Linluo sunset

Fang Xiaoxu is very depressed recently, because her own father is so stupid!

"He buttons the wrong buttons on my clothes, burns the fish black when he cooks for me, buys me boring things all the time, and often comes to my room in the middle of the night!" Fang Xu rolled over with his pillow in his arms: "Every time I As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw his straight eyes, oh! I was scared to death!"

"He has never done these things before, you just give him some more time, and it will be fine in the future." Xi Tengli looked at the child with a smile, since he was brought to Xichuan by Zhou Zi, he has come up the mountain almost every day complain.

"Young Master." The housekeeper said from outside the door: "Here comes the Great Xia Zhou."

"Your father is here." Xi Tengli touched Fang Xu: "Come with me to the living room."

"No!" Fang Xu covered his head under the quilt: "I'm going to sleep here tonight!"

Xi Tengli shook her head with a smile, and went to see Zhou Zi by herself.

In the hall, Zhou Zi was sitting at the table drinking tea.

"A Li." Seeing Xi Tengli enter the door, Zhou Zi stood up and smiled wryly: "Xiao Xu came to you again?"

"He said he was going to sleep here tonight." Xi Tengli patted him sympathetically, thinking that this person is really stupid, he can't even coax a child well for so long, why don't you help him?

"Zhou Zi." Xi Tengli said kindly: "Why don't you move with him to live with me, and I'll help you persuade him."

"Let Xiaoxu live here first, I'm going on a long trip the day after tomorrow." Zhou Zi said.

"Where are you going?" Xi Tengli asked curiously.

"Go to the desert to collect a batch of wild horses, tame them and send them to Shengjing." Zhou Zi said helplessly, "Xiaomu said that the emperor wants them, the sooner the better."

"Are you going to the desert?" Xi Tengli was a little happy when she heard the words. She had been to the desert when she was very young, and she remembered how fun it was, so she became interested: "I'll go with you."

"You?" Zhou Zi frowned: "No, I heard from Haofeng that you have been ill for the past few years and your legs are not good, so you are not allowed to go!"

"Xichuan is my place!" Xi Tengli fought hard.

"Then you are not allowed to go!" Zhou Zi categorically refused.

Xi Tengli was depressed, and let out a sullen "Oh".

When eating in the evening, Xi Tengli shrugged off feeling uncomfortable and went back to her room early to rest.

"You're making daddy angry again?!" Fang Xu glared at Zhou Zi with his hips akimbo.

"I didn't." Zhou Zi couldn't argue.

"No matter! Go and apologize to Daddy!" Fang Xu stood on the bench and gave orders.

Zhou Zi had a headache, thinking that both of them were masters, and he couldn't afford to mess with either.

"A Li." Zhou Zi knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Xi Tengli's voice came from inside the room, Zhou Zi heaved a sigh of relief, originally thought that he would probably be turned away.

"Where are you practicing calligraphy?" Zhou Zi had nothing to say.

"Write down your romantic affairs when you were young, and tell Xiaoxu." Xi Tengli didn't lift his head.

Zhou Zi: "..."

"The lady who almost committed suicide because of you back then, was she surnamed Wang or Zhang?" Xi Tengli racked her brains to think.

"Stop making trouble." Zhou Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I remember that there was a lady who almost killed her fiancé because of you?"

"...Okay, I'll take you there." Zhou Zi surrendered: "But I'll only take you, Xiaoxu is too young to go, you have to help me persuade him."

"Okay!" Xi Tengli agreed.

Seeing his cheerful appearance, Zhou Zi rubbed his temples helplessly.

When sleeping, Fang Xulai stayed on the Xitengli bed.

"Let him sleep here." Xi Tengli waved at Zhou Zi: "I happen to have something to say to Xiao Xu."

"Exactly!" Fang Xu poked out half of his head behind Xi Tengli: "I also have something to say to Daddy."

Zhou Zi once again felt that she was redundant. After going out, she wondered if the big and the young were just here to restrain her, and why she felt helpless every time she faced it.

"Xiao Xu." Xi Tengli helped Fang Xu wipe his face: "Do you want Mavericks?"

"Yes." Fang Xu nodded, "I still miss Grandpa."

"Grandpa said he wanted to go back to his hometown. I have already sent someone to send him back to his hometown in the south. We will pick him up later." Xi Tengli put down the pillow and patted it: "Xiao Niu wants to learn martial arts, so I will send him there For Yuncha Castle, the night castle master has promised to teach him martial arts personally."

"Ah?" Fang Xu was shocked at first, and then a little depressed: "Then his master is number one in the world?"

"Not good?" Xi Tengli twisted his cheeks: "What are you sighing for?"

"Wouldn't he be better than me in the future?" Fang Xu rolled.

"He said that he will protect you and grandpa in the future." Xi Tengli smiled meaningfully.

"Who wants him to protect me?" Fang Xu blushed and covered his head with the quilt.

"I'll send someone to take you to Yuncha Castle tomorrow, okay?" Xi Tengli pulled off the quilt: "He misses you too, and you can also go and see what Number One in the World looks like."

"What about dad?" Fang Xu asked.

"Your father and I have other business, so send someone to take you there, okay?" Xi Tengli continued to seduce the child: "Ordinary people can't go if they want to go, and I heard there is a living fairy inside!"

"Okay, I'll go!" Fang Xu nodded, "Then can I bring a gift for the calf?"

"Of course!" Xi Tengli was accomplished, and she felt complacent in her heart, isn't she just a child, only someone as stupid as Zhou Zi can't handle it!

Fang Xu sniffled, and Dad smiled...why is it a bit sinister?

The next day, Fang Xu happily took a small group of people to Yuncha Castle.

"How did you tell him?" Zhou Zi was greatly surprised. He thought that the child would definitely make a fuss and go to the desert.

"Want to know?" Xi Tengli smiled.

"think."

"I will not tell you."

"..."

Because wild horses in the desert are notoriously temperamental, Zhou Zi also brought many people with him when he set off.

"Do you know where there are horses?" Xi Tengli sat in the carriage and looked out.

"I've found some guides, they will know." Zhou Zi leaned lazily on the chair: "In about two or three days, we will be able to reach the depths of the desert. Where there is water, it is easy to find wild horses."

"Don't move." Xi Tengli sat down in front of him: "Here is a white hair!"

"I'm getting old." Zhou Zi smiled, "I'll be thirty next year."

"Old is not old, probably because of Xiaoxu." Xi Tengli pinched the white hair and handed it to him: "If you don't get married again, I'm afraid no girl will want to be with you again."

Zhou Zi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then covered up: "Aren't you not married either?"

"I'm different from you." Xi Tengli shook his head: "I plan to be alone all my life, if you are willing to let Xiaoxu come and accompany me often, that would be great."

Zhou Zi's mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Of course, Xiao Xu is also your son."

Xi Tengli nodded, and continued to look out the window, there was an awkward silence between the two of them for a while.

Looking at Xi Tengli's alienated and indifferent expression, Zhou Zi really wanted to say that not only Xiaoxu likes you, but I also like you.

In the evening, everyone found a shelter from the wind and prepared to set up a tent for cooking. Xi Tengli thought it was noisy, so she quietly sat in the distance.

"Why are you here alone?" Zhou Zi set up the tent only to find that Xi Tengli was gone, and after searching for a long time, he found that he was lying on the sand dune in a daze.

"It's too noisy." Xi Tengli moved to the right to make room for Zhou Zi.

The soft moonlight shone on Xi Tengli's face, her clear eyes were the same as when they first met, but they no longer had the childishness of youth. Three years is not a long time, but it is enough to make a person mature. I am, So is he.

"A Li." Sitting beside him, Zhou Zi plucked up his courage and said, "When we go back from the desert this time, do you want to go to Star Curtain City with me?"

"To your house? Okay." Xi Tengli nodded: "Anyway, Ah Lin and Xizhao have already returned, and I'm fine."

"I mean, would you like to live in my house all the time?" Zhou Zi held his hand tentatively. Instead of hesitating all the time, it's better to speak out directly. Life is too short, and I don't want to waste a quarter of an hour.

Xi Tengli's body froze slightly when she heard the words. Since she met him, he has always taken good care of herself, and it's not that she can't feel it at all. It's just that there is another person in her heart all the time, so she can only keep avoiding Zhou Zi. , See you again in three years, I thought he had already forgotten that relationship from the beginning, but I didn't expect him to mention it again.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Zi whispered.

Xi Tengli pulled out her hand in a panic, not knowing how to answer, she always thought that Zhou Zi was just impulsive when she was young and inexperienced, so she never seriously considered it, Zhou Zi is very good, but she I have always regarded him as a friend, and never thought about anything else. Now that I suddenly let myself make such a choice, I will always feel a little overwhelmed.

"Forget it, I won't force you." Zhou Zi pulled him to stand up: "Go and eat."

Seeing the fleeting disappointment in his eyes, Xi Tengli couldn't bear it, but didn't know how to persuade him.

When resting at night, Xi Tengli sat in the tent and couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she hugged the pillow and sighed.

After another hour, I still couldn't fall asleep, so I simply got dressed and prepared to go out for a walk.

After turning over a few small hills, he saw Zhou Zi practicing his sword in front of him.

Knowing him for so many years, his weapon has always been Xiao, but I didn't know that his sword is also so good.

Under the full moon, which was as light as a jade plate, a pale blue figure fluttered about, and the silver soft sword in his hand was moved as fast as a gust of wind. After hundreds of strokes, the speed did not slow down at all. Xi Tengli was surprised and a little bit Envy, I haven't seen him for three years, his kung fu has become more and more powerful, I couldn't catch his fifty moves at the beginning, and now I probably can't even catch five moves.

Zhou Zi was upset and insomnia at first, so she ran out to practice, thinking about going back to sleep when she was tired, but the more she practiced, the more energetic she became. During the period of depression, she inadvertently saw Xi Tengli standing aside and looking at her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Withdrawing his sword and standing there, he didn't know what to say.

Knowing that Zhou Zi was always not good at words, Xi Tengli was thinking about what to say when Zhou Zi's eyes suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Xi Tengli was taken aback.

"Someone is coming in this direction." Zhou Zi, who has excellent hearing, pulled Xi Tengli and ran back: "And there is more than one person, go back and have a look."
