Beautiful Alpha and Beta Shadowguard

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, take a look at the gift I gave you, do you like it?"

As soon as he stepped into the gate of [Liu Ying Ju], Gu Tingshen heard Xiao Li's cheerful voice.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but Gu Tingshen did not expect that Xiao Li would take the initiative to get close to Ying Yi after only a few days since he came back with Ying Yi.

Not only took the initiative to celebrate Ying Yi's birthday, but also gave him gifts.

Moreover, he clearly always referred to Yingyi as "Mr. Wei" before, but now he calls him "Brother Wei".

Xiao Li has been working for Gu Tingshen for several years.

He was a mercenary, and he was very vigilant on weekdays. Except for being familiar with the captain, Lao Li, he basically only dealt with other people in business.

It was the first time that Gu Tingshen saw him take the initiative to get close to someone he had only known for a few days.

Seeing Gu Ting's deep surprise, Old Wu smiled and explained to him, "Xiao Li saw the competition between you and Mr. Wei this morning."

Gu Tingshen understood that Xiao Li should be interested in his and Ying Yi's sword skills.

But he didn't dare to ask Gu Tingshen, so he could only harass Yingyi.

"What did he give Wei Ying?" Gu Tingshen asked Lao Wu casually.

"I really didn't notice that," Old Wu said with a smile, "In my case, I wrapped a small red envelope for Mr. Wei."

Hearing this deeply, Gu Ting glanced at him unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Old Wu also prepared a gift for Ying Yi.

As the owner, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to go in empty-handed?

Especially since he forgot that today is Yingyi's birthday.

When this idea popped up in his mind, Gu Tingshen suddenly felt a little delicate

The relationship between him and Yingyi is clearly that of master and servant, why should he, the master, care about the birthday of his servant?

But at the same time, because Ying Yi's origin is quite mysterious, and he is considered to be half of a cub he is raising, it doesn't seem right for Gu Tingshen to ignore him at all.

You know, when he raised the pure paper "Ying Yi" in "Da Yan", he never spared anything.

When catching up with game activities and festivals and birthdays, he even sent many gifts to the paper "Shadow One" without landing.

Comparing the two, it seems that he treats the real person better than he treats the paper one.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingshen's few consciences pricked slightly again, and reluctantly began to think about what to send a picture.

Two minutes later, Gu Ting sent a message with his eyes downcast, and then walked back to [Liu Ying Ju].

July [-]th is Ying Yi's birthday, after Old Wu and Xiao Li learned about it, they arranged a sumptuous dinner for Ying Yi.

The dinner is served in the gazebo of [Liu Ying Ju].

From a distance, Gu Tingshen saw Xiao Li happily talking to Ying Yi.

Unlike Xiao Li, Ying Yi was as quiet as ever, but seemed to have sugar in his mouth.

The candy was pushed to the left cheek by him for a while, and pushed to the right cheek by him for a while. It looked round on one side and bulged on the other. Subtle cuteness.

And on the stone bench beside them, the AI ​​robot "Xiaoyi" is endlessly repeating the cheerful "Happy Birthday" song.

The sound of music that Gu Tingshen heard a moment ago came from there.

Both Ying Yi and Xiao Li were very keen, although Gu Tingshen didn't make any sound, they noticed it right away.

Knowing that Gu Tingshen doesn't like noise, Ying quickly pressed the power button of "Xiaoyi", and the bustling [Liu Ying Ju] immediately quieted down.

He and Xiao Li stood up together.

"gentlemen."

"Sir, you are back."

Gu Ting responded deeply, and went straight into the gazebo.

Ying Yi immediately turned sideways to give up the middle position, and moved his bowl and chopsticks aside.

Seeing that Gu Tingshen intended to eat here, Lao Wu immediately added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Gu Tingshen.

"Sit down." Gu Ting took a deep look at the stone bench beside him.

Ying Yi sat down obediently, while Xiao Li stood aside awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Do you still want me to invite you?" Gu Ting gave Xiao Li a deep sideways look.

Xiao Li smiled and sat down again.

With Gu Tingshen around, Xiao Li naturally didn't dare to play around with Ying Yi like before.

Yingyi is a boring gourd again.

So the atmosphere quickly fell silent.

Seeing this, Gu Tingshen didn't say a word, until the kitchen rushed to deliver several hot meals, then Gu Tingshen slowly picked up the chopsticks, and said softly, "Go on."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to Yingyi and Xiao Li, and started to eat by himself.

Xiao Li: ...

Not sir, with a giant Buddha like you around, who can let it go? !

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, but 2 minutes later, Xiao Li restarted "Xiaoyi" again boldly, and played the happy birthday song in a low voice.

This time it was not so noisy, but Ying Yi thought, such a childish song, the master should still not like it.

Therefore, although Xiao Li has good intentions, Ying Yi still wants him to shut down "Xiao Yi".

Xiao Li suddenly asked Gu Tingshen with a smile, "Sir, are you also here to celebrate Brother Wei's birthday?"

Yingyi froze immediately when he heard the words, and looked at Gu Tingshen in a little panic——for such a humble shadow guard, he has never had such wishful thinking!

However, in the next second, Ying Yi saw Gu Tingshen slightly stop his chopsticks, and nodded reservedly.

Although he didn't speak, everyone present understood - he really came to celebrate Ying Yi's birthday!

Xiao Li was so excited, his mind was full of "Oh my god, Lao Li, I'm so excited that Gu Tianxian actually came to celebrate Big Brother Wei's birthday ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is Gu Tianxian who doesn't even care about his father Gu Zhao's birthday!

Xiao Li has been with him all these years, but he has never seen Gu Tingshen take the initiative to celebrate the birthday of anyone other than Mr. Gu!Even on Li Heng's side, Mr. Li took the initiative to make arrangements every year, and then invited Gu Tingshen to come over.

Unlike Xiao Li, who was full of bullets, Ying Yi was completely dumbfounded.

Rarely, a trace of daze appeared in the wolf-like hanging eyes, and Ying Yi secretly raised his eyes to look at Gu Tingshen in confusion, as if he was very puzzled and unbelievable by Gu Tingshen's words.

His appearance is actually a bit fierce and cold. When he is expressionless on weekdays, he is like a stinky stone without emotion.

But when he looked at him so carefully, docilely and blankly, Gu Tingshen remembered that well-behaved and obedient little black sheep the night he just brought him back.

The corners of the lips curled up again unconsciously.

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked Yingyi softly, "Do you like candy?"

Shadow One: ...?

He looked at Gu Tingshen even more blankly. He really didn't know why Gu Tingshen asked such a question suddenly, but he still answered obediently, "No, I like sugar very much."

Gu Ting heard the words deeply, and looked at his cheek in wonder—don't you like food?But just now he saw that Ying Yi had a large piece of candy in his mouth.

However, after he approached, Ying Yi seemed to swallow the whole piece of candy, not sure if he choked on it.

Seeing Gu Ting's deep question, Ying Yizheng was at a loss, when he heard Xiao Li laughing "puchi".

"Sir, do you also think Brother Wei was eating candy just now?"

Gu Ting took a deep look at him, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Li just laughed and let Ying Yi speak for himself.

Only then did Yingyi understand what Gu Tingshen had misunderstood.

"That, that's not sugar," he explained to Gu Tingshen seriously, "Yes, my subordinates are practicing oral exercises."

After a week of study and exercise, Yingyi's speech is now much more coherent than before, and his enunciation and pronunciation are also much more accurate.

Picking up the chopsticks again and took a bite of light food, Gu Ting signaled Yingyi with great interest to explain in detail.

Yingyi thought for a while, "The teacher said, in this way, the muscles of the tongue can be exercised, making it more flexible and powerful, and laying a solid foundation for future practice of Mandarin."

Having said that, Yingyi followed the steps of oral exercises taught by the teacher, and showed Gu Tingshen a demonstration

He closed his lips tightly, pressed his tongue firmly against the inner wall of his mouth, and cycled slowly and forcefully at a clockwise angle, and then cycled counterclockwise once.

Gu Tingshen saw again that his cheeks bulged from time to time, as if he had a piece of round candy in his mouth.

"Working so hard?" He smiled at Yingyi, and said slowly, "Today is your birthday."

Shadow One just... didn't know what to say again.

For a person like him, birthdays are actually no different from ordinary days.

In his previous life, he basically lived a life of licking blood, and his birthday was far less important than being able to see the sun the next day.

In this life, he had been ignorant for the first 20 years, and he didn't have any relatives, so no one would celebrate a fool's birthday.

So, when Xiao Li and the housekeeper gave him a birthday banquet today, Ying Yi was actually very surprised and surprised, and only then did he think of it.

The arrival of the master made him even more flattered.

But even so, Yingyi will never forget his duty

The master said that no useless people will be left by his side.

Yingyi knows that his foundation in this life is actually much worse than many ordinary people.

As for the task of the film king, the master can actually hand it over to other people.

Maybe it was because he was thinking about the old feelings in his previous life that the master didn't drive him away.

After leaving him behind, the master not only arranged for him such an exquisite and luxurious residence as [Photography Residence], but also provided him with the best food and clothing, and even hired many knowledgeable teachers for him.

After being brought home by his master, Ying Yi felt that he was living in a dream every day.

But even in his dreams, he never imagined that he would live such a peaceful and beautiful life.

This made Ying Yi feel both cherished and terrified, and at the same time worked harder to absorb all the knowledge about this world.

Because the doctor advised him not to use the vocal cords a lot in the near future, it is best to let the vocal cords adapt gradually. The teacher asked him to practice breathing and oral exercises as much as possible in the past few days, and only a small part of the line practice.

In terms of breath, Ying, who practiced martial arts in his previous life, is very familiar with the qi sinking dantian, so the combined breathing of the chest and abdomen is not difficult for him.

As for oral exercises, since it mainly exercises the musculature of the tongue and does not delay him from doing other things, Ying Yi practiced desperately almost all the time outside of class.

He is a man of few words. When the master didn't come just now, it was Xiao Li who was talking almost all the time.

At that time, while Yingyi was listening, he subconsciously practiced oral exercises, and it was only then that Gu Ting took a deep look at him.

Hard training is a matter of course for Yingyi, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, so when Gu Tingshen asked him "I still worked so hard on my birthday", Yingyi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Although he didn't say anything, Gu Tingshen knew it.

He also just remembered that this morning when he saw Ying Yi doing morning exercises in the bamboo forest from a distance, this man seemed to have puffed cheeks.

Thinking of what Old Wu said at that time, "I have never seen such a hardworking person in these years", Gu Ting looked deeply at Yingyi with a hint of appreciation in his eyes

In fact, he also likes people who work hard and cherish opportunities.

After a while, Old Wu personally brought in a bowl of longevity noodles and placed it in front of Ying Yi.

He said to Ying with a smile, "Mister specially told the kitchen to make it for you."

Most young people in the Xia Kingdom celebrate their birthdays and eat cakes.

Old Wu and Xiao Li thought about the hard times before Yingyi, and thought that he probably hadn't eaten cake, so today they specially prepared one for Yingyi, but they really didn't make longevity noodles for him.

But in Dayan, people will definitely eat a bowl of longevity noodles on their birthday.

Both Gu Tingshen and Ying Yi remember this.

But before, no one had prepared longevity noodles for Ying Yi.

The longevity noodles are hot and fragrant.

In the steaming mist, Ying Yi lowered his eyes and opened and closed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Gu Tingshen.

Gu Ting looked deeply at his slightly red eyes, and after a while, he looked away, and urged in a warm voice, "If you don't eat any more, it's going to be cold."

Only then did Yingyi roll his throat, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the longevity noodles slowly and earnestly.

Knowing that he was uncomfortable, when he was eating noodles, Gu Tingshen didn't look at him anymore, his eyes wandered casually in [Liu Ying Ju].

But soon, his gaze stopped, and fell on the carved window in Yingyi's bedroom.

Under the Rongrong light, Gu Tingshen could clearly see two branches of magnolia blooming silently under the window of Yingyi—the two branches he picked up casually in the morning.

Suddenly there was an indescribable subtlety in his heart.

Although he doesn't know much about Yingyi, Gu Tingshen can at least tell that this tough shadow guard is not a person with romantic feelings.

Then, the only reason why he left these two magnolias and took such good care of them is - they were given to him by Gu Tingshen.

If someone else treats the two flower branches he left behind so meticulously, Gu Tingshen's first reaction must be that the person likes him.

But this person is Shadow One.

Gu Tingshen is very sure that Ying Yiyi didn't have any thoughts about him.

Then, there is only one reason why Yingyi will be like this

Just because he is his master.

Because Gu Tingshen is his master, Yingyi will take care of the flower branches that Gu Tingshen casually throws to him.

When trying to figure it out, Gu Ting suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

Because of this joy, Gu Tingshen decided to be more tolerant towards Ying Yi tonight.

"I have a gift for you." He raised his lips and smiled at Ying.

In Ruifeng's slightly bent eyes, was Ying Yi's slightly astonished face.

……

At the end of the dinner, the gift that Gu Tingshen had prepared for Ying Yi finally arrived

It was a small thing no bigger than a slap in the shadow, its whole body was pitch black, without a trace of stray hair.

Its eyes are a beautiful golden copper color, it stands tremblingly in the palm of Shadow, and calls to Shadow softly.

"Mi~."

Ying Yi suddenly petrified, all the muscles in his body tensed up, and he even held his breath.

Gu Tingshen, who had been watching for a while, seemed to see Ying Yi's hair all over his body explode, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
