Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 6. Visitors

This afternoon, when Jin Shu came in, Nangong Yu was lying on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep, and the book in his hand was about to fall off.Jin Shu walked over, took down the book in his hand, put it aside, then stared blankly at Nangongyu's defenseless face, and bent down involuntarily.

"What am I doing?!"

Touching Nangongyu's soft and elastic lips, Jin Shu was startled, stood up quickly, ran into the studio next to him in a panic and closed the door.He slumped on the ground covering his mouth, his heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous.How could I suddenly have such an idea, if Mr. Nangong finds out, everything will be over!

After sitting in panic for half an hour, he gradually calmed down, then took a few deep breaths, stood up from the ground while holding the door panel, and prepared to go to the kitchen to find a rag and start working.He walked out of the studio and saw two more people in the hall at some point.

"You are..." Jin Shu was a little uneasy, Nangong Yu lived here alone, and he had never seen him have a guest, so who are these two people?

"Hush——" The young man sitting next to Nangong Yu closed his book and stood up, made a silent gesture to him, and whispered: "Don't wake him up."

Jin Shu nodded in a daze. This boy was born with a radiant complexion, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows like distant mountains, and ears like pearls. Under the long eyelashes, those big black eyes were like two holy lakes, shining with innocence. Guang Guang, he has light green short sleeves on his upper body, off-white trousers on his lower body, and a pair of pull-up boards on his feet. He is casually dressed but extremely fresh. feeling of joy.

"Are you Mr. Nangong's younger brother?" Jin Shu asked suspiciously. At first glance, this young man looked very similar to Nangong Yu.

"No." The young man smiled, his handsome face looked extremely pure.

"We are here to pay back the money." The man who had been looking at the painting in the hall just now came over and said, he was dressed more formally, tall and slender, with a serious face, "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm here to clean Mr. Nangong's room. Since you have something to do, wake up Mr. Nangong. He doesn't know how long he will sleep." Jin Shu said.

"No, how can you bother him with such a trivial matter." The boy looked at Jin Shu, "You want to clean the room? Shall I clean it with you?"

"Thank you, but don't bother you, this is my job." Jin Shu said.

"Let's go together, let's go together, how long will it take to clean such a big house." Regardless of Jin Shu's refusal, the young man followed him to the kitchen.

"Actually, the ones that need to be cleaned are only a few rooms that Mr. Nangong usually uses." Jin Shu said, picked up the basin and began to collect water.

"His name is Nangong Yu, right?" the boy asked.

"Um……"

"My name is Yuchi Gong. You can call me Xiaowei." The boy continued, "What's your name?"

"Xiaowei?" Jin Shu thought, as if he was calling Nangong Yu, "My name is Jin Shu."

"Haha." Yu Chi Gong laughed, then quickly covered his mouth again, and said softly, "I almost forgot he was sleeping. The name is so interesting, Jin Shu."

"What's the point?" Jin Shu asked.

Yuchi Gong said with a smile, "I said you would hit me, let's clean up quickly."

Jin Shu thought about it, he didn't have to be so serious with a boy he just met, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After cleaning, Jin Shu left, Nangong Yu was still asleep, and had no intention of waking up.

"Why don't you wake him up," the man said.

"No need. Qing Yuan, if you have something to do, go first, I'll wait by myself." The young man sat beside Nangong Yu, looked at his slightly frowning brows, and said worriedly, "It seems that he hasn't closed his eyes for several nights." ——

The sky is full of dark clouds, the air is extremely hot, and a long-simmering storm seems to be coming at any time.Nangongyu walked wearily on a deserted road, looking around while wiping her sweat.He didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know where he was going. He only knew that he had been walking for a long time, and now he had to find a place with water quickly, or he would die of thirst.The road ahead had no end in sight, the road behind was hazy, and the surroundings were gray and dead.Thinking that he might not be able to find water if he continued walking like this, he simply left the road and set foot on the bare wasteland.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, clouds of mist gradually rose from the ground, and an ethereal singing voice came from the barren wilderness:

"Who can tell

where does the road go

where the years go

- only time..."

Nangong Yu listened attentively, the looming ballad seemed to be lamenting something, and it seemed to be telling something, making people feel a kind of faint sadness quietly seeping into the heart, but what this sadness gave people was not pain, but an inexplicable tranquility .He involuntarily walked in the direction of the singing.The singing gradually became clearer, and the clear voice sang:

"Who can tell

Whether love grows

as one wishes

- only time..."

He walked along with the singing, the singing seemed to be always ahead, and the fog did not dissipate, but the surrounding scenery gradually changed. The grass on the ground increased, and gradually there were shrubs, and then There is a forest, and when you go deep into the forest, there is a clear stream!

Nangong Yu rubbed her eyes and looked carefully.Yes, it is really a stream!The stream is flowing slowly, swaying the reflection of the green grass on the bank. From time to time, one or two red dragonflies will pass by briskly, causing fleeting ripples on the water surface.The bottom of the water is a layer of fine white sand, and there are many smooth pebbles scattered on the white sand. Several small transparent fish are swimming leisurely around those stones.He pushed aside the grass on the bank and took the water to wash his face. The stream was cool, and the heat in his body seemed to dissipate a lot at once.He picked up the water and took a few more sips, and the feeling of hunger and thirst was finally relieved.

"Who can tell

when the roads converge here

Love

may have been born in your heart

Who can tell..."

The singing gradually drifted away and seemed to disappear in the sky, leaving only the scattered chirping of insects and the gurgling sound of running water in the woods.Nangong Yu wiped the water off her face and continued to search for the singer.

The mist gradually dissipated, the bright sunlight fell through the gaps in the forest, and there was a burst of fragrance in the moist air.Occasionally, a few butterflies chased and flew past Nangongyu.Nangong Yu walked around in this mysterious forest, but found no sign of other people passing by.He had no choice but to go back to the bank, sat on the grass, and stared at the stream in a daze.Perhaps because he was too tired, he soon fell asleep on the grass.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of cold air hit, and Nangong Yu woke up immediately with a shiver.He opened his eyes drowsily, and saw white petals floating over him.

petal?How is this going?Nangong Yu was thinking in a daze, and suddenly, he realized that he was lying in the water.He sat up quickly, and the water on his body threw big splashes in the stream, startling several dragonflies that were drinking water away.He wiped his face, collected himself, and let out a sigh of relief, thankful that he was not drowned.However, he clearly remembered that he was sitting on the grass by the bank, so how could he be lying in the water?

He looked at the grass suspiciously, but there was no trace of him left on the grass.He looked at the stream again, and the white petals were still floating on the surface of the water. The petals were blocked by his body and gradually spread out around him.These petals were white and tender, and they didn't look like they had fallen by themselves. He picked up one and put it in the palm of his hand, and he could vaguely smell a strange fragrance.

Could it be that there are others here?He looked upstream and saw a man standing on the shore not far away.He was dressed in black, sadly looking down at the flowers in his hands, and the petals were falling from his hands one by one.

Nangong Yu walked over curiously, the man shook his head and said to himself:

"I'll never get it, never will."

"What can't you get?" Nangong Yu couldn't help but say something.

"Don't you know best?"

The man asked back, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Nangong Yu, tears slipped from his eyes and dripped on the petals in his hand.

Seeing the man's face, Nangong Yu took a step back in surprise, but her feet slipped and she fell into the water with a plop.This man's face...

Yu Chigong was sitting in the hall on the first floor, and suddenly felt a little cold, he touched Nangongyu's arm, and felt a little cold, so he went upstairs to Nangongyu's bedroom and got a blanket down.He walked to Nangongyu, quietly covered him with the blanket, and just straightened up, Nangongyu suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled it hard, and he fell into his arms all at once.
