Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

birthday.

It's the second quarter of Yin time.

The first thing Gu Xi did when he opened his eyes was to run to He Chengyuan's yard and knock on the door.

"He Chengyuan, are you awake?"

Soon, the door opened from the inside, revealing a sleepy face.

The rule of Qianqingzong is to start at the beginning of Maoshi and stop at the beginning of Haishi.

Because this habit was developed since childhood, even He Chengyuan and Gu Xi didn't change it after they entered Zhuoyulou.

It's just two o'clock in the Yin hour, let alone He Chengyuan who is still sleepy, even the spirit chickens in the Qianqing Zongling Animal Garden haven't moistened their crowing throats yet.

He Chengyuan's eyes were hazy, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What's wrong, Doudou?"

Gu Xi was full of energy and was in a hurry: "I'm here to ask for a birthday gift!"

He stood outside the door, wearing single clothes, barefoot, and his face was flushed from the cold.

Thinking about the birthday gift just now made her brain run hot, but Gu Xi didn't feel too excited.

Now being blown by the cold winter wind, I couldn't help shivering from the cold, and my chest injury was involved, and my mouth hissed in pain.

Seeing this, He Chengyuan quickly pulled him into the room, and closed the door behind his back.

Pushing the person onto the bed, sitting down and wrapping up the quilt, He Chengyuan poured out a glass of water, put it in his hand and ironed it with spiritual power, and felt that the temperature was about the same, and stuffed it into Gu Xi's hand.

"It's not hot, drink it."

Gu Xi drank a few mouthfuls of hot water, the cold air dissipated a lot, and he exhaled comfortingly.

Holding the teacup to warm his hands, he curled up comfortably in He Chengyuan's still warm quilt, and continued to ask for his birthday gift without forgetting his original intention.

"He Chengyuan, it's my birthday today, should you bring out the congratulatory gift you prepared?"

He has been waiting for so long, if He Chengyuan dared to wait until the birthday party to give it to him at night, he would definitely kick him away without hesitation.

He Chengyuan did not refuse this time, took out a peach wood box from the storage ring, and placed it on the table.

"Hey, bring it quickly," Gu Xi stretched out his hand, and waved his finger at He Chengyuan, signaling He Chengyuan to bring the things to him quickly.

"Do you want to guess what it is first?" There was a smile in He Chengyuan's voice, his slender fingers rested casually on the peach wood box, and tapped lightly with his fingertips.

"Hey, look at your smile, do you think I can't guess right?"

Gu Xi glanced at the corners of He Chengyuan's upturned lips, and couldn't help reminding: "We both grew up wearing a pair of trousers. I asked you what you wanted to give me before, and that was just a formality. If you let me guess I'm sure I'll guess right."

He Chengyuan smiled: "Then, guess?"

"Then what if I guessed right?"

"What do you propose?"

"Well... what should I do?" Gu Xi felt that he was bound to win, so he had to take this opportunity to think of a very cost-effective thing.

"You help me write a month's exercise?"

"Help me deceive the teacher while I'm sleeping in class?"

"Hey, it's hard to think about it. I feel like you have to help me do these things without guessing right. It's not worth it."

"Let me think about it... I have it!"

He thought of a good idea, his eyes lit up suddenly, and a smirk rose on the corner of his lips: "If I guess right, you can ask my brother Shengxi to tell me."

Gu Xi still remembered that when he was a child, he brought He Chengyuan back to Qianqingzong, and at first he wanted to take in a younger brother.

Seeing that it is impossible for him to find another younger brother, why don't he get his ear addiction from He Chengyuan!

He Chengyuan felt that Gu Xi must be wrong, so he smiled and nodded: "No problem."

With He Chengyuan's approval, Gu Xi immediately narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the shape of the mahogany box.

The peach wood box is about the size of He Chengyuan's palm, and the height is about one finger. Excluding the size of the box itself, the size of the things inside will never exceed half a finger.

Of course, the most important thing is that a while ago Gu Xi mentioned that one of his things was old and it was time to change it, implying that He Chengyuan gave him a new one, but at that time He Chengyuan didn't answer his words at all.

Now that I think about it, I probably planned to surprise him on his birthday.

Hehe, trying to trick him.

800 years too early!

I thought so, but Gu Xi remembered that she was still a little sad at the time.

He didn't know what was wrong, but he always felt that the things he got from He Chengyuan were easier to use than his own.

The talisman paper, cinnabar, is so small that it is used when learning talismans.It's as big as practicing exercises, magic weapons and panacea.

Anyway, if you really want to count it seriously, it's too much, it seems that there are several sets of middle clothes that don't fit the size in his clothes box, all of which were taken from He Chengyuan and forgot to return.

"The ring," Gu Xi said decisively without hesitation.

"The ring used to draw the bow, you just say that I guessed it right?"

He smiled smugly, his smile was bright and flamboyant, and his tone was extremely firm: "Come on, brother Chengyuan, quickly call brother Shengxi to listen!"

The boy's round almond eyes were clear and bright, as if filled with the starlight of the entire sky.

He Chengyuan froze for a moment when he heard the words, his fingers on the box stiffened.

He never thought that Gu Xi could really guess it.

"Doudou, how did you guess that?" He Chengyuan lowered his eyes and asked casually.

The palms were sticky and sweated a little from tension.

This is the secret method that he found after many inquiries, and he succeeded in refining it with the help of Brother He Sheng from the Geng Building.

So even though he told Gu Xi exactly what he wanted to collect, it was impossible to accurately guess the finished magic weapon he wanted to forge based on the materials of the refining tool alone.

Do you have a good heart?

How could anyone in this world really be able to completely guess another person's mind?

He Chengyuan felt his head was in a mess and his heart was beating too violently.

perhaps……

Gu Xi also cared about him a lot.

Not the kind of care between brothers, but like him.

"So I guessed right!"

Gu Xi jumped up from the bed excitedly, ran to He Chengyuan's side, opened the mahogany box, looked at the delicate ring inside, and flushed with excitement.

"You don't need to guess, I already know what you want to give. Do you think that our friendship of almost ten years is fake?"

"Brother Chengyuan, don't change the subject, quickly call Brother Shengxi, I am willing to admit defeat!"

The more he looked at the ring, the more he liked it. He took it out of the mahogany box and held it up to look at it carefully.

The light red ring was as smooth as water, with bits of light shining inside.

He Chengyuan was silent for a moment, tilted his head, looked at Gu Xi who was standing beside him, his eyes gradually darkened.

"Doudou, do you still remember that the star tear stone was used in this ring?"

"Remember," Gu Xi nodded.

How could he forget about the Star Tears Stone?

A stone that condenses the last ray of starlight before the polar night disappears.

They almost threw their lives in Weicheng just for such a star tear stone.

"Doudou, do you know what the Star Tears Stone represents?"

"I don't know, what's the point?"

He Chengyuan looked at Gu Xi's face, dark tides surged in his glazed eyes.

Thinking that Gu Xi might also like him, the originally hidden desire and paranoia of possessiveness rolled up from the bottom of his heart uncontrollably, almost uncontrollable.

He asked himself that he had never been a good man of morals.

Even though Min Zheng and Gu Mingyuan had taught him for many years in Qianqingzong, even if the masters in Zhuoyu Tower had given him advice.

In his bones, he is still a wolf who can show his white fangs at any time, and can bite the enemy's throat at any time.

It will eat the prey it gets without hesitation.

He Chengyuan bent down and approached slowly, with his arms pressed against Gu Xi's side, his fiery eyes swept over Gu Xi's face inch by inch.

From the pale pink lips, to the white and soft cheeks, and finally to the clear eyes under the long and curly eyelashes.

The four eyes met, and only each other remained in the field of vision.

Warm snorting, breathing entangled.

He Chengyuan was tall and slender, and when he pressed down against the light, he had an inexplicably strong sense of oppression, which made Gu Xi unconsciously hold his breath.

He felt that He Chengyuan's expression looked inexplicably dangerous, staring at him as if he was looking at some prey that was bound to be captured, which made him swallow nervously.

Blinking, Gu Xi suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and asked softly: "So He Chengyuan, what is the meaning of the Star Tears Stone?"

This is the stone that He Chengyuan almost risked his life to get for him.

He really wanted to know what the special meaning was.

He Chengyuan lowered his head, and his lips slowly approached Gu Xi's ears. The cold lips were almost only one breath away from the small pinnae.

Her voice was deep and hoarse, with desire almost gushing out: "The Star Tears Stone represents eternal brilliance."

The first ray of light encountered in the cold winter when he was seven years old.

never fade

forever bright

"you?"

When He Chengyuan heard Gu Xi asking him, his tone was very serious: "Does the star tear stone represent you who will always be bright?"

The lips that were about to bite Gu Xi's earlobe remained motionless with their slightly parted movements.

He Chengyuan's whole body was stiff because of this unexpected answer.

He never knew that he would be brilliant in Gu Xi's eyes.

He couldn't believe that such a beautiful, pure, brilliant word representing hope that would never die could be used to describe him.

"He Chengyuan," Gu Xi tilted his head, looking straight into He Chengyuan's eyes.

The pitch-black eyes were clear and bright, shining like the light of the sun.

"I like this congratulatory gift very much, thank you very much."

Instead of retreating into He Chengyuan's chest, he hugged He Chengyuan's shoulder with his backhand and buried his head on He Chengyuan's neck.

"Thank you for giving me this ring, I really like it."

Gu Xi has been thinking about a problem these days.

Think about when He Chengyuan and Rong Yu will break the window paper, and when will they be together.

Gu Xi didn't even realize that he had never thought about what to do if Rong Yu didn't like He Chengyuan at all.

Because he subconsciously felt that He Chengyuan was so good and perfect, no one would be able to reject He Chengyuan.

Every time he thinks of this, Gu Xi will feel sentimental unconsciously.

Because thinking like this is tantamount to gouging flesh out of him.

Gouged out in a piece of nine years, has grown into the most precious part of the body.

He didn't know if He Chengyuan could still spend it with him on his 15th birthday.

I don't know if they will be as close as before in the days to come.

So he was really happy to receive this gift.

It represents He Chengyuan's gift.

It was an answer to his panic these days.

He won't leave him.

Although, in the form of a ring.

There was a long silence, accompanied by the slightly heavy breathing of the people around me.

Gu Xi felt that He Chengyuan hugged him back tightly, and suddenly rubbed his head with the other hand very hard.

He couldn't see He Chengyuan's face, but could only hear a cold, hoarse, nasal voice.

"Ah."

There was a smile in the voice: "You who are always bright."

Gu Xi also laughed when she heard the words, raised her hand and rubbed her nose: "Then when does brother Cheng Yuan plan to call brother Xi?"

Pressing the hand above the head, the slender fingers curled up and pressed tightly.

After a while, He Chengyuan asked in a muffled voice: "Can't you just stop calling?"

"I'm willing to admit defeat!"

"Change it to something else."

"He Chengyuan, you can't afford it? I really look down on you. Are you a man?"

"..."

"If you admit that you are not a man, then you can stop barking."

"..."

"Anyway, if you don't bark, you just can't afford it. From now on, I'll always be on top of you, and you won't be able to stand up again."

"...Brother Xi."

"One word is missing."

"..."

"hurry up!"

"...Brother Xi."
