Phoenix fall

Good times are always easy to fly by.

Yu Zhen, Gan Yu, and the white fox Bai Di who was forced to be brought back by him live in a bamboo house on the snow mountain every day, playing the piano with Gan Yu on weekdays, fishing in the ice lake, and occasionally going down the mountain to the market , of course, most of the time it is the two of them acting like there is no one else around anytime and anywhere, which once made Bai Di clearly realize that he is superfluous and obstructive.

After Bai Di transformed into a form, there were always three months of retreat every year. He would go to a cave to start retreat at the end of September every year. He would leave the retreat before the New Year's Eve, and go down the mountain with Yu Zhenqianyu to buy New Year's goods and celebrate the New Year together.

This is quite like an ordinary family of three living a life. In a flash, Yuzhen is already 25 years old, and it will be his 25th birthday in five days.

In the past few days, Gan Yu and Bai Di have always been secretive, as if they were doing something behind their backs. After a few surprise interrogations, Yu Zhen probably knew that these two people... er... the two demons Prepare yourself a birthday gift.

This day, Zhen Zhen stood by the frozen lake in front of the courtyard, looking at the lake surface which was still covered with snowflakes all year round.

When he got up, he didn't find the two of them, and he didn't know where he went to prepare things again.

Yu Zhen was a little dazed, time flies so fast!He was 25 years old in a flash.

Even if it is a long-lived one-hundred-year-old, it has already passed a quarter. Thinking of Gan Yuzhen, who has been married for nearly nine years but has not changed, he can't help feeling a little disappointed. When he is old, Gan Yu will probably still be like this now. looks like...

When I was alone, I always tended to think wildly, and the thoughts that I had tried my best to ignore and suppressed since I got married surged up with the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and the whole person seemed very depressed.And this state lasted for a whole day, and it didn't ease until twilight, and it became more and more irritable!

Gan Yu and Bai Di didn't come back until night fell!

Xie Zhen looked at the dark bamboo house with some hesitation. After thinking about it, she got up and entered the house to light up the lights. The originally dark and silent bamboo house became bright and warm under the light of the cluster of candles.

Everything in the room was still the same, there was still a teacup on the table that Cheng Zhen drank tea after waking up and didn't put it back, and the half-made snow-white cloak on the soft couch was placed in a mess.

That was yesterday when Gan Yu had been working for less than an hour, when Cheng Zhen got bored and turned around to tease the person beside the soft couch, and then was left behind by Gan Yu indiscriminately when he was tossing around for half the night.

Yu Zhen has already been able to eat bigu, and he doesn't feel much without eating for a day, but thinking that the two of them might be a little tired after running outside for a day, Yu Zhen decided to order two bowls of noodles.

When Zhen Zhen came to the kitchen, looking at the well-organized kitchen, she didn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, she realized that the dough must be kneaded first, and quickly dug out the flour in the cabinet.

"Tsk, trouble!"

After looking back and forth in the wooden basin countless times, Mian Yuzhen frowned and clicked his tongue lightly, and was still either too runny or too dry.

Originally thinking that the following is an absolutely simple matter, Zhen Zhen was a little frustrated. After spending all the white on his face and body, he finally cleaned up his face, and then stood and slowly recalled Gan Yu. Here's what to do next.

"call--"

Looking at the noodles in the two big bowls in front of him, he finally let out a sigh of relief, he was exhausted!

While pouring the seasoning into the bowl, Xi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although the noodles are a little different in thickness and not very beautiful, they are cooked anyway!

After sprinkling the seasoning, Zhen Zhen couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the bright red noodles, they looked delicious!Yu Zhen couldn't hold back and took two chopsticks and fed them to his mouth. He had to taste them first!

"Puff—cough cough cough cough..."

There was an earth-shattering coughing sound in the kitchen, and Ying Zhen hurriedly went to the side of the tank to scoop up a large ladle of water, and after picking it up, he poured it violently.

Finally recovering, Zhen Zhen put down the ladle in his hand, and raised his hand to gently wipe the corners of his tear-stained eyes.

By the way, he didn't seem to put much chili!How can it be so spicy?

Although Yuzhen really wanted to make two more bowls, he tried to have a perfect result in his first cooking.

But thinking about the troublesome thing about ramen noodles, I decided to forget it!He had tasted it just now, and it was really cooked!

Except that it's a bit spicy... He thinks that he is at least [-]% similar to what Gan Yu did!

It seems that he is indeed very talented, even cooking is not difficult for him!

Tsk, this guy is so good, that's all, there is no challenge at all!

Xie Zhen sat at the table with her chin propped on her hands and watched the heat from the two bowls of noodles on the table slowly dissipate, and the noodles started to boil without hearing the sound of footsteps.

"Jingle jingle—"

The wind chimes under the eaves outside the door rang softly, and Cheng Zhen frowned tightly, looking very uneasy and irritable, almost wanting to go out and tear down the annoyingly ringing wind chimes!

"Qian Yu!!!"

Panting for breath, Yu Zhen suddenly sat up straight.

It turned out to be a dream... Liu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already bright outside the window, and a ray of morning sun shone in through the window, shining on the two bowls on the table that had been completely cooled and could no longer be eaten.

They didn't come back all night...

Zhen Zhen who was waiting, because she had been tossed so hard the night before, stood for another day and then went to the kitchen for a long while before falling asleep on the table unconsciously.

Its daybreak.

His birthday has also come.

Suddenly there was a muffled creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow outside the courtyard, and those footsteps seemed to be in a hurry.

Thinking that maybe Gan Yu and the others were in a hurry to get back, they got up quickly, their legs were a little numb after sitting all night, and then they walked quickly to the door, and then suddenly slowed down after putting their hands on the door Slowing down her breathing, she adjusted her somewhat excited and expectant expression, and after slowly opening the door, Yu Zhen lifted her feet and walked out unhurriedly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching the gate of the courtyard, Zhen Zhen, who was standing in the corridor, hastily confirmed his state, and made sure that he was showing a calm look that was somewhat angry but not expecting.

"Squeak-"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and the person who pushed the door seemed very anxious. The sound of the door panel hitting the courtyard wall made Ying Zhen slightly frowned, thinking of dissatisfaction and going up.

"Daddy—"

The person who came made a sound, but looked at the grown-up Bai Di.

When Bai Di first transformed into a human form, he always followed Yuzhen and called him father, which made Yuzhen very dissatisfied. After all, it was too sudden that he wanted to be the father of such a big son at a young age, which once made Yuzhen have a child. The idea of ​​finding a place to throw Bai Di back.

Gan Yu was very gentle about this, he reached out his hand and touched Bai Di's head like a loving mother, and said with some interest: "Good boy, call me father."

And Bai Di, who had just changed his form, looked at Gan Yu with some hesitation, and then at Qian Zhen who was drinking tea at the table, tilted his head and said with some doubts: "Call him dad, shouldn't you call your mother— -Father!"

Gan Yu listened to the little fox who changed his words for a second, and finally withdrew his warning eyes in satisfaction, and then smiled gently: "Good boy!"

Yu Zhen was filled with this sweet father's voice every day, coupled with Gan Yu's persuasion from time to time, finally accepted this title, so Bai Di kept calling like this.

Now Bai Di's tone did not have the usual sweetness, but seemed a little heavy, hesitant and sad.

Xie Zhen frowned, and asked as if he hadn't seen it: "Why are you coming back now? Where did you go wild with your father?"

After hearing this, Bai Di didn't answer, and after a long while, he whispered softly with some sobs: "Father, father... he—"

Suddenly Zhen Zhen felt a little flustered and a little out of breath, so he snapped and said, "What's wrong with your father? You've learned how to stay out at night, right? Let's see how long he plans to kneel outside after he comes back! "

Even though Yuzhen wanted to avoid it all the time, in the end she had to hear Bai Di's choked-up words.

He said: "My father and I were going to prepare a birthday gift. My father made you a gift, but there was one thing missing. My father said that only the devil world has it. We thought it would only take half a day to go back and forth from the entrance of the devil world. After taking it It can still be in time for your birthday. However, when I arrived at the entrance of the demon world, my father said that my demon power is shallow, and asked me to wait for him at the entrance, and he would come out after taking something."

"But I waited at the entrance of the Demon Realm for a day and midnight, but nothing came. I tried to open the enchantment at the entrance of the Demon Realm, but my mana was low and I couldn't open it at all."

"Demon Realm..."

Ji Zhen said in a slightly dazed voice.

After getting Bai Dimeng's nod of affirmation, Xie Zhenmeng came back to his senses, turned around and walked into the house.

Seeing the person who was walking towards the house in a hurry, Bai Di was a little anxious, afraid that his father would ignore him if he got angry, and also afraid that his father would go back to the house to take that thin bamboo branch so he could clean up after he saw someone.

Bai Di hesitated and hesitated, not knowing whether he should persuade him at this time or find someone first and then discuss the matter of punishment.

As for why he thought of this?

Don't ask him!Ask even if he doesn't know!

After returning to the room, Xi Zhen opened the box in the corner, and saw a long sword lying quietly inside, the scabbard was carved with hollow phoenix patterns in white.

Ji Zhen looked at the sword and paused, then quickly reached out to pick it up, went to the dark compartment next to the dressing table, took something, then turned and walked out.

Bai Di watched his father come out of the house with a stern face holding a sword, then walked out without saying a word, quickly shut his mouth and obediently followed behind.

No matter what father used the sword for, he didn't want the sword to be used on himself in the first place!

Yu Zhen was dressed in white, and the phoenix embroidered with gold silk on it gradually moved away with the cold wind, and soon left the invisible bamboo house in the distance behind him.
