a man who appears once a year

When Ruan Qiuping and Ruan Shengfeng put on the table the eight-course dish that was well-proportioned and very luxurious for his family, Yu Huan and his parents came.

To Ruan Qiuping's surprise, Yu Huan was still wearing that suit, instead of changing into a more formal traditional dress.

After taking his seat, Ruan Qiuping asked in a low voice, "Your outfit... didn't your mother ask you anything?"

After all, Jishen has been wearing long-haired robes for more than 200 years, which is exactly the same as the standard fairy costume in the picture book. This sudden change of costume will inevitably make people confused.

"I asked." Yu Huan said.

"Then what do you say?"

"I said Ruan Ruan picked out the clothes for me."

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

Ruan Qiuping raised his head and found Yu's mother who was sitting opposite was smiling at him, the expression on her face seemed to be a little more loving.

Although this meal was Xia Fushui's birthday banquet, it was actually the first official meeting between the two families after they got engaged.

Therefore, the Yu family gave Xia Fushui a gift, congratulated her, and after saying a few polite words, they began to talk about the marriage.

They discussed in great detail, not to mention how many dishes were on a table at the wedding banquet, Xia Fushui and Yu's mother discussed the cloth of the tablecloth for the table.

Ruan Qiuping was almost sleepy, but the more they chatted, the more excited they became.

Just when Ruan Qiuping was trying to suppress a yawn, Ruan Shengfeng patted Ruan Qiuping's shoulder and said, "Qiuping! Go and bury my altar under the tree in the backyard for 20 years... No! Go and bury that altar. Dig out the wine that has been buried for 300 years!"

Ruan Qiuping's drowsiness flew away immediately, looking at Ruan Shengfeng's hand that just patted his shoulder, he was stunned.

Father Yu smiled and said, "Actually, 20 years of wine is enough."

"No, no, no!" Ruan Shengfeng waved his hands, and said with a magnanimous expression, "Today is such a good day, it must be paired with the best wine!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ruan Qiuping again: "Son, don't be stunned, go quickly!"

Yu Huan took Ruan Qiuping's hand and stood up: "I'll go with him."

Mother Yu looked at the two of them holding hands, the smile on her face never stopped from the beginning to the end.

Being led by Yu Huan all the way to the backyard, Ruan Qiuping seemed to have finally woken up from a dream.

Stopped under the big tree in the backyard, Ruan Qiuping looked up at Yu Huan, his eyes were dark and bright: "Yu Huan, did you see it just now? My dad just patted my shoulder, it's that kind of natural, special He casually tapped me on the shoulder."

Yu Huan's heart tensed for a while, but there was still a smile on his face: "Well, I saw it."

Ruan Qiuping's smile became brighter, and he said almost triumphantly: "Actually, my mother touched me today, and she didn't just touch me normally, she touched my head."

Ruan Qiuping also stretched out his hand and stroked Yu Huan's hair, as if demonstrating to him: "It's like this, she touched my head very lightly...but my mother's hands are much softer than mine. , like flower petals."

Ruan Qiuping smiled so happily, his eyebrows were beaming, his whole face became alive, as if he was sharing a great event with Yu Huan.

A soreness surged in Yu Huan's heart, he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Ruan Qiuping into his arms.

Yu Huan originally thought that Ruan Qiuping would push him away, but Ruan Qiuping stretched out his hand and hugged Yu Huan tightly.

Yu Huan felt his heart beating fast.

Ruan Qiuping gently rested his head on Yu Huan's shoulder, and his soft hair brushed against the skin of Yu Huan's neck. He closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Yu Huan, I'm so happy."

Ruan Qiuping was really happy, so happy that he even felt that hugging was not enough to fully share his joy with Yu Huan. At this moment, he almost wanted to raise his head to kiss Yu Huan.

You can kiss on the mouth, you can kiss on the chin.

But he endured it, rubbed his cheek against Yu Huan's shoulder lightly, and continued: "It's all because of your good luck charm, thank you."

"Why are you so slow, did you not find it..." Ruan Shengfeng's angry voice suddenly came, and then stopped abruptly.

Ruan Qiuping was shocked and pushed Yu Huan away!

When he turned his head to look at Ruan Shengfeng again, he saw Ruan Shengfeng lowered his head and muttered something, then turned and hurried away.

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

...Wait, we didn't do anything, why am I so nervous?

Just a hug, that's normal.

Ruan Qiuping turned his head and looked at Yu Huan with some embarrassment.

Yu Huan staggered just now when he was pushed, he was stretching out his hand to support the tree behind him, looking at him quietly.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a little guilty: "...well, I'm afraid my dad might misunderstand."

"What is the misunderstanding?" Yu Huan asked.

Ruan Qiuping blinked.

Yes, what is the misunderstanding?

They are soon-to-be married couples, a relationship that should be taken for granted no matter what they do.

Ruan Qiuping touched his nose and said, "...I'd better get the bar quickly, my dad is here to urge you."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after Ruan Qiuping came back, he found that Ruan Shengfeng looked at Yu Huan with a strange expression.

"By the way." Xia Fushui asked, "Where will these two children live after they get married?"

Because there are rumors outside that Jishen doesn't seem to like sticking to his family, as if he has another residence elsewhere.

Mother Yu smiled: "These are all up to the children themselves, as long as they feel comfortable, they can live anywhere."

Yu Huan put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Xia Fushui, and sat upright: "Auntie, the Heavenly Court Conferred a new mansion for me, the location happens to be between the Yu family and the Ruan family, I plan to live there with Ruan Ruan after marriage .”

Ruan Qiuping asked subconsciously: "Don't you live in your cave?"

Yu Huan: "That place is too small."

Ruan Qiuping thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, there is only one single bed."

The air was inexplicably quiet for a moment.

Father Yu glanced at Yu Huan and Ruan Qiuping thoughtfully, and there was a flash of expression on his face.

What Ruan Qiuping wanted to say was that there was only one bed.

But hearing it from other people's ears, Ruan Qiuping disliked that Yu Huan's bed was too small.

However, under what circumstances would you dislike the small size of the bed?

Yu's mother broke the silence with a smile: "It seems that Yu Huan really likes Qiuping. Neither his father nor I know where his residence is. It is probably because he has never taken anyone there except Qiuping."

Ruan Shengfeng pouted.

Ruan Shengfeng originally thought that Jishen was an outstanding figure in the entire Heavenly Court, but now he felt that this Jishen was too deceitful. He had just returned from the mortal world for a few days, and he deceived his son...

Although they were getting married soon, Ruan Shengfeng couldn't care about this kind of thing, but it didn't prevent him from feeling unhappy.

Thinking of this, he silently picked up the wine jar, going to pour wine for Yu Huan.

Yu Huan respectfully raised his wine glass.

Ruan Shengfeng bypassed the wine glass in Yu Huan's hand, and poured the wine into the empty bowl next to him.

"This hundred-year-old wine is only enjoyable if you drink it in large swigs." Ruan Shengfeng said in a deep voice.

Yu Huan was silent for a while, picked up the bowl, respected Ruan Shengfeng, and then drank the wine down.

"That's right, come again!" Ruan Shengfeng ruthlessly poured the wine again.

Ruan Qiuping's eyelids twitched, and he whispered in Yu Huan's ear, "If you can't, just pretend to be dizzy."

Yu Huan was also very obedient, and after drinking half of the second bowl of wine, he tilted his head on the table.

Ruan Shengfeng frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yu Huan's drinking capacity: "Why did you get drunk so quickly, at least you have to finish the half bowl! This is such a rare good wine, the remaining half is too wasteful Already!"

Ruan Qiuping sighed, picked up the half bowl of wine left on the table and drank it.

He put the empty bowl on the table and said to Ruan Shengfeng, "Dad, look, there is no waste."

This wine was brewed 300 years ago. At that time, the Ruan family was still rich. The wine was made with the best materials.

Ruan Qiuping felt dizzy after half a bowl.

Ruan Shengfeng snorted coldly, his son isn't married yet, why did he turn his elbow out? !

Ruan Qiuping rubbed his dizzy head, then helped Yu Huan on the table: "I'll send him back first."

Ruan Shengfeng frowned, and emphasized in a rough voice: "Come back soon!"

Ruan Qiuping nodded, greeted Yu's father and Yu's mother, and immediately used magic to bring Yu Huan into the cave.

"It's here, no need to pretend." Ruan Qiuping said.

But the people around him remained silent.

Ruan Qiuping frowned and looked down, only to find that Yu Huan's face was as red as a fire—is he really drunk?

Ruan Qiuping sighed and had no choice but to help Yu Huan onto the bed.

Yu Huan frowned and muttered something, as if he tugged on his tie a little hotly.

Ruan Qiuping leaned over and helped him untie his tie.

After untiing his tie, Ruan Qiuping felt that it would be inconvenient for Yu Huan to fall asleep like this, so he also took off his coat.

But Yu Huan immediately went to pull the buttons of his shirt again.

Ruan Qiuping thought for a while, then took off his shirt, and finally helped him take off his pants.

Forget it, just take it off, it's not like I haven't seen it before.It is more important for Yu Huan to sleep comfortably.

But just as Ruan Qiuping took off Yu Huan's pants, his gaze involuntarily fell on Yu Huan's right leg.

It was a healthy, slender right leg.

Ruan Qiuping lightly touched it with his fingertips.

is warm.

What was once cold metal is now warm skin.

Ruan Qiu put his hands on it, and seemed to be able to feel the blood flowing inside.

The warmth of Yu Huan's body passed along Ruan Qiuping's palm, and that warmth seemed to stimulate the alcohol in his body, making him dizzy even more.

Ruan Qiuping rubbed his temple with the other hand, he closed his eyes, trying to wake himself up a little.

But once the eyes are closed, it is difficult to open them.

Drunkness came together with sleepiness, and after 3 minutes, Ruan Qiuping's entire state became the same as sleepwalking.

When the brain can't think, his body obeys his inner thoughts very much.So he kicked off his shoes, curled up, and hugged Yu Huan's right leg tightly.

Then he put his warm cheek on Yu Huan's right leg, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Although the single bed wasn't big enough, it was long enough to accommodate Ruan Qiuping's weird sleeping position and let him sleep extraordinarily peacefully.

Ruan Qiuping had a rare dream.

In the dream, it seemed to return to when Yu Huan was in his thirties.

He walked into Guanchen Gate as usual, and went down to find Yu Huan.

Yu Huan also ran towards him as usual.

But unlike usual, Yu Huan's right leg is in good condition.

Yu Huan's right leg is fine, so Yu Huan took him to participate in the marathon. Yu Huan ran very well. Crossed the finish line side by side.

Yu Huan's right leg is fine, so he didn't use a cane at home, and he didn't limp when he walked, and he could easily be picked up and walked from the garden to the bedroom.

Yu Huan's right leg is in good condition, so when he lays on Ruan Qiuping's body at night, he doesn't have to worry about whether the bent metal knee will accidentally hurt Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping also fell asleep in his dream, and when he fell asleep, he and Yu Huan hugged each other tightly, with their legs crossed.

This dream is too real and too beautiful.

So much so that when Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes, he thought he was still in a dream.

Yu Huanchi, naked, was staring at him.

Ruan Qiuping rubbed his eyes, in a daze, he thought that Yu Huan was asking him for a good morning kiss as usual, so he crawled over from the bed and kissed Yu Huan's lips.

"Good morning, Yu Huan."

Yu Huan: "..."

Yu Huan felt that he had never been so excited this morning in his entire life.
