It turns out that I too have been robbed.

If he had promised, Pei Ruzhou would certainly not break his promise.This time Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili didn't go anywhere, the two of them stayed in the day orchid pass and spent the spring and summer like this.

Maybe it's because he's old enough, Pei Yufeng no longer has curiosity about some things, or he knows he doesn't need to ask any more.

He didn't ask who Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili were, let alone what they were doing here, and of course he didn't ask what the relationship between Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili was.

In order to keep a low profile, Pei Yufeng found a small courtyard for Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili in the outskirts of Zhoulan Pass.He originally thought that the two of them would dislike such a plain and simple house, but he didn't expect that Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili seemed very happy.

In this summer, Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili lived on the outskirts of Zhoulan Pass. Sometimes he would go back home with Pei Yufeng to sweep the yard, and sometimes he would ride a horse on the grassland inside the pass.

Even Pei Ruzhou once led Qi Baili to follow the caravan towards the Western Regions.

They have never used spiritual power, as if they have really become mortals, and their lives are extremely simple.

In midsummer, the grasslands and aquatic plants in Daylan Pass are extremely abundant.In some places farther from the city, the grass there has reached the belly of the horse.

If there are still some children on the outskirts of the city who can ride horses, then in the depths of the grassland, there is no one there.

On this day, Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili came here on horseback.

When they got here, the red sun had gradually set in the west, and the clouds in the sky were reflected in pink and purple.And the grass on the ground swayed slightly with the wind, looking like green waves, extremely gentle.

Today Pei Ruzhou was wearing a dark red dress, and his long hair was combed into a high ponytail behind his head.His brows and eyes are full of heroism, at first glance they are extremely bright, and they seem to be no different from the Pei Ruzhou that Qi Baili knew when he entered the palace just now.

The days at Zhoulanguan changed Pei Ruzhou. Back to the place where he lived as a child, Pei Ruzhou seemed to have really forgotten his troubles and returned to the carefree boyhood.

Pei Ruzhou rode a fast horse and headed towards the depths of the grassland.

Qi Baili just followed behind him slowly, looking at Pei Ruzhou's back.It was the time of sunset, and the hot and dry air in the daytime gradually cooled down as the sun went down.

The breeze was blowing from nowhere, bringing with it the smell of fresh earth and grass.Seeing Pei Ruzhou's red back almost disappearing on the other side of the grassland, Qi Baili couldn't help squinting his eyes and smiling.

Just when he was about to ride his horse and head towards Pei Ruzhou, he saw that the other party suddenly turned around and came towards him—in Pei Ruzhou's hand was still holding a berry that he didn't know where he picked it.

With a groan, Pei Ruzhou, who was riding a fine gray-white horse, stopped in front of Qi Baili.

"I remember when I was a child, this fruit grew a lot next to the barracks. I often picked it and ate it. Would you like to try it?" Pei Ruzhou approached Qi Baili on horseback, and then handed out what was in his hand.

He slowly opened his palm, only to see a few dark red berries lying quietly on Pei Ruzhou's palm.Pei Ruzhou actually didn't know the name of this fruit, but the sweet and sour taste of this fruit always appeared in his memory when he was a child.

Pei Ruzhou didn't know that at this moment, his eyes were also illuminated by the pink-purple sunset glow, and they shone with gentle light, which was more dazzling than the sun in Qi Baili's eyes.

Seeing Pei Ruzhou appearing in front of him with a smile on his face, Qi Baili couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand belatedly, wanting to take the berry from Pei Ruzhou's hand.

However, at this moment, a sudden accident happened.

The horses that Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili rode were all bought from Zhoulan Pass.Although it can be regarded as one of the best horses in ten thousand, compared with Pei Ruzhou's former Xuezhe, it is not enough.

Just when Pei Ruzhou approached Qi Baili, the horse he was riding suddenly jumped twice in place.After all, Pei Ruzhou was a general who returned from the battlefield, and he could control even the horses—but that was when he was concentrating.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou's attention was all on the berries in his hand.

The two horses collided, and then the gray-white horse jumped a few steps in place, and then suddenly ran towards the other side.

"Be careful!" Unlike Pei Ruzhou who was focusing on the berries in his hand, Qi Baili kept looking at Pei Ruzhou, so he immediately noticed the abnormality of Pei Ruzhou's horse.

At the same time as saying these two words, Qi Baili also stretched out his hand, firmly grabbed Pei Ruzhou's wrist, and pulled him towards his direction.

It was also at this moment that the frightened horse that Pei Ruzhou was riding galloped forward quickly, and Qi Baili also used this strength to pull Pei Ruzhou to his body.

But in just a split second, Pei Ruzhou's gaze changed, and he felt a warmth behind him...he was leaning against Qi Baili's chest!

The two horses bumped into each other just now, and the movement range of the two of them was a little too big just now, not only Pei Ruzhou's gray-white horse, but even the black horse Qi Baili was riding were also frightened to a certain extent.I saw the horse snorted, and then galloped forward quickly.

Obviously they are both supernatural beings, but at this moment, Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili forgot to use their spiritual power.

Pei Ruzhou subconsciously grasped Qi Baili's wrist, and the picture in front of him continued to flow backwards as the horse galloped.The summer night wind also blew over, but the wind was gentle.

Pei Ruzhou smelled that besides the smell of green grass, there was also a sweet and sour berry smell on the tip of his nose.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, accompanied by the evening wind, his long hair was gently brushed against Qi Baili's cheek.

This feeling is itchy and somewhat ambiguous.

The same smell also spread to the tip of Qi Baili's nose, he couldn't help but look down, and saw - Pei Ruzhou's earlobe turned red at some point.

It seems to be dyed by the sunset.

At this moment, Qi Baili's heart jumped up, he was nervous for no reason, and then he clenched the rein in his hand.

"Ruzhou..." Qi Baili couldn't help calling Pei Ruzhou's name at this moment.

He gripped the rein, but didn't pull it to bring the horse to a halt.

So at this moment, Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili still had the scenery passing by in front of their eyes, and the whistling wind was in their ears.

Originally, Qi Baili's words should have been blown away by the wind, but they still clearly reached Pei Ruzhou's ears.

"Huh?" He couldn't help looking back slightly and asked, "What's wrong."

At this moment, the eyes of Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili collided.

Qi Baili saw——Pei Ruzhou's cheeks were a little reddish by the afterglow of the sunset, his eyes were so bright, and a bit of broken hair fell on his cheeks with the wind.

At the same time, the two subconsciously slowed down their breathing rhythm, and Pei Ruzhou realized after a while that the distance between himself and Qi Baili was too close.

Such a distance made him unable to help but think of that... that time by the Styx River.

The protoss are born with a superb memory, and the incident that year was deeply seared into Pei Ruzhou's heart, not to mention that not long ago, he had just "reviewed" it when he was in the human world.

Pei Ruzhou just kept trying to keep that memory, that unprecedented accident in his life buried in his heart.

But at this moment, when the eyes of the two collided, the memories that Pei Ruzhou had suppressed in his heart and wanted to ignore suddenly surged up.

Breathing, body temperature, everything is as clear as if it happened just yesterday.

Pei Ruzhou's eyes suddenly became flustered, he bit his lip subconsciously, and wanted to turn around.But he didn't expect it, as if he had guessed what he was going to do, before Pei Ruzhou could turn around, Qi Baili, who was sitting behind him, suddenly called out his name softly again.

"Ru Zhou." This time Qi Baili's voice was so small that Pei Ru Zhou almost didn't hear it.

The moment he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, and put his lips next to Pei Ruzhou's ear.

As a result, those words became like filaments, slipped in from Pei Ruzhou's ears, and then entwined around his limbs.The numbness and itching continued to spread, and Pei Ruzhou even forgot to move for a moment.

"...Hmm." He could only subconsciously make a nasal sound, which should be regarded as a response.

Pei Ruzhou thought that this would be the end of it, but his mind was in a mess, he didn't expect that Qi Baili suddenly approached.

——This kind of feeling reminded him of the oppressive feeling when he was shrouded in black mist in his early years.At that time, Qi Baili had just been sealed in Styx by himself, and he would often surround Pei Ruzhou with turbid air, making Pei Ruzhou unhappy.

At that time, Pei Ruzhou would always fight back.

But now, Qi Baili obviously didn't use any spiritual power, but his sense of depression was not less.

He even held his breath.

Just waiting for the next moment, Qi Baili smiled slightly at Pei Ruzhou.

Then in the wind, he just planted a kiss on Pei Ruzhou's cheek...

It felt light, like a gust of night wind blowing over.Pei Ruzhou froze for a moment, another gust of wind blew from behind, and a lock of Qi Baili's long hair was picked up by the evening wind, caressing towards Pei Ruzhou, blocking his sight.

In a trance, Pei Ruzhou could only see that Qi Baili's ears turned reddish as if infected by himself.

Would Qi Baili be embarrassed?Is this still him?

At the moment when the wind stopped, the black steed also turned and looked in the direction of Zhoulan Pass.

The last ray of afterglow illuminated the day orchid pass, and Pei Ruzhou saw—over the high city wall, at some point, the Populus euphratica in the day orchid pass had turned slightly yellow.

Autumn is coming.

But at this time, he didn't want to go back to the Netherworld.

Pei Ruzhou really wanted to travel around all corners of the world with Qi Baili.

As if he knew what was going on in his heart, at the moment he pulled up the rein and walked forward, Pei Ruzhou heard Qi Baili suddenly and softly recite a passage that both of them were familiar with and couldn't be more familiar with.

"Nine years of Yongsheng, the world is peaceful, and I decided to visit famous mountains and rivers..."

It is a quotation from "Yi Shui Jun Jing"!

Pei Ruzhou's thoughts were suddenly brought back to the day many years ago when he secretly showed Qi Baili a book in the hall.

Then Pei Ruzhou heard that Qi Baili said: "Ruzhou was going to be my master back then and teach me the "Yi Shui Jun Jing". Although I can memorize this book now, I haven't been lucky enough to go anywhere in the book."

The last sliver of setting sun disappeared, and it seemed that only Qi Baili's voice was left in Pei Ruzhou's world.

"Nowadays the world is peaceful, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet with you like the day to search for famous mountains and great rivers?"

Not only the mundane world, but also everywhere in the Three Realms. Life is long, and he wants to travel all over with Pei Ruzhou.

This is true every year.
