"Qingming, there is something I want to tell you." Fang Yueheng stroked Gu Qingming's soft hair.

"what's up?"

"I assure you, I only like you alone." Fang Yueheng recalled Ye Chen's words in his mind, he really wanted Gu Qingming to accompany him.

But the time was really too short, he felt it wasn't enough, so he had to harden his heart and said, "I was also thinking last night, you should follow Yechen to Taoist Qinghe to restore your spiritual breath."

"What? Yueheng, what are you talking about? You...you don't want me?" Gu Qingming's face suddenly turned pale. He couldn't believe that these words came from Fang Yueheng's mouth. He was still hugging me last night. Those whom he begged him to stay, are now sending him away with their own hands.

"No, it's not that I don't want you anymore." Fang Yueheng hurriedly grabbed Gu Qingming's fingers, put his forehead against his forehead and said, "Didn't I say that I only like you, and no one else can get into my eyes?" .”

"Then why do you still..." Gu Qingming stared at him blankly.

"Qingming, I like you, so I want you to survive." Fang Yueheng hugged him tightly, "If you are using your life to accompany me now, then I would rather not have such company, I want The peace and happiness of your life."

The hot breath sprayed on the side of the neck, and Gu Qingming was hugged by him tremblingly, his throat seemed to be blocked for some reason, and he couldn't speak a word.

"Qingming, Qingming." Seeing that the person in his arms hadn't answered for a long time, Fang Yueheng could only gently hold his face, which was still covered with water marks from yesterday.

"However, Yue Heng, how could I have any happiness without you and me." Gu Qingming felt pain in his heart, spreading from the tip of his tongue to his heart, and even the words he spoke had a bitter taste.

"I'll wait for you." Fang Yueheng closed his eyes, and the breeze blew past the two of them, rolling up fallen flowers all over the ground. "As long as I am alive, I will guard this yard and wait for you to come back."

"I've waited for so many days, and it's not too late." Fang Yueheng held Gu Qingming's wrist, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, "Say it's okay."

"Do you really want me to go?" Tears welled up in Gu Qingming's eyes, he couldn't bear to part with Fang Yueheng, the two had only spent a few hours together before facing parting again.

When Gu Qingming thought that he would not see Fang Yueheng again for several years, his heart sank to the bottom, it was broken, and he couldn't put it together anymore when he picked it up.

"I just don't want you to spend your life with me." Fang Yueheng shook his hand instead, and pulled him to sit quietly beside a lotus pond.

"But Yue Heng..." Gu Qingming bit his lower lip, "There is one more thing I haven't told you."

"One more thing?" Fang Yueheng said what was in his heart, and he was finally able to feel at ease. Even if Gu Qingming told him something big, he could face it.

"I might forget you." Gu Qingming smiled wryly, "Do you think things in the world are so easy? Once the spiritual breath is restored, all the memories saved before will be erased. When I come back, I might forget about you." is you."

Fang Yueheng's heart twitched when he heard this, and he showed a frightened expression and said, "Why, why..."

"Because I'm not a human being. When a human being dies, he is buried in the ground, and I am going to re-grow my spiritual breath."

Gu Qingming raised his frosty fingers, stroked Yue Heng's cheek inch by inch, and said in a very low voice: "I may forget your appearance, your eyebrows, the bridge of your nose, and even your kindness to me. Forget everything, become a swallow again, become a human again, would you like to?"

"Wait, Qingming..." Fang Yueheng grabbed his wrist violently, and said with a mournful expression, "Is everything you said true?"

"Yes." Gu Qingming withdrew his finger. He sat beside the lotus pond and tapped the surface of the pond with his finger. A red and white koi swam up to him. Gu Qingming seemed to be teasing the fish, but in fact With a sob in his throat, he said, "I don't want to go."

"Can you not forget me?" Fang Yueheng hugged the person back into his arms, like holding his own rare treasure, afraid that others would snatch it away, he said: "Qingming, even if you leave, don't forget me."

"You have to remember that there is Fang Yueheng waiting for you here. He has cooked hot tea at home and bought you sweet-scented osmanthus cake, waiting for you to go home."

Fang Yueheng lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't forget."

"Okay." Gu Qingming didn't know why, a tear suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Then I will go with Ye Chen's crow tomorrow."

"Okay." Fang Yueheng's dry throat could only utter such a single-syllable word.

"I must come back soon, you are not allowed to fall in love with someone else."

"No, I only like you."

"Then if I change my appearance, become ugly, or look unattractive, you mustn't dislike me and laugh at me." Gu Qingming hugged him back.

"No matter what you become, you are my Qingming." Fang Yueheng bowed his head and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Yue Heng..." Gu Qingming put his head on his chest and said, "If I can't stay there and sneak back, remember to pick me up."

"You can still sneak back." Fang Yueheng stroked his hair with a funny smile, "Okay, if you sneak back, I'll pick you up."

The two of them just sat by the lotus pond and chatted for a long time, until the sun was shining on the water of the pond, Lao Li came and shouted loudly: "Master Gu, young master, it's time to eat!"

"It's time to eat." Fang Yueheng stood up, pulled Gu Qingming up, and interlocked his fingers. Fang Yueheng smiled and said, "This is called holding your hand, growing old together."

"Hmm..." Gu Qingming nodded, his face was mostly red, he also clenched Fang Yueheng's fingers tightly, and said, "I know what you mean by that."

"Strange, how did you know?" Fang Yueheng led him into the house, "Have I told you before?"

"You told me when I was in Fangfu." Gu Qingming recalled that when he was still a swallow, Fang Yueheng would come to talk to him every night, and once mentioned that there was a little girl at the Lantern Festival When I was in bed, I secretly slipped a note to him, and there was just this sentence written on it.

"At that time, you still told me that you didn't believe this sentence, because you said that there are so many things that last forever, and the sea is dry and rocks are rotten, and you are all lying."

Gu Qingming leaned against his body, "Why do you start to believe this now?"

"That's because I haven't met you before." Fang Yueheng also remembered, he raised his finger and rubbed Gu Qingming's earlobe, "I didn't know until I met you how important it is to wait for someone."

"Qingming, I only like you in my life."

In the warm courtyard, the two had lunch together, as if they had arrived at the most leisure time in their lives ahead of schedule.

Gu Qingming liked this kind of time very much at that time. He vaguely remembered that when he was in Xuzhou, no matter how busy he was, Fang Yueheng would at least come back to have a meal with him.

At that time, he still seemed very reserved and a little embarrassed, so Fang Yueheng always laughed at him later on, laughing at him for hiding everything in his heart, if he really didn't take the initiative to kiss him that time, wouldn't he never kiss him for the rest of his life? Are you going to say it?

Gu Qingming said quietly in his heart, no, I will always be with you, waiting for the day you like me.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance of a pool is blown away, and the fragrance is sent into the house, which is refreshing.

Fang Yueheng was sitting in front of the bed, and found a cattail fan to fan Gu Qingming.

There was a book on his lap, and Fang Yueheng would always flip through a few pages when he had nothing to do. Occasionally, he saw Gu Qingming fiddle with something interesting by the bedside, so he leaned over and messed around with him.

They also know that this kind of time is not much, so they will cherish it.

"Daozhang, I'm back." A deep and good voice came from the cold cave.

Daoist Qinghe was healing a wounded little fox. When he saw Ye Chen rushing back in a black robe, he knew that he hadn't brought Gu Qingming back, but he wasn't too surprised. He just stroked his beard and said: " Is it the little swallow who refuses to leave, or the young master of the Fang family who refuses to let him go?"

"They're not the same, they just don't want to be separated anyway." Ye Chen sat down and touched the little fox's furry ears. Daoist Qinghe looked at it and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, this little fox quite likes you."

"If it knew that I was a crow, it would probably eat me." Yechen stroked the little fox's big tail, changed the subject and continued, "I made an agreement with Fang Yueheng, and I will go there again tomorrow. Let's see if Gu Qingming will follow me."

"Whether the little swallow will go or not is actually not up to us." Daoist Qinghe picked up the fox and smoothed its fur, "It depends on whether Fang Yueheng can persuade him, otherwise the two of them will not be able to do so in the end." It's a small matter together, but if Gu Qingming loses his life, it's a big problem."

Ye Chen was silent after hearing this, and then said after a long while: "It's my fault."

"Forget it, if you are willing to help Gu Qingming now, it shows that your nature is not bad."

Daoist Qinghe let go of his hand, and the little fox ran straight into his arms and ran out of the cave.

"By the way, your mother's soul has almost been formed, and it is estimated that she will be able to exist in the state of a spirit again after a while."

"Really?" Yechen stood up suddenly, with joy in his eyes, "I can, can I see my mother?"

"Yes, but we have to wait for a while." Daoist Qinghe smiled gently, "Yechen, when you go tomorrow, remember to bring Fang Yueheng's wooden box with you."

"Wooden box?" Yechen frowned suspiciously.

"It's the box that keeps Gu Qingming's real body." Daoist Qinghe smiled and said, "It will be of great use in the future."
