ecstasy

Seeing that Ning Shiting agreed, Gu Tingshuang took it to heart.

One afternoon, he watched Ning Shiting busy in the Xiangge, first he put another bowl of blood as a backup for soul-returning incense, and then Fen Lu came to listen to him preaching about incense, and then the two of them sat down to eat.

Gu Tingshuang still ate few delicate side dishes.The psionic energy he obtained through spiritual practice is enough to maintain his daily operations, but he is not very clear why he still spends this time eating.

He felt that he simply liked the process of eating something.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Human desires need to be suppressed, but they cannot be eliminated. Once eliminated, the restraint and balance made for it will be meaningless, and he will lose the nature that a wolf should have.

He watched Ning Shiting eat.It is also very gentle, with delicate movements of picking vegetables, and slow chewing, and because the left hand is not very good, it is a bit clumsy.

Gu Tingshuang glanced at him, lowered his head to take a bite, then put down his chopsticks, and looked at him again.

Ning Shiting asked him: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Gu Tingshuang held back for a while: "It's nothing."

He didn't ask Ning Shiting when he could start making Jiuzhen Hebei for him, he would not urge him directly.

With Ning Shiting's temper, probably he can't speak without counting?

After thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm going to practice."

Ning Shiting said: "Well, I will write a memorial later, and when Huaqiu brings the high-quality fairy walnuts I want, I will start making Jiuzhen Hebei for you."

When he suddenly mentioned this, Gu Tingshuang paused for a moment, then turned to look at him again, not knowing what to say for a moment, but just froze for a moment.

Ning Shiting was also at this moment, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, very gentle.He didn't say anything, but Gu Tingshuang also vaguely understood the meaning, and felt a little annoyed and ashamed, so he put down his chopsticks and left.

After sunset, Ning Shiting stayed in the room, while Gu Tingshuang went to practice in front of the hall.

He gradually realized that although the courtyard outside the Xiangge was not as large as the Shizi Mansion, it was still a good place to practice.Probably because he knew that Ning Shiting was mixing incense under one side of the window, and he could be seen when he raised his eyes, so he always wanted to show him.

At first he felt impatient, this kind of staring was like surveillance, but later he found that Ning Shiting basically lowered his head to adjust the fragrance and never raised his head to look at him, so he would deliberately make some noise.Sometimes it is to manipulate the body of the little wolf to climb up the tree, scaring away the birds in Kazuki, and the ginkgo leaves shaking all over the head are scattered one after another.

That time Ning Shiting heard the movement and took a look outside.

Gu Tingshuang always remembers the look in his eyes at that time. The way he looked out was like a bird twisting its neck and stepping out of the air in early spring. It was clear and unintentional. The leaves of the ginkgo tree infected by the incense of resurgence fell down, dyeing people's eyebrows and eyes into gold and white almost like gods, and the edge of the eyelashes seemed to be stained with golden fine velvet, or an unknown watery light.

And what should he look like when he saw him through the window?

He looked back at the past with the eyes of a little wolf. The young man was sitting in a wheelchair, his back straight as if hiding a sword, and he looked majestic and beautiful.The sun that dyed Ning Shiting golden also shone on him at the same time

He is almost fifteen, but he is still dissatisfied with his childishness, he wants to grow into an adult quickly.

This kind of thought came to him when he was very young, every time, every moonlit night, he woke up from his sleep and saw his mother wiping her dowry by the window under the moonlight .

He knew who his mother was missing, but he never said it, and she never said it.

When he was so young, he already had a wish: Since there is no man in this family, he must grow up earlier so that he can shoulder the responsibilities that the owner of this family once lacked.

This wish has not been mentioned by him for many years after the princess passed away.He doesn't have any references, and he no longer has any attachments in the world, so that he needs to grow into an adult early, and he is also surprised that he has such an idea at this moment:

If only he was 17 years old like Ning Shiting.

Ning Shiting is a very contradictory person, even though he is still young next year, he always has the feeling of being up and down in the world for many years.

Gu Tingshuang's feeling has never been wrong, and Ning Shiting's indifference and maturity definitely do not come from occasional pretentious gestures, it is engraved in his bones, and comes from a certain period of unknown years that he has actually experienced.

Gu Tingshuang felt that he was handsome and beautiful under the sun, and when he followed him to look at him, he found that Ning Shiting was also looking at him, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

With the eyes of a little wolf, he saw that Ning Shiting was also looking at him.

Ning Shiting didn't know where his spiritual consciousness was, and he didn't seem to notice that the young man in the wheelchair had turned into a still body, and his eyes were very curious.

The scene where the strange autumn scenery and winter snow are mixed together, half of the courtyard is green and half is golden, and the wind is rustling.

The courtyard was so quiet that the sound of flowing smoke could be heard, the backflow of incense slowly dripped, and then there was a clatter outside, a silver wolf with golden front paws rolled down from the treetops, and fell directly to the ground.

Following this earth-shattering sound, Ning Shiting's laughter also floated out: "Why did you fall down again?"

He stretched out his hand for a moment and then put it down again, because he remembered that the white wolf in Lingshan didn't fall so hard. The last time the little wolf fell directly from the top of such a tall tree onto the jade steps, there was no problem, and now Gu Ting Frost is still outside.

Gu Tingshuang withdrew his spiritual consciousness and returned to his body in an instant, looked back at Ning Shiting, and said calmly, "It's okay."

The little wolf spun around at his feet, fell badly, and walked crookedly. He picked it up with one hand, grabbed the nape of his neck, put it on his knee, and patted it, then slammed it against the window behind him.

"Don't bother me here, go and play with him."

Seeing that he was about to be thrown against the wall, the little wolf grabbed the window sill very quickly, and after howling aggrievedly, he happily slipped into Ning Shiting's arms.

Ning Shiting was suddenly entrusted with an important task, he didn't say anything, he just smiled and hugged the little wolf and petted it, then let it climb onto his shoulders, and started to play with his hair with its paws.

He didn't go out, and his attire became lighter, his hair was loosely tied with a dark green hair band, and for convenience when making incense, a Liuyun hairpin was pinned to his ear to hold his hair.

Now the little wolf saw that the Liuyun hairpin was shiny and beautiful, so he slapped it down with one paw, and Ning Shiting's hair fell down, loosely falling to his chest.

Immediately the little wolf jumped to the ground again and began to play with his hairpin.

"You don't have to get used to it like this." Gu Tingshuang's voice came from outside the window.

Ning Shiting looked at Little Wolf, then at Gu Tingshuang.

Gu Tingshuang turned her face away, turned the wheelchair in the same direction, and turned her back to him, preventing him from seeing his expression.

Ning Shiting said with a smile: "Okay, next time I will beat it."

The little wolf shook its fur, and even it could hear the pampering and tenderness in Ning Shiting's words, and became more confident, and climbed up Ning Shiting's shoulder again with the jade hairpin in its mouth.

In the evening, Ning Shiting started to make Jiuzhen Hebei. First, he dried the walnuts and ground them into powder, and then roasted them with a dark fire.

It was getting dark, and Gu Tingshuang also moved from outside to inside, holding a volume of books in his hand, sitting on one side of the table reading, while Ning Shiting was slowly grinding walnut powder on the other side.

Since this was something to be eaten, Ning Shiting wore gloves as usual and slowly ground it.

But the silver pestle in Prince Qing's Mansion was too smooth. He was wearing Luo Shuiwu's gloves, and he would slide down from time to time, and the walnut pestle would also fly out several times.

He seemed to be used to this as well, he didn't make a sound, and his expression didn't change much, he only patted the little wolf's head with his wrist when it helped him retrieve it.

Gu Tingshuang put down the book in his hand and asked, "I want to read the book of strange flowers, did you bring it here?"

He was talking about a book that Ning Shiting had mentioned before.

Ning Shiting said: "Your Highness, go and find it yourself. I'll have someone put it on the bookshelf inside. The first one you look up is the first one."

Gu Tingshuang went to the room by himself and brought the book.

Holding the book in his arms, when he passed behind Ning Shiting, his movements froze slightly.By coincidence, he looked at Ning Shi's graceful and elegant back, and suddenly felt a desire to destroy it. Before he had time to think clearly, he stretched out his hand—from top to bottom, wanting to be the same as last time, Straight to his neck.

But he was held gently by one hand.

Ning Shiting didn't look back, like a gust of wind, he blocked his blow with one hand.The slender white fingers spread out, and through the thin Luoshui mist, they rested on Gu Tingshuang's fingertips coolly, and clasped his wrist.

This seemed ordinary, but Ning Shiting's reaction and swiftness in that moment were not even inferior to listening to a book!

Gu Tingshuang was stunned: "You..."

Ning Shiting let go of his hands, and stretched his waist along the way: "Your Highness, before you practice, at least you should tell me. The walnuts I have been pounding for so long, it would be a pity if they got scattered."

Gu Tingshuang withdrew her hand resentfully: "You know everything."

There was no anger in Ning Shiting's voice, but he smiled with interest: "I knew it last time, Your Highness is very skilled."

"Then what you said about practicing with me, does it count?" Gu Tingshuang didn't shy away from being exposed, but instead asked him with great interest.

Ning Shiting said, "Nature counts."

He turned his head and smiled at him, his eyes sparkling brightly under the candlelight, "When Your Highness can make me dizzy again, it will be considered His Highness's first step."

"Stop talking to me like a master." Gu Tingshuang said, "If I can do it, will you promise me a condition?"

Ning Shiting laughed again: "Your Highness, has anyone ever told you that every time you speak, you can't listen to the first half of the sentence, because it must not be a good word, only the latter part counts."

Gu Tingshuang narrowed his eyes, his eyes were a bit fierce, but Ning Shiting still looked at him like this, without any sign of fear, and his smile remained undiminished.

He is not afraid of him.

In other words, he was joking with him in a very calm and intimate tone.

For some reason, even such a scene... made Gu Tingshuang feel an indescribable joy in his heart.

It was the happiness he had not seen for a long time, the happiness in the world, the happiness he had tasted of a bite of candy when he was a child, it was a disaster, it was a huge wave that swallowed people, and it even made people tremble slightly with excitement.

Gu Tingshuang: "I don't care what nonsense you are talking about, Ning Shiting, as long as I do it, you have to promise me one condition."

After Ning Shiting paused, he didn't think too much, and just said softly: "Okay."

"Then you owe me two conditions, Ning Shiting."

"When did I owe His Highness another condition?" Ning Shiting was a little surprised.

Gu Tingshuang's face remained unchanged and her heart beat: "Twice, one time you went out to find a book, and the other time you got lost in the wind and snow. Killing Su Yue this time is a trouble for you, so to cancel one of the favors, There is only one more time left in this way, you have to pay me back the favor you owe, Ning Shiting."

Ning Shiting said helplessly: "...Your Highness really knows how to do business."

"Your answer?" Gu Tingshuang stared at him.

Ning Shiting smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. How dare I refuse to follow His Highness's words."
