Burning fire

"Promise me, you won't go back on your word."

Zhou Qizun struck Zhang Jueming's heart with a mallet.

Zhou Qizun was waiting for his reply, looking at him so seriously, staring at him, as if he was the only one left in the whole world——only he could stand in front of Zhou Qizun.

"I've been alone for so many years. Since you're willing to have it, give me a proper home." Zhou Qizun smiled slightly, "Don't throw it away, okay?"

Zhang Jueming felt that he was extremely thirsty, his tongue was dry, but it was cold. The taste seemed to have just emerged from the frozen layer and was suddenly evaporated by the sun.

He pressed the tip of his tongue dryly to the root of his lower teeth, without panting: "Okay."

"Huh?" Zhou Qizun smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

Zhang Jueming loves to see him smile like this, even the corners of his eyes are smiling, bending down in a very round and comfortable way.

"Okay. I promise you." Zhang Jueming no longer recognized his own voice, and he even wondered if he was dumb again, and whether he was speaking properly.

"That's right. If we live together, we will take me with us when we die." Zhou Qizun said briskly.

Zhang Jueming had an expression of being flattered that he had won a lottery, and his eyes were shiny and moist, always shining with water.Zhou Qizun looked at it twice, his hands itched, and he used his fingertips to pull Zhang Jueming's slender black eyelashes.

"The first time I saw you face to face, I had a crush on you, especially your eyes." His rough fingertips touched Zhang Jueming's eyelids lightly, "You look good."

Zhang Jueming could be regarded as smiling, and the corner of his mouth raised a small curve timidly: "Liar."

Zhang Jueming caught Zhou Qizun's dishonest hand, put it on his lips and touched it: "At that time, you obviously thought that I was not a good person, you thought I was suspicious, and you were on guard against me."

"Oh, you're smart." Zhou Qizun clicked his tongue, "He's on guard, and he also has good feelings. Really, it's true that I think you're pretty."

Zhou Qizun was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Then did you feel particularly wronged at that time?"

Before Zhang Jueming opened his mouth, Zhou Qizun immediately added: "Tell the truth."

Zhang Jueming thought for a while, and said truthfully: "It's a lie to say nothing at all. After all, I always hoped to talk to you again. But it's not particularly wronged."

"Since it's an extravagant wish, I don't dare to realize it. At that time, I would be content to be closer to you." Zhang Jueming blinked, "It's just...people push their feet."

- "Speak a word".Just "speaking a word" is called extravagant hope.

Zhang Jueming could scratch Zhou Qizun's heart in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Qizun knew once again that he had completely confessed.

He took his hand out of Zhang Jueming's hand, and unconsciously scratched Zhang Jueming's tall nose with his fingers.The shaving was also very careful, gentle and compassionate.After shaving Zhou Qizun was a little dumbfounded—he was so tired of it at such a young age.

"...You..." Zhou Qizun sighed.

"What, what?" Zhang Jueming raised his head, and approached with an innocent face.

"...It's nothing." Zhou Qizun was embarrassed and refused to be ashamed.

He closed his eyes——Zhang Jueming is really dumb.First love is him, secret love is him, love is him.I promised him in this life, clean and beautiful.Cowardly, humble, cowardly, but lonely, he came to the world from hell for him.

This kind of food is full of vigor, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and the more you suck, the more deadly it becomes.

"Hey, by the way, I still want to ask you about the unsolved mystery." Zhou Qizun coughed and couldn't bear it without changing the subject, "You..."

"Did you steal the cherries back then?"

"No." Zhang Jueming replied obediently.This evening, whatever Zhou Qizun asked, he would definitely answer.

"Then where did you get it? You don't have the money to buy it, do you?"

"I went up the mountain to pick it for you." The voice was a little softer.

"No wonder it's so sweet, it turned out to be wild cherries."

"Do you still eat if you suspect that I stole money?" Zhang Jueming deliberately turned him off.

Zhou Qizun said carelessly: "I gave you one, the stolen goods are incomplete, the cherries are innocent, don't eat them and wait to rot? If it is really found out that you stole it, I will make it up for you." .”

"Unreasonable." Zhang Jueming laughed.

"Also... the eyeliner you put beside me all these years is the girl's black cat, right? Is she a cat spirit? Can she take human form?"

"...You, how do you even know this?"

"Although I'm surprised, I'm not stupid. I should figure it out."

"For eight years, you must always know about my news, stare at me, and stay close to me. It is impossible to have no eyeliner."

"When Xiaotaishan met Jiuying, you lost a filial piety card and I picked it up. I saw Ma Boyuan wearing mourning for his grandma and I remembered it. I also tied one around the girl's neck. Is that the one? You took it away gone."

"So she is your eyeliner. What did she tell you about me? I treated her very well. She didn't say anything bad about me, did she?"

"...Don't ask..."

"Shame on me to expose you?"

"..."

"Thinking about it this way, there is an unnamed wild grave next to my parents, so it must be Xiaoyi..."

……

They talked a lot that night.

They hugged each other and nestled on a bed that was not too big or too small. Their flesh was close to their flesh, and the temperature of their bodies was also close to each other.

All the complicated intricacies, all the chaotic secrets, are torn apart one by one, and flattened one by one.They have nothing to worry about anymore.

The situation is tense right now, but it's strange that both Zhou Qizun and Zhang Jueming feel a very rare sense of ease and stability.

Just like the roots of a tree are rooted into the earth, with people around you, you will not be afraid of anything, no matter what wind and rain, thunder and lightning storms, the roots have already grasped the soil and tightened it.

A night without sleep, a night of bed talk.Sour words, bitter words, love words.

Dawn came, and warm light burst out from the cracks in the curtains, folded in mid-air, and spread to their waists.

Lang Lang's day broke.

.

"Don't worry about coming together, Changshengling is with my second uncle, Zhou Yi will definitely be fine!"

Zhang Jueming went to see Guo Qingxuan early in the morning and asked for the longevity bell.

Guo Qingxuan looked at him a few times—the complexion on his face was normal, even a little red, but his breath was uneven, and he was far from recovering.

"Keep your voice down, Aunt Zhao is about to hear." Zhang Jueming frowned, "When is your second uncle coming?"

"Tonight." Guo Qingxuan pursed her lips, and turned her eyes to the direction of the kitchen, "Aunt Zhao is making soup in the kitchen, I can't hear you."

Zhang Jueming had heard from Lin Juan that Aunt Zhao already knew they were not ordinary people, and his sister Xuan almost told her most of the truth.

Ordinary people are not easy to get involved, but the incident happened suddenly, and there was no way to involve Aunt Zhao. Zhang Jueming felt guilty, and really didn't want her to have more trouble.

"Let your second uncle come over at night, and keep Auntie Zhao asleep while she is asleep, so as not to disturb her." Zhang Jueming instructed Guo Qingxuan.

"I know, I've already contacted my second uncle. Don't worry, I won't let Aunt Zhao get hurt again." Guo Qingxuan said.

Zhang Jueming nodded, and asked again: "How is Ma Boyuan doing? Is he in Lin Juan's house? I'll go and see."

Guo Qingxuan wrinkled her face and was about to sigh when Zhou Qizun came in from the door carrying a bowl of soup.

"Auntie Zhao just made chicken soup, Cassia, let's have some." Zhou Qizun said.

"It's just right, someone who can take care of things is here." Guo Qingxuan said immediately, and pushed Zhou Qizun to Zhang Jueming, "Zhou Qizun, watch him, so that he won't mess around."

Guo Qingxuan said to Zhang Jueming: "The evil spirit on Ma Boyuan's body has been eliminated. With me, Lin Juan, and Xiaotong taking care of him, nothing will happen. But whether he can wake up or not depends on his own destiny. Whether he lives or dies, that's all. It's a matter of a few days. It's no use if you go."

"I want to send him some spiritual energy." Zhang Jueming said.

"I knew it." Guo Qingxuan looked at Zhang Jueming again with a displeased look, "Your own spirit vein has suffered a severe damage, and you haven't recovered yet, and you want to send it out."

"Don't worry, there is me. You mountain ghost was born in the wilderness, and even the heavens and the earth thrive. My dragon clan is also an ancient holy clan, and the aura of the green dragon is not much worse."

Guo Qingxuan turned her face and told Zhou Qizun: "Let him rest well, he is still weak, so he can't mess around."

Guo Qingxuan naturally did not let Zhou Qizun go: "And you, go back and lie down too, what a mortal body."

"..."

As soon as Guo Qingxuan said that, both Zhang Jueming and Zhou Qizun became dumb.

Yes, don't mess around.But these two can't toss around, last night they tossed a lot with injuries and illnesses.

"Ahem... um..." Zhou Qizun cleared his throat in embarrassment, held the soup bowl in one hand, and wrapped his arms around Zhang Jueming's waist with the other, "Catherine, go back to the house. "

Zhang Jueming: "...Oh."

Guo Qingxuan: "..."

Guo Qingxuan saw that these two were a bit lame, so they must be hiding tricks.She thought about it for a while, two young men who are suffocating, bitter, affectionate, and a pot of dry firewood, what else can they toss...

Thinking about her, she said "Oops", and quickly turned around and went to the kitchen to find Aunt Zhao to stir the soup.

Zhou Qizun was thick-skinned with dark heart and lungs, he couldn't hold back, and he was able to burst into laughter.

"...you're still laughing." Zhang Jueming lowered his eyes and muttered.

"Hey, don't laugh." Zhou Qizun wiped his face and stopped laughing.

Zhang Jueming glanced at him, took the soup bowl in his hand, and said quietly: "Go back to the house."

Zhou Qizun followed Zhang Jueming, staring at Zhang Jueming's spine.He thought to himself: "Little daughter-in-law, this is a little daughter-in-law."

But as soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qizun stretched his back, and his waist became sore again. ——This is a "good enough" little daughter-in-law in his family.

"What's the matter?" Putting down the soup bowl, watching Zhou Qizun beating his back, Zhang Jueming hurried over to ask.

"Backache." Zhou Qizun said honestly.

"Why..." Zhang Jueming suddenly fell silent, and his complexion began to mature again.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qizun played bullying in a nonchalant way, "You don't understand?"

"You!..." Zhang Jueming couldn't say it, he had no temper, so he could only carry the spoon in boredom.

Zhou Qizun had gathered enough energy before he got serious: "So worried about my body?"

"Hmm." As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhang Jueming's thoughts sank, "I don't know how your ghost eyes came from, and the Zhou family's fingers are strange. I wanted to ask Yan Luowang, but Yan Luodian I can't figure out his attitude. I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Qizun walked up behind Zhang Jueming, and hugged him from behind.

"I think..." Zhang Jueming hesitated, and said, "Do you want to ask Guo Qingxuan's second uncle to help?"

Zhang Jueming: "Although Liangxuan belongs to the dragon clan, Guo Heng is upright and unselfish. If he hadn't saved me, I'm afraid this time...with Guo Qingxuan here, I think I can try to trust him."

Zhou Qizun also had a lot of detours and worries in his heart, but no matter what, Guo Heng saved Zhang Jueming even if Guo Qingxuan was not mentioned. ——How can you be suspicious of the grace of saving your life.

"Okay. Let's do it like this." Zhou Qizun agreed.He took a deep breath around Zhang Jueming's neck.The scent of the mountain ghost calmed him down.
