Burning fire

Perhaps it was because of a heart-to-heart chat just now, or maybe it was because Zhou Qizun kowtowed on Zhang Jueming's head as a laity with a guilty conscience.

Anyway, when Zhou Qizun came out of the shower, the atmosphere between the two was much more comfortable than before.Zhou Qizun found Zhang Jueming more pleasing to the eye, at least, he felt that the "mountain ghost" in front of him was very human now.

Especially when Zhou Qizun saw the food on the table.

Zhou Qizun wiped his head with a towel, and smelled the aroma of vegetables all over his nose: "The meal you ordered? Delivered so fast?"

"En." Zhang Jueming glanced at Zhou Qizun, lowered his head and opened the lunch box, "The restaurant is next to the hotel, and what I want is simple meals, and they will be delivered in a while."

Zhang Jueming: "You didn't eat the plane meal, and I'm hungry too, do you want to have some together?"

Do you want more...Zhou Qizun looked around, Zhang Jueming didn't ask for much, but it was obviously for two people.

Tsk, young man, can't you be cute if you're good?

Zhou Qizun looked at the table—it was really simple, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and two pies.

Zhou Qizun blinked and asked, "What's the stuffing in the pie?"

"Beef." Zhang Jueming said.

Zhou Qizun went to look at the hot and sour potato shreds again, it was yellow and red, and there was no green pepper.

"I made a note not to add sugar to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Sorry, I didn't ask you because you were taking a shower." Zhang Jueming said casually.

Zhou Qizun threw away the towel, and covered his hair with his big hands: "I don't like sugar either."

Zhou Qizun usually has a mediocre appetite, so it's unfair to say he's picky, it's not that he doesn't eat anything because he doesn't like it, but he's a bit harsh when it comes to dishes.

For example, pies, pork and donkey meat and other messy meat are not happy to eat, and only beef is preferred.Another example is that there should be green peppers in the hot and sour potato shreds, but I only like to put red peppers alone.Of course, tomato scrambled eggs don't like sweet ones either.

And the stall on the table, whether it's a coincidence or a clever idea, is exactly on Zhou Qizun's idea.

——This is as it should be.After all, the cat spirit of Spades has been with Zhou Qizun for several years, making small reports of usefulness and uselessness all day long, and even if Zhou Qizun has a hole in his socks, he will slander Zhang Jueming. The taste is still unclear, and the spade should have been reincarnated long ago.

However, for the sake of reason, Zhang Jueming still deliberately added: "I don't know what you like to eat, I ordered according to my own preferences, and you can add more if you want to eat."

"No need." Zhou Qizun picked up the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, raised his head and took a big gulp.The warm white porridge is sticky and soft, with a slight salty taste. Drinking it in one sip will make your stomach feel very comfortable.

Zhou Qizun broke off the chopsticks, picked up the pie and gnawed on it: "I'm not that picky." He only said this vaguely.

Zhang Jueming secretly looked at the way this man ate, he was neither refined nor particular, he swallowed big mouthfuls, eating quickly and roughly.But it's very good-looking, especially eye-catching.

Zhang Jueming watched, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he ate a piece of pie himself.

The two of them cleaned up the things on the table in a short while.

Zhang Jueming took the initiative to stand up and pack the lunch box: "Are you full?"

"Enough." Zhou Qizun rubbed his belly, seeing Zhang Jueming tidying things up neatly, he had the cheek to stand aside and do nothing.He looked at the wall clock on the wall, "It's almost twelve o'clock, I can't digest too much."

"Yeah." Zhang Jueming had already packed the lunch box on the other end, threw it beside the trash can, and wiped the table clean by the way.

The young man bent over, took off his coat, and only had a thin white shirt on his body.The material of the shirt was soft, and it was lightly attached to his skin, faintly outlining a lean and strong waistline.

His bent back raised the light, giving off a layer of furry soft awn, for a moment, reminiscent of some docile and pure white animal.

"Just trust him. He never harmed me." Zhou Qizun thought suddenly.

"Zhang Jueming." Zhou Qizun put his hand into his pocket and felt the blood jade finger ring.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhang Jueming turned around and asked.

Zhou Qizun's cell phone on the bed rang suddenly.Zhou Qizun paused: "Sorry, wait a minute."

He walked to the bed and picked up his mobile phone to watch.

It turned out to be a message from Liu Jian: "I'm sorry, Zhou Er, I'm too busy today, I came to you so late, I won't call when it's too late, I just told you, everything is arranged, the girl is in the hospital , the situation is not bad, if you go to Jishou tomorrow, you should be able to see her the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Qizun couldn't help using more strength with the fingers pinching the phone, and his heart throbbed indescribably.

Xiao Yi...his Xiao Yi.

Zhou Qizun exhaled, and wrote back to Liu Jian: "Brother, you have worked hard, I will contact you when I arrive in Jishou tomorrow."

Replying the good letter, Zhou Qizun turned his face to look at Zhang Jueming: "Well, after this trip is over, I will contact you again when I return to Changchun."

Zhang Jueming was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Maybe I have something to tell you." Zhou Qizun smiled, "I'll find you when the time comes."

Right now, let's focus on Zhou Yi's affairs first.Zhou Qizun didn't want to cause trouble.Moving forward in the fog, the most taboo is to rely on carelessly and look forward and backward.In all unknown circumstances, he must be extra cautious.No matter what, he couldn't involve Zhou Yi, not even the slightest possibility.Still waiting to bring Zhou Yi home...if that girl is really Zhou Yi.

When Zhang Jueming heard this, he had to be nervous: "If there is anything wrong, you should tell me immediately."

"There's nothing wrong." Zhou Qizun sighed, and put the phone on the bedside table, "Go to bed early."

Zhang Jueming frowned and stopped talking.

The bedside table was sandwiched between two single beds, and Zhou Qizun saw a small white jade bell on it.

He had never seen such a beautiful bell.There is obviously no special design, and the body of the bell does not have any engraved decorations, but the white jade is clear and bright, with a layer of floating light, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

"Your bell?" Zhou Qizun couldn't help asking, "Is this some magic weapon? It's very beautiful."

Zhou Qizun: "Aren't the things over there pretty good-looking? The talisman you gave me last time is also the same. The big red cinnabar used to draw the talisman is very beautiful."

"It's just a bell." Zhang Jueming didn't say much, his brows loosened, "Have you brought the evil spirit talisman?"

"Bring it." Zhou Qizun pointed to the backpack at the foot of the bed, "in the bag."

Zhang Jueming was about to open his mouth immediately, Zhou Qizun said again: "Don't worry, I'll keep it in my pocket during the day."

Zhang Jueming sighed and said nothing more.He turned and went to the bathroom, and turned off the headlights in the room: "Go to sleep, good night."

Zhou Qizun went to bed, straightened his back, stared at the ceiling for a while, and closed his eyes.

.

Zhou Qizun didn't fall asleep until after three o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Jueming was lying beside him, hearing Zhou Qizun's long and steady breathing, and then turned over and sat up on the bed.

He got out of bed in the dark, without making a sound, and floated to the bathroom like a light ghost.

I wanted to wash my face, but the tap made noise.Even if the door is closed, the sound of running water will be loud and loud in the dark night.Afraid of disturbing Zhou Qizun, Zhang Jueming didn't wash his face.

He just rubbed his face with his hands.Zhang Jueming didn't even turn on the lamp, he put his hands on the edge of the sink, and took a slow breath.

"Be careful, don't let him find out." Zhang Jueming said in a low voice.

Behind him, the Longevity Bell also floated over. The bell was small, hidden in the darkness, and didn't shine. It just floated so lightly, as if it didn't exist.

Zhou Yi also kept his voice extremely quiet: "He's asleep, so he won't find out."

"You also know that he can't sleep well." Zhang Jueming turned around and leaned against the sink with his back, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say."

"My brother said there is something he wants to tell you. Could it be that the murderous paw came after him?" Zhou Yi asked worriedly.

Zhang Jueming thought for a moment: "Probably not."

Zhang Jueming: "Perhaps Zhou Qizun discovered something strange. There should be no danger at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't... cough cough."

Zhang Jueming covered his mouth and coughed twice to suppress the movement.

Changshengling flew forward, getting closer to Zhang Jueming.It stopped next to Zhang Jueming's ear, making it easier to say: "My brother still doesn't believe you."

"It's good." Zhang Jueming held his throat with his hand to prevent himself from coughing again. "If it were me, I wouldn't trust myself either. The more cautious he is, the more at ease I can be."

"Casia..." Zhou Yi gritted his teeth, and said suddenly after a while, "Otherwise, tell my brother the truth. At the very least, let him know that you can trust him, and let him know that Jishou's Zhou Yi is a trap ..."

"No." Zhang Jueming raised his head and looked at Changshengling in the dark, "According to your brother's temperament, if he knew that you had become like this, would he not get into that trap? Would he not avenge his blood? He would do his best Yes. Who do you think can stop him then? Can I knock him out and lock him up in your barber shop?"

"Then this time...maybe there is no way to hide it from him." Zhou Yi murmured, "If he really brought that fake Zhou Yi home, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"

"I won't let this kind of thing happen, Zhou Qizun won't take her away." Zhang Jueming felt a sharp pain in his temple, "I've said it before, it's about a sacred object, it's not a trivial matter. Zhou Yi, you have to calm down."

Zhang Jueming: "Whether it is the Chijin Order or the Ambergris Bead, they should not appear in the world. Although the sacred object is 'holy', it has gone to a place where it should not go, and in the hands of ordinary people, no matter how good the name is, it is still a disaster. , nothing good will happen. You know that best."

Back then, the Zhou family was also able to...

Zhang Jueming: "Also, people and ghosts go their separate ways, between you... it's not easy to get involved."

Zhou Yi fell silent, and Zhang Jueming heard the girl sniff her nose lightly, so she must be hiding in the bell and weeping silently.

"I'm sorry, I said it harshly. I know you are worried about Zhou Qizun." Zhang Jueming's tone slowed down a bit, and his voice was even smaller, almost breathless.

Zhang Jueming was lying on the bed just now, thinking, what is the thing that Zhou Qizun didn't say?In addition to Qilin blood, the evil claw said that he also had a grudge against the Zhou family.He asked Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi had no clue, Zhou Qizun didn't even believe in ghosts and ghosts before, and he certainly wouldn't know.

Could it be that the other party did something else?But he has been guarding Zhou Qizun, so he won't be unaware.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Zhang Jueming's head hurt more and more, and he felt dizzy suddenly.He couldn't help closing his eyes, and supported the sink behind him with both arms, so that he didn't sit on the ground.

"I'm not only worried about my brother, I'm also worried about you." Seeing him like this, Chang Shengling quickly got into his pocket and lay obediently on his stomach.

Zhou Yi said in a low voice: "You haven't rested for many days, it's impossible to go on like this."

"It's okay." After a while, Zhang Jueming opened his eyes again.

He stood up straight and pushed open the bathroom door: "Go out, don't talk anymore."

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, only the sound of Zhou Qizun's breathing was rising and falling regularly.

Zhang Jueming walked to Zhou Qizun's bed and bent down.He stretched out his hand reluctantly, wanting to touch that high bridge of nose very much.

The hand paused in mid-air for a while, and finally let it go.Zhang Jueming gently pulled the corner of Xia Zhou Qizun's quilt, and went to lie down on the bed next to him.

Across a small bedside table, Zhang Jueming turned sideways, looking at Zhou Qizun's profile in the darkness.

The author says:

Zhou Qizun: Do you know how scary it is to be stared at like this while sleeping?

Zhang Jueming: Sorry, I...

Zhou Qizun: All right, shut up.Okay, sorry, sorry, what else can you say?

Zhang Jueming obediently admitted his mistake: ...I dare not say that I like you.

Zhou Qizun rolled his eyes to the sky.
