The flames of war and gunpowder filled the whole world, and the heavens and the earth were completely shrouded in a sea of blood. In an instant, a blood-red point of light rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes.

"Whew-" The boy woke up sharply and quickly sat up from the bed.

Everything shrouded in blood vanished.

The sunlight shines through the window, the birds chirp in pleasantly and clearly, and the colors around are so familiar. It was a complete false alarm, and this was my room at all. What I saw was just a nightmare of nothingness.

This young man was none other than the boy who was adopted by Ling Tianhao on that snowy day fifteen years ago-Ye Xiao. Fifteen years have passed like a white horse, and now he is thriving.

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, the clothes on his back were slightly wet, and his hands were not as warm as usual. Ye Xiao touched his chest with palpitations, soothing his heart that was difficult to calm down.

After shaking his head vigorously, rubbing his eyes vigorously, and reconfirming that the scene in front of him was indeed the room he was most familiar with, Ye Xiao eased up a little.

"Brother Xiao, you woke up. A voice as melodious as a bell rang out in the room. What followed was a delicate face as beautiful as a fairy.

It was a stunningly beautiful face, like flawless jasper, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. The pink little face is as tender as clotted fat. Snow-like skin, delicate and smooth, can be broken by blowing. On the cheeks, the lips are slightly opened, and the teeth are slightly exposed. She was wearing a snow-white dress with delicate snow lotuses embroidered on the skirt. The snow-white dress shows off the straight and slender legs in it. A long ice-blue hair, like a waterfall of green silk, slipped down his shoulders and hung down to his waistcoat.

The girl stood quietly with a faint smile. She is the center of the world, she is all the colors, and all the beauty around her is overshadowed by her.

Seeing that he was awake, the girl called softly. The girl's stunning appearance made Ye Xiao, who was still palpitating, a little distracted.

This beautiful girl is no one else, but the biological daughter of Ling Tianhao, the head of the Ling family, the eldest lady of the Ling family, and the person who grew up with Ye Xiao - Ling Xueyao.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao?" the girl waved her snow-white hand anxiously, which made Ye Xiao react.

"Ah, it turned out to be Xue Yao. Ye Xiao naturally lifted the bedding as he spoke, ready to stand up and change his clothes.

"Xue Yao???!!!" Ye Xiao, who had just recovered a little from the panic of the nightmare, was frightened again.

Ye Xiao seemed to realize something, suddenly reacted, instantly lost his voice and exclaimed, hurriedly pulled the futon that had been lifted for a long time, put it back on his body, and asked tremblingly: "Xue Yao!! why are you in my room?!"

Ye Xiao's actions were like a girl from a good family who had just left the boudoir and met an evil and lustful street bully, dodging and dodging. Ling Xueyao was not embarrassed at all, but approached Ye Xiao's bed with a smile, and said with a slight threat: "Why is Brother Xiao so shy, are you still afraid that Xue Yao will eat you?"

Who did you learn from this little girl? And what kind of world joke are you making, my dignified seven-foot man, will be threatened by you?

Ye Xiao immediately turned over and got out of bed, straightened up and replied, "I am a manly man, so I am not threatened by you." ”

Seeing Ye Xiao's behavior, Ling Xueyao covered her mouth and couldn't help but smile, turned around and took off the robe cover that Ye Xiao hung on the hanger. Without waiting for Ye Xiao to speak, he put it on Ye Xiao's body and tied it for his clothes.

"I'm bothering Xue Yao to help me again. ”

Ye Xiao straightened his arms, very cooperative, and embarrassed in his heart. Although she has emphasized many times that she will no longer use Ling Xueyao to help, this little girl will always come over from time to time. is such a big person, he actually asked his sister to help take care of his clothes, and he was afraid that he would make others laugh out of his big teeth when he said it.

Ye Xiao's words of gratitude made Ling Xueyao's heart full of joy, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and skillfully helped Ye Xiao put on a splendid robe for him. After dressing, Ling Xueyao was reluctant to remove her little hand from Ye Xiao's body.

Ye Xiao, who has been carefully groomed and dressed, is like two people compared to his sloppy appearance before.

At the age of fifteen, he was already much taller than his peers. The eyebrows are delicate, the expression is natural, and the eyes are like stars, vast and bright. He wore a snow-white brocade robe, tied a blue-blue silk jade belt around his waist, and stepped on a pair of dark clouds chasing the wind. The clothes are embroidered with Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum and four gentlemen, making him even more elegant and refined.

Ye Xiao looked in the mirror and looked satisfied: "This appearance is worthy of my handsome appearance, he is really a son of a jade tree in the wind." ”

Seeing him like this, Ling Xueyao couldn't help but joke: "Brother Xiao is really narcissistic. ”

"What narcissism? Xue Yao, don't talk nonsense, this is called natural beauty and hard to give up. ”

"Poof. Ling Xue Yaoyu covered her small mouth with her hand and smiled lightly: "Brother Xiao, natural beauty is used to describe beautiful women, not men." ”

"This ...... Don't worry about the details. Ye Xiao realized that he seemed to be a little overdone, and hurriedly explained: "Just understand, that's what I mean." ”

Seeing his hurried appearance, Ling Xueyao smiled: "Okay, Brother Xiao, go and have breakfast, today's breakfast was made for you by Xue Yao herself." ”

"Really?!"

As soon as he heard that it was made by Ling Xueyao himself earlier today, Ye Xiao's heart was simply happy.

Although Ling Xueyao is the eldest lady of the Ling family, she has loved cooking since she was a child, and often goes to the kitchen to learn the cooking of various delicacies from several chefs of the Ling family. With her ingenuity, she has been passed down by several people, and she has been able to make countless exquisite delicacies at a young age. Especially the ice and snow glass cake she made, which is Ye Xiao's favorite.

The production of ice and snow glass cake is quite difficult.

A piece of ice and snow glass cake requires just the right proportion of ingredients and plenty of patience to be perfectly baked. Therefore, even Ye Xiao, who has a soft spot for him, can't eat it a few times a year.

Seeing Ye Xiao's eyes glowing with greed, Ling Xueyao didn't sell him: "Today, Xue Yao specially made Brother Xiao's favorite ice and snow glass cake. ”

Hearing her words, Ye Xiao didn't care about anything, walked quickly to the table, and lifted the lid of the wooden box. A familiar aroma came to his nose, exactly the taste he had been waiting for.

Pieces of ice and snow glass crisps embellished with white sesame seeds are neatly arranged and lie quietly in the wooden box. Ye Xiao's eyes were full of greed, and he couldn't wait to swallow all the ice and snow glass cakes into his stomach in one go, and relieve his hunger.

But thinking that if such a delicacy ended up being devoured, it would be too tyrannical, and finally Ye Xiao resisted his appetite, picked up a piece of ice and snow glass cake, took a bite, and chewed it carefully. The delicious entrance made Ye Xiao enjoy it for a while.

"By the way, Xue Yao, every time you come to call me, you must have something important to remind you. What's going on today?" Ye Xiao asked Ling Xueyao about her intentions today, and didn't forget to put a piece of ice and snow glass cake into her mouth.

"Hmph, Brother Xiao really forgot. Ling Xueyao was a little angry, pursed her lips, and couldn't help but "complain": "Today is the day when the kendo master comes to the Ling family to teach the sword. You've been looking forward to it before, and you've promised that you won't miss it, why did you forget it right away? If it weren't for Xue Yao's arrival, would you have overslept again today?"

"It turns out that this is the case, don't worry, there is plenty of time. ”

Ye Xiao replied casually and continued to enjoy the food. Seeing him like this, Ling Xueyao put her hands on the table, supported her head, and stared at Ye Xiao with some anger.

Ye Xiao didn't care at all, at this time, in his eyes, there was only ice and snow glazed cake.

Putting the last piece of ice and snow glass cake into his mouth, Ye Xiao patted his stomach with satisfaction, as if he had an endless aftertaste, and couldn't help but praise in his mouth: "Xue Yao's craftsmanship is really getting better and better." ”

"Hehe, if Brother Xiao likes it, Xue Yao will work hard and try to cook you a meal in a few days. Ye Xiao's words of admiration made Ling Xueyao's previous little emotions disappear in an instant.

"Really?!" This statement was like a heavenly sound, which made Ye Xiao happy for a while: "Great." I really envy the guy who is going to marry Xue Yao in the future. It's a blessing for him to marry you. ”

Hearing Ye Xiao's sudden ridicule, Ling Xueyao's little face turned red, and she immediately said angrily: "Brother Xiao, you are poor again, what is this." It's not good to marry someone at all, so Xue Yao shouldn't get married. ”

Immediately, Ling Xueyao muttered to herself in a very low voice, and her pink little face became more and more red because of it: "If you want to marry, you will only marry ...... in this life."

The last three words were so light that even she could hardly hear them.

"Well, what are you talking about?" Ye Xiao was still tasting the ice and snow glass cake in his mouth, but he still asked. He naturally heard Ling Xueyao's soft voice, but he didn't hear a word.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Ling Xueyao hurriedly stood up and denied it, but her red face had already betrayed her: "Brother Xiao hurry up and prepare, and I will go to listen to the sword master's lecture later." ”

was mentioned by her again, and Ye Xiao focused his attention on this matter. Ye Xiao has been fond of kendo since he was a child, and for this reason he has even learned several sets of sword dance moves. The action of waving the long sword in his hand always made him yearn for it and revel in it. A restless heart can always calm down at this time.

This time, he learned from his father that a kendo master would come to the Ling family to teach kendo, and he was already excited. In the past few days, Ye Xiao has often been so happy that he can't sleep because he looks forward to this day. Last night, I was finally tired and fell asleep, but I had nightmares and was quite frightened. It was only now that he had completely recovered from his fright, and focused all his attention on the matter of the sword master teaching the sword today.

Knock! Knock!

There was a knock at the door, followed by an old voice: "Young master, it's not too early, it's time to get up." ”

"The swordsman will arrive soon, and the master has instructed you and Miss Xue Yao to go over and greet him when the time comes. ”
