Lan Wangji walked on the long street.

The pedestrians all around looked at this handsome young man, and the children of the Gusu Lan clan had long been accustomed to this, and Lan Wangji had been able to turn a blind eye since he was thirteen years old.

A girl in a colorful dress hurriedly passed by him, and suddenly threw something at him.

Lan Wangji's face did not move, and he quickly caught that thing, and when he looked down, it was a snow-white bud with dew.

Lan Wangji: "......"

Just as he was silent, another graceful figure walked towards him, raised his hand and threw a small light blue flower, which was not smashed, smashed on his shoulder, and was caught by Lan Wangji. Looking away, the woman grinned, hid her face and fled.

The third time, it was a young girl with a comb on her head, who came up and down, holding a flower branch decorated with scattered red buds in both hands, threw it to his chest, turned and ran.

Again and again, Lan Wangji had already picked up a large handful of colorful flowers and branches, and stood on the street with a blank face. Pedestrians on the street were smiling and pointing. Lan Wangji was looking down and thinking, suddenly his hair was slightly heavy, he raised his hand to touch it, and a pink peony that was blooming brightly landed on his sideburns impartially.

Looking up, above the tall buildings, the veils fluttered. A slender man in black leaned on the back of the red lacquered beauty, hanging down one hand, and holding a delicate wine jug in his hand, the tassels of which were wrapped around his arm, and were swinging leisurely.

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Lan Zhan—ah, no, it's Hanguang-jun." What a coincidence!"

Lan Wangji looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "It's you." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "It's me! I'm going to do such a boring thing, of course." Who are you looking for? If you're not in a hurry, can you come up and have a drink?"

A few girls surrounded him, crowded around the beauty, and laughed downward: "Yes, Childe come up and have a drink!"

It was the girls who threw him with flowers.

It is self-evident who instructed it.

Lan Wangji bowed his head, turned around and left. Wei Wuxian was not surprised to see that he couldn't tease him. Who knows, a moment later, a sound of footsteps that is neither light nor heavy, not slow or urgent, came. Lan Wangji steadily ascended the stairs and put the stack of flowers that had just hit him on the small case.

Lan Wangji said: "Your flowers." ”

Wei Wuxian's crooked body had just sat up from the beauty, and then he leaned back to the small case, and said, "I'll send you." These are already your flowers. ”

Lan Wangji said: "Why." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "No, I just want to see how you react when you encounter this kind of thing." ”

Lan Wangji said: "Boring. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "It's just boring, otherwise how could I be so bored that I pulled you up...... Hey, don't go, I'm all up, why don't you drink two glasses before leaving?"

Lan Wangji said: "Prohibition of alcohol." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "I know that alcohol is forbidden. But it's not like Yunshen doesn't know where to go, so it's okay to drink two glasses. ”

The girls immediately took out new wine glasses, filled them, and pushed them to the pile of flowers. Lan Wangji still didn't mean to sit down, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

He pondered for a moment, seemed to consider the wording again, and said, "At the Jinlintai flower banquet the night before, it was very inappropriate for you to leave with your sleeves up. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Am I okay?"

Lan Wangji said: "What do you have to do with Jin Zixuan?" ”

A look of anger flashed between Wei Wuxian's eyebrows.

He put down the wine cup heavily and said, "Don't mention Jin Zixuan to me!"

When this anger gradually dissipated, he smiled lightly and said, "Don't be so bad." It's rare to come to Lanling, of course, to taste the wine here. Although the wine is beautiful, it is still not as good as your Gusu's smile of the Son of Heaven, which is really the best in the wine. If you have a chance in the future, you must hide him from ten altars and eight altars, and drink it in one breath - you say that you are a person, what's the matter, if you have a seat, you don't sit, sit. ”

The girls coaxed, "Sit!"

Lan Wangji's light-colored eyes coldly looked at these extremely beautiful girls, and then, his gaze fixed on the black and shiny flute on Wei Wuxian's waist, with a red tassel tied down.

Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow, a little anticipating what he would say next.

Sure enough, Lan Wangji said slowly: "You shouldn't be in the company of non-people all day long. ”

On the platform, the girls who seemed to be bright and fresh flashed a trace of coldness in their eyes.

Wei Wuxian raised his hand, stopping their resentment and letting them step aside. He shook his head and said, "Lan Zhan, the bigger you are, the more boring you are." is so young, and not seventy or eighty, why do you always learn from your uncle, always thinking about teaching people. ”

Lan Wangji said stubbornly: "Damage to the body, damage to the heart." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Didn't you say enough of these words when you shot the Sun? It's heartbreaking, but I haven't become too mad. ”

Before Lan Wangji could say anything more, Wei Wuxian had already stood up and said, "It seems that I really shouldn't have invited you up, I'm presumptuous." ”

Smiling slightly, he said politely: "Hanguang-kun, let's meet again if we have a fate." ”

When Wei Wuxian returned to the Lotus Dock, Jiang Cheng was wiping his sword, raised his eyes, and said, "You're back?"

Wei Wuxian said, "I'm back." ”

Jiang Cheng said: "With a bad face, did you meet Jin Zixuan?"

Wei Wuxian said: "It's worse than meeting Jin Zixuan, who is the one you meet." ”

"Who" usually only refers to one person in Wei Wuxian's mouth, Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "Lan Wangji, didn't he go back after the flower banquet?"

Wei Wuxian said, "I didn't come back." Wandering through the streets, probably looking for someone. ”

Jiang Cheng said: "You are also strange. Obviously, I break up with him every time, why do you always tirelessly dislike him every time?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Count me boring?"

Jiang Cheng's gaze moved back to the sword and said, "In the future, on occasions like the Flower Banquet, don't stop wearing a sword." Bad manners. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "Then how to do it, you don't know, that kind of banquet will definitely find a few people to come out and compete in swords." My sword is not for viewing, but it must be seen when it comes out of its sheath. Just don't bring it, it's quiet and worry-free, don't send two people to kill me, no one wants to bother me. ”

Jiang Cheng said: "Didn't you like to show off your swordsmanship in front of people before. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "I used to be a child. Who can always be a child. ”

Jiang Cheng snorted and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't wear a sword. At least don't throw your sleeves and leave without permission, if you want to go, you find a reason to go again. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Disgusting Jin Zixuan, isn't this reason enough?"

Jiang Cheng said: "No matter what Jin Zixuan says, he is also Jin Guangshan's only son, you throw him in front of the public, quarrel and argue with him, what do you want me to do as the head of the family." Will I join you in scolding him, or will I punish you?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Only son, isn't there another Jin Guangyao now? Jin Guangyao is much more pleasing to the eye than him." ”

Jiang Cheng finished wiping the sword and looked at it for a while, then inserted the three poisons into the sheath and said, "What's the use of pleasing the eyes." No matter how pleasing to the eye and clever, you can only be a retainer who greets and sends you off. There's no way to compare with Jin Zixuan. ”

Wei Wuxian listened, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What do you mean by that? I listened to you talking to him that day, do you want Senior Sister to ...... with him again?"

Jiang Cheng said: "It's okay. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "Isn't it impossible? Have you forgotten what Jin Zixuan made Senior Sister sad in Langxie? Look at his father's virtue, maybe he will be the same ghost in the future, fooling around looking for women everywhere." Senior sister and him?Can you bear it?!"

Jiang Cheng said solemnly: "He dares!"

After a pause, he said again: "However, since Jin Zixuan already knows that he was wrong, it is not too late to repent now. After all, it was just a misunderstanding. ”

Wei Wuxian sneered, "Do you want to forgive him if you know it's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "If you don't forgive, it's not up to you to decide." Who called the sister like him. ”

Wei Wuxian was speechless.

After talking to Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian went to the kitchen first, and a jar of soup was simmering on the fire, and no one was there. If I go to Jiang Yanli's room again, I won't be there. Finally, I went to the ancestral hall, and sure enough, it was there.

Jiang Yanli sat in the ancestral hall, wiping his father's and mother's tablets while speaking softly. Wei Wuxian stretched out his head and said, "Senior sister, are you chatting with Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu again?"

Jiang Yanli said softly: "You don't come, so I have to come." ”

Wei Wuxian walked in, sat down beside her, and wiped the tablet with him.

He quietly looked at Jiang Yanli's side face while wiping. The more I looked at it, and remembered what Jin Zixuan said when he was in Langxie, the more unhappy he became, and said in his heart: "Since I was a child, I haven't seen my senior sister cry a few times, why should I be made to cry by that guy." It's not worth it!"

Why is it that Jin Zixuan?

Jiang Yanli said, "What do you want to tell me?"

Wei Wuxian smiled, "It's nothing. I'll just come in and roll around. ”

Saying that, he really rolled on the ground, and Jiang Yanli asked, "Envy, how old are you?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Three years old." ”

Seeing that Jiang was tired of laughing, he sat up, thought about it, and said, "Senior sister, I want to ask you something." ”

Jiang Yanli said, "Ask." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Why do people like another person? ”

Jiang Yanli was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "What are you asking me for? Who does Ah Xian like? What kind of girl is it?"

Wei Wuxian said, "No." I wouldn't like anyone. At least don't like one too much. Isn't this a plow around your neck and a plow?"

Jiang Yanli said: "Well, that's it, three years old is about the same." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Okay, three-year-old Xianxian is hungry and wants to eat!"

Jiang Yanli smiled: "There is soup in the kitchen, go drink it." I don't know if Envy is enough to get the stove?"

Wei Wuxian's favorite drink is the lotus root pork rib soup boiled by Jiang Yanli.

He always remembers the first time he drank it.

At that time, Wei Wuxian had just been picked up from Yiling by Jiang Fengmian. Jiang Cheng's several little milk dogs were given to others, and he was so angry that he cried. Even if Jiang Fengmian was kind and comforting, and let the two of them "be good friends", he refused to talk to Wei Wuxian.

After a few days, Jiang Cheng's attitude softened a little, and Jiang Fengmian wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he asked Wei Wuxian to live in a room with him, hoping that they could enhance their relationship.

But the bad thing is that Jiang Fengmian was happy for a while, and he lifted Wei Wuxian up and let him sit on his arm. Jiang Cheng looked at this scene, and the whole person was stunned. Mrs. Yu sneered on the spot and walked away. Because the husband and wife had their own important matters, they hurriedly went out, so they didn't have time to quarrel again.

That night, Jiang Cheng locked Wei Wuxian out of the door and didn't let him in.

Wei Wuxian patted the door and said, "Senior brother, junior brother, let me in, I want to sleep." ”

Jiang Cheng was in the room, with his back to the door and shouted, "You return my concubine, you return my jasmine!"

Concubine and Jasmine are all his original dogs. Wei Wuxian knew that Jiang Fengmian had sent them away because of himself, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. But...... But I'm afraid they'......"

In Jiang Cheng's memory, Jiang Fengmian picked him up no more than ten times, and each time was enough for him to be happy for several months. He couldn't get out of a vicious breath in his chest, and his heart was full of "why what, what basis", and suddenly saw that in the room that originally belonged to him, there was a set of bedding that did not belong to him, and that evil anger and unwillingness rushed to the door of his head, hugged Wei Wuxian's mat and quilt, threw it out, closed the door again, and said, "You go to sleep somewhere else! This is my room! Do you want to grab even my room?!"

Wei Wuxian didn't understand what Jiang Cheng was angry about at that time, so he was stunned and said, "It was Uncle Jiang who asked me to ......."

As soon as Jiang Cheng heard him mention his father, his eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Go away! Let me see you again, I'll call a bunch of dogs to bite you!"

Wei Wuxian stood at the door, and when he heard that he was going to call for a dog to bite him, he was scared for a while, twisted his hands, and hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go, don't call a dog!"

He dragged the thrown mat and quilt and ran out of the corridor. Not long after coming to Lotus Dock, he was embarrassed to jump up and down everywhere so quickly, and he didn't know the road or room, let alone dare

But the more he lay down, the louder Jiang Cheng's sentence "I called a bunch of dogs to bite you" became, and the more Wei Wuxian thought about it, the more frightened he became, arching in the quilt and turning over and over, listening to any wind and grass, he felt like a group of dogs quietly came over, struggling for a while, feeling that this place could not stay any longer, he jumped up and rolled up the mat, stacked the quilt, and escaped from the lotus dock. After running in the night wind for a while, I saw a tree, and without thinking, I climbed up, holding the trunk with my hands and feet, and felt that it was very high, and then I was a little relieved.

I don't know how long I hugged the tree, and suddenly I heard someone in the distance softly calling his name.

The voice got closer and closer, and a girl in white walked up with a lantern. Wei Wuxian recognized that this was Jiang Cheng's sister and remained silent, hoping that she would not find out. Who knows, Jiang Yanli said: "Is it Ah Ying? What are you doing running up there?"

Wei Wuxian remained silent. Jiang Yanli raised the lantern, looked up and said, "I saw you." Your shoes fell under a tree. ”

Wei Wuxian glanced at his left foot, and then exclaimed, "My shoes!"

Jiang Yanli said: "Come down, let's go back." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "I'...... I don't go down, there are dogs. ”

Jiang Yanli said: "That's Ah Cheng lied to you, there is no dog." You don't have a place to sit, and your hands will be sore and will fall off. ”

No matter what she said, Wei Wuxian just couldn't come down holding the trunk, Jiang Yanli was afraid that he would fall, put the lantern under the tree, stretched out his hands and stood under the tree, didn't dare to leave, stalemate for a stick of incense, Wei Wuxian's hand finally became sore, let go of the trunk, and fell.

Jiang Yanli hurriedly went to pick it up, but Wei Wuxian still fell hard, rolled a few times, hugged his leg and screamed, "My leg is broken!"

Jiang Yanli comforted: "It's not broken, it shouldn't be broken, it's just a little painful...... I'll carry you back. ”

She picked up Wei Wuxian's shoes under the tree and said, "Why did the shoes fall off?

Wei Wuxian held back the tears of pain and hurriedly said, "No, it fits." ”

In fact, it doesn't fit, it's bigger. But this was the first new pair of shoes that Jiang Fengmian had bought for him, and Wei Wuxian was embarrassed to trouble him to buy another pair, so he didn't say anything big.

Under the fence, the most fearful thing is to cause trouble to others.

Jiang Yanli helped him put on his shoes, pinched the tips of his shoes, and said, "It's a little bigger, I'll go back and change it with you." ”

When Wei Wuxian heard this, he always felt that he had done something wrong again, and he was a little uneasy.

Jiang Yanli picked him up on his back, walked back with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and said, "Ah Ying, no matter what Ah Cheng told you just now, don't worry about him." He himself often played alone at home, and he liked the dogs the most, and he was saddened to be sent away. In fact, he was very happy to have someone to accompany him. You ran out and didn't go back for a long time, he was worried that something had happened to you, and he was in a hurry to wake me up, so I came out to find it. ”

Jiang Yanli was actually only two or three years older than him, he was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, but he spoke like a little adult very naturally, obviously he was also a child, but he had been coaxing children. Her body was very thin, very delicate, and she didn't have much strength, and she shook it from time to time, and she had to stop and hold Wei Wuxian's thigh to prevent him from slipping down.

However, Wei Wuxian felt unparalleled peace of mind as he lay on her back. It's even more reassuring than sitting on Jiang Fengmian's arm.

Suddenly, a whining cry was blown by the night wind.

Jiang Yanli trembled in fright and said, "What sound?

Wei Wuxian pointed his hand and said, "I heard it, it came from that pit!"

The two of them walked around to the edge of the pit and cautiously looked down. There was a small figure lying at the bottom of the pit, and when he raised his face, the plaster on his face was washed out by tears.

The man choked up and said, "...... Sister. ”

Jiang Yanli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Cheng, didn't I ask you to call someone to come out and look for it?"

Jiang Cheng just shook his head.

After Jiang Yan left, he waited for a while, couldn't sit still, and simply chased him out by himself. Who knew that he ran too fast, and forgot to bring a lantern, and fell halfway, fell into the bottom of a pit, and broke his head.

Jiang Yanli reached out and pulled his brother up from the pit, and took out a handkerchief and put it on his bleeding forehead. Jiang Cheng's expression was sluggish, and his black eyes secretly glanced at Wei Wuxian. Jiang Yanli said: "Do you have something that you didn't say to Ah Ying?"

Jiang Cheng pressed the handkerchief on his forehead and said in a low voice: "...... I'm sorry. ”

Jiang Yanli said: "I'll help Ah Ying take the mat and quilt back later, okay?"

Jiang Cheng sniffed and said, "I've already taken it back." ”

Both of them were injured in their legs and couldn't walk, there was still some distance away from the Lotus Dock at this time, Jiang Yanli had to carry one on his back and one in his arms, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng both put their arms around her neck, she was tired and panting after walking a few steps, and said, "What should you let me do." ”

Eventually, she took a step at a time to transport her two younger brothers back to Lotus Dock, waking up the doctor softly, and thanking Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng after he had finished bandaging them.

Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Wuxian's feet with a nervous expression. If it was known by other protégés or domestic servants and reached Jiang Fengmian's ears, Jiang Fengmian would dislike him even more if he knew that he threw Wei Wuxian's mat out. This is also why he only dared to chase him out by himself just now, and did not dare to sue others.

Wei Wuxian said, "Don't worry, I won't sue Uncle Jiang." It was a sudden desire to go out and climb a tree at night, which is why I got hurt. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and swore: "Don't worry, I will help you drive away the dog when you see it in the future!"

Seeing that the two had finally reached a friendly agreement, Jiang Yanli said happily: "That's how it should be." ”

After tossing for a long time, the two of them were also hungry. Jiang Yanli went to the kitchen by himself and warmed a bowl of lotus root pork rib soup for one of them.

The aroma lingers in the heart and lingers to this day.

Wei Wuxian squatted in the courtyard, put the empty bowl of soup on the ground, looked at the starry night sky for a while, and smiled slightly.

Today, he and Lan Wangji met by chance on the balcony of Lanling, and he tried very hard to create the same atmosphere as when he was studying in the past, and kept bringing the topic to those things in the past.

And Lan Wangji kept stubbornly reminding him that he couldn't go back.

However, as long as he returned to Lotus Dock and returned to the Jiang family's sisters and brothers, he could have the illusion that nothing had changed.

Wei Wuxian suddenly wanted to find the tree he had hugged back then.

He stood up and walked towards the outside of the Lotus Dock. The protégés along the road saluted him respectfully and nodded, all of them unfamiliar faces. The monkey-like juniors and disciples he was familiar with, and the domestic servants who would frown and refuse to salute honestly, were gone.

Passing through the school yard and stepping out of the gate of Lotus Dock, there is a wide pier.

Day or night, there are always food vendors on the pier. I don't know what it is today, the oil in the pot is fried, and the fragrance is overflowing, Wei Wuxian couldn't help but walk over, and was about to ask, when he suddenly found that next to this peddler, there was a dirty person squatting.

The man was shivering with his knees in his hands, and seemed cold and tired. Wei Wuxian's shadow fell, and the man jerked his head up.

Wei Wuxian's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "You?"
