Ye Qi had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to the modern day.

Like a wandering spirit, he unconsciously came to a very beautiful villa, and then ......

He was imprisoned here.

Never to leave again.

He began to cry out, hoping that someone would see him—

It's fine to have only one.

However, no one.

In addition to the disappointment, there was not much sadness unexpectedly, as if the hazy and half-dreaming of a dream made his senses become unreal.

…… No, he was in a dream.

It seems that he has this kind of cognition for granted, except for the depression at the beginning, he leisurely admires every part of this villa.

The villa is huge, and what he likes most is the floor-to-ceiling windows where he can see the sunset.

The transparent glass is like crystal, in the faint evening sun, reflecting an extremely beautiful light, standing by the window, at a glance, the sunset is in full view, elegant and charming.

The quiet color of punctuality every day has become the only mark engraved by time in Ye Qi's eyes.

Then, there was a man who came.

There was a slight cracking sound, and he turned his head to meet a pair of deep, dull eyes.

"You...... Who is it? ”

Ye Qi's pupils widened slightly, and the words falling from his lips became the only proof that he existed.

"You...... You can see me! ……”

The next moment the words fell, his translucent figure completely dissipated.

It's like a fantasy.

It's unreal.

It's unreal......

“……”

The man was silent for a long time, stretched out his fingertips that couldn't help trembling, covered his face, and hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, three points sarcasm, three parts exhaustion, three points coldness and one point sadness.

"I saw it again...... It's just a dream......"

……

The moment Ye Qi woke up, the piercing pain repeated like a shadow, and his somewhat confused vision immediately became clear, and a moan couldn't help but leak from his lips.

Almost a second later, a broad body approached him, warm fingertips carefully inserted between his lips, relieving his scabbed and bitten lip flap.

He half-closed his eyes, and his bandaged throat made a broken and rough sound: "Lin, An? There was a bit of uncertainty at the end of the voice.

"Yes." The person in front of him nodded faintly, if it weren't for the hand that Fang had just withdrawn, he wouldn't have seen how precious he was to the person in front of him.

Hearing Lin An's response, Ye Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and had some doubts in his heart, the other party was really Lin An, so how did he become like this, and in the memory of "himself"...... Completely different.

The handsome and fair face that used to look like a handsome boy has become dark, and his eyebrows have not changed much, but there is more fortitude and some other things in his eyes than before.

Also, temperament.

The warm breath can't be found everywhere, and there is an indescribable chilling momentum around the body, this kind of temperament, Ye Qi has seen in a modern special soldier - however, it is less than one thousandth of Lin An's.

This is, bloody gas.

Lin sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and let Ye Qi look at it.

It's like, the day he left.

The light in his eyes dimmed a little, and when he saw Ye Qiqiang supporting his body to sit up, he immediately reached out to support him and put the cushion behind him.

Ye Qi sat down, endured the stinging pain in his throat and said, "You went to join the army?" ”

"Yes." It was still a faint response, but his gaze had been focused on Ye Qi.

Ye Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The change is so big, I almost can't recognize it." ”

Hearing this, Lin An's gaze that had been hanging on Ye Qi's shirt finally met him, and in his dark eyes was Ye Qiqing's gaze that seemed to have no trace of popularity, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly but seriously: "It's good that I recognize you." ”

Ye Qi wanted to pull the corners of his mouth higher, so as to express his friend's happiness at his sincere words, but the pain on his face like a knife reminded him all the time how ugly his face was, even if he smiled, I am afraid it would be stiff and twisted like a ghost.

What's more, his acting skills are not good, even if his face is fine, the hypocritical smile he makes, I am afraid that the person in front of him will see through it at a glance, so thinking about it, this injury is just right - so he gave up.

The curvature of the thin lips became straight again, and only the slightly curled corners of the lips showed how much the man loved to laugh before.

"I'm very happy...... It's true. ”

"Yes."

Ye Qi sighed, looked sideways at the half-open window, the elegant bamboo forest, and the voices of people in the distance. It's not a barracks, it's not a Bodhi Temple, it's an inn in the middle of nowhere.

"Anyway, I thank you."

Thank you for saving me.

From the hands of Wang Kai...... From the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

Lin An didn't speak this time, and Ye Qi also reached out and stroked the white ribbon on his throat, lowering his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking. The two of them sat in silence until there was a knock on the door.

"Will, my lord, the medicine is ready."

Lin An stood up, opened the door, and walked outside to say something to the man who came over with the medicine, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

Ye Qi half-closed his eyes and looked at the hands that looked extremely weak, clenched his fists, and the gradually dissipating power in his body announced the timing of his life.

Even if he was rescued, the scorching flames still hurt the roots, not to mention his body that was about to collapse, in the body of the Bodhi Temple...... It is estimated that it is also dying.

Even if—even if he was rescued, would he die......

Ye Qi clenched his fists and slammed it heavily on the bed, the pain that penetrated his heart made Ye Qi slowly exhale.

He didn't want to die - at least now, having just escaped from the fire, he wanted to live!

Even if he becomes a demon, he has to live!

"What's wrong with your hand!" Lin An frowned and looked at his red and swollen right hand, put the end plate in his hand on the low table on the side, and picked up Ye Qi's hand to take a closer look.

"Don't look at it, it's just a small injury, it's nothing." Ye Qi pulled out his hand and said coldly.

Now his heart is full of depression, and his tone is unconsciously colder.

Lin An was unconscious, picked up the medicine bowl, and handed it to Ye Qi: "Let's drink the medicine first." ”

Ye Qi glanced at him deeply, but as a result, the medicine directly raised his head and drank it, and the tip of his tongue was paralyzed in one go, and he licked his lips before saying, "You obviously know that this medicine is useless to me." ”

"You have to give it a try." Seeing that Ye Qi drank the medicine, Lin An's face softened a lot, and it overlapped with the previous shadow a little.

Ye Qi glanced at him, and then looked around: "Here, how far is it from Bodhi Temple?" ”

Lin An's movements paused, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Zhuohua, we can't go back to Bodhi Temple for the time being. ”

"Why?"

"King Wen sent people to surround the Bodhi Temple, if you go back at this time." It's no different from a sheep entering a wolf's mouth.

"Then what if I say," Ye Qi sat up straight, "I must go back?" ”

Lin An: "...... Zhuohua, I know you're worried about you...... But I asked people to see it, and no one doubted the peach blossom tree, and besides, the abbot just said that you are the benefactor of the Bodhi Temple temporarily, so ......"

"I said I wanted to go back!" The hoarse voice was a little sharp.

“…… You rest first, and then talk about it when you get better. After Lin An finished speaking, he picked up the tray and turned to leave.

Ye Qi looked at Lin An silently, and waited until the latter opened the door, and the low murmuring voice happened to reach the man's ears: "It's okay, my body is ......"

Lin An's footsteps stopped.

"I said, Lin An," Ye Qi turned his head to look at the person with his back to him, and his feelings suddenly calmed down, and he changed to another topic, "You like me." ”

Lin An turned around with the tray, revealing a helpless and reassuring smile: "Did you hear something in Kyoto, it's all ......"

"I haven't heard of it," Ye Qi smiled lightly, "I know, you liked me for a long time." ”

"You think too much......" Lin An seemed even more helpless.

"Yes, but I like you very much, friends." As if ignoring Lin An's silence, Ye Qi continued, "Then why, as soon as I tell you that I like it, you seem to want to go somewhere else?" ”

"I'm ...... to you, too" among friends......

"You know what? I went to Kyoto to find you, so I left with Wang Kai, but there I entered a bureau set up by someone else...... I thought you had forgotten about me, and even said in a contemptuous and teasing tone that you wanted to taste me or something......"

At that time, "myself" was so stupid, such an obvious game, he jumped in like that and directly sentenced his only friend to death.

He will not hesitate to believe the words of others, and when he is hurt, he will want to kill all the people who hurt him-so, naïve and cruel, Peach Blossom Demon!

"At that time, I thought, ah, human beings are really dirty, such a 'friend' should be ruined, probably like this, at that time, my eyes turned red, and because of this, others found out the identity of the monster...... And then, as you have seen, tied to a pillar and scorched by the fire, until you come...... Seriously, I hated you until the moment you came......"

Why betray him, if it weren't for his betrayal, he wouldn't have come to this point......

No one will find out that it is a youkai......

At that time, my "self" was full of this kind of thought.

“…… Think, why don't you die. ”

Ye Qi looked up at Lin An, who had not spoken, and his clear peach blossom eyes were almost overflowing with self-deprecation.

"Now it seems...... Damn it, it's me. ”

"What you said about it, it's all in the past." After Lin An spoke, he found that his voice was hoarse and almost faster than that of Shang Ye Qi.

"There is no past...... It's not in the past, you're already impatient with me, right? Ye Qi swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, his numb tongue made his words a little unfluent, and he couldn't think of any expression, so he simply lowered his eyes and didn't look at Lin An, and didn't make any expression.

"Yes, after all, I ......"

A pair of hands covered Ye Qi's cheeks, forcing him to raise his head, a kiss gently fell on his forehead, his pupils couldn't help but dilate, and he looked at Lin An who was close at hand in a daze.

"You win, I like you." Lin An and Ye Qi's foreheads touched their foreheads, and the breath they spit out fell on Ye Qi's lips, "It's the love between men and women, it's the love that wants to kiss you." ”

So, stop saying those things again, stop saying them......

"Can you tell me, why do you have to go back to Bodhi Temple?"

Ye Qi was stunned by Lin An's gentle expression, and said slightly stiffly: "Because if I don't return to Bodhi Temple, I will die." ”

Lin An's eyes sank, and the unconsciously increased force in his hand made Ye Qi take a breath in pain, and Lin An immediately let go apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine." didn't touch the aching cheek, Ye Qi was glad that the pain brought him back to his senses, compared to the gentle son of the family, it seems that the tenderness of the iron man is more moving.

"In that case...... Then we will set off tomorrow to rush to Bodhi Temple. Lin An asked Ye Qi to rest well, recuperate his spirits, pad the quilt for him, and then get up and leave.

The subordinates waiting outside the door bowed their heads respectfully: "My lord." ”

Lin An handed him the plates and bowls, and his cold voice was a world difference compared to Ye Qi: "Let people go down and prepare the carriage, and tomorrow we will leave for Bodhi Temple." ”

"Yes." The subordinate responded, and suddenly felt that the feeling was wrong, and he lowered his head and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw two deep fingerprints on the tray.

In the room, Ye Qi touched his forehead, his eyes flickered, he sighed softly, closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

The numbness on the tip of the tongue and the boiling heat in the throat that has not yet dissipated, but the decoction flowing into the stomach makes people shiver coldly.

Lin An, do you really like him?

If you really like it, then why didn't you even pay attention to the temperature of the medicine......

……
