Imagining Xuan Mo walking towards him with a cold face, wearing a human white wedding dress, wearing a veil, and holding a bouquet of flowers, Lan Xi couldn't help but shiver.

…… It's terrible, there is wood!

Therefore, in the face of the eldest sister's eager gaze, Lan Xi held back a sentence for a long time: "I...... I'm afraid not. "Although I think it's a good choice to live with Xuanmo, but there is still so much time in the future, who can say for sure?

Lancey has never been a scumbag who makes promises casually.

Fortunately, the eldest sister didn't delve into this sentence, just smiled slightly, leaning on the railing, the breeze ruffled the ends of her hair, and in this deep night, her eyes cast into the distance, as if she was remembering something.

Lancy sat silently on the side, not disturbed, his body was a little dehydrated, and he silently picked up a cup of coffee. At the same time, the eldest sister's words drifted into his ears with the night wind-

"I know you're not human......"

Burst.

Lan Xi squirted out what had not yet been swallowed in his mouth without any image, took out a drawing paper to wipe his mouth, and his eyes widened: "Sister, why are you scolding me!" ”

What exactly did he do? Why aren't you human?

The little melancholy that had finally brewed was completely dissipated by Lan Xi's words, and the eldest sister of the Zhuo family couldn't cry or laugh: "You ......"

She suddenly didn't know what to say!

Since she was a child, her family did not hide from her about the difference between Xuanmo and herself, she was surprised and curious when she first learned about Xuanmo's identity, and now she fully accepts it, this process has taken her several years.

This is still due to growing up with Xuanmo!

She thought that she was already very receptive, but she never thought that the little guy in front of her would actually ...... Well, so adaptable to their own human identity.

Is it better to say that the other party is vigilant or witty?

Sister Zhuo held back a smile, simply opened her words in Lan Xi's frightened eyes, and then slowly talked about the past.

If you talk about the relationship between the Zhuo family and Xuanmo, you have to go back to Ming Chen's grandfather's generation.

At that time, it was a special period after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the prominence of the Zhuo family before liberation became a □□ they were criticized and opposed at that time. The caps were detained, the property on which the whole family depended was confiscated, and the natural disasters caused the whole family to survive.

As the only male in the family, although his father was weak, he also took the initiative to stand up and carry the banner of the family's livelihood.

However, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

When you are down, there is always no shortage of villains who come to fall into the well. Under the deliberate calculation of others, my grandfather got lost and was trapped in the mountains and forests in the wilderness.

When he couldn't get out and couldn't find a water source, my grandfather noticed that not far from the mountain forest, there was a black thing coiled together, and its body was undulating, as if it was breathing.

When he got closer, it was a monster he had never seen before! When you look closely, the dragon's head and wolf body, with horns at the top, are exactly the gluttony mentioned in ancient books!

"So did grandfather save Xuanmo?" Lancey couldn't help but interject and asked.

"No......" Sister Zhuo was serious, "Grandfather was frightened, turned around and ran, and finally ran out of the woods by mistake." ”

Lanxi: "......", how can this grandfather's painting style be a little familiar?

After running out of the forest, my grandfather became sympathetic again. He saw that the gluttony was not chasing, and he was afraid that it would be seen by other people and greedy, so after hesitating, he finally went back and picked up Xuanmo, hid it in his clothes and carried it home. ”

Wait, Lan Xi suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important point - it turned out that Xuanmo from decades ago, was he so well-behaved?

The eldest sister of the Zhuo family also seemed to be aware of his doubts, and explained: "I listened to my grandfather, and then I went home and took Xuan Mo out to take a look, it turned out that this guy was seriously injured and had no way to move at all. Later, his grandfather also said that fortunately he had a thought that suddenly flashed at that time, otherwise there would be no Zhuo family now. ”

…… Gluttony hidden in the bosom.

…… Xuanmo held in his hand.

Lancy could instantly imagine what the other party looked like at that time!

Small, pocket-sized ......

Hey, when I think about it, I feel a little rubbed!

The story continues, but Lancy can almost guess what the eldest sister will say later-

"So, after Xuan Mo's injuries are healed, will he help you get rid of the bad guys and get through the difficulties?"

"Nope."

Sister Zhuo's eyes became complicated again, "I heard my grandfather say that Xuanmo had a lot of food at that time and ate a lot. So in order to support him, the whole family is busy......"

Lanxi's eyes straightened: "So it's not that you picked up a helper, but that you're one more burden?" ”

The eldest sister laughed happily, and her eyes were full of happy memories: "I also asked this question at that time. ”

"My grandfather's answer to me at the time was only one sentence, 'He is a sweet burden', I didn't understand it before, and I didn't slowly realize the meaning until I was older," Ming Chen looked at Lan Xi, "At that time, what Xuanmo brought them was actually the courage to live." ”

If they don't get through, what will happen to this little glutton?

If they are immersed in sorrow and resentment, as they have done before, where will they find their gluttonous rations today?

It was with the support of such seemingly absurd reasons that the family survived those dark years without ...... And many scholars ended their lives in general.

Eventually, they survived.

An unprecedented emotion slapped at Lanxi's heart, and he was stunned for a moment before he continued: "Then, aren't they afraid of him?" ”

He hadn't forgotten yet, and the moment he knew the prototype of Xuanmo, he was scared to death. Afraid that the other party would eat him, he didn't want to die.

The eldest sister was silent for a while, then turned her face and said seriously: "He is our relative, how can he hurt us?" ”

Lancey was stunned.

yes, dear...... It's not the same.

Then, is he also Xuan Mo's relative? Reaching out and touching her beating heart, Lancey had come to a conclusion—

Yes, right?

・

When he returned home, Lancey had a check from his eldest sister in his pocket.

That's enough money for him to squander for a long time.

To be honest, as a turtle fish who has never seen any big money, it is the first time he has seen such a large amount!

shirked the kindness of the eldest sister, but was blocked back by a domineering sentence from the other party: "With the relationship between you and Xuanmo, what is this money?" ”

Lancey was confused.

He and Xuanmo ...... What is the relationship?

It seems that after listening to the eldest sister talk about the Zhuo family's past, the other party has completely regarded him as his own - so it is very refreshing to give pocket money.

Just as he was about to say something more, the second wave of the eldest sister's attack arrived: "Do you still think that you can't afford to pay back this little money in the future?" ”

Lancey: ......

As a male fish, can he say that he can't!

Picking up the check, he was told by the eldest sister to "stop cooperating with magazines like "Color", lest lowering the style is not conducive to future development", Lancy had to nod obediently.

"Study hard, one step at a time. Learn to be a person first, and then learn to do things. Money is always there. First of all, you have to improve your abilities......"

This bowl of thick chicken soup, Lanxi only dried it sincerely.

"So," the eldest sister put on her sunglasses, "I'll help you get back the negatives of "Color." Don't rush to become famous just yet, at least after the college entrance examination. ”

…… It's so easy, you're coming back?

This is the first time that Lanxi has directly felt the edge of Sister Zhuo.

"By the way, what did they do to you?" The eldest sister asked casually, and everywhere she went, all eyes in the café moved with her.

Lancey wondered what to say.

“…… If you don't like it, let them close the door. The eldest sister finished the next sentence.

Lancey ...... Lancey knelt down.

The domineering female president is really unbearable! Is it really good to be so willful?

"No, no need, big sister." The corners of Lancey's mouth twitched.

Until he walked out of the café, Lancey could still hear the argument coming from behind-

"Didn't you say there was no one on the top floor? Why don't you let us go up? Didn't you hear my wife want to go up and blow the wind? ”

"I'm sorry, that's Zhuo Dong's exclusive position. Not open to the public. ”

……

Pushing open the door, Lanxi changed his shoes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xuanmo sitting on the sofa. The TV was on, and a talent show was broadcasting.

"I'm back!" After this magical day, Lancey's mood was inexplicably good enough to fly.

Xuan Mo raised his head and glanced at him. Then he turned his head back to the TV.

"At this point, you should say, 'Welcome back.'" Lancy corrected seriously.

But after saying that, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, how did this conversation look like a daily life between husband and wife......

Fortunately, Xuan Mo didn't pick up his stubble, moved forward silently, and slammed off the TV.

Lancey blinked.

――Xuan Mo's behavior will easily give him the illusion that "the other party is waiting for him", eh?

And the strange thing is that the other party didn't even ask him where he went, and there was no other superfluous expression, and the whole person seemed extraordinary...... Wrong.

"What's wrong?" Lancey asked cautiously.

Xuan Mo turned his head sideways: "It's nothing." ”

"You know what! I met my eldest sister today......"

Xuan Mo took two steps forward, pushed open the door of the study, and turned on the light. The light sprinkled down and shrouded Xuan Mo's body, making it difficult to observe his expression.

"Come in." He said lightly.

- Huh?

Lancey followed through the door with a confused expression.

The next second, he saw Xuan Mo sit down, pointed to the mock test paper on the table and said to him, "Do the question." ”

He looked down at his watch and added, "Two hours for a limited time." ”

Lancey: ...... Depend on.

He worked hard to make money to buy birthday gifts for each other, in exchange for this treatment!

With his arms twisted around his thighs, Lancey sat down indignantly and buried his head in the test paper.

Xuan Mo stared at the hand in his hand, unable to read a word for a long time. He remembered the phone call from his eldest sister just now.

…… For the first time, I was looking forward to my birthday.
