Bai Mingqiu got up early in the morning.

After a little freshening, a set of fists, and then a dozen copper plates from the drawer and put them in his sleeve pockets, he walked in the direction of the man.

Today he is going to go to the Eternal Pavilion, some time ago because of the matter of Shouya Shrine, he was busy and didn't take care of it, and now that he thinks about it, he has already missed the appointment with Yayi Yonglin.

Breach of contract is always bad, Bai Mingqiu thought, Princess Kaguya has a lot of research on flower arrangement, so it should be good to buy some flowers by herself and talk about compensation.

Mei Hong was noncommittal about the warming of her relationship with Forever Pavilion, according to her words, "I know the most about Hui Ye, seeing that she is holding a princess shelf, high up, in fact, she has a tendon very much, there is no scheming, and Eternal Pavilion is more dangerous is Bayi Yonglin." Since Bayi took the initiative to show favor to you, according to her temperament, no matter what she was thinking behind her back, she would definitely not show it on the surface. And it's only going to be more courteous to you. ”

Then Mei Hong rarely chattered and said a lot, which probably means that Forever Pavilion must be a weasel to you to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, you must be careful yourself, I will quarrel with Kaguya's mother-in-law as soon as I go, so don't call me in the future.

Bai Mingqiu said in his heart Actually, I think you and Kaguya have a good relationship in addition to often fighting life and death, anyway, you can't die, this process of fighting life and death may be an alternative way to cultivate feelings.

But he didn't dare to say this in front of Mei Hong, Mei Hong would never admit it and would definitely be very angry.

According to the convention, if you go to Renli, you have to say hello to Huiyin first.

Bai Mingqiu's feet were very fast, and when he arrived in the people, he bought two hot dumplings for breakfast, and then said in his heart that he would bring something for Huiyin, so he bought another cake and held it in his arms.

Huiyin rarely cooks herself, so she rarely cooks breakfast. She gets up early, but she gets up to read, and then goes out to buy some before class, or simply doesn't eat, anyway, as a big monster, it doesn't matter if she eats breakfast or not.

When he had eaten the dumplings almost, the temple house was also close in front of him.

"Huiyin, I'm here."

Bai Mingqiu walked in the door casually and saw Huiyin reading in the courtyard.

It was very early now, and he knew that this point was not the class time of the temple house, otherwise he would have come in quietly.

Huiyin had already heard the familiar footsteps outside the door, but today's book was not finished, so she pressed her mind and finished reading the book.

Bai Mingqiu saw Huiyin reading and said with a smile: "What are you looking at today?" ”

"A biography of Europa, I feel very interesting." Huiyin replied.

"Europe, well, I remember going around the world the year before last, and it was beautiful." Bai Mingqiu recalled.

"You told me about it before."

Huiyin flipped the book halfway, took a bookmark, put it away, and got up.

"Mingqiu, have you had breakfast, I cooked some porridge, and it was a lot."

"I've eaten it, eh, you can make it yourself. I told you I brought you a loaf of bread. ”

Huiyin smiled: "Thank you, but today a child's parents told me that they had something to go out in the morning and didn't have time to make breakfast, so I asked the child to come early and made some for her, and by the way, I also made my own share." ”

Bai Mingqiu showed a slightly regretful expression: "It's rare to prepare breakfast for Huiyin, you see, it's still covered." ”

Huiyin was very happy when she saw the cake in Bai Mingqiu's arms, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

She approached and gently hugged Bai Mingqiu, and the temperature of the pancake warmed her body.

"What's the matter today?" Huiyin leaned her head on Bai Mingqiu's chest and asked softly.

"Buy some flowers and take them to the Eternal Pavilion, I haven't visited for a long time."

Bai Mingqiu sniffed, Huiyin's silver-white hair was fragrant, he couldn't help but rub it, and felt very comfortable.

Huiyin rubbed it, then let go of her hand, and said softly: "Be careful." ”

Bai Mingqiu nodded.

Huiyin suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Mingqiu, help me borrow a book, I saw it last time when I was at the Vientiane Exhibition in the Moon Capital, I will write the title of the book to you, and you can give it to Your Excellency Bayi." ”

Huiyin took a pen and paper, wrote down a book title that looked very esoteric, and then handed it to Bai Mingqiu.

Bai Mingqiu held it in his arms and said, "Then bring it to you when the sister Hong family meets tonight, go have breakfast, I'll go." ”

Huiyin sent Bai Mingqiu to the door, and then watched him disappear at the end of the road.

She recalled the warm feeling just now, and her face burned slightly.

"Teacher~"

A child ran over in the distance, Huiyin looked up, smiled gracefully, and took the child's hand.

―――――――――

You can see the signboard of the sunflower shop in the distance, because it was carved by Bai Mingqiu himself, so it is very impressive.

"Aoi, are you there?"

Bai Mingqiu walked to the door of the store, the store was open, the placement of flowers and plants was the same as when he came before, there was no one on the first floor, and the clear sky light shone in from the window at the other end.

Every time I come to this flower shop, I always feel quiet for no reason.

There was a sound of footsteps on the second floor, and it was a girl who was going downstairs lightly.

"Bai Mingqiu."

The girl who didn't apply powder walked up to Bai Mingqiu and whispered.

Bai Mingqiu said softly: "It's me, I'm here to buy flowers from you again." You're up early. ”

"Yes." Aoi's answer was as quiet as ever.

She tilted her head slightly and asked, "What flowers do you want?" ”

"Last time, do you remember?" Bai Mingqiu said with a smile.

Because of a certain unique temperament, he was very impressed by the girl named Aoi, and he wondered if Aoi remembered him.

"Last time it was seeds." Aoi stretched out her small hand and pulled her fingers, "Violet, sunflower, bellflower, thirty each." ”

Bai Mingqiu got the answer, and he was a little happy in his heart.

"This time, just ask for flowers, three kinds of purple, violet, bellflower, iris, five branches each."

"This time."

Bai Mingqiu knew that Aoi was referring to violet.

"How much." He pulled out his money bag.

The girl stretched out three fingers: "Three." ”

It's very cheap, Bai Mingqiu took three copper plates and handed them to Aoi, she casually threw them on the table on the side, and then took flowers for Bai Mingqiu.

Looking at the busy back of Aoi among the flowers, Bai Mingqiu was in a trance.

That day, it was raining, and she was also a young girl, holding a parasol alone, stopping in the flowers.

The girl's back looked lonely, but it wasn't lonely, it was an indescribable state, as if... It was as if she was born a single, distinct, detached being, with one in her concept, but no two, or anything else.

Only one.

Bai Mingqiu didn't understand, so that night, he stopped in front of the window for a long time, he was attracted by that inexplicable love, and stared at that back for a long time.

"Bai Mingqiu?"

Aoi stood in front of Bai Mingqiu and interrupted Bai Mingqiu's thoughts in a slightly questioning tone.

"Alright."

"Thank you, Aoi." Bai Mingqiu came back to his senses.

After taking the flower, Bai Mingqiu put the money bag back in his arms, and his hand just touched the cake in his arms, so he asked, "Aoi, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Nope." The girl said lightly.

"Do you have any favorite breakfast?" Bai Mingqiu didn't know if Aoi liked to eat cakes.

Aoi shook her head in the negative.

She thought about it again and said softly, "The soup is delicious." ”

I love to drink soup in the morning, and it's good to eat some cakes when I drink soup.

Bai Mingqiu said with a smile: "Oh, I bought an extra cake in the morning, you can take it and eat it with soup." ”

As he spoke, he took out the pancake from his bosom and handed it to Aoi.

Aoi hesitated for a moment and took it.

"Thank you, Bai Mingqiu."

"No, I don't have to. The flowers are beautiful and will come back next time. ”

Bai Mingqiu smiled and waved his hand at Aoi and turned to leave.

Aoi was holding a pancake that still had residual warmth, and there was still the temperature of Bai Mingqiu on it.

She walked up to a sunflower, stretched out her hand, and stroked it gently.

"This time, I tell you, the soup you made is delicious."

Sunflower tilted her head slightly, as if in response to her touch, very obedient.

"Bai Mingqiu."

The girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, illuminating a qiē fragrance.
