I haven't seen Xia Ning for some days, and my master has been avoiding me lately, and somehow, I always have a bad premonition in my heart......

The weather gradually warmed up, I pushed open the window, the early morning wind, cool, mixed with the fragrance of the earth, made people feel refreshed.

The warm sun was rising, and golden beams of light shone through the treetops.

I reached out and tried to grasp the warmth, but I couldn't. Yes, this warm sun is a gift from the gods to the world, how can I enjoy it exclusively?

I walked out of the house and walked around the courtyard, enjoying the warm sunshine, my sleeves fluttering with the breeze, as if I was a goddess left behind in the world, feeling this temporary happiness alone.

Suddenly! A touch of fresh green attracted me, and it was the peach tree that sent out the buds!

I happily ran to the tree, looked at the bud as if it were a new life, and tapped it with my fingertips. It should be the first green in this courtyard, bringing a little life to the bare branches.

Is spring coming?

"Bridge."

I turned around, and it was the master.

"Master!".

I happily ran over, tugged at the master's sleeve, and said, "What has the master been busy with lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”

The master smiled, sat down on the stone bench, and said, "I remember the first time I saw you, you were only so tall. ”

The master stretched out his hand, gestured to the side, and I sat down on the stone bench and said, "Qiao'er was only four years old at that time!" ”

"Hehehe! You were naughty when you were a child, when General An asked me to teach you martial arts, but you always didn't study hard! ”

I said aggrievedly: "Daddy too, let my daughter's family learn what to do......"

The master laughed, "If you're a man, that's a big deal!" ”

I pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that in the eyes of the master, Qiao'er is very stubborn? ”

The master laughed, but gradually ...... The smile on his face was lost again.

"General An has the grace of knowing me, back then, if it weren't for General An, my ambition would have nowhere to show, and I could follow General An to win so many battles, this life ...... Enough! ”

"Okay, why did the master suddenly talk about this?"

With tears in his eyes, the master sighed, "Qiao'er is now a big girl, and as a teacher, she is also old!" ”

"Master! What are you talking about! Qiao'er is getting more and more incomprehensible! ”

"I'm afraid the master won't see the day you get married......"

I took my master's arm and said, "How so? The master will definitely live a long life! ”

The master smiled and said, "A hundred years old? That's not an old monster! ”

"What a youkai! If you can live to be 100 years old, that's Renrui! The master will definitely live a long life! Qiao'er will take good care of the master! ”

"Hehehe! You're ......."

Then the master said, "This man is dead...... It's enough to live this age for the teacher! ”

"Master! Why do you keep saying strange things? ”

The master smiled, "Fortunately, Qiao'er has grown up, and there are people around him who can be trusted, so I don't need the master to take care of it......"

"Master, Qiao'er hasn't grown up yet, Qiao'er must always be by the master's side! If there is no master, Qiao'er will not live alone......"

The master suddenly interrupted me, "Can't ......!" ”

I looked at the master in surprise, and the master said in a soothing tone, "You are not allowed to say such things again in the future, you know?" ”

I nodded.

"Master! See! ”

I ran to the peach tree and pointed to the sprouts on the branches.

"The peach tree is sprouting new leaves, and spring is coming!"

The master smiled and said, "Yes! Spring is coming! ”

That day, I talked a lot to my master.

The master told me an interesting story when I was a child, saying that I used to be very naughty, and I was a crybaby, and I always loved to get into trouble when I entered the palace, and also said that I loved to eat sweet and greasy osmanthus cake when I was a child, but eating too much sweet and greasy food is not good for the body, so the master will always add some herbs to the osmanthus cake to get rid of greasy, so that it tastes sweet and refreshing.

Somehow, when I heard the master talk about these past events, I couldn't help but feel lost. Since my father passed away, my master has been my only relative.

I asked the master about his future plans, and the master said that he wanted to go to the maple forest, guard the prince's brother, and never ask about the world.

I asked the master to follow me to the Xia Kingdom, but the master refused.

The master said that I was going to marry after all, and it was impossible for me to follow me for the rest of my life as an old man......

The master did all this for me, and I had nothing to repay his old man.

"What are you thinking?"

As soon as I heard Xia Ning's voice, I was still staring blankly ahead.

"A few days ago, the master said a lot of strange things to me, which reminded me of my childhood and my father."

Xia Ning sat down across from me and said, "Really? You must have been naughty as a child! ”

I glared at him, then turned my face away from him.

"I asked the master to go to Xia Kingdom with us, but the old man refused."

"Sir...... Maybe he has his own plans! ”

"However, if the master is not there, I will have no relatives by my side......"

At this time, Xia Ning suddenly grabbed my shoulders, turned my body, and whispered, "You still have me!" From now on, I will be your loved one, your lover. ”

Then he hugged me again.

"But it's different! The master watched me grow up, and in my heart, I already regarded him as my own parents......"

"Onkyo!"

"Huh?"

"If one day, I have to ...... Will you forgive me for hurting you? ”

I pushed him away and said, "If that's the case, I won't pay attention to you anymore!" ”

Xia Ning stroked my hair and said softly, "This punishment is too heavy!" ”

I tilted my head and said, "Who told you to hurt me!" ”

He pinched my face, "It's a last resort, it's too long to ignore me for a lifetime......"

"What then?"

Xia Ning thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Just ignore me for an hour! ”

"No! It's too cheap for you! At least a year! ”

Xia Ning suddenly hugged me, "Onkyo! Your heart...... It's too ruthless! ”

I asked rhetorically, "You, will you hurt me?" ”

"It's too late for me to spoil you and love you! And how can it hurt you? ”

"Wouldn't that be good! You won't hurt me, and I won't ignore you! ”

As I spoke, I laughed, and Xia Ning laughed too......

These days are no different from usual, the only difference is that the master suddenly made me a lot of osmanthus cakes.

I like to eat the osmanthus cake made by the master, his old man added the amount of herbs just right, the taste is sweet and not greasy, no one can make it!

But...... Where did he find so many osmanthus flowers?
