It is said that since Chu Zhaoran returned to Shangyao after returning to Shangyao after a three-year study visit in the Tianxuan Sect, he has been detained by the master to teach a group of high-level disciples his cultivation experience, and then he was sent to give lectures to some small sects nearby.

When he finally had the strength to visit Bao, he learned the news that Bao had fallen off the cliff.

Chu Zhaoran hurried to the firewood house where Ah Bao lived, stepped into the courtyard, and then an animal that looked like a dog pounced on him.

Chu Zhaoran is also knowledgeable, and he recognized this thing at a glance that it was not an extraordinary thing, and he did not dare to easily conflict with it when he couldn't figure out the details, so he had to defend on the one hand, and toss and turn on the other hand, dodging left and right.

After a stalemate for a long time, Gu Aweng poked his head out of the house when he heard the movement, and after seeing the person who came, he hurriedly shouted: "Rhubarb, don't mess around!" ”

Seeing that the guy didn't pay attention to himself, and still didn't give up on Chu Zhaoran, he bent down and picked up half a dry firewood from the ground, first put it in his hand and turned it upside down, then whistled, and threw it out of the yard vigorously. At the same time, the rhubarb let go of Chu Zhaoran almost reflexively, and ran outside the yard to chase the firewood stick.

"And said that he is not a dog......" Looking at the figure that disappeared outside the courtyard wall in an instant, Gu Aweng pulled the corners of his mouth and muttered.

"Gu Aweng, this is-" Chu Zhaoran looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, which made him can't help but think of the time when he and Ah Bao used to play with the dog named Wangcai raised by Gu Aweng.

Gu Aweng waved his hand: "Don't pay attention to it, everyone you see is that virtue." ”

"Why is this monster here?" Chu Zhaoran asked suspiciously, although he couldn't see his true body, he could be sure that it was not an ordinary little demon.

"It was Ah Bao who picked it up from the valley in the back mountain, and our Ah Bao is very charming." As Gu Aweng spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Chu Zhaoran and asked meaningfully, "You said yes, right?" ”

Chu Zhaoran was stunned, cleared his throat with his fist, covered the flying red of his cheeks, and quickly stepped forward to salute Gu Aweng: "I'm here to visit Ah Bao, how is she doing now?" ”

"It's much more stable, don't worry. Our Ah Bao is like a dog's tail grass, don't look down, but it is much more tenacious than those flowers, and it is not so easy to collapse. As Gu Aweng spoke, he pushed open the door and motioned for Chu Zhaoran to enter.

Chu Zhaoran bowed again to express his gratitude, and then walked into the room around Gu Aweng, and saw Ah Bao sitting on the couch, holding a small bowl of crisp cheese and eating it deliciously.

I saw that her face was pale, with a purple bag swollen on her forehead, and she was wearing a loose, patchy, and ill-fitting hood on her thin and small body, and even the cheese she was holding in her hand looked like someone else had eaten it. Chu Zhaoran suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and rushed over without thinking about anything, and hugged her in his arms.

The sudden embrace caught Po off guard, and in a panic, he almost knocked over the bowl in his hand. It was the first time she had been so close to Chu Zhaoran, so close that his heartbeat seemed to penetrate his chest and hit her chest with force. She smelled the smell of him, the scent of the vanilla sachet she had given, and couldn't help but blush.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Chu Zhaoran's voice blew into her ears like a breeze, "I've heard everything about what happened, I will go to Senior Sister Yun to make it clear, and tell her not to come back to embarrass you." ”

Po was startled and shook his head. Chu Zhaoran thought that Ah Bao had been treated like this, and he would definitely confide in himself about the grievances in his heart, and he was also ready, on the way here, he silently rehearsed the nice and comforting words that he could think of in his heart, but he didn't want to wait for such a reaction, he was really a little surprised.

He let go of Po and cast a puzzled look at her.

Po put the bowl aside and gestured to him, "It's all over, there's no need to make any more troubles." Besides, others will think that I use your sympathy to bully people and affect your reputation......" Before she finished the gesture, her hand was held by Chu Zhaoran. Ah Bao was stunned for a moment, and the roots of his ears that had just cooled down were burning again.

Chu Zhaoran stared at her steadily, she hadn't seen her for three years, although Ah Bao was still thin and small, but her eyebrows had faded away from her former childishness, and her pair of black apricot eyes no longer had only innocence, and began to reveal the charm that a woman of this age should have. Standing with him, he will no longer be mistaken for his little sister.

The cultivation of the Tianxuan School has always been known for its strictness, and during the three years of his visit, whenever he rarely had a free time, he would always think of the little girl on the Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. Although the letter of peace goes back and forth between Kunlun and Penglai every three months, and it never breaks, I still worry about whether she will be sick, whether she has been wronged in the pie, and whether she will look forward to time passing faster like herself, so that the two of them can reunite as soon as possible......

In the days of the Tianxuan Sect, the smell of vanilla in the sachet became stronger.

"By the way, I brought you some food from down the mountain." After a long time, Chu Zhaoran came back to his senses, let go of Ah Bao's hand, quietly took away the bowl of crisp cheese that Ah Bao was eating, took out packets of snacks from the package he was carrying and put them on the bed, and introduced the name of the dim sum while unwrapping the wrapper.

Seeing her dazed look, Chu Zhaoran couldn't help but smile and rub her hair, and said, "These pastries won't spoil quickly, you and Gu Aweng eat them slowly." I'll buy you some others when I come back next time. ”

When Ah Bao heard this, he gestured and asked, "Are you going down the mountain again?" ”

Chu Zhaoran nodded, seeing the lonely look in her eyes, he felt a lot of unbearability in his heart, and stretched out his hands to take her into his arms: "At present, the Demon Sect is active frequently, and it seems that it is about to take action, all major sects and families are taking precautions, and the real person in charge of my sect is still missing, and as the chief disciple of Shangyao, I can't escape responsibility...... I say this, you probably understand? ”

Po leaned into his arms and nodded.

Chu Zhaoran got this answer, and his hanging heart relaxed slightly.

He pondered for a long time, hesitated, and slowly said a sentence that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time: "Bao, I promise you that after these things are over, I will stay on the mountain to accompany you, and I will never leave casually." When the time comes...... I have a wish that I hope you will grant. ”

When the words fell, Ah Bao heard his drum-like heartbeat through the ear attached to Chu Zhaoran's chest, remembering that on the night of Qixi three years ago, he said to himself, "Ah Bao, you grow up quickly, okay", and suddenly understood the meaning of these words, and didn't know how to respond for a while, leaning on Chu Zhaoran in a daze, listening to his heartbeat gradually accelerating, gradually matching his frequency.

Outside the house, Gu Aweng sat on the steps of the door, silently listening to the conversation between the two, while constantly driving away the rhubarb that ran back again and again with a dry firewood stick to make trouble.
