After the "Lixia Festival", it is completely summer, Yuehua County is more lively in addition to border trade, and the towns and villages have returned to the peace and tranquility of the past.

Wu Yuan was supposed to get up early every day to cook according to the habit of the stinky old way, and then go out of the valley to pick up some hay and branches to make firewood, and pick some fruits and wild vegetables by the way.

The reason is that she found that there was always endless firewood on the stove, there were always fresh melons, fruits and porridge on the table every morning, and the meals were also prepared after the morning and evening schoolwork.

At first, she also asked Bai Ran about this after dinner one day, but the other party just smiled faintly and asked instead of answering, "Do you like it?" Looking at the beautiful melons and fruits in front of her, she swallowed her saliva and nodded, "I must like it." Her playful appearance amused Bai Ran, "Heh, if you like it, just enjoy it with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about the rest, just leave it to me." And after hearing this, Wanyuan had a sweet and silky honey in his mouth, so he instantly extinguished his mind to continue to ask, picked up the melon and fruit and ate it in small bites, but the corners of his lips revealed his good mood at this time.

But after nearly a month of such days, Wan Yuan did not get used to it more and more, but became more and more curious, because she found that for a long time, Bai Ran would always disappear for an hour or two when she was doing her schoolwork.

In recent days, he has been absent for longer and longer, sometimes even half a day after lunch, but when it comes to dinner, the meal is still on time on the table of the pergola, and he will appear on time to eat with her, but there is a tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes.

After another day of dinner, although the weather is getting hotter, there is still a refreshing breeze at sunset in the valley, and the two of them sit under the pergola, eating the cold melons and fruits fished out of the stream, which is very comfortable.

Wan Yuan watched Bai Ran make tea while cutting melons and fruits, although he was still in a good posture today, with a calm appearance, but at this time he relaxed, and there was still fatigue in his expression that could be easily captured by Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan rubbed his ears, hesitated again and again, and still said: "In recent days, you look a little tired, is it too hard to go out to the mountains to buy every day?" In fact, it doesn't have to be prepared so richly every day, and it used to be just as simple as it used to be. ”

Bai Ran was originally happily eating the fruit that Wan Yuan cut for him, but maybe the atmosphere was too good and too relaxed, or he was really tired, and when he heard the words, he was slow to react for a moment, and even forgot to swallow the flesh that was being chewed, squeezed to the side and puffed his cheeks slightly, and his amber eyes looked at Wu Yuan suspiciously, as if he was still thinking about the meaning of the words.

Staring at Bai Ran, who looked cute, Wan Yuan forgot to ask him for a while, and there was only a little joy in front of her, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then she actually wanted to touch his head with some itchy hands, and at this time she didn't have much scruples, so she really touched it.

At the same time, Bai Ran came back to his senses, stiffened his neck, and glanced hesitantly at the hand that Wu Yuan had put on his head that had not yet been withdrawn, "brushed", the roots of his ears instantly burned red, and he swallowed unconsciously, but he forgot that he still had something in his mouth, and finally swallowed it with a strange look in his throat, but he still couldn't resist the instinctive cough.

Wan Yuan was simply for his rare cute appearance, learning from him to express his love for himself, but he was taken aback by his excessive reaction, hurriedly put down his hand, and instead helped him stroke his back, and kept apologizing in his mouth.

After calming down, Bai Ran already understood the meaning of her words just now, took a sip of tea soup, and said, "I just lost my temper, which made Wu Yuan smile." After saying this, Wu Yuan shook his head embarrassedly, thinking that after all, it was his own abrupt harm, and before he could think of saying something, he heard him say again: "Those words just said, I remember I said it last time, if you forget, I will say it again, no matter what, as long as you like it, just bear it, don't think about it, I am there in everything, but remember?" ”

Wan Yuan still shook his head, but Bai Ran was not in a hurry, he only looked at her fixedly, his eyes had not completely subsided because of the water vapor he had coughed up just now, and at this time, he was a little shiny, and his throat tightened, and he cleared his throat and said: "Cough, I just think I'm busy alone, I can't sit back and enjoy it, I should be able to help, and it won't make you so tired." ”

"These things don't make me tired, it's just trivial things, I ......"

With a "bang", the tea cup that Bai Ran was about to pick up was pressed by Wu Yuan, interrupting his unfinished words, and then asked: "Then why do you always disappear for a long time while I am doing schoolwork recently, and you look tired every time you come back." ”

Bai Ran had never seen such a delicate side of Wu Yuan, and was speechless for a while.

Looking at her eager and worried look with round eyes, Bai Ran silently pondered in her heart, how could she have had this appearance in her previous lives, she had seen her beautiful and moving, she was gentle and virtuous, she was arrogant, and it was too difficult to define this life alone, maybe it was only strange that the spiritual sense started too early, and she was only ten years old, but she was already sharp-minded.

Thinking of this, Bai Ran smiled helplessly, raised his head and pinched his eyebrows, leaned back, and sighed, "You are right, I have indeed been out of the valley from time to time recently, but not for shopping, but the elders have encountered some troubles, and they need me to help deal with them from time to time, so they are a little tired, and it will be fine after tomorrow, you don't need to worry, as for the matter of purchasing, now I won't hide it from you, look!" While speaking, Bai Ran raised his hand, Wu Yuan looked at his hand woodenly, there was no movement after a while, and then looked at him again, the atmosphere condensed for a while, Bai Ran also had a bright face, and then coughed lightly and shouted: "Little finch, come out." ”

In the blink of an eye, a small bird with a blue feather and a palm-sized body fell from the top of the pergola, obviously frightened, flapped its wings before landing, and quickly flew back to Bai Ran's hand, facing him standing upright, Bai Ran looked down at it, raised his chin in front of him, the bird immediately understood, immediately turned to face Wu Yuan, flapped its wings twice, and flew to the knee where Wu Yuan was on his ground.

As early as the first time she saw this beautiful little thing, her eyes began to shine, and when she saw that it was tilting her head and looking at her obediently, her heart was suddenly as soft as cotton, and she raised her index finger tip on a whim and gently tapped the top of her head, and it actually rubbed slightly between her fingertips obediently, and even gently pecked away her other fingers with her yellow beak when she was comfortable, and placed her furry head in her palm.

Looking at its leisurely appearance, Wu Yuan looked at Bai Ran with a little crying and laughing in his eyes, and received the message conveyed by the little girl opposite, Bai Ran smiled gently, facing the blue bird, his index finger was a little in the air, and he didn't want to prevent the seven-colored halo from appearing.

A flower in front of her eyes, she raised her hand to cover it, but in the blink of an eye, she felt that her legs sank, and there was a strange appearance in her palm, she was smart, her body stiffened slightly, and she slowly put down the hand in front of her, and her eyes moved downward, and it was okay not to look at it, but she almost jumped up in fright.

The plush head that was rubbing in the palm of his hand just now has become a head with blue braids that is several times bigger, and for a while, the brain of the source is almost blank, and the head is still enjoying it. Bai Ran was already looking at her frightened appearance, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore, and looked at the blue head and unsatisfied coquettish appearance, suddenly had a black face, and called coldly: "Little finch." I saw that the little head stiffened when he heard the sound, and slowly moved out of Wuyuan's palm, and the blue head first looked at Bai Ran with a reluctant face, and then turned close to Wuyuan and stared at her aggrievedly.

"Hmm!" When a fair-skinned and beautiful baby face clearly greeted her, Wu Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands and gasped in surprise. In front of him, he was clearly only a child of three or four years old, dressed in a colorful feather coat, his long cobalt blue hair was braided from front to back, and there were two small black feathers at the ends of the broken hair on both sides of his cheeks.

Hey...... Where did this blue-haired kid come from? What was in the palm of her hand just now was obviously a blue bird...... Wait, Blue Bird? Blue-haired kids? Could this ...... Thinking about it carefully, she looked at Bai Ran, but saw him smiling at herself without explaining.

Besides, the blue-haired child kept staring at Wu Yuan, taking in all her emotions, touching her face, a little puzzled, his appearance could make her look like this, could it be that the world has changed? Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, and said wiltingly: "Wanyuan, you...... Don't you like me? ”

Wu Yuan was not prepared, and when he heard the sound, he was so shocked that he was originally sitting upright, and leaned back suddenly, looking at the slightly injured eyes of the child in front of him, and couldn't bear to speak weakly: "No, no, you are very beautiful, but ......"

When the blue-haired child heard the compliment, he didn't care about what others said before he finished speaking, and threw himself into Wu Yuan's arms, Wu Yuan looked down in surprise, and was originally a little frightened, but for a while seemed to be dispersed by this sudden sincere hug, and his heart was slightly warm, and he just wanted to raise his hand to hug it back, but suddenly his arms were empty, and then he raised his eyes to see Bai Ran staring at the little man he was carrying in his hand with an unkind face.

And the blue-haired child who was carried in front of him seemed to feel his unkind aura at this moment, and turned his head to Wuyuan for help, Wuyuan looked at his uncomfortable appearance, and shouted: "Bai Ran, let him down." As soon as the words fell, Bai Ran let go of his hand and said lightly, "If you don't want to change back, just stand and talk." When the child heard this, he lowered his head and nodded quickly, not daring to make any more moves.

Wan Yuan looked at the cute tight, pulled him back to his side, and asked with a smile, "Do you know me?" So, where are you from, what's your name, and how old are you this year? The blue-haired child who was smashed by the question was a little confused, turned to look at the person opposite, Bai Ran's eyelids twitched, and he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and said, "If you ask, you will answer, and speak well." ”
