“…………”

Morien had a dream.

Or rather, she thought she was dreaming.

In a hazy consciousness, she felt that she was wrapped in a soft wave, comparable to the stars in the sky, overlooking the lights of the world, flying lightly over the clouds.

Maybe it's because she's busy during this time, or maybe it's because Jingliu's daughter Hong is too sweet, she just feels that her body is tired like never before, her limbs seem to be filled with mercury, and she can't lift a finger, and she falls down heavily.

Molian was afraid that she would be tired of this "wave", so she wriveted her last bit of strength and turned back into a human form in a half-dream.

(like this...... I guess that's fine...... ）

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the moment she turned into a human form, she heard someone in her ear take a soft breath.

"Wait, put your clothes on......"

“…… That's it, it doesn't matter. The left and right have arrived. ”

"I'll cover you with the Cloud Singing Technique, and you can continue to sleep."

Immediately afterward, Morien felt herself fall into a warm eggshell, surrounded by mild and moist moisture, as if she had returned to the sea of darkness that had been born, and the chill on her body disappeared.

Someone picked her up through the eggshell, carefully placed her on the flat bed, and spread a layer of warm and soft fabric on top of the eggshell, which seemed to carry the body temperature that had not yet dissipated.

"Bai Heng is drunk, I don't know where you are staying, let's rest here tonight. I'll send you back early tomorrow morning. ”

The voice continued.

“…… Now that I think about it, it is indeed my fault that I am so focused on keeping my mind and coveting your concerns, but I know very little about your life outside. If it weren't for today's feast, I wouldn't even have had a chance to take care of you. ”

For some reason, Morien felt the voice sad.

"No, it's ......"

No.

That's not true.

I didn't come here to hear your sad voice.

I know.

I've always known that.

I know that you are different from me, in order to protect the world of "people", you actively chose to give up the flying dragon.

Because I am also a dragon, I can understand what a gentle and noble sacrifice it is.

Because I think this sacrifice is heart-wrenching, that's why I landed next to you.

Whether it's your loneliness, confusion, loneliness, or a glimmer of joy that I can't easily grasp, I want to drink it all in one gulp, and I don't want to leave it to anyone.

So, Danfeng.

O my gentle and beautiful dragon.

You don't have to be sorry for me.

Because, from the very beginning, I was for my own desires-

"Jasmine?"

"Dan, Kaede......"

Morian tried to open her eyes, but the heavy smell of wine steamed in her brain, and her vision was as erratic as the air scorched by the scorching sun in the middle of summer, and she could only vaguely see Danfeng's face close at hand, looking down on her like a cold moon.

No, if it's the moon, it's too close.

（…… By the way, it's a dream. ）

(Only in a dream would the moon be so close to me.) ）

"Jasmine, are you awake? Wait a minute, I'll pour the tea. ”

Dan Feng didn't know anything about Morian's mental activities, and when he saw her eyes open in a drowsy state, he also relaxed for a while, and turned to walk to the low table where the tea set was placed.

Everyone says that the status of "Drinking Moon Jun" is noble, only others serve him, and there is no him to serve others, but in fact, it is not.

As one of the most talented people in the Dragon Venerable, Dan Feng is not only brave and good at fighting, but also proficient in magic, and is good at harnessing the flow of water to heal the wounds of others.

In the ancient sea where Zhiming was born, he personally picked up the baby born from the egg.

On the battlefield where evil was raging, he also personally cared for seriously wounded soldiers.

Caring for a drunken little girl is a trivial matter for him.

…… Originally, it should have been like this.

"Sit down slowly, Jasmine. Can I drink it myself? ”

Danfeng took Jasmine by the shoulder, made her straighten up from the low couch, leaned on his shoulder and sat firmly, and handed the teacup to her lips.

“…… Well. Thank you ......."

“…… You're welcome. ”

“…………”

“…………”

There are always endless words and songs in Mo Li'an's mouth, and the bronz-like laughter never stops, and it is rare to be quiet for a while, but it makes Danfeng feel a little unaccustomed.

“…… Morien, don't worry. You don't have to rush to leave today. Take your time and don't choke on yourself. ”

He wrapped his arms around Morian's shoulders with one hand and held the teacup with the other, patting her back from time to time to help her breathe, as if he were feeding a newborn chick, watching her hold the cup in both hands, sipping gently one gulp, and then squirming her throat and trying to swallow.

"Hoo ......"

Mo Li'an drank most of the cup, felt a lot clearer, turned her head to look at Danfeng in front of her, only to feel that the hazy vision was barely clear, but it was still as empty as a mountain in the drizzle.

(Well, it was a dream.) ）

(All along, I am more energetic and energetic than Danfeng, and I should take care of him.) ）

(Only in my dreams do I imagine him bothering to look after me.) ）

(Since it's a dream, it shouldn't matter if the behavior is a little out of line, right?) ）

- She was awake, but not at all.

A dragon who is completely unconscious will obviously have a very different definition of "slightly out of line" than ordinary people.

After all, between her and normal people, there is only the three words "positive", "normal" and "human".

"Jasmine, it's time for me to go."

When Danfeng saw that Morian woke up, he let go of her shoulders and distanced himself from her again.

"I won't stay in my room tonight, you can rest ......"

- It happened in an instant.

Danfeng was about to get up, but Jasmine was immersed in a sweet dream, and suddenly leaned forward without warning, reached out to hold his cheek, and forcibly pulled his upper body towards him.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's bewildered face approached, and her soft lips brushed his face like petals to his lips.

“……！！”

Danfeng's alcohol volume and wine quality are better than others, but tonight I really didn't drink less, and after all, the reaction was a little slower than usual, and I couldn't push her away at the first time.

So, instinctively, Morien seized the moment and put her arms around the back of his neck, changing angles against his face, and pressing her lips firmly against them.

"Hmmm......"

“…… No, I ......"

“…………”

For Dan Feng, it was not difficult to get rid of her at this time.

But the whole time, he didn't move.

Not only did he not move, but even the words blurted out subconsciously were sealed by the girl's drunken breath.

The breath was so warm and peaceful that the pride, majesty and decency that "Drinking Moon Monarch" had upheld all his life melted in this light kiss like a dragonfly.

The chains that bound "Drinking Moon Jun" were loosened, and "Danfeng" did not refuse Morian.

From the first meeting, he was not good at rejecting her.

Rather, he needed to control his instincts with rock-solid reason, controlling his teeth and tongue in order to force himself not to respond to her.

It is conceivable that in the case of both parties being drunk, it will not be a gentle response.

"Hmm...... Whew......"

Morian was also very restrained in her dreams, and the kiss didn't last long, she quickly let go of Dan Feng, put her head on his shoulder, and whispered softly like a dream:

"By the way, I almost forgot. I patronized Zhang Luo's birthday banquet today, and I haven't told you about the last ......."

- Thank you for being born.

- Thank you for accepting me as a part of my life.

"'Thank you, Danfeng. It's great that you're here. ’”

"It's so ............ that I can come to Luofu and see you. ............"

The wine surged menacingly again, this time completely engulfing Morien's slightly dazed consciousness, enveloping her all the way into the abyss of deep sleep.

Before falling to the bottom of the dreamless abyss, Morien felt someone slowly flatten her body, brushing away her sweat-soaked bangs, and something cold and soft pressed against her forehead.

“…… Go to sleep. ”

"To see you in this life, to hear these sincere words, to live such a good time...... I'm very satisfied. ”

"That's all I need, and I'm satisfied."

The last words were like a sigh.

……

……

……

I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, the next morning, when Jasmine woke up in Danfeng's room, she had forgotten all the memories of last night's drunkenness, and she didn't even leave a single fragment.

"Good morning, Danfeng."

Facing Dan Feng, who came to take care of her early in the morning, she drank water from his hand while showing her bright smile as always.

"I had a great time yesterday. Sorry, I fell asleep during the festival and have been unconscious ever since...... I didn't bother you, did I? ”

“…………”

Dan Feng stared at her with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, just calmly turned his head and looked at the red maple that was quietly falling outside the window.

"It's okay, forget it. I can't do a lot of things after drinking. ”

Jasmine: "? ”

She was vaguely aware of what had happened last night, but the cerebral cortex was left as a smooth blank space that she couldn't salvage no matter how much she reached out.

No matter how she asked, Dan Feng just maintained that mask-like indifferent expression, and insisted on an answer that would never let go:

"Nothing, don't care."

"Really? Really, really nothing? Danfeng, don't be embarrassed, if I offend you if I get drunk, you must tell me! I'll find a way to fix it! ”

"It's really nothing. I...... Not offended. ”

“？？？”

*

Danfeng originally thought that he would be content to spend this flowering season with Jasmine, and then watched her leave with pure gratitude and blessings.

By the time he realizes he's been wrong, everything is out of control.

As for the cause of the turning point -

It probably started one day, when Mo Li'an threw the exploding quantum reactor out of the cave with her bare hands in order to protect the people of Luofu, and came to him for treatment with half of her body burns.
