In the study room lit with warm incense, a man with eyebrows like ink paintings sat by the window, sometimes turning the pages of the book, sometimes locking his eyebrows and thinking, and opposite him, sat a beautiful woman.

"Youhuang, why doesn't Youhuang look like you at all?" the woman stared curiously at the man's face as he read a book seriously.

The man raised his eyes slightly, "Why do you want to look like it?"

"Isn't he your brother?"

With a chuckle, the book in his hand was gently patted on the top of the woman's head, "Who said that my brother must be like me, you are Cangyan's sister, aren't you not like him at all?"

"But I and Cang Yan are half-siblings, you and Youxi are from the same mother, so it stands to reason that there will always be some similarities. "But the twilight is much rougher, not as elegant as my brother.

"Your mother is a red fox?" he suddenly became interested.

"No, she's a white fox, but she wasn't there when I was very young. I'm the only red fox in Qingqiu!"

"It's special. Youhuang said a word, and then looked at the book again.

Xiyan had nothing to do, so she yawned on the table, and the person opposite had been reading the book for almost a noon since she came. Her mouth was flustered for a moment, and she began to find words to attract his attention, and Youhuang always had two or three words perfunctory.

"It turns out that you are used to using your left hand to turn books, Cang Yan always holds books in his left hand and turns the pages with his right hand, but he likes to sit under the tree and read. Sometimes I slept next to him and he was still watching. ”

"Hmm. The man replied without raising his head.

"Cang Yan can read books all day, and sometimes he even forgets to eat, I snatched his books away and urged him to eat. ”

“...... The Fox King was serious. ”

"You're more self-conscious than him, at least you'll eat and sleep by yourself. Once when Cang Yan was reading, I tied his hair to a branch, and he didn't know it, and when he got up and left, he almost didn't hurt him to death. When Xi Yan talked about the interesting story between her and Cang Yan, even her voice was full of laughter.

"Cang Yan is often so busy that I can't see him for more than ten days in a row, locked in the council hall every day, those elders are of no use at all when they are old, and they even have to look for him for trivial things in Qingqiu. If you become a wolf king in the future, will you be like him?"

"Cang Yan leaves me behind every time he goes out, but when he comes back, he brings me a lot of new things. ”

"............" Why did she go around Cang Yan again, she really didn't leave Cang Yan for a long time.

Xiyan was talking to herself, and the person opposite was immersed in the sea of books, not wanting to pay attention to her at all, and after talking for a long time, she herself felt bored. Why is it lukewarm every time she comes, isn't he interested in the topic she says? Xiyan was a little depressed, thinking to herself, let's go back first.

A month later, Xiyan slipped in again. "Youhuang, why do you always ignore me, it's so boring!" The woman followed the man like a kitten, humming a little song to entertain herself.

"Youhuang, you speak. No matter how many times he ate the closed-door soup, Xiyan still looked cheerful, as if he felt satisfied as long as he followed him.

"Youhuang, it's so boring. After following for a long time, she shouted again without giving up.

“...... Youhuang, I'm hungry. ”

The man who walked in front finally reacted, and said lightly without looking back: "If you are hungry, go find something to eat by yourself, there are a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas in the twilight, you can go and eat and drink." ”

"You don't have anything else to do today, just stay with me. "She didn't want to leave like she had done the first time.

The man stopped and looked back at her, his voice was moist with a smile, and there was some helplessness that even he refused to admit to being spoiled, "Why do you keep following me, like a little animal?"

"I like you, can't you see it?" Xiyan grunted as she twisted her hair, her voice as small as a fly's cry.

Youhuang was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, "What did you say?"

"I said I like you. Xi Yan raised his voice this time and said without changing his face.

Youhuang was dumb for a while, unable to speak for a long time, and finally came up with a sentence, but he stammered, "...... You, do you like ...... You ......"

Xi Yan couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh when he saw his bewildered appearance, laughing like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "What are you, are you necessary to be so surprised? ”

Youhuang suddenly pulled his face and said in a deep voice: "Do you know the meaning of the word like, how can you say it easily?"

"I didn't talk nonsense, I don't like your words, why should I follow you all the way back from Luluo Mountain. ”

A complicated look flashed in her dark eyes, and she looked at her for a long time before saying, "...... Since you said these two words, you are responsible for it. ”

What did he mean exactly? Did he accept or refuse? I didn't see any indication from him. Xiyan remembered what he said in the morning, meditated hard as he walked, and didn't even notice that he stepped on a person, until he heard the familiar "ouch" before turning his head sharply.

I saw a fat little old man with a red face sitting on the ground rubbing his legs, and he screamed: "Ouch, I said Xiyan girl, why don't you look at the road when you walk, I was almost trampled to death by you, ouch!"

"Ah, Grandpa Qing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see you, why did you go to sleep on the ground again?" Xiyan hurriedly helped the old man up, the old man was very short, and he only reached Xiyan's knees, so it was understandable that the pensive Xiyan didn't see him.

The old man snorted childishly, is it his fault that he is small? Is it his fault that he likes to lie on the side of the road and bask in the sun? Why is he an old fox who is only a few million years old, uh, there seems to be something wrong with this, whatever! These young people don't take him seriously one by one, this moonlight is his foot, and there are already a few bruises, and the world is really hot and cold. While lamenting his fate, he cast a dissatisfied gaze at Xiyan, but saw that Xiyan was not as lively as usual today, but stood aside as if he was distressed about something, so he was curious: "Why is Xiyan girl so quiet today?

Xi Yan opened his eyes wide and immediately covered the old man's mouth, "Shh, Grandpa Qing be quiet, otherwise it will be troublesome if Cang Yan knows about it!"

"Hmm...... Hmm, it's ...... Let it go......" The old man struggled to squeeze a few words out of his mouth.

Xiyan hurriedly let go of him, and the old man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this girl was so strong that she was about to suffocate him.

"Grandpa Qing, how do you know that I went to the Three Emperors' Well?" asked Xi Yan in a low voice.

The old man stroked his white beard, and said with a look that he couldn't hide anything from me, and said with a smile: "What else can I hide from me, I not only know that you are going to the Three Emperors' Well, but also know that you are going to find a handsome young man." ”

Xiyan looked incredulous, looking left and right at her body and back, "Grandpa Qing, did you put something on me?" Otherwise, how would I know her whereabouts and who she was going to meet.

"I didn't put anything, you said it yourself. ”

"Me?"

"It's not that you have anyone, every time you go out, you are elated, and when you come back, you talk to yourself all day long, and you always have the name of Youhuang on your lips, although I haven't been out of Qingqiu for millions of years, I also know the name of Youhuang, the eldest prince of the Three Emperors Well Wolf King. The old man said happily.

Xiyan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It turns out that I really said it." Grandpa Qing, don't tell Cang Yan. ”

"Do you think you haven't known about your frequent visits to Qingqiu Cangyan in the past few months? It's just up to you, and he can't care about you for the rest of your life. ”

Xi Yan was slightly puzzled, "I really don't know why Cang Yan is so worried about me, I'm already three thousand three hundred and fifty-six years old, and he still treats me like a child." ”

"Xiyan girl, Cang Yan didn't mean to lock you up, hey, he also has his own troubles, you just need to know that he does it for your good. You see that you usually make Qingqiu a miasma** dog restless, if you really go outside, you may turn the world upside down one day. ”

Xiyan's face twitched, "...... Miasma?...... "What kind of description is this, don't you just like pranks, how can it be so exaggerated?" "Grandpa Qing, you really lift me up, hehe, hehe......"

When it gradually entered the night, the lights of Qingqiu Wanjia were bright, and the study room south of the Beichen Hall was also lit. The silver-haired man was sitting at the table reading the folds handed by the elders the previous day, and the dim light was shining on his startled face, making his slightly frowning brow a look of exhaustion. The fold was nothing more than something the size of a sesame seed, he closed the last book and piled it aside, and opened his lips slightly in the direction of the door: "Come in." ”

Xiyan pushed open the door and entered, bowing his head, standing five steps away from the man.

Cangyan's deep pool-like eyes flashed a faint smile, and the corners of his mouth still didn't change, but Xiyan knew that he was indeed smiling. His joy could be seen from the sparkle in his eyes alone. His smile is never easily expressed on his lips, even if it is only a slight curvature, he is very stingy.

"Xi'er, why didn't you come in after standing outside for so long?"

"I'm not afraid to disturb you! you'll always call me when you're done. ”

"Is there something you want to tell me?" is so well-behaved, but it is rare to ask him for something.

"Cang Yan, I went out of Qingqiu without permission...... You know all about it?" Xiyan still kept her head down, as if she had done something wrong.

"Yes. "An affirmation that couldn't be calmer than calm.

"Aren't you angry?"

Cang Yan said strangely: "Why should I be angry?"

Xi Yan immediately raised her head when she heard this, and said happily: "You are really not angry, I thought you would scold me!"

Cang Yan looked helpless, "Where do you start with this, when have I scolded you." ”

"Not really, hehe. Xiyan jumped up to him and shook his arm, "Then I can go out at will in the future?"

"If you want to go out, just talk to the old man Qingxu, I know that if you go out once, you will think about it a second time, and Qingqiu is afraid that it will suffocate you. ”

"If I were a mushroom, I would be getting moldy. ”

"Oh, what kind of metaphor is this? It's okay to go out, but there's a place where you can't go. ”

"What place?" Xiyan was puzzled.

Cang Yan said solemnly: "Qingyu Mountain in the west of the East China Sea must not be approached. ”

"Qingyu Mountain, Grandpa Qing said that it is the realm of the demon world, although it is said that demons and demons are demons, but demons and demons are still different, we demons are better to provoke them less, right?"

"It's good if you know, if you get close to there, I have my own way to know, and then you don't want to go out of Qingqiu again. ”

Although it was a bit intimidating, Cang Yan's expression was serious, and Xi Yan didn't feel like he was joking, so he obediently responded: "Just listen to you, I won't go there, I don't want to be grounded here by you for the rest of my life." But Cang Yan, how do you know if I'm close there? If one day I accidentally get lost and go there by mistake......"

"If you're afraid of getting lost, you can go to Qingxu and ask for a guide bee. As for how I know if you are close to Lantau Mountain, I have placed a 'shadow' on you, although I can't know where you are going, but if you are close to the Demon Realm or encounter danger, I will know. ”

"Ahh

But this time, Cang Yan won't eat her," ...... Don't mess around, you just need to protect yourself, 'shadowing' is extremely draining, if it weren't for the fear that you would get into trouble, I would never use it, I hope you will never be in danger enough to need me to save the day." ”

Xi Yan grinned and bypassed Cang Yan's neck from behind and stuck it on his back, "I won't cause trouble for you, even if I encounter danger, I can save myself, the demons outside can't beat me!"

Cang Yan sighed helplessly, "Speaking of which, someone complained to me a few days ago, saying that you injured Shan'er and Ah Lu in the big banyan tree cave in the northwest, and half a month ago, I heard that you burned the flowers planted by Hongyi, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet...... Why do you make me so uneasy, how many times do you say you have had troubles?"

Xiyan stuck out her tongue, "You know this, it's Shan'er and Ah Lu who are too weak, and they were beaten up if I didn't have a lot of weight." There is also the matter of Hongyi's flowers, it is he himself who said that the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows...... I'll just ......"

"You...... How can I say hello?" Cang Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he really couldn't do anything about her, although every month he would hear all kinds of complaints about Xiyan and causing trouble, but he could only clean up those messes for her.

"If you don't know, don't talk about it, Cang Yan won't worry about me for such a trivial matter, right?"

Cang Yan couldn't help laughing, "If I'm not here, I'll see who cleans up these messes for you in the future." ”

The entire Qingqiu knows that the fox king Cangyan has spoiled his sister to the sky, and even if he commits a crime, he is reluctant to punish her, but in the entire Qingqiu, except for Cangyan, probably no one can cure Xiyan. However, even if Xiyan often suffers from disasters, her personality is likable, so everyone treats those things as commonplace, and she is usually very kind to her, which is probably considered a simple folk custom.

"I know that Cang Yan is the best for me. Xi Yan suddenly approached Cang Yan's face and gave him a big kiss.

This kiss made Cang Yan stunned on the spot, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his expression was a little strange that could not be explained, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Xi'er." ”

Seeing that he suddenly became serious, Xiyan wondered, "Hey, what's wrong?"

"You won't be allowed to do that again, you know?"

"What?"

Cang Yan turned his face slightly, his deep pupils made it impossible to guess his thoughts, and Xi Yan realized that he couldn't read Cang Yan's expression at the moment.

"Are you saying you can't kiss your face?"

Cang Yan looked at her and didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Xiyan didn't care, "You must want to say nonsense about whether men and women are intimate, but you are Cangyan, and you are no one else." ”

"That's not going to work either. "There was still no superfluous expression on his face, as if he was giving a ban.

"Okay, I just don't kiss you in the future. ”

"It's getting late, hurry back to your room. ”

"What about you?

"I've got something to do. ”

Isn't it already busy? What else is going on? Cang Yan is so strange today. Xi Yan thought to herself, and looked back at the lamp in the study and the long figure.

Under the flickering light, the man supported his forehead with his right hand, his eyebrows were still slightly frowned, his dark eyes were slightly closed, and his slender eyelashes cast a thick black shadow under his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, or if he didn't think about anything.
