Ending 5

After returning to the room and pushing the door open, Qin Yan looked at Gu Qingqu behind him and reminded him warmly, "There's a room available."

Yes, there are many rooms in Jiangxuexuan, so they both have their own rooms.

Gu Qingqu replied calmly: "I know, but according to the rules, one of us has to stay on guard, so..."

Qin Yan was shocked. "This is too exploitative. There are only two of us. We have to sweep the floor, wipe the table, and keep watch at night."

Gu Qingqu replied: "Yes, although I work with clay figures, we have to live together, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed."

Yes, originally Qin Yan was on guard, but there was another Qin Yan sleeping in the room. If someone discovered this, it would be more terrifying than lining up sweet potatoes. If the two of them slept together, this risk could be avoided very well.

“You are so thoughtful.”

Gu Qingqu responded calmly.

Qin Yan went to bed first. Even as he was lying down, Gu Qingqu was still slowly unbuttoning his clothes. Qin Yan glanced at him and thought, I've never seen him with so many buttons on his clothes before, why is it taking him so long to unbutton them?

Qin Yan was almost asleep, and Gu Qingqu hadn't finished his work yet. Qin Yan was so sleepy that he closed his eyes. In his half-sleep, he felt the sinking touch beside him, and then he fell asleep peacefully.

Both of them slept well. Qin Yan hardly moved the whole night and his whole body felt a little stiff from sleeping. The next day, when he sat up from the bed yawning, there was no one in the bed again. Gu Qingqu was reading a book by the window today. The sun was already high in the sky, and the sunlight shone on his body, shining golden.

Qin Yan asked casually: "Do you like the sun very much?"

Gu Qingqu turned her head to look at him. His face was against the light, and a halo was spreading around his face, giving a dreamy feeling. He replied: "Well, the sky is cold and damp, and I was longing for the sun while I was still floating in the sky."

"Oh." Qin Yan had been to Tianhe, where there was white mist and fairy air floating in the air, and there was indeed no sunshine.

There were lotus cakes on the table. Qin Yan sat down opposite Gu Qingqu, took a lotus cake and ate it slowly, sighing: "Our lives are getting better now, and we have snacks to eat."

Gu Qingqu replied: "The clay figurines were praised for their work. This was given to them by Xuezhu."

Qin Yan asked: "What kind of work did you get praised for?"

Gu Qingqu replied: "Breathe"

Qin Yan looked at him in disbelief. Although he thought Gu Qingqu would not joke with him, if this was not a joke then it would really be a joke.

"You can still joke around."

"No"

Seeing Gu Qingqu's serious expression, Qin Yan also felt that he was not joking, but this...

“He’s pretty nice”

Gu Qingqu replied: "Well, I have been in Yaochi for a long time, so my mind is simple."

Why did this sound so unkind? Qin Yan asked, "Has he returned home after his illness was cured?"

Gu Qingqu replied: "He was playing in the mansion in the morning, and Sima Ling promised to take him out to play in the afternoon."

Perhaps because he knew Xue Zhu's ending, Qin Yan was somewhat resistant to Sima Ling's behavior. "He helped so much, but if you don't give him more money, what's the point of taking him for fun?"

Gu Qingqu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either.

“We’ll go there in the afternoon too.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Soon Sima Ling arrived, and Xue Zhu was obviously happy to see him, "Brother Ling, shall we go out and play now?"

Sima Ling touched his head. Xuezhu was not very tall, half a head shorter than Sima Ling. Xuezhu looked a little childish, so the two of them looked like father and son when standing together.

Sima Ling smiled and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xuezhu said: "I don't know, I'll listen to Brother Ling."

Sima Ling said: "The weather is hot, let's go to the lake to enjoy the lotus."

"OK"

Five people went out together, including Qin Yan, Gu Qingqu and the butler.

This was the hottest time of the day. As soon as they went out, the housekeeper handed Sima Ling an umbrella. Sima Ling took it and held it for Xue Zhu. "There is a sweet soup shop at the corner of the street. It is most refreshing when ice is added. Let's go and try it."

"Hurrah"

Sima Ling and Xue Zhu walked forward together holding an umbrella, and the others followed behind. Listening to Sima Ling and Xue Zhu's teasing, Qin Yan couldn't help shivering in this hot weather. It felt too bad to watch someone fall into a deep pit.

Arriving at the dessert shop, Sima Ling ordered one for each person. Although there was ice, it was very little and it melted in a few seconds. However, it tasted really good. Qin Yan whispered, "It would be better if it was a little colder."

Gu Qingqu, who was drinking sugar water, heard his words, stretched out his fingers and pressed Qin Yan's cup. The next moment, ice flowers spread from Gu Qingqu's fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, the entire wall of the cup was frozen with snowflakes.

Qin Yan looked at Gu Qingqu with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Gu Qingqu could be so enthusiastic. He thanked him softly. Due to their low status, Sima Ling and Xue Zhu did not sit with them, and this little magic was not seen by anyone.

Gu Qingqu nodded without saying anything. Qin Yan thought, that's right, being aloof is Gu Qingqu's nature.

After eating the sweet soup, we came to the moat. Both sides of the moat were planted with lotus flowers. There was originally a boat lane in the middle, but the lotus leaves grew very well and had covered the entire moat.

The palace had a boat, and the boatman had received the news in advance and was waiting on the boat. Several people got on the boat, and Sima Ling and Xue Zhu went to the cabin. Although they were on the water, it was still very hot. Theirs was the only boat on the river, and there were few people around.

The housekeeper arranged Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu to fan the two men. Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu each took a big fan. Since Qin Yan didn't like Sima Ling from the bottom of his heart, he didn't control the strength when fanning, and fanned Sima Ling into the river.

With a loud "plop", Sima Ling splashed in the river. Xue Zhu saw this and quickly jumped into the river. However, Sima Ling could swim. He wiped the water off his face and said to Xue Zhu, "Let's see who can swim to the end first."

Xuezhu agreed readily, as he didn't like hot weather.

The two people in the water were having a great time, and the sound of laughter was endless. Qin Yan was miserable. The housekeeper pointed at his nose and scolded him, "You, you...you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. You can't even do such a small thing..."

Qin Yan had never fanned anyone before, let alone been scolded like this. Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he still let some of it out. He looked up at the housekeeper.

Seeing that he was not convinced, the housekeeper scolded him even more vigorously, "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, you say..."

Qin Yan was so angry that he clenched his fists. Just as he was hesitating whether to punch him into the water, the butler suddenly slipped and staggered into the water.

With a splash, the butler struggled in the water, "Help, I can't swim!"

Seeing this, the boatman quickly jumped in to save the people. Due to this series of accidents, the lake cruise came to an emergency end. After returning, Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu were permanently disqualified from going out. Because of Xue Zhu's plea, they still retained the qualification to serve in Jiangxuexuan. At the same time, Sima Ling assigned another 20 people to serve in Jiangxuexuan.

Jiangxuexuan became lively. Qin Yan looked at the servants coming and going and took a bite of an apple angrily. "He is obviously trying to undermine us."

Gu Qingqu couldn't help laughing after hearing his words. The two servants who were responsible for cleaning the house were sidelined. Now they didn't have to do anything and just watched others work every day.

Gu Qingqu picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading. Qin Yan finished his apple and took another one to eat. He said casually, "Xuezhu was not in the house all day today."

Gu Qingqu replied: "Yes, Sima Ling took him to the opera."

"Listen to an opera?" Qin Yan instantly perked up. He had heard from Fu Ze that the operas in the human world were very interesting. They didn't exist in the demon world, and he didn't go to listen to one the last time he went to the human world.

Gu Qingqu raised his eyes and looked at him, "You want to go?"

Qin Yan asked: "Do you have a solution?"

"Clay Figure"

Qin Yan had forgotten about this and immediately said, "Let's go."

Gu Qingqu released the clay figure, and the two of them quickly ran to the street. It was already evening, and everyone was out for a walk after dinner. The street was bustling with people, giving a completely different feeling from the daytime.

Qin Yan found out about the most popular theater nearby and came to the theater entrance. "Dear guests, the main hall is five coins for a seat, and the private room on the second floor is one ounce of silver. Which one would you like to buy?"

Qin Yan suddenly realized that he had no money at all. Fortunately, Gu Qingqu calmly took out a tael of silver and said, "Second floor"

"Okay, this way please"

The waiter took the two of them upstairs and said, "The restaurant uses Longjing tea. If you are not used to it, you can change it. Snacks are also free. Just call me for more when you are done."

Gu Qingqu nodded, and the waiter went out.

After the two of them sat down, Qin Yan saw Sima Ling and Xue Zhu sitting diagonally opposite them. He immediately pressed Gu Qingqu's head down. Gu Qingqu didn't understand, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yan said in a low voice: "Sima Ling is opposite us"

Gu Qingqu sighed seriously, "Oh, what bad luck!"

They couldn't sit down, but they were reluctant to leave, so they sat on the ground and leaned against the wall. In order to make it easier to watch the show, the theater had large windows and half-person-high walls under the windows. Both of them are tall, and even when they sit, half of the back of their heads are visible.

Qin Yan brought the tea and snacks to the ground and placed them between the two of them, and consoled himself: "This way of listening is also a different kind of experience."

"Um"

Listening to Gu Qingqu's perfunctory words, Qin Yan poured him a cup of tea and said, "Have some tea."

Gu Qingqu took it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Qin Yan replied casually.

The door opened, and the waiter stood at the door and looked at the two in surprise, then hurried in and closed the door, "Gentlemen, are you on a secret mission? Do you need my help?"

Qin Yan replied: "Okay, go move the two white-haired guys across from us away."

"Okay," the waiter agreed readily and turned away.

Qin Yan was complacent, "Really smart"

Gu Qingqu paused and asked, "Where do you think he will move them?"

"Just move..." No, Qin Yan also realized this problem, "He's not going to... move to our place, is he?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the waiter's voice at the door, "Your Majesty is here."

Finished.
