Xu Qian's heart was tickled by her words, but he didn't intend to do anything else to Han Jun. "I'll just have lunch with you and then I have to go back. Kunlun Mountain is too far away. If I'm any later, I won't be able to make it back for the New Year."
When Han Jun heard this, he felt indescribably warm in his heart.
"Okay, I'll take you to eat steamed chicken."
"good."
Han Jun took Xu Qian to the place where she and Han Zhan sat last time. They had just placed their orders, and before the dishes were served, Han Jun saw an acquaintance.
Xu Qian saw Han Jun staring at a spot diagonally in front of him. He raised his head and looked across, and found that there was a pair of girls sitting at the two-person table. The girl was thin but looked very sweet, while the boy was handsome.
Xu Qian asked Han Jun: "Do you know him?"
Han Jun nodded towards the girl's seat and told Xu Qian, "That's Han Miao's best friend, Lin Yutian." Han Jun stared at the boy sitting opposite Lin Yutian and added, "That's the former school hunk."
“Why the old one?”
Han Jun: "The new school hunk is Han Miao's boyfriend."
Xu Qian stared at the boy's face for a moment, then suddenly asked Han Jun, "So who do you think is better looking, my brother or that former school hunk?"
Han Jun looked at Xu Qian carefully, and after a moment, he said, "Brother, you look good."
"How beautiful?" Xu Qian teased her deliberately.
Han Jun asked: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Xu Qian took a sip of the malt tea and said, "Brother never likes to hear lies."
Han Jun: "You are very beautiful. I want to take off your clothes and see what's inside you."
"puff--"
Xu Qian was so frightened by Han Jun's words that he spat out the tea in his mouth.
Han Jun calmly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Xu Qian. Xu Qian wiped his mouth while secretly observing Han Jun. After Han Jun said such obscene and bold words, she didn't feel unnatural at all. She picked up the delicious radish with chopsticks and bit it with a crunching sound.
Apart from their young age, children are not small in other aspects. They are especially courageous, arrogant and unruly, and are difficult to tame.
Xu Qian's ticket was for the 2 p.m. train, so he ate his meal in a hurry. Afterward, Han Jun sent Xu Qian to the high-speed rail station. Before parting, Xu Qian and Han Jun looked at each other in silence. Finally, Han Jun broke the silence by saying, "Tell your mom that I like beef jerky."
Only then did Xu Qian laugh.
"Okay. I'll bring you more when I go to your house." Without any extra nonsense, Xu Qian turned around and walked into the high-speed rail station.
Direct high-speed rail service from Wangdongcheng to Xining, Qinghai, has long been operational, and the journey takes 15 hours. After arriving in Xining, Xu Qian took another eight-hour train ride to Golmud.
It gets dark in Golmud around 7:40 in winter. When Xu Qian arrived in Golmud at 3:00 in the afternoon, the sun was still very strong.
The residents here generally have dark skin. When Xu Qian, with his fair skin, walked out of the station exit, Xu Yan's eyes locked on him. "Son, Daddy is here!"
Xu Qian saw his father, who had gained a lot of weight. As he walked over with his suitcase, Xu Yan grabbed his arm and kept looking at him. "My son is so handsome, so tall, and so fair! He's obviously a handsome guy. He really brings honor to our Xu family!"
Xu Yan was also very handsome when he was young, but he is not as tall as Xu Qian, and he has gained weight in recent years, so he inevitably looks a bit greasy.
"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself."
Xu Yan chuckled and pulled Xu Qian into the car.
Despite his short, stocky appearance, Xu Yan drives an expensive Rolls-Royce Cullinan, an SUV that costs over 7 million yuan. Feeling sorry for his son's travel fatigue, Xu Yan let him sit in the passenger seat while he drove himself.
Every Lunar New Year, the entire Xu family returns to Kunlun Mountain to celebrate the Spring Festival. This is an unchanging custom. Unlike other families, the Xu family celebrates the New Year by praying for blessings and offering sacrifices to the gods. Starting on the night of New Year's Eve, the head of the Xu family leads the entire family to the altar in Kunlun Mountain to worship the gods and pray for good weather and good harvests.
Xu Yan is the nominal head of the family, but in fact the position of head of the family has long been passed to Xu Qian. This year is the first time that Xu Qian presides over the blessing ceremony, and he attaches great importance to it. This is also the reason why he must rush back to Kunlun Mountain to celebrate the Spring Festival.
When he got home, Xu Qian hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and then went to take a bath to cleanse himself.
At eight o'clock, the sky in Kunlun Mountains was getting dark.
Xu's mother walked into Xu Qian's residence wearing a dark blue dress. She held a tray in both hands, on which were stacked the clothes Xu Qian would wear to preside over the prayer ceremony tonight.
Xu Qian had already bathed, put on his white undergarments, and sat in his room waiting to be dressed. Xu's mother and the most respected female elder of the clan personally helped Xu Qian change into a black, wide-sleeved robe embroidered with the Kunlun Xu family's sacred object, the 'Void Bird.'
It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is a bird in Kunlun, which is colorful and can speak human language. This is the wasted bird.
The Xudu bird is on the verge of extinction, and there are only a few of them in Kunlunxu in the world.
The Xu family members all gathered around the prayer platform, sitting cross-legged. A chilly wind howled, yet everyone sat upright, seemingly oblivious to the cold. When Xu Qian, dressed in elegant attire, with an eye patch on his left eye and the Guiyi sword in hand, appeared at the prayer platform, a dazzling rainbow of light suddenly lit up in the dark sky.
Everyone looked up and saw two wasted birds circling in the sky.
Not every blessing ceremony would attract the Void Bird. The Void Bird was a spirit, and would only appear when it sensed a powerful force calling it. Seeing the Void Bird, everyone's trust in Xu Qian increased a little.
Xu Qian sat on the prayer platform, chanting sutras. He first chanted to liberate the wandering ghosts and evil spirits, then prayed for good weather and good harvests for the country. He sat there from nine o'clock at night to eight o'clock the next morning, without a drop of water, chanting sutras non-stop.
