Chapter 39 Chapter 39 "You are the only one I care about"...
Before they knew it, they had been here for a year.
As time went by, Ruan Mingyu couldn't tell whether Song Chenxi's condition was good or bad. He was sometimes lucid, sometimes confused, switching between being a fool, a lunatic, and a normal person.
Before going to bed, the idiot Song Chenxi would hold him and tell him all sorts of random things. For example, how many candies he had eaten today, how many times he had beaten the neighbor's naughty child and made him cry, and sometimes, when he got angry, he would press him down on the bed, bury his head in his shoulder, and lick him like a dog.
Under normal circumstances, Song Chenxi would have said something serious. Then he said to Ruan Mingyu, "Did I ask you for candy again today? Don't give it to me next time. I don't like candy."
There were obviously many rooms in the house, but he insisted on coming over and squeezing in with Ruan Mingyu. Ruan Mingyu said no, but after he climbed into bed a few times, she let him hold her while she slept.
The two of them lay in bed. Song Chenxi happily hugged Ruan Mingyu from behind and said, "Ayihan's belly is so big. I heard from the children that she is pregnant."
Ruan Mingyu began to be alert. Why did he suddenly say this? The next second, he heard from Song Chenxi: "Mingyu, can you also give birth to a baby for me?"
Ruan Mingyu was used to it. You couldn't think like a normal person when talking to a fool. He'd forget everything he said the next day anyway. Ruan Mingyu was so sleepy that he just lied to him, "Sure, eight babies in one litter. You can hold whichever one you want to play with."
Song Chenxi chuckled and said, "Ruan Mingyu, you are so nice."
Ruan Mingyu fell asleep just after he finished speaking. Song Chenxi looked at his peaceful sleeping face and also fell into a sweet dream.
The next morning, Ruan Mingyu habitually touched the edge of the bed, but it was empty. He suddenly opened his eyes. Generally speaking, a fool should be asleep at this time.
Ruan Mingyu put on his clothes and went out, and saw Song Chenxi practicing sword in the yard.
"Senior Brother?" Song Chenxi was rarely in his normal state. He hadn't seen Song Chenxi like this for a long time. He couldn't help but feel excited, with tears in his eyes.
Song Chenxi put away his sword and looked sideways at Ruan Mingyu. Although they saw each other every day, that glance was filled with deep affection.
"Are you awake?"
Ruan Mingyu nodded.
"You've lost weight."
How can I not lose weight if I make pills every day?
Although Ruan Mingyu had a lot to say, the moment he saw him, he suddenly felt his throat blocked and couldn't say anything.
How would he feel if a man as arrogant as his senior brother turned out to be a fool?
"Don't make the elixir today, just accompany me for a walk on the street." Song Chenxi said.
Ruan Mingyu readily agreed.
Ruan Mingyu rarely took the silly Song Chenxi out for a walk. Now that the two of them were walking on the street, he was no longer afraid that he would run around.
Today was a lucky day, as it was a market day. Ruan Mingyu asked him, "Brother, is there anything you'd like? I'll pay for it. This is only for one day, no more."
Song Chenxi: "It's rare that Mingyu is so thoughtful. I will definitely choose carefully and buy a good one later."
The two were strolling on the street. The girl from the frontier was enthusiastic and bold, and she directly stuffed her purse into Ruan Mingyu's pocket.
Song Chenxi's face showed no emotion, but his mouth felt sour.
"Didn't you say you would give me eight children? How come you've accepted another girl's token of love in the blink of an eye?"
Ruan Mingyu's face flushed. He actually still remembered what he said yesterday.
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Song Chenxi said with a half-smile: "I am the most likely to be serious."
Ruan Mingyu: "There's no point in being so serious. I can't give birth."
Song Chenxi said meaningfully: "There is still a way to have a baby."
Ruan Mingyu was shocked. After all, this was the world of immortal cultivation, so there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be some strange medicine. "I don't want to have a baby, so don't scare me, Senior Brother."
Song Chenxi curled his lips and smiled: "Silly sparrow, I'm just teasing you."
Ruan Mingyu: "..." At this time, he wished he had just remained stupid, because people would do bad things when they become smart.
After browsing around, Song Chenxi fell in love with a handmade blanket. The pattern on it was exquisite, and it was obvious that it was a high-quality product, which must have cost a lot of money.
Ruan Mingyu saw that it was embroidered with a bird and asked, "What kind of bird is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
The shop owner said, "This is called the Bird of Paradise. Its feathers are colorful. It's a legendary divine bird. It's as different from the evil bird in the desert as the sky."
Ruan Mingyu: "What kind of thing is that bad bird in the desert?"
Shopkeeper: "Have you been to the west side of the city?"
Ruan Mingyu nodded. Isn’t that where they live now?
"That place is uninhabitable. People disappear every few years." The owner lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to know why?"
Ruan Mingyu hates people keeping things in suspense.
"I don't want to know."
Shopkeeper: "Hey, customer, don't you have any curiosity at all?"
Ruan Mingyu: "Give me a discount on this blanket."
Shop owner: "Okay, okay, listen to what I have to say first."
Ruan Mingyu pretended to listen attentively.
"There is a strange bird in the depths of the desert. It lays an egg every three years. When the egg is hatched, it goes to the city to capture people and store them as food." The shopkeeper described it vividly.
Ruan Mingyu didn't react much after hearing his little story. After all, he had heard of things no matter how absurd they were. "Can you fold this blanket in half?"
Shopkeeper: "Oh, this is the first time I see you bargaining like this!"
Ruan Mingyu finally managed to get the price down after some effort. He handed the blanket to Song Chenxi and said, "How about it? I'll keep my word."
When he was bargaining just now, Song Chenxi stood aside the whole time, just watching him.
Song Chenxi nodded: "As expected of a little sparrow, I will accept the gift you gave me."
Ruan Mingyu was in a good mood: "What else do you want to buy? I'll take care of everything today."
Song Chenxi: "I won't buy it. You say that, but I'm afraid you'll be heartbroken and drop pearls when you go home at night. I don't want you to cry."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
Is Song Chenxi's mouth poisoned? I really want to poison him to silence.
Ruan Mingyu silently made a note of him in his mind.
——————
The two of them walked around and prepared to return home.
Before she even reached the door, she saw Ayihan's newlywed husband crying and shouting. He slapped himself and said, "I should have stayed with her."
Ruan Mingyu hurriedly asked what happened?
"Ayihan was captured by a strange bird!"
Thinking of what the owner said, Ruan Mingyu's face changed.
If it is true, then Ayihan is in danger.
He asked, "Did you see where the bird went?"
Ayihan's family pointed to the southeast of the desert and said, "The monster flew in that direction."
Ruan Mingyu didn't think much about it, and rushed into the depths of the desert with his sword. Song Chenxi didn't stop Ruan Mingyu, but followed him silently.
Ruan Mingyu glanced at Song Chenxi out of the corner of his eye. Fortunately, Song Chenxi had recovered and could help him.
The two headed deep into the desert.
The whole sky was covered with yellow sand, and it was hard to find even a dead tree. It was easy to get lost in there.
The two of them wandered around like headless flies. Ruan Mingyu thought for a moment and said to Song Chenxi, "We should act separately."
After the last lesson, Song Chenxi refused to agree no matter what.
Ruan Mingyu said anxiously, "The later we find Ayihan, the more danger she will be in."
Song Chenxi grabbed Ruan Mingyu's hand, not letting him go, and said seriously, "I don't care whether she lives or dies, Ruan Mingyu. I only care about you. It's a favor for you to help her, and it's my duty to be with you. You can be a savior and a good person, but I have to ensure your safety."
Ruan Mingyu was speechless: "I..."
Song Chenxi: "You don't have to answer me. I won't leave you. If you insist on going your own way, I will have no choice but to knock you out and carry you back."
His fingers gently stroked Ruan Mingyu's face: "I mean what I say."
