Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Funny Little Sparrow
After being woken up, Ruan Mingyu's eyes were half-closed, and his body was lazy and boneless, as if he hadn't slept for months. Since leaving Lufeng and not taking the medicine given by Shen Yanyuan, he has become extremely sleepy.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he suddenly woke up.
"Why are you here?"
Song Chenxi stopped pretending to be gentle in front of Ruan Mingyu and became rather overbearing, his high ponytail swinging with his movements. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Why can't I be here? How are you going to thank me?"
Ruan Mingyu said, "I'll give you half of the monthly spiritual stones allocated to disciples, Senior Brother?"
Song Chenxi: "I don't care about your little tricks."
"You are sleeping in my bed now." Song Chenxi teased, "I haven't agreed to let you sleep in it yet."
The book described Song Chenxi as a gentle and graceful gentleman. Ruan Mingyu thought he was the complete opposite, a wicked and chaotic man who loved fun.
Ruan Mingyu: "There is only one bed in the room. Where else can I sleep if not here?"
Song Chenxi pointed to the sky and said, "The beam in the bedroom." He was a bit of a germaphobe and couldn't stand others sharing something with him.
Seeing that Ruan Mingyu didn't respond to him, Song Chenxi wanted to tease him and grabbed his collar to drag him under the bed.
Unexpectedly, the material of the clothes was not very good, and in a flash, most of Ruan Mingyu's snow-white shoulders were exposed.
Song Chenxi froze, then turned around and cursed, "How shameful! Put your clothes on right now!"
Ruan Mingyu was stunned and immediately retorted: "You tore my clothes and scolded me. You are so unreasonable."
Song Chenxi: "Who let you sleep in my bed? I was already showing mercy by not chopping you into pieces with my sword!"
Ruan Mingyu was disturbed from his sweet dream, but he was still unhappy. He wrapped himself in the quilt and refused to get out. He said angrily, "Senior Sister asked me to come here, so I'll sleep here."
Song Chenxi pretended to be angry and tried to pull him away. Ruan Mingyu refused, and the two of them started to wrestle on the bed.
Although Ruan Mingyu was thin, he was quite strong. It took Song Chenxi some effort to deal with him. He grabbed Ruan Mingyu's wrists with both hands and pressed him under him.
"Well, are you convinced? You can't beat me even without using magic."
He has been practicing for so long, and he has the nerve to say this to himself.
Ruan Mingyu had sharp tongue, but since this person had just brought him out from Shen Yanyuan, he didn't want to curse at him.
He had no choice but to say against his will: "Brother, your divine power is invincible, your bravery is unparalleled in the world, please let me go."
Song Chenxi couldn't help but break down when he heard his words. He could no longer pretend to be angry. A smile appeared in his eyes: "Mingyu, since you are so good at talking sweet words, then I, your invincible, brave, and unparalleled senior brother, will be so generous as to allow you to sleep in my bed."
The senior sister heard the noise and came over to open the door. Seeing Song Chenxi pressing on Ruan Mingyu, a normal person would have had bad thoughts, but who knew that her thinking was different from that of an ordinary person? She said happily, "You two brothers hit it off right after meeting for the first time and started playing around!"
Ruan Mingyu shouted, "Senior sister, save me." But someone covered his mouth with his hand.
Song Chenxi lowered his voice and leaned close to his ear: "What do you want to save? My good brother, your wishful thinking is wrong."
Ruan Mingyu seized the opportunity and immediately begged for mercy, hugging his neck and apologizing: "Brother, I didn't mean it. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have slept in your bed."
Song Chenxi's cheeks suddenly flushed red as he yelled, "Who told you to hug me?! You... have no shame! Don't seduce me!"
What kind of person is this? He said a lot of nice things but still cursed him!
Ruan Mingyu took advantage of his stiffness, pushed him away with all his strength, and immediately hid behind his senior sister to complain.
"Senior sister, senior brother wants to hit me!"
The senior sister hurriedly said to Song Chenxi, "I forgot to tell you, this is a new junior fellow student. We don't have a place to stay here, so you two can squeeze in. You won't feel embarrassed once you get to know each other better."
Song Chenxi gritted his teeth: "I'm not embarrassed!"
Senior Sister: "Your face is so red, aren't you embarrassed?"
Song Chenxi: “…”
The senior sister said to Song Chenxi, "This is your junior brother Ruan Mingyu."
The senior sister said to Ruan Mingyu, "This is your senior brother Song Chenxi."
Senior Sister: "Come, shake hands, you will be good brothers from now on."
She didn't know that they had known each other for a long time. Song Chenxi reached out and held Ruan Mingyu's hand. His hand was bigger than Ruan Mingyu's, just enough to hold his hand.
He smiled and said, "Junior brother, I will take good care of you in the future."
Ruan Mingyu sneezed and said with a forced smile: "Thank you very much, Senior Brother."
------------
Old man Sanqing, Ruan Mingyu's master, has been out for several days and has not returned. His senior sister was afraid that Ruan Mingyu would be idle in the mountains, so she assigned him the task of watering the flowers.
Sleeping with Song Chenxi these two days almost cured Ruan Mingyu's narcolepsy.
Not only did Song Chenxi sleep late, he also got up before dawn every day and practiced sword in the yard. Ruan Mingyu could only sleep soundly after he left.
Ruan Mingyu waited until Song Chenxi had almost finished practicing swordplay before she got up to water the flowers. Senior Sister, don't worry about him getting bored; he can sleep until the afternoon.
Seeing that he looked lazy, Song Chenxi picked up a small stone and threw it on his head: "Mingyu, come and practice sword with me."
Ruan Mingyu was dozing off while watering the flowers. Song Chenxi didn't use much effort and he didn't even notice the stone was thrown on Ruan Mingyu's head. But Song Chenxi chose the wrong time and chose to throw the stone at him at this time.
The next moment, Ruan Mingyu was so sleepy that he could not hold on any longer and fell asleep on the ground.
The elder sister who witnessed the whole thing shouted, "Oh no! The younger brother was beaten to death by the elder brother!"
Ruan Mingyu was not quite sure what happened afterwards. He only vaguely remembered that Song Chenxi seemed to rush over to catch him, and then suddenly pressed him in the middle.
After waking up, Ruan Mingyu sat up from the bed and found Song Chenxi sitting beside the bed. He stopped pretending and his face was gloomy.
Ruan Mingyu: "What are you doing sitting next to my bed?"
Song Chenxi: "See if you're dead or not."
Ruan Mingyu: "Your words are so harsh."
Song Chenxi: "If you don't like to hear it, just cover your ears."
How did he become such a popular guy with such a bad personality? Is it just his looks?
Ruan Mingyu didn't want to pay attention to him, so he covered his head with the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep with his back to him.
The person next to him sat for a while and then left. Ruan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt oppressed when Song Chenxi was around.
Before he could fall asleep, the man suddenly came back!
Song Chenxi bent down and dragged Ruan Mingyu out of the quilt.
His hand was very cold, and when it touched Ruan Mingyu's wrist, Ruan Mingyu shivered from the cold.
Ruan Mingyu: "What are you going to do?"
Song Chenxi smiled gently: "Be good, take your medicine." He held a bowl of black Chinese medicine in his left hand.
Ruan Mingyu: "I'm not sick, why should I drink?"
Song Chenxi: "People who are sick always like to say they are not sick."
Ruan Mingyu shrank back: "I don't want to drink."
Seeing Ruan Mingyu's big reaction, Song Chenxi wanted to tease him again, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Senior sister said that I made you sick, how can you not drink it? My good junior brother."
He spoke in a sarcastic tone, and Ruan Mingyu's scalp tingled: "I didn't blame you."
Song Chenxi clamped his chin and tried to put the medicine into his mouth.
Ruan Mingyu understood: "You want to play with me!"
Song Chenxi smiled sweetly: "I never said that."
Ruan Mingyu immediately gave in: "Brother, if I have offended you in any way before, I apologize, okay? Please put the medicine on the table for me, and I will drink it myself later."
Song Chenxi slowed down his movements. Seeing that this trick was effective, Ruan Mingyu pulled his sleeve and continued to shout, "Senior Brother..."
Song Chenxi immediately withdrew his hand. Just now, when Ruan Mingyu pulled his sleeve, he accidentally touched his hand.
"I'm a little uncomfortable hearing you call me Senior Brother. Why don't you just keep calling me Brother?"
“…”
Song Chenxi was definitely sent by God to torture him!
"Forget it. Even if Mingyu dies, don't bother me." Song Chenxi felt a little strange in his heart. He frowned and put down the bowl, as if he was thinking about something. He left without saying a word.
Ruan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, people like Song Chenxi would only respond to soft words and not hard ones.
He threw away the medicine while no one was around. Chinese medicine is so bitter that he would never take it even if he was beaten to death.
Song Chenxi disappeared as soon as he left the house. Ruan Mingyu hadn't seen him the whole afternoon, so he felt much better. He went out for a walk to get familiar with the place.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Ruan Mingyu stopped.
There was a senior brother sitting on the stone steps. He had an indifferent temperament and gave off the air of a hermit, but he was... embroidering.
Ruan Mingyu greeted him: "Hello, Senior Brother!"
The embroidery senior brother glanced at him indifferently, with no desire or request in his eyes, and did not respond at all, then lowered his head and continued embroidering.
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
Ruan Mingyu thought that he hadn't seen a normal person since he came here.
The unreliable senior sister, the embroidery senior brother who has no desire to live, and the incompetent and sarcastic Song Chenxi.
What kind of people are he hanging around with? He's jumping out of one pit and into another!
Under the same roof, they couldn't avoid seeing each other. Especially Song Chenxi!
Ruan Mingyu wandered around the mountain. He saw a bunch of bamboo growing on the back mountain. He thought that there would be a lot of bamboo shoots growing next year. He would dig some and make stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
As he wandered around, he tried hard to recall the plot of the original book. He had read the book secretly in class a few years ago, and he had almost forgotten the plot.
Ruan Mingyu racked his brains, and in the end he could only remember that there were about four attackers in the book. Apart from Shen Yanyuan who was unkind and restricted his freedom, the others were the young master of the demon clan, one was from the Hehuan Sect, and the other was a medical practitioner.
Ruan Mingyu only had a vague idea of the plot about the doubles, vaguely remembering that these tops seemed to have asked him to be a double. In short, it was best to avoid the plot. Ruan Mingyu had no interest in getting involved in a melodramatic gay love story.
The environment on the mountain was quiet and suitable for sleeping, but it was too big and he almost couldn't find the way back.
Ruan Mingyu wandered around for most of the day and finally found the way he came when it was almost dark. His feet made a rustling sound as he stepped on the bamboo leaves. Ruan Mingyu took two steps and heard the same footsteps coming from the front.
He looked forward and saw an uninvited guest appearing in the forest. It was Song Chenxi.
The setting sun stained the mottled shadows of the trees golden, and as it fell upon him, his entire being seemed stained with a layer of radiance. From afar, he seemed as graceful and gentle as he appeared, just as he appeared on the surface. However, a closer look into his eyes revealed a disdainful gaze, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.
When he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Ruan Mingyu's eyes, and Ruan Mingyu's figure suddenly appeared in his arrogant eyes.
"Ruan Mingyu, where have you been? Your master is back and wants to see you," he said.
Ruan Mingyu replied: "I understand. I'll go back with you."
Song Chenxi turned and walked ahead. He walked so fast that Ruan Mingyu couldn't keep up. He hurriedly said, "Brother, slow down. The road is so steep. I'm going to fall!"
Song Chenxi maintained his original speed at first, but later found that there was a long distance between him and Ruan Mingyu.
Ruan Mingyu walked like he was walking on a tightrope, holding on to the bamboo beside him to get down.
Song Chenxi stopped and waited for Ruan Mingyu to come over.
Ruan Mingyu had already walked over, but he still didn't move. Ruan Mingyu asked, "Brother, shouldn't we keep going?"
Song Chenxi said with disdain: "Mingyu, you are so slow."
Ruan Mingyu was about to retort: "I didn't ask you to wait for me."
Song Chenxi grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward.
Song Chenxi was very strong, and Ruan Mingyu felt like he was being led by him and flying.
The mountain road was steep and narrow. Ruan Mingyu panicked and said, "Slow down! Let me go! I can't walk anymore!"
Song Chenxi walked forward with a smile on his face.
At the back, Ruan Mingyu was so exhausted that he twisted his ankle and stumbled, falling down with a thud, hitting Song Chenxi. The two of them tumbled down together, Ruan Mingyu's screams echoing through the mountain, until they came to a stop on a gentle slope.
Fortunately, Song Chenxi was there to cushion him, so Ruan Mingyu was not injured. He just felt a pain in his knee, which might have been scratched when he rolled down.
Ruan Mingyu gasped in pain, almost forcing tears out of his eyes, and said angrily, "I just told you to go slower."
Song Chenxi didn't know what he was thinking. His face was calm, without the arrogance that Ruan Mingyu had when they first met. He said, "Get up."
Ruan Mingyu was still pressing on him. He cursed softly, "I told you not to walk so fast," and limped to his feet.
Song Chenxi stood up and dusted off his body. Ruan Mingyu was not very happy and left on his own.
Song Chenxi called him.
"Ruan Mingyu, don't go."
Ruan Mingyu turned around and said resentfully, "If I don't leave, will you carry me on your back?"
Song Chenxi glanced at his limping leg, squatted down, and said, "Yes. Come here, I'll carry you."
Ruan Mingyu's knees hurt so much that he really didn't want to leave. Seeing this, he didn't refuse and immediately put his hands on Song Chenxi's shoulders and changed his tone: "Thank you, senior brother!"
Song Chenxi chuckled. He had never seen Ruan Mingyu like this before. He was cursing people one moment and started calling him "senior brother" the next.
Song Chenxi carried him on his back, walking along the quiet forest path. The person on his back hugged his neck tightly, pressing their body against his back, as if afraid of being thrown off by him.
Song Chenxi pursed her lips. She had never felt so completely relied upon by someone before.
The mountain road was bumpy, and Ruan Mingyu was afraid of being thrown off, so she held him even tighter.
After walking for a while, Song Chenxi suddenly stiffened and said abruptly, "Don't touch my Adam's apple."
Ruan Mingyu said "Oh" and moved his hand a little.
"I didn't mean to do that."
After that, Song Chenxi said nothing more. The two of them walked for a long time and finally reached the exit.
Ruan Mingyu walked for at least an hour that afternoon before he finally reached the mountain. Song Chenxi was truly remarkable; he carried him for such a long time without him even complaining of being tired.
Ruan Mingyu crouched on his back and said, "Brother, you're actually a pretty good person."
Song Chenxi's lips curved slightly, and he heard Ruan Mingyu say, "It would be better if you didn't speak so harshly."
Song Chenxi immediately turned cold: "Little Sparrow, sometimes you'd better keep your mouth shut."
Ruan Mingyu was quiet for a while, but couldn't stop talking. He asked, "Brother, can I ask you a question?"
Song Chenxi said coldly: "Ask."
Ruan Mingyu asked, "What's your name, Senior Sister? What's your name, Master? What's your name, the embroiderer? You... I only know your name."
Song Chenxi: "You, Khan, are recruiting soldiers."
Ruan Mingyu: "We will have to deal with each other in the future, I don't know if the name is too bad."
Song Chenxi sneered: "Why should I tell you?"
Ruan Mingyu said with a forced smile: "Because you are my senior brother."
Song Chenxi was stunned, then looked away and said, "Master Sanqing, Senior Sister Cen Tao, Senior Brother Ji Ying. Oh, that's not my master, that's your master. My master is in seclusion and asked me to come here to study with my uncle."
Ruan Mingyu asked, "Who is your master?"
Song Chenxi: "He also has white hair, but he has no beard."
Along the way, Ruan Mingyu was like a chattering sparrow. Song Chenxi listened to him talking all the way.
It's noisy, but not annoying.
——————
Ruan Mingyu admired Song Chenxi's physical strength. He could walk so fast even with him on his back. The two of them finally returned before dark.
The old man Sanqing had returned a long time ago. It was really unfilial for him to become a master waiting for his apprentice.
Ruan Mingyu got off Song Chenxi's back and stumbled. Song Chenxi held him by the waist to steady him. Although he wasn't walking on his own, he was still tired after a long day and wanted to lie down on the bed and fall asleep immediately.
When Senior Sister Cen Tao saw Ruan Mingyu coming back, she handed him a cup of tea.
Ruan Mingyu took it and said, "Thank you, senior sister." He was very thirsty at the moment and wanted to put the tea into his mouth.
Cen Tao lowered her voice: "Don't drink, go toast to Master."
Ruan Mingyu stopped what he was doing, limped over, and offered tea to the old man Sanqing: "Master, please have some tea."
The old man Sanqing took the tea and took a sip.
"From today on, you will officially become my disciple."
"Thank you, Master!"
He asked the other disciples to leave, leaving Ruan Mingyu alone. Before leaving, Song Chenxi glanced at Ruan Mingyu before leaving.
"I heard from your senior sister that you seem to be ill?"
Apart from being sleepy, Ruan Mingyu really didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
Ruan Mingyu: "Senior sister may be too worried about me, I'm fine, no problem!"
The old man Sanqing asked Ruan Mingyu to stretch out his hand. He examined him for a while, then suddenly his face became serious. He said, "You may not live long."
