Chapter 44 Chapter 44 It was like a feather passing through my heart. …
Jiang Yan actually felt guilty.
Back then, he had sworn to his master that "it is impossible to hide people", but today he broke his oath and hid a tall man in his bedroom.
Fortunately, Master is not here, otherwise I don’t know how to face him.
Gu Jingyun deliberately asked: "Where are you going today?"
Jiang Yan looked away embarrassedly: "...That was an excuse I used to fool my senior brother. I don't have to go anywhere."
——Because Gu Jingyun has arrived.
Gu Jingyun said calmly on the surface, "So that's how it is," but he was actually secretly happy and somewhat fortunate.
If he had not been decisive enough to say goodbye to his parents as soon as he came out of seclusion, and then had the good fortune to get a flying boat, he might have missed Jiang Yan.
When he arrived in Xizhou, Jiang Yan told him that he was in Dongzhou.
That would be the end.
The two stood facing each other for a while, both feeling that this was a bit silly.
Gu Jingyun asked: "What do you usually do?"
Jiang Yan: "At this time, if I don't have classes, I will take care of the medicinal fields in the backyard."
Gu Jingyun found it strange.
He knew that Jiang Yan was planting spiritual plants in the backyard, and they had video calls occasionally. It happened that Jiang Yan was sitting aside to rest after taking care of the spiritual plants.
From beginning to end, the medicinal field was just a background, and Gu Jingyun had never seen it up close.
Jiang Yan took the initiative to ask: "Shall I take you to see it?"
Gu Jingyun: "Okay."
Even Fan Yang had left. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the entire courtyard.
Gu Jingyun followed Jiang Yan out of the door openly and went to the backyard together.
There is a small open space in the backyard enclosed by a fence, where spiritual plants are planted that are not afraid of winter wind and snow.
There is also a greenhouse in the corner. It looks ordinary from the outside, but as soon as you walk in, warm wind blows on your face.
There is a tool storage area next to the greenhouse door.
Gu Jingyun recognized at a glance the farming set he had sent for taking care of the medicinal fields - it was a tool that had been unanimously praised by the medical practitioners in Qingfeng Valley.
The straw hat that could automatically expand and shrink was also among them, hanging firmly on the wall.
Jiang Yan picked up the straw hat and was about to put it on his head, but when he raised his hand halfway, he suddenly remembered that it was Gu Jingyun who helped him to comb his hair today.
The straw hat is not hollow, so wearing it is likely to mess up your hairstyle.
It doesn’t matter at other times, but today…
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, turned it around in his hand, and put it back.
A hand stretched out and grabbed the straw hat.
"There aren't many magical instruments of this type, and they have no other uses except for decoration. This one wasn't originally in the tool set, and I had someone make it specifically for me. I'll give it to you to enjoy."
Gu Jingyun used his index finger to hold the hat and turned it around, and said thoughtfully: "I didn't think of the hair crown at that time...I didn't think it through."
Jiang Yan said: "There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, if you want to wear it, you can still wear it, and it will get bigger by itself."
Gu Jingyun: "Usually——"
Jiang Yan: "Without you, no one will help me comb my hair, tie it up, and put on a beautiful jade crown."
There was sincerity in the immortal king's brows, and Gu Jingyun's figure was reflected in his eyes.
He said seriously, "I just don't want to mess up the hair you combed for me."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Gu Jingyun almost blurted out that he was willing to comb your hair for the rest of your life.
But Jiang Yan took away the straw hat that Gu Jingyun was spinning in his hand immediately after he finished speaking. His expression was as if he was afraid that the naughty children from relatives' families would come to visit and accidentally smash his treasure while playing around.
Gu Jingyun didn't even have the chance to speak.
"I'm going to water the flowers." Jiang Yan said, "Move aside."
Gu Jingyun was full of desire to perform, but was worried about where to display it.
Hearing this, he immediately said, "Let me do it."
Jiang Yan couldn't persuade him, so he had to hand over the kettle.
Each spiritual plant has its own planting precautions.
These plants like moisture, so they need more watering. The other plant doesn't like it, and it died if you water it too much.
This patch of soil is growing well, so it's time to turn the soil. That patch was turned the day before yesterday, so it's not time to turn it again.
Jiang Yan was very worried, fearing that some young master might kill his flowers and plants on impulse.
He had no choice but to follow closely behind, keeping a close eye on the whole process and not daring to be distracted.
Fortunately, Gu Jingyun was careful and thoughtful, and treated every spiritual plant with great care - even a little too enthusiastic. No matter how big or small the matter was, if he didn't understand something, he would turn to Jiang Yan and ask.
Even more afraid of messing up than Jiang Yan himself.
Taking care of the medicinal field in this way will naturally slow down the process.
Most people will lose their curiosity in the boring and repetitive process after trying it for a while, and either finish it anyway or give up.
But Gu Jingyun bent over to tend to the flowers and plants, but his face showed no impatience, instead...
Looks pretty happy?
Jiang Yan didn't understand, so he asked, "Jing Yun, do you also like farming and growing flowers?"
Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly: "Not interested."
Jiang Yan was confused: "If you are not interested, why are you so excited?"
Gu Jingyun said: "Just because you are here."
When he said this, his heart trembled.
The hint was so obvious that Ayan should have understood what he was thinking.
...How will Ayan respond?
Under Gu Jingyun's close gaze, the handsome young man who looked like a fairy in a painting was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
Gu Jingyun's heart was suddenly lifted up.
Do you want to refuse?
Xiao Jiangxianjun thought for a while and finally realized it!
"I see--"
Gu Jingyun held his breath, his palms tightened unconsciously, and he gripped the handle of the kettle even tighter.
The Immortal King gave him a faint smile.
Gu Jingyun felt that it was going to work, and joy gradually filled his heart.
Xiao Jiangxianjun said happily: "Young Master, you think I taught you well, right? So the boring farming has become extra interesting!"
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
With a "bang".
The fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the spiritual spring water splashed everywhere.
Jiang Yan panicked: "How did you burst the kettle?"
"Sorry, I lost my grip in the excitement."
There was no extra expression on the young master's face except numbness. If you look closely, you can see a hint of death in his eyes.
The kettle exploded at close range, and no one could escape the spray of water.
Fortunately, the kettle was not big, and most of the spiritual spring water had been used up before, so there was no time to refill it. Both of them had their outer clothes slightly wet, but Gu Jingyun was wet more.
This is nothing at all, it can be done with just a little spiritual energy.
"I'll compensate you with another kettle." Gu Jingyun took a deep breath and said with a look of despair.
"You were the one who gave it to me, why are you talking about whether I should compensate you or not?"
Jiang Yan frowned and stepped forward.
"Is your hand okay?"
"Nothing."
"Let me see."
Jiang Yan was so concerned that he completely forgot that the Young Master Gu in front of him was a swordsman who could reach the Void Refinement level.
Not to mention a small kettle, he can even flatten a mountain.
"Don't hold on to the broken pieces."
Jiang Yan grabbed Gu Jingyun's hand and applied a little force, forcing him to open his palm, then lowered his head to check nervously.
Gu Jingyun: “…”
The slightly cool fingertips touched the man's warm palm, and the index finger even slid gently, like a light feather passing over the heart.
The inexplicable itch spread from the knuckles to the palms, and then through the blood flowing through the limbs and bones, and into the heart.
The man's body stiffened for a moment.
Jiang Yan didn't notice.
He quickly slapped the kettle fragments away from the man's palm, made sure his palm was intact under the fragments, and then let go.
The whole process takes no more than three seconds.
After letting go, Jiang Yan seemed to hear someone sighing.
Jiang Yan looked around and then stared at Young Master Gu for a while.
Gu Jingyun's expression remained unchanged: "I told you it's okay."
He lowered his arms, put one hand behind his back, and clenched his fist.
Jiang Yan dried the clothes himself and reminded, "Hurry up and use your spiritual power to dry the clothes."
"Um."
"Young Master, why don't you move your hands? Are you really injured?"
“…”
"Let me see—"
"! No need!"
"?"
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jingyun blankly as he used his inner strength to dry his coat so quickly that it seemed as if his life was in a hurry.
Jiang Yan thought to himself:
Although the young master is mature and steady, he sometimes loses his composure and does strange things.
It’s not a big problem. As close friends, we should tolerate our friend’s misbehavior and learn to turn a blind eye.
Didn't you just burst the kettle by accident and end up spilling water all over yourself?
It’s no big deal.
Jiang Yan believed that he still had a conscience, and he would not make fun of his friend's dark history.
Definitely different from someone!
**
In the afternoon, Gu Jingyun said again that he wanted to see the places Jiang Yan often went.
Jiang Yan took him to the bluestone path they walked on every day, and then to the bamboo forest where they practiced swordplay.
Jiang Yan didn't like crowded places, so he always walked on deserted paths. Gu Jingyun had "illegally" entered the Hehuan Sect, and if he was caught, he would be fined and put on the blacklist.
The two of them had to avoid people. Occasionally, when they saw other disciples from afar, they would silently and tacitly avoid them.
All the way into the woods.
The dead leaves were covered with white snow. Jiang Yan looked back and saw two sets of footprints walking side by side. He was standing in the familiar place where he had heard lovers kissing. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind.
He tried hard to capture it, but the inspiration flashed away so quickly that nothing was left.
Jiang Yan thought for a long time, but felt lonely.
never mind.
Jiang Yan would never make things difficult for himself and gave up immediately.
Anyway, if you can't remember something, it must not be something important.
The young master was just a few steps away from him, dressed in black, carrying a long sword, his back straight as a pine tree.
His black hair was tied into a high ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging down at his temples. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his eyes were smiling, making him handsome and unparalleled.
This situation, this scene, this time and this place.
Jiang Yan only wanted to do one thing.
He drew his sword from its sheath, his expression solemn:
"Young Master, please fight with me."
Gu Jingyun asked: "Want to spar?"
Jiang Yan: “Yes.”
"I am two realms older than you."
"No problem."
"If there is no jackpot on such a good day, I won't do it."
"What does the young master want?"
Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "There happens to be a temple fair in Pingshun Prefecture recently, and the two places are not far away. If Ayan loses, he will accompany me to the temple fair, how about that?"
"Okay." Jiang Yan asked, "What if you lose?"
Gu Jingyun said: "Then I will accompany you to the temple fair."
Jiang Yan: “…”
What is the difference.
You have to go anyway, right?
