Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The person in his arms trembled imperceptibly...
That night.
Xizhou, Pingshun Prefecture.
There was a temple fair going on here, with lanterns and lights hung everywhere, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, making it very lively.
Jiang Yan regretted it as soon as he arrived.
A lot of people.
When we came here, we didn't expect so many people to come and visit.
As the saying goes, it's already here.
Jiang Yan still didn't say anything about going home, as he didn't want to be the one to spoil the fun.
Jiang Yan and Gu Jingyun are both very good-looking. When the two handsome guys walk together, they attract a lot of attention.
Passers-by who passed by them couldn't help but take a sneak peek, walk a few steps, turn back, and take another look...
Jiang Yan pretended to be nonchalant, trying to ignore the people coming and going and focus his attention on the temple fair.
The handicrafts, pearl and jade jewelry, study treasures, and other small items sold by vendors on both sides are dazzling.
Some people were laughing and guessing riddles and winning prizes.
Jiang Yan was born in the magic continent and participated in magician gatherings.
He had seen people shouting and selling crystal balls and magic potions, and had also seen all kinds of strange magic props, but he had never visited a temple fair like this.
There are no magical instruments, and the treasures needed by cultivators rarely appear here.
It is the most common and common temple fair in the mortal world, with the flavor of human life.
Jiang Yan, who had been almost scared off by the huge crowds, became interested again and developed a keen interest in the temple fair.
When visiting a temple fair, you no longer just rush through the attractions.
He would take the initiative to pull Gu Jingyun to the stall to take a closer look.
But there are too many people coming and going, and their footsteps are hurried. Sometimes they are forced to be squeezed apart by the crowd, resulting in a short separation. During this period, bumps and bruises are inevitable.
Jiang Yan didn't like physical contact with strangers, and he pursed his lips unconsciously.
He thought he was being subtle, but he didn't expect that someone could see his little trick.
When another wave of people came, Jiang Yan was frowning, and Gu Jingyun suddenly came over and reached out to grab Jiang Yan's wrist.
Jiang Xianjun's skin was cold white, while Gu Shaozhu's skin was darker. Standing next to each other, it was hard to tell them apart, but when their hands touched, the color difference became very obvious.
The young master is not only taller and has long legs, but also has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. In terms of body shape, he is bigger than Jiang Yan, and even his palms are the same.
If he wanted to, he could wrap Jiang Yan's hand firmly in his palm and hold it tightly, so that the person could not escape or hide, and could only hold his hand obediently.
Gu Jingyun grabbed the white wrist that was exposed from the sleeve. His fingers moved, but he didn't dare to slide down to hold the immortal's hand.
Jiang Yan turned around, looking puzzled: "What's wrong?"
His first reaction was not to break free, but to think that the young master had something to do with him.
Gu Jingyun's palm tightened slightly.
“…There are too many people. Let’s walk closer together to avoid being separated.”
"good."
Jiang Yan agreed immediately, took a few steps, and found that Gu Jingyun had not let go of him yet.
He asked doubtfully, "Do we have to hold hands? I feel like more people are looking at us."
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly and then put his arm around Jiang Yan's shoulders.
Jiang Yan still felt that someone was peeking at them, and keenly heard a few people laughing and saying, "They just held hands secretly, exactly like the plot in the storybook," "They are such a perfect match"...
The girls walked away laughing.
Jiang Yan looked back blankly and stared at their backs.
The arm that was loosely grasped on his shoulders suddenly pressed down hard, hugging him tightly. Jiang Yan was trapped in the young master's arms, and wanted to look, but his vision was immediately blocked and he was hugged even tighter.
"What are you looking at?" the man asked in a deep and unhappy voice.
Jiang Yan said: "It's that girl——"
"Um?"
"I don't know if I heard it right, but she said we are a good match."
"...Is that so?" Gu Jingyun's expression changed immediately: "Ayan has very good hearing, he won't have heard it wrong."
"But there are so many people here that having good hearing is actually a torture. It's not uncommon to mishear a few words when you're distracted."
"Anyway, what she said is right."
Gu Jingyun half-embraced the person and walked to a quiet place on the side. He asked, "Is it very noisy? Do you feel any discomfort in your ears?"
"Fortunately, it's not that painful." Jiang Yan tried to lie.
Gu Jingyun exposed it in a second: "You are just being stubborn."
He raised his hands and covered Jiang Yan's ears tightly, pressing them very tightly to achieve a better soundproofing effect.
The person in his arms trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, and his breathing became disordered.
Jiang Yan was forced to press half of his body against the young master's chest, and the slightly warm body temperature was transmitted through the thin clothes. His ears were covered, and the noisy sound seemed to be separated by a thin film, and he felt much more comfortable instantly.
He could only hear the young master's voice so close to him and his own increasingly violent heartbeat.
The arm that was holding him was extremely strong, and Jiang Yan struggled tentatively.
...can't break free.
Jiang Yan felt a little uncomfortable. They were not on a flying sword where he needed to stand carefully and hold on to it. It was inappropriate to hug and kiss in the street.
Even if we are brothers,
"Don't move, this will avoid bumps." Gu Jingyun said.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yan was confused.
Gu Jingyun said calmly, "I'll hold you in my arms. Even if someone else tries to squeeze in this direction, I'll keep them away. Don't you dislike bumping into other people?"
"...You can find this?"
"certainly."
"Well, all right then."
Jiang Yan resisted the urge to rub his ears.
Gu Jingyun took the person to a secluded place.
It was a place next to a small bridge and flowing water, completely separated from the bustling main street. The hustle and bustle in the distance was blurred by the hazy night.
A bright moon hung high in the sky. A gentle breeze blew by. The lanterns hanging high on the bridge swayed slightly, casting a warm orange light.
Gu Jingyun loosened his hand, and the Immortal King jumped out as nimbly as a rabbit, and was several steps away from him.
“……?” Gu Jingyun was confused and speechless. Why did Ayan lower his eyes and refuse to look at him?
Jiang Yan asked in a muffled voice: "How did you find out?"
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "I am watching you all the time, so I can naturally sense what is on your mind."
Jiang Yan said "Oh" and felt a little touched.
"You care about me so much."
The corners of Gu Jingyun's lips rose slightly.
Jiang Yan praised: "Jing Yun is my best friend."
Gu Jingyun: "...just friends?"
Jiang Yan suddenly realized and replied with a smile: "You are wrong, we should say close friends."
Gu Jingyun's mouth corners straightened quickly: "..."
There is no difference!
Jiang Yan rubbed his ears.
The elf's ears are the most sensitive. The young master covered his ears with his hot palms, and inevitably rubbed his earlobes while moving.
It's really unbearable.
It's okay to rub your ears by yourself, but if someone else's hand touches your ears, I always feel like something is wrong.
If the person who touched his ear was not Gu Jingyun, and had good intentions, Jiang Yan would definitely push that person away.
Gu Jingyun saw Jiang Yan rubbing his ears without saying a word, rubbing so hard that even his ears turned red, and he thought Jiang Yan was feeling very unwell.
"I shouldn't have brought you to such a crowded and noisy place."
Gu Jingyun frowned, grabbed Jiang Yan's hand, and said without hesitation: "Take you back to the inn to rest, and then ask the doctor to treat you."
"No, no need." Jiang Yan's eyes dodged: "I haven't finished visiting the temple fair yet. I just saw someone selling sugar paintings from a distance, but I haven't taken a closer look yet."
"I'll go buy it for you."
"I said that wrong. Actually, I want a clay figurine."
There was no smile in the young master's eyes.
His expression was serious, his eyes were gloomy: "Ayan, you are injured."
"..." Jiang Yan was helpless, "No."
"His ears are red enough to bleed, and his face looks so ugly, yet you still say no?" Gu Jingyun was very worried and leaned forward to see if there was any bleeding inside Jiang Yan's ears.
Jiang Yan couldn't stand it any longer, and glared at him with a red face: "That's because my ears are more sensitive, and you pinched them all the way!"
Gu Jingyun: “???!”
The young master's expression was blank for a moment.
"You, you mean, it's me--" He stuttered rarely.
"Yes, that's right, it's you." Jiang Yan was desperate and said sharply: "I wanted to break free, but you held me and told me to 'stay still'."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Jiang Yan gave up on himself and said, "I don't usually pinch my ears!"
Gu Jingyun: "...I'm sorry."
Jiang Yan: "Don't touch it casually from now on!"
Gu Jingyun: "...Okay."
Jiang Yan finished his words quickly and squatted down on the spot. He hugged his knees and buried his face in them.
The broken hair couldn't cover the red ears, and the crimson color spread all the way to the neck.
Gu Jingyun's expression was extremely complicated.
He actually acted like a lecher. More importantly, he couldn't tell whether Jiang Yan was shy or hurt.
How could this be? ?
Is he going to become a wooden head too?
Jiang Yan refused to look up.
"Go somewhere else and leave me alone." He was extremely determined to drive Gu Jingyun away.
Gu Jingyun said tactfully: "Then I'll go buy you some sugar painting. What shape do you want?"
"I want a horse, like Zhuyue."
"good."
"We also need clay figures." Jiang Yan said.
"Well, what else?"
"No more. Go!"
"Okay, okay, don't be upset, Ayan. I will disappear right now."
The footsteps faded away quickly.
Jiang Yan squatted in the cold wind, his face almost stiffened, but he finally calmed down.
The temperature of my face began to drop and my heart rate gradually returned to normal.
He stamped his numb feet and walked around a few times.
Walking from the beginning to the end of the bridge, he carefully examined the patterns carved on the stones.
An hour passed.
Gu Jingyun still hasn't come back.
"...Why does it take so long?" Jiang Yan was a little uneasy.
She said she was going to buy sugar paintings. Could it be that she was afraid to see him and ran away quietly?
Jiang Yan flipped his wrist.
With a glimmer of light, a peace knot appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Jiang Yan smoothed the tassels hanging below the peace knot and thought:
——If Gu Jingyun really ran away, leaving him alone here in the cold wind, he would take back the title of "best friend" and would not give him the gift!
After waiting for a while, Jiang Yan was about to go look for someone, but he saw Gu Jingyun rushing back quickly using Qinggong not far away.
Jiang Yan put his hands behind his back, holding the peace knot in his hand.
"Sorry for the long wait." Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was winter and he had cold sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Yan said in a guilty conscience, "It seems like you were only gone for an incense stick of time, so you didn't wait long."
The man smiled.
Jiang Yan noticed that the young master was holding a string of sugar paintings and a clay figurine in his left hand.
The sugar painting was indeed in the shape of a foal that resembled Zhuyue, and the clay figurine was a cute little clay figurine whose five senses looked very similar to him.
As for the young master's right hand, it was behind his back, just like him.
Gu Jingyun took the sugar paintings and clay figurines and handed them forward.
"Give."
Jiang Yan didn't answer.
"What do you hold in your right hand?"
Gu Jingyun hadn't noticed it at first, but after hearing what he said, he also discovered Jiang Yan's little action.
...Ayan also had something in his hand, otherwise one should subconsciously ask "why is it behind his back" instead of asking "what is he holding".
"What about you?" Gu Jingyun asked, "What is Ayan hiding from me?"
Jiang Yan: "It's a gift for you."
Gu Jingyun said: "Me too."
Jiang Yan suggested: "Then I'll count down from 321 and take out the gifts at the same time?"
"Okay." Gu Jingyun nodded.
Jiang Yan began to count down: "Three, two, one...!"
They both stretched out their arms at the same time and opened their palms towards each other.
Jiang Yan opened his eyes wide, and Gu Jingyun was speechless for a moment.
"...It turns out that our hearts are the same." Gu Jingyun said softly.
I saw that each of them was holding a peace knot woven with red ropes, the styles were similar but different.
The peace knot in Jiang Yan's hand had a small ring-shaped jade pendant attached to the bottom, which was woven a little crookedly.
The peace knot in Gu Jingyun's hand did not have a jade pendant, but the tassels were long and straight, and woven perfectly, with each thread fittingly where it should be.
"Bought it?" Jiang Yan questioned.
Gu Jingyun smacked his lips and emphasized in a deep voice: "I made it myself!"
"It's only been an hour, how come you were able to weave it successfully?" Jiang Yan felt suffocated, he had been weaving for a whole day!
Gu Jingyun wanted to say that this was not difficult, but when the words reached his throat, he changed direction:
"I practiced hard in the Sword Sect for several days."
Jiang Yan was suspicious: "Are you kidding me?"
The young master raised his eyebrows, acted like an upright saint, and said honestly: "What good is it to lie to you about such a small matter? How long have you been practicing?"
Jiang Yan felt relieved and said that he was not that clumsy.
"Just one day, not much." He hid his pride and pretended to be indifferent.
"Well, Ayan is really amazing." Gu Jingyun was truly calm and he saw through things without saying anything.
Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed by being coaxed.
He stuffed the peace knot into Gu Jingyun's hand, and then took another peace knot gift that belonged to him.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Yan exclaimed. After admiring it, he said honestly, "Actually, my craftsmanship is not good. The one I gave you was a little crooked."
Gu Jingyun looked at every inch carefully and stroked it with his fingers.
"Where is it crooked?"
The young master said in a gentle voice: "It's very cute, I like it very much."
