Chapter 100 The Cat Wants His Brother to Tie Him Up
The two stood there and talked for a few words. Lan Yu was attracted by the candied haws seller next to him and pulled Bai Qingchen's hand forward: "Bai Bai, there are delicious foods over there!"
Bai Qingchen let go of Mo Li's hand and was pulled forward a few steps by Lan Yu. He gave the candied haws he bought to Lan Yu, but Lan Yu found that he had no free hands to receive it.
Mo Li stepped forward and said, "Let me hold the lantern."
Bai Qingchen was worried that Mo Li would be separated by the crowd, so he wanted to put the lantern into the storage bag, but was stopped by Mo Li.
"It's okay, brother, have you forgotten that I'm not a child anymore?"
Bai Qingchen found that he had always treated Mo Li as a child, forgetting that he was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen.
Mo Li has grown a little taller these days, and now the top of his head reaches the tip of his nose.
Mo Li held a lantern in each hand, which looked a little funny, but he didn't care. He looked at Bai Qingchen who was walking beside him.
"Brother, if...if I hide something from you, will you be angry?"
Bai Qingchen looked at the end of a street in deep thought. After hearing this, he turned back and thought for a moment: "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Everyone has their own secrets."
Mo Li looked at him without saying anything, and quickly walked forward to follow Bai Qingchen.
After eating the candied haws, Lan Yu started thinking about his little fox lantern again, so Mo Li had to give it to him.
Just as he got the lantern, Lan Yu's attention was drawn to something else. He pointed to the river not far away and said, "Baibai, let's go release the lanterns. I just heard that you can make a wish by releasing lanterns!"
Today, Bai Qingchen finally experienced the hardships of raising a child.
There are more people by the river than on the street, all crowded together to release lanterns.
There are many lotus lanterns floating on the water, and the candlelight sways in the water, slowly drifting away along the current, gathering into a starry river.
Bai Qingchen found a stall selling lanterns and bought three lotus lanterns.
"You guys write." He gave the lamp to Mo Li and Lan Yu.
Lan Yu took the lamp, glanced at Bai Qingchen secretly, then squatted by the river with his back to them, lowered his head and wrote and drew on the lamp. He wrote very seriously, and his little brows were furrowed.
Bai Qingchen held the lamp in his hand, but didn't know what to write.
He looked at the shadows of the lights on the water, and thought of what he had just said to Mo Li, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"Have you finished writing it?" He asked casually when he saw Mo Li standing beside him.
Mo Li nodded: "Yeah."
"What did you write?"
Mo Li smiled, his eyes a little mysterious: "It won't work if you say it out loud."
Bai Qingchen didn't ask any more questions, and in the end he didn't write anything. He just lit the lamp and put it into the water.
After releasing the lanterns, the three of them walked back.
Lan Yu was really cute. He was holding a fox lantern, and his little face was rosy in the light. People always stopped to tease him along the way.
"This child is so handsome. How old is he?"
A girl in a green dress asked with a smile, but her eyes glanced at Bai Qingchen from time to time.
Lan Yu was a little shy when being teased, so he huddled behind Bai Qingchen and poked his head out to say, "My brother won't let me talk to strangers."
The girl was amused by him and said to Bai Qingchen, "Young Master, you look unfamiliar. Are you from out of town? This lantern festival only happens once a year, and there are lantern riddles ahead. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Bai Qingchen politely shook his head: "No, thank you very much."
Just after sending this person away, two more women came over and kept praising Lan Yu, but their words always turned to Bai Qingchen and Mo Li.
There was even a brave enough one who asked Mo Li directly: "Sir, are you married? My sister is still single..."
Mo Li watched from the side, his face gradually becoming gloomier. He said nothing, but just held Bai Qingchen's hand with increasing strength.
Not only women, but even men frequently looked towards Bai Qingchen. One of them even came over, holding an exquisite butterfly lamp, and said to Bai Qingchen with a smile: "Sir, this lamp is for you. It can be considered fate."
Bai Qingchen was a little overwhelmed by the constant chatter. He was a quiet person and not very good at dealing with such situations. He could only say "Thank you, but no thanks" over and over again.
Mo Li finally couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled Bai Qingchen and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, I'm a little tired, let's go back."
Bai Qingchen was just hoping for that, and nodded immediately: "Okay, let's go back."
Lan Yu was unhappy when he heard that he had to go back: "Ah, I haven't had enough fun yet, there's still ring tossing over there."
"Let's play next time."
Bai Qingchen didn't say anything. Holding Lan Yu's hand with one hand and Mo Li's other hand, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the inn.
Back at the inn, Bai Qingchen called the waiter: "Give me a roast chicken, a fatter one."
When Lan Yu heard there was roast chicken, his eyes lit up immediately. His previous unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and he sat obediently at the table waiting.
The roast chicken was served quickly, shiny and fragrant.
Lan Yu grabbed a chicken leg and started to chew it. His mouth was full of oil and his little face was stained with a lot of sauce. He looked like a little cat stealing food. Bai Qingchen wiped his face with a handkerchief.
After eating the roast chicken, Lan Yu burped, avoided people and secretly turned back into a little fox. He shook his fur and wanted to run to Bai Qingchen's room.
He used to sleep in the same room with Bai Qingchen and was used to it.
As soon as I ran to the door, a hand grabbed the back of my neck.
Mo Li still had a smile on his face, but his tone was unquestionable: "Brother is tired and needs to rest. Don't mess with me."
Bai Qingchen also stood up at this time and said to Mo Li, "You should go back to your room and rest."
Mo Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Qingchen: "Brother, I..."
He wanted to ask if he could share a room with Bai Qingchen, but he swallowed the words back.
Bai Qingchen seemed to see through his thoughts and patted his shoulder: "You've grown up now. You can't always sleep with me. You should get used to sleeping by yourself."
Mo Li didn't say anything else, just nodded: "Okay."
Bai Qingchen glanced at the little fox being held by Mo Li again and said nothing.
He pushed open the door and walked into his room, closing the door behind him, and the lights in the room were quickly turned off.
Outside the door, the little fox Lan Yu whimpered and scratched the door lightly with his claws, as if he was acting coquettishly.
The smile on Mo Li's face faded a little. He lowered his head to look at the little fox in his hand and said in a calm voice: "Brother needs to rest, don't disturb him."
He carried Lan Yu, turned around and walked into the next room, closed the door, and completely separated the noise outside from the silence in the room.
Bai Qingchen was the only one left in the room.
The noise outside the window became farther away and blurred, making the room seem especially quiet.
He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all.
When he talked about his Taoist partner with Mo Li before, he downplayed it, as if he really didn't care, but only he knew that he didn't feel the same way.
To Mo Zhiyuan, they had been separated for four hundred years, but it felt like she had just seen him not long ago.
The torrent of time has left no mark on him.
Mo Zhiyuan is not the kind of person who changes his mind easily, and the friendship between them cannot be diluted easily.
But four hundred years was really too long, so long that he didn't dare to gamble.
The last time he saw Mo Zhiyuan from afar at the martial arts training ground, he was at a high place, with a powerful yet distant aura around him, and his eyes were as cold as ice. He seemed completely different from the Mo Zhiyuan in his memory who would smile at him and usually seemed like a little old-fashioned.
Bai Qingchen turned over and frowned.
If he really forgets me, I will ask my brother to tie him up, and then...
But on second thought, with my brother's current level of cultivation, I'm afraid he can no longer defeat Mo Zhiyuan.
He sighed, his mind in a mess. Sometimes he thought about Mo Zhiyuan, and sometimes he thought about how to start the conversation after returning to Lingxiao Sect. As he thought about it, his eyelids became heavier and he felt sleepy.
In the other room, Mo Li put Lan Yu on the bed.
The little fox did not sleep in the same room with Bai Qingchen. He curled up into a ball feeling aggrieved and covered his face with his tail.
Mo Li sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the furry little thing, feeling a little helpless.
Ah Qing is always soft-hearted and likes to pick up small animals wherever he goes.
The fur balls he rescued in his previous life all left after their injuries healed, leaving only Yoyo.
If these two were to get together, they would probably overturn Hanyuan Peak.
Mo Li leaned against the head of the bed, looking out the window. The lights outside were still on, reflected in his eyes, and his emotions could not be seen clearly.
