Unripe green dates
The birdsong in the mountains was melodious. The top of the RV's bed was hollowed out and a window was installed, letting the morning light in. Yi Nian frowned and pulled up the quilt to cover his head.
Wu Siqi closed his eyes and tightened his arms to block some of the sunlight for her. Their hair was tangled together on the pillow, just like their fate.
She fell into a deep sleep again, and when she opened her eyes the next time, the little guy who woke her up was doing something naughty.
Wu Siqi ruffled her limp short hair and asked her, "Are you awake?"
Yi Ning didn't open his eyes or move his restless lips, and squeezed out a "hmm" from his throat.
Wu Siqi closed his eyes and let her take whatever she wanted.
It wasn't until the person in her arms groaned and twisted his body that she asked again, "Does it still hurt?"
Last night she had hurt Ning Ning without using enough force, causing her to drop her little pearl. This frightened her so much that she was now extremely concerned about her physical condition.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." She closed her eyes and moved away from the other person's front, pouting her lips and moving upwards to explore, looking for the beauty's lips.
Wu Siqi gently kissed her thin lips, quickly pulled away, and asked again: "Then why are you frowning with your eyes closed? Are you still uncomfortable there? I'm sorry."
"Um~ No~" Yi Ning hurriedly shook his head in her arms, the soft ends of his hair caressing her neck, his voice filled with a coquettish tone: "It's just that I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm afraid that as soon as I open my eyes, Xiao Wu will fly away again."
Wu Siqi held her close, patted her back gently with his broad palm, and whispered softly in her ear, "It's not a dream, I'm here."
Her words caused the girl in her arms to chuckle a few times. The girl's movements became more presumptuous, her thin lips sliding across her skin like flowers blooming, and the sound of conversation in the room gradually became more charming.
The two of them lingered in bed for a long time, not getting up until the sun was high in the sky. They stood side by side in front of the mirror brushing their teeth. She looked at him with tenderness in her eyes, "Are you so happy?"
Her eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, but unfortunately her mouth was full of foam and she could only gurgle "hmm".
"fool."
Wu Siqi raised his hand to help her push the tuft of white hair behind her ear, and combed her sleep-messy hair with his five fingers. "Take another shower before you go. We still have a long way to go to the city."
Yi Ning bit the toothbrush and said "hmm" again, spit out the foam in her mouth and then said: "Let me drive from now on. Xiaowu, your driving skills are so poor that you can even knock down a triangular pestle." After saying that, she blinked her left eye mischievously.
She pinched the guy's smooth face in revenge, said okay and went out, closing the bathroom door for her. "You take a shower first, I'll go heat up breakfast."
Yi Ning walked out, wiping her hair in an awkward manner. Her immortal body could avoid water, but she did not dare to use that power for fear of being noticed by the underworld.
Wu Siqi walked over and took the towel from her hand, saying softly, "Be gentle with yourself." He held the towel and gently wiped her hair.
"Xiao Wu, can you help me blow dry my hair? I don't know how." Yi Ning hugged her and acted coquettishly.
The two stood in front of the bathroom mirror. Wu Siqi picked up the hair dryer whose power cord was fixed to the wall. She was much taller than Yi Ning, so she could help blow her hair by just raising her hand.
Perhaps because she had shaved his hair, Yi Ning's hair became much shorter, too long to be tied into a braid. He was afraid of the wind and kept his eyes closed. His soft black hair passed through his fingers, and Wu Siqi was as soft as water.
It really is like a dream.
For the last hundred kilometers, Wu Siqi sat in the passenger seat. She turned on her phone, booked a slightly better star-rated hotel online, and then changed the navigation destination to that location.
The car was driving steadily. She leaned against the window with her chin in her hand, her eyes staring at the receding road, her mind full of thoughts.
After putting down their small luggage at the hotel, the two of them, like tourists, looked for an Internet-famous restaurant, which was ranked number one on the xx website's must-eat list, and one had to queue for more than an hour to eat there.
They both put down their chopsticks, smiled at each other, and said in unison: "We were cheated."
Yi grinned with great joy, "We waited in line for over an hour for nothing. We might as well have gone to McDonald's."
"Now that I'm here, I didn't expect the taste of Datong to become like this." Wu Siqi picked up the water glass, took a sip, and then paid the bill.
Datong is very cool even in summer. Wu Siqi put on a long-sleeved shirt. Many tourists were walking hurriedly with suitcases on the road, while she walked slowly among them holding Yi Ning's hand.
"Do you remember how to get to that park?" Wu Siqi asked her.
Yi Ning took a half step forward, tilted his head and smiled smugly: "Of course!"
His thumb unconsciously rubbed the back of her hand, and Wu Siqi smiled and said, "Lead the way, Little Black Cat Sheriff."
"Yes, officer!" she responded in a bright and lively voice.
It was already autumn, and walking on the streets under the sun didn't make people feel hot. Every time they passed a place, Yi Ning would tell her what this place was like when they lived here before.
"You used to love coming here to buy pancakes. I couldn't transform back then, so I'd stand on your shoulders and come here with you. The kids always loved talking to you, and you've always been very popular ever since then."
She pouted as she spoke.
Wu Siqi glanced at the person's jealous look and said calmly, "They are here to see you. The one who is popular is the cute black and white kitten."
"Oh~ Hum." Yi Ning still pursed his lips and turned his head away capriciously. "Back then, you didn't allow me to speak outside and let those kids touch me. I hate kids the most. They would even pull my hair with their stubborn hands, and you wouldn't allow me to bite them back."
She looked ahead and explained to the kitten, "It would be beneficial for your cultivation if you could feel more of the spiritual energy of other people. Isn't it you who most want to become a human, cat monster?"
"That's right. I was so weak. Luckily, Big Daddy and Xiaowu protected me at that time." Yi Ning lowered his brows, thinking back to the days when he was bullied by goblins and other big monsters in the mountains.
Hand in hand, they crossed the cross street. Wu Siqi smiled and said, "You are no longer weak. You are the five-hundred-year-old great demon Master Yi Ning. However, you must explain to me in detail what this immortal body that Hou Tu Niang has bestowed upon you is about."
"Well," Yi Ning thought for a moment and gathered his thoughts before saying, "Well, this is a big problem. The Queen Mother Hou Tu has planted a divine soul within my three souls and seven spirits, thereby granting me her power and allowing me to possess the ability of a ghost messenger."
Yi Ning: "The four hundred years of sentence will be extended to next winter. When the deadline is up, I will still be summoned back to the underworld by the power of Hou Tu Niangniang. She will extract my soul. Pan Cui is so vengeful that he will definitely catch me and throw me into the reincarnation well." As she said this, she lowered her head and began to worry.
"I'm sorry, Xiaowu. I got into big trouble."
She choked and seemed about to cry.
Wu Siqi stopped, held her face in his hands, and said to her gently, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Don't talk about it now, don't think about it. I'm by your side now, and I will accompany you through this difficult time."
Wu Siqi: "You are under my care. As long as I am here, you will be here too."
Hearing this, Yi Ning was stunned at first, then he smiled and said "Hmm!" in a loud voice. He took her hand back and said, "The park is just ahead. Come with me. The tree is already bearing fruit at this time."
But the fruit is still green, Wu Siqi thought.
The park has dug an artificial lake with a Ferris wheel standing high. Many elderly people are walking briskly in it for exercise. All they see is green, full of vitality, which is refreshing.
Yi Ning was still dressed up today, and her light-colored skirt was perfect for strolling in the park. Pulling the hand she was holding back, Wu Siqi picked up her phone with his other hand and called out to her, "Look at the camera."
Yi Ning looked back blankly. The camera clicked twice, and she immediately smiled. She made a scissors hand gesture next to her eyes, and raised the corners of her lips to reveal her little fangs. "Yeah~"
Wu Siqi smiled and pressed the shutter button repeatedly, "So old-fashioned! Change your pose."
After taking several pictures, Yi Ning pulled Wu Siqi's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "Xiao Wu, we haven't taken a picture together yet."
"It seems so. Let's take some photos together." Wu Siqi smiled gently.
They had unknowingly walked to the jujube tree. Wu Siqi randomly picked a female college student passing by and handed her his phone: "Could you take a few photos for us?"
The female college student said of course no problem, took the phone, and stepped back a few steps, "Call me when you're ready!"
Wu Siqi took her left hand, interlocked their fingers, and whispered, "What pose do you want to strike?"
"Yeah~" Yi Ning put his scissors hand on her chin and said to the female college student, "Hurry up and take a picture."
"Okay."
The two of them changed poses, and the female college student took several photos of them in each pose using both horizontal and vertical screens.
After she finished taking the photo, Yi Ning pulled Wu Siqi over and she took the phone back, bowing like a little cat. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Have fun." The female college student waved her hand and left.
Yi Ning took out her phone, swiping left and right through the album to look at the photos, and kept exclaiming: We two are such a good match. Wu Siqi listened to her exclamations and smiled with her teeth showing.
"It's a pity that the dates are not ripe yet." She lowered her hands and looked up. The dates on the date tree were green in color, without any red at all.
Wu Siqi looked up following her gaze, and saw lush greenery everywhere. The jujube trees were growing well, with lush branches and leaves, and they were bearing many small green jujubes.
The child kept every word she said in his heart, chewing it over and over again for four hundred years, turning his longing for her into a reason to persevere.
