Chapter 246 Extra: Mr. Snail (3)
Yan Fengchen thought that maybe the other party would not come, so he could only take a breath and fall asleep peacefully. But who knew that when he woke up the next morning, the table was full of food again.
Looking at the food, the man felt a little depressed. He was clearly just a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest movement, so why didn't he notice these things?
Moreover, could the other party be able to see through me and know when I am pretending to doze and when I am really asleep?
Thinking of this, Yan Fengchen stayed in the room all day, wanting to see what changes would happen if he stayed in the room. But when the night came, the room remained unchanged. It was only when dinner time came that there was a knock on the door.
This was his place of retreat, almost unknown to anyone. Unless something unexpected happened, no one from the sect would come to disturb him.
So Yan Fengchen immediately perked up and went to the door. But when he opened the door, he saw no one, only a large food box at the door.
It’s easy to guess who sent it.
After walking around a few times, there was still no trace of him. The person who brought the food seemed like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Yan Fengchen narrowed his eyes and took the lunch box back to his room. The food inside was still delicious. After a satisfying dinner, the man had a new plan this time.
He first went out to the nearest house, got some bells and thin wires, tied them to the doors and windows, and then lay down to rest.
He didn't believe that with all these, the man could still come quietly.
That night, Master Yan slept lightly again. But when he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and the table was filled with food again.
The strange thing was that none of the bells rang. The food appeared, but the bells didn't move.
In the past, Yan Fengchen only suspected that there was a hermit master, but now, he began to suspect that the other party might not be a human at all, but a ghost in the mountains.
Otherwise, if it is a human, who can leave no trace at all?
But even if it was a ghost, why would it do this to him? This wasn't like what those legends and stories said. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it hadn't come out to scare or harm him, but it actually did his laundry, cooked, and kept house.
Yan Fengchen couldn't understand why. He had lived in this valley for a long time, yet things like this had only recently started happening. But when he thought about it, nothing special had happened recently, and he didn't think he had provoked anything during that time.
I just can't guess, so I can only give up.
Yan Fengchen didn't stay in the valley all the time; he occasionally had his own things to do. After all, the entire Yanlong Sect had just been handed over to his disciple Lai Xiujie, and the other party's leader's position was not a sure thing.
One day, Yan Fengchen left to go back to the church to help with some matters. On his way back in the evening, he encountered the assassin from Yinlou.
He had many enemies in his life, so it was normal for someone to hire a killer to kill him. Although the killers of Yinlou were killed by him in the end, the man was still not far away and a shallow wound was cut on the back of his hand.
Of course, this is just a small matter for him, a man of the world.
So Yan Fengchen returned to his residence in the valley with injuries.
He had returned late and had already dined out. Strangely, the other person seemed to know his daily life very well. This time, the table wasn't filled with dinner, but two plates of snacks.
What's even more strange is that there is a bottle of medicine next to the two plates of snacks.
It was obvious that this medicine was for the wound on the back of his hand.
He picked up the medicine on the table, opened it, and took a gentle sniff. Yan Fengchen could immediately tell from the smell that this medicine was of top quality, probably even better than the ones the sect had given him in the past. Just by looking at the white jade bottle, he knew it was worth a fortune.
He noticed it when he came back. There was nothing unusual outside, and there was still no one in the room.
Yan Fengchen didn't bother to think about it. He really didn't think he needed any medicine for the small wound on the back of his hand. In the martial arts world, who doesn't lick blood on the tip of a knife?
He simply placed the medicine bottle back on the table and instead took a keen interest in the two plates of pastries. He picked up one and took a bite. The filling seemed to be made of date paste, very dense and smooth. The milk cake on the other plate looked plump and white, with a rich milky aroma. It was also very delicious.
The man didn't hesitate and stopped after eating most of the food. He then washed up and lay down to rest.
For some reason, Yan Fengchen had a premonition that perhaps tonight he would be able to catch the guy who had been sending him things in a mysterious way.
Yan Fengchen's thoughts were indeed correct. In Bai Su's opinion, the time was almost right. After all, he didn't do all these things just to be a guardian or an unknown hero. The mystery he had created was just to pique his lover's interest.
However, seeing that Yan Fengchen did not use the medicine he specially found for the wound, Bai Su felt a little unhappy, thinking that his partner did not take good care of him.
Perhaps this was just a minor injury in the eyes of men. In the martial arts world, where swords flash and swords flash, losing lives at any time is common, so such a scratch is not worth worrying about. But Bai Su couldn't help but care. He didn't want his lover to suffer the slightest harm.
So when he heard the man's steady breathing in the room at night, Bai Su showed up.
He transformed into a human form and came to the bedside. Seeing that the other person seemed to be really asleep, he sighed inwardly. Then he picked up the medicine bottle on the table and walked over. He opened the bottle and scooped out a little ointment from it, then gently applied it to the back of the man's hand.
Although Bai Su's movements were light, he knew that with such contact, the other party would wake up no matter what.
As expected, Yan Fengchen, who hadn't been fully asleep to begin with, immediately woke up. He could sense someone beside him, their presence even within arm's reach. Almost subconsciously, before he even opened his eyes, the man reached out and grasped the sleeve of the person before him.
When the man finally opened his eyes and saw the person opposite him clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.
Yan Fengchen had thought countless times about who this guy who was always playing tricks recently was. He thought that the other party might be a person with great martial arts skills, an old man with gray hair and beard, or a ghost with a terrifying appearance.
However, he never imagined that the person standing in front of him would be a young man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old at most.
The boy was thin and frail, yet he had a pleasant round face. His large, bright, single-lidded eyes seemed to hold a spring of clear water. His nose was delicate, his lips were jade-like, and his features were charming and charming. His skin was white and translucent, like cream.
The boy's black hair was loose and simply tied up with a white hairpin.
I don’t know what material that white hairpin is made of, but it actually has a faint pearly luster like shells.
One of the other person's hands was still covering the back of his hand, and the other hand was holding a medicine bottle, obviously helping him apply medicine.
The man could feel the warmth of Bai Su's slender fingers on the back of his hand. For a moment, he felt as if his soul had been taken away.
Yan Fengchen felt that he couldn't take his eyes off him at all. He had never seen such a handsome and cute boy before, and he couldn't help but breathe lighter.
The other party seemed like an immortal who had fallen into the mortal world, confused and ignorant, as if he had not yet fully understood this world.
In particular, the boy's eyes were filled with surprise and fear when he looked at him, like a frightened deer. It was obvious that he had never expected that he would wake up.
"Who are you?"
Yan Fengchen asked Bai Su, his voice a little hoarse, his eyes fixed on Bai Su, his deep eyes seemed to suck him in completely.
But Bai Su didn't answer him directly, and even stepped back as if frightened. After taking two steps back, he seemed to realize that his robe sleeve was firmly grasped by the man.
Yan Fengchen wanted to laugh when he saw this, but the next second, the young man opposite him struggled desperately to break free from him, and then disappeared right in front of him.
Seeing the young man vanish into thin air, Yan Fengchen was momentarily shocked. Although he had previously suspected that he was no ordinary person, witnessing such a miraculous scene with his own eyes still left him astonished.
The man hurriedly got out of bed and searched everywhere in the room, but he could not find any trace of the other person inside or outside the house.
But this time, Yan Fengchen was unwilling to give up. He was inexplicably worried that if he really scared the person, the person would never come again.
The man at this moment may not have fully sorted out his feelings, but he is very clear that he still wants to see the young man just now, no matter who he is.
He even felt a sense of fear, afraid that the meeting just now would be a farewell forever.
If he had known this earlier, he would rather not wake up. Maybe he would have the chance to sneak a few more glances at the boy in the future.
After searching outside for the entire night, the disappointed man finally returned to the room in the early morning.
Then he found the warm food still on the table.
The moment he saw the food, the man finally became happy.
Great, he didn't scare the little guy away!
Although he didn't know the exact reason, since the young man was still willing to prepare meals for him, it meant that he would stay by his side. This realization undoubtedly gave Yan Fengchen the best encouragement.
He was certain that the young man was not a ghost, as he had indeed felt his robe sleeve last night. He was just unsure of what he was, and how he could have such a spell.
Moreover, since there is breakfast, the other party will definitely show up in the evening.
Yan Fengchen's mind raced. After breakfast, he began to make a plan. In the afternoon, he pretended to go out. In reality, he found an opportunity to sneak back into his room. Then, he jumped onto the beam and hid, deliberately creating the illusion that no one was in the room.
Although he didn't know if he could succeed, he had to give it a try. He thought that if he could trick the boy, he would be able to let his guard down.
And so we waited until night, when it was dark outside and everything was quiet.
Bai Su, who had already seen through everything with his spiritual sense and had almost guessed his lover's strategy, smiled secretly in his heart. However, he still pretended to be ignorant and walked into the room with an air of complete ignorance.
As soon as he came in, Yan Fengchen quickly jumped down from the beam and grabbed Bai Su directly.
