Yun Nie let out a small cry of surprise.
He subconsciously put his arm around Sang Yue's other shoulder, and his hand holding the bamboo tube was so stiff that he could hardly hold it. He was afraid that the thing would fall and dirty Sang Yue, so he put away the rest of the things in his arms.
"Master." He blurted out, but didn't know what to say next.
Sang Yue looked at him, his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and he smiled: "Don't look at me, look ahead."
So Yun Nie looked forward and saw a sea of flowers.
This is a deep lake with tall trees planted along the lakeside. The trees are crowded with pink and white crabapple flowers. The delicate and small flowers are clustered together and hang heavily on the branches, as if the whole tree has turned into a flower.
There are so many crabapple trees growing endlessly along the lakeshore, with lanterns hanging among them, and the warm light makes the cold lake water sparkle. The night wind unscrupulously blows up the vast sea of flowers, innocent and romantic like endless pink gauze dancing in the wind.
Countless pink and white petals intertwined and danced, flying across the vast night sky, across the bustling crowds of people, and gently flew towards Yun Nie and Sang Yue, landing on their bodies and hair.
Yun Nie stretched out his hand and caught a petal.
He was stunned by the beautiful scenery of the vast sea of smoke and blooming flowers.
After a long time, a night that Yun Nie would never forget, Sang Yue asked him, "Did it look good?"
Yunnie nodded: "It looks good."
"Are you happy?"
"happy!"
The crowd moved slowly, and Sang Yue held Yun Nie and moved forward slowly. The closer they got to Guifei Lake, the clearer Yun Nie could see.
The beautiful and delicate crabapple flowers break with a gentle pinch. Countless flowers are connected together, yet so magnificent that it seems as if once you fall into them, you will never be able to escape this tenderness.
...By the way, Begonia.
Yun Nie looked down at his clothes. The sky-blue fabric was embroidered with crabapple flowers.
The master must have seen it a long time ago. He thought it was very beautiful, so he wanted to take me to see it too.
A string of small bubbles like crabapple flowers emerged from the bottom of my heart.
"Xiao Nie, do you think Luoshui City is good?"
"good."
"What's good about it?"
“There are a lot of people, it’s lively and beautiful.”
"Yes." Sang Yue laughed softly, "So Xiao Nie, you must remember that such a beautiful place is maintained by everyone. Don't think about hurting others, don't worry about being hurt by others every day, even if there are offenders, they will be punished. That's why people dare to travel, trade, travel and live here with peace of mind, and that's how Luoshui City is today."
Yun Nie was silent for a while, then bent down and hugged Sang Yue's head.
His face pressed against the smooth hair, he said, "I understand, Master."
After holding him like this for quite a while, Sang Yue shook the child who was dependent on him and laughed at him, wondering if he was shy.
Yun Nie stuck to Sang Yue, hesitating and shaking his head, refusing to go down.
It was not until Sang Yue carried him to the edge of Guifei Lake and asked him if he wanted to release lotus lanterns that Yun Nie jumped out of his master's arms.
As he got closer, Yun Nie saw that a narrow stream extended from Guifei Lake to the side, forming a river. There was a curved bridge over the river. Many people were standing on the river bank, releasing lotus lanterns into the river one after another.
They were made into various kinds of bright and beautiful lights, floating away along the water.
What is this doing?
"People believe that writing a wish on a lotus lantern and releasing it down the river will convey the wish to the water god and make it come true."
"real?"
"Maybe sincerity will do the trick."
"..." Yun Nie grabbed Sang Yue's sleeve and shook it gently, "Master."
Sang Yue clearly guessed it, but he just didn't agree directly and insisted on asking him: "Just say what you want to say, otherwise Master won't know what Xiao Nie is thinking."
Yun Nie pursed his lips and said awkwardly: "Master, please help me write, I want to release the lotus lantern."
Of course Sang Yue would not refuse such a small request. He smiled and praised Xiao Nie for being so well behaved. He took him to buy two lotus lanterns with little birds standing on them.
When Sang Yue was writing about his own lamp, Yun Nie came over quietly and stared at him eagerly. His black eyes, illuminated by the lamplight, were full of curiosity.
Sang Yue neither drove him away nor avoided him, he just wrote his own works.
Sure enough, as Yun Nie looked at it, his curious little eyes wilted.
Can't read.
Being illiterate is terrible.
But at this time, Sang Yue spoke slowly: "Master's wish is very simple. I hope that Xiao Nie will grow up safely and happily. Do you think this wish can be realized?"
So the wilted boy stood up again, pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
It was Yun Nie's turn. Sang Yue looked at him while holding the pen: "What wish do you want to make?"
Yun Nie thought about it, quietly grabbed Sang Yue's sleeve, and looked persistently at the man who gave him everything: "I want to make a wish that Yun Nie and Sang Yue will be together forever."
Sang Yue was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and scolded him, dotting a small red flower on his forehead with ink: "Little bastard, you dare to call Master by his full name?"
But Yun Nie was not afraid. He was not afraid even when he pretended to have a stern face, let alone when he smiled.
Yun Nie is now only afraid of one thing, that his master will not let him write it.
So he explained carefully: "I heard that anyone who has taught a person is considered a teacher. What if the water god recognizes the wrong person? So writing the name is the most accurate."
That's really thoughtful.
Sang Yue snorted lightly, glanced at him sideways, smiled brightly, and with the corners of his lips slightly raised, he picked up the pen and wrote a line of elegant small words with a mixture of anger and smile: May Yun Nie and Sang Yue be together forever.
It's just writing, but the disciple can't help but tease: "What if there is someone with the same name?"
Yun Nie: “…”
Shocked, is this possible?
Yes, there are so many people in this world!
"Master, write it again. Write about Yun Nie and Sang Yue, the number one sect in the world... Um, what year is this? Master!"
"I won't write anymore. I'm going to put down the lamp."
His good master, who was not respectful to his elders, had already run to the embankment with the lotus lantern.
The lilac-colored sleeves fluttered in the wind, seeming to blend into the flying crabapple blossoms.
Sang Yue suddenly turned around, smiled and waved to Yun Nie. In the soft light of the clear and bright sea of flowers at night, she looked like a fairy in the moon.
Yun Nie was rarely anxious, and after he spoke such a long string of words, suddenly all his anxiety disappeared.
He paused and trotted to Sang Yue.
"Master."
"Hmm? Don't rewrite it?"
"No need." Yun Nie took his lotus lantern, lit it, squatted down, and placed it on the gurgling water.
It doesn’t matter if the water god cannot fulfill this wish; he can fulfill his wish himself.
When leaving Guifei Lake, Yun Nie suddenly remembered something.
He pulled Sang Yue, and suddenly raised his hand and inserted a branch of crabapple that he had quietly picked into the bun on the back of Sang Yue's head.
Master is dressed very simply today, and this flower matches her perfectly.
"By the way, Master." Yun Nie looked at Sang Yue wearing the Begonia and said, "I still think that the best-looking person today is Master."
Sang Yue was stunned for a moment. If this kind of behavior happened to someone else, it would be called flirting, but as for Yun Nie... based on his understanding of him, this kid was probably just simply expressing his true thoughts.
Of course he wouldn't blame him.
The heart of a child is pure and bright.
Isn't this why he likes this disciple so much?
So Sang Yue smiled and pulled Yun Nie over and said, "Come on, Master will take you to buy some delicious food."
"The east wind is blowing, the moon is shining, the fragrance is in the air, and the moon is turning in the corridor. I am afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I light a tall candle to illuminate their red makeup..."
I don’t know who is singing a poem under the flowers. The hazy and light voice floats through the crowd and into Yun Nie’s ears.
He held Sang Yue's hand tightly, thinking how good it was that his master was by his side.
It was the first time that Yunnie felt tired from shopping and sightseeing.
Although my body is tired, my spirit is still energetic.
It was almost dawn when they returned to Yuehua Mountain.
As soon as he came back, Sang Yue urged Yun Nie, who was still very energetic, to wash up and go to bed: "If you always stay up late, you won't grow taller."
Yun Nie looked at the height difference between himself and Sang Yue in the water mirror and felt a little frustrated.
When will he grow as tall as his master?
When he got into bed, Yun Nie was still counting his gains of the day.
The master bought him a lot of things, but he was reluctant to finish most of them and instead saved some for later use.
He also had some non-food gadgets laid out, ready to watch over them at all times.
Small sachets were hung on the wall, wind chimes were hung at the door, a pair of clay figurines were placed side by side on the museum shelf, and an ornament carved into the shape of a crabapple tree was placed at the bedside...
Sang Yue had also washed up, and with a misty body, he lay down on his side next to Yun Nie.
He reached out and covered Yunnie's eyes: "Okay, stop playing, it's time to go to bed."
Yun Nie closed his eyes obediently, but no matter how he tossed and turned, the bustling Luoshui City and his master, who was holding his hand and strolling in the city with a beautiful smile, always appeared in front of his eyes.
Behind the master there are fireworks, a cart with sugar figures on it, laughing strangers, and endless crabapple blossoms.
But only the master knows it most clearly.
Yun Nie really couldn't sleep. He was longing for the favor he had received from his master when he was in Luoshui City.
In fact, the master was always very nice to him on weekdays, but today he didn't act like a high and mighty immortal king and was more approachable and lively.
As he thought about it, Yun Nie leaned towards Sang Yue uncontrollably.
He didn't stop until his fingers touched Sang Yue's hair.
What if... continue?
What will happen to the master?
Yun Nie suddenly felt a little curious, so he continued to move closer, and as he moved closer, he leaned into Sang Yue's arms.
Until the moment of success, Yun Nie felt a little dizzy.
It’s that simple and easy… Yeah, actually, I’m already very close to Master on a daily basis.
"What's wrong?"
As expected, Sang Yue didn’t think there was anything wrong. He just felt that the kid was acting more like a child, which was a good thing.
"I can't sleep." Yun Nie didn't lie, but he didn't say more.
"Oh..." Sang Yue laughed at him, "You are still a little kid, you want your master to hug you to sleep?"
"Um!"
"Okay." Sang Yue said happily, "I will start teaching you to read tomorrow. If you complete the task for one day, Master will hold you and sleep with you for one day. How about that?"
Yun Nie: “…”
Sang Yue: "Well, it's decided!"
As a result, the master did not listen to the disciple's opinion at all and made the decision in a domineering manner on his own.
