Ending 4
These questions confused Qin Yan. He looked at Gu Qingqu. Obviously, he was the same person as Gu Qingqu in the human world, but when Qin Yan looked at him, he found it hard to think of him as the same person.
Gu Qingqu stopped undressing, fastened the buttons, and stood up. "I don't need to sleep. I'll go out and take a look. You go to sleep."
After Gu Qingqu finished speaking, he brushed his collar and walked out. Qin Yan looked at his tall and slender back and called out to him, "Wait a minute."
Gu Qingqu stopped and paused for a moment before turning to look at him, "Anything else?"
Qin Yan said: "We are all servants. It is not right for us to hang out outside at night. It will only cause trouble."
Qin Yan stopped talking here. He claimed that he was not a tactful person, but he felt that Gu Qingqu should understand, so there was no need for him to be too blunt. However, it was obvious that Gu Qingqu did not understand what he had not said. "Hmm?"
Qin Yan pouted his cheek awkwardly, "Everyone can sleep, and we are not the odd ones out, let's sleep."
Gu Qingqu did not refuse, "You are right, I am sorry to have wronged you."
After hearing his polite words, Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What grievance do I have?"
“No, that’s good.”
After Gu Qingqu finished speaking, he sat down on the edge of the bed and repeated the unbuttoning process. Qin Yan looked at him, then hugged the quilt and turned his back to him. Qin Yan had been very sleepy during this period and could basically fall asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, but now he was not sleepy at all.
There was nothing fancy in the guest rooms of Xiangguo Temple. Qin Yan's eyes fell on the table in front of the window. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the window lattice onto the table, with only a few thin rays of light.
The bed sank slightly, and Gu Qingqu lay down. This feeling was even more disconnected than when he was in the human world. It was hard to imagine that one day he would sleep in the same bed with the God of War, and he was even pregnant with his child. Whenever Qin Yan thought of this, his brain felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer, and it was in chaos.
Qin Yan really couldn't understand, since Gu Qingqu had memories of heaven, why was he so timid in the human world? Putting himself in their shoes, Qin Yan felt that he could actually understand it. A divine fetus born from the Milky Way had divine power that looked down upon the three realms, but when he went to the human world, not only did he lose his divine power, but all kinds of demons and monsters wanted to eat him, so it was normal for him to be afraid.
Thinking about the lies he told Gu Qingqu in the human world, Qin Yan felt so embarrassed that he almost died. What kind of master of illusion was he? Qin Yan pressed his forehead speechlessly, a lifetime of dark history.
"Qin Yan"
Just when Qin Yan was feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard Gu Qingqu calling him. Qin Yan subconsciously turned over and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
It was then that Qin Yan realized that Gu Qingqu had no quilt, so he could only cover himself with his own clothes, with his calves exposed. But Gu Qingqu didn't mention the quilt, but asked him, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"Ah?" Qin Yan had never expected him to ask this, and subconsciously retorted, "No."
Gu Qingqu said: "You kept moving around and sighing, I thought you were uncomfortable"
"Did I?" Qin Yan was shocked. Was he really like that just now? But he couldn't remember it at all. Well, now he had one more thing to regret.
"Haha, no, it's a little bit rough." Qin Yan hurriedly saved his image. In order to make his words seem true, he took out the Young Master Order from the quilt and explained awkwardly, "This thing fell off, and I kept touching it."
Gu Qingqu nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not. He just said, "Go to sleep."
"Okay." Qin Yan immediately closed his eyes.
Qin Yan didn't open his eyes until the breathing of the people around him became stable. He called out softly, "Gu Qingqu"
Gu Qingqu didn't answer and didn't open his eyes. It seemed that he was fast asleep. Qin Yan gently covered him with the quilt. Although they slept on opposite sides of the bed, the quilt was big enough to cover him.
After making sure that Gu Qingqu was not awake, Qin Yan fell asleep peacefully. It was not easy for him to hold on until now.
It was almost noon when Qin Yan woke up the next day. He opened his eyes in the middle of the bed. His first reaction was to look next to him, but it was empty. Gu Qingqu had already gotten up.
Qin Yan got up and went out and saw Gu Qingqu reading in the yard. When he heard his voice, Gu Qingqu raised his eyes and looked at him. Qin Yan nodded at him, and Gu Qingqu turned his head back, which was considered a greeting.
Qin Yan felt very hungry, so he said to Gu Qingqu: "I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat. I'll bring you whatever you want to eat."
Gu Qingqu said: "We are kneeling in the Buddhist temple now, it is not appropriate for you to go to the kitchen now."
That's right. If I meet someone outside, I'll think I've seen a ghost. Qin Yan said, "Then I'll be hungry for a while. I should be able to have lunch soon."
Gu Qingqu replied, "I've already had lunch."
Qin Yan was shocked, "Eating so early?"
Gu Qingqu closed the book and stood up. "Let's go to the back mountain to roast sweet potatoes." He showed Qin Yan the cover of the book he was reading, "New Style of Roasted Sweet Potatoes"
Qin Yan was confused as to why he still read this kind of book. "Isn't all the knowledge in the world in your head? Why do you still need to read books?"
Gu Qingqu explained: "To be more precise, it is all the knowledge before I was born. The knowledge after I was born is not included in this list, and this book was only published this year."
Qin Yan looked at the book on the table suspiciously, "Is the knowledge in it also published this year?"
"No," Gu Qingqu replied, "It's in my mind."
"So you're still watching?"
“I didn’t know until I finished watching it.”
Qin Yan had nothing to say, so he could only smile and say, "Go roast some sweet potatoes."
"Um"
The two walked out side by side. After two steps, Qin Yan realized a problem, "Where are the sweet potatoes?"
Gu Qingqu said: "Go first"
It seemed that he had a way, so Qin Yan didn't say anything more.
When they arrived at the back mountain, Gu Qingqu said, "I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes," but no sweet potatoes appeared after he said that. Qin Yan asked, "Is it useless here?"
Indeed, no sweet potatoes appeared. Gu Qingqu was puzzled. "I don't know. I have never encountered such a thing."
Qin Yan said: "Then let's eat something else. I see there are mushrooms here. I'll go find some mushrooms."
Gu Qingqu stopped him, "Most mushrooms are poisonous."
Qin Yan said: "You should be able to tell the difference."
Gu Qingqu said uncertainly: "It should be possible."
Seeing him say that, Qin Yan became curious, "There should have been a book on how to identify mushrooms before you were born, right?"
"Yes, there is," Gu Qingqu replied, "but written knowledge must be supplemented by experience to be foolproof."
That is to say, there is no guarantee that he can tell them apart, so Qin Yan immediately gave up the idea of eating mushrooms and said, "I'll go see if there are any fruits in the forest?"
“I’ll go with you.”
As the two were about to leave, they heard a sound behind them. They turned around and saw the sweet potatoes lined up and jumped towards them in an orderly manner, which looked quite cute.
Qin Yan said: "No need to look for wild fruits"
Gu Qingqu dug a hole, and Qin Yan went to find some firewood to start a fire. After the fire died out, it turned into charcoal. The sweet potatoes jumped into the charcoal one by one. After five of them jumped, Qin Yan hugged the sixth one and said, "That's enough. There's no room for more."
But Qin Yan said it was useless and Gu Qingqu had to say it first. So after Gu Qingqu said it, the sweet potatoes that were not selected turned around and jumped back.
Even though Qin Yan had seen it once before, he still found it incredible when he saw it again, "What an incredible ability!"
Gu Qingqu replied: "I think so too"
While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be roasted, Qin Yan leaned against a tree trunk, crossed his legs, held a weed in his mouth, and dozed off with his eyes closed. He felt as if someone was looking at him. He suddenly opened his eyes and met Gu Qingqu's gaze. Qin Yan spat out the weed in his mouth and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "No"
Qin Yan didn't quite believe it and wiped his face with his hand, but nothing came off.
Qin Yan picked two leaves and put them on his eyes. The leaves were very big. Although they were placed on his eyes, they actually covered his entire face. However, Gu Qingqu still did not look away. Qin Yan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he simply fell asleep.
"Wake up"
Qin Yan was woken up by Gu Qingqu. He opened his eyes and met Gu Qingqu's gaze. Qin Yan was not fully awake at first, but he woke up instantly when he saw Gu Qingqu. He sat up and asked, "Are you ready?"
The air is filled with the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. Gu Qingqu handed him the roasted sweet potato and said, "Okay."
Qin Yan was indeed hungry, so he took it and started eating. Gu Qingqu said beside him, "Sima Ling is going back."
Qin Yan was a little surprised, "Something happened?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "The sweet potato incident just now was seen, and everyone thought it was haunted."
Oh, that's not surprising. If he didn't know what was going on and saw it, he would have thought it was haunted.
Gu Qingqu continued, "There are no sweet potatoes on the mountain. These sweet potatoes come from farmers at the foot of the mountain. There were so many people along the way that even the road was closed."
Qin Yan didn't expect it to be such a big deal, "We won't be forced to withdraw, right?"
Gu Qingqu said: "Not yet."
"That's fine"
Qin Yan thought this place was pretty good and he didn't want to go out for the time being. He even felt reluctant to leave Xiangguo Temple.
Sima Ling's team returned to the city in the afternoon. When they left, there was one more person than when they came, Xuezhu.
Sima Ling attached great importance to Xue Zhu and personally selected two servants to serve him. He happened to choose Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu. Qin Yan felt that Gu Qingqu must have been involved, but it didn't matter. What was important was that they finally didn't have to live in the stinky room anymore.
Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu followed Xue Zhu into Jiangxuexuan. Only then did they know that Xue Zhu came to treat the old lady.
That evening, Sima Ling came to pick up Xuezhu to treat the old lady. He was very attentive and said, "Xuezhu, if you are tired from the bumpy road, you can go tomorrow. I have visited my mother and her condition is under control."
Xuezhu looks soft and sticky like a little dumpling. He also speaks softly, often with a smile on his face, and speaks very gently, "No, Brother Ling, I'm not tired at all."
Sima Ling seemed to be amused by him and scratched his nose with a smile, "Let's go, I'll prepare your favorite rice wine dumplings."
At this time, Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu didn't need to follow. The two stood in the corridor and watched the fun. Qin Yan held a broom and watched the backs of the two people leaving side by side. A strange feeling rose in his heart, "Are they going to be together?"
Gu Qingqu, who was standing next to him, held a rag and asked, "Are there any questions?"
Qin Yan said: "Sima Ling is already forty years old."
Gu Qingqu said: "The snow bamboo is at least two thousand years old."
That's fine, but it's strange, "He looks too old"
After saying that, Qin Yan threw away the broom and said, "No one is watching, no need to pretend to work, go to sleep."
As soon as Gu Qingqu loosened his grip, the rag fell to the ground, and he followed Qin Yan.
