Opening gifts

The final result was that Ning Shen put on his clothes, made sure that his clothes were tidy, pretended nothing had happened, and reached out to pick up the covered cat ball into his arms.

As long as Ningchen doesn't mention it, Xie Tingyun will forget it.

Yes, that's right.

Ning Chen convinced himself confidently and guiltily.

Strangely, however, the light gray kitten in his arms was also too quiet, lying on his chest without making a sound.

Ning Chen didn't think much about it. After he turned back into human form, the first thing he did was to go out openly with the cat in his arms.

It is a very pleasant thing to show off that you have a beloved and well-behaved cat.

Kissing the kitten again and again in front of the kitten's master, uncles, and fellow apprentices can increase the happiness several times.

Being chased by an enraged Dao Spirit holding a cane, playing a simple battle royale game in Liuyun Sect with a light grey kitten will be an unparalleled pleasure.

In the end, Dao Ling was forced to give up because of a broken waist. Ning Chen grabbed the cat's head and kissed it in front of him openly, which made Dao Ling angry and half dead.

The little cat curled up in Ning Chen's arms patted Ning Chen's chest helplessly. Ning Chen hummed and soothed him until he snored non-stop. He said, "Don't worry. A powerful being in the Silent Realm won't be pissed off to death."

Is it possible that he will be pissed off to death?

The kitten was so angry that it laughed, and bit Ning Chen's collarbone through the soft fabric. Ning Chen lifted it up and sucked it hard.

The incident of turning into a cat was a colorful episode for the two of them.

Although the murderer who poisoned them was still not found when the two men completely recovered their human form, the two victims had gained a novel and pleasant experience from it, so they did not insist on hunting down the real culprit behind the scenes.

The integration between the two races has begun to bear fruit. Items from each side's territory can already appear in the opposite race's territory in the form of commodities. This is a novel communication and experience for both sides.

As a trade ambassador sent by the Demon Realm, Mingri tried his best to promote the most outstanding love exchange gift package in the Demon Realm to the human race. Among the gifts, all were things that his brothers had personally tried and had proven to be effective. Buying them home would guarantee that the couple would be satisfied.

When Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun were visiting the two tribes' bazaar, Ning Chen forcibly stopped Xie Tingyun when they passed by the Mingri stall, and held him while he carefully selected items at the stall for a long time.

Perhaps it was because humans were still reserved in their customs and etiquette regarding love exchanges, so while other stalls were packed with customers, the stalls in front of Mingri and his brothers were deserted, which was a big blow to Mingri.

Then he turned around and saw their Lord and the Holy Son coming over with great interest, which cheered him up a lot.

To say that they were enthusiastic was not entirely true, after all, only His Majesty seemed to be very interested. The Saint Son's expression was surprisingly calm, so calm that the brothers who were trying to rush over to promote the product shuddered and did not dare to step forward.

Except for the time he came to see His Majesty during the Lantern Festival, the Holy Son did not seem to like overly ostentatious clothing. This time he did not wear his signature Chengfeng, but only changed into a light cloud dress made of mermaid silk, with wide sleeves falling quietly, and silver boots faintly visible under the layers of silver. He wore a dark red gem in his hair, and he was as calm as water, not ostentatious, but the dark red gem in his hair was particularly ostentatious.

Like someone's unintentional and prominent possessiveness.

Now, the Holy Son, dressed in a silver-white robe, has one hand hidden behind His Majesty's body, his face is extremely calm, and no one knows what he is doing.

Seeing that his master did not change his expression, Mingri was still thinking about instructing them: "It's okay to sell some pose appreciation pictures and story books with subtle covers, but you can't sell toys naked for the time being. Once people see so many people staring at them, they will run away if they want to buy them."

Mingri responded with deep respect to everyone who tried to teach him the way of selling: "Your Excellency, please speak."

"Let me show you how," Ning Chen waved his hand, signaling them to all step back three steps, then raised his hand and released a ban that covered the entire stall.

The restriction was opaque, enclosing the stall and a little space in front. Ning Chen happened to be demonstrating to them, and the restriction enclosed both him and Xie Tingyun.

The ban was soundproof, so people inside and outside couldn't see each other. When they were out of sight, Ning Chen pressed his waist and cried out, "It hurts... I just took a look, I didn't say I wanted to buy it!"

Xie Tingyun coughed lightly and let go of his hand as if nothing had happened.

Ning Chen rubbed his waist and walked over, staring at Xie Tingyun, and said dryly: "It hurts. No, don't you want to comfort me?"

Xie Tingyun had no choice but to kiss Ning Chen on the lips and softened his tone: "I was a bit aggressive, sorry. I thought you wanted to buy it and put it in together."

Xie Tingyun didn't say the rest, but both of them knew it.

Ning Chen blinked, pecked Xie Tingyun on the lips quickly, and nodded confidently: "Then we won't go together this time."

Xie Tingyun: “?”

Finally, Ning Chen picked the size, function and shape with a hissing sound under the gradually increasing force on his waist. The more Xie Tingyun watched, the harder his hands twisted. In the end, he saw Ning Chen stopped in the strange shapes area, and it seemed that he wanted a piece of everything.

Ning Chen looked at the dazzling array of different things on the stall and sighed, "The demons still know how to have fun."

Xie Tingyun looked at the shape and protrusion that he had never seen before, and was silent for a while before saying, "...He will die."

"No, I won't let you get hurt, trust me... Ouch, it hurts!!!"

Finally, Mingri watched their Lord walk out of the restriction, holding his waist. Behind him, the Son of God, with red ears but a calm face, also packed and took away a whole new gift bag of various sizes.

When Ning Chen was leaving, he wanted to pay with magic coins, but was pushed out by Mingri and the other brothers who were watching the stall, and they even forced him to give him a set of newly released posture illustrations.

Their Master came to the Demon Realm to buy things from a stall, so there is no reason for him to pay with demon coins.

This collection of postures is from the same author and the same series as the one Ning Chen read last time, and the content inside happens to be about how to better utilize external objects.

When I feel sleepy, the whole world is filled with pillows.

Quiet sigh.

Xie Tingyun calmly raised his eyes and glanced at Mingri and the other brothers.

They looked at each other and said nothing.

Mingri shrank his neck. He didn't know why he always felt a chill running down his spine. He could only laugh dryly and said tentatively: "Saint, Saint Son? You don't like it..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard their Lord suddenly cry out in pain.

Xie Tingyun let go of his gripped hand with a normal expression, and took Ning Chen's hand instead. He smiled slightly and said, "No, it's okay."

He has taken everything and is so proud of himself.

How can I leave?

Ning Chen gave Mingri and the others a look, signaling them not to worry, and then was pulled away by Xie Tingyun in high spirits.

Ning Chen changed into a new set of outerwear today. He still wore a white shirt as the base, but his inner garment was changed into a soft red silk satin. The black garment was embroidered with gold thread, which echoed his dark red eyes. When he raised his eyes, they were casual and sharp, showing his dignity and arrogance.

There is only a silver flying bird tassel ornament buckled on the chest, which is the brightest touch among all the gloomy and noble colors.

The two of them were like the most common couple in the world. When they strolled around the city together, they kept some small marks of themselves on each other.

Ordinary and beautiful.

The two of them went to other stalls and bought a lot of strange little gadgets. They had a bowl of wonton noodles before dark, and came back to take a look at the stall for the day of the dead. They found that since the small dark room was used, the number of onlookers and the number of sales had increased significantly.

Ning Chen then left with satisfaction.

After returning to Yunfeng Pavilion, the two of them washed and bathed. After Xie Tingyun finished bathing, he came out, still fully dressed.

Ning Chen was drying her long hair at that time. When she accidentally saw Xie Tingyun, who was dressed neatly and even more gorgeously, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "You are going out?"

Xie Tingyun did not answer. He just walked to Ning Chen's side and used his spiritual consciousness to probe into his storage ring.

However, after Xie Tingyun searched for a while and still couldn't find what he was looking for, he couldn't help but pause for a moment and whispered, "Where is the thing?"

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "What is it?"

Xie Tingyun looked at him without saying anything for a long time. Then, Ning Chen saw that the tip of Xie Tingyun's ear seemed to have been burned and turned slightly red.

Xie Tingyun remained calm. If you ignore what he said, "You bought... today."

"Ah," Ning Chen was stunned for a long time, and said dully: "...I saw that you didn't like it, so when I went back to the stall to check the sales situation, I went back."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Ning Chen was stunned for a while, then he said cautiously: "You... like it?"

Xie Tingyun glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't like it."

"..." Ning Chen hurriedly grabbed the man: "Don't go, don't go! If you want, I can..."

But Xie Tingyun suddenly turned around, and the redness on the tip of his ear could not be hidden at all. He grabbed Ning Chen's collar, raised his hand and gently stroked Ning Chen's Adam's apple with his fingertips, and said, "I don't want it."

Ning Shen's throat rolled unconsciously, and he looked at Xie Tingyun eagerly and said, "Should I go buy it now?"

Xie Tingyun was annoyed by the noise and directly reached out and covered his mouth.

Xie Tingyun leaned down and gently touched Ning Chen's brow. Through the brief link between their sea of ​​consciousness, Xie Tingyun borrowed Ning Chen's system mall to buy what he wanted, and then took the things out with Ning Chen's storage ring.

The whole process was smooth and seamless, so smooth that I was so serene that I didn't even have time to react.

Ning Chen was shocked: "Why can you use my system mall... No, what are you going to do!"

Xie Tingyun brushed away Ning Chen's hand, chuckled, and said, "Now your system is mine, and your system mall is also mine, why can't I use it?"

Ning Chen: “???”

Xie Tingyun, when did it change?

As if knowing that Ning Chen would have many questions, Xie Tingyun said: "I will release you after completing the mission, Xiao Shisi, but the mall will still be there, and your main system will naturally become me."

Ning Shen let out an "oh".

"So what are you going to do?" He still didn't quite understand what Xie Tingyun was going to do with these things.

When they were in front of the stall, Xie Tingyun looked very resistant, and he just wanted to tease Xie Tingyun, and then he returned the things quietly.

"I promised you last time," Xie Tingyun left Ning Chen's sight without saying a word, and said, "Don't follow me."

Xie Tingyun walked a few steps, then thought of something, turned around and frowned, "Where are the two illustrated books they gave me?"

"In the storage ring, this one is here." Ning Chen said quickly.

Xie Tingyun reached into Ning Chen's storage ring, took out the new version of the map, and then patted Ning Chen on the chest and said, "I'll give you one stick of incense... You have fifteen minutes to learn it."

Ning Chen hurriedly caught the atlas and looked at Xie Tingyun's back, a little dumbfounded.

Last time... when Xie Tingyun turned into a cat, he leaned close to his ear and, relying on the fact that no one else present could understand cat language except the two cats, he promised Ning Chen a condition.

You can tie him up like you did last time and let him do whatever he wants.

Ning Shen groaned, touched his hot nose, and quickly raised his head.

The last time they played this trick... was when Ning Chen got tied up and retaliated.

But now it seems a little different.

When Xie Tingyun came out of the room, Ning Chen couldn't help but blink.

Xie Tingyun obviously knew what he liked.

Xie Tingyun was now wearing the same outfit he wore for the Lantern Festival, with layers of silvery white clothes, a thin shirt as cool and smooth as moonlight folded between his sleeves, and it also looked like clean light clouds were surrounding his body.

He stood barefoot in front of Ning Shen, his long hair not tied up with a silver crown but casually draped behind him.

The strange thing was that Xie Tingyun was clearly not wearing any jewelry with tasseled silver chains, but as he walked slowly towards her, Ning Chen could still hear the ringing sounds of some thin chains colliding gently.

Xie Tingyun's breathing was a little unstable. Ning Chen noticed that a layer of red had begun to spread around his neck.

Ning Chen was pushed onto the bed in a daze. He felt Xie Tingyun approaching him in a daze. The illustrated book in his arms was taken out and thrown aside. He heard Xie Tingyun sigh softly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "This is a condition, and also a gift. I just happened to catch it, so I'll give it to you together. Don't you want to open it?"

Gift, what gift?

What and who are being dismantled?

Ning Chen held his nose and raised his head suddenly, meeting Xie Tingyun's downcast eyes. The chaotic pounding of his heart was so loud that it roared in his ears.

Ning Chen had never seen Xie Tingyun like this before.

Really not...so I was unexpectedly overwhelmed.

He thought of the things Xie Tingyun had just bought from his mall, and now Ning Chen could roughly guess where they were used.

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment. He remembered the size Xie Tingyun had taken. His first reaction was to be a little nervous: "You, you don't like too big ones, right? Otherwise, just take it out. If it gets too big later..."

"I never said I didn't like it," Xie Tingyun suddenly interrupted, "It's actually not bad, without your support."

Ning Chen: “…………”

Ning Chen was so burned by these words that he almost spit out breath on the spot, and all he wanted to do was find a place to bury himself.

Normally, Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun would play some fun games on the bed. Ning Chen looked like an old hand, but he was actually more nervous than Xie Tingyun. He was afraid that Xie Tingyun would get hurt, so he didn't dare to play too much.

Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen like this and felt inexplicably amused.

There is nothing they haven't done before, yet Ning Chen still looks so innocent.

...even cuter.

Although Xie Tingyun's big wolf tail was not very good at pretending, he would tremble slightly when he slightly changed his posture in Ning Chen's arms, but fortunately Ning Chen was almost familiar with him, so naturally he didn't notice his abnormality.

Xie Tingyun smiled. He suppressed the strange tone of his voice, leaned down and gently touched Ning Chen's cheek, and said softly: "Ning Chen, don't you ask what this gift is for you?"

Ning Chen's attention was indeed diverted: "...Me? A gift for me?"

Speaking of this, Ning Chen remembered Xie Tingyun's birthday a few days ago, which ended without any illness, so he frowned and said, "By the way, I haven't celebrated your birthday yet."

It was all because of the sudden transformation into cats. Ning Chen originally wanted to give Xie Tingyun a good birthday, but in the end, they both turned into two balls of cats and couldn't do anything.

As it was Xie Tingyun's birthday, Ning Chen resisted the urge to bite the cat. However, Xie Tingyun came up and played with his tail like a cat with nothing to do. They played and quarreled for most of the day, so they just licked each other's fur and went to sleep that day.

"That's just the day I was born in my previous life. This is not my birthday." Xie Tingyun sighed and said, "Are you celebrating your own birthday?"

Ning Chen blinked blankly, then suddenly realized: "Today... is the third day of the eleventh month of the calendar?"

Xie Tingyun nodded.

The way this world records dates seems to be similar to what Ning Chen remembered, except that Ning Chen hasn't paid much attention to the calendar since he came here, and Ning Chen didn't care whether he celebrated his birthday or not.

In the past, he was alone. When he was a child, life was hard, so he had no time to celebrate his birthday. After he grew up, he had the ability to protect himself and no worries about food and clothing, so naturally he didn't care about anything.

No one had any expectations for Ning Shen's birth. It was already difficult enough for him to struggle to survive and live well in this world.

His birthday had no special meaning to Ning Chen, so it was naturally not worth him remembering too much.

"Happy birthday, Ning Chen." Xie Tingyun placed his hand on the side of Ning Chen's face and gently stroked it. He tilted his head and kissed the corner of Ning Chen's lips, and said softly, "There is one more thing I think I need to let you know."

Ning Chen took a deep breath, his throat moved, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "You say."

"Later I found out that the day you brought me home was actually the day after your birthday," Xie Tingyun said, "but that's not important. What I want to say is that I took that day as my birthday without permission."

"I didn't agree with you, so it might offend you, but... but I don't want to change it, can you please not make me change it?"

Xie Tingyun spoke in a gentle voice, with a very obvious sense of relief. He leaned over again, put his hand on Ning Chen's face, and whispered, "Ning Chen, I'm very happy... very, very happy."

Because of you.

Just because of you.

Countless times, Xie Tingyun made merry by treating the suffering he had endured in the first half of his life as the beginning of his present life, as the chip he had to pay to meet Ningchen. Before that, there was only darkness without a ray of light, and there was nothing worthy of praise, so even if he casually threw it away, there would be no problem.

As long as this person is safe and sound, he will be very satisfied.

As for what happened later, Xie Tingyun actually never imagined that things would develop like this.

Just allowing Ning Chen to have a peaceful and smooth life again would make Xie Tingyun very satisfied.

He didn't dare to be greedy for others, and he didn't even think about being greedy at the beginning.

After all, Xie Tingyun had barely reached adulthood when he was about to die in his previous life. He had never known how to love since he was a child, and no one had ever taught him.

In his previous life, Xie Tingyun had only been with this person for about twenty days, but these twenty days were the only valuable days in Xie Tingyun's first half of his life.

Xie Tingyun didn't think he knew Ning Chen very well. He didn't understand the environment in which this person grew up, nor did he understand what this person had been through. He only knew that this person hated trouble and tiredness, but still picked himself up.

When they first met, this person gave him protection and warmth as an elder, just like what would happen in every ordinary and warm parental story.

Xie Tingyun was not very comfortable speaking at that time, and most of his interactions with Ning Chen were expressed through body language. Ning Chen never revealed anything about himself to him. The twenty days they spent together were like a poor stranger seeking warmth from another stranger who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

During the time when Tian Xiao suddenly changed his personality, Xie Tingyun suspected that someone had pierced the Demon Lord's shell, but he never thought that it would be Ning Chen.

Although the two people were surprisingly similar, Xie Tingyun at that time thought that the timeline was not right. He had a preconceived idea that Ning Chen would not travel through time at this time, so he only felt that Tian Xiao's personality was unexpectedly familiar to him, but he did not think too much about it.

After all, Ning Chen died before him. If he could be absorbed by the Space-Time Administration, he should be before him.

It stands to reason that after Xie Tingyun has reincarnated through countless worlds, they would not meet in this world.

But this incident really happened. If we want to review it, the reason can only be that Ning Chen was delayed for a long time in the human world due to certain things, and then he was sent in by the Administration.

As for what happened... that was a lifetime ago. It's all in the past now and no longer important.

The important person is still in front of him, and he still has his birthday present unopened.

Seeing that Ning Chen hadn't said anything for a long time, Xie Tingyun bit Ning Chen's lips lightly.

Ning Chen pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

Ning Chen only felt that his heart was pierced hard by that willful and childish voice. It didn't hurt, but it was indescribably sore, as if everything in the world was lost because of this.

He was so speechless that he didn't know what to say or how to express his emotions. He always felt that nothing he said was appropriate.

In his confusion, he thought about giving up, and finally tried to say it bit by bit: "...No offense. Now I agree."

"No. I won't let you change it."

"Happy birthday... er, should I wait until midnight to say it? Never mind."

Xie Tingyun smiled.

His lover seemed wild and unruly most of the time, but there were always times when she could be clumsy and adorable.

Ning Shen's throat rolled over, but he finally reached out and grabbed Xie Tingyun's waist, holding him in his arms.

It was not until his lower jaw pressed against Xie Tingyun's shoulder that Ning Chen finally felt his brain regain a bit of clarity.

He was silent for a while, then whispered, "Those worlds... are you tired?"

Xie Tingyun moved in his deep thoughts and said slowly, "Not tired. There is no need to be tired when there is a reward for every effort. Also, are you checking the post?"

Ning Chen: “…”

Is this how the word is used?

Ning Chen cleared his throat and said, "I don't have any."

Xie Tingyun changed his position in his arms, raised his hands and held Ning Chen's face, his eyes focused as he said, "Ning Chen, I'm not that child who knows nothing and relies on others anymore."

He grew up in many reincarnations of the world and under Xie Wan's warmth. He is no longer the person who looked introverted and insignificant, who did not know how to resist and was unable to resist.

Xie Tingyun admitted that when he was still young, he always deified Ning Chen as his savior. After experiencing countless reincarnations in different worlds, he gave this person some inexplicable obsessions.

I hope he is well, I hope he is safe, I hope he is carefree and happy.

Although it is cliché, it is indeed one of the few supports he has.

Xie Tingyun really couldn't explain why he was so moved, and how he dared to be moved by this person.

Maybe it's all Ning Chen's fault. People like him look hard to get close to, but they are surprisingly easy to please. They are cold-faced and hard-mouthed, but they are soft-hearted. They are vindictive but childish. On the surface, they appear to be casual and sharp, but in fact, they are essentially childish people who love to go against others.

Ning Chen is like a free and easy person living in seclusion from the world. He looks indifferent and cold, as if nothing has anything to do with him, but he is actually involved in everything.

Only when you get close to him will you know how easy it is to catch him.

It was strange and contradictory, but Xie Tingyun couldn't think of any reason why he wouldn't be attracted to this person.

It’s all Ning Chen’s fault.

When Xie Tingyun thought of this, he couldn't help but complain a little: "Ning Chen, don't always treat me like a child. I'm not that child anymore. I don't want you to treat me like a child."

I want you to love me.

Ning Chen understood what he had not yet finished saying.

"good."

Ning Chen raised his hand and slowly touched Xie Tingyun's back, then pressed him heavily into his arms.

He actually never thought that this day would come.

Xie Tingyun's love is implicit and straightforward. Neither of them can say love words, but Xie Tingyun is always good at expressing his thoughts. There is no deliberate sensationalism, no deliberate words, but every word between the lines that expresses his thoughts seems to be a confession of love.

Ning Chen was used to going with the flow. This seemed to be the first time that he felt a sense of belonging to someone, almost like taking root.

It seemed that as long as this person was there, he could stay here for a long, long time, just to grow old with him.

There was once a person who picked up a child with disdain the day after his birthday. The cause sown since then has drifted through countless changes in the world, and finally grew into the fruit of knowing each other, loving each other, and accompanying each other for a lifetime in another world.

Xie Tingyun was no longer the grass that had withered and turned yellow due to lack of sunlight and love. He had forged his own backbone, and under the new warmth and love, he had grown into a calm and elegant gentleman. He stood in front of Ning Chen again with a new and familiar image. By the time Ning Chen discovered him, this person had already penetrated into every aspect of his life.

Ning Chen sometimes wondered if Xie Tingyun had some ulterior motives, and had spoiled him with his implicit yet direct love, and had made him accustomed to it, so that he would be unable to leave him in the future.

Never mind. I can’t leave anyway.

Ning Shen tightened his arms, cherishing and feeling the warmth of the person in his arms.

That's it. His life went in an unexpected direction because of this person's appearance, and the end of this direction is the rest of his life with countless flowers and birds, a second half of his life that is still exciting even though he can see his own ending clearly.

Xie Tingyun gently turned Ning Chen's jaw. He looked at Ning Chen's handsome and calm eyes, leaned over and kissed his cheek, then whispered, "The gifts have been given, don't you want to open them?"

Ning Chen started to boil again.

It doesn’t matter. Xie Tingyun will naturally teach him how to open the gifts.

The intricate and gorgeous silver-white clothing was peeled off layer by layer, and the lining was replaced with a soft, translucent thin shirt, which covered everything and yet covered nothing.

When Ning Chen takes off the thin shirt, he will find that the smooth gold chain warmed by body temperature is like a golden net, draped over the gift tightly, extending along the texture, highlighting what should be highlighted, and leaving faint golden traces on the thin shirt that can't cover anything.

From here on out, let Ning Chen personally dismantle the things he used before and after, or... let him do whatever he wants.

It is like a net that binds flying birds, or like a golden coronation robe.

Willingly bind oneself to the web of dust, and thus gain the wings to fly.

Just drown yourself in endless love, and for the rest of your life, every time you look into each other's eyes, you will see each other's face in your pupils.

That's enough.

The cat-changing extra story is finished! The next one should be the if line of Ning Chen's death in the previous life. I plan to write another if line of ABO's childhood sweetheart. I will finish it as soon as possible. Thank you for your company.
