Time Pause
"I haven't seen Pei Yunxiu for more than 20 years. He was no different before. He was just a typical good boy. Apart from his good-looking face, he had no other special features and was very quiet." Qi Fengling said softly.
When Qi Fengling mentioned Pei Yunxiu, Su Liu was standing in the Nancheng snack street, waiting to eat Zhuyufenci.
This thing is a special snack that appeared many times in the original book "Marriage of Concealment". When the heroine Lian Gufeng died, the last picture that emerged in her mind was her waiting in line to buy Zhuyufenci, and the little Cuicui was lying on the treetop, wagging her long tail, urging in animal language from a distance: I'm so hungry, hurry up.
At that time, Lian Gufeng's pupils had already blurred. She stretched her hand into the air, as if to say: I bought it, eat it while it's hot, Cuicui...
The team moved forward in an orderly manner. There were not many people at the moment, and soon it was Qi Fengling's turn.
The glutinous rice cakes just out of the pot are soft and sticky, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are filled with black rice and red bean paste, sweet, and have a floral fragrance.
The rice cakes here are indeed more delicious than those in other cities.
It's the size of a palm, perfect for trying something new.
"You waited in line for so long and only got one piece, so you lost out," several Omegas passing by said to Qi Fengling with a smile.
Qi Fengling smiled faintly, put his arm around Su Liu's waist and replied, "My wife doesn't eat much."
"Your wife does look very thin. If she doesn't eat more, she might have trouble giving birth," the Omegas said while looking at Su Liu with a smile.
Su Liu blushed and buried his head in Qi Fengling's arms. He only looked thin, but actually...
Qi Fengling pinched Su Liu's waist and said meaningfully, "Well, he doesn't want to have a proper meal."
"You don't even eat dinner, no wonder," several Omegas joked a few times and left politely. They just saw that Qi Fengling was good-looking, so they couldn't help but come forward and chat with him casually, without any other intentions.
Nancheng is very different from other cities. The Omegas here are not as reserved as those in other cities. They are more willing to express their inner emotions.
Maybe that's why.
There are more AA relationships here than anywhere else.
It also performed very conspicuously.
At this time, an Alpha bought some rice cakes and came over to chat with Qi Fengling. "Your wife looks really elegant. You should be careful. In Nancheng, we not only have AA relationships, but also OOO relationships."
Qi Fengling just smiled and said nothing.
After the man left, Qi Fengling lowered his head and asked, "Have you finished eating, Master Su Liu? If you stay here any longer, you won't be able to hide the fact that you're an OO lover."
Su Liu swallowed the last few bites and said angrily, "Why am I in a relationship?"
"You have a face that an Omega would like," Qi Fengling said, holding Su Liu's waist and leading him forward. "Which Omega in the city doesn't like you? Don't you feel that at all?"
"Are you sick? I even suspected you were in an AA relationship. You're so good at diverting conflict," Su Liu punched Qi Fengling. "That Alpha just now clearly likes you, and he even maliciously slandered me. If I were in an OO relationship, why would I get together with you? Do I have that much free time?"
"If I really am in a lesbian relationship, I will vomit immediately if you kiss me," Su Liu's eagerness to explain made it seem like he was trying to cover up something.
Qi Fengling brought Su Liu to a small corner. While the pedestrians on the road were not paying attention to them, he quickly kissed Su Liu on the lips. After the kiss, he smiled and said, "That's great, you are not."
"Don't kiss me like that. It's like we have some improper relationship. If you continue like that, I'll call you brother-in-law," Su Liu pursed her lips and said unhappily.
"...Scream now, where did you get your sister?" Qi Fengling kissed Su Liu a few more times. He knew that Su Liu was unhappy not because she was mistaken for being in an OoB relationship, but because she was unhappy about being regarded as an OoB relationship emotional fraudster who provoked an Alpha.
"I really didn't lie to you," Su Liu reflected for a moment. Perhaps he didn't want to have too close contact with Qi Fengling. It was a bit like a sign of OO love, but...
"I know," Qi Fengling raised the corner of his lips in a smile that was completely inconsistent with his innocent face. "You told me that your upbringing was too serious, which made you overly cautious about relationships between the sexes."
"You know you're still like this? Are you kidding me?" Su Liu tiptoed and bit him. "Why are you so mean?"
"Su Liu, you look like a bitch when you're anxious," Qi Fengling said with a smile, pinching Su Liu's waist.
"...Don't stay here, it seems like someone is watching us," Su Liu blushed, "It's broad daylight, it's not appropriate."
Qi Fengling turned around and saw that people walking on the street were indeed stealing glances at them, and some were even pointing and talking, probably saying: These two are being sneaky and don't look like a serious couple.
"...We are indeed not a serious couple. After all, I am not even your boyfriend," Qi Fengling put his arm around Su Liu's shoulders and walked into another alley.
"Stop talking," Su Liu's face flushed. He found that since he started dating Qi Fengling, he really cared about what others thought. This was absolutely impossible before.
He used to do his own thing and look down on everything, but now, he seems to have a soft spot.
——He likes Qi Fengling and also hopes to gain recognition from others.
Perhaps, love is a social product.
If there were no spectators, the charm of love would seem far less than people imagine.
Those who like to show off their affection may get more satisfaction from the envious eyes of others than from their lovers.
Su Liu immediately found the crux of the problem.
——It turns out that this is the reason why couples generally like to hug and kiss in public.
"Let's be serious," Su Liu remembered that he used to feel disgusted when he saw those things, but he didn't expect that he would join this big family now.
As he said this, he pushed away Qi Fengling's hand that was around his shoulder.
"...If you do this, it will seem more like we are having an affair," Qi Fengling put his hand on Su Liu's shoulder again.
"That's all. Don't make any other moves," Su Liu warned.
"Yes, sir," Qi Fengling held Su Liu in his arms and walked towards Pei Yunxiu's mansion.
at night.
There is a mask market in Nancheng.
There are all kinds of masks on the stalls.
Su Liu picked out a white fox mask for Qi Fengling. The mask showed her fair cheeks and red moles on the corners of her eyes. "You look innocent, but inside you are very much like this charming fox."
Su Liu put it on Qi Fengling personally.
"This face looks more like you," Su Liu laughed.
Qi Fengling put a flower fairy mask on Su Liu. There was a lotus painted between the eyebrows of the mask, which added a layer of beauty that was not of this world to Su Liu.
They mingled in the crowd, not as dazzling as before, yet still seemed as dazzling.
Someone was releasing lotus lanterns by the river, and the style was very similar to the one painted on Su Liu's mask.
"If you have a camera, you can take photos as a souvenir," Su Liu rarely takes photos, after all, his identity is not simple, but if he takes a photo with Qi Fengling, it seems nice too.
"Su Liu, here," Qi Fengling shouted to Su Liu who was squatting by the river.
Su Liu looked back.
Qi Fengling's eyes blinked quickly, like the shutter of a camera.
"I've got that," Qi Fengling held Su Liu's hand, and they looked at their reflection in the river together.
The river lanterns cast their reflections dimly, creating a hazy beauty.
"Three, two, one..." Qi Fengling quickly kissed Su Liu's lips.
The second heart photo was born.
With the second one, there will be the third, the fourth...
After taking the photo, Su Liu smiled and joked, "You can go back tonight and edit the photo."
"I'm using a beauty camera," Qi Fengling's smiling eyes made the fox mask look particularly charming.
"Brother Feng Ling, you are very much like the kind of character that exists in novels... During the day, you are a cold and upright hero, but at night, you reveal your true face as a demon king," Su Liu said as he punched Qi Feng Ling, as if he was amused by the metaphor.
"...Is there?" Qi Fengling picked up Su Liu. They were going to stay in a cave near Xiucheng at night.
Su Liu was still not sleepy when he lay down. He said to Qi Fengling, "Tell me a story with the same character as I just told you."
Qi Fengling took off the two masks. He stared at Su Liu's face for a while and said, "Okay."
He then pondered for a moment and narrated the story: "Once upon a time there was a hero..."
Once upon a time there was a hero who looked cool and upright, but was actually a heretic at heart.
He fell in love with the Lord of Demonic Path very early on.
So, he disguised himself and infiltrated the demonic world. He soon gained a foothold with his excellent martial arts skills and became a great protector beside the Demon Lord.
Ever since he joined the game, he unexpectedly discovered that the evil sect was not a group of evildoers. They and the righteous sect actually had a cooperative relationship. The two factions, one in the light and one in the dark, maintained a delicate balance.
"The Demon Lord is a man who says one thing and thinks another. He obviously likes the hero very much, but he pretends not to care," Qi Fengling said to Su Liu.
"...How could I?" Su Liu was moved by this story and retorted stubbornly.
"It's the Demon Lord, not you," Qi Fengling kissed Su Liu with a smile, and continued.
One day, the Demon Lord was ambushed by a villain and was slightly injured. The injury was very minor, but the Demon Lord, who had never been injured before, cried in pain.
He fell into the arms of the great protector who was applying medicine to him and said a lot of things, saying that he liked the hero very much, but how could a cold and upright person like the hero be willing to be with the Demon Lord.
The great protector's charming and beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she said to the demon lord: My lord likes him, just tie him up and bring him here.
The Demon Lord wiped his tears and said: It is indeed easy to tie him up, but it is not easy to tie his heart up.
The Great Protector was devoted to his master, and he gave the Demon Lord many unreliable and bad ideas, which were all rejected by the Demon Lord one by one.
At night, after the Demon Lord fell asleep.
The Great Protector washed off the disguise on his face, changed into the hero's clothes, and quietly sneaked into the Demon Lord's bedroom.
He placed his sword on the Demon Lord's neck and questioned the newly awakened Demon Lord in a dignified manner: "Where is the Demon Lord? And who are you?"
The Demon Lord stared at the hero for a long time before he stammered and lied: I was also kidnapped, and I don’t know where the Demon Lord is.
The hero looked at the Demon Lord's conflicted expression and almost laughed out loud. He said seriously: I will rescue you.
As he said this, he picked up the Demon Lord, who was wearing thin pajamas, and left.
No. The Demon Lord covered his scattered clothes and said in panic: I can't leave.
The hero's face was full of disapproval: "You're not leaving? You're so weak, you'll definitely be bullied."
The Demon Lord was very shocked. It was the first time he heard the word "weak".
It just wouldn't work. The Demon Lord pushed the hero away and advised him not to worry about it and leave first.
The hero had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Not long after the hero left, the Great Protector seemed to have heard something and came to find the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord wrapped his body tightly in a quilt, lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Great Protector asked: Demon Lord, who came just now?
The Demon Lord blushed and said shyly: It's that person.
The Great Protector suppressed his laughter and said: Since he dares to come, let him go without returning. Then he fed the Demon Lord a cup of wine with something added.
By the time the Demon Lord realized the taste was wrong after taking a few sips, it was already too late.
Are you crazy? The Demon Lord was very surprised.
A serious man like him needs drastic measures. As long as you have physical contact with him, he will be responsible. The Great Protector said this convincingly.
"No, give me the antidote quickly! Are you crazy? If he's willing, he's taking advantage of me. If he's not willing, where will I put my face?" The Demon Lord was furious.
The Great Protector said again: This is a good opportunity to test him. If he didn't like you, why didn't he kill you just now, but instead came up to hug you? It's obvious that he has some improper thoughts about you.
Having said that, the Great Protector walked away with a smile.
The drugged demon lord quickly fell into a daze.
About half a cup of tea passed.
The hero is here again.
While saying, "I have to take you away," he fished the red-faced Demon Lord out of the quilt.
"Okay... stop talking," Su Liu turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Qi Fengling.
Qi Fengling kissed Su Liu's cheek, then moved his kisses to her lips...
Su Liu didn't know when she fell asleep.
In the second half of the night, he was awakened by the "revelation of disaster".
