At night, Zhao Chen'an had a dream. He dreamt that he had sealed the chaos and finally got seriously injured. Then he was saved by a young man, but he couldn't see clearly who that young man was.
After that, he dreamt that he had lived in seclusion on a mountain and adopted a child. The scariest thing was that the child had a face exactly the same as Qin Beixuan's!
It was just that in the dream, Qin Beixuan looked a bit younger, but that was enough to scare Zhao Chen'an. Although he had lusted after Qin Beixuan, the thought of raising him as a child was really beyond his imagination!
This dream was so long that Zhao Chen'an even felt it was reality. In the morning, he was woken up by the system.
Zhao Chen'an rubbed his sleepy eyes. It took him a long time to remember that he had an appointment with Qin Beixuan today!
"I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late!"
Zhao Chen'an hurriedly put on the clothes he had placed beside the bed last night. He casually grabbed a hair - tie to tie up his hair. After going out, he noticed that the disciples always stole glances at him.
Was it because he was wearing red clothes today?
Zhao Chen'an was a bit looking forward to Qin Beixuan's reaction when he saw him.
The place he had told Qin Beixuan last night was the lotus pond on Ziwai Mountain. It was the closest to the way down the mountain and also the most beautiful place. There were many lotuses planted in it, which never withered and always bloomed. The pink stamens slowly bloomed in the early - morning sun, looking like shy maidens or fairies in the clouds, about to bloom and extremely beautiful.
"Senior brother!" Zhao Chen'an waved at Qin Beixuan from afar.
Hearing Zhao Chen'an's voice, Qin Beixuan turned around. He saw Zhao Chen'an in red clothes running towards him happily. Immediately, his head buzzed, and he remembered the vague figure in his memory.
Now the figure seemed to overlap with the Zhao Chen'an in front of him, and his memory began to become clear. He saw that the person looked exactly the same as Zhao Chen'an, leaning against a plane tree and playing with a feather in his hand.
Qin Beixuan just stood there stiffly as Zhao Chen'an got closer and closer. It was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"What's wrong, senior brother?" Zhao Chen'an looked at his senior brother who was staring straight at him. "Do you also think I'm good - looking?"
Qin Beixuan keenly caught the word "also" and asked, "Who else has praised you?"
Zhao Chen'an answered truthfully, "All the disciples who saw me on my way out said so."
At first, Qin Beixuan didn't believe it. It wasn't until he noticed that more and more people were casting their gazes in their direction that he realized how popular his junior brother was.
Seeing these disciples looking at Zhao Chen'an with looks as if they had seen some precious treasure, Qin Beixuan felt extremely uncomfortable!
He immediately took off his outer robe and covered Zhao Chen'an's head with it, hiding the person completely, leaving only a pair of bright, watery eyes. Then he nodded in satisfaction.
Zhao Chen'an blinked his bright, watery eyes and looked at Qin Beixuan in confusion: "???"
What was his senior brother doing?
Looking at Zhao Chen'an's eyes, Qin Beixuan also deeply felt that his eyes were so charming. He really wanted to hide him away.
Seeing that Qin Beixuan was always staring at him like this, Zhao Chen'an asked a bit at a loss, "Am I not good - looking like this? You've covered me so tightly. I'm so hot, senior brother~"
"Not bad. The sun is strong today. I'm afraid you'll get sunburnt," Qin Beixuan's heart skipped a beat. Except for a slight blush on the tips of his ears, there were no other obvious signs on his face.
"??" Zhao Chen'an looked up at the sky. The sun had just risen, adding a touch of warmth to the cold morning. But Qin Beixuan told him it was hot!
Afraid that his little secret would be discovered, Qin Beixuan quickly changed the topic, "Didn't you say you were going down the mountain? If we delay any longer, we won't have time to do other things."
Zhao Chen'an's train of thought was distracted by Qin Beixuan again. He even forgot to return the outer robe. He grabbed Qin Beixuan's hand and ran down the mountain cheerfully.
"If it weren't for you reminding me, senior brother, I would have really delayed for a long time. Hurry up, hurry up. I haven't had a good time in a long time!"
Zhao Chen'an ran merrily in front, and Qin Beixuan followed unhurriedly behind. Their hands were held together.
At the foot of Ziwai Mountain, the children were all chubby and wearing clean clothes. They chased each other in the alleys. Even the adults were not in a hurry to do farm work. They sat in front of their houses chatting with their neighbors. It was a harmonious and prosperous scene.
It was all thanks to the immortals on Ziwai Mountain who had helped the common people. Evil spirits within a few miles dared not enter the village to cause trouble, so the people lived in peace.
Zhao Chen'an was a real foodie. He was very familiar with the food in the city. He seemed to have eaten everything, from the wontons on the East Street to the pastries on the West Street.
Qin Beixuan rubbed Zhao Chen'an's head with a helpless smile and said, "You've eaten all the food in the market. Don't you find it boring to come here?"
Zhao Chen'an shook his head and smiled sweetly. He said, "Of course not. I ate alone before, but now I'm eating with you, senior brother. The meaning is definitely different."
Suddenly, there was a soft spot in Qin Beixuan's heart. Even his gaze towards Zhao Chen'an became gentle unconsciously.
"So what do you want to take me to eat today?" Qin Beixuan asked.
Zhao Chen'an pointed to a restaurant not far away and said excitedly, "Let's go, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant!" He grabbed Qin Beixuan's hand and started running with him. While running, he explained the famous dishes in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to Qin Beixuan, "The Drunken Immortal Duck, the lotus - leaf lotus - seed congee... They are all the signature dishes here. They're so delicious!"
Looking at Zhao Chen'an drooling and reciting the restaurant's menu backwards, Qin Beixuan knew that this guy must have sneaked down the mountain to eat here many times.
Sure enough, after they walked into the restaurant, the waiter was very enthusiastic about Zhao Chen'an. "Hey, sir, you're here again. Come in, the same as usual?"
Zhao Chen'an nodded, "The same as usual."
"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."
After they were seated, Qin Beixuan asked him, "Have you come here often before?"
Zhao Chen'an didn't hide the fact that he often skipped his martial - arts training to come out and eat. "Yes. I often sneaked out to eat here when I was hungry from training. But I was caught by the master and taken back several times."
Looking at this little glutton, Qin Beixuan really didn't know what to say to him.
After waiting for a while, the waiter brought a plate of "Drunken Immortal Duck" and put it on their table. "Sir, your dish. Please enjoy it."
Zhao Chen'an leaned over to the crispy and fragrant roasted duck, sniffed, and drooled. "Mmm~ This is the taste! Senior brother, hurry up and try it. It's so delicious!"
