Chapter 22 Twenty-two hexagrams

On the way back to City B, Lu Yao woke up in a daze.

His head was placed in Xuan Ge's shoulder and his hands were wrapped around the person's neck, which was a very dependent position.

Xuan Ge held his thin waist with his right hand, closing his eyes to rest. He felt the person in his arms rubbing his neck slightly, and itchy, so he kissed Lu Yao's hair and asked in a low voice, "Are you awake?"

There was no answer, just the eyelashes were trembling.

After looking down at the person who was still closed with his eyes for a while, Xuan Ge reached out to take a bottle of mineral water from the side, and carefully fed a little water to Lu Yao's mouth.

As expected, he was thirsty. After drinking half a sip of water, Lu Yao buried his face again in Xuan Ge's neck and fell asleep.

Xue Feiyi watched the whole process from the rearview mirror, feeling all the bad feelings in her heart. She poked the astrological disk and exaggeratedly said, "Xiao Qinghe, do you think this picture is very eye-catching?"

"I don't have eyes."

"Oh my dear Xiao Qinghe, you don't even have a window to your heart!" As he said that, Xue Feiyi's expression instantly became sad again, "You don't love me anymore."

"I have never loved you." Qinghe's voice was as steady as ever, and he reminded indifferently, "It's almost speeding." Xue Feiyi was so scared that she almost stepped on the brakes.

The consciousness gradually recovered, and Lu Yao suddenly felt a little afraid of opening his eyes. He quickly recalled in his mind, confirming that those pictures should not be illusions. Xuan Ge did come to save him, but he did not forget him, he still-

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already dark outside, the incandescent lamp was on, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of food.

The feeling of home.

Lu Yao suddenly sat up from the bed, stepped on the ground with barefoot, and ran to the kitchen quickly, breathing with eagerness.

In the kitchen, the white porridge was bubbling in the pot. Xuan Ge rolled his sleeves loosely, held a wooden spoon in his hand, and was stirring patiently. Several light scars could be seen on his arm, which was almost healing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao's nose felt inexplicably sour. He walked up in two steps, reached out and hugged Xuan Ge's waist from behind, and leaned his head against the other party's back.

Only at this moment did I feel real.

After being interrupted by the sudden movement, Xuan Ge paused his hand with the wooden spoon and quickly relaxed again. He felt Lu Yao's head leaning against his back, and he remained silent and did not move.

After a while, he found that Lu Yao was still in this position. Xuan Ge put down the wooden spoon, reached out to hold the hand wrapped around his waist, turned around, leaned against the stove, and held the person in his arms.

"It feels uncomfortable to lean on my back, so it feels more comfortable to hold it like this." As he said that, he also polished the top of Lu Yao's head with his chin.

The porridge in the pot made a "gurulu" sound, and the smell of rice was emitted. Xuan Ge held Lu Yao's hand and patted it gently, with a bit of seduction, "Little Maggot Lu, should you eat something first?"

I felt Lu Yao shook his head, and his hair rubbed his neck and itched again. Xuan Ge smiled and comfortedly followed Lu Yao's spine, "I'm real, not an illusion, so we hug him after eating, okay?"

After a while, Lu Yao stood up straight. He stared at Xuan Ge, and the corners of his mouth moved, obviously trying to say something. Xuan Ge stuffed the porcelain spoon into his hand, "Let's talk about it after eating, nothing is more important than you."

He was supervised and slowly finished a bowl of white porridge, the pain in his stomach was slightly relieved. Lu Yao even felt that his whole body was warming up. He put the bowl down and subconsciously pulled the clothes on Xuan Ge's waist, "Did you... forget me before?" He mentioned it again, with nervousness.

He didn't say clearly whether "before" refers to two years ago or a few days ago.

I noticed that Lu Yao looked at him and lowered his head again. Because he had lost a lot of weight, his chin was a little sharp. Xuan Ge said "Hmm" and said, "A few minutes after you go out, the person who calls himself your brother will come over and write the notes you wrote--"

"Although I wrote that note, it was not right. It was the note I left when I left the Lu family two years ago. I went out of the store that day and met Lu Zelin at the corner. After that, I didn't realize it."

Lu Yao's explanation was very anxious. Xuan Ge smiled gently on his lips. He reached out to rub the other person's hair, nodded, and then said, "He showed me the note. I thought it was you who left it, so he reached out to take it. After that, the memory of you became blurred."

Lu Yao's hands holding the clothes subconsciously tightened.

"Later, Xue Feiyi came over and removed the effect of engraving. He and I set off to find you in Province A."

Xue Feiyi? Lu Yao thinks this name sounds familiar, but he can't remember who it is for the time being.

They roughly explained the process of the matter, but neither of them mentioned the Lihuo Fuming Pan.

Not long after, Lu Yao began to yawn again, and the corners of his eyes were wet with physiological tears. Xuan Ge found a clean pajama, pulled Lu Yao's wrist, took the person into the bathroom, and adjusted the water temperature, so that Lu Yao took a shower before going to bed.

After the bathroom door was closed, Xuan Ge took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap and took a sip on himself, then stood beside the bed, pouring the water from the bottle directly onto the bed without hesitation.

The water quickly wet the bed sheets and quilts, and it was confirmed that they could not sleep anymore, so Xuan Ge threw the almost empty plastic bottle into the trash can.

Lu Yao came out of the bathroom, and his face turned a little rosy, with a faint pink color, not as pale as before. He was wearing loose pajamas, and his collarbone was exposed, with obvious depressions and very beautiful.

"Lu Yao."

"Huh?" When he heard Xuan Ge calling him, Lu Yao looked up and looked over, his eyes as if he was holding water.

But Xuan Ge was not guilty at all, "My bed is wet, I can't sleep tonight, and there is no spare sheet or quilt at home." His voice was very calm.

He looked in the direction Xuan Ge pointed, and found that there were several large dark areas on the bed, which were indeed wet with water. He tightened the towel in his hand, and Lu Yao found that he was looking forward to it, but he was a little uneasy.

Sure enough, he heard Xuan Ge continue to ask, "I'll squeeze the sofa with you tonight, can I do it?"

"Um."

Two adult men squeezed on the narrow sofa, and they were about to fall to the ground when they turned over. When they moved slightly, the sofa would creak.

On the outside of Xuan Ge sleeping, he held Lu Yao in his arms, and the two of them were close to each other. Lu Yao still hadn't recovered. Although his whole body was nervous, he fell asleep in a short while and breathed evenly.

The breathing sound was very hypnotic, but Xuan Ge still stared at the ceiling and forced himself to sleep.

After almost an hour, the person who had already fallen asleep suddenly began to struggle slightly and was very strong. Xuan Ge quickly tightened his arms, hugged the person, and then clamped Lu Yao's legs between his legs, and maintained this position, with a layer of sweat on his back.

Listening to the sound of Lu Yao's sob in his ears, his breathing was trembling with obvious fear and pain. Xuan Ge patted his hand gently, but it didn't work. He had no choice but to worry for a while, and simply started singing in a low voice.

Because I can't even remember the high-end lyrics, Xuan Ge simply hummed an introductory song "Flash and Shine." Although it was not accurate and there were no lyrics, it had excellent results.

It was not until the second half of the night that Lu Yao fell asleep again, and occasionally he would make a few soft sobs like a kitten. Xuan Ge heard it in his ears and felt that it hurt his heart.

He was sure that nothing would happen, so he closed his eyes relaxedly and slept in his arms.

The next morning, Xue Feiyi came to knock on the door with Xingpan in her arms. When Xuan Ge opened the door and brought the person in, Lu Yao was drinking osmanthus honey water. When he heard the sound, he looked behind Xuan Ge.

Before he could react, the other party raised his hand and said hello, "Lu Yao, are you better? Are you sleeping well? Are you eating full? I feel like my face is much better. Are you in a good mood?"

After a series of "Okay", Lu Yao nodded, feeling that the other party was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, and his tone was a little hesitant, "Are you?"

He subconsciously glanced at Xuan Ge, his eyes with a little unawareness.

Xue Feiyi smiled and said, "Sure enough, you forgot me, you are so unfaithful! I am Xue Feiyi. When I was a child, I went to the Lu family with my family to attend the birthday party and met you in the backyard. Later, we met you a few times. They were real childhood friends who played together!"

While listening to what the other party said, Lu Yao's eyes slowly opened wide, looking at Xue Feiyi with a look of disbelief, "Xiaozhuang? Are you not a girl? When I first met you-"

What worries him the most was still happening.

Xue Feiyi quickly wanted to go up and stop Lu Yao from saying the next half sentence, but Xuan Ge was standing beside him, so he could not break through the defense line, so he had to listen to Lu Yao smoothly saying the next half sentence,

“—You are wearing a pink bow dress!”

Xue Feiyi hugged Xingpan tightly and glared, "Have you ever seen such a handsome girl? Have you ever seen a girl of 1.8 meters?"

Lu Yao smiled, and Xingren's eyes were bent, "But, I always thought Xiaozhuang, you are a girl."

Yan Tada sat on the sofa, Xue Feiyi hugged the star plate tightly, "Don't mention it, when I was a child, I had a strange fate. My family was afraid that I would die, so I gave me a girl's name. Forget it, I was wearing a skirt until I was nine years old! And the most amazing thing is that I am a girl, I also said to the outside world!"

He muttered, "It made me think I was a little princess when I was a kid."

Lu Yao was directly amused and comforted her, "You looked very good when you were a child, and now you are also good-looking!" When she was a child, Xue Feiyi liked to ask Lu Yao the most, which was "Do I look good?"

Xue Feiyi can be said to be Lu Yao's only friend when he was a child. He was familiar with him again. After chatting for a while, the two became familiar with each other, and the smile on Lu Yao's face never stopped.

"By the way," Xue Feiyi remembered, "Just an hour ago, the Lu family issued a statement. Lu Mingde and his eldest son Lu Fuzhou both passed away, and the eldest grandson Lu Zelin ran away and couldn't find anyone, so your second uncle Lu Fubo came out to take over the mess and directly announced that the Lu family had withdrawn from the mysterious world."

"Exit the mysterious world?" Lu Yao was a little surprised.

The Lu family was originally a mysterious art family that was as famous as the Xue family, but because Lihuo Fuming Pan had not signed a blood contract with the Lu family for nearly a thousand years, the reputation was much worse than before. And because there were fewer and fewer people with the talent of mysterious art in each generation, the Lu family quickly declined.

Seeing that Lu Yao's expression was fine, Xue Feiyi didn't have much scruples, "Your second uncle is very powerful. I remember being a businessman. I still do something very neatly like cutting off my arms and trying to save. Now I'm pushing all the responsibilities and bad things to my elder brother and father, and taking them out completely. If you can't shirk them, you will throw them all on Lu Zelin. How great! In this way, the Lu family will still be kept. When the time comes, or if Lu Zeyang rises up, you will announce that you will return to the mysterious world. It's a perfect plan."

Lu Yao nodded. This was indeed Lu Fubo's style of acting.

"By the way, the Lu family also sent me a message saying that I wanted you to go back and I would like to compensate you well."

Lu Yao shook his head directly, without any hesitation in his tone, "No need."

"The heroes have similar views, and I think so too." Xue Feiyi smiled.

When Xuan Ge heard this, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After a while, Xue Feiyi followed him in.

Lu Yao was talking to Qinghe outside, and Xue Feiyi lowered her voice and spoke without hesitation, "When I first met Lu Yao, how old was it, seven or eight years old? It was the Lu family holding a birthday party. I followed my family, but I got lost in the end and met him in the backyard."

Regardless of whether Xuan Ge was listening or not, he continued, "I was surprised when I saw him this time, because I could not see the shadow of the past from Lu Yao now. Lu Yao at that time... was not like this at all."

Xue Feiyi had a serious expression and carefully said, "When I was a child, Lu Yao almost didn't speak. He didn't even express anything when I told jokes. He never looked at people, as if he was scrubbing anything. He was always injured, green and purple, and some places seemed to be hit by stones or fell on the ground, with blood scabs everywhere. The people of the Lu family never called him by his name, but called 'Red Eyes' and 'Ghost Eyes'. I often went to the Lu family during that time, and every time I went to look for him, he was alone."

Feeling sore and uncomfortable, Xue Feiyi breathed, "He has become a little cheerful now, no, it's a lot," he paused, "It's even a little... untrue. Do you understand what I mean? What I said is a bit messy. He was locked up in the house by the Lu family since he was a child, and he didn't know what a normal life was like. Later I couldn't see him. The last time I heard from him was that he ran away from home."

Seeing Xuan Ge see him, Xue Feiyi calmly answered the other party's gaze, "I'm done, I'll just talk, you can just listen." When he turned around and went out, he added in a low voice, "I'll take Qinghe with me after dinner, and I won't disturb your two worlds."

After Xue Feiyi left the kitchen, a joke soon came, and she recalled the incident of catching grasshoppers with Lu Yao.

Xuan Ge turned off the fire and recalled what Xue Feiyi said twice. He couldn't help but lit a mint cigarette, took a few puffs, and then put it out again.

After lunch, Xue Feiyi took Qinghe away and said that she would come again for free after two days.

When the person left, the room became quiet.

Xuan Ge found clean clothes to be put on, and he took off his shirt directly. Yu Guang found that Lu Yao looked at him and then moved away instantly, with an unnatural expression.

He simply took the clothes in his hand and didn't wear them. Xuan Ge walked to the sofa with his upper body naked.

"You had memories at that time, right?"

It was obvious that when Xuan Ge was talking about it, Lu Yao did not answer, but his eyes dodged.

Suddenly he leaned down, and supported his left hand on Lu Yao's neck. Xuan Ge slowly lowered his body and leaned very close. He gently stroked the corner of Lu Yao's eyes with his right fingertips. His voice was very low, as if he was whispering.
