After a silent night, the soft sunlight shined on Zi Yang's cheeks through the window screen. He suddenly opened his eyes, immediately sat up from the bed, looked around, and found no trace of Yaorou.
"Old woman! Old woman!" He shouted as he put on his shoes and walked out the door.
When he opened the door, Yaorou, who was standing in the courtyard to dry clothes, looked at him and smiled: "What are you shouting, are you afraid that I will run away?"
Seeing that she was fine, Zi Yang walked forward and said, "Why didn't you wake me up so early?"
"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up." She pointed at the mended clothes and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
He touched the mended black clothes and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you could do this kind of needlework."
Yaorou puffed up her plump breasts and said arrogantly, "What? Do you think I just talked to you yesterday?"
"Let me tell you, I know a lot of things. I can do laundry, make tea, embroidery, and cook."
After hearing this, Zi Yang reached out his hand and touched her head a few times lovingly, and said happily: "You can also embroider?"
She slapped his palm away, took a few steps back, and stared at him warily. Ziyang smiled helplessly, and said, "It happened many years ago. If you like it, I will find a chance to open your eyes." .”
He smiled and nodded: "Okay! You stay busy here first, and I will make porridge for you."
She looked at Ziyang's back, first smiled with joy, and then her face became filled with sadness.
This kind of peaceful and comfortable life is what Yaorou yearns for, but she fully understands that this kind of life will not last long.
Therefore, she will cherish this wonderful time, even if it is only a few days, she will feel very satisfied. . . . . .
"Come on, have a taste." Ziyang placed a bowl of hot porridge in front of her.
Yaorou first straightened her nose and sniffed the rich aroma of the porridge, then took the porridge bowl from his hand with a smile, looked at the full rice grains in the bowl, turned to look at Ziyang and said, "Little rascal, this porridge is good. It smells good, shouldn’t it taste bad?”
Zi Yang did not answer her directly, nor was he angry. He changed the topic and said with a smile: "Old woman, what if this porridge tastes good?"
She blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "If this porridge suits my taste, you can do whatever you want! But if this porridge doesn't taste good, what should you do?"
He slapped his palm on the table and said immediately: "I'll do whatever you want!"
After Yaorou heard what he said, she nodded with great satisfaction, immediately picked up the porridge bowl on the table with both hands, and said impatiently: "Well, I want to have a taste of your porridge!"
Zi Yang held his chin with both hands, staring at her without blinking, with a smile on his face.
She took a small sip first, frowned slightly, and glanced at Ziyang intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing her guilty look, Zi Yang smiled proudly and said, "How is it? Old woman, are you convinced this time?"
Hearing this, Yaorou immediately put the porridge bowl in her hand on the table and pretended to be dissatisfied: "This porridge doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good."
He smiled and asked, "You really don't want to drink anymore?"
She crossed her arms across her chest, her eyes averted, and she said without even looking at Zi Yang, "Why should I drink it if it doesn't taste good?"
Zi Yang said indifferently: "Okay. Since the porridge I cook doesn't taste good, you should do this kind of thing from now on."
He stood up and walked a few steps toward the door, turned his back to her, and said deliberately: "You have to know, I hate liars the most."
Yaorou thought about it and finally felt that she had to tell him the truth, otherwise, she would suffer a big loss.
First of all, the porridge made by Ziyang is very suitable to her appetite. If he stops cooking porridge in the future, it will be a loss for her.
Secondly, she could tell from Zi Yang's words just now that he had already seen through her mind. No matter how she tried to quibble, he knew the truth.
Therefore, Yaorou picked up the porridge bowl on the table and said with a little helplessness: "Okay, little rascal, this porridge is very suitable for me. If you have any requirements, just tell me."
Zi Yang turned around with a smile, clasped his hands behind his back, stared at Yaorou who was drinking porridge, and said with a smile: "When you are full later, let's find a place to soak in a hot spring?"
Yaorou paused and asked, "How can there be any hot springs in a place like this?"
He said confidently: "You don't understand this. I will take you to the hot springs later. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
She nodded and smiled charmingly, then frowned and said in confusion: "Zi Yang, it's already late. Could it be that your two friends haven't gotten up yet?"
"No need to ask. Something must have happened to them." Ziyang's expression changed and he said, "I felt something was wrong when I came back last night. I didn't expect that they were not in the room."
As soon as he said this, Yaorou immediately put down the porridge bowl in his hand and said, "Zi Yang, what should we do?"
"Don't be anxious, drink the porridge first." Zi Yang said calmly: "I don't know who captured them, and where can we find them? Now, we can only wait for them to come to us."
Yaorou thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to their room and have a look? Maybe there will be any clues?"
Zi Yang shook his head and analyzed: "There can't be any clues. After I left, the two of them must have followed me and been caught in the mountains. Otherwise, Jia Juesheng would have used the formation to escape. "
"The two of them have lived in the town for so long. They will definitely leave teleportation arrays in the surrounding mountains and forests. Most people will not be able to catch them at all."
"What is certain is that the people who captured them are very powerful."
Yaorou looked at him quietly and joked: "Little rascal, I didn't see it, your brain is quite useful."
Although she didn't know the truth of the matter, from Zi Yang's words just now, she thought this explanation was very reasonable.
Seeing her finish the porridge in the bowl, Zi Yang asked with a smile, "Shall I serve you another bowl?"
She wiped the sticky rice oil from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, stood up and said, "I won't drink anymore. The time between you and me is limited, and I don't want to waste it on eating."
He said patiently: "It's okay. Even if I find Jia Juesheng and Xuan Yi, I won't leave in a hurry."
"Besides, even if we are separated, if you miss me, you can come to me at any time. I never said I would never see you again after we break up. You don't need to be so anxious."
Yaorou said seriously: "You have to concentrate on your cultivation. No matter how much I miss you, I can't pester you every day."
"So, I want to cherish the time I have with you now, and in the future, I will try to see you once a year."
Seeing her like this, Ziyang didn't try to persuade her anymore, and naturally held her hand and walked out the door.
On the way, Yaorou suddenly asked: "Ziyang, have you really let go?"
He frowned slightly and gradually slowed down. After a long time, he asked, "Did I say something last night?"
Yaorou hummed and said truthfully: "I told you a few times."
Zi Yang looked a little disappointed and said: "I had already given up on her, but with your appearance, I felt a little sorry for Hua Yao, so I thought of her."
She was silent for a moment and whispered: "What if Hua Yao is still alive, will you still be willing to accept me?"
"Alive? Are you kidding me?" Zi Yang shook his head and said, "Although I haven't touched the magma, I can roughly guess its temperature. She can't come out alive like you."
"Besides, you don't have to worry so much. Even if she does come out alive, my promise to you will not change because of her."
Yaorou held his palm tightly with both hands and said sincerely: "I didn't expect that after searching hard for so many years, I finally found someone worthy of trusting me for the rest of my life."
"Zi Yang, I have one last wish, and I hope you can grant it to me."
When Zi Yang heard this, he couldn't guess what it was for a moment, so he smiled and asked, "What is your wish?"
She put her mouth close to Ziyang's ear and said something unknown. The latter suddenly smiled awkwardly after hearing it.
He scratched his head with his palm and said shyly: "Isn't this a little too hasty?"
Yaorou said with a slight displeasure: "What a rush! Who knows when you will leave. If you don't work hard now, there will be fewer opportunities in the future."
Zi Yang laughed and said, "We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later."
She widened her beautiful eyes and said seriously: "Say anything else!"
Seeing that Yaorou was really angry, he smiled and said, "You can't rush this kind of thing, you have to take your time."
Yaorou still said in a strong tone: "Take your time? Why take your time? If you live an ordinary life with me, I won't say anything, but are you willing?"
As soon as she said this, the passers-by walking on the street cast doubtful glances. Seeing this, Zi Yang immediately persuaded her: "Please keep your voice down. It's not good for others to see this person coming and going."
Yaorou glanced around and said without caring, "What's wrong! They look at theirs and we talk about ours. What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm embarrassing you?"
"No, no, please listen to me and explain it to you." Ziyang said, then raised his hand to hold her hand, and with a snap, Yaorou quickly slapped his raised palm away.
She said angrily: "I can indulge you in other matters, but you must listen to me on this matter, there is no room for negotiation!"
Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Zi Yang reluctantly said softly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, can't I just listen to you?"
Yaorou was happy in her heart and asked with a calm face: "Don't lie to me!"
"When did I lie to you? Come with me." He took Yaorou's hand and walked towards the outside of the town in full view of everyone.
Soon, the two walked out of the town. During this period, they heard Dahuang and Erhei's laughter while passing by the tavern.
After walking out of the town, Yaorou saw that he had not spoken or looked at her. She thought he was angry, so she asked quietly: "Zi Yang, why don't you speak?"
Zi Yang turned around and held her delicate hand, saying, "You tolerated me so much, I can't owe you anything."
"It's just that we can just talk about some things in private. There's no need to argue in the street."
Yaorou lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "I was not afraid that you wouldn't agree, so I did this out of desperation."
He touched Yaorou's head a few times, turned around and said sideways, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hot springs right now."
Ziyang walked a few steps when he heard Yaorou's voice: "Do you just want to soak in the hot springs?"
He didn't speak or look back. He just pretended not to hear and continued to move forward. Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Yaorou didn't ask any more questions and followed him closely towards the mountains.
