After the meal, Ruyi planned to go back to the nearby mountains to pick some mushrooms so that she could eat them in the evening. She carried a small basket and was about to leave. Long Zu chased after her and said, "I'll go with you. There's no firewood left in the kitchen."
If it’s too much, I’ll chop some more.”
After the embarrassing hug at night, Ruyi didn't know how to face this person.
She hummed softly and walked ahead.
The two of them were walking through the forest, Ruyi picking mushrooms and Long Zu chopping firewood, without saying much.
The atmosphere was a little deserted, so deserted that it made people uncomfortable. Longzu decided to say something to break the silence: "Is it fun to be a demon?"
"It's not bad." Ruyi thought for a moment and said seriously: "Actually, I still miss the feeling of being a human being. Not so strong, not so troubled. Everything can only be obtained by hard work. Tired but also fulfilling.
With..."
Long Zu smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. Otherwise, I can't stay here for too long, only a month. Within this month, when you are with me, don't use demon power."
.Just treat yourself as a mortal."
"Does this count?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
Long Zu stretched out his little finger and said to her: "Come on, pull the hook."
"Tick and hang yourself and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will eat chicken shit!" The two people made an agreement like children. After the hook was over, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After I smiled, I was no longer as confused as before.
Ruyi picked half a basket of mushrooms, and Longzu also chopped a small bundle of firewood.
"Rumble!" Thunder rolled in the clouds.
Long Zu raised his head and glanced at the sky, saying: "The black clouds are dense and the thunder is roaring. It looks like it's going to rain."
Before he finished speaking, big raindrops fell rapidly.
Ruyi raised her hand, preparing to recite the incantation to stop the rain.
"Wait a minute." Long Zu stopped Ruyi, and then said: "Don't forget the agreement just now. If you use demon power, you will eat chicken shit."
Ruyi was speechless: "Then find a place to take shelter from the rain. I don't want to eat chicken shit anyway..."
"Well, you can imagine it even if you don't eat it. It won't taste any better."
"Pfft, stop talking, I'm about to vomit..."
Longzu took off his outer robe, put it over his head, and said to Ruyi: "Come in quickly."
Ruyi shrank inward and pressed against his body.
She could feel the slight heat radiating from his body, smell the grass-like smell on his body, and feel his slightly heavy breathing.
She turned her face slightly, and he happened to look down. Raindrops slid down his forehead and down the high bridge of his nose.
She inadvertently raised her hand and brushed away the water drops for him.
It's raining heavily outside, but it's silent here.
He looked at her, his eyes never leaving for a moment. The rain wet her hair, and the moisture stained her face, laying a beautiful layer of mist.
The most important thing is those bright eyes, the autumn water is long and clear, and they completely reflect his shadow.
Long Zu's entire chest felt itchy, and he wanted to scratch it but couldn't. His throat throbbed, and he felt as if something had sprouted somewhere in his heart. Something extremely subtle was spreading.
Ruyi came to her senses first, and said: "We don't know when it will rain yet. Let's go back quickly. What if you catch a cold again one day and one night later?"
Without waiting for Long Zu's response, she picked up her dress and rushed into the rain.
Longzu threw away the firewood and chased after him.
