He rushed back into the house, his long black hair blown into a mess. He saw that there was no one in the house, it was empty. He suppressed the fleeting bitterness and loss in his heart and tried to look at the table calmly.
On the table…
Eight days later, there were more things on the table again.
Lu Huan’s heart started pounding and he couldn’t believe his eyes.
That person is back…
That person is back?
That person is back!!!
He thought that person would never come back, but – it turned out that he was right about the fireworks just now, was it really set off by that person? He knew it, he knew that he always had an inexplicably accurate intuition about the appearance of that person!
Lu Huan was like a child who had lost his precious candy and finally found it again. He had never been so happy in his life.
His gray eyes also lit up in an instant, like a lighthouse being lit in the darkness, and became dark and bright.
His heart was about to jump out of his throat. His face suddenly changed color, his eyes turned red, and he walked quickly to the table.
Su Xi saw the almost unconcealed ecstasy and excitement on the cub’s face outside the screen, and she sniffed.
Perhaps it was because they had not seen each other for a long time and he was homesick, but Lu Huan wanted to hold the thing that man sent him today tightly in his hand and not let go, but even though they were right next to him, he was afraid to open it.
He was afraid that after delivering the things today, that person would disappear for a long time again…
There were three wooden boxes on the table.
Lu Huan suppressed his pounding heart, calmed himself down, and opened the first box.
It was filled with fireworks.
The shape of the fireworks was very unique and they were not the ordinary fireworks that could be bought on the market.
Lu Huan was happy in his heart, and although he tried his best to hold it back, he really couldn’t help it tonight. Since there was no one around, he didn’t hide it at all and finally couldn’t help reaching out and touching it.
….
The second box.
Lu Huan opened it even slower than the first one, perhaps because he felt a little reluctant.
After slowly opening it, he found a packet of seeds inside, emitting a faint fragrance. They seemed to be seeds of a pear tree?
What did that person mean?
Since he failed to keep the appointment eight days ago and failed to see the pear tree, should he let him plant a row of pear trees by himself?
Although Lu Huan didn’t understand the man’s intention, he was still happy in his heart, as if he had touched something he loved, and his eyes were like obsidian.
He held the pear blossom seeds under his nose and sniffed them.
….
There was one last box left.
Lu Huan was like a child opening a favorite gift. When it was time to open the last one, he became more and more reluctant to open it.
He glanced at the box several times, trying hard not to let the joy show in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He quickly spread out the paper and ink, dipped the brush in some ink, and placed the tip of the brush on the paper.
Lu Huan rubbed his face with his left hand to calm himself down before starting to write the note.
But as he wrote, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
It was the first time that Su Xi saw him off-screen, completely unable to contain his excitement and happiness. She couldn’t help but hold her face with her hands, smiling like an auntie.
Then, she saw what he wrote.
——”I haven’t seen you for eight days. You must have gone on a long journey. I guessed that, so I waited patiently for your return without being in a hurry.”
Su Xi: …………
???
You said you guessed it?
You said you waited for me patiently?
You said you were not in a hurry?
Baby, tell me again honestly, who was the little crybaby sitting at the door just now?
After writing, the little crybaby seemed to be quite satisfied with the statement. He folded the note together and stuffed it into the small wooden box on the table leg as usual.
He suddenly thought of something, turned around, and quickly collected the mess of papers on the ground. He held them in his arms and burned them one by one under the candlelight, with a look of embarrassment on his face… That person should not have seen it yet…
Su Xi really hadn’t read it yet. She was anxious. She was busy preparing gifts and hadn’t even taken a look at what the cub had written these days.
Unfortunately, she didn’t even see it and it was all burned.
She:”……”
After burning all the notes, Lu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to have something else to say, and wrote on the paper again –
——”However, if you have to leave for a long time in the future, can you…”
Before he finished writing, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he crumpled it into a ball and burned it.
Lu Huan looked at the blank paper, feeling a little dazed. He wanted that person not to suddenly disappear without a trace in the future, but he was also afraid that if he made any request this time, it would make that person impatient, just like the last time he asked for a meeting.
Anyway, these could be discussed later. Before he had any idea who that person was, and before he was sure that that person would never disappear, he needed to be careful about the note he wrote.
Now, there was only one box left to be opened.
….
Although he was reluctant, there was still a slight smile in the corner of Lu Huan’s eyes. He put his hand on the box, and after a while, he opened the box.
After opening it, the aroma of food wafted into the air and steam rose from inside.
A beautiful white porcelain plate, with a snow-white fish, tender green onions, and osmanthus flowers dotted in between, the goose yellow was really tempting.
Lu Huan’s expression was stunned.
Is it… a dish?
One thing suddenly occurred to his mind: that day, after he made the request for hometown dishes, he clearly burned the note immediately after writing it.
How did that person…
That person actually… Could it be possible…
Lu Huan’s whole body stiffened, and suddenly his mind flashed through the details of what had happened since that person appeared.
Putting aside the fact that he came and went without a trace every night to deliver things to him and putting aside the fact that he had great supernatural powers and was proficient in mechanical and medical skills, there were many more details.
For example, the dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables that suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, the bucket by the stream that inexplicably became lighter that day, and for some reason no words could be left behind.
These details slowly overlapped with each other. Lu Huan looked at the dish in front of him, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
….
He had never believed in supernatural things and thought they were all nonsense.
But could that person, could that person——
Su Xi saw that the boy sitting in front of the table was in a daze for a long time, and then he raised his chubby face with some confusion on his face.
There was a giant question mark on the white bubble that popped up above his head.
Expressed his inner thoughts.
——”Are you… a ghost? Or, a god?”
Su Xi’s eyelids jumped, and she was so scared that she almost fell off the bed. Wait, wait, this kid is getting so close to her identity.
Shit! She looked at the dish and suddenly realized the problem! The cub didn’t leave a note for her that day, but she saw it. He must be suspicious!
Wouldn’t that be scary?
But although there was doubt on the cub’s face, there was no fear at all. Instead –
On the contrary, there was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He looked at the endless dark night sky, pursed his lips, and clenched his fingers slightly. The subtle light in his eyes was like knowing that person, no one else could see or touch him, but only he, who had, touched, and possessed him…
The author has something to say:
The cub: – “I haven’t seen you for eight days. You must have gone on a long journey. I guessed it, so I waited patiently for you to come back without being in a hurry.”
Su Xi: You farted again.
