    Chapter 49 The First Flower

    (forty nine)

    In the fantasy stone circle, in front of the window of the thatched house.

    Clearly knowing that all this was fake and not real, the slowly rising heat in his body still controlled his mind involuntarily.

    Shen Tanqi tried hard to break away from his hand, barely holding on to the window sill, breathing rapidly, "You're almost done, this is an illusion, Yu Ce, how long are you going to stay in the illusion?"

    He didn't believe that Yu Ce didn't know that this was an illusion, and he was definitely trying to mess with him.

    Yu Ce looked at him quietly, his eyes calm and composed, as if he had guessed that he would say this, and smiled and said: "This is a good excuse, and it is more interesting than what you made up before."

    Shen Tanqi's eyes widened in shock, and then Yu Ce threw him against the window. His hands were like swaying straws, trembling weakly and fragilely when Yu Ce pressed them down steadily and without leaving any room.

    "I didn't make it up..." His mouth was ruthlessly covered, and his clothes were untied three or two times.

    The other party's breath was full of aggression, intertwined with Shen Tanqi's breath, and she slowly clasped her hands on his waist and whispered softly, with a bit of complaint in her tone: "I told you to let meKeep your voice down."

    Finally, the children stopped pestering him, so he specially made a kite for the two children to play with, so that they could have some alone time.

    Outside the small wooden window, taro balls and goldfish were running wildly in the yard with kites. The yard was not big, but the sound was so clear.

    Hearing Shen Tanqi's low cry just now, Goldfish tilted his head curiously, holding the kite string in his hand, and asked into the room: "Dad, what did you just say?"

    In the child's sight, Yu Ce leaned gently in front of Shen Tanqi, while Shen Tanqi only showed a little bit of the top of his dark hair. The two seemed to be just laughing and whispering.

    Hearing Xiao Zai's childish words that he didn't understand, Shen Tanqi's whole body tensed up instantly, his fair shoulders trembled, and he clutched Yu Ce's skirt tightly, trying to push him away quickly.

    But Yu Ce's deep laughter could be heard in his ears, and he whispered to the children outside the window: "It's okay. Daddy said he would cook fish for you at noon."

    Shen Tanqi's eyes widened in disbelief, how could the man in front of him say such words without changing his expression or heartbeat.

    He was so angry that he pinched Yu Ce's arm, and heard Yu Ce's low breathing with satisfaction.

    Yu Ce slowly lowered his eyes, and when he saw the triumphant smile in Shen Tanqi's eyes, he paused and looked a little surprised.

    You can still laugh...

    He stretched out his hand and stroked Shen Tanqi's cunning and beautiful eyes, feeling the itching sensation of the fine eyelashes brushing against his palm, and whispered his name: "Aqi."

    As soon as the words fell, Shen Tanqi got goosebumps all over his body, and subconsciously wanted to pinch him again.

    What a Qi, so disgusting.His brother has never called him that!

    In the illusion, he didn't even call him senior brother. Yu Ce was afraid that he didn't want to be beaten when he went out.

    However, before he could raise his hand, he was quickly caught and squeezed gently. Several conspicuous red marks appeared on Shen Tanqi's wrist.

    Yu Ce smiled lightly and still didn't give Shen Tanqi a chance to speak: "Ah Qi is too soft, I didn't even try hard."

    Shen Tanqi's face was red, and if his mouth hadn't been covered, he would have said a curse word right away.

    No matter how soft you are, your whole family is soft!

    But soon, Shen Tanqi no longer even thought about swearing. He was keenly aware that the long-awaited dependence period actually broke out at this time.

    In the yard separated by a wall behind him, the children's laughter seemed to be able to pass through the window.

    "Brother, please hold the kite and run faster, I will cast a wind-dispelling spell!"

    "Okay, is this fast enough?"

    "Okay, okay, hold on!"

    "Is it too soon?"

    "Faster, faster."

    In the thatched house, Shen Tanqi bit his lower lip to prevent himself from making any sound. His eyes were moist and red, and his mind was filled with the joyful voice of the child behind him. He was about to cry.

    Even in the fantasy world, they are still goldfish and taro balls.

    The top of his head was gently stroked by Yu Ce, and his tone finally sounded comforting: "It's okay, what are you afraid of?"

    In fact, he had set up a soundproof spell before he started, but he just wanted to tease Shen Tanqi deliberately, so he didn't tell him.

    Shen Tanqi turned away, his white knuckles stained with crimson inch by inch, covering his eyes in embarrassment, lowering his voice and urging: "Stop talking nonsense and end it quickly."

    Yu Ce pursed his lips and darkened his eyes: "Okay."

    Ah Qi always likes to use him as a tool, so he must fulfill his duties as a tool.

    After being tossed and turned like a quilt for a long time, Shen Tan scratched the window sill helplessly, trying hard to keep his face from being seen outside the window, otherwise he would not want to live even if it was an illusion.

    But at this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the children outside the window, as if the kite was flying.

    "Flying so high!" Taro Yuan looked up at the sky happily and ran excitedly with the goldfish.

    The goldfish was sweating profusely, but his eyes were shining. He didn't forget to shout into the house: "Daddy, daddy——"

    When the child called him, Shen Tanqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand covering his lips slowly loosened his voice. He covered his face with the quilt in shame.

    Yu Ce looked at his embarrassed look with interest and whispered, "I'm calling you."

    He pinched something in his sleeve and made the layer of soundproof spell disappear on the thatched house.

    Shen Tanqi's mind was in chaos now. He regretted not listening to the elders' advice. If he had known this, he would have left Yu Ce alone in the illusion and tortured him to death!

    Goldfish's arms were tired, but he still didn't hear Shen Tanqi's response. Seeing that the kite was about to come down, he said anxiously: "Dad, look, my kite is flying so high, come and see."

    In desperation, Yu Ce peeled off Shen Tanqi's quilt, caught him back under his body with a smile, and said loudly: "He said he saw it, and told you to be careful where you step, don't trip."

    Shen Tanqi looked at him with wide eyes, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "Yu Ce."

    Yu Ce innocently said: "What's wrong, Ah Qi?"

    "You..." Bastard.

    Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the laughter of a child outside the house.

    When the goldfish heard Yu Ce's words, he jumped for joy and said excitedly: "Okay, I know!"

    Not far away, Tao Yuan, who was holding the wind-dispelling spell, was a little confused.

    Why didn't dad say it himself, but wanted to use his father's mouth to say it?

    "Brother, the wind has calmed down. Let it go!"

    Interrupted from his thoughts by the sound of the goldfish, Taro Yuan quickly continued to cast spells to make the kite fly high, and soon forgot the confusion just now.

    In the thatched house, the unspeakable shame in Shen Tanqi's heart has not yet dissipated from his mind. Although he and Yu Ce have done this many times, and this time it happened to be the onset of dependence, but there was a baby next to him.Under the circumstances, he only felt that it was even more thrilling than usual.

    "Okay, let's continue." Yu Ce leaned down and spread his snow-colored knees.

    Shen Tanqi:??

    As for human nature, has even humanity been wiped out in the illusion?

    "The dependence period is not over yet, and the body will still feel uncomfortable," Yu Ce explained in a serious manner, "Ah Qi, I'm thinking about you."

    Shen Tanqi looked up at him helplessly. He was too lazy to worry about what the other party called him. He sighed and lay down like a dead fish: "Whatever, hurry up, I'm tired."

    After receiving his permission, Yu Ce frowned slightly, bit his neck gently, and said with a deep smile,

    "As commanded."

    The moment the dependence period ended, a thick fog came over, covering Shen Tanqi's eyes.

    The fog was not made by Yu Ce. It was not cold enough. Shen Tanqi reached out excitedly as if seeing the dawn of hope, and was swallowed whole by the thick fog in the next second.

    When the mist was spit out, Shen Tanqi sat on his knees on the ground. There was no one around him except for him, the elder in front of him, and the damn Yu Ce behind him.

    He propped up his legs tremblingly and got up from the ground. The elder's voice of relief came to his ears: "I thought something had happened to you and you couldn't come out for so long."

    After a pause, the elder noticed that Shen Tanqi's face seemed not to be well. She asked slightly confused, "Why, what happened?"

    Shen Tanqi lowered his head, shook his head, and said nothing.

    The elder didn't want to get too involved in the content of other people's illusions, so he just nodded and comforted: "Just go back and drink a few cups of soothing tea. Don't think too much."

    She raised her eyes and saw Yu Ce standing behind Shen Tanqi as if nothing had happened, still looking at the peach tree above her head in ecstasy.

    How is this going.

    There was nothing wrong with Yu Ce's fantasy, but Shen Tanqi was tortured when he entered it.

    It's strange. He probably encountered some trouble in the fantasy world.

    The elder shook her head with a smile. Since Shen Tanqi and the others were the disciples of the last round of illusion trials, she packed up her things and left.

    After the elder left, Shen Tanqi, who was standing there with his head hanging down, took a deep breath, turned around, grabbed Yu Ce's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Ce, do you really want to die?"of."

    Yu Ce took half a step back in confusion, put his fingertips lightly on Shen Tanqi's hand, frowned and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

    Still pretending, still pretending.

    Still pretending to be so similar!

    Shen Tanqi was so angry that he opened his clothes and said angrily: "See for yourself what you have done?"

    For a long time, in the somewhat frozen atmosphere, Yu Ce looked at it for a long time as if he was very troubled, and asked in confusion: "What did I do?"

    Seeing that he still didn't admit it, Shen Tanqi reached out to point him out. When he lowered his head, he found that there was no trace of being bitten on his body.

    He was dazed for a moment, and then he remembered that what happened in the fantasy world was nothing when he returned to reality.

    But he was indeed being trapped in the illusion...

    The person in front of him seemed to be as respectful as when they met early in the morning. He stretched out his hand, gently and carefully buttoned Shen Tanqi's placket, smoothed out the slight wrinkles on it, and whispered: "It's cold outside, senior brother, put on your clothes.".”

    Shen Tanqi choked on his throat and pointed at him, "Okay, okay."

    You're a great kid.

    If he doesn't repay this bad breath, he is not Shen Tanqi!

    Turning around and leaving, Shen Tanqi didn't wait for Yu Ce. Yu Ce's soft laughter came from behind, and he asked desperately: "By the way, senior brother, where is my peach branch?"

    Shen Tanqi paused slightly, and immediately took out a peach blossom from his arms without hesitation, and threw it at him without looking back, "Give it back to you!"

    Yu Ce reached out his hand to take it casually, his eyes fell on the peach branch, and he was suddenly stunned.

    It was a complete peach blossom that bloomed just right, but it was not the one he handed to Shen Tanqi before.

    ——But Shen Tanqi accidentally broke the previous branch, so he picked it off and replaced it with a new one.

    For a long time, Yu Ce carefully placed the peach blossom in his heart, cherishing it extremely.

    This was given to him by Aqi.

    The first flower.
