Following the explosion, the surrounding women exclaimed and all looked at Xi An.

Seeing that Xi An's face was dark, he ignored the redness of his hands, and was about to walk up the steps in two steps, towards Lin Qingbai's place.

At this time, the servant beside him took a step forward, silently stood in front of Xi An, and said in a low voice: "General, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble."

After speaking, the servant cast a glance not far away.

Xi An followed the man's gaze away, and saw Yue Hui standing not far away, looking at him coldly.

Xi An's hands slowly clenched into fists, and only then did he suppress the violent agitation in his chest.

Not long after, the second half of the shooting match began again.

In the final extra match, Xi An didn't know which string was touched, and broke out with a more crazy momentum than the previous two games. The wooden ball was under his walking stick, like a swimming dragon, flying through the clouds and breaking through the fog.Hit every time.

It took less than a quarter of an hour to start, and they scored all points directly.

The people in the arena were talking and saying, with General Xi's ability, it's no wonder he was able to beat the red scorpion to pieces, today he has learned a lot.

More people came to Lin Qingbai to praise him.

Lin Qingbai responded blankly, but in his heart he was only regretting that he had been dealing with Concubine Ming and Zhou Fuzhao just now, and hadn't been able to watch Xi'an's match more.

His disciples have such demeanor, if they want to see them in the future, they don't know how long they will have to wait.

After the knockout match was over, it was time for the dinner party.

Today was New Year's Eve, red lanterns were hung on the walls of the palace, and even the fire candles on the steps were replaced with red candles.

Looking at it from a distance, it complements the crimson palace wall, and it is a festive color in the eyes.

In winter, it gets dark early, and when the ministers are all seated, the sky outside the hall is completely dark.

The banquet was still seated according to the old custom. The royal family sat on the steps, while the ministers were divided into two rows according to civil and military positions. The seats spread from the head of the hall to the end of the hall according to the level of the official position.

Today is the New Year's Eve banquet, and it is the Taishang Emperor's Lunar New Year banquet. Even the singing girls and dancing girls are famous prostitutes invited from Jiangnan.

Just after the opening wine was finished, more than a dozen women walked up to the hall in light gauze dance skirts holding pipas.

The leading woman is wearing a tight-fitting red water-sleeve dance dress, her figure is extremely graceful, her face is covered with a red gauze, and her exposed eyes are like threads of love, her beauty is captivating.

A dance began, and the woman in red sang and danced. The long sleeves were like smoke and waves. The woman danced lightly in the sea of waves, her figure was like a snake, and she was so beautiful.

Most of the people present were stunned, holding the wine in the cups, but forgot to drink.

Until the dancer finished dancing the song, she knelt on the ground and saluted to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor.

"Liu Yueyan, a civil daughter, congratulates the Supreme Emperor's birthday, and specially presents this dance, which is called Longming Yunteng. May the Holy Body of the Supreme Emperor live forever and live forever."

The Supreme Emperor kept saying: "Okay! Miss Liu is interested, do you have the reward you want?"

At first glance, Miss Liu had seen the big world, and she didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the Supreme Emperor, but said decently: "Thank you, the Supreme Majesty, as long as I can serve you well, this is already the greatest reward."

The Supreme Emperor laughed twice, looked around the audience, then fixed his eyes on Xi An and said: "Today, General Xi won the Ju competition, and there should be a reward. I don't think it's better to let him tonightMiss Liu came to serve General Xi, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Father is right, but rewarding Miss Liu to General Xi should be regarded as father's reward. Naturally, the reward from my side must not be less. What else do you want, General Xi?"

Xi An immediately got up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it is my honor to be able to cheer your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor to enjoy the ceremony. I don't have any rewards I want."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "I promise a thousand gold, if you don't have the reward you want, just owe it first. If there is something you want in the future, as long as it is reasonable, you can ask me at any time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward from the Supreme Emperor."

During the banquet, the dancers and singing girls served wine, so Liu Yueyan sat beside Xi An, and

Other dancers also sat down in front of the powerful royal family members.

There was also a dancer sitting next to Lin Qingbai. He didn't like to be in contact with people, so he moved to the side uncomfortably.

Sensing Lin Qingbai's resistance, the dancer also sat aside tactfully, without saying a word, just pouring wine for Lin Qingbai when necessary.

From where Lin Qingbai was sitting, Xi An and Liu Yueyan could be seen just by looking up.

He frowned slightly, as if he had swallowed a fishbone in his heart, a little stalked.

That Liu Yueyan was indeed extremely beautiful, even if she covered the lower half of her cheeks, just her exposed eyes were enough to make many ministers present look at her frequently, and their eyes were full of admiration.Ann looked envious.

One must know that Liu Yueyan is a well-known prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, known to everyone in all corners of the country, but she is always young and veiled, only performing arts but not her body.

Some people spend a lot of money, some people wait day and night, it is hard to look at her.

And since she came to the palace tonight, she just said that and was rewarded by the emperor as General Xi, so it is naturally different from the past.

The implication is that she was rewarded to Xi'an tonight.

After the banquet, the two of them wanted to have sex together, otherwise they would be applauding the kindness of the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingbai squeezed the chopsticks tightly with her fingers, feeling her heart was even more stuffy and uncomfortable, and she couldn't even eat a bite.

He watched Liu Yueyan sitting beside Xi An, leaning over to prepare food for Xi An, and filling Xi An's wine cup with wine, which can be described as extremely considerate.

Xi An also had a smile on his face, answering a few words from time to time.

However, from morning to night today, Lin Qingbai and Xi An have been walking in different ways. Although they can see each other at any time, they have never said a word.

At this time Liu Yueyan stood up and took the dishes from the hand of the maid, suddenly her feet slipped and she let out a cry of surprise, and she fell backwards.

Xi An reacted quickly, and immediately stood up and hugged Liu Yueyan's waist tightly, and then stabilized Liu Yueyan's body.

There was a snap.

Lin Qingbai's face was cold, and he put the chopsticks in his hands on the chopsticks pillow with no weight or weight.

Seeing this, the wine-serving dancer next to her hurriedly wanted to serve Lin Qingbai with vegetables, but Lin Qingbai said in a cold voice, "No need, I've finished eating."

"But my lord, you haven't eaten anything..." the dancer whispered.

"I'm not hungry."

Afterwards, Lin Qingbai did not look at Xi'an again until the time of Haishi, when the banquet was over, and the ministers gave New Year greetings to the emperor and the Supreme Emperor in order of power, and then took their leave.

Xi An congratulated before Lin Qingbai.

Lin Qingbai watched him finish his congratulatory speech, and walked out of the palace gate together with Liu Yueyan. The figures of the two disappeared into the distant night.

When Lin Qingbai walked out of the main hall, there were very few carriages at the entrance of the hall.

Before he walked to the carriage, he was not in a hurry to get into the carriage, but looked around.

Hongyue knew what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "My lord, just now Master Xi'an has left in a carriage."

Lin Qingbai paused.

The cold wind blew along the moonlight, and Lin Qingbai suddenly felt very cold. He gathered the cloak on his shoulders, gave him a faint favor, and turned to get on the carriage.

When Lin Qingbai returned to the mansion, Aunt Lian and other servants were already waiting outside the door.

They poked their heads and saw that Lin Qingbai came back alone, and there was no other carriage behind, so Aunt Lian pulled Hongyue and asked in a low voice, "Where is Master Xi'an?"

Hongyue glanced at Lin Qingbai, lowered her voice and said, "Master Xi'an left first, and brought a carriage with a girl."

Aunt Lian paused: "Girl?"

That Hongyue couldn't keep her mouth shut, her eyes lit up when she talked about these things, and she whispered to Aunt Lian in a gossip whisper: "Yeah, that girl was really beautiful, she walked with her when she walked.Like a fairy, the young master was still supporting her when she got into the car, how did the young master Xi An treat that woman so well? I looked at the young master and seemed to be moved this time."

"Really?" Another little maid next to her seemed to be in disbelief, so she leaned over and asked.

"It can be false. At that time, the ministers in the court watched

The two got into a car and were talking about it."

The two little girls next to them were discussing vigorously, but Aunt Lian frowned and looked at Lin Qingbai's back.

Lin Qingbai walked alone on the plank road in the yard, his bright white clothes were reflected in the dark night, as clean as spring bamboo, but he felt a little lonely again.

The voice of discussion behind him remained the same, Lin Qingbai walked to the middle of the plank road, stopped in his tracks and suddenly said, "Who allows you to discuss behind your back?"

Lin Qingbai's voice was cold, and when he turned around, there was a chill between his brows.

The little maids immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and tremblingly pleaded guilty to Lin Qingbai.

"My lord, forgive me!"

"My lord, forgive me!"

Lin Qingbai still had a cold face and said, "If there is a next time, I will be fined to the East Kitchen!"

After speaking, Lin Qingbai flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked forward, but the servants behind him did not dare to follow.

It was not until he entered the bedroom and closed the door that Lin Qingbai let go of the blunt anger on his face.

He leaned against the door, closed his eyes, and looked exhausted.

He was very tired that day.

He was so tired that even opening his mouth to breathe seemed to consume every drop of blood in his body. His mind was in chaos, his body was weak and weak, and he couldn't even stand upright.

He staggered to the bed, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.

Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone is waiting to watch the fireworks.

The red lanterns outside the window were still on, swaying with the wind.

Even if Lin Qingbai closed his eyes, the red light was still in front of his eyes, which made him upset and his forehead ached.

Lin Qingbai pulled the quilt higher and curled up in the quilt.

Without that disturbing light, Lin Qingbai felt a lot better, his fingers gripped the corner of the quilt tightly, and the veins on his thin bony wrists were faintly visible.

He felt so strange.

As long as he closes his eyes now, he will recall the scene just now, Xi An and Liu Yueyan are sitting together, Xi An is holding Liu Yueyan's shoulder...

Lin Qingbai drank some wine at night, he closed his eyes tightly, and thought for a long time, and finally gradually became confused in these uneasy thoughts that disturbed him.

When he woke up again, Lin Qingbai was awakened by the discomfort in his stomach.

When he opened his eyes, he felt dizzy, and his stomach and abdomen felt as if someone had pricked him with a sharp needle, causing him to sweat profusely.

He curled up and pressed the pain, trying to relieve it, but his stomach began to bloat again, which made him feel sick and nauseated, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Qingbai had no choice but to forcefully sit up.

His mind was so dizzy that he couldn't tell why he was like this for a while.

Xu Shi didn't eat anything tonight, Xu Shi sat outside today and drank the cool breeze.

It is more likely that he is in a bad mood today.

Lin Qingbai's hands and feet were cold, and he leaned against the head of the bed, his body sweating layer by layer.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and called his servants in.

"Red Moon."

Hearing the call, Hongyue cautiously pushed open Lin Qingbai's door, but she panicked when she saw Lin Qingbai's pale face, and she immediately said: "My lord, I'm going to call Doctor Liang right away!"

Lin Qingbai raised his hand to stop it, and said in a hoarse voice, "...it's too late, I just have a small problem, so don't bother Dr. Liang."

Hongyue was also in a hurry, she rubbed her hands together and said, "Then...then I'll go find Master Xi'an."

This time Lin Qingbai's hand was hanging in the air, his slender fingertips trembled, but in the end he slowly put down his hand, not stopping Hongyue's actions.

Lin Qingbai had always been patient, and Hongyue followed him to serve him. Where had he encountered such a situation before, the little girl turned around and ran out, and the door of the palace was closed with a bang.

Lin Qingbai was alone in the room, raising his eyes to look at the festive red outside the window.

He was thinking what Xi An is doing now?

At this moment, he should be with Liu Yueyan, maybe they are having a drink and chatting together, or maybe they are having sex for a moment.

Now that Lin Qingbai opened his mouth to look for him, he didn't know that the servants in the mansion

How long will it take to find him.

If it disturbs his good night, don't know if he will feel worried.

It is said that stomach and abdomen disease is an emotional illness, and Lin Qingbai thinks too much.

I only felt a sudden pain in my abdomen, like a knife cutting, and Lin Qingbai's eyes went dark in pain, and he couldn't even breathe with his mouth open.

It was at this moment that the door of the temple was pushed open.

A cold wind blew in suddenly.

Lin Qingbai raised his head and saw Xi'an standing outside the door with a solemn expression and a dusty air on his body.

He pushed the palace door open with considerable force, and the door hit the wall with a bang.

Xi An didn't care about these things, he walked quickly to Lin Qingbai's bed, and asked with a worried face: "Master, what's wrong with you? Stomach pain or abdominal pain?"

Lin Qingbai was feeling very uncomfortable.

He was wearing a white shirt and underwear, with black hair hanging over his shoulders. He pressed his stomach firmly with his palm, and grasped the edge of the bed tightly with his other hand. He squeezed until his fingertips were bloodshot, and then he stabilized his body.

However, all these strong strengths collapsed the moment he saw Xi'an.

His eyelashes trembled, and when he was about to speak, he was choked by the air-conditioning, coughed twice, and his body fell forward limply like a fluffy white feather.

Xi An reacted quickly, caught Lin Qingbai's soft body with one hand, lifted the cloak hanging on the bedside with his other hand, and draped it over Lin Qingbai's trembling shoulders.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..."

Lin Qingbai lay on Xi'an's shoulder, coughing violently.

It's not over yet, every time he coughs, he feels flatulence and tingling pain in his stomach.

Lin Qingbai's eyes were full of tears, and his slender fingertips tightly grasped Xi'an's arm, pinching Xi'an's clothes in the palm of his hand, and the wrinkles were unbearable.

Xi An patted Lin Qingbai's back with one hand to comfort him, and pressed the other hand on Lin Qingbai's hand pressing on his stomach, and whispered in Lin Qingbai's ear: "Master, I'll come."

Lin Qingbai withdrew some strength in his hand, and Xi An's hand squeezed in.

Lin Qingbai's hands were cold, and pressing his stomach would only be counterproductive.

And Xi An's palm was bigger than Lin Qingbai's, and one palm could almost cover Lin Qingbai's entire slender waist.

The underwear Lin Qingbai was wearing was thin, and the folds of the underwear on her abdomen were wet.

When Xi An's palm touched Lin Qingbai's delicate and soft skin, he could even feel a slight bulging and undulating stomach.

His hands were as hot as a small stove, warming Lin Qingbai's cold stomach, and he massaged them with appropriate strength, not so hard that it made Lin Qingbai uncomfortable and nauseated, nor so light that it was unnecessary.

"Master, is your stomach bloated?"

Lin Qingbai's face was a little red, he hoarsely said, and then closed his eyes impatiently, letting Xi'an's hands caress and rub his body.

In order to take care of Lin Qingbai, Xi An specially learned how to massage from Liang Yaochu.

Lin Qingbai's body felt much better after a while under his massage and manipulation.

Lin Qingbai leaned on Xi'an's shoulder, although he didn't speak, but Xi'an also felt it.

He asked softly, "Is Master better?"

Lin Qingbai's body was still weak, leaning on Xi'an's shoulder, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and said two words in a hoarse voice: "Back pain."

"oh oh."

Xi An immediately moved his hand, put it on Lin Qingbai's narrow and tight waist, and rubbed it repeatedly.

Lin Qingbai's waist is sensitive, and he can even feel the thin calluses in Xi An's hands under the thin clothes.

For some reason, Lin Qingbai suddenly remembered that at the banquet tonight, when Liu Yueyan was about to fall, Xi An's hands were wrapped around Liu Yueyan's waist.

Xi An's hands are big and warm, and each finger is strong.

Did Liu Yueyan feel the warmth of Xi An's palm like him?

Lin Qingbai didn't know what was wrong with him.

Xi'an is now eighteen years old, and he is a high-ranking minister in the capital. Today's events are perfectly normal.

But whenever Lin Qingbai thought of that moment at the banquet, his heart felt like grass had grown, and the roots of the grass were pricking into the bottom of his heart. It was so painful and itchy that he wanted to pull it out.

The trouble made his heart dry, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.

"Heavier." Lin Qingbai said hoarsely.

Xi An used some strength according to his words.

Lin Qingbai felt that it was not enough, and said, "It should be heavier."

Xi An frowned, but according to what Lin Qingbai said, he added some strength to his hands, and suddenly he pressed a painful tendon in Lin Qingbai's waist.

"Well!"

The pain was like a steel needle, piercing straight to the top of Lin Qingbai's head.

Lin Qingbai immediately let out a muffled snort, and immediately limp on Xi'an's body, her eyes turned red from the pain.

Xi An was also stunned, he stopped his hands, and said eagerly: "Master, what's wrong?"

Without waiting for Lin Qingbai's reply, Xi'an lifted up Lin Qingbai's clothes in a fierce manner, and bent down to look.

Lin Qingbai's waistline was tight, and a beautiful arc was bent out of the waist, like a machete.

It's just that now that piece of skin is flushed by Xi An's rubbing, it is particularly conspicuous on Lin Qing's white jade-like skin.

Xi An put down Lin Qingbai's clothes, covered the red mark on Lin Qingbai's body with his hands, and said distressedly: "Master, did I hurt you?"

Lin Qingbai's chin rested on Xi'an's shoulder, and his eyes were very red.

He didn't answer Xi An's words, but just raised his hand and slapped Xi An on the back.

There was a snap.

Perplexed, he slapped again.

These two slaps were neither light nor heavy, but more like venting.

Xi An's thick skin didn't respond, but he immediately hugged Lin Qingbai tightly, rubbed Lin Qingbai's sore spot with his hands, and was as careful as protecting a fragile snow doll, and said in a low voice: "Master,It's my fault, I should be lighter."

"Master, is this better?"

Lin Qingbai lowered his head, put his eyes on Xi'an's shoulder, and nodded slowly.

Only then did Xi An feel relieved. While pressing Lin Qingbai, he coaxed Lin Qingbai in a low voice, apologizing to him.

Listening to the good-tempered voice of his apprentice, Lin Qingbai felt that he was really hard to serve.

Obviously he was unwell in the middle of the night, so he called him over.

It was he himself who said that his back hurts, so he asked people to rub it harder.

Now Xi An rubbed hard and hurt him, and he hit someone angrily again, and had to be coaxed to apologize.

All over the world, where is there such an unreasonable and delicate master.

It's so hard to serve, Lin Qingbai......

Xi An rubbed Lin Qingbai's waist for a while, then placed his hand on Lin Qingbai's stomach, and said, "Master, you haven't eaten much tonight, do you want to eat something?"

Lin Qingbai felt a little bloated and nauseous now, how could he eat.

He shook his head and said, "I have no appetite, I can't eat."

When he said this, Xi An didn't dare to persuade him to eat.

Lin Qingbai has a shallow stomach, and if he eats a little too much on weekdays, he will be very noisy.

Now that the night is already deep, if you really accumulate food, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Xi An didn't speak, and warmed Lin Qingbai's stomach with one hand, and gently stroked Lin Qingbai's thin back with the other hand.

Lin Qingbai's soft and thin body leaned on his shoulder.

Xi An turned his body sideways, and could even smell the faint fragrance from Lin Qingbai's neck, like bamboo after the rain, moist and elegant, making people want to smell more.

Xi An's eyes dimmed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

There was only one candle burning in the hall.

The two were silent for a while, and Lin Qingbai finally came to his senses and asked in a muffled voice, "How do you know I didn't eat at night?"

"Master and I were at a dinner party, so I naturally know about Master's situation."

Hearing what Xi An said, Lin Qingbai felt better.

He lowered his eyes and hesitated for a long time before he asked the question that stuck in his heart: "...

...... You came so fast just now, where are you and Miss Liu?"

"I have already returned to the mansion, and I am not with Miss Liu." Xi'an explained: "Miss Liu is not my favorite, and I can't appease the kindness of the emperor and the emperor, so I took her out of the palace and arranged for her.A good place to stay and come back.”

When Lin Qingbai heard what Xi An said, he felt that the restless weeds that had grown in his heart were burned away by the fire in an instant, leaving only a piece of cool breeze.

Lin Qingbai's eyes bent unconsciously, but his mouth was still very inconsistent and he said: "If the emperor knows that you have refuted his good intentions, he will definitely feel worried."

Xi An gave a low laugh and said, "That's okay. If I didn't refute his good intentions, I wouldn't be worried."

Lin Qingbai's eyelashes trembled, and he had nothing to say for a while.

At this moment, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The fireworks all over the sky exploded outside the window, and the colors were vivid, like silver snakes and shooting stars. The misty rain fell, and the brilliance illuminated half of the sky. The sea of flowers bloomed continuously, extending to the boundless distance.

Even though he has seen the fireworks many times, Lin Qingbai is still fascinated by them.

Xi An turned around and looked out of the window, and after a while he whispered, "Master, the New Year is here."

"kindness."

Lin Qingbai responded, but the answer was very light.

Xi An withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Lin Qingbai again.

Lin Qingbai's eyelashes are very long, the tip of his nose is straight, and the blush at the corners of his eyes has not dissipated just now. At this moment, those beautiful eyes are looking at the fireworks outside the window, and the flickering fireworks are reflected in the dark brown pupils, which is extraordinarily gentle..

Xi An tilted his head, and when he looked at his master, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said softly, "Master, I have a New Year's gift for you."

Only then did Lin Qingbai look away from the fireworks, looked at Xi An and asked, "What?"

With a smile in his eyes, Xi An got up from the bed and walked to the window. He opened the wooden window and raised his hand to blow a long whistle.

That whistle pierced through the sound of fireworks above the sky, and a bird blew far away until a long time later, a bird flew quickly from the sky, Xi An stretched out his hand, and it landed firmly on Xi An's wristbetween.

Xi An turned around with the bird in this way, and walked up to Lin Qingbai step by step.

It wasn't until he got closer that Lin Qingbai could see the appearance of that bird clearly.

To be precise, it was not an ordinary bird, but a very large falcon with a ferocious appearance, sharp claws, dark brown fur, and a pair of dark eyes staring at Lin Qingbai fiercely.

This kind of bird of prey falls on Xi'an's wrist, which suits him very well.

Xi An sat beside Lin Qingbai's bed, the falcon raised its head, as if it was curious about Lin Qingbai, and still stared at Lin Qingbai intently.

Looking at its appearance, Xi An suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that it likes Master very much."

Lin Qingbai asked: "What is this?"

"This is a peregrine falcon. It is very responsive and flies very fast. This bird is relatively rare. It is not from the Fu Dynasty. I brought it back from the Red Dragon. There are mostly nomadic clans there, and it can be used as a whistle eagle."

Lin Qingbai frowned: "Why did you send me the Whistle Eagle?"

Xi An said with a smile: "Master, if you feel unwell in the future, you can use it to call me. It's just that the peregrine falcon recognizes its master. It has only come to Master now. It needs to be fed for a year before it can be used by Master. At that time, no matter where I amIt can be found anywhere, and it is much faster than handing it down."

It's just that Lin Qingbai was unwell and asked him tonight, but Xi An remembered it.

Lin Qingbai's heart instantly became soft and cottony, he lowered his eyes, his eyes were red, and he said awkwardly: "You are a general now, I am afraid that even if the whistle eagle is looking for you, you will not have time to look at it."I."

"Won't."

After Xi An finished speaking, he was afraid that he would not be firm enough. He tilted his body and tilted his head, moved closer to find Lin Qingbai's eyes, and said emphatically, "Nothing is more important than Master."

Lin Qingbai was obsessed with Xi Anna

His cheeks were hot as he watched.

He couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his hand and pushed Xi An's body away, suppressing the trembling in his heart, he stroked the peregrine falcon.

Peregrine Falcon also gave him face, jumped on the bed twice, and then jumped in front of Lin Qingbai, letting Lin Qingbai's fingers brush its small head, without resisting.

The fireworks outside the hall remained still, and Lin Qingbai's side face was illuminated through the window, flickering bright and dark, Lin Qingbai was wearing a big cloak, half leaning on the bedside, eyelashes drooping, slender fingertips were touching the peregrine falcon'sFeather, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xi An looked at Lin Qingbai for a while, and suddenly asked softly, "Master, are you happy today?"

Lin Qingbai paused when he heard the movement of his hands, continued to stroke the feathers of the peregrine falcon with a light smile and said, "Happy."

All the unhappiness during the day today was not as good as when Xi An was by his side when the fireworks started, and it was not as good as this New Year gift that Xi An gave him.

Lin Qingbai was very pretty when he smiled, Xi An looked at him for a moment, then suddenly his eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to hug Lin Qingbai into his arms.

He hugged Lin Qingbai very tightly, before Lin Qingbai could react, he heard Xi An whisper in his ear.

"Master, happy new year, may the new year no matter what happens, master will always be by my side..."

But a very common greeting.

Lin Qingbai felt that this was a promise that did not require an answer, but it warmed his heart as if he had just taken a sip of warm soup.

He stared at the fireworks outside the window with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, but he didn't respond.

But Xi An hugged him even tighter, and repeated in a low voice as if he was raving: "...Master, no matter what happens, you must always be by my side.....”

"Always by my side..."
