    Chapter 36 One Dare to Say Wild Goose Bugui: (Thinking)…

    “Xiao Yan wants to go to Feixian Island? I can lead the way!” Bai Renyu tilted his head, and when he saw Yan Bugui hiding the conch carefully, he immediately spoke again, “If you go now, you can touch the shiny and slippery tail!”

    “No, let’s go to the capital to find Brother Liu first.” Yan Bugui moved his arm and let the parrot fly.

    Bai Renyu flapped his wings and flew around his master’s head: “Why? Why? Brother Xie has a tail for you to touch! Do you really not want to go and see it?”

    Yan Bugui gently tapped the little parrot on the head with his finger: “Okay, it’s getting late. You guys must be tired after coming from the South China Sea. Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow.”

    He had to tell the little parrot that he had touched the tail a long time ago because he had a brain problem, and even did other actions besides stroking… Ahem, anyway, it was impossible for him to reveal such a private matter to the innocent Xiao Yu even if he was killed.

    As for the reason why he did not go to Xie Donghai but decided to go north to the capital, it is actually not complicated – his brother Xie is a grown-up man who only accepts smooth touching, so under normal circumstances he will basically follow the other person’s wishes.

    But also because Xie Donghai has long been accustomed to his “obedience”, so he has to “rebellion” occasionally. Otherwise, if he blindly fulfills the other person’s wishes, it will be difficult to leave a deeper imprint in the other person’s heart. Such a mythical beast with an extremely long lifespan is too easy to forget irrelevant people and things. If you can’t “stimulate” the other person to think of you all the time, the relationship may suddenly fade one day.

    Yan Bugui had been playing this trick with his brother Xie intentionally or unintentionally from the very beginning, even before he fell in love with Xie Donghai, and this was still the case until they later fell in love.It can only be said that one of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and they like to play with each other like this.And if he was a little uncertain and guilty before, now he is more arrogant and proud.

    Hearing Yan Bugui’s words, Xue Ling nodded to the swordsman spiritually, then fluttered her wings and flew high into the sky, looking for a place to rest on her own.Bai Renyu’s eyes rolled around, and he shouted loudly: “We just met again! How could you sleep!”

    The swordsman ignored the parrot, which shone brightly when given some sunshine, and went straight back to his small tent.Bai Renyu shouted a few more words, “Brother Xie has a new love on the island”, “Should we dump Brother Xie”, “What shall I eat tomorrow morning”… but after receiving no reply from the owner, he quietly flew up to the roof of the tent, stood on the highest tip, and fell asleep with his head hanging down.

    Yan Bugui, who was lying in the tent with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and noticed that there was no other sound before closing his eyes again.

    Probably because tonight he not only reunited with Bai Renyu and Xue Ling, but also learned about Xie Donghai’s current situation. Knowing that the two brothers were fine so far, he could finally let go of his worries. Yan Bugui had a dream – he dreamed about the past many years ago, and also dreamed about how he realized that his feelings for Xie Donghai had unknowingly changed…

    .

    In the twelfth year of Tianbao, which was also the second year after Yan Bugui silently ran from the East China Sea to the Central Plains, Xie Donghai suddenly appeared in front of him after he was injured.The young swordsman, who was unprepared for this, was confused for a moment and had no idea how to respond. He had to pretend to be unconscious on the spot to buy himself time to think.

    It’s a pity that his little skills could not be concealed from Xie Donghai, who had been pretending to be a human for two or three hundred years ashore. When the Penglai elder took the “fainted” swordsman into his arms, he took advantage of the situation and nodded his sleep. A certain little goose who pretended to be dead was now really unconscious.

    When he slowly woke up from a deep sleep, Liu Yuan, who used the pseudonym “Yang Li” at the time, only left a letter, asking Xie Donghai to deliver it. The other person was already on his way back to Badao Villa.

    When Yan Bugui came back to consciousness, he noticed that his whole body was very dry, and the wounds all over the place had been cleaned, applied medicine, and bandaged. They were cool and only had a slight tingling sensation—probably because they had been given some numbing medicine.

    He didn’t find it strange when he opened the quilt and found that he was not wearing any clothes at all – Xie Donghai’s way of educating him was to do his own things by himself. His brother Xie had never known how to feed him or help him put on clothes and shoes since he was a child… Therefore, he who had never been pampered accepted his new life in the Sword Sect very smoothly, and did not feel anything was wrong at all.

    What penetrated the room through the paper screen window was the faint moonlight, and the sky was obviously very dark.He had just woken up and was not sleepy anymore, so he groped towards the bedside out of habit, and sure enough he found a pile of clothes. He put on his coat and trousers based on his feeling, then put on a coat, got out of bed with his bare feet and lit the candlestick on the table——

    Then he was shocked to find that Xie Donghai was sitting by the door opposite the bed, seeming to have been quietly observing him.

    Yan Bugui’s first reaction was not that he had been exposed – after all, he had no cover in front of Xie Donghai. His first reaction was, where did his brother learn the skill of hiding his aura and figure?He was completely unaware until he lit the lamp!Can he learn this breath-holding technique?

    Xu Shiyan thought too much at that moment, and there was no movement for a while. Xie Donghai took the initiative and asked: “What’s wrong? You hurt your head before, and you can’t wake up after sleeping all day and night?”

    Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Bugui finally came back to his senses and said with some surprise: “So I slept all day and all night? No wonder I’m so hungry!” As soon as he finished speaking, a “Gululu” echoed in the room that was not very spacious, proving that what his owner said was true.

    Xie Donghai raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the person: “If you’re hungry, eat first.”

    Yan Bugui responded softly, immediately sat on the stool, opened the wooden box that had been placed on the table, and took out a large bowl of millet porridge and two large buns that smelled like meat filling. Not surprisingly, they were still warm.

    The swordsman finished the food quickly at a speed that was very efficient but did not give the impression of gobbling up food. Then he raised his head and looked at Xie Donghai, who was sitting next to him unknowingly, and asked: “Brother, how is Brother Yang doing now? And Xiaoyu, do you know where it went?”

    “Your brother Yang received a letter from Fei Ge yesterday, saying that the elders in the family are looking for him in an emergency and he has to leave first – this is the letter he left for you.” Xie Donghai said, pushing a letter in front of Yan Bugui, and then mentioned Bai Renyu, “As for the parrot you raised… I tied its mouth and hung it outside.”

    “If Xiaoyu accidentally offends you by saying something wrong, I will blame you for it.” Yan Bugui did not immediately open the letter left by “Yang Li” in front of Xie Donghai, but carefully looked at the person in front of him.

    Seeing the calm expression on the other party’s face, the swordsman stretched out his hands in a panic and grabbed the clothes at Xie Donghai’s arms. The soft fabric was as light as nothing. He skillfully maintained the strength to not damage the clothes and gently shook it from side to side. He whispered, softly and clearly: “Brother, if you are angry, come at me, don’t get so angry.”

    Xie Donghai glanced down at Yan Bugui’s small movements, then raised his eyes to look at the person and asked noncommittally: “Am I angry? Why am I angry?”

    Yan Bugui lowered his head slightly and admitted his mistake honestly: “I shouldn’t have gone to the Central Plains on my own without consulting you, and asked my fellow disciples to deceive you.”

    Xie Donghai said “hmm” and then replied: “You have mentioned this before, there is no need to repeat it again – what else?”

    And?Yan Bugui blinked again and again, unable to react for a moment. Apart from this incident, has he done anything too extreme?

    The swordsman’s looming stiffness and empty thoughts were too easy to identify. Xie Donghai smiled without any extra emotion, and raised the chin of the person in front of him with his long, cold knuckles. His thumb stopped on the other person’s lips and pressed lightly: “Do you still remember what you did before leaving Penglai?”

    I remember, I remember so much… Under the dim candlelight, Yan Bugui’s eyes widened slightly, and the subtle touch on his lips made him tremble, and he couldn’t help but recall the scene two years ago.

    Two years ago, the senior sister who lived in the dormitory opposite him went back home. When she returned to Dao Zong, she brought a box of miscellaneous books. She said they were all story books and picture books written by or collected by her childhood sweetheart.The senior sister said that it was useless for her to hide these things privately, so she put the entire box in the square and shared it publicly. If any of her classmates were interested, they could take it away directly.

    Yan Bugui was originally focused on practicing swordsmanship and sparring, and didn’t pay attention. Bai Renyu brought him several books one after another and threw them directly on his bedside. He then picked them up and flipped through two pages.But it was okay if he didn’t turn it over, but something went wrong when he turned it over——

    At first glance, hey, why are there two villains fighting?

    At second glance, oh, it turns out to be another kind of goblin fight.

    At the third glance, wow, why do those two people seem to be of the same sex?

    Sensing something was wrong, Yan Bugui suddenly closed the picture book with a “bang”, blushed slightly and told Xiaoyu to immediately put all the “books” he had brought back to their original places.No matter how much Bai Renyu shouted that it wanted to hear a story and read it to it quickly, the swordsman’s heart was as iron as steel and remained unmoved. The little parrot had no choice but to put all the books it had managed to get into the room back into the mysterious big box.

    Things seemed to have come to an end just like that.However, Yan Bugui had a dream that night. Among the two protagonists, one was him and the other was his sworn brother Xie Donghai. The details were hazy and hazy… Then he was woken up, and he got up earlier than usual to practice swordsmanship in the morning.

    As if he was guilty, he quietly found a corner to change into his original trousers and sheets. On his way back, he bumped into a classmate who had been practicing swordsmanship all night. Fortunately, he was in a hurry to go back and rest, so he successfully fooled him.

    Because of this inexplicable dream, Yan Bugui was absent-minded all day long. His fellow disciples who were sparring with him soon realized that something was wrong with him and asked him to come back after he recovered.Thinking that the person who tied the bell must be untied, he shamelessly approached the senior sister who gave the book away.

    Naturally, he didn’t tell his dream when he came up. Instead, he mentioned Bai Renyu’s previous experience of picking up and returning books, and then pretended to casually ask his senior sister if he had read what books they were.

    The senior sister was honest and said that she had flipped through a few pages and knew that there were all stories about fancy love, including male-female combinations, male-female combinations, and one-on-one innocent love stories, as well as large-scale multi-player sports; there were love stories between two people, and there were also one or several non-human beings… The categories were really rich.

    Yan Bugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn’t see anything weirder. Then he started with “I have a friend” and hesitantly asked the senior sister for consultation. He basically said: One day, a younger sister saw such a storybook, and the next day she had a dream of this and that with her sister. Is this normal?

    After the senior sister heard this, her first reaction was: “Are you brothers close?”
