My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 21
byChapter 21 Chapter 21 Youth Past
However, when Shen Lanchuan wore this red that was so intense that it was almost arrogant, it was strangely suppressed. Instead of appearing gaudy, it gave Shen Lanchuan a completely different and impactful beauty.
The robe made of bright red cloud brocade fits Shen Lanchuan’s tall and slender figure, with sharp shoulder lines and a tight waistband, which vividly outlines his broad shoulders and narrow waist.The dark gold intertwining lotus pattern on the material flowed under the light. As Shen Lanchuan stepped forward, the gold and red intertwined, creating a bit of dazzling brilliance. The silver edge at the collar made Shen Lanchuan’s neck line become more cold and slender.
The red made his originally too cold white complexion feel warm, dispelling his usual coldness.Her black hair was still tied up with a simple hosta, and a few strands of broken hair hung in front of her forehead. Her eyebrows still had the same deep and cold look, but they looked even more sharp and dazzling under the overwhelming red light.
The shopkeeper was so stunned that he forgot to dial the beads on the abacus in his hand, and murmured: “Oh, it’s really… this is just the way a deity descends from the earth! The red on the young master is even more handsome than the general in the painting!”
Ji Hantong was also stunned, blinked subconsciously, and forgot to speak for a moment.He had never thought that Shen Lanchuan would wear such a red robe. The color was too flamboyant and enthusiastic, and it should have been incompatible with Shen Lanchuan’s cold temperament.But when it was worn on Shen Lanchuan, not only did it not violate the rules, but it seemed to be tailor-made for him. The cold heavenly immortal in the past was contaminated with the smoke of fireworks, forming an ultimate contrasting beauty.
Shen Lanchuan was slightly uncomfortable with his direct gaze, and the tips of his ears were imperceptibly reddened, but he still maintained a calm surface, but his voice was a little lower than usual: “Junior brother, how are you?”
Only then did Ji Hantong come back to his senses, his cheeks felt a little hot, and he quickly looked away, but couldn’t help but take a sneak glance, and whispered: “Senior, senior brother, why did you choose this red? Didn’t you dislike such flamboyant colors in the past?”
Shen Lanchuan lowered his eyes and looked at the red robe on his body, walked to Ji Hantong and leaned over to look at him: “Junior brother, don’t you think it looks good?”
His speaking speed was slower than usual, and the ending of his voice was also deliberately prolonged, as if to seduce people.
Ji Hantong raised his head and faced Shen Lanchuan’s handsome face with blazing eyes, and his heart beat involuntarily faster.He looked away in panic and pretended to be calm: “Senior brother, you look good in anything you wear, and this red is even more radiant on you.”
The shopkeeper came back to his senses at this time, and quickly reconciled with a smile: “The two young masters are truly a match made in heaven! They will definitely be the most eye-catching couple in Luo City tonight when they walk on the street!”
Her words of “a match made in heaven” were meant to be a businessman’s flattery. It didn’t sound like much to Ji Hantong, but Shen Lanchuan’s eyes moved almost imperceptibly.
Ji Hantong waved his hand: “The shopkeeper is joking, we are just brothers.”
The shopkeeper’s eyes lingered between Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong, and suddenly he covered his lips and smiled: “It’s me who talks too much.”
After paying the money, the two of them walked out of the clothing store and rejoined the surging crowd on the street.
Even if they changed into the splendid clothes that ordinary human princes would wear, the aura of the two of them was still there, and the rate of turning heads was still very high.Wherever he passed, the crowds dispersed automatically, and whispers and stunned glances followed him.
“Look at those two gentlemen! My God, are they the immortal figures walking down the painting?”
“The one in red is so handsome and powerful… I don’t even dare to look at him.”
“The young man in Tsing Yi next to him is also very good-looking. His eyebrows are very delicate, and that cinnabar mole… Tsk, it’s really amazing.”
“Are they together? People can’t take their eyes away when they are together…”
Ji Hantong was a little uncomfortable at first, but he was soon attracted by the excitement of the lantern festival.
Both sides of the long street are hung with all kinds of lanterns, including rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, revolving lanterns, palace lanterns…with different shapes. The candlelight shines through the colored paper or gauze and creates a warm and hazy halo, illuminating the whole street like daytime, but also a little more dreamy and blurry than daytime.
Jugglers were blowing fire from their bowls in the open space, attracting bursts of applause; the lantern riddle booths were crowded with talented people and beauties meditating; the riverside was crowded with men and women placing lotus lanterns, lighting candles and flowing down the river, like a river of stars falling into the world.
Ji Hantong was like a child who came to the city for the first time, and his eyes were almost exhausted.He tugged on Shen Lanchuan’s sleeve, pointing to the huge carp lantern and exclaiming, and then squeezing in front of the candy seller’s stall and watching the master craft the lifelike zodiac shapes one by one.
“Senior brother, do you think this looks like the white crane that master raised at Silver Moon Peak when we were children?” He held up a crystal clear sugar painting and handed it to Shen Lanchuan as if to offer a treasure.
Shen Lanchuan’s eyes moved from his shining eyes to the fluttering sugar crane in his hand, and the corners of his cold lips seemed to soften for a moment.
“Yeah, like.”
“Boss, I want this!” Ji Hantong happily paid and held up the sugar crane carefully, but was reluctant to bite it and only glanced at it from time to time.
Shen Lanchuan walked half a step beside him, and his tall and straight red figure invisibly separated him from most of the crowded crowd.Those overly scorching eyes also involuntarily converged a bit when they touched the cold aura around Shen Lanchuan.
The aroma of various delicacies floated in the air, and Ji Hantong’s nose twitched, feeling a little intoxicated.
He took Shen Lanchuan to eat and stop, and when he passed a stall selling masks, Ji Hantong stopped again.The stalls are filled with masks of various colors, including ferocious Nuo masks, cute animal masks, and half masks with exquisite patterns.
“Senior brother, should we wear this?” Ji Hantong picked up a ghost mask with a green face and fangs and compared it to his face. It was indeed fierce. He was indeed powerful.
Then he picked up a red mask with golden cloud patterns and handed it to Shen Lanchuan, “This color matches your clothes.”
Wearing a mask should make you less noticeable, right?
Shen Lanchuan looked at the mask and did not rush to pick it up. Instead, he picked up another one from the stall.
It was a mask with a white background, with sparse bamboo shadows painted on it with light blue and silver-gray paint. There was also a small but very eye-catching red sun dotted on the upper right corner, which was somewhat similar to the mole at the end of Ji Hantong’s eye.
“Wear this.” Shen Lanchuan handed the bamboo shadow mask to Ji Hantong, and he took the mask from Ji Hantong’s hand.
Ji Hantong was stunned, looking at the bamboo shadow mask in his hand, and then at the mask that was already covering Shen Lanchuan’s face.The mask covered the upper half of his face, revealing only his graceful lower jaw and thin lips. The pressing sense of aggression was somewhat covered up, but it added a bit of mystery and unpredictability. He actually had a strange beauty under the light.
“Okay.” Ji Hantong also put on the bamboo shadow mask.The cold mask stuck to his face, blocking part of his sight, leaving only the people in front of him and the colorful lights and shadows.
Ji Hantong shook his head, and there was only one sentence left in his mind –
Senior brother is so handsome.
After putting on the masks, the eyes on them were much less.Ji Hantong felt more at ease and became more and more interested in shopping.He bought two packs of freshly baked sugar cakes, gave one to Shen Lanchuan, and ate them while walking. The sugar cakes were sweet, soft, and fragrant.
When passing by a lively wine shop, the rich and mellow aroma of wine gently caught Ji Hantong’s footsteps like an invisible hand.His nose moved, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked straight into the wine shop.
“Senior brother, this wine tastes so good!” Ji Hantong’s eyes lit up, and he subconsciously licked the corners of his lips still stained with candy crumbs, “Shall we go try it?”
He said that he was going to go over there.
His wrist was gently held.
Shen Lanchuan’s palms were wide, and the warmth was transmitted through the thin sleeves with unquestionable strength.
“Junior brother, have you forgotten how much alcohol you can drink?”
Ji Hantong froze, and the memory of wine, which had been diluted by the candy and excitement, suddenly surged up.The cheeks under the mask instantly felt hot, and even the roots of his ears burned.
Yes, he, Ji Hantong, the majestic Yuheng Immortal of the Taixuan Taoist Sect, has profound cultivation and superb spells… but he has a fatal weakness – one cup.It’s not just ordinary drunkenness, it’s the kind that makes you go crazy with alcohol.
Especially, in front of someone.
Memories from hundreds of years ago rushed out uncontrollably.At that time, they were all still teenagers, and like most disciples, they still needed to attend the Taixuan Tao Sect’s major classes.
Because of the relationship between Master Daoxuan and Master Qinghe, apart from Shen Lanchuan, Ji Hantong was most familiar with Xin Xuezhen and others.
Master Daoxuan was traveling around all year round. At that time, Shen Lanchuan was already a leader among the new generation of disciples. He was cool and steady, and his cultivation was far superior to that of his peers. His master entrusted him with the responsibility of looking after and supervising Ji Hantong’s cultivation.
Xin Xuezhen is an alcoholic. His biggest hobby in life is tasting various fine wines and recommending fine wines to fellow students, and his biggest target is Ji Hantong.
However, Shen Lanchuan was strict in his management, and Ji Hantong did not dare to act arrogantly on weekdays.
Until one time, several acquaintances secretly brought the worldly wine “Drunken Immortal Drink” back from the mountain and hid it in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.
Young people are very curious and have a bit of rebellion that loves to break the rules.Taking advantage of the perfect moonlight, several people encouraged Ji Hantong, who was always the most obedient, to have a drink.
“Senior Brother Ji, just take a sip. This wine is fragrant. I guarantee you’ll want to drink it again!”
“That’s right, don’t always listen to Senior Brother Shen. We also have to have some fun of our own, right?”
Ji Hantong was indeed at a playful age at that time, and he felt itchy to be teased. The aroma of the wine was really tempting, so he boldly took a sip.When he first tasted it, it was just sweet, with a fruity aroma but not much spicy, so he took another sip without any worries.
Then…
Then the memory became a little broken and blurry.
I just remember that my body seemed to become light and airy, the bamboo forest was shaking, and the moon turned into several.The brothers seemed to be laughing and exclaiming.
Then, a familiar black figure with a cold look walked through the bamboo forest and walked in. It was Shen Lanchuan who noticed the movement and came to check.
