My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Sharing the same bed

“Anything else?”

“Let’s put on the lanterns.” Ji Hantong raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing a pair of eyes like autumn water, “I just saw that everyone else was putting on the lanterns, and I also want to put one on with my senior brother.”

Ji Hantong pulled Shen Lanchuan towards the river.At this moment, there are far fewer people putting out lanterns than before, and the lotus lanterns floating on the river have become sparse, and the little candles appear warmer in the night.

The stall owner selling lotus lanterns was about to close the stall when he saw the two approaching and greeted them warmly: “You two gentlemen, do you want to put out lanterns to make a wish? These are the last few, so it’s cheaper for you!”

“I want two,” Ji Hantong immediately agreed, and after thinking for a while, he added: “I want the two most beautiful ones!”

The stall owner handed over two lamps with a smile.The lamp petals are stacked on top of each other, and the wick is outlined with fine lines using gold threads. It shimmers under the candlelight, and it does look much more delicate than the others.

Just when Ji Hantong was about to pay, Shen Lanchuan had already handed over the money. The stall owner quickly handed over the lamp and pen and said with a smile: “Young men can write on the lamps and make wishes. The river lanterns during the Flower Festival are the most effective.”

The two nodded and walked to a bluestone step by the water and squatted down.

The gurgling river reflected the remaining lights on the shore and the sparse stars in the sky.

Ji Hantong carefully put his lotus lantern into the water and watched as it swayed and then steadily floated forward along the current.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and moved his lips slightly, as if he was reciting something silently.

Shen Lanchuan did not put the light on immediately.He turned his head and looked at Ji Hantong’s profile, which looked particularly pious and quiet in the hazy light and shadow. His long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyelids.

He didn’t know what his junior brother was wishing for, but at this moment, Ji Hantong had lost his usual nimbleness, cunning, coquettishness and cuteness in front of him, and had a rare calmness and gentleness.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Ji Hantong opened his eyes and turned to look at him: “Senior brother, why don’t you let go? Don’t you make a wish?”

Shen Lanchuan then looked away and slowly put the lotus lantern in his hand into the water.The two cyan lotus lanterns soon came close to each other, drifting side by side into the distance as the water swayed, gradually blending into the sea of ​​lanterns in front of them.

He did not put his hands together to make a wish, but quietly watched the two dependent lamps go away until they became two blurry points of light at the end of his field of vision.

“Senior brother, won’t you make a wish?” Ji Hantong asked curiously.

Shen Lanchuan stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Ji Hantong up, and patted the non-existent dust on his clothes.

“I promised.”

Shen Lanchuan naturally deceived Ji Hantong.He always only believed in himself. There was no need to resort to ghosts and gods for what he wanted, and what he wished for would come true with his own hands.

“Let’s go,” Shen Lanchuan held his hand, “I won’t rush tonight. I’ll find an inn in the city to rest for one night, and then return to the sect tomorrow.”

Ji Hantong naturally had no objection.After walking around for so long, he was indeed a little tired.

The two of them searched for several clean and spacious inns in the city, but the answers they received were similar.

“I’m sorry, sir, the shop is full.”

“I’m really sorry. During the Flower Festival these days, there are many guests coming from the surrounding towns. The rooms were booked three days ago.”

“There is no more available room. Why don’t you two go and ask somewhere else?”

After hitting the wall one after another, Ji Hantong was a little discouraged and said, “I didn’t expect it to be so lively and I couldn’t even find an empty room. How about we just go on our way?”

Shen Lanchuan’s expression was calm. He just looked at Ji Hantong’s tired look and frowned slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at the last family.

“Go to this house and ask. If there are no more vacancies, we will leave the city.” Shen Lanchuan said.

The two walked into the lobby.The shopkeeper behind the counter was busy making calculations. When he saw another person coming, he said without raising his head: “Would you rather stay in a hotel? If you want to stay in a hotel, the store will be full today. I’m really sorry.”

Ji Hantong didn’t give up and took a step forward: “Sir, are there really no vacant rooms? We only need one room, and an ordinary guest room will do.”

The shopkeeper then raised his head and glanced at the two of them. There was a hint of amazement in his eyes, but then he shook his head in embarrassment: “Sir, it’s really not the shop’s shirk. In the past few days, there are people willing to pay high prices to live in the woodshed, not to mention the houses, not to mention the houses.”

It seemed that there was really no chance. Ji Hantong was a little disappointed. When he was about to pull Shen Lanchuan away, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

“I happen to be checking out, why not give the room to the two young masters.”

Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan followed the sound and saw a person slowly walking down the stairs.The person who came here was wearing a black brocade robe made of exquisite materials. He was extremely handsome, and even had a sense of enchantment – his eyebrows were flying into his temples, his eyes were like peach blossoms, and his thin lips were curled up in a smile that was not a smile.

“I’m just about to check out,” the man in black robe walked closer and said to the shopkeeper, “Since these two young masters can’t find a place to stay, I will give them my room No. 3.”

The shopkeeper was stunned and said quickly: “Sir, didn’t you say you wanted to stay for two more days?”

“Suddenly, I remembered that I still have some important matters that need to be dealt with overnight, and I couldn’t help myself.” The man waved his hands in a casual tone, then turned to Ji Hantong and smiled slightly, “We are destined to meet each other, so you don’t have to be polite.”

Although Ji Hantong felt that this person’s temperament was a bit peculiar, it was a good thing to get a room to relieve his urgent needs, so he handed over his hand and said: “Thank you for your concession, young master.”

Shen Lanchuan also nodded slightly in thanks, but his eyes stayed on the man’s face for a moment longer, his eyes darkening slightly.

Although the shopkeeper was a little confused, he quickly checked in Ji Hantong and his wife and personally led them upstairs.Although Tianzi Room No. 3 is not first-class, it is spacious and clean. It faces the backyard and is very quiet.

After the shopkeeper left and the door closed, Ji Hantong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Lanchuan: “Brother, that person just now…”

“Don’t think too much,” Shen Lanchuan walked to the window and looked in the direction where the man disappeared. His voice was calm and calm, “Since you gave up the room, we can live here in peace.”

“Okay, I don’t want him anymore. I finally have a place to live.” Ji Hantong turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, “This room is not bad.”

Shen Lanchuan walked to him and looked out the window. Hearing this, a smile flashed in his eyes: “As long as you like it.”

Ji Hantong yawned, and there was a little water in the corner of his eyes. He looked at the bed in the room, and then at the soft couch next to it that was obviously for the night servants to rest, and hesitated for a moment.

“Senior brother, you can sleep on the bed, I can sleep on the soft couch.” Ji Hantong took the initiative.

After all, his senior brother usually took care of him, and the room was paid for by his senior brother. It didn’t matter that he almost slept this time, and the soft couch looked quite spacious and comfortable.

However, Shen Lanchuan had already walked to the bed and arranged the pillows and bedding on the outside. He didn’t look back when he heard the words: “The bed is big enough, just sleep together. You can’t sleep on the soft couch because it is so narrow.”

Ji Hantong opened his mouth, wondering why he couldn’t get used to sleeping, but seeing Shen Lanchuan’s natural behavior, he swallowed the words again.

It shouldn’t be a big deal if we sleep together, right?

In the past, when he was at Silver Moon Peak, he would occasionally stay late at his senior brother’s place, and would sleep on his senior brother’s bed if he didn’t want to go back. However, at that time, his senior brother would mostly go out to meditate or handle matters, and the two of them had never slept in the same bed.

Ji Hantong shook his head and put away the inexplicable distracting thoughts in his mind.Senior brother doesn’t mind, he can do whatever he wants.

“Then…okay.” Ji Hantong slowly moved to the bed, climbed on the inside, and wrapped himself in a soft quilt, leaving only his furry head exposed.

After Shen Lanchuan extinguished the extra lights in the room, he also got on the bed and lay down on the outside.

The bed is indeed spacious, and there is even room for another person to lie between the two of them.But Ji Hantong could still clearly feel the body temperature coming from beside him and the reassuring and refreshing breath of Shen Lanchuan.

The room fell completely silent.The sounds outside the window seemed far away, and only the gentle breathing of each other was particularly clear in the silence.

Ji Hantong closed his eyes, but was not sleepy at all.Scenes from the day were replayed in my mind like a lantern, and my heart seemed to feel faintly warm again.

He quietly opened his mouth a crack and secretly raised his eyes to look at Shen Lanchuan beside him.Under the hazy moonlight, Shen Lanchuan was lying next to him. He had clear outlines and a straight nose. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes. He seemed to have fallen asleep, with a calm and peaceful expression.

Ji Hantong looked at it, and the restlessness in his heart strangely calmed down.He breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, and tried to relax his body.

Just when Ji Hantong’s consciousness gradually blurred and he was about to fall into sleep, Shen Lanchuan beside him suddenly moved slightly.

Ji Hantong immediately woke up again and held his breath.

Shen Lanchuan turned over and faced him.The warm breath brushed against Ji Hantong’s forehead and cheeks, bringing with it a vague itching sensation.

Ji Hantong’s body was slightly stiff and he did not dare to move.

In the darkness, an arm was placed on his waist.

Ji Hantong’s heart skipped a beat, and his ears instantly burned.He exclaimed in a low voice, but did not dare to wake up Shen Lanchuan for fear of embarrassing the two of them. He quickly buried his face in the quilt, forcing himself not to think about the breathing and warmth so close at hand.

Maybe he was really tired, the chaotic thoughts gradually settled, and fatigue surged up like a tide.Ji Hantong’s breathing finally became even and long, and he fell into a deep sleep.

After confirming that the person next to him had fallen asleep, Shen Lanchuan slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

He looked at Ji Hantong’s sleeping face quietly.The moonlight shines on Ji Hantong’s fair face through the window screen. The junior brother in his sleep looks particularly well-behaved, with his long eyelashes falling quietly like butterfly wings, like an exquisite porcelain doll.

Shen Lanchuan’s eyes were heavy. He raised his hand, and his fingertips stopped just inches away from Ji Hantong’s cheek. He traced his delicate outline in the void, not daring to touch it.

After a long time, he retracted his hand and lay back down again, looking at the hazy shadow on the tent roof without closing his eyes for a long time.

You are simply asking for trouble.

A night of silence.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Hantong was woken up by the shouts from the market that gradually became noisy outside the window.

The sun shines through the window screens, casting bright spots on the floor of the room.He opened his eyes drowsily and found that he had rolled into the middle of the bed without knowing when, his cheek was pressed against a warm chest, and a familiar crisp breath lingered on the tip of his nose.And around his waist, an arm was loosely wrapped around him.

Ji Hantong woke up completely in an instant, raised his head suddenly, and met Shen Lanchuan’s dark eyes that had opened at some point.
