Chapter 2 Interweaving of Light and Shadow 3
I opened my mouth so wide in surprise that I could even fit an egg in it.
I never thought that the city where I have lived for so many years would have such a gorgeous crystal castle. I passed by here a month ago and it was still a wasteland !
As soon as the agreed time came, Ino drove to my door to pick me up. I still remember when I walked out of the door, he was dressed in a sunny and handsome outfit, different from his usual formal school uniform. He leaned against the car door and looked at me through his cool sunglasses. My shy look was reflected in the brown lenses.
Such a beautiful boy who seems to have walked out of a comic book is absolutely .
Roses seemed to bloom behind him, and the petals swayed in the breeze, surrounding Ino. He was like the perfect sun god Apollo, making me willing to turn into a sunflower just to be able to look up to him forever.
Sitting in Eno's car, I was dizzy with the glances from Eno all the way. When I came to my senses, I was standing in front of a dreamy crystal castle.
How could such a dreamy castle be built in less than a month? How did they create it?
The classical iron gate slowly opened, and a red carpet was laid on the endless lawn, leading to the castle gate. On both sides of the red carpet were rose columns, and purple silk was wrapped around the edges of the columns. Ino gentlemanly held my hand and walked on the red carpet. At this moment, I seemed to see a fairy casting a spell on me, and a white cloud rose from under my feet. The cloud dissipated, and I changed into a white wedding dress, and next to me was the prince who would accompany me for the rest of my life.
"Xiao Qian?" Ino tilted his head curiously, waved his hands in front of me, his eyes full of confusion.
"Ah?" I came to my senses and shook my head vigorously to get rid of the illusion in my mind.
Qian Xunrui, you are so shameful. You actually want to marry Ino!
"Why are you in a daze? Are you feeling unwell?" Ino asked with concern, and his warm palm naturally reached out to my forehead .
"No, no! I just think it's so beautiful here!" I smiled awkwardly and lowered my head blushing.
Wow, how embarrassing!
Looking at the reflection of my blushing face on the golden marble, I couldn't help swallowing. I must not accidentally drop sweat or saliva and dirty these priceless marbles!
The magnificent hall was filled with glittering crystal chandeliers. The European-style aristocratic decoration made me wonder if I was visiting a royal palace. What surprised me even more was that these beautiful glass curtain walls were actually anti-theft glass curtain walls that could see outside the house. From the outside, it was a crystal castle, and from the inside, we were like being protected by a magic air cover, and we were the prince and princess in the castle.
"Master Ino, we have prepared the barbecue. Master Quint and the others are waiting for you in the garden." A middle-aged man dressed as a butler said respectfully to Ino.
"Well, we'll be there soon. You all go back and don't disturb us." Ino said with a smile, pulling me towards the garden full of blooming flowers.
As soon as we arrived at the garden, I saw Youxi pulling Xi Ziqian desperately, while Xi Ziqian held on to the tree tightly like a koala and refused to let go.
"We agreed to have a barbecue, but you're hiding so far away. Do you want to wait until we finish grilling and then eat the ready-made food? Don't even think about it. Come over here and help me start the fire!" You Xi pulled Xi Ziqian hard and said unhappily.
"I... let's divide the work! I'll cut the fruit for you! I... I don't know how to make a fire." Xi Ziqian struggled as if holding on to a life-saving straw, stammering and quibbling, but she was unwilling to admit that she was afraid of fire.
"Hmph! The servants have already cut the fruit. You humans are cunning and just want to eat ready-made food." You Xi remained unyielding.
"You are the cunning one, stupid rabbit. Do you still want to play my game console? If you don't let me go, believe it or not, I will never lend it to you again?" Xi Ziqian growled while stretching out a hand to shake off Youxi's hand.
"If you don't lend it to me, I can steal it! Besides, I've already finished the game and I'm tired of playing it." You Xi said domineeringly, holding Xi Ziqian's waist even harder, trying to pull her off the tree trunk.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This Youxi is so rude. If he couldn't borrow something, he would just rob it. He is simply a robber!
"Hmph! I upgraded the system again, and that game is even more fun!" Xi Ziqian was not to be outdone. She put both her feet on the tree trunk and was completely "hanging" on it.
"Really?" Youxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he unconsciously let go of Xi Ziqian's hand.
"Of course!" Xi Ziqian took the opportunity to climb up a bit.
This is the first time I’ve seen Xi Ziqian look so funny!
"Are you here to help?" Quint narrowed his eyes and made a sinister sound beside the oven. He was like a cobra that had been watching for a long time. If you piss him off, he will swallow you in one bite.
"Hey, let me do it!" I said with a smile. Looking at the cold Quint with a face covered in charcoal ash, it was obvious that this young master didn't know how to make a fire.
"I knew Xiao Qian was the best. I'll come to help too." Hearing that, Ino happily followed me, rolled up his sleeves and put the charcoal into the oven.
Looking at Ino, who was as clingy as a husky, I smiled with relief.
He just has an indescribable charm. Whenever I am with him, I feel very comfortable and life becomes wonderful.
I carried the freshly baked chicken wings and barbecued meat and walked towards Ino, who I had sent to the side to play on the swing because he was always making things worse.
"Eat, young master!" I looked at Ino, who was reluctant and upset, and handed him a full plate of food.
"I don't want you to work hard, but you think I'm a burden." Ino took the plate, picked up the chicken wing and bit it hard, as if he was not biting the chicken wing, but me who was ungrateful.
"I know, but I don't want to tire you out!" I looked at Ino with a smile, sat on the swing next to me, and swung leisurely.
Before I knew it, it was dusk. The sun was setting, and the red sunset glow dyed the sky with a shy blush. It seemed that even the sky was blushing at the charm of Ino's handsomeness!
Hearing what I said, Ino smiled proudly and ate the barbecue happily.
"Here!" Youxi's awkward voice caught my attention. I turned around and saw Youxi, who was carrying a large plate of barbecue food, approaching Xi Ziqian, who was sitting at the dining table and gnawing on some fruit reluctantly.
"No." Xi Ziqian turned her face away without appreciation, but I saw a diamond-like glow in her eyes.
Xixi is the type who "wants to save face but suffers in vain". She is afraid of fire and dares not go over to barbecue, but she also doesn't want to be accused of being lazy and gluttonous by Youxi, so she can only stay away and sulk.
"Eat it! I accidentally baked too much and can't finish it. If it's wasted, I'll definitely get beaten up by Quint." You Xi said hesitantly, stuffing the plate on Xi Ziqian, and then sat down next to her attentively.
Xi Ziqian glanced at Youxi, then reluctantly picked up a skewer of barbecue and started eating: "I ate it to save you!"
"Then... can I play your game console?" Youxi smiled harmlessly, but you knew he wouldn't be so kind!
"Here!" Xi Ziqian handed the game console to Youxi.
Without saying a word, Youxi immediately took the game console and started playing excitedly.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "They are really a pair of happy enemies!"
"Really?" Ino also looked at the two people who were eating and playing happily not far away. His bright eyes gradually became empty, and a beautiful grassland seemed to emerge in front of him. On the grassland, herdsmen with wolf tails were grazing diligently, and everywhere was full of vitality.
"If I say we are all princes from a certain tribe, would you believe it?"
"Huh?" I looked at Ino curiously.
"In our world, there is no smoke of gunpowder, no massacre. I am the prince of the wolf tribe, Youxi is the prince of the rabbit tribe, and Quint is the prince of the snake tribe. As princes, we protect that land. Our subjects are friendly and harmonious, and they are even more respectful and loving to us. The air is always sweet, and even the clouds can be picked and eaten like marshmallows!" Ino's eyes were full of longing, as if he was the happiest at that time.
However, I still couldn't help sweating on my forehead.
Come on, this foodie even doesn’t let Baiyun go.
"If it weren't for human beings' insatiable greed, we wouldn't have become what we are now, neither human nor monster." Ino said with a frown.
"You're talking nonsense again." I couldn't help but flicked Ino's eyebrows. What a weird person. Did he have too many strange dreams ? He spoke in a neurotic way. "Although I don't know whether what you said is true or not, and although we haven't known each other for a long time, I love listening to you talk. I don't know why, every time I'm with you, I always feel relaxed and happy, as if there are only you and me in the world, no haze, only sunshine."
"Really?" Ino smiled and ruffled my hair lovingly, "I like being with Xiao Qian too!"
I suppressed the joy that welled up in my heart, made a playful face to Ino, and lowered my head shyly. Who allowed him to do such an intimate thing to me?
"Hmm..." Yinuo suddenly frowned and groaned, rubbing his temples with his slender fingers, "My head hurts a little, go and rest for a while, I'll take you home later!"
After saying that, Ino ignored me and staggered into the house.
"He says he is the prince of the wolf clan, but he wants to sleep after eating. He is just a pig!" I chuckled helplessly.
I have never seen such an easy-going wolf. He is at best a husky. However, these three beautiful boys full of mystery, are they from the wolf tribe? Rabbit tribe? Snake tribe? This is consistent with the character setting in the album. Are so many "coincidences" really just "coincidences"?
