The days of recuperation were as peaceful as a beautiful dream.

Shen Yebai felt that Qin Moyu was a very magical person. After staying with such a boring person for a long time, he seemed to become more alive.

Qin Moyu always has some weird ideas, just like a bag of snacks with different flavors. You can never imagine what novel experience he can bring to you in the next second.

He would take Shen Yebai to the back mountain to catch fish, and he would stare at it for a long time, but after struggling for a long time, the fish fell into the river instead of catching him, and the fishing net he threw out finally caught him.

Shen Yebai watched Qin Moyu struggling in the fishing net on the shore, but the more he struggled, the more desperate he became. He laughed so much that tears came out. He was knocked down by Qin Moyu who was furious. In the end, the two of them were tied tightly together by the fishing net. Shen Yebai was still Ye Bai cut the fishing net and came out.

Qin Moyu was clearly the one who proposed to catch the fish, and it was Qin Moyu who failed to catch the fish, but in the end it was Shen Yebai who told stories for a week to coax Qin Moyu, who was so angry that he became a puffer fish.

Regarding Qin Moyu's occasional temper, Shen Yebai was helpless and funny, but he was happy with it.

The days passed like this, until that day Qin Moyu suddenly and mysteriously approached Shen Yebai and said slightly excitedly: "Yebai! Please do me a favor!"

Qin Moyu's hot breath hit Shen Yebai's ear, causing Shen Yebai's heart to skip a beat.

"Say." Shen Yebai forced himself to calm down and did not dare to look at Qin Moyu.

Qin Moyu didn't notice anything was wrong with him at all, and was still talking about his "big plan" with great interest.

It turned out that the old Taoist priest made a kind of pastry for Qin Moyu yesterday. Qin Moyu liked it so much that he ate it while reading a book. As a result, he accidentally overate it and felt uncomfortable.

After the old Taoist priest criticized this matter, he said that he had no sense of propriety for such a big man, and then ruthlessly took the pastry away without giving it to him.

There are some things that I find delicious if you feed them to me, but I want to eat them even more if you don’t feed them to me.

Thinking of yesterday's cakes, Qin Moyu smashed them in his mouth and encouraged Shen Yebai to steal the cakes with him.

"Don't worry, I'll give you half of what you stole." Qin Moyu patted his chest with loyalty.

Shen Yebai was not interested in pastries, but he couldn't let Qin Moyu lose his interest when he was so happy, so he agreed without hesitation.

Qin Moyu succeeded in recruiting people to join the team, cheered and hugged Shen Yebai excitedly.

"I love you so much! Ye Bai!"

Qin Moyu blurted out, completely unaware of the impact his hug had on Shen Yebai.

The moment he was hugged by Qin Moyu, Shen Yebai almost forgot to breathe.

Something is wrong.

Something is very wrong.

Shen Yebai's reason told him that he had fallen into a huge emotional fluctuation that he had never experienced before, but his mind became a ball of mush, and only Qin Moyu's hug remained in his mind.

He stood there stiffly like a puppet with its strings cut off. There was no reaction at all until Qin Moyu let him go.

"Ye Bai?" Qin Moyu waved his hand in front of him in confusion.

Shen Yebai reacted like he was waking up from a dream, but he didn't know where his reason was lost: "Ah? What, what's wrong?"

"I said, can you attract Master's attention later and then I can go around and steal the cakes?"

Qin Moyu patiently spoke again.

"Yeah." Shen Yebai was confused and agreed absently.

Qin Moyu glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything.

The plan went very smoothly. As soon as Shen Yebai walked outside the fence, the old Taoist priest who saw him chased him away with a stinky face and angrily walked up to Shen Yebai to warn him to stay away from Qin Moyu.

Shen Yebai didn't comment on the old Taoist priest's threat. He saw Qin Moyu gesture towards him from a distance, said a word and then turned around and left.

"I will not leave Mo Yu."

This sentence almost made the old Taoist angry to death.

Qin Moyu was very happy after stealing the pastries. In order not to be discovered by his master, he went to Shen Yebai's house to eat them.

You must know that although the old Taoist priest couldn't stand Qin Moyu's jokes and asked Shen Yebai to stay, he arranged Shen Yebai in the back mountain in order to be out of sight and out of mind.

"Master's pastries are really delicious." Qin Moyu took a bite of the pastries with a satisfied look on his face and said happily, "I will definitely find a Taoist monk who can cook in the future hehehe."

"Really?" Shen Yebai's heart moved, and he suddenly came up with the idea of ​​learning cooking.

"Yes, you are so good at cooking. You see, I have been learning for so long and I still can't learn it. Humph, it's all Master who is stingy. If he had given me more practice, I would definitely not be able to do anything now. Qin Moyu curled his lips.

If the old Taoist priest heard this, he would be so angry that he would beat Qin Moyu up.

Where the old Taoist priest is stingy, it is clear that every time Qin Moyu learns to cook, he blows up the kitchen once. No matter how he teaches, he cannot eat the food he makes, and he can cut all the vegetables. Who dares to let him practice this.

But Qin Moyu, who worked hard to portray himself as "very powerful" in front of Shen Yebai, took advantage of his master's absence and let the old Taoist take the blame without any psychological burden.

As the saying goes, never speak ill of someone behind their back.

As soon as Qin Moyu finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a bang.

"I was wondering why he suddenly came to me. When I went back, I saw that all the pastries were gone. The brat was still slandering me behind my back! See if I don't beat you up!" The old Taoist priest came as silently as a ghost. When he arrived at the door, his white beard was so angry that he came towards Qin Moyu menacingly.

"No! I've been discovered! Run quickly -" Qin Moyu jumped out of his wits, grabbed Shen Yebai with one hand and held the cake in the other, and rushed out of the back door.

"You brat! Don't run away!" the old Taoist priest shouted.

"Won't I run to you and beat you? You think I'm stupid!" Qin Moyu turned around and made a face at him, then went into the forest behind the mountain without looking back.

"Run, run!" Qin Moyu walked as fast as flying. Although Shen Yebai was pulled by him, he did not fall behind at all. He grew up in the back mountains and was most familiar with the terrain. He soon lost the old Taoist priest.

Qin Moyu turned around and couldn't see the old Taoist priest but was still worried. He ran out for a while before he stopped and said proudly:

"Hey, I knew Master couldn't catch me."

Shen Yebai smiled and noticed a leaf fell on Qin Moyu's head: "Don't move."

Qin Moyu didn't know why, but he was obedient and didn't move.

Shen Yebai took down the leaf. Qin Moyu scratched his face and said with a smile, "Thank you! Ye Bai!"

Qin Moyu's smile was as bright as when they first met, but this time Shen Yebai's mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Qin Moyu happily pulled Shen Yebai to sit on the stone and took out the pastries again.

"Mo Yu."

Shen Yebai suddenly called out to Qin Moyu.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Moyu tilted his head and looked at him with clear eyes.

Shen Yebai's throat tightened. He suppressed the inexplicable emotion and said, "I'm leaving."

"Ah?" Qin Moyu was so shocked by the sudden separation that the pastries dropped to the floor, "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"...There are some things that need to be dealt with. Now that the injury is almost healed, it's time to go back." Shen Yebai pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Qin Moyu was a little disappointed, but he braced himself and tried to smile: "It's okay, it's okay. If you have something to do, go ahead. I'll wait here until you finish it and come back!"

"Um."

Shen Yebai pretended not to see the loneliness in Qin Moyu's eyes, but he had to leave.

Shen Mo was urging him to complete the plan. If he didn't leave, he might cause trouble to Qin Moyu.

and……

When Qin Moyu couldn't see it, Shen Yebai gently put his hand on his chest, with only confusion in his eyes.

--What exactly is this.

…………

Shen Yebai's doubts at the beginning were just like Shen Mo's troubles now.

Shen Mo turned his head and stared blankly at Qin Moyu's side face.

His eyes slowly moved down and fell on Qin Moyu's white hands.

Quietly, quietly.

Shen Mo held his breath and gently placed his hand on the back of Qin Moyu's hand.

The feeling of skin touching made people's hearts tremble. Shen Mo's eyelashes cast a shadow, and his breathing became much softer.

It was an extremely noisy night street, but Shen Mo heard Qin Moyu's shallow and long breath hitting his heart.

Once, again, and again.

The question that no one could answer originally was answered after silence.

A wry smile appeared on Shen Mo's lips.

--what to do.

He raised his head and murmured in his heart:

I seem to have fallen in love with you too, Mo Yu.

…………

There was a leisurely tune at the end of the shadow puppet show. When it was sung, it was over. The children gathered around the stage chattering and tried to stand on tiptoes to see the shadow puppets. Qin Moyu slowly recovered from the shadow puppet show.

He felt Shen Mo's hand covering his, frowned and pulled his hand out.

"Thank you." Qin Moyu stood up and thanked Shen Mo for bringing the bench, politely but distantly.

Shen Mo felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

The shadow puppet show was over, but the night was still long. The two walked side by side, Qin Moyu stopped and stopped, and finally stopped in front of a sugar painting.

"Please draw something..." Qin Moyu paused, not thinking about what he wanted.

"Lotus." Shen Mo suddenly said, and added, "Can it be done with Lotus?"

The candy-painting man nodded honestly: "Okay, okay."

Qin Moyu was a little surprised that Shen Mo would also like this kind of thing, but he didn't think much about it. He wanted to wait until the candy man finished painting before talking about the sugar painting he wanted.

"Sir, the painting is done."

The candy painter handed the candy to Shen Mo. Shen Mo thanked him and paid the money, then turned around and handed the candy painting out.

"for you."

Shen Mo said.

The sugar paintings are strung on a bamboo stick, and the lotus flowers drawn with golden syrup are lifelike and attractive.

Qin Moyu looked at the sugar paintings and said, "Thank you."

The corners of Shen Mo's lips raised slightly, and he handed the candy painting forward a little more.

but.

"Eat it." Qin Moyu said calmly, then turned to the candy painter and asked for another candy painting.

Shen Mo's hand holding the bamboo stick gradually tightened. He couldn't say a word and could only silently take the sugar painting back.

"By the way, you can take this back." Qin Moyu suddenly remembered something and took out the things Shen Mo gave him during the day from his storage bag.

It was the paperweight sent by Shen Mo.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

Qin Moyu put the thing in the palm of his hand and handed it out.

"It's not valuable, and I said I gave it to you, so there's no reason to take it back." Shen Mo pursed his lips and resisted taking the paperweight back.

Qin Moyu looked at him persistently, with neither joy nor sadness in his eyes.

Shen Mo suddenly understood something.

——Did he return it because it was valuable, or because it was a gift from him?
