"Xufeng."

Xufeng paused. The next moment, he turned his head back in a panic.

He saw Run Yu, dressed in white, smiling at him under the bright peach blossoms …

"Xufeng."

Seeing that Xufeng was still in a daze, Run Yu gently called him again.

A tear rolled down Xufeng's cheek. He stretched out a hand, wanting to touch the person he had been thinking about day and night, but there was still some distance.

As if he was being led by someone, he slowly moved forward step by step until his hand touched the person's face. It was soft and warm, no longer the illusory touch in his dreams.

"Yu'er, is it really … you?" Xufeng's voice trembled.

Run Yu's eyes filled with tears: "Yes, I'm back."

"Yu'er … Yu'er …" Xufeng's tears rolled down, and he hugged Run Yu tightly. That strength seemed to embed him into his body.

Run Yu also raised his arms and hugged Xufeng's back, tears rolling down his cheeks.

The two of them hugged and cried for a long time before gradually stopping.

When they separated a little, they found that both of them were like cats with dirty faces. Their tears turned into laughter at the same time.

Suddenly, Xufeng seemed to think of something: "Are you hungry?

I'll make something for you to eat. "As he spoke, he was about to let go of Run Yu and go to the kitchen.

"I'm not hungry." Run Yu pulled him, "Let's sit down and talk.

Don't you have anything to ask me? "

Xufeng reacted and quickly pulled him to sit down on the stone bench, but he didn't want to sit. He stood next to Run Yu, still holding him tightly in his arms, "Then tell me, where have you been all these years?"

With a helpless smile, Run Yu replied, "I can't see your face, so I can't speak." As he spoke, he patted Xufeng's arm and continued, "Don't worry, I won't leave.

“

Xufeng hesitantly let go of him and sat down on the stone bench next to him. However, he still held onto his hand and was unwilling to let go. "You can speak now."

Run Yu nodded and said, "Actually, I've always been by your side."

Xufeng widened his eyes.

"At that time, I had just formed my soul and was moving purely on instinct. After circling in the air for a long time, I didn't know where to go. Then, I sensed my aura in an item in your hand, so I dove into it."

"This is … your reverse scale?"

"Yes.

For the past hundred years, I've been inside the reverse scale. "

"But why didn't I notice it?"

"You should have fainted by then.

The reverse scale has my aura, and my soul was weak at the beginning, so it's normal that you couldn't sense it.

Later on, the power of my soul gradually grew stronger, but by then, you might have already gotten used to it. "

"After all these years, I actually didn't think of using my spiritual energy to probe the dragon scale, I really …"

Xufeng hit his head hard, and then his hand was grabbed by Run Yu.

"It's not your fault.

You used up all your spiritual energy for me, and in the first few decades, you couldn't even go to the Heaven Realm. You were no different from a mortal, so how could you have the strength to probe the things around you?

Besides, you probably thought that I had gone to a faraway place, but you didn't know that I was always by your side. "

"You … know everything?"

Run Yu smiled and said, "Yes, who told you to be so long-winded."

Xufeng's mouth twitched, showing a bit of embarrassment, but after a moment, his eyes dimmed and turned red. "Yu 'er, I'm sorry, I … made you suffer so much, because of me …"

"Because you forgot about me." Run Yu stroked his cheek, with an indescribable complicated expression on his face. "I heard everything, I … don't blame you."

Xufeng felt tears rushing out of his eyes again, and hurriedly hugged Run Yu tightly, choking with sobs. "Yu 'er, I'll never leave you again. In the future, wherever you go, I'll go. I'll protect you well, and I won't let you suffer any harm, okay?"

Run Yu patted his back. "Okay."

After hugging for a while, Xufeng asked carefully, "Then, why didn't you come out to see me?"

"I've been sleeping, cultivating while sleeping. I've been sleeping for many years, and only recently regained some consciousness, but I couldn't break the seal you put on me."

"Seal?"

Xufeng just remembered that back then, he was afraid that Run Yu's remnant soul would overflow, so he added another seal on the reverse scale, but he didn't expect …

"Then how did you … Could it be, it's my blood?"

Run Yu smiled and nodded. "As soon as I felt the seal weaken, I immediately came out to see you."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is … I actually have to thank Mo Chen for beating me up, haha …"

Xufeng cried and laughed at the same time, while Run Yu quietly looked at him foolishly.

After a while, Xufeng stopped laughing, and pressed his forehead against Run Yu's, saying softly, "Yu 'er, no matter what, I finally see you again. From now on, let's never be separated again, okay?"

"Okay."

The two of them held hands and looked at each other, sitting for a while. Even if they didn't say a word, Xufeng was satisfied.

After that, Xufeng held Run Yu's hand and looked around the courtyard.

This was built brick by brick when he had lost all of his spiritual power. At that time, he was filled with bitterness, but now, when he recalled it, he was filled with joy and sweetness. Because Runyu had returned to his side, this would be their home in the future.

Their house was built halfway up the mountain. The courtyard was much smaller, and the floor tiles were gray instead of white. The rest of the house was built in the style of the Xuanji Palace, with ancient trees, stone tables, rockery, flower beds, and so on.

Outside the courtyard was a mountain path, and on the other side of the path was the outside of the mountain. At this time, it was almost dusk, and looking into the distance, the bamboo forest was like a sea, and the fog was dense, like a paradise on earth.

Along the path, a hundred steps up, there was a mountain stream. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and it converged into a small stream, flowing behind their house.

At the top of the mountain was a rather large lake, and there was a kind of fish in the lake that was very delicious when boiled into soup.

Run Yu looked around and listened to Xufeng's cheerful words, occasionally smiling. In Xufeng's eyes, there was no better praise than this.

When they returned to the courtyard, Run Yu found that there was a plaque hanging on the door of the courtyard. On the plaque, there were three words written in white: Dream Compensation Mosque.

"What do you mean?" Run Yu asked.

"My wish came true, and my dream came true."

Xufeng held his hand tightly, his eyes full of affection. "My dream came true, and I held your hand and looked at the lanterns."

After looking inside and outside the courtyard, they went to look inside the house.

Xufeng held Run Yu's hand and walked through the house one by one. Compared to the heavenly realm, the house was naturally much smaller, but although it was small, it had all the essentials, was compact, and was very clean.

Finally, they looked at the bedroom. Run Yu sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then suddenly walked to the side of the room.

There was a shrine platform inside, and there were two memorial tablets, one big and one small. The shrine platform was spotless, and it was clear that someone cleaned it every day.

Run Yu took the small memorial tablet and gently stroked it with his sleeve.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind him and covered his hand, holding the memorial tablet with him.

"As soon as my spiritual strength recovered, I went to the Jade Pearl Palace and brought mother and Carp back. Are you angry?" Xufeng asked.

Run Yu smiled at him, shook his head, and then put the memorial tablet back on the shrine platform.

He took three sticks of incense and lit them. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed three times. Xufeng also rose and fell with him.

After a hundred years, this was the first time they paid their respects to their only child together.

After the two of them stood up, Xu Feng held Run Yu's right hand and put a string of blue spiritual pearls on his hand, saying: "This string of Mermaid's Tears, you … dropped it when you left. It fell into the River of Forgetfulness. I searched for a long time before I found it.

Now, I have returned it to its rightful owner. "

After Xufeng finished speaking, he took out another string of spirit beads. This one was transparent and the beads were smaller than the mermaid tears.

Run Yu's eyes reddened as he saw it. Without waiting for Xufeng to speak, he took it and held it in his hand, gently stroking it.

Xufeng didn't speak again. He only quietly embraced him and stood in front of the shrine platform until the skies outside were completely dark.

After a long time, Run Yu gently pushed Xufeng away. "I'm hungry. Didn't you say you were going to cook something for me to eat?"

"Alright. Then wait for me for a moment. I'll be done soon."

"Mm."

After Xufeng left, Run Yu turned to the shrine platform and took the memorial tablet.

"Carp, mother is back."

Two lines of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks, dripping onto the memorial tablet.

A moment later, Xufeng's voice echoed from outside. The meal was ready.

Run Yu wiped away his tears and slowly walked out.

The candles on the table had already been lit. Next to the candles were two bowls of noodle soup with a poached egg on each side. Let alone vegetables, there wasn't even any chopped green onions.

Xufeng said with some embarrassment, "I just came back from the North Sea. The other ingredients in the kitchen are all rotten. There are only two eggs left."

"It's fine." Run Yu smiled at him. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat the noodles.

Just as he took a bite, another egg appeared in his bowl. It was Xufeng who had taken the egg from his bowl.

Seeing Run Yu look at him, Xufeng smiled and said, "I ate late at noon, so I'm not hungry right now.

Tomorrow, I'll go to town and buy some delicious food so I can make you a big meal.

There's also your favorite peanut soup. I'll buy it tomorrow so you can try it. It's the same as last time. "

Runyu nodded and began to eat again without saying a word.

Xufeng looked at him for a while and then lowered his head.

"I'm done eating. I'm going to take a walk in the yard. You take your time."

Xufeng raised his head from the bowl and nodded at Run Yu. Run Yu smiled and went out.

Xufeng's eyes followed him to the door and then turned back. But when his eyes fell on the bowl, he was stunned.

The noodles in the bowl had been eaten up, leaving only a poached egg at the bottom of the bowl.

It was the egg he had just given him.

Xufeng looked at it for a long time, then picked it up and ate it silently.

When it was time to sleep, Run Yu had already laid down. When he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he felt that he was gently pushed and a voice said, "Move a little inside."

Run Yu was stunned for a moment and then moved inside.

The quilt was lifted and Xufeng crawled in. Run Yu reacted and his whole body stiffened.

Xufeng didn't seem to notice. He took him into his arms and held him tightly. He let him rest on his arm and then said, "Sleep."

But Runyu couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He remained motionless for two to four hours. Run Yu couldn't help but move a little. Then he heard Xufeng say in his ear, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Run Yu raised his head slightly and looked into Xufeng's black eyes. He didn't know how to answer. After a long time, he asked, "Aren't you also awake?"

"Yes." Xufeng looked at him and said softly, "I don't dare to sleep. I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, you'll disappear."

Run Yu's heart suddenly felt sour. He fumbled for Xufeng's other hand and held it. "This way, I'm not afraid."

"Yes."
