Yin Yang Master (GL)

  After dinner, Du Sulin accompanied Xiao Qingzhu to the park.

  Fingers tightly clasped, yet speechless against each other, this is a clean and simple silence and existence.

  Du Sulin felt the warmth from Xiao Qingzhu's hand spreading through her own, and she involuntarily tightened her grip on his hand. The unique scent of Xiao Qingzhu enveloped her, making her inner heart as calm as a deep sea.

  She thought that in this life, although she had only lived for twenty years or so, having met Xiao Qingzhu, getting to know each other, falling in love, was truly enough. After falling in love comes being together. She also wanted to enjoy this happiness, but didn't know if the goddess of fortune would always be smiling upon her.

  She has no fear of grievances and evil spirits. If she is to spend her life with Xiao Qingzhu, the condition is that they must go through a battlefield together, then she would risk her life to fight on the battlefield.

  "Si Lin." Walking to the riverbank, Xiao Qingzhu stopped and turned around to face Du Si Lin.

  "Huh?" Du Sulin responded subconsciously, looking at Xiao Qingzhu who was only slightly shorter than herself. Those eyes were as gentle as spring water and as enchanting as autumn water, making it impossible for her to move her gaze away.

  "You seem to have something on your mind." Xiao Qingzhu smiled and said with her head lowered.

  In her heart, she sighed. She knew that some things, even if she asked, Du Shilin would not tell her. That was Du Shilin's way of loving her, shielding her from all the wind and rain, giving her everything good he could. But if she asked, maybe Du Shilin would say no, and then she would really remain silent forever.

  If one person truly loves another to the core of their heart, they will spare no effort to give that person the finest clothes, even if it means rummaging through every box and chest.

  "I..." Duslin paused, turned around, and faced Feiyun River, listening to the occasional sound of the river's tides. She spoke slowly: "It's not that I have any worries, it's just...I'm planning to go into seclusion the day after tomorrow."

  "Retreat?" Du Sulin's recent news of retreating, Xiao Qingzhu knew a bit about it. She was very sensitive to the word "retreat". She still remembered that when she and Du Sulin first met, he had retreated in order to save her and lost his eyesight as a result.

  Being able to meet Angelica and regain vision through a chance encounter is a good fortune that will never happen again.

  Feng once said that each of Du Shilin's retreats was either extremely safe or extremely dangerous.

  "Hmm." Duslin didn't know that her words had stirred up a huge wave in Xiao Qingzhu's heart. "You see, I only have one soul and one spirit. The Du family has a method to condense the soul and spirit, but for so many years, none of our ancestors have been like me, lacking a soul and spirit. This method has no precedent, perhaps I am his first experiment."

  "Si Lin, have you made up your mind?" Xiao Qingzhu suppressed the words of persuasion in her heart and only looked at her delicate profile, asking.

  "Qingzhu," Du Sulin's mouth curled up in a smile, somewhat self-deprecating, as if recalling the time he first met Xiao Qingzhu. "Deciding and not deciding are not things I can control. You see."

  Douslin turned his face away, but his eyes had turned a deep purple color, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

  Xiao Qingzhu was stunned, this was a gaze that Xiao Qingzhu had never seen before. Like a ferocious and untamed wild wolf, cold and ruthless, exuding a bloodthirsty desire. If one really wanted to say that there was any connection between these eyes and Du Siling, then it would be his usual clarity and purity.

  At this time, Du Sulin's fists were clenched, her eyebrows knotted into a dead knot, and after a while, her pupils turned into ink-like black again.

  "I've already become a zombie. Zombies feeding on blood is an unchangeable fact from ancient times to the present. The only difference is, I can control it." Du Sulin didn't look at Xiao Qingzhu, who was still stunned by her previous gaze, and turned around to continue speaking in a low voice: "In the past, I've been suppressing it, but I'm finding it harder and harder to suppress the zombie poison. I only have one soul and one spirit, and I won't be able to hold on for much longer. If I had a choice, I'd rather give up my spiritual powers and become an ordinary person, go to school, grow up, work, find someone I love, and live a stable life. Unfortunately, I don't have that choice."

  "Think about it." Xiao Qingzhu grasped Du Siling's somewhat trembling hand, turning her body around to face himself. The other hand stroked Du Siling's thin cheek. "No matter what, I'll be by your side to accompany you."

  Du Sulin smiled, raised his hand to grab Xiao Qingzhu's hand: "Sometimes even I think I'm very selfish. I can give you temporary peace of mind, protect you for a while, but I have no way to make a lifelong commitment to you. A person like me is so mediocre, yet still wants to keep you by my side."

  "If I don't want to stay, who can keep me by their side, fool?" Xiao Qingzhu took a small step forward and hugged Du Siling.

  Indeed, she was also somewhat at a loss in her heart. But no matter how much she was at a loss, there was an unshakeable conviction in her heart, that is, even if Du Sulin became a zombie, even if her eyes were bloodthirsty and ruthless, she was still Du Sulin. In the ruthlessness, there was still a clear and transparent part. In her heart, there must be three words: Xiao Qingzhu.

  "Shall we go watch the sunrise?" Xiao Qingzhu asked.

  "Good." Du Sulin nodded. If being locked up meant death to her, then she wouldn't miss a single second with Xiao Qingzhu before that happened.

  A person's life is often dominated by the word "regret", with remorse as its endpoint. Du Sulin is not a saint, and there are also regrettable things in her life, but she doesn't want to spend all her time on regrets. Instead of regretting why she didn't make up for past regrets or why she didn't cherish things well at the time, it's better to cherish the present and the people around her.

  When they got back home and shared their idea of watching the sunrise, it attracted a lot of followers.

  Jingji put his hands on his hips and said: "I'm talking about the sunrise, only you two are allowed to watch it together, not me and Fangfeng, not Huanxi and Seventeen, not Dan Ci and Dan Dan, and not Haozi and Lele."

  At first, the pairing of the chrysanthemum was still very reasonable, but later on, it actually paired Ding Yile and Cheng Zihao together, who had come to freeload, which was really laughable. The lively and active Ding Yile's face turned red with excitement, jumping up and down anxiously. Chu Feng has been secretly going over there ever since he found out about Xi Yue's reincarnation, so he wasn't at home tonight.

  Finally, Du Sulin shrugged and raised his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

  While others were enthusiastically discussing plans, Du Sulin quietly pulled Fang Feng to one side and said in a low voice: "Fang Feng, your wife has become more and more overbearing because of you..."

  I thought Fang Feng would nod in agreement, but unexpectedly he just smiled dryly and said: "You've already said that Jing Ji is my insider, so if I don't spoil her, who will I spoil? You're also spoiling Qing Zhu, aren't you?"

  "Fengfeng sister said it well, I, a pure man, admire her!" Ding Yile suddenly jumped out and loudly shouted at Fengfeng with a fist.

  "Where are you a pure man?" Jing Jie floated over from a distance, "Little hairy kid, hair not even grown yet."

  Then there was the lively scene of Jingji being chased by Lele, running around in all directions, with Xiaodan trotting along with his round belly, shouting in his childish voice.

  It wasn't until dawn when the nine people and a dog set off in high spirits to watch the sunrise.

  ……

  Square Mountain

  This mountain is extremely high and is the best place to watch the sunrise in this city. Photography enthusiasts often stay here overnight just to take a perfect photo of the sunrise.

  There are two ways to climb this mountain. There is a rock wall road specially set up for climbers. Nature also has a winding highway that leads directly to the top of the mountain.

  Pan Mountain Highway, as the name suggests, winds its way up around Fangshan Mountain, circling round and round. From a distance, it looks like an upside-down chocolate cone that's just been made.

  Du Sulin and his group, with the elderly over 300 years old and the youngest less than a month old, naturally chose the convenient and fast ring mountain highway.

  When we reached the top of the mountain, the sky was still pitch black.

  Looking up at the ink-like sky, stretching out one's hand as if to pluck the stars and snatch the moon.

  The exceptionally fresh air makes people feel refreshed and invigorated.

  "No wonder the ancients said that to cultivate immortality and practice Taoism, one must be in the mountains. With such good air quality, taking a breath makes me feel like I'm about to fly!" Ding Yile exclaimed excitedly.

  He thought that maybe this was the most meaningful thing he had done in all these years, staying up all night not to play games with friends or drink and eat.

  He stretched out his arms, as if to embrace the entire night sky. Looking around, he saw that the wrens' nests were still in the sheltered corners, with a faint flush on their faces.

  Ding Yile was stunned, he had never seen Jing Jie look so obedient and well-behaved before, she was always so unruly and lively. Suddenly a thought rose up in his heart, only Feng could give Jing Jie the happiness she wanted.

  "Silly kid, what are you thinking?" Cheng Zihao said with his signature sly smile as he walked up to Ding Yile.

  So many people, except for him and Ding Yile, were all in pairs, so he had no choice but to really do as Jing Jie said, and first form a duo with Ding Yile, experiencing the world of two. Of course, temporarily. He added a sentence in his heart.

  "Ah, to have someone who understands you, to grow old together without parting ways... Although they're all women, the bond between them is truly enviable!" Ding Yile exclaimed sincerely.

  "Hmm," Cheng Zihao also had a rare serious expression, "Before, I couldn't understand why women could be with women, how women and women together could have happiness? But after getting to know them, I suddenly realized just how wrong I was. Two people being together, caring for each other, warming each other up, has nothing to do with gender."

  "So you used to have such outdated ideas......" Ding Yile said disdainfully after hearing Cheng Zihao's words. What he didn't say was that his previous ideas were not much different from Cheng Zihao's.

  "Look, it's getting light!" Jing Jiawo exclaimed excitedly in Feng's arms, suddenly pointing east.

  Yes, the sky is gradually brightening. The eastern horizon gradually reveals an orange-yellow color, and in the dark clouds, the weak light seems to be covered by the clouds, slowly strengthening. There are golden lights in the orange color.

  Suddenly, the light shot up like an eagle, driving away clouds and mist, with golden light shining in all directions, magnificent.

  The mountain top was chilly, Du Si Lin pulled Xiao Qing Zhu closer to him.

  Xiao Qingzhu's hand stroked Du Siling's chest, feeling the slow but powerful beating of his heart. She said: "You see, there is no eternal dark night sky, the sun will always rise, bringing vigorous vitality. Silin, has the sun of life risen in your heart?"

  At this moment, how could Du Sulin still not understand Xiao Qingzhu's intention of wanting to watch the sunrise?

  She suppressed her inner emotions and nodded heavily at Xiao Qingzhu.
