The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 56

When Mo Ran was asked like this, his expression was somewhat stunned.

Do I miss him?

Although the grudges in his previous life were deep and could not be resolved, in this life Chu Wanning had never done anything wrong to him. Instead, he had protected him in adversity time and time again, causing him to fall ill.

After a while, he slowly said, “Well … … he was injured several times, all because of me … …”

When Chu Wanning heard him say this, he felt warmth in his heart. Just as he was about to say something to Mo Ran, he heard him say the second half of the sentence.

“This kindness is too heavy. I only hope to help him get better quickly. I don’t want to owe him too much.”

The warm feeling in his heart seemed to have died. It was motionless and condensed into ice.

Chu Wanning froze for a while before he felt that he was very ridiculous.

Mo Ran had already said that it was only the relationship between master and disciple. It was him who had thrown himself into the fire because of a little bit of hope. In the end, he could not blame others for burning into ashes.

Chu Wanning smiled. That smile must have been very ugly. She had been snubbed.

“Don’t think too much. Since you are his disciple, you don’t owe him anything. Everything was done willingly by him. ”

Mo Ran turned his eyes to look at him, “You, at such a young age, always speak like an adult with a straight face.” As he said this, he smiled and rubbed his head.

Chu Wanning was rubbed by him. At first, he was still smiling. Later, a layer of water slowly appeared in his eyes. He looked at the bright young face in front of him and said softly, “Mo Ran, I don’t want to play with you anymore. Let go.”

Mo Ran’s brain was too thick. He did not notice the change in his expression. What’s more, he was used to joking around with “Xia Si Ni”. Therefore, he still pinched Chu Wanning’s smooth cheeks like he was teasing a child. He gently pulled the corner of his mouth and made a funny face.

“Pfft, why is Little Shidi angry again?”

Chu Wanning looked at the childish child in the other party’s eyes. The smile on the other party’s face was so ugly, like a sad and funny monster.

“Let go.”

He didn’t notice it and teased him as usual, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry. I won’t say you’re like an adult in the future, okay? Come, let’s make up. Call me Senior Brother ~ ”

“Let go of me …”

“Be good, call me Senior Brother, and I’ll buy you some osmanthus cake later.”

Chu Wanning closed his eyes. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice finally became a little hoarse.

“Mo Ran, I’m not joking. I really don’t want to play with you anymore. Let go of me, let go of me, okay?” His slender eyebrows furrowed. Because his eyes were closed, he did not cry, but his throat was choked with sobs. “Mo Ran, it hurts …”

It was too painful. There was only one person in his heart. He carefully hid her in the deepest part of his heart. It was fine if she didn’t like him. As long as he could silently think of her and protect her, it was fine even if he couldn’t get her.

However, all of that person’s softness was for others. All that was left for him was a body full of thorns. He held her in his heart. Whenever that person moved, his heart would bleed profusely. Day by day, the old scars had not healed, and new wounds would appear.

Thus, he knew that even if he did not ask for her, as long as she was still in his heart, he would be in pain.

He did not know how long he could hold on in this kind of pain. He did not know when he would break down.

Mo Ran finally realized that something was wrong. He let go of his hand in a panic and touched his slightly red face. He was flustered and did not know what to do. Chu Wanning suddenly felt that it was actually good to be smaller.

At least he could say that it hurt without any hesitation and show that he was softened.

At least he could make him look at him with concern.

That was something he did not even dare to think about.

In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve came. This was the most lively and leisurely time of the year at the Peak of Life and Death. All the disciples pasted peach talismans and swept the snow. The chef at the Meng Po Lobby was busy from morning to night, preparing for the year-end feast. Each of the elders also used their own spells to add to the festive atmosphere. For example, Elder Tanlang enchanted a pool of spring water into fine wine. Elder Xuanji released more than three thousand firelight mice that he had tamed and had them stand guard at various places in the sect to keep everyone warm. Elder Lucun cast a spell on the snowmen that everyone had made. He had them squeak and run all over the mountain, shouting “Happy New Year” whenever they met someone.

No one expected Elder Yu Heng to do anything. In fact, Yu Heng was still in seclusion. For a long time, he had not appeared in front of anyone.

Only Xue Meng stood by the window and looked up at the begonia petals that were fluttering down from the sky. He said thoughtfully, “After today, we will have to leave. It seems that we will not be able to see him before we leave. … I wonder what Shizun is doing right now? ”

“Of course he is cultivating.” Mo Ran bit an apple and said vaguely, “Speaking of which, all the elders have to perform tonight. What a pity. If Shizun was here, he would have to go too. I wonder what he will perform. ”

After saying that, he laughed first. “Probably how to ‘get angry’?”

Xue Meng stared at him. “Why don’t you perform how to ‘beat Mo Weiyu to death’?”

During the New Year, Mo Ran was not angry at Xue Meng’s harsh joke. He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, did you see Shidi today?”

“You mean Xia Sini?” Xue Meng said, “I didn’t see him. He is Xuanji’s disciple and hangs out with us every day. Xuanji doesn’t care anymore. If he hangs out with us during the New Year, his master will be angry.”

Mo Ran laughed and said, “That’s true.”

The sun was setting in the Red Lotus Pavilion.

Chu Wanning held a pill and looked at it carefully. Xue Zhengyong sat opposite him. Chu Wanning did not invite him to tea, so he filled a pot for himself and ate a pastry from Chu Wanning’s plate.

Chu Wanning glared at him, but he did not notice. Instead, he chewed on the pastry and said, “Yuheng, don’t look at me like that. Tanlang’s mouth is poisonous, but he is not a bad person. How could he hurt you? ”

“… What are you thinking, Lord?” Chu Wanning said lightly, “I was just thinking, since Elder Tanlang spent so much effort to create a pill that can let me regain my human form for a day, why didn’t he just make a few more? If he needs them, he can just take them. ”

“Ah, it’s not that easy.” Xue Zhengyong said, “The ingredients needed for this pill are very rare. He only made three pills before using them. It’s not a long-term solution. ”

“I see.” Chu Wanning said, “I see. Thank you.”

“Haha.” Xue Zhengyong waved his hand. “The two of you are actually quite similar. You both say bad things, but your hearts are not bad.”

Chu Wan-ning glanced at him but didn’t say anything. She poured herself a cup of tea and swallowed the medicinal pill that would allow her to return to her former appearance.

Xue Zhengyong was about to eat another piece of pastry, but Chu Wanning stopped him.

“What?” The Lord was dissatisfied.

Chu Wanning said, “It’s mine.”

Xue Zhengyong, “…”

As night fell, the disciples of the Life and Death Summit arrived at the Meng Po Lobby one after another. Every Elder brought their disciples to sit together. Bread, dumplings, snowmen, and firelight mice shuttled through the crowd, helping them pass salt jars, chili powder, chopped green onions, and other miscellaneous items.

Every table was bustling with noise and laughter. Only Elder Yuheng’s table had all his disciples, but his master was absent.

Xue Meng looked to the side and sighed. “I miss Shizun.”

Shi Mei said warmly, “Didn’t Shizun write a letter a few days ago, telling us to enjoy the holidays and cultivate diligently in the Peach Blossom Spring. When he comes out of seclusion, he will come and see us, right?”

“That’s true, but when will he come out of seclusion …?”

Just as he was sighing, he glanced listlessly at the entrance hall. Suddenly, he froze and sat up straight. Like a cat, he opened his eyes wide and looked toward the entrance of the Meng Po Lobby.

Xue Meng’s face was flushed red, and his eyes were bright. He was so excited that he stuttered, “Yes … yes … yes …”

Mo Ran thought that one of the rare beasts raised by Elder Xuanji had come out to add to the fun. He felt that Xue Meng’s knowledge was shallow and he was making a fuss over nothing. He could not help but laugh. “What’s there to be surprised about? Look at you, it’s like you’ve seen a deity. What’s there to be surprised about? ”

He turned his head with a grin and looked up casually.

He could not say the word ‘strange’ no matter what.

Outside the open entrance of the lobby, Chu Wanning was wearing a white robe and a bright red cloak. He elegantly put away his oil-paper umbrella and shook off the snow. Then, his eyelashes rolled up, revealing a pair of sharp and slender eyes. He glanced at them indifferently.

When Mo Ran noticed it, he found that his heart was beating faster, his palms were sweating, and even his breathing had slowed down.

The Meng Po Lobby gradually quieted down. When Chu Wanning appeared in the Meng Po Lobby, the disciples did not dare to make a ruckus. Moreover, he had been in seclusion for a long time. Now that he appeared in the middle of the snowy night of New Year’s Eve, the frost and snow made his face look even more handsome, and the space between his eyebrows even darker.

Mo Ran stood up and murmured, “Shizun …”

Xue Meng suddenly stood up and ran toward Chu Wanning like a kitten. He shouted, “Shizun!” as he dove into Chu Wanning’s arms.

Chu Wanning’s clothes were soaked in the snow and were extremely cold. But looking at Xue Meng’s expression, it was as if he was hugging peach blossoms in March or charcoal in October. It was unbearably warm. He kept shouting, “Shizun, you’ve finally come out. I thought I couldn’t see you before I left. You really do love us. Shizun, shizun …”

Shi Mei also went over and bowed respectfully. His face was full of joy. “Welcome, Shizun, you’ve come out of seclusion.”

Chu Wanning patted Xue Meng’s head and nodded at Shi Mei. “I’ve come a bit late. Let’s go. I’ll stay up late with you.”

He sat at the table next to Xue Meng and across from Mo Ran.

After the initial excitement and joy when Chu Wanning arrived, everyone returned to their old habits and sat upright like their shizun. The table was eerily quiet.

In the middle of the table were flour, meat, eggs, and other ingredients. There was also a brand new copper coin.

Mo Ran was the best cook among them, so everyone decided to let him take command.

“Then, I’ll accept.” Mo Ran smiled. “Do you know how to roll the dough?”

No one made a sound.

“… Okay, I’ll roll the dough.” Mo Ran said, “Shi Mei, your wontons are the best. There’s no difference between the stuffing of the dumplings. You can mix the stuffing.”

Shi Mei hesitated for a moment and said, “This … there are some differences. I’m afraid I can’t do it well.”

Chu Wanning said lightly, “It’s fine as long as it’s edible. Don’t worry too much.”

Shi Mei smiled. “Alright then.”

“Xue Meng, you just have to help pass them some water or roll up their sleeves. Just don’t be a hindrance. ”

Xue Meng: “…”

“As for Shizun,” Mo Ran said with a smile, “Would Shizun like to sit and drink some tea?”

Chu Wanning said coldly, “I’m making dumplings.”

“Ah?” Mo Ran was shocked, thinking that he had gone deaf. “What are you going to do?”

“I said, I’ll make dumplings.”

Mo Ran: “…”

All of a sudden, he wished that he was deaf.
