Lin Qingyang had been bored in the Demon King's Palace for so many days. It was a rare opportunity to come out. He took the opportunity to stroll outside for a long time and purchased a lot of specialties from the Demon Clan, intending to take them back as gifts.
It wasn't until the sky darkened that I returned to the Demon King's Palace with my bags in hand. Rows of red lanterns in the palace had been lit up, making it look very festive and lively. Even the Blue Wind Palace had red lanterns hanging.
The Cangfeng Palace was dark. When Lin Qingyang walked into the palace, the crystal stones on the wall lit up, and then a series of stones next to them also lit up.
There was no one in the hall. Cang Mo was busy these days and was often absent from the hall. Lin Qingyang didn't care. He put down his things and poured himself tea. As he was drinking, he turned around and noticed that there was a small black box on the desk. It was the one that he had not opened before and was electrocuted.
Why is this box here? Could it be that Cang Mo forgot to put it away? Lin Qingyang put down the tea cup and walked to the table to take a look. Her curiosity was instantly aroused. The boy forgot to put it away. Could it be that he also forgot to lock it?
Lin Qingyang thought for a while, couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and carefully tried to open it. Unexpectedly, the box actually opened a crack, and it was really unlocked! Lin Qingyang's eyes lit up, and he was about to open it, but then he paused and closed his hand. After all, this was his privacy. He and Cang Mo were not very close now. Isn't it bad for him to peek in like this?
Lin Qingyang hesitated for two seconds and finally came to the conclusion: he didn't know anyway.
Then he glanced at the door, and after making sure no one was there, he gently opened the box, but when he saw the contents of the box clearly, his expression was stunned.
Inside the box was a demon-locking ring, a black leather buckle with a red gem inlaid in the middle. This was the fake demon-locking ring that I had given him. He picked it up and looked at it with some hesitation. Small scratches could still be seen on the leather surface. After all these years, he still had this thing?
Lin Qingyang stared at it blankly, her mind a little confused. Why did he still keep this? And kept it so carefully? Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little panicked, and quickly put the demon lock ring back and closed the lid.
He returned to the dining table and continued to drink tea, as if nothing had happened just now, muttering to himself that he was just nostalgic, right? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Cang Mo coming in from outside carrying dinner.
"We're back, it's time to have dinner." Cang Mo saw him and smiled warmly. He walked up and put the dinner on the table, but his eyes secretly glanced at the box on the desk.
Lin Qingyang smiled and nodded, with a guilty look in his eyes. Cang Mo took out the dishes one by one as usual and filled him with soup.
"Try it and see." Cang Mo said softly.
Lin Qingyang smiled, picked up the spoon and took a sip. The taste was fresh and rich, like chicken soup but sweeter than chicken soup. However, the taste seemed a bit familiar. After thinking about it, he said, "Is this... made by a spiritual bird?"
"You still remember." Cang Mo smiled.
"Of course I remember. You were caught secretly in the back mountain, but I discovered it later, and we went together..." Lin Qingyang was talking, when he suddenly looked into Cang Mo's deep eyes, and the words in his mouth stopped.
Cang Mo looked at him, smiled and said, "Then we stewed it together. That was our first time eating together."
Lin Qingyang paused, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he half-jokingly said, "That spirit bird is indeed delicious, but it's a pity that Jin Buhuan didn't have a chance to catch it again because he didn't care much about it."
"I asked someone to raise some in the palace. If you like it, I can make it for you more often." Cang Mo said softly.
Lin Qingyang glanced at him, wondering why the words sounded more and more wrong. He lowered his head to drink the soup without answering. While he was drinking, another peeled shrimp was placed on the plate next to him. Lin Qingyang ate it as usual. After eating, he realized that this didn't seem right.
"I can do that myself." Lin Qingyang said a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome, didn't we always eat like this before?" Cang Mo said while peeling the shrimp.
Lin Qingyang took a deep breath, decided to change the topic and said, "By the way, I just have something to give you."
After saying that, he took out a small red brocade box from his pocket and pushed it in front of Cang Mo.
Cang Mo looked at it with some confusion, wiped his hands and opened the brocade box. Inside was a pair of very delicate silver rings, with delicate patterns engraved on them and a tiny shimmer.
"In my hometown, two people will wear rings when they get married." Lin Qingyang said softly.
In the end, he didn't choose the picture of boundless spring scenery, thinking that after all, it was his lifelong event, so he should be more serious about it.
Cang Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he was still digesting Lin Qingyang's words. After a while, he looked at him in disbelief, with a hint of joy.
Lin Qingyang smiled and said, "I know you are getting married. This is a wedding gift for you and the bride."
After listening to his words, Cang Mo's eyes paused and slowly darkened.
Lin Qingyang didn't notice, and said with a gossipy smile, "This ring will automatically adjust its size after you put it on. You don't have to worry about the size. You must have met the bride. The princess of the sea tribe must be very beautiful."
"Princess of the sea tribe? Who told you?" Cang Mo asked in a deep voice, staring coldly at the pair of rings in his hand.
"Anyway, I just heard what others said." Lin Qingyang hesitated, then paused and said, "But I won't attend your wedding. I've been out for so long, and a lot of things have accumulated in Fusheng Pavilion. I'm better now..."
"Are you giving this because I want to get married to someone else?" Cang Mo suddenly said with a sneer, a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Otherwise?" Lin Qingyang was a little confused.
Cang Mo looked at him for a while speechless, and finally put down his chopsticks with a snap and said coldly, "I remembered something else, please eat slowly." After that, he stood up and left.
"What's wrong with you? You don't like this?" Lin Qingyang asked with some confusion when she saw his ugly face.
Cang Mo took a deep breath, turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "No, your gift is very good, I like it very much."
Lin Qingyang frowned and looked at him, because Cang Mo's tone didn't sound like he liked her, but he didn't want to ask too much. He just said, "You should be very busy with your wedding soon, so I won't disturb you here. I think I will leave tomorrow."
Cang Mo stared at him and sneered, "There will be a welcome dinner for the Sea Clan tomorrow. Let's go before leaving."
"Do I need to attend the Hai Clan's welcome dinner?" Lin Qingyang asked confused.
"Aren't you very curious about what the bride looks like? I'll meet you tomorrow!" Cang Mo almost said the last few words through gritted teeth. After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out without waiting for him to speak again.
Lin Qingyang looked at his angry back and became more and more confused. What was going on with this kid? Why was he so angry even though he was so good? Is it because they were married, so he felt uncomfortable?
Lin Qingyang sighed helplessly and threw the shrimps on the plate into his mouth. This would give him one more day to stay, but it was only one day, so it shouldn't be a big problem, but he always felt a little uneasy. His eyes fell on the small black box on the desk again. Was he really just keeping the demon lock ring for nostalgia? Or was he thinking about something else? Lin Qingyang shook his head quickly, not daring to think about it anymore.
