The morning sunlight is like melted honey, flowing through the half-open curtains in the bedroom.
Huo Sili Pushed open the door, and what came into view was a tightly wrapped silkworm baby in the center of the bed.
Qu Nanzhu The whole person was sunk into the soft goose down quilt again. Only a few strands of ink-colored ear-length hair slipped out disobediently and scattered on the pillow, glowing like silk in the sun.
"Nanzhu, it's time to wake up." Huo Sili walked to the bed and spoke softly and slowly.
The blanket squirmed a little, but there was no further response.
With a smile in his eyes, Huo Sili leaned over and carefully opened a gap from the top of the quilt.
First, his smooth forehead was revealed, and then his eyes were closed. The short black hair above his ears was a bit messy, with a few strands sticking to his cheeks, making his skin tone even whiter.
Feeling the light and movement, Qu Nanzhu's eyelashes trembled, his brows furrowed slightly, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
The pupils showed a clear light brown color in the sunlight, filled with the dazed watery light when they first woke up.
"... Huh?" He made a nasal voice with a heavy sleepiness, subconsciously trying to bury himself again.
Huo Sili stretched out his hand to straighten the messy hair on his cheek. "Why are you so sleepy today?"
Qu Nanzhu's eyelids were half closed, and a muffled voice came out from the edge of the quilt. "... No, I was just a little excited last night and fell asleep very late..."
Seeing this dazed look made Huo Sili feel weak in his heart. He smiled lowly and helped him tuck the quilt in, "Then sleep a little longer. I'll call you later."
As he was about to stand up, a warm hand suddenly came out from under the quilt and accurately hooked a few of his fingers.
Huo Sili paused in his steps and turned around to cast a questioning look. "What's wrong?"
Qu Nanzhu didn't even open his eyes, acting entirely on instinct.
He took Huo Sili's hand, rubbed his head unconsciously on the pillow, and then sat up unsteadily.
He just sat there with his eyes closed for a few seconds, and then opened them. There was still some hazy sleepiness in his eyes.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Let's help my unlucky boyfriend solve the current problem."
Huo Sili was hit in the heart by his extremely natural boyfriend.
It's like being drenched with a spoonful of warm honey, and the sweetness spreads instantly, seeping into every heartbeat.
He hooked the two linked hands in response. "Then thank you boyfriend."
The voice is low and warm, with infinite indulgence.
After a while, a refreshing and neat half-high ponytail was tied up, and the remaining broken hair hung softly under the ears and behind the neck, making the outline of Qu Nanzhu's side face clearer.
"Okay." Huo Sili put down his hand gently.
Qu Nanzhu felt the right restraint on the back of his head and shook his head in satisfaction.
They are going back to the Huo Family for breakfast today.
Last night, Huo Sili, who was in love for the first time, couldn't help but tell Si Yunxiang about his relationship with Qu Nanzhu.
Si Yunxiang first sent a question mark, and then withdrew it in seconds. After about a few minutes, it seemed that the couple had almost reached an agreement, and then they sent a congratulations.
Today is the first time that Qu Nanzhu goes to the Huo Family as her boyfriend, but he doesn't know it.
Because he said hello in advance, Huo Family also prepared breakfast for the two of them.
On the dining table, the sound of tapping bowls and chopsticks could be heard one after another.
Fang Pingyue doesn't know that her idol has turned into a sister-in-law. Anyway, as long as Qu Nanzhu comes over, she will be very happy.
She wanted to move her chair closer to Qu Nanzhu, but as soon as she took a small step, a harsh squeaking sound pierced the tranquility of the restaurant and reached everyone's ears.
The servant who heard the noise rushed over and saw the eldest lady, who was usually making a fuss, supporting half of her body on the dining table with a very strenuous movement.
Fang Moshan was frightened by her daughter's movements. After helping her up, she couldn't help but scold her in a low voice.
As a result, as soon as I helped the person up, my waist slipped.
Huo Qinglong feels that he has been hit too much recently.
Huo Juncheng stood up and asked in surprise, "What... what is this?"
The culprit Huo Sili silently put down his chopsticks and stood up to leave. "I'm full."
Huo Juncheng looked at his son in confusion. "Huh?"
The only insider, Qu Nanzhu, also quickly stuffed a mouthful of crystal shrimp dumplings and followed Huo Sili to get up and leave.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving too."
Si Yunxiang was completely out of the situation, but when he heard Qu Nanzhu calling him, his first reaction was to respond.
"Hey, go ahead."
Qu Nanzhu took Huo Sili's hand from behind and walked side by side with him.
Huo Sili is puzzled. "Why is my luck stolen and the people around me also unlucky?"
Qu Nanzhu:"Defense mechanism triggered."
Huo Sili looked at him.
Qu Nanzhu further explained, "Qi Luck is like an energy mechanism. For you, unless you take the initiative to give Qi Luck to others, otherwise the mechanism will automatically absorb the amount from the people around you to complete it, so other people will be unlucky."
"..." That's quite clever.
Huo Sili asked him, "Then why doesn't it affect you?"
This question...Qu Nanzhu thought about it for a while, how to explain it.
He said, "Because I am not restricted by Heavenly Dao here!"
here.
Huo Sili quickly grasped the point.
He knew that Qu Nanzhu was intentionally revealing the real past about him.
He clenched his hand and said with a chuckle, "Tell me about Xiao Zhu in the future."
Qu Nanzhu walked forward and nodded when he heard the words.
"Oh, by the way, can't we tell my uncle and aunt about our relationship?"
"I already said it last night."
"Ah!? Then why are they pretending not to know anything today?"
"They may think you don't want to say it now."
"Oh..."
--
Next to Spirit Lake, Qu Nanzhu followed the usual practice and tried to call out Ling Qiao who was hiding in the lake to recuperate.
After shouting a few times, Ling Qiao slowly emerged from the lake with half his head, his eyes full of manic depression.
Huo Sili noticed something was wrong and pulled Qu Nanzhu to lean back.
"Ling Qiao Something is wrong."
Qu Nanzhu naturally saw it too.
Ling Qiao looked at them with half of his head raised for a while, then slowly exposed half of his body.
She combed her hair irritably, not even wanting to look at the two people on the shore.
Ling Qiao:"What happened?"
But neither of them spoke on the shore.
Ling Qiao felt extremely irritated. Since the two of them were unwilling to explain their purpose, why did she come out?
Without thinking twice, I decided to dive back into the water.
But... it didn't work out.
She tried several times, but found that half of her body was stuck.
A pair of angry eyes instantly looked at Qu Nanzhu on the shore. Before she could curse, Qu Nanzhu had already posted a Calming Talisman.
Qu Nanzhu dragged the ghost ashore and said, "Let me see what's on your body."
Ling Qiao felt that this person was going too far and treated her like a tiger if she didn't show off her power, but she was a sick cat at the same time. Master felt that this was helping her, so she couldn't be so unreasonable.
Two emotions were fighting in her chest, and Qu Nanzhu had already tied her up.
Huo Sili helped him tie the knot. After the two of them finished, Qu Nanzhu just squatted next to her and looked around.
"How is it?" Huo Sili asked.
Qu Nanzhu nodded while watching. "The problem is Ling Qiao. Your luck is being transferred to another person through your Ghost Pact."
"So why is Ling Qiao like this?"
"She has been affected as a carrier. Don't worry, she will be fine."
After Qu Nanzhu finished speaking, he took the canvas bag and dug out paper, pen and cinnabar.
Still cutting his finger with the tip of the brush and mixing his own blood into the cinnabar, he asked Huo Sili: "Do you know why the other party went to such trouble to steal your luck?"
Of course Huo Sili didn't know, he shook his head in cooperation.
Qu Nanzhu raised his chin slightly. "To prevent me."
He explained while drawing the talisman, "I don't know when the other party targeted you, but before they took action, they discovered that I was with you, and there was also a thousand-year-old ghost. If they directly set up an array at your house or cast a spell to steal your luck, Ling Qiao and I would definitely find out."
"But it would be different if Ling Qiao and I were trying to contain each other. I guess they were convinced that I had used a forbidden technique that would damage Daoism in order to delay the earthquake last time, so they dared to take action."
Huo Sili interrupted him, "What do you mean you and Ling Qiao are restraining each other?"
He subconsciously thought that the other party was inciting him and Ling Qiao to rebel, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Qu Nanzhu smiled disdainfully, "They believe that I will not risk my own life to save you, not to mention that you will not die if your luck is taken away."
I have to say that since the two of them expressed their feelings for each other, the more Huo Sili looked at his little expressions, the more adorable they became, and the hands hanging by his sides were ready to move.
Qu Nanzhu is still there. "Ling Qiao has Merit in his body, and he is worshiped by you, but if he wants to break the curse, he must kill Ling Qiao completely. In this case, I will die due to the backlash of Heavenly Dao. But what they didn't expect is that I am not restricted by Heavenly Dao."
Huo Sili understood and said in a happy tone, "So, they think you can only watch my luck being stolen, but it's a pity that they miscalculated. This little trick is just a small case for you."
"That's right." The corner of Qu Nanzhu's mouth raised. He flicked the drawn talisman and threw it out. The eight talisman papers followed his will and formed Eight Trigrams Array with Ling Qiao as the center.
Ling Qiao, who was still fighting with his left and right brains, immediately stopped fighting in his brain and looked at Qu Nanzhu with a wary expression.
At the same time, the five little paper figures were also ready. As soon as Qu Nanzhu tracked each other's position, they immediately flew over and controlled the person.
