Little Fenghuang waited in the brothel for half a month, but no one came.

Just after a month and a half, the orthographic number that Xiao Fenghuang quietly engraved on the bed has reached the third one. On this day, when he just started to write the first stroke of the fourth orthographic character, the servant boy outside called him: "Brother, Ready to go out to meet guests!"

Little Fenghuang turned over on the bed and buried herself in the brocade quilt, her voice sounded a little weak: "I don't feel well, ask the people outside to replace me."

The servant boy turned pale with shock: "Brother, what's the matter with you? You opened the window to blow the wind yesterday, did you catch a cold?"

Xiao Fenghuang held his throat, pretended to be sick and sighed: "Maybe."

In fact, he is in very good health.The fortune teller was right. He has been singing and dancing all the way since he was a child, and he has never had a fever or illness. When he opened the window yesterday, he just stared at the crowds under the brothel. People came and went. , but no one is as good-looking as the person in his heart.

The voice of the servant boy talking to someone in a low voice came from outside, and there was a buzzing sound.Little Fenghuang squeezed into the bed, and not long after, another deep and magnetic voice sounded: "Then I won't go in, please tell him about this matter for me, and ask him what he means; I'm still busy, so I'll be leaving in a while."

Little Fenghuang shuddered, and Carp stiffened and rolled over from the bed.

The servant boy heard the commotion inside, and quickly turned around and asked, "Brother, brother? Don't move, I'll call you the doctor later."

Little Phoenix shouted: "I'm done!"

He quickly changed his clothes, and quickly went to the mirror to dress himself up, and then rushed out the door.This series of actions caused a lot of commotion. When they went out, they were in a hurry, but when they saw Xing Yi, they became quiet again.

With a handsome appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, the young man stood neatly in front of him, his usual pride and charming look could not be concealed between his brows and eyes, but at this moment his posture was lowered, a little reserved and expectant.

Really still a child.

Xing Yi took him out this time, to a place far away from the brothel.He took him to the camp where soldiers and horses were stationed to play. What he saw was green mountains and green waters, as well as boundless and deserted mountain winds, and the sound of empty valleys.

Little Phoenix began to worry that she would not be able to go back on time and would be beaten: "Did we go too far?"

Xing Yi didn't talk much on the way, he just said: "Just stay by my side, don't worry about other things."

Little Fenghuang didn't expect that they went out for fifteen days, as if they were making up for the half month he didn't see Xing Yi before.However, there was an accident on the way. Xiao Fenghuang sprained his ankle while climbing the mountain, and he couldn't walk around for the time being, so he could only stay in the camp with Xing Yi to recuperate.It was only this time that he found out that Xing Yi was not a dude prince, but an important minister of the current emperor, who came to Jiangling to lead the army.

Xiao Fenghuang's foot was injured, and he sat all day, rubbing ink beside Xing Yi, watching him from a distance.Xing Yi approved military official documents, and when he received foreign ministers, he hid behind the screen, lowered his head and drew on the paper.When the meal was brought in, the two sat opposite each other, chewing slowly, also in silence.Little Phoenix has always been a lively character, and often chatted with Xing Yi a lot, and Xing Yi would say "um" once or twice, or show a faint smile, which made Little Phoenix very happy.While happy, there is also some slight sadness.

On the last day of his stay, Little Phoenix also knew that he should go back.Xing Yi went out to patrol, asked him to wait in the camp, and sent him back to the brothel at night.

During the waiting time, the servants brought him crushed and frozen cherries for him to eat. Little Phoenix picked the pits of the cherries with a long and slender silver phoenix pick just like before.Picking one and eating one, he thought about it, what should we do?

He felt that if he went back, he would never want to see others again, and pretending to be sick was not a long-term solution.

He is not yet seventeen, and the nanny will not allow him to delay making money for the brothel because of his personal affair, and put it on others. If he refuses to see customers, he will be beaten to death.

"Anyway, it's death, the sky has fallen and there's a bowl-sized scar." Little Phoenix murmured, looking at the cherry in his hand, and made a decision.

He eats one and counts one, lives in odd numbers and dies in even numbers.He can't go on like this anymore, if the number is even in the end, he will throw himself into the river when he goes back, as if he died of his own wishful thinking; if it is an odd number, he will never see Xing Yi again, the love will end here, and he will return to his original life.

He was still chanting: "Moths jump into the flames to kill themselves, and the sky will fall and the earth will follow." Picking up one, he said a number, one "single" and one "double", repeating without any ups and downs.Water condensed from the silver plate, and the cherry juice flowed thinly, dyeing the clear crushed ice a peach color.

And then the last one.

Little Phoenix stretched out his hand, this time it was an odd number, it seems God's will.However, before he touched it, another person's hand stretched out from behind him, took the cherry, and put it in his mouth.

Xing Yi lowered his head and asked him, "What are you counting for?"

Xiao Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, then avoided his gaze, and smiled a little guilty: "I'm just counting for fun..."

Xing Yi didn't ask any more questions, the two of them got into the carriage after dinner according to the previous plan, and returned to the city.

It's just that Xiao Fenghuang has been wondering, his last cherry was eaten by Xing Yi, should it be counted as an odd number or an even number?

"I was wrong."

"I was really wrong. I shouldn't pretend that I can't speak, because I'm afraid you think I'm plotting something wrong, so I can only do this. I heard from everyone that you have a bad temper and don't like keeping pets."

"But I really don't know how to transform into a human form. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Queen Mother and Lord Ming. I work with them. I am very poor. I originally came here to travel with my salary, but the money was cheated, so I had to come here. Dedicated to you, I heard that you are rich."

Little Phoenix squatted in front of Xingyi, lowered his head and made a deep self-criticism.This snow-white, chubby little pompom looked very sad, and between speaking, he would groan from time to time, ready to cry, as if he would be kicked out of the house by Xing Yi the next moment.

Little Phoenix wiped her tears with her soft, fat wings, and asked pitifully, "Can you not drive me away... I don't know how to transform into a human form, and now I go back to work, and probably no one will want me. I'm still an egg I was abandoned by my parents when I was young, I just want to have a family..."

The little fat bird trembled, trying to bury its head in its fluffy little wings, and said in a choked voice, "Can you, don't drive me away...Although I'm fat, I'm serious about losing weight. I can also do weight-loss exercises for you. If you don’t want to watch me do weight-loss exercises, I can also go out and find fruit for you to eat. You don’t eat anything every day, so it’s not good..."

Xing Yi rubbed his temples.Facing this dejected little chubby bird, he pursed his lips, wanted to laugh but suppressed it, still with a pair of indifferent eyes, said leisurely: "I'm going to practice."

Little Phoenix asked in a low voice: "Then I can still, can I still stand there and watch you?"

Xingyi was noncommittal.Xiao Fenghuang quickly jumped to the door frame, squatted down like before, shrunk round, and looked at him motionless, as if very sad.

He first waited for a while full of expectation, hoping that Xing Yi would occasionally be free, come to touch him, or say a few words, but Xing Yi didn't, he looked forward to it, and then lowered his little head a little.When the moon came up, Xing Yi put down what he was doing, brought a paper lantern, and was about to get up and go out. Before he lit the candle with magic, Little Phoenix spewed out fire, and rushed to help him light the candle up.

However, it is a pity that the force was too strong, and even the lamp paper was burned.When the mountain wind blew outside, it burned several feet high with a bang, almost singed little Phoenix's fur.

Xing Yi glanced at Xiao Fenghuang, stretched out his hand and used a spell to suppress the fire.

Little Fenghuang walked to the side in a hurry, lowered his head silently, Xiaodou's eyes were very sad.He followed behind Xing Yi, Xing Yi walked a few steps, he quickly caught up with the front, stopped for a while, and then caught up with a whiz, from a distance, it seemed that the small ball was not walking, but Rolling.

After returning, Xingyi took a shower and washed, undressed and went to bed.As soon as he lay down, a fluffy ball flew over, its little paws sank into the soft pillow, and then it rattled in, the fluffy belly of the bird was pressed against his cheek.

Xing Yi turned his head to look at him, then closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

The little fat bird stretched out its wings and poked him.

Xing Yi remained motionless.

In the night, Xing Yi heard the little bird beside him gasp, then walked a few trembling steps, and landed on his pillow.

He opened his eyes and saw little phoenix struggling to get up, holding a snow-white tail feather in his mouth.

"This is for you, I'm sorry, I don't know if you want it, but if you don't, I will be very sad. This feather is the most beautiful feather I have, don't dislike it." Little Phoenix's eyes flickered With crystal tears, "It hurts a little, don't ignore me, okay?"

This little fat bird must have become even more listless, curling up aggrieved, as if it was really in pain.

Xing Yi sat up and grabbed Little Phoenix.

Little Phoenix was startled, and after a while, he quickly became motionless, lay obediently on the palm of his hand, and even scratched his fingers with his little paw.

Xing Yi turned the little phoenix over and checked the little phoenix's tail.I don't know what kind of spell he used, Xiao Fenghuang felt his bird's butt was cool, he twisted in horror, but was stopped by Xing Yi in a low voice: "Don't move, didn't you say it hurts?"

Only then did Little Phoenix obediently let Xing Yi drag his butt, the whole bird was rolled over and spread out in Xing Yi's palm.

Xing Yi stretched out his index finger and scratched his fluffy belly: "Go to sleep. Don't do this kind of thing in the future."

Little Phoenix was stunned for a moment, then got up from his hands in surprise, and walked onto his shoulders.

He asked cautiously: "Then can I still use your hair to make a nest?"

Xing Yi lay down again: "It's up to you."

Little Phoenix observed for a while, then boldly flew to Xing Yi's head to nest.The paws were put away, being very careful not to hurt him, and then nestled into a ball, just like this, ready to sleep.

He stretched out his little wings and patted Xing Yi's head: "Good night."

Xing Yi remained silent, Xiao Fenghuang waited, thinking he had fallen asleep.A moment later, when Little Phoenix was about to fall asleep, Xing Yi also said in a low voice: "Good night, Little Phoenix."

------------------

Little Phoenix thought that the matter was successfully concluded, but unexpectedly, the next day, he was arrested again.

Before Xing Yi woke up, Xiao Fenghuang slipped out for a walk, just in time to meet Garuda who was looking for him.

Garuda asked him nervously, "How is it? Didn't you get caught?"

Xiao Fenghuang pulled him into the purple bamboo forest: "Don't worry, although I was discovered, I have a solution. Let's meet in the morning. Anyway, Dijun always gets up, so we can continue drinking and chatting."

Garuda wondered: "You still dare to come to Zizhu Forest? I felt something was wrong yesterday, the emperor probably heard us talking."

Little Fenghuang patted his chest: "What are you afraid of! It's an old routine, pretending to be pitiful, and then using some tricks to trick anyone into taking the bait--I tell you, I gave him a tail feather, and he will forgive me. The tail feathers don't hurt at all, and I'm a phoenix, with the ability to regenerate and heal, and it can grow back every night. I once sent a basket of tail feathers with flowers to King Wuxinming hehehe—"

While talking, he saw that Garuda's face was a bit wrong, so he asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Garuda raised its wings and pointed behind him.

Little Phoenix looked back.

Xing Yi stood behind him expressionlessly, reaching out to rub his temples.
