005 Birthday Gift
"This is what your mother left for you."
Seeming to see the confusion in her eyes, Wu Sheng explained to her.
"It is the Chi Lian, one of the ancient artifacts. It was the magical artifact used by your mother during her lifetime. Now, I give it to you."
She had heard Wu Sheng talk about Chi Lian before, but this was the first time she had actually seen it.
Wu Ling'er gently stroked the blade, feeling its heat bit by bit.
"Qi'er." Wu Sheng's eyes suddenly turned and looked at Wu Qi who was standing aside. "Don't let the second person know about the things I entrusted to you."
"I understand, father." Wu Qi responded respectfully, his warm eyes clear.
There was a domineering tone in Wu Sheng's tone that she had never felt before, like an aloof king. This temperament was engraved in her bones. This was the first time she had seen Wu Sheng speak so seriously.
Wu Ling'er looked at them with some confusion and thought:
They must be hiding some little secret from her!
"You guys should step back first."
Perhaps seeing the inquiry in her eyes, Wu Sheng suddenly stopped talking and spoke to them.
"Yes." The two of them immediately turned and left.
…
Wu Ling'er walked out of the hall side by side with Wu Qi with a heavy heart, and suddenly heard Wu Qi calling her from the side.
"Ling'er."
When Wu Ling'er heard the sound, she raised her head and met Wu Qi's warm eyes.
"I'll see you at Wuwangya tonight at 5 o'clock. It's your birthday gift."
Only then did she remember that the young lady seemed to have some gifts yet to be given to her. She couldn't help but smile, put her head next to Wu Qi's ear, and said to him in a low and seductive voice.
"I'll wait for you~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ling'er ran away as if running away.
Seeing her joyful way of smearing oil on her soles and leaving immediately, Wu Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, then helplessly shook his head and murmured.
"This ghost spirit..."
Wu Qi's eyes were full of doting.
…
The twilight is gathering, and the golden crow is sinking in the west.
The bright crescent moon climbed up to the treetops of Wuwang Cliff, and there were thousands of stars in the night sky.
At this time, spring was not strong, and the night wind blew, bringing with it a faint chill.
Before Wu Ling'er came, she had eaten a bowl of noodles and many square cakes, so it was already past the agreed time when she set off. By the time she climbed up Wuwang Cliff, Wu Qi had been waiting for her on the top of the cliff for a long time.
.
At this time, he was leaning on his back, and the dim yellow moonlight cast a layer of vague silver light on his light green robe.
"Brother!" Wu Ling'er called him happily.
Wu Qi, who was not far away, turned around when he heard the sound and smiled tenderly at her.
"Come and sit." He patted the seat next to him.
Wu Ling'er stepped forward, sat obediently beside him, and followed his line of sight to the distant sky, where the vast stars were blinking at them.
"It's so beautiful here..."
Wu Ling'er looked at the night sky in trance and murmured.
In the past, she went to bed very early at this time. Firstly, because there was no mobile phone, the night was too boring. Secondly, during the day, her cheap dad kept making her memorize books and ancient volumes, and she had no idea about those complicated ancient texts.
She had a headache. As soon as it got dark, she filled her stomach and put her head on the pillow, and fell asleep involuntarily.
How can I take care of the beautiful scenery here at Wuwang Cliff?
"look!"
Wu Qi looked sideways at her and suddenly pointed at the sky and said to her.
Wu Ling'er looked at the night sky along his fingertips, and saw that a silver light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then countless silver lights fell from the sky, one after another.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with silver light, which was spectacular.
"Meteor shower!!"
Wu Ling'er shouted excitedly, involuntarily grabbing Wu Qi's sleeve and shaking it vigorously.
"Brother! Look, it's a meteor shower!"
Wu Qi let her pull his sleeves, smiled and said to her.
"Silly girl, why are you still standing there? Make a wish!"
After hearing the words, Wu Ling'er obediently closed her eyes and folded her hands in front of her chest.
She thought silently in her heart: I hope everything is well with my father and brother.
There was a cool night breeze in her ears, gently blowing her long black hair that reached her waist.
When she opened her eyes again, meteors passed by in a hurry, and it was almost over.
It wasn't until the last meteor disappeared from the sky that she slowly came back to her senses.
Wu Ling'er turned her head slightly and looked at Wu Qi beside her, and saw that he was also looking at her quietly.
Wu Qi asked: "Is it beautiful?"
Wu Ling'er nodded and responded.
"Beautiful! I have never found that the scenery here is so beautiful..."
After Wu Ling'er finished speaking, she looked at the night sky with some unfinished thoughts, thinking to herself, I wonder when will the next time I see this beautiful scenery?
Wu Qi blinked his eyes and spoke with a smile.
"In addition to climbing trees to pick fruits every day, Ghost Spirit always goes to the kitchen to steal food. Where does he have time to discover the beautiful scenery of Hopeless Valley?"
Wu Ling'er retorted with him in embarrassment: "No, brother, you are making fun of me again!"
"However, the surprise is not over yet..."
At this time, Wu Qi suddenly smiled mysteriously, and the last note slowly lengthened.
"???"
Wu Ling'er looked at him with a puzzled face. He gently stretched out his left hand, and a small green bottle suddenly appeared in his hand.
He waved the hand holding the bottle lightly, and in an instant, his whole body felt like he was among thousands of stars.
Dots of fireflies lingered, and countless fluorescent yellow lights flew around them lightly, slowly pouring in all directions.
"This is... a firefly?"
Wu Ling'er was surprised and did not forget to slowly stretch out her fingers, wanting to touch the bits of light in front of her.
At this time, Wu Qi's eyes were illuminated by fireflies, and they shone like bright stars in the night sky.
"Does it look good?" he asked.
"It's beautiful!" Wu Ling'er nodded blankly, and then asked him curiously: "But it's early spring, how did brother find these fireflies?"
Wu Qi blinked at her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.
"It's a secret, but does Ling'er still like this birthday gift?"
"I like it, I like it very much!" Wu Ling'er laughed out loud, and the heat from his mouth quickly dissipated into the dark night.
At this time, the silence on the edge of Hopeless Cliff was extraordinary, with only a few chirping of insects.
This little shota, who has been pampering her since she grew up, will always find new ways to surprise her.
She thought that she would probably never forget the scene just now.
Because he is the most important person to her!
…
Wu Qi didn't stay for a few days before he was sent down the mountain by Wu Sheng.
Before leaving, Wu Qi warned her to be extremely careful in everything.
She didn't understand the meaning of his words at that time, but it wasn't until not long after that she finally understood the meaning of what he said before leaving.
It was the third day after Wu Qi left. Wu Sheng suddenly and seriously called her to the main hall. He told her that she could go down the mountain.
It's going down the mountain, not out of the valley!
Before she could cheer happily, she saw that Wu Sheng's face was not that good. She was so frightened that she quickly suppressed her excitement and asked him cautiously.
"Why did dad suddenly agree to let me go down the mountain?"
"..."
Wu Sheng, however, kept his words and just stared at her quietly.
For a long time, I just heard him slowly sigh.
"When you grow up, it's time to go down the mountain and have some experience."
Wu Sheng pretended to speak calmly, but he could not hide from Wu Ling'er's keen eyes. His trembling chin had betrayed him, and he was reluctant to let her leave.
Chapter completed!
