When he woke up in the morning, Xufeng was no longer in bed. Run Yu hadn't slept well the night before, so he was a little tired.

At this moment, Xufeng stepped into the room and saw that he was awake. "You're up."

"Yes."

Run Yu was about to get out of bed when Xufeng pulled him back. "Sit tight and wait for me."

After a while, Xufeng came back with a comb and a small mirror. He handed the mirror to him, while Xufeng held the comb in his hand.

Xufeng helped him comb his slightly knotted hair bit by bit as he muttered something.

Run Yu listened carefully and realized that it was a common saying in the mortal world. "One comb to the head, two combs to the tail, three combs to the white hair and eyebrows …"

Run Yu's lips curled up slightly, but he let him be.

After he finished combing, Xufeng took out a hairpin and pinned it into his hair.

Run Yu was stunned. The hairpin was wrapped in a golden light. It was Xufeng's Huan Di Phoenix Plume.

Xufeng rested his head on his shoulder and looked at the mirror with him. "Yu'er, from now on, you're the owner of this Huan Di Phoenix Plume."

"Yes." Run Yu replied, but there was no smile on his face.

Xufeng didn't notice. He pulled on his hands and said, "I'm going to town to buy some things. Do you want to come with me?"

Run Yu shook his head. "No, I haven't washed up yet."

"Then I'll wait for you."

"No need. I've just woken up, so I don't have enough energy. I want to go back to sleep later. You can go by yourself."

"I see." Xufeng was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered. "Then wait for me at home. I'll bring back a lot of delicious food."

Run Yu nodded. "Yes, go."

Hearing the courtyard door open and close, Run Yu's forced smile faded again. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Maybe I really don't have enough energy. Run Yu sighed. Since he had nothing to do after waking up, he lay down again.

He plucked the Huan Di Phoenix Plume and placed it under his pillow before falling into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon. As soon as Run Yu stepped out of his room, he smelled a fragrance.

Xu Feng didn't go back on his words. He cooked a table full of good dishes. The fragrance just now was the fish soup he made from the fish in the lake at the top of the mountain. Runyu didn't know when he had such good cooking skills. It was just that the portion was too much. Even if there were two more people, they couldn't finish it.

"The peanut soup seller didn't open his stall today. I heard from the people next to him that his wife has given birth. I'll buy it for you later."

Run Yu smiled. "Okay."

Next, Xufeng explained the recipe of each dish while desperately putting food into Run Yu's bowl.

Unfortunately, Run Yu had just woken up and didn't have much of an appetite. He only tasted one or two mouthfuls of each dish before he was unwilling to move his chopsticks again. As a result, there was a lot left in his bowl.

Seeing the disappointed look on Xufeng's face, Run Yu could not bear it. He hurriedly took another bowl and scooped some more fish soup to drink.

At this time, Xufeng suddenly asked, "Where's the Huan Di Phoenix Plume?

Why did you change it to the white jade hairpin? "

Run Yu's hand paused as he scooped the soup. He said indifferently, "I was in a hurry when I got up and forgot."

"Oh."

It was not until the next day and the third day that Run Yu still wore the white jade hairpin that Xufeng understood that perhaps he had not forgotten.

He took out the Huan Di Phoenix Plume from under his pillow and sat in a daze for a long time before silently putting it back.

From this day onwards, Xufeng discovered a lot of things that he had overlooked before.

Run Yu did not seem as happy as he was about their reunion. He was always sullen. Occasionally, his smile seemed to be forced out. As soon as he turned around, that smile would immediately disappear. It was as if his face had always been as calm as an ancient well.

He did not like to talk much before. Now, he was even more taciturn. When he was alone, he would either sit in the courtyard and play chess with himself or kneel in front of the shrine without saying a word. Sometimes, he would kneel for an entire afternoon.

The most important thing was that Xufeng discovered that Run Yu did not seem to like his touch. Every night, when he hugged him, his whole body would be stiff. Even if he was asleep, as long as he turned over, he would immediately wake up.

Run Yu was resisting him. He was resisting him from the inside out …

Xufeng was very sad because of this discovery, but he did not dare to show it. He always gave Run Yu a gentle smile.

The days passed like this. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, an old friend came to visit.

The door was not latched. Jin Mi pushed the door open and came in. As soon as she took a step, she shouted, "Phoenix, I brought you some seeds of strange flowers. Come and see."

For a long time, no one answered. Jin Mi was puzzled. She looked around and saw an unexpected person under the tree. Her jaw almost dropped.

"Run Yu!"

Run Yu did not expect it to be her. He was also a little surprised. He nodded at her.

Jin Mi was stunned for a moment. She stepped forward and pulled Run Yu's sleeve. She shouted, "You really came back!

Heavens, Xufeng should be happy to death!

Wait for me, I will go and tell him now!

Wait for me, I will be back soon! "

She lifted her skirt and was about to rush out of the door.

Run Yu said indifferently, "Xufeng will be back soon. He went to town to buy groceries."

"That won't do. I have to let him be mentally prepared. What if he faints because of excitement?" After a while, Jin Mi suddenly turned around. "How did you know he went to buy groceries?"

Run Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I have been back for a month."

"Wow, that guy did not even inform me and Yanyou. He is really … too disloyal!" Jin Mi immediately panted with anger.

However, her mood came and went quickly. She forgot about this matter in the blink of an eye and pulled Runyu aside to talk to her.

"Run Yu, where did you go?

Why did you only come back now?

How is your recovery?

You … "

Jin Mi's questions came out like a chain of pearls. She spoke quickly, making Run Yu's head hurt.

In the end, Run Yu had to ask her to stop. He told her the whole story.

Only then did Jin Mi let out a sigh of relief. "Runyu, it's a good thing you came back. Otherwise, I feel that Xu Feng would have gone crazy.

You don't know how hard he waited for you! "

Run Yu regained his calm. "I know."

"You don't know. That guy is the best. He suffered because he wanted to save face. He must have a lot of things that he did not tell you.

Let me tell you. At that time, he had just repaired your soul and spirit. His own soul was still very weak, so he had to use the Blood Spirit Seed technique. Fortunately, because of the resurrection of the Blood Spirit Seed, he could not use it again. Otherwise, with his situation at that time, I'm afraid his own soul would have been scattered.

Later, in order to find the Soul Formation Lamp, he traveled through the six realms for twenty years. When he heard that it was in Mo Chen's hands, he rushed to fight with Mo Chen. Mo Chen's injuries were more serious than his, but he was also badly injured. However, he did not care and rushed to Hidden Trace Mountain. Hidden Trace Mountain was a place where even insects could not survive, but he looked for it for a whole year.

Then he used up all his spiritual power and almost froze to death in Hidden Trace Mountain. If Mo Chen did not save him for my father, you would not have seen him today! "

"Then I really have to thank the Water God." Run Yu's tone was still as calm as water. "I remember that it was also the Water God who pointed the way to Doumu Yuanjun's place for Xufeng."

Jin Mi realized that she was praising herself. She was a little embarrassed. "Uh, not really. It was mainly because Xufeng was sincere enough.

You don't know, but he really, really cares about you. "

Run Yu lowered his eyes and drank his tea. He did not speak.

Jin Mi did not feel that anything was wrong. She continued, "Just last month, Xufeng heard that there were traces of you in the North Sea and ran to fight with Mo Chen. With his current level of spiritual power, he still dared to fight with Beixuanjun. He was almost stabbed through by Mo Chen …"

By the time Xufeng returned, Jin Mi had already started talking about the Devil Cleansing Pool.

"The Devil Cleansing Pool is used to punish criminals who have committed heinous crimes in the Devil Realm. Although it can cleanse the devil's blood, it can also cut off the flesh and bones. Liuying and I have advised Xufeng for a long time, but he did not listen. He soaks in the Devil Cleansing Pool during the day and comes up at night to heal his rotten body. So on and so forth …"

"Cough!" Xufeng stood at the entrance of the courtyard and coughed.

"Phoenix!" Jin Mi finally realized and hurriedly stood up. "You're back!" Her joyful tone and expectant expression were like that of a young wife waiting for her husband to return.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Jin Mi took a while to realize that something was wrong. She mumbled, "That, I mean Run Yu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xufeng forced a smile at her, then walked around her to Run Yu and asked softly, "Are you feeling better today?"

Run Yu nodded. "I'm feeling better."

"Then sit here for a while. I'll go make lunch."

"Okay."

"Jin Mi." After hesitating for a moment, Xufeng asked Jin Mi, "Do you want to stay for lunch?"

"Okay!" Jin Mi happily said, but she did not know that Xufeng sighed.

When the first dish was served, Run Yu suddenly said, "I'm a little tired. I want to sleep for a while."

Xufeng speechlessly watched him walk into the room. His expression was a little lonely.

"Phoenix, what happened to Run Yu?"

Jin Mi had gradually walked out of the pain of love and had regained some of her former naivety.

"It's nothing. It has nothing to do with you.

You eat first. "

Xufeng took a bowl, filled it with food, and brought it into the room. As expected, Run Yu was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Xufeng sighed again and walked over to sit by the bed. He wanted to caress his face, but he changed his direction halfway and patted him on the shoulder. "Get up and eat something."

Run Yu opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in them. "I'm not hungry."

"Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat something."

Run Yu sat up, leaned against the headboard, and reluctantly ate a little.

After eating, Xufeng helped him lie down again. He took the bowl and chopsticks and was about to leave when Run Yu suddenly spoke.

"I remember that I wasn't this close to the Water God in the past."

Xufeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "When you were sleeping in the reverse scale, she often came to see you and talked to you like today."

"Oh."

"Don't think too much. She was close to you because she liked you. I have nothing to do with her now."

"Well, I'm tired. You can go out."

Seeing Run Yu close his eyes again, Xufeng was a little sad, but he didn't know what he was sad about.

Jin Mi was still waiting for him to eat, but Xufeng didn't have much of an appetite. The two of them looked at each other silently and quickly finished their meal. Xufeng said to Jin Mi, "Jin Mi."

"What's the matter?" Jin Mi's eyes widened, wondering why Xufeng's voice was so heavy.

"For the time being, don't come over."

Jin Mi immediately showed an aggrieved expression, which made Xufeng feel guilty. However, she was now well-versed in the ways of the world and knew that she must have done something wrong today. She didn't ask the question "Why?" and only replied, "Okay."

She didn't know that someone in the room had heard this, and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of her eye.
