At the back, where Bai Yuehu swam, it was darkness beyond reach. Lu Qingjiu could not see anything but Bai Yuehu swimming beneath him. Worried that he was afraid, Bai Yuehu spent the rest of the way talking with Lu Qingjiu, until he reached a huge platform. The platform was lit up with a cold light, and the stars were like stars. If you look closely, you will see that the source of the light is some strange looking fish. Lu Qingjiu could not help but smile when he thought of a phrase that could only be used to describe the appearance of these fish.

Bai Yuehu asked him what he was laughing at.

"I saw a quote once asking why all the fish in the deep sea are so ugly." Lu Qingjiu said, "Someone replied that no one could see them anyway, so they just grew up."

Bai Yuehu was silent for a moment and then came the words, "I also grow in the deep sea."

Lu Qingjiu :""

Bai Yuehu: "My whole family grew up in the deep sea."

Lu Qingjiu coughed violently, his face half red: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to call you ugly."

Bai Yuehu did not say anything, and after putting Lu Qingjiu on the platform, he dispersed the black mist and returned to his human form.

Lu Qingjiu can barely make out the view from the platform, which is a very neat boulder, seemingly polished, with a huge cavern at the far end, which also glows brightly in the dark waters.

Bai Yuehu led Lu Qingjiu, towards the entrance of the cave, and he briefly described the place, saying that it had once been his residence, or home in human terms.

Lu Qingjiu's heart was full of curiosity when he came to Bai Yuehu's place for the first time, and he couldn't imagine what kind of birthday present Bai Yuehu would give him.

The two continued on and entered the cave. Once inside, Lu Qingjiu saw that the walls of the cave were inlaid with many bright round beads, which emitted a bright light in the darkness of the cave, illuminating the whole entrance as if it were daylight.

The cave is so large that Lu Qingjiu cannot even see the end of the ceiling, so the prototype of Bai Yuehu, who lived in it, could not have been smaller.

There were many tiny forks in the cave, but there was only one main path, and in this main path the furnishings were very simple, and apart from the occasional decorations hanging on the walls, there was hardly any sign that the place was inhabited. Soon, however, they came to a huge room, in the centre of which stood a black stone disc, which was circular and took up almost the greater part of the room.

Bai Yuehu said, "This is my bedroom."

"Is that your bed?" Lu Qingjiu asks, pointing to the stone tray.

Bai Yuehu nods and asks Lu Qingjiu to wait at the door, he walks towards the stone tray. Because there were no night pearls in the bedroom, Lu Qingjiu could not see clearly where Bai Yuehu had gone. But he soon returned, and when he did, he naturally took Lu Qingjiu's hand and said, "Come here."

Lu Qingjiu said hello and was led forward by Bai Yuehu.

Bai Yuehu said, "It's a bit dark up ahead, follow me and take your time."

Lu Qingjiu smiled, "Hmm."

They went around the stone tray and into a cave at the back of the bedroom, through which Lu Qingjiu seemed to come into a tall, empty room, the whole of which was dark and he could see nothing.

"Lu Qingjiu." Bai Yuehu stopped in his tracks and went to Lu Qingjiu's ear, whispering, "Happy birthday."

As the words fell, a gentle glow lit up before his eyes and Lu Qingjiu saw a huge white skeleton. No, it was not a skeleton, it was a white dragon's horn, white and translucent, like jade, shining with a dazzling light. It filled almost the entire room, and in front of it, Lu Qingjiu, a human being, was as small as an ant.

Lu Qingjiu stared at the dragon's horn, utterly captivated by its beautiful brilliance, and he could not help but approach it and gently rub it with his hand. The horn was so hard to the touch that it felt like stone, and Lu Qingjiu couldn't stop touching it, even wanting to rub his cheek against it.

Bai Yuehu said, "Do you like it?"

"Naturally I like it." Lu Qingjiu smiled, "Where did you get it?"

Bai Yuehu said, "It's me I picked up."

Lu Qingjiu said, "I picked it up."

"Yes." Bai Yuehu said, "When every dragon comes of age, it replaces the horns it had as a young dragon, and this is it."

Lu Qingjiu looked surprised: "These are only the horns of a young dragon".

"Yes." Bai Yuehu said, "An adult dragon horn, twice as big as this one."

Lu Qingjiu could no longer imagine that he was beside this dragon's horn and could not even reach out to hold it.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Then this must be very special."

Bai Yuehu said, "Well."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Is it alright to give it to me like this?" Naturally he didn't really think Bai Yuehu had picked up the horn from somewhere. Obviously, the owner of the young dragon's horn was Bai Yuehu, but the fox spirit seemed to have found a reason to give it to Lu Qingjiu.

"It's okay." Bai Yuehu, however, rarely looked away, not continuing to look at Lu Qingjiu, "I can make the decision."

Lu Qingjiu smiled, "Thank you, this birthday present, I like it very much." He had never received such a special birthday present before.

This dragon horn was so big that Lu Qingjiu had thought Bai Yuehu was just bringing it to him for a look, and even if he said he was giving it to him, he would not be able to take it away. Who knew that after he said that, Bai Yuehu's hand touched the dragon horn, and then the horn began to shrink rapidly, and finally stopped at the size of his thumb.

Lu Qingjiu was stunned at the sight, but Bai Yuehu had naturally taken a long, thin chain out of his pocket, punched a hole through the dragon's horn and strung it up with the chain. Then he looked at Lu Qingjiu and said in a warm voice, "I'll put it on you."

Lu Qingjiu nods his head.

Bai Yuehu reached out and placed the chain around his neck, and Lu Qingjiu looked down to see the reduced size of the dragon's horn. If he hadn't just seen the prototype of the dragon's horn, he would have found it hard to imagine that something that big was actually hanging around his own neck. No wonder Bai Yuehu had to bring him over to see it for himself. It would have been a pity to give it away so small, without seeing the original splendour of the dragon's horn.

Lu Qingjiu stretched out his hand and gently touched the dragon's horn, which had become smaller, with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Yuehu gave Lu Qingjiu a look of satisfaction as he put it on, the man in front of him was finally tainted with his scent and no longer had to be afraid of anything else coveting it.

After delivering the gifts and taking Lu Qingjiu for a short swim in the sea, Bai Yuehu drove Lu Qingjiu back to his house. It was late at night and Lu Qingjiu checked the time and realised that it was now 3am.

Bai Yuehu put Lu Qingjiu out in the courtyard and they said goodnight to each other before going to their respective rooms.

Lu Qingjiu lies in bed but loses a little sleep, holding in his arms the wooden box left to him by his grandmother and the scarred dragon scales in it.

This dragon scale should have belonged to the lover of the grandmother, but I do not know with what feelings the grandmother left this scale behind.

Lu Qingjiu thought a little too much and it took a while longer before he drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Lu Qingjiu rarely stays in bed. Yesterday he slept so late that he didn't get out of bed until noon and went to the living room to see the rest of the family sitting in the living room eating instant noodles.

"Why aren't you cooking?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"We think it's safer to soak up the noodles." Zhu Miaomiao replied sombrely, "After all, if I keep pooping, I might have to go to an anal hospital."

Lu Qingjiu :""

"But the pimples on my face have gone away after a day of pulling," Zhu Miaomiao said. Zhu Miaomiao said, "Does Yin Xun's cooking also have the function of detoxifying and nourishing the face."

Yin Xun said, "Are you still eating? If you want to eat, I'll still make it."

"No, no, it's already finished." Zhu Miaomiao waved her hand, she was a girl after all and quickly noticed the extra thing around Lu Qingjiu's neck, "Hey, why do you have an extra necklace around your neck?

Lu Qingjiu said, "It's Bai Yuehu."

"Wow, you two have a problem." Zhu Miaomiao reveals a wicked grin.

Yin Xun's eyes widened instantly at the sight of the dragon's horn, and he clearly recognised what it was, his face full of disbelief, his mouth open for a long time.

"What's the problem?" Lu Qingjiu asks.

Zhu Miaomiao said, "Hahahaha I know, but I won't say anything."

Lu Qingjiu went to the kitchen to make some food, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he had pooped all day yesterday and his stomach was rumbling, he was a bit too hungry.

In order to eat early, Lu Qingjiu made a simple stir-fry and thought it would be a good idea to pamper himself.

The fried rice is simple but tasty, with ham, prawns and eggs all diced and fried together with the rice. The rice tastes better if it's overnight, but at their house, there's never any leftover rice.

Lu Qingjiu fried a big pot and sent Yin Xun to milk it, so everyone ate their lunch.

After eating, Lu Qingjiu, who was still awake, went back to sleep and waited until 3pm when the sun was shining before getting up slowly from bed.

He yawns and walks into the living room, where he sees Bai Yuehu sitting alone on the sofa watching TV.

Lu Qingjiu poured a glass of water, sat down next to Bai Yuehu and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Just look around." Bai Yuehu said.

Lu Qingjiu looked up and saw that Bai Yuehu was watching Animal World. Of course, unlike the foxes, the foxes in the documentary have a beautiful orange fur, although they all look quite beautiful.

A few members of the fox family are living in a huge rubbish heap. The fox father and mother look very happy with their cute baby foxes, and Bai Yuehu sits on the sofa and watches very carefully.

Lu Qingjiu, who also accompanied Bai Yuehu for a while, jokingly asked, "Is this different from your life?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Nothing is different." He added, after a moment's silence, "They are poorer than I am."

Lu Qingjiu almost spat out the water in his mouth when he heard it.

Lu Qingjiu watched Bai Yuehu for a while and then went to the kitchen to make dinner. Zhu Miaomiao had to go back to work after a few days at their house, so Lu Qingjiu wanted to make every meal a bit more generous so that she could eat everything she could.

Lu Qingjiu cut the pumpkin they brought back a few days ago into chunks, crushed them, mixed them with flour, sandwiched them with bean paste, steamed them and then wrapped them in a layer of breadcrumbs and deep-fried them. The pumpkin is already very aromatic, sweet and doughy, so it tastes even better when fried.

Lu Qingjiu was putting the fried pumpkin cakes on a plate to dry when he saw Yin Xun rushing in from outside in a frenzy, calling out "Lu Qingjiu" when he saw him.

"What's wrong," Lu Qingjiu asked.

Yin Xun said, "Something big has happened."

Lu Qingjiu

The hand moved, "Something big has happened. What is it?"

Yin Xun said, "Your vixen is watching porn in the living room in broad daylight."

Lu Qingjiu: ""He looked at Yin Xun with a look of are you serious?

Yin Xun reached for a pumpkin pie, took a nibble and nodded heavily, "Of course I'm serious, get out there and mind your own business."

Lu Qingjiu wiped his hands and wondered if Bai Yuehu had hit some pay-per-view channel, so he hurriedly left the kitchen and went into the living room to say a few words. But he had barely got outside when he heard a very familiar low male voice: Spring is here, and it's mating season again!

Lu Qingjiu: ""He seemed to have guessed something.

When Lu Qingjiu looked at the TV screen, he saw two young foxes mating. The male fox was riding on top of the female, and Bai Yuehu was watching intently with a frown on his face.

Lu Qingjiu, inexplicably embarrassed, quietly pretended not to see anything and turned around to go back.

Yin Xun was still in the kitchen wreaking havoc with the pumpkin cakes, eating bean paste all over her mouth, when she saw Lu Qingjiu coming back, she hurriedly said, "Well, well, was he watching a little porno?"

Lu Qingjiu said through clenched teeth, "Animal World is not a porno."

Yin Xun said, "If it's not a porno, then why are you blushing?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Where am I blushing?" But he was indeed a little embarrassed when he saw Bai Yuehu's face just now, but not so much that he blushed.

Yin Xun, on the other hand, was ruthless in her dismissal of Lu Qingjiu: "Stop it, you're blushing like a monkey's arse."

Lu Qingjiu was furious: "Eat your pumpkin pie."

Yin Xun: ""Are you adults all so easily irritated.

Yin Xun decided to learn to keep his mouth shut in order to save his pumpkin pie. Lu Qingjiu fried the rest of the pancakes and when he was done, he went to the living room and saw that the fox cubs in the animal world had given birth to another litter, and alas, I wonder if they will be more temperate next spring and not teach the children a lesson.

Zhu Miaomiao, unaware of Bai Yuehu's identity, got up from bed, washed up and sat down on the sofa next to Bai Yuehu to watch Animal World, and actually discussed it with him.

"These foxes are all monogamous." Zhu Miaomiao, high on melon seeds, "It's like raising a litter of kids for three years"

Bai Yuehu said, "Three years."

Zhu Miaomiao said, "Yes, you have to raise the little foxes, but of course it must be difficult, and if they unfortunately die young, they will have new ones the next year." She stroked the little fox cub nestled in her lap and said, "If it weren't for your fur, I'd think you were a little fox too, with that little pointy beak."

Little fox cub: ""Do you always recognize people by their fur, sister?

Bai Yuehu looked thoughtful at his words.

Zhu Miaomiao continued, "Foxes are very clever, if it were any other animal in the landfill they would have been lost."

Bai Yuehu said, "Humans love foxes, don't they?"

Zhu Miaomiao: "Yes, although humans think foxes are cunning, they also think they are the embodiment of wisdom and charm, otherwise how can they curse people for calling them foxes, and there is no such thing as a wolf or a dog."

Bai Yuehu: "Well"

Lu Qingjiu listened to their conversation and wanted to rush over to Zhu Miaomiao and ask him to stop. He understood why Bai Yuehu wanted to pretend to be a fox, but how to tell the fox spirit that he didn't mind his prototype at all? He saw Zhu Miaomiao pick up the remote control and change the channel: "Animal World is over, let's watch something else."

Bai Yuehu said, "Well."

Zhu Miaomiao switched to a drama about a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Bai Yuehu and I watched it again with great interest.

Bai Yuehu, who usually lies in a rocking chair in the courtyard and doesn't even move, was watching TV with Zhu Miaomiao today with great interest, and he was watching it with such seriousness.

Lu Qingjiu whispered, "Bai Yuehu, Miao Miao, do you want some pumpkin pie?"

Zhu Miaomiao stood up and said happily, "Yes, yes, in the kitchen?"

"Mmm." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's still warm from the frying."

Before Lu Qingjiu could say anything else, Zhu Miaomiao rushed into the kitchen, leaving Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu staring at each other in the living room.

Lu Qingjiu was a little unnerved by Bai Yuehu's look and coughed dryly, "Don't you want to eat?"

Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not hungry yet."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Ha he heard it right Bai Yuehu said he wasn't hungry yet usually when he eats Bai Yuehu is not the most active

Bai Yuehu says: "Do you like boys or girls?"

Lu Qingjiu thought he had misheard and let out a bewildered "What did you say?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Do you like boys or girls," and his voice softened, "I like both."

Lu Qingjiu felt that he must have misunderstood Bai Yuehu's meaning, so although his face was burning at Bai Yuehu's gaze, he replied with a strong sense of composure, "I like both." After saying that, he also added with great integrity, "It's the same for both boys and girls."

Bai Yuehu: "Well, that's also true."

Bai Yuehu's gaze was so hot that Lu Qingjiu dared not continue to look at him, he averted his eyes and asked dryly, "Do you want to eat pumpkin pie?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Good."

Lu Qingjiu fled into the kitchen and saw Zhu Miaomiao and Yin Xun, two pigs still tampering with the pancakes, Zhu Miaomiao stuffing her cheeks and saying vaguely, "Lu Qingjiu, why are you so red?"

Lu Qingjiu: "From watching Animal World."

Zhu Miaomiao: "Are you serious"

Lu Qingjiu: "What else?"

Zhu Miaomiao, who is not at all reserved as a girl, got excited at Lu Qingjiu's words and said, "Then you are too surprised, have you ever seen a mating dolphin?

Lu Qingjiu thought, "I've seen not only dolphins but also slugs, and the purple ones are exciting.

Yin Xun, a child who has never seen the world, listened with amazement: "What dolphins and jj ah dolphins are not fish?" fish are not in vitro fertilization it

"You didn't learn your lesson properly, did you? Dolphins are mammals, known as the rogues of the sea, evil species that don't even spare fish." Zhu Miaomiao excitedly explained to Yin Xun, "Did you know that dolphins in aquariums also prey on their keepers?"

Yin Xun's eyes widened as he listened, and he unconsciously looked at Lu Qingjiu for a moment.

Lu Qingjiu was very sensitive at the moment, and the look in Yin Xun's eyes made his body shiver: "Fuck, what the fuck are you looking at me for?"

Yin Xun said, "I'm just looking around." No, I'm looking at you, it's not because you have a creature that's scarier than a dolphin, that thing is much scarier than a dolphin, at least his father won't even let go of a turtle, tsk, it's great to have a dream for anyone

Lu Qingjiu looked at Yin Xun suspiciously, he didn't believe that Yin Xun was just looking around: " Yin Xun, tell me honestly, do you know something"

Yin Xun gives an idiotic look: "What do you know?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Of course it's about," he was about to say Bai Yuehu, but he noticed that Bai Yuehu had appeared in the kitchen doorway at some point and was looking at the three of them with expressionless faces, discussing the topic of childishness, so he swallowed back his words. "Of course it's about what we're having for lunch."

Yin Xun: "Let's eat fish to nourish our bodies." He looked at Lu Qingjiu with pity.

Lu Qingjiu: ""What the fuck do you mean?

Yin Xun: ""It doesn't mean anything, I'm just concerned about you.

Lu Qingjiu: ""Speak human.

Yin Xun: ""Take care of yourself, your good days are numbered, I'm afraid.

After they made eye contact, Yin Xun reverted to his idiot self and went out with a pumpkin pie to grab Jiang Buhuan to sweep up chicken shit with him.

Zhu Miaomiao was too slow to sense the undercurrents between Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu, but she still felt the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy: "You guys talk, I'm going out to work too."

Lu Qingjiu didn't have time to call out to her before she turned around and went out.

Lu Qingjiu was expecting Bai Yuehu to say something, but instead he saw that the fox spirit just gave him a look and turned to go out too.

Lu Qingjiu was busy saying: " Bai Yuehu "

Bai Yuehu pauses in his steps and turns back with a burning gaze.

Lu Qingjiu whispered, "That you haven't eaten your pumpkin pie yet."

Bai Yuehu :""

Lu Qingjiu: "Eat?"

Bai Yuehu squeezed one word out of his teeth, "Eat."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Just eat it, why are you looking so horrible?

The author has something to say: Lu Qingjiu: I can't have children as a male

Bai Yuehu: There are always more ways than difficulties as long as the mind doesn't slip

Lu Qingjiu.
