C21 (1/2)

I was woken up by the sun, milky white with a little orange light, I looked at the light spots on the roof, suddenly a little sluggish.

It seemed like the last century, and if I hadn't been living in the master's house, I would have thought I'd had a long dream.

I washed up and looked at the time. Although the roof was very bright, it was only six in the morning.

”It's so early. Has Master woken up yet?” I slowly walked to the hall and prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. However, I found that there were already people busy in the kitchen.

”Master, why are you up so early?” ”I thought I'd troubled you yesterday and wanted to make you breakfast to make up for it!”

”I was drunk yesterday and was able to wake up in my own bed today. I didn't know how to trouble Master yesterday, so let me do it.” You... ”Who are you?”

The person in front of me isn't Master Xia, but a young man who isn't a few years older than me, moreover … It was an unexpected and very good-looking young man.

Under the sunlight, his clean short hair actually seemed a little dark blue. He had a tall, heroic nose and bright red lips. These were both rare moments of beauty. However, what attracted the most attention was his eyes.

I have seen the eyes of many people, Feng Tian Yu's tyranny, and Gu You Ran's gentleness, but the person in front of me is quiet without any ripples, like a pool of stagnant water.

”Little girl, you're up?”

The spring breeze blowing from an unknown place wrinkled the stagnant water in his eyes and illuminated the warm morning light in his eyes. Afterwards, the corners of his mouth quietly blew upwards, and in the end, swirled into his shallow dimples.

I nodded my head mechanically and took the plate from him before bringing it to the dining table mechanically.

I am indeed still too young. Silence like stagnant water, simply the warmest sun in winter.

”Do you know me, please?”

”I am Xia Mingyuan, I will protect you!”

”Hmm?!” These words that didn't come out of nowhere made my head spin. Protect me? Did he know about Feng Tian Yu's matter? But I've only told Master about this before … Could it be …

”You are my master? Master Xia? ” Xia Mingyuan, Master Xia? But Master is clearly an old man!

”You're very smart, lass. What, are you this shocked by my true appearance?”

Half an hour later, while I was eating breakfast and questioning him, I finally figured it out.

”Master, since you have always been using spells to maintain your appearance, why did you change back?”

After eating the last mouthful of congee, Xia Mingyuan casually wiped his mouth with a napkin before raising his head to look at me.

”Little girl, I have already lived for three hundred years. Do you really think that I have maintained myself for the past three hundred years? How can a person like me, who often appears in the eyes of the police, not die of sickness or sickness? ”

”Are you saying that you're going to use your true appearance to tell the world that Master Xia is dead?”

Xia Mingyuan nodded, he took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to me, ”You don't have to die, it can be said that he's gone into seclusion, but this person definitely can't appear in front of the world again. Fortunately, he pulled you out from the crowd yesterday, everyone can believe what you say …”

Speaking of what happened yesterday, I noticed that Xia Mingyuan's eyes weren't very nice, and there was a hint of anger in them.

Did I get into trouble yesterday? He had never been drunk before, nor did he understand his own wine. Could it be that he had offended him in some way?
