Ji Ping'an snorted and turned to look at Xu Yuanyun, who turned his head sideways and imitated the burning on the back of the Holy Son's head.

"..." He spent a lot of money to buy a balsam flower and handed it over hesitantly:

"I think peony is better, but it's a bit out of season."

Xu Yuanyun raised his hand to grab the impatiens flower, sniffed it, said "En", and raised the corners of his mouth:

"I like them all."

After a moment of silence, Ji Ping'an looked up at the sky and said:

"It's a bit late, why don't you go back?"

Along the way, the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention the "business" about rebirth. Perhaps they both wanted to leave those bad things until tomorrow. As for tonight, they only talked about romance.

Xu Yuanyun suddenly raised his head and pointed at an inn ahead:

"Look at this, this store is still there."

Ji Ping'an looked up and saw that it was indeed the century-old store. Now there were red lanterns hanging at the door and it was open for business.

Xu Yuanyun suddenly said:

"Go and have a look, see if your original room is still there and what it looks like."

After saying that, without waiting for his response, he rushed over immediately. Ji Ping'an had no choice but to follow him.

The shopkeeper in the lobby on the first floor of the inn was standing behind the counter, pounding his abacus. When he saw a man and woman coming in, he quickly raised his head and smiled:

"Are you two guests going to stay in the hotel?"

Xu Yuanyun said: "Is Room No. 3 in Tianzi still there?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It's still empty."

Xu Yuanyun took out a silver ingot from his purse, threw it out with a clang, and said, "Bring the key."

"...Okay, okay." The shopkeeper obviously rarely saw such a arrogant customer, and she was a female customer. He couldn't help but look at Ji Pingan with a strange look, feeling a little envious.

Ji Ping'an opened his mouth and explained: "Actually, I..."

But halfway through the words, he was dragged upstairs by force. The old shopkeeper was amazed when he saw:

"Now this young man..."

…

Room No. 3, Tianzi.

When the door lock is unlocked and the door is pushed open, a clean and elegant house appears. When Xu Yuanyun lights the oil lamp and the room becomes brighter, the details become clear.

"It's the same as before." She sighed softly.

Ji Ping'an was also a little touched and was reborn several times, but he would still be particularly happy every time he saw something that had remained unchanged over a long period of time.

And coincidentally, in this era where time is very slow, such things are not particularly scarce.

Brown round table, round stool, blue and white teapot and cups, bed covered with clean bedding, and the river view outside the window...

Ji Ping'an walked to the window and pushed it open. He saw the dots of light in the night wind outside, the Qinhuai River surging in the darkness, and listened to the vague and non-existent orchestral sound in the distant direction. He was a little distracted.

Dreaming back to those days.

I remember that on the same quiet and beautiful night, I returned from the boat carrying wine and meat, and it was in this house that I met Xu Yuanyun for the last time in his life.

With the breeze blowing on his face, Ji Ping'an seemed to hear the sound of the door closing in a daze.

Then, a soft body suddenly hugged him from behind.

"You..." Ji Pingan's voice changed slightly, and he was about to turn around, but he heard Xu Yuanyun's voice coming from behind him: "Don't move."

"..." Ji Pingan had no choice but to stay still, with nowhere to place his hands. In silence, he turned his head slightly and looked at the full-length mirror erected in the corner next to the room.

The mirror... was also invented by him.

At this moment, the mirror reflected the woman who was clinging to him, her side face firmly pressed against his back.

Xu Yuanyun's long skirt looked like water in the moonlight, and her fair and delicate face was covered with an intoxicating blush.

The two of them were leaning against each other like this, and the temperature of the air seemed to be rising. Gradually, they could only hear each other's rapid heartbeats and breathing.

Finally, Xu Yuanyun said softly: "This time, I won't let you run away again."

Ji Ping'an's Adam's apple rolled and he said, "I don't want to run away."

Xu Yuanyun hugged her tighter and said softly but firmly: "How about we be Taoist couples?"

She said this sentence more than two hundred years ago, and now this is the second time.

Without waiting for Ji Pingan's answer, she continued:

"Last time, you said I was too young, but now I am hundreds of years old."

"Last time, you said that I had too little experience and fell in love with someone shallow and close when I saw them. But this time, after I looked at them for a long time, I still feel that no one is as good as you."

"Last time, you asked me to think calmly. I have been thinking about it for more than two hundred years, and I still think so."

After a pause, Xu Yuanyun suddenly raised his head, stared at Ji Pingan's back with his chin, and said:

"Now, do you still want to reject me?"

Ji Ping'an was silent for a moment, and then suddenly used his hand to break open the hand she was holding on him. Xu Yuanyun's face turned visibly pale, and then he was filled with deep disappointment and self-deprecation.

However, the next second, Ji Pingan turned around and looked down at the woman close at hand, looking at her unfamiliar face and familiar eyes.

Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as ever. Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as jade, and her black hair was slightly messy, adding a touch of charm to this delicate face.

The two of them were so close that the air they breathed came out of each other's mouth and nose.

There was a breeze blowing in from the window, and the delicate girl's green hair also moved with it, like a fresh lotus or a thin willow.

Ji Ping'an stared at her black button-like eyes and said:

"I left a lot of regrets in the past, but after this rebirth, I changed some of my ideas. I found that some of the concepts in the past may not be correct. Perhaps only after losing them can I realize this more clearly."

Xu Yuanyun's heart was beating fast, she bit her lips, and her eyes lit up:

"so?"

Ji Ping'an said: "This time, I don't want to leave any regrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands suddenly wrapped around her slim waist, very hard, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Chi..." Amidst the sound of the cloth breaking and the exclamation, Xu Yuanyun felt his body light up, being picked up by a pair of strong arms, and pressed down on the bed like a cloud.

In the process, she was also unfamiliar, clumsy and anxious, pulling off Ji Ping'an's belt and taking off his Taoist robe.

In the blink of an eye, pieces of clothing were thrown onto the spotless floor:

Robe, belt, shoes and socks, blouse, silk pants...

Suddenly, the entangled two parties stopped. Xu Yuanyun gasped for air and lay on the soft brocade. His black hair was scattered like clouds, and his face was particularly soft and pitiful.

Feeling the heaviness on her body, she looked at Ji Ping'an with her bright black eyes, showing both shyness and pleading:

"Lights out..."

Ji Ping'an didn't move, he just raised his left hand and struck out with a palm wind. The flame of the oil lamp on the table flickered and went out with a "pop" sound.

"Close the window..."

"Need not……"

Then, Ji Ping'an pinched the corner of the quilt and shook it hard. With a "crash" sound, the quilt spread out, covering everything.
