The Flame of the Versatile Mage

(ps: This chapter was contributed by Huanshang, a book friend group)

In the twilight morning, the rising sun spreads soft golden light onto the wide streets. Facing the comfortable morning breeze, vendors have laid out various special breakfasts early, waiting for the hungry working people to come and reward them.

A dry stomach.

"Pancake fruit, freshly baked pancake fruit!"

"Pancake rolled green onions, authentic green onions from Qilu, one stick is higher than the roof of your house!"

“Tofu curd, roujiamo, and egg burrito wrapped in sauce!”

“Hand-made noodles! Fresh hand-made noodles that are freshly pulled and cooked!”

Various hawkers with strong hometown accents are intertwined together, forming a quiet and peaceful morning in Luoye City.

In August, the goose-yellow sweet-scented osmanthus forms a plump cluster, hanging upside down from the branches like a tower-shaped lantern. The elegant fragrance and warm gentle breeze are swept into the half-open window sash, and the sunshine pours into a stylish room.

In the heart of the sleeping boy.

The young man was born with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and a slender body that was powerful. There is a saying that "raise your wine glass and look at the blue sky with your white eyes, which are as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind."

The young man turned over lazily, opened his eyes in the soft morning light, and glanced dimly at the alarm clock placed by the bedside.

"Oh my god! It's already this time! Xiaoyu must be waiting impatiently!!"

Not caring about tidying up the messy bed, the boy hurriedly jumped out of the bed, completely unaware that the drooped pajamas were unwillingly entangled with the corner of the quilt, so...

"Ouch..."

There was a red magpie parked on a branch outside the window. While combing its neat and smooth fur, it made a sweet call, seeming to laugh at the frizzy young man in front of it.

Putting on the casual sweatshirt and trousers he carefully selected last night, the boy turned into a gust of wind and rushed out of the room.

"Mom, I won't be back for lunch. Let's check it out in the evening!" The young man walked through the huge living room in a few steps. When he passed the dining table, he picked up a piece of bread with fried eggs and ham, and held it in his mouth without looking back.

He ran towards the door, mumbling something vague as he ran.

"Looking at how careless you are, are you late for your date with Xiaoyu?" A charming young woman wearing an apron stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula in one hand and a pan in the other, skillfully cooking.

While eating breakfast, she said without raising her head when she heard the various noises made by the boy.

"Mom, what are you talking about? We just went on a date. We just went to the spiritual market together. Don't think too much about it!" After hearing the woman's words, the boy's face grimaced.

He turned red, and his tone was no longer as calm as usual, but instead contained a rare hint of shame.

"Tsk, tsk, it's good to be young~" The woman shook her head as if laughing, and her lips unconsciously raised a curve.

"What are you talking about, Mom, you are still very young and beautiful!" The boy held the bread in his mouth and hurriedly tied his shoelaces. Then he glanced at the mirror hanging in the corridor as if he cared.

When his eyes focused on the clean and handsome figure in the mirror, he realized that he usually didn't look in the mirror when he went out. Why was it so abnormal today?

Recalling what his mother said, the boy's face turned red again!

"Damn it, you said it wasn't a date!!" He said these words angrily, and the young man rushed out of the door. Looking at the panicked back, it seemed that he was running away.

"Well, it seems that I didn't remind him about wearing his pants inside out... Forget it, let Tai figure it out on his own!" The woman smiled slyly, revealing her girlish side.

It seems that she is also a mother who doesn't make people worry.

Returning to the young man, he didn't notice anything wrong at all. He glanced at the pointer on his wrist that had jumped to 4, and felt distressed in his heart.

"It's over, it's already twenty minutes late. I'm afraid Xiaoyu will let the little lion peel off my skin when we meet her... Probably not. Even if she can do it, the little lion will do it.

Don’t come out, after all, I fed it a lot of delicious food!”

As the young man galloped towards the agreed place, his heart was beating uneasily.

In the early morning, the sky is clear and clear, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus overflows.

When the boy stepped onto the central square, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by a picture.

The morning light was dim, and the golden and soft sunlight shone through the towering skyscrapers to the central square. A slim and graceful girl stood in the morning light, her silky hair like a waterfall flying in the wind, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

The girl's skin is as white as snow, her crescent eyebrows are like hooks, her starry eyes are clear, her nose is pretty, her lips are soft, and her chin is smooth. She looks like a charming beauty. Her beautiful eyes seem to be full of glances and frowns.

Showcasing the unparalleled elegance.

At this time, the fairy-like girl in the painting was puffing up her tender cheeks as if she was dissatisfied, folding her two little hands in front of her chest, and slightly pouting her lips, showing a bulging look.

It looks a bit charming and cute.

This appearance naturally attracted passers-by to look sideways, but when the girl looked at her, they flinched and looked away. It seemed that they did not have the courage to look at the girl, but they secretly looked at her afterwards, intoxicated.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the young man couldn't help but froze, so much so that his tall stature made him look like a piece of uncarved wood.

So, the girl saw the young man who stood out like a chicken at a glance, and joy suddenly emerged in his plain eyes. The radiance that was born in that moment was actually more dazzling than the sun, but soon this joy was wiped out.

Replaced by anger.

So, she came to the young man as if to accuse him, and gave him a slap on the head in front of everyone's astonished eyes.

"Ouch!" The young man suddenly woke up from his sluggish state, touched his sore forehead, and gradually focused his eyes on the angry girl in front of him like an angry kitten.

"You, a bad guy who has no sense of time, still know pain? Look at what time it is!" The girl stomped her feet dissatisfied, stretched out her white wrist, and turned the hand on the watch to almost six.

Show it to the teenager.

I don't know whether he didn't sleep well last night, or he was a little dizzy due to the sweet-scented osmanthus this morning, or he was amazed by the girl's appearance, but the young man gave a clueless answer that had nothing to do with the question.

"You...you are so beautiful today..." The young man covered his forehead and said this without any warning.

It is conceivable how lethal this illogical truth accidentally spoken by a young man can be, so...

"You...what are you talking about, you idiot...how...how did you suddenly..." As expected, the girl's cheeks suddenly turned red.

The anger was replaced by a sudden panic, and the eyes that were originally fixed on the young man who was about to launch an attack to accuse him also started to wander. Amid all the expressions of shame, there was actually a trace of secret joy that he was not aware of.

"Ah, I'm sorry...I...did I say something very rude?" The young man seemed to be waking up from a dream, scratching his head and looking at the pretty and shy girl in front of him, but he actually said such nonsensical words.

, seemed to have no intention of taking any responsibility for the astonishing statement just made.

"You...you stupid head! If you keep doing this, I won't pay attention to you!" The girl listened to the young man's speech in astonishment, and then transitioned from anger to embarrassment, and hit him hard with a hook finger.

There was a crisp 'bang' sound on the young man's forehead.

"Ah, Xiaoyu, don't be angry, I'm wrong..." The young man rubbed his forehead that turned red again, showing his innate desire to survive. He didn't know what he had done wrong.

Next, just apologize first.

"Really... Really you guy... I'm hungry, please ask me to eat tamagoyaki! Only then will I consider forgiving you!" The girl puffed up her cheeks again and twisted her head.

On the side, he said angrily.

"Well, let's go, I know a restaurant that makes very good tamagoyaki, just open it and eat as you like!"

"Humph, this attitude is pretty much the same. Seeing how sincere you are, I'll forgive you magnanimously for now!"

"But seriously Xiaoyu, won't you gain weight if you eat something so greasy so early in the morning?"

"I want you to take care of the elm head!"

.....

Spending time with the person you love always goes very quickly. Amid the bustling, laughing and joking of the two and the eager gazes of passers-by, the time came to the evening.

The setting sun hung slantingly, casting a rouge-colored brilliance. The clouds on the horizon were dyed with a burning halo, and an elegant glowing moon climbed up into the sky, dotted with a few faint rays of starlight.

The flushed glow crossed the top of the mountain, stretching the two figures walking side by side.

"...That overestimating Yu Ang still wants to trap me with a frozen coffin. It's simply a wishful thinking! Don't even look at who I am, I'm famous..." One of the tall figures said to one side

Chewing fried rice cakes while talking loudly.

"You are a well-known master hunter who is well-known to women and children. Really, I can recite everything you said backwards!" The delicate figure next to me responded helplessly, and sipped very elegantly.

He took a sip of the milk tea in his hand.

"Have I mentioned it so many times..." The young man scratched his head and said unconsciously.

"Yes, your title is the same every time. If you don't say this, watch me step on your shadow!" The girl pouted her little mouth, then with a thought in her mind, she raised her jade leg and stepped on the shadow of the boy beside her.

.

"Please, Miss Bai, how old are you and still playing such childish games..." The young man stroked his forehead helplessly, covering his sly smile.

"How childish, really, just don't play with me..." The girl pursed her lips slightly, seeming to feel that her behavior was a bit childish, but she didn't want to admit it, so she strode forward as if she was angry.

Lifting up her jade legs, she cast a straight shadow in the sunset.

"...You've been fooled, idiot Xiaoyu, look at my shadow with a radius of twenty meters!" As soon as the voice changed, the boy rushed to the girl with an expression of success, and stepped on her shadow continuously.

Go down.

"You...you don't have martial ethics!" The girl was startled and angrily chased the young man, trying to get in front of him and step on his shadow.

In this way, two innocent and romantic shadows ran freely under the sunset, ignoring everything around them, ignoring time and space, and ignoring all worries and sorrows.

As night falls, the lights begin to turn on, and the gorgeous neon lights embellish the monotonous night with illusory neon clothes. From a distance, it looks like a layer of gauze quietly hanging down.

On a grassland in the sky on the mountain in the city, two figures sat side by side, admiring the night view of the city from above. The hustle and bustle of the pavilions and pavilions could not be transmitted to this world that belonged to the two of them. The only thing that accompanied them was passing by.

The night wind and a little bit of insect chirping in my ears.

"Xiaoyu, look at that star with a ring over there, that's Saturn!" The young man raised his hand and pointed to a star with a ring next to the moon and said.

"Huh!" However, the girl did not look up, but turned her head to the side, looking angry.

"You are still angry with me, haven't I apologized..." It seems that the meeting in the afternoon really made the girl angry, so much so that she has not calmed down even now.

"Hmph!" However, the girl just hummed to herself and had no intention of answering the boy.

"I was wrong. I won't call you childish next time. My Xiaoyu is the cutest and most mature one!" the young man quickly flattered.

"Thick... shameless, who is from your family! I don't want to forgive you!" The boy's words made the girl's face turn slightly red, but she was no longer as resistant as in the morning.

"Then...then you can beat me up. You can beat me up and use me as a punching bag!" The young man had no choice but to say in a low voice. At the same time, he was a little nervous inside and seemed to be ready to be beaten.

.

"Well, that's what you said!" Upon hearing this, the girl who turned away slightly smiled, but the boy did not see it.

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Come on, if you are still angry with me, use me as a punching bag!" As he said that, the young man closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, waiting for the moment when the punishment would come.

Closing his eyes, the boy's skin tightened. Although he knew that the girl would not really hit him hard, but... who knew how powerful she was. Forget it, he was the one who committed the first offense anyway.

It's okay to let her beat me to vent her anger, otherwise it's not okay to keep holding in her anger until it gets bad!

The young man's mind was filled with thoughts, but he suddenly smelled the scent of iris approaching him quickly. This was the scent of the girl's perfume. It was elegant and had a sweet fragrance. This made his heart tighten.

!

The next moment, the young man felt as if his cheek was pecked by a tender petal like a dragonfly. In an instant, he felt an electric shock-like numbness and an unnatural stiffness spreading throughout his body from the point of contact.

"You...you just...you just..." The young man opened his eyes in shock, the amazing feeling just now replayed endlessly in his mind, and his heartbeat increased rapidly like a drum.

"Huh... Huh! I'm taking advantage of you!" The girl turned her head to the side, her tone was arrogant with a hint of shame, which made the boy's heart beat faster.

"Xiaoyu..." The young man gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision that was as difficult as the sky.

"What...what are you doing!" The girl didn't look at the boy, because her little face was as red as a ripe apple, and it was still getting hot. It seemed that the action just now cost her a lot of money.

Kung fu and determination.

"I...I...I..." However, at the critical moment, the boy seemed to start to lose his temper.

"Really... really... such a big man is so... so grinding..." It seemed that he had guessed what the young man wanted to say, and there was already a trace of it in the girl's brave words.

Trembling.

"Huh...Xiaoyu...please...do...be my girlfriend!!!" The young man took a deep breath and almost yelled out the words that had been stuck in his heart for a long time.

It's not big, but it can be seen that it used all its strength.

"No!" However, to the boy's surprise, the girl refused without hesitation.

"No...can't..." The rejected boy's tone dropped off a cliff. After the words were spoken, he seemed to be crying a little bit, but it could be heard that he was trying hard.

Restrained.

"Idiot! Big idiot! Big idiot!! Because I want to spend my whole life with you!!!" Suddenly, the girl turned her head and looked at the boy with tearful eyes. She pounced on the boy like a kitten that had been wronged in some way.

In her arms, she hugged his neck tightly.

The boy's body stiffened, and his bitter tears were infected by some kind of super-speeding emotion that filled his heart. A drop of hot tears fell down his eyes. He didn't know why he was crying, and he didn't know why his heart was beating faster than a pulsar.

Hurry, he only knew that he should hold the girl who fell into his arms tightly and not let go for a moment.

Under the elegant moonlight, a pair of lovers hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their bodies. The fiery emotions seemed to turn into substance, break through the constraints, and leap into the boundless starry sky.

Congcheng, Li family.

Huang Ya, who looked at the pointer pointing to half past ten, shook her head slightly and sighed helplessly...

"It's great to be young~"

Through her back, you can clearly see the slightly upturned corners of her mouth and her inexplicably brisk steps.
