Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Do peach blossoms bloom in this season?

Zhou Li was a little surprised when he looked at the flowers blooming outside the window. But he didn't think much about it. He just sighed in his heart that this shabby community actually had greenery, and took out the key to open the security door.

After the security door was opened, Zhou Li pushed it open and walked out. On the mat at the door, Zhou Li took off his shoes, and outside the mat, he had already prepared a pair of worn blue slippers.

Zhou Li put on his slippers as usual and subconsciously looked at the shoe rack. The black cat that usually liked to lie there was gone, so Zhou Li knew that it had probably gone to the garden of Qianyun's house to mess around again.

The blue wind chimes hanging on the window swayed gently, making pleasant sounds. The window was half open, and the summer breeze made people drowsy. Zhou Li walked to the side of the large recliner, looking at Tao Yao curled up and sleeping soundly, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Some messy hair fell neatly on the fair skin, which was as beautiful as peach-colored rice paper in the sun. Zhou Li held his breath, stretched out his hand, and gently pinched the pink and delicate nose.

"Um···"

Tao Yao arched her nose, hummed coquettishly, closed her eyes, and asked softly, "Xiao Li is back?"

"Ah."

Zhou Li smiled and nodded, then sat on a chair beside him and lay down very relaxedly. He looked at the bunch of locust flowers hanging on his head and said slowly:
"Given by Cloud God?"

Tao Yao nodded gently like a kitten, yawned obediently, and then opened her eyes, revealing her light pink eyes. She looked at Zhou Li beside her and smiled, "Who else would give me flowers besides Xiao Bai?"

Zhou Li thought about it and immediately felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement.

Tang Wan would only send a pig's trotter gift bag, and then take advantage of the opportunity to eat a braised pig's trotter. Muscle maniacs like Qian Yun and Zhao Yun would even send protein powder, and Zhou Li was afraid that these two would get pointy heads from working out. Others were even more humorous, but Yun Baibai, a junior sister, was very thoughtful, and would send Tao Yao a seasonal flower at the beginning of every month.

"By the way, will peach blossoms bloom in this season?"

Zhou Li looked at Yanhong outside the window and asked curiously.

"The moon blooms in my hand and smiles in my arms, while the clouds fall asleep early in front of my eyes..."

Perhaps because she had just woken up, or perhaps because she was so cute and innocent when she was with Zhou Li, Tao Yao's lips curled up slightly and she smiled playfully:

"Hey, I forgot the lyrics~"

Zhou Li couldn't help but smile. He rocked on the recliner, feeling very relaxed. Perhaps only here with Taoyao could he not think at all and just lie back and relax.

She stood up, took two cups from the coffee table, poured iced fruit tea into them and placed them in front of Zhou Li. Tao Yao looked at Zhou Li with her chin in her hand and asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so suddenly? Did you skip class again?"

"Just don't go to class."

Zhou Li said righteously, "I am here to monitor whether Ms. Taoyao lives a healthy life every day and whether she cooks and eats well, to prevent some inactive people from using toasted and fried steamed bread slices to fill their stomachs."

"Oh~"

Tao Yao pretended to be flustered and whispered, "Then I won't let the Supervisory Committee succeed, will I? I only had stir-fried potato shreds and mutton soup today."

"Then the Supervisory Committee has failed."

Zhou Li smiled and said, "You eat so healthily, Comrade Taoyao is great~"

Tao Yao's eyes were curved like two beautiful crescent moons. She reached out and rubbed Zhou Li's hair, smiling and saying, "You, you only came to examine your sister, but didn't even bother to report how you are doing."

"That's how I am."

Zhou Li said calmly: "Eat, study, beat Tang Wan, sleep. Eat, beat Tang Wan, study, beat Tang Wan. Eat, beat Tang Wan, study, beat Tang Wan, sleep, and dream of beating Tang Wan with Arhat Fist. And beat..."

"Did Wan'er ever think about her future when she chose to live with you?"

Tao Yao said worriedly, "Don't let her get sick from the beating. Last time she came to our house, she ate one-third less of a bowl of rice. I was worried that she might be suffering from depression."

"?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "That's because he stole my bowl of rice!"

Tao Yao understood immediately, and said in fear: "That's good, I thought she was Yu Yu."

"She Yuyu?"

Zhou Li sneered, "I'd rather believe that the Taoist priest has changed his ways and never makes short videos again."

"Why do you have such a big problem with Xiaoqing shooting a short video?"

Tao Yao asked like a curious baby, "I think her photos are very interesting."

"If she didn't shoot [Zhou Li and Tang Wan's series of short films about mental retardation], I would definitely support her."

Zhou Li said numbly.

Tao Yao laughed out loud immediately. She rubbed Zhou Li's head. This was her expression when she was in a good mood. "Okay, okay, I get it. Next time you come, you can just say that you missed your sister. No need to make these excuses."

In an instant, Zhou Li got angry. He retorted with a red face, saying things like "Then I'm here to review" and "I want to eat, which means I want to eat" and then he said "Brother's thing is not called thinking, it's called talking" and "Can you be a little more vulgar and not so elegant?", which made Tao Yao smile continuously.

After a long time, Zhou Li was comforted by Tao Yao. Looking at Zhou Li swaying on the chair, Tao Yao smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Red stewed fish."

Zhou Li said without thinking: "I also want to eat stir-fried choy sum."

"Okay, I'll do it all for you."

Tao Yao pinched Zhou Li's ears lovingly. She treated this boy who had no blood relationship with her as her own son.

"sister."

Suddenly, Zhou Li asked, "If I had gone to BJ for the college entrance examination, would you have missed me?"

"You are at Jishu University."

Pinching Zhou Li's nose, Tao Yao smiled gently and said, "I will miss you too."

"But···"

Zhou Li's eyes flashed with hesitation, just like any other day, nothing out of the ordinary. He raised his eyes, looked at Tao Yao in front of him, and said softly: "I'll stay here."

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment. She put her long hair behind her ears, and a faint red light flashed in her eyes unconsciously. She pursed her lips and said softly:

"I am your sister. I will miss you whenever you are not around because I love you. But this is not a reason for me to tie you up here. Of course, you have grown up, and I will understand whatever choice you make."

"Even if I stay here?"

Zhou Li asked tentatively: "For example... being a teacher at Jishu University?"

"can."

Tao Yao didn't even think about it and said directly: "Just stay here."

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment. Every time he wanted to stay in Jishu, Tao Yao would refute him and even ignore him for a while and throw a tantrum. But this time, Tao Yao agreed quickly.

It was so fast that Zhou Li couldn't react.

"Sister... do you agree?"

Zhou Li asked tentatively: "I said I would stay in Jishu, not be admitted to Tsinghua University..."

"Stay."

Tao Yao pursed her lips as she brushed her fingers across Zhou Li's cheek. For some reason, her hands were trembling. "Stay in Jishu and keep me company."

"real?!"

Zhou Li was overjoyed, "I really stayed?!"

"I'll explain this to Uncle Huang." Tao Yao said softly, "Don't go to BJ, stay in Jishu."

Zhou Li was a little confused, but more of a surprise. He hugged Tao Yao and said with a smile: "Sister, you are such a good person!"

"How come there is such a dialect?"

Tao Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go cook for you."

Zhou Li nodded, took out his phone and started to tell his friends the good news. Tao Yao looked at the phone in Zhou Li's hand, then stood up and subconsciously supported the back of the chair.

Tao Yao's gaze fell on the wind chime, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

Walking into the kitchen, Tao Yao skillfully prepared the food. After a while, Zhou Li put down his phone and also came into the kitchen.

"Hey, why isn't it on fire?"

Tao Yao turned the knob on the gas stove, feeling a little confused.

Zhou Li smiled and shook his head, then walked to the pipe and turned on the main switch. Tao Yao tried again, and the flames under the pot licked the iron pot.

"Hey."

Tao Yao smiled playfully, "I forgot."

Zhou Li shrugged, thinking that Tao Yao just had a bad memory. But soon, he felt something strange again.

"elder sister."

Suddenly, Zhou Li said, "Have you been watching Legend of Zhen Huan again recently?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan?"

Tao Yao blinked, confused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yeah, yes, I saw it again."

Zhou Li looked at Tao Yao, then smiled, "I knew it, your speech is weird, like someone from ancient times."

After that, Zhou Li looked in the bathroom and found that the light bulb was broken again. He took out a new light bulb from his bag, shook it, and said to Tao Yao, "Sister, I'll go change the light bulb for you."

“Blind purchase.”

Tao Yao smiled and shook her head, "It can be used, it's just that the electricity has been unstable recently."

"What's going on?"

Zhou Li said nonchalantly: "I'll buy it."

"Buy it, buy it."

Tao Yao still had that peaceful smile on her face, "I can never win against you."

Zhou Li smiled, turned around, and went to the bathroom to change the light bulb.

In the kitchen, Tao lifted the iron pot and put it aside. She stared at the dancing flames intently for a long time, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"If you go there, I will destroy your soul."

The flame trembled, as if...
In fear.

Yun Baibai adjusted her glasses and put away her notebook. She rubbed her eyes and looked out the window.

Ok?
She blinked, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes. Outside the window, a figure seemed to flash past, leaving a peach petal on the window sill.

Yun Baibai quickly put down the notebook in his hand, ran to the window, opened the window, and picked up the petal.

Are there peach blossoms in August?
What she didn't see was that the moment she picked up the peach blossom, the black shadow instantly dissolved and disappeared like mud touching water.

Blinking, Yun Baibai, who was studying spiritual energy in the Imperial Academy, looked around blankly, and his feet wrapped in white socks curled up unconsciously.

She reached out her hand and subconsciously touched the area beside her eyes. Yun Baibai blinked, not realizing for a moment why she did that.

The peach blossom fell into the tea. Zhu Qianyun and Zhao Yun looked at each other, smiled, and drank it all. The black cat beside them was licking the water in the bowl. When it saw the peach blossom, it was also stunned for a moment, but did not think much about it.

Zhu Qianyun came back to her senses and handed a file to a little demon. This was the last file she was responsible for. After that, she didn't need to worry about the affairs of the Demon Management Bureau.

I shook my palms, and there seemed to be a lingering scent of peach blossoms.

Zhao Yun, who was sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, slowly opened her eyes. The rushing water continued to wash over her body. She frowned slightly, and the long spears on her legs flashed a faint peach blossom luster, which disappeared in an instant.

She seemed... to see Qianyun?

The black cat stared at the screaming Liu Kuang without blinking, Zhuge Qing on the side was concentrating on controlling the photo stone, and the old Taoist priest was focusing on solving a world-class hemorrhoid problem.

Zhou Li and Tao Yao sat face to face at the dinner table. Tao Yao held her cheek with her hands, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at Zhou Li who was feasting on his food.

"Sister, what happened to you today?"

As if noticing Tao Yao's gaze, Zhou Li raised his head and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me? Is there a bug on my face?"

“It has a nose, a mouth, eyes and eyebrows.”

Tao Yao said with a normal smile.

Zhou Li made a face and then continued to eat the fish in front of him.

The wind chimes swayed gently, and the crisp sound was bright and soft. The summer wind blew Tao Yao's hair a little messy. She looked at Zhou Li and said softly for some reason:

"Xiao Li."

"Ok?"

Zhou Li raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I will wait for you."

Reaching out her hand, she gently rubbed Zhou Li's cheek, and there was only tenderness left in Tao Yao's eyes.

"Ten days, ten months, ten years, a hundred thousand years, I will wait."

Zhou Li was confused.

"Sister, why are you suddenly saying this?"

For some reason, Zhou Li felt a little flustered. He looked at Tao Yao and asked quickly, "Sister, why are you saying this? What are you going to do?"

"nothing."

Tao Yao smiled gently, just like a blooming peach blossom, beautiful beyond measure, yet with a fragile beauty that was about to wither. She stretched out her hand, hooked Zhou Li's finger, and whispered, "Just... make a belated promise with you."

"Don't worry, I'm on time."

The moment the words fell, the flames were covered by peach blossoms. The flowers that were originally burning fiercely became as gentle and heavy as water, extinguishing the flames.

Zhou Li opened his eyes and found himself standing on the ground of an ordinary building. He touched his head and felt like he had met someone. His mind was filled with peace of mind and gentleness, but there was also an indescribable melancholy.

What did I... encounter?
The original ashes had disappeared, replaced by invisible broken peach petals. Zhou Li stretched out his hand, but received nothing, but it gave him a little peace of mind.

is it you?
His eyes fell in the direction of Beiliang. Zhou Li sighed lightly and said nothing.

At this moment, Tang Wan suddenly opened his eyes and said in horror:
"Where's my elbow?!"

Tang Wan turned around and looked around. After a moment of thinking, she said angrily:
"Where's my elbow?!!!!!!" (End of this chapter)
