Yan Lanyu's 18th birthday is finally about to be held.
Yan Xiaoge has been very low-key since entering the special place. He doesn't say a word and walks a step further, silently bowing his head to do his own thing. Yu Jingzhong only found out his birthday when he looked at his files. He wanted to invite everyone to gather together, but he was repeatedly delayed because of the Asura tribe’s massive invasion of the Human Boundary Monument and subsequent Phoenix Nirvana.
Now Zhou Hui finally returns from Hell Buzhou Mountain, and the little phoenix has also transformed into form. Even Zhang Shun and Jialou Luo are staying in the human world, gathering together like never before. In the next year, the Spring Festival was approaching, and Yu Fu finally became embarrassed about the embezzlement of public funds. He wanted to take this opportunity to bring everyone together to celebrate his birthday and the New Year.
Everyone agreed. Li Hu hung on Zhang Shun's arm and asked, "But isn't the birthday of Little Beauty? Isn't it okay?"
"The birthday on his file was the day when he was picked up by the Tantric Sect when he was a child. It was originally a fake." While checking the New Year's Eve price of the suburban hot spring hotel with his mobile phone, Mr. Yu said, "It's okay. From then on, his birthday is New Year’s Eve is 30, turn back to remind me to change his file."
Zhang Shun and Li Hu looked at each other, the former asked in a low voice: "How do I feel that Yu Fu has become less and less persuaded recently..."
"I don't know, even the public money was made for eating and drinking. Maybe the fish died and the net broke." Li Hu surreptitiously said: "I heard Zhou Hui said that Yu Fu wanted to get the party expenses back to the unit for reimbursement, so I hesitated over and over again. Yue, when the final decision was made, the whole person was reborn, as if he had been born anew... Maybe he would be transformed into a corrupt official from then on. The small step he took today is that in the future the whole special place will go to the darkness of corruption* public money eating and drinking. A big step in the abyss."
Zhang Shunshen agreed, and nodded again and again. Next to him, Wu Bei, Yansan, Shenwantiansi and others looked impatiently.

Yu Jingzhong finally decided on a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing. Through his acquaintances, he booked a few private courtyards and took everyone out for dinner, hot springs, fireworks, and Chinese New Year gala.
The masses eagerly asked to participate, singing their praises, unanimously saying that Yu Fu is really getting more and more men, and if he continues to do so, he will overtake Zhou Hui.
The New Year's Eve is getting closer, and supernatural events across the country are becoming rarer. Most of the team members are idle and doing nothing, holding tea cups and chatting between offices all day long. Comrade Wu·Soul Poet·North brought a few large sacks of Northeast specialty products to Beijing, and distributed antler and wild ginseng in a special place. That afternoon, the entire building turned into a sea of joy.
Situ Yingzhi and Li Hu went to the streets to scan the goods together. Li Hu bought seven or eight new swimsuits for this hot spring bath. After seeing it, many female team members expressed that the sixth team leader's taste is extraordinary, but it feels not right to share the locker room with the team leader. There seems to be something weird.
Yan Lanyu received countless birthday blessings, which was unprecedented in the first seventeen years of his life, and he was flattered to the point of embarrassment. This level reached its peak when Jialouluo gave him a birthday present-Jialouluo had no money for Wannian, so it is better to be generous with Yansan and Wu Bei. After thinking about it, I don’t know what I can give it. A brilliant golden feather was plucked from the original body. The huge feathers of the Dapeng Golden Winged Bird were almost as tall as a person. Little Brother Yan was almost exhausted before he vomited blood before carrying it back to the office. It was dazzling behind the door, dazzling countless people's titanium alloy dog eyes.
In the enthusiastic atmosphere of everyone, only Zhou Hui seemed a little withdrawn.
Because Phoenix still showed no signs of waking up, and during this time, it burned twice.
The first time it was when Zhou Hui was feeding water, it suddenly burnt up, and golden red flames gushed out of the seven orifices, instantly enveloped the whole body, and then suddenly extinguished after a few minutes. The second time was in the middle of the night, the brightness of the flames abruptly awakened Zhou Hui from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, Xiao Fenghuang unexpectedly fell off the bed, then staggered up and stumbled towards the door.
Zhou Hui dashed up, saw the face of the little phoenix wrapped in flames blurry, and vaguely saw an expression that was convulsive to a bit cold-it was completely an adult expression, and appeared on the child's face even more. People shudder. Zhou Hui didn't know what he was dreaming about, so he could only do his best to stop him from walking outside. After struggling for a long time without saying a word, Xiao Fenghuang was cut on the back of his neck and lost consciousness.
After these two episodes, Phoenix's body grew rapidly, almost reaching the size of a 13 or 14-year-old child. His bones began to show the obvious characteristics of a pre-nirvana adult body, hollow, light, and extremely rigid, making him very light.
His facial features are getting more and more out of the milky immature, vaguely revealing the outline of the year, his eyes closed and his complexion is pale, looking thin and tired.
Zhou Hui doesn’t know when the next time it burns up. All Phoenix’s growth process is random. Even if he secretly arranges before Nirvana, no one knows what his plan is and will follow What pace to walk around.
He is such a person. When he loses enough trust, he doesn't say anything, leaving all his plans and secrets buried for a long time.
Zhou Hui doesn't know what to do, everything can only wait.
·
At first, Zhou Hui didn’t want to go to the hot spring for the New Year’s Eve. Later, a group of people went into battle and strongly persuaded him to go. Yu Fu also booked a honeymoon suite separately so that Little Phoenix could rest quietly. Zhou Hui only relaxed. Speak up.
As a result, on that day, a few cars drove to the hot spring hotel, and the conditions were quite good. The terrace of the room faces the huge artificial garden and golf course. There are sauna, spa and massage chairs in the garden. The stone path leads to the hot spring pool shaded by the bamboo forest. After getting the room card, everyone huffed and broke away. There were those who had an appointment to play mahjong for the spa, and those who jumped into the hot spring like plopping dumplings. Yu Fu and Jialoulu carried the three-layer cake into the yard, preparing to cut it while watching the fireworks after dinner.
Little Phoenix enjoys special treatment and enjoys exclusive couple suite with Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui hugged him into the room. The big bed was sprinkled with red rose petals, and a white towel was used to make a cross-necked swan shape. It was very romantic in the light of the lights, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Which pot is not opened or which pot..." He sighed and gently put the little Phoenix on the bed.
Little Phoenix's forehead was against Zhou Hui's palm, and he looked very gentle, and his temples reflected the whiteness of his cheeks as snow, even a little pitiful.
Even the ancient sacred bird inevitably grows pain when he is in the human body. While the bones mature rapidly, the pain in the joints and other places has been torturing him. Even if he can't say it, he will often show pain and depression in his sleep.
Zhou Hui sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night to massage him, gently smoothing the folds of his brows, and then leaning over to make a gentle and patient kiss.
"Come back soon..." He said gently, rubbing the cold and delicate cheeks of Little Phoenix with the bridge of his nose, "Even if it is your thing forever, you can't really make people wait forever."
Little Phoenix may feel something in his sleep, shrinking his head sensitively.
Zhou Hui looked at him, and suddenly found a hidden and shy smile on the corner of his lips, and then buried his face in the pillow, as if secretly having a good dream.
——He has slept for so long, this is the first time that he has a happy expression instead of pain.
Zhou Hui couldn't help being stunned.
·
Supper was eaten in a glass greenhouse in the garden. Yu Jingzhong took a few team leaders and non-staff personnel such as Yan Lanyu, Zhang Shun, and Jialouluo. The group treated each other as if they had not eaten or drank public funds in 800 years. Getting drunk, Li Hu almost climbed to the table to perform a striptease, but Zhang Shun picked up a plate and knocked it down in the air, and fell under the table with a snap.
Galuda was calm at all times, sitting at the table playing with his mobile phone, and suddenly raised the camera to click on the little Phoenix in Zhou Hui's arms.
Zhou Hui sensitively brought Little Phoenix behind him: "What are you doing?"
Galuda did not answer, lowered his hair on WeChat. Zhou Hui immediately twitched when he saw the corner of his mouth, and saw that the head of the recipient was a peacock with a golden light and a roaring sky.
"Maha wants to see what his mother looks like after her incarnation." Garuda explained, "If you don't show it to him, maybe he will go to the human world to eat New Year's Eve dinner. You don't want to be like that."
Zhou Hui: "..."
The photo was posted, and a reply came after three seconds. Maha couldn't type, but only spoke, and asked proudly: "Mother, I saw it. Who is the ugly girl behind him?"
Zhou Hui: "………………"
·
After the meal, everyone started to cut the cake, surrounded Yan Lanyu in the middle and sang the birthday song, booed three wishes, and had to say it out loud. Yan Lanyu was rather embarrassed. After blushing for a long time, he promised the first one, wishing that every year is like this, every year is right now, and there will always be good people.
Li Hu said: "Cut-I don't understand! It's simpler! Would you like me to sing an eighteen touch for you?"
Situ Yingzhi was drunk and said: "Little Beauty Li doesn't know how to pull, ask Lao Yu to give money every year, and everyone will come to high pull together..."
Without a word, Yu Jingzhong slapped Li Hu and Situ under the table and didn't climb up for a long time.
"The second... the second wish is to discount the hotel," Yan Lanyu hesitated, "I don't know how much it will cost tonight, too much for a public dinner... not very good."
Everyone immediately started booing, gearing up to talk to the hotel owner about their lives, but they stood up and drank one by one, so they all agreed to go there again on the first day of the year tomorrow, and continued to ask about their third wish.
"It's really gone," Yan Lanyu said helplessly, "I didn't want much, so it's good...No! Don't give me that! I think about it later, can I say it again? No, I can't Drink it!"
Yan Lanyu threw the knife, holding her head and trying to run, she was immediately caught by Shen Wan and Li Hu and cut the cake tremblingly. So a bunch of drunks came up to drink and grab cakes. Everyone wanted the happy birthday chocolate card on the cake. Yu Jingzhong slapped it back. Finally, the chocolate card and the candied strawberries were returned to the birthday star.
Li Hu wanted candied strawberries, but didn't get them. He expressed dissatisfaction that he wanted to fill the three cups of birthday stars. Yan Lanyu ran out of the crowd in panic, and happened to hide next to Xiao Fenghuang. When he saw him asleep, he opened his mouth slightly, picked up half of a strawberry and fed it in.
"Can you eat it?"
Zhou Hui took a look, nodded and said: "You can eat, feed a little bit."
Little Phoenix subconsciously chewed twice in his sleep and swallowed for a long time.
Yan Lanyu looked interesting. He leaned Little Phoenix’s head lightly on her shoulder and fed a small piece. Watching him chew and swallow dumbly, the corners of his lips were slightly red, as if smudged. The same.
This scene is actually very cute, but for some reason, Yan Lanyu suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Chu He, he shot the earth-shattering arrow at King Peacock Ming in the grotto; and later revealed his real body in Beijing. That gentle and prestigious attitude.
He felt a little sad suddenly.
"——If my third wish is for His Royal Highness to wake up today, can it come true?"
Yan Lanyu said to herself, suddenly felt that the idea of making a wish on her birthday and expecting the wish to come true was very childish, and she felt sincere, and she couldn't help but shook her head and laughed.
What he didn't notice was that at the moment when his third wish came out, Little Phoenix's eyelashes trembled.
...waking up?
Wake up?
...So I haven't woken up yet...?
Phoenix's fingers moved, but no one could see clearly in the noisy environment. It was almost twelve o'clock, and many people moved their benches to the garden to watch the fireworks, and the countdown sounded in the distance.
Zhou Hui stood up, picked up the little phoenix and put it on his shoulders, and said: "It's cold, I will send him home first."
He passed through the drunk crowd, carefully stepped across the messy cups and pans and cream, and walked through the garden to the chute veranda. The first pyrotechnics suddenly rose in the distant sky, piercing the night sky like a meteor, and then burst out brilliant and colorful lights, reflecting on the sleeping face of Little Phoenix.
...It's so bright, Phoenix thought.
He squinted his eyes in a daze, unable to tell whether he was in reality or in his sleep. He only saw the majestic mountains of **** under his feet, and a fire suddenly ignited in front of the vast sky, instantly burning nine heavens and ten places into a splendor. Of fire.
"Do you even want to kill me?!" Sakyamuni's roar rang in his ears: "--Do you even want me to die?!"
Phoenix realized that he was holding a Buddha bone knife, facing the angry face of Sakyamuni. In the distance, Zhou Hui was desperately rushing to this side with the fire, and the entire Bu Zhou Mountain was burned into a golden pagoda in the flames of Nirvana.
"If you don't die, all of this will not end. The chaos and melee will continue..."
"Farewell, Sakyamuni."
Phoenix's hand pressed hard, and the tip of the sword pierced Shakya's throat.
——Blood gushing out, at that moment, the violent wind brushed still, and then time and space fast forward crazily.
The pictures in countless parallel worlds are completely mixed together, forming thousands of silhouettes of phoenixes-young, lonely, crying, begging, standing on the wall eagerly, imperfect The mountain tried his best to reach out to Zhou Hui...
The whirlpool-like mottled patches of color gathered into a torrent, all reflected in Phoenix's eyes.
The next moment the Sakyamuni screamed and left, the golden Buddha statue rose from the Buddha's bone, above the sea of lotus fire, and looked at the phoenix.
"I'm going back..." the Buddha said.
The phoenix could not hear anything, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had turned into a quiet tide, an uproar receded from his ear.
"Thank you for so many years, Phoenix." The Buddha's young face that belonged to Zhang Shun showed loneliness: "You are going to Nirvana, and it will be difficult to meet in the future. Is there any last wish? If you If you want the peacock godhead..."
"No," Phoenix interrupted suddenly hoarsely, "I don't need that now."
Phoenix turned his head and looked at Zhou Hui. Such a simple movement seemed very strenuous due to severe injuries and weakness.
I saw the frozen time and space, Zhou Hui was still there, his angry and anxious eyes were also watching him, shining in the sea of fire.
"I think after Nirvana, I saw the right person at first sight..." Phoenix gasped, "I want to be raised by that person with peace of mind, be taken care of, and carefree, even if there is only one day. Ok..."
Even if there is only one day.
Please don't let the one I love wait too long, as long as one day, I will try my best to get back to him.
The Golden Buddha followed the phoenix's eyes and looked at Zhou Hui in the distance, sighed and said, "Okay."
As the word landed, Phoenix showed a tired smile and slowly closed his eyes. The wind that solidified around him blew crazily again, time and space returned to normal, and the fire swept through; Zhou Hui crazily rushed through the clouds of smoke, even the cuffs and the corners of the clothes were burned.
Phoenix heard Zhou Hui's extremely angry roar, and he could feel his body being engulfed by the fire of Nirvana a little bit.
Goodbye, my Zhou Hui.
Please let me see you at the first glance when I open my eyes again, please let me wake up in your eyes with peace of mind.
You only have to wait for one day, and it will be enough to repay my hopes and waiting for thousands of years in this world.
Next second.
Time battles and stars are moving, human world, Chuhe office. The little phoenix opened the drawer of "Hug the Dead", walked out the phantom of an adult phoenix from the opened diary, leaned down, facing his childhood, gently wiped away the tears from the corner of little phoenix’s eyes:
"The wish came true..." he said.
"You can go home."
——I can finally go home.
The New Year countdown to the last moment in the garden, the hour hand returns to zero, and fireworks fill the sky.
Countless layers of colored light burst into the sky, and cheers resounded across the sky, converging into a torrent and rushing to the land of China.
Zhou Hui stopped by the railing of the veranda and looked at the magnificent fireworks in the sky. Suddenly he felt his arms move. He lowered his head and saw Xiao Fenghuang open his eyes, then closed tightly because of the sudden light, then opened it again after a while, blinking a few times.
"Zhou Hui..." he said softly.
Zhou Hui couldn't believe his eyes, and for a moment he thought he had misheard. But then he watched Xiao Fenghuang smile. Although the smile was still pale and weak, his eyes flashed with a familiar expression.
"Thank you...you have been waiting for me."
Phoenix paused, the sky full of fireworks reflected the gentle gleam of his eyes like water:
"——I'm back, happy new year."
Zhou Hui's throat was sore and choked, his shoulders trembled strangely, his vision blurred. In the dimness, he hugged Phoenix tightly, opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word, only the cheers of the crowd in the distance for New Year's Eve.
At that moment, the fire tree, the silver blossom, and the peaceful scenery all turned into silence, and then faded into the distant faintness of the night sky.
"I thought it would take a long time..."
Zhou Hui closed his eyes, and the hot liquid ran across his cheeks.
He lowered his head and printed a trembling kiss on the Phoenix temple:
"...Welcome back, my dear highness."
Behind the embracing figure, the old days hovered, wrapped in countless love, hate, gunpowder, tears, and parting, converging into a river running to the distance, disappearing into the vast sky.
The fireworks are gone, everything is silent.
The New Year’s bell rang at that moment.
