18. Mandrill's change
Tong Yan lifted Mandrill's chin with one hand, and gently stroked Mandrill's head with the other hand.
Forget about stroking, Tong Yan felt like she was smoothing the fur of her own well-behaved cat, stroking it back and forth several times.
The smile blooming in her black eyes at this moment is like the blooming lotus in summer, beautiful but not coquettish.
"Teacher, eat quickly, eat quickly."
"After we finish eating, we can have barbecue together~"
A cheerful voice hovered in Mandrill's ears, and Mandrill remained expressionless as always.
Maybe it's because Mandrill doesn't like Tong Yan's actions and opinions.
Although I don't like it, I don't hate it.
This made Mandrill feel puzzled and at the same time very puzzled.
So Mandrill looked at Tong Yan quietly for a long time.
Of course, I also held the sour plum for a long time.
In this way, no matter how sweet the sour plums are, they will inevitably become a bit astringent.
Mandrill chewed the sour plum, but did not move his mouth. He looked at the smiling profile of the child's face, his golden eyes flickered, and Mandrill responded in a very soft voice: "Well..."
Tong Yan made him feel very similar to An Chun, but in fact Tong Yan and An Chun were completely opposite people.
Being watched so intently by Mandrill, even his shameless childish face couldn't help but feel a little shy.
The childish face lowered her eyes, and her pretty face gradually turned a bright red.
"Teacher, if you keep staring at people like this, they won't be able to bear it..."
"do not move."
Mandrill's strong and warm hands held Tong Yan's cheek, and then slowly raised her face.
Tong Yan's eyes averted, and Mandrill's active and intimate touch instantly plunged her brain into chaos.
Even during the period of chaos, Tong Yan's body reacted instinctively. She moved her chin and rubbed it gently into Mandrill's hand.
"teacher."
"Why don't you eat me next~"
Tong Yan's pair of jade hands closed Mandrill's wrist. She tilted her head slightly and blended her face into Mandrill's palm, her eyes full of tenderness.
Feeling the warmth from Mandrill's palm, Tong Yan's originally gentle eyes gradually became blurred.
Perhaps because he understood Tong Yan's words, Mandrill's hand held Tong Yan's pretty face harder.
He pinched Tong Yan's chin and pulled her closer. Not only that, Mandrill also took advantage of the situation and pressed his handsome face towards her.
Looking at the mandrill that was very close at hand, Tong Yan's throat twitched slightly, and the little deer in her heart kept racing, and she slowly closed her eyes.
The hot breath of Mandrill hit Tong Yan's face, and Tong Yan was extremely nervous at this moment.
Who would have thought that the first time with Mandrill would be in this wilderness?
Tong Yan couldn't help but think, would it be bad if the sound was too loud?
Looking at the child's face with his eyes closed against his palm, the scene of An Chun sleeping soundly on his shoulder flashed through Mandrill's mind.
Thinking of this, the smile on Mandrill's face was like the silent water ripples that suddenly rippled around on a calm lake surface.
Twenty years have passed since An Chun left Mandrill.
In the past twenty years, Mandrill has been silently guarding Liyue in the darkness as always. Gradually, he got used to it again.
Habits will change many things, they will change a person, and they will also change an immortal master.
Ever since he rescued Tong Yan for the first time, Mandrill felt inexplicably friendly when he looked at Tong Yan. It was a familiar feeling that he only felt in An Chun.
So Mandrill paid a little attention to Tong Yan's actions.
Mandrill came to the conclusion that the appearance of Tong Yan was not an accident.
After that, due to some coincidences and Tong Yan's suggestion, he naturally agreed, and Mandrill became Tong Yan's teacher.
The appearance of Tong Yan also changed many things.
She reminded Mandrill, who was immersed in habits, of the good time she had with An Chun.
Mandrill raised his hand and slowly placed it on Tong Yan's meticulously arranged hair. His movements were a little stiff, and it was obvious that he had never done such a thing.
Tong Yan closed her eyes tightly and felt the strange touch in her hair. She was thinking to herself, is it finally time to start...?
"Thanks."
These two words are very raw and tender, and they contain all of Mandrill's current feelings for Tong Yan.
Tong Yan opened her eyes in confusion, and seeing Mandrill's serious look, she understood.
A little disappointed, but not sad.
Tong Yan threw herself into Mandrill's arms, pressed her little head against Mandrill's chest, and dug in gently.
"Then teacher, should you give me another gift?"
Mandrill took off the blackened wild boar leg from the grill and handed it to Tong Yan.
"Give."
