I collect waste in heaven

Chapter 1698 You Are My Light
The night is deep.

The bright stars shine against the dark night.

Xiaoman, who played with the doll in the room for a long time, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. In fact, she waited until Mianmian fell asleep before going to sleep, but she didn't know that Mianmian was pretending not to sleep.

When Xiaoman fell asleep, she got up cautiously and tiptoed to the door.

Gently opened the door and walked out.

It's getting late.

Even the guests drinking on the first floor dispersed, and the entire inn became very quiet.Mianmian took every step very carefully, as if she was afraid that making noise would disturb others' rest.She walked downstairs step by step, and the drowsy guy sitting on the stool in the inn woke up instantly when he saw the sleeping.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Xin following Mianmian.

Xin Zhao raised his fingers to keep him quiet, and made a gesture to let him continue to sleep. The man saw it and lay down and pretended to be asleep. At this time, Mian Mian also walked to the door, and looked around cautiously. Pulled open the door of the inn and got out.

When the door of the inn was closed, Xin Zhao walked down from the building and knocked on the waiter's table.

"Master Zhao."

The clerk knows Zhao Xin, and several distinguished guests in this inn have been warned by the shopkeeper.He glanced outside and lowered his voice.

"Aren't you going out with me? Although our Qincheng has good security, it's not good to let Ms. Mian go out alone."

"Sleep well." Xin Zhao took out a few spirit stones from his arms and threw them on the table, "Your inn should have a rear window."

"Yes, I will take you there."

Under the night, although it is already late at night, the night in Qincheng is not so dark. Every house is lit with red lanterns, accompanied by hazy mist, like a long dragon.

Mianmian stopped and walked along the way, occasionally stopping to look around for a long time before starting.

Until the stand selling cotton candy.

The stall is still there.

The merchant selling cotton candy has disappeared.

Mianmian bit her lower lip and stared at the marshmallow stand for a long time. She wanted to get closer but didn't dare to move. Finally, she slowly returned to the inn with her head drooping.

It was still silent without any sound.

That is, instead of going back to the room, he ran to a small terrace of the inn, resting his chin and looking at the moon outside.

So bright!
It feels like even the moon has been kinder to her since becoming the new owner.In the past, when she was locked in a cage and thrown in the courtyard, she would look up at the starry sky outside.

The moon at that time was covered by clouds.

"Why didn't you run?" Suddenly, a whisper came from behind Mianmian, Mianmian squatted on the ground and stretched out to cover her face almost like a conditioned reflex.

For a long time, she didn't feel anyone grabbing her, and when she moved her hand away, she saw Xin Zhao looking at her helplessly.

For a moment Mian Mian hung her head as if she had done something wrong.

"You ran out in the middle of the night just to see this cotton candy stall?" Zhao Xin whispered softly. After hearing this, Mianmian looked up in surprise, and finally nodded silently.

"You have no money, even if you go, what's the use of watching?"

Mianmian remained silent.

"Here." Zhao Xin turned his hand, and suddenly a huge marshmallow appeared in his hand. Mianmian's eyes were full of surprise when he saw it.

"Take it."

Xin Zhao stretched his arms forward, said.

"You're pretty lucky. I had a good drink with Zhu Zhi and the others. When I came here, the old man here was just about to go back, so he made me the last one. Maybe this is the different pupils, with Xiangrui, I asked that Grandpa, he also told me that he had already left before that time, but today he always feels that there will be business later.”

Mianmian pursed her lips and said nothing, and Zhao Xin smiled at her again.

"Take it."

Mian Mian, who was urged several times, stretched out her small hand to hold the cotton candy wooden stick, Xin Zhao moved to the side and patted the position beside her.

"Sit down and eat."

Mianmian walked over and sat down obediently, but didn't eat it and just held it with her little hands.

"I really didn't expect that there would be marshmallows here. They didn't even exist in Luo'an City. There were marshmallows where I used to live, and there were many more varieties than here. Although they don't look good, they smell quite sweet. , it should be delicious too."

Suddenly, Mianmian stretched out her hand and stretched Marshmallow towards Xin Zhao.

"Haha, I don't like these." Xin Zhao shook his head, put his hands back and looked up at the starry sky above his head, "The night here is very beautiful."

Mian Mian didn't speak, but just looked up at the starry sky above her head.

"I thought you wanted to leave." Inexplicably, Xin Zhao whispered, Mian Mian seemed to be frightened, and the marshmallows in her hands fell. She subconsciously wanted to grab it, but Xin Zhao gave it to her first. Catch and hold the wooden stick, "Hold it, don't drop it again, if this one falls off, you won't be able to eat it until tomorrow."

Mian Mian, who silently held the marshmallow back, also said her first words.

"I... won't sneak away."

"Don't be afraid, I don't blame you." Xin Zhao raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Actually, when I first bought you, I wanted to let you go."

Mianmian was taken aback when she heard this, and bit her lip.

"why?"

"No reason." Xin Zhao shrugged, "I told you at the beginning, I saw the shadow of my friend in you, a very cute little sister who likes playing games very much, when I ask her questions, I always She answered blankly, because her attention was on the game. Her name is Qingli, the same as you, but she is Catwoman and you are Fox Girl."

"Master, do you know orcs?"

"I know, there are quite a few, there are rabbit clan, cat clan, and your fox clan." Xin Zhao looked at her sideways, "That fox girl is still a nine-tailed fox, very powerful."

"Nine-tailed fox."

"Ok!"

"Master actually knows the Nine-Tailed Fox. It's amazing." Even Mian Mian spoke normally, but hearing it made people feel uncomfortable. "In our fox family, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a sacred beast, and it only exists in legends."

"right."

Xin Zhao smiled slightly and said.

"So, at that time, I really wanted to let you go. I saw the shadow of my friend in you. At that time, I was thinking, what if my friend was arrested."

"No." Mian Mian said suddenly, "Master, it's very powerful."

"I... I'm actually not that powerful at all. I'm actually the same as that Guangxu. We both rely on other people to support our prestige." Xin Zhao said softly, "I don't have any strength, and I don't know if I can protect it." people around me."

"My lord, it's very powerful."

Mianmian's voice was soft but extremely firm.

"Okay." Xin Zhao smiled slightly, and said, "What were you thinking just now, you seem to be in a daze, and you feel a little unbelievable, don't you?"

Although Xin Zhao didn't specify what, Mian Mian seemed to know what Xin Zhao wanted to say.

She tilted her head and nodded slightly.

After she followed Xin Zhao, she could feel that everyone she met was kind, and she knew that this kindness was not given by them, but actually brought to him by Xin Zhao.Xin Zhao is a big shot, people around are afraid that he will respect him, and they will be kind to her.

She is just afraid that this is all a dream.

When she woke up, she was still in that iron cage, continuing to live that dark life.

He pondered for a long time.

Mianmian pursed her lower lip and slowly raised her head, speaking with a very sincere voice.

"Master, thank you."

She is grateful from the bottom of her heart, although she is still so timid now, but she always feels that as long as she follows Xin Zhao well in the future, her future will really change.

She would never go back to those dark days.

She can be a happy little maid like Xiaoman.

"Thank you?" Xin Zhao couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pat her head, "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank yourself."

"For...why?"

"Obviously you have suffered such severe torture, but you still survived, and you are still so kind, full of expectations for the future. You should know that when I stretched out my hand to you, you also stretched out my hand to me , right?" Xin Zhao said softly, "It's not that I accepted you, but you chose to accept me. It was your heart for the future that saved yourself. How should I put it, you were beaten by the darkness, just happened to It means that you are the light itself."

"You are your own light."

After saying that, Xin Zhao stretched out his hand to touch Mianmian's head, smiled slightly and got up and pouted towards the marshmallow.

"Don't eat too much. Eating too much sugar before going to bed will cause toothache. Go to bed early. We will go shopping tomorrow and then we have to go back to Luoan City. Good dream."

Mianmian just stared blankly at Xin Zhao leaving from the small terrace.

Xin Zhao's words echoed in his mind.

"When I reached out to you, you also reached out to me. It's not that I accept you, but you choose to accept me."

"You are beaten by darkness, which just means that you are the light itself."

"You are your own light."

After a long time, Mian Mian moved her lips and whispered.

"My lord, you're good at talking."

After the words were finished, Mianmian sniffed the marshmallow with her little nose, and licked it with her pink tongue.The sweetness on the tip of her tongue instantly made her laughing eyes bend into crescents, and she whispered in her heart.

"Hee, it's so sweet!"
