Arknights is too real, right?

"Crack!"

The door lock was unlocked, and Xia Feng, wrapped in a quilt, ran towards the back of the corridor like a little boy in a hurry for a date.

In front of Shuangxing's cell door, Xia Feng waved to her with a smile.

"Hey, I'm here again."

Shuangxing opened his eyes and glanced at him expressionlessly.

"What are you doing here again?"

Xia Feng leaned over and sat cross-legged in front of the iron railing.

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was bored. I thought you might be bored too, so I came to chat with you."

Froststar looked away, without any emotion in her voice.

"I'm not good at chatting."

"It's okay, just chat."

"I'm not interested in outsiders' affairs."

Although Shuangxing's attitude was no longer hostile, she obviously would not open her heart to strangers casually. For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

If she left it outside, Xia Feng might be able to give her some gifts, snacks and the like to increase her favorability, but unfortunately, there is nothing in this prison.

In silence, Xia Feng suddenly discovered something.

Although Shuangxing seemed to be sitting calmly in the corner, her body was trembling slightly.

"Are you cold?"

"I am used to it."

A red scarf was thrown in through the iron bars.

Xia Feng said to her.

"Wear this first. This is something from my hometown. It is woven from 100% pure wool. Hehe, but I have agreed in advance that you will return it to me in the future. I am not stingy. This scarf is very important to me."

Shuangxing caught the scarf in surprise, and the soft touch came from her hands.

Xia Feng looked at her with a smile.

"Hold around, it's very warm."

Shuangxing hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and wrapped the scarf around his neck awkwardly.

It's just a scarf. No matter what kind of wool it is knitted with, it is difficult to effectively resist the cold, especially the cold that comes from the inside out of the body.

But for some reason, when Shuangxing put on the scarf, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

"Thanks."

After seeing her surrounding him, Xia Feng smiled happily, then leaned against the iron railing and tightened the quilt around him.

"Frost Star, do you hate this world?"

Froststar huddled her face in her scarf.

"Don't you hate being an infected person?"

"I hate sometimes, but the world is not only divided between ordinary people and infected people."

Froststar gently closed her eyes.

"You think that because you are a Victorian, not an Ursus."

Xia Feng nodded.

"Indeed, maybe my idea is too narrow. Let's change the topic. Do you want to hear a story?"

"Well, let's talk about it."

In the cold and dark cell, Xia Feng told Shuangxing a story about despair and hope.

"Once upon a time, there was a mother who was maliciously treated by fate. Mineral disease took away everything from her, including the daughter she regarded as life. Despair gave rise to hatred in her heart, which turned into the driving force for killing. Revenge became the only thing she could do. matter."

Froststar was not moved by the beginning of this story, she said softly.

"This is not unusual in Ursus."

Xia Feng continued.

"Revenge stories are indeed very common, but as an infected person, this obsession has supported her to live for more than ten years. In the absence of any means to suppress ori disease, this is already a miracle. It can be seen from this that she How deep is the hatred in my heart.”

"Then what."

"She was blinded by hatred and joined the infected organization that also exists for revenge. She has a powerful power that ordinary people cannot match. No one can defeat her."

Speaking of this, Xia Feng's eyes became dim.

"Until one day, she learned a piece of information from a stranger that her daughter was still alive. At that moment, she easily let go of all the hatred in her heart. Including the tragic life that was teased by fate, everything seemed to follow this The news was no longer painful, and there was only hope in her eyes, as if at that moment, she became the luckiest person in the world."

Xia Feng showed a hint of nostalgia.

"Just knowing that her daughter is still alive can offset all the pain she has experienced. She has given up her hatred and just wants to find her daughter, because she knows better than anyone else how painful the heart is tormented by hatred, which can no longer be called People's hearts, if the daughter is not found, the daughter who thinks she has lost all her relatives will also be tortured by hatred."

"Because she knows that it is meaningless. The infected will not disappear, and the oppression of ordinary people will not stop. Revenge is an endless road of no return. It can only be called revenge on one side and punishing oneself on the other. .”

Froststar looked thoughtful.

"Finally, did she find her daughter?"

Xia Feng was silent for a long time.

Finally, there was an indescribable sense of prayer in his voice.

"She found it, and the hatred in their hearts subsided. Since then, they have lived happily together."

Xia Feng imagined a picture in his mind.

Under the warm sunshine, Shuangyue held Shuangxing's hand and walked among the sea of ​​flowers facing the sun. Their faces were filled with happiness.

But that was just a dream, a dream that could never come true because the real dreamer was no longer there.

Froststar's voice came from very close.

"You're lying. That mother never found her daughter."

At some point, Shuangxing came to the iron fence and leaned against Xia Feng across the iron fence.

Xia Feng smiled bitterly.

"Oh, did you hear it?"

"Yes, but there is no malice in this lie. I like this lie. Is the mother in your story the friend you mentioned before?"

"maybe."

Froststar gently rubbed her face against the scarf around her neck.

"It's not a pretty story, but I can tell you're not a bad person."

"Heh, I'm not a good person either."

After the story was told, the cell fell silent again.

Just as Xia Feng was thinking about how to continue the topic, a slender white palm stretched out from the iron bars.

There was a round object in the palm of his hand, and the voice of Frost Star came.

"You look like you're cold. I'll treat you to this."

Xia Feng looked at the white palm with some confusion. .

"What's this?"

"candy."

This indeed looked like candy, and it was dark red in color and seemed very sweet. However, Xia Feng was a little surprised.

"Why can you bring candy in? Didn't they take away your personal belongings?"

Hearing Xia Feng's question, Shuangxing's eyes suddenly dodge, and his voice became weak.

"I kept it close to my heart."

“Personal fit!!!”

Xia Feng looked at the candy without any outer packaging and couldn't help but swallowed.

Seeing that Xia Feng still didn't take it, Shuangxing took his hand back.

"It's close-fitting but absolutely clean. It doesn't matter to me. Just forget it if you don't want to eat it. It doesn't taste very good."

"I eat!"

Xia Feng snatched the candy from Shuangxing's hand and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.

Then, he praised it while savoring it carefully.

"Well, it's delicious. It tastes amazing. This taste. This taste... eh... eh?"

Xia Feng stopped tasting, and his expression seemed to freeze. Then, his entire face quickly turned red, and tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

"I'll go, it's so spicy!"

Seeing his reaction, Froststar chuckled through the bars.

"Hehehe, this kind of candy is specially made by me. The main ingredients are chili and pepper. It should be difficult for most people to accept it for the first time."

Xia Feng stuck out his tongue, and even his lips were swollen from the heat. This was definitely BT spicy.

After swallowing a few times, Xia Feng said miserably.

"Si~Si~ Sister, you can't accept it even after the first few times. Why do you want to eat this kind of thing?"

Looking back, Xia Feng was suddenly stunned, because he saw that Shuangxing's face was actually smiling at this moment.

This smile is like the melting of ice and snow, like the first ray of sunshine in the sky in an extremely cold place in a desperate situation.

Shuangxing said with raised corners of his mouth.

"This candy has a special effect. How about it? I don't feel as cold as before."
