God's Gift

After Yu Youyou finished speaking, she tried hard to pull up the corners of her mouth to smile, or say something to comfort Xiaoou. But the curve of her mouth became more and more stiff, and finally it could only droop weakly, leaving her squatting in front of the sofa in silence.

Ye Li was also speechless. Things had come to this point and she no longer had any right to persuade Xiao Ou.

Only Lu Keming didn't care about Xiaoou's tragic experience. No matter how touching her words were, it would not cause any fluctuations in his emotions.

But Youyou cares.

Lu Keming's brows lowered, he gritted his teeth and looked sideways at Xiaoou with a cold look.

His eyes were like an old well covered with moss, revealing a hint of dampness and gloom.

It was her luck to get the blood of the gods, but she didn't cherish it and even said it was a curse.

Lu Keming looked at the distraught Yu Youyou, and his heart ached. Although he didn't know why Youyou liked this child so much, but now this child was so troublesome, she was unhappy... He pressed his knuckles, and the knuckles made a cracking sound.

There was a faint cold light in his eyes, and he thought with some malice: Since she doesn't want to go back, it's not a bad idea to let her stay in this desolate desert. Anyway, her life or death has nothing to do with them.

When Lu Keming had thought of everything and was about to get up and take Yu Youyou away, he heard Yu Youyou say:

"Okay, then you can come with us."

Lu Keming stumbled, he used his left hand to steady himself, knelt on one knee on the floor, panted and looked up at Yu Youyou, "Youyou, how can you take her with you?"

Ye Li also looked at Yu Youyou with disapproval.

"She can protect herself, and she's so powerful, maybe she can help us." Yu Youyou looked at the two of them and kept saying:

"If she stays here, she will be taken away by force when the Als troops arrive."

Yu Youyou looked at Xiaoou, her gaze paused for a moment, and then she grinned: "Since you don't want to go back, then come with us."

"I will prove to you that you are not the cause of misfortune."

Seeing the smile on Yu Youyou's face, Lu Keming calmed down, suppressed all his thoughts, and looked at Xiaoou coldly:

"Since Youyou said so, then come with us."

Xiaoou actually didn't expect Yu Youyou to take her with her. She clasped her hands together and actually didn't believe the proof that Yu Youyou said.

But for some reason, under Yu Youyou's calm and warm gaze, which was like the ocean, her heart gradually calmed down. At this moment, she seemed to have turned into a seagull gently embraced by the ocean.

She nodded slightly, "Okay."

-

The chill of the night turned into dewdrops and fell on the roses in the villa. A drop of crystal dew slid down along the texture of the rose leaves, pulling the leaves down continuously, and finally fell down reluctantly after lingering for a long time.

The leaf swayed a few times in the air and then returned to calm.

Cold dewdrops fell on Yu Youyou's cheek, making her shiver with cold and reaching her hand into Lu Keming's clothes.

A bulge formed on Lu Keming's clothes on his chest because of Yu Youyou's hand. Yu Youyou's cold hand pressed against his skin, making him get goose bumps.

But he did not refuse. Instead, he held Yu Youyou's hand tighter and put another down jacket on her. After smoothing the corners of the jacket, he asked, "Are you still cold?"

"It's cold..." Yu Youyou's teeth chattered as she muttered, "Why is it so cold on land? It's not this cold in the sea, even in the Arctic..."

"Five or six in the morning is the coldest time of the day, and the desert has a low heat storage capacity, with a large temperature difference between day and night. But the sea water temperature is relatively constant, so the desert will be colder than the ocean."

While Lu Keming was adjusting Yu Youyou's collar, he looked up at her and explained softly:

"Fish are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature is lower than that of humans. This may be the reason why Youyou feels so cold now."

"I know about cold-blooded animals!" Yu Youyou didn't understand what Lu Keming said before, until he mentioned cold-blooded animals, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"My mother once told me that cold-blooded animals are animals that have no mechanism to regulate their body temperature and whose body temperature changes with the outside temperature."

"Except for mammals like whales and dolphins, most other fish in the ocean are cold-blooded animals."

Whenever Yu Youyou mentions her mother, her eyes would sparkle, and the light spots in her black pupils were like stars in the sky.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's happy expression, gradually stopped what he was doing, and looked at her seriously:

"So Youyou was so sad last night because Xiaoou reminded you of your mother, right?"

When Lu Keming mentioned this, the smile on Yu Youyou's face froze. She looked up at Lu Keming and saw the worry in his eyes.

The smile on Yu Youyou's lips remained unchanged, but she slowly withdrew her hand from under Lu Keming's indigo shirt, and her voice was calm, as if she didn't care.

"I never knew I had caused my mother so much pain."

"No." Lu Keming held Yu Youyou's shoulders with a sincere look in his eyes, "From all the descriptions you gave of your mother, I only saw your mother's happiness."

"I know that she was indeed happy during the time she was with me." Yu Youyou did not deny this statement. Her eyes fell on the roses blooming magnificently on the wall, her eyes calm and distant.

"But I just found out last night that she also felt pain because of me."

"She loves you very much." Lu Keming said with certainty, "Even if love brings pain, there will always be people who are willing to accept it."

There will always be someone who is willing to go through fire and water and even die for that love.

"Really?" Yu Youyou stared at the rose covered with thorns, her voice drifting in the cold wind.

"Don't blame yourself. Xiaoou's matter has nothing to do with you. After the disaster left your body, it was no longer under your control..." Lu Keming was interrupted by Anthony who came over before he could finish his words.

"Master, all the Blue Dragon members are here." Anthony looked at the heavy clothes Yu Youyou was wearing, then at her and Lu Keming's red frozen fingers, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"I'm really sorry. The members probably didn't get enough rest during the recent days of traveling. They didn't get up on time this morning, and made the young master and the young mistress wait for so long in the cold wind."

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's red cheeks and nose, and his expression was not very good. But he looked at the Blue Dragon members who were trying their best to get up, and finally just waved at Anthony without scolding him.

"Okay, once you're ready, hurry up and go."

Yu Youyou was too quiet at this moment. Her eyes followed Lu Keming's profile, and Lu Keming's words just now echoed in her mind.

In fact, Xiaoou’s matter happened to be related to her.

The disaster did not come to Xiaoou for no reason.
