Help, I've become a paper man

This is a joke.

Song Yi had not expected an answer. It was normal not to get a proper answer after hearing what he said. But when Yan Changyue said "Indeed", he still felt it was a bit absurd and could not help but complain.

"You're so cooperative."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Changyue's silence, and saw the wound on her face, and immediately understood what "can't bear it". Song Yi couldn't help but explain: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are a masochist. This kind of setting is also very popular now."

Halfway through his words, he realized that he had said something wrong and stopped talking hastily, but Yan Changyue had already heard and understood what he meant. She looked at him straight, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

Song Yi let go of Yan Changyue, took two steps back, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and whispered, "I was just kidding..."

Yan Changyue smiled and responded: "If you like it, it's not impossible."

Song Yi took a deep breath, question marks kept popping up in his mind. Before he was tempted, he felt it was outrageous that these words were actually said by Yan Changyue.

At this moment, he couldn't find the right words to summarize his feelings at the moment. He just stared at Yan Changyue's face, gradually emptying his mind. He didn't feel inexplicably relieved until the other person laughed out loud.

"I was just kidding, too." Yan Changyue said lightly.

Song Yi rolled his eyes in response. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand Jasmine's feelings. He wanted to complain but had nothing to say. In the end, all his words turned into a look.

The air was silent because of this. After a few seconds, Yan Changyue laughed out loud, raised her right hand, and placed it on her cheek to cover the injured part. She still looked at Song Yi, and from Song Yi's perspective...

On one side is half of a face with delicate features, which looks even more dignified with a smile, while on the other side, through the gaps between the fingers, one can see some swelling on the face, as well as clear scars with a bluish tint, which are marks left by beatings. Looking at it this way, she looks a bit like a beautiful female ghost.

Seeing this, Song Yi's heart was pounding. For a moment, he felt even more guilty. He almost couldn't help but apologize. Fortunately, Yan Changyue spoke first:

"Song Yi, I'm sorry. I just thought about using nice words to coax you over and hide my little thoughts."

"I waited there initially because of 'fate's arrangement', and I wanted to kill you and meet you, but when you appeared, I changed my mind. You are the most unique, and I am not trying to fool you."

"You are still too young and don't understand this world, so you don't know. For a Stardust who has not yet made a contract, the short period of time after leaving the inner world is when the Stardust's animal nature is the strongest. I have seen some tragedies happen because of this."

"They have not yet come into contact with society, and have no feelings for humans. Not long ago, they were even in the midst of a killing spree. Few Stardust were able to distinguish the situation in front of them and restrain their killing instincts. Even fewer were able to stop and communicate with humans."

"The stardust that can successfully sign a contract...mostly escapes from the fighting, wanders alone for a period of time, and alleviates the murderous nature in the body before binding with humans."

During the narration, Yan Changyue seemed to be lost in memories. As he spoke, he laughed for no apparent reason and asked:

“Are bombs delicious?”

...What a joke! Song Yi groaned in his heart. He had been listening attentively, but now he suddenly turned to the dark history. He was embarrassed for two seconds before he could reply with a smile:

"It's just so-so. If I had known you were so strong, I would have come right up to you and hugged you to beg for support. But you really shouldn't say that... Just because I'm kind, you think I should live, right?"

Yan Changyue shook her head and said, "No, it's also because of the bomb."

When he said this, he laughed again, his dense eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions in his eyes. Before he could finish the rest of the words, Song Yi grinned and said hurriedly:

"Wait, are you calling me stupid? For putting anything in my mouth? For casually thinking I'm not a threat?"

"Oh! Now that I think about it, love at first sight is better!"

Song Yi spoke very quickly, criticizing himself in a series of words, and directly expressed his thoughts. It was only after he finished lamenting that Yan Changyue spoke leisurely and explained:

"I was originally thinking that when the bomb was about to explode, you still considered that there were people outside and took the risk of eating it instead of throwing it away. You are obviously a good kid."

"Of course." Song Yi immediately responded.

This time they both laughed together, but as they laughed, Song Yi's expression began to become strange, mainly because the person opposite him was slowly lowering his hand that was covering his face, revealing his face underneath.

It’s not that the wound was horrific, but quite the opposite. It was a smooth face with no signs of injury at all. Surprisingly, during the conversation, the face returned to its pre-injury appearance.

Song Yi exclaimed, and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

Yan Changyue blinked and said innocently, "I just took some medicine, don't take it to heart."

Song Yi looked at the situation in front of him and it was indeed developing in a good direction, but he still couldn't help but say: "You really are using the self-torture trick to deceive me, and you are not willing to lie for a while longer. It's only been a few minutes!"

Yan Changyue had not expected such a train of thought, but fortunately she reacted quickly. After a brief pause, the man spoke fluently:

"Yeah, I'm anxious to recover. What if you think I'm not pretty anymore and you fall in love with someone else?"

This was a sign of weakness, and it was made to sound pitiful. Coupled with such a face and told by such a voice, it was really hard to bear. Even though Song Yi thought he was immune to such an attack, he was still moved and subconsciously explained:

"I like you just because I like you, not... uh, not just because you're pretty!"

Song Yi stuttered as he spoke this sentence, mainly because facing this face, he couldn't say anything negative, and he couldn't say against his will, "I'm not attracted to her at all because of her pretty face." After all, to describe Yan Changyue's appearance as pretty was a limitation of descriptive vocabulary. How could he ignore such beauty?

Just thinking about it, Song Yi wanted to sigh. It was precisely because of his embarrassment that Yan Changyue's smile became more genuine. She did not laugh at him, nor did she dwell on the topic. Instead, after laughing, Yan Changyue spoke again and said:

"Sorry, sorry, I believe in your feelings. I just thought you were cute and wanted your approval."

"Besides that, the reason why I'm in a hurry to restore my face is because purgatory is about to fall, and my old friend might send some care when he goes to work."

Yan Changyue walked towards Song Yi while speaking and raised her arms again in a hugging gesture. Similar to the previous action, this time Song Yi did not refuse. He cooperated and raised his hands to hug Yan Changyue's waist.

But not only that, at this moment, with the invitation from Yan Changyue, he could finally indulge his thoughts and find a place to put them.

Song Yi lowered his head slightly and put his forehead close to the other's neck, feeling the other's heartbeat and Yan Changyue's breathing. This was an extremely intimate action, at least for Yan Changyue. After all, in this position, Song Yi only needed to tilt his head to easily bite off the other's throat.

Fortunately, Song Yi didn't have such thoughts. During the intimacy, he heard that Purgatory didn't have to worry, so he started gossiping and asked, "Old friend? Do you mean Feng Jihuan?"

After all, Sui Yuesheng said that these two were in opposition, so it was reasonable for this person to send the strange-sounding "care".

Yan Changyue said: "Yes, his brother is here, and he doesn't want to be friendly, nor does he want to play the villain, so he can only use 'busy' to cover it up."

Song Yi's gossip fire was burning, so he asked further: "You know all this? Are you on good terms?"

Yan Changyue answered "No" in a second, then said: "It's not like you and his brother. He and I hate each other, and you are 'good friends', but you also have similarities."

Song Yi blinked, somewhat confused. He didn't understand what the relationship between Yan Changyue and Sui Yuesheng was, but he was a good boy. As soon as he had doubts, he opened his mouth and asked:

"What do you mean? What happened between me and Sui Yuesheng?"

Yan Changyue replied: "He said you two were good friends, but at the end of the copy..."

He was left with the protagonist group, and in the duel, he attacked Sui Yuesheng without showing any mercy. If it wasn't for the quick settlement, Sui Yuesheng would not have survived, so it means "kill at the critical moment"?

Song Yi was stunned and explained: "Ah, you are talking about this, we are indeed good friends, but good friends have to go by hand, so that they can feel at ease."
