The night before the assessment, Xiao Mo was entrusted by the dean to invite the three city lords to discuss matters together, but before he could knock on Shen Nanxing's door, the door opened by itself.

Xiao Mo looked at Shen Chaorui who hadn't seen him for a long time, and even forgot to say hello for a while.

The stubble on Shen Chaorui's chin was as messy as grass, and his eyes were red, swollen, bloodshot, and dark.Seeing that it was Xiao Mo, he nodded casually, and asked hoarsely, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Mo said: "The dean invites City Lord Shen to go over."

Shen Chaorui tilted his head and clicked his tongue, Xiao Mo silently looked at the red circle around his jaw, which should be the mark of a fist if nothing else.

"He's inside, call yourself." Shen Chaorui walked a few steps along the wall, then turned his head suddenly: "Xiao Mo."

"Huh? Teacher?"

"Your father...how many brothers?"

Xiao Mo subconsciously felt that this question was somewhat private, and it seemed that something had been deliberately mixed in when the question came from Shen Chaorui's mouth. However, looking at those bloodshot eyes, Xiao Mo still said truthfully: "Father and brother , the second uncle is not yet married, and the fourth uncle just got married last year."

Shen Chaorui's voice was a little deeper, as if frosted: "How about your third uncle?"

Xiao Mo's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said softly after a while: "My third uncle has passed away for many years."

Shen Chaorui closed his eyes, and faintly let out a faint laugh, which made Xiao Mo frowned unconsciously, vaguely guessing something, but before he could ask, Shen Chaorui turned around and strode away.

If you ignore his slightly stiff shoulders and two arms that can't swing, it's still chic.

Xiao Mo looked at Shen Chaorui's back, a little distracted.

If Shen Chaorui hadn't asked, he might have forgotten the name that the Xiao family chose not to mention.

His third uncle, named Xiao Annian, is a man whose eyes can tell stories.

When I was young, the juniors in my family would always lie on the third uncle's lap and listen to stories coquettishly. The third uncle is very good at telling stories and has been to many places. Xiao Mo once inadvertently found the things in the third uncle's drawer. There are pictures of all kinds of rare things, including grass, animals, and people.

Later, the third uncle left the Northwest Territory with his cloth bag on his back, and after many years of separation, there was no news of him.

After that, the Xiao family collectively chose not to mention this person. Although they didn't mention it, they kept a little thought, thinking that if this person is actually still there, as long as he is alive and doesn't go home, it's fine.

Xiao Mo was thinking about it, when the door in front of him was suddenly opened again.

Shen Nanxing leaned against the door frame and stared at him slightly unkindly: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mo bowed and said, "City Lord Shen, the principal invites you to meet."

Shen Nanxing didn't move, his gaze swept over Xiao Mo's face, and his tone was quite resentful: "Stay away from Chaorui, I don't want him to get the Xiao family's surname for no reason."

Xiao Mo didn't realize the meaning of these words for a while, and when he walked across the long corridor to the dormitory, he still thought about it for a long time, maybe there was an unknown story between Shen Chaorui and his longing Bai Yueguang Otherwise, how could this city lord Shen dislike someone surnamed Xiao so much?

In fact, it is not true, Shen Nanxing is quite nice to other people, there is only one person that he doesn't want to see, now he is doing well, here comes another one, not bad looking.

He really couldn't wait to see him.

Xiao Mo thought for a long time without a solution, so he relaxed his tense nerves and decided to go back and play with Wu Xing for a while, and then recharge his energy and prepare for the next day's assessment.

As soon as he turned the corner, the person who had been standing by the window for an unknown amount of time also turned around at the same moment: "I'm leaving."

The two went up to the rooftop one after the other. Xiao Mo stood quietly in the wind, his clothes rattling: "What do you mean? Go? Where are you going?"

Su Qiyu breathed out slowly: "You know, I don't care about my studies here, I just came here for the city building order, and now, I have got the news I want, staying any longer is just a waste of time. "

Xiao Mo chuckled: "This is the second time you have said goodbye to me like this, and the reason has not changed, so why tell me?"

Su Qiyu's eyes darkened a bit: "It's also..."

Xiao Mo suddenly remembered the legend of the Wanzhang Cave, and adding that Su Qiyu wanted to leave suddenly, he couldn't help asking: "Have you found the location of the building order?"

Su Qiyu smiled wryly: "This... I can't say."

Xiao Mo had never been interested in the city building decree, and he didn't want to ask more questions if he didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't have anything to ask.

The two of them just stood there, speechless for a while.Su Qiyu clenched his fists, staring at Xiao Mo's back, engraved every stroke in his eyes, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, nothing was there, as if he could only see this person's persistence The words "Building a City Order" flipped in his eyes.

Su Qiyu said: "Xiao Mo, you will have a long road ahead, I think maybe I should congratulate you in advance."

Xiao Mo frowned and turned to look at him, a little puzzled about what he said.

Su Qiyu continued on his own: "This continent has been peaceful for a long time, and I'm afraid there will be different turmoil. I hope you can protect yourself at that time. Besides, Wanzhang Cave is not a good place. Stay away, it will be harmful to you." benefit."

It's best not to set foot on it for the rest of your life.Su Qiyu thought silently in her heart.

Xiao Mo suddenly became a little nervous, Su Qiyu's words vaguely revealed a trace of despair, as if he was delivering some funeral.

"Ayu?"

Su Qiyu's steps stopped, his body was slender and boneless, and it was about to fall apart in the wind, his pretty side face melted into the night, Xiao Mo saw a star falling from that clear spring, imprinted on it. In the small mole on the corner of the eye.

This night, there was an empty bed in Xiao Mo's dormitory. For the first time, Wu Xing was very discerning and didn't ask any questions. He obediently rubbed Xiao Mo's shoulder to coax him: "Okay, it's time to sleep, I will see you tomorrow The domineering side is leaking!"

Xiao Mo was amused by him, pinched Wu Xing's nose, looked at the child's sparkling eyes, lowered his head and kissed the trembling eyelids in a strange way: "Okay, I won't let you down."

Xiao Mo looked at the bright moon outside the window, half covered by the undulating sea of ​​clouds, he hugged the little guy and closed his eyes.

Su Qiyu is right, he still has a long way to go.

It's just that, because of the long journey, he constantly hopes that there will be someone to accompany him on the road, so that he can see it when he turns his head.

The author has something to say:

I mentioned Su Qiyu's fate very early on. If this world is just a game, then the protagonist is Xiao Mo, and Su Qiyu is the NPC who guides him
