Show field

Along the way, there were many street vendors and workers who were busy with their work. Seeing that they were gradually moving away from the oppressive and cold atmosphere of the war, Yan's face was no longer overly tense.

Based on his aristocratic status, it may also be a habit of not wanting to cause trouble. The clothes on his body are not full of expensive and gorgeous clothes as usual, but simple clothes with a cloak that can cover half of his face. The main purpose is to cover up his appearance and avoid being recognized. Come out—and with the presence of Nian beside him, Yan subconsciously put on this "clothes that he used to wear when he sneaked out of the house when he was relaxing."

The reputation of Nian beside him did not spread in Fayahana. The main reason could only be the result of the Feng family's deliberate obstruction. Strictly speaking, it was the result of Hua's deliberate fabrication.

Even if the system of the deputy head of the family is advocated, but the actual results have not been achieved, such a system cannot be legitimately announced in the Magic Kingdom.

That is to say, Hua is probably waiting for the opportunity to resound the name read throughout the Magic Kingdom when she is mature. However, there may be other reasons for delaying the spread of the name read.

In any case, thanks to this point of view, even if he is not pretending, he will not attract attention. With empty eyes and a face without a trace of expression, he is considered a strange child at best.

The magician sent by the Feng family, Yan didn't want these people to come into his eyes at all, and ordered them to stay away from him for more than [-] meters as soon as he noticed it.

As for the guards who specialize in protecting the head of the Ice family, based on the most important family considerations, after receiving the contract order and returning to the house, an order was sent to all the magicians who were on standby, so that the guards and troops staying in the house would leave the city one after another, and rush to help the firemen. The family suppressed the protests.

Perhaps it was because of their status as enemies in the past, when the mission was dispatched, those subordinates seemed very excited and excited, and some even shed tears and said, "Did you see the former head of the Ice family?" and other words.

Also because there are not many magicians in the Ice family residence in the capital, strictly speaking, "almost all of them are supported by Yan Ji".

Yan Shao still has the pride and confidence of being a magician. As the head of the family, the strength does not need the protection of the guards. More importantly, now that he is going out with Nian, how could he allow someone to stop him... Huh?

"What the hell am I thinking?"

When he came back to his senses, Yan had already held Nian's little hand, and the two walked leisurely on the slightly deserted street.

tread.

Yan suddenly stepped down, let go of the fingertips holding hands with Nian, and the face under the cloak showed shock, carefully looking at the clothes he was wearing.

The simple clothes and the cloak that deliberately concealed his appearance are not the head of the family at all, but "the one who used to be called Xiaoyan".

And that "Xiao Yan" should be completely dead, now only the head of the family who is the strongest representative of the Bing family exists.

Even if it is rare to squeeze out free time, as the head of the family, he should rush to deal with other business affairs, instead of going shopping with someone from another family like he is doing now.

"What the hell am I doing?"

My mind began to be occupied by the idea of ​​"should turn around and go back to the house", those cold faces tightened again, and the dark and cold eyes appeared in the pupils again.

"I am the head of the Ice Family."

As if the trembling goddess on the battlefield had revived, the temperature received by the whole area dropped suddenly, and the breeze turned into a cold wind that penetrated the clothes and pierced the bones.

Pasha.

A weak force grabbed the corner of Yan's clothes, subconsciously lowered his head to look at Xiang Nian.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature and the influence of the cold wind, her petite body shivered slightly, and her whole body flinched and stuck tightly to Yan's body.

I don't know when to close my empty eyes, and my small white hands firmly grasped Yan's clothes, as if finding someone to rely on, even though it was cold, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a faint smile.

Click.

Accompanied by the sound of the "lock" being buckled clearly in his head, Yan's eyes strongly released the terrifying sight of "stay away from me".

"what?"

However, in the next second, Yan himself made a suspicious voice.

Nian's movements did not change in any way, and he was still leaning tightly on his body. Yan was surprised and puzzled by his next steps.

At some point, Yan had already pulled up the cloak he was wearing and put it on Nian's shoulders, his right hand was tightly tied to Nian's little hand, and he could clearly feel the warmth conveyed from the other's petite body and the childlike tenderness from his skin. Childish smell.

Yan, fell into a daze.

Through the child beside her, she can clearly feel the warmth of happiness from every part of her body at this moment.

While the thought of expulsion was coming out of the head, it was also sending out the thought of longing to be intoxicated with the current situation.

"Miss, are you interested in drinking a bowl of ginger tea? Although the temperature is changed to normal temperature to cope with the season, it is still very effective in repelling the sudden cold wind!"

The chief judge not far away saw Yan Tiinian's movement of the child to block the wind, and immediately shouted loudly, hoping to pull the two customers to his vendor.

"Ginger tea?"

When Yan once again mentioned the item that exists in the depths of memory, Nian's pair of silver-white eyes also raised his head to look at Yan.

Although the expressionless and empty eyes made it difficult to see what kind of message was being released, Yan told himself intuitively that the child wanted to go and taste it.

"All right."

Taking a deep breath, brushing away all the excess thoughts in his head, Yan pulled up Nian's little hand and walked towards the vendor of the grand trial, stretched out his hand and handed the ginger tea to Nian, said softly "drink slowly", and then picked it up himself. Another bowl of steaming ginger tea.

He took a gold coin directly from the small wallet on his waist, and was about to hand it over to the aunt, but stopped in mid-air—this situation overlapped with a certain memory deep in his head, but this time no one reached out Stop yourself from paying a gold coin.

"Miss Boss, is the ginger tea here worth a bowl of copper coins?"

"Oh, miss, you bought ginger tea from me before, right? The price used to be one copper coin, but after the war with the kingdom of swords, many supplies were scarce, so the price of a bowl had to be lowered. I'm really sorry for your misunderstanding."

Silently, Yan handed the gold coin to the other party, and shook his head and said "don't look for it".

"...In the past, it seems that some people really came to drink ginger tea from this store."

Not only this vendor, but everywhere in this street, there are memories of getting along with "that guy".

From being disgusted, wary, sad, and angry at the beginning, to finally becoming a good friend who can relax and talk, this is a process that any magician can't imagine.

At that time, my engagement was blocked by that guy, and at that time, I dedicated all of myself to the family.

After experiencing the war, dusty memories resurfaced.

"At that time, he was really casual and didn't have the slightest sense of being a captain."

Subconsciously looking at the child next to him who had finished drinking ginger tea, he found that there were still a few drops of liquid from the corner of his mouth slipping down to his chin, so Yan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the child clean.

"It's really a blessing to have such a mother. What's the name of this child?"

"Her name is—"

The instant he was about to speak subconsciously, Yan Mang looked at the child beside him who still didn't have the lively expression that a normal child should have.

"……read."

"Oh, that's a nice name."

"Thank you for the ginger tea."

After finishing the conversation with the proprietress, Yan Laqi reads to go to the final destination.

Saying this with a volume that only you can hear.

"Your name...it's not just reading."

Businessmen who have been walking on the street for a while and still set up stalls for business, compared with the deserted scene due to the war in the past, are indeed showing signs of gradual recovery.

I don't know if it's because every nobleman is busy helping the Huo family, but Yan hardly saw any signs of magicians along the way, and they were all ordinary people.

"Hurry up and go back to the house."

As soon as he thought that he was a magician but still stayed here, Yan had an action to stop shopping with this child as soon as possible, but whenever he had this thought, his body ran to other vendors without his control.

This time, I ran to a vendor specializing in children's clothing.

"Miss, I have a complete range of children's clothing here. There are all suitable clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are also clothes that you want to wear in all seasons. Like spring now, but there is still a season of cold wind, I highly recommend this row of clothes. , it is windproof but not stuffy, it is a very suitable coat for now!"

"...I used to buy some clothes for the children in the orphanage."

Spread out the pleasing clothes in front of the vendor, and check whether the clothes fit Nian's figure.

"Miss, take a look! There is such a cute child who looks like a doll. If it is my wife, I will be so excited. Come on, I think this dress is very beautiful too!"

"thanks."

At that time, I added money, food, and clothing for the children in the orphanage. I hope that by relying on these funds, the only orphanage in the Magic Kingdom can continue, so that those children without parents can continue to live with innocent smiles. Going down—these were all ruined one night.

"Miss, how about this! If you are willing to buy two more, I will give you a special discount. What do you think?"

"Bring me all the same size of this coat."

The way of spending money that is not like a commoner makes the boss suddenly startled, but when he thinks that there will be no nobles covering his face, the boss just thinks that the other party is a rich businessman.

"Okay! Then please take your time, I'll go get the clothes from the other row!"

A long time ago, this kind of action was also carried out, buying all the children's clothes from a certain store, and then donating them all in the name of "Xiao Yan".

Were those children looking forward to receiving new clothes before they were burned to death?

Pasha.

The child on the side gently pulled the corner of La Yan's clothes, and when Yan looked at the immature face, he got a slight shake of his head in response.

"..."

It is impossible to understand what this child named Nian wants to express.

However, if it's Xiaoya, she must think "because it's too expensive, don't you want to buy it for yourself?"

"It's okay, not only for Xiaoya, but also for other people in the orphanage."

Words squirmed out of his mouth naturally, Yan Cuo said "Hey" in astonishment, covering his mouth with both hands, his head felt hot and painful as if a scar had been uncovered.

Tread, tread, tread...

"Hey! Customer, customer, wait! Ah, it's rare that I have to put the clothes I prepared again!"

The violently beating heartbeat made it impossible for both feet to stand on the spot. The blood seemed to burst out so that Yan could clearly feel the flow. His head, vision and senses all felt hot and uncomfortable, so he could only gradually speed up his pace. .

As if running away, you can only move forward.

Pasha, boom.

I don't know what I'm thinking, I don't know what's going on with my actions. Halfway through the run, I felt the corner of my clothes being pulled, and then that petite body hugged Yan's side tightly.

Strangely, a warm feeling gently spread into Yan's heart, and the transmitted peace of mind made Yan's feet no longer keep moving forward because of restlessness.

"I...why, did I lie to myself...everyone in the orphanage died."

He hugged Yan Nian and stretched out his immature little hand, took Yan's right hand and put it on his snow-white hair, his empty and emotionless eyes couldn't see any message at all.

Hope to have a good touch and to be closer together.

For some reason, Yan came to such a conclusion in his mind.

"Why... When I saw it, I knew there was another survivor, but I chose to pretend I didn't know."

Even though Yan's fingertips touched the child's head, they still didn't shake. She didn't dare to just move her fingertips like this, because she deeply felt that she was not qualified to touch the child.

The child grabbed the right hand on the head and deliberately moved it on his head, forcibly making a gesture similar to stroking.

There was no disgust in those eyes, on the contrary, it was just like that, squinting his eyes happily, and leaning his cheek against Yan's body.

"sorry Sorry sorry."

Unable to suppress the violent swelling of emotions, Yan squatted down and hugged the child in front of him tightly, his cheeks tightly leaning against the other's tender face.

——It’s okay.

There was no sound, no breath appeared, and no information perceptually passed into Yan's head.

Strictly but clearly, he "heard" such words.
