The evolution of magicians

"I want to join the special attack team." These were the first words Feitan said after looking at Yunxi after entering the door.

"... What about you?" This is the second sentence.Before Yunxi answered, she subconsciously looked at Xiu who was shuffling the cards at the table.

"I pass." Xiu's answer was concise and clear, he was more inclined to act alone than in groups.

"Sorry, Fei Tan." Yunxi's expression was very serious, as if he had made up his mind.

"...Humph." Fei Tan walked into the backyard with his hands in his pockets, and didn't come out until dinner.

Dongdong, Yunxi stood at the door of Feitan's room with a plate of snacks in his hand, knocked lightly twice and then pushed open the door. The latter was lowering his head to fiddle with some kind of utensil, and didn't even hum when he saw him go in.

"...This is..." Yunxi's eyes widened for a moment, the thing in Fei Tan's hands was not unfamiliar to them at all, because he had been forced to experience countless times in District 9...

"Why, are you still afraid?" Ironically, the experience of being abused for a long time has profoundly affected Feitan's character and even his hobbies. He likes pain, longs for pain, and he also likes to impose these on others, especially when they endure The moment when he can't stop showing his true nature and begging for mercy in pain... can bring him unparalleled pleasure.

"How can you not be afraid..." Yunxi smiled helplessly, and the latter showed a slightly sarcastic expression when she heard it. Yunxi put the plate in her hand on the low table by the wall, then sat on the edge of the bed and just watched Follow Feitan to fiddle with the utensils in his hand.

"Fei Tan." After a while, Yunxi spoke after considering the words in his heart.

"I don't think only pain can prove that we are alive. At least we still have memories... happy, wronged, and painful. I will never forget the past that I have experienced with you in this life." Feitan is a sensitive and extreme person. Man, never lie or betray him, that's what Yunxi knows about him.

"Hey, why... are you already planning to part ways with me?" Feitan knew that the other party didn't mean that, but Fei Tan liked to tease the other party in such small ways.

"You...Fei Tan, don't be so mean-hearted, be careful that no girl will like you in the future." Yunxi pouted and said childishly, a trace of pink crept up his ears quietly, all of which were caught in someone's eyes.

"Hmph, save this to talk to that kid." Fei Tan said to Yunxi while continuing to play with the newly acquired toy.

"The woman named Anna in District 4 is not simple." Combined with the information he got from Huang Mao today, Fei Tan told Yunxi his inference.

"You said... Anna might actually be Simon's person?!" Xiu told him what Anna said after he fell into a coma that day. Assuming Feitan's deduction is correct, it can explain why she said 'Leonard There was no need to die now'.Because if Leonard hadn't died then, Simon could still use him to keep Nat in check for a while, and Anna's lurking was actually for some other purpose. Only the favor owed will help them kill Leonard.

"Finks... is that yellow hair. He said that Nat recently lost something very important, and that Anna disappeared at this time."

"He even told you this?" Yunxi was slightly surprised.

"Heh... after I agreed to join his team." The information can be found out by myself in a few days, so it's better to tell it earlier to sell favors, that stupid big man is not as stupid as he looks.

"...What are your plans for the future?" Yunxi knew that Feitan would not be with them forever, and there was always a banquet in the world. In Meteor Street, no one could tell whether they would die in the next moment, so they often only cherished the present.

"This is the question I want to ask, right..." Fei Tan finally put down the things in his hand, he straightened his body and leaned slightly towards Yunxi, and with the latter's calm expression, he used his fingers to pick up a bunch of hair on the other side's cheek. After letting the smooth hair slide through her fingertips... pinch the end of the hair and push it lightly.

"...Fei Tan!" Feeling deeply 'molested', Yunxi blushed a little bit angrily, he secretly scolded this precocious little brat from where he learned this kind of... movements to be used on a 'big man' like him .

"...If you are still so weak, you will die in front of that kid sooner or later." Fei Tan spit out the cruel words, and looked at Yunxi with satisfaction and instantly turned pale.

"Fei Tan, you can teach..." Yunxi mustered up the courage to speak after being silent for a long time.

"No." Fei Tan shook off the hair in his hand unhappily, he didn't know where the unknown fire in his heart came from, anyway he felt very uncomfortable.

"You teach me, I...I promise you one condition." Promises are very precious. This is about the pride of Meteor Street people, so they never make promises lightly.

"Oh? Agree to anything?" Fei Tan squinted his eyes and kept approaching until Yunxi had to press his back against the wall.

"...Hmm." I always felt like I agreed to something extraordinary, but Feitan's one-on-one training was really too tempting. Yunxi thought that Feitan would not ask him to kill Xiu anyway, so it should... be fine.

"Okay." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the tenderness that disappeared in that instant almost made Yunxi think that he was underestimated.

After making an appointment with Fei Tan for the daily training time, Yunxi came out of his room, he hesitated and knocked on the door of Xiu's room.

"Xiu... I'm coming in." Pushing open the door, Xiu Xiu was wearing a pair of trousers on his lower body, while his upper body was shirtless and sitting on the bed to build a poker tower.

"Yunxi is always biased..." Seeing Yunxi making snacks in the kitchen after a meal, Xiu knew it must be for the guy next door, and he curled his lips a little aggrieved, hoping to get some comfort from the latter.

"Xiu..." Yunxi didn't listen at all. After seeing Xiu, all he could think of was the scene of him killing himself in the alley this morning.

"I just want to tell you one thing." After struggling for a long time, Yunxi still decided not to make it clear. Since Xiu didn't want him to know, let's pretend he didn't know anything.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xiu didn't inherit Sheila's character at all, maybe she was like her father... Yunxi thought dazedly.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will never leave. For me...Xiu will always be Xiu, my beloved younger brother."

Seeing Yunxi's serious expression, Xiu thought for a moment that what he had done had been exposed, but then he thought about it, so what if it was exposed, Yunxi also said that he would not leave him... If he betrayed his promise...he would...

Yunxi was a little surprised that he didn't miss the flash of murderous intent on Xiu's body, but his life was given by Sheila and Xiu, and he trusted Xiu from the bottom of his heart.

"Yunxi promised to stay by my side forever?" Xiu loosened his hand holding the cards. The young man's fingers were fair and slender, and he had already shown his beautiful embryonic form when he grew up.

"Yeah." Until you don't need me...until I die... Yunxi's blue eyes are full of reflections of Xiu's face, only his shadow.

"...You promised me." Xiu suddenly ignored the scattered cards on the bed and stepped forward to pull Yunxi into his arms.

"Well... I promise you." Yunxi reached out to hug him back, and he rubbed his chin on his warm shoulder dotingly. In his previous life, he was an only child, but in this life he had not only friends but also a younger brother.

You promised me... I remembered, Xiu hugged the boy in his arms tightly, and the figures of the two flickered under the orange candlelight, as if this life was frozen here...until death.

Time flew by, winter passed and spring came... and in the early summer of the second year, two unexpected new neighbors appeared next to them.It's a slightly hot afternoon...

"Excuse me...Does Xiu live here?" At this time, Yunxi was sitting on the doorstep mending the clothes of the two people. Although life is not as difficult as before, Yunxi still chooses to repair some small holes by himself. For a moment, the two of them would probably throw it away wastefully.

"Hello, may I ask who you are..." Yunxi looked up, and the approaching girl was obviously stunned for a second. He simply put down the needle and thread in his hands and stood up. He combed his long hair into a ponytail for fear of trouble. But it's not enough to be mistaken for a girl, he thought.

"Ah, I'm sorry...I'm Elsa, I met Xiu before... I heard that he lives near here, so I want to visit him. This, this is a meeting gift...Please accept it." A 15-year-old young girl with dark red hair Long hair, big brown eyes blinking and looking very cute, Yunxi smiled and accepted a basket of soft-looking bread while being a little surprised.

"He should be back soon, do you want to come in and wait?" Judging from the other party's clothes and gifts, this girl should be living a relatively well-off life. It's been a long time since I saw this kind of child on Meteor Street... Hehe.

"...Well, thank you." Elsa bowed politely, and followed Yunxi into the house as if not at all suspicious.

Although there is no cozy arrangement in the living room, it is clean and simple. Elsa took the water glass from Yunxi and sat on the chair nervously. Yunxi cut an apple from the kitchen. A bunch of apples appeared, and both Xiu and Feitan seemed to have a soft spot for this kind of fruit.He looked at the girl who was gnawing on the fruit across the way, and asked in embarrassment breaking the silence.

"How did you and Xiu meet?" Yunxi didn't let her guard down just because she was a girl. The reason why she let her into the room was on the one hand to test her out, and on the other hand to see that the other party didn't understand reading.

"Ah...well, I used to work at the material exchange point in District 4, and Xiu would often come to exchange things, so..." Elsa was a little apprehensive, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that these words should not be said casually, but thinking of Anna If so, relax a little.

"Oh? Then why did you come to District 5?" Yunxi rested her chin in one hand and stared at the girl's slightly flushed face. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with a 10-year-old child questioning her older sister.

"I came with my brother... Sister Anna said... Ah!" The girl covered her mouth with a pale face when she realized that she had said Anna's name, but the gentle smile on the boy's face made her feel less scared gradually.

"Don't worry, it's fine." The smiling Yunxi affirmed a few things in her heart. First, Anna is indeed from Simon, and she has now completed her mission and returned to District 5; second, she has brought back at least one of her attributes Next, this girl is his dependent; finally, this girl likes Xiu.

"Yunxi, are there any guests?" A pair of slender hands pushed open the door, and the two looked sideways, only to see Xiu standing at the door with his back turned.

"Xiu! I finally saw you..." The moment the girl rushed towards Xiu, Yunxi saw Xiu's twitching fingertips, but he finally stopped and patted the girl's shoulders around his chest a few times. Xi didn't feel strange when he knew that the girl liked Xiu just now, but when he saw this scene, his heart ached slightly, and he pressed his chest with some doubts.

"...It's Elsa." Xiu remembered her name because of her good memory, Yunxi told herself.

"Xiu, my brother and I moved next door... Will we see each other more often?" Elsa said cautiously, Xiu still remembers her to this day... so can I think that I am still a little... special?

"Sa... I don't know, I'm often not at home." Xiu gently pushed the girl away, he walked into the room and looked at Yunxi who was sitting on the chair without saying a word, and stepped forward to put his hand on Yunxi's shoulder asked.

"what happened?"

"...It's okay, maybe I just caught a cold." Seeing that the two boys obviously wanted to talk, Elsa said with a wink, please take care of me, and left.Watching the girl gradually walk away through the door and window, Yunxi turned to look at Xiu.

"Xiu...do you like her?" Yunxi's heart was pounding, he didn't know why he was so nervous, he just thought it was because his younger brother might...puppy love?But looking at Xiu's height, which is obviously a bit taller than his peers, he doesn't look like a ten-year-old child.

"Like it? Hehe~" Xiu sat down next to Yunxi, took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into the mouth next to him. He pointed his index finger at the latter's bulging cheek and said.

"Her brother Naiden joined the special attack team, and Anna came back to continue to be in charge of supplies. This girl is very useful."

"...Xiu, although I don't object to your association with her, I won't let her enter this room again." I don't know if I was angry that Xiu didn't answer my question clearly, obviously I invited her into the room first, but Now Yunxi didn't really want to see that girl anymore.

"Letting outsiders enter the house casually, Fei Tan will probably be unhappy..." Originally, he was just looking for an excuse, but Yunxi didn't expect that Xiu would grab his wrist the next moment. He raised his head and looked at those silver eyes. See indifference in each other's eyes for the first time.

"Then let Fei Tan move out." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shadow appearing at the door, it was Fei Tan who had just returned home.
