gentle and affectionate

Chapter 50.

When you wake up, the first thing you see is the golden paper door reflected by the sun, exuding soft warmth.The slightly cool wind overflowed from the unclosed door, carrying a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms.

Although it was already dawn, my mind was still in a trance for a moment. I rubbed my face, and when I moved my arms, it moved other parts of my body, so the pain in some hidden places made me clear for a moment——

last night……

I woke up with a jerk, and the memory rushed to me in an instant.The scorching and passionate kiss, the scorching body temperature entering the body, the skin that has been caressed inch by inch, and his soft coaxing in the ear... The scenes are vivid and fragrant, compared with the little pornographic books I have read before It's even worse than that, and it's the kind that will be beeped off.

Just thinking about it made me feel flushed, I patted my face, and felt the burning heat of my body pressed against each other.I lightly pushed away Hei Gang's hand on my shoulder, and supported him with my elbows to climb up to look at him. Hei Gang, who had always been a light sleeper and woke up early, hadn't woken up for the first time, and his breathing was long and deep.I poked his face with my hand, and Mr. Ninja, who has always had outstanding reflexes, didn't respond. It seemed that he was really in a deep sleep.

Amazing.

"Sleeping so soundly."

After confirming that he was not pretending to be asleep, I sighed in my heart that the amount of work done actively and passively is different.It was rare for Hei Gang to wake up late. I looked at him with my elbow resting on my chin, and suddenly remembered that when I was in Pifulu, I crept up to see his sleeping face. She spent most of the night catching the drunk Sakura and the culprit Mokona.

Looking at the sleeping face of my beloved like this makes me feel that my whole heart is filled with warmth.

After watching this for a while, I felt drowsy again. I thought that Hei Gang hadn't woken up yet, so it would be fine if I went back to sleep.But before I could close my eyes, Heigang suddenly moved, and the quilt slid down a little bit, so I was lucky enough to witness the heroic nail prints on this man's chest.

This...yesterday...

The eclectic scene appeared in front of my eyes again. I looked at Heigang, at my hands, and then at the criss-crossing scratches on his chest. I swallowed, and suddenly felt that right and wrong should not last long, so I decided to wash it off first. Sober up your face.

Putting on a coat and preparing to get out of bed, but he didn't want his waist and legs to be so weak that he couldn't control it. His body seemed to be falling apart, and there were bursts of dull pain in the unspeakable place. Let alone going to the bathroom, even Whether you can stand up or not is a question.

"Really, this piece of black charcoal..."

I complained in a low voice, endured the soreness with great difficulty and stood up, dragged my sore legs slowly to the bathroom, washed my face with clean water, and then looked left and right at the person in the mirror.

The lips are red and swollen, there are dark hickey marks on the neck, fingerprints are left on the shoulders, and there are teeth marks on the collarbone. It can be seen that the battle last night was intense.Looking at the clear image in the bronze mirror, I can only praise the quality of life in Bailucheng, and then silently think about how to wear the Japanese wide kimono to cover up these ambiguous traces.

Moreover, when Hei Gang woke up, he wanted to say something to him.

While rinsing my mouth, I fiddled with my clothes.

"Did the clothes invite you?"

I was tossing vigorously here, when I heard Heigang's voice suddenly, I was so frightened that I gulped down all the mouthwash in my mouth and choked to death.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"You slow down..."

Hei Gang was speechless, sighed and came over to help me pat my back.He didn't know when he got up, and at the moment, like me, he was only wearing a jacket, but it was not fastened, and it hung loosely on his body, revealing a few red "marks of love", which made my thinking jump again Back to last night, his face became hot again.I stopped looking at him and turned around to straighten my messy sleeping hair.

He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door looking at me.

"Your hair grows long."

"..."

"Keep it, it's fine."

"……Um."

I answered vaguely.He seldom said such words, which made me a little uncomfortable, but the little joy in my heart was also true, not only because of his praise—the love thread that I cut off in order to forget, finally no longer related to sin , and now, it is stored again for another person.

What's more, what he said was exactly what I thought in my heart.

I combed it for a while, tied it briefly with a hair rope at the back of my head, and then took the blindfold and put it on again.During this period, Hei Gang has been leaning against the door and looking at me. Of course, such a quiet company is very reassuring, but after a long time, it made me feel a little uncomfortable. I packed up and wanted to go back, but turned around, not wanting to disturb Somewhere overused, the steps I took felt unnatural for a moment.

I subconsciously looked in the direction of Heigang, and saw that his gaze was also on my lower body, and I was instantly embarrassed, but there was nothing to hide, so I simply cleared my throat and broke my can.

"Why, you don't know how to help me?"

"puff……"

Hei Gang rarely laughed out loud, and he walked up to me, without complaining a word, but avoided my hand, squatted down halfway, and hugged me up.

"Help me up."

I hurriedly hugged his neck, worried that I would fall directly from his back, but he hummed and said nothing, with an expression of "how could it possibly fall", just holding my leg firmly , I stretched out my hand to pull his ear, but he tilted his head to avoid it.

"be honest."

He pretended to scold me, then gently put me back on the soft mattress, and opened the paper door to ventilate.

"What to eat?"

Although I don’t need to eat any more, and my sense of taste has been greatly degraded as early as in Infinite City, but after I received the blood of Heigan and the magic treatment from Princess Tomoyo, I gradually began to be able to taste some flavors, especially Some are sweeter.Hei Gang and I were very happy when I discovered this by accident a few days ago, remembering that we had no conditions and no mood to eat these things when we were in Unlimited City. Eating is a waste of time and money.

And although I'm not picky about sweets, my favorite is of course...

"Osmanthus Cake with Honey!"

I don't know if it's thanks to Mr. Hei's hot temper before, the servants who serve are very smart, and not long after the news came out, breakfast and tea are all available.Hei Gang ate his breakfast, and I ate my pastries. It looked like a real couple in someone else's family.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had the illusion of time folding, as if we were not just acquainted for two years, but partners who had lived together for many years, getting up early in the morning, chatting and drinking tea.

And later, when the role-playing evolved to exotic magicians and Suwa lords, I was so abused at night that I couldn’t get out of bed, and I grabbed the pillow and beat the black lord violently the next morning. I occasionally recalled that year in Egret City In the beautiful morning, I always felt how funny I was when I was young and nervous, but... how nostalgic.

"What are you dazed for?"

By the time I realized it, Heigan had already made refreshments and sat opposite me.I blinked and looked at him, probably because the shyness and tension that I was at a loss before were dispelled because of this natural relationship, and I finally felt at ease, as if the dust had settled, and there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

For this person in front of me, I undoubtedly like him very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that I love him deeply, but because of my life experience, I have been worried that I will be implicated in him, so I have escaped and rejected for so long. Hurt, and I don't have the courage to go on together.

It's not so much that I don't believe in Heigang, it's better to say that I don't believe in myself.

I have been bound by the sins of the past for many years, and I hate myself deeply from the bottom of my heart. Even existence is wrong, but the sins of the past are a foregone conclusion, and it has become a heaviness that cannot be corrected no matter how much I repent.

Even if I die now, there is no way to make up for the fault, how can people breathe.

But when I decided to die and return to Thrace, I found the original redemption there - my brother, the king who was like a father to me, and the one who valued me more than his life Beloved, I just realized that even though the past cannot be changed, as long as I have them, I can believe that there is still hope——

It turns out that I can also be loved, and I have always been deeply loved by those who love me the most.

And he and I were jealous when we met for the first time, and then almost missed it. Later, we seemed to be together, but we never had any hope for the future, because we had no clue, because we could avoid it, or for other reasons, and now... maybe Both body and soul are indispensable factors in love, or perhaps this is also a kind of sublimation. Even though the road ahead is dangerous and the road ahead is unknown, I still have this feeling:

Ah, this is the person in front of me who will spend the rest of my life with me.

"... black steel."

Hei Gang paused with his chopsticks, probably because he hasn't heard me call him that for a long time, or because he thought of something bad. After all, I haven't had any good memories of calling him that.

So, create good memories together.

I take a deep breath,

"We'll be together, no matter where we go."

He blinked his eyes in surprise, and then, his wine-red eyes seemed to light up like stars.I forgot how I finished my breakfast peacefully that day, and then I only remember the lingering kiss bathed in the morning light, the two beating hearts pressed together, and him whispering in my ear:

"Most definitely."

In the next few days, we got the news that Emperor Amaterasu had returned to the court, but instead of going with the army, we directly asked Princess Zhishi to do a magic circle to hide and come back alone.Such a wayward emperor is really rare in the eyes of us foreigners, and Hei Gang, the only native, stayed alone in the study, his face darkened for half an hour. I went to see him secretly during the period, and vaguely heard He complained a few words, "Why does the emperor always think of it as soon as he comes out?", and then prepared a draft plan on how to praise the army to appease the army when the army returned. , passed a few words to the emperor, and by the way made Hei Gang's face darker for a while.

Based on this, Heigang has a lot of opinions on the matter of meeting the emperor, threatening "I don't get along with that woman anyway", and willfully refused to go out. I can't take care of this is Japan's housework, but we Regarding the matter of visiting Sakura, they still maintained a high degree of agreement. After discussing, they decided to go and see the next day, and also pay a visit to the emperor by the way.

I looked at Hei Gang's reluctant face and teased him "I really love my daughter's good father". Will not hit me... Although it directly caused me to sleep until after noon, and I was inconvenient to move. As a result, the visit plan had to be postponed for one day, and Hei Gang was fined by me for not drinking for an extra day. Outsiders also know.

Finally, on this day, Hei Gang and I got up early, dressed and washed, Princess Zhishi, Xiaolang and Mokona, who had been living in other courtyards, came over together. The four of us had dinner together, and then we went to visit Sakura together. .

The wound on Sakura's body has been healed long ago, but because her body and soul are separated, there is nowhere to get nourishment, so she always lives in the inner palace. Every day after the sun rises, she is placed in the palace courtyard for thousands of years. On the tree, the essence of ancient wood is used to infuse essence into the body.

The four of us walked on the trestle bridge, not far away were towering ancient trees and full of cherry blossoms.

"It's the same name as her, Sakura."

The little wolf walked more and more anxiously. After approaching the ancient tree, he almost ran. After a few steps, he jumped onto the ancient tree and returned to the princess he had guarded for a long time. Some playful, but tacit understanding.

At such a lovely time exuding the love atmosphere of boys and girls, the sudden sound of footsteps seemed particularly abrupt. Hei Gang and I looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw a woman in luxurious clothes and a female ninja in a bunt , speaking with a more majestic and heroic female voice than Tomoyo:

"You're back, Black Steel."

"Oh no."

Hei Gang's complexion suddenly became unhappy, but he couldn't lose face completely, so he simply responded.I bent the corner of my mouth, guessing from Heigang's attitude and her clothes, she should be the legendary Japanese empress who is extremely self-willed but very wise.

The general's handling of the emperor is probably not in line with the etiquette. The bronze-colored beauty behind the emperor is obviously not happy, but Amaterasu himself is not annoyed. Unidentified smile.

"After returning from this trip, it seems to have improved a bit."

"Ah?"

"Guests are also welcome to take a break in this city," Amaterasu quickly changed the subject, leaving only Hei Gang who was confused and confused, "But you still want to continue traveling?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of us, including Xiaolang, all straightened up. I secretly admired this empress in my heart. She really is a generation of Mingjun, and her sense of humor is really extraordinary.

Faced with the seriousness of the three of us, the empress only smiled very faintly, signaling us to relax a bit, and then looked sideways behind her with a meaningful expression.

"By the way, there is another guest."

We looked over there and saw an unexpected guest.

It was a person who was both an enemy and a friend in a lonely city where we fled to where there was no grass, but because of the agreement with Miss Witch, he helped us directly and indirectly many times.

"Fengzhen—"

I pressed my temples and felt as if something was about to happen.But after all, Feng Zhen once helped us a lot in Tokyo (although I only heard about it later), Mo Kena jumped into Feng Zhen's hands excitedly to say hello to him.

"Long time no see!" Feng Zhen also greeted it, "That being said, I don't know if the time I experienced is the same as yours."

"Are you coming to Japan to find something?" Mokona asked.

"No, I'm here to deliver something."

After speaking, he glanced at Hei Gang and me, then took out a long bag from behind, and slowly opened it——

The transparent elongated container, the mechanical item soaked in the liquid, seems to be in the shape of a human arm.

I was surprised, I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"What's that?" Black Steel asked.

"It's a prosthetic hand. I didn't have time to find the covering skin. The shape doesn't look good enough. I'm sorry," he apologized slightly, "but I think you will need it."

I took a peek at Heigang, and saw that his expression was a bit dignified, and his sword eyebrows were also tightly frowned.

"Why did you bring it here... No, you should ask before that," Hei Gang paused, "Why do you know?"

"Miss Yuko told me, this is another agreement I mentioned in Tokyo, besides being a porter from time to time, I have another agreement with Miss Yuko."

"This is obtained in another highly developed world of machinery," Feng Zhen added, "it is a country called 'Piffle'."

"... What's the price?"

"I've already got it, it was given to me by Miss Yuko."

"I didn't give anything to the witch..."

Hei Gang replied subconsciously, but the words that should have been said stopped abruptly here, and he turned his head towards me suddenly - even if I didn't look at him, I could know the expression on his face.I turned my head to look at him, and saw that the expression on his face was the same as I imagined, and my heart became more relieved for a moment:

He Xi, tonight, see this beloved man.

What else is there to be unwilling about?

"I promised to give it to the witch," I smiled, "while you were asleep."

I think it goes without saying that he also thought of it. When I came back from visiting Sakura that day, I leaked the story of seeing Miss Witch. I remember that it almost made him angry.That day I went to discuss this matter with Miss Witch for the second time. I didn’t want to have the unexpected joy of finding the original blue butterfly. For me, it was double happiness, so I was so happy that day.

I smiled at him and signaled not to worry, then resolutely, probably for the last time in my life, I recited the magic spell.

My own sky-blue seal floated in front of my right palm, and I felt the magic being drained from my body, with the cloudless sky in the background.

The magic that was born with the body seems to be unaccustomed to being suddenly removed in this way; the body supported by the remaining magic may face the torment of old injuries again, and may thirst for more blood; Aging faster... Oh, I almost forgot that I was a vampire, so to put it another way, let me grow old with him, and then go to the end hand in hand, that's it.

But those are nothing to be afraid of, because I already have him.

There wasn't much left of the magic left, and soon they condensed into blue crystals in the palm of my hand, that was me, the color of our eyes.

"Fay, your eyes... turned gold."

"Because the blue of my eyes is the source of magic power," I explained with a smile, "Mocona, pass this on to Miss Witch."

"But..." The little guy hesitated.

"Don't worry, I can see it," I calmed down its uneasiness, "this is just my... last magic power."

"No, if you lose your magic power, Fay..."

The little guy was quite frightened, afraid that he thought I was going to commit suicide. I laughed even deeper, feeling happy because the little guy was worried about me.

"It's okay, even if I give this to him, I won't die, the blood of the vampire will keep me alive,"

I turned my head and looked at another person who was also worried about me. The latter's eyebrows were about to be knotted, and I didn't know whether to laugh or be moved.

I looked at him deeply, intoxicated in his wine-red eyes, the sweetness and sourness intertwined in his chest, even the eye sockets were hot, let me know that I am very happy now.

"I will not exchange my life for it."

"Never again."
