next better

Near noon, the sun hung high hotly, clearly illuminating the sawdust that hadn't been cleaned up on the ground in the courtyard where Ye Ye lived.From a distance, a petite figure could be seen walking back and forth by the courtyard gate, hesitating as if she didn't know whether to go in or not, until her braid hanging on her chest was soaked in sweat When it was wet, she stomped into the yard as if she had made up her mind.

If Ye Ye got out of bed at this time and opened the door to see her, he would recognize that this was the little girl they had brought to play cards some time ago.The little girl's surname is Li, and her name is Qingqing. In the past, every time she saw Ye Ye, she always had a cold look on her face, as if she was looking at some kind of pest. But after playing cards together twice, she was coaxed by Ye Ye with a smile on her face. After a few times, the attitude eased a lot.

After all, the little girl is only ten years old this year, and she has never been out of the village and has never really seen any bad guys. With her blind trust and admiration for Zhou Zhouyi, she made a bad face at Ye Ye. He has a good-looking and good temper, and calls himself "Qingqing" one after another, and that little hatred falls down like a grass on the wall.

But the warnings from her parents are still in her ears. After all, Qingqing is a little scared of Ye Ye. Although she didn't sit far away when she came to play cards, she didn't dare to meet her eyes. If it wasn't for the last time before she left Knowing where it came from, a small wild flower stuck in her ear smiled softly, and she would not think of coming over to take a look when she hadn't seen anyone for four consecutive days.

Qingqing didn't know what happened, all she knew was that when she came to deliver meals these few days, she only saw the door of the monster's room was closed tightly, and there was no sound at all.

She was curious and worried, so she naturally asked Zhou Zhouyi, but the other party just looked at her with a smile and said that the other party was sick, so she asked her to go back quickly, and she didn't have to come here recently.

Perhaps it was a child's natural sensitivity, Qingqing didn't believe this argument, she wanted to refute that monsters could be sick, but she didn't say anything when she looked up and saw Master Zhou's expression.

Qingqing couldn't tell what was so weird about that expression, it was clear that Master Zhou was still smiling, but she felt that it was scary in her eyes, and she didn't look like she had seen before.

But even so, she still sneaked over after hearing that Master Zhou was going out this morning.

Curiosity really could have killed the cat.

She bent her body and padded her feet to approach the door quietly, squatted down and took a deep breath, then stretched out her hand to poke the wooden door, pushed it open a crack, and then poked her head to look inside.

He was facing Ye Ye who heard the sound and looked over.

Qingqing thought that she would see the other party lying on the bed, but she suddenly looked at her unpreparedly, and the words Zhou Xianshi said when she was standing at the door flashed in her mind, "Don't think he is good-looking, This is a millennium-year-old vixen who peels people's skin." He was frightened out of his wits in an instant, stood up and was about to run, but unexpectedly tripped with his front foot, Gululu fell down the steps at the door of the room.

She didn't feel any pain, and she was about to get up again after rolling and crawling, but she heard a heart-piercing cough from Ye Ye in the room, it was so pitiful.

After all, he was young and soft-hearted. Hearing the sound, he paused on the spot, and then hesitantly went back to the door. Seeing that the other party had no intention of chasing him out of bed at all, he was coughing non-stop with a pale face, and a little Sympathetic, thinking of the flowers inserted between his temples that day, he still bravely entered the room, went to the table and poured a glass of water.

The person on the bed barely stopped coughing, Qingqing stood far away holding a cup and looked at him, then slowly stretched out his arms little by little, and brought the water to Ye Ye's hand very reluctantly.

Although Ye Ye didn't know how Zhou Zhouyi talked about himself to the people in the village, but seeing the little girl's reaction during this time, he could think that it was not a good thing. Seeing her like this, he didn't care, but showed a grateful smile Came to take it, moistened his throat with water and finally found his own voice and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qingqing withdrew her hands and stood where she was. After confirming that Ye Ye really couldn't get out of bed, her expression relaxed a little, and she said with a slavish mouth, "I've been here to deliver food these days, but I haven't seen you, and I can't play cards, so come and see look."

Ye Ye just woke up and didn't have any idea. After thinking about it, he asked, "How long has it been since Qingqing saw me?"

"It's been four days." When Qingqing said this, she glanced at Ye Ye's bluish face, and her small eyebrows also frowned, as if she was a little hesitant.

Ye Ye touched his face: "What's wrong?"

"Master Zhou said you were sick." Qingqing said, "You...are you dying?"

Ye Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to hear such a straightforward question in his lifetime, he subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he caught a glimpse of the little girl's worried expression out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help being wicked, and coughed weakly twice on purpose : "It would be fine if I died, anyway, in your village..." He lowered his eyes with a heartbroken look, "You all hate me, don't you?"

The poor Qingqing, who was not experienced in the world, looked at Ye Ye's artificially sad face, opened her mouth again and again, wanted to refute but felt that this was true, and was so anxious that she couldn't care about the safe distance, she walked a few steps closer and stumbled on the road : "Although, that's true, but it's because you can eat people. If you don't peel people's skin and drink human blood in the future, and become a good monster, we...I will convince everyone not to hate you!"

Qingqing spoke very seriously, and Ye Ye was shocked when he heard it.

He was just teasing the children casually, but he knew his "true identity" just like that.But when you think about it, it is enough to say that you can tie yourself in the yard so openly and not let anyone get in touch with curiosity.

Ye Ye didn't have anything to reveal his true identity and sell miserably. He hoped that the little girl would save him and escape from birth. Part of the reason was that it was unkind to involve a child in the affairs between adults, and the other part was because Ye Ye wanted to It was Zhou Zhouyi who was soaking, and there was nothing to escape.

So Ye Ye could only be filled with emotions in his heart, nod obediently on his face, as if he had decided to change his mind and start a new life in the future, which made Qingqing, who had consciously persuaded a monster to turn around, happy.

A ten-year-old girl, who knows that a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, won't be afraid of any big monsters after getting Ye Ye's guarantee, so she squatted down in front of the bed, and was about to speak when she suddenly noticed The candied haws wrapped in oiled paper with only a bamboo stick exposed.

Qingqing reached out to pick it up suspiciously, only to find that the sugar coating of the candied haws had completely melted, dripping down sticky, if it wasn't for the paper bag, it would have dripped all over the bed.

"It's all melted and you still put it on the bed!" Qingqing raised her eyes and stared over, her tone was the same as that of Li's mother, "I don't know what you monsters are like, but if you put ants back here, you would be scared It's too late to cry, I'll just wait—"

Ye Ye was smiling and listening to the children's training, but from the corner of his vision, he suddenly saw that the sun from the door seemed to be covered, and subconsciously looked over, and saw Zhou Zhouyi standing at the door against the light.

His face was buried in a shadow, Ye Ye couldn't see clearly, he was startled, and heard Qingqing's last sentence in his ear

"—help you throw it away!"

The person at the door also took two steps in when this sentence fell, and asked slowly with a smile:

"Throw what?"

Qingqing turned her head when she heard the voice, and quickly swallowed her eyes after meeting with the immortal elder brother before she could speak. The intuition of a small animal made her take two steps back again and again, her heels were touching the foot of the bed, and she was nervous and calm. Dare to come out.

Ye Ye took the candied haws back quietly the first moment he saw Zhou Zhouyi, and then pretended nothing happened and said to him: "Qingqing said that there are too many sawdust at the door, and she will help us clean it later. threw."

Zhou Zhouyi said "oh", looked at Ye Ye and said slowly: "Isn't it candied haws?"

Ye Ye was sure: "It's not candied haws."

Zhou Zhouyi looked at Qingqing with a confident expression, "Why are you here?"

Ye Ye took up the conversation again: "She passed by and heard that I was coughing and was dying of coughing, so she came to help me."

Zhou Zhouyi paused, and looked up at Ye Ye.

Ye Ye looked back.

Zhou Zhouyi stared at him for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled at Qingqing, who pursed his lips and dared not speak, and said slowly: "So that's the case, thank you Qingqing. If you're fine now, go back."

He had a gentle tone and a warm expression, but Qingqing froze, nodded indiscriminately when she heard the words, and shook her head quickly when she heard the other party asking if she wanted to give it away, said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and ran out in a panic.

As soon as Qingqing left, there were only the two of them left in the room. Zhou Zhouyi watched the girl leave with his back to the person on the bed expressionless, and when he turned around, he smiled again: "Mr. how?"

"I'm a bit weak, but everything else is okay." While Ye Ye was talking, Zhou Zhouyi leaned over slowly, moved a chair and sat in front of the bed, and naturally took the water glass in Ye Ye's hand.

"That's good." Zhou Zhouyi said, he raised his hand and threw the water glass out of the window. Ye Ye heard a clear sound of porcelain shattering.

Ye Ye's gaze flew out with the cup, then turned back, and landed on Zhou Zhouyi's face.

Ye Ye blinked: "Are you angry?"

Zhou Zhouyi smiled: "How come?"

Why not.

Ye Ye's heart was turning back and forth, and he changed the subject obediently, picked up the candied haws and shook it: "You really bought it for me."

Zhou Zhouyi glanced at the candied haws: "Master Ye said he wanted it, so there's no reason why I wouldn't prepare it."

"It's a pity." Ye Ye said.

Zhou Zhouyi's eyes flickered, two small dimples appeared on his lips, and he said softly: "Don't you like it after turning into Mr. Ye?"

Looking at the beautiful and pale face of the young man in front of him, he asked softly and gritted his teeth: "Is that why you want to throw it away?"

He shouldn't be the one to ask such a question repeatedly, the intention is too obvious, and the emotion is too ostentatious... But Zhou Zhouyi still asked.

The boy didn't reply right away, but looked at him with surprise on his face. When Zhou Zhouyi was almost annoyed because of his dissatisfaction, the surprise on his face suddenly turned into a warm smile like melting winter snow.

He said, "I like it."

Zhou Zhouyi saw it in his eyes, he was lukewarm, and asked with a half-mocking half-smile: "Then why doesn't Mr. Ye eat it?"

After Zhou Zhouyi finished speaking, a certain part of his heart was a little funny. He felt like a child giving away melted candy to please others, and asked the other party to lick the candy wrapper to prove that it was really delicious.

And the boy raised his eyebrows to look at him, then he really opened the paper bag and bit off a hawthorn.Thinking about it, the melted icing was indeed too sticky, the boy only took one bite, and the red syrup was all over his mouth.

Like a good lip balm.

The young man licked his lips lightly, looked at Zhou Zhouyi and smiled, his peach blossom eyes were full of spring, and even his voice seemed to be soaked in honey: "It's so sweet."

"Zhou Zhouyi, do you want to give it a try?"

At this moment, Jing thought, as if he had returned to that night, the two sat at the table facing each other, and the young man Piao Piao asked, "Do you want to try?"

At that time, he agreed, so there is no need to ask.

Zhou Zhouyi smiled softly, and leaned over directly.

Lips and teeth crossed, he remembered that when he was still at the mountain gate, he had sniffed the rouge of his junior sister, the smell was not good, and it was not very delicious after thinking about it

It's not as sweet as this melted syrup.

The author has something to say: Don't look at Zhou Zhouyi's arrogance now, but Zhou Zhouyi will be crying in the future.

I thought that I could combine two chapters into one to write two people going to the Changkong Gate, but then I found that I couldn't.

After the world is over, I am afraid that it will not be the leader of the thief.
