I bent the devil

There were people coming and going on the street, the voices were buzzing, there were shouts full of vitality everywhere, a scene of prosperity, but the two standing among them seemed to be isolated from these atmospheres, standing quietly, It's like two different spaces next to it.

The young man who was already a little shorter than himself looked down slightly at the hand holding his elbow, but he never raised his eyes to look at him.Song Qingyi knew that at this time, he should speak nonchalantly as usual, and say no to the person in front of him with a gentle tone and a gentle attitude.

But these things that I should be used to doing in normal times, I can't say anything at this moment.

Because of some intense emotion that had just suddenly arisen in him.

The unilateral beating in the alley has stopped, because Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi stayed at the alley for a long time, which caused the attention and attention of several teenagers inside. They seem to have lived in the alley for a long time, even from birth. Like the ants at the bottom, there is an innate awe for people who are neatly dressed and full of looks.

At this moment, he turned his head vigilantly and anxiously, and left through another exit of the alley.

Like a stray dog ​​who accidentally walked into a busy street, with its tail between its legs and eyes full of panic, it only dared to stick to the corner of the wall and walk forward without being noticed.

...How similar to my young self who just wandered back then.

Starvation, cold, and beatings are commonplace. At that time, the only thing to do was to curl up as much as possible to make yourself smaller and smaller, so that your ribs would not be broken during such beatings, and even It hurts the internal organs.

Song Qingyi still remembered that before he met Wang Er, he had seen a little beggar who was his own age, but he was kicked in the stomach, and died of pain for a day and a night.

The cause of death was that his intestines were broken by that kick.

Some emotions will become more intense after being suppressed because there is no breakthrough to vent, at least Song Qingyi is like this.A nameless fire comes from the bottom of my heart, like a demon in the darkness, entwined around you and tempting you to fall with words.

Needless to say such emotions and thoughts, he knew very well that it was definitely not what Gu Jiushou liked and could accept.

However, it has been suppressed for a long time, and after the sudden leak today, there is no way to shut this thought back into the bottom of my heart.

...like getting out of control.

The man who has transformed from a teenager to a young man has gradually calmed down with picturesque eyebrows and quiet brows.But those dark jade eyes seemed to flicker slightly because of some words that could not be easily said, hesitating and struggling.

But without explanation.

Song Qingyi pursed her lips.

--"I'm jealous."

Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look at Song Qingyi, who was unwilling to meet his eyes at the moment, so he slightly tilted his head and looked away. His profile was handsome and elegant, and his temperament was moist and gentle.At this moment, looking over from Gu Jiu's angle, one can clearly see his long, straight, black feather-like eyelashes, with sunlight hanging at the end, drooping slightly, covering up the expression in his eyes, and only casting a row of small fans with unknown meanings on his eyes. General shade.

Some words seem to go smoothly once they are spoken.

But Song Qingyi still lowered his eyes, unwilling to look at Gu Jiu whose eyes were fixed on his face at this moment.

"I'm jealous of your kindness to those...people." The mandible with perfect lines moved slightly, and there was a moment of silence, "...so these..."

The rest of the words were not exported, but they were self-evident.

Gu Jiu instantly felt relieved, amused and slightly sour at the same time.The heart that seemed to be squeezed tightly by something a moment ago, so uncomfortable that it couldn't cry out, was let go now.He looked at Song Qingyi who had half-closed his eyes and was unwilling to look at him, and slowly stretched out his other hand to cover the back of his hand that was already tightly grasping his elbow.

The softness and warmth of the palm made Song Qingyi's originally motionless eyelashes slightly tilted, like a butterfly flapping its thin wings.But other than that, there was no other movement, and even those who noticed the slight movement of his eyelashes would have the illusion of 'maybe it's just a coincidence'.

However, Gu Jiu felt that it was not.

There was no reason, but it was due to the self-consciousness of being together during this period of time, and the understanding of Song Qingyi now.

Heart... astringent and swollen.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but pursed his lips, and then slowly opened his mouth while thinking about his words. "... Tsing Yi."

"I'm sorry I...wasn't by your side for such a long time." Apologized again.

"The former ones, I don't know how to restore and make up for them, but..."

Song Qingyi turned her head slowly, looked deeply at Gu Jiu, and said nothing, but her expression was always indifferent and habitual, and at the moment, although her face was expressionless, she seemed solemn.

He was waiting for Gu Jiu to promise him.

Gu Suu took a deep breath slowly, and looked at him seriously.

"I promise that I will always be with you now and in the future." She smiled slightly, her brows were clean.

"I will definitely...not leave easily."

I promise.

Song Qingyi looked at Gu Jiu who was looking straight at him with a serious expression.The negative and irritable emotions that were hovering in his heart, even he himself felt that he could no longer suppress them, calmed down just because of the words of the person in front of him.

It was like the tameness of a ferocious beast after being groomed again.

...Li Ansong Qingyi himself felt incredible.Yet it felt natural.

The lips that had been pressed tightly before were slightly relaxed, although they were still pressed, but the sharpness and chill just now were gone, Song Qingyi looked at Gu Jiu without saying a word.

At this moment, I want to lean over and kiss the corner of his smiling eyes.

Fortunately, my reason is still there, and I can stabilize my mind from the feeling of warmth.There was only a low 'hmm'.

The voice is mellow and solemn.

As long as it is what you say, I will believe it.I have no faith, I only believe in you.

Song Qingyi slowly let go of Gu Jiu's elbow, watched him give him a comforting smile, ran towards the alley, smiled to comfort the young man who looked like a frightened bird, and asked him carefully and gently if he could still moving words.

I can't help but think, if Gu Jiu had been by my side all the time, what he... would be like now.

—————————————————————

The young man staggered away after getting the food and half a piece of silver from Gu Jiu. While running, he stuffed the food into his mouth and looked back at Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi who were standing there vigilantly. I was afraid that the person who gave me money would suddenly regret it and chase me to get it back.

This kind of thing has not happened before. Some bad-tempered rich men like to play this kind of game. First, they throw a piece of silver at random, and when they just smiled happily and kept bowing to thank them, they shouted at themselves After stealing his money, the joy on his face had not completely dissipated, and when his eyes were still full of doubts, what was waiting was punches and kicks from the servants next to him.

He could only squat down to protect his vitals, and at the same time he was aggrieved, resentful and sad, accompanied by the laughter of the elder brother next to him.

So don't hide what you have to eat, it's yours only if you eat it right away.Someone rewarded him with money, so he took it and ran away.

gratitude?Except for the young man who stuffed his mouth full while looking back vigilantly, no one knew whether such emotions had ever arisen in his heart.

Gu stood there watching, not disappointed because he didn't get any grateful words or eyes, but once again felt the malice and meaninglessness of this world.In the world he lives in, there are also many unfair things, and there are also many ugly and unsightly things.

But at least he can know that there is still beauty and goodwill in that world around him, or through various channels.

When he was crossing the road, he could inadvertently see a young girl with a cold face and an impatient face holding the old woman next to her who was trying to run a red light, frowning and teaching her a lesson.You can also see old people coming up on the bus. Some people choose to ignore them or even pretend to be asleep, but some people stand up and give up their seats.

Even just the mother sitting on the seat with the child in her arms, when the child mischievously tried to throw the paper she had been playing with out of the window, the mother gently patted her hands and taught her "this will cause trouble for the grandparents who are responsible for cleaning the streets." ' and the like.

In Gu Jiu's view, these are acts of kindness and 'righteousness' to strangers.It is part of chivalry.

However, here, Gu Jiu didn't see it from the so-called upright martial arts or aristocratic families around him.

He only saw the Song family's glamor on the surface, but the internal power struggle.There are also those teenagers who killed indiscriminately on the road almost innocently, leaving dead fish fry that were hit by various hidden weapons and even stones and floated on the water surface and the shore.

No one stopped, and no one scolded.Even they, including the so-called martial arts leader Song Yi, didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Even now, at a distance of only a few steps, the scene of two worlds is being played out.On one side are the streets full of flowers and crowds, and on the other side are dilapidated alleys.

But are these really 'correct'?In other words, is it a 'little thing' that martial arts people who are happy to be kind and enmity don't need to care about?

Gu didn't know it for the time being, but it was in his heart.These are all wrong.

"Tsing Yi." Gu Jiu looked at the alley where the boy had long since disappeared, and at that moment felt that the alley was slightly distorted, as if leading to a world he would never want to go to.Without thinking, he murmured to Song Qingyi who was standing behind him.

"What do you think... the rivers and lakes should be like?"

Is that so?

The young man behind him didn't speak immediately, but after a few breaths of silence, the voice slowly came from behind Gu Jiu.

"I don't know what the Jianghu should be like, but if..." Wei Wei paused, "If you don't like this Jianghu, I can make it what you want."

Clang!

It was as if a sword broke in the middle, and finally a rope that bound a certain person that had been rooted there since ancient times finally slipped.

The bracelet on Gu Jiu's hand, which had not been moved for a long time, appeared a little bit of faint light, as if the battery was about to run out.
