overnight evolution

The wind passed overhead, blowing the leaves down one after another, and soon laid a thick layer on the steps.Two little sparrows landed on the ground, hopped happily forward twice with their straight paws, stopped and tilted their heads to look at us.

This is the first time I have come into contact with the world of Qi. He rarely mentions his past, and when asked occasionally, he always uses the sentence "There is nothing to say".It’s rare for him to take the initiative to talk about his family now. No matter how much I restrain myself, I still can’t stop asking out of curiosity: “What kind of person is your father?”

As soon as I finished asking, I felt a little stupid. How could I be so bad at giving birth to such a powerful son?

Referring to the overall strength of the young man in front of him, he came to a conclusion after a little brainstorming, and while removing his hands from his shoulders, he muttered, "In short, he must be a very remarkable man, right?"

He glanced at me with complicated eyes, then lowered his eyes, and said a little coldly: "Well, it is said to be so. But I don't know the specifics, because I have never seen him before."

... The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why should we have known each other before meeting each other!Well, is this why we hit it off?

I put back my right hand that I had just removed, patted his shoulder and looked forward: "It turns out that you, like me, grew up beside your mother."

This kind of thing makes me feel sad just thinking about it.

However, after the voice fell, there was a long silence before Xi took over the conversation.

The young man looked at me quietly with dark eyes, and said softly: "Actually, both my parents are male. So although I live with the mother, most of what I experience is father's love."

Reminiscent of my own situation, I subconsciously pressed my lower abdomen, my mind was a little confused.Xi's eyes fell on the back of my hand, and he moved his lips to say something, but he gave up before the words slipped from his lips.He turned his eyes away and continued to recall as if nothing had happened, "He has been reluctant to let me call his mother, and then he simply asked me to call him by his name."

Being re-attracted, hearing this, I silently sighed that this is really a willful parent.

Xi talked a lot, and when he talked about the days of living with his mother, there was a slight smile on his lips.I can imagine how happy they were then.Then when he mentioned his father, the light in Xi's eyes gradually faded.

"I have never met my father, and all my impressions of this man come from my mother's description. As long as I can remember, he has always been alone, and my father has never appeared. The cultivation in the mountains is very difficult and difficult. Dangerous, I have always wondered why he is willing to stay in this kind of place regardless of his power and status." He looked at me and whispered, "This man who gave birth to me is a very powerful and beautiful person You know, as long as he is willing, no matter how proud he is, he will bow his head. But he has been waiting and has not accepted anyone. "

I scratched my cheek and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen between them?"

"What happened——" Xi repeated my words, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Isn't it all the fault of that man, that man who is clearly a father but never visited his son once. Listen Said that even when I was born, my mother was the only one who suffered the pain—at that time, even he wanted his partner to be by his side, right? It’s just that that person abandoned us before I was born. "

Abandoned before birth?Pit father, I have lived with my Lao Tzu for a period of time anyway.

"What kind of father... is he thinking?" Because he couldn't imagine, he asked unconsciously.

"Who knows." The melancholy look appeared in the boy's eyes again, and his voice was too low to hear clearly, "Even you, Afeng, are the same. I don't know what you are insisting on, but you can start over..."

I couldn't hear what he said, but I could feel the sadness in it.

He lowered his head, and my eyes fell on the broad sword in his arms.The boy's fingers were white and slender, moving slowly on the sword, and his voice was soft and slow: "This is... my mother's sword. I have been wandering around with it all these years, and I didn't return until I met Ah Feng's grandfather. Here. Ah Feng, I am really surprised to meet you."

"What's so unexpected?"

I couldn't understand the joy in his voice, and patted him on the shoulder wonderingly, "It's normal to meet new friends, although it may be rare for us to hit it off like we did."

Looking up at the sky above which was cut into countless pieces by the leaves, he made me feel a little emotional, "To be honest, I want to sing when I see you, that's 'where, where did I see you' or something. Although I am sure that I have never had any interaction with you before, I still have a very cordial feeling—”

bang-

The sword in his arms fell to the ground, but he ignored it and stepped forward to hug me tightly.I was a little stunned, but the boy's arms were tightening hard, his forehead rested on my shoulder, and he didn't say anything.I came back to my senses and hugged him back, and patted his back with a smile: "Really, are you really so happy to meet me?"

"Yeah." The young man's voice came into his ears in a low voice, "I'm very glad that I can finally protect you this time..."

I was silent, and said without confidence: "Although I am only of the F race, I can still protect you."

Xi didn't refute, he let go of his arms and stepped back, softly said: "Ah Feng will definitely become very strong in the future, so give me this chance now. Before you reach the peak of this continent, let me It's good to protect you by the side."

While talking, he hesitated and stretched out his hand, stroking my hair, "I'll change it back later."

The feeling of being protected by a teenager who is younger than him is really tight in the chest.

"I like Ah Feng's smile, and I want it to stay on your face forever."

He lowered his arm, bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, and inserted it back into the sheath behind his back, "I want to obliterate all the sources of sorrow."

Xi's expression was very serious, and there was great determination hidden in the words he said.

I thought about it, and couldn't help complaining: "It sounds like my life will be unimaginably dark, and there are all kinds of sources of sadness."

Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant, it's just—"

"But...you are right." I interrupted him, and the hands in front of me grabbed the hem of my clothes tightly, "If Xiu can't wake up, my situation will not be much better. I was robbed because of my lack of strength. , and then switch between various species to become a reproductive tool or something, life is so sad that there is no lower limit."

After finishing speaking, the whole person fell into silence.

...It turned out that this is the case.

He said that he didn't want to rely on him, but his heart had already accepted that promise. Are you ready to hide behind him to welcome the storm?

Realizing this, he murmured softly, "No wonder."

No wonder I feel resentment against him, so it turns out that I have already identified this person in my heart?

Xi looked at me with concern: "Ah Feng, what's wrong with you?"

I shook my head, indicating that I was fine.Suddenly remembering his words, she let her eyes fall on the young man's face again, and said in a low voice, "Xi, I'm not your responsibility."

The light in his eyes dimmed, he moved his lips, but did not make a sound.

After realizing why he had resentment towards Xiu, he sank into depression, and turned his back to him in a dispirited manner, "I don't want to be anyone's responsibility, even if someone is responsible, it shouldn't be It's you."

Walking out step by step, the boy behind him never followed.

Walking to the steps covered with fallen leaves, he stopped and looked back at him. The boy stood there silently, motionless.The wind stirred the corners of his clothes and blew the fallen leaves around his feet. He stood upright under the tree, and the melancholy breath seeped out from him continuously, dyeing the surrounding air into silence. s color.

I only glanced at it, then withdrew my gaze, and continued to walk in the direction of the classroom.After the bell rang, the class ended, and the students filed out of the room, and the corridor quickly became full of people. The lively voices set off the desertedness outside the corridor, making the figure standing under the tree even more lonely.

But I didn't intend to look back, the past that this young man was carrying was a hundred times heavier than I imagined.Those hatreds and loves and hatreds are like the broad sword behind him, pressing heavily on his back, and will crush this young man one day.

I can only hope that one day he can see his father, and then, the weight off his body will be lifted.

At dinner time, Xi didn't show up.I am used to seeing five people at the table, but today a seat is suddenly vacant, and everyone feels very strange.Especially my old lady, who asked about Xi's whereabouts before the meal, and asked again after the meal, and showed a disappointed look when she couldn't get a definite answer.

"What's wrong with that child?" She sat at the dining table, took a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, and turned her eyes to me, "Is it because you feel unwell?"

I put down the knife and fork, and replied: "It should be because I'm not in a good mood. If I'm hungry at night, please make something for me and send it over."

The other two men at the dinner table were talking softly, not paying attention.But my old lady blinked at me, and burst out laughing: "Son, how do you know that child is in a bad mood? Could it be a good thing you did?" After speaking, she held her cheeks and sighed pretendingly, " What a good child, with good aptitude, if he grows up a bit, he might—"

I realized that the topic was slipping to a strange place, so I quickly got up from behind the dining table and cut off her words: "I'm going back to my room to read, you guys eat slowly." After that time, all the windows of the castle were repaired again, and I I finally got to go back to my room without being locked out in the middle of the night.

Around the afternoon, the elders group came again. Although my grandfather still had a smile on his face, his eyes were sharper than usual.My old man still had no expression on his face, looked at me for a while, showed a shallow smile, and said, "Go." However, such a smile still couldn't hide his worry.

I nodded silently, turned and left.

This is my family, who have been doing their best not to hurt me.

Those people didn't know how far they wanted to push me, and Xiu's deep sleep must have something to do with them.

Caressing the still invisible abdomen, he said to the quiet little life inside with a flat voice: "Not only do they not want to let your father go, but they also don't want to let you go. But don't worry, dad will keep it even if he tries his best. You will be fine."

He said this as if he was speaking to him, but also as if he was speaking to himself.

The future is dark, so I can only deceive myself like this, and ask for peace of mind.

Back in the room, laying on the bed and flipping through the notes Gu Xiaocheng made, the handsome boy Youyuan’s handwriting is as cute as his baby face, and when he scans to the end of each line, an emoji will pop up occasionally.Both hands can write so neatly when copying together, I didn't worry about it before.

After watching it for about ten minutes, I felt irritable, but after all, I didn't see much.So he got up from the bed and walked around the room twice, but his irritability didn't subside at all.Want to do something to improve this situation, don't want to sit still, want... want to see the sleeping man, want to see his face.

After thinking everything through clearly, this idea suddenly became stronger.

—I want to see him.

Push the door and go out, walk through the corridor decorated with oil paintings on both sides, and come to the familiar door.I have never been here during this time period, and stood by the door hesitating for a long time, and finally felt that my hesitation was a bit ridiculous.No matter when you come, aren't the people inside all the same sleeping?So what's the difference if I visit late at night or show up now?

Tearing the corner of his mouth in self-mocking, he stretched out his hand and twisted the doorknob, and the door inlaid with beautiful reliefs slowly opened.

The room was so quiet that there was no trace of life. The dark curtains that had been put down during the day were all rolled up at this time, revealing the starry night sky outside the window.The room is filled with soft lights, the person on the bed is still sleeping, but there is a handsome figure standing beside the bed.I closed the door and walked over. The man turned his head as if he was startled, and found that it was me who came in. With a shy smile on his face with his eyes closed, he called out, "Little master."

I stopped beside him, glanced at Xiu's quiet sleeping face, and asked, "Why is Mr. Ye here?"

The handsome man raised the gauze and medicine in his hand to signal to me, and said shyly: "Every day at this time, I will come to help the master change the medicine."

Dressing?This kind of vocabulary appears here, I just feel that the whole world is unreal.Once any individual has advanced to the extreme, he will have the ability to regenerate a broken arm and reconnect a broken limb. Even if he is injured, he can recover in an instant.I looked down at the exposed chest of the person on the bed, and there was a wound winding across it, as if being penetrated by some sharp weapon, slashing obliquely from right to left.The flesh around the wound is still turning outwards ferociously. People can't help but imagine how painful it would be if this kind of wound remained on their body.However, I have been here so many times, but I have never noticed any injuries on his body.

I clenched my fist behind me and let my nails sink deep into my palm. I tried to calm my voice: "How did you get this injury, does Mr. Ye know?"

Ye was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly nodded: "I know. At that time, the Zerg riots outside, the master went to deal with it, and then the elders sent instructions, saying that there were too many Zerg gathered outside, and the garrison personnel above B level They all passed by. I followed along—” At this point, his expression turned cold, “As a result, the bugs didn’t see it, but there were quite a few lackeys under the elders’ group. When I arrived, I happened to see the A man with a knife was torn to shreds."

"...Tear it into pieces?" I repeated in a low voice, subconsciously looking at the person on the bed, "My teacher did it?"

"The master was on the verge of losing control at that time, and those people even moved you out to force him to stop." Ye frowned as if unwilling to recall the scene at that time, and bent down to wash his palms in the basin, "Because I was stimulated, So I killed all the running dogs of the elders group present, and finally, in order to restrain the power of the rampage, the master fell into a deep sleep like this."

He straightened up and began to apply medicine to the sleeping person. Once the medicine touched the skin, it turned into a thin film, completely sealing the wound.However, the wound that hasn't healed all the time, the more you look at it, the more shocking it is, against Xiu's quiet face, it makes people more flustered - even if someone's chest is torn open, he can fall asleep unconsciously, is it unexpected that he might Never wake up again?

Ye treated the wound well, put on a new gauze for him, and said in a low voice: "Sleep without vitality is a deep sleep in the true sense. In order to avoid mutations, the activity of the cells in the whole body is minimized. In this way, the strength of the body will be reduced. It cannot be leaked out, and the peripheral power cannot invade, so the wound cannot heal automatically, and the power of the crystal is also rejected, so this method can only be used for treatment.” After finishing all this, he packed up his things and showed me some With a forced smile, "Then I'll go out first, the little master can talk to the master, maybe he will just wake up like this."

I nodded, intuitively thinking that he should have asked my grandfather, and got that chilling answer.

Ye stopped talking, arranged the clothes for the people on the bed, pulled the quilt back, turned and left the room.

I stood by the bed and fell into a more complete silence, and my heart was even more restless.

Zerg again, what are those things? Why did Xiu step into the trap so unsuspectingly?

Standing for a while, wanting to leave, but unable to move.His eyes fell on his tightly closed eyes, he hesitated for a long time before taking a step forward, and sat down on the side of the bed as quietly as possible, just looking at him quietly.With a lifeless face and bloodless lips, apart from his weak breathing, it can be judged that this person is still alive, and there is no sign of life.Before he realized what he had done, his hand had already reached the side of his neck as if to confirm something, pressing on the weakly pulsating aorta.

Before, I just stood by the bed and stared at him, but today I suddenly wanted to say something.Opening his mouth, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound several times.After taking a deep breath, I managed to open my mouth and said, "I have thought about the question you asked last time. What do I want and what do I want from you? I just figured it out today."

The room was quiet, only my voice was speaking, "I like you, I have never liked someone so much, this has nothing to do with instinct. The ghost knows why I fell in love with a man, I love a beautiful girl - so, Is it too late to find out about this kind of thing? When will you wake up? I'm so stupid to confess here by myself, bastard!"

Xiu didn't even frown, I withdrew my hand from the side of his neck, feeling that my actions were pathetic.

"Wake up, wake up, I beg you. I'm so scared, what should I do if this child can't be saved? If they do anything to my loved ones, I will definitely give in. I still can't control my strength , often burn things down, if you don’t have Habitat, your castle will be burned by me.”

My eyes were a little blurry, my nose was sore, and tears fell down without holding back.

"I want a lot of things, your promise, loyalty, reciprocal feelings, and others, I want them all! When are you willing to wake up?"

Just as I was feeling self-loathing for crying so badly, I heard a low and soft voice from beside me: "Sorry..."

I never thought that I would get a response so easily. I was still in shock, and I was hugged into a familiar embrace. I heard him softly whispering in my ear, "As soon as I wake up, I will I was surprised to hear such an astonishing confession."
