"Gaba".

Bei Qiao chewed beef jerky, propped his chin with one hand, and picked up the watering can to water the potted plants with the other.

The sunlight slanted into the room from the window, just shining on the small potted plant.The green succulent leaves are delicate and plump, and the red tip is playful and lovely.

There was the sound of lightly treading leather shoes, and someone stood beside Bei Qiao.The slender fingers wearing white gloves stretched out to the succulent potted plant in front of Bei Qiao, but Bei Qiao slapped it away with his hand.

Bei Qiao swallowed the beef jerky in a few mouthfuls, turned her head to look at the visitor: "Don't touch it, Chief Xiyou. I protect Little Red Clothes, just like you protect your roses."

"It's one thing to protect it, but it's another thing to be able to protect it." Xiyou folded his arms around his chest and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s not even one-fiftieth of the population, but it gathers about one-fifth of the population in the Southern District. Once these people collapse, I’m afraid the entire Southern District will be affected.”

"I'm worried about backlash." Bei Qiao wiped his hands with a piece of paper, fastened the lid of Little Red Clothes, and put it back into the backpack, "But if you don't take action, this place will still collapse when you are eroded to death by the blue ocean." , and the situation is even more serious.”

After waiting for about 2 minutes, Bei Qiao finally heard Xi You speak.

"Listen to you, my honored guest." Xiyou showed a suitable smile, "As a commission reward, I will give you the maps of East District [-] and East District [-], as long as you can help overcome the difficulties in Huayu .”

Bei Qiao stood up from the chair, reached out to Xiyou, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you minimize the loss."

Afterwards, Bei Qiao stayed in the room on the second floor without leaving home. Even the meals were brought to the room by Xi You for him to eat. Bei Qiao didn't communicate with Xi You very much. "It's a greeting."

On the evening of the third day, Bei Qiao finally walked out of the room. There were drops of water on his face, obviously he had just washed his face.

He leaned against the railing on the second floor and looked down, only to see Xiyou standing in front of the mirror in the living room and tying a scarf on himself—the erosion of his skin by the blue sea had spread to his neck, and he wanted to cover the black-gray epidermis.

Bei Qiao turned over while supporting the railing with one hand, and jumped directly from the second floor, landing lightly and securely.

Xi You was not surprised by Bei Qiao's sudden appearance, he glanced at Bei Qiao from the mirror, stepped backwards, and turned around.

"It's almost done. There is one last thing to do. After finishing this, I can restart the program and run the patch." Bei Qiao clapped his hands and walked towards Xiyou.

As always, he was wearing a white T-shirt with a protective suit on the outside. Looking at his bulging pockets, one could guess that there must be a protective mask inside.

"The leader of Xiyou has lived in Huayu for a long time, so he must not have prepared protective clothing. At this time, the spare suit I brought in advance will come in handy." Bei Qiao took out a set of protective clothing from behind and gave it to Xiyou, "here, Put it on."

Xi You took the protective clothing and glanced at his suit.He carefully removed the black rose pin from his chest, took off his suit jacket and put on his hazmat suit.

"Well, without further ado, let's start now." Bei Qiao said.

Xiyou couldn't help but glanced at Bei Qiao - he thought that Bei Qiao was going to start the program to reintegrate the entire Huayu environment with other areas in the southern district before he was asked to put on protective clothing to prepare.But now, listening to the meaning of Bei Qiao's words, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Bei Qiao and Xi You left the apartment and walked along the streets in the center of the city towards the gate.

As the sun was setting, passers-by on the road saluted and greeted Xiyou one after another. Xiyou responded one by one, and at the same time did not forget to ask Bei Qiao where he was going to take him.

"Anyway, you are much more familiar with this place than I am, are you still afraid that I will abduct you?" Bei Qiao said jokingly.

Halfway through the walk, a little boy holding a flower pot suddenly rushed out of a shop by the street.The boy is wearing a red cloak with a covered hood.

He was running so fast that when he saw Xi You, he was so surprised that he didn't stop, and he fell to the ground with the flower pot.The pottery pots were broken all over the ground, and the delicate roses in the pots were scattered together.

The little boy stared blankly at the roses with crooked branches and leaves. Suddenly, another person rushed out of the shop. He looked like the shop owner, waving a stick in his hand, and shouted very angrily: "Stop you brat! Put me down!" Put down the flowers! Those are very few champagne roses!"

The boy pursed his lips, picked up the broken champagne rose, and wanted to run away, not caring that his fingers were pricked by rose thorns.

His red hood was pinched by someone behind him, the boy turned his head, only to see that the person pulling him was Xiyou.

The boy lost his temper immediately, and stood aside dejectedly.

The store manager ran to the nearby side, said hello to Xiyou, and angrily accused the boy who stole the flowers.The boy was silent, but the hand holding the champagne rose gradually tightened, dripping blood.

Xiyou stood silently for a moment, then suddenly smiled and spoke. "I will pick a few pots of champagne roses and send them to you someday."

The store manager was taken aback for a moment, and then the expression on his face turned into incredulity, and he said flattered, "Oh...it's so embarrassing, it's not the leader's fault."

"It's okay." Xiyou's tone was polite and distant, "It's my honor that roses are liked by you."

The store manager was very happy, and at the same time, he did not pursue the matter of the little boy with a wink. After thanking him, he turned and went back to the store.

Xi You squatted down, pulled the little boy's shoulders, opened his hand stabbed by roses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and bandaged his wound.

"Don't steal anything from now on. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." Xiyou said seriously, "If you want champagne roses, I have a lot of them at home. You and I will go back and pick them."

The little boy's eyes were suddenly covered with mist, and tears fell from the sockets one by one.

He shook his head, "Mom, she... likes champagne roses. Dad used this kind of roses when he proposed to her. She has raised them for a long time. But she is seriously ill, and I want to cheer her up... ...This is, this is the time to steal flowers. I'm sorry, sir, I will never do this again, never again!"

Xi You stroked the little boy's head, patiently re-tied the collar of the red cloak for the little boy, and even tied a bow.

The little boy bowed to Xi You who stood up, then turned and ran away.Xiyou has been watching him go away.

Bei Qiao, who was standing on the sidelines, finally opened his mouth. He said thoughtfully: "Chief Xiyou, you really have feelings for 'Little Red Riding Hood'. If I can, I will wear a red cape in front of you every day. For a day How about another clue?"

"Did you stay with Boss Luo for too long, and you have learned how to bargain well." Xiyou changed the subject, "How far are you going to take me?"

Bei Qiao pointed to the gate not far away.The thick copper-steel door showed a little rose color under the orange-red light.

They walked all the way to the gate, and Bei Qiao swiped the pass of the Jinmai Merchant Group to open the gate.Amid the roar of the door opening, Bei Qiao walked out first. He stood firm and turned around, and saw Xi You standing motionless behind the boundary line inside the door.

——According to the restrictions, Xiyou will never be able to leave Huayu.

This is the chain imposed on Xiyou by "Little Red Riding Hood", and it is his inescapable fate.

He is a black rose imprisoned in a cage, rooted here, and will wither here.

……

"Poor leader Xiyou, you told me a long time ago that you wanted to escape from this prison, hoping that someone could save you."

"I want to entrust you to erase me from this world."

……

Bei Qiao put the earphones on with one hand, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, Bei Qiao stretched out his hand to grab Xi You's arm, and with Xi You's astonishment on his face, he pulled him out of the boundary of the gate.

The sound of the wind, the grinding of wheels.

The scent of flowers, the pungent smell of sulfur.

All of these, Qiqi rushed to Xiyou.

"Boom—"

Xiyou heard his heart beating suddenly.

He looked at Bei Qiao, saw the huge sunset shining behind Bei Qiao, saw Bei Qiao's body contour plated with a layer of gold, and that extremely happy smiling face.

He heard North Joe say—

"Xiyou, from today onwards, you are free."
