Not too many out of four

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned over the grilled chicken wings in his hand, looking at the other side one by one.

His expression is sometimes tangled and sometimes caring, the pupils in the cat-like cobalt blue eyes are round and grunting, almost covering most of the beautiful gemstone eyes, appearing harmless and a little concerned.

Considering that when they sleep at night, only Lijia needs a sleeping bag and can’t cover the sky and the ground. They can all turn into cats and can’t take up much space. Only one tent is set up, and the position is on the upper side of the river bank. No need to worry about getting over where the tent is.

The tent with excellent light-shielding and sound insulation makes it hard to see and hear what the people inside are saying and doing. All I know is that Li Jia slept in it and was obviously much better when she came out.

I was even in the mood to talk and laugh with "Mr. Nakaya" and prepare dishes and mushroom chicken soup together.

"Just by looking at it like this, she won't know that you are peeking." The young man next to him looked the same as him, except for a slight difference in his attire, and said in a cool tone, "Or are you afraid to go over?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also glared at him angrily, and said angrily, "I don't dare, it's just that my hands are busy with barbecue and I don't have time."

Obviously they are all "Nakahara Chuya", but the young "Chuya" knew what Kudo said and what "Mr. Chuya" said, so he didn't get angry, and even really bowed his head and began to think seriously.

Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't believe it, isn't this guy the one who cares about Lijia the most?

He remembered that "Zhong Ye" said that he was willing to stay in this world for Li Jia.

When he couldn't let go of his sheep companion, and when the other two adults "Chuya Zhongyuan" avoided the topic and didn't speak, "Zhongye" almost couldn't wait to answer.

It seems that he has nothing worthy of his attention and pursuit in another world, and it doesn't matter if he stays in this world with complete peace of mind.

He even wanted to secretly ask them the truth about Huang Ba's vomiting, whether they had already found out, that's why they were not in a hurry to go back, or whether they no longer cared about the huge evil beast sealed in their bodies.

But these hateful guys will only look at him with complicated eyes, telling him that sooner or later he will know the truth of this matter. If he is really 15-year-old Chuya Nakahara, maybe he will be able to return to the original world soon. Go through that.

What exactly was that matter, their mysterious silence made Chuya Nakahara look upset, and he could only guess that it was related to the reason why "Chuya Nakahara" would join the port mafia.

Once he associates joining the port mafia with Huangba Tu and Yang, it's hard for him not to think in a bad direction, and even faintly worried about his companions in the original world.

But it is impossible for him to let go of Lijia completely. After all, Yang took him in when he first remembered, and taught him a lot of knowledge about human beings. He stayed in the organization for eight years. The children came and went and grew up smoothly. Grown-ups may finally leave Leibo Street, and they may die silently in the corner without even having the chance to grow up.

He can't let go of his weak companions, but when Lijia is on the other side of the scale, it's hard for him to make a choice.

He can only wait passively to go back to the original world, counting the time to be with Li Jia every day is a day.

"Barbecue is just an excuse," "Chuya" had put down and continued to tinker with the potatoes in the fire, sat on the rock with a slight bow and looked down at the burning flames, and said coldly: "You just care about what that guy said, no Dare to spoil the atmosphere at this time."

He picked up a half-cold grilled fish and bit into it, pretending to be uneasy with indifference and calmness.

See how good the atmosphere they are getting along with now, talking and laughing and even making a five-year agreement, to help them delay the time to ensure that the girl who is obedient and keeps her promise will not fall in love with others casually during these five years.

Three years in high school plus two years in college, no, maybe it should be counted from the day they left, the five years in Elija's idea to find a way to break the barriers of the world.

But "Zhong Ye" was not happy at all.

It is ridiculous to be reduced to let others make an agreement and promise with Lijia to buy time for themselves, even if this other person is actually himself.

"He is grasping his own time and racing against time," he didn't even care whether they would go over to break the good atmosphere at this time, even if he was jealous, he waited patiently for Li Jia to come out by himself, and took the initiative to go over and choose him.

"You can do the same." In the time that belongs to Li Jia alone, find a way to make her heart move.

Once there is a third person in the mode of getting along between people, one person will definitely be excluded, and it will be difficult for the remaining two people to create any atmosphere and feeling of love and excitement.

This is determined by people's sense of shame, propriety, integrity, and morality, especially for a girl like Li Jia who is introverted and wraps her heart tightly in a shell to protect her. Their jealousy and vindictiveness on the surface will only make her embarrassed and overwhelmed.

The competition proposed by "Mr. Chuya" last time is a good proof of Lijia's reaction.

She did realize in the midst of the hormonal surge that they were not just family, but actual men.

But she would not have the feeling of heartbeat and first love for them at that time, because Li Jia's sense of shame is quite higher than ordinary people, and she can't blush for anyone on that occasion.

The only emotions that will arise are shyness and embarrassment, and the idea of ​​​​cannot wait to escape.

……

So the most suitable and appropriate way is to wait for the good atmosphere between them to come to an end, and then ask people out to be alone.

"Mr. Chuya asked me to come out. Did you want to take me somewhere?" Mushroom Chicken Soup was watched by "Mr. Chuya". She was not worried about anything, but she was a little curious why Zhongya Zhongya suddenly called her out.

Seeing that the young man was so nervous that his hands and feet were on the same level, his handsome facial features were tense, and he walked forward without saying a word.

Li Jia couldn't help but also raised her heart, remembering his confession last night with anxiety.

You don't want to ask her for an answer now, do you?But less than 24 hours have passed, and she has been troubled by the dream of last night all day today, and she doesn't even have time to think about the first confession in her life that she harvested yesterday.

She twisted and clutched the hem of her clothes, wondering how to respond to Nakahara Chuya's confession.

"...There is a place I want to take you to." Zhong Yuanzhong also froze for a moment, and soon recovered to normal and even walked faster and faster, he kept rehearsing deep breathing in his heart: "It is a place I accidentally found when I was walking around in the afternoon. , I think you should like it."

Every time he goes to a new place, he has to inspect the nearby terrain, looking for the fastest escape route and whether there is any dangerous situation nearby.

It was this habit that made him discover that place by accident.

Li Jia couldn't keep up with his pace. She had just been bitten by a snake with two holes. Although the scabs had scabbed and it didn't hurt too much, but walking at the speed of walking in the Central Plains on a road like a mountain forest, for her It is really difficult.

"Mr. Zhong, Zhongye, can you slow down a bit?" She was so tired that she ran all the way to keep herself from falling behind Zhongye.

Obviously the heights are almost the same, but Zhongyuan Zhongye's strides are very large. The height of 1.5 meters abruptly walks out of the momentum of 1.8 meters. In addition, the speed at which he walks faster and closer to the race walk is really unbearable.

Zhongyuan Zhong also stopped, and turned around to find that Li Jia was so tired that he supported his knees with his hands and couldn't breathe. The sweat flowed down the line of his cheeks and sank into the neckline, or dripped down and stained a few dark spots.

"Sorry, I'm a little anxious." Most of his mind fell on the spot he found during the day, thinking that Li Jia might be very happy, and for a moment he even forgot that he was walking so fast, and she might not be able to keep up.

The roads in the mountains are not as easy as the roads in the city. Besides, it has only rained in Qunma a few days ago, and a lot of things have come out here.

He didn't care that he could go straight forward, but it was hard for Li Jia not to care about the position of her feet. After all, she was bitten by a snake, and it's not surprising that she wanted to be cautious when she was afraid of places where she couldn't see the road clearly at night.

Li Jia waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care.

She is indeed not used to walking at night and does not have the night vision ability of cats, and she will feel a little uneasy following Zhongyuan Zhong, even if she knows that he will not let her have an accident.

"Come up!" Zhongyuan Zhong also turned and squatted down in front of Li Jia: "I will carry you on my back."

"Eh?!" Li Jia panted and calmed down, her eyes widened in surprise, "Where are we going?"

They have been gone for seven or eight minutes, right?

Is there such a far place that Chuya-kun wants to take her?It was so far away that he couldn't wait for her slow speed, and proposed to carry her on his back.

Zhong Yuanzhong also maintained the squatting movement, and said vaguely: "...It's not very far, but I think it will be faster."

With him walking with Li Jia on his back, there is no need to worry that she will not be able to keep up, or that he will disappear on the way when he is anxious and distracted.

With a puzzled look on her face, she slowly leaned towards the boy with her hands on his shoulders: "There are trees everywhere here, so the place Chuya-kun wants to take me to is not a bear's den, is it?"

Although he just walked out for seven or eight minutes, Li Jia couldn't figure out how to get back to the camp when he turned around. He felt that the nearby trees all looked very similar, and they all looked like ghosts.

Having an excellent image memory ability does not mean being able to distinguish directions in the dark woods at night and remember the way you came.

"Do you want to see the bear's lair?" Nakahara Chuya's tone was more puzzled than her. He clasped his hands firmly to support him, and followed her thinking: "If you want to find the bear's lair, you have to go to the deep mountain area. There are probably no bears around here." ?”

Animals such as hares, pheasants, deer, and foxes would be amazing, and bears would seem unlikely.

"No, no, I didn't look for the bear's den." Li Jia denied with a smile, she was just joking.

She didn't expect Zhong Yuanzhong to run so fast with her on her back at night in the unfamiliar mountains and forests. She reckoned that if she hadn't followed too slowly just now, they might have arrived at the destination earlier.

Fortunately, Zhongyuan Zhong didn't run forward in the way that he carried her several times in the past, but maintained a speed that would bring a little cool night wind and would not make people feel uncomfortable.

"I just think that I need the place where Mr. Zhongye ran with me on his back. Wouldn't it be to climb over this mountain to go to the other side far away?" And Zhongyuan Zhong didn't say that he only discovered it by walking around during the day place?

Why is it so far away, and how big is his wandering range?

If Zhongyuan Zhong could also hear the problems in Li Jia's heart, he would probably give a relatively accurate number with an innocent face, no more, no less, about one Leibo Street.

He was used to patrolling Saibo Street every day, moving around at high speed, so he didn't think it was strange at all.

Based on the location where the tents are stationed in the camp, he spread out to patrol the area the size of Leibo Street to ensure safety and no problems. He can return in time for any special situations and dangers within this area.

"Cross the mountain?" Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it carefully. Based on the distance of the altitude and terrain plane, his patrol range during the day might really cross the hill here: "Probably not necessary."

However, he was actually not sure how far that place was from the camp. After all, the feeling of looking down from above was completely different from what he would see when running in the mountains.

The purpose of his coming out was to detect nearby sources of danger. Naturally, he would not just casually turn around in the sky and go back. How would he know the majestic beauty and hidden dangers and murderous intent if he had not walked through the dense forests in person?

The hands holding his shoulders gradually turned into a relaxed state of encircling them. Li Jia turned her head left and right to look around, pressed her pointed chin against the top of the boy's hair and rubbed back and forth, wondering in a low voice, "I seem to hear the sound of water?"

The sound of flowing water impacting from top to bottom became more and more audible as Zhongya Zhongya approached.

"Is it really the sound of water?" She looked forward curiously, trying to reveal the secret in advance: "Are we coming to the source of the river?"

The girl's body was so thin that she didn't have much flesh on her body, but her arms were crossed in front of her neck, and her head was leaning against him like a small animal, and it was soft and light and tightly attached to his back...

Nakahara Nakaya's ears began to feel hot, and he felt that he could not maintain the movement of supporting his legs. Feeling the delicate and cool skin under his hands, he coughed a few times to interrupt his thoughts: "I'm not sure if this place is source."

Taking Li Jia through the bushes, he came to the place where he met during the day and wanted her to see it: "I just want you to come and see it."

The water source gurgles continuously from the crevices of the rocks, forming a clear and pure scene shining under the moonlight, so beautiful that people can't bear to miss it in the blink of an eye.

The lotus flowers floating on the water are white and small and fall between the lotus leaves. The petals are half-opened and half-closed, like a beauty sleeping in spring, half-awake. The clear spring flowing out of the gap into the lake splashes a little water and falls on the petals. Add some color to it.

"Is this the place Zhongye Jun discovered during the day?" Li Jia couldn't help but lower her voice, soft and soft with a hint of unbearable disturbance.

"That's right..." Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little surprised. When he came here during the day, the flowers didn't seem to have bloomed so much, only one or two flowers bloomed, and they were very small. He just thought that this place is very suitable for sketching, Li Jia probably like it.

"However, when I came here during the day, the flowers basically didn't bloom, and I don't know what it will be like at night." Koizumi is more beautiful than the quiet, tranquil and lively Koizumi during the day.

The moonlight falling down seemed to be covered with a layer of light veil, turning everything into a hazy dream-like beauty.

Zhongyuan Zhong also carefully put the person down, watched Li Jia approaching, and said worriedly: "Don't get too close, it's full of mud over there and it will be very slippery if you don't step on it."

Although it looks beautiful, the water here looks very deep, and it would be bad if your feet slipped accidentally.

Li Jia stood still and slowly squatted down with her knees hugged. She didn't want to cause Zhongyuan Zhongya any trouble.

If he was bitten by a snake during the day and fell into the water at night, it would be a very unlucky day.

She quietly watched the water splash and fall, and there seemed to be a flash of silver under the shadow of the lotus leaf. It seemed that there were live fish living under the water, and said softly, "Why did Mr. Zhongye only secretly bring me out?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also scratched his side face, turned his head away uncomfortably: "I just want to bring you here for the second time, can't I?"

His voice became lower and lower, and he didn't even dare to look directly at the girl squatting down in a small group. His eyes flew over to peek at her, but his current position was not so suitable, and he could only see her little side. Yan.

Eyebrows soft and graceful, the corners of her mouth curled up into a relaxed and lovely arc, the girl raised her hand to smooth the hair falling from her ears, and asked in a very low voice: "...Is it a date?"

Zhong Yuan's cheeks blushed suddenly, and he couldn't utter a word.
