Not too many out of four

The curly and slightly messy ocher hair protruded from the cat ears through which the capillaries could be faintly seen. The tail flexibly circled in front of the body, and the collar under the Adam's apple was a positioning device worn by herself.

The pupils of "Mr. Zhongye" are dotted with large patches of cobalt sapphire color, making it hard for her to tell whether his sanity has returned or not.

The young man looked flamboyant and rebellious, but when he asked her aloud, he seemed very calm and patiently waited for her answer.

A special and wonderful feeling faintly rose in Li Jia's heart.

"Mr. Zhongye" is like "Brother Zhongye" and "Mr. Zhongye".

The similarity here does not refer to the similarity in their appearance and ability, but the calm and patient demeanor between their eyebrows and eyes.

It is true that the four of them are actually Nakahara Chuya, and their personalities have gradually grown from impulsive and youthful teenagers to calm and calm adults. It is normal for them to have similar facial expressions.

But Li Jia has never missed them in the past, not only because of the differences and discrepancies in appearance and dress, but the way she recognizes Nakahara Chuya and the others is by their demeanor and movements.

People who learn painting want to carefully paint the portrait of the target person, the first step is to learn to observe.

Observing the characteristics and differences of their bodies, the growth of the face and body lines, the appearance of raising eyebrows and lips, Li Jia can remember it clearly in her heart.

She has never confused Nakahara Chuya and the others, and she has never missed their names.

Li Jia even vaguely felt that it was very miraculous that "Mr. Chuya" would grow up to look like "Mr. Chuya" in the future.

How many opportunities do people have to see their future appearance and know their future life trajectory.

Many people will never have such an opportunity in their lifetime, and Zhong Yuanzhong also happened to have the time of his body suspended due to some special reasons, forever maintaining the age before time travel.

If their time in this world is not blocked, but will grow little by little.

Will "Mr. Zhongye" become "Zhongye" sooner or later, and "Zhongye" will gradually grow into "Brother Zhongye" and "Mr. Zhongye".

Whether the Central Plains with the same time form will disappear in this world sooner or later, she never dared to think about this question.

Li Jia just called out their names one by one according to the way she identified them.

I never thought that "Mr. Zhongye" would grow into an adult like "Mr. Zhongye" one day.

Although their bodies have stopped growing, their thinking has not suspended time. They are still becoming mature day by day and starting to fade away their youthful impulses.

She had never been so deeply aware of this problem for a moment.

"Does Zhongye-jun want me to say that I like you the most?" She lowered her eyes quietly, avoiding those magnificent and deep eyes, and asked softly: "What Zhongye-jun wants to hear is that I like you the most..."

"Or maybe I like Zhongyuan Chuya the most?"

"Mr. Zhongye" frowned in confusion, he didn't understand the difference in meaning.

He lay on Li Jia's lap, straightened his upper body to see her expression: "What's the difference? I want to hear it, can't I?"

The cat's chaotic and pure thinking made him unable to understand Mingwu Lijia's hidden meaning, but raised his eyebrows as a matter of course.

He is not only Chuya of the Central Plains, but also the "you" in Lijia's story.

No matter what words are used, they are sweet words that he wants to hear. He likes the feeling of his name being called out by Li Jia.

No matter what way he calls it, he likes her feeling of focusing on Nakahara Chuya himself.

Li Jia frowned and said with a smile: "There is no difference now, but..."

When there are four Zhongye in the Central Plains in front of you, the "you" and "Zhongye in the Central Plains" here can refer to any one of them, but not necessarily "Mr. Zhongye".

"What's the matter!" He hurriedly snatched the words away, and said loudly: "Isn't that all me?"

Regardless of "Mr. Zhongye", "Brother Zhongye" or "Zhongye", they are all Zhongye from the Central Plains.

Naturally, "Mr. Zhongye" is also Zhongye in the Central Plains.

Li Jia blinked in a daze, her shoulders relaxed slowly, stretched out her hand to touch the curly ocher hair and the cat ears hidden in it, and smiled lightly: "If I can come back smoothly, I will answer your question again."

If Chuya Zhongyuan can come back smoothly, maybe that day she can say without hesitation that she likes Chuya Zhongyuan the most.

Whether it's his young and impulsive appearance, his persistent and firm appearance, or his free and easy, calm and calm appearance, they are all the appearances she likes in Zhongyuan Zhongye.

People are inherently multi-faceted existences that will continue to grow and change. To define their existence blindly with fixed impressions may be because she is too narrow.

"Come back smoothly?" The boy shook his tail behind him, hooked her wrist and wrapped it around twice: "Where are we going?"

In order to make Li Jia feel more comfortable, he leaned over her lap and looked sideways at her: "Just tell me the answer when you come back?"

Li Jia smiled softly and softly, and said, "As long as I can come back, I will tell Mr. Zhongye the answer."

Tell Nakahara Chuya, who is sometimes reckless, and sometimes calm and calm, that he is already an indispensable and important person in her life, if she must say who is her favorite person in the world...

Then there is only the Central Plains.

……

"Nakaya-kun" with his cat ears and tail dangling seems to have not fully recovered his original appearance, but he has learned to ignore "Brother Chuya" and "Mr. Chuya", endure his hostility and regard them as his family part of the same existence.

The tail sticks out from the hem of the clothes and lifts up a corner of the hem. When it flicks wildly, it will throw out a lot of floating hairs, revealing the skin of the lower back vaguely.

He wanted to follow Lijia into the kitchen to prepare dinner, but the uncontrollable big tail would make the cat's fur fly all over the sky. The cat's fur had been flying everywhere along the way, and Lijia really didn't dare to let him in to help.

"Can I really go in?" He flicked his tail from side to side irritably, and asked unwillingly, "It looks dangerous there, I just want to follow in to protect you."

Li Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry to comfort him: "There will be no danger at home, I will only stay for an hour at most, and it will appear soon."

I don't understand why he thinks the kitchen at home is dangerous. It may be that the places he can't go to are dangerous places for Li Jia in the view of "Mr. Zhongye", or it may be that there is some bloody smell left in the kitchen when the ingredients are processed. feel dangerous.

But for the sake of their dinner, I really can't let him follow in casually.

She didn't want to struggle with cat fur flying all over the sky while washing and cooking vegetables.

"Will it take an hour to come out?" "Mr. Zhongye" was a little restless, he hugged Li Jia and didn't want to let go: "One hour has been a long time, let me follow in together."

Although he doesn't know how he understands the meaning of one hour when the cat's thinking is confused with human thinking, but subconsciously he feels that one hour can do a lot of things.

An hour is not long or short, but it can make a child with little attack power die silently in a corner. He vaguely has such a picture in his memory, a little ghost who looks like a companion but not like a companion follows him. He has nothing to do with the appearance of the kid Impression, only vaguely remember the blue bracelet on his wrist.

The quiet and inconspicuous little ghost would appear from time to time among the three or five little ghosts in his memory. Suddenly, one day his figure was missing from the foggy memory, and when the picture turned and reappeared, he was already lying in a cold body The appearance on the ground.

"Mr. Zhongye" actually didn't remember the other person's appearance from the beginning to the end. He just recognized the blood-stained blue bracelet on the little ghost's wrist, and based on the missing number of people in his memory, he judged that the cold corpse in front of him was the one who disappeared. kid.

He died very peacefully, there were not even many traces of struggle on his body, a large amount of blood was sprayed out from the knife edge across his neck, "Mr. Zhongye" stood quietly on the spot, bent over and closed the opponent's eyes.

My heart seems to be filled with anger and sadness, but I also have the habit of being helpless and hating myself for not noticing the existence of the inconspicuous little devil. The energy hidden in my body urgently needs a vent to rush out.

"Mr. Zhongye" found the person who killed the little ghost to avenge him, and was so skilled that he couldn't make an expression to bury the little ghost's body, stood silently for a moment, turned and left.

The dead can no longer be resurrected, and he wants to focus all his attention on those who are still alive.

As far as the memory goes, he still can't see clearly the little ghosts who occasionally follow him or stand opposite him. He only remembers the blue bracelets on their hands.

In reality, he also has such a bracelet, a dark and faded blue gel bracelet with a sheep's head in the middle, solemn and solemn.

He pondered over the meaning of the bracelet, whether it was used to determine the object that needed his protection or it was simply a symbolic existence that became a past tense that he no longer needed to care about.

Li Jia didn't have such a bracelet, and neither did the other guys in the family.

He was sure that the strength of the other guys didn't need his protection, but why didn't Lijia have such a bracelet.

"Mr. Zhongye" can't figure it out, but he sincerely remembers that he needs to protect the person wearing the sheep bracelet.

He took off his bracelet and solemnly handed it to his partner: "This is for you."

Li Jia tilted her head in perplexity, and recognized that this was the bracelet that "Mr. Zhongye" had been wearing on his hand since he became a human.

Because "Zhongye" and "Brother Zhongye" didn't have such bracelets on their hands, she once thought it was the jewelry of 15-year-old Zhongya Zhongye. Did not wear.

Although it doesn't look like it on the surface, Zhongyuan actually cares about his own image.

Whether it is 16-year-old or 22-year-old Chuya Nakahara, they will pay attention to details to take care of themselves. Bow ties, cufflinks, collars and gloves are all obvious features.

Therefore, Li Jia never thought that the blue bracelet on "Mr. Zhongye" had any special meaning.

"Isn't this something Zhongye-jun likes?" Li Jia took it curiously, rubbing the grain of the sheep's head with her fingertips.

No matter how many sets of clothes "Mr. Zhongye" changed, he would never take off the blue bracelet. Even if it faded and looked very old, he never thought about taking it off.

He responded vaguely: "Well, are you willing to accept it?"

I couldn't help but stare at the girl curiously, and turned around a few times to study carefully, "Nakaya-kun" gradually became nervous.

He didn't know why the self in his memory wanted to protect the little ghosts wearing bracelets, but he vaguely realized that this was an important symbol.

It symbolizes that he will try his best to protect the little ghost with the bracelet. There is no restriction or special ability, but he urges himself to protect such a little ghost in his heart.

"Mr. Zhongye" thought that if he had to give the bracelet to others, he would use it as a guardian to prove the meaning and value of his existence.

Then why not give it to Li Jia?Give it to his partner.

He will protect her wholeheartedly, and will not let her disappear without a sound and then turn into a cold and unable to move or smile.

"Thank you," although I don't know why "Mr. Zhongye" suddenly wanted to give this to her, but it is very important to "Mr. Zhongye". Li Jia gritted her cute canine teeth and smiled at him: "I will Treasure it."

He was slightly relieved, and no longer stubbornly wanted to follow her into the kitchen.

Li Jia accepts his bracelet, will she obediently stay by his side and accept his protection?

"Mr. Zhongye" has an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He feels that the outside world is very dangerous, and Li Jia can only be safe and sound if he stays at home and by his side.

He sometimes wonders if this is an illusion, an illusion caused by his excessive fear of losing Li Jia.

In fact, the outside is not so dangerous. When he stays near the floor-to-ceiling windows, he can always see the little ghosts coming and going outside. He goes to and from school every day, and no one is hurt.

It was completely different from the dangerous environment in his memory where he would lose his life if he left the group.

It is quiet and peaceful here, and the neighbors in the neighborhood get along very well. Occasionally, when they go out, they will greet each other and pass around the notice boards.

Lie flat on the carpet at home every day to bask in the sun, rub the scent of Lijia mark, and the day will pass naturally soon.

"Mr. Zhongye" wants to immerse himself in this kind of life, but his heart is always faintly warning him that the danger hidden in the dark is not dealt with as soon as possible, and Li Jia may be in danger.

At least before leaving, he had to clean up all the dangers that threatened Li Jia.

This wild premonition made him even want to be wary of the new tenant who moved in next door, the guy who claimed to be a graduate student but made no secret of his flaws.

The storm will come at any time, whether he chooses to run away or meet him head-on, he hasn't figured this out yet.

"Mr. Zhongye?" Li Jia's voice came from the kitchen, she poked her head out with a tray, cute and clear, and said briskly: "Can you help me get my dinner out?"

He recovered and nodded, took the tray: "OK."

After the tray was handed over to him, Li Jia didn't go back to the kitchen immediately, but looked at him suspiciously: "What were you thinking just now?"

Her hands were still stained with oil, and it was inconvenient to touch the boy's face or clothes, so she could only tilt her head and call him to stop.

"Mr. Zhongye" turned his gaze away slightly, and his eyes fell on the blue bracelet on her wrist that was in the way, and followed her sleeves all the way up, and she was inexplicably relieved.

It seems that as long as you see this bracelet, you can guarantee Lijia's safety.

"It's just that I'm hungry," he said insincerely, "If it gets in the way, you can temporarily take it off while cooking."

After all, the bracelet that fits on his wrist is too loose for Li Jia, and it will slide back and forth with the movement of raising his hand and lowering it.

Li Jia shook her head and said honestly: "I'm afraid I'll lose it when I take it off, and I don't want to lose the gift that Mr. Zhongye gave me."

She just saw the boy's upturned tail drooping down, thinking that he still minded her not letting him follow up in the kitchen, but she didn't expect that it was just because he was hungry.

"Hard work, Zhongye-kun, be patient for a while longer." She stretched out her hand to touch "Chuye-kun"'s hair, and then remembered that there might be oil stains on her hands, and when she was about to shrink back, the boy took the initiative to come over and rub her palm .

"I'll be patient." Enduring the anxiety that left Li Jia alone in a dangerous place, "You have to pay attention to safety."

Blue eyes blinked in confusion, and she responded, "Okay, okay?"

This seems to be the first time she has been told to be careful. Usually, this sentence is her pre-departure advice to Zhong Yuan who is going out.

Li Jia turned her head to look at the knives and gas stove in the kitchen, and suddenly realized that "Mr. Zhongye" is still thinking like a cat. In his opinion, knives and fire are dangerous things and should not be approached at will.

He should be telling her to be careful because of this, right?

"I will pay attention to safety," Li Jia thought she understood what "Mr. Zhongye" was thinking, and patted her chest in response: "Mr. Zhongye should also be careful and learn to control his tail."

Even though she is used to living in the same space with cat fur, she hopes to eat less cat fur when eating.

"Mr. Zhongye" glanced at the blue bracelet again, and nodded obediently.
