Beat up an underground prison in the enemy's Hakka.

The faint light intertwined with each other, and the faint yellow candles flickered among them, but the orange tone did not bring warmth, and the coldness spread along the blue-black stone steps from the upper wall to the bottom.

Finette, who was in the dark, groped down the stone steps, her clear footsteps sounded a little hesitant in her ears, and her cautious and apprehensive mood seemed to leak out every time she took a small step.

The environment with poor eyesight actually increased the sensitivity of her ears, and she easily caught the creaking sound and the inaudible gasping sound when the current flowed through it.

Finette held a washbasin full of clear water in both hands, and when she reached the last stone step, she took a deep breath.

After a long time, the rusty iron chains collided and rubbed against each other, making a few noises.

"It's you again."

Illumi half-opened her black eyes and spoke lazily.Since he was imprisoned, Finette would come to see him for two or three days in a row, delivering food and drinks, but it was annoying to chatter.

"Why, Illumi doesn't want to see me?"

Finette stepped forward and put the washbasin on the cold and colorless ground.

"I do not mind."

Illumifu closed his eyes again, and at this moment, he was hanging in mid-air with his bare upper body bound by an iron chain as thick as his thumb.

Finette looked around the cell for a week. There were mottled dirt on the stone walls, and it was hard to tell whether it was dried blood or dust and mold accumulated over the years.In the corner on the right is the "horror doll" that Illumi gave to Mi Chi with flowers and Buddhas. Its empty eyes were looking at this side. Finette trembled unconsciously, and Illumi must have I don't remember such a thing.

"that……"

Finette hesitated and didn't know how to speak to break the silence at the moment, her hands kept twisting together, and Illumi observed her from the corner of her eye.

"Sorry Illumi!"

After so many days, she finally said it out, and Finette breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, he didn't speak.At this time, the sluggish expression of the young Ilmin may make others think that he is just a well-crafted humanoid doll.

Silence spread slowly under the beating of the restless heart.

Finette looked at him nervously.

Her echo and the continuous creaking sound of the current flowing through the flesh and body echoed in the empty and large cell, and there was a faint smell of burning.

"It's all my fault! I didn't know that Mamio was such a dangerous and unreliable monster and insisted on taking it in, and it turned you into what you are now..."

if not taken

Effective measures, Illumi will keep shrinking until infancy, and then die.There is no record of the method of restoring the original state at all. After searching through all the literature, Mi Ji only found a method of using pain to stimulate the brain to delay the speed of cell mutation and shrinkage.

During this period of time, Yilumi has always encountered all kinds of terrible things one after another. Is there really a theory of feng shui?

"It's good that you know. Although I don't remember whether to take Mamio in or not, but thanks to you, it really hurts."

Illumi's face was a little baby fat. After he glanced at Finette with his black cat eyes politely, he moved his shoulders tightly wrapped around the iron chain. Suddenly, the iron chain rattled.

"sorry Sorry!"

Finette hurriedly put her hands together and bowed her head to apologize to him.

"I can do whatever you want! Really!"

Illumi turned her head to avoid the other party's eager gaze, but at this moment, a cunning flashed in the big cat's eyes.

"Then do you want to accompany me to taste what I am now?"

"it is good!"

Illumi got a positive answer from Finette without hesitation.

Ignoring Illumi's astonished expression, Finette immediately turned around and squatted down, soaked the white towel in a basin filled with clean water, scrubbed it, wringed it dry, and walked in front of him.

Illumi was suspended high in the air, but the height of the child made his line of sight just parallel to Finette's.

Finette gently pressed the towel against his somewhat thin chest.Just a ten-thousandth of a second of instant touch made her feel a strong electric current spread through her whole body through her fingertips, her slightly trembling hand, the wiping movement also became a little stiff, as painful as being crazily cut by a blender Grinds sensitive nerves.

Finette frowned, bit her red lips tightly to restrain herself from screaming.

Illumi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that she would really do this, he just casually said that it hurts to let her accompany him.

"Hey! You don't have to go to this point."

"It's okay, I'm not weak."

She forced a stiff smile.The intensity of the current flowing through Illumi's body at this moment is much higher than when she was training with her mother-in-law.Even though she was mentally prepared, Finette was shocked.

"It's useless for you to rely on this trick."

Illumi pursed his lips, and finally turned his head and said in a low voice, he didn't know what to do, and there were many mixed emotions in his heart for no reason and inexplicably.

He was wondering if all grown-up people would become so strange, if so, he would definitely despise the grown-up

himself, and then bit his tongue to commit suicide.

After getting used to the pain, Finette began to carefully wipe along the direction of Illumi's texture.He sweated a lot, and the sweat made his shoulder-length black hair stick together one by one, and the soft hairline was stuck to his smooth forehead.

"What are you thinking about?"

Finette raised her head but bumped into Ilumi's dazed expression. She suddenly felt that the childhood Ilumi and the grown-up Ilumi gave people a different feeling, and she always felt that he was more straightforward now. Some distances are also closer.

Yilumi came back to her senses and lowered her head slightly, her shadow was reflected in the black cat pupils, and the slightly warm breath swept across the tip of her nose as if nothing, but made her feel in a trance for a moment.

"Who allowed you to stare at me at an idiot woman!"

Illumi said solemnly, while Finette smiled awkwardly.

It is said that the Dadi Hakka family is notorious for protecting their shortcomings. Now that it is like this, not only Jiqiu’s mother, it feels that the entire Dadi Hakka family is invisible. Although she is probably half of the family, but still All of a sudden, the dichotomy became clear, and the fissures that were originally hidden under the amiable green moss were finally exposed by surprise.

It's just that she couldn't say these words to him.

"Hey, change back quickly, Illumi."

Finette murmured, pleading with sincerity and humility, she endured it very hard, and only now did she realize that she had no choice but to rely on Illumi, because, no matter how much she liked him, She has always been an outsider.

She is struggling with a sense of belonging, but for someone from Meteor Street, this is too ridiculous.

"Even if you say that, I can't help it."

Illumi couldn't understand her mood, but his tone was relaxed as if it had nothing to do with it.

"what!"

"What are you doing! You are an adult and you are still surprised!"

Finette's eyes lit up, and she made a small gesture that Illumi used to do. (Author's words: It's right hand clenched fist and knocking into left palm) Ilumi looked at her suspiciously, expressing his puzzlement.

"Quick! Illumi, close your eyes! Quick!"

"Eh!? Why do you close your eyes?"

Illumi immediately retorted dissatisfied.

"Oh!" Finette stomped her feet, "Sister told you to close your eyes, so close your eyes!" She couldn't help but put her open palms on his eyes and leaned forward.

Illumi was about to struggle to dodge, but felt a strange soft touch from her lips, and the faint blue light of the electric current swirled back and forth in front of the pitch-black eyes, jumping and dancing like a ballet.A strange taboo that has never been experienced before.

The red lips are slightly away.

br> "Huh? No change!"

Finette nodded her chin with her fingertips and tilted her head in disappointment. She had hoped that the beloved girl's kiss might bring Illumi back. (Author's note: Have you just watched Sleeping Beauty?)

"You...what are you doing! No... rude!"

Only after recovering from his senses, Illumi raised the back of his right hand and covered his mouth with a look of astonishment. He widened his eyes to be wary of the man who made a fuss, and roared like a madman. The iron chain broke free with a jingle.

It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such an unexpected situation, and he had never practiced before. Suspicious blush appeared on the cheeks of Illumi, who was panting heavily.

"Kiss you."

Finette shrugged nonchalantly.

"rogue!"

Illumi turned her head away in a hurry, her neck was red and she hummed softly.

"Although you forgot, this is what you gave me."

Finette pursed her lips, stretched out her left hand and waved it in front of Illumi's eyes, so there was no need to be shy at all, they had done even more exciting things together.

The diamond ring on the ring finger of the left hand reflects the faint light of the candle, but still shines like a shooting star gliding in the middle of the night.It was given to her by him as a token of engagement.

Illumi at this age doesn't understand style at all, ignoring the atmosphere in front of him, he simply closed his eyes and waved his unrestrained right hand, and with half of his body still hanging in the air, he gave the order to drive away.

"I'm tired. Also, next time you are not allowed to touch my idiot woman casually."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Finette smiled apologetically, picked up the washbasin and walked towards the steps.

The huge prison cell became quiet again, and the coldness gathered from the corners of the surrounding rooms to the center again, and the creaking sound of the uninterrupted electric current was caught by the ears again, Finette took one step to the stone steps, and the clear water in the basin Swinging around with a towel.

"Finette."

Illumi suddenly called out to her softly, the childish voice was soft but she could hear it clearly.It was the first time he called her by her name seriously.

"what's up?"

Finette stopped in her tracks and turned her head with a smile on her face. The more she had a bad premonition, the more she had to smile at each other.She found that his black eyes were looking straight at her.

Illumi didn't speak for a long time, and Finette just waited quietly and patiently.until--

"I don't know how I think about you when I grow up," Finette clenched her fists with sincerity in her eyes, "but at least now I don't think I will like you as much as you imagined."

"You don't remember how close we were."

Finette shook her head as a rebuttal.

"At least, that ring is definitely not a token I intend to give to the person I like."

Finette glanced down at the ring, then turned her back, her expressionless face was reflected in the clear water in the basin, and some things could be felt without saying anything.

"Why are you telling me this, Illumi."

Her voice sounded a little weak, the intimacy between adults does not touch the soul, the love that thinks it is love, she tried her best to maintain the balance of the scale, so complicated and careful, but at this moment, the child saw through it at a glance.

"Finette is neither a vicious and dark person, nor an absolutely pure and kind person. Even if you are mediocre, I don't think you are a bad person, so I don't want to deceive you."

Finette inexplicably felt her nasal cavity swell, and she raised her head to stare at the high, dark ceiling.He is such a shining existence to himself, but he is just "not a bad person" in his eyes, how can it be so unfair, those days of trying to make him like her are nothing, Finette is not Neither did Illumi.

"Shhh—I'll just let the grown-up Illumi worry about me."

In the end, Finette raised her smiling face and felt grateful when she stepped out of the cell door, thanking the ten-year-old Illumi for telling her the truth that she knew long ago but deliberately ignored so sincerely and undisguisedly.

The author has something to say: Finette is not smart, sometimes inferior and sometimes self-righteous, just like me.
