you turned on the love game

It seemed to be extraordinarily quiet tonight, even the chirping of insects in the forest had quietly disappeared, and the gentle breeze would disappear at some point, time seemed to have reached a brief standstill at this moment.

You were taken aback by the question, and subconsciously wanted to cast your gaze on Hisoka's face, but he buried his head, and you could only see that beautiful red hair.

Rich, the color of flames hunting and burning.

It was softly attached to his skull, and the tail of the hair was slightly curled, and when fingers were placed inside, it would feel soft and furry.

like your little wolf...

As if bewitched, you reached out your other hand and lightly touched the soft hair on the back of his head.The five fingers sank into the dense fiery red seaweed, and there was an illusion of being surrounded by tenderness in an instant.

your... little wolf...

Suffocated slightly, you suddenly pulled him into your arms, and then buried your face in this young shoulder.

At this moment, you smell the familiar scent of Ziying Pandan, and an indescribable sadness wells up in your heart.

Margot always had this floral scent on her, too.

"Sorry……"

Why didn't you protect it?

It trusts you so much—

Will let go of all defenses in front of you, revealing the softest vitals to you;

It will also bite your favorite toy and gallop towards you, wagging its insensitive tail awkwardly.

In the end, he even gave his life for you.

"Sorry……"

It is only six years old, and it is still just a young wolf in the group of monsters with a lifespan of a hundred years, the red wolf.

But at that time, it was like a hill standing outside your door, and when it died, the blood was almost drained from its body.

You can't smell the flowers on it anymore.

The deep ailment buried deep in your heart was revealed unexpectedly, and your usual nonchalant appearance suddenly collapsed when you mentioned Margot in front of others.

You hugged this little wolf-like boy and apologized over and over again, just like hugging him from the distance between life and death.The arms are also getting stronger and stronger, as if they want to press him into the body.

However, the boy pulled out the arm that was held by you, and then pressed his fingertips on the wet corners of your eyes, twisted hard, and his smile became colder.

"Who are you apologizing to?"

The sweet tone is like a sharp knife, directly interrupting your sadness.

You loosen your hand in bewilderment.

The young boy with exquisite facial features is still smiling, but his golden eyes are covered with frost, and his body is also tense like when they first met.

It seems that as long as you give an inadvertent answer, or if it doesn't suit his wishes, he will pounce on you and tear off a piece of meat fiercely.

You stared at him blankly, hesitated for two seconds, and raised your hand to gently touch this immature face that you had pasted a prank sticker on with your own hands.

Soft and warm.

Your gaze moves upwards slowly until you meet his sharp wolf-like eyes, and you suddenly wake up.

wrong……

This is not your dead pup.

Margot would never look at you like that.

You opened your mouth, and the tears that piled up in the corners of your eyes fell down.He was obviously crying, but he smiled and said to him, "That kid named Hisoka."

Your voice was as soft as if you were afraid of disturbing something, "I'm sorry, I've been looking for Margot's shadow on him."

"..." There was a sneer on the corner of the boy's mouth.

He got the answer, but he didn't seem happy about it.The frost in the bright golden eyes quickly accumulated layer by layer, as if it would be completely erupted in the next second——

Suddenly, you hold his hand: "Hisso..."

The washed eyes stared at him, as if hiding countless emotions, "Come with me..."

There is a hidden button behind the bookshelf. When you press the button, the bookshelf will slowly open from the middle to both sides. After stopping, a deep corridor with a width of three people will appear in front of you.

You led him into this corridor, and heard the harsh creaking sound of playing cards scraping against the stone wall behind you, again and again, like an angry child venting his anger.

——but didn’t take away the hand that was held by you.

You laughed helplessly, wiped away the tears on your face with the other hand, turned around, bowed your waist slightly, and looked down at him.

Facing his alienated and indifferent eyes, you stretched out your hand to brush the broken hair on his forehead, and said it again seriously: "I'm sorry..."

The decals of stars and water droplets are still stuck on his face, and this expressionless little face has a different kind of cuteness.

You smiled very faintly, and touched the decal on his face again.He didn't move, just watched what you were going to do.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, you leaned closer to his profile.

As if you can't help but want to cuddle up after seeing something cute, you take a breath-taking breath away on the star stickers.

"...?!" The beautiful golden eyes widened suddenly, and the movements of his hands froze in mid-air, and the sound of cards scraping against the stone wall stopped abruptly.

It looked like his brain had suddenly shut down.

You were out of your mind for a while.

Unlike the time when he returned from the forest trial, Hisoka no longer had a cold aura mixed with the smell of blood this time.

In addition to the coldness of the sticker and the smell of purple pandan, you can also vaguely feel the temperature of the skin, and the familiar faint rose scent-this is your favorite body wash scent.

You slowly straightened up, and found that Hisoka's eyes flashed countless emotions, including "shock", "dazed" and a flash of "panic", and finally the settled "anger".

The flesh on both sides of the cheeks twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth and stared at you, his eyes looked like he wanted to wipe your neck with a playing card in the next second.

But you inexplicably saw a bit of bluff.

Although you think that even if you put your neck in front of him, he won't make a move.But he didn't intend to say anything like "cute" to stimulate him, just smiled and pulled him to move on.

"I'll show you something."

There is an iron door with a combination lock in front of you. You open the door and take Hisoka into this room.

"here……"

"It's the place I come to when I feel lonely."

This room is about half the size of your bedroom and is warmly and comfortably furnished.There is a sofa next to the wall in the room, and an oversized photo is hung on the wall opposite the sofa, almost covering the entire wall.

And the photo shows a majestic red wolf.

The sun was warm, and it was lying on its stomach in the courtyard of the manor, its limbs curled up neatly under its body, and at the same time, it carefully retracted its sharp claws, because a young girl was resting on its belly.

The fiery red wolf head rested on its front paws, tilting its head to stare at the sleeping girl leaning against it.There was no ferocity or impatience in the golden animal pupils, just looking at her very quietly.

The sleeping girl and the wolf watching her.

There is a strange sense of peace just looking at the photos.

Hisoka looked up at the photos on the wall, the smile on his face was slightly restrained, his eyes were dark, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"When I met Margot, she was very small, very vigilant, and wanted to bite me, but I avoided it."

Hisoka looked at you, and you bent your eyes and smiled at him, "It's fierce, right? Your eyes looked very similar to it at that time. But I didn't escape when you bit me, and I was bitten by you .”

You miss it too much.

It's not easy to see similar appearance and eyes, not to mention the same behavior, you are not willing to avoid it.

but……

You stared at Hisoka and said softly, "But it's still different."

Margot will be tamed by you, and will give up her freedom to stay by your side, while Hisoka will never stop for anything.

He will leave here one day.

"It's not the same." You repeated in a low voice.

Hisoka didn't speak, and returned to the mocking face with his lips curled up slightly before, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.

You put aside the subtle melancholy in your heart, casually fell on the sofa, and looked up at the red-haired boy standing in front of you.

"After you learn the ability to read, you can go to a place called "Sky Arena", where there are masters from all over the world, it is very suitable for you.By then we should never see each other again. "

Hisoka's smile remained unchanged: "Huh? Why..."

"Because there is nothing you are interested in here at that time, and you will definitely not come back."

You looked at him with your face in your hands, and said with a smile, "There is no need to ask why for such a simple matter."

The red-haired little wolf's eyes light up slightly, which is the micro-expression he would have when he was told what was on his mind, but he refused to admit it, and tried to confuse you by saying something: "That might be... ..."

You don't like him, and you deliberately say: "Really? That's great, if you want to leave at that time, I will lock you up."

Hisoka's expression froze.

You continued: "How about allowing you to choose the cage you like?"

"..." He snorted lightly, and turned his eyes away from you.

You were amused by his performance, and you threw your head back on the sofa cushion with a puff, only your laughter echoed in the quiet room.

Lying down for a while, the sadness surrounding your heart just now gradually dissipated, you suddenly thought of something, looked at Hisoka: "That's right..."

The voice suddenly disappeared in the throat.

He was originally sitting on the armrest of the sofa looking at the huge photo. After hearing your voice, he turned his head and looked at you quietly.

After realizing that you were staring at him in a daze, he raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth, signaling you to hurry up and talk about something.

But you opened your mouth and couldn't speak.

Your little wolf, who used to like lying on the lawn to bask in the sun, would tilt his head slightly and look lazily when he heard you call his name.

The moment Hisoka turned his head to look at you just now, the calmness and doubts in his eyes are exactly the same as his previous eyes.

Your eyes trembled slightly, and you said warmly: "Hisuo..."

Under the boy's puzzled eyes, your voice was light and ethereal, as if you were in the clouds, "Can you come here for a while?"

He jumps off the railing and walks towards you.

The light in this room is very bright, and you can see that there seem to be bright spots of light flickering in his golden pupils, making those eyes even more beautiful.

Hisoka stood in front of you, and you suddenly sat up and opened your arms, and said to him with a smile, "Hug me."

Before he could make a sound, you hugged him directly.

The body surrounded by you instantly stiffened, as hard as a rock.But unexpectedly, he soon relaxes again, giving you the illusion that he is compromising.

This is the first time.

He didn't freeze into a corpse when you hugged him.

You chuckled, then closed your eyes.

But where you couldn't see, Hisoka stared at somewhere on the back of your neck, pushed aside the obstructing hair, and found something that caught his attention.

It was a bright red mole.

It seemed to be made of coagulated blood, reflecting a shimmer under the light.

By accident, he touched the red mole and held it down.
