[Comprehensive] Did Zhixi watch pretty boys today?

A moment of freeze.

"sorry."

"...What?" He lost his voice.

"I said, I'm sorry, Madara, I misunderstood you..." Zhixi raised her head, her vision was so dark that she could barely make out the outline of the man's facial features, "I thought your feelings for me were just a projection of the past .”

At this moment, Zhi Xi had mixed feelings in her heart.

It doesn't matter whether it's shock or uneasiness... But what lingers in her heart now is an emotion closer to "guilt".

How much is she?Self-righteously labeling Madara's feelings for her, and then continue to live here with peace of mind, thinking that he just didn't think clearly for a while?

Uchiha Madara, he is no longer the stubborn and fierce little boy when we first met.

He is a man who has been bathed in bloody waves, has unfathomable strength, and has already taken the position of patriarch at a young age.

How could such a person not be able to distinguish his own feelings?

"...It turns out that you really, really liked me for so long."

She slowly stretched out her hand, and touched the man's jaw with her fingertips, her voice was very soft, like a sigh.

Madara pursed her lips, subconsciously trying to avoid that gaze, but stopped abruptly halfway through: "..."

What is he hiding from.

In the next second, Zhi Xi narrowed his eyes when he saw the man.

The color of the eyes is bottomless.

"how,"

He almost kissed her lips, and the deep and deadly voice mixed with the smell of wine came together, "What do you think?"

Zhi Xi laughed dumbfoundedly.

This aroused Madara's dissatisfaction, so he stretched his neck to break away from the hand she had placed near his chin, propped up his upper body a little, and looked down at her condescendingly, "What are you laughing at?"

Then he moved his fingers, and seeing the giggling girl resting on his palm swaying with his movements, he felt strangely better.

"It's nothing," Zhi Xi shook her head while laughing, "I just think that although you are already a man who can stand alone, you are still the same as before."

She nodded her ears, "Here, it's red."

Uchiha Madara: "..."

He really couldn't see through her brain circuit.

The originally tense atmosphere was made a lot easier by these few words, and Madara's drunkenness dissipated after such a disturbance, but he still maintained this posture, with his chin slightly inward Accepted some, said: "Don't interrupt, so your answer is?"

It has been almost a month since the last proposal, and such a long buffer period is enough.

They are all people who don't know what "reservation" is, so Uchiha Madara has no intention of continuing to pretend to be stupid with her.

Zhi Xi gradually suppressed her smile and turned serious.

Uchiha Madara's heart sank slightly.

"Madara, I have already expressed my meaning," she said, "I refuse your proposal."

Crisp and crisp, without sloppy.

This is the second time she has said "no" to him.

If it were Zhi Xi in the past, she might still hesitate and struggle, not knowing what to do and how to speak. At that time, she was always at a loss when facing these things, thinking about how to be tactful—just Like in the early morning in the past, she faced the confession of the cat-like boy.

But now she is so clear-headed and rational that even she is slightly taken aback.

A clear and complete line stretched straight in front of her eyes: If you agree, what will happen in the future, and what it means to him... Zhixi can see it clearly.

It's good to be vague, at least soft words won't hurt people like the categorical rejection at this moment-but the pain caused by a blunt knife grinding flesh is much more profound and lasting.

So, no.

"..."

The sound of cloth being rubbed, Madara stood up silently.

The next moment, a burst of pain swept out from a certain part of the brain, sweeping every corner of the girl's body with a devastating force——when the pain reached the extreme, people could not make any sound, and even thought could not be done. .

Therefore, Zhixi just maintained the movement of lying on the ground, and stared blankly at the figure of the man leaving.

A little depressed, he looks like this.

After enduring the short and severe pain, Zhi Xi thought in a daze.

And secretly rejoicing: Fortunately, she insisted on not agreeing - she was really afraid that something would happen, she guessed that something would happen.

On the night when the first snowflakes fell, Zhixi began to dream.

Dreaming in a dream, this kind of experience is wonderful, but it is hard for her: every time she wakes up, she can no longer recall the content of the dream, and the only thing she remembers is the pain.

Of course, in recent months, she has become accustomed to the feeling of "pain".From the moment when she couldn't help but shed tears to the moment when she was bombarded by the pain in her brain without changing her face, Zhi Xi thinks she has grown up.However, the pain in the dream is different: it is not pain from inside the body, but more like some kind of external trauma.

But Zhi Xi couldn't remember what happened to her before she came to this world.

She just keeps getting lethargic.

And, feel that your "body" is slowly weakening.

I realized this when I woke up on a certain winter day and saw the white snow outside the window - at that time, Zhixi turned over and sat up as usual, but felt a cold under his nose.

With a flick of the hand, the bright red stained the sleeves.

Zhi Xi was taken aback for a moment, then got up as if nothing had happened and changed into another piece of clothes, and then scrubbed off the blood stain on the sleeve while washing.

Although Uchiha Madara seemed to be busy with something in the past few days and didn't come back, there were a few pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark since the second day she came, and Zhixi knew it.

The winter here is very cold, the kind of solid and unadulterated cold, the cold air penetrates into the human bones without hesitation, the humidity near the woods is heavy, and the wind blows so that the bones of the human body are painful. meaning.People put on thick winter clothes, but inevitably, their bare hands got chilblains.

When the girl approached her, Uchiha Nadeko was rubbing her painful knuckles.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor."

The girl omitted all the formalities and greetings, and got straight to the point.

Nadeko was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly turned ugly: "Who do you think you are?"

"I want you to get me out of here—I mean, at least as far as he'll have a hard time catching up right away."

"Are you mocking me?" Nadeko couldn't believe it, "I don't care how many ways you have to seduce a man, let me just say it first, I don't have time to cooperate with you in playing hard to get."

"I'm serious." Zhi Xi looked at her quietly, "I don't think you would be unwilling, would you? For a person like me who is in the way, if you leave, you will be much smoother, right? It's not to frame you, You just need to tell me when he is away and when no one is watching me, and you don't need to intervene in the rest."

The light in the girl's eyes was too open, without any concealment, which actually made Uchiha Nadeko feel a drum in her heart: she was the first to point out her doubts, and then analyzed the situation around her so clearly—indeed, in Uchiha Madara's Under the instruction, there are several pairs of eyes staring at the girl's side all the time—but they are all in the dark.

If it wasn't for accident, and her own ninjutsu foundation is excellent, she wouldn't have noticed it.

But Zhixi doesn't have chakra, let alone ninjutsu, how does she know?

Nadeko's eyes narrowed slightly, she glanced around, then lowered her voice and said in a bad tone: "What do you want to do? Why should I help you?"

"It doesn't matter what I want to do, but I can swear that I definitely don't want to harm you—cough..." Zhi Xi suddenly coughed a few times, covering it with her hands, and moved away after her breathing calmed down, "...As for Why do you help me, just because you can sit in the position you want after I leave. "

Nadeko looked at her in surprise.

The corners of the girl's lips overflowed with a little bright red.

Noticing her gaze, Zhixi smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned her head to wipe it off, "I'm telling you a joke... But in this case, you should be relieved—I really didn't mean to harm Uchiha."

She just had no choice.

Like, past Madara.

……

Because of his wide network and high reputation in the clan, it is easy for Uchiha Nadeko to inquire about some things.After a few days, she came to the door of a young girl when there was no one around her, but when the paper door opened, even she couldn't help being startled: the person who looked good when we met a few days ago At this moment, she was wrapped in thick winter clothes, but her face was a little whiter than gold paper.

"you……"

The corners of Zhi Xi's mouth twitched, and she pulled out a perfunctory smile: "It's scary, isn't it? But the strange thing is, I didn't feel too uncomfortable."

In the last few nights, she can't even dream, she can fall asleep as long as she touches the pillow, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable when she wakes up: she seems to have lost her sense of pain, and her appetite has also disappeared— — She has been there for days, just eating to survive.

Uchiha Nadeko looked at her suspiciously, "Why don't I ask the clan doctor to take a look" - she almost said so, but fortunately she was more ruthless at the last moment.She turned her back and clenched her fists, "Do you know what I mean by coming today? ... If you want to leave, go quickly! I will lure the patrolling people away for you."

"What will you do if I go back on my word?"

"...What?" Nadeko swayed and turned her head away, her eyes froze when she touched the girl's lips with similar skin color.

half an hour.

"...I will act as if the previous and today's conversations never happened."

Zhi Xi smiled lightly, "Thank you, Nadeko, I mean it sincerely."

Although she knew that what the woman did was only for herself, she did take risks to help herself—even much more than Zhixi had expected at the beginning.

She is grateful.

The girl stepped forward, grabbed the woman's sleeve and shook it lightly, "Let's go, I will trouble you for a while."

run.

It's like running endlessly.

After entering the forest, Zhixi could clearly and deeply feel that the organ called "heart" in her body seemed to wake up after a whole winter of dormancy, beating at a frequency that disturbed her.She took off her thick winter clothes, allowing herself to run faster and more lightly. The cold wind whizzed past both sides of her cheeks. The river passed through the woods on the other side.

Her body has not been this agile for a long time, and all the previous weakness is like a false and misty dream at this moment, and she wakes up from the dream, and she is still the one who can rank in the forefront of Xiongying High School in physical skills and can compete in Luoshan Academy. The person who won No.1 in the festival.

Then Zhi Xi heard the sound of rushing water.

A light came from ahead, shining into the woods, like a guide.She didn't hesitate anymore, and ran out in one go——

When his left foot was about to step out of the woods, Zhixi saw endless mountains, lush dense forests, and a vast smoky blue sky...

And, the dense branches and the gray leaves on them.

She collapsed near the exit.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

[I'm so unwilling...]

The memory gradually wakes up.

There was the sharp rubbing of wheels, the sound of bones breaking into flesh, and the screams of passers-by.

She remembered it all.

Finally, the whole body gradually became transparent, but this time, the girl showed a sad look.She looked at her palm, which was white and small, with messy palm lines. Through the palm, she could see the piece of land near the exit.

There, there is a touch of inconspicuous green.

It's a sprout.

She turned over and touched the little green with her fingertips.

And went through it.
