Chapter 3 Love Feelings

? 3.

When Bailong went to the basement to find Grandpa Boiler, Xiaoling was still standing in the room.She was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, as if she was talking to Grandpa Boiler.

Seeing Bailong push the door in, Xiaoling lowered her head, "Mr. Bai." Her tone was cold.

Bailong intuited that Xiaoling's indifference had something to do with himself and Qianxun, and felt a little embarrassed.Grandpa Boiler looked at them calmly.

"Grandpa, here is the charcoal you asked for." Bailong handed the package to Grandpa Boiler, with the light of the fire reflected in his dark eyes, he said casually, "You have seen Qianxun."

"I was taken aback. She's grown into a big girl."

Thousands of words, nothing to say.Bailong quietly knelt and sat opposite Grandpa Boiler.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and ice crystals fell to the ground with a bang from time to time.Grandpa Boiler is boiling water, there is a gurgling sound, and the room is filled with white and thick steam.The conversation between the two is like the dust rising in front of the boiler at this time, slowly sinking and floating in the warm and moist white steam——

"Where is Chihiro now?"

"Assigned to the bathroom to wipe the floor."

"It's hard for this child... Can she still do it?"

"She said that living alone for many years is more than enough to handle these things."

"live alone?"

"The parents seem to be temporarily separated, and she went to the east alone to study at a university... By the way, a university."

Grandpa Boiler looked up at the boy. "She has only been back in the oil house for a day, and you understand it so clearly."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Bai Long.Bai Long took it and took a sip.The hot water was steaming white, curling past his eyes, and his vision became blurred.

Just like your own heart, sometimes you can't see too clearly, can you?

At this moment, Xiaoling let out a short laugh: "Mr. Bai, you love Xiaoqian—it's the 'love' of 'love affection', right?"

"Xiaoling!" Grandpa Boiler let out a low voice, and then looked at Bailong carefully.The boy's face was engulfed in white steam, and his expression could not be seen clearly.Small black coal balls ran back and forth on the ground, making rustling noises.After the white smoke dissipated slowly, that handsome face was calm, just like before.

As if worrying about Bailong's silence, Xiaoling suddenly couldn't hold back: "Mr. Bai, I saw it! You kissed Xiaoqian this morning!"

"I said why do you have to—"

"Xiaoqian knows it! She blushed when she got up, and fiddled with her hair in the mirror...Grandpa Boiler, let you say 'love' to them ten years ago—"

Grandpa Boiler's words silenced Xiao Ling:

"Do you really think ten years ago was the end of them?"

"Whether it's really over, I think, I can decide all of this." Bai Long finally spoke, his tone was cold, like the wind blowing ice floe, "Besides, Chihiro and I never 'started'."

"No, it has already started. Even, it started earlier than ten years ago." Grandpa Boiler patted the boy on the shoulder, "Bailong, you don't have to lie to yourself."

Bai Long's face turned pale.

Xiaoling said coldly: "Mr. Bai, you know you can't be with Xiaoqian, but you lose your composure. When she was sleeping soundly——"

"She was crying." Bai Long said very lightly.

Xiao Ling was stunned.

Bailong lowered his head. "I can't see her tears."

Both Xiaoling and Grandpa Boiler couldn't speak, they just looked at each other, filled with sadness for a while.

After a while, Xiaoling said in a low voice: "Bailong, have you forgotten about the baby?"

Bai Long shook the water cup in his hand, and a few drops of hot water splashed onto his skin.Grandpa Boiler's heart skipped a beat, he was quite upset with Bailong, and he was about to quarrel with Xiaoling again, only to hear Bailong say softly: "Of course I haven't forgotten - such a tragedy, can you just forget it as soon as you say it?"

Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and finally relaxed her arms. "Mr. Bai, I don't want you to die in the human world, and I don't want Xiaoqian to suffer this kind of torture in the future." She said truthfully.

"I understand." Bailong's fingers clasped the rim of the cup unconsciously, his dark eyes were quiet and gentle, and at the same time, there was a trace of confusion, "Going to the human world rashly, my fate may be the same."

——disappeared due to loss of strength.

But Grandpa Boiler couldn't help comforting him: "Bailong, you are different. You are a god, and you have found your name again. After all, you are different from that low-level fox demon who raised babies..."

Before finishing speaking, Xiaoling stopped her loudly: "Grandpa Boiler, what are you talking about?! Human beings no longer fear gods and monsters, and drove us here. Are we going to run back and wait for death?!"

Xiaoling got angry when she mentioned this matter, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

"In my opinion, the fox demon picked up a baby girl and couldn't bear to eat her. He just wanted to take care of her to grow up, but he wanted to send her back to the world, saying that he wanted her to live a normal life——

"The result? Didn't they disappear as soon as they stepped out of the tunnel! If Mr. Bai hadn't carried the baby girl back to the restaurant, the baby would have froze to death long ago!"

"It's the path they chose." Bai Long said calmly.

Xiaoling shook her head straight: "Mr. Bai, that's not what you said when you watched the fox disappear and were powerless to stop it. You also felt sorry for the disappearance of the fox, saying that human beings despise gods and monsters, and that the hidden world is the baby girl." s home……"

"Not all humans are like that."

"Of course, Xiaoqian is an exception—"

"There is no result if we continue talking." Grandpa Boiler interrupted them.

He looked at Bailong with piercing eyes, "Son, I have known you for many years, and you have never been able to control your emotions and do inappropriate things... In the end, you still want to go home. I think it's not just because you want to be with me." Chihiro together."

Bailong looked down at the hot water in the cup with lowered eyebrows, there were tiny ripples in his hand, reflecting his swaying black eyes.The river that has disappeared once reflected his eyes and the white body of the dragon god in this way.

"I have guarded the Amber River for hundreds of years. I will see the Amber Lord in the morning - the river god who protects mankind."

The young man's tone was warm, as if he was describing the most common thing.Xiaoling said unceremoniously: "Human beings forget you. They wantonly fill up rivers with mud and deprive you of your power. They have long abandoned the gods of nature."

Bai Long actually asked back: "So what?"

Xiaoling still couldn't accept that Bailong wanted to go back.After a long silence, she asked slowly: "Mr. Bai... How did you watch that fox demon disappear that day?"

Bai Long drank the water in the cup slowly.

He said, "...it's like melting snow."?
