Xia Hua put down her hands and stared deeply into Zhou Ye's eyes.
A long stare.
Two pairs of eyes shining with colorful light.
Until a small cracking sound sounded in their ears.
Xia Hua could tell the source of the sound without raising her eyes.
Her snake slough began to break.
The strong smell of blood filled the nostrils of the two people along with the wandering air.
Click——click——
The sound of the snake's slough breaking came from all directions.
Zhou Ye's moist eyes covered with red bloodshot eyes trembled slightly. He didn't dare to look elsewhere and could only stare stubbornly at Xia Hua in front of him.
Xia Hua's face suddenly calmed down.
She lowered her head and looked down at Zhou Ye tenderly, just like Mother Earth looking down at her people.
"Zhou Ye, close your eyes."
Zhou Ye opened his mouth slightly, feeling the sourness rising deep in his throat. He choked and swallowed the fear in his heart. As Xia Hua said, he slowly closed his eyes.
Miraculously, after closing my eyes, everything seemed to calm down.
Zhou Ye smiled happily.
Is this what the book calls the peace before death?
After all, no matter how vigorous your life is, everything around you will be quiet when you die.
He smelled the approaching smell of blood and stench, which aroused the fear in his heart, but then he felt the temperature from Xia Hua's palm. The temperature was so beautiful that the fear was instantly dispelled. Got clean.
Dispelled fear.
brought light.
Zhou Ye only heard a few soft sounds before the surroundings suddenly glowed with light and warmth.
It's like a punctuation mark to end it all.
"Life bug, three calls."

"Hiss——"
Jasmine keenly heard the hissing sound from Xia Ni beside her. She turned her head and asked in the direction of Xia Ni, "Xia Ni, what's wrong?"
Xia Ni sat on the bench in front of the ward. He frowned and took out his right hand from his pocket.
Auntie Long sat on the other side of Xia Ni. She lowered her head and looked at Xia Ni's hand.
"What happened?" Auntie Long's tone was dissatisfied, as if she was complaining about an uneasy child.
"What's going on?" Jasmine blinked her big, blank eyes, "What happened?"
"His hand is bleeding," Auntie Long took out a band-aid and gauze from the backpack on the side and said helplessly, "It's just a little bit. Don't worry, Mr. Jasmine."
"Is it scratched?" Jasmine asked next.
"No...it's not..." Xia Ni's brows still didn't open. He grasped his right wrist with his left hand and said hesitantly, "I feel...it feels weird..."
Jasmine turned around seriously, sat up straight and asked, "What's this weird method?"
"This is not a scratch," Xia Ni looked at his wound and said, "It's... my insect suddenly bit me."
"What?!" Auntie Long's scream attracted the attention of the nurse at the guidance desk. She quickly lowered her voice and asked with wide eyes, "You actually brought that bug with you?!"
"Uh...well...I brought it..." Xia Ni's shoulders shrank and she said guiltily.
"you!……"
"Sister Long, let Xia Ni finish talking first," Jasmine said calmly, "Does your insect often bite you?"
"Of course not," Xia Ni sat upright and said, "So I think...did it feel something?"
"for example?"
"Actually, when the bug bit me, I felt like my chest was being pulled," Xia Ni rubbed the area on her chest and said hesitantly, "Sister Long, I... I'm a little worried about my sister..."
Auntie Lu's movements were sluggish for a moment, she looked away, and after half a second she turned her gaze back and said with a smile, "You should worry more about yourself. It's not like you don't know the master's strength. Why are you worried about the master? "
"You can't say that," Jasmine, who couldn't see Auntie Long's eyes, said truthfully, "After all... even Grandpa Qiao has been in a coma for so long. The strength of those people is unfathomable..."
Auntie Long cleared her throat quickly, interrupting Jasmine's words.
After this little Jasmine was out of sight, her temper became even more upright.
"No matter what, the head of the Xia Hua family still has life bugs around her. If she is really desperate and lets the life bugs cry, all of us in the Four Summers will feel it," Auntie Long comforted, "As long as she has not Reaching the point where the life-insect cries, it means that everything is still within the control of the owner."
"But now I don't know where my sister and the others have gone... What if... what if they really go to other dimensions and the sense of the life bug is blocked?"
Auntie Long's smile froze for a moment, and then she said, "If the induction is blocked, doesn't that mean that what you just felt was an illusion?"
"Maybe... my bug broke through the limit and received my sister's signal." Xia Ni touched his pocket. The gray-green fabric undulated. It seemed that the snake-shaped one with red hair was The bug is inside, "Maybe this is its ability."
"...Just give up your fantasies. You, an insect, don't have that kind of ability..."
"Why do you say that? Humph," Xia Ni turned away from her, "Are they okay? We've all been waiting for so long..."
"Little Ancestor, please be patient." Auntie Long bandaged Xia Ni's right hand, which was still in the rebellious stage, and shook it back. "Qiao Tianyuan is so old, so he shouldn't have it checked carefully."
Xia Ni pouted and huddled back in the chair. Jasmine bit her lower lip, tapped the chair surface with her fingertips a few times out of boredom, and said, "It's indeed a bit long... Otherwise, I'll go and ask."
After hearing this, Auntie Long immediately stood up and came to Jasmine's side, saying, "No, it's inconvenient for you, I'd better go."
Jasmine grabbed Auntie Long's hand and smiled gratefully.
"You ignore what I say and just listen to Jasmine," Xia Ni hugged her knees and rolled her eyes, "When my sister comes back, I will definitely file a complaint with her, hum..."
"Please spare your sister," Auntie Long said, walking towards the ward, "Xia Ni, take care of Jasmine, I'll go inside and ask."
After Auntie Long left, Jasmine felt the awkward silence, scratched her head, and thought of a topic, but before she could open her mouth, Xia Ni's serious voice came from her ears.
It was rare to hear Xia Ni speak in such a serious tone, which made Jasmine's heart suddenly twitch.
"Moli, I always feel that something is not right."
Jasmine remained motionless, but her ears perked up.
"How to say?"
"Grandpa Qiao woke up just before we arrived at the bridge," Xia Ni's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it, "Don't you think...it's a bit too coincidental?"
