"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. It seems that you are almost recovered. You... you should go home. I think your parents must be very worried about you."
Gu Cheng was actually very reluctant to say this.
But what can he do?
If she was still that little fox, Gu Cheng would definitely keep her by his side for a few days without hesitation, but now that he was a human being, a living girl, he couldn't leave a young girl in his home, right?
"I, I don't have a home." Su Yingxue said hesitantly. 【2】
"Having no home, it turns out, you are just like me."
The "home" here, of course, refers to a healthy and happy family with parents still alive.
Only now did Gu Cheng realize that the little fox was also a lonely child like him. It seemed that she was even more miserable, as she was dying when they first met.
However, how could she do it, she didn't even have any clothes?
Yes, Su Yingxue was wearing Gu Cheng's iconic red and black coat.
Presumably this is the first time she has turned into a human form. Is it to take care of me?
Wait, it’s the first time to transform into a human form, a demon clan.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
It shouldn't, really shouldn't.
This is the first time a demon tribe has transformed into a human form. It shouldn't be known to others so brazenly. This should be a secret, and the fewer people know about it, the better.
A demon that has transformed into a human form can interact with people normally and live in human society without anyone doubting whether it is a demon or a human.
A demon that has not transformed into a human form can survive in the wild. At most, humans only think of it as a normal beast.
And if the demon that takes human form for the first time is known, it will be recognized. That is equivalent to the exposure of the dual identities of human body and demon body.
In the Tang and Yu dynasties, once the identity of the demon was completely exposed, it would lead to death!
She should be able to realize that this is just a small coma and will not threaten my life. It will only make me weak for a few days. I only need to recover for a few days. She doesn't need this.
She could have sent me back to my room and left silently, which would have been considered the utmost kindness. At most, I would think that the little fox I rescued had escaped, instead of guessing that the little fox was a "demon".
And in order to take care of me, she turned into a human form. Wouldn't this indirectly reveal her identity as a "demon"?
If I have any designs on her, I can report her to the Supervision Department that she is a fox demon.
By then, I will receive a generous bonus, and she will once again face her own disaster.
The Tang Yu Dynasty had the most stringent ban on demons among the six dynasties, not to mention she was a fox demon. You know, the previous king almost led the entire Tang and Yu dynasties into an abyss of eternal destruction because of his greed for the beauty of the fox demon. Because of this, the royal family of the Tang and Yu dynasties hated monsters, especially fox monsters.
Once the fox demon's identity is verified, he should be cut into pieces.
This identity must never be exposed in the Tang and Yu Dynasties!
What's more, she has clearly seen how I look when I'm crazy. That kind of viciousness and terror won't make anyone want to get close to me. She shouldn't even risk exposing my identity to take care of me like this!
But she, but she...
No, no one would risk exposing their identity and endangering their lives by dating a misfortune star or a madman who goes crazy from time to time, unless...unless he has something to gain.
But, now that I am completely broke, what does she want from me?
I am just an ordinary person, what can she want from me? Is she really just taking care of me?
No, how could someone be so stupid and naive to take care of a stranger at the expense of exposing themselves?
However, there seems to be no other explanation.
He couldn't believe it, so he asked tentatively: "You are a monster, right?"
"Yeah."【3】
"You're willing to reveal your identity just so you can take care of me when I'm in a coma?"
"My benefactor saved my life. Of course it's too late for me to repay my benefactor." The girl's tone was light and airy, as if she was answering a trivial matter.
"But if your identity is exposed, your life will be in danger, aren't you afraid?"
"My life was saved by my benefactor. If I am killed because of my benefactor, I will not blame my benefactor."
"Wait, I mean, aren't you afraid that I will report your identity to the Supervision Department?" He was a little anxious.
"My benefactor has a good heart and is not such a person."
This was the first time he heard praise from others.
"Even if my benefactor really does this, I will not blame my benefactor once he saved me."
"A drop of grace should be repaid by a spring. A life-saving grace... I, I just need to take care of my benefactor honestly, and I won't think about messy things."
boom------
This simple answer completely overturned all the guesses in Gu Cheng's mind. He felt very confused now.
But he still didn't want to believe it, he was resisting, and he didn't want to admit it.
Yes, if a person has lived in darkness for a long time, how can he believe in the existence of light, even if the sunshine has indeed shone on him. Even though this light is so pure, so dreamy, so holy...
But he still subconsciously believed that this was an illusion, an accident, and a "dark" trap...
But sunshine is always sunshine, no matter how you doubt it, the light will still be bright.
So he used all his strength to make his final test.
"No, you are lying. You must be lying, right?"
He was yelling to hide his guilt.
"I'm really just taking care of you. By the way, benefactor, this is the soup I made for you. Drink it while it's hot."
The girl picked up the soup, blew on it, and handed it to him.
But Gu Cheng was so confused that he dropped the bowl of soup directly to the ground.
There was a sharp breaking sound, which was the sound of the bowl breaking. Along with the breaking sound, there was soup spilling on the floor.
"Since I can remember, I have never met anyone who cares about me so much. Even my father is simply fulfilling the so-called father's responsibilities. How could anyone be stupid enough to take care of me like you! What a calculation. What a good plan! Pretend that your life is in danger so that I can save you, and then build trust, and then go further to win my sympathy by saying that you have no home. What a good plan! What is your purpose in trying so hard to get close to me? ?”
"Benefactor..."
"Oh, no wonder the dynasty has issued such a strict ban on monsters. You monster clan are so scheming, so you have to be careful! Oh, fox monster, what a fox monster! They say that fox monsters bring disaster to the country and the people. It seems that it is indeed the case. !”
The girl was stunned for a few seconds, and then she cried. First, a drop of tear quickly broke away from her eyes, fell off her cheek, and fell to the ground. Then, there were two lines of clear water.
"My dear friend, is the fox demon so despicable in your eyes?"
It was the first time Gu Cheng saw a girl crying, and his heart suddenly softened.
"My benefactor, I really just want to take care of you. Am I so unbearable like this?"
Gu Cheng looked at her in astonishment and couldn't answer for a while.
The girl leaned forward and stared at him with a pair of tearful eyes. Staring at these tearful eyes, Gu Cheng felt an inexplicable sadness and depression - it was the condemnation from his conscience.
"Gu Cheng, do you really believe your blunt words?"
This time she didn't call him "benefactor", but called him by his first name.
A tear slid down his cheek and fell hot between Gu Cheng's fingers.
"You really don't believe me?"
Gu Cheng wanted to dodge his eyes, but was firmly locked by the girl's big watery eyes. He knew how pale his explanation was.
"I am sorry."
First there was a belated apology, and then there was overwhelming remorse and guilt in my heart...
Yes, what else does she have on her mind? She is just a little fox demon who is inexperienced in the world. She just purely wanted to help me and wanted to repay the favor. But I, I said she was a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people.
I have been looked down upon for so long, and finally met the only person who was willing to be nice to me, but the first time I met her, I hurt her so deeply. How can I... be worthy of her!
Even if her beauty is really a disaster, at the very least, she has never had any evil intentions towards me. But I, with the greatest evil thoughts, doubted her...
"Su Yingxue, I..."
He didn't know what he wanted to say, so he just touched his hand to Su Yingxue's snow-white hair.
But his move made the girl cry even harder.
She cried so hard that she seemed to want to cry out all her grievances.
She was crying and resentful, her body was shaking, and she said angrily:
"Gu Cheng, why don't you believe me?"
The girl cried so hard that she lost all strength and fell on top of him. Crying.
"I've been cooking soup for so long and finally succeeded once. You didn't say thank you, but instead..."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she clenched her fist and punched him hard, even though... the punch had no power at all.
Gu Cheng didn't know how to coax girls, so he had to keep stroking the girl's white hair, apologizing constantly, and letting the girl vent. 【4】
………………
The next day.
They reconciled, or in other words, Su Yingxue forgave him.
This forgiveness is not easy. Gu Cheng didn't know how long he had to coax him.
On this day, Gu Cheng made a rare trip to a clothing store and spent money to buy a dress that looked pretty good.
"Su Yingxue, put this outfit on, it will look great."
"good."
The girl put on new clothes, bright and attractive.
"Su Yingxue, you know, I haven't had family or friends since I was a child, and I can't feel the warmth. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday."
"I stopped blaming you a long time ago."
"You'll stay with me, right?"
"I have no home, no family, no support, no place to go, so I can only stay with you."
"Back mountain..."
"I don't want to stay in the cold back mountain. It's too deserted there and there isn't even a playmate to play with."
"Then you can be my sister. It just so happens that neither of us has family. We also have to take care of each other."
Tang San: 6
"Okay." The girl agreed, her snow-white hair shining brightly in the sunlight.
They say that quarreling can sometimes bring people closer together, and it seems to be true. Sometimes, a quarrel is the beginning of a new journey. Of course, the premise is understanding and tolerance.

Author summary and chat
[1] The relationship progressed so fast. I didn’t even expect that the quarrel stage would appear in Chapter 4. This is the stage in Chapter 4. Then there is no bridal chamber in Chapter 5? No, absolutely not! With such a rapid emotional development, I still want to write a fair!
【2】Su Yingxue actually has a family, well, they are still alive, but she forgot about it. The male protagonist is already in such a miserable state, so the female protagonist should just let her go.
【3】While I was writing this, I went to eat a bowl of instant noodles. It didn’t matter if I ate it, it messed up the rhythm of my writing, so you may feel a little confused when reading the following content. I said in the article, “Gu Cheng’s thoughts are very complicated. "Chaos" is actually to cover up that my writing is a bit messy.
However, adding the sentence "Gu Cheng's thoughts are very confused" seems to be a bit of a stroke of genius. It directly echoes the content of the previous thoughts. There is no need to change the previous content and rewrite it. I will tell you directly: just read it randomly! Well, as expected of me.
[4] Gu Cheng doesn’t know how to coax girls. In fact, I don’t know how to coax girls. I have never pretended to coax girls. Including the dialogue between the characters, everyone will feel that it is very stiff. In fact, it is a reflection of my poor interpersonal skills because I don't like to interact with others.
This is not okay, writing like this is simply not up to par! ...how to change it? How about I spend my free time flirting with girls?
Well, for the sake of career, I’m afraid I have to do this. . .
[5] I write a fantasy novel, but I have never given a detailed introduction to the setting of the article, including the character battles. This is mainly because the "leapfrog counter-kill" feeling is a bit too compact, and a bit abrupt, which makes it uncomfortable. Readers feel that "the class boundaries set in this world are just like this", it is better to first introduce the character background, story background, character personality and other aspects to make it more practical.
Friends who like to read cool articles will suffer in the first few chapters, but those who like to read sweet articles will have a good time in the new year.
Well, not many people saw it.
