The second day.
"Do you really want to choose Elvia?" Afterwards, Xining still asked this question with worry.
At this time, they had returned to the room on the mountain. Xue Chu was sitting lazily by the fireplace. Even when he heard such emotional words, he just raised his eyes casually.
"This is not really a choice," she said. "Alvia is a businessman. Today she can extend an olive branch to me because of her own desires, but tomorrow her appearance of gentleness will be completely torn apart because of interests."
"So you know..." Xining was in a complicated mood, as if he was remembering the disrupted celebration party again.
"But actually what he said is right," Xue Chu snorted, with a less obvious smile in the corner of his eyes, "because when that moment comes, I will unscrew that head faster than him. .”
"Also, there is no need to learn such things as honorifics."
"Then Rong Xu..."
This name successfully made Xue Chu frown, "You are the second person to mention this name."
She sighed, as if she didn't understand where these people's worries came from.
"Actually, I didn't think about expelling him at this time," Xue Chu said seriously, looking at the corner, and there was indeed some distress in his words, "...the tail is exposed."
"Huh?" The nominated kid's heart skipped a beat.
He walked out of the darkness cautiously, tugging at the fabric of his cuffs with both hands, looking a little hesitant indeed.
...This may be the result of Yinxi who started to guard her closely since she came back.
Should I say that Rong Xu is very charming? This kid who always liked to pester Yin Xi turned against him in fear.
"If you come here like this, Yinxi will probably be really distressed."
Xining persuaded in a low voice: "You Laijia is still young."
Xue Chu was helpless: "I didn't want to do anything to him."
...Why do you think Rong Xu is her minefield?
"Aren't you coming over yet?" Xue Chu stretched out his hand towards Yulaika, as if he was amused by the little guy's awkward footwork, and his original words of relief turned around and swallowed back in an instant.
She didn't say anything to You Laijia, she just rubbed the little guy's cold fingertips and finally held them in her hands.
"Sister..." Yu Laijia, who is naturally sensitive to emotions, tilted his head. After confirming in his mind, he dragged himself into Xuechu's arms in the next second.
The young dragon has not yet grown its dragon horns, so it relies on its soft hair to rub into the owner's arms like a spoiled child.
"..."
This scene is actually a bit heartwarming.
Xining secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from in front of Xuechu openly.
——Then he was grabbed by another little hand just around the corner.
"What's wrong?" She lowered her head and squatted down to look at the silent boy.
Those red eyes were half hidden in the darkness, and like their master, they could quickly shrink away from the light whenever they encountered a sharp point.
"Maybe you should trust them more," Xining, who had seen through the boy's thoughts, stretched out his hand, but was avoided by him before he even touched the other person's hair.
...Okay, that's normal.
Xining was not surprised, nor did she make any move because of this move. She just looked at Yinxi who had an unnatural expression, half sighed and half helplessly said what she had been hiding in her heart.
"Maybe I shouldn't say this, but someone has to tell you."
"You are much more important than you think. At least, Miss Xuechu has never thought of giving up on you, right?"
Xining was a little troubled by her lack of language. She looked at the young boy's tightly pressed lips and began to hope that Flosia would appear at this time.
——Her friends are always better at communicating.
Unlike her, she had used up all the acting skills she had accumulated when she sought help from Xue Chu that day.
...Miss Xuechu is the magical Miss Xuechu.
Xining stood up calmly, his eyes flashing with anticipation that he had not even noticed.
Yinxi still didn't speak.
He watched Xining go away quietly, then took a step back, burying his whole body in the deep black shadow, as if he was breathing in the secret part of his soul.
Yinxi knows that she is different from Yulaika and Tier.
The former can act coquettishly towards Xuechu without any scruples, while the latter doesn't care about the correctness of his behavior at all, and only looks at Xuechu as an indicator wholeheartedly.
But he can't.
He is an abandoned defective product, an outsider who hides in the darkness and peeks at the light again and again.
He is a vampire, and the entire past reflected in his eyes is the sludge overflowing with vampires.
The blood of the vampires carries the original sin of desire. Yinxi looked at the light from the slightly opened door with an expressionless face, and the red in his eyes deepened and dimmed little by little.
"Yinxi."
The light spread out with fangs and claws, and at the same time, the shadows on the ground became more and more complete.
"I remember I didn't leave you thinking about it."
Xuechu stopped in front of him, her voice slightly hoarse, "I have to admit this time, I'm a little angry."
The moment she heard these words, Yin Xi suddenly raised her eyes, her dove-blood eyes curled up, as if she was about to cry.
But he didn't cry.
Instead, in a way that extremely tested Xue Chu's psychological defense, he stepped back and then hit the wall without any accident.
…This is simply sprinting in reverse.
Listening to the constant security alarms coming from the system, the corners of Xuechu's lips calmed down.
"I remember that I didn't pick up a fragile porcelain," Xue Chu, who didn't want to rush directly to the first stage, looked condescendingly at the young man who looked away, stretched out his hand, and looked at the latter's shivering expression - directly ruffled his hair.
Shrinking but not hiding.
Xue Chu glanced at him, and her expression finally softened.
"Look at me," she ordered directly.
Yin Xi raised her head blankly, and before she could say anything, she had already met those dark eyes.
Xuechu squatted down, and when she wanted to look at someone, even the corners of her peripheral vision were soft.
This was not like her usual style. Xuechu poked Yinxi's forehead, and with the last trace of trust in her choice, she opened her mouth and said: "If you want to leave or rot at will, that won't happen." Permitted.”
"But if you want a hug, you can do it now."
Da Yao, who was not good at sensationalism, had a cold attitude, but at this moment, she still clearly saw the hand that Yin Xi subconsciously wanted to reach out.
So Xue Chu laughed out loud without the virtues of an elder.
"I want..." Yinxi just closed his eyes, feeling that the breath he breathed in was filled with an inescapable burning heat, as if it was about to burn away his soul.
It's dazzling and uncomfortable, but surprisingly not annoying.
Or……
It's like walking into the edge of a mire and seeing the last moon.
Even the light has a hint of coolness.
Yinxi hugged him forward, and behind him, little Yulaika, whose head had popped up early, clapped his hands, and hugged him quickly as well.
