The door opened, and Valentine raised his head. In front of him was a lightless world. At this moment, there are still stars in the night sky, but the moon is not in the center, and the midnight hour has passed.
The living room was very quiet, and the boy could only hear the gentle sound of wind blowing by his ears. He teased the little fox in his arms, closed the door quietly, and stepped into the darkness.
The white fox didn't respond to him, and Valentine could only feel the soft touch and heat from his arm.
Probably already asleep.
He laughed silently and walked towards the stairs, grabbing a carton of milk in the dark as he passed the kitchen.
It had been several hours since dinner time, and Valentine was already hungry.
Over the thousands of years, he has lived here only a few times, but every three to five years. The environment in the house has been engraved in my heart, even if I am blindfolded, it will not be much hindrance.
There was a sound of closing the door not far away, it must be Jiao Zhengyu returning to the bedroom. Valentin reminisced about the aroma of milk and thought of the conversation he had just had with her in the hot spring.
After Jiao Zhengyu explained the origin of the little fox, he sat by the hot spring and cried again. The tears that fell contained not only guilt and love for Chen Le and Tang Yuwen, but also a hint of helplessness.
What if they return to themselves?
Nothing results except making my heart ache all over again.
The moment he returns to Terra, everything in the subcontinent will disappear.
No being is immune.
When the Creator God leaves, this harmonious world will also leave.
In the future, only you will know that such a paradise on earth once existed in the universe.
Only I remember the whiteness of the snow.
"Happiness is always based on pain. I used to laugh when I saw you being unlucky."
Jiao Zhengyu's words instantly stopped Valentine's sadness, followed by a roll of his eyes.
"But sometimes, seeing others happy makes you happier."
She chuckled.
"When you return to the world of Terra, the Source Stone wrapped around your body will break into pieces and be taken away by me."
"Just think of it as the round trip expenses for your four girls and your resurrection expenses."
"Besides, to make this journey more profound, I will give you a small gift."
Valentine's hand froze.
"This fox will go to Terra with you, live in your spiritual space, and can also be summoned to reality."
"You will share life with it, just like the spirit behind it."
Looking at the stunned little dragon man, Jiao Zhengyu picked up the little yellow duck that floated beside him at some point and walked out of the hot spring.
"A long time ago, you told me that you wanted to get a pet."
"Isn't this already there?"
The girl gradually moved away, but her voice was still as clear as ringing in his ears.
…
When Valentine woke up from his memories, he had walked to the bedroom door.
The milk carton in my hand was empty, and no matter how much I sucked it, all I could taste was air. Valentin glanced at the straw that was bitten beyond recognition and threw it back.
The milk carton disappeared the moment it came out of hand, and appeared directly in the trash can in the living room the next moment.
The young man turned to look at the corridor and sighed softly.
This small building looks miniscule on the outside, but it has a large interior space, which is equivalent to the Chernobog Growler Villa with the appearance of Yeyan's house.
These two places happened to be the residences that left a deep impression on Valentine.
The rooms on both sides of the corridor on the second floor are bedrooms, which were specially planned when he was a wise king.
After all, in addition to Valentine, there were many princes and princesses living here at that time.
Now that the princes and princesses have become a thing of history, these bedrooms have also received new guests.
They should all be asleep now, right?
I took a bit too long to soak in the hot springs by myself.
At that time, Valentin still felt that someone would come looking for him, but it turned out that the person coming was not Raphael or Xing Yihuang, but Jiao Zhengyu...
This surprised him.
Later, the two talked a lot, and unexpected things happened. Time passed like water.
let's talk tomorrow.
"Sleep, Xiaole."
Valentine kissed the little fox on the head, turned the handle and opened the door.
But what caught my eye was not darkness, but a soft light.
————————Finally together————————
"Raphael?"
Even if thousands of years pass, Valentine will still recognize this soft glow.
An angel sat beside the bed, the little wings behind his back flickering like a breathing lamp. The halo above her head was a little crooked and the light was very dim, but it suddenly lit up after hearing Valentine's voice, swayed twice and then floated above her head.
"Ah, Xiao Wa!"
Raphael, who was originally drowsy, woke up immediately, turned around and stood up, and wanted to run over and give Valentine a hug.
But after seeing the little fox in the other person's arms, she quickly stopped moving and just waved hello.
"Why are you in my room? Aren't you taking a rest?"
Valentine blinked in surprise.
Not only Raphael, but Xing Yihuang was also in his bedroom, lying on the bed with a book in his hand.
The lamp on the small table next to the bed was on, providing just enough light.
Her reaction was very dull. She looked up at the door and continued to focus on the book, which was in sharp contrast to Raphael.
"You can sleep here tonight...this bed is quite big."
Valentine didn't turn on the light. The bedside table lamp and the angel sister provided enough light for people to see clearly.
He put the little fox next to the pillow and covered it with a small blanket.
According to Jiao Zhengyu, although Chen Le at this time is exactly like an ordinary fox, there are still differences.
For example, there is no peculiar smell, and they do not urinate or defecate at will. They are very well-behaved.
It's a perfect pet.
Valentin is also relieved to let it sleep on the bed.
"Is this the little fox?"
A strand of golden hair hung down and appeared in Valentin's field of vision. He turned his head slightly and saw Raphael standing next to him with a curious look on his face.
At this time, Sister Angel was wearing a plain white suspender nightdress, dotted with light-colored flower patterns, with a simple and simple beauty.
Her long blond hair was tied back, leaving only a few strands of side hair hanging in front of her body. She was a little less feminine than usual, but more capable and refreshing.
"Chen Le?"
Raphael noticed Valentin's gaze, turned to meet his eyes, and asked.
"……right."
When those shimmering blue pupils appeared in Valentine's field of vision, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
The chaotic thoughts in his mind were cleared away, leaving only a word he saw a long time ago.
One glance for thousands of years.
Raphael is a thoughtful girl, and she naturally notices the mood swings of the person in front of her.
"come over."
The angel smiled slightly, took Valentin's hand, and pulled him to the other side of the bed.
Xing Yihuang stopped lying down, put the book on the table, and sat on the bedside.
"Why?"
Before Valentine could react, he was already 'surrounded'.
The direction of this bedroom is very good. When you open the curtains, you can clearly see the starry sky, and you can also bathe in the first ray of sunlight in the morning.
Under the starlight, there were three people sitting in a row, with a dull-looking young man in the middle. The angel on his left raised his lips slightly and held his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would get lost again.
The dragon girl in the back was still indifferent, but she slowly leaned on the boy and tilted her head slightly.
“Can you tell us the story of how it came about?”
In the darkness, Raphael looked at the starry sky and murmured softly.
This voice was as soft as cotton, blending with Xing Yihuang's shallow breathing in Valentin's ears, flowing into his heart, and warming his whole body.
He suddenly realized that he had finally crossed that threshold at this moment.
"OK."
Valentine smiled, genuinely.
