It was night, and everyone returned to their rooms one after another to do their own business, and Zhou Li was no exception. He wanted to plan all the things he needed to do when he went to the west, so as not to be in a hurry when he was preparing for the battle.
Dong Dong Dong~
There was a crisp knock on the door, and after getting Zhou Li's response, Eluma walked in with two cups of green bamboo brew with a little mint. Seeing this, Zhou Li was too lazy to continue with the complicated and boring plan. He tossed the notebook, patted the edge of the bed, and said to Eluma, "Let's go together."
"of course."
With a bit of coquettishness, the girl's lips curved into a perfect arc. She placed the green wine in front of Zhou Li, took another cup herself, and sat on the blue sheets. She bought this for Zhou Li. It was matching and exactly the same as the one in her room.
Gurgling.
After drinking the green wine prepared by Eluma himself, Zhou Li's manic depression in his chest calmed down. Of course, it was more because of that man's eyes narrowed into two cute crescents, looking at him with a comforting smile. My own girl.
"So tired, so tired."
Zhou Li rarely showed fatigue or fatigue on his appearance, but in front of Eluma, he was always so unscrupulous. But Eluma just liked Zhou Li like this, which made her feel a little secretly happy and satisfied.
"Be good~ Just relax when you are tired."
Sometimes, Eluma's naive appearance is extremely cute, but more often than not, she has always been the gentle sister recognized by everyone. She is always like this, with the agility and cunning like an elf, and she tolerates others with the simplest and most straightforward gentleness. Obviously, Zhou Li liked this very much. In other words, he only eats this.
Eluma looked at Zhou Li who was exuding fatigue and laziness in front of her. She thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something happy, and coughed twice.
Today, Eluma wore a long-sleeved shirt with ribbons, which was silky, smooth, and elegant in light blue. There are some simple and elegant lines painted on it, which is loose and elegant. At the hem of the shirt is a white silk skirt with a soft and smooth texture. Eluma tilted her head slightly, pursed her lower lip, and said softly to Zhou Li with a little nervousness and inaudible pride:
"Want to take a break?"
Zhou Li was startled for a moment, while Eluma's eyebrows were shy, her red lips pursed, and she patted her legs gently. Only then did Zhou Li realize what Eluma meant.
Seeing Zhou Li who was a little confused but also looking forward to it, Eluma suppressed her excitement and pretended to be calm and whispered: "I took a shower, it smells very good."
At this time, Zhou Liren was completely stunned. Even the death of the God of Death, Ga Bang, did not make him so panicked. At this time, Eluma was sitting on the edge of the bed, with her skirt slightly moved upwards, which exposed a lot of her graceful calves, which was perfect for her skin-like skin. A thin line is squeezed out from the junction of the legs together, which shows the delicateness of the skin.
"I don't dislike you."
Inexplicably, when Zhou Li saw Eluma's delicate cheeks stained with crimson and the refreshing beauty of the girl's posture, his original panic disappeared inexplicably. Instead there was a faint joy and a beautiful peace. He was not polite, walked to the bed, adjusted his position, and lay on Eluma's legs.
The soft touch and the girl's body fragrance instantly occupied Zhou Li's mind. It was a warm touch, and there was also a fragrance that could often be smelled on Eluma, but at this time it was particularly elegant and lingering in his body. in mind. Zhou Li felt a sense of peace that he had never had before. He closed his eyes and was speechless.
The moonlight outside the window was very rich, floating in the room like fallen leaves. Eluma's breathing was steady and her expression was calm as usual. She stretched out her hand to gently cover Zhou Li's eyes, and gently stroked his hair with her other hand. Lowering his head and looking at him carefully, maybe it was today, or maybe it was the strangeness accumulated from countless beautiful daily lives. The young man who had been watching him felt happy no matter how he looked at it.
Eluma had noticed very early that Zhou Li was not just at odds with the gods as others said. Although she looks a little stupid, she is actually very sharp. She discovered early on that Zhou Li had always had a bone-deep hatred and fear for the gods.
At first, Eluma was a little panicked when she noticed this. They had just met at that time, and she was worried that Zhou Li would be hurt because of his disrespect for the gods. In her eyes, Zhou Li was summoned to this world by himself, and she must be responsible for him. So at that time, she wanted to correct Zhou Li and let him live like a normal brave man.
Slowly, Eluma felt something was wrong. She didn't know why, but every time she saw Zhou Li, there would always be an inexplicable throbbing in the depths of her soul. At first, she thought it was her calling to guide the brave. But later, she began to realize that her throbbing was not a sudden emotion, but a long-term emotion that could only be brought about by long-term staying and companionship.
But at that time, she had only known Zhou Li for less than a month.
Zhou Li was very powerful at that time. He was like a prophet who knew everything. He easily took down the Goblin tribe in the Twilight Forest, asked the Zisha Merchant to invest in him, and solved countless problems, as if any difficulties and setbacks were easily resolved by him. This made Eluma feel very scared at the time. She began to wonder what the meaning of her existence was, and whether she could really be by the side of the boy who was like a god.
Until that day, he shattered the invincible rules of Shen Nai, causing the goddess of life to bow her noble head to him. Eluma was shocked at the time. She had never thought that a brave man would do such a heinous thing. At that time, she was even ready to plead guilty to the gods and take the blame on herself. However, just when she was panicking to find the god, she saw Zhou Li's eyes looking into hers at the moment when he fell weakly.
Perhaps Eluma will never forget that look. That look that seemed to transcend time, space and even everything, filled with joy, expectation, and deep emotion. At that moment, Eluma understood that she could no longer leave Zhou Li. She said she was responsible for him, and she could not make this young man who had placed his expectations on her sad. Therefore, between the gods and the brave, she chose Zhou Li.
Eluma can always "smell" the emotions of others. She can know lies, sadness, pain, and joy. But in the first days, whenever Zhou Li looked at her, she couldn't smell Zhou Li's emotions, which made her feel very confused.
Eluma once thought that it was because Zhou Li disliked her for being stupid and unable to help him, so he ignored her and didn't even show any emotion. However, when he and Eluma were lying on the terrace and looking at the beautiful and brilliant sunset together, she smelled the most beautiful smell in the world.
like.
Innocent love without any distracting thoughts, as bright and bright as a gem. Only then did Eluma understand that love has no taste. This mysterious and subjective word is everything about two people. It does not need to have a smell or even a color, because the other person is all love. . Just like Zhou Li, he didn't need to talk or express loudly to her, just looking at her was enough.
After that, Eluma began to choose to walk side by side with Zhou Li. She no longer feels inferior or unconfident. Because she owns Zhou Li and the most beautiful treasure in the world, she feels that she should be a little proud.
Neither Zhou Li nor Eluma noticed it. When Eluma gained pride, this girl who was loved by the world truly blossomed into her brilliance. And it is precisely because of this that Zhou Li has the strongest anchor and the meaning that allows him to confront the terrifying existence.
This is not a story about who pursues whom, this is a story about two people whose souls are interdependent and shine brightly together.
"Go to sleep."
Eluma's fingertips were soft and slightly cold. She lowered her head, her long blue hair tucked behind her ears. On her slender white wrist, the bracelet engraved with the names of Zhou Li and Eluma glowed faintly in the moonlight. Her fingers traced the string of runes that carried the memories of the two of them, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, covering up the beauty of the moonlight.
"I'll always be there."
For a long time, Zhou Li's dreams no longer contained the roars of gods and cruel wars. He just lay in a sea of lavender flowers, with the girl beside him who made him happy and at ease holding his hand and accompanying him through the long night.
***************************
The next day.
dong dong dong
Pushing open the door and entering, Lin Zi was surprised to see Zhou Li sleeping on his pure white legs. Eluma put her finger on her lips and made a shushing gesture.
She and Zhou Li stayed in this position all night. Because of the presence of the black mist, Eluma did not feel any discomfort. It was the first time that Zhou Li got such a good sleep, which made him rarely get up early, but continued to sleep in a daze. Lin Zi saw this scene as soon as she entered the door. This made her, who originally wanted to urge Zhou Li to eat, stop talking. She just smiled and left the room cautiously.
"Okay, let's eat."
This large-scale breakfast is not cumbersome, so even if Eluma is not around, Lin Ling, who has Linghai's help, can easily take care of the breakfast. She took off her apron and put it aside, looked at Lin Zi curiously, and asked her:
"What's wrong? Mr. Zhou Li, didn't you prepare breakfast?"
"He is sleeping soundly on Sister Eluma's lap right now."
"well?"
After hearing this sentence, Don Quixote who was discussing tactics with Tia and Tolea, Ain who was chatting happily with Alyosha, Ivy who was amusing with Kaya, and Lin in the kitchen Both Ling and Linghai stopped their movements in unison, with a tacit look of gossip on their faces.
Although Zhou Li and Eluma were like an old married couple on weekdays, their tacit understanding and familiarity were like soul mates. But as of now, these two people don't know why they haven't become a couple in a real sense. Therefore, even though everyone usually paid no attention to their interaction, when they heard this gossip, everyone's gossip fire was immediately ignited.
Now, except for Torea who is not very interested in this kind of thing, Tia who is a non-staff member, and Kaya who is not sure why, everyone's eyes are focused on Lin Zi at this time. What does it mean? it goes without saying.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Zi jumped onto the chair with a cry. She picked up the bread, spread the jam on it, and said with a smile: "You don't know, just now I opened the door and wanted to call our brave man to eat. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the gentleness of Sister Eluma. Oh, my heart almost melted."
"Zhou Li is lying on Sister Eluma's lap. Let me tell you, Zhou Li is pretty good-looking when he is neither mean nor slutty. You don't know that Zhou Li looked so peaceful and peaceful at that time. He was so calm that it was scary. All."
With three parts exaggeration and seven parts truth, Lin Zi happily told everyone how incredible the scene just now was. Everyone listened with gusto.
"When do you think these two will get married?"
At this time, Ivi, who has always liked gossip, said with emotion: "These two people are truly a match made in heaven. Who else but Eluma can withstand Zhou Li?"
"And now it seems that only Zhou Li is worthy of Sister Eluma."
Lin Zi put the bread down, picked up her fingers and started to count: "Look, Sister Eluma is more beautiful than a fairy. She is gentle and considerate, has superb cooking skills, and is very good at housekeeping. She also has the ability of the Black Emperor. , and the combat effectiveness is also very high. I feel that apart from Zhou Li, there seems to be no one who is worthy of sister Eluma."
"really."
Aiwei nodded and agreed: "If Zhou Li hadn't been cunning, cunning, inciting dissension, cheating and kidnapping all day long, he would be considered a disgrace in the world. He would actually be pretty good."
"If that's the case, Zhou Li will lose his characteristics."
Torea on the side spoke at this moment and pointed out calmly: "Actually, Your Majesty the Brave is not too sinister and cunning, it's okay."
"Oh, when did Torreia protect Lao Zhou?"
Looking at Torea, who was usually indifferent to these matters, but unusually involved today, Ain raised an eyebrow and asked curiously: "Don't you usually care about this? Why are you speaking for Lao Zhou at this time? "
Ivey waved his hand, laughed, and said nonchalantly: "Torrea, you are just used to being squeezed by Lao Zhou, and you don't want to tell the truth at all. Let me tell you, the last time I went to Magnum for a dinner, What those nobles said was so ugly, they almost described Zhou Li as a tyrant who eats two demons every day and plays with them, being cunning and cunning is considered a minor thing..."
It was only now that Ivey realized something was wrong from the regretful expressions on others' faces. He turned his head dullly, and sure enough, Zhou Li was standing behind him, smiling kindly.
Really kind.
