What Ah Candle prepared for Xia Xiao also prepared for Hu Bugui as it was. Hu Bugui didn't look at the price of the things sent, only looked at the heart, so he couldn't close his mouth happily.

As a leader in the foothills, Hu Bugui has also been a teacher, and he has received countless gifts, jade antiques, and spiritual fruit delicacies, but they are not as simple and direct as a meal. What you make with your own hands is more sincere than what you spend money buying. And with Hu Bugui's strength, he knew where Xia Xiao was in a second.

Carrying the bamboo basket, Ah Candle was a little excited, and his heart was beating extremely fast. Today she wears a black and white dress, without too many ornaments, just like there is only a headband between her hair, and she simply ties her hair together. During his time in the academy, Ah Candle still learned some makeup skills, although it was only very light makeup, but eyeshadow, thrush, blush and rouge were all involved.

The light makeup made the candlelight emitted by this candle more exquisite, but she was still a little unconfident in herself. The mountain did not bring her inferiority, and her grandmother's words always gave her the guidelines and principles of being a person. But she felt that Xia Xiao loved Shushuang so much, even if she didn't fall in love with Shangshan, she wouldn't be very indifferent.

To put it bluntly, Ah Candle is afraid that the situation he fears the most will happen. If Xia Xiao didn't promise herself, and deliberately alienated herself in the future, she would lose more than she gained. She felt that Xia Xiao had done that kind of thing, he was very afraid of trouble, and he often talked about trouble when he was out on tasks before.

Xia Xiao's Xiaobai Building was shrouded in the light of the last few fiery clouds of the day, and Ah Candle stood outside the courtyard wall of the Xiaobai Building, and his shadow was reflected on the wall, and he also entered the courtyard. Just as he was pacing in place at this time, his heart had already flown to Xia Xiao's side.

Xia Xiao was still immersed in his own world, he sat in the metal hall, in this slightly cool, just suitable place for summer to talk about good things with the golden spirit beast. The golden spirit beast has always been pretentious, and feels that he is a very special character, and everyone in the world has to make way for him. But above him, there is a clear son, and now there is goodness.

The power left by the god in the body of the golden spirit beast is the golden vitality possessed by the ancient golden spirit beast, which can be used to destroy and annihilate the power in the body of the good, and get rid of the five elements. Strictly speaking, that's the true power of God. In contrast, the power possessed by the good is stronger. Therefore, the golden spirit beast was silent for a long time when it heard that Shangshan was staying by Xia Xiao's side.

The ancient hall golden spirit beast had seen it, and the rune array in it was beyond his reach. The power in his body is also difficult to compare. Those five rune arrays were personally cast by the ancestor of the Spirit Pact, designed to resist the impact of black qi. And his mission to cut everything off and eliminate the black qi is just ...... The product of its own pride. The original intention of the Lord of the Spirit Contract to leave him behind is actually a little different from this.

The golden spirit beast is too arrogant, and even a little unbeatable. But he chose to meditate, and did not tell the true intentions of the ancestor of the spirit contract, and he needed to weigh it. Even if he really couldn't leave Xia Xiao in the end and become an independent free body, he couldn't be called by Xia Xiao like the wood spirit beasts.

"With such an arrogant temperament, you will definitely not tolerate going back on your word. So I believe in you, as long as you promise me to join forces with me, I will help you break the seal. Although you can't leave me after the seal is lifted, you can't be more free than here. What do you think?"

In the face of the golden spirit beast that is hard and soft and does not eat, Xia Xiao can only be considered successful if he reaches an agreement with him. But his answer was the same, only one sentence.

"Let me think about it. ”

There was some hesitation in his deep voice, but he had already wavered, and he did not have the firm conviction he had at first. He had read Xia Xiao's memory, knew the origin of the Pu knife, and knew that it had a weak connection with Shu Shuang. Now that Pu Dao has turned into a human and followed Xia Xiao, it is not a strange thing.

This is Xia Xiao's trick, Shangshan will not follow him obediently, but as long as the golden spirit beast makes a decision, it will be fine.

"Wait a minute. ”

The female voice is sweet, which makes Xia Xiao like a spring breeze. It is also a pleasure to have such a woman by her side, but Xia Xiao used to be miserable because of the shadow of Shu Shuang on her body.

"Xia Xiao, Ah Candle is here. ”

Xiao Ran finished speaking softly, ready to let Ah Candle go if Xia Xiao didn't wake up. People in practice are not allowed to be disturbed, this is the rule of practitioners.

What is she doing here?

Xia Xiao's expression was flat, and he always felt that there was nothing good, and Ah Candle was different from the past when he performed the mission. She used to be very casual and relaxed when she was outside, but this time she became more restrained in her practice, and even deliberately wanted to express herself. Xia Xiao didn't want to fall in love with him, but he was afraid that he would be amorous, so he got up and walked to the door.

At the door, Ah Candle waited obediently, without sticking out his head and looking around. She knew what kind of girl Xia Xiao liked, so she tried to be that kind of person.

"Good evening. ”

Seeing Xia Xiao, Ah Candle's eyes brightened. Xia Xiao was like a match, igniting his anxious heart. Ah Candle also mustered up the courage to come here, and when he saw Xiaoran open the door before, his heart tightened, and he almost retreated. Seeing Xia Xiao, he was finally at ease.

"Come in. ”

Ah Candle had prepared a lot of words, but now that they had disappeared, he couldn't say a word. If this kind of thing really has to be played temporarily, it is useless to just imagine.

Embarrassed, nervous, heartbeat. Every time Ah Candle took a step, he felt that he was going to fall, the first time in his life, and he lacked experience. Ah Candle began to regret it, but if he found someone to practice beforehand, he would not be so embarrassed. Xia Xiao noticed that something was wrong with her, but she didn't break it, but just said:

"I usually run straight in, but today I don't forget to knock on the door, yes, there is progress. ”

"That's because the door is usually open, and when it's closed, of course you have to knock on the door. ”

Ah Candle didn't want to say that, but it was like an instinctive reaction. Xia Xiao didn't react much, sat in the living room, poured a cup of tea, and asked:

"What's the matter with me?"

"You're treated. ”

Ah Candle carried the basket and handed it to Xia Xiao.

"Food?"

"Open it and take a look. ”

Seeing that Ah Candle's eyes were full of stars, even if Xiao Ran didn't like her very much, he said to Xia Xiao:

"You talk, I'll go out for a walk. ”

Xia Xiao knew that Xiaoran was creating enough personal space for herself, so she didn't refuse. Xiaoran inherited Shu Shuang's will, and her style of doing things became more and more similar to her, no matter what grievances she had, she would put Xia Xiao in the first place. She and Shu Shuang will always be the kind of girls who will not be unreasonable.

Seeing Xiaoran leaving, Ah Candle breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a heart, chicken feet and peanuts, vegetable cakes and rice balls, all of which I like to eat. ”

"And the wine that Master gave. ”

Ah Candle helped Xia Xiao put these dishes on the low table, and suddenly felt timid when he lowered his head. Even if Xiaoran left, she still felt that she shouldn't say what was in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't even have to be a friend. In addition to her entanglement, Xia Xiao brought chopsticks and wine glasses, and had the comfort of a brother drinking together.

Pulling the corners of his skirt, the heart in Xia Xiao's chest was beating extremely fast. Taking the wine glass handed by Xia Xiao, Ah Candle frowned in frustration. This delicate little face became worried in the candlelight, and Xia Xiao smiled when he saw it, and couldn't help but say:

"If you have something, you will be sick for a while. ”

"It's hard to describe this kind of thing. ”

Xia Xiao raised his glass, and before Ah Candle touched it, he drank it in one gulp. She usually doesn't drink alcohol, but at this time, when she takes a sip, her mouth is extremely bitter, her throat is extremely spicy, and she doesn't say anything about it, and her stomach seems to flow a few drops of molten slurry. This fiery feeling made her arch her nose and grinned, which made Xia Xiao laugh for a while.

"It's like eating, drink it slowly. ”

"They all say that wine is intimidating, and I want to try it. ”

Ah Candle said, even though his face was red, he was still ready to pour wine. Xia Xiao didn't stop it, watching her drink another cup and coughing again and again. Xia Xiao picked up the chicken feet and patted Ah Candle on the back before he could take a bite.

"Something?"

"I don't know whether to say something in my heart or not. ”

"You're so prepared, say. ”

"I'm afraid. ”

"Really scared?"

Xia Xiao laughed at Ah Candle, when he gnawed on the chicken feet, half of his face illuminated by the candlelight was angular and handsome, exuding an indescribable brilliance. Time seemed to stop at this moment, Ah Candle looked at him, and suddenly became impulsive, no matter what the consequences of today, she had to say what was in her heart.

It is true that alcohol is strong and intimidating, it may be a psychological effect, or it may be alcohol, but Ah Candle was hot and grabbed Xia Xiao's wrist. Ah Candle sat on Xia Xiao's left, he looked at her, he didn't understand what she meant, just talk, what to do? But Ah Candle used all her courage, she looked at Xia Xiao's eyes, her brain was hot, and said:

"I like you. ”

The chicken claw on Xia Xiao's right hand was gnawed off three fingers, leaving only one side finger, and it stayed alone in the air, like a thumbs up. After Ah Candle finished speaking, her little face was flushed, her eyes dodged, and she wanted to find a crack to get into, but her courage ran out, and she no longer continued to stare at Xia Xiao's eyes.

It seems that Xia Xiao's hunch is right, but now he licked his mouth and gasped twice, because the chicken feet were a little spicy. Xia Xiao naturally doesn't hate Ah Candle, she is lively but principled, sandwiched between Shu Shuang and Shangshan, more like a real person worth loving. And she is also beautiful, and hard-working has a perfect embodiment in her. After being out on a mission for so long, there was very little to do, but he still had to refuse. The reason is hard to say.

"Ah Candle, I told you the story of the Day and Night Pattern, remember?"

"Remember, on the ship. ”

It was on the way from Yugu Haikou to the eastern shore of the Goulong Bang clan, because they were afraid of revealing their identities, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle stayed in the room all the time. Occasionally, when he was bored at dinner, Xia Xiao told this story. But Ah Candle remembered that Xia Xiao said that since Shu Shuang left, his night lines did not respond even if he urged, so why do you say this now?

"The day pattern appeared on Shang Shan's body. ”

Ah Candle was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, and there was a kind of loss that was difficult to hide when she lowered her eyes. She was busy for most of the day, and after waiting for so long, she didn't expect that the reason for the rejection was not Shu Shuang, but Shangshan.

Tugging at her skirt, Ah Candle's eyes were wet uncontrollably, and she looked at the ground, which was where the candlelight could not shine. This girl, who usually grins and giggles, can't be happy now. Her long chestnut hair was extremely charming in the candlelight, and her belt showed her slender willow-like ***, but it was useless, it was all in vain.

Ah Candle knew that the risk of success and failure was half and half, so she thought about what she would say after being rejected, but as before, she couldn't say anything now. Xia Xiao didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, but no matter how careless a person is, she will become extremely sensitive emotionally, who doesn't want to be loved?
