Chapter 5: Reunion, Waiting

When night falls, the full moon rises into the sky, but in the eyes of those who walk in some darkness, the moon is red.

Under the bright moonlight, there was the coolness and danger of a summer night.

In the noisy bar, people kept pushing the door in and out, Jiang Yuanxi followed Lan Xi out of the bar and returned to the boat along the same road, but met an uninvited guest on the wide long street halfway through.

Or for him, these few people in front of him are real uninvited guests.

Scarlet eyes were greedy and crazy after being stimulated by blood, and at the feet of the handsome man lay a girl in a coarse cloth dress, blood flowing from her neck, and the corners of the man's mouth were dyed the same color.

The man who had just sucked the delicious blood did not stop there, but grinned in surprise, but it was a kind of excitement to see the prey, although the girl's blood was delicious, it was not much inferior to the girl opposite.

He could even smell an extreme aroma, which came from the girl who was protected by the two teenagers.

"It's ...... "Lan Xi had never met such a person before, he had only heard of it, but when he really witnessed such a bloody scene, he only felt his stomach churning.

"Hmm. ”

Li Xiangqing nodded, subconsciously protected the girl behind him, and the apocalypse in his hand was gradually clenched, and he could draw his sword almost at any time.

Xiyue Ghost, the ethnic group that once had cholera in Li Qing, but now there is no Fengbo Pavilion, no Tao Zi Kite, only he Li Xiangqing is still there.

Last time, he didn't guard the country, but this time, he must protect the girl behind him.

The eyes are slightly cold, the moonlight is hazy, and the two men are ready to catch the moment that can almost be called a showdown.

Suddenly, the Xiyue ghost on the opposite side took a step first, grasping the gap that Lan Xi was negligent because of the discomfort in his stomach, and rushed straight from the middle, his hand had almost pulled the girl's shoulder, and the next moment there was a pain in his abdomen, and the whole person flew backwards, and there was still a red strip of cloth in his hand.

The girl glanced at her somewhat cool shoulders, her fair skin was exposed to the cold moonlight outside, which actually made the moonlight lose its color.

Fortunately, I was not injured in the end.

Li Xiangqing retracted his gaze and explained to Lan Xi next to him, "Protect her." ”

As he spoke, he rushed to the Xiyue Ghost who had just stood up, and the Apocalypse in his hand pulled out and slashed straight at the Xiyue Ghost.

The power of the guardian is given by the apocalypse, and unlike the power that the human gods can't figure out, the power of the guardian is very simple and powerful, at least in the human world, it is an existence that can surpass most people. Just like Chen Yan in the past, and the green knife who wanted Tao Xi to pay for his life, they were all outstanding people.

However, ability is not achieved overnight, and he needs a constant run-in between the sword and the master, so that he can combine the power of the apocalypse with the power of the human and become the most powerful warrior.

Facing the moonlit apocalypse with a quiet blue light, the man hurriedly stepped back, but the corners of his clothes were still cut off, and the black suit flew to the corners and moved with the wind.

The man glanced at his clothes, gritted his teeth with hatred, scolded secretly, looked at the sharp blade in the hand of the young man who was chasing him, and turned around and fled without hesitation, Li Xiangqing frowned, and did not chase after him, because he cared more about girls.

Jiang Yuanxi tilted his head, watched Li Xiangqing put away his sword and walked over, and said suspiciously, "Why don't you chase him." ”

Li Xiangqing said, "The person I want to protect is you." ”

Lan Xi glanced at him and didn't say anything, but Jiang Yuanxi thought about it, and couldn't help frowning between his eyebrows, "He just left, will many people die?"

Li Xiangqing nodded, very calm.

Jiang Yuanxi hesitated slightly, and then said, "But I like the wine here, if the people here die, will there still be wine?"

Lan Xi looked at this girl with a brain circuit that was not ordinary Qingqi in surprise, and the next moment she heard Li Xiangqing speak, "There should be." ”

Jiang Yuanxi looked a little unhappy, and seemed to feel that Li Xiangqing was too reluctant. She was afraid that she really wouldn't be able to taste the kind of good-tasting wine that Lan Xi said, so she should be very sorry.

"What if I want to catch that Xiyue ghost?" Jiang Yuanxi asked.

Li Xiangqing curled his lips, "First of all, I have to ensure your safety, and secondly, I will catch that Xiyue ghost." ”

Jiang Yuanxi shook his head, "Lan Xi can protect me, and so can Changle." ”

Lan Xi, who was trying to reduce his sense of presence when the boys and girls were talking, was suddenly clicked at this moment, and he was a little flattered and saw some signs at the same time.

This man and woman may not be such a simple relationship as brother and sister.

As for the dispute between the two people that didn't look like an argument, Lan Xi pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending that he didn't hear it.

An invisible stalemate permeated the two people, and suddenly Li Xiangqing looked at the eyes that did not understand the world, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was called Jiang Yuanxi, not Tao Xi, who was rescued by himself in the snowy night.

He is the guardian, she is the human god, and this life is destined to be an unbreakable constraint from the very beginning.

Li Xiangqing retracted his gaze, "I'll go now." Lan Xi, please send her back to the ship. ”

Lan Xi nodded in response, and the corners of his white clothes quickly disappeared in the darkness, but just as Lan Xi was about to leave with the girl, a circle of soldiers with guns surrounded him at some point, surrounding the two in the middle.

Out of a young man, white suit, black eyes, looking at the girl's gaze chuckled with the gentleness that should not have been,

"You were arrested on suspicion of killing Jane Dawson, and now the police officers in Philo City are going to arrest you and put you in jail. ”

Lan Xi took the girl's hand and was about to rush out, but she heard the girl whisper, "Did I see you somewhere?"

The man in the white suit was still smiling, but his eyes were not filled with the excitement of the police officer arresting the prisoner, but with a more gentle color, "If you've ever been to Philo City, maybe you've seen me." If you haven't been here, you've mistaken someone. My name is DeWitt and I'm the mayor of Philo City. ”

Jiang Yuanxi looked at the face that she was very sure she had never seen since she came out of Biluohai, but her heart or subconscious clearly told her that it was someone she had seen before, and it had a very wonderful fate.

She broke away from Lan Xi's hand, but strangely the young man was powerless to resist at all, she walked up to the man, slowly stretched out her hand, raised her head, and stroked the man's cheek.

The guards who didn't get the order didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only trap the young man on the side, Lan Xi was anxious in his heart, the girl refused his help, but if he waited here, he was waiting for death.

But if the girl is left alone, how will he face his heart.

Under the struggle, Lan Xi didn't dare to act rashly after all, so she could only protect the girl's back and prevent those guards from hurting her.

But he secretly complained in his heart, he should have left Li Xiangqing behind just now.

The man named DeWitt waited patiently for the girl to approach, and even when she stretched out her hand, he didn't stop it, but felt her tentative, trying to remember the gentle touch.

Tears slipped from the corners of the girl's eyes, and at that moment a voice in her heart was telling her,

"Am I owed you anything?"

DeWitt blinked, endured the sourness in his eyes, and denied it in a gentle voice,

"Nope. ”

What you owe me has already been paid off at the last moment.

Jiang Yuanxi was puzzled, she only felt a very sad feeling in her heart, the kind of bitterness that was soaked in tears.

The guard behind him didn't dare to speak out, and he felt that the airborne mayor of the Leo family had a lot of relationship with this girl more than arresting people.

DeWitt tried not to look at the sadness in the girl's eyes, his eyes fell on the young man behind her, and he curled his lips and smiled, "Pirate, Lan Xi, it's a great achievement to catch you." ”

As he spoke, DeWitt waved his hand, and the guards behind him swarmed up and arrested Lan Xi, who was afraid to do anything because of his scruples.

The moment the handcuffs were handcuffed, Lan Xi couldn't cry or laugh, and the girl looked like she hadn't noticed anything.

It's just that when Lan Xi was thrown into prison in the end, he didn't see the shadow of the girl.

Jiang Yuanxi was taken to another place, an apartment with a vegetable garden.

The apartment is a one- and two-story building, and the red and white walls climb with green creeper branches and foliage, which shrouds the entire outside of the apartment.

The man took the girl to a room at the end of the second floor, the room was strangely arranged, compared to the sofa and glass coffee table on the first floor, which were in the same architectural style as the city of Philo, except for the general appearance, all the furniture was wooden, the door was facing the window, and next to the windowsill was a clear mirror inlaid in dark red wood, which was the dresser.

A small wooden stool, a wooden coffee table in the middle, a bed next to the wall, and a blue indigo brocade quilt embroidered with a phoenix is a very soft and beautiful satin.

On the other side, there was a whole bookshelf on the other side, Jiang Yuanxi reached out and picked up one, opened it and found that the text inside was not the font that can be seen everywhere in Philo City, but another kind of square word.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at those inexplicably familiar fonts and indulged in them, she felt that behind these words there was a story that she was very familiar with, and even experienced herself.

Perhaps, it was a dream she had forgotten before waking up by the river.

But what the girl didn't know was that while she was stroking those words, the man behind her looked at her gently, more warm and gentle than before.

He had been waiting here, waiting for her to pass by, waiting to be reunited with her.

The black eyes in the dark night light lost a trace of charming blood, not dangerous, but uniquely beautiful.

"Do you like it?"

DeWitt asked softly.

Jiang Yuanxi turned his head, his confusion receded, and he finally smiled a little, "You don't know me, so why did you bring me here? Moreover, if you don't know me, why is only the room here different from everything else?"

DeWitt was slightly stunned, but then there was a burst of relief, as if the person in front of him should be so smart, even if she had forgotten the past.

"Some people are already soulmates just by looking at each other, and some people are still strangers even if they look at each other all day long. Lan Xi is a pirate, Jane won't be killed by you, so you're just a kid and deserve the mercy you deserve. ”

Jiang Yuanxi felt that this explanation was barely acceptable, but there was still something wrong. However, she could feel the kindness that came from this man.

"Thanks, I...... Loved it. ”

DeWitt curled his lips, "Your cat is cute, what's its name?"

Jiang Yuanxi lowered his head and rubbed the top of Changle's hair, "His name is Changle, I picked him up, do you want to hug him?"

DeWitt's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very happy, "It's an honor." ”

Jiang Yuanxi handed over Changle in his arms to De Witt, I don't know why Changle was unusually obedient, and he didn't have the kind of resistance when facing Lan Xi for a while, Jiang Yuanxi looked at him unexpectedly, the latter met her gaze and said with a smile, "There are clothes in the cabinet, you can change them after taking a bath, if you need to, I can find someone to help you change them." Take you to a place in a moment. ”

"Do what?"

"Eat what you like. DeWitt turned around as he said and went out with the Changle in his arms, Jiang Yuanxi wondered, how did that person know what he liked?

But she walked to the closet, and the moment she opened it, her eyes lit up, but her eyes fell on a black and white women's suit.

————

Bathing, changing clothes, changing into new clothes and walking out of the door, the housekeeper in the apartment intimately arranged the collar of her white shirt for her, Jiang Yuanxi smiled to express her gratitude.

Downstairs, DeWitt sat on the white sofa by the window with the cat in his arms, the person's side face was particularly handsome under the soft light, his slender and straight legs were folded, one hand was holding his jaw and looking out of the window, and one hand was holding Changle on his lap.

His grace, his solitude, his grace, his pride, are all stunning and fascinating.

Xu was aware of the girl's scrutiny, and DeWitt looked in the direction of the stairs, but when he saw the girl's clothes, he couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Yuanxi walked over and twisted his eyebrows slightly, and DeWitt smiled, "It's not too surprising, it's very suitable for you." ”

Jiang Yuanxi said persistently, "But there are no children in your family who are the same age as me. ”

DeWitt smiled, "I have a distant relative who comes here every year for a vacation, and this year I can just wear clothes of this size, but she hasn't come yet, and you're one step ahead." ”

"I don't like to rob other people's stuff. Saying that, Jiang Yuanxi turned around and was about to go upstairs, the housekeeper was slightly surprised, but DeWitt, who was sitting on the sofa, came behind the girl in the next moment, grabbed her wrist, and patiently explained after she looked back, "Clothes can be made again, and she ...... this year"

Before DeWitt finished his words, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he changed his words, "If I say that these are for you, do you believe it?"

If it is for someone else's preparation, with her temperament, she will feel guilty even if she borrows it, which was the case in the past, and it is now.

Jiang Yuanxi nodded without hesitation, "I believe it." ”
