In the middle of the night, the city fell silent again, with no heavy rain, no flickering streetlights, no monster roars – it was calm again.

The lights in the apartment building are sporadic and one of them is Gu Lichuan's bedroom.

"Why not?" Ying Lan sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, looking at Gu Lichuan who was laying sheets on the floor, with a puzzled expression.

"What's the reason, we can't sleep in the same bed anyway. Gu Lichuan tossed hard, with the expression of a righteous gentleman and gentleman, and the instigation and complaining of Yintong in his heart, it looked very ironic.

"It's funny, but I don't think so. Regarding Gu Lichuan's upright performance, Yintong expressed indifference, "What's wrong with sleeping with a girl, didn't you also sleep with Rita at the beginning, didn't you also do nothing? ”

"Then I'll sleep on the floor. Ying Lan leaned out of the bed with her upper body, trying to pounce on the sheets.

"Oops," Gu Lichuan stopped her and pushed her back to the bed, "How can you let a girl sleep on the floor." ”

"Hmm......" Ying Lan retracted and sat cross-legged on the bed, falling into an inexplicable silence.

What is this guy thinking? Gu Lichuan looked at Ying Lan, who fell into silence, for fear that this seemingly cold but actually cute girl would do something earth-shattering.

"By the way," Ying Lan suddenly raised her head, with a look of great wisdom, and almost a light bulb popped out of her head, "What about your good tenant? Didn't he come back, why don't you sleep in his house first?"

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the room.

"My God, you really deserve to be a person from a special organization, and you can think about problems in such a way. Gu Lichuan half opened his mouth, looking confused. After expressing his worship, he slowly got up, and with a resentment that his IQ was ridiculed, he slowly walked towards Wang Lu's house, leaving behind him Yinglan, who was sitting on the bed with a tablet in his hand and ready to watch a romance drama.

On the edge of a dark city, in the alley where Gu Lichuan first encountered a monster, a figure was silently leaning against the wall, holding a small instrument in his hand, like a liaison.

"It's me," the tall figure said in a charming voice, giving a sense of mystery that wanted to be approached but seemed out of reach, "I've disposed of that thing's body without alarming anyone." ”

"Did you find her?" a vicissitudes of voice came from the contact.

"Hmm...... Temporarily...... Not yet. ”

"You lie to me, don't I know what you kid thinks?"

"Hahaha, I've really lost to you," the voice suddenly let out a helpless laugh, "but boss, let's give the female team members a vacation once in a while." ”

"I'm afraid of getting out of here. ”

"It's all right," the dark figure slowly walked out of the alley, and the dim light illuminated his appearance—a young man in his twenties, with a tall figure, a handsome face with a relaxed expression, a sly fox on his face, and a slightly gloomy smile, "When she has had enough, I will naturally wipe out the useless things." ”

The door of Wang Lu's bedroom was slowly pushed open, and a glimmer of light from the living room came in, Gu Lichuan stretched out his hand to turn on the light and walked in.

Wang Lu's bedroom furnishings are very simple, a writing desk, a stool, a bed, a computer, and a wardrobe. Nothing else.

"This guy, where did he go? Shouldn't you go to recruit bees and butterflies......" Compared to useless things like room design, Gu Lichuan was obviously more worried about Wang Lu's safety.

"I'm sorry old roommate, I have to sleep in your bed tonight, don't dislike me. Gu Lichuan was talking to himself while lying on Wang Lu's bed.

With a snap, the lights were turned off, and the room was dark again, "There is a switch at the head of the bed, isn't this the design of the hotel?" Gu Lichuan closed his eyes, and his mind was still the appearance of Ying Lan and the monster's roaring expression when he appeared yesterday. "...... Lan Lan" muttered her name, Gu Lichuan's head was heavy, listening to the sound of the "click" clock, and soon fell asleep.

"Lechuan," a gentle call appeared in Gu Lichuan's mind, a light seemed to appear in front of him, Gu Lichuan slowly opened his eyes, the sky and the earth were silver blue, and a figure was facing away from him, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and his body exuded an orange-yellow soft light, shining like a sunset.

"Huh?" Gu Lichuan frowned and looked at the figure in the distance, and a sense of familiarity arose in his heart.

The figure slowly got closer, the brilliance dissipated, and the figure gradually became clearer. Turning around slowly, a graceful woman floating in the void appeared in front of him, dignified and beautiful, but also a little stranger.

Without any warning, Gu Lichuan's left eye, the silver pupil suddenly erupted, and the silver flash and the silver-blue sky reflected each other, becoming one. "Uh!!" Gu Lichuan covered his left eye in surprise, but he couldn't restrain the silver rush rushing towards all directions like a torrent, and the light gradually enveloped Gu Lichuan and the woman in front of him.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and slowly stretched out her hand to Gu Lichuan.

"Unstoppable and unavoidable, this is the so-called 'fate'. ”

With these last words, Gu Lichuan's world turned into pure white.

"Gu Lichuan. Feeling a slight shaking, Gu Lichuan slowly opened his eyes, Wang Lu's room was brightly lit, and Ying Lan was standing on the edge of the bed, wearing a bear pajamas, shaking him while approaching his face, through those eyes, Gu Lichuan seemed to be able to see the strange soul in her charming eyes. Her face was crystal clear in the light, and even if she looked at it from close range, she couldn't find any flaws, so to speak, almost perfect.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Gu Lichuan tried to open his eyes and sit up, hoping to be sober to deal with Ying Lan's various requests. The dream just now, like a bubble, disappeared into the air with a snap, and no trace could be found.

"I can't sleep.

"Don't you have a tablet?"

"It's boring. ”

"And what do you want to do?"

"I want to play with the guitar on your wall. ”

Hearing the guitar, Gu Lichuan's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes flickered, but he finally agreed.

Slowly taking the guitar off the wall, Gu Lichuan looked at it carefully, although it was hung on the wall, there was not a single trace of dust on the guitar, just like it would be used every day.

"Do you know how to play?" said Yinglan, sitting on the bed and looking at him.

"It's going to be a song. ”

Sitting on the floor, Gu Lichuan gently swept the strings, and the guitar sound was calm and rustic, not cheerful or jumping, a bit similar to the faint country folk songs of the United States. Ying Lan sat on the side, tilted her head, closed her eyes lightly, nodded along with the melody, and slowly hummed the lyrics, and there seemed to be something invisible flowing slowly in the room, like a stream flowing slowly through a wheat field, undisturbed.

"You can also sing this song?" At the end of the song, Gu Lichuan looked up at Ying Lan who was sitting on the bed.

"Someone has taught me this song before. Ying Lan raised her brows, as if she was reminiscing about the old man.

"Boyfriend?"

"What a joke, it's just my friend. Yinglan's face was in defense, but her voice was faint.

Gu Lichuan frowned and looked at her with a smile.

"Then how did you know this song?" Coming back to her senses, Ying Lan looked at Gu Lichuan with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, the relaxed look on Gu Wangchuan's face disappeared suddenly. He lowered his head and gently touched the strings of his guitar.

"This is what my ex-girlfriend taught me. ”

"Ex-girlfriend, did she break up with you?" said Ying Lan curiously.

"No, she died, just a few days ago. Gu Lichuan's eyes instantly fell into an indescribable gloom, showing a deathly gloomy.

"......" looked at his pale brown hair in silence, and Ying Lan frowned. Slowly got down from the bed and sat down beside Gu Lichuan. Then there was silence in the room.

"She's a very good girl, isn't she?" Ying Lan, who was sitting on Gu Lichuan's side, broke the silence.

"It's beautiful, it's elegant, it's stupid, it's never quiet. The corners of Gu Lichuan's mouth rose slightly, and a pair of blue eyes as clear as jewels and long yellow and curled hair slowly appeared in front of him.

"Guess it too. Ying Lan smiled and looked down at the bear pajamas on her body.

"She's still a half-breed. ”

"Can you catch this up?"

"I'm not that bad. Gu Lichuan laughed helplessly.

Once again, the room fell silent.

Ying Lan looked at the guitar in Gu Lichuan's arms and stretched out her hand. "Can you show me?"

"Absolutely. Gu Lichuan handed her the guitar.

Lan straightened her guitar, and her hands slowly showed that warm orange light. The light flowed slowly, slowly wrapping around every string of the guitar.

"This is ......" Gu Lichuan looked at the warm light in Ying Lan's hand, and his mind flashed back to the situation when she picked up the water blade and when she healed his wounds.

Gently tapping the strings, with a slight vibration of the strings, orange-yellow points of light escaped from the guitar strings like fireflies, fluttering around in Gu Lichuan's room. At the same time, beautiful notes flutter between the points of light, like a prelude to a tapping on the table. Gu Lichuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the beautiful points of light in the room, he had never seen this kind of scene, and maybe he would never see it again in this life. With the tune, Ying Lan closed her eyes slightly, opened her lips lightly, and the gentle sound like a cloud drifted through the room with the sound of the guitar, and the points of light began to beat slowly and rhythmically.

“If I walk would you run

If I stop would you come

If I say you're the one

Would you believe me

If I ask you to stay

Would you show me the way......”

In the little light, Gu Lichuan looked at Yinglan, and there was a sense of déjà vu that nothing had changed in front of him. Just like before, he sat on the floor with Rita in the middle of the night, playing and singing lightly, and a lot of happiness could be brewed in a quiet day.

Ying Lan sang while opening her eyes to look at Gu Lichuan, in an instant, the two of them made eye contact, in the halo, the relief and sadness in Gu Lichuan's eyes were read by her clearly, his smiling look touched her heart slightly, so she quickly turned around and closed her eyes, but his eyes as transparent as a lake could not be dispersed in her mind for a long time.

“If I say you're the one

Would you believe me？”

We just want a quiet night.

A spacious hall with bright lights. At the end of the long conference table, a man was facing away from the door, looking silently out into the night through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows.

At the other end of the conference table sat a young man with blond hair, dressed in the same black suit as Yinglan. He propped his head in his hands and looked at the rapidly spinning coins on the table, his face expressionless.

"Ying Lan hasn't come back yet," the man turned, and the cold white light of the hall reflected his tall figure and resolute face—few middle-aged men could maintain such a good figure, and even in formal attire, his broad shoulders and thick arms could be seen. The beard has a slight bluish stubble, giving it a rugged look. Although bold, what exudes from the man's body is the seriousness, integrity, and majesty of a leader, "Xingchen, aren't you in a hurry?"

The young man known as "Xingchen" didn't raise his face: "Anyway, the white fox has already gone to do this, aren't you still at ease?"

"That being said, and the White Fox has indeed found her, I have a feeling that things are not going to be easy. ”

"Are you afraid that the white fox will not do things properly? Although it is true that the white fur has no dignity or personality to speak of—he is not a person who will joke about tasks. Besides, if you really hadn't been killed by the white fox, it would have been good if you had recruited it. With a bang, the coin stopped spinning and lay down on the table.

"Don't worry about that anymore," Xingchen got up and walked towards the exit of the hall, leaving a dark figure, "It's useless to worry. With that, he disappeared into the shadows.

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly: "This guy is not worried about their safety at all. ”

With that, he looked at the coin at the end of the long table, the side with the dragon's head printed on it was facing up, and the dragon in the coin was roaring on its back to the sky.

"I'm looking forward to it, the key. ”
