The key lay with his eyes closed for a while, listening to Dong Wusheng's breathing slowly become even and long after he yawned.

When the market outside gradually fell silent, the key opened his eyes and sat up, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, his eyes drooped, and his expression was a little depressed.

The orange cat moved in his arms, looking up and meowing softly at him.

The key touched its head, and when it raised its hand, the cuffs slipped off, revealing a ring of bruises on its wrists.

The orange cat saw it, grabbed the key's forearm with its two front paws, poked its head out, stretched out its pink tongue and licked it, and saw that the circle of scars disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow......"

The key sighed quietly, "That's amazing!"

The orange cat looked at her, blinked slowly, leaned her face up, and touched the tip of the key's nose with the tip of her nose, its belly pressed against the key's chest, a piece of heat.

The key wrapped its arms around the orange cat's arm tightened, and then quickly let go, looking a little more relaxed.

The key placed the orange cat on the bed beside him, and he reached into his sleeve, clutching the dagger in his sleeve, and slowly leaned over to Dong Wusheng.

Dong Wusheng was lying on his side with his back, the cold aroma she had brought with her when she first entered the room seemed to have basically dissipated, and in the air at this moment, the key did not smell any strange breath, only the cold dew in the middle of the night.

Looking at the bare neck, as cold as the moonlight, Key's fingers rubbed against the dagger in his sleeve, hesitating.

The dagger in his hand was given to him by a miscellaneous servant in the building, probably to see him pitiful, in addition to the dagger, he also told him that if he was forced to do something he didn't want to do, he could use the dagger to resist, but if he really stabbed down, then he must leave immediately and run to a place far, far away from here, preferably a place where no one knew him. Only then can you live and continue to live.

The key looked at the person lying quietly beside him, and felt that it was really difficult to live and continue to live.

Actually, the person next to him didn't force him to do anything...... But, if he doesn't have it today, won't he in the future?

If you really follow this person, what kind of life will you have in the future?

Although, he was really similar to the first person he saw when he opened his eyes...... But, even that person, didn't he leave him alone?

That person didn't actually promise that he would not leave him, or that he would come to him...... She had always wanted him to leave......

When he was first born, he recognized her as his mother, but now he knows that she is just a person who witnessed his birth.

He didn't have a loved one like the others in the building, whose blood was thicker than water.

He came into the world alone.

After that, I will probably have to walk alone.

Thinking of this, the key slowly raised his arm into the air, and the edge of the dagger was aimed at the soft neck below, and the tip of the knife kept trembling slightly, and it did not stab down for a long time.

As his arm trembled more and more, the man lying still under his knife rolled over, and the face exposed to the moonlight was exactly the same as the one he first saw when he opened his eyes.

The key hand trembled, and the dagger slipped from his palm and fell straight down, shaking countless cold rays in the moonlight.

Fortunately, before the tragedy, a pale and thin palm reached out and caught the dagger that had fallen by mistake.

When those bright red eyes opened in front of him, Key's mouth was slightly open, not knowing how to defend himself, so he could only shake his head weakly.

Dong Wusheng didn't seem to have woken up yet, squinting slightly, sleepy-eyed.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the dagger in her hand at the moonlight, and the key was surprised to see the corners of her mouth curl a little.

"There's still such a hand......"

Quite competent.

Not wanting to make any hints of encouragement in this regard, Dong Wusheng did not say the second half of the sentence.

"If you really stab this knife, it will only destroy yourself......"

Dong Wusheng put the dagger into his Qiankun bag, glanced at the key's blank eyes, silently picked the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "Forget it, anyway, it's better for children to stay away from this kind of thing...... It's confiscated. ”

She lazily raised her arm, patted him on the shoulder, and took him into her arms.

The key watched her make the dagger disappear out of thin air, blinked, hesitated, and leaned into her arms.

"I'm sorry for coming too late...... Sleep ......."

Dong Wusheng yawned lazily above his head, "If you want to take revenge on me, wait until you wake up tomorrow......"

Dong Wusheng's voice had weakened by this sentence, and in the end, there was almost only an inaudible breath left.

Dong Wusheng's embrace is not warm, with a deeper and heavier coolness, nor is it like the various people and horses that the key has come into contact with these days, with a strong or faint scent of fragrant powder. The breath on Dong Wusheng's body was like a faint smoke emitted by a charcoal fire in winter, mixed with a little smell of herbs, not to mention whether it smelled good or not, but it made the key feel at ease for the first time in so many days.

The orange cat also lay down on his side, curling itself up into a fluffy ball.

The key listened to the purr of the cat in his ear and slowly closed his eyes.

--

The next morning, the key and Dong Wusheng woke up almost at the same time.

It's not a reason for having a heart, the main thing is that Dong Wusheng moved away from the key as soon as he woke up, although the action was very light, but as soon as she left, the heat that the two of them had covered all night dispersed, and the key made the cold air that took advantage of the opportunity to freeze awake.

"When you wake up, get up and change your clothes. ”

Dong Wusheng put a set of ordinary cotton clothes at the head of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked down at him slightly.

The key rubbed his eyes, although he was sleepy-eyed, he still subconsciously showed a smile, "Okay!"

Dong Wusheng pulled the corners of his mouth, stood up, sat down at the table, and rinsed himself with a cup of tea.

The orange cat also jumped out of bed, ran to Dong Wusheng, and flipped her belly to be coquettish with her.

The key on the other side picked up the clothes that Dong Wusheng had prepared for him, scratched his face a little embarrassedly, looked up at Dong Wusheng, and stopped talking.

It's a girl's clothes, too......

Over the past few days, the key can be regarded as a little understanding of the difference between men and women in human beings.

Although he still didn't quite understand why he was mistaken for a girl.

The key looked at Dong Wusheng's light eyebrows when he lowered his eyes and drank tea, remembering that when he first came here, the old bustard's reaction after knowing that he was a boy, pursed his lips, still didn't say anything, silently changed his clothes and got out of bed.

The clothes are a little bigger, but you can wear them if you make do.

After changing his clothes and getting out of bed, the key also followed Dong Wusheng's example, and sat down at the table to rinse his mouth with tea.

After the key was finished, Dong Wusheng pushed a plate of pastries in front of him and asked him to eat something, then he took the cat out and began to feed his cat routinely.

The key watched her feed the cat while nibbling on the cake, and couldn't help but be a little envious when she saw Dong Wusheng's extraordinarily gentle eyes when he looked at his cat.

As soon as Dong Wusheng looked up, he saw such a look of the key, and he didn't react for a moment that the child in front of him was envious, thought about it, changed the cake used to feed the cat and the key in front of him, lowered his head and continued to feed the cat.

After the key was eaten, Dong Wusheng put the cat back in her pocket, leaving only an orange cat that was coquettish with the key outside, and got up to leave.
