CHAPTER XVII

Her dark eyes were gray, as if covered with a layer of haze, and she didn't really cry out, and her eyelashes fluttered lightly to cover a shadow under her eyelids, which also showed her inner hesitation and uneasiness.

He didn't speak for a long time, and Zhou Fangzun didn't urge.

Until-

"Hmm."

Su Su nodded invisibly, confessed and relieved, "I know." ”

She heard the man beside her sigh for a long time, but she didn't dare to turn her head to look at his expression, followed by the sound of Sisuo, like the sound of paper rubbing, Zhou Fangzun didn't speak again, so long that Su Su thought he would leave her like this.

The warm palm was over her head again.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Fangzun said as he stuffed back the cigarette caught in his fingertips.

His addiction to smoking is very strict, but he has never smoked in front of her and Anna, even if he is upset now, he has not lit it, which is a little obsession that belongs to Zhou Fangzun.

There is a feeling that is so strong that it is almost full......

Before returning to reason, Su Su had already thrown herself into Zhou Fangzun's arms.

No longer caring about any reserve and etiquette, holding the man's clothes tightly, Su Su was much shorter than Zhou Fangzun, bowing his head just and completely buried in his chest, and the dampness and heat quickly spread on the thin fabric.

Zhou Fangzun was a little caught off guard, he looked up at the sky, there was nothing empty in his eyes, and finally slowly reached out and patted Su Su's back gently, the hand passed through the girl's soft long hair, and fell on the body extremely warm, clean and pure.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

His voice was low and gentle, like a calm adult comforting a little girl who had accidentally lost her way.

Su Su tugged at his clothes tighter.

"But—"

The tone became intense, "But the hardest person is obviously respectful!" ”

Zhou Fangzun paused, bent down and put his head on Su Su's shoulder, and the voice lingering in his ears became clearer and clearer: "It's going to get better, didn't you just say it, huh?" ”

“…… Well. Su Su couldn't refuse.

Zhou Fangzun seemed to be extremely tired, and slowly closed his eyes in this position: "Let me lean a little longer." ”

A steady heartbeat and a long breath permeate the pervasiveness.

Su Su finally nodded indulgently: "Hmm." And he said, "If you want to smoke...... It's okay, I don't mind. ”

"Huh?" The man spoke slowly, "No need, that's fine." ”

I don't know how long it took for the two to maintain this position, Zhou Fangzun got up, and insisted on sending her back no matter how Su Su refused.

Su Su finally made up her mind: "Then can you take the path?" I want to tell you everything I know. ”

Zhou Fangzun glanced at her: "Don't be reluctant." ”

"Not reluctantly." Su Su was so anxious that he pulled Zhou Fangzun's hand, "Please let me sue you." ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Fangzun didn't look for a path, but picked an open space: "It's inconvenient to say while walking, let's just be here." ”

Su Su nodded and said straight to the point: "-I know the first ...... of Zun Cut. "It's a lifetime.

Zhou Fangzun looked at her and motioned to continue.

This is the first time since Su Su crossed over that he has said all of his words so frankly and recklessly in front of someone, but if this person is "Zhou Fangzun...... You can be trusted, right?

-- Because he's Zhou Fangzun.

Although she still concealed a lot, including the existence of this world and her particularity, she only told Zhou Fangzun about her life, the man listened very carefully, did not ask questions or interject, and in the end Su Su couldn't go on-

"I'm going to die, am I?"

His tone was unusually flat, as if he had expected it.

Su Su nodded with difficulty.

Zhou Fangzun smiled rarely: "Thank you." He hooked the corners of his lips, distanced himself from Su Su, and suddenly said, "You should know the composition of this world, so do you want to see my sword, Su Su?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Fangzun maintained a standing posture, looking at Su Su's expression with a rare gentleness, a giant sword was revealed in the sky, glowing with the same red as Zhou Fangzun, Su Su couldn't describe it in words, he could only watch quietly and reverently.

Zhou Fangzun didn't raise his head, and said with a smile: "I became like this unconsciously, it's ugly, isn't it?" ”

-- It's not pretty.

This giant sword, which should have been majestic, was full of rust, some of which had drifted away from the sword itself, and with some kind of force as the traction, it never left, and the whole sword hung above Zhou Fangzun's head.

It is not only a symbol of strength, but also seems to fall at any time.

This is the final judgment of the sword against the wielder!

Su Su vaguely guessed something, but kept shaking his head.

Zhou Fangzun's expression was still a little careless, but more of a sentiment that even Su Su couldn't discern, and his amber eyes swept over with a smile: "Occasionally I wonder if the rusty sword is still necessary to save - the answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no, and gradually even I can't figure it out myself." Su Su, what do you think of it after seeing it? ”

Su Su raised his head, his eyes did not leave the sword as if worshipping, as if he was pondering, and it took a long time to look down at Zhou Fangzun in front of him.

The answer is... Not really. ”

- There is no need for a rusty sword. The essence of the sword is to use, and if the use of it still does not bring victory to the bearer, it is time to throw it away and replace it with a new one. New swords are always emerging.

Su Su laughed and approached Zhou Fangzun step by step: "But things that have been used for a long time will always have feelings, some swords have rusted for a long time and can't continue to fight, but you can still keep it for collection - the master cherishes it so much, even if it is rusty, he will wipe it every day, thinking of the days when he fought side by side with it." ”

Su Su's smile became more and more gentle, and the brightest stars couldn't match those eyes, "What's more...... It's people! ”

How can a person just give it up?

Zhou Fangzun looked at Su Su slowly, as if he was thinking about measuring.

Su Su finally couldn't control it, and ran to Zhou Fangzun as fast as he could in his life, no longer getting into his arms, but hugging him with his arms and warming him with his body temperature.

"So......" wanted to laugh, but his voice was crying, "please don't die." ”

――Don't die, don't die, don't die, don't die...... Because I really like you.

Zhou Fangzun, as he was, stretched out his hand to rub Su Su's head.

"Hmm. I try my best. ”

Su Su's tone was unprecedentedly intense, and she even pounded Zhou Fangzun's chest hard, which was completely different from the previous well-behaved, and could be called crying and making trouble: "It's not enough to try anything!" If Zun is gone, what will happen to everyone else in the Vedua? Don't be so selfish and leave everyone else alone, bastard! ”

Zhou Fangzun let her vent, and when Su Su was tired, he bent down and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

"Okay, I'm not, I promise."

“…… Well. Don't lie to me. ”

Zhou Fangzun smiled: "Is my credibility so low?" ”

Zhou Fangzun encountered another accident on the way back to send Su Su, and there seemed to be news from Vedic Wuluo's side, and the situation was urgent and asked him to go back immediately!

Zhou Fangzun looked at Su Su: "Come with me?" ”

Su Su looked back on his memory, and still shook his head: "I don't have this part of the matter in my mind, if something happens to me when I arrive, Zun will definitely be distracted to protect me, but it will be in the way...... It's not far from Scepter4 anyway, so I can go back by myself, or find a place to sit for a while and contact them to pick me up. ”

"It's going to be okay with me." Zhou Fangzun assured, "You are not a burden, Su Su." ”

Su Su still shook his head and pushed Zhou Fangzun.

"Hurry up, don't waste time with me here." She stood quietly, tilting her head and smiling, "Please come back intact, Zun." ”

- I'll be waiting for you.

"Then be careful yourself."

Zhou Fangzun took one last look at her, turned around, and ran forward without looking back, hunting into the wind.

When the figure disappeared completely, Su Su also turned around and walked towards a crowded place.

The location of Scepter4 is a bit off, Su Shu didn't go back by herself, but chose to find a regular place to sit with a lot of people, and sent those people to locate them, hoping that someone who happened to be on a mission nearby could take her for a ride.

Su Su entered a café, not wanting that there was no vacancy inside, she looked around, and finally found a place by the window, which could be seen at a glance, and there was a little boy opposite.

Su Su bent down and tapped lightly on the table: "Is there anyone here?" ”

The man played intently and didn't look up: "No." ”

Su Su smiled at him, didn't look at the terminal screen, and thanked him again, and then sat down opposite him.

I have received a message from Akiyama Bingdu, saying that it will arrive within half an hour.

Su Shu calmed down, ordered a cup of coffee, and watched the people coming and going outside the window, comparing the subtle differences between memory and reality-

In Qingqing's narrative, the ten bundles died directly, and there was no missing link, and now there is a slight deviation in the development of things, such as the butterfly effect, which cannot be said will affect the entire ending.

Then no one has to die.

――In the early stage, Shishu is still alive and well in a corner and may be rescued.

Hope you're well.

Su Su was still a little calm, and glanced back at the game that the boy was still focusing on, remembering that a few days ago, Daoming Temple was afraid that she would be bored, so they played several games for her in the terminal.

opened it, Zhou Fangzun didn't send her a message, Su Su said "peace" in his heart, turned down his voice to the minimum, clicked on a game, and tried to play.

She didn't have much talent for playing games, and now she still has something on her mind, and the game characters have been manipulated by her and have died several times.

It's really pitiful, Su Su doesn't plan to continue playing.

Raising his head, the boy opposite stopped the game at some point, and looked at her with one hand on his head, casual and serious.

Su Su didn't have time to ask.

The corners of the man's lips curled, and the clear green eyes reflecting her reflection were a little harsh.

"Ahhh
