It didn't take long for them to settle the two boxes of Italian cheesecakes, and everyone sat down for a while before going back to their rooms

After 1 a.m., Xue couldn't sleep and came to the rooftop to blow the wind

A voice sounded behind him, "Can't sleep? ”

Xue turned her head to look at Nangong Muchen behind her, her eyes flickered a little, and she was quickly covered up, and said lightly, "Hmm"

Chen stared at the snow deeply, his tone was still calm, but there was also a hint of worry, "Be careful tomorrow, stay in my sight all the time, okay?" ”

"Tatsu, it's not worth it" Xue pursed her lips

Chen blinked, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, "It's not worth it", then paused, and asked casually, "Do you know why I have never shown my heart to you for so many years?" ”

Snow lowered her eyes and was silent

"Because I know that you never give me a chance to get close to you" Tatsumi stared at the snow, not knowing whether to see the expression on her face or ............

Tatsuna's gaze slowly became distant, as if returning to the scene where he and Yuki first met

That year, he was eight years old and she was five

He was adopted from an orphanage, and he was the first person in Yu's group of friends who had been trained by the old man, simply called the killer, which was not known to anyone except Xue and her brother, Yu and none of them knew, the old man sent him to Xue's side to protect her at all costs, the first time he went to Xue's house, he saw a pink and carved little girl sitting on Qianqiu, that was the first time he saw such a beautiful and innocent smile, he was trained since he was a child, and he felt warmth for the first time in the dark world

"Huh? Who are you, and why are you in my house? Xiao Ruoxue saw a boy standing not far away, got off the swing and ran over with small steps

After Xiao Muchen came back to his senses, he looked calm and did not belong to his age, and said, "My name is Muchen"

Xiao Ruoxue tilted her little head, looked at the boy with big wet eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Mu Chen!" Hello, my name is Leng Ruoxue, you are very good-looking, but you are still not as good-looking as my brother! ”

In Xiao Ruoxue's heart, her brother is the best, and everyone she sees will praise her brother

Mu Chen lowered his eyes and his ears were a little red, it was the first time that a girl had praised him so blatantly for his good looks

Xiao Ruoxue blinked, her lips squirmed and she was about to speak, her eyes saw Mu Chen's back, grinned, and ran over with her little short legs and threw herself into the arms of the person who came, "Brother!" You're back! ”

Mu Chen turned his head to look and saw the person's appearance, his eyes flickered, and then returned to normal

Yes, the person who came was Leng Ruoyu, he had a fair complexion, an open face, a touch of handsomeness in his facial features, and a touch of gentleness in his handsomeness! The temperament exuded by him is so complex, like a mixture of various temperaments, but in those gentleness and handsomeness, there is his own unique ethereal and handsome! With a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness, such a perfect boy looked at the little girl in his arms with doting eyes at the moment, "Xue'er, do you miss my brother?"

Xiao Ruoxue nodded vigorously, and by the way, she kissed Ruoyu fiercely on the face, "Let's chirp!" ”

Ruoyu smiled gently, his gentleness only belonged to the girl in his arms, picked up Ruoxue, walked to Mu Chen's face, looked carefully, and hooked the corner of his lips, "You are grandpa's person, let's go, Mom and Dad are waiting for you in the living room"

Mu Chen just nodded silently and followed behind Ruoyu, and Ruoxue in his arms immediately obediently did not speak as long as he stayed in Ruoyu's arms

in the living room

"I know, when we are not here in the future, Xue'er's safety will be handed over to you" Leng Aotian nodded clearly after listening to Mu Chen's words

"Yes," Mu Chen replied

"In the future, you will call Nangong Muchen" Xiao Yuqing touched Mu Chen's head on the side, and her beautiful face showed a gentle smile

Mu Chen was a little dazed, didn't ask the reason, just nodded obediently

Seeing Mu Chen's rigid appearance, Xiao Ruoxue pursed her lips, and her small movements were discovered by Ruoyu, Ruoyu smiled helplessly, scratched Xiao Ruoxue's nose, looked at Mu Chen and explained, "I originally wanted you to have the same surname as us, but you should know your grandfather's temper, it is not harmful to you to do this, I am older than you, just call me Brother Ruoyu in the future"

Xiao Ruoxue blinked her eyes and said sweetly, "Yes, then I'll call you Chen, you can call me Xue like Brother Yu."

Mu Chen looked up, a little unclear

Ruoyu gently explained Xiao Ruoxue's words, "We still have a few good partners, we will meet in the future" After speaking, he paused, put down Ruoxue in his arms, pulled her up, walked to Mu Chen, and stretched out his hand, "Now, welcome to join our big family!" ”

"Hee-hee, welcome to join, Tatsu!" Xiao Ruoxue also imitated Ruoyu's movements and stretched out her little hand

Mu Chen's eyes flickered, and he slowly stretched out his two hands to hold Ruoxue and Ruoyu respectively, that was the first time he felt the warmth of his heart, these two people were the first to give him light, at that moment, he decided, no matter what, to protect them!

The memories end

Xue looked at the stunned Chen, and gently softened her tone, "Time has passed, many things have changed a long time ago, I am not ruthless to you, but I am just ............"

Tatsumi took the words, "It's just a friendship of friends" and paused, as if he had made up his mind

"If I said it now, would you say yes?" Tatsu said softly

Xue was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation, "No, not before, not now, for you, I have always regarded you as family"

A trace of gloom flashed in Chen's eyes, and he felt bitter in his heart, "What if...... It's white."

Xue's eyes flickered, and he said lightly, "It's not early, let's go rest, there are still many things to do tomorrow" After speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave

"Snow ......" Chen opened his mouth to speak and stopped, and finally just said, "Be careful tomorrow, at least stay in my sight, let me see you"

"Obsessed with the past, why bother, we are all the same people, greedy for warmth, I am just a flash in the pan when I was a child, Xiaoqian likes you, you know" Xue stopped, as if helpless

Chen frowned, "She's not love for me, I can see it, it's just worship as love"

Snow was silent and returned to her room to rest

Chen stood on the rooftop, looking up at the sky, the corners of his lips hooked up a wry smile, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it

You know? I've been trying to get better, just because of you, it's a flash in the pan for you, but for me, it's half of my life that I want to do my best to protect, and the second half of my life is always the same......

—————— dividing line

Five o'clock in the morning

It was still dark, and there was silence in the dark villa

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, the door of the room opened gently, and a figure quietly walked out, walking by the living room, unable to see anything clearly in the night, while the clear and bright eyes looked thoughtfully at the coffee table in the living room

Softly opened the door and left the villa, and a figure stood faintly in front of an upstairs window on the other side
