Liu Xuanfei also ran home madly.

When he returned, he rushed straight to the room where he was free.

######

When he came to the courtyard where the Xiaoyao family lived, he saw no one.

He knocked on the door of the room, but no one answered for a long time. He wanted to go in, but his education didn't allow him to push the door in.

Fortunately, there was a solution to his ambivalence.

"Liu Xuan, Xiaoyao is not in the room now."

Following the sound, Liu Xuan turned around and saw Linling.

Linling's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had just woken up.

Liu Xuan asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Lin Ling said, "...... You got it? ”

Liu Xuan nodded. "I knew it when I was in Ningyeyuan," he said, "and the imperial court sent someone to say it." said that he saved the emperor's Long You Xiaoyao and his family, and Fan Yao was kidnapped by the Shadow Snake Organization, but was rescued. ”

Lin Ling nodded silently.

"And I, the other person who saved the emperor, has been protected by the masters of the imperial court from that moment on."

“…… You're sweating, like you've run back......"

"Ah, this, I've been surrounded by court masters all afternoon, and I'm uncomfortable to death. So when I got out of school, I asked them not to stay with me in the open, so they hid and protected me in secret. ”

“…… That's right. So those masters are around here? ”

Liu Xuan nodded. "Linling, tell me quickly, you're not injured, right?"

Lin Ling was silent for a long time, and the sadness in her pupils told Liu Xuan that the real result would not be the result he expected in his mind.

He wanted to ask, "Someone is hurt?" ”

Lin Ling was silent for a long time, did not answer your question, but shouted into Qiao Ye's room: "Qiao Ye wake up, Liu Xuan is back!" ”

After a while, Qiaoye came out. She also looked like she had just woken up.

"The two of us took a nap," said Linling, "so we were both a little sluggish." ”

Liu Xuan: "...... Sorry to bother you. ”

Lin Ling shook her head.

Qiao Ye passed, and she recovered very quickly from the state she had just woken up, and she became the usual energetic girl again.

"Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan!" She said, "Are you coming to see us?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded, "It seems that you are fine." He said, "I hope Xiaoyao and Fan Yao are the same." ”

Qiao Ye's head lowered, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Ling's words.

"Qiaoye, let's take Liu Xuan to find Xiaoyao and Fan Yao."

Qiao Ye nodded and asked again, "Sister Linling, do you know where they are?" ”

"So I'm going to look for it!"

“…… Oh......" Qiaoye finally reacted.

Lin Ling looked at Liu Xuan, "To tell you the truth, Liu Xuan, I don't have the courage to say what happened to us after we were kidnapped, so you go and see for yourself." ”

Liu Xuan swallowed his saliva, at least, he knew that Xiaoyao was not the person who "it seems that you are fine".

――I don't know how Fan Yao is......

######

Some time after the children left, Red Blood Wei and Bai Junlan came out.

Bai Junlan asked, "We really don't have to go with us?" ”

Red Blood Wei said: "The four people who came with Liu Xuan are all good, of course, they can't catch up with the two of us." They should be able to protect the little ones. ”

"You trust outsiders?"

“…… I don't believe it, but ah, do you think the people of Shadow Snake will still make a move today? ”

Bai Junlan shook her head.

"It's important to protect the children, but we can't expose our strength too much."

Bai Junlan nodded, "But...... It's so troublesome. ”

Redblood said, "Who's to say it's not? She asked again: "Junlan, did you hear what An Fengyi said in the free room before?" ”

"Which one do you mean?"

"Don't be confused." Hongxuewei said, "An Fengyi said that she was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to protect Xiaoyao and this family." ”

Bai Junlan was silent for a long time, "If she can free herself from the past......"

"Is it possible?"

Bai Junlan couldn't open her mouth, she really couldn't be sure.

Redblood smiled, "But ...... An Fengyi has changed and become humane. ”

"Sister, has she really changed?" Bai Junlan asked, "Sometimes you say, I say, Mo Wen also says that she has changed, and sometimes, she makes us feel that she hasn't changed at all...... Has she changed? ”

Redblood looked at her, unable to answer her question.

Liufu Garden.

Boulevards, stone chairs

Fan Yao has always been by Xiaoyao's side, and Xiaoyao has always been sullen.

He always looked at his hand, his left hand.

He had not been able to get used to his current left hand.

――Is it because your eyes can't get used to it, or because you can't get used to it by memory?

He couldn't answer himself, he could only sigh.

Suddenly, Fan Yao asked, "Xiaoyao...... Are you upset because I'm around? ”

Xiaoyao looked at her and quickly shook his head. "Not really!" He said, "I am sad about my weakness. ”

The longer Fan Yao spent with Xiaoyao, the more she realized that her mouth was stupid. Now she doesn't know how to comfort Xiaoyao, and she doesn't know what to say to be the most effective.

Xiaoyao suddenly said, "Fan Yao, can you go to Fengyi's mother's side?" ”

“…… Why, it's really because of me that you don't ......"

"No!?" "Because emotions are contagious, negative emotions are even more so. He lowered his head, "So it's not that I'm unhappy because of you, it's because I'm unhappy." So, stay away from me......"

Fan Yao's heart moved. She finally knew why Xiaoyao said she wanted to be alone. He was too kind to the people around him, and he didn't want his family and friends to be sad because of his grief and angry because of his anger.

But isn't that stupid?

-- What is wise and what is stupid, and what is a clear demarcation?

"I don't want it." Fan Yao said, "I don't know how to comfort you, but I know that you should have someone by your side now." ”

Xiaoyao was silent and looked at Fan Yao, "You really don't respect me." He said, "But you're a girl, I'll let you!" ”

Fan Yao smiled.

Xiaoyao lowered his head again.

Fan Yao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaoyao's face was a little red, and he asked, "Fan Yao, I cried at the end, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Fan Yao was a little confused, and then quickly remembered. "There's nothing funny," she said, "and if it were me, I'd have cried." ”

"But I'm a man!" Xiaoyao said, "No matter what time it is, it's too unreasonable to cry like that." ”

Fan Yao smiled, "But you're just a twelve-year-old boy!" ”
