Chapter Seventy-One: I Should Have Known the End
"Who do you fall in love with?" I fastened the last button, walked barefoot to the window, and reached out to push the wooden window open. The sound of the rain www.biquge.info, which was originally a little vague, instantly became clear. The wind mixed with the rain passed through the window and hit my face, which was very hot after bathing, and it was a little cold. And this coldness also shattered my unrealistic illusions. But his words reshaped that fantasy for me.
"I'm a killer...... A killer who walks alone, never trusts others, and likewise does not dare to trust others. I lowered my eyes and rubbed the dagger that had always been by my side. The only thing I can trust, what I can rely on, is it.
"I haven't even received trust, I haven't even touched trust, who will I be familiar with? Who will know me? I suddenly felt a little sad, and then I gently waved the dagger in my hand, as if to cut off this sadness. But how can a tangible blade cut through an invisible emotion?
"If you don't even know each other, how can you talk about love? If you haven't even gained trust, how can you talk about love? β
She stood at the candle-lit window, letting the rain fall from the gloomy sky outside the window wet her cloud-like hair again, and spoke lonely words. It was the same sky as it was then, so it ...... So I spoke up and said to her, "Everything will change, trust me...... If you need a love, then I will make a good life for you. β
Actually, I should have noticed it back then. It's just that the obsession with wanting to fulfill that promise to her is too deep, so I unconsciously ignore some things that I should have been aware of. I should have known what was going to happen; I should have understood that in the end, the only person she knew best could be me.
However, by the time I did realize, it was too late. Everything is beyond change. She chose me, and she chose death at the same time. The soul is scattered, the smoke is gone, and it will never fall into the ...... of reincarnation Death.
It's just that at that time, I didn't understand, and she was ignorant. So, she lowered her eyes and responded to my words, "Is life good?" Killer...... Can you have it too? She paused, then pinned the dagger in her hand to the lattice.
"What are you doing?" I was startled for a moment, and asked a little confused. "It's nothing, it's just a matter of determination." There was a flash in her eyes, staring out the window at the rainy day, "I...... Some yearn for those talented and beautiful women. So, please...... Pull in for me, okay? β
"No problem." At that time, although I was very happy to agree, I actually didn't have any bottom in my heart. I didn't chase a girl before I was alive, and I didn't have time to coax my little sister; And the guys who have been boarding over the years have a tendency to be destined to die alone, where will they have any experience? The only one that has moved the hearts of mortals has basically no reference value.
How to teach her to chase the man she likes...... It's a big problem for me. I often wonder if that prodigal son had been born before her, maybe I could have saved her fate. Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
"So, tell me your name." In order to explain as clearly as possible at the beginning everything she might have had questions, I took the initiative to mention this issue.
"Huh? Aren't you the Moon Elder Emissary? Don't even know my name? Then, as expected, she was questioned.
"I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask Elder Yue...... In addition, without your name, there is no way to calculate your marriage. I took out the rhetoric I had prepared and waited for her response.
"......" she was speechless and silent.
"Tell me your name." So I went on to ask for her name. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her eyes and told me her name.
"Xia Shuying." She said, "My name is ...... Xia Shuying. β

Mo Yin Bao'er leaned against the kitchen door, staring at Li Ai, who was standing next to the bowl and sink, wearing an apron, and then turned her eyes back and glanced at Zhang Zhou, who was sitting in the living room and still didn't plan to go back. "It seems that he still doesn't worry about me."
"He's just worried about me. After all, we are companions. Li Ai washed the dishes, her pink fingertips were frozen red by the cold water in winter.
"Companion...... Is it really just a companion? Mo Yin Bao'er was noncommittal, and said to Li Ai about the question that would not be heard by Zhang Zhou.
"Partner, isn't it good?" Li Ai picked up the cleaned dishes and put them back where they should be. Turning his eyes, he stared at Mo Yin Bao'er, and asked coldly. At that moment, Mo Yin Bao'er clearly felt that her emotions turned cold slightly. She lowered her eyes and smiled nonchalantly.
"Forget it." She said this, and then showed a somewhat grim expression. "The rice was eaten, and the dishes were washed. Now, you don't have any reason to shirk, you don't have any reason to hide it," she stepped forward and stared at Li Ai, who was taking care of herself uncovering her apron, "Yes...... Let's get started, right? β
"Don't worry." Li Ai hung the apron on the hook with his backhand, raised his eyes and said to Moyin Bao'er, "Let's go, I'll take you to learn the knowledge you have in mind." β
She took her hand, pulled her out of the kitchen, returned to the living room, and pressed her to the sofa, Zhang Zhou, who was sitting on another sofa, raised his eyes at the same time, looked over, and paid attention to her movements.
"You said you've been asleep for a hundred and seventeen years, right?" Li Ai turned around and walked towards her former bedroom. Since what happened to Midorihime, she has rarely rested there, and more time, she sleeps on the sofa that carries that memory. So, for her, this room is more about placing certain things.
"Hmm." Moyin Bao'er responded softly, affirming the data. At the same time, Li Ai opened the bedroom door, walked in, and then took out a black object.
"It's December 2016, so let's count it as 2017 for now." As she spoke, she placed the black object beside Moyin Bao'er, and lifted the lid on it. "If you subtract 117 years from 2017, you fall asleep in 1890. Right? β
"I don't know. What 1890, what 2017, I never seem to have heard of such a way of dating. Mo Yin Bao'er's face showed a little confused.
"If you don't know, forget it." Li Ai shook his head, "Anyway, this is not very important to you now. As she spoke, she turned on the black thing and jumped out of the standby interface. She moved the mouse, typed in the password, and clicked into the browser page.
"What I'm trying to say is that what is holding you back from learning what you want right now is actually words." She clicked on the search box, typed a few words ΓΓ dictionary, and clicked search. "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a major revision of the previous text. From complex to simple, there are great changes. So, what you have to do now is to know all the current simplified Chinese characters first. β
"I believe that as a nine-tailed fox demon, your memory should be far better than that of us humans, right?" Li Ai turned his eyes and looked at Mo Yin Bao'er who was holding his arms.
"What else do I need to do after learning these words?" After staring at each other for a moment, she picked up the tablet, rested it on her lap, and stared down at the information revealed on the screen. In a short period of time, she had already written down some of Li Ai's operations on the computer, clicking on the page change mark with the mouse, memorizing ten lines at a glance, and comparing the different readings of certain words and sentences.
"After that?" Li Ai sat down beside her and reached out and pressed the water chestnut of the laptop. "This thing will allow you to find everything you want to learn, you just need to learn."
"Is that so?" Moyin Bao'er was noncommittal, and gradually immersed herself in learning.

"The sky was cloudless after the rain. This summer, you can hear cicadas chirping everywhere. "Sunlight shines through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, shining on a pair of embroidered shoes that lay under the bed, and on them the silk flowers outlined in red thread.
Someone walked along the street outside the window, lamenting the coming midsummer. But he didn't know that it was this kind of exclamation that let an undead who was staying in someone else's eyes know that it had been completed, and indirectly woke up a female killer in the attic next to him. If he knew that he had just accidentally quarreled with a killer who had killed several famous people in this city, I wondered if he would still be in the mood to sigh at this gorgeous summer.
"Hey, Xia Shuying? Get up! Feed? Feed! Xiu, who was staying in the eyes of the girl killer, kept shouting loudly, and it took a lot of effort to wake up the girl killer who was lying in bed. And the first words that this master said after opening his eyes made Xiu have the urge to collapse.
"Hmm...... It's still early. Let me sleep a little longer. As she spoke, she pulled over the quilt and was about to sleep again.
"Early?" Xiu has some dizziness. When she first opened her eyes, he could clearly see that the sun had risen outside. Seeing that she really wanted to sleep a little longer, Xiu hurriedly spoke up again, so that he wanted to keep her awake.
ββ¦β¦ Don't sleep, we have to go out? Don't you want to get married? β
"Marriage or something...... I'll talk about it when I wake up. β
"Hey, don't sleep, even if you don't care about marriage, you still have to go out for the gods and fight those monsters!" Xiu had no choice but to bring out the gods of nonsense, hoping that she would be scared awake. However, in the face of her monstrous sleepiness, the gods were also floating clouds.
However, he never gave up, and kept whispering in her ear. In the end, the girl killer was so nagged by him that he couldn't sleep anymore, hurriedly got out of bed and changed his clothes, and stood in front of the bronze mirror. It took a lot of time to sort out my makeup, and I finally walked out of the room before the sun rose in the middle of the sky.
When the scorching sun shone on her face, she narrowed her eyes uncomfortably. "I hate the sun......"
Xiu: "...... So? β
"Come out again in the evening."
