Chapter 144: Cold and Warm
The sound of the door closing echoed in Wang Yue's room, and he looked very lonely in the sound of standing in the room wearing sandals. www.biquge.info He was not in a hurry to take off his wet clothes, but raised his head to look through the gap in the bangs that were soaked and clinging to his eyes to the dim ceiling, and his thin lips, which had become pale due to the stimulation of the cold winter rain, were slightly hooked, revealing a cruel smile.
So be it...... It's all good that this is how it is. He muttered unconsciously, then untied his soaked clothes, and after a moment of hesitation, he closed his eyes and threw them behind him, with all the pain and sorrow in his heart.
He didn't know that Wang Yue's mother, who closed the door of his room, did not leave, but leaned against the wall next to the door, frowning and not knowing what to think. After a long time, she sighed softly, turned around and walked into the kitchen, extinguished the flame that was still rising under the pot, and didn't care about half of the dinner, and walked to Wang Yue's father, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, with a tired face, Ying Ying sat down, rested her head on his shoulder, and silently closed her eyes.
Wang Yue's father glanced at her, did not speak, did not move, and quietly waited for her to speak. He didn't have to wait long for her, leaning on her shoulder, she opened her mouth to ask him. "Am I doing something wrong? Husband? ”
"......" Wang Yue's father was silent for a while, but he put his backhand around her shoulder, didn't look back, and said in a very deep voice, "It's not wrong, where is the right or wrong for such a thing?" He's our kid after all......"
"yes, he's ...... after all It's our children. Wang Yue's mother muttered a repeat, but quietly closed her eyes. But he was in such pain...... I don't know what kind of thing happened to him......"
"He doesn't say it, and we don't want to ask, he has grown up, and we ......" Wang Yue's father's voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually became blurred......
The sword light with black afterburn jumped in the narrow alley, swept over the body of the strange-shaped monster in the pitch-black, making its somewhat sharp roar stop abruptly, and then smashed on the bluestone ground like pushing a mountain of gold and falling jade pillars, and disintegrated into a pitch-black debris in the rain that smashed on the ground and splashed countless splashes, and quickly became damp in the rain, gathered into one ball after another, and even flowed far away along the gathered water......
Zhang Zhou carried the long knife of the night that was still burning with black flames, and stood in the shield of the six-pointed star enchantment that was isolated from the rain, and looked down at the small piles of pitch-black ash that remained at his feet. After feeling some of the shackles in his mind being untied, Zhang Zhou seemed to wake up a lot in an instant. A lot of things that had been overlooked suddenly became clear, and he found a lot of things that were wrong......
For example, the things that have appeared in the alleys in recent days are basically evil things, and the occasional demons are so powerful that they can't compete with them at all. For example, why does the black ember that remains disappear completely, leaving not even the slightest trace of existence?
He stared at the black embers, and in the deepest part of his pupils, a sharp light lurked. He always thought that something else would happen on these black embers, but he waited a long time, but still didn't notice anything.
He couldn't help frowning, although he didn't find anything, he still had a strange feeling in his heart. However, thinking of Li Ai, who was still waiting outside the alley, he had no intention of continuing to wait here. With his backhand, he retracted the black flame stained on the blade back into his palm, and inserted the long knife back into the flesh and blood on his arm, silently hiding the six-pointed star in the center of his eyebrows, he broke through the rain curtain that shrouded him again, and stood under Li Ai's umbrella outside the mouth of the alley.
"It took so long this time...... Is the stuff that appears inside tricky? In the face of Li Ai's somewhat casual question, Zhang Zhou, who took his umbrella from her hand, paused in his busy movements. Then he shook his head silently, "Almost." As he spoke, he was a little weak enough not to stay inside, staring at the black embers left by the dark evil thing for several minutes to tell her.
When she raised her eyes, she found that the umbrella Li Ai was holding had already been soaked in the pouring rain, and a large amount of water beads seeped through the umbrella surface and dripped on her body. Looking at Li Ai, who was wet on her shoulders, pursing her lips in the cold wind, and shivering a little, Zhang Zhou didn't understand where she had been standing at the mouth of the alley in the rain waiting for her to come out.
His lips twitched, but he felt the urge to punch himself. With red eyes, he restrained this impulse, reached out violently, and changed the umbrella in his hand and the umbrella in Li Ai's hand. Then he gently pushed her back in Li Ai's puzzled gaze, "Let's go, the matter has been settled, and we should go home." ”
"Oh." Li Ai answered, turned around obediently, and walked in the direction of the apartment. But Zhang Zhou, who was following her, paused, glanced back at the narrow alley shrouded by the rain curtain, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes. For the sake of such a gentle her, for the gentle self who wants to repay her, and for the sake of that affection, he will kill any threat that arises! Retracting his sharp gaze into the alley, Zhang Zhou followed behind the petite and thin Li Ai with gentle pity, and walked away quickly.
Whether it was Zhang Zhou, who swore secretly in his heart, or Li Ai, who stepped on the stagnant water with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked forward while thinking about something, they didn't notice that they both unconsciously and naturally agreed with the word 'home' that Zhang Zhou said. Go home...... Back to the home that belonged to him and hers.
Soon after Zhang Zhou and the others left, in that narrow alley, the scattered black embers that had been washed away by the rain regrouped into a ball, and then disappeared into the bluestone ground that fluctuated under the flowing water......
The living room under the light has a little more warm smell. Zhang Zhou followed behind Li Ai and changed out of his shoes that had been wet a lot. Watching Li Ai walk through the living room with an umbrella that had been dried and hung next to the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Zhou, who put down his bag that was a little wet, stretched out his hand to stop Li Ai, who was hurrying to the kitchen.
"I'll leave it to dinner, you can go and change your clothes first." He glanced at Li Ai's wet shoulders, raised his hand and pointed to the room where Li Ai was hiding the door, and then took two steps back without saying a word, grabbed the apron hanging on the wall outside the kitchen in his hand, and put it on his body three or two times. Li Aina, who wanted to say something, shut up and could only walk back to his room obediently.
Seeing her walk back to the room, Zhang Zhou, who closed the door, silently withdrew his eyes, turned around and entered the kitchen, immediately opened the refrigerator, took out the ingredients that he bought yesterday and had not used up, and put them on the cooking table.
When he walked out of the kitchen with the prepared meal, Li Ai, who had changed into clothes, was biting the pen and sitting on the dining table by the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning at the notebook in front of him. Zhang Zhou, who approached, glanced at it, and as expected, found that what made her embarrassed was not today's homework, but some fragmented words.
She...... I'm still worrying about myself. Zhang Zhou's eyes were full of warmth, and in that warmth, there was something special that was fluctuating, ready to erupt. But he forcibly suppressed that impulse and strangled that special feeling in his heart. You can't rush and wait...... He admonished himself like this, put the food in his hand on the table, and then reached out very domineeringly, and closed the notebook spread out in front of her.
Li Ai, who was trying to recall, wanted to find information from Moyin Bao'er's broken words, and wanted to decipher more words from those broken and inaudible syllables, raised his eyes and looked at him puzzled, "It's time to eat." He smiled at her and whispered in a very gentle tone, "Let's think about it after eating." ”
With that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen again. Li Ai, who felt a little strange, sat in place and looked at his back in a daze. Perhaps it was because her impression of him was still in the strange dullness of not so long ago, and she did not feel much special in the face of his sudden gentleness.
She just thought there was something unusual about his behavior. And this is more or less due to the fact that she has put most of her energy into thinking about trying to unravel the truth through the information left by Moyin Bao'er.
She lowered her eyes, glanced at the notebook he had closed in front of her, and sighed quietly. During this time, she did not parse any useful information from the broken words left behind by Moyin Bao'er. Those words are too mutilated to be of much use......
Maybe...... She turned her eyes and glanced at Zhang Zhou, who was carefully carrying a bowl of soup and came out of the kitchen again. Perhaps it is necessary to go in a different direction, go directly to the truth, and find a way to solve all the problems. After all, Moyin Bao'er once said that she had given Zhang Zhou back the ability to break free from that fate.
Li Ai retracted his gaze, reached out and swept the notebook in front of him aside, and then moved the food that Zhang Zhou had rested on the table to make room for the bowl of soup in his hand. After eating, ask him what changes have occurred in Mo Yin Bao'er's body before and after he started. She picked up her chopsticks and thought to herself.
However, her plans fell through. After dinner, sitting on the sofa, still a little unrelenting, sitting on the sofa and thinking hard about Moyin Bao'er's words, she suddenly fell asleep, and then lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Zhou waited too long in the rain, so that she was wet by the rain again, and the cold didn't get much worse......
