22. A moment of warmth
Recalling this, Luo Ze retracted his thoughts and looked at Ciris, who was enjoying the hot water sliding over his face with his eyes closed, and was slightly stunned.
It has to be said that Cirith's appearance is quite eye-catching and attracts attention.
"What are you going to do with this list?" Ciris's eyes were still closed, and his tone was slightly nonchalant.
Luo Ze blinked, looked away from staring at him, and thought for a while, "So many people's names have been stamped with death seals, and the legion commander has been so carefully preserved, I always feel that this matter is not so simple. โ
Cyris listened quietly.
Luo Ze had unconsciously trusted Cyris as he had in the past, and told all the thoughts in his heart.
This was a point that he overlooked, and Cirius saw in his eyes.
"Moreover, I have a vague feeling that this list has something to do with the fact that the Legion Commander is going to give me to the High Elves." Luo Ze's brows furrowed slightly, "I'm going to talk to Arthur to see what information he can provide." โ
Cirith didn't say anything, his eyes still closed.
After not seeing him respond for a long time, Luo Ze almost thought that the night's travel had made him too tired, and he fell asleep while standing.
"Sleepy?" Luo Ze lowered his voice slightly, stretched out his hand, and Qingqing gently patted him on the shoulder, testing whether he was still awake.
Cirith's breathing was steady, and after a few gentle touches of Roze's hand on his shoulder, he suddenly took his hand.
"You're not asleep." Roze wanted to withdraw his hand.
"No matter what, I'm not going to put you in danger." Cyris said, opening his eyes and staring at him intently, without the slightest intention of letting go of his hand.
Luo Ze was stunned, he didn't expect Cirith to suddenly say this, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
He raised his eyes to see the seriousness in Ciris's eyes that had never been before, and his heart jumped violently, and instantly became soft.
The previous fear and defense against him eased slightly.
After saying that, Cirius let go of his hand, turned around, and said lightly, "Help me wipe my back." โ
"Okay." Luo Ze agreed, picked up the towel and reached out to wipe his back.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, Cirius moved his chin slightly, and he caught a glimpse of Luo Ze behind him with a gentle expression, wiping him seriously.
His appearance overlapped with his memory, in the bathroom of a hotel in the dungeon, gently washing his body for him.
At that time, Cirith lived a miserable childhood, and that day he was bullied by his cousin and fell hard into the mud when it was pouring rain.
He struggled to get up, gently helped him up with one hand, held up an umbrella for him, and smiled at him, "Hello, my name is Luo Ze, what's your name?" โ
At that time, Cirith was like a wounded little beast, and his heart was full of vigilance, but the smile of the person in front of him was very gentle, and the thorns on his body inadvertently became soft.
In his memory, no one had ever smiled at him so gently, and he longed too much for a person's gentleness, so he deeply stored Luo Ze's smile at that time in the deepest part of his mind.
Then he fainted from hunger and exhaustion, and woke up again, and Cyris lay on the soft and comfortable bed where he had never slept before, and saw his eldest brother who had picked him up in the rain at that time, and got up without saying a word to leave, fearing that he would be beaten again when he returned late.
Luo Ze brought a table of food, still with a gentle smile, "Eat enough before leaving?" โ
Cirius was very hungry, and the fragrant food on the table kept seducing his sense of smell, and he finally couldn't hold back, nodded, and sat down, at that time he only thought that even if the person in front of him was a bad person, poisoned in the food, and died when he was full, he would be happy.
Luo Ze touched his head very distressed and gently, and after he finished eating, he smiled and said to him, "You seem to be having a bad time." โ
Cyris frowned and didn't speak, and Roze smiled again, "How about following me?" I'm going to make your life better than you are now. โ
It's better than it is now.
This sentence affected Ciris's judgment, and his greatest wish at that time was to escape from his uncle's family, even if there were more dangerous traps waiting for him later, he was desperate to try.
"If you escape, you will be killed." Ciris's immature face had a calmness that did not match his age.
Luo Ze's eyes were full of pity, his smile was still so gentle, and he wanted to warm people's hearts, "I will protect you." โ
Protection? In Ciris's life, no one has ever protected him, and this sentence is like a light that warms Ciris's whole body.
Perhaps from enjoying such tenderness, Cirith inexplicably developed a sense of trust in the stranger in front of him.
"Okay." Cyris thought, he had to give it a go.
Luo Ze smiled even more happily when he heard him agree, and took his hand, "Let's go, take you little clay figure to wash your body." โ
Cyris let Roze take him into the bathroom, put a bathtub full of hot water, and took him to lie down in the spacious large bathtub, and took a comfortable bath.
At that time, Luo Ze looked at the dirt and scars of different shades on Ciris's body, and gently and meticulously wiped his body for him, for fear of hurting his wounds, and told him in a firm tone, "With me, I will never let you get hurt again." โ
The picture was frozen on Roze's face in the memory, and Ciris's eyes flushed when he thought of this sentence.
Luo Ze, who was wiping his back, obviously felt that Cirith's breathing suddenly became unsteady, and he took a few deep breaths, as if he was suppressing something.
While Roze was confused, Cyris suddenly turned around and hugged him tightly in his arms.
"You"
Luo Ze felt his hug blankly, for some reason, what made him more concerned was that it was too embarrassing for them to hug each other โกโก whole body.
"I miss you so much." In the middle of the night, Ciris, who was buried in his neck, uttered such a sentence in a dull manner.
Luo Ze was stunned, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, "What did you say, did you admit your mistake again?" โ
He was still pretending to be confused.
Cirith breathed for a moment, his eyes sank, and he closed his eyes again in pain, still holding him, burying his face in his neck.
"For this moment, instead of him, let me hug it." Ciris's voice was weak.
Luo Ze felt distressed for a while, since Ciris's ability appeared and became strong and no longer needed his protection, Luo Ze had never seen such a vulnerable side of Ciris.
Luo Ze knew that he should push him away and pretend to be stupid to the end, but Cirith was thinking about him, but he couldn't recognize him, and Luo Ze felt very uncomfortable.
Just this once.
Luo Ze loosened the string that had been tightening, and without saying a word, gently patted Cirith's back.
The fragile display of each other in the bathroom was like a dream, and Ciris, who stood by the window and looked at the scenery, once again regained his former indifference and unpredictability.
Luo Ze was a little dazed, but at the same time, he was also vigilant in his heart.
can't be taken away by him all the time, the tacit understanding between the two during this time made him feel dangerous.
Especially when Roze knew that Cyris was still thinking about himself like that.
He hurt Cirith too deeply and too badly, and Luo Ze knew that the moment he was caught, it would definitely be like a doomsday trial, with only a ruined ending.
Roze walked out of the apartment, came to Arthur's room and rang the doorbell.
"Who?" Arthur opened the revolving door and was surprised to see someone coming, "It's you, come in, I'm looking for you." โ
"What's the matter with me?" Seeing him so excited, Luo Ze smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down.
Arthur took a drink and handed it to him, and Luo Ze glanced at the drink, smiled and took it and thanked him.
This must be the taste that Yir likes, Luo Ze thought silently as he looked at the green liquid in front of him.
"Il, you know what? Admiral Diesel is investigating! Arthur gossiped excitedly, "It seems to be because of your mission last night." โ
Luo Ze nodded, "I know, it was an order from the Legion Commander." โ
"What the hell is going on?" Arthur asked.
"Last night we were on a mission when we were met by a group of dark organizations who wore the coat of arms of Admiral Diesel family."
"Oh my God! So, Admiral Diesel is trying to kill you?! Arthur was surprised and a little indignant, and approached him and said sternly, "Is it for Sekin's business?" โ
"Yes." Luo Ze replied.
Arthur snorted coldly, "Sai Jin blamed anyone for his own evil, he actually wants to take revenge on you, they really deserve to be a family." โ
Luo Ze also sneered, Arthur was full of curiosity, and asked again, "What's going on with the super-grade giant beast?" The people of the DT-01 team have been discussing that someone has quietly killed the giant beast under your noses, and has not alarmed any Inhumans yet? Who is this? How can it be so powerful?! โ
In front of Arthur, Luo Ze did not intend to hide it, and deliberately got very close to Arthur, speaking in the voices of only two people, in case Arthur's room was also equipped with a monitor.
"The giant beast was killed by Admiral Cyris in order to get the red crystal energy body." Luo Ze said.
"What?!" Arthur was taken aback, and then wondered, "How did he do it?" โ
