Chapter 61: The Beginning of the Dawn
Irritability is a very bad habit, especially for a high-ranking demon. In the past year, I have accumulated almost all the anger that I have been in the human world for 30 years to vent intensively during this time, and I have been constantly observing and analyzing myself objectively at any time, and I no longer exist, because the desires of the world have changed me, so that I can no longer be at peace.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing me angrily walking down the second floor, Yu Qingyan, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, asked with a little worry.
"It's fine." I wandered back and forth between the underworld and the human world, unable to figure out myself and my feelings. But when I saw Yu Qingyan asking me, I still stopped and tried my best to calm down and answer her. Because no matter what kind of situation I am in, I can't ignore her as a person, and seeing her is like seeing my only hope in this world.
"Come over and help if you're fine." After Yu Qingyan finished speaking to me, he turned his head and continued to work on the matter at hand, and then I heard her whisper to Mo Xiao on the side: "Mo Xiao, you go up and have a look." ”
Mo Xiao looked at me and then looked at my room on the second floor, and then listened to Yu Qingyan's words and went up to the second floor.
"If you don't want to go hungry, just come here." Yu Qingyan saw that I still didn't move, and urged again. As soon as Mo Xiao walked on the first floor, only me and her were left, one standing in the living room and the other in the kitchen, obviously not far away, but I didn't dare to walk like her as chic as before.
"Yu Qingyan, can I ask you a question." I looked at her elegant back like a lotus, and my heart gradually sank. I thought that for her, I would quickly find the Spirit of Light and bring it back to the underworld, and after completing the task assigned by the Seven Monarchs of the underworld, I would be able to get along with her without any scruples, in this life, in the next life, and even in the next life, as long as I don't perish, she will have me by her side in every reincarnation. But now that things have only progressed to the first step, it has made it difficult for me to move an inch, the love in the world is not only love, but also family and friendship are equally important to human beings, and it is difficult for Yu Qingyan to give up.
"If it's still about you and me, don't ask." Yu Qingyan didn't look back, and said a light and indifferent word, Ren Jiu showed an uncompromising attitude, but now where do I still have the heart to ask those.
"It's not about me or you, I said I wouldn't ask you about those things again. What I want to ask is, if one day ...... Your sister ...... "What will happen to your sister if she is taken away to a far, far away place and you will never see her again?"
"Jingxi, what's wrong with her?" Seeing that I hesitated halfway, she hurriedly asked.
"If one day your sister gets married and leaves you, will you be very sad?" In the end, I still didn't say what I thought so bluntly, Yu Qingyan She was too smart, I was afraid that I couldn't escape her suspicion.
"Why do you suddenly ask like that?" She didn't answer me right away, but wanted to understand my motivation for asking. She has a number of things in her heart, including my habit of speaking and the style of doing things. She must have been thinking that this was not like Gong Yeqi would ask, and it shouldn't have been asked so suddenly.
"Just ask casually, forget if you don't answer well." I smiled awkwardly and walked over to her and changed the subject to a more practical one: "How can I help?" ”
"Is Jingxi bothering you again?" Yu Qingyan bypassed me, opened the refrigerator door behind me, and put the dozen eggs that Jia Yue had just bought into it one by one, and glanced back at me at the end.
"Nope." I handed her the eggs on the kitchen counter, and she naturally took them, inevitably touching her fingertips in the process, but she shrank her hand quickly.
"You didn't contact her again, did you?" In my sister's position, Yu Qingyan asked along the vine, her precautions against me were not just a little physical contact, but an all-round supervision.
"Nope." I was taken aback by what she said, and the more I thought about it, the more she asked. If I hadn't known she was human, I would almost have suspected that she was a demon with evil eyes who could see through me.
"There is no best." Her words were admonishments, but they were also the terms of agreement between me and her.
"You have your position, I understand, I won't embarrass you." The feeling of lying and still having to talk calmly made me very uncomfortable, especially in front of her. When it comes to sincerity, I've been inferior to her all the way. Her reluctance, her resistance, is due to the thoughtfulness of a thirty-year-old, and my lies are for the sake of the Spiritual Head of Light and the future of the underworld.
"Sometimes you make people feel stable and reliable, and sometimes you come across as naïve and stubborn. I really don't know which one is the real you. "Yu Qingyan obviously didn't listen to my words, I don't know where this feeling that made her disbelieve it came from tonight, if it was her sensitive intuition, it could only be said that she was very powerful. But it may also be that I think too much, and people who have secrets in their hearts and are afraid of being discovered will always be weak and suspicious.
"It's all the real me, and there are so many real mes. But if you know everything, wouldn't it seem that Gong Yeqi is very unlevel? "Just one day you really know that I am a demon from the underworld, either I scared you away, or you took me for a psychopath.
"Mysterious." Yu Qingyan sighed, and then buried herself in washing and chopping vegetables with a familiar technique, her side face was reflected in the pale yellow light, like a piece of clear white jade under the moon.
"Wouldn't it be better for two people to have a little mystery in their relationship? You're also mysterious. "I have never seen through Yu Qingyan's thoughts with an evil eye, and this is the beginning of her difference from others in my heart. Moreover, Yu Jingxi may be Lingge, and Yu Qingyan, who has the same bloodline, should have other differences.
"I didn't have a relationship with you." She always draws a line with me, she has been strict with herself for a long time, and she is used to being restrained by me.
"Sooner or later." I whispered a few words and took two steps back to wait for her reaction.
"If you don't help, get out, don't stand in the way." Yu Qingyan glared at me fiercely but had no intention of arguing with me on this issue, the two of us have been entangled in this issue for too long for a long time, and now everyone understands four words - it is useless to say more.
"I'm just waiting here." I pushed the kitchen door open and leaned against it to watch her busy figure go back and forth. I said this sentence just after my own last sentence, and I don't know how much she understood. But for me, I always believe that there is no such thing as an unprovoked encounter in this world, and there should always be a story about me and her when it comes to it.
"What happened to you upstairs and Jiayue just now, she only went up for less than ten minutes, and you slammed the door and came down in a rage?" Yu Qingyan didn't know if it was because she was uncomfortable or something else, but when she saw that I was staring at her in the kitchen for more than ten minutes and stopped talking, she cared about me like a big parent.
"It's all a family matter, there's nothing to say." When I say home, I actually mean the underworld, but no matter how Yu Qingyan understands it, it doesn't have much to do with her.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, take it out and put it on the table." After being busy for a while, two or three dishes had already been cooked, Yu Qingyan took out the dishes and handed them to me, and carefully wiped off the soup around the edge of the plate.
"Oh." I answered the call and went obediently, running back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room a few times, and Yu Qingyan called me very handy. I haven't done this kind of work since I was born, and my heart is a little uncomfortable.
"Yu Qingyan, Gong Yeqi helped you do it, isn't it very powerful?" I stretched my head out to her eyes, and I was small for a moment. "Don't get in the way here, cough cough ......" Yu Qingyan's hand stir-fry did not stop, and his throat was choked, pushing me aside.
"Okay, the Black Lotus Hall Master Xia Zhongmou has called you Master, and you will naturally not be able to look down on me if I fight." I pressed the switch on the range hood, and the smell of fumes in the kitchen instantly lessened a lot, and she stopped covering her mouth and coughing.
"Xia Zhongmou is a junior who is one year lower than me when he was in college, but what I really know is when I was apprenticed with him in the tattoo hall, he came in to learn art later than me, and I always took him with me, and over time he called out the title of master." I don't know why she Yu Qingyan suddenly explained to me, maybe it was because she relieved her today, and she felt that I should know the background of the Black Lotus Hall Master.
"It turns out that there is really a provenance...... You are so powerful, do you still accept apprentices? "I was a little surprised, I had also investigated Yu Qingyan's past in detail before, but from the things reflected in the information, it was not comprehensive and detailed enough, I only started from the aspects of personal resume, basic experience, and marriage, and completely ignored her wonderful student life. I thought I had all the dynamics of her and knew all about her past, but in fact it was far from it.
"The logo tattoos of the Black Lotus Hall were all designed by me for Xia Zhongmou."
"I said, how can the underworld tattoo such a thing on the body...... Let's get a tattoo for me, Master Yu? "The weird black lotus tattoo I saw on Ye Sikui's body today has always impressed me, and it is not only from Yu Qingyan's hand, but its unearthly style can also be explained.
"I'll talk about it later, the last dish, it's almost ready to eat." It's always after that, Yu Qingyan estimates that he doesn't know how many I have saved here. I pursed my lips and waited with my arms folded for her last big dish, steamed Wuchang fish, to come out of the pot.
"Hey, be careful......" was a little careless, she didn't grasp the order of the steaming grid, and the boiling steam at the bottom jumped out and burned her wrists.
"Ah......" Yu Qingyan had a conditioned reflex, and his hands hurt so much that he threw the steaming grid out directly. Fortunately, I was quick on the side, and I caught the steaming grid firmly the moment she threw it, and the soup did not spill on the plate and did not fall, and the Wuchang fish was saved.
"Whew, it's dangerous...... I took out the steaming plate and put it on the table, and hurriedly stepped forward to check her injury, "Are you burned, do you want to rub some liquor?" ”
"You...... Do you know how hot this plate is? Yu Qingyan held her wrist with one hand, and watched in disbelief as I took the extremely hot things around, and my abnormal behavior had made her completely forget the pain in her hands.
"Uh...... I'm thick-skinned and resistant to burns......" I didn't know how to answer for a moment, and prevaricated. The so-called hundred secrets and one negligence, no matter how cautious I am, there are still things that I have done well, such as ignoring the demon's own skin that cannot sense heat and cold in a hurry.
"The temperature of the steam is 100°C, show me your hands!" Yu Qingyan twisted her eyebrows and pulled my hand to check the injury, maybe she really cared about me at this moment, but this care was too bad.
"Oh, don't look at it, you're injured yourself, and you still care about me. I'll go get you medicine and rub it. "I immediately withdrew my hand, pushed open the kitchen door, and fled the scene of the accident. At this time, my hands must not be shown to her, even if normal people are not burned and blistered, at least their skin will be red, but I am a demon, the demon's hand is white and translucent, and there is no trace of injury at all, and even if it is injured, the wound will heal immediately.
The author has something to say: what does it feel like to be scalded with steam? At least a red one
