Seemingly, you can see the flames.

Red, dazzling flames.

Blazing and swaying quietly, reflecting the thick snow that lit up almost the entire night sky.

Then, the fiery red slowly turned lighter, and little by little it turned into a bright gold, like molten gold, but more dazzling and beautiful than gold, and the thrilling power overflowed, and the cold air was distorted.

The color of the flame did not fix there, but continued to lighten little by little, and finally turned white.

Pure white.

It's like snow, covering everything.

White reflected a black figure, and a sad smile on his face slowly opened his mouth.

He was talking about something, but he couldn't hear it, he couldn't hear anything.

I couldn't hear the flames burning, I couldn't hear the snow being trampled, I couldn't hear his voice, only intense pain rolling over and over again.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for making you so miserable......

If I could meet you again, I would be ...... by all means

Won't let you ...... anymore

In the silence, the pure white in the field of vision was gradually replaced by bright red, gorgeous and desperate, but it could not cover the sad face, the deep pain rolled in the chest and intensified, and even made people unbearable to look at it anymore, and at that moment, the bright red suddenly shrank and became another color.

It is as clear and transparent as amber, but it is closer to gold.

It was a pair of very beautiful, but empty eyes.

A trembling feeling swept over, and Zhang Longqian suddenly opened his eyes.

"Here it is...... Hospitals? ”

Looking from the ceiling to the furnishings of the room, she sat up from the white bed, frowning a little incomprehensibly, but heard the door open and a hearty voice rang out.

"Oh? Miss, are you awake? ”

"Haiyun?" Turning his head to look at the door, he saw another figure behind Ji Haiyun, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but let out a soft "ah", "...... Cangyan ......"

glanced at her, but Cang Yan did not follow Ji Haiyun in, but turned around and left without saying a word.

"Huh? I haven't said anything yet, have I? How did he ......"

Looking at the back of Cang Yan leaving, Ji Haiyun smiled lightly: "You don't need to say anything, do you?" It's enough to hear you speak. ”

Zhang Long understood after a little sneaking.

He was just waiting for himself to wake up.

"I ...... Passed out? ”

"Well, who told you to mess around before your injuries are healed?"

Saying that, she put the bowl in her hand on the bedside table, Ji Haiyun sat down on the edge of the bed, although she had a smile on her face, she looked at Zhang Longqian's gaze a little helplessly, which made her smile a little embarrassed, and then remembered the situation before she lost consciousness, and couldn't help but ask nervously.

"By the way, the medical center...... And how is Tian Quercus? ”

"Don't worry, the cadet council has already arrived when I bring you back, and the twelve demons that broke in killed nine of them, and three of them were seriously injured and captured for the Council of Elders. Tian Li's words, she is asleep upstairs now, it's fine. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Longqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great......"

Let Zhang Longqian stretch out his hand to check her pulse, and after making sure that she was fine, Ji Haiyun also looked relieved, he picked up the bowl next to the bed, blew lightly before handing it to Zhang Longqian and said, "Miss, you drink some porridge first, and then eat something else when you slow down." ”

Taking the warm bowl and smiling gratefully at Ji Haiyun, Zhang Longqian turned his head to look at the window where the curtains were lowered, and asked casually, "Anyway, how long have I been in a coma?" ”

"It's not long, it's just a day."

"Oh, it's just a day...... Well? As soon as he sighed, he felt that something was not right, Zhang Longqian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ji Haiyun, and he panicked, "I've been in a coma for a whole day?" Doesn't that mean...... Autumn Festival...... Today's match between me and Young Master Lei ......"

"Win."

“…… Ha? ”

Looking at the smile on Ji Haiyun's face, for a moment Zhang Longqian couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong, but he heard Ji Haiyun speak affirmatively.

"You heard it right, it was a win. Because you and Young Master Lei's opponent abstained today, you won without a fight. ”

Can you win without a fight even if you are unconscious?

Zhang Longqian looked incredulous: "Really? ”

"Why am I lying to you?"

"Wow, this luck is really ......" couldn't find any adjectives to describe it for a while, Zhang Longqian could only be amazed, and then asked, "What about Cangyan and Nangong?" ”

Seeing Zhang Longqian's questions one after another, Ji Haiyun couldn't help but smile and sigh, raised his hand and rubbed her head.

"After these things, I will tell you slowly, you drink the porridge first, you haven't eaten for a day. Tomorrow is the final of the Autumn Festival, and if you don't hurry up to get your body well, I'm afraid you'll abstain by then. ”

The gentle temperature of the palm was revealed, Zhang Long's heart warmed, and he smiled and said no more.

After taking a shallow sip of the hot porridge that exuded an attractive aroma, Zhang Longqian pursed his lips and couldn't help but praise in surprise.

"I didn't expect that! Haiyun, your craftsmanship is so good! ”

Looking at Zhang Longqian's determined gaze, Ji Haiyun couldn't help but smile and raised his eyebrows: "I don't remember what you cooked for the eldest lady before, right?" ”

"I haven't been, but I always feel that this bowl of porridge has a warm taste, which is very similar to you."

Zhang Longqian bent his eyes and said convincingly.

- But in fact, it was only because she tasted that this was not the usual taste of the academy cafeteria, so she guessed that it might have been made by Ji Haiyun.

But these words made Ji Haiyun stunned, and then raised his hand and rubbed Zhang Longqian's head again.

"'Warm taste'...... Miss, you're really good at talking......"

Unlike the voice full of laughter, Zhang Longqian couldn't see Ji Haiyun above his head revealing a slightly complicated gaze.

It's a bit of a lonely color.

Cang Yan, who walked downstairs, bumped into Nangong Piao who was in a hurry in the hall on the first floor, and he rushed to Cang Yan after a few words of advice to the medical hall student next to him, and asked softly: "Is she awake?" ”

Cang Yan's expression didn't change at all, just a cold "um", and Nangong Piao stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great...... Ah, there were a lot of injured people before, and I have to stay in the hospital tonight, Yan, you can go back to the dormitory, you don't have to wait for me. ”

With another "um", Cang Yan stepped out of the medical hall and stepped into the gradually falling night, and directly teleported back to the Taoist dormitory.

The neat room was no different from when Zhang Long sneaked in a long time ago, and there was no "roommate" appearing, no spells were used to illuminate the dim bedroom, Cang Yan sat alone at the table, there was no expression on his cold face, he couldn't see what he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his palm slightly, and a wisp of flame came out of his palm.

The fiery red color swayed and jumped, gradually turning golden, exuding a terrifying power, but it did not stop there, but then faded and lightened, and finally became a pure white that almost disappeared, but no longer felt the slightest heat or power, as if it was not a flame, but just a simple "white".

He stared silently at the pure white flames.

"You're going to have to protect her, if you make her disappear 'again'......"

The demon's meaningful voice seemed to appear in his ears again, Cang Yan's gaze shook slightly, his thin lips opened lightly, and the subtle voice overflowed little by little.

"Disappear...... Again......"

The sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, Cang Yan suddenly clenched his palm, and the white flames disappeared without a trace, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, but a murmur could be heard.

“…… Protecting ......"

Nuanced, yet firm.
