Fujiwara sat cross-legged against the wall as usual.

Mingqiu is coming after a while, and Mingqiu is very punctual, so she retreats from her meditation and waits quietly.

Sure enough, after only ten minutes, Meihong heard familiar footsteps outside the house.

She jumped to her feet and opened the door.

"Today I made a famous dish, and it tasted good, so I brought it with me." Bai Mingqiu walked into the house and put the small basket in his hand on the table.

"Then I'll try." Mei Hong said, "The dish that can make you boast is probably good." ”

Bai Mingqiu said with a smile: "I don't know if Huiyin will come later, I brought two servings." ”

Mei Hong smiled, sat down and opened the basket, and smelled the sour and touching smell of fish.

"I'm not very good at eating fish..."Mei Hong frowned slightly, "When I was a child, I choked on the throat by fish bones, and I don't like to eat fish much since then." ”

"Are you afraid of fish bones, don't worry, I've removed all the fish bones, and there is very little fishy smell, you try it, it's really delicious."

Mei Hong still listened to Bai Mingqiu, took the chopsticks and pinched a little, and the frowning brows immediately loosened, she was a man of action, and she didn't care about saying that it was delicious, so she devoured it.

Bai Mingqiu couldn't help but laugh, watching Mei Hong eat her share of the wind and clouds quickly.

Wiping her mouth casually, Mei Hong whispered, "I'm full", and then glanced at Bai Mingqiu with some embarrassment.

"Mingqiu, I don't eat very well." She said softly.

Bai Mingqiu said softly: "No, I like it very much." ”

Sister Hong spent thousands of years alone, and there were embarrassing times in her early years, when she encountered food, she was reserved or thrown aside, and it was important to fill her stomach.

Mei Hong smiled slightly, thinking that Mingqiu is always gentle, so why bother asking.

Neither of them spoke, Mei Hong took out the dishes and chopsticks to wash them off, Bai Mingqiu drank tea while reading the book he was carrying, and then watched the sun sink little by little, and the clear light of the moon sprinkled all over the earth.

Huiyin stepped on the dappled shadows of the trees reflected in the moonlight.

"Huiyin is here." Bai Mingqiu raised his head and said to Mei Hong.

Mei Hong sat next to Bai Mingqiu, heard the words, and when she saw Huiyin, she said, "Why is it a little late today?" The good dishes brought by Ming Qiu are almost cold. ”

"I went to the Red Devil Pavilion today to give a lesson to their second miss." Huiyin smiled at Bai Mingqiu and explained, "Fran has a bad temper, how can I say it... A little irritable, I gave her a lesson, and the owner of the Remilia Pavilion left me dinner, and after I politely declined, I talked to Pache for a while, so it was delayed until now. ”

Mei Hong nodded and said, "There is one on the table, let's eat some." ”

"Sauerkraut fish." Bai Mingqiu smiled.

Huiyin snorted: "Sauerkraut... The cabbage you asked for was used to make this. ”

"Yes, yes." Bai Mingqiu nodded.

Huiyin sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, suddenly moved her index finger, praised a few words, and couldn't wait to eat the rest of the fish.

The moonlight was good tonight, and Bai Mingqiu was a little greedy, so he walked to the window and leaned against the window to enjoy the moon.

"Mingqiu, do you like the moon?"

It's the voice of Mei Hong.

Bai Mingqiu didn't look back, and said softly: "Yes." ”

He paused, looking a little stunned.

"When I was alone before, I looked up at the moon, but I didn't know who I should think. Sometimes confused, sometimes painful, sometimes sad. But the moonlight is beautiful, like water, the kind that can flow into people's hearts, looking at the moon in the sky, even if no one wants to, the mood will unconsciously improve. ”

"We're all here now, and we'll be together for a long, long time in the future, won't we." Huiyin said softly, "Although the moonlight is beautiful, don't forget to look at us in the moonlight." ”

Bai Mingqiu suddenly looked back, the lights in the house were dim, Sister Hong sat cross-legged, Huiyin stroked her hair, they were bathed in the moonlight, and their expressions were gentle.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, and many words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

Bai Mingqiu has been in Gensokyo for more than a year, he is twenty-one years old this year, and he is likely to be only three and a half years old.

The reincarnation of being twenty-five years old and mysteriously dying because of something and starting over is likely to continue.

He was reluctant, reluctant to be red in Huiyin, reluctant to give up this incomparable fantasy township.

But he couldn't say this to Mei Hong and Huiyin.

He can tell other confidants and others, for example, he has already told Suwako and Yasaka Kanako about this matter before, on the one hand, because Shouya Shrine received a great favor from Bai Mingqiu, and the two gods were very good to Bai Mingqiu, and Bai Mingqiu concluded a good trust with them; On the other hand, because Bai Mingqiu felt that with such a magical reincarnation, maybe as gods, they could find some way.

He even thought about asking for help from Yayi Yonglin, or even Yayun Zi, although there may be no way to ask for help, but it never hurts to give it a try.

But for Mei Hong and Huiyin, there were many times when he wanted to say the last sentence, but when the words came to his mouth, he stopped talking, and finally swallowed it.

He knew that both of them were rare strange women in the world, and not only would he not be overly sad when he knew this, but he would also try his best to help him crack this reincarnation.

But.

Maybe it's selfishness.

He knew that Huiyin had experienced thousands of years of baptism and had already grown into Bai Ze, who thought he was stable and mature, and he also knew that Mei Hong had wandered alone for thousands of years, and she was extremely strong.

But every time the words came to his mouth, subconsciously, the distressing eyes of the little white beast appeared in front of him, and the girl lying on the bed with a pale face and hair.

He wanted to protect them, although he was nothing, although his protective heart would hurt them even more after he really left, but he wanted to at least now, every day, happy past.

At least for now, he didn't want to see them sad, not at all.

"Mingqiu, what's wrong?" Huiyin looked at Bai Mingqiu stunned, and asked.

"I guess I'm naïve." Bai Mingqiu's voice trembled slightly.

"Nope." My sister is concise and to the point.

"I... Very selfish. ”

"Mingqiu, what are you talking about?" Mei Hong frowned and said, "If you are selfish, this world will be full of stingy ghosts." ”

Huiyin was a little uneasy, Bai Mingqiu was definitely not such a person, he felt sorry for himself, he was depressed, and his body seemed to be scattered.

The moonlight hit Bai Mingqiu, and he seemed to be at a loss.

He was silent and did not answer.

Huiyin thought about it for a long time and thought about what happened to Mingqiu.

He was scared.

Although he didn't know what Mingqiu, who was not even afraid of life and death, was afraid of, he was indeed afraid of something.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mei Hong stretch out her hand, hold Bai Mingqiu's hand, and clench it tightly.

"Don't be afraid." Sister Hong said warmly.

She smiled slightly, also stretched out her hand, held Bai Mingqiu's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid."

Bai Mingqiu felt a warm current overflow from the intersection of his hands.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, I'm sorry." ”

Mei Hong shook her head, and Huiyin said with concern: "If there is anything, you can tell us." ”

Bai Mingqiu turned around, raised his head, and stared at the bright moon on the horizon, if you look carefully at the surface of the white moon, you can see little by little shadows.

He whispered, "Give me a little more time." ”

Mei Hong and Huiyin didn't see Bai Mingqiu's expression.

"That's it! Don't talk about that. Bai Mingqiu put away all the negative feelings and said with a smile, "Let's continue to help Mei Hong design moves today." ”

"Well, yesterday I remember it was the second form of the Burning Fireflies, right?" said Huiyin.

Mei Hong continued: "That trick is still a little flawed. ”

The three of them talked about business, but the worry in Huiyin Meihong's heart lingered for a long time.

There is a very fragile place in Lao Bai's heart, which is currently composed of four people, and may increase to six in the future.

That's about it, not much more.
