38. Of course, I choose to forgive him
When Bai Yi hid his cloak in a certain tree, he hurriedly carried a small box of sweets bought from the pastry shop in the south of the city to the girls' dormitory, at this time it was already completely dark, and the dim magic street lamp stretched his shadow long, and many students who came and went looked at him with strange eyes.
When he had just reached a certain fork in the road, he saw a small figure standing in the middle of the intersection, his face full of anxiety, forcing himself to muster up courage, holding a passing student or teacher, and saying in a tone that was about to cry: "Have you seen my Mr. Hope?" It's just a somewhat rudimentary-looking militia armor... It hasn't been long since he arrived, and I'm afraid he's lost in the academy..."
After receiving a negative answer, she shook her head slightly in disappointment, but refused to give up and continued to hold another student in the past, and continued to ask, "Have you seen my Mr. Hope?" He still didn't come back late and I was worried about him. ”
Judging by the fine sweat on her forehead and her already hoarse voice, she has been wandering here for a long time...
Maybe it was because she was a little tired, she stood alone under the magic lamppost with her head down, her beautiful big eyes were already full of tears, and she kept spinning, almost using her greatest strength to not cry on the spot, she quickly reached out and rubbed her eyes, quietly wiped away the irrepressible tears from the corners of her eyes, and then twitched her little nose, and continued to walk towards the next passerby.
In the reality plane at this moment, Miya is the only one who cares about Bai Yi like this, she will be anxious because of his late return, and she will cry because of his disappearance.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yi suddenly felt as if the softest part of his heart had been stabbed severely, and asked the Void Walkers who were also speechless in an extraordinarily stern and cold tone, "Who told me to go to the south of the city to buy desserts first?" If it weren't for the time wasted, I would have been back in time..."
"This... You don't blame us for this, do you? I just made a lot of money, and I snatched the female swordsman's storage bag... Wouldn't it be nice to bring back a gift for little Miya? I just didn't expect that there were so many people in that shop...", a voidwalker replied with some trepidation.
"Forget it... It's my fault. Bai Yi shook his head helplessly, and said reproachfully, "I shouldn't have been entangled with those two little guys for so long... I'm still a little too trusty. ”
"It's not your fault, either." The magician hurriedly reassured his only student, "You are doing this for her own good, and she cares about you too, this is a beautiful thing, isn't it?" It's just a little out of time, but I don't think there's a better way to comfort her than when you appear in front of her, okay, go ahead. ”
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward, and when Miya was about to step forward to grab another passerby, he took the first step to hold down her thin shoulder, and then gently took her small soft body into his arms, and then whispered softly: "Sorry Miya, I'm late to come back." ”
"Huh?" Miya's body stiffened suddenly, and then she hurriedly turned around, looking at the hope she had been looking for a long time appeared in front of her again, the little girl's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then changed back to a smile of relief and relaxation, hugged Bai Yi's waist tightly, rubbed her little face lightly on his rattan armor, and said while sobbing:
"Woo... Mr. Hope, I thought you were leaving me... I will definitely listen to your lessons carefully in the future and never desert again, so don't say goodbye like this again, okay? ”
These words simply added to the guilt in Bai Yi's heart, and he hurriedly touched Miya's little head with rough cowhide gloves, and whispered: "Don't worry, Miya, I will never leave you..."
After Miya held Bai Yi's hand all the way back to the dormitory, Bai Yi took out the box of desserts with some embarrassment, put it in front of her, and said in a natural tone as much as possible: "This, bought from the store in the south of the city, we won't have classes tonight, take a good rest, right?" ”
"Huh?" Miya looked at this beautifully packaged pastry box with some surprise, reached out to untie the ribbon tied on the surface, opened the box, and saw the neatly placed pieces of cat's claw biscuits underneath, constantly exuding a rich aroma.
"I remember these pastries are very expensive..."Miya looked at Bai Yi with some puzzlement, "How did Mr. Hope buy it?" Even after the long-awaited sweet temptation, the little girl still cared about this kind of problem first.
"Hmm... That's right, after you went to class, I went to the library again, and I happened to meet a few female students who wanted to go up to the second floor of the library, so I pointed to them, and they gave me this to express their gratitude... It's just that there are too many people in that store, so it takes a lot of time. Bai Yi hurriedly weaved a clumsy lie.
Fortunately, this flawed cover temporarily deceived the simple Xiao Miya, or out of trust in Bai Yi, she would not have thought about the obvious things that were wrong in her words, so she patted her small chest and said with a sigh of relief: "So that's the case, it seems that I am worried in vain, I thought that Mr. Hope went out to make money behind my back..."
Not... This little guy guessed so accurately... Bai Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, turned his head slightly, and asked tentatively, "Can't the soul armor go out to make money?" ”
"It's the responsibility of the Soul Armorer." Miya said very seriously, "Especially like Mr. Hope, you shouldn't worry about money, just leave it to me... Actually, there are a lot of places in the academy where I can make money, such as helping teachers copy handouts, doing chores for the kitchen, etc., I can also do these things. ”
Would this girl rather do the hard work herself than let me find money? Bai Yi secretly sighed at Xiao Miya's kindness in his heart, and said very seriously: "Miya doesn't have to do those things, didn't the academy give me a subsidy?" ”
"But I still really want to change Mr. Hope's body..."Miya's small mouth turned up slightly, looking a little unhappy, but this appearance has become a little cuter.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about those things later." Bai Yi hurriedly diverted this unpleasant topic, pointed to the cat's paw biscuits in the pastry box and said, "Let's try it." ”
"Uh-huh!" Miya nodded vigorously, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed a cat's claw biscuit that looked particularly cute, and just wanted to send it to the side of the small mouth, but immediately thought of something, and quickly raised her head, and made a gesture to hand the biscuit to Bai Yi to eat first, but realized that Bai Yi couldn't eat... It looked a little awkward for a while.
Bai Yi looked at her cramped but extremely well-behaved appearance, couldn't help but smile in his heart, and said, "Don't worry about me, Miya, you can eat it yourself." ”
"Oh..."Miya whispered, and wanted to pass the biscuit to her mouth again, but suddenly remembered something and stopped, put the biscuit back, and then took out the small handkerchief in her skirt pocket to wipe the grease stains off her hand, and walked quickly to the wardrobe under the gaze of Bai Yi's puzzled gaze, and took out a roll of navy blue cloth from it?
Miya returned to Bai Yi with this roll of cloth with a very ordinary texture, and unfolded it in front of him, this is actually a cloak that has been simply cut?
"Hehe, this was originally bought by the dormitory manager aunt to make new curtains, but it turned out to be a little longer, so I asked for the extra part and sewed a cloak for Mr. Hope, in this way, Mr. Hope will look a lot more energetic, right? I'll put it on for you first. Miya smiled a little smugly, lifted the simple cloak and walked behind Bai Yi, and buttoned the two buttons at the top of the cloak into the gap between the shoulders of the rattan armor.
"I'm not very good at my craft, I hope Mr. won't laugh at me." Xiao Miya continued to talk behind Bai Yi, and then carefully straightened the cloak for him, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and said happily: "In this case, I hope that Mr. will be much more conspicuous, and everyone can easily recognize you." ”
Bai Yi glanced at the stitches on the cloak that were a little messy, but he poured into the girl's heart, silently turned his head, and looked at Miya's little hand, and sure enough, there were several fine needle eyes on it, which were particularly eye-catching on her jade onion fingertips.
Miya suddenly noticed Bai Yi's gaze, and hurriedly hid her hand behind her back, not daring to let him continue to look at it, and suddenly smiled reluctantly on her face, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Bai Yi was silent, speechless.
Miya found that Bai Yi was silent, and suddenly said with some worry: "What's wrong, Mr. Hope?" Sure enough, it's because it's too simple, don't you like it very much? That... Then I'll go to the dormitory manager to help...", she wanted to take the cloak back and send it for cutting.
Bai Yi pressed her shoulder again, and said in a very serious and serious tone: "No need Miya, I like this cloak very much, this is the best gift I have ever received, I will always wear it, thank you, Miya." ”
His words were indeed sincere, and compared to the valuable storage bag he snatched from Wentini, this cloak was his most valuable gain today.
"Originally, I thought that after a long prison sentence, we Voidwalkers would no longer be moved by anything, and our hearts were as cold as this endless void. But it wasn't until today that I realized we were all wrong. The magician also said in his consciousness very seriously, "In addition to the so-called power, there are still many beautiful things worth pursuing and cherishing. ”
