Chapter 60: The Distance of the Heart

"Eh————!"

Asuna showed a panicked expression and took a few steps back.

It seems that he didn't expect Xia Qianshi to suddenly say such bold words, and this usually heroic and sassy swordsman rarely showed a helpless look.

She waved her hands in a panic, her small cherry blossom-like mouth open, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

The faint color of red quickly spread on her pretty face, and if a special effect was added, it was estimated that smoke would be on her head.

After a while, she managed to calm down, and whispered courageously, "But...... We...... I'm not married yet. ”

"Knot...... Marriage? ”

Xia Qianshi was stunned, and then suddenly said "ah", and his face began to become a little unnatural.

With a light cough, he was a little afraid to look at Asuna's expression, and said, "That...... I didn't mean that...... I just wish you could stay here while I sleep......"

“……”

A pair of extremely sinister eyes shone over, Xia Qianshi could feel that an unprecedented crisis had befallen him, if there was a slight omission in the next words, the end would definitely be extremely miserable!

So, he also said with an open-minded attitude: "Actually...... I had been alone all this time, whether it was eating or sleeping, there was nothing but the roar of monsters and monsters...... So...... How so...... That one...... I miss being with you so much! ”

After saying this sentence incoherently, Xia Qianshi felt as if he had fought with a hundred two-headed giants, panting violently, and at the same time, a huge sense of shame rose from the bottom of his heart.

Asuna looked at Xia Qianshi's face in a daze, and suddenly laughed out loud.

The laughter grew louder and louder, and she even bent down with laughter: "Giggle...... Cluck...... I didn't expect you to have such a cute side. ”

"Hey!" Xia Qianshi's dissatisfied voice.

"Okay, I'll stay with you."

Asuna sat down on the edge of the bed again, her hazel-colored eyes smiling, "Do you want me to sing you another lullaby?" ”

Xia Qianshi simply stopped talking, turned over, and didn't look at her face.

Soon, however, he felt his hand being held by two warm little hands.

"Sleep in peace, I'm here, and I'll never leave."

An extremely heart-warming sense of tenderness struck, making Xia Qianshi feel extremely relieved and comfortable, and soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

The only oil lamp on the table glowed faintly, and the room was filled with a warm and slightly drunken atmosphere.

A faint light shone on Xia Qianshi's face, and Asuna was a little distracted, staring at this face full of heroic spirit.

Xia Qianshi said that she missed the life with her at the beginning, why shouldn't she?

Met him a year ago. After another two months, I really had a crush on him. Over the next 10 months, the goodwill became more and more fragrant like an aged wine. It's plain, but it's very real, and it's intoxicating before you know it.

In the month when Xia Qianshi disappeared, what she spent the most time doing every day was to stay in front of the metal tablet in the [Resurrection Room], so she could rush to Xia Qianshi's side as soon as he returned.

That month was definitely the month that scared her the most.

But now, she is somewhat grateful for that time.

Originally, in Asuna's eyes, Xia Qianshi was a giant.

He can shelter people from the wind and rain, and he will always stand.

But now, she knew that no matter how strong Xia Qianshi was, he was just a big boy after all.

He can also be afraid of loneliness and feel lost.

Maybe Xia Qianshi will never know that Asuna's smile just now was not to make fun of his words, but to laugh happily.

"I'm really glad you can say that to me, and I'm really happy to stay here with you, because it makes me more real and touches your heart......"

Asuna used her delicate fingers to gently remove Xia Qianshi's bangs, staring at the slightly childish face that was sleeping deeply.

The hazel-colored eyes shimmered with fluorescence, as if they were completely trapped in something.

……

……

When he woke up from his sleep, Xia Qianshi felt that his body was a little heavy, and when he opened his eyes, he found Asuna sleeping on top of him.

Looking at the time, I actually slept for 12 hours.

That is, Asuna has been guarding the bedside for 12 hours?

A faint warm current surged in his heart, but his attention was quickly attracted by another thing.

The news of his return to the game has been spread by players who attended the funeral before.

Now, his friends who have received the news have sent greetings one after another.

Kirito: "Brother Chishi, are you at home?" Is it convenient for me to come over now? ”

Luck: "Lord Xia Qianshi, are you okay now?" I want to come and visit you. ”

Achill: "You're finally back, and I knew you weren't going to die." ”

“……”

Xia Qianshi felt warmer and warmer in his heart, and although there were many people who greeted him, he still replied to the past one by one.

Like Kirito and Xing, who are relatively close, they made an appointment to meet outside later; But for others, there was only a polite thank-you.

When he looked up after all this, he found Asuna looking at him with hazel-colored eyes that were still a little confused.

"When did you wake up?" Xia Qianshi asked.

"Just when you were texting someone." Asuna replied, and then asked in passing, "Who are you messaging with?" ”

"Kirito them." Xia Qianshi said: "I asked them to meet at the bar outside later. ”

"Hmm...... Let's just meet at home. Asuna nodded her chin and said, "I'm going to cook." ”

"Don't you have to rest a little longer?"

"No, I'm in good spirits right now!"

Asuna stood up, made an energetic pose, and then smiled with her tongue out in some embarrassment.

Xia Qianshi also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Kirito and them now, and change the location of the party to home." ”

The two of them got up, freshened up, and went to the living room on the first floor.

Asuna disarmed and walked into the kitchen wearing an apron instead, while Xia Qianshi sat down on the soft sofa, picked up the newspaper on the table and began to read.

In the twilight of winter, this simple room is filled with a warm and slightly drunken atmosphere.
