Chapter 223: Sorry for not saying

On one of the steps of the town, there are no buildings nearby, and the surrounding area is very open, and you can see most of the lighted streets in the distance. Anchen sat alone on the bench on the steps, his hair beading with a little water, swaying lightly in the breeze. In her black eyes, a little warm red light flickered brightly and dimly. At the foot of the bench, a small green grass hid in the corner, hanging low in the shadow of the chair.

It was already some distance from the lively assembly, and looking at the street in the light, it was very quiet, and the sound from the street in the distance was no longer audible. The sensational movement of the crowd could only be seen faintly.

"Why are you here alone?" A deep male voice approached with footsteps.

Anchen looked back and saw Zelas standing behind her in a shallow puddle of water.

"Where's Ash?" Zelas asked lightly, silently stepped forward, and sat down beside Anchen.

"Ash." An Chen pointed in one direction: "She went to buy a drink." โ€

"That's it."

After that, there was a long silence, only a vague wind, and a distant bell echoing,

Both of them are not good at finding topics, sitting together, and always can't talk about anything.

The starlight and lights decorate the night beautifully, and the halo of light spreads in the dark night, adding a charming color to the already deep dark night.

It was quiet, and Anchen gently rested her head on Zelas's shoulder.

Zelas's shoulders stiffened, subconsciously trying to dodge, glanced at Anchen on his shoulder, but stopped, and sat down again in silence.

"Zeroth..." In the light, Anchen's black eyes flashed with a vague and dreamy shimmer.

"Huh?"

"I was thinking, if only I could do it all the time." Anchen said, silently closing his eyes.

The evening breeze is light and cool.

Zelas didn't know what to say, and in the end, he just nodded stiffly: "Ahh โ€

The light rain was blowing, and the streets far away were immersed in a warm light, and laughter was heard.

Zeroth sat beside Anchendi, silent.

The family of Zelas were slaves, and slaves were not eligible for any festivals at the time. When I was a child, whenever it came to such a time, Zelas's father would take Zelas to sit in the corner and watch from afar.

Every time he sat beside his father, looking at the unreachable lights of thousands of homes, as if looking at it, he could feel that kind of happiness.

"Anchen." Confused, Zelas suddenly said, "If one day you find out that I've been lying to you, will you, blame me?" โ€

There was silence all around, and Zelas didn't hear a reply.

He lowered his head, but found that Anchen was leaning on his shoulder, breathing shallowly, like a small beast, and had already fallen asleep.

Zelas looked at the sleeping Anchen blankly, for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "Well, forget it." โ€

"Bump."

There was a distant soft sound, and a red flame accompanied by an end flame burst up from the street, soaring straight upwards in the rain, and finally exploded. The brilliant firelight illuminated the sky, as well as the dark blue runes beneath Zelath's hood.

Zelas tilted his head and looked at the fireworks in the sky, and he didn't know who he was whispering to, and his voice was gentle: "You, but you've missed the best part." โ€

Beautiful flames dragged in the sky, embers and glimmers of light slowly fell, like a rain of fire. Anchen snored lightly, saliva from the corners of his mouth wetting Zelas's robes. Countless flames flew into the sky, bloomed for a moment of splendor, and then retreated from the stage in flames. I don't know how long it took for the sky to be completely calm again.

Looking into the empty air, the strip of cloth on Zelas's face was trembling in the breeze.

"Mr. Zeroth." Ash took two bottles of water and walked over slowly.

Ash walked up to the two of them and placed a bottle of water beside Anchendi, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Zeroth asked.

"I'm here to say goodbye." Ash looked at Anchen, who had already fallen asleep, hesitated, and said with a smile.

The rally was over, the lights were slowly fading, and the crowd was silently dispersed.

"Have you ever thought about this guy?" Zeroth said, stretching out a hand and opening a soundproofing spell in Anchen's ear, he didn't want Anchen to be woken up at this time. But he didn't see it, An Chen's eyelashes trembled.

"I'm sorry." Ash's smile was a little bitter: "It's just that I don't want to lie to her anymore." โ€

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked An Chen's sideburns hanging down her cheeks: "This idiot, she believes me unreservedly in whatever I say." โ€

Ash stared at Anchen's side face, half loud, and reached out to untie a red rope from his little finger.

Squatted down, carefully wrapped it around An Chendi's hand, and whispered softly in An Chendi's ear: "When you regain your memory, I will come to you again, and at that time, I will never let you run away again." โ€

Ash left, and Zelas sat beside Anchendi, sitting in a daze.

After a while, he sighed, carefully helped An Chen up, unlocked the soundproofing technique, and then leaned down and carried her on his back, stood up, and said to himself, "It's not early, let's go home." โ€

The lonely and silent footsteps sounded on the remote path and faded away.

After the sun turned to ashes and turned into this ghostly appearance, Zelas never heard his footsteps again, but this night, he heard his footsteps again, felt his presence, felt like a real person. There is a sentient being.

"Zeroth..." Suddenly Zelas heard a voice over his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw An Chen's eyes hanging blankly, staring at the ground, his face buried in his shoulder.

In fact, Anchen had already woken up very early, but she had been pretending to be asleep just listening to Ash's words. But because of Zelas's soundproof barrier, Anchen didn't hear Ash's last words. All she knew was that Ash gave her back the rope and left.

"Zeroth, you're not leaving, are you?" An Chen's weak voice trembled a little, and he asked tentatively as if he was afraid of something.

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€ Zelas didn't dare to answer, and walked step by step in the night with the girl behind him on his back.

After a long time, he whispered, "No." โ€

"Guaranteed."

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

"Well, I promise..."

The wind swept a blade of grass and flew far away beside them.

Zelas looked at the road in front of him and walked heavily.

I've read everyone's comments yesterday. There's no need to be so pessimistic, it's just a different place to write. For a book that is motivated by my interest, it is actually similar to where it is written, and it is impossible to think about success. Some readers said that I should put it on the starting point, but then I would have to charge for that. I've agreed before that everyone will let everyone watch it for free, and I can't do anything else, so I want to at least do this little thing. Including reading in the tower, I also understand that you can get paid for the manuscript without going to the shelves, and you can still watch it for free. As for the question, are these manuscript fees really so important to me? Well, actually, no. The main reason is that my family is not wealthy, and my parents are also very hard. So I thought I could help my parents if I could. It won't be much, but at least it will make them worry less about me. University tuition fees are quite a lot, and together with living expenses, it will be a significant expense. If I can have a income of my own, I can more or less take on some of my own responsibilities. In the end, if I go to the tower to read, the book here will be deleted, and it will be updated there, and it won't start from the first chapter, but QQ reading, the starting point should be that I can't see my book. (Here I will secretly tell you some of my own careful thoughts, I am going to take the college entrance examination now, and the update will be very slow, so I sold this book to Ta Reading, to make a book sale money, and about to write tens of thousands of words is actually going to be finished, concentrate on preparing for the exam.) When the time comes, after the exam, I will go back to the starting point to open a new second part, and pick up the plot of this book, be smart haha. Although the pit man is very embarrassed, he actually said hello to the editor, not a pit, well. ๏ผ‰
