Outside, it was raining at night.

Knocking on the eaves with a crackling sound.

Inside the house.

The two men sat in one corner each, silent.

After half a year, when we meet again.

I don't know what kind of identity and what kind of relationship to treat each other.

Only silence can dispel the complex feelings in the heart.

……

I stepped into the house with the joy of meeting the old people, but I unexpectedly saw a familiar but unfamiliar face among many familiar faces.

Kim still had the same brown hair, and his blue eyes looked straight at her with a happy light, and the corners of his lips couldn't hide a smile.

The only change is that he actually grows a beard and looks a lot more mature.

The smile on Han Qingluo's face disappeared for some reason, and he even wanted to escape, avoiding Jin's hot gaze.

Jue was also a little surprised by Jin's appearance, seeing Han Qingluo stunned for a moment, and there was no trace of ecstasy when the former lovers met.

She didn't say hello to the others, but walked straight into the inner room. Jue wanted to stop her, but Weiqi's lips still chose to close. Turning his head and greeting the members of the old department, he greeted warmly.

In the afterglow, he saw Kim's figure and chased him into the back room.

……

Listen to the sound of the rain outside.

Han Qingluo lowered the hat on his head, trying his best to suppress himself from looking at Jin's expression at the moment.

"Long time no see, Luo."

Kim sat across from her, his throat moving nervously, and he endured it for a long time before he spoke.

For him, his Lo seemed to have changed a lot, and that face no longer had the air of an innocent girl when he was in the Night Castle, but had become dark and rough after being weathered.

The familiar long hair seemed to be deliberately hidden under her hat, and the men's clothes made him almost unrecognizable at first sight.

In addition to the joy of meeting again, for Han Qingluo, Jin has more doubts in his heart: What happened to her during this time?

Will she blame herself for not taking her in the first place?

Will the two of them ever be able to go back to the way they were......

As if feeling a little cold, Han Qingluo tightened the cloak on his body, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Jin, and said, "Long time no see!" ”

The tone was so cold that she herself felt shocked and surprised.

The alienation and indifference in her eyes were clearly conveyed to Kim, and the loss quickly filled his heart, and Kim felt a little at a loss, and for some reason it was such a scene when they met again.

He rehearsed the meeting of the two countless times in his mind, and no matter which time, she had a smile on her face and kissed him deeply.

Perhaps, he is too confident in this relationship!

"Aren't you happy?" Kim stood up and slowly approached her, "Because, see me." ”

Raising his hand to cover the hat on his head, Han Qingluo stood up uneasily, deliberately kept his distance from Jin, and said with a dodging gaze: "No, I'm very happy, it's just that I haven't seen each other for too long, I'm a little uncomfortable!" ”

Looking at the vacant position in front of him, Jin was very uncomfortable, sighed almost invisibly, turned around, and looked at Han Qingluo who circled behind him: "Are you afraid of my approach?" ”

"I think." Han Qingluo lowered his eyes and looked at his muddy feet, "Yes! ”

"Why?" Kim's questioning is full of loss and sadness.

His grief hit Han Qingluo's heart, and she didn't know why she was alienating him, she only felt that her chest was very tight, as if she had been greatly wronged, and tears were accumulating in her eyes.

Jin took advantage of her stunned moment, rushed up and hugged her directly from behind: "I miss you so much, I really miss you!" ”

Because of Jin's touch, Han Qingluo's suppressed emotions exploded, tears burst out of his eyes, sliding down his cheeks and chin, and his body trembled incessantly because of crying.

When Jin heard her crying, he also panicked, and hurriedly let go of her, ran to her, and held her tear-wet face in a panic: "Why are you crying, are you so disgusted with me?" ”

His actions squeezed the hat off Han Qingluo's head, Han Qingluo was stunned, and Jin was also stunned.

He asked blankly, "Where's your hair?" ”

Han Qingluo's eyes widened with tears, and the ghost envoy raised his right hand to give Jin a slap, and after the beating, she looked at the numb palm, she was stunned again.

Why, am I doing this?

Shouldn't I be happy?

Why?

Han Qingluo was so confused that he picked up the hat that had fallen and put it back on in a panic.

Jin covered his face, looked at Han Qingluo's flustered appearance, grabbed her hands and put them on his face: "You fight, I know you complained that I didn't take you away, it's my fault!" ”

I didn't like his paranoid appearance at the moment, Han Qingluo wanted to get his hand out of his control: "Jin, don't be like this, I don't blame you, can you let go of me first?" ”

"Hit me! If that makes you feel better! Kim was like a madman, squeezing her hand tightly.

During the struggle, the glove on Han Qingluo's left hand fell off, and the glove was given to her to cover up the broken finger injury. She immediately hid her left hand behind her back, and the expression on her face became extremely unnatural.

Holding the glove, the position of the ring finger was still hard, Jin thought that he was strong enough to break her fingers, and hurriedly grabbed her left hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" ”

Han Qingluo raised his right hand sadly and angrily and slapped him again, and raised his left hand violently to show it in front of his eyes: "Look! You have seen all my tragedies, you are satisfied! Anything else you want to ask? ”

As he spoke, Han Qingluo took off his hat again, revealing his hairless head, and showed him his ugliest side: "Do you have to let me destroy the last bit of dignity to be satisfied?" Why ask! Why ruin the last vestige of my good fortune in your mind? ”

"I'm not the same person I used to be!"

Han Qingluo shouted, snatched the gloves from his hand and put them on, put on his hat, and rushed out of the door angrily.

Looking at the door that was still shaking, Jin couldn't get out of the shock, he rushed to the door unwillingly, but was blocked by Jue who appeared.

"Don't bother her, she-she doesn't need you!"

The disgust on Jue's face was undisguised, he was not welcome to his appearance.

Jin stared at Jue's disgusted eyes, and the hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into fists: "You are not qualified to care about me and Luo's affairs!" ”

"You gave up on her own initiative!"

Jue didn't back down in the slightest, and his cold purple-gold eyes revealed a coercion.

"I ......" Kim wanted to retort, but felt that there was no need to explain to anyone.

"I thought you would understand something after that duel, but alas—" Jue sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity that you're still the same." ”

Under Jin's dissatisfied gaze, Jue made a sound for Gray Eyes to look at him, and then turned around and walked out of the door, stepping into the rainy night, to find Han Qingluo who ran out.

The quarrel between the two of them was heard clearly by everyone in the compartment, and it was a very happy thing for old friends to meet, but because of this little episode, the atmosphere became depressing.

This is an old man meeting, it is simply an enemy meeting.

Jin Xin knew that when he went out now, he would add fuel to the fire, and he was no longer stubborn, sitting in the back room and sulking, and at the same time regretting that he was too emotional when he saw Han Qingluo, and he inadvertently hurt her.

……

As soon as he stepped out of the house, Jue found Han Qingluo squatting under the eaves at the door to hide from the rain.

She curled up, her chin resting on her knees.

I thought she would run into the rain and get a shower, but I didn't expect to squat under the eaves.

Jue chuckled, leaned over to her side, squatted down, and teased: "You're quite smart." ”

Han Qingluo wiped away a tear that slipped down his face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a thick nasal voice: "I'm not stupid, why should I hurt myself?" ”

"I just like smart people!" Jue took off the cloak on his body and gathered in front of her, "So, be careful not to get sick, our big business is not done yet!" ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Han Qingluo tightened the cloak he handed over, and his mood was relieved.

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared in the continuous rain of the night, and its steps were hurrying, coming in their direction......

Outside.

Soaked Elk, conveyed the Prince's order to Galo, and then began to complain: "Lord Earl, it is too difficult to find you, if it were not for the help of Nophil, I am afraid I would have been looking for it for a hundred years!" ”

Garlo patted him on the shoulder, "Good work, Elk. ”

Then he pushed the door open and walked into the house.

"I'm sorry, but I suddenly received an order from my father to rush back to Croatia as soon as possible, so let's leave it at that!"

Elke, who was on the side, looked different, leaned into Garlo's ear, and whispered, "Your Excellency wants you to take them with you." With that, he stepped aside.

"What?" Gallo yelled at him loudly, "You told everything? ”

Elke smiled weakly, showing an aggrieved look: "I can't be blamed for this, I can't disobey the words of the prince...... Of course, Lord Count, I dare not disobey your words. ”

"Don't dare to disobey, and report it to my father!" Garlo was so angry that he wanted to draw the sword at his waist.

Although Jue is an alien invader, but after getting along with each other during this time, he knows that they are not bad guys, although from a hundred years ago, the Demon Party and the Secret Party are hostile to each other.

However, he wanted to keep this friendship that transcended party spirit, not to mention that they had helped him and were comrades-in-arms who had experienced life and death.

He knew his father's character, he was an elder of the blood clan, strictly abided by the six precepts of the secret party, and the punishment for invaders was always direct execution.

Bloodlines outside of the Secret Party will not be tolerated invading the territory under his jurisdiction. Even the blood clans in other territories must be informed in advance, otherwise he will be severely punished.

If they return to the land of Croia with him, they will not be able to keep everything by his power alone, and they may not be able to save themselves even themselves.

So, the only way is not to go back!

"I'm sorry, Elk, I'm afraid I can't go back with you, and my friends, too!"

Elk had long expected this outcome, and he would be punished by the prince if he went back alone anyway, so why not follow Galo, but fortunately he closed his eyes: "Lord Earl, in order to show loyalty, I agree with your idea and support you!" I'm with you! ”

Galo didn't expect Elk to turn around so quickly, a little confused, and looked at the people around him: "Did I hear me right?" ”
