Quiet ——!

All the sounds seemed to be sucked out by the guests at the other tables, and there was only a dead silence here in Xia Ye and Lin Xi, and even chewing could not be done, because any slight sound would break this delicate atmosphere.

Although he doesn't know what to do right, he knows what is not right, such as saying sorry.

Just as he didn't want Lin Xi to say it before, now Lin Xi doesn't want him to say it either.

After thinking about it, there is only one way to think of a summer night: the best way to make a sad person no longer sad is to let her see someone who is more miserable than herself.

At least that's what he thinks.

1986…… Wasn't that the year of his goldfinger awakening? Xia Ye thought that his experience sounded much worse than Lin Xi's.

Brew feelings, organize your thoughts, consider your choice of words, and ...... Summer Night swallowed the roast meat in his mouth.

There was no way, he couldn't be like Lin Xi and he could still breathe clearly while eating, so he didn't dare to chew in the summer night in order to save time.

The swallowing sound seemed to be like a signal, and Lin Xi spoke: "It is precisely because of this that the guild took care of me in many ways, plus my parents had a wide range of friends during their lifetimes, and many guild members received a lot of help from them, so they took good care of me." ”

"Especially the old man thinks that he has a lot of responsibility for that incident back then, so he has always felt guilty about me, in the eyes of the old man, my father and my mother are like his biological children, and I am his biological granddaughter."

Summer Night took the opportunity to quickly take a sip of the drink.

"For example, not long after I came out of the shadows, I was attacked by the remnants of an illegal organization that my parents had defeated, and wanted to take revenge on me as their daughter after learning of their deaths."

"There happened to be a guild member by my side at the time, and he subdued all the attackers and reported them to the old man, who in a fit of rage personally took action to wipe out the remaining remnants of the sins.

Not only that, but he also thoroughly investigated the illegal summoners and organizations that had a grudge against my parents, and strangled all the factors that might harm me in the cradle. ”

Lin Xi's voice gradually became brisk.

"I don't know if it's because of the death of my parents, the old man suffered from victim paranoia, and after dealing with the grievances of my parents before their deaths, instead of being relieved, he was more worried, so he decided to attack the most wanted criminals and organizations who jumped the most."

"What should I say? Just as panic is contagious, the old man's worries spread to the members below.

Among them, several summoners who had a good relationship with my parents also followed the old man's example to accept relevant commissions related to illegal crimes, and then I don't know why the atmosphere of the entire guild has also changed in this direction. ”

At that time, this matter had a great impact on the continent of Alward.

First of all, the intermediary nature of the summoner's guild, the Ouroboros Snake, suddenly turned into a security organization to fight criminals, and then the strong support of the summoners association and the imitation of other forces and the cooperation of various countries made the public think that the wind direction of the Alward continent was blowing in the direction of "fighting the underworld and eliminating evil" recently.

Those who know a little bit about the inside story know that this is to eliminate the negative impact of the failure of the "icebreaking" operation, and to prevent the evil organizations hidden in the dark from taking the opportunity to disrupt order and provoke disputes.

Although the senior management of the association at that time did think so, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that the fuse of this incident was actually the attack on a seven-year-old girl.

"After the matter came to an end, I became more and more valued and cared for by the guild members."

"To keep me from being sad, my parents' names were never mentioned again, at least in front of me. Let me do everything, leave me everything delicious, and try your best to make me happy. ”

As soon as he thought that the dark time would appear with faces that were a little cute because of his clumsiness, the corners of Lin Xi's mouth were unconsciously overflowing with happiness, and the two little tiger teeth seemed to be shining.

Hearing this, Xia Ye already understood the similarities between Lin Xi and Xuehua and the differences with herself.

He once thought that Lin Xi might be the same kind of person as him, but now he knew that Lin Xi and Xuehua were actually the same kind of person, the type that has gathered many "loves" since birth.

Knowing this, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief and put the barbecue in her mouth again.

Fortunately, she was one step slower than her, otherwise she would have let the other party comfort herself.

"To be honest, although I'm very happy, but everyone is a little fuss, it's all the stinky old man's head, and all good things are stuffed into me, Yue'er is my father's birthday gift from my father's old friend, and the old man he gave is also a monarch-level cub.

And said that if I didn't have enough magic, they would have sent more than just cubs......"

The barbecue in my mouth suddenly doesn't smell good.

At this time, Xia Ye really wanted to see someone who was worse than himself, because in this way he could alleviate the faint sadness in his heart—strange!

"That's not good, isn't it?"

Lin Xi suddenly found that Xia Ye was so good-looking when he smiled.

His smile is the kind that comes from the heart, without a trace of impurities, and is purely warm for the happiness of others.

She suddenly remembered what someone had said to him before: There are two kinds of people in the world, one who wishes that the whole world will be as unlucky as him, and the other who hopes that others can be happy, because he also feels a little warm when he sees a happy person (1).

Lin Xi said at the time, but she is neither! Isn't it your own happiness that is more important than the happiness of others?

Then the man smiled and said, "That's because you're not alone!"

She remembered the look in the eyes he said at that time.

There is no smile at all!

To this day, Lin Xi still does not understand these two views, perhaps because she has never been a lonely person.

But seeing the smile on the summer night at this time, she more or less understood the warmth that the second type of person felt.

"But because of this, I have been crowned with the title of [Snake's Favorite Queen] since I was a child, and I won't go into details about how much trouble I have suffered."

Summer Night relieved, "You can see this as a sign of love for you. ”

"Too much love isn't a good thing, you know? There is an unwritten rule in the guild that I must be accompanied by a summoner of grade B or above when I carry out the commission, what is the difference between this and parents accompanying high school students to and from school? ”

Lin Xi would not say that when he was in high school, every time he went to and from school, he would meet guild members who "dropped by". Well, not once was an exception.

"Well, that's a bit ......," Summer Night's smile was a little bitter.

"Nana, for example, once she invited me to a very dangerous commission, and I thought she would finally stop treating me as a child, and it turned out to be the same.

I just watched Nana solve all the problems by herself when I was entrusted with that commission, and I still don't understand why she wanted to team up with me when she could solve it alone. ”

"It's not that I hate them, I just think they're too protective, and one day I'm going to prove to them that I'm not that weak kid anymore, but a great summoner."

Summer Night raised a glass: "Then speak with facts!" ”

"Well, come on! I'll grow to the point where I scare their eyeballs out of the way. Lin Xi held his drink aloft.

Xia Ye suddenly thought of something: "By the way, could it be that you are also entrusting you this time to prove your ability?" ”

"Hmm... Forget it! To be honest, there is indeed part of the reason why I want to prove myself, but more importantly, when I just passed the B-rank summoner exam and returned to Ouroboros, I heard that a B-rank summoner of my age had joined the guild.

Can you understand how I felt at the time? And ......"

Lin Xi seemed to be thinking of a suitable statement.

"And I feel like we're the same type of people."

Summer Night smiled silently, but denied it in her heart.

·

After the afternoon play, perhaps because of the reason for understanding each other's past, the relationship between the two was a lot closer, and Xia Ye also changed the name of Lin Xi.

"Qiqi, it's time to go back."

"Oh!"

Lin Xi seemed a little unsatisfied.

At this time, on a summer night, I "inadvertently" saw a mirror image of myself on the window mirror of the street shop.

In the mirror, he wears a mask on his face, a mask that symbolizes the "six realms of reincarnation".

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xi stood in front of Xia Ye, his amber eyes flashing with a hint of doubt.

Xia Ye walked up to her and smiled sideways: "It's nothing, let's go!" ”

When Lin Xi turned around to focus on him, the afterglow of Xia Ye's eyes reflected himself in the mirror...... next to it.

There - there is no one!

The two laughed along the way, and the setting sun stretched their shadows.

Suddenly, Lin Xi's shadow made a completely different movement from his body.

She (the shadow) glanced at him (the shadow).
