I guess I went outside alone, soaked in an Internet café or a playground, and forgot to return.

She also considered whether she should contact her mother, but still found it inconvenient for her mother to worry too much. What's more, Anno is not a child anymore. In short, if she met her another day, she would still look like she was going to die, so she would teach her a hard lesson - Xia Jing made a decision in his heart.

"And you're no better. It's not encouraging to go out on the street alone."

Xia Jing sighed lightly and faced Ye Ya again.

"Don't worry. I've got weapons with me, and besides, the Prosperity Faction won't be in this town......

"That's not the point."

Maybe it was annoyed by Anye's question that he wanted to get angry, and a feeling of impetuousness arose.

So Xia Jing couldn't help but say his true words.

"I know you're strong. It's not the kind of three-legged cat that will be dealt with in three or two clicks. The question is...... I don't want to see you attacked without my knowledge. Since you're coming, why don't you let me know beforehand? I'm not going to be able to pick you up."

Xia Jing was mentally prepared, and this unceremonious accusation might make Ye Ya turn his face. However, I am the one who is angry right now anyway, and I still have to say what I need to say after all. Xia Jing looked at Ye Ya while thinking about such thoughts, but unexpectedly, she was stunned and said, "...... Which tendon is wrong with you today, to be so gentle?"

"Huh?"

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Oh, of course I know you're a gentle, good man, but ......."

Then, a flush flew on Ye Ya's cheeks, and his gaze drifted to the other side, looking inexplicably uneasy.

- Miserable.

Looks like she had accidentally touched her strange button.

This person obviously usually shows his good impression and treats meat and hemp as funny, but now he suddenly puts on a shy attitude, which makes Xia Jing feel embarrassed.

Ye Ya also seemed to feel embarrassed, and began to sit still and wander her gaze.

"Ah, do you have a yard?"

Seeing the glass door facing the living room, Ye Ya said in an unnatural tone.

"No, it's just a yard, it's nothing unusual."

"Ugh...... Can I take a tour?"

Even the skill of changing the subject is bad enough.

Having said that, the two of them continued to be cowardly like this, which only increased the awkwardness, and the atmosphere was really awkward.

"Okay."

Xia nodded in agreement and stood up. Open the glass door and invite Yaya.

「…… I'll tell you nothing to see first."

The yard at home is not luxurious at all. It's hard to define the size of a patio or a balcony, but my parents are quite keen on gardening, so it looks pretty neat.

Ye Ya sat down in the edge corridor.

"What's that?"

She pointed to the grass in the corner on her right.

"Vanilla. They are so vigorous that they give my parents a lot of headaches."

"Is that weird-shaped flower over there?"

"Haven't you seen tulips?"

It's true that there are no tulips in the courtyard of the Lost House, but there are no even in the village?

"There are so many interesting flowers and plants."

"The flowers in the flower beds change with the seasons and are replanted with hyacinths and stuff...... But I don't really understand it. Even if you ask one by one, I won't be able to answer half of it."

"Can I go down and have a look?"

"Remember to wear slippers over there."

Xia Jing walked down to the courtyard with Ye Ya.

Xia Jing himself hasn't been to the yard for a long time.

When I was a child, I used to play here, but as I grew older, I didn't go to the yard more and more. In fact, he didn't even water the flowers half a time. Because the parents only started playing with flowers and plants after her sister disappeared - watering the flowers felt like helping them escape reality, and Xia Jing just didn't like it for no reason.

After growing so big, I took a good look at it, and suddenly felt that the yard had become so small.

Did the parents plant flowers and plants in such a small yard in order to forget the pain of losing their daughter? Or by planting flowers and grass, reminiscing about the old days when my daughter and young son played here?

Ye Ya suddenly showed interest in the trees in the corner of the yard.

"It's Tsubaki."

"That's right."

Remember that this tree has been around for a long time. But since my parents started planting Western-style flowers, the tree has been out of place in this yard. For this Tsubaki tree, it must feel that it is being dominated by anti-guests.

Tsubaki trees have flowers in full bloom. Xia Jing was a little surprised, did the flowering period of Tsubaki flowers last as long as early spring? However, the flowers are few and begin to wither. It seems to be just a return to the past.

"I love Tsubaki."

Ye Ya squatted down in front of the tree, stared at the flowers, and said, "Because that's my sister's name."

"What kind of person is your sister?"

"Ahh She is strong and kind, and she looks like a fairy. I'm a great person who can't be compared."

The praise of the distant old man made Xia Jing's heart ache.

Sure enough, the truth is as Shazi said - this guy is convinced that his sister's illness can be cured.

She must have sworn that as the second daughter, she would never give birth to a step-heir. It's just because she respects her sister and thinks that doing so will damage her sister's face.

Xia Jing couldn't hold himself and squatted down beside Ye Ya.

A pile of flowers fell to the ground alone.

It was as if she wanted Ye Ya to look at it.

As if to show the most beautiful moment of the incense and jade funeral to her.

At this time—

Seeing Tsubaki fall to the ground, Ye Ya smiled heartily.

"It's beautiful."

Suddenly.

- It's beautiful.

With a strong sense of déjà vu.

A snow-white scene came to Xia Jing's mind.

「…… Huh?"

It's too abrupt.

It was like a punch to the head.

Or like being caressed on the cheek.

A memory that has never been recalled—nay, completely forgotten—is slowly revived as if it had risen from the bottom of the water.

- Is there no Nan Tianzhu?

Someone asked him this. Why?

- I'm going to be a snow hare.

Someone told him this. Who is it?

- You are so lively and energetic.

A young girl in Hanfu. The hair is black and shiny.

- Xia Jing, is it? Good name.

is the same age as Xia Jing, who was still a child back then, and spoke in a particularly pleasant and respectful tone-

"Yaya, let me ask you."

Xia Jing asked the girl beside him with a blank expression.

"You...... Have you ever left the village before?"

"Why do you ask such an abrupt question, and what's the point of asking this?"

Ye Ya replied with a surprised expression. Xia Jing didn't give up and continued to ask, "When I was a child. Have you left the village and come to town...... Is it?"

"Well, I'll tell you the truth."

Not understanding the true meaning of Xia Jing's question, Ye Ya smiled.

"When I was a child, I was a wild girl who didn't obey discipline, and I was very curious."

Ye Ya talked about the past as if she had begun to think about the past.

"I once carried my parents and Mrs. Sand behind my back and sneaked down the mountain to wander around the human world...... It's just that they are often immediately caught and taken back to the village."

"Do you remember? That ......."

"No, I don't remember that much. Only the method of escaping the eyes of the elders was desperately figured out, so there are still some impressions...... As for what happened when I came to town, I forgot all about it except for wandering around in a hurry."

"yes, you don't remember."

And of course, of course.

Xia Jing himself also forgot it cleanly - he didn't remember it until just now.

「…… Do you have any doubts?"

"Nope."

Xia Jing shook his head.

"Don't take it personally, sorry for the strange question."

There was no need to force her to recall the past, as long as she remembered it.

Ye Ya, who always likes you, is embarrassed to listen to the meaty words that make people feel embarrassed.

She likes Xia Jing's heart, and in the past, Xia Jing always felt as if he owed her a love.

So this memory is Xia Jing's hidden bargaining chip when facing Ye Ya.

She didn't have any impression at all, only the memories that Xia Jing still remembered-

Xia Jing didn't believe in the word fate.

I never think that God has long arranged the future of man.

However, if the so-called fate refers to the future appearance derived by chance

If it is said that it is fate to meet again with the accident of childhood-

Well, I guess I can use this memory as a reason.

Just let the heart that once skipped for her in her childhood, jump again, right?

"Xia Jing, what's weird about you?"

Ye Ya looked dumbfounded.

That expression overlapped with the young girl when my sister was holding the red beads and adding eyes to the snow rabbit.

"Which tendon is it...... Huh?"

It's not because there's that motivation in the first place, it's as if it's naturally attracted.

Xia Jing pecked Ye Ya lightly.

He threw Fang Yuan out of the clouds, and at this moment he was only thinking about Ye Ya.

In an instant, it was dark.

Ya continued to sit for a while, and then went back to the lost house. The atmosphere between the two was not as awkward as Xia Jing had feared, and Ye Ya's attitude was usually natural—at least in Xia Jing's eyes.

After Xia Jing returned to his room, he re-engaged in the homework of repeatedly testing Jin Zhi, so as to change his mood. Now there is hardly anything left unscathed in the entire room.

However, Xia Jing believes that his hard work has paid off. I feel that I now have the ability to achieve a completely different way of fighting than before. He even began to think that if he had noticed this earlier, he would have won more easily when he fought Nangong - he was extremely grateful to Anye's father in his heart.

It's just that strange phenomena have also been encountered.

It happened when Xia Jing scratched the assembled appliances in the room and tried to change the shape into shape.

Suddenly—a wonderful picture, as if halfway into view, came to mind. Even whether the picture is in color or black and white, Xia Jing can't figure it out. It was a very hazy image. At first glance, Xia Jing was confused, and when he looked back carefully after the image disappeared, the picture felt as if all the parts of the household appliances were disassembled and lined up together. The same has happened several times when manipulating other items.

I don't know why, but could it be that something like a structure or mechanism that manipulates an object is entered into my mind in an abstract form? Perhaps, it is because of the further domination of the object, which leads to the production of similar information.

Although it was a little uneasy, it was not accompanied by actual injuries such as headaches, so Xia Jing didn't take it seriously.

When her mother came home in the evening, Xia Jing was immediately arrested and forced to ask about the whereabouts of Pudding, so she explained to her that Pudding was taken out in the afternoon to entertain the surprise visitors, and finally Xia Jing ran to the supermarket to buy the same pudding and came back, and the turmoil came to an end.

A few hours later, my father returned home from work, and the family of three enjoyed dinner together, and the day came to an end.

All that's left is to get ready to take a shower and go to bed.

By the way, the problem of homework has long been completely forgotten by Xia Jing. High school life on Saturdays, where I was worried about my problems, was not healthy.

"Don't be in a hurry to do something today that can be done tomorrow" is Xia Jing's philosophy of life.

After a busy day, it was inevitable that he felt a little tired, and Xia Jing dispelled the idea of staying up late to play with the golden branch early. If the mind is not focused enough, it is easy to make slight errors when restoring the deformed things to their original state. Although it can be easily done when the condition is good, you only need to think about restoring it to its original state - but no matter how extraordinary the props are, they are not a panacea.

The time was eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, it was a little too early to go to bed, so Xia Jing opened the computer and planned to browse the Internet to pass the time.

At this time, the voice of the mother shouting came from the first floor.

"What?"

Xia Jing opened the door in response. The answer he got surprised Xia Jing.

"There's your guests."

「…… What?"

- Eight o'clock in the evening with guests?

Xia Jing left the room. Who will it be?

It's impossible for the classmates to come here so late without an appointment in advance. So it should be a member of the deer clan.

And Ye Ya only came in the afternoon - could it be that Ye Ya had some accident?

When she went home, Xia Jingyou personally took her to the bus stop. And she also carried a weapon with her, so it stands to reason that she should be fine. But the heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate, and Xia Jing pulled his leg and rushed down halfway down the stairs.

"Who?"

"Why are you so flustered...... Huh."

The mother, who was staying in the hallway, somehow cast a meaningful gaze.

"I wanted to invite the other party in, but the other party politely declined. They're still outside."

"Oh, I see."

"I didn't think you had two brushes."

Judging from her mother's ridiculous words, the visitor should be a girl of the same age.

If so, it's either Anye or Lan Yang? The anxiety of worrying about Ye Ya's accident is getting stronger and stronger.

Xia Jing opened the door.

The uneasiness in my heart, in a way, is considered to be a miss.

"Good night, Xia Jing, your house is quite chic."

The people who appeared in front of the entrance were neither Anye nor Lanyang.

- But it's really the Suzuka family.

"You...... This guy."

Xia Jing regretted very much that he didn't take Jin Zhi downstairs. No, the idea of carrying a weapon with you even to the door of your house could not have come to your mind in the first place.

At the very least, you should bring your phone. The current summer scene is completely helpless.

In front of you—

"Your mother invited me to come in and sit down."

Qiu Yin's face was not visibly hostile—but there was a creepy smile on her face.

"Here you are...... What to do?"

Xia Jing, who was so shocked that he couldn't help himself, was speechless other than that, so he could only barely put his hand behind his back and close the door.

"It's too much, why don't you invite me in? You've all gone into my house and said."

"That's not your home!"

"No, that's my home—Akiyin's home."

「…… You!"

There was a goosebump-inducing chill behind him.

Since the photos of the two of them on Qiu Yin's family album were exposed, the impression of her former classmates in Xia Jing's heart has long been gone.

This woman is just a terrifying monster that exists by plagiarizing Autumn Yin.
