Chapter 7: Throbbing
✿ BGM: Ma Zhi quasi-glassware
-
Most of the high halls are lined with bookshelves, and there is a slightly humid air that can only be described as the smell of books. Looking down the long labyrinthine staircase, the ceiling painted with religious paintings is solemn.
"That was ...... just now"
Before Yameng could react from the momentary feeling of weightlessness, Yue Linlang beside her had already stepped on the stairs without hesitation. Although her steps were slow, she could see that she was a little anxious.
(Linlang used to be so emotionally exposed.) )
Staring at Linlang's back as he ascended to the attic, Ameng didn't move for a long time.
(How do you describe this feeling at this moment?) Is it fanaticism, or jealousy, or maybe ......? )
Hair. Long brown hair that flutters from side to side due to movement, and is silky and silky.
Eye. Although only the side face can be seen, the flickering blue eyes and the gentle eyes like the spring sun are shown for the first time.
Sound. Different from the usual sharp voice, the clear and beautiful singing voice is refreshing.
"Why—why is my heart throbbing?"
(No, it's awe.) It's a feeling of awe that has been lurking in my heart for a long time. There's nothing special, it's just a thank you for protecting me just now. It's that I'm too sensitive. )
Ameng quickened his pace to keep up with Linlang, and finally the two of them went up to the attic together.
(It's like a dream.) It's a completely different feeling from coming here at dusk. )
The greenery of the greenhouse was illuminated by the light from the skylight, and in the center sat a beautiful and petite girl.
Her beautiful long brown hair fell to the ground, and her luxurious dress was tied with layers of velvet ribbons, like the interlaced drooping wings of a fallen angel. The spread books lay out radially around her, and she seemed to be immersed in thought.
Hearing that someone was coming, the girl with the appearance of a ceramic doll frowned.
"Yingluo, it's me."
“…… Sister. When Yingluo heard the voice, she suddenly raised her head and met her eyes in surprise, which were also royal blue. Immediately, he lowered his head and read in silence.
(They really look alike when they stand together, and you can't tell when you look at them alone.) )
Linlang seemed to know her sister's character well, and sighed helplessly.
"I deliberately pretended not to know, so lazy that I didn't even want to say anything."
When Ameng heard Linlang's faceless complaint, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Yingluo's eyes as she stared at the book opened a little as if she was frightened by Ameng's voice. The cold expression that was originally shrouded in fatigue seemed to be blown in.
"Why are you there?"
Still didn't give Ameng a chance to answer at all, Yingluo didn't raise her head, and said dissatisfiedly:
"I'm bothered."
(…… I kind of understand Yingluo's way of speaking. )
"Linlang, is your sister going to stay here all the time?"
Amon turned her head to look at Linlang who was standing aside.
"I'm here to get her out of here."
Hearing this, there was no doubt in Linlang's response.
"Then you can ...... now"
"It's not that easy, or Yingluo would have fled before she met you." Linlang's gaze swept to the next floor. "When you open the book, you say that you don't need my protection, and you plant yourself in the hands of the enemy. Without my intervention, you would be dead now. ”
“…… Actually, I take care of myself. ”
"What do you do to protect yourself?"
"I've got several guardian sweethearts, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ameng was stunned.
(I didn't even come out with the other three sweethearts!?) Oh yes - they seem to be still in their uniforms in the classroom...... )
"If you neglect to bring it out, it's the same as if you didn't have it. Yingluo, did you detain one of her guardian sweethearts? ”
Yingluo, who was originally just listening to the conversation between the two quietly with her ears pricked up, was called by her sister and spoke obediently.
"The child named Xiaolan is still sleeping in the guardian egg, and I don't know how long it will take to wake up."
Yingluo was a little embarrassed to look at Shangya's dream of eating people. The greenery at the top of the library returns to its original silence.
"We can't afford to put it off any longer. I'm afraid the owner here is about to show up. ”
Feeling Ameng's doubts, Linlang sighed helplessly.
"Ameng, when you encounter danger, try to hide and not be affected by us."
"But—"
Ameng, who originally wanted to refute, was interrupted by Yingluo, who suddenly spoke out on the side.
"Leave it to my sister and me. You are an ordinary person who has nothing to do with this incident. ”
(What...... Such a haughty tone. But at the end of the day, it's for my safety...... Never mind. )
As soon as the words fell, a cold snap blew from all directions. All the flowers and trees in the original greenhouse withered in less than 20 seconds.
(Why is it so cold all of a sudden...... )
"It's coming. Get out of here. ”
Yingluo looked up at Ameng.
The sapphire-like eyes are not looking at the Aemon standing in front of them. Her eyes sparkled like real sapphires, seemingly freed in an instant from the cycle of boredom. The body that was still tired and motionless just now, and the expression that was cold and clear as if in a sea of arrogance, were so vivid and lively that Aemon had the illusion that this was another person.
Hearing Yingluo's reminder, Amon bit her lip and ran downstairs, and soon her figure disappeared into the stacks of books.
(Yingluo actually has such a belligerent mentality.) In other words, can Linlang really handle it? Although I still don't understand the cause and effect of the whole thing, but it is inexplicable...... Very worried. )
At this moment, a loud explosion was heard from the center of the greenhouse.
-
Along with this deafening sound was another arrogant and cold voice.
"Yue Linlang, it's so gentle that people want to vomit."
