The words made Qianling Yumei's face blush, and she puffed out her cheeks, completely acting as a little girlfriend.

"You're too weak."

Zhong Xia took her hand and did not comfort her, but calmly said the words that made Qianling You's heart cold.

Bending slightly towards the leader, even if it is a human etiquette, as long as the accompanying heart is sensed by the other party, then the elves will be very happy.

"If you don't try to be strong, then just like today, the powerful Tanabata Blue Bird Leader will not be able to protect all the little Blue Birds, and the danger I will encounter will be more hunters."

After saying this, Zhong Xia let go of her hand and let her fall silent.

"From the humans I've seen, and from what they've said, it's a strange thing that you've treated your partner like this."

The leader said jokingly.

"She's not my partner yet, she's just a good boyfriend and girlfriend, in human terms, a know-your."

Zhong Xia turned a corner, and at the same time proved his intentions.

"You humans are trouble, and there will be more than a dozen different ways to represent one thing, but no matter what, we have to thank you for your help in today's matter, otherwise we will lose more companions."

The leader thanked him, smiled and stretched out his wings, and handed over some fruit.

Zhong Xia took it and took a bite directly, only feeling sweet and delicious, and when she looked back, she saw that the black-haired girl was still thinking and meditating, and she didn't pay attention to it when a little green bird kept teasing her.

Zhong Xia walked over, touched the little green bird's head, stuffed her with a tree fruit, and at the same time bit a small half of the fruit, and put it in her mouth very wickedly.

"Ahh

Qian Lingyou was startled, and saw that it was Zhong Xia playing a prank behind her, and wanted to say something, but she still took the fruit and bit it depressedly.

"Don't think about it so much, get some rest, have you informed your companion?"

"Okay, I've called, and they're still envious."

"That's good, the chief invited us to play here for a few days, and I plan to leave early in the morning in four days, what about you?"

Faced with Zhong Xia's question, Qianling You wanted to say let's go together, but remembering that she was once in Platinum City, by the flower flat on that drizzly afternoon, she still looked gloomy, thought about it, and asked curiously: "Your route is different from ours, right?" ”

"If the first route and the second route are compared to two lines that do not intersect each other at right angles, then I am constantly walking in the shape of Z in the middle of this right angle." Zhong Xia thought about it for a while, and it was very apt to describe his planned route.

A good line is in a Z-shape, Qianling You just thought about it for a while, and knew that Zhong Xia could catch up with their speed while walking and playing, and I am afraid that there is very little time to rest, right?

"Really! I don't care about myself too much! ”

But Zhong Xia never affirmed the relationship with her, which made Qian Lingyu resentful, thinking of her father who she had never seen, and it was not until tonight that she finally realized her mother's feelings and knew what it meant to love and hate.

"No wonder you're making progress so fast."

From the mouths of Sunny and Qianlinglan, Qianlingyu knew a lot about Zhong Xia's recent situation, and after confirming the information at hand with each other, Zhong Xia's rapid progress along the way made them extremely shocked.

But it wasn't until now that he heard Zhong Xia's training route that Qian Lingyou finally understood what hard price Zhong Xia's progress had paid.

"Yes, this kid likes you very much."

Suddenly, the leader walked over, and the mental world of the three of them was connected together at some point, Zhong Xia looked at the purple elf who was lazily eating tree fruits over there, but only saw her claws scratched in the air, faintly three words beef jerky.

....... sneered, Zhong Xia couldn't help but smile, he admired this foodie's business acumen too much, and he was simply a needle.

At this time, Zhong Xia found that the little green cotton bird had finished eating the tree fruit, and was lying on Qianlingyou's white thighs, rubbing its cheeks around, as if its color was the color of a cloud.

"The mother of this child...... Just gone. ”

Chisuzu Yu said with difficulty, out of a woman's nature, she has been holding this little guy since she came in, trying to comfort it.

"His father was also a very brave warrior, and he was also killed when he was attacked during our travels."

The leader sighed as well, and looked at the old friend's child as if he had made a decision.

"If you can, then, you can take this child out of here, no matter what, day and night, watching other children snuggle under the wings of their parents, and it is always lonely, this pain should not be borne by the young one."

The leader's rational words struck the hearts of the two like a drum, and they couldn't help but be in awe of it, this is a truly qualified leader, whether it is combat effectiveness, command, care for the clansmen, etc., he has tried his best to achieve this point.

"This cave is built in a leeward place, and it is not cold at night, you can rest here at night, and remember to accompany me tomorrow morning to see this long-lost hometown."

After the leader extended the invitation again, he turned and left the cave, as if because of the sad memories brought by the little green bird.

"Zhong Xia, leave this green bird to you to cultivate, you are much better than me, it will be better taken care of."

Qianling You thought about it a lot, there were conjectures about Zhong Xia's danger in the future, and there was an inferiority complex about her lack of confidence....... but no matter what, she was determined at this time and was ready to hand over the green bird to Zhong Xia.

Zhong Xia smiled slightly, took Qianling into his arms, and the two gently stroked the well-behaved green bird like a child.

"Did you forget again?"

Zhong Xia's rhetorical question made Qianling stunned for a moment.

"Elves aren't gifts! It can't be sent around, it chooses you because it likes you and believes in you, and you treat it like this, and you feel that you can't take good care of it, and even use me as an excuse, but don't you think it's cruel to it?

No elves will always be weak, just no good nurturing and trainers; Again, no trainer is born good, I've been three years old, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but yes, I've been working hard to become an elven master. ”

Zhong Xia sighed with some emotion, looked down at her straight black hair, and said softly: "Moreover, after I became an elf master and had the power to realize my ideals, I walked alone." ”

"Come on, Xiaoyou, whether it's for yourself or my request, I hope you can have enough strength to accompany me to realize my ideals in the future."

Qian Lingyou listened to Zhong Xia's emotion, suddenly raised his face, smiled like a flower, revealing the cute little dimple on the left, and the sly in his black eyes, and said with a smile: "You are a confession, right?" ”

"Uh...... In a sense, sort of. Zhong Xia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, sort of.

Qian Lingyou stretched out his little tail finger, innocently hooked Zhong Xia's tail finger, and said seriously: "Even if it's not a confession, it's an agreement, then pull the hook up for a hundred years, don't change!" ”

Zhong Xia was stunned, but still nodded.

The little tail fingers of the two are hooked together with each other, representing the connection of fate and reluctance;

Then the other three fingers are bent up, and the thumbs are put together again, which in turn represents the heart, nestled against each other, never separated.

This is this long-standing nursery rhyme, the real way of representation and its central meaning, representing a lifetime of promise and simple love.

In the cave, Qian Lingyou, who had experienced so much in a day and was exhausted, actually lay in Zhong Xia's arms, with a satisfied smile like a child on the corner of his mouth, and fell asleep.

Gently entered, laid a good bunk, and covered the quilt for the black-haired girl and the green bird, Zhong Xia watched the black-haired girl unconsciously turn over and hug the little green girl, the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and covered her with a thick blanket for her.

As for Icarus in the other stone room, he was with the other Tanabata bluebirds, and their special feathers were naturally the best for cold animals.

"Wood, you should rest early."

Said softly to the green shadow in the corner, in exchange for the silence of the other party, it must have to keep vigil until midnight.

He doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, but in the end, it is Wood's own choice.

In the dark night, with the silent and light footsteps exercised in the Yayu Forest, Zhong Xia walked outside the cave kiln.

At this moment, the night sky is full of stars, the moonlight is like water, and the silver glow is scattered all over the quiet sea of clouds.

Like a ghostly climb, at a suitable height, above the sea of clouds, looking up at the starry sky.

Zhong Xia faced this beautiful scenery at night, and he raised his head alone, gradually feeling an indescribable loneliness.

"There really are ...... Can you understand my heart? ”

"Stupid, I'm blowing the wind myself."

A familiar voice, a shadow came out of the darkness, jumped slightly, jumped to Zhong Xia's side, she curled up, greedily snuggled up to his chest, wanting to absorb more warmth.

I don't know why, Icarus knew that the girl was very close to Zhong Xia, and she always felt a little bit of stinging in her "heart" that kept stinging her.

"Some people, some things, obviously want them, but have to give up for the time being."

"I just don't know if she and them are still there when they dare to ask for it?"

The black-haired boy touched his chest, where is there a necklace, even on such a cold early autumn night, it will always be so warm, like that person's body temperature.

High in the night sky, the stars kept blinking, clearly audible, but puzzled and incomprehensible.
