Little by little, the sun rises over the horizon, gilding the blue sky with a brilliant warm red, and the smoke of the city's cooking curls and people start their busy day again.

Today is a good day!

Locke got up early in the morning and decided to go to the market to buy groceries and make a hearty breakfast to treat himself, and think about it, it is a very lucky thing to still have such a beautiful morning.

To be able to feel the wind, the sunshine, and the air again, Locke was deeply honored.

After dividing five by two, Locke went out with his money bag. Because today is a day off, Locke and Phil don't have to go to work at David's bakery. As far as the habits of the past are concerned, Phil must still be sleeping lazy at this time......

Locke walked briskly humming a little song, the sun shining on his shoulders and warming his heart.

Feel everything around you carefully. The birds on both sides of the green avenue are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The uncle who sells baked cakes is constantly shouting. The beautiful flower girl has a cute resentful look. And the happy smiles of the children. All of this makes people feel that they are full of the power to pursue a happy life.

But when Locke saw a girl from afar, his good mood disappeared without a trace.

This girl, wearing a black rose hairpin, a pale black rose lace skirt, and black leather shoes, walked forward gracefully, with a pair of big eyes that made her look very pitiful, and her snow-white skin formed the most stark contrast with her outfit.

She was like a black gothic rose, but like a black poppy, exuding a mesmerizing aura, and when she wanted to reach out and touch her, she was pulled back by an inexplicable fear. She faced the people who passed by her with a puzzled look, her watery eyes were full of doubt, and her mouth seemed to be muttering to herself, not knowing what she was saying.

Locke was getting closer to her, and Locke finally heard the words that the girl had been repeating.

"Why do people kill each other? Brother, Aisha is so scared, Aisha is so scared...... Elsa's necklace is gone...... Gone."

Locke was stunned and stopped instantly

stopped, and then the girl named Aisha also stopped, and the two finally came face to face.

Elsa looked at Locke curiously, and when Locke finally met her eyes, the Gothic Rose smiled at her.

The flowers stretched out their bodies, like angels descending on the earth.

She gently took Locke's hand and gently **. A warm breeze blew, and the flowers were ashamed of themselves, and Locke had not yet come to his senses, and was shocked again when he tried to react.

Because at this time, Aisha was happily saying to Locke: "Brother, Aisha has found you! Hide and seek is Aisha won!"

Tears welled up in the corners of Elsa's eyes, and the crystal tears connected into two small rivers and landed in Locke's palm. In the next second, Aisha hugged Locke tightly, for fear that the tenderness in her heart would run away again.

Looking at the way the rose cried, even the strongest knight would be unbearable.

Locke was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and for a moment thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but only one thought prevailed - did this girl who did not know him lose her brother and become deranged?

Locke tried to soothe the girl in front of him, so he chose to hold her in his arms, while stiffly holding her hair with his hands. At this time, Elsa chose to take off her hairpin and let Locke caress her black hair.

Locke comforted while still muttering: "Aisha doesn't cry, brother is here, let's not play hide and seek in the future, okay?"

Aisha nodded in Locke's arms, but kept crying, Locke knew that the nerves of the girl in his arms were extremely sensitive, and she couldn't withstand the slightest blow at this moment, if in normal times, this kind of beautiful girl took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, and it was too late for him to be happy!

Gradually, Aisha calmed down, and her consciousness gradually became blurred, Locke ignored the eyes of the people around him, helped Aisha to a nearby bench and sat down, while Aisha took Locke's arm and fell asleep.

Locke took off his coat and draped it over Elsa, turning his head to stare at the girl's face.

I don't know why, at this time, Locke felt a sense of belonging, her long eyelashes flashed in the spring breeze, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was just the arc of the flowers.

Time seems to pass very slowly, this strange girl makes Locke surprised and delighted, but also found a rare quiet in the end, Locke has longed for such a quiet moment since he was a child? Compared with the bustling city and crowded streets, he prefers the mountains, the grassland, and the nature described in the illustrated books.

Of course, there is Locke's favorite person in this city, and she has been with her day and night for more than ten years, she is the person Locke thinks knows him best, and the fit of the soul has long made Locke's heart unbearable loneliness.

Locke missed Yixue, and when there was a girl around him holding his arm, this made Locke's heart rise with a sense of guilt.

After making sure that Elsa was asleep, Locke gradually withdrew his arm from Elsa's palm. Slowly placing Aisha on the bench, Locke did not choose to take back his coat, he also took out two silver dragon coins from his money bag and put them in his coat.

The moment Locke turned around, the sunlight shone right through the treetops on Elsa's body, and Elsa felt warm on her body, and the long-lost temperature returned to her side again.

originally thought it was just a meeting in Pingshui, but I didn't want to set off a storm later.

......

Locke finally walked to the door of David's bakery, and after some distance, Locke could still see the owner Uncle David's busy figure in the store.

The size of David's bakery is huge, of course, this scale is not the size of the store and the amount of bread produced, but it is a completely self-sufficient farm-style bakery.

Why? Because behind the shop there is a large garden with a large meadow, grazing cows, growing wheat, and behind the garden is David's own villa, which is right next to the sea.

"Uncle David, where's Evie?" Locke asked anxiously as he walked briskly into the store.

"Oh...... She's resting, she didn't go home last night, I'm worried that she's lost, and today the sun hasn't risen before she comes back, and it's really distressing to look at when she comes back, and she can't give up, little Locke came just in time, can you help me ask what happened last night?"

"Okay uncle, I'll go!" said Locke, and ran across the shop in the direction of the villa.

......

On the snow-white bed lies a snow-white girl, whose delicate skin is as flawless as fine silk.

The white rose stretched its soft body, yawned lazily, and the black hair became a discordant hue in this space.

Yi Xue rolled over, completely unaware that she was in the center of the black circular magic circle.

The black magic array shone with a faint light, and a huge claw stretched out from under the bed, and the Shadow Fiend's huge-looking body gradually emerged from the magic array.

It floated in the air, drawing closer to the furless lamb, and the maiden was still asleep, but she did not know what was in front of her.

The Shadow Demon's ethereal eyes gradually turned scarlet, and soon, a remnant image shrouded the demon and the girl.

"I'll give you back your soul, but you have to remember your agreement with me, and use your methods to kill that young man! I will choose to strike when necessary, I know you don't want your father to die like this......"

"Also, you can't end your life with your own hands, you can't pass on your thoughts to him, your soul has already left my mark, go, stain your blood, and offer the necessary sacrifices for the birth of the king!"

The girl suddenly woke up from her sleep, she looked around, still unchanged, as if the terrible demon had never appeared, but her memory left its words.

Yi Xue shrunk herself into a ball, she really couldn't remember what happened last night, the only impression was the scarlet candlelight, and the many peers who were tied up, and the rest, she really couldn't remember.

Is it a nightmare? But now it seems to be a fact, being kidnapped by a demon? and killing Fa Xiao, who has grown up together since childhood? Yi Xue thinks about it for herself, and thinks it's a fantasy. But this idea has always existed in my head - kill Phil!

The nightmare lingered, like a rope, strangled to the point that Yixue almost suffocated, it was better to die like this!

But when the idea first came up, it was immediately dispelled.

"Can't even control my own thoughts now?"

Yi Xue burst into tears, thinking about the good times in the past, thinking about Phil's face, thinking about how she had a crush on this seemingly optimistic teenager in the past, Yi Xue really couldn't stop her tears.

"I agreed with you that we would sit together on the beach of the Aegean Sea and look at the starry sky overhead, I ...... I'm really sorry for you guys......"

Life is better than death, and this feeling is like being firmly trapped in a thorn bush, helpless, and hopeless......

"Ice, Ice!" Locke shouted as soon as he got downstairs.

The crying white rose immediately wiped away her tears, chose the whitest and most beautiful dress from the closet and put it on, and the moment she closed the zipper on her back, Yi Xue looked at herself in the mirror, she knew that she couldn't hide the fact that she had cried, and she couldn't get rid of the terrible decision in her mind. If tears could solve the problem, how good would it be......

After tidying up, Eva opened the door and found Locke sitting outside his door against the wall.

Yi Xue smiled, laughing out of tears, the white rose can finally not be swayed in the wind and rain for a while. She hugged Locke so tightly that she almost left him breathless.

Locke was speechless, stammered without saying half a word, and finally came out with four words

。

"I'm ...... Don't be afraid. ”

Yi Xue nodded, she really needs care now.

"What's going on?" Locke asked anxiously.

"Nothing...... It was just a nightmare. ”

Locke ** Yixue's hair, sniffed the fragrance that belonged to the girl, and said softly: "Then let's go and rest again!

"I want to go for a walk in the garden, can you come with me?" Yi Xue said reassuringly, leaning against Locke's thick chest.

Locke asked tentatively, "Okay...... Shall we go, do you want me to carry you down? You look weak. ”

"You can carry me to the garden!" Yi Xue smiled happily.

"Okay, then hold on!" Locke bent down and picked up Eva and walked downstairs.

The tranquility before the nightmare is truly suffocating.
