Chapter 43: The City That Never Sleeps (3)
I don't know how long it has been.
Eren woke up in a daze, it was probably late at night, and the lights outside had all been extinguished.
The faint fire was still beating "poof". The characteristic green smoke emitted by the burning of firewood surrounded Allen.
Other than that, Eren only heard the wind whistling outside the window.
"Looks like it's going to be bad weather tomorrow again. Erian nestled in the couch and sighed at the night outside the window, for it wasn't a good thing for him that the weather was so bad, at least until the wind stopped, he couldn't break into the Charald Snow Mountain.
Suddenly, a strange sound reached Elian's ears.
The voice was soft, and it reached Elian's ears in bursts.
Allen's curiosity is at work again. Unlike Ai Yue, if he couldn't figure something out, he might not be able to sleep all night.
He gently got up from the couch. He left the hall with the faint fire of the hearth.
The sound wasn't far from the hall, and the staccato sound grew clearer as Eren stepped into the darkness.
The owner of the voice was on the second floor, and Elian nodded affirmatively.
Listening to voices and identifying positions is a necessary skill for every qualified thief.
Going down the stairs, Ai Lian went up to the second floor in the dark.
Because Ai Yue and Naya slept on the second floor, Ai Lian did not act rashly, but crept towards the source of the strange sound.
Well, he looks like a thief.
Eventually, Eren stood in the doorway of the innermost room on the second floor, and gently pushed the door open.
There was only a small oil lamp lit in the room, and by the faint light of the fire, Elian could see the whole room.
Because this room is very simple, a bed, an oil lamp, and not even a chair.
Naya covered her eyes with her trembling hands and lay helplessly on the side of the bed. She didn't seem to notice the door that had been pushed open, just sobbing softly.
Her intermittent sobs were accompanied by weak, trembling hands.
Knock Knock Knock –
Eren knocked lightly on the door, startling Naya.
She hurriedly stood up and wiped her red and swollen eyes with her hands. Perhaps because she had been kneeling on the edge of the bed for a long time, she staggered to her feet, and then her whole body was like a thin bamboo pole, staggered by the wind.
Just as Naya fell forward, Eren rushed forward and hugged Naya.
She lay on her stomach in Elian's arms, her shoulders shaking helplessly. Eren could hear Naya's faint cry.
Now, he can't do anything, maybe that's enough.
Minutes and seconds passed, maybe just a few minutes, but maybe longer.
Naya suddenly pushed Eren away, and while wiping her tears with her hands, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll wash your clothes tomorrow if you get your clothes dirty. ”
"To be honest, I didn't expect that heroic police officer to apologize, but if I do, I should apologize. Elian waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry for the indiscriminate adventure games in your house, to be honest, this is probably my occupational disease." ”
"What do you do?" asked Naya curiously, seemingly attracted by Elian's words, not even knowing that the tears on her face had disappeared.
"Thief~ I'm an expert at walking around other people's homes. ”
Elian said happily.
"Poof-" Naya suddenly burst into tears and laughed, her red eyes turning into a crescent moon at this moment.
Nothing is more contagious than a smile.
Looking at Naya's smile, Ai Lian laughed out loud as well.
"You dare to say this in front of the greatest policewoman in the future, you are not small! You are the first prisoner arrested by the policewoman Naya, be proud of it!"
Naya grabbed Elian's wrist, made a handcuffed motion, and trotted out of the room.
Ai Lian shook his head gently, he had never been able to understand the thoughts of girls.
He walked slowly to the bed, where there was obviously a person lying on it, and this person was covered with a white cloth, and the corner of the white cloth was the tears left by Naya.
Ai Lian didn't move the person on the bed, nor did he take it upon himself to lift the white cloth to find out.
He just blew out the oil lamp and closed the door gently.
Then I went back to the sofa in the living room.
。。。。。。
————————————————————————————————
Early the next morning, Ai Lian was awakened by the noisy sound made by Ai Yue.
The morning sun shone through the window on Eren's face, making him unable to open his eyes.
Finally getting up from the soft sofa, Eren rubbed her eyes as she thought about what to do today.
For example, let Ai Yue participate in a big stomach competition, for example, go to the town to find out the news, and then go to the area around the Charald Snow Mountain.
In short, there are so many things to do, and Elian always feels a little too busy.
Standing up from the sofa, Ai Lian stretched lazily and said to Ai Yue, who was already exercising in the living room, "Ai Yue, get ready, we're leaving! And where is Miss Naya? I have to thank her!"
"Miss Naya went out early, as if there was something very important in the police station. And Ellen, Miss Naya's eyes were red in the morning, did you do something rude to her last night!?"
Ai Yue's intuition was still keen, and Ai Lian hurriedly turned her head and said, "Ah! Is it a cream cake or a candy cookie for breakfast today?"
"Cream cake!" Ai Yue was immediately attracted to attention, she raised one hand high, and shouted loudly: "If you don't eat cream cake for breakfast, you will lose energy all day!"
"That's just you, right?!" said Ai Lian, gently rubbing Ai Yue's head.
On the first day of entering Eternal Night, everything was normal.
It's a strange town, but to Elian, it's nothing.
"Okay, let's go find a restaurant with a big stomach challenge!" Ai Lian snorted softly and left the small building with Ai Yue.
After that, I have to go to the police station to thank Miss Naya, even if you are a thief, you must have a gentleman's side.
Saying goodbye or something is not the behavior of a gentleman.
