August 15 at 10 a.m.

Chu Zihang followed the address in his mobile phone to find the old community hidden behind the high-rise building.

It is surrounded by lush plane trees, a wide road and green foliage that shades the scorching sun.

Building 31 is an old building with a red brick façade, concrete balconies, and green painted wooden windows.

The hallway is not very well lit, only a few dim incandescent lamps illuminate, and other than that, there are all kinds of small advertisements plastered on the walls.

After groping for a while, Chu Zihang stood in front of a green wooden door, and the blue lacquer door number nailed above it had a few prominent words, 'Room 201, Unit 15'.

This is Chu Zihang's destination today, he should have come as agreed a week ago.

It's just that at the moment he was a little hesitant, or a little at a loss.

After experiencing Nibelungen's words of "digging out his heart", he actually didn't know what kind of identity to use to get along with Xia Mi.

In between, they tend to mingle with a group of people to communicate, or only talk about things in a formal setting.

Before they went out from the Nibelungen to today, they had not communicated in private.

So, as the Dragon King, how does Natsumi view herself?

How should he behave in the face of Natsumi after regaining his memory?

These questions made him, who has always been decisive, a little confused.

But one thing is certain.

When he didn't know Lu Mingfei's plan, in the face of the fight with Xia Mi, his heart was really painful.

"You're Xiaomi's classmate?"

Just when Chu Zihang was fighting between heaven and man, an old lady in the neighborhood didn't know where to flash out.

She was carrying two green onions in her hands, looking at Chu Zihang with a wary face, looking like she had just come back from grocery shopping.

"Xiao Mi you are talking about, is it Xia Mi?" Chu Zihang asked tentatively, "If so, then I am her classmate." ”

After taking a closer look at Chu Zihang's appearance and dress, the old lady relaxed her vigilance slightly.

A child who looks like this shouldn't look like a bad person.

"Click!"

As the two spoke, the door to Room 201 opened.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Chu!"

Natsumi suddenly jumped out of the door, looking full of vitality.

"Aunt Zhao, good morning, too!" Xia Mi grinned and waved his hand with a grin.

Seeing Xia Mi like this, the old lady let down all her vigilance, and after beckoning Xia Mi to come to dinner often when she was free, she went back to her home.

White short sleeves, black shorts, combed high ponytail and a demon-like face.

The sunlight passed through the door of the house, and what Chu Zihang saw was such a scene.

"Good morning, Natsumi."

Chu Zihang's ghost sent a greeting back.

"Poof." Xia Mi covered her mouth lightly, "Senior brother, are you stupid?" ”

"Don't stand outside the door, come in!"

Without waiting for Chu Zihang to continue speaking, he was pulled in by Xia Mi.

Once inside, the sun is paving.

Sure enough, the sunlight I saw just now was not an illusion, because there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the door.

The curtains were not drawn, and the sunlight outside filled the living room unbridledly, and it was hard to imagine a bright house with floor-to-ceiling windows in such an old building.

Apart from this living room, there is only one room in the house facing west, and there is no bathroom.

And this room is also wide open, and the owner doesn't seem to care about what others see.

After all, there was only one bed in the middle of the room, with a blue sheet on it.

There is only an old-fashioned chest of drawers in the corner, and in the opposite corner is a stove and an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator.

That's all the furniture here.

I glanced at the white lace curtains and the dark blue velvet curtains.

Chu Zihang thought, there is not even a TV here, and when he is alone, he should often sit on the bed and watch the sunset, right?

You have to keep the curtains tight in the middle of the night, right?

"Dragons, are you afraid of the dark?"

After seeing the world that Xia Mi had, Chu Zihang asked unconsciously.

Has she been living like this all these years?

After knowing Xia Mi's true identity, Chu Zihang also knew that she said to herself that her father wanted to invite him to dinner was actually false.

In fact, she doesn't have a mom or dad, she doesn't have a bullied demented brother, and she doesn't have a lot of clothes for her to match.

There was no one to cook for her, no one to talk to her, she was just alone and learning about human beings.

"When you were born in this completely strange world, you would be scared when you don't have memories of dragons, but not now."

"Why, ask me what I'm doing here, do you mean, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Xia Mi leaned over, tilted his head and said to Chu Zihang.

Then she glanced at Chu Zihang's line of sight.

Well, empty.

Then she patted her chest and said:

"Don't look at my house with such a small thing, but you can rest assured, I bought a lot of vegetables this morning, and you will definitely be satisfied!"

With that, she opened the refrigerator door, took out a box of leftover yogurt and stuffed it into Chu Zihang's hand.

"You're welcome, just at your own home."

Seeing Xia Mi so happy to spread all this, Chu Zihang's previous worries disappeared in an instant.

"Do you need my help?" Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.

Watching Natsumi take the dish out of the refrigerator, he quickly returned to his previous state.

"Today is my treat, you just sit and rest and wait for the food to be served."

Xia Mi put the apron used for cooking around her body and said to Chu Zihang.

"Oh, yes."

Natsumi suddenly noticed that the whole house, except for the small bench in the living room, only the bed on the other side could be sitting, and she pointed to the bed with a blue sheet.

I'm embarrassed:

"I forgot to prepare a chair, so you can sit here and rest."

After a little hesitation, Chu Zihang cautiously sat on Xia Mi's bed.

Sitting on the bed, he could see that under the hood were simple white sheets and white duvets, and the pillows were also white, with the pattern of a relaxed bear on them.

There was also a yellow bear in the corner of the pillow with a serious expression.

"And!"

Xia Mi hadn't been standing in front of the stove for a long time, she turned around in her apron and pointed at Chu Zihang with a kitchen knife:

"You can't open the cabinet next to my bed, inside are my long socks and underwear."

"I'm not going to watch it."

Chu Zihang was categorical.

"What do you mean, you're saying I'm not feminine?"

Faced with Chu Zihang's answer, Xia Mi suddenly asked.

Chu Zihang suddenly felt a little tired.

Time passed slowly.

During this period, in addition to observing the room, Chu Zihang silently watched Xia Mi stir-fry and cook.

Because the two of them were in the same room, he could clearly see Xia Mi's every move.

Whether it was the seriousness of cooking, or the hair falling down and pulling it behind his ears, Chu Zihang observed a girl so seriously for the first time.

"Senior brother, prepare to cook!"

Natsumi took off her apron and brought the plate to the table in the living room outside.

Chu Zihang served two bowls of rice and served them together.

The two of them sat on a small bench and ate face to face.

"Why did you erase my memory?"

While eating, Chu Zihang suddenly spoke.

It was a question he had hesitated for a long time to ask, and although it might have made Naya reveal his side of Naye Mongad, he still asked it.

There are some things that you can't do without asking clearly.

You know, I used to remember a lot of things every night, but none of them were related to her.

"Does the answer matter?"

Xia Mi put down the chopsticks, raised his head and stared at Chu Zihang, and his voice suddenly became demonic.

But her serious expression didn't last long, and she was amused by Chu Zihang's appearance.

"Senior brother, are you sure you want to talk to me about such a serious matter like this?"

As she spoke, she flipped the chopsticks over and swept them steadily and fiercely towards the corners of Chu Zihang's mouth.

A grain of rice was easily taken by her.

Seeing her two voices switching freely, Chu Zihang couldn't help but be stunned.

This girl, is it fine again?

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just joking."

Xia Mi chattered.

"Actually, according to the previous environment, it wasn't a good thing for you to remember me, so I erased your memory."

Xia Mi said while giving the dish to Chu Zihang.

"You must know that not everyone is like Senior Brother Lu, who has the power to subvert the world.

Even I myself relied on his ability to continue to stand on the bright side. ”

Chu Zihang nodded in this regard, according to the current situation of the dragons, what Xia Mi said is indeed right.

"Okay, you've asked me a question, it's time for me to ask you."

Xia Mi coughed lightly twice and said:

"Do you like cute girls, or queens?"

Her voice changed quickly, and she was a fresh and lovely school girl for a while, and a noble and cold princess for a while.

For this not very serious question, Chu Zihang thought about it seriously and replied:

"Whether it's a cute girl, or a queen, or something else, as long as you're still Xia Mi, I like it."

"Poof!"

Xia Mi suddenly sprayed a mouthful of Coke on Chu Zihang's face.

"Senior brother, you, you, what do you mean by this, you shouldn't be a confession!"

Natsumi said in a panic, and at the same time, her face turned red.

She never imagined that her question of teasing him would be answered like this!

Chu Zihang silently wiped his face with a tissue, and said expressionlessly:

"You can think so."

Natsumi choked all of a sudden.

Chu Zihang raised his eyes, his dark eyes and bright pupils.

Xia Mi suddenly felt that Chu Zihang in her impression had changed, that Chu Zihang from Shilan Middle School.

Taciturn, polite and distant, he learns everything by reading books, which is what he used to be.

Now he still looks cold, but she sees herself in Chu Zihang's gaze.

"How did you figure it out?"

Xia Mi, who knew Chu Zihang's past, was silent for a moment and then asked.

"Because of the Nibelungen Project, because of the heartache of fighting you, because my father didn't die."

Chu Zihang briefly said his reasons.

In fact, this is also the reason why he used to close his heart.

Without the Nibelungen Project, he would have died within ten years with frequent blood bursts.

If Chu Tianjiao hadn't been rescued by Lu Mingfei, even if he had the Nibelungen's plan, he would have lived for revenge in this life, and he would have no future.

Also, he who has not fought with Jörmungadr will not understand his heart.

Whether it was Xia Mi in Shilan Middle School or Xia Mi in Kassel, it was like a beam of light attracting him.

Although she is very middle two, her mouth is also very chattering.

"I see."

Xia Mi straightened her body and said, in this situation, she doesn't even eat her favorite braised pork ribs!

"But now that everyone thinks you like the dead Jörmungadr, what should you do?

Our outrageous interspecies love story has been spread all over by Brother Fingal! ”

Natsumi asked these questions.

"Then hide it first?"

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment and said.

After all, he can't explain that he has just fallen in love with Yermungad, and it stands to reason that he is in the period of falling out of love, how can he be with Xia Mi.

"You mean underground?"

Natsumi's eyes widened.

"Sure enough, isn't that good?"

But before Chu Zihang could say this, he was stunned by Xia Mi's words.

"Oh, it's funny."

Natsumi suddenly touched her chin and said with a very interested expression.

I expected Natsumi's brain circuit to be normal, and it was really wrong.

Chu Zihang sighed inwardly.

"Then we're together, aren't we going to do something weird."

Xia Mi moved the small stool next to Chu Zihang, leaned his head over and said.

"What's the strange thing?"

Chu Zihang questioned.

"It's like this."

Xia Mi leaned forward and pressed it to Chu Zihang's lips.

Hot, greasy, and the taste of braised pork ribs.

Chu Zihang thought so.

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

The sun was about to set, and Chu Zihang and Xia Mi sat on the edge of the bed facing the sunset.

Darkness crept in through the windows, their long shadows cast on the walls, and there was a faint noise outside.

"How does it feel?" Natsumi asked.

"Sitting here all afternoon looking out the window really makes a difference."

After the sunset took away the last afterglow, Chu Zihang glanced at Xia Mi, who was shaking his head.

"It's time for me to go back."

"Okay, do you want to pack up the extra food and take it away?" Natsumi asked as she got up.

"Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Fingal, two otaku, they must be nesting in the hotel on these days, rotten and smelly!"

Xia Mi said maliciously.

"You guessed wrong." Chu Zihang shook his head.

"Actually, before I came, Fingal left, and I heard that there was something going on in his hometown, and he wanted to take advantage of the holidays to go back."

"Where's Senior Brother Lu?"

"He, it seems that he went to find Su Xiaoqiao today."

——

Xia Mi went downstairs and sent Chu Zihang away, and then returned to his room where there was nothing.

"I'm back!"

She shouted.

With a different emotion than before. (End of chapter)
