The boundless fog symbolizes the dilemma of being confused and not knowing where to go.

It's a future that you want to escape from.

People get lost in the fog, wander in the fog, and finally let the boundless fog flood like a tide, engulfing and burying the self along with reality.

Theresia suddenly fell silent, quietly pondering Xia Ming's words.

It has wings and a tail, but it has the same pupil color as hers, the illusion of an evil dragon......

"That's not me."

She eventually shook her head.

The jade-colored eyes stared at Xia Ming's silent and silent gaze, and repeated firmly and forcefully: "That's definitely not me. ”

She doesn't lie about things like this.

Xia Ming was silent.

A solemn atmosphere surrounded the two of them, like the cold wind and ice and snow whistling outside the window.

This was the atmosphere that Teresia was familiar with, and in the afterglow, she was surrounded by such an oppressive and heavy atmosphere day after day.

But it's also an atmosphere she's not familiar with.

Getting along with Xia Ming always makes her happy, making her feel that he is so interesting and in tune with him.

It was a feeling that she had never experienced from other people since she was a child, from her uncles and aunts who were like family in the embers, and from her own brother.

is like two leaves growing from the same branch, whether it is personality or temperament, she and him seem to have a natural connection and tacit understanding.

They are destined to be friends, companions.

But now, she doesn't feel that kind of fit and tacit understanding.

This was a feeling that made her feel even more stunned than Xia Ming's palm just now when it didn't really touch her chest.

It was as if the wind and snow and mist outside the window soaked in the cold and cold seeped into her bones, making her feel a chill of fear from her muscles to her pores.

Xia Ming...... I didn't lie to you. ”

She bit her lip aggrievedly and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Not really."

Xia Ming stared at her eyes steadily, and she also raised her head seriously to respond to his gaze.

She felt sad and aggrieved because she really didn't know what was going on.

Maybe the dragon is just using my appearance as an anthropomorphic image? Maybe it just happened to transform into a human form, except for the eyes that were the same color as my eyes?

That phantom really couldn't be her.

She explained so seriously, but Xia Ming's answer to her was silent.

I thought you were special, the only one who had the same heart as me, but why don't you believe me at all now?

The girl's heart was trembling, looking at Xia Ming's silent and indifferent eyes like a ruthless one, and boundless sourness and bitterness surged from the bottom of her heart.

Until she couldn't help blinking her eyes because she had been staring at Xia Ming for too long.

"Theresia, you're losing."

Xia Ming clapped his palms and suddenly laughed, and the laughter and applause washed away the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"Huh?" Theresia was slightly stunned.

"You just blinked, didn't you?"

Xia Ming pointed to her eyes and showed a cunning fox's triumphant smile: "I clearly saw that you blinked before me, Theresia, this time you finally lost to me, right?" ”

"Huh?" Theresia looked at Xia Ming with a stunned face.

We just ...... Are you playing a game where you can't help but blink when you look at each other?

Could it be that the so-called dull and depressing atmosphere just now is actually just my brain supplement?

Or is it ...... You bad guy is trying to win this game, that's why you're deliberately pretending to be so serious and silent to intimidate me?

What a despicable and shameless means!

"What wins, loses, you cheat! I didn't agree to play a game with you to wink first! ”

Theresia raised her delicate cheeks, clasped her hands together, and her mouth turned up, looking angry that I didn't admit.

But the heart suddenly became excited, as if the clouds hanging overhead had been dispelled by the sun, and the birds in their cages had finally flown into the green forest.

"I don't admit defeat and I look exactly like I used to be, Theresia."

Xia Ming looked at her with a smile and returned the original words.

"I didn't lose anyway!"

Theresia twitched her head and snorted at the air next to her: "The game without my prior consent will not be counted, you will only win with air." ”

I, Theresia against you Xia Ming, still maintain an undefeated all-win record!

"Okay, okay, just don't count this time, you go change your clothes first, I'll go see Terred."

"Why am I going to change my clothes and want to break me out of my mouth and whisper to my brother?"

Theresia pursed her lips as if in jealousy.

"Do you have to say it, Theresia?"

Xia Ming looked at the girl's lower pants playfully, remembering the scene just now.

Although the girl had extraordinary endurance, and under his groping, he completed the resistance to the Five Fingers Army with great difficulty, and finally won the victory, but the smell of the air suddenly became a little more fragrant still made him sure.

"It's not very comfortable, is it?"

"You ......"

Xia Ming's burning gaze made the girl feel an even more hot and angry shame, and she picked up the pillow and slammed it on his head in shame.

"You're going to die!"

She hurried to the next door with a flushed face, closed the door, her heart pounding, and her mind uncontrollably recalled the warmth and power of Fang Cai's palm on her skin.

"Bad guys! Bad apple! Big bastard! ”

She grabbed a brand new pair of pants and walked into the bathroom.

Here, she finally didn't have to pretend in front of Xia Ming, and she didn't have to endure it anymore and let out a soft moan.

In the kitchen.

Xia Ming was chatting while helping his eldest brother cook.

"Three days ago, I suddenly had an idea to experiment, and I forgot to tell you in a hurry, thanks to you for bringing me back."

Ted silently picked up the knife and cut off a carrot, and said expressionlessly: "You are the key to breaking the game, and saving you is just to save ourselves." ”

"No matter what, now you really have a life-saving grace for me, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take you and Theresia out of here."

Throat!

The kitchen knife slammed into the board.

Tried casually took out the kitchen knife that had been inserted deep into the cutting board, picked up a cucumber next to him, and smashed it with a snap.

The poor cucumber shattered into bits of various sizes in an instant, and the juice in it flew away like an exploding balloon, sticking to the cutting board like a puddle of rotten flesh.

"We're going to eat cucumbers tonight."

The crumbs of the cucumber were put on the plate, and Treed glanced at the boy next to him.

"Xia Ming, I advise you not to beat my sister's idea."

Xia Ming said that he was not frightened at all, and said with a smile: "What if Theresia herself is willing?" ”

"Willing? Theresia is less ignorant, her so-called willingness is just to be bewitched by the rhetoric of this scumbag of yours and confuse her reason! ”

When Treed thought of this, he felt a pang of heartache.

I still remember that before I came to Xia Ming, my sister swore that she was not a woman who looked at her face, and she would not be easily deceived by a few beautiful words from a beautiful man.

Who knew that after coming here, she completely forgot her previous promise to him, as if she had been poured ecstasy soup by Xia Ming, and her eyes and heart were full of this little white face, scumbag!

Even three days ago, in order to save him, he once again released his strength, and after he came back, he stayed by his bedside to take care of him all the time......

She has never been so kind to her own brother!

Treed didn't understand this at all, he didn't know that there was a word called love at first sight, although most of the time it actually refers to love.

He didn't know that even if a partner with a good soul and a tacit understanding only got along for a day or two, the progress of their relationship was as good as the months of a stranger becoming a couple.

Xia Ming was the first person to be rescued by Theresia on her first mission (although it turned out that he didn't need her to save him at all).

Xia Ming was also the first person to make Theresia feel so relaxed and happy to be with him.

What's more, Xia Ming is the first stranger to have such kindness to her besides her parents and brother.

It was in Theresia's perception that sometimes even surpassed that of her family, as if she could give her life for her warm enthusiasm.

And he is mysterious, powerful, handsome, and funny.

In Theresia's eyes, he was so special.

How can she not have a good impression of such a person, and naturally develop love and attachment?

Not to mention that just now, Xia Ming also made the girl experience a shame and happiness that she had never experienced.

"In short, I advise you not to have special thoughts about Theresia, it is not suitable between you."

"Not suitable?"

"Do you have to say it directly? Then I'll tell you. ”

Treed put down the kitchen knife and looked Xia Ming in the eye.

"Teresia and I both inherited the blood of the Valkyrie, two years ago, I failed to draw the sword, and now I can pull out the sword of the Red Flame to inherit the power of the Valkyrie, and the only person left to fight against the Ice King and the evil dragon is Theresia."

"She is the hope of the embers, the hope of this snowfield, and the last hope of the entire people of the Northland. Her mind shouldn't be on falling in love with you, and she hasn't been unable to put her mind on falling in love with you. ”

"Even if you try to deceive her with rhetoric here, do you think you will still be able to get close to her like this after you go out?

After returning to the organization, she had to get up at five o'clock every morning, and spent the whole morning watching the battle videos of the previous Valkyrie, watching it over and over again, imitating it over and over again, and integrating her fighting style and will into her memory and body.

"After eating at noon, there is no time to rest, go to the Red Flame Prayer Room and connect with the Red Flame left by the Valkyrie, touch the blazing flame with your own spiritual energy, do not allow resistance, do not allow refusal, silently bear the pain that seems to absolve the soul, just to make your spiritual energy infinitely close to the spiritual energy of the Valkyrie, resonate with it, and improve the probability of successful sword drawing, which lasts until ...... Eight o'clock in the evening! ”

"After dinner, I have to continue to study, learn to imitate the personality and posture of the Valkyrie, and then I have to go outside, wear thin linen clothes, not allowed to use psionic energy, and experience the suffering and hardships that the Valkyrie Lord has suffered alone in the bleak and cold night full of snowstorms with the physical fitness of an ordinary person, and I will not be allowed to go back to my room to sleep until one o'clock in the morning, and even ...... Even! ”

Treed's hand clenched into a fist, and the veins bulged on it.

"Even when I go back to my room to sleep, I have to bring a psychic helmet that I bought at a high price from Iris, and even in my dreams, I have to watch the Valkyrie's videos over and over again, and I have to substitute myself into it, imitate her, imagine that I am her, and finally become her ......"

Bang!

Tried slammed the cutting board to pieces with a slam punch, and glared at Xia Ming:

"Theresia is completely scheduled for twenty-four hours a day, and there is no time to rest, even if you trick her here, do you think she still has time to accompany you when you go out? Playing your nong, my nong's couple game with you?! ”

"Give up, you don't have a chance at all!"

"So ......"

Xia Ming looked at his big brother who was clenched with his fists clenched, his face turned red, suppressed his anger, looked at his emerald eyes like Theresia and asked:

"You don't want to go out either, do you, Terred?"

Treed turned around, picked up the kitchen knife with a blank face, and continued to chop vegetables, all the anger on his face seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Don't want to go out?"

The spirit turned into a flame and scorched the bottom of the pot, and he heated the oil and poured the meat into the pot.

There was a stab.

The smell of oil smoke and flesh instantly shrouded his face in a vague and choking smoke, which flickered and flickered.

"I'm just hating myself for not being able to pull out the Sword of the Red Flame at the time."

He looked at the meat in the oil pan that was gradually being fried, and said calmly.

His flames, after all, are only to this extent.
