Chu Zige looked at her in a daze.

This is a simple sentence that couldn't be simpler, but just coming out of her mouth really touched his heart differently.

Then the corners of his mouth outlined a gentle smile, stretched out his hand, and subconsciously touched her hair.

"Good morning, Miss Xueli."

“......”

Chu Zige's hand stretched out, his movements were very slow, and in Xue Li's eyes, he was even more slow like a snail.

But Xue Li watched his hand touch it, without any stopping, until he felt a warm feeling on his head.

She blinked, looking at him quizzically.

There was a little inexplicability in her heart, it was a feeling she had never felt before, like a gentle hand, softening her heart.

There was even a bit of longing.

Weird?

It was as if she clearly felt that after she said good morning, the heartbeat of the person in front of her accelerated for a moment...... What is the reason for this?

She didn't understand.

She stood motionless, Chu Zige consciously lost her temper, obviously it was just a one-sided relationship, how could she subconsciously stretch out her hand?

So he withdrew, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment, asked:

"Speaking of which, why do you keep following me?"

"There's always a reason."

“......”

As if he finally understood his words, Xue Li leaned down, and then replied seriously:

"Xue Li, it's an adult's sword."

The drizzle is slightly blowing, a gust of wind is blowing, and the fragrance of osmanthus floats.

In her eyes, his complete figure was reflected, which was the meaning of her existence, the only value of this body.

Chu Zige was stunned for a moment, and a bit of abruptness appeared on his face.

Then he was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"You are the sword bearer of the Chu family?"

“......”

Xue Li nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

Chu Zige's eyes looked at her with a bit of complexity, and all her strange performances and her doubts seemed to be solved......

"Your Excellency didn't ask."

Chu Zige: "......"

He thought for a moment, looked at the white-haired woman, and then asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:

"When I was in Wolongyuan, you always followed me, and the distance you kept never exceeded three zhang."

"Does it have any special significance?"

“......”

Xue Li's small hand tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and then said seriously:

"Xue Li's sword qi."

"It's Sanzhang."

“......”

Looking at the woman in front of him, he sighed, in his memory, there is indeed such a special profession in the Chu family, that is, a person who will never betray and will always be loyal to the Chu family.

Chu Zige's eyes stared at her little hands covered with calluses, and said softly:

"Show me your hand."

She tied the long sword she held tightly around her waist, and then passed her small hand to him, which was covered with intricate lines, which were the marks left by the sword in her hand at all times.

He touched her cold palm, the rough lines on it did not look like a woman, but like a miner who had worked for years.

"How did you find me?"

Xue Li lowered his eyes, looking at his movements, and the scorching temperature brought by his palm came from the palm of his hand, itchy, but there was no painful feeling, but there was a strange strange feeling.

"The sword of the Chu family guides Xue Li."

“......”

Chu Zige put down her little hand and bent her body slightly, just in time to look at her ice-blue pupils from his angle, where his face was a little lost:

"If I don't ask, won't you always say?"

"Don't you have your own ideas?"

“......”

Xue Li tilted her head and said softly:

"What is an idea?"

Chu Zige thought about it and explained to her seriously:

"The idea is ...... Something that comes to your mind, like I held your hand, how did you feel. ”

"It's hot."

"yes, that's what you think."

Xue Li was stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand, the palm seemed to still have the temperature he left, and the scattered strands of white hair shook gently, as if thinking.

Then she raised her head and replied earnestly:

"Xue Li doesn't need ideas."

"Why?"

Chu Zige's eyes narrowed slightly and asked.

Xue Li said without hesitation:

"Mother said, Xueli doesn't need ideas, Xueli is an adult's sword, and the sword doesn't need ideas."

“......”

This is by far the most word count she has ever said.

Chu Zige frowned, and said with some displeasure:

"Who is your mother?"

"Snowflake-sama."

"Where is she?"

"Dead."

“......”

Chu Zige was stunned for a moment, then a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, and then he patted her shoulder and whispered:

"Sorry, I didn't know that."

She ...... How did he die? ”

Xue Li tilted her head, blinked her snow-colored eyelashes, and said softly:

"Killed by Xue Li."

“......”

Bang Dang –

The rain seemed to be heavier, suppressing the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the hall, and there was silence in the corridor, and the wooden windows in the corner of the corridor were crackling with the wind.

Boom –

Outside the corridor, thunder roared, the continuous autumn rain poured down, and a flash of lightning flashed, shaking on her fair face, it was still so calm, so calm that Chu Zige couldn't feel any waves rising in her heart.

Chu Zige swallowed his saliva, and suddenly there was a little more pity in his eyes, and he looked at her silently.

The mother in her mouth should be the woman who trained her, or the previous generation of sword bearers of the Chu family?

Perhaps when the woman named Xuehua was dying, there would not be a second superfluous expression in her eyes, but she looked at Xueli with satisfaction and said, "Congratulations Xueli, you graduated." ’

- Pathetic.

Chu Zige straightened up, looked at her with deep eyes, and then spoke:

"What did your mother teach you?"

Hearing Chu Zige's serious words, Xue Li clenched the sword in his hand, stood straight, and replied seriously:

"Always obey the orders of your lords."

“......”

She could understand the word command.

Chu Zige stretched out his big hand, slowly probed towards her cheek, wiped the corners of her lips, and said gently:

"Then I command you."

"Laugh."

Xue Li's stiff cheeks quivered slightly, trying to bend the arc called laughter.

But she tried several times, and failed, just like she had tried countless times in the night.

Then, she tilted her head slightly, just looked at Chu Zige, and asked the question in her heart for the first time:

"My lord, why are you laughing?"

"Because people have feelings."

"What is affection?"

“......”

What is affection?

Perhaps when she plunged her sword into Snowflake's chest, her hand trembled slightly, and that was the first time she had come into contact with understanding feelings.

Chu Zige looked at her with mixed tastes, and he couldn't answer her for the time being.

The sword is emotionless.
