Chapter VII
Demon Realm
Yama was in the midst of the sea of flowers, looking at the other side and poppies that were showing amazing vitality around him, and he knew that Leng Yue had indeed been here.
His brow was stained with sorrow. Judging from the human host state he found, Leng Yue most likely had a memory disorder. Then she may not have returned to the Demon Realm out of her own will, but due to the influence of the attraction of the place of belonging.
The Demon Lord is powerful, but now that he has lost his memory and is condescending to the human body, if he is discovered by the pretenders to the throne, it will be difficult to parry, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Hiding away from the crowd for now is the best option.
The demons have always been selfish and violent, with the exception of their "heart lover". This race has a heart, but no heartbeat. The one who can make a demon's heart start beating is also the person who swears to the death of this demon, calling him a "heart lover".
And about the choice of "heart lover", there are many versions of the saying in the demon race. Some say that it is determined by subjective feelings, others say that it is a coincidence, and even more say that this theory is an ethereal "fate". Yama Luo didn't know which one it was, the only thing he could be sure of was that Leng Yue was his heart lover.
When I close my eyes, I can hear a slow, steady throbbing sound somewhere under my left chest.
Therefore, at all costs, he will protect her on the throne until the day when his heart is dead and silent.
Leng Yue only regarded him as a loyal minister, and he didn't know that he was full of selfishness towards her.
Room
Xia Yue twisted the flower stem, watching the flower spin rapidly between her fingers, blurring into a ball of crimson. Although it was plucked, the flowers did not seem to be decadent in her hands, and they had always been in the most delicate state.
After bidding farewell to Yu Qianluo and leaving the cemetery to go home, Xia Yue's thoughts were always tied to that casual thought: since the strange sea of flowers is not like the human world, whether the self related to its origin is not human.
But if she wasn't human, what was she?
Night had completely fallen, and the dim street lamps stretched Xia Yue's figure very long.
The alley was empty, and there seemed to be a hint of foreboding in the silence. Xia Yue was still immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't figure it out, and he almost bumped into someone at the corner of the alley.
With the help of the dim light, Xia Yue saw the situation in front of him clearly and couldn't help but be surprised.
You Ziyi hugged a thin girl, her face was scary. The girl in his arms looked unusually embarrassed, her hair was stained with chewing gum, her body was covered in mud and water, one shoe was missing, and the torn neckline showed shocking red marks.
Xia Yue recognized that this was the girl who called You Ziyi "brother" last time.
You Ziyi turned sideways without leaving a trace, blocking Xia Yue's view of You Zihui. Xia Yue had an epiphany, so she pretended to be idle and looked away. She is not a nosy person, and curiosity and the like are rare, more things are better than less, and after a slight bow counts as a greeting, she is ready to pass away.
"Xia Yue." You Ziyi suddenly stopped her, "Please don't go out and talk nonsense when you see it tonight, people are terrible." ”
Considering the speed at which gossip spreads at school, it's not uncommon for him to have such concerns. Xia Yue responded perfunctorily, and walked home without looking back.
At the moment, she doesn't even understand her identity, how can she have the leisure to gossip about other people's affairs.
Xia Yue's family is in an inconspicuous community, and the residential building can even be called dilapidated. The upstairs of her house lives Su Yuan.
Su Yuan, Yu Qianluo, and You Ziyi are all in the forefront of campus figures, but their family backgrounds are not half a star. Since his parents divorced when he was a child, he and Su Qi lived with their father. My father was a heavy drinker and gambler, and in the past two years, he didn't even want to work, and the living expenses of the three of them relied on Su Qi's salary and Su Yuan's scholarship to support them.
Xia Yue walked to the staircase, the sensor light had not been lit for a long time, and she was about to go upstairs in the dark, but she was surprised to find someone sitting on the stairs.
After his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, Xia Yue frowned and looked at Su Yuan on the steps, "What are you sitting here?" ”
The boy was uncharacteristically silent, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low. The stairwell was already narrow, and he sat on the steps, unable to spare him to go upstairs and go home.
Xia Yue weighed the affection he gave to the umbrella when it rained heavily a few days ago. Accepting the kindness of others makes her always have a mustard in her heart, and now it is better to take the initiative to return the favor, just two clear.
Thinking of this, she took two steps forward, walked in front of Su Yuan, and came closer to see him. It would be clear when he got closer, and there was bruised blood on his forehead, and his lips were bruised and bloodstained.
Su Yuan was taken aback by her sudden move, leaned back slightly, and raised his head to look at her. The senses of the person in the darkness were infinitely magnified, and the girl's few strands of hair hung down on the side of his face, exuding an inconspicuous fragrance. Her eyes are black and bright, but they are like a bottomless abyss, causing people to get lost and sink in them. Su Yuan's breathing stagnated, and his heartbeat was wrong.
"There was a fight." Xia Yue looked carefully and came to a conclusion, then looked down at his knuckles, and saw that there was no damage, so he reversed his guess again, "There was no fight, it was completely unilaterally beaten." ”
"It's really useless, you won't fight back when you are beaten." She muttered something in a whisper to show her incomprehension. A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye are the most basic principles of doing things in her opinion. Even if there is a huge difference in strength, if you fight to the death, you will never let the other party get the benefits.
Su Yuan was amused by this nonsensical play, and the haze in Yu Jie's heart unconsciously dispersed a lot. "It's my dad. As soon as he drank too much, he would get emotional. After the incident was over, he leaned his arm on the back step and looked at her for a long time, "I am more surprised that you will take the initiative to care about people." ”
Of course, it is to avoid falling into the hands of others and being controlled by others. Xia Yue sneered, but his face looked very calm, and asked him to wait for a while and go home to get his things.
As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Yiqing stuffed a medical kit into her arms, "There has been the sound of falling things upstairs in the front, and it is quite noisy." Su Qi doesn't seem to be at home today, you go and see if Su Yuan needs help. ”
Xia Yue didn't even open her mouth, she successfully got the medicine box, and she only had time to throw the other side flower in her hand onto the shoe cabinet, and was pushed out by Xiao Yiqing.
After taking two steps downstairs, it occurred to her that she should have a flashlight. However, her night vision is surprisingly good, and it doesn't hurt to think about it.
She sat on the steps two knots higher than Su Yuan, taking advantage of her height, holding his chin with one hand, and dipping a cotton swab in ointment with the other, and unceremoniously pressing the corner of his broken mouth. Rao is Su Yuan was mentally prepared, but he still couldn't help but gasp, and subconsciously grabbed her wrist, "What a grudge, you are so ruthless." ”
The wrist was shackled, and the instinctive alarm bell of the body sounded, Xia Yue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she broke free by a large margin, and quickly got up to open the distance.
There was still a coolness on the girl's skin on her fingertips, and Su Yuan suddenly thought that her body temperature was really low.
In the darkness, he couldn't see Xia Yue's expression clearly, and could only see the lines of her taut body. He guessed that maybe he had inadvertently violated her taboo. Afraid of embarrassing her by poking it, he pretended to be idle and pulled out the cotton swab in her hand and simply treated the wound himself.
In fact, such a small bump has long been commonplace for him. When he was in middle school, when he fought the hardest, he broke bones and went to the hospital from time to time.
But he didn't plan to tell Xia Yue about this.
Rub the ointment and put a band-aid on it. After dealing with it in a decent manner, Su Yuan neatly put the things back into the medicine box. He could feel Xia Yue's muscles tense all the time, paying close attention to his movements, like an overly cautious little beast after being frightened, so he moved very slowly, aiming to show that he had no malicious intent.
"It's okay. Go home quickly. He handed the medicine box to her, and his tone was soft, reassuring. Xia Yue's slightly stiff fingers hooked the medicine box, without saying a word, turned around and walked upstairs.
When the slender figure was about to disappear at the corner of the stairway, Su Yuan suddenly said in a loud voice, "Xia Yue." Seeing the vague silhouette paused, he smiled and said solemnly, "Thank you, I'm sorry for you today." ”
Xia Yue knew that she had just made a little gaffe, but she had no intention of explaining. At this time, in the face of Su Yuan's thanks, he only said "um" with a look of wease.
Back home, with her back against the closed door, her tense nerves finally relaxed. It's not that she rejects physical contact, it's that she doesn't like the feeling of being held back and falling into passivity, she is more used to having everything under control, and everything is going according to her expectations and rhythm.
Xiao Yiqing came to her to ask about Su Yuan's situation. After this interruption, when Xia Yue remembered the flowers on the counter again, he found that the petals had already had the meaning of decadence and decay.
She pinched the stem of the flower and ran her fingers over the petals, a little regretful. But the flower in her hand began to stretch its petals at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than half a minute, it was even more delicate than before.
Xia Yue's heart froze, and he suddenly let go of his hand. The flowers swayed to the ground, commensurate with the dark floor, and the blood-red vitality was like the bewitchment of the devil.
