When Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun were talking about Liu Wan'er in the bamboo building, Ruyu got his permission and didn't see Yu Qin and Fan Xuan playing chess, but quietly walked out of the bamboo building and went to the mountains and forests.

The cold wind was blowing at night, Ruyu didn't care at all, and walked along the mountain road in the familiar direction. He still remembers that the last time he was kicked out of the bamboo building, he took this road.

After climbing a hill and going up a hill for a while, a small wooden house appeared in the shade of the mountainside. In the darkness of the night, the hut was dark, either no one or the occupants had rested.

Ruyu straightened her face and boldly stepped forward to knock on the door.

In the wooden house, Chen Qigang blew out the candle and was lying on the bed at the moment, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. She was a little bored in her heart, as long as she closed her eyes, all she saw were pictures of her and Ruyu, lingering like a shadow.

The little girl sighed, knowing that it would be difficult to sleep tonight.

Originally, it was just because of the sorrow of parting, but now there are some other reasons. Ruyu's behavior today was a little abnormal, and she was a little worried about Ruyu.

There was a knock at the door, which really startled her in the silence of the night.

Chen Qi subconsciously thought that she had misheard, but after calming down and listening carefully for a long time, she was sure that someone was indeed knocking on her door, and she couldn't help but be a little flustered.

In the middle of the night, when it's dark and cold, who will knock on their door?

She was a little frightened, but she couldn't ignore it, so she crept out of bed and quietly walked to the door, without making a sound. She pressed her eyes to the crack in the door and looked out.

The person who came did not light the lamp, it was still dark outside, and Chen Qi couldn't see it clearly.

The man had knocked on the door for a few moments, and continued to knock, as if he had no intention of stopping.

Chen Qi raised his courage, took a few steps back, lifted the saber on the table, and then walked to the door, gave himself a strong courage, and asked, "Who?" ”

Ruyu knocked on the door for a long time, and was anxious, thinking that Chen Qi was not there or asleep, but when she heard her voice, she hurriedly replied, "Chen Qi, it's me." ”

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard Ruyu's voice, then hurriedly put down the saber in his hand, went to open the door, and a cold wind suddenly rushed in, making the little girl shiver.

Ruyu stood at the door, looking at Chen Qi, her light red pupils shining slightly in the dark night.

The little girl stared at him blankly for a moment, and then, as if she realized something, she quickly turned her head sideways to prevent him from seeing her face.

She was going to go to bed, but she was naturally not dressed up at this time, and her hair was messy and unkempt. Chen Qi felt that she must not look good now, at least much worse than usual, and she didn't want Ruyu to see it.

It was cold outside, Chen Qi tilted his head sideways and annoyed his carelessness, and hurriedly said, "You come in first, it's cold outside." ”

Ruyu nodded and entered the house.

Chen Qi hurriedly took him to the tea table and sat down, and told him, "You sit down and wait for me first." ”

Ruyu was a little puzzled, but still looked straight at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't look at it!"

"Why not?"

"Oh, how can there be so many why?" Chen Qi was so anxious that he covered his face, "If you look at me again, I'll invite you out of the house." Cover your eyes! ”

Although Ruyu didn't quite understand, she still did it.

The little girl hurried to the dresser, found a comb to comb her hair, took an eyebrow pencil and rouge, and took care of it a little. She looked in the mirror, and although it was not as beautiful as in the past, she could see it in the past.

Only then did she run back to Ruyu, only to see that he was still the same as just now, only covering his eyes tightly, looking very serious, as if he was executing a law.

Chen Qi was amused and said, "You can open your eyes now!" ”

Ruyu opened her eyes and saw Chen Qi standing in front of him with a smile. She didn't look like she looked the same as before, but Ruyu couldn't tell what was different, and when he closed his eyes, he only heard some rustling sounds, and he couldn't guess what she was doing.

Chen Qi sat down across from him and lit the candle on the table. The firelight jumped, and Chen Qi's eyes flickered under the candlelight.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Didn't you go back to the bamboo building, why did you come to me again?" ”

Ruyu replied: "I went back and asked Mr. about what I didn't say, and Mr. allowed me to tell you, so I came over immediately." ”

"Oh, that's what you said." Chen Qi was also a little curious, nodded and said, "Then you say it, I'll listen." ”

Ruyu's lips opened slightly, and she just wanted to say it, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something. The devil sent God, and he made another mistake.

"I just saw Mr. Xu and Lord Xie Gu together, and they said that they just received the news today, and Xianzhou will be coming in two days."

"Oh." Chen Qi's expression was a little dazed, "Two days, faster than originally planned." ”

Ruyu hesitated for a moment, and said apprehensively: "I'm still afraid that if I tell you, you won't pay attention to me in the future." ”

Chen Qi supported her chin with both hands and brought her face closer, and the candle flame reflected her face, which became more and more beautiful. She blinked her eyes and asked seriously, "Do you care if I ignore you?" ”

Ruyu thought about it and nodded.

He really cares about himself. Chen Qi smiled, feeling much more comfortable, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Then why?" ”

"Because I feel like you're my first friend."

First friend? This sentence is somewhat inexplicable. But with his personality, maybe it's normal to have no friends.

But does he care about himself just because they're friends?

Chen Qi couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, frowning and saying, "That's all? Are we just friends? ”

Ruyu was stunned, could it be that what he said just now was wrong? According to the gentleman, it should be a good thing to make friends.

He panicked for a moment, not knowing how to answer. This reaction fell in Chen Qi's eyes, and he thought that he was habitually silent.

Chen Qi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. She cared so much about him, but he only treated them as friends, and she found that she had never understood Ruyu's heart. Thinking of this, Chen Qi's heart became more and more painful.

The little girl seemed to have never suffered such a grievance, first pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, and then her eyes couldn't stop moistening, until two lines of tears fell uncontrollably. She hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe them, but the tears were like weeds, the sleeves brushed, and the spring breeze blew again, and they wiped more and more, until they burst into tears.

Chen Qi whimpered and sobbed.

Ruyu was dumbfounded, completely froze in place, and almost forgot to inhale. Those words that were originally going to be said are even more unspeakable now, and he doesn't even know what he said to make her unhappy that could make Chen Qi cry like this. He froze like a log, overwhelmed.

Not to mention the Nine Realms, even if you have the cultivation of the Twelve Realms, I'm afraid it's not easy to do it at the moment.

Chen Qi couldn't cry anymore, she sobbed intermittently: "What the hell do I ...... What do you have to do to you so that you can understand? Nerd...... You're an idiot! ”

Ruyu could only silently watch her shed tears, he had never been so helpless. Even if it was under Xu Huaigu's sword that day, it was better than this.

Chen Qi cried for a long time, as if he had broken his heart. After a long time, she looked down at the crumbling candle flame on the table that was about to burn out, looked sluggish, and said to herself: "Okay, I know, you don't like me, I made a mistake." You go, I won't pester you from now on. ”

Like.

She just said the word "like".

Ruyu suddenly realized.

He didn't know what liking meant, but now he suddenly remembered what Sister Yu had taught him, and remembered all the things he had done with Chen Qi these days.

Sister Yu said that liking someone is to tie your heart to his. Rejoice in him, mourn in him. Seeing him smile was as bright as a sunny day; Seeing his troubles and loss, I can't wait to endure them for him myself. If you like someone, you will think that he is good-looking, will be selfish, and will not want to share it with others.

No wonder Chen Qi kept trying to make him laugh; No wonder when he was kicked out of the bamboo building, Chen Qi was more anxious than himself, looking for help everywhere; No wonder Chen Qi's mood tonight was so up and down.

It turned out that it was all because of him.

Ruyu wouldn't hold back his words in his heart, so he asked in a daze: "Chen Qi, do you like me?" ”

Chen Qi's eyes were red from crying, he looked at him with resentment, and said, "What do you say? Can't you feel it these days? If you think I don't like you, then don't like it. ”

Ruyu muttered, "You shouldn't like me. ”

Chen Qi burst into tears and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"Because I'm not a human, I'm a demon."

Ruyu said stupidly.

Chen Qi opened his lips slightly, looked at him stunned for a long time, and asked rhetorically, "What did you say?" ”

"Chen Qi, I'm not a human, I'm a demon."

Ruyu's face was painful, and her heart was like a knife.

"Chen Qi, do you understand? That's why I don't know anything about the rules of the world, I can't laugh, and I don't know how to speak. That's why the last time I was in town, my husband's attitude towards me was so resolute. So many times, I never dared to tell you my identity, I was afraid that as soon as I said it, you would never pay attention to me again. ”

Ruyu said such a long sentence in one breath, it may be the longest and best paragraph he said since he came to the Central Domain. After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Qi anxiously, only to see that her face was full of shock, and she was completely speechless.

Ruyu suddenly felt a burst of regret in her heart.

She really didn't care about herself, she blamed herself for being reckless. Why aren't you human? If he were human, then everything would be fine, but he is not. He suddenly hated his origins.

The shemales are separated, not to mention that there is still a war between the two clans, and Ruyu knows that most people hate the demon clan.

Although there is no right or wrong to talk about the war between the two tribes, the differences brought about by the difference in positions cannot be reversed. People can only stand in the position of people, and demons can only fight for more adequate living space, and everyone has no choice.

It should be over here. Ruyu looked at Chen Qi and thought so pessimistically.

"No wonder...... No wonder your eyes are red and so pretty. Chen Qi muttered to himself.

Demon ...... Chen Qi had not seen the war between the demon race and the human race with his own eyes, but he also knew that it was tragic. The blood feud between the two races is far from being comparable to the grievances and hatreds between individuals.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Although Chen Qi had many speculations about Ruyu's life experience, he never thought that he would be a demon clan. But in this way, everything can be explained. Chen Qi knew that Ruyu didn't lie to himself, he was telling the truth, he was really a demon.

But then, what should she do? She actually fell in love with a demon clan?

Chen Qi's mind seemed to be a mess, and she didn't even shed tears, and the tears dried on her cheeks, which was poignant and moving.

Ruyu pursed her lips and said after a long time: "Shouldn't I go?" ”

Chen Qi was overwhelmed and didn't say a word.

This is for her good, Ruyu told herself. He stood up, not knowing how to face Chen Qi, so he stopped in place for a while, but still took a step.

He knew that if he left this door, maybe the two would never have contact again.

Anyway, they will be separated in two days, even if Chen Qi likes him now, he will like someone else in the future. No matter who that person is, it's better than him being a demon clan.

But why are you so sad?

Only then did Ruyu realize that she had different feelings for Chen Qi. But whether this emotion can be called liking or not, it is a little too difficult for a demon who has just entered the world. He didn't dare to say that answer.

In the midst of his thoughts, he had already reached the door. He heard Chen Qi crying again, Ruyu was stunned in place, and his hand couldn't be closed.

When he was most helpless, it was Chen Qi who helped him, and now he seems to be unable to leave.

He was in a dilemma.
