Chapter 30: The Temptation of Sincerity and Falsehood (1)
"Shhhh
Lin Zuzu gasped in pain, she didn't know that clearing the wound was far more painful than being injured.
It's no wonder, after all, the first few serious injuries, she passed with a black eye.
And when Eiting went crazy......
To be honest, it really doesn't hurt too much.
Li Qin gently applied gauze to her and fixed it with medical tape.
In a few hours, though, the wound may not leave even a trace.
"I'll send you back later." Ittingevil said.
"Ah, I can go straight to the team."
Lin Zuzu looked at the current time - 6:45, the journey took almost half an hour, and even if he went home, he couldn't rest for too long.
"You can just be in the team by 2:00 p.m. today." Li Qin calculated the lack of sleep time for the girl and gave a more ample limit.
"I don't feel particularly tired...... Lin Zuzu lowered his eyes, feeling that he not only didn't help much just now, but even added a lot of chaos.
"Only when you have a good rest can you achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Yes, Senpai." Seeing this, Lin Zuzu no longer insisted.
When he returned home, Lin Zuzu unexpectedly found that Bai Jiu had actually gotten up and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.
"Oh, you're back."
He poked his head out at the sound of a sound, and the white fox ears shook slightly with his movements.
A scent came to his nose, and Lin Zuzu instantly felt a huge hunger pang, and the calories provided by the energy bar had long been exhausted.
"What did you do?"
"Lean porridge, then bought meat buns and egg yolk siu mai."
Bai Jiu put on heat-insulating gloves and served hot porridge and other food, and brought bowls, chopsticks and spoons, just like the master.
Going with the flow and being at peace with what happens has always been his code of conduct.
In the human world for a hundred years, his main focus is a good mentality and strong adaptability.
"But the porridge has to be boiled in advance, right? How do you know I'm back at this point? Lin Zuzu asked inarticulate while brushing his teeth.
"Hey, I just can't sleep, I just want to eat suddenly, you're just a coincidence." Bai Jiu's face was a little hot, so he quickly denied it.
In fact, he knew in his heart that even if Lin Zuzu didn't come back at this point, he would keep a good amount of one person.
Of course, Lin Zuzu didn't ask the question of "why is it a double amount".
She just chuckled, as if she had approved of his answer.
Although lean porridge is not difficult to make, Bai Jiu cooked it really deliciously, which surprised Lin Zuzu.
I thought that the demon clan was all Ru Mao drinking blood, but I didn't expect the craftsmanship to be good.
"What's that look on your face? Ha? You don't think we catch rats every day, do you? "Bai Jiu didn't have a good airway.
"No, no, you demons are beautiful and kind, and you all drink dew." Lin Zuzu, who ate other people's soft mouths, hurriedly denied it.
"The current human world is dominated by human beings, and we scattered demons can only choose to integrate well."
"Are there any other demons near our house?"
She has no mental powers, and she can't rely on her perception to distinguish between aliens.
We...... Family?
Bai Jiu suddenly felt in a good mood.
He's been away from the word for too long.
In the past hundred years, he has occasionally spent time with humans, and the longest relationship even lasted for forty years.
It's just that after he saw off his best friend at the sickbed, he made up his mind never to get along with any ordinary human again. He couldn't bear to see them look old and withered.
For example, that day at the bar, even if those human girls scanned the code and sent a friend application, he wouldn't have passed, because-
Humanity is too fragile.
They do not have an infinite lifespan, and they can easily die even if they are slightly injured or contaminated with disease.
It's just that...... The girl in front of her seemed to ...... It's not quite the same.
Although she was so thin and weak now, he could feel the vitality contained in her body, which was a vigorous and primitive power.
Moreover, she is funny.
"Didn't you?" Lin Zuzu saw that he didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he couldn't remember.
"Yes, but I'm not familiar with it, it's not the same kind."
"That's ......"
After eating and drinking, Lin Zuzu felt a little sleepy.
"Do you still have to go to work today?" Bai Jiu asked casually while packing up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Well, after the afternoon, they asked me to come back and sleep for a while." She yawned.
"Huh?" Bai Jiu's face was visibly disappointed.
"Do you have any arrangements?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to know more? I thought, I can take the assignment and then we go to work together, and the bounty will be divided proportionally. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you in advance if there is no task one day."
Bai Jiu smiled at this time.
Lin Zuzu felt a little trance for a while, she had an illusion-
Has this fox demon become different from before? It seems like...... It's more lively.
Is that kind of self-proclaimed elder and fairly calm state because he has been performing in a mask for too long?
Perhaps, this is his true character?
However, what can such a weak self do to help him? Those who can complete the organization's bounty task should also be the top powerhouse, right?
How did his attitude suddenly change so much?
Is it just because I have his handle in my hands? But I've already said I'm not going to expose him.
Or is there something ...... in me?
At this point, the thought stopped, and the girl fell into a deep sleep as she felt the softness of the bed.
Maybe it was because she was too sleepy, Bai Jiu noticed that she didn't close the door tightly in the confusion, so he walked over and wanted to close the door for her.
He saw the girl's sleeping face through the crack in the door, and asked the same question.
Why do you unconsciously let off your guard?
She is not a very beautiful person, at most she can only be regarded as beautiful.
Nor is he a very powerful person, and he can kill her without even lifting a finger.
Is it because of her weakness that I don't think she is any threat?
No, she used all the chips in her hand, even disregarding her own life, to finally defeat me...... But he easily surrendered the fruits of victory.
She just said—
"Okay, you can stay."
Unlike those crazy admirers, when she has achieved her goal, she gently lets go, no longer desires or possesses.
No, it's not.
She has a thirst, and she has always thirsted for bloody revenge.
Risking your life at all costs.
But even with such ugly intentions that drive her actions, why do I still think she is beautiful?
The three-hundred-year-old fox demon pondered for a moment, and finally looked into his heart and thought of the answer.
Because...... Her heart is really small, so small that she can only fit into this one thing, and she doesn't think about anything else.
I can't help but wonder if ......
I mean, if ......
Is it me in that little heart?
If my three tails and I just fill this heart, will she ......
Will you bet this incomparably beautiful emotion on me?
It's like a best friend who gave up his immortality just to grow old with that woman.
It's like...... Dad and mom like that.
In front of my tombstone, will she also get wet in the heavy rain?
Oh, what do you think...... But she's just a human being......
Bai Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly and closed the door gently.
