It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Lu Qiyue, who was on the run, dragged her tired body and walked in the night.

She walked to Guiye Street and sat down against the glass door of a closed shop on the side of the road.

Because my hands are tied together with my body, I can't even hold my knees to keep warm, so I can only shrink my legs and rest my chin on my knees, trying to retain a bit of body warmth. This scene is like a little match girl who freezes to death in the cold winter night with warm hope.

Brother Dog and I were eating ramen at the "Lanzhou Ramen" restaurant not far away, of course, Brother Dog squatted on the ground and ate it with disposable bowls, otherwise the owner would drive us away.

We looked at Lu Qiyue while eating, and Brother Dog kept complaining next to me.

"I said I was good at eating, but I just came to eat ramen, and I was unlucky to follow you liar. ”

Brother Dog sucked noodles, ate and ate, stood up upright, raised his head and glanced at Lu Qiyue not far from the window.

"Don't really look at it, or the consequences will be serious. ”

I don't know what this stupid dog said is very serious, is it possible that if I don't pull Lu Qiyue, it will bite me?

I stared at Lu Qiyue who was cowering in the corner with a serious face, and said: "She is already in a state of despair at this time, if I suddenly appear and pull her home, she will definitely be even more desperate, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not leave a huge psychological trauma." Therefore, in order for her to grow up healthily and happily in the future, at this time she should be given a little light in the darkness and a flame in the cold. ”

"It seems to make sense!"

Brother Dog listened to God, but then frowned and said, "That's what should be done?"

I snapped my fingers and shouted, "Waiter!"

......

When the waitress walked out of the ramen restaurant with a bowl of hot ramen in her hand, Brother Dog stepped on me and sat on a long row of chairs, leaning on the window and looking out.

"How cunning did you come up with such an idea? It said without looking back.

"It's called empathy. ”

"Shit, come eat shit. ”

With a poof, the dog farted at me, and I was so disgusted that I vomited the ramen I had just eaten.

When I took the cheap dog out of the store and kicked it away, the waitress walked up to Lu Qiyue and stood up, opened her mouth and said something. Lu Qiyue's empty eyes raised and looked at the waitress and the waitress, her pupils were focused.

The waitress smiled and handed the ramen to Lu Qiyue, who looked at the waitress blankly, as if shocked by what the waitress said and behaved. After a while, Lu Qiyue opened her mouth, as if to say "thank you". But even if I wanted to take the bowl of ramen, my hands were tied and it was inconvenient to move, so I could only shake my head regretfully at the waitress.

However, the waitress had known it for a long time, squatted down, took a mouthful of noodles and brought the bowl to Lu Qiyue's mouth. Lu Qiyue stared at the waitress for a while, listened to what the waitress said with a smile, and then tears flowed down again.

In the dark night, in this corner where the long-distance street lamp is a little far away and few people pass by, Lu Qiyue is tearful while eating the noodles brought by the waitress and the lady, the scene is very touching.

I held the door of the store with one hand and looked at it with the other hand crossed, shaking my head in emotion.

The dog who was kicked back walked back, crouched next to me and looked there, and asked, "Why didn't you let her know it was you?"

"No, she's been hungry for so long, and she won't eat it knowing it's me. And ah, my brother has always been so low-key. ”

"It's really empathetic. ”

I took out my wallet and was sad to find that the ** people were gone, but the people of all ethnic groups were still there.

Retracting my wallet, I looked at them almost with tears in my eyes. The friendly appearance of the waitress and the crying little face of Lu Qiyue are what a beautiful picture.

"Let's eat, let's eat, that's a high-priced noodle ......"

Brother Dog said with feeling: "The chick has a lot of experience going down the mountain this time. ”

"Hmph, thanks to me. However, the fairy sister still has a long way to go if she wants to see through the treacherous world of the world. ”

"Especially with your sinister creatures. ”

Brother Dog and I were blowing and blowing, and Lu Qiyue was eating slowly, and finally finished a bowl of noodles. The waitress picked up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Qiyue.

Lu Qiyue begged to say something to the waiter, but the waiter shook her head with a smile after listening in amazement for a while, turned around and continued to walk back to the store, while Lu Qiyue could only watch the waiter leave again in frustration.

At this time, Brother Dog and I had already hid in the store to take a peek, and when the waitress walked back to the store, her friendly smile disappeared, and she dissatisfiedly handed the dishes and chopsticks to a tray of a waiter who was cleaning up the table.

"Take it well, don't be bad! Oh hey~ It takes so long to eat noodles, what kind of woman, that's. ”

The waitress beat her arms in dissatisfaction, it seems that feeding people is not so easy.

My dog brother and I were about to leave when the waitress suddenly called out to me.

"Hey, what did that girl say about the cultivator monster, why do you want me to save her?"

I hugged my military coat and replied: "Don't care, I said that she is not mentally normal, you should not have heard it." ”

"Hey, the little is still perfunctory?"

Brother Dog and I hurriedly left the ramen restaurant so as not to be entangled in such a dangerous goods.

Me: "Lu Qiyue's little is better not to meet this boss lady again, otherwise it will be very sad." ”

Brother Dog: "I will definitely despair of humans!"

Brother Dog and I made a detour to Lu Qiyue, and at this time, Lu Qiyue just stood up again, ready to leave, and as soon as she looked up, she saw me coming to her.

In the dim street lamp, Lu Qiyue's haggard face still had a glimmer of hope. And when they saw me, the little flame ignited with the surprise that gradually reacted, and it became more and more vigorous.

"Hi~"

I held my coat in one hand and waved at her with a smile.

Lu Qiyue was surprised at first, but after seeing the coat in her hand, she seemed to understand something, and although the expression on her face was complicated, the expression of disgust was the most obvious.

"You've been following me?"

"You can't escape from the palm of my hand, come home with me. ”

The expression on her face looked even more complicated, as if she was puzzled, struggling and hesitating, engaged in a fierce battle of thoughts. Finally she stared at me angrily and said, "Is that my home, I will never go back!"

At this hour, occasionally a couple passing by holding hands, after hearing our conversation, whispered to us and said and laughed, and did not forget to look back when we walked away.

"I'm sorry, but that's not for you. ”

I walked towards Lu Qiyue, and when she saw me coming, her eyes were a little panicked, and she turned around and prepared to escape. But as soon as I took a step, I caught up with her, grabbed her by the arm with one hand and pulled her back into my arms, and with the other I put my coat over her.

"Let go of me, you youkai, let go of me!

"Let's make trouble, brother, don't take care of children, even if you shout and cut your throat, no one will come to save you. ”

She still wanted to struggle, but I grabbed the hem of her coat with both hands, and she was wrapped in her clothes and couldn't run. And I carefully buttoned her coat while she was moving.

One button, two buttons, three buttons......

Brother Dog squatted aside, wagging his tail and watching, and the breath he exhaled from his mouth turned into white smoke in this freezing sky.

When the deduction was halfway, Lu Qiyue stopped struggling and shouting, and it was so strange to me. And when I looked up at her, she stared at me with resentment in her eyes. It seems that he finally understood that the struggle was in vain.

I was suddenly a little cramped and embarrassed, which is a rare thing.

I said, "Wait, it'll be fine soon." Then he quickly buttoned the rest of the buttons for her.

"Wood holly. Brother Dog said to me in a strange tone.

"What?"

I was very surprised that this stupid dog interjected at this time, but then without saying anything, I felt a special gaze looking here, which made me stop buttoning Lu Qiyue and follow the dog's gaze to look not far from the street.

Lu Qi, under the street lamp, is looking here.

Judging from her slightly makeup dress, she should have just come home from singing at the bar, and she didn't expect to meet here.

Without saying anything, she turned and left.

The dim light of the street lamp, all kinds of chaotic lights in the city, illuminated Lu Qi's figure, farther and farther away.

I stared at her back for a while, and then continued to lower my head and button Lu Qiyue, and said unhappily: "I didn't even say hello when I met." ”

The dog licked his tongue, wagged his tail, and didn't speak.

When I buttoned all the buttons of my coat, I looked up and found Lu Qiyue looking in a daze in the direction where Lu Qi left. I waved my hand in front of her before she came back to her senses.

"Home. I said.

Lu Qiyue changed back to that serious expression and said, "Again, it's not my home!

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. ”

I grabbed the empty sleeve of my coat and said, "I promised you that I would let you go, don't worry, this is my promise to you." But when you stop hating us youkai. ”

"That can't be......!

No matter what she said, I pulled her by the sleeve and headed home. She was annoyed and wanted to stop, but she couldn't do it with her strength, and it would only tear her coat apart.

I walked as I went, turned around and threatened her, "So disobedient, do you want Brother Holly to carry you away?"

Then she looked at me nervously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stopped struggling, and let me walk, although it was very slow along the way, and I often had to pull my sleeve hard before I wanted to move.

But no matter what, she seems to have forgotten all the "frustrating" things about this night's escape, and looks much more relaxed.

It took more than half an hour to walk from the city to the outskirts of the city. I don't care about Brother Dog, but Lu Qiyue, who has been tired for a day, already looks quite tired. I don't mind carrying her on my back, but she's going to choke my neck when I carry her.

We slowed down a little longer, and Brother Dog walked in front leisurely, and then I pulled the sleeve of the military coat with one hand behind me, and Lu Qiyue followed me silently. If you look at the person next to you, it is a couple walking their dogs.

Bang - fireworks.

From behind him came a long, long, deep sound.

My brother and I stopped and turned to look at the fireworks over Aoki City, which was filled with brilliant fireworks in the sky behind us at Christmas, bringing a different kind of peace to the silence.

And Lu Qiyue didn't know what to think, so she hit me directly on the chest without noticing anything, and after reacting, she panicked and pulled away together.

My attention shifted from the fireworks in the sky to Lu Qiyue.

"What do you think?"

Lu Qiyue looked at me and was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and returned to her previous tranquility.

"If you think about it, I realize that you monsters are very different from the ones that the master said. ”

I was amused and laughed, "So, you've finally come to your senses, and you've realized that we're kind monsters?"

"I really want to kill you!"

I pursed my lips depressedly, but Lu Qiyue said again: "I found out from the time you cremated the monster, no, I should say that I found out from the time I met you, it turns out that the monster has feelings." ”

I laughed and said, "This is natural! Monsters are living beings, just like cats and dogs (I kicked the dog), their hearts are innocent, good and bad are only determined by people, but they themselves have no chance to prove themselves." Feelings, seven emotions and six desires, anyone will have them. Monsters are the same as cultivators, although you are a cultivator, but there is no guarantee that you will have someone you like one day. ”

After hearing this, Lu Qiyue turned her face away angrily.

"Nonsense!"

Tsk, it seems that she is not yet good enough to accept what I have to say, and there is still a long way to go to change a stubborn woman.

Depressed, I shifted my gaze back to the fireworks in the night sky of Aoki City. And Lu Qiyue, after glancing at me, followed my gaze to the sky. Soon, her eyes were filled with the brilliance of fireworks, and at least at this moment I could feel her mood was joyful.

The fireworks at Christmas are also very beautiful.
