Yu Huai stretched out his hand and took him into his arms.
Xu Yinian's weight didn't quite match his stature, he was obviously 1.8 meters tall, so he didn't feel much momentum when he bumped into him all of a sudden. He softly called Xu Yinian's name, making sure that he really passed out, Yu Huai bent down and let the boy fall down slowly with his arms. He wrapped his arms around Xu Yinian's back, put his other hand through the bend of his legs, and easily lifted him up horizontally.
For Yaozu, hugging a human is like hugging a rag doll, it takes almost no effort.
The female manager of the Oak Mountain Arena has been waiting since Xu Yinian stepped down. According to the usual practice, she needs to explain the rewards given by the arena to the winners of this month. In addition to the bonuses, the arena will also hold a celebration banquet for the winners. Seeing that Yu Huai was holding Xu Yinian as if he was about to leave, the female manager boldly asked, "Are you going to send him to a treatment point? There are many mermaids over there who are willing to help him heal for free."
The monster race worships power, and the winner of the arena will gain the favor of countless banshees, who often take the initiative to find the winner for a night of carnival. In addition to money, the beautiful and charming banshee is also the reason that drives most monsters to the stage.
Besides, Xu Yinian is a human being.
Most of the winners in the arena are monster races. Few humans can stand to the end in this place. The mermaids who have always been arrogant are full of curiosity about the winner tonight. They want to see him with their own eyes, and want to get closer to him. Say a few words. Even the female manager herself became interested in this scarred human being. He curled up in the boss's arms, looking terribly weak, and formed a sharp contrast with the decisive appearance on the stage.
"No need." Yu Huai said, "I'll treat him."
"The celebration banquet that night..."
He directly made the decision for Xu Yinian: "He won't go."
In a few words, Yu Huai's attitude was clear enough. Most of the monsters who booed and watched the excitement before were joking, and the female manager didn't take it seriously. Only then did she realize that she had made a mistake.
"Sorry." She apologized quickly. No matter what their relationship was, the boss obviously cared about him. When she thought of implying in front of the boss that there were many maidens who wanted to be intimate with this human being, the female manager wanted to bump her head on the stage.
"Then I won't bother you." She bowed and hurried away.
There was a crackling sound in the air, and the space in front of Yu Huai split apart like shattered glass. In the auditorium not far away, the monster who saw this scene showed envy: "I heard that Boss Yu can enter and leave various places in Freeport at will. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. This is simply more convenient than the teleportation array."
"This is his authority. This city recognizes the Lord, and the way he enters and exits the Freeport is also different from ours."
"Freeport is the legacy left to him by Mrs. Xuan. If that incident hadn't happened, he might not be so prosperous now." The older monster recalled. For the face of the family, I heard that the Xu family didn't want to marry the ghost clan at first, what happened in the end? It wasn't even a word from him, and the person became his."
"That brat from the Xu family is lucky. If the boss is still interested in him, he can easily grab him now!"
"It's as if someone can't forget that old relationship. How long has it been? Will he be short of this one? Look at the splendor of Freeport, I want to have a date with him."
…
The monsters didn't deliberately lower their volume when they spoke, and Yu Huai could hear their arguments clearly. He walked straight into the cracked space with Xu Yinian in his arms, leaving the crowded Oak Mountain Arena behind.
The fissures coalesce, and the last tumult disappears.
The huge room is like an open palace, the dome-shaped ceiling is integrated with the wall, and there is no gap in the connection. In Freeport, where every inch of land is expensive, such a luxurious space can buy countless rare treasures. The floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the brilliant night, and when you look down, the whole city seems to bow down.
Nan Zhi came to change flowers in the room not long ago, and the faint smell of tuberose floated in the air.
Yu Huai gently put the person on the bed, and after dispelling the illusion, Xu Yinian's true appearance was revealed. He sat by the bed and unbuttoned Xu Yinian's clothes with one hand.
The clothes were off, and the injury looked a little scary. Xie Qihan's attacks have always been simple and rough, and he especially likes to attack in a large area. A lot of skin on Xu Yinian's body was scratched. There was a scratch on his neck that was still oozing blood. If the blade of the bone knife penetrated a little deeper, he might be killed on the spot; the most seriously injured calf was injured twice during the fast running, and the inside could already be seen bones. Yu Huai touched lightly with her fingertips, and the unconscious person twitched slightly due to the pain.
It seems that from a long time ago, Xu Yinian liked to fight with desperate means.
The students of Fengqiao College have to go out to kill monsters from time to time, and once he happened to meet Xu Yinian returning from the task. The black-haired, black-eyed boy was supported by his classmates, and his body was painted. At that time, he and Xu Yinian pretended to be a couple for half a year, and their relationship was known to the whole school. When the classmate who was supporting Xu Yinian saw him, he shouted happily: "Senior Yu!"
Yu Huai noticed that Xu Yinian had injuries all over his body. The most seriously injured left leg was wrapped with bandages, making it difficult to walk. The classmate seemed very excited, pointing at Xu Yinian and talking non-stop: "You don't know, he's really amazing! We encountered more than a dozen Night Walkers in this mission, and we were going to give up at first, so we rely on him to turn the tide !"
Xu Yinian glanced at Yu Huai, his beautiful eyes were extraordinarily bright, hiding a little smug expression: "It's okay, it's not particularly dangerous."
The classmate made a fuss: "Isn't this dangerous enough? Awesome, you can stand the excitement too much."
Yu Huai's face sank, he stretched out his hand to hold Xu Yinian's shoulder, and said to the classmate who was supporting him: "I'm sorry, I'll send him back."
The classmates agreed repeatedly, and handed Xu Yinian into Yu Huai's hands. The boy's body leaned forward, and because he accidentally touched the wound, Xu Yinian hissed unconsciously. Yu Huai's expression was not very good-looking, but Xu Yinian didn't pay attention. To be precise, he hardly paid attention to Yu Huai's mind at that time, he was used to it. Xu Yinian asked with a smile: "Yu Huai, have you killed Ye Xingmei? You should have killed them. It took me a lot of effort to know that I have to completely destroy their shadows, otherwise I can restore them no matter how I kill them... I was almost killed by a group of people." The claw went right through, luckily I reacted quickly and only hurt my leg."
"The rest of our group was going to retreat, but I got the upper hand and they all came back."
He whispered non-stop in his ear, showing off with a little youth. Yu Huai's repressed anger became more and more intense, and he was finally interrupted by a voice: "Do you think you did the right thing? Everyone knows to retreat, and you are the only one left."
Xu Yinian was taken aback, and asked back: "I can kill them, why run away?"
Yu Huai's tone was not kind: "You like to work hard so much? The daily tasks are just for experience, and you are not required to complete them at all costs."
Xu Yinian's voice also faded: "I do what I should do, why do you teach me?"
Since the acquaintance, Xu Yinian has never spoken to him in such a distant tone, Yu Huai's heart was stabbed, and he couldn't help but hold his hand tightly. .
He stared at Xu Yinian: "Have you never considered my feelings?"
Seeing Xu Yinian felt uncomfortable, he threw off his hand and yelled at him aggressively: "What am I thinking about you! Who are you? Do you really think of yourself as my boyfriend?"
Seeing him limping out of sight, Yu Huai forced herself to endure and endure, so as not to catch this unfamiliar wolf cub back on the spot.
But then...
Thinking of what happened not long ago, Yu Huai's brows and eyes softened a little.
A spirit body with a human body and a fishtail appeared out of nowhere, flicking its small tail in the air. A transparent film appeared on Yu Huai's hands, which was regarded as exorcising ghosts. He hugged Xu Yinian, folded his arms, let him lean against his chest, and stroked the wound with his free hand.
A merfolk's limbs are covered with a transparent membrane, and most wounds can be healed by touching this membrane.
Inevitably, during the treatment, his fingertips were stained with Xu Yinian's blood, and the warm blood flowed down the surface of the film. He actually doesn't like the mermaid's ability very much, it's slippery and greasy. Healing abilities are rare, but he has killed other monsters who are good at healing, the reason why he uses this ability...
Yu Huai's fingers ran down the snow-white neck, and his thumb lightly scraped across the Adam's apple, holding the almost fatal knife wound.
As if aware that someone else was holding his vitals, Xu Yinian's eyelashes twitched uncomfortably, and the small tear mole trembled accordingly, making it impossible to look away.
Even after many years, Yu Huai still remembers the first time he saw him.
The boy looked at the crowd with a cool expression on his face, but his childish eyes still showed envy inadvertently.
What is this child envious of
Soon Yu Huai knew who he was and his fate, and realized that Xu Yinian envied those ordinary people who were not bound by fate, Yu Huai began to pay attention to him unconsciously, like chasing a butterfly with his eyes. He watched Xu Yinian walk through the playground at dusk alone, with a schoolbag hanging lazily on his shoulder; the next day, director Qin, who was in fifth grade, lashed out at this kid, saying that he had taught for decades The book has not met the strange thing about carrying an empty schoolbag to deal with the teacher. If you memorize your homework one night, it is impossible for you to pass the theoretical test like that!
…
If he is willing to come to me, I will take good care of him.
When Xu Yinian was scolded so badly by Director Qin and was finally punished to go to the library to copy the school rules, Yu Huai suddenly had this idea.
The person in his arms moved his eyelids at this moment, and finally opened his eyes a crack. Xu Yinian stared at the front blankly and dazedly, feeling someone hugging him in a trance, he tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see where he was.
Still tired, he forced himself to wake up out of years of vigilance. But he was too tired, he couldn't even do a complete thought, he could only roughly observe the outline of the person who was embracing him.
In the haze, he saw a pair of familiar eyes.
Xu Yinian almost thought he was dreaming, he didn't know whether he was awake or not. He was so dizzy that he simply gave up on himself and let himself do what he wanted to do most at this moment.
He whispered: "Yu Huai..."
Because of the low volume, when he called his name, he seemed to be begging for help and begging for mercy.
The monster was hooked by him, and his movements stopped.
After not getting a response for a long time, Xu Yinian moved his sore fingers unwillingly, and barely grabbed the person who was close at hand. His fingertips trembled, and when he was close to him, it was like being close to a shivering cub. After several weak scratches like this, Xu Yinian passed out again. Looking at his defenseless appearance, Yu Huai's eyes gradually softened, and at the last moment, she held back his hand that had slipped due to loss of strength.
He slowly stuck his fingers between the boy's fingers, and then clasped his five fingers together and clasped his fingers together, as if they were inseparable from each other. Maintaining this posture, he slowly loosened the arms encircling Xu Yinian, and then supported his back with his palms, so that he could lie on the bed safely.
In order to treat him, he needs to maintain physical contact with Xu Yinian all the time. Yu Huai paid special attention to the location of the wound, and after making sure that the wound would not be crushed, she lay down beside her. Noticing that every movement of his was unconsciously cautious, he couldn't help smiling, and said to himself: "How long has it been since..."
He stretched out his hand and lightly clasped the shoulder of the person next to the pillow, wrapped his long arms around, and pulled him into his arms.
Xu Yinian's cheeks and neck were the color of suet, his lips were slightly pale due to blood loss, this sick and weak appearance did not affect his appearance at all. He grew up and his appearance became more and more beautiful.
If only a mermaid hugged him and healed his wounds...
The five fingers clasped unconsciously tightened, and Yu Huai lowered his eyes.
— He will probably break that hand directly.
On a cold night in Freeport, the temperature on Xu Yinian's body was indescribably alluring. Even though he possesses such powerful explosive power, his limbs are very soft when he relaxes. Holding him feels like catching a cloud.
Yu Huai hugged him tighter, and buried her head in his neck.
Like falling into a warm cloud.
