Xunhua sat on the top of a very tall tree.
This is a very good season. Many flowers in the courtyard are in bloom. The willows and flowers are beautiful, and the vitality is pleasing to the eye.
Compared to the bright flowers hanging on the branches, Xunhua prefers some inconspicuous little ones in the shade.
Xunhua watched a crooked seed idly for several days, and today it finally sprouted its first leaf from the cracks in the rocks with difficulty in a twisted posture.
A wet snail crawled along the grass neck in the moonlight for a whole hour, leaving sticky liquid behind, and finally happily drilled into the depths of the damp humus.
What I like most is that under the soil, groundhogs have given birth to a litter of cubs. The whole family huddles together, making some chirping noises.
Xunhua also saw Lin Yuan, who was sitting under a flower tree and chewing his fingers.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about something recently?" Xunhua asked her.
Lin Yuan raised his head and saw half of a silver mask and a small section of a human jaw through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
This is a tree, with roots, trunk and branches. She stood at the bottom of the tree, and without opening her mouth, she easily passed what she wanted to say through the trunk of the tree to the gardener sitting on the treetop.
"So you're worried about this kind of thing." Xunhua, who was half leaning on the branch, seemed to be smiling, "You look much better now than when I first met you. You look more and more like a human being."
"I have learned to think of simple things as so complicated."
Xunhua was making fun of her, but this was perhaps the sentence that Lin Yuan wanted to hear the most.
Like a human being.
You will be liked by others and have the ability to like others.
"If you still don't understand what you're thinking, why not invite him to join your action this time?"
“When you spend every day together, ask yourself and your body carefully.”
Does the body count, too? Lin Yuan tilted his head and thought about it.
"Of course, all behaviors of life are driven by desire. Whether you like that killer whale or not, your body may know it before your brain does."
At this moment, the light was on in the kitchen on the first floor, and there was a ding-dong sound coming from it. Guo Suo was preparing a midnight snack for everyone.
Lin Yuan stood under the tree, and the tentacles responded more excitedly than ever.
[Like like like like like like like like like]
The voices of the tentacles echoed together.
We love fish
[I like the shape of his fingers, and I like to see him forcibly holding on to the sheets.]
[I like his voice, hehe, his voice is always charming]
[When he cries a little, I can give him my life]
[I only like fish tails, I am a fish tail control]
I like the taste of tongue
I like whole fish
Almost every tentacle expressed its opinion, as if a hundred mouths were talking at the same time. Lin Yuan was overwhelmed by the noise.
Xunhua, who was on the top of the tree, raised her arms and rested her head on them to lie more comfortably.
"Do you know why I was willing to come out with you in the first place?"
Lin Yuan thought about it under the tree. She actually knew.
What moved Xunhua was not anything, but the words she said to Windsor.
Those words expressed Xunhua's feelings.
On a moonlit night, Xunhua's voice came through the swaying shadows of the trees.
"When I was still human, I didn't think I was worthy of liking Windsor."
"Then I became a mutant, lost my human emotions, and became another kind of creature. I don't think it's possible for me to like anything again."
"But I see her every day. We have been together for four hundred years. I find that even as a monster, I have fallen in love with that girl again."
"I've always wanted to tell her that the so-called moon in her heart is just a cold and boring stone. That stone is falling more and more in love with her, a flesh-and-blood mouse, day by day."
"Four hundred years. I've always wanted to say this. I should really tell her in person while she's still here."
"Why didn't you speak up at the beginning?"
Xunhua's voice dissipated among the branches and leaves. The wind blew through the jungle, and the rustling sound of the leaves seemed to be telling of endless regrets.
The gardener, half lying on the treetop, stopped talking.
Lin Yuan, sitting under the tree, gnawed his fingers for a while, then lowered his head and opened his personal terminal.
I edited the text message carefully.
[This word is wrong, too cold. ]
[It’s not right to use this, it’s not cute enough]
[Emoji, the expression is used wrongly, it means speechless]
[Add a heart! Must add! Pink, shiny! ]
[Send it to him, send it to him]
It took a long time for the message to be sent, but the other party did not reply. There was not even a message that it was being typed.
Lin Yuan waited for a long time and fell asleep sitting under the tree.
Several golden branches meandered down, lifted her body, and carried her to the top floor window, into the attic, and placed her on the bed.
He casually stuffed the little killer whale on the bedside table into her quilt.
Song Yuansi came to the office of the Royal Guard in the White Tower.
Song Yuansi was in high spirits these days, running to Ni Ji's office every day, feeling full of energy every day.
"Senior, have you been up all night?"
Song Yuansi was surprised to see the thick stack of organized files next to Ni Ji.
There was a royal banquet last night, which lasted until very late. The senior has already handled so many things this early in the morning, which is really diligent.
"Have you been working too hard lately? There are some things that don't need to be dealt with so hastily." Song Yuansi asked puzzledly.
Ni Ji signed the last document in his hand and handed it to him.
"I'm going to a contaminated area and may not be in the tower for a while. I want to arrange what needs to be done first so that I can give others a reply that they can go for sure."
"To the contaminated area?" Song Yuansi asked in surprise, "Didn't you just come back from the contaminated area not long ago? Why are you going there again?"
Ni Ji waved his hand without further explanation, "If there is anything during this period, you can report directly to Chief Luther."
He stood up and left, heading towards the bathroom in the Sentinel training camp.
In the early morning hours, most of the sentries had not yet gotten up and there was almost no one in the bathroom.
Ni Ji took off the personal terminal on his wrist and washed his face in front of the mirror.
The cold water ran down my cheeks.
After a sleepless night, the person in the mirror looked energetic and excited, with an imperceptible joy hidden in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He put on his personal terminal again. The avatar he was particularly interested in was at the top of the screen and it lit up when he touched it lightly.
The pink heart at the end of the chat record is clearly visible.
I watched it over and over again throughout the night.
Such childish behavior is laughable.
But I can't control myself.
He was all alone in this world, doing dangerous things that could get him killed at any time, so he had no right to be so happy or laugh like this.
But just because of this small graphic on his personal terminal, he was filled with joy for the whole night.
He took another look and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Someone pushed open the bathroom door and came in. Ni Ji glanced at him sideways and his eyes turned cold.
The Jiang Yangshuo who stopped Lin Yuan last night.
Jiang Yangshuo was surprised to suddenly run into Ni Ji in the bathroom.
He stood by the door, staring at Ni Ji beside the sink, his eyes were gloomy and his face looked very ugly.
Ni Ji withdrew his gaze and stood by the sink, adjusting his cuffs, calmly and unhurriedly.
Without looking back, you can tell what the eyes are like staring at you from behind.
"Lin Yuan said that you were with her?"
Jiang Yangshuo's voice was very low, with a hint of wild animal breath, like an angry leopard hiding in the dark.
His spiritual body is a cheetah, and when he is emotionally excited, cheetah characteristics appear on his body.
Ni Ji supported himself on the edge of the cold pool with his hands, looked sideways at him, and raised his eyebrows, which was considered as his agreement.
Even though he had never been given a name, he would never deny it at this time.
The killer whale is so ferocious that it may only bow its head in front of one person.
"She, do you know that she is an aggressive guide?" Jiang Yangshuo's eyes were red, his eyes were golden yellow, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"Lin Yuan's mental power is so powerful that it will only cause the sentinels to feel pain."
Ni Ji said nothing, but just sneered. The sound was full of mockery, even harsher than cursing.
"People like you would stay with her and tolerate her only to cling to her royal bloodline." The cheetah bared its teeth and tensed its body, trying to provoke the killer whale. "You can't really like an aggressive guide, you shameless man."
Ni Ji slowly wiped his hands with a handkerchief and turned around.
He was much taller than Jiang Yangshuo, and he slowly approached him with a smile on his face, causing Jiang Yangshuo to subconsciously step back and completely provoked into his half-beast form.
His face was covered with leopard spots, his mouth showed sharp fangs, and he made low guttural sounds.
Ni Ji adjusted the discipline buttons of his military uniform. He did not transform into a half-beast, nor did he summon a spirit.
He moved closer to Jiang Yangshuo, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "It turns out that she has never been close to you."
The beautiful eyelids reveal a sense of irony and unfulfilled meaning.
I have, and I know how good she is.
Although the words were not spoken, his eyes expressed them bluntly, revealing an unbearable smugness.
The half-orc cheetah finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared, rushing towards him.
In the early morning, several muffled sounds were heard from the toilet of the sentry training camp.
When Song Yuansi rushed in to check, everything was over.
His mild-mannered senior was standing at the sink washing his hands.
"Nothing." Senior Ni Ji smiled at him and washed off the last bit of blood on his fist under the running water. "I just did something I wanted to do for a long time."
There were faint moans and a distinct smell of blood in the toilet cubicle. With the sentinel's keen five senses, there was no way he could not detect it.
Song Yuansi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and cleverly pretended he heard nothing.
