In the Kirin base, Xin Ziming sat in front of a large workbench, looking down at the documents on the table.
A subordinate stood at his desk reporting the collected information,
Xin Ziming didn't lift his head, only when he heard his subordinates say that the surrounding forces had dug the desert upside down and couldn't find Ye Peitian, he hummed softly, saying that he knew.
"Deputy Corps, are we really not going to act? Ye Peitian is wearing a magic lock and can't use his abilities. Now creation, God's love, glory... all have sent people, and I heard that the search scope has been expanded to the surrounding areas. Bases big and small."
Xin Ziming took a sip of the coffee at hand, looked away from the documents in front of him, and glanced at the subordinates standing in front of him.
"Akai, I was short-sighted before, have you ever thought that we may be able to get Ye Peitian, but we may not be able to keep it. The benefits brought by this person are too huge, fortune and misfortune, one careless It will destroy the unicorn."
Xin Ziming put down the warm coffee cup.
At that time, Ye Peitian had just been arrested. For this huge temptation, those third- and fourth-tier guilds dared to take risks and criticize their unicorns. At that moment, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't be in this mess. If he really openly imprisoned Ye Peitian, the unicorn will definitely become the target of public criticism, and there will never be peace.
Akai was very unconvinced: "Deputy regiment, who did we unicorns be afraid of?"
Xin Ziming waved his hand to interrupt him, "Let's not say anything else, even Ye Peitian is difficult to grasp. He is too ruthless, not only for the enemy, but also for himself. I think it is difficult for someone to bind him forever. ."
"Besides," Xin Ziming stretched out two fingers and gently moved the scales on his neck, "after all, I owe him a favor, so let's wait and see."
Akai is a member who has been with Xin Ziming since the beginning of Qilin's establishment. He knows exactly what kind of person their deputy head is. In front of their regiment, the concept of right and wrong is almost non-existent. When dealing with outsiders, as long as the interests are sufficient, he can tear up the treaty at any time and turn his face ruthlessly. Since the death of the head of the regiment Feng Chengyu, it was the first time he heard the word "human affection" from the deputy of the regiment.
"Tuanfu, you... do you have some sympathy for Ye Peitian?" Akai scratched his head, thinking of the terrifying man who did not hesitate to use self-destruction to perish with them in the yellow sand, "Speaking of which, that person is indeed unlucky. God's love can be in the hands of him, I heard that the early days of God's love in the research institute of Xiaozhou Village were recently exposed, and it was almost like hell."
"Sympathy?" Xin Ziming sneered at the corner of his mouth, buried his head, and started to study the materials again, "Since the head of the regiment and his brothers were killed by people who shouldn't be sympathetic in Hulu Town, this word has never existed in mine. dictionary."
In a dimly lit and heavily decorated shrine, the statue of the god with wings on its back lowered its eyebrows and looked pitifully at the believers kneeling at their feet.
"Holy Father." A female warrior in armor came behind him.
The man called Holy Father stood up and turned around, "Huaiyu, you are God's most loyal child. This time, I will leave everything to you."
…
Lao Guo's two rooms were full of clutter, and there was no room for meals.
So in the courtyard by the door of the house, a small table was set up, and the three of them had dinner around.
Ye Peitian cooked white rice and braised pork.
The three-layered meat cut into small cubes, colored in caramel, was simmered in a casserole for two hours, and the pieces were crystal clear and full of attractive colors. It is fat but not greasy in the mouth, salty and fragrant, and there is a special spicy taste in the soup. It is accompanied by fragrant white rice, which can make people swallow their tongues together.
Chu Qianxun's taste is rather heavy, and she likes to eat a little spicy food. Although she said that she doesn't choose anything, if someone deliberately caters to her taste and makes three meals in different ways, she will inevitably get used to her appetite. Sometimes she didn't dare to think about how she would go back to the old days of eating cold water instant noodles after leaving Ye Peitian.
Lao Guo was so angry that he swallowed the mountains and rivers. Chu Qianxun showed no signs of weakness. At the same time, she did not forget to quickly add vegetables to Ye Peitian's bowl, so that he could bring it back to the house to eat later while wearing a mask.
In a blink of an eye, the pot of braised pork was all divided up, leaving a bit of oily gravy at the bottom of the casserole. Lao Guo and Chu Qianxun stretched out their hands to grab the edge of the pot at the same time.
"Qianxun, you can eat it every day, but I can only eat it for a few days, so let your uncle let me, ah." Lao Guo pleaded with a wry face.
Chu Qianxun rolled his eyes at him and finally let go.
Lao Guo happily filled a large bowl of white rice, poured it into the casserole and mixed it, so that every plump grain of rice was coated with crystal clear gravy, and he ate it with satisfaction.
A woman appeared at the gate of the yard. This woman was in her thirties, but she had a sense of decay that was about to die. She walked across the yard without saying a word, opened a door, burrowed in, and banged. Close the door with a bang. After going in for a long time, the room was still dark and silent.
"The woman is fourth-level, but her husband and baby are dead, so she probably feels that life is meaningless. Every day she looks half-dead." Lao Guo introduced them to the residents in the yard.
Not long after, a short, wretched man came in at the door. The man walked in with his arms around two beautiful and attractive women. He shoved a woman in front of Lao Guo in an unclean manner, and showed off, "How is this girl, Lao Guo? If you like it, say it, don't be polite to your brother."
Lao Guo was not very enthusiastic about him and did not answer his words.
The man chased the two beauties who were very obedient to the side, and came over to speak, "Have you heard, Lao Guo? There's something new."
"Apart from Xiaozhou Village, what else is going on around here?"
"Several groups of people came from the town and said they wanted to search for that—" The man put his hand to his mouth and said in a low voice, "Human Ye Peitian."
Hearing this, Ye Peitian glanced at Chu Qianxun calmly.
Chu Qianxun didn't even look at him. He sat at the dining table with a smile on his chin and said, "This eldest brother, doesn't Ye Peitian live in the desert, why did he come to us?"
"A newcomer?" The man glanced at Chu Qianxun, but he was not wary of this smiling young woman.
"Who knows, I heard that every base around here is being searched. If anyone can provide information about that big devil, he will be rich." He rubbed three fingers and raised his chin at Chu Qianxun. "A total of five sixth-order demons."
After saying this, he straightened up, put his arms around the two women and went into the room.
"Don't pay attention to him, it's not a good thing." After the man entered the room, Lao Guo added.
Chu Qianxun stood up and prepared to clear the dishes.
A young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face stepped out of the gate. The man limped and walked inward, leaning on the wall. He suddenly raised his head and saw Chu Qianxun. , bent down and slipped all the way along the corner into his room.
This person was Xiao Mu who stopped Chu Qianxun at the entrance of the alley in the morning. The light in the room that belonged to him was quickly turned on, and voices came from inside, and a little girl could vaguely be heard shouting. elder brother.
Chu Qianxun looked at Lao Guo and Ye Peitian and expressed doubts about this person's attitude. Ye Peitian picked up the bowl and went back to the house without saying a word.
"Don't pay attention to him, that's not a good thing." With the same sentence, Lao Guo's tone was very different. Instead, he showed a little tolerance to this man who was engaged in a special occupation.
"My parents died two years ago, leaving behind two and a half small children. The little girl is always sick. The eldest has been in this business since he was an adult." He shook his head, "It's not easy for anyone these days. "
In the evening, the mask that Chu Qianxun was looking forward to was ready. She happily took it from Lao Guo and walked into the room with the thin and soft dark silver mask.
"The weapons and soft armor are not ready yet. Lao Guo helped drive this out first." Chu Qianxun stepped into the house.
Ye Peitian sat silently on the edge of the bed and lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
The messy and small utility room has been organized, and a small bed has been added. The bed was facing Ye Peitian's couch, with only an arm's distance between them. The bed was covered with a half-washed bed sheet, a fluffy pillow, and a camel-colored blanket folded as neatly as tofu.
When Chu Qianxun walked over, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the sheet that was covered with no wrinkle.
This man's words are always very few, and sometimes he can't hear a word from him all day, but in fact his thoughtfulness and carefulness overflowed from his every move all the time.
Chu Qianxun noticed that the heart in his chest was secretly starting to beat faster. She suddenly remembered what Lao Guo said,
If this man is reliable, you should have a good life with him.
"Dai, try wearing it." Chu Qianxun handed over the mask in his hand to conceal his feelings.
Ye Peitian raised his head a little dazedly, his slightly pale brows were reflected in the candlelight, and when he saw Chu Qianxun, he showed a trace of confusion and confusion.
Chu Qianxun reached out and took off the black mask on his face, and replaced him with a textured mask. The whole piece of dark silver cloth blocked his slightly soft eyebrows, only the shape of the bridge of the nose could be seen, revealing the pale lips and the firm jaw. His whole temperament suddenly became somewhat firm and angular.
Ye Peitian's eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful and charming, and when people look at him, they will inevitably be the first to be caught by those clear eyes.
At this moment, he was sitting beside the bed with his head held high, his eyes covered, Chu Qianxun couldn't help but notice his lips. Those lips were a little thin, slightly pursed, and the outlines were sensual and sultry. White neck, and rolling Adam's apple, a black collar stuck above the collarbone.
Chu Qianxun's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't look away for a while.
Oops, she said softly in her heart.
For Ye Peitian, the unique material made it possible to see everything outside clearly through a thin layer of silver threads in front of his eyes.
He raised his face, because he was sure that Chu Qianxun couldn't see his expression, and for the first time he finally summoned up the courage to look directly into the eyes of the person in front of him.
What made him secretly delighted was that he saw clearly and with certainty that the man stared at him with his head down, with light in those eyes, and what circulated between them was neither disgust nor fear, but vaguely a kind of love and praise.
Ye Peitian stared at those eyes,
"Chihiro," he said softly, "do you want anything?"
Chu Qianxun didn't understand what he meant, but Ye Peitian quickly closed his mouth.
Chu Qianxun lay down on the side of his bed with his arms on his back, looking at Ye Peitian who was sleeping on the other bed,
"Pei Tian, something is not right with you these two days. Are you not used to it? Come to such a place suddenly."
Ye Peitian lowered his eyes, his deep voice came from the dim candlelight,
"I'm a little scared, I'm afraid you're not real, I'm afraid that all this is still in that dream controlled by Xin Ziming."
After a long time, he added another sentence,
"If this is just a dream, please don't wake me up."
Chu Qianxun stretched out his hand, crossed the small gap between the two beds, and held his cold hand,
"This is never a dream, I promise you,"
