Early in the morning, Chu Qianxun got his head out of the warm cashmere blanket and rolled twice inside the blanket while holding the fluffy pillow. The just-baked sheets still smelled of sunshine, so comfortable that she almost wanted to stay on them.
The aroma of the food has come in from outside the door.
Chu Qianxun got up from the bed with a bone.
Pushing open the door, Ye Peitian, who was sitting at the dining table, raised his head and looked at her. Under the silver-white covering, his thin lips slightly moved upward.
The yard is full of the movements of various households washing up, mixed with the smell of various meals.
The morning light crossed the courtyard wall, and strands of light were scattered on the slate floor in the courtyard.
Ye Peitian just sat in the hustle and bustle of the city, looked up at her, and showed a little smile at Chu Qianxun.
At this moment, it seemed that he was no longer a human demon with red eyes under the moonlight, nor the ghost imprisoned in endless loneliness in the desert.
He can actually laugh, blush because of some inexplicable trifle, and try to live hard.
Since entering Baima Town and living in the crowd, Chu Qianxun noticed Ye Peitian's discomfort and unease, but also felt his efforts and gentleness.
Maybe he is also eager to be able to return to the crowd life as he is now.
"Can you get used to it? Do you feel uncomfortable living in such a place?" Chu Qianxun sat down at the table,
At this moment, there was an expectation in her heart that she didn't realize, expecting that he would also be willing to stay in such a world and stay by her side.
Ye Peitian's brows and eyes were blocked by silver blinds, only pale lips were exposed, and no expression could be seen. He picked up the chopsticks easily and put vegetables in Chu Qianxun's bowl.
This time it's troublesome, this person has very few words, and now he doesn't know what he is thinking. Chu Qianxun felt a little annoyed.
"Well," Ye Peitian finally said softly, "I like it very much."
Chu Qianxun didn't know why she was so happy, but in a word, a sense of joy came from the bottom of her heart, which made her appetite, and she ate a bowl of rice more than usual.
In the morning, the courtyard gradually began to become lively.
The woman who lived in the northwest corner was mourning and weeping in her house at this time every morning, crying to herself about her misery.
Meng Laosan, who lives next door to her, will open the door to the sound of her crying, and walk out one or two young women who are smokin'-eyed. He gave an incomprehensible look,
Meng Laosan has a nickname called Meng Sansao that only he himself does not know. Perhaps this is the reason why he likes to take women home for the night every day to flaunt himself. Most of the hard work he earned from hunting demons at Tier 3 is spent on women.
Most people are walking out the door at this time, ready to start a busy day, but some people have just finished a night of work and returned to their residences to rest.
Xiao Mu came in from outside the gate of the courtyard. The corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and there were ferocious streak marks on his wrists, which were bruised and purple. He usually had a bit of a showman's personality, but today he just walked slowly and silently against the wall. Seeing Chu Qianxun and Ye Peitian, he did not deliberately appear surprised.
Although he was beaten by Ye Peitian, who lived with him in the yard, after years of beating, he actually knew very well who was really ruthless, and who was just frightening him.
"Brother?" An eight- or nine-year-old girl groped her way out of the room.
On her small face, there was a scar across her eyes. This scar, which looked like it was wounded by sharp claws, not only ruined her delicate face, but also made her lose her light.
"Brother, are you not feeling well?" The girl groped for her brother's clothes.
"No," Xiao Mu's voice was so calm that he couldn't hear any clues. He touched his sister's hair and handed her a paper bag, "Take it and eat it."
The sun is gradually rising amid the hustle and bustle, and the warm autumn sun shines on the life in Baima Town.
Humans are highly adaptable creatures, but in just a few years, the prosperous and comfortable life in the Golden Age has only appeared in the midnight dreams of a small number of people. In this dark age where monsters are rampant, almost all the survivors are trying their best to live tenaciously in their own way.
Chu Qianxun threw a huge long horn on Lao Guo's workbench. There was a distinctive blue sheen flowing on the sharp, slender corners.
"How about this, Uncle Guo?" She rubbed her injured shoulder and leaned against the counter, "Give Lin Fei a handy long sword?"
"Yes, yes, the horns of the fifth-order monsters are excellent in hardness and ductility, and are suitable for one-handed swords." Lao Guo stopped his work and looked at the long sharp horn over and over several times.
"It's just you, a girl, running around all day hunting for materials, but leaving Lin Fei at home to cook and wash clothes." Lao Guo shook his head and took out a can of trauma medicine and placed it on the counter. " Tsk tsk, today's young people, we can't tell."
"Don't say that, Uncle Guo, it's because I'm not as good as him, so I need to practice more." Chu Qianxun put his injured and bleeding arm on the counter with his backhand and gave himself medicine.
In Chu Qianxun's heart, whether it is a friend, a couple, or any relationship, if the level of the two people is too different, it will be difficult to maintain an equal relationship for a long time.
She has never taken the initiative to improve her abilities like she is now, and the consciousness of wanting to become stronger is becoming more and more clear in her heart. This is not for Ye Peitian, but for herself, in order to be able to live a free and unrestrained life like another self, to dominate her own life. Live the life you want and protect the people you want to protect.
"Qianxun?" Ye Peitian's voice came from outside the house.
Chu Qianxun was startled, and quickly put her injured arm behind her back. She retracted her fingers, but before she could catch a drop of blood that dripped from her arm, the red blood splashed to the ground with a clatter.
Ye Peitian stepped into the store, reached out and pulled out her arm behind her back, and glanced silently.
Obviously he couldn't see his expression, only his lips were slightly pressed together, but Chu Qianxun felt that he was angry for no reason.
"It's just a little skin injury, it doesn't matter, it will be fine in a while." Chu Qianxun hurriedly covered it up.
"I'm just wandering around the base, and there aren't any powerful monsters around here."
"I just want to be idle and idle, it's better to practice my hands."
"A monster of this level means nothing to you, so I didn't specifically call you."
Ye Peitian led her into the house without saying a word, Chu Qianxun kept explaining as she walked, for some reason she felt a little guilty for no apparent reason.
After entering the room, Ye Peitian asked Chu Qianxun to sit beside the bed, sat down opposite her, and pulled out the short blade he carried with him.
Chu Qianxun grabbed his wrist, "No."
Ye Peitian turned his face, and the silver blindfold turned towards her.
"No." Chu Qianxun said firmly, with a tone that could not be rejected, "I'm not seriously injured, why do you want you to hurt yourself to treat me."
She knew that Ye Peitian's recovery was exceptionally strong, and if she wanted to shed enough blood, she had to at least cut her palm as deeply as last time.
"Look, it's really just a small injury, it's just a little bit of skin, not even a bone. I'm also a fifth-order saint, and it will heal soon." Maybe she thought she was too serious, she said again Slowed down, "Or, give me some medicine."
Ye Peitian was deadlocked for a moment, and finally compromised. He pulled out the medicine from his backpack, gently pulled up Chu Qianxun's injured arm, cleaned the wound, applied the medicine, and wrapped the snow white around her arm in a circle. of bandages.
"If you want the Demon Seed," he said.
"It's not a demon, I want to become stronger," Chu Qianxun gestured, "Stronger, stronger, until one day I can fight side by side and no longer rely solely on your protection."
Ye Peitian stopped talking, his palms were steady, his fingertips were slightly cold, and his movements were so meticulous and cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting Chu Qianxun.
For Chu Qianxun, such a wound was just a small wound that he was accustomed to. She might not even be lazy to lick a wound of this magnitude on the battlefield on weekdays.
But when someone took this matter to heart and treated it with such care, she suddenly felt that the wound had become hypocritical, the pain that could have been ignored, with the touch of Ye Peitian's fingers, How did it become so sensitive and clear
"Pei Tian. There's one thing I've always wanted to tell you." Chu Qianxun looked at her wounded head, which was lowered in front of her eyes.
"When we first met, I took your blood without your consent. Although it was to save one of my best friends, it was wrong. I should apologize to you."
Ye Peitian's fingers holding the snow-white bandage suddenly stopped moving. After a while, he said softly, "What's the matter... I'm sorry."
"No, I should say sorry to you, everyone who did this should apologize to you."
Ye Peitian's Adam's apple rolled, and his thin lips opened slightly. Although he quickly turned his face away, his steady hands trembled uncontrollably, revealing his uncontrollable emotions. .
Although he knew about Ye Peitian's past, Chu Qianxun knew that he would never be able to truly understand what kind of scars those hellish torture left in his heart.
Chu Qianxun took Ye Peitian's hand instead, pulled him over, took him by the shoulder, and gave him a hug.
It wasn't until she felt his tense back muscles relax slowly that Chu Qianxun heard a low voice coming from behind the head resting on her shoulder.
"A devil like me, don't I deserve this?"
The voice was very soft, with an uncontrollable sadness and grievance.
Chu Qianxun gently smoothed his back, "Even though everyone still doesn't understand it, I understand."
"You are not wrong, it is those who have lost their hearts and are greedy and sinister."
