During lunch, Nie Hanqiu said nothing and just ate in silence.
Chu Xia looked at Xiaoxuan sitting next to them, hesitated and didn't speak, but just ate with him in silence.
Xiaoxuan, who was sitting between the two of them, looked at this and that. Seeing that neither of them said anything, he simply stopped talking himself.
After finishing the meal in silence, Nie Hanqiu held Chu Xia's hand. As soon as he walked out of the hotel door, he turned towards her and said seriously: "Chu Xia."
"Ah?" Chu Xia, who was thinking about how to speak, suddenly raised her head and looked at him as if by a conditioned reflex.
"In the next few days, I will go back to the Demon Realm with Ji Qinghe." Nie Hanqiu hesitated for a long time and finally said to Chu Xia: "You and Xiaoxuan stay here, waiting for me to come back."
"You..." Chu Xia looked into his deep eyes, her heart sank for no reason, and she said in a low voice: "Are you going to find those things on the list?"
"Yes." Nie Hanqiu nodded, and gently touched Chu Xia's furry head with his long and warm palms: "To be honest, it's a bit troublesome to find those things. Ji Qinghe alone probably won't be able to do it, so I Must go with him.”
"But..." Chu Xia felt a wave of reluctance in her heart. Just a few days after finding him to survive the danger, was he going to take another risk? "Is it going to be dangerous?"
"Don't worry." Nie Hanqiu leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Isn't the Eye of the Demon World in my body now? If you don't know how to use it, how can I still not know how to use it? There won’t be any danger.”
"I...can't I go??" Chu Xia raised her big clear eyes and asked him reluctantly.
"For me, there is no danger, but for you, it is very dangerous." Nie Hanqiu reached out and pinched her pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be back soon, It won’t be more than a week at the latest, and by then, I will remember everything about you.”
"..." Chu Xia's small hand gently covered his big hand. His palm was warm and soft, and it pressed against her cheek, bringing waves of warmth. She closed her eyes gently and nodded. : "Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."
If she couldn't help him, then at least... she couldn't hold him back.
Chu Xia's other hand squeezed Xiaoxuan's hand tightly. She was obviously very reluctant to let go, but she couldn't express it.
"Yes." Nie Hanqiu lowered his head and pecked her red lips gently, then turned his head and said to Xiaoxuan: "Take good care of your mother."
"Okay!" Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously.
On his little hands, the warmth from early summer passed through his cold skin and entered his body bit by bit. He had not felt this kind of warmth for hundreds of years, even just for this little reason. Warmth, he will also take good care of Chu Xia.
"You... are you leaving now??" After Chu Xia heard Nie Hanqiu's words, she was slightly stunned and asked.
"Well, Ji Qinghe's car is already waiting for me on the other side of the road." Nie Hanqiu smiled at her, pointed at a silver-white BMW parked across the road, and said in a gentle voice: "Take good care of yourself, I You'll be back soon, Lao Deng will come to pick you up later, please wait for him here."
