Children are thirsty for knowledge about unknown things. Looking at their concentrated expressions and their sparkling eyes, Qi Yan felt extremely warm in his heart.
No matter what the future holds, at least they will have a way to survive.
After teaching, Qi Yan told the children a short bedtime story as usual. The originally slightly gloomy weather outside has turned blue, and along with the stars, there is the auroral light in the sky, which is green and purple.
"Okay, that's the end of today's story." Qi Yan stood up and waved his hand: "It's time for you to go back to bed."
"Hey..." The children were obviously still unsatisfied.
"Go back and sleep quickly. You are living in a new tree house." Qi Yan said with a smile: "Don't you want to experience the feeling of sleeping in a tree house?"
Although the children have already lived in the tree house, the Samudians have just moved in and their lives have just stabilized. The children are still fresh about everything in the tree house.
Sure enough, after Qi Yan finished speaking, the children stood up and politely said goodbye to Qi Yan. Several little boys even ran to Dornier, rubbed their heads with a playful smile and left.
After the children dispersed, Qi Yan stared at Mas who hesitated to leave at the door.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yan walked over and asked softly, "Is there something you didn't understand just now?"
"... No." Mas lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I want to ask... can you give me some of that spring water?"
Qi Yan paused, as if he never expected that Maas would ask for the Fountain of Youth.
"... I'm sorry, Mars." Qi Yan shook his head: "I'm not sure yet whether this is the Fountain of Youth. If not, giving it to you will hurt you. But if it is, I will transfer the research on the Fountain of Youth to you. Tell everyone the result.”
A trace of loneliness flashed in Mas's eyes: "The Fountain of Youth can bring people back to life, right?"
Qi Yan was stunned, and suddenly thought of Mas's father...
"Okay, Mas!" Dornier's voice suddenly sounded. Qi Yan turned around and saw Dornier looking at Mas seriously, obviously listening to the entire conversation between the two.
Dornier walked up to Mas and cast his eyes lightly on him. After a long moment, he grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"We agreed, right? Don't let your father's affairs affect your mood." Dornier put his hand on Mas's head and rubbed it gently, giving him courage and warmth like a father does to his son. .
Mas' eyes gradually turned red. He nodded solemnly and wiped the tears from his face with his hand.
"Then... can I still come to listen to the story tomorrow?" With his red eyes open, Mas looked at Qi Yan cautiously and asked.
"Of course, if you want to come." Qi Yan and Dornier looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Mas left happily, and the little figure seemed to have put down all the burdens on his body, and quickly and lightly disappeared from the sight of Qi Yan and Dornier. There were only two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified, a little weird.
The image of Dornier slowly approaching him suddenly came to mind. Qi Yan's cheeks were pink, and he was preparing to go back to the attic in a panic.
"I'm going back to the attic first..."
"Wait!" Donil suddenly grabbed his hand before he was about to run away: "Just now... well, I just took off a dead leaf from your head, nothing more. Don't be embarrassed. It made me feel strange..."
Dornier, who was already carefree and informal, really didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
Qi Yan's eyes fell on his hand holding her wrist. After a long time, he gently pulled away.
"Well... you can let me go. I'm going to study the Fountain of Youth."
"Huh? Uh... Oh!" Dornier let go of Qi Yan. Qi Yan nodded and turned around to go up the stairs.
Dornier breathed an almost inaudible sigh of relief, raised his hand and placed it on his chest, feeling the rapid beating of his heart. Dorniel felt that he was incredible...
—Why does the heartbeat speed up? Why do you have a different feeling when you face Qi Yan
After standing there for a long time, Dornier turned around and pushed the door open.
He was going to take a bath at the newly discovered spring to calm down... Well, just calm down and it would be fine.
As soon as he left the tree house, Dornier bumped into Thea who was about to knock on the door. When Thea saw Dornier coming out, she was also startled, and then she showed an unabashed smile.
"Doniel!" Thea came over quickly: "Where are you going? I'll go with you!"
Dornier shook his head: "No, you don't need to come with me." Who brings a girl with him to take a bath
Siya's smile froze, and she looked a little sad.
"...Okay then." Thea whispered: "Doniel, you... hate me now? Because I refuted your proposal to keep that Shuta Master?"
Donil didn't understand why Thea suddenly mentioned something that happened so long ago. When he saw Siya's sad look again, Doniel just thought it was because he was too busy these days and the friendship between their 'brother and sister' was a little cold, which made Siya think wildly.
"Thea, don't think too much, it's not the reason for that incident." Dornier said softly: "It's just that I've been too busy recently."
Dornier told the truth, but to Siya's ears, it sounded perfunctory.
"Doniel, do you really think that the person from Shuta Prime is sincerely helping us? Are you more willing to trust that man than those of us who live and die with you?"
"Thea!" Dornier frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about!" How could he forget the brothers who lived and died together? How could they forget everything they had experienced? How could you not trust them
Thea's words touched Dornier's bottom line. He believed that Thea was insulting him.
"Doniel..." Siya was yelled at, and she shrank her shoulders, with a bitter glint in her eyes.
Doniel realized that he had lost his temper, but Thea's words really hurt his heart.
Turning around coldly, Dornier's voice lost its usual high-spiritedness and arrogance, but showed indifference: "We won't meet each other recently. I need to take a good rest, and so do you, Siya."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the spring without even looking at Siya.
Dornier's heart was in turmoil. He wanted Samode's life to be better, and he also wanted to live the life of a Shuta Prime...
When he established the Samode Pirates, Dornier hoped that he could bring a new life to these people, at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and enough food and drink every day.
but…
Dornier's brisk walking stopped as his thoughts drifted further and further away.
If what Xiya said is true, how does he feel about Qi Yan
