Chapter 6, the beautiful youth as mysterious as starlight
He looked at Xiao Wu seriously and smiled: "You are Xiao Wu? You were able to defeat my ten-man team like this. Yu was not wrong; you are indeed very strong."
Xiao Wu scrutinized the expression on my face and said softly, "Do you know what expression you have on your face right now?"
At that moment, three words were all that filled my mind—it's over
Hello, I am Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu winked at Wen Jinliang
Xiao Wu looked at Wen Jinliang's departing figure and chuckled softly, "Your new master treats you quite well."
The corners of his lips still held a faint smile, but the light in his eyes vanished completely in that moment
Because we all know how terrifying the crane's protectiveness can be If he were to find out that Xiao Wu is mistreating the ten individuals he values the most it would be like a collision between Mars and Earth—an explosion!
A dirty cloth doll is placed on a broken wooden bench in the park, while a rusty mechanical toy in the distance emits a faint glow under the dim light, and the faint sound of a cat meowing can be heard from the nearby bushes
This is my sister, Xiao Wu," I stood up to introduce her to the surprised Wen Jinliang
"Guess who I am." A cheerful voice filled with laughter came from behind me
Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. A few minutes later, she raised her smile again and said to me: "I understand now, in front of Wen Jinliang, you and I are merely highly skilled human sisters. He will never know who you truly are or why you have come."
I was amused by Xiao Wu's remarks, and after laughing for a while, I began to discuss serious matters with her
He is very kind to me I replied softly
Xiao Wu was taken aback for a moment, rubbed his forehead, and said: "Even Xiao Qi has started to deceive people. Sigh, is the world about to come to an end?"
Xiao Wu clapped his hands vigorously and said with a joyful expression: "I understand now! It is a smile. In the past, even when Xiao Qi smiled, it was merely a false smile that did not reach the eyes, but now the smile on your face is very warm"
The starlight gently lowered its gaze, and he did not say anything: "Since there is nothing wrong, let us continue walking."
"Xiao Qi, you are trembling," Wen Jinliang said, supporting my shoulder with concern. "Are you afraid of Xiao Wu now?"
I stood up from the vine, walked to Xingguang's side, reached out my hand to grasp his cold hand, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xingguang, what is wrong with you?"
I remained silent for a long time after listening, and Wen Jinliang looked at me with some concern: "Xiao Qi, are you okay?"
I nodded slightly to Wen Jinliang, hesitated for a moment in my heart, and still asked: "So what happened to Xiang Xuan in the end?"
As soon as I stepped into the villa, I was nearly bumped into by a frantic figure. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the young man who had temporarily protected Wen Jinliang for me earlier; I remembered his name was Yu
Upon hearing me say this, Xiao Wu mumbled, "What a pity," and then sat down again
Wen Jinliang casually sat down in the empty seat next to Xiao Wu. He looked at me and suddenly said, "Your sister gives off a feeling very much like a crane."
In Wen Jinliang's explanation, I understood that Shen Xiangxuan never regarded me as a friend. From the moment she approached me, she already harbored the intention to eliminate me
I let out a light laugh and said, "Just kidding, I am not angry. However, it is nice to hear you say sorry."
Wen Jin's lips curled into a smile as she suddenly asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, do I also carry Xiao Qi's scent?"
"It is just ahead," said Starlight softly, as she pulled me deeper into the park.
What is going on? I was brought to a super large hall on the second floor by Yu, and this is where He specifically trains with his subordinates.
I promise you, I blurted out
Wen Jinliang quietly looked at me for a minute, then changed the subject: "Let's not talk about these things anymore. I will take you out for a walk to clear your mind."
No, this potion only temporarily suppresses the pathogens within your body. " Starlight reached out and touched my cheek; the cold sensation of his fingertips was completely different from the warmth of Wen Jinliang, causing me to instinctively turn my head and avoid his gesture
I tilted my head slightly, a smile on my face: "Are you here to see me? That's good, as I was just thinking of seeing you too"
"Boring." Xiao Wu let go of me and walked over to sit in the spot where Wen Jinliang had been. She looked at me seriously for a few seconds and said, "Xiao Qi, it seems like there is something different about your face."
I really want to reply with "It's nothing," but the cruel truth from his mouth makes my chest feel tight, and my mouth is dry and hard to speak.
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, a sense of sorrow enveloped my heart. She was right; Wen Jinliang would never know who I am or why I came to his side. He would only perceive my presence as a mere coincidence that is to be taken for granted
However, it was not until much later that I understood that Wen Jinliang's punishment was not as gentle as I had imagined. The implication of not being allowed to visit meant that Shen Xiangxuan would never be able to see her family again
Indeed, others often mistake the two of us for each other. I rubbed my temples and said with a hint of headache. I couldn't help but recall the time I was mistaken for Xiao Wu and was surrounded by her enemies. Of course, each time I managed to resolve the situation for her
"Heron!" I called his name softly, puzzled as I asked, "Aren't you supposed to return next week?"
As soon as Yu saw me, he exclaimed, "Sister Xiao Qi, you are back. Come with me quickly." Without waiting for a response, Yu grabbed my hand and ran towards the second-floor hall.
"It has ended early," replied the crane
"Xiao Qi, what is wrong with you? Why are you suddenly lost in thought?" Xiao Wu waved his hand in front of me.
Xiao Wu, upon hearing what I said, winked at me and remarked with a hint of regret, "What a pity, I can no longer deceive you. How is it that you have become so clever in just a few months since we last met?"
Who is more important, the master or Wen Jinliang? In the past, I might have answered without hesitation that it is the master, but now I cannot firmly state my previous answer. I understand the significance of Wen Jinliang to me, but I never considered that one day he would be compared to the master.
Wen Jinliang quickly understood what I meant, and his expression was not very pleasant: "Fortunately, he is not here right now." It turned out that both he and I were afraid of Crane's anger
The actions of Xingguang froze, and he silently lowered his hand: "Xiao Qi, who is the person that made you fall ill?"
I looked towards the hall and saw Xiao Wu standing in the middle shouting: "Get up, get up! Aren't you all tough? Hurry up and get up to continue fighting with me, stop playing dead!" At her feet lay ten men who looked somewhat familiar. I gasped, realizing that this group of men were all bodyguards for the Wen family, the ten most capable under He's command, and also He’s most trusted subordinates.
Starlight always appears suddenly and then disappears just as abruptly. Its existence is as mysterious and elusive as its name "Starlight"
I and Xiao Wu carefully examined each other and felt that Wen Jinliang was quite right. The impression I give is that I am somewhat gentler than Xiao Wu, while she, although often smiling, has an air that makes people hesitant to approach her casually
"Black Sail" is a dreadful chronic poison; this poison will not take my life, but it will gradually drain my strength and turn me into a useless person. The Wen family would not want a useless person to protect their important young master
"Let Xiao Wu take your place for the time being." Xing Guang looked at me calmly, "It's only temporary; once you recover from your illness, you can return to his side."
I was practicing with the Ten People Group here quite well when Miss Xiao Wu suddenly appeared and said she wanted to practice with us. The Ten People Group mistook her for you and all prepared to spar with you. Who would have thought that Miss Xiao Wu was merciless and knocked them down in an instant. The Ten People Group could not accept their swift and humiliating defeat, so they all became serious and resumed sparring with Miss Xiao Wu, but the result was still a crushing defeat. In short, after several rounds, they are now unable to get back up. Yu seems unaccustomed to speaking; the Ten People Group could not accept their swift and humiliating defeat, so they all became serious and resumed sparring with Miss Xiao Wu, but the result was still a crushing defeat. In short, after several rounds, they are now unable to get back up. Yu seems unaccustomed to speaking, and after a long pause, he continued, "However, Miss Xiao Wu's fighting spirit has been ignited by the Ten People Group. She is now completely unable to stop, and if this continues, the Ten People Group will be in great danger!"
"It is a crane," I said somewhat awkwardly
Is it true? I immediately grasped the shoulder of the starlight, unable to contain the excitement within me
"Is my change only because I am ill?" I looked at the starlight in confusion, feeling a bit worried, and asked, "Is my illness serious? Is there hope for recovery?"
His palm is a bit cool, not as warm as Wen Jin's coolness
Upon hearing my words, Xingguang smiled gently, and the worry in her eyes vanished in an instant
Starshine! I could not contain my inner astonishment and excitement, and hurriedly called out to him
A cold sweat broke out all at once. When I was at the Wen family, I had practiced sparring with ten people, and although they had never won against me, they had never been defeated so miserably either, as they truly possessed formidable strength. Yet now, they lay on the ground like tattered rags, indicating that they had indeed been thoroughly beaten by Xiao Wu.
"Why do you listen to that woman so much? Is it just because she created us?" Xiao Wu shook off my hand, his gaze sharply sweeping across my cheek
This is hard to say... I can hardly imagine that scene
The words of the starlight made me tremble suddenly. Indeed, if my illness were to flare up, there would be no way to protect Wen Jinliang. I clenched my fist, finally making up my mind; my primary task now is to cure this strange illness. Once this illness is cured, I will no longer have to worry about how to face Wen Jinliang, and we can return to our original state, no longer feeling at a loss for his every action. As a bodyguard, I must remain calm at all times. Once this illness is cured, I will no longer have to worry about how to face Wen Jinliang, and we can return to our original state, no longer feeling at a loss for his every action. As a bodyguard, I must remain calm at all times
"Oh? Xiaoqi, why is your face so red?" Xiaowu noticed my embarrassed, flushed face.
Alright, I won't laugh anymore. I'm sorry, please don't be angry. Xiao Wu, seeing that the situation was getting better, promptly apologized.
The starlight did not answer my question, but silently led me away. He rarely remained silent like this; I had no choice but to let him pull me toward the unknown.
Indeed, you will never deceive me again. Moreover, I am aware that all the life knowledge you previously shared with me was a lie. Because of you, I have been the subject of quite a few jokes. I said this to Xiao Wu in a calm manner. If it weren't for meeting Wen Jinliang and the others, I don't know how much longer I would have been misled by this erroneous knowledge!
I looked up at the glass ceiling, where I saw the shattered moonlight cut into countless fragments and the beautiful scene of the starry sky reflected on the glass
The starlight paused its gentle caress of the flowers, straightened up, and looked at me, asking.
Wen Jinliang, if one day you find out that I am truly not human, will you still laugh aimlessly like you do now
I do not know to what extent a person's heart can be cruel, but Shen Xiangxuan's actions towards me have already exceeded my understanding of cruelty. She is determined to drag me into hell. Although it seems somewhat ridiculous, I still do not understand her motives for doing all this. Is it because I have obstructed her affection for Wen Jinliang, or is it because my identity as a bodyguard allows me to stay by Wen Jinliang's side, which she cannot tolerate? Is a woman's jealousy truly this terrifying? Is it because I have obstructed her affection for Wen Jinliang, or is it because my identity as a bodyguard allows me to stay by Wen Jinliang's side, which she cannot tolerate? Is a woman's jealousy truly this terrifying?
Xiao Wu let out a long "oh" and changed the subject: "You mentioned earlier that someone wanted to thank me, who is it?"
Wen Jinliang looked carefully at me and Xiao Wu again, and said seriously: "Although you two look very similar, upon closer inspection, it is still easy to distinguish the differences between you. Xiao Qi's eyebrows and eyes are relatively gentle, and her gaze is more tender. In contrast, Xiao Wu's eyebrows and eyes appear sharper; although her gaze seems lazy, it is actually like a blade, sharp and terrifying."
"Starlight, how did you end up here?" After the initial surprise, I began to inquire about Starlight.
"If he cherishes you, he would not allow you to be ill." The starlight seemed to smile, yet his gaze was so sorrowful, "If you also cherish him, you should not let yourself remain unwell. If your illness prevents you from giving your all, then isn't he still trapped in danger?"
"Xiao Qi, why are you in a daze? Is something wrong?" Xing Guang walked over to me and held my hand, the coldness of his palm instantly brought me back to my senses
This is hard to say. Because this disease can take your life if you are not careful at all. " The starlight smiled.
"Are you feeling uneasy?" Xiao Wu perceptively noticed my anxious emotions. She closed her eyes and softly said, "Xiao Qi, regardless of that woman's intentions for you to stay with Wen Jinliang, you must leave him now. You cannot..."
"Xiao Wu!" I suddenly grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist, interrupting her words, "I will not leave Wen Jinliang. My master has ordered me to protect him well, and I cannot leave his side..."
"Xiao Qi, why are you sitting in my seat?" Wen Jinliang asked as he walked towards me and Xiao Wu from the door. It was only when he got closer that he realized the person sitting in his seat was not me, and he turned his surprised gaze towards me
Bitter medicine is good for the health, " said Starlight softly
Upon witnessing such a beautiful scene, I felt a genuine joy from the depths of my heart. I looked at the smiling starlight beside me and said, "Is this what you wanted me to see? It is truly magnificent! Thank you, starlight"
"This is also good; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to face her with all the truths I have come to know." I let out a bitter laugh
I will. " After saying this, Wen Jinliang left
After I finished speaking, Xiao Wu calmed down a bit. She looked at me quietly for a second and suddenly asked, "Is your unwillingness to leave Wen Jinliang due to the master or because of him?"
I said, leave that person. As long as you leave him, your illness will soon be cured, " the starlight gently said to me
Leave him. The voice of the starlight is as cold as snow
I felt my face flush with embarrassment as I explained to Xingguang that I had just combined the scene here with a horror movie in my mind, which is why I was startled by the big dog
Upon hearing my words, the light in Xingguang's eyes gathered once more
Wen Jinliang's smile became even more radiant upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, while his blue eyes remained fixed on me without blinking. My face instantly flushed bright red, and my heart began to race wildly again
What do you not want me to know
He stood under the tree blooming with apricot flowers, as a gentle breeze brushed by, tousling his long hair. He simply gazed quietly at the tree full of apricot blossoms, a faint and tender smile gracing his picturesque face
After walking for approximately two hours, the sky had completely darkened. I followed him to a deserted place, which appeared to be a park that had been abandoned for a long time.
Starlight smiled faintly without answering, and he took my hand and said: "I will take you to see something."
Have I really become someone who loves to smile? Why have I not noticed it myself? Is it because many things have become too taken for granted?
"It is an expression that absolutely should not appear on the faces of people like you and me." Xiao Wu's finger poked at my cheek, her voice devoid of any emotion
He looked at Wen Jinliang, his voice betraying no sadness, joy, or anger: "Jinliang, step aside."
Xiao Wu stretched lazily and asked Wen Jinliang, "Who is the crane?" Xiao Wu disliked being compared to anyone the most, and a warning bell immediately rang in my mind.
"Starlight, you broke it!" I was startled by Starlight's action. The Starlight I know would never break a flower branch; he cherishes flowers the most. What happened to him just now?
"Alright." I nodded and brushed the dirt off my clothes, "Then I will head back first."
What? I was taken aback
"He is my direct superior. Just like you, he is very considerate of others, and I hold him in great esteem." I interjected before Wen Jinliang could respond, signaling him with my eyes to remain silent for the moment. He understood and nodded slightly, falling quiet.
Wen Jinliang's gaze circled around me and Xiao Wu several times before he gently remarked, "You sisters really look alike, just like twins"
The starlight perceived my hesitation, and it did not rush me to agree
After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, I thought about my recent strange reactions and felt that the starlight before me could provide me with answers. So, I slowly walked to a corner of the greenhouse and sat down on the vines, looking up at the starlight caressing the unknown flowers, and said: "Starlight, I feel as if I have changed, but I do not understand what my changes truly mean. Can you provide me with an answer?"
"Sister Qiqi, please go and stop Miss Wuwu." Just as I was about to ask for the reason, Yu tugged at my sleeve, her previously expressionless face now filled with panic
I understand Xiao Wu; once she gets serious and engages in a fight with someone, she will absolutely not hold back. Although she does not have any malicious intent to harm others, her instinct for battle makes it impossible for her to stop.
Wen Jinliang finally came to his senses, displaying a polite smile as he greeted Xiao Wu: "Hello, I am Wen Jinliang"
I did not speak, but simply held my hands tightly together, as if this could dispel some of the unease within me
Wen Jinliang glanced at me and helplessly stepped aside. He walked to my side and quietly asked, "If those two were to fight, who would have a greater chance of winning?"
As soon as Wen Jinliang left the library, my eyes were covered by someone, and the cold, familiar touch did not instill fear in me
Upon learning of Shen Xiangxuan's scheme, Wen Jinliang decided to play along and let her be completely exposed. Therefore, he needed me to pretend to be "hit" so that Shen Xiangxuan's plan could proceed smoothly—what he referred to as the effect of the medicine was precisely this. I had always been puzzled as to why a killer was able to breach He's defenses; it turned out that He had intentionally let it happen, in order to allow Shen Xiangxuan to successfully carry out her plan.
Xiao Wu turned her gaze back to me, quietly observing me, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry and a touch of significance
Of course, "Black Sails" is merely a part of her plan. Her true intention is to make the Wen family abandon me forever, which is why she prepared that farce at the banquet well in advance. The assassins in black and the raucous members of the Wen family were all orchestrated by her. There was no so-called bribery; from the very beginning, they were all her people
The day Xiao Wu arrived happened to be a weekend. I was in the library reading with Wen Jinliang. Halfway through, Wen Jinliang told me that he needed to go to the restroom and urged me not to follow him under any circumstances
Starlight softly said: "Because I want to see you"
What is the situation? Yu, can you explain it to me? I swallowed hard
The starlight gazed at me gently and said with a faint smile, "Xiao Qi, you seem to have become a bit more cheerful."
"Good." I smiled gently at Wen Jinliang.
What expression? I asked Xiao Wu, feeling a tightening in my heart
"Why are you always watching me? Is there something wrong with me?" I couldn't help but ask, feeling uncomfortable under Xiao Wu's gaze.
I was momentarily stunned, and once again reached out to touch my own face
I felt a heavy weight in my heart because of Wen Jinliang's words, and then I slowly closed my eyes
"Impressive. No one has ever been able to evade Mr. Crane's strike." Yu's eyes widened
Are you being sent out of the country? It's not too bad; this isn't a very harsh punishment. I let out a sigh of relief in my heart
The abandoned park before me resembles a scene from a horror movie that I previously watched with Wen Jinliang, as if a fierce wild dog could leap out at any moment, just like in the film
The starlight beside me stood calmly, glancing back at me: "Weren't you not afraid of dogs before? How did you get scared like this?"
I leaned back in the chair, gazing up at the ceiling, feeling a chaotic jumble in my mind. After a moment of aimless thoughts, I decided to go out for a walk
"It seems to be the case, Xiao Wu just said the same thing a moment ago." I chuckled lightly, "Is it not good for me to smile a little more? Didn't you and Xiao Wu always hope that I would smile more in the past?"
I understand. Starlight, I will listen to you and temporarily leave his side.
In the face of Wen Jinliang's occasional head pats and gazes, I can no longer maintain a calm and tranquil mindset; each time, it feels as if my heart is about to leap out of my chest.
Speaking of which, I was quite frightened while watching the movie at that time. Although upon reflection, the scenes in the film are all fictional and not worth fearing, I still embarrassingly hid in Wen Jinliang's embrace at that moment
No! I am a bit agitated. I am currently serving as his bodyguard, and as a bodyguard, how can I leave my master without permission? I cannot put him in danger without regard.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Wen Jinliang standing at the door. I called out to him, "Wen Jinliang, I have come to take you back."
Although the time spent with Starlight is not extensive, he brings me joy and emotion each time, and he understands me very well. Whenever I encounter perplexing troubles, I can always find the best answers from him
I calmed down and replied: "Xiao Wu, I know you do not like the master. However, it is an undeniable fact that she created us and gave us life, is it not? As a way to repay her, it is only right for me to listen to her and do some things for her. I understand that you are worried about me, but I am fine, and I am very grateful to her for bringing me to Wen Jinliang's side"
I immediately signaled to Wen Jinliang with my eyes, and he quickly understood my meaning. He stood in front of He, his expression serious, and said: "He, I have something important to discuss with you. Please come out with me for a moment"
I have great trust in the starlight; since it has said so, there must be a reason behind it
Do you not want to leave him
The starlight turned back to see me, gently calling out as always: "Little Seven."
You hurry and catch Xiao Wu, while Yu and I take ten people to tend to our injuries. In any case, we must not let He know about this matter. Wen Jinliang quickly came up with an idea
I am just... afraid that he might not agree. I let out a slow sigh. I have become accustomed to being by Wen Jinliang's side, and he has also grown used to my presence. Would my sudden departure make him uncomfortable
After walking for a short while, Xingguang and I stopped in front of an abandoned plant greenhouse. He led me through the broken glass door. As I looked around, I was greeted by an array of nameless flowers and grasses, which occupied every corner of the greenhouse, slowly blooming in the moonlight that spilled from the roof
Starlight was the only brilliant color in my life in the past, and it was also my one-of-a-kind and most important friend. I still remember our first encounter under the dazzling stars; he was such a beautiful young man, like a ray of light that unexpectedly burst into my life.
The starlight saw the smile on my face, and in an instant, my eyes brightened, resembling a sky full of stars
I looked up at the somewhat excited Xiao Wu and shook my head, saying: "I am unable to take you to see him right now. He has gone far away and will not be back until next week"
What is it? I was led by the starlight as I walked out of the campus
Xiao Wu chuckled: "You only just realized it now? Xiao Qi, you really are quite slow on the uptake."
Xiao Wu propped his chin up and looked at me, replying: "I was over there taking care of some matters when I happened to encounter him being surrounded and attacked. I caught a whiff of your scent on him, so I casually lent him a hand. He even mistook me for you."
Do you know me?" Xiao Wu displayed a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "You are the crane that Xiao Qi mentioned, right?
Wow—" I let out a startled cry, immediately releasing Xingguang's hand and stepping back several paces
Is this a new task for the master? The master promised Xiao Wu that as long as she completed one hundred tasks, he would grant her freedom. This is probably one of the last few times. In order to gain her freedom, Xiao Wu is willing to do anything, and there were two occasions where she almost lost her life.
After Shen Xiangxuan's disappearance, my life with Wen Jinliang returned to its original state. I attended classes with Wen Jinliang every day and occasionally went out for strolls with him. However, after a few days of such tranquil days, I began to sense that something was amiss with me
She took me to eat, drink, and have fun solely to allow me to lower my guard against her and to trust her completely. Only in this way could she have me eat the pastries mixed with "Black Sails" without any defenses.
Xiao Wu immediately became interested; she stood up and looked at me, saying: "Is that so? Then take me to see him now."
Alright, be careful yourself. I will come find you after I finish talking with Xiao Wu. I felt warm at the thoughtfulness of Wen Jinliang and couldn't help but smile at him.
"We will not part ways," Wen Jinliang said firmly. After a pause, he continued, "Since the matter has already come to an end, you should not dwell on it any longer. Do not add to your own distress."
Wen Jinliang did not say anything further, but instead tidied up the books, stood up, and said to me: "Xiao Qi, you haven't seen your sister for such a long time, you must have a lot to talk about. I won't disturb you two; I will go to He's side. He still has quite a few bodyguards left behind, so you need not worry about me."
Of course, it is because ... ... '' I suddenly widened my eyes, and the words that followed could not be spoken no matter what.
I took the bottle from Xingguang's hand, opened it, and without hesitation drank all the potion, frowning slightly: "So bitter ... ... "
In Wen Jinliang's eyes, there was a fleeting indifference, and he calmly stated: "As a punishment for her, I had the Shen family send her abroad and forbade her family from visiting her"
"Do not laugh, I am very angry." I glared at Xiao Wu, showing an expression of anger.
A deep voice of a crane came from the doorway, and he strode towards us.
He looked at the ten people lying on the ground, his expression darkening. He turned his gaze towards the smiling Xiao Wu and slowly walked over: "Did you do this to them?"
He turned his head to look at me, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Xiao Qi, you have simply contracted a kind of illness. This illness will cause you to have different emotional reactions towards a certain person, just like the heart racing and the flushed face you mentioned earlier. In fact, all of this is due to the pathogen within you; you yourself have not changed at all"
I know she does not want to elaborate, therefore I do not wish to probe further
Xiao Wu smiled knowingly and stood up from her seat: "Your dullness is not entirely a disadvantage. While there is still time, think carefully about who is more important to you, the master or him. I have a few things to attend to, so I will see you later." After saying this, she left the library
Alright. I nodded and decided to follow Wen Jinliang's suggestion first
Xiao Wu longs for freedom so much, yet we are the ones who cannot have freedom the most
Is it temporary... My emotions have calmed down a bit; if it is only temporary, it seems not unacceptable. However, my heart is still hesitant.
"Really, when have I ever deceived you?" The smile at the corner of his lips froze there, and he stared at me without blinking. "But you must promise me now that you will seriously follow my method for treatment."
Xiao Wu glanced at He and shrugged, saying: "Yes. What, do you also want to spar with me?"
No ... ...
I tidied up my books and walked out of the library, aimlessly wandering around the campus. As I passed by the back garden of the campus, I inadvertently caught sight of the starlight.
Starlight stood up and looked at me: "Since that's the case, you should go back first. Once you have resolved everything, you can come here to find me; I will always be here."
Your words sound like lies, I said
Wen Jinliang turned his head to look at me, revealing a smile: "I’m afraid we can’t go back for the time being"
He took out a bottle of dark red potion from his pocket and handed it to me "You should drink it."
"Xiao Qi, you are back! Just in time to practice with me! They are utterly useless, not worth the effort at all; you are much better!" Xiao Wu finally noticed me blocking the doorway and shouted at me.
The next morning, Wen Jinliang indeed kept his promise and revealed all the truths to me
"Xiao Qi, do not be afraid. I have a method that can help you heal easily." The starlight looked at me calmly, his eyes filled with a gentle warmth
The starlight heard my words, lowered its head to look at the flower in its hand that it had plucked, kissed the pure white petals, and softly said: "I am sorry." After speaking, it buried the flower in the soil.
Wen Jinliang quickly discerned everything and replaced those problematic pastries for me, allowing me to avoid the tragedy of becoming useless. As for why I did not consume "Black Sail" yet still lost strength at the banquet, it was because the drink that Crane gave me was mixed with soft muscle powder
It seems that Xiao Qi is not human, but I remember that Xiao Qi has also evaded this move from the crane before. Wen Jinliang chuckled unconsciously, refuting Yu.
I am very aware that Yu is a boy who is so calm that he lacks any emotions. The fact that he has lost his composure must indicate that Xiao Wu has done something truly terrible
After bidding farewell to the starlight, I immediately set off on my way back to the apartment. Halfway there, I suddenly thought of Wen Jinliang at He’s place, and I changed direction to head to the small villa where He resides.
"He is the new master I am currently protecting." A sense of unease suddenly flashed through my mind
"Is there? Where?" I was taken aback by what Xiao Wu said, reaching out to touch my own face, wondering internally what was different about me.
Xiao Wu turned to look at Wen Jinliang, sniffed seriously, and said: "Yes, and compared to that child, the scent belonging to Xiao Qi on you is even more intense"
This situation continued until Xiao Wu appeared. Due to the previous request from He, I utilized a special means of communication to bring Xiao Wu over.
I set the bottle aside and gazed at the starlight: "Will this cure my illness?"
Ah, it's nothing. I immediately shook my head, casting those pessimistic thoughts out of my mind
No, I just got distracted for a moment thinking about some things. I hurriedly responded to Xingguang, showing an embarrassed expression
The color drained from my face in an instant. Is this illness really that severe? Will I die? No, I cannot die; I still have the important responsibility of protecting Wen Jinliang!
I recalled something and asked Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, how did you suddenly go to save him?" He said it was a coincidence, which is simply unbelievable
When I am embraced by someone, when he looks at me, when he caresses me... I completely lose my composure. That person's actions make my heart race, cause my cheeks to burn as if on fire, make my hands and feet go weak, and make me shyly want to escape without realizing it... I slowly recall the moments spent with Wen Jinliang, and my face unknowingly turns red... I slowly recall the moments spent with Wen Jinliang, and my face unknowingly turns red.
Many times, Wen Jinliang would just look at me with a smile without saying a word, and my cheeks would inexplicably flush, leaving me so nervous that I couldn't utter a single word
"Do we still need to go? We have been walking for a long time." I looked at the starlight with confusion. Although I was not tired, I was afraid that if I returned too late, Wen Jinliang and Xiao Wu would worry.
Xiao Wu crossed his hands on the table, wearing a relaxed expression: "No, I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I couldn't help but want to look at you a little longer. Xiao Qi has nothing wrong at all."
He Huxi glanced suspiciously at Wen Jinliang, tilting his head to look behind him: "What are you blocking?"
With a crisp sound, the starlight shattered the pure white flower before him, yet he gazed at me as if he were completely oblivious
"No, it's nothing..." I hurriedly covered my cheeks and lowered my head, momentarily unsure how to face Wen Jinliang and Xiao Wu
"Xiao Wu, to be honest, I came to Wen Jinliang's side because of the master's orders, and I haven't told him that I am here to protect him for the master's sake. He hates being deceived more than anything else. If he knew that I approached him with ulterior motives, he would definitely drive me away. So please do not tell him about the master, and do not reveal our true identities." I looked at Xiao Wu with a serious expression, hoping she could understand the gravity of the situation.

No, I am afraid of the angry crane I wish to cry without tears
Suddenly, a large wild dog rushed out from the bushes, barking fiercely at us twice
Little Five. I couldn't help but smile, Little Five is still the same as ever
It is nothing. The starlight pulled me down beside the vines, and sat down with me
The crane did not respond, but swiftly launched an attack on Xiao Wu. In an instant, Xiao Wu reacted, skillfully dodging his attack
I let out a heavy sigh: "Wen Jinliang, I should thank you. If it weren't for your early awareness of all this, I might have truly had to part ways with you forever."
