Kitahara and Feng were not angry with William in the end.

After all, although the other party's tone sounds forced and strong, if you really want to explore it, it is actually more like some kind of sad request. It's just that a certain person is never willing to lose face, and he doesn't know how to communicate with others.

That's all.

What's more, after gradually making guesses about the situation in this town, Beihara and Feng can probably understand William's psychology:

Just like a drowning person knows that he may drown with his rescuer, but he can't let go of the hand holding the other person's arm no matter what. The transcendent who has been alone for countless centuries also subconsciously holds on tightly.

Holding the hand of this only passer-by.

It has nothing to do with morality or character, it is just the human instinct to desire to survive. Even if you want to blame, there is nothing good to say.

William didn't know what Beihara and Feng were thinking. He just held his friend who looked a little nervous and laughed for a long time. He put the person in his arms and held him contentedly, looking happy and victorious.

And then...

Kitahara and Feng turned their heads and thought about it seriously, but found that their memory was a bit blurry, so blurry that he couldn't even remember it.

What happened then?

The traveler thought very stubbornly, as if something important to him had happened during this period, so he must, must think of it.

——Be good.

What's this?

——Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t resist, it’s nothing.

It feels so familiar...

Kitahara and Kaede opened their eyes in confusion. Their orange-gold eyes stared blankly ahead, catching a ray of light at the edge of their dim vision.

The pale light only shone on one corner miserably. Even if it was narrow enough, the outline of the interior area of ​​the house still had a vague feeling of chaos and uncertainty under the too weak and narrow light, as if it were some kind of amorphous thing lurking in the darkness.

.

Is it here?

The traveler stared at the wall that seemed to be half submerged in the dark mist for several seconds before overlapping the corresponding scene with a certain corner in his memory. Then he subconsciously turned around and looked at the place with the brightest light.

.

The light that suddenly fell into the eyes was so strong that Kitahara and Kaede couldn't help but squint their eyes. They felt that there was a vast expanse of white in front of them, like snow reflecting the rays of a hundred suns.

And there were two people in the shining snow.

Kitahara and Kaede tried their best to open their eyes again, and looked over to carefully examine the figures: the too pure light could only outline a rough outline, but it blurred many details.

But for him, this is enough.

He saw a woman with waterfall-like black hair bending down to look at her child, stroking the child's cheek with her fingers, her voice was very gentle, unusually gentle:

"It's just a minor surgery, don't be afraid."

The child raised his head and looked at her without speaking.

He was a very well-behaved child, as well-behaved as a rabbit, and had the same docile nature as a rabbit.

Rabbits don't scream when they have broken bones, they don't scream when unground teeth pierce their mouths, they don't scream when they are shivering in the cold, and they don't scream when their flesh and blood are mutilated.

Even if it falls, its internal organs are broken into pieces, and blood flows out of its mouth, the rabbit will not cry out, but will be quiet and open its eyes quietly, as if it has seen the destiny.

All the suffering and heaviness, and swallow them all.

The same goes for him. The child is quiet, with a pair of quiet black eyes, and soft and tame gaze, so soft that it makes people feel melancholy.

Maybe it was because he wore a white dress in the dark, or maybe it was because he rarely spoke when there was no need to talk - in short, he was like a rabbit, or simply a specimen of a rabbit.

Beihara and Feng just looked at the child quietly. Even though he couldn't see clearly, at this moment, he even thought of the other person's expression.

There shouldn't be a smile, because the child understands that this is not a good thing. But that

Her black eyes were probably bright, and she was looking at her mother shiningly.

He wanted her to be happy. He wanted this person who couldn't tell whether he loved him or not, and his relatives to be happy.

As if somewhat involuntarily, Beiyuan and Feng took a step forward, looking blankly at the people and things that were closer and clearer to him.

The child was on the operating table, and something was holding his body in place to prevent him from moving around. The woman was carefully wiping the tip of the scalpel with a sterilized cloth.

Next to her were various clumsy objects that looked like primary school students' graffiti, and those objects looked at the child and seemed to be smiling.

"A Feng." The woman finished wiping the knife, looked at her child, lowered her eyes, and said softly in a breathy voice, "Be good, only good children are good children."

The child listened silently, and the traveler, who was not seen by anyone, listened silently, and then sighed.

——That’s it.

He opened his eyes again, and all the dark scenery he had seen before disappeared, replaced by the windows of the house that shed light. It was still generously sharing Elvahi with the travelers who rarely got up late.

The bright and bright sunshine in this small town.

There seems to be a bird singing on a branch not far away. It sings beautifully, as melodiously as the sound that only bagpipes can produce.

Kitahara and Kaede looked at the ceiling in confusion, and then used some strength to push themselves up and press their fingers slightly between their eyebrows to pull themselves back from the confusion of the dream. There was helplessness in their orange-gold eyes.

:

"Why did you dream of this..."

Before he went to bed, he did think of some things from the past because of William's words, so he wanted to have a dream to relieve his pain, but he really didn't expect to dream about this.

Because that was already a very distant memory for him, so far away that he had forgotten too many details from that time.

That's why this dream seems so vague and abstract. There are even no clear dividing lines in some places. Many things look like poor doodles of children's simple drawings.

Perhaps the words William said were much more powerful than he imagined. After all, he couldn't help but think of his mother when he heard those words.

The traveler got off the bed and put on a few clothes at will. Then he wrapped himself in a thick champagne-colored cloak trimmed with snow-white rabbit fur, and then wrapped himself in a beige scarf. He glanced around the room.

mirror.

The person in the mirror has a bit of messy hair, and looks uniquely Asian and delicate. His slightly long hair is tied into a small braid and hangs down. His orange-gold eyes look steady and soft.

A completely different face from his previous life.

But Kitahara and Kaede were still watching in some trance, and their ears seemed to echo the words that their mother whispered beside him when the dream ended:

"Be a good boy, Afeng."

That was what his mother often said to him when he was still called "Xia Wangfeng" in his previous life.

Xia Wangfeng must be well-behaved and obedient enough to be a good child. Xia Wangfeng must also be gentle and lovable enough, and then learn to take advantage of the kindness of others.

Beihara and Feng stared at themselves in the mirror quietly, then slightly twitched the corners of their mouths, revealing a smile. A smile that he had not used for a long time.

It's very standard, whether it's the curvature of the corners of the mouth or the slightly curved eyes, it's so standard that it looks like a product coming off an industrial assembly line, and it's so standard that it seems like this completely different body has the same muscle memory.

Kitahara and Kaede still remember what his mother said.

This kind of smile is just a template. If you take it out directly, it may make people feel scared: so what he has to do is to change this expression so that it becomes less standard and can clearly express a certain emotion.

So the traveler changed his expression slightly, and the smile on his face brightened in an instant, so bright that it was as if no haze in the world had ever visited this person's heart.

"It's really bad."

The traveler lowered his eyes

He opened his eyes and whispered something.

It turned out that he had not forgotten these things, and even remembered them so firmly.

But in the end, Beihara and Feng exhaled, shook their heads, calmed down the expressions on their faces, and suppressed the surging thoughts in their minds one by one, but their eyes dimmed for a moment.

——So, does he make friends because of his true love for these sparkling souls, or because of what he has been taught since childhood?

How to get close to someone, how to discover the missing part in a person's life, how to win the other person's favor, how to take advantage of the other person: he was all too familiar with these, so familiar that he even felt a little sick.

But he still wants to try to have a "real" friend, a friend who he makes as an "ordinary person" rather than as "a tool whose ultimate goal is to take advantage of other people's kindness."

"Kitahara! Kitahara Kitahara Kitahara——"

Just when the traveler was feeling a little sad, a cheerful voice sounded, and the door to his room opened with a click, revealing Shakespeare's face that was so beautiful that it could be called gorgeous.

"Are you awake? Let's see what I have prepared for you?"

The evil-minded Transcendent narrowed his eyes happily, and then escaped from behind a thick book, with a bright smile on his face: "This is the super collector's edition that I found with great difficulty,

Kitahara.”

Beihara and Feng were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized something. Their ears suddenly turned red and hot, like a cat whose fur had exploded in fear after being bullied by humans, and they subconsciously closed their eyes.

But it's of no use, or it just fits someone's meaning.

"I knew it."

William hummed triumphantly, reached out and took the person into his arms, opened the book in his hand and covered the traveler's face, winking slyly: "If you have the ability, you will never open your eyes for the rest of your life.

,Kitahara.”

Kitahara and Kaede still stubbornly closed their eyes and remained motionless.

"Well, is Kitahara really that annoying?"
