Volume 1, Chapter 18, Peach Blossom with a Human Face
Monday, July 20th.
When Liu Xiao arrived at Group 7 in the morning, he met Yue Fei at the door.
Today she wore a slim-fitting white dress, which outlined her voluptuous waist. With her palm-sized face and snow-white skin, she was thin and cold.
"Sister Yuefei, good morning."
"morning……"
"Sister Yuefei, you look so beautiful today!"
Su Gu's voice came from behind. It was obvious that she had just arrived. Liu Xiao turned around and saw that she had a smile as bright as a flower and ran over to hug Yue Fei's arm.
"Really? But some people can't see it and only say good morning."
Yue Fei secretly nodded at someone.
Liu Xiao was a little embarrassed.
His character is reserved and introverted. He subconsciously keeps many words deep in his heart and will not say them out loud. His emotions are also suppressed so that others don't know.
Just now, he thought Yue Fei was very beautiful at first sight. As a man, he still has this kind of aesthetics. However, he was worried that it would be too frivolous to call others beautiful in the first sentence, so he did not speak and just said hello briefly.
.
"Who? Who?"
Su Gu didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He kept asking who it was, and finally realized:
"Liu Xiao, it's you! Don't you think Sister Yuefei looks good today?"
Liu Xiao shook her head: "I have always thought Sister Yuefei is very good-looking. Not just today, but Sister Su Gu is also very good-looking."
"That's pretty much it."
Su Gu responded with a smile, his eyes curled into crescent moons.
Yue Fei said: "Glib tongue."
Liu Xiao sighed in his heart, why should he not leave anything behind?
He is on duty today, but he still needs to take a test. Since his learning progress is relatively fast, he has completely mastered the arrangement of the test in one week. If he passes, he can get his driver's license.
However, although there were not many things going on at the front desk, someone had to be there, so Liu Xiao considered who to switch to.
Yuefei walked to the front desk, sat down, and turned on the TV.
"Sister Yuefei, it's me today."
"Aren't you going to take an exam? I'll take your place. When will you be there?"
"No rush, it's nine o'clock, there's still one hour left."
"Then sit down for a while."
Liu Xiao also walked behind the front desk and saw Yue Fei's slender legs close together, and her skirt naturally drooped, revealing a section of pure white.
It would be a bit rude to stare, so Liu Xiao looked away and sat down next to him.
"Do you treat everyone so politely?"
Yue Fei asked.
"Isn't it strange that there are so many people?"
"Do you treat girls like this in school? It's too old-fashioned and won't please girls."
Liu Xiao recalled that during her student days, apart from being good at painting, there seemed to be nothing worth doing. After all, she was single and didn't know much about girls' minds.
"Deliberately seeking favor is not very real. No one can always be obedient unless he is full of lies."
Yuefei joked: "You are twenty-two years old, right?"
"Maybe I feel older?" Liu Xiao said with a smile.
"So you don't want to call me sister Su Gu, but you can call me sister because in your heart you should be the same age as me, right?"
Liu Xiao narrowed her eyes, but before she could speak, Yue Fei continued:
"You squint your eyes when you're nervous. Did I say something right?"
The corners of Liu Xiao's mouth raised: "Sister Yuefei is really a great doctor."
His smiling expression fell into Yue Fei's eyes, giving her a strong sense of strangeness, but she continued to speak:
"Last week at the crime scene, you called my name out of desperation. Does that mean you are no younger than me? You have never regarded yourself as a 22-year-old young man?"
do not talk!
Liu Xiao yelled stop in his heart. He knew that if he didn't give a response, Yue Fei would definitely regard these thoughts as true and continue to speculate.
The scary thing is that these are indeed true and are close to the truth.
So he showed an innocent smile and said: "Sister Yuefei, you are talking as if I am really a very old person. No matter how mature and prudent I am, I am only 22 years old."
"I just made a random guess, don't be nervous."
"I'm not nervous."
"Do you know what the main job content is at the front desk?" Yue Fei asked, changing the topic.
"What?"
"Watching TV." Yue Fei pointed to the TV, "I am so bored that I can only watch TV. Last week, there was a voice in my mind reminding myself that no matter how comfortable my life is now, how dangerous the future tasks will be.
This is the compensation the temple gives to us people, compensation in advance.”
Liu Xiao remained silent. He knew about this danger when he first entered the seventh group. Su Gu also specifically reminded him when he asked if he was willing to join.
Yue Fei's cold voice continued to sound in my ears:
"Do you know how many official extraordinary people are single? More than 70%. Many of them are not found, but unwilling. No one wants to put the people they care about in danger, and if something happens to them, they will be in danger.
It would be cruel to leave the other person alone.
"So many extraordinary people are relatively withdrawn, and some are not easy to get along with. You won't become like that, right?"
"How could it be? The environment in our group is not depressing at all. Although the group leader doesn't talk much, he cares about us very much. Senior Ye Qu is humble and warm. Hui Heng and Su Gu are very loving. Su Gu will not be in the seventh group.
Lonely and boring.”
Liu Xiao specifically did not mention Han Qingyi, not only because he was really withdrawn, but also because he was a hunter, an identity that Liu Xiao had always been wary of.
Yuefei nodded: "No one wants to be alone all the time."
"of course not."
"Actually, we can choose one of the extraordinary ones, and we don't have to die alone, don't you think?"
This is human nature, extraordinary people are also ordinary people, and besides, there is no official ban on extraordinary people getting married, so this is naturally allowed.
Although Yue Fei suddenly said these things so early in the morning, which made Liu Xiao a little fanciful, he was not narcissistic enough to think that the other party was interested in him.
After all, I have only been in the group for more than a week, and I can't say how well we know each other. Yuefei should have a more suitable choice.
Yue Fei said: "Life and death are fateful. I have thought about it for several days. Since I don't know what will happen in the future, why not express my feelings now? I have also thought about being so proactive towards someone who is five or six years younger than me.
, is it not too stable?"
As she spoke, Yue Fei laughed, as if she was laughing at herself: "Among extraordinary people, it is rare to be timid like me."
Ah, is she really this?
There seemed to be a lot of peach blossoms, and Liu Xiao felt the advantage of looks for the first time, something she had never felt before.
Even if we don't consider whether Yue Fei is a member of the Appearance Association, it is appropriate to put the reason for rejecting Qin Jin here.
Liu Xiao felt a little difficult to handle.
"I understand." Yuefei said calmly.
Got it? I haven’t said anything yet…
"If you don't answer, it's already an answer." Yue Fei said, "You said that since I am destined to be alone, can I learn from the first group of senior Xiaomu, be more relaxed, and find someone who likes me?"
Even if I refuse, you are not destined to be alone, right? And is this "let go a little bit" what I mean?
"Open...an open relationship between men and women?"
"Do you know a lot?" Yuefei glanced at it, then looked lonely, "I said this, but you didn't even care. It shows that I overestimate myself."
"No, Sister Yuefei, you are fine."
Surprisingly, there was a day when I was issued a good person card.
"You can't say for sure when it comes to relationships. It's only my fault that I don't have this idea and I don't have the luck."
Yuefei held her chin in her hand, looked at him sideways, and suddenly smiled, which made Liu Xiao's heart beat faster.
Still a little regretful.
But I can't do that kind of thing myself.
Relationships have to be natural, and you can't just agree because you think the other person is beautiful.
Is that love? That’s not it, that’s just greed.
Liu Xiao didn't think that anyone would make him nostalgic for this world, or even give up returning to the original world. In the future, he would cut through the mess quickly and try not to delay others.
"Su Gu said that you were very defensive and that you were a cold-blooded person. I didn't intend to believe it at first... Forget it, the time is coming, you go and do your work. Just think of what I said just now and I'm not awake."
"Okay Sister Yuefei, I'm leaving then."
"..."
Yuefei waved her hand: "Go ahead."
After walking out of the gate, Liu Xiao slowed down, finally stopped, turned his head and glanced at the city in front of him.
Liangbo? Are you subconsciously cutting ties with the world? In order to have no worries when you finally leave?
Su Gu is a person with extraordinary spiritual abilities, and his grasp of people's hearts is really keen.
At the front desk, watching the handsome figure disappear, Yuefei lay back on the chair with a lonely look.
Who is not a little girl anymore?
Although Liu Xiao looks young, she can no longer treat him as a junior in her eyes.
Maybe it started since he saved himself last time?
Maybe I'm just grateful to him for saving me, otherwise why wouldn't I be so sad now?
Maybe it was just the last life-and-death crisis that made me think about it, and he just happened to appear. It could have been someone else.
Since he doesn't agree, can he really find someone else to try?
Who should I look for? There seems to be no suitable person in our group besides him.
Yuefei was a little lost in thought for a moment.
"Good morning, Sister Yuefei."
Huiheng passed by and said hello, but received no response.
After a long time, Huiheng came down from upstairs to take a look again, and went back without saying anything this time.
Near noon, Huiheng came downstairs again, saw that Yue Fei's movements and expressions had not changed, and then secretly returned upstairs.
After a while, Huiheng came down again.
"What are you doing walking around?" Yuefei asked angrily.
"My mother said she was coming over."
"Then you go and pick her up. Don't hang around here. It makes me upset."
"This... is not work. It's not good for me to go out."
Huiheng was a little embarrassed. It didn't matter whether he left or not.
"Then you stay with Liu Xiao and look at the front desk. I'll go out for a walk."
"OK!"
Huiheng agreed immediately.
Yue Fei rolled her eyes at him, got up and left. She stopped at the door and turned around and asked, "Hui Heng, do you think my temper has gotten worse?"
"No!"
Hui Heng replied subconsciously, and then realized that the other person was not Su Gu, so he thought for a while and said: "There is something true recently. In the past, Sister Yuefei, you were always calm and calm, never lost your temper, and it made people feel hard to get close to you.
"But I feel like it's much better now than before."
Yeah?
When did it start to change?
Yuefei touched her face, turned around while thinking, and almost bumped into someone.
"Liu Xiao!"
Liu Xiao passed the exam smoothly. After all, he already knew it. After practicing for a week, he will get the certificate soon and will be sent directly to the seventh group.
Since the bus does not go to the front of the seventh group, it only goes to the street next to it, so you need to walk in the middle.
After he got out of the car, he met an aunt in her forties or fifties who was carrying a small package. Since she had followed the same path as him and had a clear goal, he couldn't help but take a second look.
It was this extra look that made the aunt strike up a conversation and introduced herself as coming to the seventh group, so the two of them came over together.
When I got to the door, I was almost hit by Yue Fei who was going out.
"Sister Yuefei, are you going out?"
"I... won't go out."
Yuefei turned around and went back.
"mom!"
Huiheng came over to greet her, and only then did Liu Xiao know that this aunt was Huiheng's mother.
"Hello, aunt, I didn't expect you to be Huiheng's mother."
Huiheng's mother is a typical city girl, dressed casually but well, with no traces of physical labor on her face or hands.
"It's okay. I'll bring you some food. Thank you for taking care of Xiaohui."
As he spoke, he opened the package, and inside was a two-layer plastic box. Inside the box were a variety of handmade snacks.
"Come and taste it."
Huiheng's mother handed one over, and Liu Xiao extended her hand to thank her.
"Are you new here? I've never seen you before. What do you do here?"
"Yes, I...do some chores."
Liu Xiao took a bite of the snack in her hand. Although she didn't know the name, it was quite delicious, soft and waxy, and had a faint floral fragrance.
"The Zajia is fine, the Zajia is safe."
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment by Hui Heng's mother's words. Seeing that Yue Fei's expression didn't change next to her, it was obvious that she wasn't surprised at all that she knew extraordinary things.
Liu Xiao was a little surprised when he saw it. Huiheng's mother introduced him: "Xiaohui's father is just like you, but he passed away because of the mission. He used to be the leader of your seventh group."
"Mom, stop talking."
"Why can't you say it? You, like your father, are serious, but you have to pay attention to safety, do you know?"
"I know." Huiheng nodded in agreement.
"This is for your team leader, please send it over."
Saying that, Huiheng's mother took out the bottom layer and stuffed it to Huiheng.
Watching Hui Heng go upstairs, Liu Xiao felt that according to the character of the team leader, he would not accept it. But after a moment when he saw Hui Heng coming back with empty hands, he realized that there were many things in the seventh team that he did not understand.
Su Gu came down with Hui Heng. When she saw Hui Heng's mother, she sweetly called out "Hello, Auntie."
Huiheng's mother also knew that she shouldn't stay here longer. She chatted with a few people and praised Su Gu a few times before saying goodbye and leaving. Huiheng and Su Gu went out to see her off.
Sitting at the front desk, Liu Xiao watched the TV without saying a word. After a while, her heart suddenly felt sour.
My parents don't know what they should be doing now. It has been more than ten days and they have called at least once under normal circumstances. They should have found out that something happened to them, right?
How big a blow is this to them?
Liu Xiao gritted her teeth tightly, not daring to think about it.
Yuefei saw his expression. She didn't understand what a person with amnesia would think in his heart, but she still slowly reached out and held his hand.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiao was shocked and retracted her hand. This chapter has been completed!
