Xunhua sat on the top of a very tall tree.

This is a very good season. Many flowers in the courtyard are in bloom. The petals are blooming, and the vitality is pleasing to the eye.

Compared to those bright flowers hanging on the branches, Xunhua prefers some inconspicuous little ones in the shade.

Xunhua watched a crooked seed idly for several days, and today it finally sprouted its first bud from between the rocks in a twisted posture with great difficulty.

A wet snail crawled along the grass neck in the moonlight for a whole hour, leaving a trail of sticky liquid, and finally happily drilled into the depths of the damp humus.

What I like most is that under the soil, groundhogs have given birth to a nest of little ones. The whole family huddles together, making some chirping noises.

Xunhua also saw Lin Yuan, who was sitting under a tree and chewing his fingers.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something recently?" Xunhua asked her.

Lin Yuan raised his head and through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he saw half of a silver mask and a small section of a human jaw.

Here is a tree, with roots, trunk and branches. She stood at the bottom of the tree, and without opening her mouth, she could easily convey what she wanted to say through the trunk of the tree to the gardener sitting at the top of the tree.

"So that's why you're worried." Xunhua, half leaning on the tree branch, seemed to be smiling, "You look much better now than when I first met you. You look more and more like a human being."

"I have learned to think of simple things in such a complicated way."

Xunhua was making fun of her, but this was perhaps the sentence that Lin Yuan wanted to hear the most.

Like a human.

You will be liked by others, and you will also have the ability to like others.

"If you still don't know what you want to do, why not invite him to join you in this action?"

"When you spend time with each other day and night, ask yourself your heart and body."

Does the body count, too? Lin Yuan tilted his head and thought about it.

"Of course, all actions of life are driven by desire. Whether you like that killer whale or not, your body may know it before your brain."

At this moment, the light was on in the kitchen on the first floor, and there were clinking sounds coming from it. Guo Suo was preparing a midnight snack for everyone.

Lin Yuan stood under the tree, and the tentacles responded more excitedly than ever before.

【Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy】

The voices of the tentacles merged into one echo.

We love fish

[I like the shape of his fingers, and I like it most when he forcibly holds on to the sheets.]

[I like his voice, hehe, his voice is always charming]

[When he cries a little, I can even give him my life]

[I only like fish tails, I am a fish tail control]

[I like the taste of tongue?]

I like the whole fish

…

Almost every tentacle expressed its opinion, a hundred mouths talking at the same time. Lin Yuan was overwhelmed by the noise.

Xunhua, who was on the top of the tree, raised her arms and rested her head on them to lie more comfortably.

"Do you know why I was willing to go out with you in the first place?"

Lin Yuan under the tree thought about it and realized that she actually knew.

What moved Xunhua was not anything, but the words she said to Windsor.

Those words expressed Xunhua's feelings.

On a moonlit night, Xunhua's voice came through the swaying shadows of the trees.

"While I was still a human being, I felt unworthy of liking Windsor."

"Then I became a mutant, lost my human emotions, and became another creature. I think it's impossible for me to like anything again."

"But I can see her every day. We have been together for four hundred years. I found that as a monster, I fell in love with that girl again."

"I've always wanted to tell her that the moon in her heart is just a cold and boring stone. That stone is falling in love with her, a flesh-and-blood mouse, more and more every day."

"Four hundred years. I've always wanted to tell her that. I should have told her in person while she's still alive."

"Why didn't you speak up at the beginning?"

…

The sound of incense dissipated among the branches and leaves. The wind blew through the jungle, and the rustling sound of the leaves seemed to be telling of endless regrets.

The gardener, half lying on the treetop, said nothing more.

Lin Yuan, sitting under the tree, gnawed his fingers for a while, then lowered his head and opened his personal terminal.

I edited the text message carefully.

[It's wrong to use this word? It's too cold. 】

[Use this? That's wrong, it's not cute enough]

[Emoji, the expression is used incorrectly, it means speechless]

【Add a heart! Must add! Pink, shiny! 】

[Send it to him, send it to him]

The message was sent for a long time, but there was no reply from the other party. There was not even a sign that the message was being typed.

Lin Yuan waited for a long time and fell asleep sitting under the tree.

Several golden branches meandered down, lifted her body, and carried her to the top floor window, into the attic, and placed her on the bed.

Then he stuffed the little killer whale on the bedside table into her quilt.

…

Song Yuansi came to the office of the Royal Guard in the White Tower.

His former senior schoolmate Ni Ji was recently promoted to adjutant of the Royal Guard. He took him under his wing and gave him many important tasks, making his life much easier.

Song Yuansi has been in high spirits these days, running to Ni Ji's office every day, feeling full of energy every day.

"Senior, have you been up all night? All night?"

Seeing the thick stack of organized files next to Ni Ji, Song Yuansi was surprised.

There was a royal banquet last night, which lasted until very late. Senior has already handled so many things this early in the morning, he is really diligent.

"Have you been working too hard lately? There are some things that don't need to be dealt with so hastily." Song Yuansi asked puzzledly.

Ni Ji signed the last document in his hand and handed it to him.

"I'm going to the contaminated area and may not be in the tower for a while. I want to arrange everything I need to do so that I can give others a confirmation that I can go."

"Going to the contaminated area?" Song Yuansi asked in surprise, "Didn't you just come back from the contaminated area not long ago? Why are you going there again?"

Ni Ji waved his hands without further explanation, "If anything happens during this period, you can report it directly to Chief Luther."

He stood up and left, heading toward the restroom in the Sentinel Training Camp.

It was early in the morning and most of the sentries had not yet gotten up, so there was almost no one in the bathroom.

Ni Ji took off the personal protective equipment on his wrist and washed his face in front of the mirror.

The cold water flowed down my cheeks.

After a sleepless night, the person in the mirror looked energetic and excited, with an imperceptible joy hidden in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He put on his personal terminal again. The avatar that he was paying special attention to was at the top of the screen and it lit up when he touched it lightly.

Chat? The pink heart at the end of the record is clearly visible.

I watched it over and over again throughout the night. I don't know how many times I turned it on.

Such childish behavior is simply ridiculous.

But I can't control myself.

He was all alone in this world, doing dangerous things that could get him killed at any time, so he had no right to be so happy or laugh like that.

But just because of this small picture on the personal terminal, he was filled with joy for the whole night.

He took another look and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Someone pushed open the bathroom door and came in. Ni Ji glanced at him sideways and his eyes turned cold.

The one who held Lin Yuan last night? Jiang Yangshuo.

Jiang Yangshuo was surprised to run into Ni Ji in the bathroom.

He stood by the door, staring at Ni Ji by the sink, his eyes sinister and his face ugly.

Ni Ji withdrew his gaze and stood by the sink, adjusting his cuffs, neither too fast nor too slow.

You don't need to look back to know what the eyes are looking at you from behind.

"Lin Yuan said that you were with her?"

Jiang Yangshuo's voice was very low, with a bit of the breath of a wild animal, like an angry leopard hiding in the shadows.

His spiritual body is a cheetah, and when he is emotionally excited, his body will show cheetah characteristics.

Ni Ji supported herself on the edge of the cold pool with her hands, glanced at him sideways, and raised her eyebrows, which was considered as her tacit agreement.

Even though he had never been given the status, he would never deny it at this moment.

The killer whale’s ferocity may only be inferior to one person.

"She, do you know that she is an offensive guide?" Jiang Yangshuo's eyes were red, his eyes were golden leopard pupils, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"Lin Yuan's mental power is so powerful that it is terrifying, and it will only cause pain to the sentinels."

Ni Jishi said nothing, just sneered. The sound was full of mockery, even harsher than cursing.

"People like you stay with her and tolerate her only to cling to her royal bloodline." Cheetah bared his teeth, tensed his body, and tried to provoke Tiger Whale. "You can't really like an offensive guide, you shameless person."

Ni Ji slowly wiped his hands with a towel and turned around.

He was much taller than Jiang Yangshuo, and he slowly approached him with a smile on his face, causing Jiang Yangshuo to step back subconsciously, and was completely provoked into his half-beast form.

His face was covered in leopard spots, his mouth was baring sharp fangs, and he was making low guttural sounds.

Ni Ji adjusted the style buttons of his military uniform. He did not transform into a half-beast, nor did he summon a spirit.

He approached Jiang Yangshuo, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "It turns out that she has never been close to you."

The beautiful eyelids are ironic and suggestive of something unfinished.

I do, and I know how good she is.

The words were not spoken, but they were expressed nakedly with his eyes, revealing an unbearable smugness.

The half-human cheetah finally couldn't help but roar and rushed towards him.

In the dim early morning, a few muffled sounds were heard from the toilet of the sentry training camp.

When Song Yuansichong came in to check, everything was over.

His mild-mannered senior was standing at the sink washing his hands.

"Nothing." Senior Ni Ji smiled at him and washed off the last bit of blood on his fist under the running water. "I just did something I wanted to do for a long time."

There were faint moans and a distinct smell of blood in the bathroom cubicle. With the sentinel's sharp five senses, there was no way he could not detect it.

Song Yuansi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and cleverly pretended that he heard nothing.
