Huaiyu, who was far away in the wilderness, had no idea of ​​what Baiyu had found out.

She just looked at Lin Xuefeng blankly: "Why do you say that?"

She lives in symbiosis with the Rose Corridor... It sounds so cool! But...

"It shouldn't be this kind of relationship." She shook her head.

Lin Xuefeng was a little surprised: "Why are you so sure?"

Huaiyu sighed: "If I live with her, then why does she like me to kowtow to her? That's too bad!"

Lin Xuefeng: ...

He never expected this to be the reason, but he still gently touched Huaiyu's hair, then smiled and said, "Maybe... the little one kowtows obediently, it's so cute."

He knew that many plants liked her, and this could not be explained by her affinity for wood alone. The biggest guess was that Huaiyu itself was also a plant.

This idea was a bit unbelievable, but he heard that Huaiyu had been sleeping in the tree cocoon for many years, so he said at this moment: "What kind of supernatural power can turn back time and change your appearance? And let you go from the tiredness of being 30 years old to the appearance you hoped to have in your dreams?"

Seeing that Zhou Qian was also listening attentively, Lin Xuefeng also said solemnly: "Xiao Yu, do you think it is possible that Huai Yu is dead - and you are the fusion of her and the Rose Corridor?"

He looked at the tree cocoon whose roots had re-entered the ground. "After all, the existence of this tree cocoon does not conform to the nature of plants. Instead, it is like the process of animals nurturing life. Oviparous or viviparous."

His explanation was so complicated that Huaiyu just stretched out his hand silently: "You mean... the blood vessels in my body are also like this, with thousands of roots and tendrils?"

Lin Xuefeng laughed.

Then he held Huaiyu's hand: "No. I know a lot of blood was shed on the way you brought me back - you should be a human being."

Huaiyu did not dwell on this, but tried hard to search his memory. After a moment, he nodded thoughtfully: "In fact, it is very likely."

She described the feeling: "When I look back at my memories, it's not like I experienced it myself, but rather like I'm watching a movie - I know I'm not her, and she's not me."

She should have felt relieved after saying these words.

But for some reason, my eyes suddenly turned red, my heart ached, and tears fell uncontrollably.

This caught Lin Xuefeng off guard, and he quickly stretched out his hand to wipe his tears. His fingers were white, but his palms were covered with rough calluses. Even when he gently wiped Huaiyu's cheek, it caused a slight sting.

But Huaiyu didn't care about that at all.

She just cried and said, "I, I don't want to cry either. I just feel so sorry for her... How could she meet such a bad person! I really don't want to cry..."

But, I just can't control it.

She choked up and tears streamed down her face.

Lin Xuefeng paused when he was about to summon Qingshui, then he held Huaiyu's head and gently brought it to his chest: "Then cry for her."

"It is society's fault that she cannot successfully complete her studies."

"When she was young, she encountered a family like Wu Yue's. Human morality only constrains good people."

"But Xiaoyu, after you finish crying, you must always remember her. When we return to the Rose Corridor, I will bring back the mother and son to hold a memorial ceremony for you and for you all."

His chest vibrated slightly as he spoke. Huai Yu buried her head in the warm embrace, tears soaking her clothes. But after hearing these words, her heart, which had been aching from being clenched in his hands, seemed to ease down.

Lin Xuefeng's gentle voice came. This time, he did not hide his cold eyes in front of Zhou Qian: "Ask your heart, if you do this, will Huai Yu be satisfied?"

Zhou Qian listened silently on the side, his expression also cold and serious.

Killing someone and claiming credit for it, and the person he killed was his own girlfriend, this kind of person is really shameless. Lin Xuefeng's decisiveness was exactly what he wanted.

only……

He frowned: "Huai Yu's death must be related to him, but now, everything is our guess. We need to find evidence, and then..."

"unnecessary."

Lin Xuefeng's brows were cold, and his expression was totally different from the gentleness when he gently stroked Huai Yu's hair.

"Zhou Qian, you don't have any special abilities, but you live alone with Xiaoyu in the Rose Corridor, and you already have the idea of ​​taking care of everything for her. This change is very hard for you, and I know it."

There are no cowards in the defending army.

The reason why Zhou Qian tolerated everything was that he felt that he couldn't cause trouble for Xiaoyu. Huaiyu naturally understood this, otherwise, how could she easily entrust everything to Zhou Qian? The feelings between the two of them were sincere, pure and warm, like candlelight that warmed each other. When he just woke up, Lin Xuefeng immediately noticed this unbreakable trust, and his heart was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

But now, when Huaiyu's tears fell again and again, when her pain was felt by others, Lin Xuefeng was glad that she had such support and such a guardian in her lonely life.

Therefore, his words at this moment were particularly decisive: "Evidence is only used to accuse criminals in peacetime. But now, only six years have passed since the disaster."

He gently pressed down on Huaiyu's head, trying to prevent her from looking up and seeing his expression without any warmth: "Since we can be sure that he is the one who harmed Huaiyu, we just need to understand the cause and effect and bring him and the people he cares about here."

No cause and effect is even needed.

Once you bring the person here, you will naturally know.

Zhou Qian's slightly worried expression froze.

After a moment he sighed slightly: "You are right."

However, he still wanted to emphasize: "I don't think the changes I made for Xiaoyu are sacrifices, because she is also tolerant of me."

Lin Xuefeng nodded, as if it were a matter of course: "I know. Love——"

He smiled. Zhou Qian seemed a little embarrassed to say this word, but he still had to express it.

"Love is always feeling indebted."

It is also mutual tolerance.

And Huaiyu's crying gradually stopped.

After a moment, she reached out and took away Lin Xuefeng's hand that was pressing on her head, raised her tear-stained face, her eyes full of hope:

"Can you bring him and his mother back like you did to the felon?"

"You said that we must be decisive when taking action and not give small people a chance to turn the tables. I always remember that."

Lin Xuefeng looked at her and suddenly laughed again.

His rough palm gently stroked Huaiyu's cheek, his eyes full of admiration and appreciation: "Of course."

Huai Yu burst into laughter.

Then she stretched out her hands and looked at Zhou Qian: "Brother Zhou Qian, I have always wanted to hug you."

Zhou Qian couldn't help but laugh at her: "You still think of yourself as a child."

But he laughed out loud despite Lin Xuefeng's cold gaze, still strode forward, and then hugged Huaiyu tightly in his arms.

“Don’t worry, we will do it,” he promised.

…

Being in the wilderness, there is no solid evidence for anything we speculate, including the relationship between Huaiyu and the Rose Corridor.

But the tree cocoon had already taken root in the ground, and new milky white roots had gradually grown from the originally withered places, which made the three onlookers breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Qian immediately decided: "Let's rest here for two days."

Huaiyu had recovered. He squatted there and touched the cocoon again: "Okay - wait until it grows completely, then go back as soon as possible and return this to the Rose Corridor."

She was a little melancholy: "I miss home a little."

Zhou Qian wanted to too.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Xuefeng - since Huaiyu was already with him, he should treat him seriously as a member of the family, and this decision naturally required the other party's participation.

Lin Xuefeng thought about it and held out his hand to Huaiyu: "In that case, we can go to the ruins together - Xiaoyu, do you want to go treasure hunting?"

Huaiyu was indeed in high spirits: "Go!"

Then he looked at Zhou Qian: "Brother Zhou Qian, are you going?"

Zhou Qian had a blank expression on his face. "You can't usually find anything in ruins like this. I've encountered many of them when I was in the defense army. Besides, I don't want to be a light bulb now. Just come back before dinner."

"otherwise……"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He tried to threaten, then racked his brains to find a powerful sentence: "If you don't come back, I will have free time for dinner."

Huaiyu thought of what Chen Xing said about Zhou Qian's specialty, chestnut stewed fish, and swore to the sky: "I will definitely come back in time!"

When the two of them left the spacious open space and entered the forest, Huaiyu suddenly looked at Lin Xuefeng, who was holding her hand, curiously: "Does your ability allow you to fly? Otherwise, how do you maintain your speed normally?"

Lin Xuefeng thought for a moment and said, "There are two ways - if there is enough water, you can control the water flow."

"Another one..."

He let go of Huai Yu's hand and squatted down instead: "Do you want to try? After my ability awakened and my physical fitness was greatly improved, I went through many special trainings."

Huai Yu leaned over curiously and held his shoulders tightly with both hands.

“It’s okay.” Lin Xuefeng tilted his head slightly: “Grab your own wrists and hug my neck. Don’t worry about strangling me. If you only hold my shoulders, I’m afraid you won’t be able to lie down steadily.”

Of course Huaiyu wants to hug his neck!

She adjusted her posture without any hesitation, and then pressed her body close to him, even her cheek touching his profile.

Rubbed it.

I feel so close! So happy!

Lin Xuefeng seemed to laugh, and then whispered: "Hold on tight!"

The moment he finished speaking, he slightly bent one knee, exerted force suddenly, and jumped up suddenly!

At the same time, the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into an [X]-shaped water blade in front of him, clearing a path ahead faster and more swiftly than his rapidly leaping figure.

The branches in the forest slowly fell to the ground, and he carried Huai Yu on his back, running, jumping, and using the force to soar into the air...

The movements are exceptionally smooth.

Huaiyu subconsciously hugged him tighter. In order to prevent her neck from being strangled, she tried her best to grab the collarbone of his shirt with her arms. She just felt so stable!

The opponent controlled the force every time he used it, and she was running at high speed, but she didn't feel any bumps at all. The only sound in her ears was the friction of branches and leaves in the forest, and the whistling of the wind. For a moment, she felt that even her heart was free.

“It’s like flying.”

She murmured in Lin Xuefeng's ear.

"Yeah." He also agreed, and his pace gradually slowed down: "I actually like to carry out tasks alone. When I run fast, it seems that all the troubles are left behind."

"The heart will be freer than ever before."

Subconsciously, Huaiyu hugged him tightly again.

After a moment, she suddenly realized——

"You don't need to use the water knife. My ability will make the plants avoid it."

"Too late." Lin Xuefeng said succinctly: "You have no combat awareness, and your ability can't keep up with my running speed."

Huaiyu thought about how he was not very good at dealing with Wu Yue, and he only relied on his powerful superpowers to rush through. He couldn't help feeling guilty: "I, I will practice in the future..."

Lin Xuefeng suddenly laughed out loud: "Xiao Yu, when I first taught you, I told you to practice running more so that you can run fast when you encounter danger... Didn't you remember this sentence?"

The soft body pressed against my back suddenly stiffened.

Lin Xuefeng smiled even more: "Then why did you refuse to run 10 kilometers every day when Zhou Qian asked you to do it?"

Huaiyu: ...

Damn it! I told him too much.

But the 10km run was too hard. She said honestly, "I can't run. I don't want to run at all. It's too hard. Can't I just stay where I am and wait like a blade of grass?"

It sounds like there is no future when you say this, because you have the ability but you are not self-reliant enough.

But... 10 kilometers is still not enough! Huaiyu thought about it and tried to explain: "My supernatural power has been trained very well, and I haven't been lazy."

Lin Xuefeng suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."

He put Huaiyu down, then couldn't help but bend over slightly and move closer:

"I know."

"You don't have to run if you don't want to."

“Be a blade of grass or a tree. It doesn’t matter what you do. Just be the little elm tree that is forever free.”

Huaiyu blinked, then cheered and hugged his neck: "Lin Xuefeng, you are really super super invincible!"

Lin Xuefeng stood there, motionless, allowing her to cheer for such a small matter. He finally understood why Zhou Qian, who was determined to go through life and death, let down his guard and give everything for her after just a short time of getting along.

Because she really deserves it.

But at this moment, he didn't say these words, he just hugged her tightly again, and then put her down: "Come, see if you can find the treasure here."

Huaiyu looked at the broken walls that suddenly appeared in the forest ahead, and suddenly felt a little regretful: "Oh! Treasure hunting is Xiaotian's specialty, I should have brought it here too!"

Lin Xuefeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Huaiyu emphasized: "Really! It's really amazing! When I first had no food to eat, I dug its hole and found a lot of treasures hidden inside!"

“These are all good things with low mutation values ​​that are not available on the market!”

Lin Xuefeng nodded, then asked with a smile: "Then you didn't bring it out, is it because it doesn't like to come out?"

Huaiyu: ...

As a vole, he is shy and unwilling to travel far, especially not wanting to travel far with her - isn't that unreasonable? Xiaotian, you are so useless! (End of this chapter)
