Hua Shi didn't expect that hearing his name from Liu Qishuang's mouth would feel like this.
These were clearly just two ordinary words that I had heard from many people before, but they were completely different from Liu Qishuang's.
Liu Qishuang's tone was very gentle, and there was a smile on his lips when he spoke. It seemed that because he was in a good mood when this scene happened, the ending of his voice rose slightly when he spoke, which made people feel itchy, as if the willow catkins in spring were brushed into their hearts.
Hua Shi's face immediately turned red with shame. He stood there staring at Liu Qishuang in the illusion without blinking.
At this time, Liu Qishuang had already wiped Jiang Tingwan's hands clean and straightened his messy clothes. She whispered, "Go out quickly. Hua Shi should have finished his practice and is resting. I have to go check on him."
Hua Shi's gaze was still fixed on Liu Qishuang. Although he was fully aware of Senior Jiang's condition and knew that he was totally unconscious at the moment, Hua Shi still felt a sour feeling in his stomach rising to his forehead when he saw Liu Qishuang wiping his hands with her eyelashes drooping and her patient look.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't traveled through time a thousand years earlier, so that he could have known Liu Qishuang from the beginning like everyone else, and not be taken advantage of by others.
At this time, Liu Qishuang had already tidied up the room and put Jiang Tingwan's clothes in order. There seemed to be footsteps outside, and a voice came from afar, calling "System".
Hua Shi suddenly turned around and looked out the window, and recognized that it was his own voice.
He suddenly remembered when the things in this illusion should have happened. This should have happened not long after he returned to Xuanling Pavilion from Shuanglin Valley. During that time, he had just learned about the connection between the ancient clan and Liu Qishuang. Whenever he had time, he would come to Yunxiu Pen Space to practice, sometimes for several hours, and his master and Sect Master Yi Zhan would also come here to guide him in his practice.
Usually when he was practicing, Senior Jiang Tingwan would also come to the space. Hua Shi usually didn't know where he was playing, but seeing that he liked this place very much, he just let him go.
It was not until this time that Hua Shi realized that food was often missing from his space and his hidden notebooks were often damaged. It turned out that it was Senior Jiang who was secretly making trouble.
But he never knew that Liu Qishuang was also here.
Hua Shi heard his own voice coming from outside the door and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
However, Liu Qishuang in the room was not in a hurry. He glanced at Jiang Tingwan, then turned and walked to the door, as if intending to welcome Hua Shi who had returned from practicing outside.
Pushing open the door, his white clothes greeted the moonlight outside. His porcelain-like skin was almost transparent under the moonlight. Then, under Hua Shi's gaze, his whole body scattered into star-like halos, and finally condensed into a golden ball of light, and the ball of light turned into the familiar and noble white cat.
The white cat walked out quietly with light steps, while Hua Shi stood there in a daze. Through the open door of the room, he could see himself standing in the distance at the other end of the corridor, sweating all over. He saw the white cat stepping on the table and jumping onto his shoulders. He was helpless and indulgent as his sweaty hands stroked its beautiful white fur. He saw the cat gently use its paw pads to block his face as he was about to rub it and bury his face in the cat's belly.
Hua Shi: “…”
Until the illusion disappeared and he returned to the hot spring pool with the sound of gurgling water, Hua Shi still felt that everything was like a dream.
He even suspected that he was still in that dream and had not woken up at all.
But his consciousness was clearer than ever before, so clear that it was even too intense.
He heard the voice in his heart constantly shouting this fact, the system is Liu Qishuang! The system is actually Liu Qishuang! The "system" that has been with him for more than a year, watching him fool around and giving him equipment, plug-ins, and experience points is actually Liu Qishuang!
Even in his dreams, he never dared to think about such things, so even though Hua Shi had doubts when he noticed something was wrong, he absolutely did not dare to connect the system with Liu Qishuang.
But……
Hua Shi now felt that his limbs were no longer his own, his thoughts had gradually become empty, and his soul seemed to be floating around, not knowing where it had ascended to. He stood stiffly by the pool, the force in his hands almost crushing the Huiguang Pearl.
The sound of the dripping water seemed to be fast and slow, and I didn't know how much water had flowed. However, the stars and the moon above the Yunxiu Pen space seemed to have never changed, and still radiated the same glow.
Until there was a faint noise outside, Hua Shi raised his head with a stiff neck and saw Xuan Shuzhi walking in from outside.
"Master..." Hua Shi was about to speak, but just as he finished speaking, he saw the familiar white cat following Xuan Shuzhi and walking towards him.
Hua Shi's voice suddenly disappeared. He was a man who was always chattering, but now he was speechless and didn't know how to start.
Xuan Shuzhi noticed that he was acting strange, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? I just left you alone for a while and let you practice on your own. Why do you act like you've been wronged?"
Hua Shi was certainly not wronged, he was frightened, and it was an enormous fright.
This kind of thing is not just a pie in the sky. Hua Shi felt that he had picked up a Manchu Han banquet that fell from the sky, and picked up a unique treasure that is unique in the world. The obsession that he had for so long suddenly became a reality. Hua Shi was now surprised, happy, and uneasy. He didn't even have time to recall how he had been getting along with the system during this time, what he had said, and what embarrassing things he had done. Now that person appeared in front of him.
Hua Shi stared at the white cat walking towards him. He didn't know what millions of filters were planted in his heart. He just felt that even when he turned into a cat, he was the most beautiful cat in the world, with every hair on his body glowing white.
Before he met Liu Qishuang, he was naturally eager to see her immediately, but he had not yet sorted out all these messy things. Seeing the white cat, or Liu Qishuang, so soon, he became a little timid.
He didn't know what tone or attitude he should use when interacting with Liu Qishuang at this moment. He even felt that even the action of lowering his hands was wrong.
He opened his mouth, trying to make some sound, but his reaction was too slow at this speed. In the end, before he could make a sound, the white cat came in front of him and jumped onto his shoulder as easily as usual.
Hua Shi's face suddenly became tense.
Although her figure was as light as a cloud, in Hua Shi's mind, he felt as if he was carrying a huge weight on his right shoulder.
Fang Wei didn't know what Hua Shi was thinking. He could see that Hua Shi's expression seemed a little unusual, but he didn't expect that Hua Shi had seen his identity from the Huiguang Pearl. He looked at Hua Shi who had been silent for a long time and said softly, "Host, the Master of Xuanling Pavilion has something to say to you."
His tone was no different from usual, and he still spoke in the same way as before, calling Hua Shi "host".
Hua Shi finally pulled his soul back halfway, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a subtle feeling.
It seemed that nothing had changed, but he just knew the true identity of the system. However, the words spoken by the other party in the same tone sounded completely different in his ears.
Even the tone of voice, which was usually flat and without ups and downs, became low, subtle, gentle and restrained in Hua Shi's ears.
Hua Shi's heartbeat became even more uncontrollable because of his own thoughts.
It was not until the white cat stared at him silently for a long time that Xuan Shuzhi could not help but call him again. He raised his eyes and quickly responded: "Ah? Master, what's wrong?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and closed the folding fan in his hand, squinting his eyes and smiling: "Is your soul back?"
Hua Shi scratched his head embarrassedly and said "hmm" softly.
Xuan Shuzhi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "Could it be that when you were sitting here just now, you were thinking about the person you saw in your dream?"
Hua Shi was stunned as if he had been electrocuted when he heard this, and said quickly: "No, no, no, that's not right, it's... I did think of it."
He glanced at the white cat standing on his shoulder.
In fact, he had expressed his feelings for Liu Qishuang in front of the system countless times a long time ago, but at that time he didn't know that the person he liked was around him. Saying such words to the system before knowing the truth and expressing it in person after knowing the truth are completely different.
Hua Shi thought he was not thin-skinned, but his cheeks turned red more times today than in the whole year.
He lowered his head to avoid the white cat's sight, and then he said, "Master, you haven't told me your story yet."
Xuan Shuzhi did not continue to ask, but smiled and said, "You performed very well this time, and everyone is praising you. During this time, you should rest well in Xuanling Pavilion and recuperate. We will find a way to investigate other matters."
Hua Shi nodded and asked again: "Is it about the black snake? Does it have other accomplices?"
Xuan Shuzhi was somewhat surprised by Hua Shi's statement: "How did you know?"
Hua Shi said: "I guessed that its power is unusual. My spirit creature told me that it may have other helpers in Xuanqing Continent. Since Master also said so, then my guess should be correct. Are its companions difficult to deal with?"
Hua Shi looked a little worried, but Xuan Shuzhi shook his head and said, "Don't be too nervous. If the sky falls, don't we elders still have us here? How can it be your turn as a junior to step forward?"
Looking at Xuan Shuzhi's expression, he didn't seem to be too worried about this matter, so Hua Shi felt relieved. Then Xuan Shuzhi said a few more words of concern and turned to leave. It was unknown whether he was going to find Yi Zhan or Wen Zhong and the others.
Hua Shi watched Xuan Shuzhi leave. After feeling relieved about what happened, he immediately tensed up again, realizing that Liu Qishuang was right beside him.
He looked down and found that the white cat had left his shoulder at some point and sat on the stone beside him.
There was a lot of rising hot air behind them. The white cat's fur was slightly wet, sparkling in the moonlight, but it didn't care. It just looked up at Hua Shi and said seriously: "Do you have some questions for me?"
Hua Shi blinked, not immediately paying attention to what the white cat said, but his eyes were uncontrollably fixed on the white cat's two front paws.
The white cat was squatting on the ground with its two front legs standing straight, revealing its fluffy and soft paws. Hua Shi's thoughts were dancing, and he suddenly remembered that when he didn't know the other party's identity, he once treated him as an artificial intelligence system. So many times he had no scruples at all, often hugging him, rubbing his soft paws, burying his belly, and pinching his ears.
Hua Shi didn't think much of these things at the time, but now that he thinks about it...
Hua Shi suddenly turned around, squatted down, and buried his face in his arms.
Fang Wei looked at Hua Shi's appearance, and couldn't help but stand up and jump off the stone in confusion, and walked to the squatting Hua Shi: "Host?"
Hua Shi was still covering herself, and when she heard his voice, she quickly said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, I'm fine, I just... can't control my expression."
