"Shiyan, is that you?" Luo Youyou shouted at the tree.
"It's me..." Han Shuiyan responded, but did not show up.
"Come out and see me!" Luo Youyou stroked the big tree with her hand. Several eagles were circling in the dark night sky, making low calls from time to time. The wind made the forest rustle, and the leaves rustled, as if singing a gentle song, which made Luo Youyou feel even more sad and guilty.
"Sister, I will scare you..." Han Shuiyan's voice was a little aggrieved and a little timid.
"It's okay, you will always be the cutest Han Shuiyan no matter what you become." Luo Youyou smiled, tears silently dripping down her face. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and it was full of pain. This Han Shuiyan who was once cute, domineering, and prone to temper would one day make such a heartbreaking sound.
The big tree emitted a faint light, and a small figure gradually emerged. Half of her face was destroyed and burned beyond recognition. Only one-third of her hair, which was like branch branches, remained. There were burn scars all over her body, which looked a bit hideous. There was a black sticky substance stuck to her body, which was the mark of burning.
Han Shuiyan turned her intact half of her face towards Luo Youyou and smiled sweetly, "Sister Youyou, I thought you wouldn't come back."
Luo Youyou held back her tears and touched her head with trembling hands, "How could it be? Our gentle, lovely, and smart Han Shuiyan is still here, how could I not come back?"
Han Shuiyan reached out and wiped away the tears on Luo Youyou's face. "Sister Youyou, don't be sad. I will be well in a few years."
Han Shuiyan's optimism and understanding made Luo Youyou feel heartbroken. It was she who brought such a disaster to her, and now she was the one who came to comfort her, but she, the culprit, had the nerve to be sad here.
Anger swept through Luo Youyou's heart like a storm. The fire that day seemed to be burning in Luo Youyou's heart at this moment. The flames had the power to engulf everything, licking all her calmness and rationality. She now wished she could tear Tang Xiu into pieces.
"Sister, don't be angry..." Han Shuiyan saw Luo Youyou's eyes, which were as deep as the lake, flashing with anger, and quickly comforted her, "You can't be angry."
"What did you say?" Luo Youyou didn't quite understand what Han Shuiyan meant.
"Sister, you are a devil, so you can't get angry. Anger will make you lose your mind, and you won't be able to control what you will do. You will regret it when you wake up."
Luo Youyou was stunned. Whenever she was angry, she would feel the blood in her body boiling. The mysterious power from deep within her body often made her unable to control herself, making her bloodthirsty, eager to kill, and even driving her crazy.
"Shuiyan, do you know something? About me..." There was a light flickering and jumping in Luo Youyou's dark eyes. She was so eager to know the answer. She wanted to know what she was more than anyone else. In the past, whenever Han Shuiyan said that she was a devil, she didn't take it seriously, but today, she suddenly felt that Han Shuiyan seemed to be able to give her the answer.
But Han Shuiyan shook her head, looking bewildered. "I don't know either. I only know that you are different from others. Your blood..." Han Shuiyan pointed at Luo Youyou's chest. "I've never seen it before."
Luo Youyou's eyes dimmed again, as if a layer of dust had stained the two black gems. Han Shuiyan had never seen such a thing in all her years, so where would she go to find the answers she wanted? Her heart suddenly felt vague, as if it was a snowy world with violent blizzards all over the sky. The strong wind was blowing the snow foam on the ground, raging and raging in her world. The sky and the earth were connected, and everything was white. She was walking in the snow in a gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wing, barefoot, her soft white jade feet stepping on the white sky and earth. She could not feel anything around her, she only knew that her heart was empty.
"Sister Youyou, what's wrong with you?" Han Shuiyan waved her hand with two burnt fingers in front of Luo Youyou. Luo Youyou turned around suddenly. She didn't know why such a picture appeared in her mind.
When her vision focused, she saw Han Shuiyan's injured hand. She grabbed it and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Han Shuiyan pulled out her hand and hid it behind her back. The other hand that had been hidden behind her back was so large that even the five fingers could not be distinguished. Even though she hid it like this, Luo Youyou still saw everything because Han Shuiyan forgot that she was translucent and could not hide anything.
Luo Youyou tried hard to make her smile look natural, "Shuiyan, I have something to do. I'll come see you later!"
"Ah? You're leaving so soon!" Han Shuiyan's face pouted again, her face full of reluctance, and a little bit of a child's temper, with the corners of her mouth drooping.
Luo Youyou pinched her face and said, "Be good and recover from your injuries. I'll come back to see you after I finish my work."
Han Shuiyan was hesitant to speak when she heard this. She wanted Luo Youyou to stay with her for a while longer, but when she thought about her current state, she finally smiled broadly and said, "Then go quickly. Finish it quickly and come back to play with me!"
Luo Youyou nodded heavily, but in fact, both of them understood that once they left, they didn’t know when they would come back.
Yuri and Jing Yan were waiting at the foot of the mountain. It was a rare moment for the two of them to be so quiet. They didn't fight or quarrel, but were thinking about their own things. Yuri was standing outside the car, leaning against it. The moonlight made his figure look tall and straight. He lowered his head to the ground, a little worried that Luo Youyou would be sad. He never worried about anything, not even his own life, but now, he didn't like this feeling of worry.
Jing Yan was sitting in the car. They had been chasing Tang Xiu all the way but had not been able to catch up. Now they were back in Pingqu. This meant that there would be another fierce battle tonight. However, his injury had not healed completely, and it was in his chest. He was really worried that he would become a burden again tonight.
Yuri saw Luo Youyou walking down the mountain from afar, but the smell in the air was wrong, full of gunpowder. When he saw the fire in Luo Youyou's eyes, he became more certain of his thoughts.
Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
When Luo Youyou was about to rush over, Yuri slipped away. He knew she was angry that he had created that illusion for her, making her think that Han Shuiyan was fine. But, Luo Youyou, I would rather everyone in the world die than let you get hurt! One day you will understand.
Luo Youyou punched the place where Yuri had just leaned against. The car body shook violently and the steel plate shell of the car suddenly dented.
