El looked at the scales floating in front of him and sensed the wings on his back. His expression was one of confusion, as if he didn't understand why the woman who had just seemed ready to kill him would do these things.
They didn't understand why they had wings.
"This looks like my archangel."
A familiar yet sorrowful look flashed across Eros's eyes, but his tone still carried a smile. He stepped forward and touched El's eyebrows and eyes, tracing down the ends of his eyebrows and lightly brushing his fingertips across the corners of his eyes, as if admiring his own precious treasure.
You will forget me, for a very long time. Although I hope you can be happy in the long years to come, it is too late now.
Her tone was filled with deep longing, a complex emotion that Bai Xi had never felt before.
Bai Xi is a blockhead when it comes to relationships. She knows a little bit about it herself, though her friends used to complain about her when she was in college.
A straight-laced woman.
But Eros displayed far more complex emotions than she did.
Bai Xi didn't understand, and couldn't even comprehend it.
"What are you talking about...?"
Perhaps because of the power of 'purification', El's mind was much calmer than before, but he still did not understand Eros's behavior and what she said.
At least he knew that Eros hadn't come with malice, so he didn't continue to show aggression.
"If I told you that you would fall in love with me in the future, would you believe me?"
Eros curled his lips into a breathtaking smile, which momentarily stunned El, who stared at him blankly for a long time without uttering a word.
I didn't understand what she meant either.
He didn't even stop Eros from doing anything, letting her fingertips touch his face.
"Fine, you wouldn't remember even if I told you, sigh."
Eros looked at the dazed El and finally let out a long sigh, his words tinged with resentment, though it was unclear who he was directed at.
Bai Xi clearly heard Eros's words this time, but she only felt shocked and didn't feel any ambiguity at all.
How could a cold and aloof human-machine like an angel possibly fall in love with someone else?
In addition, El had offended her so badly back then, no one in their right mind would like a guy like that. Bai Xi is now very convinced that she and Eros are different.
Bai Xi's heart is like cement sealed shut; it's full of complaints, but not a shred of emotion.
Even at such close range, where she could almost feel the other person's breath, Bai Xi still felt uncomfortable all over.
"you....."
After a long while, El seemed to wake up from a dream, and hesitated slightly before trying to speak, but Eros pressed his fingertips against his lips.
"You wouldn't remember even if I asked, so let it be. I'm happy to see a completely different side of you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xi watched in disbelief as Eros actually pressed his lips to El's lips.
"!!!!"
Bai Xi's mind was instantly filled with exclamation marks. She and Eros now shared their senses, meaning she could feel the touch and temperature of Eros's lips.
El was also frozen in place, his entire body stiff.
He let Eros repeatedly rub his lips against his own, and an emotion he had never felt before surged within him, though he didn't know what it was.
Time ticked by, but El did not push Eros away.
Bai Xi then forced herself to keep kissing El.
My inner voice was no longer just roaring, it was screaming.
That's enough! That's enough!
Stop kissing!
I don't want to be part of your play!
Finally, in Bai Xi's frantic breakdown, Eros released El.
"Yes, as sweet as ever."
She even gave a very skillful critique and nodded in satisfaction.
This action made Bai Xi want to faint on the spot.
Just as Bai Xi was about to faint, her vision began to blur, gradually becoming less and less clear, from a high-definition image of El to a blurry one, until she lost consciousness.
...
"The altar has been opened!"
"Quick, go check on Bai Xi!"
"She wouldn't just die like that, would she?"
"Don't talk nonsense... Bai Xi won't die..."
The little ones' chattering voices rang in her ears, and Bai Xi's consciousness finally began to return. She opened her eyes blankly and saw several little heads with worried expressions on their faces.
"..."
Still reeling from the shock, Bai Xi's mind was a little foggy, her face expressionless and numb like a stone.
"She's awake! She's alright!"
Loy was so excited that he almost jumped up and pounced on Baixi's face, but considering that she had just woken up, he forcibly suppressed the impulse.
"Bai Xi? Bai Xi? Why aren't you saying anything?"
After a while, they realized that Bai Xi seemed abnormal, as if she had been petrified, and they immediately became very anxious and began to try to bring her back to consciousness.
The next second, Bai Xi showed a 'sky has fallen' expression, looking mournful as if she was about to die.
"!!!"
This expression terrified all four elemental spirits still present, causing them to instantly bristle.
Even the usually calm Lu Ling showed a nervous expression, afraid that Bai Xi might do something rash.
"What's wrong with you? Tell us what's wrong, we'll definitely be able to help."
Lu Ling's worried tone was filled with concern, like a mature middle-aged person comforting a child who had lost money.
"N-nothing...it's nothing..."
Although Bai Xi said this, her tone was weak and listless, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
"Really?"
The little ghost asked suspiciously.
Seeing that Bai Xi's soul body was fine, without any curses or injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had only suffered some incurable mental trauma.
That should still be solvable.
At least that's what the little ghost thinks now.
"Um....."
Bai Xi forced a smile, as if to say "life is hard" and looked up at the ruins square. She looked as if her soul had been ripped out and she had lost all hope for life.
She didn't know exactly when Eros's memory occurred.
I don't even know if Eros is actually her.
But all signs indicate that there is a 90% chance that Eros is indeed herself, so why is she so close to El? She simply cannot accept it.
Even if she were crazy, she could never have... that kind of relationship with El.
Bai Xi understands her own personality very well.
So what exactly happened that turned her into that?
Or perhaps, as a goddess in the past, she liked El's personality?
Bai Xi was like a desperate, vengeful spirit, but with nowhere to vent her resentment, she could only silently endure it.
