Liuyin City.
The early morning sun poured down on this green city. Liuyin City, which had been sleeping for a night, woke up in the still cool morning breeze. The rose leaves in the green belts swayed gently in the wind, and from time to time, a rustling sound was made due to the friction between the leaves.
Many residents get up early and go out for a run to enjoy this precious morning time. When they pass by Bai Yu standing in front of the breakfast stall, the plant residents who recognize him will say hello to him.
【You are really popular now. 】
The system couldn't help but sigh as it watched the fifteenth resident of Liuyin City with leaves growing on his head greet Bai Yu.
[That’s true. I don’t mind it, but I think it’s quite novel.]
Bai Yu thought about it and said.
[So do you plan to stay in Liuyin City permanently? ]
The system asked, it always felt that after turning all the residents into rose vegetables, Bai Yu had an inexplicable sense of belonging to this city.
【Maybe I will go to Kitasu in the future. 】
...
...
After paying for breakfast, Bai Yu and the system walked back while chatting. Halfway through, the plant suddenly stopped, and the smiling expression just now turned into a dazed expression.
【He left...】
The rose pattern was covered up again, and there was no trace of the bird in the entire Liuyin City.
【Who left? 】
The system asked reflexively, but immediately reacted.
[You didn't lock him up? I thought you would at least tie him up, but you didn't even take away the crow feather cloak? ]
Bai Yu pursed his lips, looking at the useless breakfast in his hand, and lowered his eyes: [Well, no, I want him to stay by himself. ]
He no longer had the urgency to go back, so he simply found a public bench to sit on, took out his phone and opened the answer he had found before.
The light from the phone flickered, revealing the confusion in those light green pupils.
[I have clearly done everything as instructed above, why is he still unwilling to stay? ]
Bai Yu muttered to himself, and then pressed the "step" button on the screen.
He didn't want to force love on Chu Zehuai, didn't want to put the free and happy little bird in a cage, and didn't want him to become like the imprisoned, tortured and self-destructive character in the book.
In order to make the other party stay, he even spent a lot of energy, just to avoid the flowering period so that the most and most beautiful white roses can bloom.
For plants, this is the best way to express love.
But so what? Chu Zehuai didn't want to stay in Liuyin City at all.
Bai Yu felt a rare moment of helplessness, and the system dealt him another heavy blow.
[Maybe it’s because he no longer loves you. ]
The system touched its non-existent chin and said.
It didn't think there was anything to be sad about. It was even better if Chu Zehuai didn't love it anymore, as it would be able to strangle the love-minded thought in Bai Yu's mind and prevent the plant from thinking about this and that every day.
[But he was willing to come all the way to Liuyin City to find me. ]
Bai Yu pursed his lips and retorted.
[Don't fool yourself. If you don't fish, people won't want to meet you at all. ]
The system's first sentence sent a direct stab through Bai Yu's heart.
[And I just checked the surveillance of the entire Liuyin City. The first thing he did when he arrived was to look for the captain of another team, which means he came for his colleague.]
The system's second sentence sent another stab through Bai Yu's heart.
[Are you still going to say that he rushed over when he saw you being 'killed' by Chen Rong? Maybe he wasn't worried about you at all, he just wanted to kill you himself and didn't want to leave this opportunity to Chen Rong. ]
The system's third sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly breaking down Bai Yu's psychological defenses.
White Rose was completely heartbroken.
[Bai Yu, listen to my advice. You don't want to force love but you want to keep the person. There is no such good thing in the world. He obviously chose the latter between love and career. If you love him, let him go, and let yourself go. From now on, you two will have nothing to do with each other——]
With a beep, Bai Yu directly blocked the system's words.
The cold breakfast was thrown to the wild cats in the city. Bai Yu returned to his residence in a daze. He pushed open the door and walked in. What he saw was a messy room, an open window, and half a curtain that was fluttering because of the wind blowing in from the window.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Bai Yu picked up the uniform behind the bedside table, and then sat on the bed which had already become cold.
Chu Zehuai must have been in a hurry, so he didn't notice the uniform in his blind spot. After pulling half of the curtain, he ran away with the Crow Language cloak.
He could imagine the other party's panic at that time.
Because she was afraid that he might come back at any time, she did not bother to look carefully in the room. She just seized this rare opportunity and flew out of the window and was never seen again.
His little bird was afraid to see him.
After realizing this, Bai Yu felt his heart suddenly tighten. Unspeakable pain and bitterness almost instantly pressed upon his heart, making it hard for him to breathe and almost suffocated.
It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a long time had passed before Bai Yu, who was leaning against the wall, finally recovered.
He lowered his long silver eyelashes, looked at the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau uniform in his hand, and thought that the system might be right.
He couldn't cage a bird that wanted to leave.
He couldn't keep someone who was determined to leave.
If he was leaving, why did he come to Liuyin City? He was given hope, but then his hope was dashed.
Bai Yu inevitably recalled what the system had just said, and Chu Zehuai's bold words: "One day, I will kill all the pollutants in the world, avenge my parents, and restore peace to the world." He also recalled the bloody scene he had seen in the mission recorder, with rose pollutant branches, leaves and juice flying everywhere.
A guess even worse than the possibility that Chu Zehuai hated him emerged.
Chu Zehuai might want to kill him.
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Qiangwei became even sadder.
"bite"
Something hard fell out of the uniform and hit the ground with a crisp sound.
It is the certificate of the Dongzhou Regional Executive Officer and the Captain of the First Squad of the Qinghe City Special Event Investigation Bureau.
Bai Yu paused for a moment, then he slowly picked up the two documents, rubbed the ID photos on them with his hand, took a last nostalgic look at them, then took a deep breath and put them in his pocket.
Find an opportunity to go to Qinghe City, return the other party's things, take back his own things, and then... then try it again. If Chu Zehuai really doesn't love him anymore, then he can only prepare for the worst.
**
Qinghe City Investigation Bureau.
"Brother, why are you back?"
Lin Mo looked at Chu Zehuai in surprise, who had wrapped himself tightly in a cloak. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but after seeing the black feathers on the cloak, he felt unspeakable pain coming from his wings.
Although most of the feathers were those he had shed before, a few were plucked from his wings because there were not enough.
As expected, from ancient times to the present, it has never been easy to be a younger brother.
"There was a big surprise. Things didn't turn out the way I expected. I'll talk about it later."
Chu Zehuai first dealt with his brother, then quickly found a spare uniform from the office and ran to the bathroom to change into it.
He had only experienced this kind of situation where he was wearing nothing inside and only a cover on the outside at home. He didn't expect that one day he would have to maintain this state and fly back to Qinghe City from the distant Liuyin City.
No, it’s not like she’s wearing nothing at all, at least she’s wearing half a curtain underneath.
When Chu Zehuai put on his uniform and returned to the office carrying his cloak and curtains, he saw several pairs of eyes staring at him.
There were even a pair of eyes from an executive who had just received the news and ran over.
Curiosity, gossip, worry...
"What's the current situation in Liuyin City? Where's Shen'an?"
Compared with the love-hate relationship between Chu Zehuai and Bai Yu, the executive officer obviously pays more attention to Liuyin City and their colleagues.
"Liuyin City is in good condition, people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are many awakened people. There is no need to worry about this."
Chu Zehuai recalled, and then lowered his voice,
“As for Shen An, I’m sorry, I didn’t find him and don’t know his current condition.”
"Liuyin City is fine. As for Shen An, no news is the best news. We have to believe in the spider's ability to save his life. Besides, those two are members of the Shen family."
The executive officer breathed a sigh of relief and handed something to Chu Zehuai.
"I have something to do and I have to go. This is for you. I always think that Dongzhou's affairs should be resolved by Dongzhou people themselves."
Chu Zehuai looked at the booklet that was stuffed into his hands.
It is Bai Yu’s graduation certificate from Qinghe University.
The young man on the certificate has a gentle temperament and a bright smile. His beautiful phoenix eyes are curved, full of smiles and expectations for the future, just like every high-spirited and slightly foolish college student.
You are really good at pretending, White Rose.
"Are Li Song, Yue Feng and the others okay?"
Chu Yunrou came over, interrupting Chu Zehuai's thoughts and asked.
As the director of the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau, she was quite worried about the employees who had worked under her for so long.
Unlike Chu Zehuai, Li Song Yuefeng and the others didn't have any special feelings for Bai Yu, and she was really afraid that group of people would be bullied in Liuyin City.
"Fortunately, I eat meat, drink wine and play games every day. It's much happier than in Qinghe City."
Chu Zehuai took out his mobile phone and showed Chu Yunrou the photos he had secretly taken.
The background of the photo was the colorful kindergarten. Li Song and Yue Feng were fighting over who would ride on the rocking pony. Mu Yang, who had already grabbed the rocking pony, was happily watching while eating a small pudding. There was a group of people around cheering them on.
Looking at the group of subordinates who couldn't suppress their smiles while looking at the photos, Chu Yunrou fell into a strange silence. After a moment, the golden eagle quietly walked to the corner, wondering if he usually didn't pay enough attention to the psychological problems of his subordinates.
If I had known they liked this, I should have placed some children's entertainment supplies in the investigation bureau.
After Chu Yunrou left, Yan Ran came up again. This cold woman who was usually quiet asked her question: "Captain Chu, what is the difference between S-level pollutants and super S-level pollutants?"
Yan Ran, who loves fighting, is obviously more concerned about the strength of the two.
"Well, it seems that, apart from being a little stronger, there is not much difference."
There are also some subtle differences. S-level pollutants (referring to the Infinite Gallery) will at least leave a trace for people, but super S-level pollutants (referring to the White Rose) will not even leave a trace for people.
But think about it, there is no way he could say such words, let alone in front of his subordinates, so Chu Zehuai vaguely got away with it.
After Yan Ran left, Lin Mo came up to him almost instantly, his black eyes sparkling: "Brother, so you saw Xiao Bai?"
Chu Zehuai nodded, not knowing what he was thinking of, he lowered his eyes and hid all the expressions in his eyes: "Yes, I saw it."
Lin Mo's eyes widened: "Then why did you come back?"
Pollution has been greatly reduced, and nothing serious has happened in Qinghe City. Why didn't his brother take this opportunity to stay with Xiaobai, but instead ran back?
No, weren’t you thinking about her a lot these days?
Lin Mo was confused and didn't understand.
"Because things went beyond our expectations, he and I...well, did something you definitely haven't done before, and then I panicked and came back."
The main reason was that his mind was too confused at the time. He was afraid that if he stayed in Liuyin City, their daily life would become -
Chu Zehuai: "I think——"
Bai Yu: "Bloom!"
Chu Zehuai: “——Need.”
Bai Yu: "Bloom!"
Chu Zehuai: "——Let's talk."
Bai Yu: "Bloom!"
Chu Zehuai: dead.
The staff was right. Bai Yu must have suppressed his desires before. Now that he didn't have to pretend to be a human, his slightly cool body temperature turned ice-cold. His originally strange brain circuits became even more unpredictable, and his suppressed desires were completely released.
He was a little afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would die on a bed in Liuyin City.
"Oh, so you met Xiao Bai and then left, doesn't that mean—"
Yuan Xue, who was listening on the side, bit her lip and finally managed to say,
"Won't it make Xiaobai think that you are going to have a breakup sex? Or is that what you want? Do you want to say your final goodbye to Xiaobai in this way?"
Isn't this just a subtle way of breaking up in a way that all adults know is clear?
Chu Zehuai snapped the signing pen in his hand, his golden eyes showing a bit of bewilderment: "I... I didn't think so."
He left at that time simply because he really didn't know how to deal with what was going to happen next, and he subconsciously wanted to find a quiet place to think for a while.
He had never thought about breaking up with Bai Yu.
"Hiss, Xiaobai never took the initiative to look for you in the first place. After finally meeting you once, you ran away again. He will definitely not come to look for you anymore. It's over, it's over. You two won't stay in different cities and never see each other for the rest of your lives, will you?"
Yuan Xue scratched her hair, and Lin Mo also realized the seriousness of the problem, and the whole crow became serious.
"Let me think about it."
Chu Zehuai replied absentmindedly, staring at the photo of Bai Yu on the Qinghe University graduation certificate.
"Well, Captain Chu, if there is anything you don't understand, you can always come to me."
Yuan Xue sighed. She wanted to say something else, but she felt that this was a love issue between the two of them and it would not be good for others to interfere. She simply left and gave her captain some quiet space to think.
"I remembered that I should go take Xiao Mi with Su Zi today. If there's nothing else, I'll take the cat and go first."
Yanran picked up Xiao Mi, picked up various tools for walking the cat, and followed Yuan Xue away.
Lin Mo moved his lips, but before he could utter a single word, Chu Yunrou forcibly took him away with the excuse that "the third team needs the pollutant 'palace', you and I will deliver the pollutant together."
Chu Zehuai was the only one left in the first team's office.
He just sat quietly in his seat, maintaining the same posture, from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening.
The sun sets in his eyes and the moon rises in his eyes.
It's late at night.
After such a long time, Chu Zehuai didn't know what he was thinking.
It seems like I have thought a lot, but it also seems like I have thought of nothing.
The bright moonlight shines through the window and pours onto the empty table opposite.
Although he should be thinking about his current emotional crisis, he couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met.
The person smiling beautifully under the moonlight, the phoenix eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, the intertwined breaths in the middle of the night, the fresh plant fragrance passing by, and the pair of slender white hands holding candies.
Chu Zehuai suddenly wondered, in the past five hundred days, had Bai Yu finished eating the drawer of candies he gave her?
