Do I have to ask this question at this time?

Xia Zhi glanced at her lower body in embarrassment. The thin bath towel had become heavier after absorbing the water, and it seemed shaky hanging on her body, as if it would fall off at any time.

Or is this also an application of psychology? Asking in an unavoidable environment is more likely to get a sincere answer…

Xia Zhi felt that the girl might not be very clear about this knowledge?

On the other side, seeing the embarrassment on his face, as if he had misunderstood something, Rokuko’s expression darkened and he asked softly

“…Isn’t it?”

“No.”

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and saw her reaction. He didn’t bother to chase her out. He reached out and rubbed her hair to comfort her:

“I like Liu’er very much.”

After receiving his affirmative answer, Rokuko became happy again.

“Yeah, I knew that the master likes Liu’er.”

A bright smile appeared on her face. She hugged Xia Zhi’s arm and continued with a blush on her cheeks:

“You traveled thousands of miles and went through so much trouble to come to this abandoned time and space to save me who was trapped here… You are willing to do this for me because Liu’er is special, right?”

Xia Zhi has already explained to the girl about saving her.

Although there is nothing wrong, why does it feel like something is not right with her?

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking this, he felt the girl loosen her grip on him slightly.

Then the next moment

“Click…”

With a slight sound as if something was opened, the key-shaped tin staff in the girl’s hand turned into light and disappeared.

There was a hole in her chest.

Suspended inside is a crystal clear stone.

“Xiazhi needs this spiritual crystal, right?”

Rokuko’s face was slightly flushed as she looked at him and asked

“Want to touch it?”

As she spoke, she took Xia Zhi’s hand and gently placed it on the spiritual crystal that was emitting charming light.

The moment she touched the crystal, she felt a hard touch on her hand. The surface of the crystal seemed to emit a hint of warmth. She didn’t know if it was the heat emitted by the spirit crystal when it was working, or the residual temperature of the girl’s body.

Unlike the original situation of Qi Sin, she basically opened a hole in her body and exposed her spiritual crystal.

If the “Sealing Master”‘s ability wasn’t magical enough, it would probably have become a scene of curiosity right now, Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

…Anyway, this way of display is a bit too hardcore.

Just as he was thinking this, the spirit crystal in the girl’s body seemed to resonate with the spiritual power in his body, and it trembled slightly, as if something was transmitted to it along with the connected spiritual power.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

On the other side, an inexplicable blush appeared on Rokuko’s face.

Although there was no sense of self in the spirit crystal, she felt as if the boy had really touched her heart.

“Have you felt Liu’er’s true heart?”

She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Xia Zhi’s face, and continued with a gentle look:

“According to the original agreement…after today, as long as you promise not to meet with those other women again, Liu’er will give you this spiritual crystal.”

I think there was no such clause in the original agreement?

In order to collect spirit crystals, in addition to achieving sufficient trust and favorability, the elves themselves also need to have the corresponding desire to give… In other words, if Rokuko is unwilling, she can indeed refuse to give the spirit crystals to Xia Zhi.

But if this is the case…

“It doesn’t matter even if we can’t be saved in the end?” Xia Zhi came back to his senses and asked with his head slightly tilted.

“If the master is not here, that kind of rescue is not what I want.” Rokuko shook his head and said firmly.

Even if I don’t agree, it doesn’t mean that I won’t be by your side, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, knowing that the girl was already going to extremes. He sighed slightly, shook his head, and pulled his hand back: “… Sorry, I still can’t agree.”

“…”

Liu Ku’s eyes dimmed: “Sure enough, although she is special, but for you, Liu Er is not the only one.”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, cancelled the ability of “Sealing Master”, and stood up again: “… Got it, Liu’er won’t make things difficult for you, sir.”

“Just let Liu’er…eh?”

Just when she made up her mind and was about to leave, the boy grabbed her wrist.

Rokuko turned around and blinked in surprise.

Xia Zhi naturally knew how she felt at the moment, and could also imagine what she was going to do after leaving.

Therefore, we can’t just let her go like this.

He thought to himself, pulled Rokuko back into his arms, then lowered his head and gently lifted the girl’s chin.

“…!?”

Feeling the softness on her lips, Rokuko opened her eyes wide, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, showing her inner turmoil.

“Can you feel it now?”

After a long time, Xia Zhi looked at the blonde girl in his arms and said, “To me, you, Rokuko, are also different from others. You are special and unique.”

“…”

Rokuko didn’t say anything, but slowly closed his eyes with a slightly red face, but he no longer had any intention of leaving.

Just stay a little longer…

She thought to herself

…….

Chapter 1,173: Is it finally Xia Zhi’s turn to attack someone else at night?

In the room late at night, moonlight and starlight shine through the windowsill, dimly illuminating the small room.

so beautiful……

Lying quietly in the boy’s arms, looking at the stars dotting the night sky outside the window and the moon emitting bright light, Rokuko’s eyes seemed to reflect the starlight, flashing an inexplicable light.

Although we know that all this is fake, and it is a man-made starry sky, it is just like the night view of the city composed of gorgeous artificial lights. Even if it is “fake”, it is enough as long as it is beautiful enough.

Moreover, the warmth that was embracing him at this moment was not fake, Rokuko thought.

Everything she experienced today, the scenery, the breeze, the sunshine, the taste of the dishes, were not fake… All of this, which she had not felt for a long time, made her feel extremely happy.

We have to thank the summer solstice for being able to experience all of this.

If he hadn’t “opened” my heart, perhaps I would never have been able to experience how happy it would be to date someone I love.

“…”

Feeling the warmth coming from the body pressed against him, Rokuko slowly closed his eyes.

Logically speaking, lying in such a warm embrace, one should be able to fall asleep quickly.

But the girl couldn’t sleep.

She recalled the words the boy said to her in the bathroom at night.

He said that he liked himself.

Whenever she thought of this, her heart was filled with joy and happiness.

Loving others and being loved by others is such a wonderful and joyful thing.

At this moment, the girl was so happy that she just wanted to roll around on the bed, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do that now.

After all, doing so would disturb the boy who was sleeping next to him.

So, be patient for a while, Rokuko.

She said to herself silently.

For the sake of the officials…

And, this hard-earned happiness

Liu Ku took a deep breath, reluctantly left Xia Zhi’s arms, lowered his head and looked at the boy with his eyes slightly closed, pursed his lips slightly

…I, too, need to do something.

……

Everyone starts to become sensible at different times, but for the girl, she has been alone since she was able to remember.

It wasn’t a philosophical question like “not being understood by others”. She was too young to understand these things at the time. It was just a literal meaning that there was no one around her who could be called a family member.

What was she feeling at that time… The girl couldn’t describe it clearly in words, nor did she remember it clearly.

What is certain is that it is definitely not a comfortable feeling, but it is also different from simple sadness or loneliness. After all, it is the feeling that comes from losing the family you already have.

Because I know the warmth of my family, I feel lonely and sad when I lose them. But I have been alone from the beginning and I don’t even have the qualifications to define this feeling.

This is a matter of course.

In the girl’s eyes, children with families are “special”, and because she herself is not “special”, there is nothing she can do about it.

…This feeling did not change until I met my “family” for the first time.

“From today on, we are a family (this is your home)”

Two overlapping voices, speaking the same words.

From that day on, the girl had her own family

Warm liquid flowed down the corners of my eyes, and by the time I realized it, I was already in tears.

At that moment, it seemed as if a bright color was spreading in the girl’s heart in the black and white world.

Family is special.

People who love themselves are special.

Someone you can love is also special.

She doesn’t know what love is, nor does she know how to love someone… After all, in the origin of her memory, there is no such thing as “love”, just like “family”.

She only knew that she couldn’t lose it all again… whether it was her “family” or her own “happiness”…

So… you have to hold it in your hands…

……

“…”

Xia Zhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the empty ceiling, still thinking about the dream he had just had.

The moment he touched the Six Soul Crystal, it seemed that due to the mutual connection and resonance of spiritual power, he saw some memories from the girl that were locked in the deepest part of her heart.

From this perspective, there was nothing wrong with her saying that she had touched her true heart, right?

It should be said that Rokuko’s memories are somewhat similar to my own experiences, which caused me to dream about some things in the past that I hadn’t dreamed about for a long time.

However, these are not the focus now.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, turned his head and looked at his side, and all he saw was an empty bed…

……

In the quiet and dim room, only the sound of slight breathing echoed.

The petite girl curled up on the bed. The bright moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the bed, casting a faint, hazy glow on the sleeping figure.

The next moment, a black “door” appeared out of nowhere in the room, breaking the silence.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful and shining golden girl like a star floated out and landed lightly. Her white and tender feet landed lightly on the floor of the girl’s bedroom without making any sound.
