Chapter 7:

Chu Qianxun sent the healer away and bought some food at the door of the hotel. The bean dregs boiled into yellow-brown porridge was symbolically mixed with a few green leaves, even if Chu Qianxun could afford it right now. The best food.
Chu Qianxun returned to the room, helped Ye Peitian up, and fed him porridge little by little.
This kind of porridge is bland and tasteless in the mouth, and it is especially difficult to swallow. The rough particles make the throat hurt.
But Ye Peitian didn't seem to have any opinions. He was not as awkward as before. As long as the spoon was handed to his eyes, the thin lips of light color would open in concert.
After Chu Qianxun fed him the vegetable porridge, he held the jar and drank the little bit of Gurulu. He took out a small paper bag from his pocket and put it out on the bedside table. Inside the paper bag was a few rock candy.
She stole one by herself, and picked up another one and stuffed it into Ye Peitian's mouth.
The fingertips touched the cold and soft lips, and when they retracted, the fingertips still had a little bit of humidity.
Chu Qianxun's heart jumped again inexplicably. She took a peek at Ye Peitian, but fortunately, the man sitting in front of her didn't seem to notice much.
He still sat sluggishly and silently, and his thin lips were only slightly pursed, pursing the sweetness in.
Chu Qianxun relaxed his mind, picked up the jar and went out to clean the dishes.
Ye Peitian in the room was lying on the bed, looking at the mottled marks on the ceiling, pursing his lips repeatedly.
It was very sweet there, and he didn't know that there was such a sweetness in the world, which made him almost a little surprised and at a loss.
The window creaked, and the little boy's head came out again.
He probed his head for a long time and saw the small packet of rock candy on the table.
"Ah, is that sugar? Is it sugar?" He made a fuss, and tried to reach in through the railing of the window, trying to catch a candy with the iron clip in his hand, "Quick, give me one."
The little bedside table shook slightly, as if being dragged by something on the ground, moved to a position on its own, and moved to a place that the boy couldn't reach.
"Sneer, stingy." The boy snorted, and retracted the clip in frustration. "So you are still a saint. No wonder someone asks if you break your hand."
"Give me one, I just want one." He swallowed, "I haven't eaten this thing in years. Last time I was caught by Lao San from East Street for such a sweet bite." Chased and hit three streets."
The man lying on the bed did not respond, his eyebrows were covered by messy forehead, he was trapped in the lifeless shadow on the bed, and he said nothing.
The table moved further away, showing what he meant.
The boy was disappointed, but he still refused to leave, his eyes clung to the few unreachable candies, and his tongue licked his lips.
"Is this what she left for you to eat? That woman treats you well, this thing is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it. She doesn't look like much money, just now I saw her sitting outside the door and chewing. What about black cake."
"She bought vegetable porridge and came in for you to eat, but she was chewing on black cakes that were hard to death. Tsk tsk, your little white face is awesome."
At night,
Chu Qianxun called another vegetable porridge. After half a can was fed, Ye Peitian shook his head and said that he would not eat it.
Chu Qianxun didn't doubt that he was there, so he lay down and touched his hot head, "What's wrong? Isn't it very uncomfortable?"
After a long time, she saw the pale lips move lightly, making a low voice.
"Thank you."
This was the first sentence she heard Ye Peitian say.
The voice was different from the one imagined, it was low and dull, as if the two words had come out after repeated consideration.
Chu Qianxun's heart couldn't stop being happy.
After so much effort, she got only two words. If Gao Yan knew about it, she would definitely call her stupid, prodigal, and stick to a man.
But she watched Ye Peitian's serious injury heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and saw that this dilapidated person gradually became human. She couldn't help being happy in her heart.
What's the matter of spending some money to be happy, Chu Qianxun said to himself. I have completely forgotten how carefully I live my days.
She happily drank the rest of the porridge, and watched the sky gradually darken, she took out the night light and turned on the switch.
The faint light of the night light hit Ye Peitian’s side face, and the collision of light and shadow made the angular face weak and pale. Under his eyes, there were thick dark circles caused by lack of sleep, but those eyes were extremely dark. It was slightly open from beginning to end, and the eyes with a little water gleaming occasionally.
Except for the moment he was in a coma, Chu Qianxun had never seen him actually close his eyes.
Ye Peitian's forehead was a little hot, and he was suffering from a low-grade fever. But he seemed to be supporting himself stubbornly, refusing to close his eyes.
Chu Qianxun hesitated, and reached out to touch Ye Peitian's soft hair. She knew that this man was afraid of the root of darkness. Even in another parallel world, his symptoms took a long time to be relieved.
"Sleep for a while, I don't seem to see how you sleep." She said.
Ye Peitian doesn't like to sleep, there are only endless darkness and endless nightmares in his sleep.
On weekdays, he only closed his eyes for a while when he couldn't hold it, and the pain of years of lack of sleep made his temper more irritable and irritable.
Killing is his only way to soothe, he gradually loses patience and no longer shows mercy to anyone who offends him, and the name of human beings and demons has spread far away.
In such a strange environment, around a stranger, it is even more impossible for him to let himself fall asleep.
A soft hand stretched out and gently touched his head,
"There is light here, it will be on all night. I'll be with you, it's okay, you can rest assured to sleep." That voice was talking.
Ye Peitian suddenly remembered a memory fragment from a long time ago.
At that time, he was still very young, with the same fever and chills, lying on the folding bed in the living room at home.
The light in the living room was not turned on and it was very dark. The bright light in the bedroom shone out, casting a rectangular light on the dark floor.
In that bright room, the stepmother was sitting beside her younger brother's bed, touching his head, patiently comforting the younger brother who had the same cold and fever.
The little boy curled up in the dark, looking at the bright and warm bedroom, a strong desire surged in his heart, eager for someone to reach out and touch his head like that to comfort him who was also suffering.
However, it wasn't until the boy became a man, that the humble desire buried deep in his childhood was suddenly realized after the total suffering in the world.
At this moment, a person was sitting on the edge of the bed and extended a warm hand to him.
His eyes closed little by little, his slender eyelashes no longer flickered, his breathing became smooth, and he finally fell into a peaceful sleep.
In a trance, he always seemed to hear a soft voice constantly saying to him,
Go to sleep, sleep at ease, I am here.
In his sleep, he couldn't remember who that person was, but he didn't know why he really settled down and let himself fall into a peaceful sleep.
Ye Peitian slept deeply and deeply, rarely had any dreams, and did not wake up halfway.
In the early morning, he woke up from a deep sleep, his heart pounding, Zhang looked around in panic, a little at a loss not knowing where tonight.
He found himself lying in a narrow and unfamiliar room, sitting alone on the edge of the bed next to him. The man leaned against the wall of the bed, his head drooping and sleeping soundly.
A faintly bright sky light projected in from the window, sprinkled on the person with the morning coolness.
She has a beautiful face, her lips are slightly open, and she sleeps very relaxed.
This is a girl with friends, companions, and living in the sun. She is young and innocent, even unsuspecting people like herself.
She and herself are completely people living in two worlds.
Ye Peitian gently stretched out his hand from the bedding, and he finally had a usable arm. The new skin on that hand was pale and transparent, and the light blue blood vessels could be clearly seen.
He stretched out his hand in front of the sleeping person, paused for a moment, looked at it for a long time, and then slowly curled up his fingers.
When Chu Qianxun woke up, there was no one on the bed beside him.
Reached out and touched, the bed was cold. The man did not know how long he had been away.
The half-used potion and the bag of rock candy on the bedside table were still there, and the only thing that disappeared was the small night light.
She has been too tired these few days and accidentally fell asleep too much. Ye Peitian's level is much higher than his own, as long as he wants to, he can leave without awakening himself.
Chu Qianxun didn't understand how he could put down his guard and fall asleep in front of such a murderous human being.
Fortunately, if you take a pot of blood from him, you will be treated as if you are paying him back. Although his life experience is pitiful, but he is just a weak ordinary person, such a big brother and himself are people of two worlds after all.
Chu Qianxun returned to his residence in a daze.
The days are still the same, as long as there is action, go out with the team to hunt demon.
Able to hack to death those hideous and terrifying monsters, three meals will be settled. You can go back to the messy tube building and eat bland food.
If you fail carelessly, you will never be able to live such a simple life, because you will become a meal for those monsters.
Chu Qianxun had just returned to the door that day, Gao Yan next door opened the door and pulled her into her house.
"Sister Yan, are you all right now?"
Gao Yan in front of Chu Qianxun was almost radiant with vitality.
"Isn't it? I'm almost done, it's amazing. If it wasn't for fear of others' suspicion, I could have gone out and jumped a long time ago." Gao Yan looked around cautiously and closed the door. "There will be a demon hunt in three days. For the action, the city owner personally led the team and joined several mercenary groups to act together. I plan to go, are you going?"
"Go, I must go." Chu Qianxun had already returned the remaining demons to Gao Yan. At this time, she was ashamed of her own pocket. Participating in the hunting of demons was her only way to earn money.
"Monsters are sleepless tier nine, you remember that we should follow the team to deal with low-level monsters on the periphery, and we must not face them directly."
Sleepless is a kind of terrifying opponent that can manipulate many low-level monsters. No matter which base, as long as there are sleepless nearby, the city owner will quickly organize a team to clean up to prevent its strength from expanding all the way, and eventually lead an army of monsters to attack the city.
Such hunting actions are generally relatively rewarding, and Chu Qianxun patted Gao Yan's hand to show that he remembered.
"By the way, don't go back, there is a weirdo today." Gao Yan remembered one thing.
"wack?"
"Listen to me, don't be nervous." Gao Yan swallowed, she was a little nervous. "Today you are not here and it is not convenient for me to go out. I was very bored and hid in the crack of the door and looked out. Suddenly I saw a man. Stand outside your door."
Chu Qianxun was stunned, faintly guessing who it was.
"The man is tall, thin, wearing a mask and a hat, and he is wearing a hooded sweater outside, so that he is called Yan Yan Shishi." Gao Yan gestured to the height, "He is standing next to you. At the door, I have been looking at your door for a long time. He didn't suddenly disappear until the crazy woman downstairs passed by."
"I think his speed is something we can't provoke, Chihiro, do you know who it is?"
Chu Qianxun groaned a little bit, and returned to his room.
The tomato on the window sill is ripe again, and it is red and delightful.
In front of the potted plants, there was a small clean cloth bag.
Chu Qianxun opened the bag, and the green light of the magic seed almost dazzled her eyes.
