New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Xiaoyanzi's topic suddenly shifted to Erkang, which made Ziwei a little stunned.

"What do you mean by saying this?"

Ziwei opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at her. The night was dim and she couldn't see Xiaoyanzi's expression clearly.

Xiaoyanzi lay flat on her back, noticing that he was not looking at her, and said in confusion, "I don't know why. I am only six years old, and Ertai is only nine years old, but I always feel that he is too intimate with me. I also always feel that he is very partial to me and even possessive of me.

Sometimes when I'm alone with him, looking at his face which is becoming more and more like his from his previous life, I can't help but feel like falling in love with him.

But, we are still children now, and I have such thoughts about him. Do you think I am very vulgar? It feels like an adult liking a child. "

Ziwei listened to her words, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I understand what you mean. We are both reborn. Seeing that the people who once liked us are still young, their preference for us makes us happy, but also makes us feel uneasy. We always feel that although we are of similar age on the surface, our souls are actually not compatible.

You think we are taking advantage of the young, or you think we shouldn't do that.

But I want to say that, in the eyes of outsiders, we are now just a little more mature, and essentially we are still just children. We can be more carefree, do what we want, and not think too much.

As for you and me, we are still young, so we don’t need to consider whether those two boys like us. After all, they are nice to us, maybe they just simply think we are fun friends?

No one can predict what will happen in the future. What if, we are childhood sweethearts now, but when we grow up, they fall in love with someone else? Will you try desperately to keep them then?"

Ziwei's words made Xiaoyanzi sober up a little. Yes, they were all children now. Ertai was nice to her because he probably just treated her as a sister. After all, he was so young, how could he understand the relationship between men and women? What did he mean by liking someone? Did he know what liking someone was?

His thoughtfulness towards her now is probably just because he wants to play and study with her. Why should she start to have strange feelings for him just because he gradually resembles Ertai from his previous life?

They are still young now, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi laughed, "You are right, I was just imagining things. Let's not talk about them, Ziwei, I want to hug you, I miss you so much.

At first, without you by my side, I couldn’t sleep well, couldn’t fall asleep at night, and suffered from insomnia every day. ”

If Huo Chengyue, who was far away in Duanmu Mansion in Yunzhou, heard this, he would definitely complain: Xiaoyanzi, you are really good at talking nonsense. When I took you to bed, you almost fell asleep as soon as you touched the bed. How can you have the nerve to say that you can't sleep because of insomnia?

Ziwei raised the corners of her lips slightly after hearing this. She let her hang on her like a koala, and her voice was full of arrogance, "Really?"

Xiaoyanzi rested her head on Ziwei's shoulder, her eyelids gradually began to droop, and she nodded repeatedly, "Hmm..."

Ziwei was about to say something else when she heard Xiaoyanzi snoring softly in her ear.

She smiled helplessly, stretched out her free hand and pulled up the quilt that had slipped off her body. Under the moonlight, the other person's delicate eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she smacked her lips, as if she had had a sweet dream.

"Sweet dreams, little swallow."

Ziwei murmured softly, then slowly closed her eyes. She was held by Xiaoyanzi and gradually fell asleep in the moonlight.

------

In the Grand Secretary's Mansion, Ertai was lying on the bed, with Xiaoyanzi's figure always appearing in his mind. From the first time he met her and saw her petite and lovely appearance, from the time he secretly put the jade pendant that his father and mother said should not be given away easily in her swaddling clothes, the other person's figure seemed to always run around in his mind.

Ertai thought about the girl in his mind. As he thought, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he slowly fell asleep.

He saw her running around laughing, and as she ran, she turned into a twenty-year-old girl.

The girl, however, was seriously injured and lying on a man, blocking swords and knives from all directions for him.

Xiao Ertai wanted to shout for her to get out of the way, and wanted to use his martial arts skills to save her, but she couldn't hear his voice, and he couldn't get through, so he couldn't save the woman.

He watched helplessly as the woman was seriously injured and then fell into a man's arms. There were many people around her and he couldn't see their expressions clearly. He only knew that the woman was going to die and he didn't want her to die.

But there was nothing he could do.

Just like that, the woman died. He didn't know what they said. He only saw the woman's hands hanging down helplessly...

When he thought that it might be Xiaoyanzi, Ertai couldn't help feeling sad. He didn't want anything to happen to Xiaoyanzi.

Just then, a voice came from behind him, "Are you sad? Are you upset?"

Ertai turned around suddenly and saw a tall figure wearing a gray gown. He had a handsome face, but there was a scar at the corner of his eye and some beard on his chin.

The other person's eyebrows and eyes look somewhat similar to his. No, it should be said that he looks like him.

"You, who are you?"

Xiao Ertai frowned and looked at him carefully. He felt that the other person did not seem like a bad person. He gave him a very familiar feeling. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

The other party looked at his childish appearance and sighed softly, "I am you, your future. That person is Xiaoyanzi, you are not mistaken. The future Xiaoyanzi will face a disaster and needs your protection. You need to block it for her, otherwise, she will still die in front of you.

To protect you, I died for you."

The last sentence reveals a strong sadness and regret.

Xiao Ertai was stunned, but still a little confused. What did he mean by that was his future?

In his future, will Xiaoyanzi die? When will the disaster happen? Where will it come from?

Xiao Ertai wanted to ask something else, but the other party waved his hand and gradually disappeared.

"Hey, tell me clearly, what's going on? What's the problem with Xiaoyanzi's calamity? Explain it clearly."

Seeing that the other party was about to disappear, Ertai ran towards him anxiously, trying to catch him, but unfortunately, the other party had completely disappeared.

Ertai woke up suddenly, his forehead covered with cold sweat. The fear of watching Xiaoyanzi die made him feel uneasy.

He stood up, poured a cup of tea, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon outside, and fell into deep thought.

No one knew what he went through that night. All we knew was that after that night, he became even more clingy, like Xiaoyanzi.

----

In the world after Xiaoyanzi's death.

A mature man was lying on the bed in an inn. He had a sturdy build and a scar at the corner of his eye, which diluted the softness on his face. He had a beard on his chin and some bruises under his eyes. He looked quite tired and weathered, but his eyes and eyebrows showed that he once had a handsome face.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

In the middle of the night, he would always dream of the scene where Xiaoyanzi died to save him. Whenever he thought of it, his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

But this time it was different. He dreamed of a young boy who looked like himself when he was a child, and another boy who looked very much like Xiaoyanzi when she was a child. The two had a close relationship, like childhood sweethearts.

Ertai probably guessed that in another world, he and Xiaoyanzi reunited. He didn't know what happened between them, but he didn't want his future to be full of regrets in that world, so he reminded him to protect Xiaoyanzi and not wait until one day he lost her and then regret it.

He even went so far as to allow Hu Zou to experience a "disaster" just so that he could better protect Xiaoyanzi.

He hopes that Xiaoyanzi is well and can grow up healthy and happy. If she can marry his future self in that other world, it would be a blessing.

Thinking of this, Ertai smiled suddenly. This way, he could finally let himself go.

In the years after Xiaoyanzi's death, in order to fulfill her dream of traveling around the world and doing justice, he traveled all the way, saving people from danger and having conflicts with others many times. In one accident, he was scratched in the corner of his eye and almost injured his eye. After that, his heart was as dead as a pool of water, and he no longer took care of himself. He lived like a savage in these years.

Now, knowing that Xiaoyanzi in the other world might be living well, he can finally rest assured and no longer have to feel guilty day and night.

He also wanted to go back and see his old friends, but those two magical girls were no longer in this world, and the bustling Shufangzhai eventually became quiet.

Recalling the good times in the past, Ertai's lips curled up slightly, but when he thought that it would be difficult to meet his old friend again, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Alas, things are no longer the same after all...
