Yunyun was chatting with people in the chat group, while Qiuyue was looking at her new room.

The room was very empty, with only a wooden bed, a wardrobe, a table and a chair. Qiuyue originally thought it was okay, since she had even lived in the cat's bed before. But Hei Xia Zi said no, he didn't even want to read a book, and dragged Zhang Qiling out to buy furniture and daily necessities for her. Qiuyue didn't stop them, but took the whitening talisman to clean the room where there was still some dust.

With just a talisman, the room was clean in the blink of an eye. Although it was still empty, the air was at least not particularly stuffy. Qiuyue moved a small stool to sit in the yard, looking at the weed-covered yard. Her eyes gradually became vacant and she became dazed.

It's easy to start to have wild thoughts when you're alone, and Qiuyue was no exception. She couldn't help but recall her absurd behavior last night, and how she had just appeared in front of Zhang Qiling in dishevel and awful condition. She hugged her knees and buried them in her lap.

Qiuyue knew that it was not Qi Tiezui and Wu Laogou's fault, and she did not blame them, so she was not angry with them. What made her sad was that she ran into Zhang Qiling and was seen by him in such a horrible state.

If she had met someone other than Zhang Qiling, she wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable.

That was the god in her mind. How would he look at her when he saw her like that?

Although Qiuyue came from the modern era and knew that love between men and women did not need to be taken so seriously, Zhang Qiling was different. He was special in Qiuyue's heart. He was her favorite idol and god. When her god knew about her, her mentality completely collapsed.

Qiuyue hugged her knees tighter, her whole body trembling slightly. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't help but cry, and her skirt was wet with tears.

After all, Qiuyue was actually just a girl in her twenties. She had never encountered such a thing. She had never even been in love, but she was directly eaten up by Qi Tiezui and Wu Laogou. For her, it was like someone had shattered the outer shell that protected her. The soft heart inside was ravaged without any scruples, making her extremely insecure.

The reason why she faced Qi Tiezui and Wu Laogou so calmly in the morning was actually because her brain had not yet recovered from the confusion of love and her senses were a little numb. She only knew to leave when Qi Tiezui and Wu Laogou were not paying attention, and wanted to find a quiet and deserted place to digest these experiences by herself. As a result, she ran directly into Zhang Qiling. Qiuyue, who had lost her defenses after a night of chaos, collapsed all of a sudden. The person she least wanted to see at that time was Zhang Qiling.

Now that Zhang Qiling and Hei Xia Zi were gone, Qiuyue finally had some space to herself. She couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts. The strong sense of uneasiness could no longer be hidden, and it surged out and occupied her mind. Qiuyue could only hug herself tightly, hoping to feel a little safe, but her collapsed mentality made her cry uncontrollably again.

When Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi came back with a few bags of things, they saw the little girl sitting on a small stool, hugging her knees with her face buried in them. Her slender body was trembling slightly, and she could faintly hear sobbing. Zhang Qiling clenched his hands holding the bags slightly, while Hei Xiazi's face darkened. He quickly put the things on the stone table in the yard, then strode over to Qiuyue, squatted down, and put his hands on her shoulders: "Xiaoyue, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

Hearing Hei Xia Zi's voice and the warm hand on her shoulder, Qiu Yue trembled. She hugged herself without looking up, tears streaming down her face. Zhang Qiling, who had also put something on the table, strode over and said, "Don't cry, we're back."

Qiuyue curled up even tighter after hearing Zhang Qiling's voice. Hei Xiazi subconsciously looked up at Zhang Qiling. When he saw that there was a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Qiling's eyes, he was shocked.

However, Hei Xiazi didn't have time to think about why Zhang Qiling was like this. Instead, he reached out and hugged Qiuyue, letting her lean on his arms. He patted her back soothingly and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue'er. If you have any grievances, you can tell the blind man. The mute and I will help you. Don't cry, don't cry."

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips and agreed with what he said: "Yeah."

After hearing these words, Qiuyue couldn't help crying even harder. She tried very hard to stop crying, but she couldn't help it. She wet a large area of ​​Heixiazi's clothes with her tears. Heixiazi was not angry. Instead, he hugged her tighter, and his big hands kept patting her back to soothe her out-of-control emotions.

Zhang Qiling went into the house to pour a glass of warm water. When he came out, Qiuyue was no longer crying as fiercely. She leaned on Hei Xiazi's arms and sobbed. She apologized intermittently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I, I don't want to cry, wu... I'm sorry..."

"Xiaoyueer didn't do anything bad, why should you apologize? No need to apologize, stop crying. Look, I've poured you a glass of water. You must be thirsty from crying, drink some water."

Hei Xiazi gestured to Qiuyue to look at Zhang Qiling who was holding the water. Qiuyue's eyes were red from crying. Zhang Qiling handed her the cup and said softly, "Don't cry, we are here."

Qiuyue took the cup of water obediently, sobbing from time to time, and drank the water with her head down. She knew that she was in a mess and looked ugly, with tears and snot all over her face, but she no longer had the energy to care about this. Zhang Qiling had seen her in all her ugliest looks, so could she be even more out of control than before?

After drinking the water, Qiuyue finally stopped crying. She looked at Heixiazi, whose body was covered with her tears and snot, feeling embarrassed. She remembered that when she was at home, she also cried in Heixiazi's arms like this, and her tears also soaked his clothes.

Qiuyue took out two whitening talismans and cleaned the dirt off his clothes and the stickiness on his face. Hei Xiazi was only slightly surprised to see such a magical scene, but he quickly put it aside and looked at Qiuyue: "Yue'er, did someone bully you while we were away? Tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."

Qiuyue shook her head and didn't want to say anything. Hei Xiazi wanted to ask something, but Zhang Qiling opened his mouth and said, "Blind."

Hei Xiazi paused, then changed his words immediately: "Xiao Yue'er, it's noon, are you hungry? I, the blind man, will go and cook for you right away!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up to get something on the table, then ran into the house quickly. Qiuyue didn't even have time to catch him. When he went in, only Zhang Qiling was left beside him. Qiuyue lowered her head and didn't want to look at him.

Zhang Qiling squatted in front of her and said calmly: "Why don't you let me help you."

Qiuyue shuddered and didn't want to speak. Zhang Qiling sighed slowly.

"Qiuyue."

He called her.

"I want to help you, just like you helped me."

Qiuyue hugged her knees, lowered her head and looked at the ants passing by on the ground. After a long while, she whispered: "It was just an accident. They had no choice. I didn't expect that my treatment could not remove the aphrodisiac."

Zhang Qiling listened quietly, speaking softly, "But you are sad, and you are very uneasy."

Qiuyue was silent, her hands unconsciously tugging at her skirt. Zhang Qiling reached out and grabbed her hand and held it in his. Qiuyue was stunned for a moment. Zhang Qiling's hand was very broad and very hot. He held it tightly, as if he wanted to pass on strength to her, which made her uneasiness dissipate a lot.

She finally raised her head slowly and looked at Zhang Qiling. His eyes were still so peaceful, but when he looked at her, there was visible worry and heartache in them.

Qiuyue slowly opened her red eyes that were filled with tears.

Zhang Qiling, are you feeling sorry for her?

Qiuyue murmured: "Zhang Qiling, you don't think I..."

"will not."

Zhang Qiling knew what she wanted to ask and interrupted her in a firm but calm tone. Qiuyue pursed her red lips and couldn't help but well up in tears.

Did you really not lie to her?

Seeing that her eyes were still full of anxiety, Zhang Qiling looked at her, took her hand and gently pulled it towards him, then took her into his arms, and he sat down on the grass.

Qiuyue was pulled into his arms without her noticing, and knelt on his legs. When her whole body pressed against him, Qiuyue's mind went blank for a moment, but she soon hugged him tightly, buried her head in his shoulder, as if she had found someone to rely on, and clung to him tightly.

Zhang Qiling put one arm around her and gently stroked her back with the other hand, his eyes gentle.

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time before Qiuyue moved her head away from his shoulder and looked up at his face with a dazed look in her eyes.

Zhang Qiling lowered his head and saw her empty eyes. She was clearly looking at him, but it seemed as if she was looking behind him, as if she was looking at someone through him.

He paused, remembering what she said when she left seventeen years ago.

"Although you are not the Zhang Qiling I know, you should also be happy..."

Zhang Qiling's eyes slowly fixed, and he called out in a low voice.

"Qiuyue."

Qiuyue came back to her senses in shock. She actually mistook the Zhang Qiling in front of her for the same Zhang Qiling as before!

She avoided his gaze for a moment and loosened her hands, wanting to get out of his arms, but Zhang Qiling's arms held her tightly, preventing her from leaving.

"Although you are not the Zhang Qiling I know...yes, what do you mean?"

Qiuyue froze for a moment and trembled all over.

No, how could Zhang Qiling know this sentence! She just muttered it when she left!

"Can't I know?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the man who looked somewhat bewildered and flustered, and hugged him tighter with his arms. His voice remained calm, but Qiuyue inexplicably felt danger.

Qiuyue tried to calm down, looking around but not at him, and said, "No, what does this sentence mean? Where did you hear that, little brother?"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, just stared at her. Qiuyue's scalp felt numb and her head drooped lower and lower.

Finally, Qiuyue couldn't bear Zhang Qiling's gaze anymore. She closed her eyes and said with the momentum of someone heading for the execution platform, "Yes! I do know another Zhang Qiling. I knew him before I met you. I also know another Hei Xiazi, as well as the future Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen in the book. I originally wanted to find them, but I went to the wrong world and ended up here, where I met you."

Qiuyue had just finished speaking when the sound of a bowl being smashed came from the room behind her. She was startled and turned around, then she heard Hei Xiazi's voice coming from the room: "Hey, feed my bowl! Break, break, break, break, break, break, hey, how did my hand slip?"

Hearing this, Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Hei Xia Zi didn't hear what she said and that she was just too sensitive.

However, before Qiuyue could relax, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that there was another person in front of her!

She thought Zhang Qiling would be unhappy or angry, but when she turned around, she found that he didn't show any emotion. She couldn't help but cautiously called out: "Brother?"

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes slightly and responded calmly: "Yeah."

He just responded, then raised his hand to press her back and hugged her again, his palm still patting her gently as before.

Qiuyue blinked, a little surprised, but also relieved.

She was misjudging it. How could the young man be unhappy about this? He was Zhang Qiling. How could he be angry or sad about such a thing? He must have just suddenly remembered it and asked out of curiosity.

However, after this question, Qiuyue's mentality had completely calmed down and returned to normal. Her anxiety was also dissipated by Zhang Qiling's comfort. She indulged herself in hugging Zhang Qiling tightly, absorbing the sense of security he brought, and was unconsciously full of dependence.

However, what Qiuyue did not see was that Zhang Qiling's other hand was clenched into a fist, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.

"Qiuyue."

Zhang Qiling suddenly called out, Qiuyue responded, and then heard him say: "I'll go see my mother in a few days."

Qiuyue couldn't help but think of the extremely gentle mother in the original novel, and replied: "Okay."

Hearing Qiuyue's agreement, Zhang Qiling slowly loosened his clenched hands, and at this time, Hei Xiazi's voice came from the room: "Xiaoyue, the meal is ready, come and eat!"

After Hei Xia Zi finished shouting, Zhang Qiling slowly loosened his arms that were tightly holding her. Qiuyue stood up and went into the house with him. Hei Xia Zi placed the rice in front of Qiuyue and said with a smile: "Xiao Yue'er, come and try my cooking skills~"

Qiuyue smiled at Hei Xia Zi, responded, then picked up the bowl and started eating.

When Qiuyue tasted this familiar flavor again, her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She quickly lowered her head, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her tears again. Hei Xiazi looked at her like this, his eyes slowly became dim, but the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

This is, missing that black blind man?

It's really annoying.

He licked his fangs, picked up the stir-fried pork with green peppers and put it in Qiuyue's bowl: "Come on, come on, eat more. I'm a first-class cook and I will definitely feed you well."

Qiuyue obediently ate the food he brought her until he piled her bowl up to a point. Then she finally reacted: "Stop! I can't eat any more!"

Hei Xia Zi withdrew his chopsticks reluctantly. Zhang Qiling glanced at him, then scooped the leftover food from Qiuyue's bowl into his own bowl. Qiuyue was flattered, and Hei Xia Zi's mouth twitched.

After lunch, Qiuyue touched her belly. It had been a long time since she had eaten Hei Xia Zi's food. She missed it so much that she accidentally ate too much.

After dinner, Zhang Qiling went to tidy up Qiuyue's room, putting in place the bed, quilt and other supplies. Qiuyue also helped. After everything was put in place, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Seeing that she was still drowsy, Zhang Qiling silently left the room and gently closed the door.

Turning around, Zhang Qiling saw Hei Xia Zi looking at him with his hands in his pockets.

"Dumb."

Hei Xia Zi shouted, and Zhang Qiling didn't want to pay attention to him. When he was about to walk past him, Hei Xia Zi's words made him stop.

"Is she being bullied?"

Zhang Qiling remained silent, and Hei Xiazi continued to mutter to himself: "I heard her talk about aphrodisiacs."

Zhang Qiling looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"

Hei Xiazi slowly grinned and said, "I want to keep her, Dumb, I don't believe you don't want to."

Zhang Qiling fell silent again. Hei Xiazi raised his hand and hooked it around his shoulder, whispering, "I don't want to be a stand-in, and you don't want to be one either, right? Even if that's us in another world."

Zhang Qiling raised his hand and pulled his hand away, then walked away without saying a word. Hei Xiazi looked at his back and sneered, then took out the sunglasses from his trouser pocket and played with them.

"I finally met the little darling I like, I can't let her run away..."
