The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"What space? You want to leave me?"

Jiang Liujing took a step back, his heart stung for some reason by Chi's words.

Very lightly, like a bee's sharp needle, it gently pierced a hole in the full heart.

The slight pain brought about an immense confusion that was out of sync with the pain, and an intense panic hidden beneath the confusion.

Jiang Liujing never thought about losing Chi.

Chi must exist - to him, this is much more important than what identity Chi uses to stay by his side.

But is that what Chi thinks?

Jiang Liujing suddenly felt a little uncertain at this moment.

Chi saw the panic in the boy's eyes.

How rare it is, as if a piece of fine porcelain carefully placed on the display stand is about to fall.

Regardless of whether the noble prince saw the knight's love, at least he realized the knight's importance.

In the eyes of some people, this is even enough to boast about and prove one's personal charm.

But Chi just felt sad.

The boy who always stood at the top with full confidence actually showed such an expression because of him.

"No, Miaomiao." Chi suppressed the urge to go forward and hug him tightly, and just carefully put his arms around him. His thick-haired head pressed down little by little, and fell heavily on the shoulders of the boy who was much thinner than him.

The boy's body was clearly not broad or steady at all, but the moment Chi touched it he felt as if he could breathe smoothly.

Just like what Jiang Liujing's existence means to him, he is the air, the water, the sun and the moon that emit light and heat, and everything that Chi depends on for survival.

"I don't want to leave you, and I can't live without you, but if one day you become someone more important than me, I shouldn't..." stop him.

It was too difficult to say this sentence completely, and he overestimated himself. Just when he imagined someone replacing him and standing next to Jiang Liujing, the cruelty and murderous intent in Chi's heart could not help but rise.

If there really was such a person standing before Chi at this moment, Chi was sure that he would not be able to watch with magnanimity. He would definitely attack him madly and duel with him until one of them was defeated and was trampled under the feet of the other.

But now, he was standing in front of Jiang Liujing.

All the strength and brutality suddenly became useless.

He became fragile, like all the incompetent men in the world.

Because he clearly realized that what ultimately determines the outcome between the two is not who is stronger, but Jiang Liujing's love.

In front of Jiang Liujing, it was useless for him to show off his strength and ability to defeat his opponent. He could only display his generosity, showing off everything that Chi was not sure he had, and carefully presenting it to him, trying to attract the young man.

But he seemed to be using the wrong approach.

Jiang Liujing was not attracted and became extremely uneasy.

As if it was a little animal that suddenly knew it was going to be abandoned by its parents, it stared at him with confused and aggrieved eyes.

It seemed that as long as Chi said firmly that he really didn't want him anymore, this precious porcelain would be completely shattered on the ground and could never be put back together again.

Chi squeezed his eyes shut tightly, almost wanting to slap himself again. How could he have forgotten that Miaomiao was most afraid of loneliness?

"Just pretend I didn't say anything." He said regretfully.

He was too impatient today, maybe because the boy had just pulled his hand away, or maybe because they hadn't had any physical contact for so long, or even maybe because the person who died in front of him today said to him, "You and I are a lot like each other."

Chi felt that it was like a bad curse. How were they alike?

Mo Jun’s wife is gone, but his Miaomiao is still fine.

But inevitably, he thought about the question that Mo Jun had left behind.

If something happens to Jiang Liujing one day, what will he do?

There was no real answer to this question, because he and Jiang Liujing had signed a symbiotic contract. If Jiang Liujing died, he would die with him. Whether it was the human world or hell, they would always follow each other.

The question seemed to be answered easily.

But Chi suddenly remembered the memory he had seen.

The naive self in the past seemed to have signed a contract with Jiang Liujing at that time.

His memory was hazy, and he couldn't tell what kind of contract they had signed, but he could guess.

Chi knew that his new life was very short, which meant that he had actually lived for a very long time in his previous life, but Jiang Liujing obviously did not.

When he first met Jiang Liujing, the child was already six years old.

In other words, before Chi died, Jiang Liujing had already died once.

Chi didn't know what his past self was doing.

Why could he let his contractor die alone while he himself survived?

Why didn't he protect him?

Why did Jiang Liujing only come to him when he was six years old in this life?

Chi didn't understand, he couldn't empathize with his past self.

If that self could split out of his soul and stand in front of him, Chi Gaodi would definitely fight with him, and while fighting he would have to scold that self for being a waste who couldn't even protect a person, and that Chi Po's royal dignity was thrown to the ground.

But at this moment, all he could do was to comfort the boy who was frightened by him and take him on the way back to the dormitory.

Jiang Liujing had not yet recovered from the sudden sense of loss, and he did not resist being held by Chi. The idea of ​​avoiding suspicion had long since flown out of his mind, and he let Chi pull him forward mechanically, like a dull puppet.

When he was almost at the dormitory door, he suddenly said to Chi without thinking, "There won't be anyone else."

Chi paused as he was about to push the door open.

He turned his head. The dusk was as vast as the sea, and the fiery red sunlight rolled between the clouds and mountains, giving the outline of the young man a layer of burning gold.

It is extremely beautiful, like a glorious god standing in flames all over the sky.

"I won't... choose anyone else." Jiang Liujing's voice was soft, like the evening breeze that could be blown away at any time, but very firm.

He avoided the burning gaze, feeling like he was going to be burned to ashes in that suddenly bright gaze. An inexplicable sense of shame rose in his heart, burning his cheeks.

Fortunately, the light between heaven and earth was red and bright enough, so the burning blush on his face was not so conspicuous.

Jiang Liujing didn't know what the meaning was of saying these words to Chi as if to express his determination when he hadn't even agreed to his confession yet.

He just felt that Chi couldn't be allowed to say that kind of thing again.

Be it a brother, a lover... whatever, he hopes Chi knows that no matter what his identity is defined as in his eyes, his importance is unique and no one can replace him.

"You are the most important, so don't leave."

"OK?"

Jiang Liujing turned half of his face to the side, with a few strands of black hair covering his snow-white cheeks. He bit his lower lip and carefully tugged at the corner of Chi's clothes.
