[Exorcism] Parallel Trap

The grass in the afternoon is slightly warmed by the sun, and it is very comfortable to lie on.

Tiqi rested his head on his arms and looked at the back of the boy sitting beside him. For some reason, Allen seemed to be silent from time to time these days.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

The young man shook his head lightly and said.

"It's nothing, just in a daze."

He really didn't lie, the severe pain on the back of his hand broke out again, and the pain made him completely unable to think about anything else.

"Speaking of which, Tiqi, you have been on vacation for so many days. Is it okay to work?" Talking about the well-known "work content" in such an ordinary tone feels a bit subtle.

In recent days, Tiqi often went out and refused to let himself follow, but Rhodes seemed to be in a good mood every time he came back with him.It doesn't look like a mission, and I don't know where it went.

"Ah, it doesn't matter, there are others." Tiqi replied easily, "And it didn't take long."

This is true. For Tiqi, there are two types of "work": white and black.Compared with the so-called real work, those jobs that were disguised and mixed up on the construction site accounted for almost the same proportion of the timetable.So to some extent, even Tiqi can be regarded as a "workaholic".

"The stitches will be removed in a few days." Allen has been by Tiqi's side and knows the progress of recovery best, so he didn't use questions.

"Yeah." Tiqi replied with a single tone.

The clouds in the sky slowly wandered over, and when they passed by the sun, they also lost some of their brilliance.

"Christmas is coming soon." Tiqi said suddenly.

"Ah."

Christmas... what?

"Just leave after Christmas, okay?" he asked.

The boy turned his head and looked at him.

"Although I may be almost fine before that, let's spend Christmas Eve with me." Allen never mentioned the matter of leaving, but he didn't bring a watch, he didn't think about it, and Tiqi simply said Helped him out.

"it is good."

Is there still time to spend a "Christmas" night?

"If possible, I really hope that we can spend Christmas and Christmas Eve together in the future." The man stretched out his hand and held his. The warmth seemed to be holding back something, but the strength was extremely light.

"But you also know it's an 'if'." The boy turned around and held him back. "We all have things to do, don't we?"

You're only "safer" when I'm not by your side, fool.

"In this way, I hope Christmas will never come." Tiqi half-jokingly said.

At this moment, this may be the common wish of the two.

"Tiqi, how much do you know about holiness?" Allen asked suddenly.

"I don't think I know more than you." Most of the information comes from Sman, but the most important functional part has not been asked, so it is not very deep to say that I know, "I know you have it, If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to force it. I won’t ask.”

"Then... do you know 'heart'?"

"What?" Tiqi asked as if he didn't hear clearly, "What is that?"

"It's nothing, it's probably something related to holiness." Allen shook his head and looked away, "I don't know too well, maybe it's just a rumor."

"Why do you remember to ask me this? I thought you knew the most about what the religious group came up with."

"No," Allen turned his head away, looked at the birds flying in the sky and sighed, "I'm getting more and more unclear about the religious order."

Noah's Christmas Eve has always been spent by the whole organization.There will be a big party that day, and it will last the whole day. Everyone will have fun together, and there will be various sideshows prepared spontaneously.This kind of celebration is not mandatory, but everyone will basically go, but this year, there is a backbone who will be absent.

"Quick, throw Rhodes next! Don't let her run away!" Gastro loudly reminded Debit, who was ready to go, and did not stop preparing the "weapon".

"Ha, this year Tiqi is not here, no one can beat me in the cake battle!" Rhodes jumped over the long table nimbly, pulled the tablecloth and opened the umbrella, and the stacks of pastries that rose into the air were slapped It bounced towards the attacker, and the cakes that flew towards them just hit the pumpkin umbrella.

"This is a foul! A foul!" Debit yelled unconvinced, "If you have the guts, fight us head-on!"

"If you can't hit it, you can't hit it, what excuses are you looking for, just give me a trick—"

"Wow, Rhodes, you actually threw the fork together!"

"And the knife—"

"Hey at least bring cake?!"

"It's still too weak, you guys," Rhodes smirked, and he didn't hesitate at all. He swished and threw several discs in a row. "If it were Tiqi, he would have grabbed them all."

And the clothes are spotless, and the shoes are not dirty.

"Speaking of which, where did Tiqi go to play again?" Debit started to fight back, grabbed a fork and threw it out, "I don't come when it's so high."

"He," he opened the pumpkin umbrella again, blocking the forks one by one firmly, "he's also high."

Rhodes behind the umbrella twitched his mouth and smiled meaningfully.

"Gifts?" Allen turned his head and paused while hanging up the Christmas decorations, "But I'm not prepared..."

"No, no, as long as you accept the gift, it's considered a gift to me." Tiqi waved his hand indifferently, "Come here, sit here, and close your eyes."

"Oh." Allen complied.

"Okay." Tiqi's voice came again soon.

When Allen opened his eyes, there was a cake on the table.

The shape of the whole cake is a face, and you can vaguely see the charm of Alian, which is very delicate.

But the blessing written on the cheek with red jam is not "MerryChristmas", but——

HappybirthDay!

Allen was stunned, and looked at the man opposite with his eyes wide open.He wasn't sure if he had told Tiki about his birthday, or if he had said it but forgot.

"How is it?" Tiqi rested his chin on one hand and pointed to the cake with his eyes, "Do you like it? This gift."

The boy's reaction was not as straightforward as he had imagined, and he couldn't see much joy or emotion. On the contrary, he was very quiet, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Could it be that I don't like it?

"Is this a birthday present... or a Christmas present?" Allen asked, looking at the cake and then at him.

Tiqi thought about it seriously, and then said.

"It counts."

"Just make two copies and make one. It's too cunning." Allen complained pretending to be dissatisfied, and then changed his voice, "But I like it."

The boy's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, which made someone who was like a primary school student waiting for his test results finally heave a sigh of relief.

"I don't know what it tastes like." Allen stared at the cake curiously and licked his lips. "It looks delicious."

"I don't need to talk about my craftsmanship," Tiqi patted his chest proudly, "It must be impeccable."

"You did it?" Allen was taken aback again.

"Of course." Tiqi said with an expression of questioning, "Otherwise, do you think anyone else can draw such a lifelike you?"

"It's so lifelike." A certain duplicity.

"Where is it not lifelike?" Tiqi asked back, "Look at these eyes, this mouth, and the color of this hair, how do you not look like you?"

The hair is only the same color.Alian slandered, but didn't say anything, just laughed.

"I didn't even know you would do this."

"There are still many things you don't know." As for how many ingredients were wasted and how many times Rhodes made fun of him when he went to the bakery as an apprentice these days, he wouldn't tell even if he was beaten to death.

"Okay, let's try it."

"Wait, there seems to be no candles." Allen put down the cake box he had rummaged through, and turned his head to look out the window, "But lighting candles doesn't seem to have much effect now."

It was evening now, and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet. Even if the lights were turned off, the room wouldn't be too dark.

"It's okay." Tiqi also looked out the window, then seemed to think of something, stood up and sat down, "I have a solution."

"How to say?" Allen looked at the person hugging him.

"You blow it first," Tiqi pointed at the cake pretending to be mysterious, "the candle will go out naturally."

"Where is there a candle, is it invisible?" Allen was confused.

"Just blow it."

Well, let's see how this candle goes out.Allen took a breath suspiciously, and then blew lightly on the bare cake.

In the next second, the field of vision suddenly darkened.

It wasn't that the candles were extinguished, nor was it dark, it was just that a pair of big warm hands suddenly covered their eyes.

"Look," the gentle voice touched the ears with steam from exhalation, warm, "Come out."

Well, such a candle...

Not bad at all.

The boy pursed his lips and was about to raise his hand when the man's voice sounded again.

"do not move."

The head was brought to the side a little bit, the hand over the left eye was slowly moved away, and a soft kiss was printed on the scar on the left eye from between the half-open fingers.

"Happy birthday." He whispered, "My Allen."
