Blade and Swift

Rosen took them to an apartment. It was a very beautiful building, but if you had to describe it, it was definitely not a real thing. It was hard to tell what style it was, but it looked retro and romantic.

The vegetation around the building is rich, with many flowers and plants planted, the light is good, and the view is good.

Yan Xichen knew that the person Rosen brought them to meet was Rose.

The room has a fresh and elegant color scheme. From the desk to the TV cabinet to other furniture, they are basically made of wood. There is really no way to replace them with wooden appliances, so Rosen wrapped the metal parts with fluffy cloth.

There are no metal knives and forks, and even the dining plates have become plastic.

Everything that is gentle and harmless makes this space full of security, and the rose that is making fruit salad in the kitchen is a beautiful scenery in this space.

She was wearing a comfortable silk long dress, no makeup, and her face was very elegant, she was not at all the charming and coquettish woman in Yan Xichen's previous impression.Her hair is loosely pulled back with a white rabbit rubber band.

Yan Xichen suddenly understood that when Luo Sen said that when he met her, she felt like any girl next door.

"Here we come." Rose wiped her hands, and welcomed the two to sit down on the sofa. She was no longer as frightening as before.

Duan Mingyi was a little out of sorts when he saw such a rose, Yan Xichen told him what happened in a few words.

Duan Mingyi's reaction was almost startled and angry.

Not to mention that Duan Yun's death had already caused great harm to Duan Mingyi, and he, like Yan Xichen, only knew that Fang Shuo was Cain, the legendary ruler of this world, so his mentality was in a shambles. Now that Duan Mingyi had to accept immediately that Fang Shuo was not only Cain, but also a real villain, he couldn't accept the reality.

Rose sat on the sofa, watching the two young men in front of her talk to each other in disbelief, watching the show while eating a lot of oranges that Rosen next to her peeled for her.

When the oranges were almost eaten, Rose took out a piece of paper and wiped her hands.

"Okay, I know all about the Basilica. I know there's something going on and everybody's having a hard time. We've got to have someone in charge now that Boss isn't here. Rosen doesn't know much about it. I'm in this situation again, and the two of you are even worse, so I think it's best for the four of us to get together now."

Both Yan Xichen and Duan Mingyi looked at her in confusion.

Rose laughed.

"When I was cursed by Cain, in the first few days, I really felt like I was going to die. Even in my dreams, I couldn't escape the fear. I was afraid of all reflective objects, as well as sharp lines and corners. Speaking of knives and forks, even eating was a problem for a while. What makes me most desperate is that I will be useless from now on, because of this, I have thought of committing suicide several times. At the beginning, I also collapsed, but I know that collapse It’s useless, we must break through this predicament.”

When Rose said this, her eyes became soft and warm, and even the mole on the tip of her eyebrow became gentle.

She looked at the two of them.

"So don't make too much noise between you two. We are not dead yet, and neither are you. That's good. We haven't been cornered yet."

Yan Xichen picked up the doll on the sofa and played with it in his hand.He still looked sick, but in the end he was much better than before.

Rose clapped her hands: "Children, can you stop being so mournful? There is no way out for such mourning except mold and rot."

Yan Xichen knew that Rose was right, not to mention that the predicament she was facing was harder than all of them.They only need to overcome their own inner obstacles, but apart from this, Rose also needs to overcome the pressure Cain put on her.

Luo Sen blamed him, blamed him for letting Fang Shuo go that day, Yan Xichen could feel it.Otherwise, Rosen would not have said those words to him at the entrance of the theater.

There are many things he can do now, he should go to Cain to ask and solve the problem, he should discuss with the watchman, he should pull Duan Mingyi out of the quagmire, he should try to find Du Yachen.But all his actual actions were to lock himself in a dark room, fermenting his pain silently.

This is not the way to eliminate pain.

Yan Xichen put down the doll in his hand, and Duan Mingyi beside him stood up before him: "What do you need me to do?"

"Tell me what you plan to do first?" Rose looked up at him, and after a long time without getting an answer, she smiled, "After thinking about it, make a decision, at least start thinking about this question."

She turned to Yan Xichen again: "What about you?"

Yan Xichen was silent longer than Duan Mingyi: "I want to see him. Just now you said, what do you mean he is not here now?"

Rosen and Rosen looked at each other, and they quickly understood who Yan Xichen was asking.

"The boss went out a week ago. He often solves certain problems by himself for a while, and neither Rosen nor I can find him."

Yan Xichen asked again if he knew when Du Yachen would come back.

Rosen and Rose spread their hands, saying that there is really no way.

Then they said something about the Basilica.

Because Rose was not at the scene at the time, Luo Sen could only tell her the details, and Duan Mingyi and Yan Xichen added one after another.

When Duan Mingyi heard him talk about his relationship with Fang Shuo in the end, he finally couldn't hold back.He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, very anxious, and his eyes were red again as he walked.

"You know that this is the decision of all the watchmen, not only your own interests." He looked at Yan Xichen viciously, and accused him, "Grandpa's death has nothing to do with you, but you did make his sacrifice change." worthless!"

Yan Xichen didn't speak, but tightened his fists on his legs.

Duan Mingyi became a little excited, he made Rose a little scared, Luo Sen asked him to sit down several times, but Duan Mingyi ignored him: "I don't care what your relationship with Fang Shuo used to be, and what happened between you and the boss. You You have a certain responsibility, you must at least get Du Yachen back."

"It's not just relying on him to live." Yan Xichen was agitated in his heart, and after hearing Duan Mingyi's words, an evil fire was ignited for some reason, and he said flatly, "Also, Grandpa died because of protecting you."

Duan Mingyi's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what Yan Xichen said just now.Seeing that he was about to use force when he clenched his fists, Rosen stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

"Are you two finished?" Rosen whispered, "You don't know the current situation of Rose, and you want to get out."

Rose really looked scared, and Rosen tried to calm the two of them down, but neither Yan Xichen nor Duan Mingyi seemed in a very good mood, and today's meeting would come to an end.

Duan Mingyi left first, Luo Sen didn't leave any food, Yan Xichen followed behind, but Rosen left him behind.

"Can you give us some alone time?" Rose asked Rosen.

Rosen frowned, looking reluctant, but after Rosen's repeated pleas, he closed the bedroom door for Rosen: "I'm in the living room, call me if you need anything."

The light in the room began to dim, and Rose turned on both the night light and the marshmallow-shaped lamp.

Yan Xichen knew that since she was cursed by Cain, Rose was very afraid of the dark.

Thinking of this, guilt kept welling up in his heart.

"sorry."

"Don't talk about that." Rose led him to sit on the bay window of the room, "I've heard a lot about you, all from the boss. I don't know what kind of knot you have with him, But he was kind to you, and Rosen and I have always noticed it. At that time, he told you that he was waiting for someone, and he was telling the truth."

"How do you know he said that to me?"

Rose coughed a little guiltyly: "Don't pay attention to these details."

Yan Xichen looked at her inscrutably, and after a short look, he quickly lost his battle and lowered his head depressedly.

He knew that regarding Du Yachen, this time might not be as simple as he thought, and this time it might be serious.

At the beginning when Rose talked about Du Yachen's past, he felt very uncomfortable, as if someone had stuck a needle on him, and he wanted to stop several times.But as Rose spoke more and more specifically, Yan Xichen also listened more and more attentively.

Neither Rose nor Rosen knew when Du Yachen came to the other world, but since they met him, they knew that Du Yachen was looking for someone.They have been in the other world for five years, so it is hard to imagine how long a cynical person like Du Yachen has been waiting for that person here.

Later they found out that it was a very beautiful man, but Rose said she was disappointed because this man had forgotten everything about the boss.

They are always by his side, knowing how much Du Yachen has paid for this man.

Although Du Yachen seems to be indifferent to everything on weekdays, in fact, he will always do more than talk.

When Rose said this, Yan Xichen's eyes turned red.Du Yachen once told him that he would take care of him, but now that he thinks about it, that may already be some kind of promise.

"He's already gone." Yan Xichen squeezed his fingers tightly, controlling his expression so that he would not look so vulnerable in front of this girl, "He has given up on me."

Rose glanced at him lightly, as if she hated him for being emotionally useless: "He never wanted you, little swallow. A person who has been looking for you for so many years, a person whom you have completely forgotten Jing, but he is still a fool who firmly believes that you will think of him, how can he give up on you just because of a blow?"

Seeing that Yan Xichen was silent, Rose said, "I think he will be sad to you, but he won't give up."

Yan Xichen raised his head, and unconsciously grabbed the woolen blanket under him.

This man who has been trained under the blade of bullets and bullets treats his emotions honestly like a little boy, Rose thought.

She suddenly understood why the boss was fascinated by Yan Xichen.

"But what if... I really hurt him?" Yan Xichen felt very guilty, after all, others would never be able to measure the heart of the injured.

Rose was a little angry and said that I don't know, and she was a little curious at the same time: "So what did you do to him?"

Yan Xichen hesitated: "At the Basilica Theater, he asked me to choose, and I chose Cain."

Rose froze.

Yan Xichen immediately became restless and flustered because of Rose's reaction.

"No, no." She waved her hand, and suddenly changed her posture, becoming very serious and formal, "First of all, little Yanzi, you believe me, based on what we have learned about the boss over the past few years, he is by no means the kind Subject is the kind of person who makes the choice of 'who will you save if your mother or I fall into the water'. Unless there are two situations-"

He nervously asked what it was.

"Something really intensified him, so that he had to let you make a choice at that time, so that he could know what he should do next. Believe me, the boss is actually a very rational person, and he only panicked when he met you. "

Yan Xichen's nose was a little sour.

"Second, this is related to another conjecture between me and Rosen..."

Rose suddenly looked at Yan Xichen very seriously, her eyes were more serious than ever, changing from soft to sharp.

When Rose looked at him like this, Yan Xichen had an illusion that the one sitting in front of him now seemed to be the Rose who jumped from a high place back then, she was neither soft nor fragile, she was sharp and strong.

Cain would not make her weak, not any curse, she had always had a wall of resistance in her heart.

"Listen, little swallow, although the boss is nice to us, but we suspect that there are some things he has never told us. I don't know what happened between you and Cain, but if there is a so-called truth one day, I would rather It came out of your mouth. I will not force you because I am on the side of the boss, but I will not force you. Someone will force you. At that time, people from both sides of the world will guess what I am going to say next. This conjecture."

Hearing Rose's words, Yan Xichen was at a loss.

"What guess? What did he not tell you?"

"Let me tell you first, these are just my guesses and Rosen's. If you guess wrong, you can't report to the boss that we suspect him."

Yan Xichen laughed, "You're not talking bad about him behind his back."

What's more, he doesn't have the opportunity to make a small report now, Yan Xichen thought dejectedly and disappointedly.

Rose grabbed his hand and freed him from the wool blanket: "I'm not kidding."

"I know."

"We suspect that Cain's power is limited in the space of the other world. He is not as powerful as we think. If he is really as strong as a god, he will not be helpless against the Basilica Theater, let alone Did not stop others from blowing up his bones. I was surprised before that the boss was against Cain, and I absolutely believe that the boss is a strong opponent, but Cain has not been able to do anything to the boss for all these years... If he will The power of a person can really destroy a person in an instant, so why is the boss still alive and well?"

Yan Xichen caught a certain vague feeling: "You mean, your boss is stronger than expected, and Fang Shuo is not stronger than imagined?"

"Cain didn't kill the boss, not because he didn't want to, maybe because he didn't have the ability to kill the boss. I have always been surprised that a rational person like the boss will often do a lot of irrational things when facing your problems. s Choice."

"It makes me sad to hear you talk like that,"

Rose was stunned by Yan Xichen's frankness, and then touched his shoulder tentatively: "Uh, no, I mean, maybe some of the choices the boss made were not because of his sensibility, but because of the reason behind him. There is her reason. The reason why I have other guesses is because I think the hub between you and this space may be more complicated than imagined. You think about it for yourself, why is the crow entangled with you, and the boss wants you to personally Bringing it back from the watch world——at the time when the boss hadn’t fully remembered everything. Have you ever thought about what this all means?”

Yan Xichen looked a little stunned: "What does this mean?"

Rose looked at him with hatred: "I think there is more content, you have to find the boss, and you can only find out if you find the boss. He is like that, he looks smiling, and he can talk to anyone. In a word, in fact, I have never been willing to share my feelings and thoughts with others. You are unique, little Yanzi, if even you give up to understand him, isn’t the boss too pitiful? He is in this You are truly alone in the world.”

"I never thought of leaving him alone, and I tried to open his defenses, but it was difficult even for me." Yan Xichen closed his eyes and shook his head, his calm sadness appeared again On his face, "Now he doesn't want to see me, no, he doesn't want to see anyone. You see. Even you and Rosen have been by his side for so long, and you can't do anything, right?"

Rose stood up at once, and said condescendingly: "Where is Rosen and I in his heart, and what is your place in his heart? You compare us to you, little swallow, are you out of your mind? Even if the boss hides and doesn't want to see you He also hopes that the person who can go to him is you instead of me."

"I know, I know." Yan Xichen was a little anxious and tapped his brows with his knuckles.

Rose's tone softened: "After all, he has been looking for you for so many years, how about you looking for him this time?"

Yan Xichen was out of his mind before coming to see Rose, and he was out of his mind when he left Rose.

Rose's words were still in my ears, especially the last sentence, as if Yan Xichen had been reminded suddenly.

Whether it's the outside world, the watchman or the power of will, he put all of these behind him for a while, and only wanted to find Du Yachen and make him safe.

Those Fang Shuo's guilt tormented him day and night, and the pain that made his conscience uneasy, could not cover up his worry about Du Yachen.

Yan Xichen remembered Mei Mei's words, Du Yachen had been looking for him for so many years... He also remembered the extinguished fire in those eyes, the look he had sworn never to appear on Du Yachen's face again.

But he extinguished the fire anyway, again.

Boss will show up tomorrow, Ms. Rose is very strong
