17. [The present world] Chapter 16

On the twenty-eighth floor, ordinary people jump down and will surely die.

Hua Mian stood in the center of the rooftop, surrounded by the messy snow that had stepped out of chaos at that moment. Her mind was blank, and her eyes were staring straight at Xuan Ji, who was jumping down with his body, and she was out of her mind.

After a long time, the giant whale in the dream sounded again in his ears—

[...Sitting on the roof of Wuliang Hall at night, and then looking up, you can see the blue Futu Xuan Whale shuttle and chirping through the galaxy and slowly swim by.]

[It's a pity that not everyone can get on the roof of Wuliang Hall.]

【…If you have the chance, I will take you there.】

A gust of cold wind swept up the snow dust. The girl who was stunned was as if she was awakened from a dream. Her pupils slightly converged, and her fingers hanging on both sides of her body bounced like a conditioned reflex...

"Xuan, Xuanji?"

Her voice was very light, like a temptation, calling out the name she had never called before him;

The foot took a step and made a "crunch" sound on the snow;

The eyes were dull and the heart began to be beating wildly. She staggered and rushed towards the edge of the railing where the man jumped down. She bumped into it like a headless fly, shaking off a large piece of snow on the railing-

She lay on the edge of the railing, trying hard to look down, but she saw nothing, only seeing the snow that fell as a whole because of her pounce, split into pieces in the sky...

"Xuanji-Yi Xuanji?!"

Hua Mian shouted that name desperately, and she was at a loss without even realizing that her voice could be so loud. She heard her calling for a man echoing between the empty buildings...

until.

Behind.

A low magnetic sound sounded—

"Miss Huamian, the building is high and dangerous, so don't get close to it, be careful not to make a mistake."

Huamian: "…"

At that moment, even the air was drained.

Hua Mian widened her eyes slightly, turned around stiffly from the railing, and looked at the man standing behind her with a calm face in the next second-

He has healthy limbs and facial features, and there is no scar on his body. The "Wuguijian" that was once placed on her neck and should be suppressed by the police station at this moment was on his back... Brother Wang, who was carrying the costume team in his hand, had fainted. He seemed to have vomited, and his chest was in a mess.

Xuan Ji threw away Brother Wang like he was throwing garbage.

Then I saw the little girl standing by the railing as if she had been exhausted. Her knees softened and she fell to the ground against the railing. Her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes looked a little dull after being shocked.

"You, you're fine." Hua Mian slowly bent her knees and said in a volume that was almost to himself, "That's a high building, you just jumped like this, I thought you..."

Xuan Ji: "I am a martial arts practitioner. At the age of seven, I can climb the cliffs in front of the sea of ​​countless flowers with bare hands..."

Xuan Ji wanted to say that the height of buildings was not a problem, but at this time he heard a slight laughter. He looked at it with a slight moment, and then he realized that the little girl sitting next to the railing was laughing for some reason - she supported her forehead with one hand and her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at others or herself.

After a while, Hua Mian wiped the tears that shed from the corner of her eyes just now because she relaxed after seeing the man safe and sound. She stood up on the railing and looked at him slowly and said, "So what you said is true."

Xuan Ji: "?"

"Your continent of Zhuxia, an infinite sea of ​​flowers, and the Futu Xuan Whale that swam under the starry sky," Hua Mian slowly walked towards Xuanji, stood in front of him, raised her head and looked at him, "What you said is true, you really come from another time and space... For--"

Hua Mian paused: "Looking for the sword of Wugui, come here."

Xuan Ji: "That's right."

Xuan Ji raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why she emphasized these things that had been told to her long ago.

The man didn't know the storm in Hua Mian's heart at this moment - no one could watch someone jump off the 28th floor and appear in front of him and forcefully hypnotize him. This is a dream. It is really a parallel space. It is very difficult to exist in another world, but this does not mean that she can deceive herself and be blind.

Xuan Ji is really not a person from their world.

He came from a place called "Zhuxia Continent". He knew martial arts and raised whales. He had a good status and was a leader.

"..." For so many days, others who thought they were self-righteous, Hua Mianzhen bent down and apologized, "Sorry."

"?" Xuan Ji continued to look puzzled, "It seems that the one who wants to apologize should be the one who promised the girl to not bother you a few days ago, but now he has violated his oath... Although the situation was urgent at the time, it seems that the girl really needs help--"

As he spoke, he saw the person standing in front of him squatting down, holding his knees with one hand and poking Brother Wang who was lying like a corpse on the ground with the other hand: "Is he dead?"

...It seems that he deafened Xuan Ji's series of self-examinations just now.

Xuan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he replied slowly: "Just just now, he just jumped down from the sky with this person who seemed to behave badly and scared him. Who knew that he was so cowardly, and he fainted after a while, foamed at the mouth and twitched his limbs..."

Hua Mian said "Oh", retracted her fingers, stood up again, and pointed to the sword behind Xuan Ji: "Aren't you detained at the police station?"

"The Wugui Sword is summoned by the master, and you can also get a sword from afar thousands of miles away..." Xuan Ji's tone was filled with pride, "Because of the ancient artifact, there is no such thing or person in the world that can be bound by it."

Huamian: "…"

Hua Mian said with a "Oh" face again, telling herself in her heart: It's no wonder, it's just a fantasy version of Harry Potter's "Flying in the Curse". Have you seen someone on the market, how can you not make a fuss like a country bumpkin?

Hua Mian held her hands behind her back and kicked her shoes in the snow: "... Then, why are you there today? It appeared so timely, I didn't seem to have time to say thank you to you?"

Unexpectedly, the man who answers questions and answers fell into silence.

Hua Mian originally asked casually, and was about to accept a standard answer such as "I happened to pass by when I looked for the scabbard" and "I followed the scabbard's aura". At this time, I found that he was silent.

Silenced?

Hua Mian raised her head and looked at Xuan Ji with some confusion.

The latter's jaw was tight and the Adam's apple moved suspiciously, and then he unscrewed his face.

——It’s almost like writing the word “sincere” on your face.

Huamian: "…"

Hua Mian Ran pointed to the tip of his nose: "Did you keep following me..."

"I'm here--"

"'I'." Hua Mian corrected it seriously.

"I... have no other place to go." Xuan Ji said lightly, "The inn room that the girl paid for was due, and I had no currency in circulation on me, so I had to temporarily follow the breath of Wuguijian's sword sheath, and always stay with me, hoping that the news clues about getting the sword sheath earlier-"

Huamian raised his voice: "Always accompany you?!"

Xuan Ji hurriedly said: "The girl naturally avoids when she goes to the toilet, takes a shower, and changes clothes."

Huamian: "…"

At this time, Xuan Ji thought of the two who agreed to "never meet again" seven or eight days ago, and he regretted what he said about these things. He was about to explain and apologize sincerely, but at this moment, he felt his sleeve being pulled down... He was slightly stunned, and he lowered his head and his eyes fell on the tender white claws that pulled his black sleeve.

"I'll forget what I said that day," Hua Mian lowered her head, avoided the man's gaze, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Now you are my savior, I still owe you a favor-"

Huamian let go of Xuanji's sleeves.

"You have been in this world for so long and have been in a daze. If you continue like this, let alone looking for a scabbard, it is a question whether you can go back alive," Hua Mian said slowly. "I can't help with the scabbard, but I can teach you how to live well here..."

Xuanji: "..."

Xuan Ji felt that he seemed to understand something.

Xuan Ji: "What the girl means is that you don't need to avoid it in the future?"

The person standing in front of him was almost over his chest. She lowered her head and nodded quickly with a blushing face.

Xuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhengyi said, "It's great."

For some reason, after he finished speaking, he found that the face in front of him was even redder.

Like cooked shrimp.

She raised her head and opened her mouth to look at him, looking very stupid: "Aren't you angry, did I drive you away before?"

Xuan Ji: "Don't be angry."

Huamian also smiled—

Looking at the smiling face that suddenly bloomed, Xuan Ji was stunned: the tip of her nose was slightly red from the cold, the corners of her lips were slightly curled up carefully and happy, and snow reflected in her eyes, as if there was light.

...It seems that he was right before.

She smiled and it was indeed very beautiful.

If you put it in Wuliang Hall, you will probably be snatched by those young men and complained about marrying them home and hiding them.

"What do you think?" Hua Mian asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No."

The two ignored Brother Wang who was lying in the snow. Before work started, there were naturally people from the clothing team coming up to get the armor and found him... Hua Mian was even more unwilling to look at him at all. He pulled Xuan Ji's sleeve and said "Go" in a low voice, and then left shoulder to shoulder with him.

A conversation came faintly from the stairwell—

“Where to go?”

"I'll take you to the gold and silver pawn shop later, um, ah, snee! Ah, forget it, the weather is so cold, so let's take you to have breakfast first... I know which restaurant on the hotel has a delicious breakfast, uh, it's the kind of food that is covered with a ball of meat or bean paste in a thin layer of dough, which can be eaten..."

"Why does Miss Huamian think there are no buns in Zhuxia continent?"

“…”

"Why did Miss Huamian stop talking again?"

“Because of embarrassment.”

“…”

A gust of wind blew up the rooftop door, making a "crunch" sound.
