Ning Xue couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words. What do you mean I'm not dead?
But when he saw the water flowing down the cracks on the side, and looked at Shion's complicated expression of surprise mixed with shame, he seemed to understand.
"You really want me to die."눈_눈
Ning Xue said casually. He understood the reason and said he didn't care if he died.
Shion Hearing these emotionless words, he thought the other party was angry, so he quickly explained.
"No, no, the clone just disappeared, I thought..."
"You don't need to explain, I know." Shion stood up and wanted to explain in a hurry. But Ning Xue interrupted her directly and explained the following situation.
"The people below have been basically eliminated. Only the leader was seriously injured and rescued. It is estimated that there will be no more visits in the next two days."
He reported the results of the victory concisely and concisely, then paused and added.
"Water Clone was lifted because I took back Chakra on my own initiative. The battle is over."
He jumped off the rock and walked up to Shion. He lowered his head slightly and looked down at Shion who still had some tears on his face, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"So, are you... crying?"
Ning Xue looked at the tears on her face and didn't think she was crying for him.
After all - who would shed tears for someone they just met two days ago?
But the moment Shion was uttered this sentence, it buzzed, and the roots of her ears were instantly dyed a little pink.
She turned her face away suddenly and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves. Her voice was a little unstable due to the choking just now, and she forced herself to regain her arrogant and distant look.
"Who, who's crying! It's sand... The wind was strong just now, and it just blew the sand into my eyes!" Her explanation sounded weak, and you could even feel that she had a little bit of guilt.
Ning Xue looked at her quietly, with a hint of thought behind the mask.
Then he just said "oh" to show that he understood.
Maybe she was afraid that after she died, his guards would die too, or maybe she was afraid that she herself would die.
This dull reaction made Shion feel even more embarrassed, as if he had been punched in the cotton.
She took a deep breath, trying to regain the composure of the miko, and straightened her slightly messy clothes and hair, although her fingertips were still trembling slightly.
"Then... then what should we do next?" She abruptly turned the topic to business, but her eyes were still a little dodgey, not daring to look directly at Ning Xue.
"Keep on going." Ning Xue said concisely and to the point. He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"It took some time, but if we speed up, we should be able to reach the scheduled destination before nightfall."
Then he flattened the scroll in his backpack on the ground and channeled the necessary items.
He took out a rice ball and a pot of water.
Prepare to replenish your physical strength.
But just as he was about to bite it, he saw Shion standing there blankly, his eyes still slightly red.
He thought for a while, took out a rice ball again and asked.
"Do you need to replenish your strength?" He handed the rice ball to Shion and shook it, trying to bring her back to reality.
Shion was stunned when he saw the rice ball suddenly appearing in front of him and the familiar voice. Then he turned his head and looked at the rice ball in Ning Xue's hand.
She looked at the rice ball, then looked up at Ning Xue, hesitated for a moment, and no longer acted as unreasonably as she did at noon. She just took it silently and whispered "Thank you."
Then the two of them sat on the edge of the rock, some distance apart, and began to enjoy the rice balls in silence.
Shion took a small bite of some cold rice balls, but his thoughts were a little confused.
She couldn't help but turn her head slightly, and carefully looked at Ning Xue beside her, with only half of her face still exposed, with her peripheral vision, becoming increasingly curious and confused.
Who is he? Why does he want to help me? Is it really just for that Cursed Seal? But Five Great Nations should also have a solution, right?
Shion has questions swirling in his mind, but he doesn't know how to ask them.
Ning Xue on the side quickly finished his portion and tightened his kettle.
He glanced at Shion who was still chewing slowly, and without urging him, he just stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and cast his eyes into the depths of the distant jungle, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Shion also speeded up and finished the remaining rice balls.
"I'm fine." She stood up and said to Ning Xue on the edge of the cliff.
Ning Xue Hearing this, he turned around and re-sealed the item and returned it to the scroll.
"Let's go." He turned around and squatted down again with his back to her.
This time, Shion's movements were much more natural.
She leaned on his back, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and unconsciously lightly touched the texture of his sweater with her fingertips.
"Hurry up." It was still the brief reminder.
"Yeah." Shion responded softly, his face leaning a little closer unconsciously.
Ning Xue used his legs again, and with a body shape like a swallow, he jumped down from the top of the cliff and disappeared into the dim jungle again.
The wind howled in my ears, and the trees fell back quickly.
Shion, who was leaning on Ning Xue's back, felt a strange sense of peace, unlike the nervousness and shyness he felt in the morning. After experiencing a day of fatigue and intense emotional ups and downs.
She felt the steady heartbeat in front of her, which was a warmth that was completely different from the cold mask.
For some reason, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Maybe... I can rely on him?
But as soon as this thought arose, she shook her head to dispel it.
That's ridiculous.
