"An Le."
In the darkness, Yan Huan opened his eyes blankly.
He lay in the warm quilt, murmuring in his mouth tremblingly.
It wasn't until he heard the familiar voice in the darkness that Yan Huan got rid of the fear of turning into a snake.
But even so, the scene in the previous dream still lingered, making Yan Huan hold his breath in his chest and not exhale for a long time.
Instead, a tear slowly fell from the corner of his eye.
He remembered.
In the beginning, An Le was very autistic.
She was separated from her parents for a long time when she was a child, which caused psychological trauma to her.
She has no other friends of the same age in South District, and often sits alone on the edge of the sand.
It was because he felt pity for her that he used the vow to become husband and wife to bring her out of the shadow of autism.
And to this day, she still remembers everything.
Yan Huan blankly exhaled the heavy breath in his chest, adapting to the air filled with moonlight.
Beside the bed, the originally blurry female statue became clearer little by little.
It's just that Yan Huan didn't notice at this moment, he just felt extremely thirsty at this moment.
Just as I was about to get up, I felt a little pulling sensation.
So, he turned his head and looked into his arms.
But in his arms, he saw An Le cowering there, facing him.
She didn't squeeze or crowd, it seemed like she just found a position that didn't hinder her and curled up, trying to feel her own warm body temperature, even just a little.
At this moment, she was sleeping soundly, with a relaxed face.
There are some baby fat little faces lying in the messy black hair, with soft eyebrows.
Finally, she no longer pursed her lips as she habitually did during the day. Instead, she opened her small mouth and breathed inaudibly.
One of her hands subconsciously clenched into a fist, gently tugging on her clothes and not wanting to let go.
"."
Yan Huan looked at her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, and it seemed that at this moment, he finally saw her true appearance like a cocoon.
Yan Huan is thinking:
Meow-chan said, Modifier comes from desire.
However, An Le, who was autistic at first, had no such desire.
It was he who brought her out of isolation with his long-forgotten vows.
Therefore, he became her desire.
Did Yan Huan do it wrong at the beginning?
Not seen either.
Just
Yan Huan feels thirstier and thirstier.
He wanted to get up to get a sip of water, but he was worried about waking up An Le who was tugging at his clothes.
Just when he was trying his best to think of a way to get An Le to let go, he suddenly discovered that her grip was not tight in the first place.
It turns out that it is not a restriction.
Just a gentle tug and she will let go.
"Woo"
Just when she stepped back slightly and got away from An Le, she seemed to realize something in her sleep and let out a lovely whimper.
Immediately, the original serenity on her face was replaced by uneasiness.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to explore in the direction of Yan Huan, but she couldn't feel her hand at all. After exploring a little distance, she shrank and withdrew her hand.
An Le still stayed where he was in Yan Huan's arms, neither daring to step forward nor to step back.
He just pursed his lips and huddled his body tighter, like a little ball in the quilt.
"."
On the side, Yan Huan, who was turning sideways, looked at An Le's sleeping face.
After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to An Le in his sleep,
"I'll be back in a minute."
"."
She fell asleep and didn't respond.
It's just that Yan Huan has never heard her refuse what she said.
So, probably even if she was awake, she would just say "hmm" obediently and say she would wait here for him to come back.
"."
Yan Huan stood up silently and covered himself with the quilt to prevent the cold air from invading from any possible corner.
"Click~"
On the second night, the night in Shenxiang was very peaceful.
The pink peach trees turned into elegant women's skirts under the moonlight, dancing in the bright moonlight.
Yan Huan glanced at the clock in the corridor and realized that not long had passed.
It's the darkest night.
He went to the bathroom and drank a lot of warm water one cup after another, and then he completely swallowed the dry mouth that had not gone away for a long time.
"Shasha. Shasha"
He rinsed the cup, walked out of the kitchen, and planned to go back to his room.
At night, he took a look at the peach trees in the distance.
Only then did I realize that a goddess-like mother-in-law was not sleeping and was leaning against the peach tree.
"Grandma Kamishiro, aren't you asleep yet?"
"Oh yeah"
The godly mother-in-law heard the voice of Yan Huan and turned around.
"Haha, when people get older, they tend to sleep less. Sometimes I lie in bed and can't fall asleep for half the night."
She looked at Yan Huan who was also sleeping in front of her. She didn't say much, she just remembered something and suddenly asked,
"By the way, do you want to eat a peach?"
"Peach?"
In the courtyard, Yan Huan looked at Grandma Kamidai in confusion, wondering why she asked this question.
Walking towards her slowly, he saw a medium-sized peach in her hand that looked a little green.
Seeing the unripe peach, Yan Huan's mouth stiffened slightly,
"Is this done, mother-in-law?"
"It's ripe. It's ripe. This tree was originally used for ornamental purposes. It can't bear many peaches a year."
"Hey, that must be very sour. Do you still want to eat this, mother-in-law?"
"How to say"
Grandma Kamidai took the peach and explained helplessly,
"This tree was planted by my husband a few years before he passed away. I thought he was using it as an ornamental flower, so I had never tasted the fruit of this tree and thought it would be very sour.
"As a result, I didn't know until he passed away that he planted this tree just to let me taste the taste of peaches, but he just bought the wrong variety."
Listening to her mother-in-law's joke, Yan Huan couldn't help but smile.
But Grandma Kamidai looked at the peach blossoms on her head and couldn't help but sigh and said,
"It's just that sometimes I wonder if this tree had a spirit, would it blame me?"
"Blame you?"
"Yes, I obviously planted it just to see its beautiful flowers. It tried its best to produce these fruits, but I disliked it and never tasted it."
Yan Huan looked at the regretful old man in front of her, but suddenly realized that what she really regretted was not the peach tree in front of her, but her deceased husband.
After all, you don't have to watch or eat the peach trees' blossoms and fruits.
But the fruits of human affection are not
Yan Huan was thinking about it, but his expression suddenly froze.
He raised his eyes blankly to look at the peach tree blooming in the night wind, but he couldn't help but look at the green fruit in Grandma Kamishiro's hand.
"."
He was silent for a long time, neither speaking nor looking away.
"What's the matter, boy?"
Yan Huan lowered his eyes and forced a smile,
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that this peach tree is very beautiful and looks like my girlfriend."
"Yes. She is indeed a very cute and beautiful child."
Grandma Jindai laughed, but suddenly remembered something, and reminded Yan Huan,
"By the way, boy, there is something I forgot to remind you today."
"Hmm, tell me."
"When you and Kazuya Aoi and the others went up to the mountain to play today, I saw the news on the TV."
Saying that, Grandma Kamishiro took out a small piece of paper from her arms, and it seemed that there was a phone number of Sakura Nation written on it,
"There was a paid missing person notice for you two broadcast on TV. The photos and information were all matching, and a contact phone number was also left.
"There should be very powerful people looking for you. Many TV stations are broadcasting it at the same time."
Yan Huan glanced at the note held in the old mother-in-law's hand. There was a phone number written on it, followed by the name of the contact person:
"Miss Sakuramiya."
With just one glance, Yan Huan knew who was looking for them.
"The people who are looking for you are very powerful. Today, TV Tokyo has rebroadcasted this missing person notice several times, not to mention other TV stations.
"I think if you call her and let her know that you are here, maybe the things that were done in the town in seven days can be solved tomorrow.
"In this way, maybe you can leave tomorrow."
Yan Huan looked at the note in her mother-in-law's hand and was silent for a long time.
"."
It wasn't until a long time later that he gently stretched out his hand.
But instead of taking the note, he took the peach held in her mother-in-law's other hand.
Looking at the young man who took the peach, Grandma Kamishiro was slightly startled.
"Thank you for the peach, mother-in-law."
Yan Huan took the peach and finally said with a smile.
". Haha, it's okay."
Looking at the boy holding the peach, Grandma Kamishiro seemed to understand his choice.
Immediately, she shook her head and silently took the note back.
"Then good night, young man, I will sit here for a while."
"Okay, good night, mother-in-law."
Yan Huan nodded, turned around, and walked towards his and An Le's room.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, he looked down at the peach with some plush in his hand.
Then, he opened his mouth and bit into the peach flesh without hesitation.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, the bursting juice of the peach pulp splashed in the mouth and was tasted by the tip of the tongue.
"."
Unexpected Yan Huan
It's sweet.
"Zhizhi. Chat."
In the early morning, unknown birds stayed on the branches of the peach trees in the shrine grounds.
In the pink of early spring, it looks like green jumping.
An Le was awakened by such a sound, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, waking her up from the dream she didn't want to wake up from.
She had not slept so peacefully for many days.
Although she lost all feeling in her limbs, in her dreams, the pain that seemed to penetrate her soul when the tentacles were broken often circulated, giving her frequent nightmares.
Either be swallowed by the tentacles, or completely lose all sense.
Like a vegetative state, no matter how her parents or Xiao Huan call her, she is unaware of it.
But somehow, she slept peacefully last night and felt full for the first time in a long time.
"Woo"
He can even whimper cutely and stretch a little.
She rubbed the corners of her eyes to clear away the confusion.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Huan, who was also sleeping peacefully and surrounded by him, facing him.
His face is handsome, especially when sleeping.
It makes people want to steal a kiss.
"Huh?"
It was only at this moment that An Le suddenly remembered that he slept with Xiao Huan last night.
Her face turned slightly red instantly, and her heart beat faster.
But her body remained motionless, as if she was afraid that the slightest movement would wake Yan Huan up.
In this way, you can prolong the beauty of this moment, even if it is only a minute and a second.
She blinked and looked at everything about Yan Huan up close.
Eyebrows, lips and teeth, Adam's apple, collarbone, and
Hey?
It's true, boys actually do it unconsciously in the morning
An Le blushed slightly and remained motionless, but his watery eyes were dishonest and he subconsciously peeked into the quilt.
Wouldn't it be possible in the morning when Xiao Huan is asleep?
Just adjust it to automatic transmission?
"."
No, no, you. What are you thinking about, An Le.
An Le himself was speechless, wishing he could delete his memory and get rid of some useless yellow waste.
like now
That's fine.
"Pap-pap-pap!"
"Big brother, big sister!! Get up!!"
Just when An Le was smiling and enjoying the peaceful moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly came from outside the room, causing An Le's expression to change instantly.
you.
You two! Really!!
An Le clenched her fists angrily, but she was never good at blaming others, so she had no choice but to look at Xiao Huan in front of her.
But I saw that he opened his eyes a little tiredly, looked at An Le in front of him, and couldn't help but smile slightly,
"Morning, An Le."
"Ah, morning and evening, Xiao Huan"
An Le, with a slightly red face, covered his chest and sat up slightly, looked outside, and responded,
"We will get up soon. You go and wash up first."
"Oh, okay! Let's go, Kazuya!"
"Ah"
These two little kids are really full of energy.
Yan Huan also rubbed his head and sat up, looking at An Le who was sitting next to him with his bare legs and covering his chest.
He squinted his eyes and gently reached out to touch An Le's arm.
This time, An Le saw it, so she reacted immediately,
"What's wrong, Xiao Huan?"
Yan Huan looked at her half-slow reaction, then gently opened his hand and smiled at her,
"Good morning hug."
"Huh?"
"What's the matter? It's normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to hug each other in the morning."
So is Xiao Huan the boyfriend who would do such a thing?!
That.
That's very happy.
"Yes yes!"
An Le pursed his lips and gently extended his hand to Yan Huan as if he was flattered.
Yan Huan hugged her and locked her in his arms.
While they were hugging her, his hands began to move quickly and dishonestly over her body.
hand.
No response.
legs.
No response.
The more he touched it, the deeper Yan Huan's brows furrowed.
Because he found that her limbs did not respond to his touch at all.
Instead, when he touched his back, An Le trembled slightly in his arms,
"Itchy. Xiao Huan"
I have no feeling in my limbs. Is it only the body that can feel it?
Moreover, the body is gradually
Yan Huan discovered that the closer she got to her limbs, the slower her reaction became.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but her reaction is particularly obvious only when it's getting closer to her heart and head.
Yan Huan squinted his eyes, but finally let go of An Le, stepped back a little, and said with a smile,
"I'm sorry, because you're so cute."
"Huh?"
An Le blushed slightly, covered his chest and said embarrassedly,
"Xiao Huan just likes it"
"."
Yan Huan smiled helplessly, but an illusory subtitle flashed in his eyes.
That is, the products that appeared in the Demon store he refreshed last night were just remembered by him.
He lay on the bed and brushed it several times. As expected, it came out directly.
[Crab medicine*0.5]
[Disposable consumables, the drug will have the following effects after taking it completely:]
[1. Eliminate all curses attached to the body]
[2. Eliminate all side effects caused by using Modifier (Modifier progress cleared)]
[3. The body returns to a healthy state]

[Before kissing, you need to obtain the consent of the other party and do not force a kiss]
[At the same time, luring the other person to kiss you does not work]
Looking at the illusory interface that appeared, Yan Huan couldn't help but swallowed.
The good news is: He has a way to save An Le from the fire and water.
The bad news is: he may be in hot water soon.
"Xiao Huan, what's wrong?"
However, looking at An Le who was looking at him with his head tilted, Yan Huan couldn't help but sigh and immediately smiled.
He didn't wear a mask, he just stood up, grabbed An Le's wrist, and said,
"Nothing, let's go, let's go wash up."
"Ah, okay"
Looking at his grabbed wrist, although there was no feeling at all, An Le's heart accelerated a little by itself, and a touch of warmth came over him.
So, she pursed her lips and smiled, stood up, followed Yan Huan to get up, changed her clothes, and walked towards the quiet village outside the door.
"Meow~"
Beside, the illusory Meow-chan sat dignifiedly on the edge of the bed and yawned greatly.
He scratched the tatami floor and stretched, then washed his cat's face with his paws.
As soon as its tail swept, it suddenly felt something.
He turned his head and looked at the corner beside the bed.
But there, there was a statue of Moonlight Bodhisattva with a clear face.
At the bottom of the Bodhisattva statue, there is a line of small words engraved crookedly:
"Yan Huan and An Le"
Perhaps, when South District said goodbye, it was not just Yan Huan who gave An Le a bookmark as a souvenir.
The girl also gave Yan Huan a statue of a god that she thought would respond to her requests when she was leaving.
I hope that through the power of gods and Buddhas, they can meet again one day.
Just
Yan Huan does not have the words "Together forever" engraved on the bottom text like An Le.
Even when he moved out of the orphanage, the statue was missing.
That's why he felt that this statue with a vague face was familiar to him.
"Meow"
Meow-chan sighed with some regret, and was about to wag his tail when he turned around and followed Yan Huan and An Le who were walking further and further outside.
But at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of
Right next to the statue, there is a peach core with clean shaved flesh.
Meow-chan looked at the peach core for a long time, and then finally trotted out the door.
A TV in a room outside the door was broadcasting news repeatedly.
"It is reported that two high school students from Linmen, Yan Huan and An Le, are currently missing."
"Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the following number immediately: Ms. Sakuramiya, 0081"
