She never thought that she would be seen again. She only revealed a little bit...
It was at this moment that she knew what she was afraid of.
The fear caused by this emotion must be rooted in the anxiety and uneasiness about the whereabouts of the parents.
She associated this with her own life experience and her origins, which invisibly strengthened the label of an "outsider". In Xia Yibing's eyes, it might be different from usual... and she saw it at a glance.
A little surprised at her alertness.
I was even more touched because she thought she was quite strict in controlling her emotions - much more strict than her peers.
If I hadn't been watching her every minute and every second, and hadn't been familiar with her words and actions to a certain extent, and hadn't cared about her to a certain extent, she would never have been discovered so quickly.
I can't not be responsible...
Feeling the woman's body trembling slightly, Hitzfeld sighed helplessly, put the basin on the table, and hugged her tightly.
“I’m not going away.”
Standing on tiptoe, she whispered in her ear.
"As long as the sun, moon and stars continue to move, I will always be by your side..."
Chapter 11 What Logic Cannot Think of
When he opened his eyes, Hitzfeld was a little confused for a moment.
But as the subsequent memories of last night came flooding back, her eyes widened little by little - they didn't do that last night, did they?
She only remembered that after she said that, Xia Yibing was a little too moved, and the strength of the hug she held on to her suddenly increased, a little roughly, and her struggle seemed to be non-existent in the face of violence.
It seemed like they were kissing again...and this time it felt completely different from last time.
Otherwise she would not have fainted from the touch. It was a magical feeling she had never experienced before... Her entire body and all her will seemed to have become a small boat in the waves. She could no longer lead it forward like a captain, but could only be tossed along with it on the waves.
Lying on the bed, in front of him was a familiar "soft" embrace. He could clearly smell the faint fragrance left on Xia Yibing's body, and Hitzfeld suddenly felt touched.
She could smell that it was not perfume.
Xia is still quite vain... Although her style of doing things has nothing to do with the word "love of beauty", it can be seen from her insistence on wearing black stockings with professional attire that she has a natural stubbornness about her unique aesthetic.
So she pays great attention to dressing up even at home - not necessarily very solemn, but to the extent that "even if guests come suddenly, she won't be in a panic."
In this regard, Hitzfeld was completely inferior. The makeup techniques she had learned so far were just to wipe her face a few times after washing it, and she had never done anything like drawing eyebrows and trimming eyes.
Her excuse was that her eyebrows and eyelashes were grey anyway, so the common makeup boxes on the market were useless to her. But she also knew that the core reason was that she was lazy.
However, even in such a summer...she still insisted on not wearing perfume these days.
Apart from being concerned about this and fearing that the anosmia that reversed his sense of smell would recur, Hitzfeld could not think of any other possibilities. For a moment, he actually thought that "even if she really succeeded", it would be pretty good.
But after she woke up, she lowered her head to check, and she was still wearing the thin nightgown she wore before she fainted yesterday. And there was nothing wrong with her body, so it seemed that Xia Yibing had restrained herself and did not continue to cross the line after she fainted.
"You're awake." A hoarse female voice came from above.
Xia Yibing had woken up a long time ago and wanted to get up right away, but she felt the girl in her arms moving unusually, so she simply stayed still and pretended to be asleep.
His body stiffened for a moment, and Hitzfeld slowly raised his head. As he moved, the hair on his forehead fell down little by little, revealing his pretty face and heterochromatic eyes completely.
Now it was Xia Yibing's turn to feel a little uncomfortable - maybe it was because of the golden pupil, this face always had a kind of weird beauty. Whenever she saw it, she always had a primitive impulse, wanting to bully her... wanting to see this face show an excessive expression.
Fortunately, it is not serious and can be suppressed with reason.
"Why don't you step over it?" a soft question came from below.
"...What?" Xia Yibing was stunned and her thoughts went blank for a moment.
"That last hurdle, you had a chance last night, why didn't you take it?" Hitzfeld had to make his words clearer.
She thought she didn't care anymore. This kind of thing... In fact, she had been mentally prepared for most of it from the moment she agreed to establish a relationship and live with the other person. The remaining gap was just her being upset, and the remnants of her past life were secretly playing tricks on her.
But it is different after all - after all, she is not required to be under a man and enjoy the pleasure, so the psychological pressure is not that great. But there is still one thing, she even fantasized about whether there is a chance to change back.
It was just that the huge emotion that came over her before she fell into a coma yesterday had changed something. This might have something to do with her fragility at the time, but who told Xia to do the right thing? Her heart was taken advantage of again, and even now she could feel it was filled with some emotion.
So… she wasn’t sure about the future, but last night, if Xia wanted, she would definitely not resist.
The divine eye had been suppressed by regular medication. Judging from the fact that she was just unconscious in the end and didn't feel any pain, they were ready to take that step together.
"Oh, you mean that." Xia Yibing reacted and looked at the girl's flushed cheeks and suddenly smiled: "Of course it's because it's boring."
"what?"
"As for that kind of thing, I read in a book that the process is actually not important, and the result is actually not important either. What is really important, the core thing, is the emotional interaction between the two people during the process."
Xia Yibing stretched out a hand and began to count with her fingers: "And I wanted to appreciate your expression at that time... but you fainted, wouldn't it be boring for me to do it alone? So I just touched you a few times... Hey! Why did you bother me..."
Xia Yibing didn't have breakfast in the end.
She didn't mind, she put on a mask and ran downstairs to buy two meat pies. After returning, she ate them while leaning against the kitchen door frame, staring at Hitzfeld's back as he washed the dishes under Lily's gaze, and she ate with relish.
"...Don't you think your current behavior is abnormal?" Hitzfeld wiped a plate clean, put it on the cabinet, and glanced at her helplessly.
She hadn't changed her clothes after getting up. It was hot and she didn't even wear socks. She could feel the other person's fiery gaze more intuitively.
"I don't mind your evaluation." Xia Yibing shook her head. "You know my profession... For us, the most clear truth is that life is short and happiness is hard to come by, so whenever we feel happy and relieved, we will not suppress it like ordinary people do."
Hitzfeld paused.
"The premise is that it is not too different from our emotional logic, because no one knows if the next time you leave will be a farewell forever... Oh, sorry, I may have said the wrong thing again."
Noticing that the girl's emotions were fluctuating again, Xia Yibing immediately shut up and apologized.
"You don't have to apologize." Hitzfeld didn't dare look at her. "I should be the one to apologize... I'm too stupid... I've wasted so much of your time..."
This wasn't sarcasm, she really meant it.
A private investigator might be able to arrange his own schedule, but a Shadow Lion agent couldn't. They had always had very different attitudes towards life, and she was so slow to notice it until today.
In other words, as long as I decide to go to Wengsayn City, Xia must go with me even if he doesn't want to.
This situation was suddenly different. She couldn't help but hesitate, considering whether to tell Alvin specifically to keep Xia.
It is true that it is inconvenient for a woman to do many things after becoming the director, including no longer being able to personally accompany the case... But on the other hand, it is safer for Wayne to stay where he is now.
If you like someone, you will naturally start to worry when you can't see her. Let alone going out on adventures together, even if the woman doesn't come back on time after going to work, Hitzfeld will worry that she will get into a car accident.
After all, there is no mobile phone.
The feeling of having to wait in vain is really too bad for her, who has a modern soul.
"Why do you think so?"
The familiar smell came closer again.
"If Esoon isn't like this, then it isn't Esoon to me."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, nor do I think it's a waste of time. On the contrary, I think Aisuen is cute... You always look beautiful when you're shy."
Teng——
Hitzfeld's eyes widened. She could feel the heat on her face. She didn't even need a mirror to be sure that her face was now red.
So straightforward...
So... vulgar...
...it really suits her style.
"how about you?"
Suppressing her shyness, she suddenly turned around and looked up into those dark eyes.
"You know I like you too... why don't you ever show me your beauty?"
This is a far-fetched argument.
she said to herself.
On the surface, she was criticizing the other person for always dressing the same, not wearing long skirts or any kind of skirt...but in fact, she knew in her heart that it was this appearance of her that she was fascinated by.
That competence, that boldness.
Especially when he was wearing a big hat that covered half of his face.
My heart beats faster every time I watch it...
But she didn't intend to let Xia know.
I'm saying this now purely to change the subject and get the fire out of me first.
"Ah?" Xia Yibing was stunned.
I don't know how she understood it, but she suddenly grinned and leaned forward with a "naughty" smile:
"Well, next time, can you give me a pair of your socks? I can wear them when we are together..."
“——!!!?”
In every way, Hitzfeld's sanity was snapping.
She sincerely discovered that there are indeed some things in this world that cannot be considered logically.
It transcends logic.
Belong to nature.
Chapter 12 Discovery before departure
"So you really plan on coming with me."
"Of course, I want to protect you."
"I can ask Mapus to go with me. Besides, Onsin has 18 gold-rank warriors including Frick, and there are also airship reinforcements. If even they can't protect me, there's no point in you going with them."
"That's not the way to say it. After all, there are some dormant dangers that are hard to detect. This is something that can only be taken care of by close protection... And didn't you say you like me? Then I'll be with you, and you'll be able to see me every day. Shouldn't you be happy?"
Hitzfeld was depressed: "I..."
"Don't deny it - I heard it clearly just now, you admitted it with your own mouth, you like me too!"
"I still like Lily." Hitzfeld simply gave up. "You can't be reduced to competing for favors with a Sheldon dog."
I was careless for a moment and forgot to consider the rigor of the wording... and she actually found such a serious loophole.
Of course, that was not a loophole, but her true thoughts. But it was one thing to admit it yourself and another to be caught and kept talking about it. Hitzfeld was shy and she wanted to sew the woman's mouth shut.
Seeing her silly smile, she was no different from Lily. She was really afraid that she would bring this state outside and then tell everyone "Hitzfeld said he liked me".
That would definitely be a nightmare, she had to find a way to silence him.
"I don't understand what you are struggling about." Xia Yibing was so arrogant that she hugged her from behind and put her head on her shoulder.
"Look, now you understand what you were afraid of before... The seven-eyed stone tablet is related to the secret guarded by the Hitzfeld family, and may also be related to the whereabouts of your family... But that's why I want to go with you, right? Or can you guarantee that you can calculate and reason without any bias this time? Don't you need someone you trust enough to help you correct mistakes and complement each other?"
"That was before I figured it out." Hitzfeld knew he couldn't break free, so he continued washing the dishes and let the woman's hand caress his waist. "Now that I've figured it out, I believe I can do it."
"But I don't believe it." Xia Yibing said immediately, "You said it yourself. People make mistakes when evaluating themselves, and the judgments they make at that time are usually unreliable... You think you are ready, but you don't know what you will find out. Your expected readiness may be completely opposite to what you show when you actually face those things. It's rare that His Majesty has agreed this time. How can I let you go alone?"
"Well then..." Hitzfeld was persuaded awkwardly, "Then you come with me."
"That's right~" Xia Yibing happily started to use more strength again, and her two hands became restless, with vague intentions of touching her up and down.
"Ouch!" This was a soft moan caused by someone's toe being stepped on.
"Behave yourself." Hitzfeld knew that she was wearing hard leather boots, and his attack in slippers would not hurt her at all, but this was just a warning: "You have it too, why do you always want to touch me?"
"Then I'll let you touch me too." Xia Yibing cheered up, "Let's exchange!"
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Hitzfeld locked Xia Yibing and Lily outside the bedroom, and when he was changing clothes, he suddenly realized something very serious - she had slept for more than ten hours yesterday?
It should be light when they come back, and it won't be nighttime after taking a bath, which means that her sleep lasted at least twelve hours this time, which is definitely a huge improvement!
It seems that the drug added to Elwin's blood is really effective...it makes her more and more like a human being.
This is a good aspect, but there is also a bad aspect, which is that the power of the God's Eye will also be weakened simultaneously. At this juncture when they are about to set out for the evil land, Hitzfeld is not sure whether this change is good or bad.
She planned to talk to Sixus before leaving to see if she could stop taking the medicine temporarily. After all, it was embarrassing to let Alvin bleed all the time.
She put on her old white silk stockings and found a dark brown long skirt with overlapped edges and a waist that allowed her to slightly see her calves - it was not a one-piece style. She also picked out a white gauze shirt with a large collar and a dark brown beret with two white feathers to match the skirt, and began to study in front of the mirror whether to add a tie or a bow tie.
Theoretically, it should be added, but she still has a black leather collar around her neck, which can already have the effect of "suppressing the color" and "connecting the color", and it looks good even with an empty neckline.
