Chiba and Yoko both stared blankly at the two people in front of them. What was going on with that inexplicable tit-for-tat confrontation?
Chu Xiaotian was holding Kiryu Hyoichi's wrist at the moment, his face expressionless.
"It turns out that Oda-kun is here too, so Chiba can only ask for help from Oda-kun." Kiryu Hyou smiled and retracted his hand, then slowly stood up and rubbed his wrist.
At this time, Gu Jianzhu suddenly walked forward, her eyes seemed to be condensed with a fierce light. She looked at Chu Xiaotian, and the latter also looked at the former at this time.
Chu Xiaotian also stared at the girl coldly, and he would naturally take what Ji Yeling said to him to heart.
Gu Jianzhu said indifferently: "Hey, your scratch hurts Bingyi."
Why do you feel so yandere?
"Really?" Chu Xiaotian disagreed.
Therefore, Gu Jianzhu took a step forward, and she grabbed Chu Xiaotian with one hand. The latter did not dodge at all, but he wanted to see what this girl wanted to do.
"bamboo!"
Kiryu Hyou called out as if he wanted to stop Furuma Take.
Furuzama's hand also stopped in mid-air, and then slowly retracted it. She retreated to Kiryu Hyouichi's side, her face expressionless and she didn't say anything.
What a strange person.
"It's our side that disturbed you, I'm very sorry."
Kiryu Hyouichi bowed slightly to apologize to the three of them, and then pulled Furumagaki away.
After the two left.
Chu Xiaotian turned to look at Qianye and asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"
"Ah? Well...a little bit." Chiba finally came back to his senses.
In the previous atmosphere, it was difficult for Chiba and Yoko to interrupt.
Chu Xiaotian said: "I have learned some massage techniques, otherwise I will massage you. I often massage my mother when I am at home."
"massage?"
Chiba was a little surprised when he heard this: "I never heard you say you could do this."
Chu Xiaotian said: "After all, it can only be used at home on weekdays."
In fact, he just wanted to use spiritual power to help Chiba activate menstrual blood during massage, which would also be of great help to the healing of wounds.
Although he doesn't have much spiritual power now, there is no problem if it is only at this level.
After the three of them returned to the room.
"Chiba, you can't take a bath in a hot spring like this, right?"
"Well, Yoko, go ahead, I'll be fine."
"Hey hey hey, I'm just going to soak for a while and then come back. If I don't soak for two days, I won't have a chance!"
Ever since, Yoko ran to the hot springs with a smile on her face.
There were only two people left in the room.
"You sit on the chair."
"Um..."
So Chiba sat on the wooden chair.
Chu Xiaotian sat on the ground, then stretched out his hands to grab the girl's feet.
"Woo..."
Chiba covered her mouth with the back of her hand, looking a little uncomfortable and her cheeks were a little red.
"Chiba, are you ticklish?"
"Well, a little bit, and this is the first time for a boy to..."
Although she hadn't finished speaking, Chu Xiaotian knew what she wanted to say. He smiled and said, "That's it."
Spiritual power emanated slightly from his hands, and Chu Xiaotian began to massage it. Qianye also gradually felt that her feet were getting warmer, and she spoke in surprise.
"Xiaotian, do you really know how to massage?"
"certainly."
Looking at the young man massaging her feet, Chiba's eyes also had a faint twinkle, and she asked: "Xiaotian, why are you here?"
"Huh? Because I heard from Yoko that you don't seem to be feeling well."
"So Xiaoda, are you worried about me?"
Chu Xiaotian was startled for a moment, and then said with a puzzled look on his face: "Yes, what's wrong?"
This is a matter of course.
Seeing the young man's appearance, Chiba's heart became warm.
"Thank you, Xiaotian."
"it's not a big deal."
The young man who massaged the girl was very quiet. His fingers were very slender, and he looked like they were suitable for playing the piano. His massage movements were also very gentle.
Looking at him in front of her, Qianye couldn't help but think of the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her that night. It was definitely not a dream or hallucination, it was something she experienced and saw with her own eyes.
That is such a familiar silhouette.
It seemed like it wasn't the first time I was saved by that person.
Even though it was raining heavily, the mountains were dark and misty, and even though the girl was about to faint, the familiarity of that figure was extremely clear to her.
That person is...
"That night, was it Xiaoda?"
The words the girl subconsciously spoke made the massaging hands stop.
Chu Xiaotian slowly raised his head, and his two pairs of black eyes met, just like close people staring at each other, staring intently, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.
"Chiba, did you... say something just now?"
Although he heard it clearly.
Only then did Chiba come back to her senses from her memories. She was about to deny it, but she vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a layer of fog in the black eyes in front of her, which was mysterious and impossible to see through.
So, the girl lowered her eyes slightly and spoke again after hesitating for a moment.
"A few nights ago, a man saved me in the mountains."
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Someone saved you? Who was it?"
Chiba raised her eyes again and met those eyes, and she said: "Isn't that person Xiaoda you?"
Boom.
Chu Xiaotian's heart also jumped heavily at this moment.
How did he answer?
Do you want to tell her the truth?
"Xiaotian, why don't you speak?" Chiba seemed to have caught something. She asked, her eyes becoming a little confused.
Want to say something?
Since the Horizen Togami matter has been resolved, he can probably return to his normal life, right?
In this case, as long as Qianye is told the truth, he will no longer have to worry about the ghosts he sees in daily life.
Anyway, I have to go back to a peaceful life...
No, that's not right.
Just because I want to return to daily life, I can't say anything.
Even if the Horizen Togami affair is over, it doesn't mean that peace will really come to an end.
Can telling Chiba the truth now really make her feel at ease? Is this appropriate?
Now Chu Xiaotian is just an ordinary person. He has a combination of the characteristics of his former monk and Chu Xiaotian, and he is extremely torn about whether to tell the truth.
Telling the truth may not be a bad thing for the current situation.
But what about the future?
Does the death of Horizen Togami really mean eternal peace?
It would be nice if it was, but obviously... it's not.
Finally, Chu Xiaotian sighed deeply in his heart, and then showed a strange look: "Qianye, who did you mistake me for? I just came to Kyushu yesterday."
Chiba looked at the young man in front of him, as if trying to see some flaw in the latter's face.
But she couldn't see it.
Chiba finally said with some disappointment: "Sorry, I thought that person was Xiaoda."
"It's okay." Chu Xiaotian continued to massage the girl.
Soon after, Yoko came back, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
