I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 41 Travelers

In the night, Xia Yuan felt calm inside, no longer feeling the joy he had felt when he saw the lively scenes in the past.

Although he was an outsider in the past, an outsider in the sense of the word.

Today, he is gradually becoming a de facto outsider.

A true loner!
Dragons cannot share a nest with ants.

This is the inevitable price to pay for the leap of life, which cannot be avoided.

He had no companions on this journey, and the further he went, the more lonely he had to endure.

And this loneliness may last for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

"Perhaps this is why the panel can deduce the awakening method!"

At this moment, Xia Yuan made a decision, a decision he had been unable to make for a long time.

He needs companions, even if these companions may not even see his back.

……

At the same time, in the bedroom on the second floor of Qin Shuai's house.

Qin Shuai was staring out the window in a daze.

Qin Xue was looking at the textbook in front of her, but she was also absent-minded. She didn't even turn a page for a long time, and she didn't even notice that the pen in her hand fell to the ground.

"Brother, is it really okay for us to do this?"

Suddenly, a voice was heard in the quiet room.

"I do not like this."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Drops fell, and the textbook on my chest became wet in an instant.

Qin Shuai knew what his sister was talking about.

He did not offer any comfort, but he felt equally uncomfortable at the moment, and he could understand this feeling.

Three days ago, under Xia Yuan's instructions, the two had less and less contact with him.

When they first heard the news, they breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to face that fear for a long time.

After that, we met twice a day on average, and after finishing our business, we almost parted soon after.

During this period, Xia Yuan didn't say much and treated them the same as before, but he never stayed long after meeting them.

Xia Yuan was deliberately distancing himself from the two people, and the two people were also distancing themselves from him.

Qin Shuai had a strong premonition that if this continued, they would drift further and further apart.

Maybe after the fish selling is over, there won’t be much interaction between us anymore.

Tonight, Qin Shuai wanted to go to Xia Yuan's house for dinner, but his inner fear made him hesitate again and again.

In the end, it still came to nothing.

After finishing their meal, the brother and sister haven't said a word to each other yet.

At this moment, Qin Xue finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xiaoxue, are you scared?"

"afraid!"

When facing her own brother, Qin Xue didn't want to tell a lie. After hesitating for a moment, she finally told the answer in her heart.

"I'm afraid too. If I stay near Brother Yuan for too long, I'll feel an inexplicable fear."

The two had been deliberately avoiding this issue for the past few days, and finally brought it up now.

"But brother, Brother Yuan didn't hurt us. Instead, he has been helping us."

"Didn't you also teach me that we must repay those who are kind to us?"

“I don’t know if we’re doing the right thing.”

When he answered, his words were choked with sobs.

"So, even if you're afraid, are you still willing to be like before?"

"I don't know. I just don't want to."

The girl was not sure what choice she would make if faced with the situation again.

This answer was actually quite emotional, but she was only a fifteen-year-old girl after all.

Many adults cannot maintain rational thinking, let alone someone of her age.

The boy took out a towel, wiped the tears from the girl's face, and asked solemnly, "If we make this decision, there will be no chance to regret it. We can either move further away from each other or overcome our fear."

"Since you asked, I'll leave the choice to you. Have you made up your mind?"

Silence returned to the room, and after a long moment, the girl nodded firmly.

There was no need for any extra words. The boy, who had been in tacit understanding with his sister for many years, already understood what his sister wanted to express.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Qin Shuai whispered silently in his heart.

"As expected of my sister, she will be more successful than me in the future."

He actually couldn't make a decision, so he gave the right to choose to his sister.

After making their choice, both of them felt noticeably more relaxed.

"Brother, do you know why I made up my mind?"

Without waiting for Qin Shuai to answer, Qin Xue gave the answer herself.

"It's not just because Brother Yuan helped us a lot."

"It's because I have a feeling, maybe it's a girl's sixth sense."

"It's also because of what you've inspired me before, and my observations over this period of time, that I feel that following Brother Yuan, we might have a completely different life in the future."

Looking at his sister's serious expression, Qin Shuai was distracted for a moment.

At this moment, he felt that his sister had really grown up, which was an experience he had never had before.

"Brother, Qin Shuai, are you listening to me?"

"Ah, yes, yes, go on."

"Hmph, I'm going to ignore you. I'm going to sleep."

……

The next day at noon, after transferring the money to Qin Shuai, just as Xia Yuan was about to leave, Qin Shuai spoke first.

"Brother Yuan, can we go to your house for lunch? Xiaoxue has been saying that my cooking is terrible these days and she wants to eat your cooking."

Qin Xue also added.

"Yes, yes, my brother's cooking is terrible. Brother Yuan, we pay for the food, so it's not free. We can also help out."

Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked the two of them up and down.

"Oh, are you sure?"

Under his gaze, the brother and sister instantly felt a surge of pressure, and fear inevitably rose in their hearts.

This was also what Xia Yuan did deliberately, deliberately using his mental power to put some pressure on them.

He could more or less understand the two teenagers' thoughts.

It's simply that he feels that since he has received a favor from me, it would be inappropriate to distance himself from him.

Although Xia Yuan thought this was nothing, after all, he was not really suitable to stay with others for a long time.
But he was still quite relieved by the two people's behavior, at least it proved that he was not wrong about them.

However, considering the actual situation, he was still prepared to let the two of them give up, as the time was not right yet.

"How about it, do you still want to come to my place for dinner?"

Faced with Xia Yuan's half-smile in his tone, the brother and sister not only did not feel relaxed at all, but the pressure doubled.

The words that had been prepared were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.

When the pressure gradually disappeared and I came back to my senses, Xia Yuan had already walked away, leaving only his back in the distance.

Like a lonely traveler, leaving everyone behind.

Qin Xue stared at the scene blankly, as if everything was fading away.

"Xiaoxue, we..."

"Brother, you said we can't regret it."

Without listening to what her brother said next, Qin Xue gritted her teeth and trotted after him.

"Brother Yuan, although I'm scared, I still want to go." Qin Xue shouted loudly behind him.

Xia Yuan stopped and turned around to look at the little girl seriously for the first time. Perhaps this was his companion.

　Thank you all for your votes for recommendation. Please don’t waste your time raising books, but give some care to the young plants.

　　Old father, you say so, right?
