Walking out of the rather depressing room, Xia Luoche took a deep breath. Just as he was about to sigh that he had left this depressing hellhole, he saw Zhang Hao waiting at the door. He said with some surprise, "You haven't left yet. What's wrong with Zhang Nian's mental state?"

"Thanks to you, I'm fine. I just woke up ten minutes ago. I rushed here because you said you wanted to see me. Come with me."

Zhang Hao, who was leaning against the wall, left as he spoke. His voice was calm without any resentment, as if he did not hold a grudge against Xia Luo for almost killing his sister with a knife.

"I've heard from my sister that she deserved the blow. You don't have to worry too much about it. Just let it go."

"Well, it's great to meet a brother like you who is so sensible. I thought I was going to get slapped twice."

Xia Luoche said with some shame, but he couldn't tell whether he was really ashamed or not. He just knew that he should show this kind of expression in this situation.

"You are going to Putian next. Although I heard from Yang Haotian that you defeated the God of Death alone, you are very powerful. But I still advise you to be careful. The spell of that cursed spirit is very strange. Although the area of ​​the domain does not look too large from the outside, earth-shaking changes have already taken place inside. It is like a vast and boundless maze. Once you go deep into it, you may not be able to get out.

This is just my memory from six years ago. I don’t know what’s going on now. My sister seems to be attached to you. I hope you don’t hurt her too badly. This is my advice to you.”

"This... Feelings can't be forced. We'll have to wait until the future to see what the future holds. I might suddenly die someday."

Xia Luoluo gave a bitter smile, because he himself didn't know what the definition of love was. He always thought that just staying together was enough.

"That's true. You are quite open-minded and it's good to know how to make choices, but the most important thing at this moment is to pay attention to the things in front of you. Even if you often fall into deep thought and discard things that you think are unimportant and keep the most precious things, the more precious things are, the more you will be afraid of them being damaged, right?"

Zhang Hao's brown pupils shrank slightly, reflecting the young man who was almost going to extremes.

"..."

The young man had nothing to say, he just followed silently, sharing life philosophy with these older people, he rarely won, he wanted to refute but found that what he said was indeed right, which was very distressing;

This also made Xia Luoluo sigh that older people really have a lot of experience, but he also kept the information provided by Zhang Hao in mind. Correspondingly, he would protect his sister well during this period. After all, he did not need others to teach him how to be a good person.

The two left the Jujutsu headquarters in the bustling area of ​​Beifen and headed to the First People's Hospital.

"Who do you think would win in a fight between the two of them?"

In the room that had been silent for a long time, the elderly Jian Zhonghua looked at Deputy Minister Zhao Weiguo and began to ask for his opinion as his successor. He also felt more and more that he was unable to handle things.

"Who knows? As long as it doesn't affect the people, let them make as much noise as they want. Lu Xiaoyao has serious antisocial tendencies anyway. If he dies, he dies."

Looking at the teacher who had devoted his whole life to this place, Zhao Weiguo sighed and said, "Let me take care of this place in the future. You have contributed to society for so many years. It's time to enjoy your life. I am only 30 years old now and can still work hard for another ten years."

"Yes, it's easy to get emotional when you get old, and you're focusing on the wrong thing. Our job is to protect the people..."

Jian Zhonghua sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to protect Lu Xiaoyao since he was a special grade after all. However, he forgot what impact his extreme personality would have on the society in the future. He was old and after working diligently for decades, he almost destroyed the beliefs he had held on to.

"I will resign after this incident is over, and I will hand this place over to you. You will take care of this place for me, and then find someone who is capable of taking over and train him, just like I did in the past."

"Well, I'll go fishing with you when I have time..."

【11:30】

The First People's Hospital, in a single room.

"The apple is ready, open your mouth, ah."

Lu Ya held a porcelain bowl in her hand and fed Zhang Nian, who had just woken up and was sitting on the hospital bed.

"I'm fine, Sister Ya, I'm just too exhausted. Let me do it myself. You're making me feel like I'm dying."

Zhang Nian smiled bitterly, and subconsciously touched the scar on her neck with her left hand, recalling the memory before she fell into a coma last night. Although the erosion of the blood mist has dissipated, the sequelae left behind will accompany her for the rest of her life, and it has also forcibly changed her personality, but this distorted personality seems to only be shown in front of important people;

'Will he still take me with him? The contract has not been completed yet, he should take me on the journey. After all, it was the first time I had so much fun. He is really a good person... but I crossed his bottom line.'

Looking at Zhang Nian who suddenly fell into deep thought, Lu Ya silently put the bowl on the table beside her and turned to look at Zhao Yang and Zhuge An.

Zhuge An's eyes were fixed on the conspicuous scar on Zhang Nian's neck at this moment, his hands clenched tightly, and his expression was cold.

Zhao Yang glanced at Zhuge An, and seeing his murderous look, he knew that he was going to smoke Xia Riyue in a while, even if he killed the "God of Death" alone;

The purpose of the Seventh Team is to treat each other as family. Zhuge was so angry that there was nothing he could do. He didn't have any thoughts, but he just felt that it was good that Zhang Nian was still alive. After all, she had gone there voluntarily, and it was enough for her to be brought out alive. There was no better situation than this.

"Click——"

The door opened and Zhang Hao brought Xia Riluo into the ward.

"Summer sunset?!"

Zhang Nian was delighted to see Xia Luo coming to pick him up to continue his journey.

"Summer sunset!"

Zhuge An looked at Xia Riyue who walked in, shouted angrily, clenched his fists and walked over, the blue cursed power enveloped his body unconsciously.

"Don't be like this, An, this is what Zhang Nian pursues himself, and we as family members should not stop him."

Zhang Hao stopped Zhuge An who was about to get angry.

Xia Luoluo glanced at him. It was all within her expectations and there was nothing much to say. She walked to the bedside, smiled and nodded at Lu Ya, then looked at Zhang Nian on the bed and asked, "Contract, do you want to continue?"

"Yes, I have already given you my body, so take me with you and continue traveling. I really want this kind of life. Don't worry about me."

Zhang Nian, who was wearing a hospital gown, hugged him, his eyes closed, and spoke with a relaxed but somewhat sick expression.

This change also made everyone on the field look over except Xia Luoluo. It was like a completely different person, but it felt so reasonable. What the hell was this?!

"If you follow me, you will go crazy sooner or later. Let me make it clear that I will not care about you after the contract ends. I still have to go back."

Xia Luoche picked up Zhang Nian from the bed, said hello to everyone on the field, and left directly using Flying Thunder God.

"Goodbye, it looks like this little girl is going to follow me, so I'll take her away first, after all, the contract isn't over yet."

Seeing the two people suddenly disappear, the field fell into a brief silence.

"So... is it really Zhang Nian?"

Lu Ya spoke slowly, looking at Zhang Hao with some uncertainty. His personality changed so quickly that she couldn't accept it.

"Well, let her be..."

Zhang Hao sighed helplessly, and realized that he did not seem to be a qualified brother. He always used his own experience to judge her life, and in the blink of an eye, she became like this;

Is it wrong to want her to live in peace?

Perhaps Zhang Hao's original intention was not wrong, but the mistake was that Zhang Nian's personality was destined to prevent him from living in peace. The clash of their opinions naturally led to this rather sad situation.

"I'll go and tie her up and bring her back."

Still worried, Zhuge An pushed Zhang Hao away and walked out of the ward neatly.

"I'll follow him to prevent him from doing anything stupid. Captain, you should go back and have a rest. The team won't be going on any missions for now."

Zhao Yang hurriedly followed.

"Then I'll go and handle Zhang Nian's discharge procedures."

Knowing that the captain himself was the saddest person at the moment, Lu Ya chose to give him a quiet space. She wiped the tears that quietly flowed from the corners of her eyes and left.

"Ah."

As the door closed, Zhang Hao regretted, "I was too strict..."

……

On a busy street, a young boy was walking down the street holding a girl in hospital gown, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

"How come it came out in an instant just now?"

Zhang Nian put his arms around Xia Ri's neck and looked at the blue sky.

"Jishi, is there anything you want to eat now? I'm going to go get my cursed tools, and rest for a few days to teach you some fighting techniques, and then I'll head to Putian."

"Can't eat it."

Hearing about food, Zhang Nian thought of the minced meat he had eaten last night, and all of a sudden he lost all his desire. He lay on the boy's chest, closed his eyes, and whispered, "The sun is so comfortable, let me sleep for a while, I don't care where I go, I want to stay by your side..."

"……good afternoon."

……

Seven days later, August 8, 18:12.

"We have arrived at the final stop, Putian Station, passengers, please..."

The announcement on the train sounded. Xia Luoluo looked at Zhang Nian who was still eating heartily, and stood up to remind him, "Let's go, we've arrived."

"it is good."

Zhang Nian licked the seasoning on his lips, then stood up, followed Xia Luo, and left the train station along with the crowded crowd.

“It’s really hot.”

August is a hot summer day, especially in places like this near the sea. People walking on the road all carry parasols, wear cool clothes, eat ice cream and talk about recent interesting things.

Zhang Nian complained, and when he heard Xia Luoluo didn't respond to his words, he looked over with some resentment; "What are you looking at? Is there anything prettier than me?"

"Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Xia Ri Luo looked at the map and ignored the girl who had already indulged herself. He looked up and around, roughly determined the direction of the forbidden area, and fell into deep thought;

The news that the "Death God" had been exterminated had spread a few days ago. Logically speaking, Lu Xiaoyao should have used his free time to exterminate the "Night Walker" and head to the "Mother River";

But the reality is that he did not do so. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and the Snow Queen disappeared.

But I always feel that he will not run away. Although we can only fight once, I can basically confirm that he is the kind of person who will never let go of any grudge. I guess he is waiting for me here at the Night Walker.

After all, with 'Amagiboko' and 'Snow King' following him, there was no way he would die at the hands of 'Night Walker'.

Xia Luo, who had roughly determined his idea, left and said to Zhang Nian: "Are you ready? We will enter the forbidden area at night."

"Of course, I told you I'll go wherever you go. Are you touched?"

"No."

"hateful!"

Zhang Nian, who was already holding the summer necklace around his neck as a pendant, gently bit the boy's ear, and kept complaining in his heart about what was so good about that girl named Maki.

"It's coming... Summer sunset... is coming, I have to... go back and tell the master."

Above the dense trees, a branch that merged with the shadow was now watching the departing summer sunset, just like a bird, just glancing away and then leaving;

There was no hostility, nor was there any imprint of prying, as if in the vast sea of ​​people, they had spotted someone they cared about more at a glance, remembered his arrival, and then silently kept it in their mind and quickly left;

The whole process was silent, like a flying bird observing the people coming and going on the street, no one would notice it.

In a small restaurant;

Lu Xiaoyao and others were having lunch.
