He meant just in case!
If Kanae encounters danger during the team entrance examination, then everything he has done so far will become meaningless.
"I'm sorry, Mingfei," Butterfly Kanae opened her bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth rarely showed any arc.
"Here, I would rather you call me Sister Chanae."
silence,
A long silence fell, leaving only the sound of wind and sand whistling outside the house.
Butterfly Kanae tilted her head to look out the window, her sight seemed to pass through layers of space and finally landed on the cherry tree in the courtyard which was who knows how many steps away.
In spring, in a small house, cicadas are chirping.
The wooden sword breaks through the air, the purple eyes insert flowers, and the air is misty with the fragrance of tea.
The promise of being together forever should not be placed on one person!
"Ming Fei, do you know? I have been having a nightmare since New Year's Day."
Butterfly Chanahui pursed her lips and spoke softly,
"In the dream, we met a dying little beggar."
"In my dream, Shinobu and I made a similar agreement with him as you did."
"In the dream, it was the same New Year, and it was the same ghost. The little beggar did not keep his promise because he ran away."
"But he kept his promise. No matter what kind of struggle he went through, he finally came back, holding a knife, and stood in front of Xiaonin and me, like a..."
Chapter 69 Who will win the bet?
"Like a little hero from a fairy tale."
Her body trembled slightly, and her voice trembled. Butterfly Kanae thought of that despairing scene.
"Blood! Then there was blood! Lots and lots of blood! I can't remember how badly he was injured, I just know he told us to run."
Butterfly Chanae pursed her lips and looked at Shi Mingrong, her nose felt sore.
"We survived, but the promise was broken later because he died. He died in the place where we made the promise. Shinobu and I buried him with our own hands!"
"Do you know? Ming Fei!"
She raised her trembling hands and stared blankly.
"That handful of dirt seemed to be stuck to my hands! My soul! No matter how hard I tried, it couldn't be washed off!"
Butterfly Chanae shook her head uncontrollably.
"Ming Fei, I know it was just a dream, but that dream was too real, too scary, as if it was foreshadowing something."
Click——!
She lowered her hand and grasped the handle of the knife at her side, holding it tightly!
"So after that, I wondered, if I continued to live like before, like an ordinary girl, and continued to live a carefree life, what would the future be like?"
The girl smiled bitterly.
"There will come a day when we will find ourselves in the same situation again."
"Will not,"
Shi Mingming interrupted Kocho Kanae's words without saying anything, and clenched his fists in a deep voice.
"As long as I'm here, Dad, Mom, Shinobu, Sister Kanae, and everyone else, everything will be fine!"
"All you have to do is pursue the life you want."
"I know, I know, I really do know,"
Butterfly Chanae shook her head. The incoordination between her words and actions spoke volumes about the gentle girl's heart. As she repeated this over and over again, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes shimmering with light.
"But, what about you?"
"Ming Fei! What would you do if you encountered that situation?"
"Being left alone again, letting everyone you care about leave?"
“Once again, I’m all alone facing an enemy that I can defeat or cannot defeat, wandering between the uncertainty of life and death?”
"It's not that clear!"
Butterfly Chanae stared at Tokiwa Tomofei who looked dazed.
"You can exercise, you can swing a knife, you can fight, you can fight for the people you care about, but why... why can't we do the same?"
The corners of my eyes are stained with sour red,
"Ming Fei, I don't want to be the vase that is still in the tea room at home."
"Ming Fei, I am unwilling to give up. I am unwilling to lift my legs just to escape! Escape! Escape again!"
"That's too much. Putting the entire promise on you is really too much."
Silence for a long time,
"I didn't say you can't." Shi Mingfei kept opening and closing his fists. As he stood up, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the girl who was also looking down and silent.
"That"
"How about next year? One year, just wait for one year! No! Wait for half a year! After all, there are some uncertain risks in the assessment for joining the team. You wait for me to complete the trial, and we will do it together."
When he heard what Ming Fei said, he was stunned.
He stared blankly at the girl whose eyes were full of crystal light and said no more.
Butterfly Kanae raised her head, feeling the coolness of the jade pendant on her chest, staring at the boy's face quietly, and suddenly smiled, a bitter smile.
"Ming Fei, I won't wait for you. If you still can't understand me after saying this, I will too."
"I won't listen to you anymore."
Because side by side is what she wants to do and what she wants to pursue now!
Shi Mingfei opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.
There are no words to express it, no way to persuade it, or no way to refute it.
It's like someone hit the pause button on the world, but damn, a fishbone got stuck in your throat at that exact moment.
Can't move!
The trembling of the heart is the rising powerlessness!
There is no right or wrong in this matter, and there is no solution.
"Let's make a bet, Mingfei."
After an unknown amount of silence, Kocho Kanae stood up, raised her head slightly and looked at the boy in front of her.
"I know that the Demon Slayer Corps assessment carries the risk of death, but I'm betting my life that I can survive."
"I'm betting my life on a future where I can keep up with you on my own."
"If I lose," Kocho Kanae waved her hand in a casual manner.
"Then let this vase break."
"What bet? You are just acting on impulse. If you lose, there will be no winner!" Shi Mingtou argued through gritted teeth.
"Why do you think I'll lose?"
Kocho Kanae put on her usual smile again, her pink eyes still had the same deadly tenderness as before, but with a hint of growth and determination.
She hugged him fiercely, not wanting him to see her vulnerable and embarrassed.
Two lines of real tears slide across the hypocritical arc at the corner of the mouth.
The falling curtains scattered like stars on the ground.
"Xiao Mingfei, this time, can you not be so arrogant?"
“I will win.”
“I’m really going to win!”
She also wants to shine, not be illuminated!
At the mouth of the valley, the wind howled, bringing with it the autumn chill.
The two people hugging each other foreshadow the coming of separation.
Shi Mingfei gently patted the delicate back of the girl in his arms, wondering if it was an illusion.
He felt her trembling.
At that time, Ming Tou was thinking about the package sent by Butterfly Kanae in the house, which contained new clothes for autumn and winter.
After all, I still couldn't persuade her!
He stared at the stubborn girl, his eyes wandering around, scratching his head subconsciously, and changing the subject.
"By the way, where are Shimizu and Kuangqin? Why don't I see them?"
Snapped--!
"Are you talking about the white-haired hedgehog-head and the boy with the scar on his cheek?"
Butterfly Chanae suddenly clasped her hands together, looked at Shi Mingfei apologetically, pursed her lips in shame,
"I'm sorry, Xiao Mingfei, I killed you accidentally."
Om-!
kill kill kill
At this moment, Ming Mingfei's eyes widened subconsciously: "!"
Kill, kill, kill?!
Pfft!
Butterfly Chanae suddenly covered her mouth, smiled softly, and went up to pat the frightened Shi Mingfei.
"Just kidding, just kidding.
He was just knocked unconscious, in the room inside the cabin, he must be awake now."
As she spoke, she looked at Shi Mingfei, her eyes moving, for a very long time.
It was the same in the past, there was rarely any conversation between him and the boy in front of him.
Especially without the noisy Xiaonin around, this silence seemed even more special.
But actually I didn’t feel awkward at all. Instead, what rose in my heart was a kind of indifference like flowing water reflecting the clouds.
Because their daily routine was often that he swung the knife silently while they watched with a smile.
Of course, sometimes she would also bring a cup of young tea, which was something unique to her.
Butterfly Chanae blinked, tilted her head and smiled at Shi Mingfei's slightly puzzled gaze, then simply turned around and waved gently.
"Go back, Xiao Mingfei, and apologize to those two boys for me."
She stuck out her tongue and muttered to herself,
"After all, who knows that you are also taking an assessment?"
Then, he strode away.
tread--!
tread--!
The heavy footsteps rolled over the red sand, making a sound.
Looking at the girl's figure gradually walking away, Shi Mingfei suddenly woke up!
If the trembling in the embrace when we parted just now was not an illusion.
How could that girl come here just to give a few pieces of clothes, or simply to inform others that she would be taking part in the assessment to join the team?
Who would take a meaningless bet after being refuted?
