【Qijie】The Kingdom of Eternal Life

Chapter 6

"why me?"

Kiya met Kurapika's gaze calmly, his silver eyes were like burnt glass, his nose was straight, his lips were not smiling, the line of his lips was slightly straightened, sharp and cold.The snow leopard at his feet stood up silently, with its tail drooping, and the silver eyes, which were exactly the same as those of its owner, were cold and indifferent, like two sharp and sharp knives cutting through the wind.

"Don't use the excuse of being S-level to prevaricate me. There are too many examples of the combination of sentinels and guides of different levels in the tower. The combination of the same level is an old concept." Qi Ya put his hands in his pockets, "I can't be fooled. The bonding rate is 62%, and there is no bonding fever after the spiritual bonding. It's just a fugue, and it's not that the fugue can't be pulled back. Any A-level guide can do a good job."

That guy... probably won't have any sequelae of not being able to see the spiritual guide.

The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, probably because a message came in.Kiya glanced at the clock on the wall.At this time, Xiaojie had probably finished his examination at the military doctor, maybe he was asking where he was.It may also be that after waiting for a long time, I finally couldn't help asking him how long it was.

Since Xiaojie was still on vacation with pay, Qiya was responsible for handing over tasks by himself most of the time.But they are "newlyweds" after all. In order to save the tower's high-level nagging and to save themselves from getting into trouble, they all went in and out of the tower together when Xiaojie was coming for a rehabilitation checkup.

Haifeng probably sensed his agitation, and the long silver-white furry tail beat the ground anxiously.And Kurapika was silent for a while, then stood up, looking at the tall silver-haired youth cautiously.

"I understand your concerns, but Qi Ya..."

He said, "Have you ever heard your own heartbeat?"

Qi Ya walked to the end of the corridor, took out his mobile phone and looked, it was indeed a text message sent to him by Xiao Jie.

Xiaojie: I'm done, Qi Ya, have you handed in the task yet?Shall I go grocery shopping later?What do you want for dinner?

Qi Ya moved his fingers and turned back:

Chiya: Curry.

The notification sound for receiving the text message was crisp, and at the same time as a "Qi Ya!" sounded behind him.Qi Ya turned his face sideways and glanced lazily.Xiaojie walked from the end of the corridor with a coat on his shoulders and military boots.Behind him is an open window, the window sills are reluctantly covered with a layer of snow like melon seeds, outside the window the snow is shining brightly, torn to pieces by the wind, floating in like duckweed, covering the young man with a layer of snow. A layer of snow light fell on his shoulders, missed his calves, and softened the part of the neck exposed from the unbuttoned neckline and the sharp lines below it into a fluffy dandelion in the fine snow.

At that moment, Qi Ya thought that his breathing stopped slightly.

This daze was short, the sentinel patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go shopping?"

Qi Ya pulled away without any trace, nodded: "Well, there are chocolate and milk."

Xiaojie scratched his head: "Then why don't you just do some shopping... I think the shower gel is almost gone."

Qi Ya simply nodded, and the two of them stopped talking.

The tower is very high.The elevator was full, so they walked down the stairs.One window after another waited peacefully at the end of each flight of stairs, covered with a thin layer of snow.Xiaojie was walking on the periphery, and the snow light followed his steps, kissing half of his shoulder tenderly, and chased after his heels, but when he couldn't catch up, he reluctantly watched him go away.

Such a silent road is probably very embarrassing.But they don't.It may be that the intermittent snow light that is quietly waiting on each floor is beautiful enough.As well as the young man wading through the snowy light knowing nothing, his silent but beautiful Adam's apple and the line of his neck, his shoulders are neither thick nor thin.

Qi Ya shifted his eyes covertly, blocking his vision from continuing to observe the young man.

Haifeng doesn't have so many taboos, because he is a stealthy snow leopard now, no one except his master can see him running wild, he blatantly walks next to the sentinel's calf, and after walking for a while, he lazily hooks the sentry's tail with his tail knee.The meaning of closeness is clear at a glance.

Qi Ya snorted inwardly.

He is now a little thankful that Xiaojie has a problem with his spiritual domain, and he can't see his spiritual guide for the time being.As for this shameful product, if it is seen, something will go wrong 800 years ago.Part of the behavior of the spiritual guide is a reflection of the owner's heart. If the spiritual guide shows closeness and friendliness to a person, it is probably because its owner subconsciously likes this person very much.

But Qi Ya doesn't think it's because he likes Xiaojie very much that Haifeng is so unreasonable.He didn't dislike Xiaojie, and he was really interested in this famous S-rank sentry.After getting along for a month, I found that despite the false name of the S-rank sentinel, the other party is actually a simple, kind, enthusiastic and sincere boy who has not even fully grown up in a certain sense, and his cooking is unexpectedly delicious , it's really hard to hate.Even Qi Ya, who is lazy and indifferent by nature and lazy to socialize, feels comfortable having such an extra friend.

But Qi Ya doesn't think that just getting along for such a short period of time is enough for him to "like" this guide in the sense of bonding.Haifeng would act so clingy to Xiaojie, probably because he felt a little guilty.

It was not his original intention to let Xiaojie live in the house.

The tower rules are annoying, but not without room for maneuver.It's just that Qi Ya's identity is relatively special, and he has been wandering outside, which is somewhat disturbing.When a person is powerful, but not completely controllable, or even unable to figure out what is going on in his heart, the guys at the top often start to feel anxious and even suspicious.

Qi Ya is not afraid of suspicion.He is extremely capable, and he is different from ordinary guides. His strength is enough to make him careless of any criticism.But not being afraid does not mean not minding. Qi Ya is not willing to live in taboos all day long, nor is he willing to be locked up like this.He left the family for freedom, and of course he refused to enter the shackles of another meaning.The current way of life is very good, he has no plans to change it for the time being, why go against his boss if he has nothing to do, he is not full.

The tower is a huge monster that hovers over an area and covers the sky with one hand. As a special group of sentries or guides who have registered with the tower, once they leave the tower, they will also cause troubles that are not easy to deal with.

Rescuing Xiaojie was not because of a purpose, but when he was about to save him, he suddenly realized that if he established a spiritual link with Xiaojie, the most potential S-rank sentinel in the first tower, they would live together under the same roof. Getting along for a period of time with nothing to do seems to be able to solve this kind of vague trouble by the way.

So he let the other party live in smoothly.

But even if Qi Ya prides himself on being thick-skinned and hard-hearted, he has to admit: this approach...is really a bit of a rogue.Xiaojie doesn't know anything, and he treats people with sincerity. He earnestly fulfills the contract, and honestly does hygiene and housework. He has a good sense of presence but is not annoying. From the perspective of cohabitants, there is nothing better that's it.Even Qi Ya, who thinks that he has lost his conscience to Java 800 years ago, feels a little inappropriate for treating others with such sincerity.

So in order to make his conscience less painful, he spared no effort to channel his spiritual channels, and helped him run up and down to ask about his spiritual guide.A while ago, he asked Alluka to check if there was anything wrong with this matter, but there is no reply yet.

Affected by guilt, Haifeng will stick to Xiaojie more, which is normal.

Snow Leopard, who had been walking next to the sentinel, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qi Ya.It flicked its long and slender tail, and in the gap that Qi Ya didn't see, an inconspicuous white eye rolled out of the glazed eyes.

Unaware of the subtle contempt coming from his spiritual guide, Qi Ya continued to think.

For a while, Xiaojie had no clue about what happened, he was a little upset, he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly came back to it.That's why I couldn't help but went to find Kurapika today.Although the answer I got was unsatisfactory, it was also somewhat inexplicable.

When he first took over, Xiaojie's situation was really critical, and he didn't have time to think about it too much, and it was only later that he remembered that this incident could be used to ease the relationship with Ta.

But thinking about it now, in fact, from the beginning to the end of this matter, there would be no problem even if he was not asked to handle it.

This can't help but make Qiya suspect that this incident may have been expected by Ta, so he did it on purpose, and there may be some deeper hidden truth that he and Xiaojie haven't discovered yet.

After all, although both of them are S-rank, as measured before, the combination rate is too low.To be honest, it's inconvenient to do anything with such a low binding rate.It is absolutely necessary for Qi Ya to drag Xiaojie back from the fugue. In fact, it is not too expected from a scientific point of view.Among other things, even the most common spiritual counseling can only be done with forehead to forehead, and even the spiritual union back then...

"Qi Ya? Help me get that bucket of milk over there?"

It was rare for Qi Ya to be so frightened that he shivered, and his whole breath paused.Fortunately, he was used to pretending, even if he was taken aback, his face was only tense.In the eyes of outsiders, apart from being stunned for a moment, there was nothing unusual about him, and he smoothly reached out to find the bucket of milk.He turned his eyes away and glanced at Xiaojie.The other party is immersed in picking potatoes of the right size.

Xiaojie didn't know anything about Xiao Jiujiu in Qiya's heart, and continued his great cause of picking and choosing.The basement floor of the tower is a living supermarket dedicated to the daily selection of sentinel guides. Vegetables and meat are the freshest.There were not many people at this time, so they simply pushed a cart and walked slowly from the entrance to the end.The cart was full of various yoghurts, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs, and daily necessities. Qi Ya didn’t pay attention to it just now. When he regained his senses, he took a quick glance and found several boxes of chocolates of his favorite brand inside.Not many, only three boxes.

He glanced at Xiaojie's back.He turned on the heater in the room, probably because he felt it was getting hot. The young man even threw the coat that was draped over his shoulders into the cart. The faint butterfly bone lines on the back.

Qi Ya looked away and reached out, wanting to take three more boxes of chocolates.Xiaojie picked out chocolates as if he had eyes behind his back, and said, "Qi Ya, you can't take any more chocolates. Your quantity this week has exceeded the limit."

Qiu: "..."

It's been a while.Compared with friends who have been in frequent contact for a few weeks at the beginning, this tone and restriction have surpassed politeness and reached the point of restraint.Probably because of this, Xiaojie's tone is not very serious. According to Qi Ya's usual temper, this has become a sentence that can be heard or not.

But Qi Ya touched his nose, and finally put down his hand obediently.

Sure enough, my conscience still hurts a little.

He picked up the milk, put it into the cart, and sighed inwardly: Drinking so much milk, why doesn't he grow taller than me?

Haifeng smashed his mouth where his master couldn't see, and rolled his eyes again.
