When she turned around, a light and mischievous smile was raised on the corner of her mouth.

Hu Tao sneaked quietly behind the tree, poked her head out a little, and the two plum blossoms in her eyes quietly stared at Zhong Li who was sleeping under the tree.

"Hmph. What's Zhongli like when he's asleep?"

"Hey, let the hall master come and take a good look!"

In a daze, Hu Tao walked in front of Zhongli with footsteps like a butterfly touching a flower.

But looking at the man who was very familiar to her at a close distance, Hu Tao's eyes gradually became a little stunned.

Fragments of sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the shade of the trees, and lightly fell on Zhongli's rock-like calm face, and the firm curves on his face were clearly outlined.

Slightly embracing his arms with both hands, and slightly bending his left leg, this Mr. Liyue is well-known to everyone, and has been invited by the Pastoral Hall for many years.At this moment, she was sleeping peacefully under the tree in front of Walnut.

And defenseless.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

"Yaoshou, there are ruin guards coming."

After tentatively asking a few words, Hu Tao leaned forward slightly, put his hand on his mouth and yelled softly.

But there was no answer.

"It was really a deep sleep."

Hu Tao put his hands on his knees and bent down, looking at him carefully.

"Zhongli was so quiet when he fell asleep, exactly the same as the solemn and gentle him in the past

"If you play a prank now and wake Zhongli up, will he be angry?"

"Absolutely not, he has such a good temper."

"It's the first time to look at Zhongli so closely."

For some reason, Hu Tao turned her head a little awkwardly.

Her somewhat flustered face was covered in a light red color.

"Oh. It feels a bit uncomfortable to just stare at Zhongli so much."

"Huh? Is it about to fall when I raise my eyes? How long have I been looking at it!"

"It's getting late, do you want to wake him up?"

"walnut."

At this moment, a faint call suddenly spread into Hu Tao's ear and amplified.

Hu Tao clearly heard that it was Zhongli's voice.

"I 域....i 千 i 千 i 千!!"

is he awake?

Or did you just look at yourself all the time? !

Hu Tao was in a panic until she noticed that Zhong Li's eyes were still closed.

"It turned out to be a dream..."

"But having said that, that serious Zhongli will also talk in his sleep."

"And... still calling my name."

"々' Didn't you think of my body coming out of the bath?"

"Did you...stand up?"

Bu Hutao blushed inexplicably, and quietly lowered her eyes.

Naturally, it is impossible to be refreshed there.

"So sorry..."

Wait, it's strange that Zhongli will stand up!What the hell are you thinking about? !

Suddenly Zhong Li's body shook slightly, he leaned forward slowly, his arms seemed to hug something, accompanied by a murmur:

"Hall master... no, let you get hurt again."

"I will always be here to protect you."

"In the name of the contract, I swear."

Hu Tao stared blankly at Zhong Li who suddenly hugged her.

"…Ha ha."

After a long time of self-deprecating shy laughter, slowly came out from the embarrassed girl's mouth.

Her face was clearly glowing red. I don't know if it was due to the sunset glow high in the sky at this moment, or the happiness overflowing from the bottom of my heart.

"Hey. Does Zhongli like me too..."

"It's really embarrassing (money is okay) to call my name in my dreams."

Hu Tao shyly moved her body slowly towards Zhongli's arms.

A faint smile also bloomed wantonly on her face.

"So be it."

She leaned lightly on Zhongli's shoulder, and closed her plum-like eyes in satisfaction.

The long night has fallen.

A setting sun spreads across the sea, and the clouds are rustling and red.

Under the evening glow, two figures, one tall and one short, a man and a woman, are lingeringly attached to each other under this tree.

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

"Hall Master...Mao"

Zhongli met in a dream.

The butterfly's wings were broken.

The petals of the plum blossom are on the verge of withering.

Then lay the butterfly-like girl quietly in his arms.

The dark red blood flowing from the lowered hand was as silent as the blood that was about to freeze from the girl's body.

Inexplicably, his face was a little wet.

"Still can't protect important people?"

"Just like back then.

Chapter 5 The Dreamer

Where is this body.

Miserably between.

Xu is a dream, Xu is reality.

The woman with the big sleeves like light smoke just stood quietly at the end of Zhongli's gaze.

At a glance, it is a sea of ​​flowers.

"That is..."

Perhaps it wasn't an illusion, following a certain instinct and impulse, Zhong Liliu walked towards the somewhat pale shadow.

And the vague consciousness also began to sink, such as in the blurred sea of ​​white flowers around that person.

"You are..."

Finally getting closer to the figure with the big sleeves, Zhongli's heart of stone began to beat uneasy, rapid and rhythmic for some reason.

Standing still with slightly restless steps, Zhongli raised his hand intending to touch the wisp of smoke.

As if sensing Zhongli's gaze, the woman who looked like the moon in the water turned around gracefully.

Her beautiful cheeks, like smoke, mist, and illusion, also flashed into Zhongli's pupils in an instant.

Frayed memories surged up like a tide.

"It's you."

Eye sockets were sore for some reason, Zhong Li's voice was a little hoarse, and there were bursts of longing in his words.

How could he not recognize the woman with big sleeves in front of him.

"Monarch...Morax."

While meditating, the woman quietly looked at 843 Zhongli with a bright smile on her face.

She spoke first.

With an almost sad voice.

"No. Now, I should call you 'Zhongli', right?"

Zhongli didn't answer.

The pupils vibrated slightly.

As if he couldn't believe it, he stopped his unstoppable pace and walked towards the woman who could not catch it.

At this moment, thousands of thoughts and feelings are gathered together, and there is only one sentence that was finally uttered by him unintentionally.

"Long time no see.

At that moment, several scarlet images flashed through my mind.

On the broken land shrouded in flames of war and gunpowder smoke.

The elemental power is wantonly churning in the air, like clouds and fog, immeasurable.

In the air that was stained red with blood, in his arms was the woman's dying body.
