The actor's domestic plush

There are about a dozen people who eat at night, plus the patrol brothers who stayed in the camp. Duan Zhixu has never cooked for so many people at one time, but the challenge equals greater motivation.

On weekdays, two local aunts cook for them. Their English is not very smooth, and Duan Zhixu does not know the local language. When cooking, the three of them can only use simple English and body language to communicate. The effect is surprisingly good.

In the evening, Duan Zhixu worked smoothly with the aunts to make a large table of Chinese food. The dishes he brought were not enough, so he had to use the original ones from the camp, but after Duan Zhixu carefully arranged the dishes, the effect was still very good.

When the last dish was served, everyone could not wait to sit in a circle, waiting for the table to start.

The time they spent together wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either. Except for Tu Shu, Duan Zhixu was the most familiar with Edith among these people, and they were curious about each other, but they hadn't had in-depth contact with the others.

But even if they didn't talk too much, they usually don't show up, and when they see Duan Zhixu alone, they will enthusiastically ask if they need help, if they want to play together, and they will take care of his taste when eating. etc.

Duan Zhixu was grateful to these people who were kind to him.

He cooked this meal with great care.

Duan Zhixu put the last dish on the table, and when he was about to sit down, he found that there was only Tu Yu and Edith between him, and there was an empty seat for him.

He paused, but finally sat down.

Duan Zhixu is not very good at talking about scenes, but fortunately, it is not like in China, where various toasts are required to toast, and everyone will start eating and drinking after the staff arrives.

The wine was brewed by a colleague here. Duan Zhixu had never tasted it before. It tasted a little sweet and had a very familiar fruity aroma, but he didn't know what it was after tasting it for a few sips.

Duan Zhi Xu asked, but the crowd refused to tell him, and let him guess by himself.No way, he took a few more sips, but still didn't drink it.

Tu Shu said: "Let's eat some food first, don't get drunk, this drink has a strong aftertaste."

Duan Zhixu put down the cup slowly, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

This is the first sentence they have spoken since they came back.

Duan Zhixu didn't like this feeling, it was too embarrassing, as if when sitting together, the air around him was suffocating.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people at the dinner table, everyone was chattering, and the atmosphere was lively, and the charm of Chinese food was endless everywhere, and everyone was full of praise for Duan Zhixu's craftsmanship.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became even more heated. Even Edith, who was normally steady, blushed, and dragged Duan Zhixu to look at the photos.

It was of Edith and a lovely little girl of about seven or eight years old.

"This is my daughter," said Edith.

"It looks very similar to you, so cute." Duan Zhixu said, the little girl in the photo has a rosy face and a very sweet smile, almost exactly the same as Edith.

Edith was also laughing, but her eye sockets were very red. Duan Zhixu glanced at her, and his heart sank, realizing that Edith's expression was not happy.

"I haven't seen her for almost ten years." Edith smiled ugly, she turned her head and said to Duan Zhixu, "This photo shows her when she was eight years old, and she is eighteen this year."

Duan Zhixu opened his mouth, he was a little afraid of facing such a situation, and he didn't know how to answer at all.

Instinctively, Duan Zhixu looked back at Tu Shu.

Turning around, he found that Tu Yu had been looking at him quietly the whole time.

Duan Zhixu looked away in embarrassment.

Tuyu's voice came from behind Duan Zhixu: "Edith, you're drunk."

Edith lowered her head, agreed softly, and took a while to put the photo back in her arms. When she looked up again, she looked the same as usual.

Edith said to Duan Zhixu: "I'm a little sleepy, go back to my room to rest first, thank you for your hospitality today, it's very delicious."

Duan Zhixu shook his head: "I just want to thank you for taking care of me."

Edith stood up, patted Duan Zhixu on the head, turned and left.

Duan Zhixu sat on the seat, looking at Edith's back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Tu Yu suddenly said: "Her daughter is not dead."

Duan Zhixu turned around: "What?"

Tu Shu looked into Duan Zhixu's eyes: "I said her daughter is alive and well."

Duan Zhixu asked: "Then why? Is it because it is inconvenient to work here? It shouldn't be."

Tu Shu said: "Because she divorced her ex-husband, the court awarded her daughter to her ex-husband, and she was not allowed to see her daughter."

Duan Zhixu's eyes widened: "Why?"

Tu Yu said, "Because Edith is determined to be mentally ill and aggressive, it will affect the child's physical and mental health."

Duan Zhixu was very surprised: "How is it possible! Edith is so good, and during the time I spent with her, I didn't see any problems with her at all."

Tu Shu: "Because she was 'reported' to have a mental illness, not really."

Duan Zhixu was a little confused.

Tu Yu sighed: "Her ex-husband domestically abused her, not the kind of physical violence you think, but mental violence. Under the long-term violence, Edith has emotional expression barriers, and her personality is completely different from now , a little neurotic. And her ex-husband is a lawyer and looks good in front of people, so no one believes Edith's words."

Duan Zhixu's whole body trembled.

Domestic violence, domestic violence again.

"When the divorce was awarded, her ex-husband presented evidence that she had a mental illness, plus some other reasons, and in the end you also knew." Tu Shu said.

Duan Zhixu pursed his lips, feeling very explosive.

"Then now, why not appeal?" Duan Zhixu asked.

Tu Shu looked at Duan Zhixu, but asked, "Then what about you, why did you plan to just leave at the beginning, let the surname Ye smear you, and didn't use legal weapons to protect yourself."

Duan Zhixu's face turned pale.

Tu Yu said, "I also want to know why you are all like this, and are so kind to those who have hurt you."

Tu Yu turned his head and took a sip of wine, and said in a low voice, "I really don't understand."

Duan Zhixu is like a frozen sculpture, long after Tu Yu finished saying that sentence, he hasn't moved a bit.

He seemed to be frozen in place, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In the end, Tu Yu grabbed Duan Zhixu's hand and led him away from that place, and Duan Zhixu staggered to move.

Tu Yu dragged Duan Zhixu to the plain.

At night here, you can see the stars all over the sky, which is completely different from that in the city. There are no people or animals around, only the rustling wind and boundless loneliness.

Duan Zhixu suddenly said, "Turn me into a fox."

Tu Shu: "...Huh?"

Duan Zhixu looked at the starry sky above his head: "I don't want to be a human right now."

This was the first time Tu Shu had heard this request, but he had no reason to refuse. Soon, a red fox and an white fox appeared on the grass.

Duan Zhixu lay next to Tu Shu, their hair tangled together, feeling warm.

"Let me ask you a question." Duan Zhixu said, "If one day, the person you are closest to and loves the most becomes a devil and starts to hurt you continuously, what will you do? For example, Tu Tu, like Tu Yong Sui."

Tu Shu: "..."

Duan Zhixu smiled: "Look, you said you don't understand us, but in fact you are the same as us."

Tu Shu said bluntly: "It's not the same, they can't beat me."

Duan Zhixu said: "What if what they did was not a beating, but something else, which deeply hurt your heart and encroached on your interests, or they did something that violated moral laws, such as killing all the people here. Animals that you do your best to protect. It doesn’t take physical violence to hurt you.”

Tu Yu said in a muffled voice, "You're making unreasonable words, that's not the case."

"What's the difference? Are you really willing to arrest them with your own hands and put them in prison?" Duan Zhixu put the emphasis on the word "by your own hands".

Tu Yu didn't speak for a while, but when he spoke again, what he said was: "I will. If they really did something wrong, they should pay for what they did, and they have to bear it responsibility."

"Everyone I love, including you, before I love you, you are all your own free individuals, so no matter what decision you make, you have to bear the consequences of this decision."

Tu Shu added: "Duan Zhixu, if one day you do something outrageous, I won't let you go."

Duan Zhixu laughed.

Tu Shu said: "But, Duan Zhixu. But if there is such a day, I will go with you wherever you go. If you are caught by me and taken to prison, then I will go to prison with you."

Duan Zhixu... Duan Zhixu is already stupid.

It took him a while to find his voice, but he didn't know what to say.

But Duan Zhixu knew very well that at this moment, he really wanted to throw himself into Tu Shu's arms, and tell Tu Shu with a kiss how much he was moved.

pity.

He is a fox now.

Duan Zhixu finally said, "You secretly changed the concept."

Tu Shu smiled: "So what."

Duan Zhixu: "Love will disappear. When love is exhausted in the hurt, what you said will not be true."

Tu Shu shook his head: "But I am a fox demon, the love of a fox demon will never dissipate, don't you know?"

Duan Zhixu said with a smile: "I'm a human being, people are the easiest to change their minds, don't you know?"

Tu Shu also laughed: "If you change your mind, I will dig your heart out."

Duan Zhixu: "..."

Tu Yu laughed loudly: "I'm lying to you, how can I bear it."

Duan Zhixu didn't think that Tu Yu was joking.

Tu Yu said: "If you change your mind, it means that I met people unkindly, and I will not blame you. But I will not let you have a chance to change your mind. I am very confident in myself."

Duan Zhixu just laughed.

Tu Yu: "Duan Zhixu, we are discussing whether you will change your mind."

Duan Zhixu: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Tu Yu: "The prerequisite for changing your heart is to be tempted. Do you already like me?"

Duan Zhixu: "..."

With a wave of Tu Shu's paw, the two of them turned back into humans, lying on the ground sideways looking at each other.

Tu Yu reached out and tapped the tip of Duan Zhixu's nose: "Try it with me, okay?"

Before Duan Zhixu refused, Tu Yu said: "Duan Zhixu, I am different from others. I have lived for more than 5000 years. I have seen all kinds of ghosts and snakes. I am very clear about your scruples. I can be very clear. To tell you, I don't care, and I hope you don't, that's not a thing at all."

"I know that it is very difficult to give trust, so you don't have to trust me completely from the beginning, that's okay, we will have endless years to prove whether I am worthy of your trust."

"From now on, let me protect you, okay? Everything will be borne by you and me together."

Duan Zhixu stared at Tu Shu's eyes.

Red gold, like a gorgeous sun.

In the painting under the starry sky, countless sparkling lights are reflected in the eyes, like stars falling into the sea full of sunset.

The water waves are rippling, it is so peaceful and distant, it is fascinating.

He leaned forward slightly, looking at himself who was getting closer in the sea.

Like a tourist who is about to fall into the sea, willingly falling into the unknown abyss.

Perhaps, waiting for him is another death.

But in the future, who knows.

Duan Zhixu's eyelashes trembled slightly, at least at the very beginning, what he felt was the warmth between his lips and teeth.

It's the splendor of the starry night.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support.

Tu Jingyi: Are these two people really okay?How can someone say 'If you go to jail, then I will go in to accompany you' when confessing!Is the eldest brother going to die, but the senior was so moved that he offered to offer a kiss orz, niubility at the end, I don't understand this world, I don't understand...
