I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Hearing Xu Jiao's gentle words "Say it, I will satisfy you" at the end, Lilith blushed unceasingly, and her eyelashes trembled even more, like branches and leaves swept by a strong wind, fluttering.

She hesitated, hesitated, swayed.

Lilith thought, she couldn't say such excessive words.

The saint can save her and save her from that miserable family. She is already her benefactor. I can't pray too much. The priest in the church said that good children should not be greedy.

Should learn to be content.

This is already the happiest day in her memory, how can she be greedy for those distant things?

then.

Lilith clenched her lower lip unconsciously. On the one hand, she was forced by the pressure of Xu Jiao's words, and wanted to speak out her heart sincerely. On the other hand, she was worried that the other party would think she was greedy, and she fell into an extreme struggle.

The lips that were originally like pink roses were bitten white by her teeth.

Seeing her in such a difficult situation, Xu Jiao didn't intend to tease her, but raised her hand to touch her head, passed her fingertips through the soft hair that looked like broken gold, and finally tapped on her now fragile cheek. After a while, he said:

"All right."

"I've heard it, it doesn't matter if I don't want to say it."

"I promise you."

Promise you, I will fulfill your wish, even if you never said it.

Lilith's eyes were wide open like a deer, filled with bewilderment and incomprehension, as if she didn't understand what the saint in front of her was talking about, she just repeated the word Xu Jiao said clumsily with her tongue rolling :"hear?"

Her ending sound rises slightly, making her very cute.

If it wasn't for having such a stepmother, with her noble status, maybe she should have grown into a lively, naughty and cute little girl, she would be like a little daisy blooming in the morning sun, brilliant and eye-catching.

Xu Jiao smiled and pointed to her chest through her clothes, and said in a low voice:

"Yes."

"I can hear people's inner voices, their prayers, their wishes, everything, I can hear."

Surprise appeared on Lilith's face, as if she felt incredible. In her impression, it seems that only God can have such a magical ability, because believers are always devout and humble in front of statues, churches, and prayer rooms, Pray again and again, and God needs to listen to the hearts of believers and answer their most pious prayers.

She did not expect that the Saintess also had such abilities.

What about the popes of the major temples?

However, just as her thoughts diverged to this point, she raised her hand to cover her face, and the scorching heat entered her palm, and Lilith curled up her toes nervously.

Since the saint can hear everyone's voice...

Could it be that he could hear her too?

Then the sentence she hesitated to say just now, in fact, the saint has already heard it, right?

And the saint said, I promise you.

In other words, she really... really can afford

Want to serve the saint forever?

Lilith only felt that she was suddenly swept by a torrent called happiness, and she was willing to be in it and was swallowed by that torrent.

……

Perhaps the expression of oriental culture is more restrained.

Xu Jiao has never seen such a cute person who is even shy. Lilith's facial expressions are extremely rich, as if her eyebrows and eyes can start a show by herself and perform a wonderful tap dance.

And because the heroine was completely different from the type she wanted to portray, Xu Jiao finally had a different feeling.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

For no reason, I thought of the words Feng Qingyu said in the last world: "I am not anyone's substitute."

The heroine of her novel, originally... shouldn't be anyone's stand-in.

If it wasn't for the accident that year, Xu Jiao would not have plunged into this world called creators, nor would she have written so many protagonists who look exactly like factory replicas.

Although she didn't know whether Lilith's appearance was generated automatically by the world, or for some other reason, Xu Jiao was inexplicably relieved——

she thinks.

It's time to let go.

Forcing always leads to no good results.

The protagonists of these worlds should have their own original life trajectories. According to the development of the plot and background, they should struggle to create wonderful stories that belong to them, instead of being regarded as tattered, bad, and failed copies. While beautiful, let them perish in pain.

Lilith... the same.

She should be the title of "The Prefered She". After experiencing enough childhood hardships, the rest of her life is good, so it is only fair.

Thinking of this, she took advantage of the rare leisure and quiet around Lilith, and even lay on Lilith's lap like this, taking a nap until she was about to fall asleep.

After Lilith was nervous and shy, she lowered her head and saw Xu Jiao closing her eyes. She carefully stared at Xu Jiao's exquisite appearance, then looked away, let out a small breath, and then took a breath without a trace. , and quietly moved his gaze back.

Like a timid rabbit.

Even staring at a beautiful person, she didn't dare to look for a while longer, she was trembling, as if any disturbance at any time would scare her out of courage.

Lilith never knew that black hair and black eyes could be so good-looking. She only felt that among the oil paintings she had seen at home, none of them could depict Xu Jiao's appearance. After that, she became more courageous and looked down from Xu Jiao's eyebrows and eyes, tracing her facial features inch by inch.

Suddenly.

Xu Jiao who had her eyes closed suddenly caught

Lilith touched her slightly raised wrist, opened her eyes with a half-smile, and just met her gaze. Lilith thought she was asleep, and was startled, and instinctively wanted to back away, but her thigh was pillowed by Xu Jiao again. , I can't move even if I want to, like a small piece of wood that has been cursed with a fixation spell.

Xu Jiao stared into her eyes and asked with a smile, "Am I pretty?"

Lilith: "..."

Her cheeks started to turn red again.

After a while, Xu Jiao saw her nodding like a chick pecking at rice, and then whispered in a murmur-like tone: "You seem to be pecking at the rice."

Like the snow that never melts on the top of Keshan Mountain, it is very cold and beautiful. "

Just let people see it once, and this face will be branded on people's heads forever,

Mount Zac is the highest mountain in the miracle continent, guarding the north of the temple.

When the weather is good, you can vaguely see the top of the mountain and the snow-covered top from any end of the continent. Some people say that when God comes to the world, he will occasionally stand on the top of the mountain. Overlook the world.

Lilith has never seen God, but now that she looks at the saint, she feels that she should be at the closest place to God.

Hearing her soft praise, Xu Jiao smiled, didn't say anything, just let her look at her, just about to continue to close her eyes and sleep, when she suddenly remembered that she was still on top of her, according to Lilith's personality, she probably was My leg was so numb that I couldn't bear it, and I didn't dare to move it.

Xu Jiao sat up, moved to the side, found another pillow to cushion, and then closed her eyes.

Lilith felt the warmth move away from her body, blowing away the faint scent that she hadn't had time to distinguish like a breeze, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

She bit her lower lip again.

Thick eyelashes drooped, covering up the disappointment in her heart.

……

Xu Jiao slept peacefully at first.

Until a gust of wind blew from nowhere and brushed over her skin, making her shiver from the cold and regain consciousness.

Before she opened her eyes, she suddenly realized something was wrong——

Her eyelids were extremely thick, as if they were stuck with thick glue, and she couldn't open them no matter what, and she could feel that the breeze passing over her skin was penetrating into her clothes.

Xu Jiao felt that all the goosebumps on her arms were about to stand up.

Is this against her, or some kind of conspiracy against the Sun Temple?

She woke up instinctively, but couldn't hold back for a while, wondering what would happen next.

Followed by.

She felt the wind blowing in front of her. The wind was so cold, like blowing from an ice field, it made her hairs stand up, and the secrets hidden under the folds of her clothes also stood up.

What kind of subtle and weird feeling was that?

It obviously doesn't feel like an entity, but there is a feeling that I have been taken lightly by the wind, especially...it seems that I am not the only one in this carriage.

Xu Jiao knew that it was useless to call the system in such an ambiguous situation. Ever since she entered this world, she had the corresponding knowledge in her mind. Soon, her fingertips moved and wrote a message in the air. Come with golden words.

The scorching sun suddenly enveloped her head.

This scorching heat can dispel all dark power and haze.

For a moment, Xu Jiao felt that the heaviness covering her eyelids also disappeared, like the road surface without even a trace of water after the high temperature evaporated. She opened her eyes, and the black eyes were clear.

The light magic technique above her head was still glowing and hot. Xu Jiao sat up. She thought it was a dream just now, but the residual feeling on her body has not faded, as if she just crawled out of an ice cave. The chill in Baikui didn't even have time to drive out.

even……

After sitting up, under the neckline where the fabric overlapped, was just caught by the gust of wind.

The place where it has been touched is still sensitive and a little uncomfortable.

It is uncomfortable to rub against the cloth.

Xu Jiao first set her eyes on the heroine Lilith, but the other party was lying on the cushion under the window at the moment, sleeping soundly, drooling, as if she didn't know what was going on around her, and even went to The position of the little sun that Xu Jiao created moved slightly, as if wanting to get closer to warmth.

She stood up from her seat, without any sign of sleepiness, leaned over and stretched her five fingers, pressing them on the soft carpet with Persian patterns of the carriage, closing her eyes a little, a golden light flowed out from her fingertips, submerged in In the carpet, after she closed her eyes, she could clearly see all kinds of complicated magic circles arranged in the carriage.

Resembling golden gears, big and small, they are intertwined tightly together, and together they have built a magic circle that is both practical and defensive for the carriage.

There are detecting magic, resisting magic...

There is no problem in any part.

everything is normal.

Xu Jiao opened her eyes again and looked in the direction of the window. The wind blowing in from outside was still soft, not as cold as when she fell asleep just now, and it seemed... there was nothing unusual about it.

When she was inspecting the magic circle of the carriage just now, time had passed a little bit, perhaps because of the light magic performed by Xu Jiao, the carriage became a little hot now, and Lilith's forehead was sweating a little.

Xu Jiao raised her hand to take away the bright little sun, walked to Lilith's side, leaned over to look at this person, and asked the system:

"What are the various values ​​of the heroine at this moment?"

The system answered truthfully: "Favourability, 50, blackening value, 0."

Very normal numbers.

Given that Xu Jiao was the one who saved her life and led her into the temple, it's not surprising that her favorability suddenly soared so high.

But what happened to that weird wind just now?

Xu Jiao leaned over to observe Lilith's face carefully, and then remembered that she was different from the protagonist she had set up. After looking at it for a long time, her eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

……

at dusk.

The light outside the window gradually dimmed, and the clouds in the sky showed an extremely shocking color. Purple, blue, red, and gold were intertwined, dyeing the clouds and the sky warmly and gorgeously. The bright colors always catch people Eyeballs, reminiscent of all the beautiful things in this world, like dreams and illusions.

Lilith, who had dozed off before, had woken up now, lying on the side of the carriage window, watching the unblinking golden sunlight in the distance, and let out a small exclamation from time to time.

Xu Jiao had flown a few times before, and always chose the seat by the window, so she didn't have such an exaggerated reaction, but she had seen many

Back, Xu Jiao still admitted that this ever-changing sky with different seasons can always be so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

She is leaning on the cushion, drinking a cup of rose tea and tasting hot, fragrant waffles.

The golden cake was baked soft and fragrant, with a light creamy taste and a sweet burnt aroma, but it was a little too sweet. Xu Jiao took two bites and insisted on drinking two cups of tea.

She didn't touch this snack again until Lilith finished watching the sunset, and when the sun set in the sky and the darkness swept in, she turned her head and asked Xu Jiao:

"Saint, why does this world have night? Isn't it always bright?"

When Xu Jiao heard her question, she also looked out of the window. She slightly curled her lips, as if she was thinking about it. After a long time, until Lilith was getting nervous, she asked back: "What are you talking about?" Don't like the night?"

Lilith considered her words, as if she was worried that she might make Xu Jiao laugh at something she said wrongly, but under Xu Jiao's encouraging gaze, she bravely spoke up:

"Because... darkness is always bad, isn't it?"

Xu Jiao smiled at her, looked out the window, and found that there were stars appearing in the night sky now, there was no air pollution in the Miracle Continent, and the Milky Way was naturally shining brightly, and now she could vaguely glimpse the magnificent scene a few hours later.

She sat beside Lilith, and pointed out the window to her: "Look——"

Lilith's gaze followed where her finger was pointing, and then she saw a silver light flying out from Xu Jiao's fingertips, and the light fell into the sky. The originally dim starlight suddenly seemed to have gained some power It became brighter, the sky that was originally sparse and diamond-like, suddenly seemed to be lit up like a long dragon, with a river of stars running through it, and it was full of splendor.

Lilith couldn't help but said, "Oh..."

But it's not over yet!

The stars in the sky did not know what kind of fingerprints they received, but they fell from one place to another quickly. At first, there were only one or two crumbling stars, then three, five...

Until the stars all over the night sky brushed and fell.

There was a huge meteor shower.

The silver light flickered, shattering people's eyes.

Such a scene is no longer a miracle, it can be called a miracle.

Only God has this power.

Andrew and the guards outside the door also exclaimed in praise.

Lilith's eye sockets were inexplicably wet, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, she didn't dare to make a sound, she didn't dare to blink her eyes, she didn't want to miss this unprecedented scene, she just stared blankly.

When the stars are all gone—

next moment.

The pitch-black starry sky was suddenly filled with dazzling array of stars.

Like the previous scenes never happened.

The stars twinkled mischievously, as if playing a little joke with the people in Miracle Continent.

Xu Jiao's voice slowly rang in Lilith's ears: "It is because of the existence of darkness that people know how to cherish the light."

Lilith nodded vigorously and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Today's scene shocked her greatly. She felt that she would never forget it. She whispered

Said to Xu Jiao:

"Thank you for your teaching."

Xu Jiao smiled, shook her head, replied that it was nothing, and then resumed her calm expression, as if everything that happened just now did not come from her hands, and the golden carriage continued in this silvery galaxy. Running, flashing golden streamers in the air.

……

That night.

Lilith carefully ate four or five waffles, and there was only half a cup of rose tea in the cup, so she didn't drink it, but fell asleep lying on a golden pillow with a small belch.

Xu Jiao watched her sleeping from the side.

I do not know how long it has been--

Xu Jiao couldn't help being affected by the drowsiness, and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage.

In the thin porcelain cup carved with golden patterns, the light red tea seemed to possess a soul. It slipped out of the cup without a sound, jumped onto the table, and then, like jelly, crawled across the carpet and fell down along Xu Jiao's path. The skirt goes all the way up.

The light red is gone.

The sleeping man frowned.

……
