The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

Xia Zhiming stayed with Ye Zhao for one night.He probably hadn't had a good rest for too long, and basically fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and when he woke up, it was already morning.

Ye Zhao was setting dishes and chopsticks in the dining room. When Nie Renyan discovered his conscience last night, he took the initiative to give up the big bed in the guest room to Xia Zhiming, and went to sleep on the sofa in the study. Turn a blind eye to the behavior of rubbing and touching opportunities.

He was taken aback when he saw Xia Zhiming open the door and come out of the guest room, then he looked up at the clock on the wall, and said, "You're so tired, why don't you sleep more, it's still early."

Xia Zhiming shook his head: "I've had enough sleep, and I've been doing this for many years, so I'm used to it." As he spoke, he walked into the bathroom.

In this season, there are heating facilities in the house so it is very warm, but the water is still quite icy, and the moment it is splashed on the face, even the last bit of drowsiness is wiped out.

After washing up and returning to the dining room, he saw that the porridge and side dishes had been set on the table, but the two of them were not eating—Ye Zhao was sitting, and Nie Renyan was standing opposite him leaning over, holding Ye Zhao's chin with his hand .

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, what are you two doing so early in the morning? Do I have to avoid it?" He thought Nie Renyan would say something like "Nonsense, so get out of here after breakfast or you will get needle eyes" or something like that , but he replied in a serious manner: "Ye Zhao's eyes are a bit strange in color, take a look."

"Huh?" Xia Zhiming sneered as he walked towards him, "How can you blame the color of your eyes, you are taking advantage of this opportunity."

Nie Renyan gently pinched Ye Zhao's chin and directed him towards the kitchen.The sliding glass door was open, allowing the light from the kitchen window to shine right in.

Although it is cloudy outside today, the sun is very weak.But it is still uncomfortable for the eyes to face the light directly in the morning.Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes, then frowned and stared at Nie Renyan.

Nie Renyan comforted him, "This angle is more obvious." Just as he was speaking, Xia Zhiming also stood beside Ye Zhao, leaning over and staring into his eyes for a while.

"Hiss—that's weird." Xia Zhiming said.

Ye Zhao was watched by the two of them for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he was immediately upset.He stretched out his hand and patted Nie Renyan's paws away, then sat up straight and looked at them with a blank expression.

Nie Renyan immediately sat back in his seat and said, "Um, the color next to your pupils is weird. It used to be brown. Although the color is lighter, it's not like it is today."

"Well, it looks more like..." Xia Zhiming also sat down, took a sip of the porridge in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "It looks like gold. It's just a little brighter than shredded tobacco. Anyway, it's very special .”

Ye Zhao looked at the two of them and thought it was funny: "It's light brown, isn't it normal for it to be brighter when it's illuminated?"

"No." Xia Zhiming shook his head, "You can see it now if you're not facing the light, but it's not as obvious as before. You'll know it by yourself, it's not because of the light."

Ye Zhao got up and went to the mirror to take a look, only to realize that the two of them hadn't exaggerated indiscriminately, they were really a very special color.Maybe it's because there is no light here, so it's not as bright as they said, but a kind of dark gold, around the pupil, and slowly transitions to a normal light brown when it reaches the edge.It looked like the dark gold was overflowing from the depths.

"How could this be?" Ye Zhao frowned and went back to the table to sit down.

Nie Renyan picked up a refreshing side dish with chopsticks for him, "Eat it quickly, it will get cold later."

Xia Zhiming also thought it was quite strange: "Didn't you find out before?"

"No. I've never paid much attention to the color of my eyes."

"That's right." Xia Zhiming nodded, took the last mouthful of porridge, and then reached out to scoop up half a bowl with a spoon, "Who is always watching this when they have nothing to do?"

"Me." As a result, Nie Renyan slowly interjected: "I'm sure, his eyes were normal yesterday."

Ye Zhao: "..."

Xia Zhiming: "..."

"By the way, let's talk about eye color." Xia Zhiming remembered something and said to Ye Zhao, "Do you still remember that little yellow-haired girl in our class when we were both in junior high school?"

"Huh?" Ye Zhao was stunned, then nodded after thinking about it, "I remember, what's wrong?"

Nie Renyan only met them in high school, so he didn't know much about their junior high school, mainly because the two rarely recalled the past.As soon as they mentioned the little girl, and Ye Zhao still remembered it, he immediately pricked up his ears: "Young girl with yellow hair? What little girl with yellow hair?" You know, Ye Zhao is severely face-blind, and it's hard to remember what to say to her. He doesn't meet many people.

Xia Zhiming was speechless: "Why are you reacting so loudly? That little girl has really yellow hair. It is said that she was originally from Russia, but she was put at the door of her adoptive parents when she was a child, and she has been living here since then. It was a typical case until junior high school. Blonde hair and those bright blue eyes."

"Oh—" Nie Renyan suddenly realized that it was so special, no wonder Ye Zhao could remember it too.

"Last time," Xia Zhiming recalled, "probably a few months ago, I saw her. To be precise, she recognized me first and greeted me, saying she was a classmate. I It took me a long time to realize who she is."

"Why did you react for a long time?" Ye Zhao was puzzled, "Shouldn't it be easy to recognize?"

Xia Zhiming said: "That's what I want to say. She has brown hair now, and her eyes have also turned brown. At first glance, she looks no different from a normal little girl with dyed hair, except that her skin is obviously fairer."

"It's changed so much?" Nie Renyan said "tsk tsk" twice, "It is estimated that the water and soil will change, and the people raised will be different."

"Well, she said so herself." Xia Zhiming looked at Ye Zhao again and joked, "I guess you are similar, maybe the water and soil have changed now, but your reaction is bigger."

None of the three took it too seriously.After eating, Xia Zhiming said that he was going to the hotel to take the two boys in his group back to the police station.Ye Zhao picked up the keys and planned to drive him off, but Nie Renyan insisted on following.

Ye Zhao felt a little puzzled.In the past years, although Nie Renyan seemed very possessive and domineering, he actually respected Ye Zhao's own space very much. After all, both of them are big men with many things to do. follow.

In fact, these past few days, Ye Zhao had a faint feeling that Nie Renyan... was a bit strange, but he couldn't say exactly what was wrong.

Maybe it's been a long time since they have been together day and night, so the two of them are not used to it...

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao didn't investigate further.
