Guardian oath

Gui Lan felt that her heart might really jump out of her throat.He forced a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where's the male killer?"

Qing Xiao originally thought that Gui Lan might not be able to talk to him anymore, after all, he saw himself murdering someone with his own eyes, so it was impossible for him to be indifferent.So he was stunned before answering: "I escaped, and I will hand it over to the special forces lurking at the station to deal with."

Then he saw Gui Lan pursing her white lips, she seemed to be planning to raise her eyes to look at him, but finally her eyes fixed on his chest, and she asked in a calmer voice, "Is that person dead?"

"Hmm." Qing Xiao didn't need to confirm, even without electronic pupil correction, he was still very accurate.It's impossible to survive being shot in the heart at that distance.

"..." Gui Lan didn't speak, but held the pendant tightly through her clothes.

Although he felt cold all over, he knew that now was not the time to be weak. If he didn't pull himself together, it would drag Qing Xiao down and put his parents in danger.

No matter what, he must protect the chip and never let it be taken away.In any case, he would not allow his parents to be harmed.

The cool touch of the pendant stuck to her collarbone, Gui Lan made up her mind, this time she successfully met Qing Xiao's eyes.

"You...will definitely rescue Mom and Dad, right?"

Gui Lan's shadow was clearly reflected in those deep purple eyes.

"Yes." Then he heard Qing Xiao answer.

Even though they have only known each other for less than four hours, Gui Lan somehow feels that what Qing Xiao said must be believed.Although he was still very scared, he felt more or less relieved, and finally a smile appeared on his stiff face.

Sitting down in the corner seat, the clear sky is seen outside the window of the smoothly moving train, dyeing a large area of ​​blue for the high-rise buildings with glass outer walls.With a sense of sadness that "it might be the last time to see such a scenery", Gui Lan leaned against the window, looking at the scenery that he was used to for a long time.Before today, he had never seriously thought about the issue of life and death, but now he realized how precious the peaceful life he thought was boring in the past was.In the bright and beautiful corners of the city, how many deaths he didn't know were filled with every day?How does a person like Qing Xiao fight with his life to protect people who know nothing like him?

"Are you okay?" Perhaps because she was not sure whether Gui Lan was really all right, Qing Xiao asked after being silent for a long time.

"Eh? I'm fine." Gui Lan looked away and smiled at Qing Xiao.

Qing Xiao didn't take the initiative to care about people's characters, and this was already his limit.So he turned his attention back to his surroundings, while listening to the reports of his comrades through the built-in earphones.

"...Remember to pay attention to the little angel's emotions." After listening to everyone's report, Li Mingcheng additionally told Qing Xiao.Li Mingcheng, like Qing Xiao, is a typical cold-hearted soldier. It is very strange for him to say this code name. Qing Xiao has no idea why he gave Gui Lan such a code name.He suppressed the subtle feeling in his heart, turned his gaze back to Gui Lan, and found that he was rummaging through the gray canvas bag again, and then took out a box of matcha biscuits.

Qing Xiao remembers that he helped Guilan find this box of biscuits.Two hours ago, he put it together with a large pile of energy bars, jerky and the like and pushed it into the meeting room where eating and drinking were strictly forbidden, but he didn't expect it to appear here again.

"Eat?" Gui Lan noticed that Qing Xiao was looking at him, and very friendly turned the side that opened her mouth to Qing Xiao.

Under Qing Xiao's silent gaze, Gui Lan turned the biscuit box back three seconds later and started eating by herself.

Maybe eating is a calm way for Gui Lan, although Qing Xiao can't quite understand it, but after Gui Lan finished eating a box of biscuits, he obviously felt that Gui Lan's face was much better, not as pale as before.

Gui Lan deliberately didn't mention the matter of the person who died at the station, and Qing Xiao didn't want to discuss this topic too much, so they ate and watched one by one, and the atmosphere fell into a rare harmony, blending happily with the surrounding families with their children. One.

The moment Gui Lan pulled up her schoolbag, Qing Xiao saw that what was inside was no longer books and computers, but all kinds of snacks.Qing Xiao has been able to take it easy, he even thinks that the person in front of him may have been packed according to the standard of travel.

...Maybe that's fine too.

Surrounded by the sound of people talking in low voices, the air is full of sweet smell, and occasionally there is the sound of children giggling.Qing Xiao hadn't felt such a relaxed atmosphere for a long time. He looked at Gui Lan who was wearing soft-colored clothes in front of him, and his mood softened unconsciously.

There are so many people living comfortably, so it means that everything he has done so far is still meaningful, right?Those comrades-in-arms who have frozen their lives in the past forever will feel relieved, right?

Gui Lan turned her head from the window, and saw Qing Xiao looking at him with unexpectedly soft eyes.

But that gaze only lasted for a moment, and when Gui Lan met his gaze, the softness in Qing Xiao's eyes immediately dissipated, returning to a cold look.He blinked, as if asking "what's wrong".

"Take off the mask? We're already in the car, others will think it's weird..." No one wears a mask indoors this season, Gui Lan thought about it, and finally said it out.He felt that he might have read it wrong, because of wearing a mask, the emotion in Qing Xiao's eyes seemed to be much more obvious.

Qing Xiao obviously had no common sense in life, and only after being reminded by Gui Lan did he realize something was wrong, and he lowered his eyelashes unnaturally, and took off the mask.

When he raised his head, he found that Gui Lan was leaning against the window again, looking at the rapidly retreating scenery in a good mood.The train was passing through the meadow full of wildflowers, and the blue sky with few clouds was a sea of ​​pink and purple flowers. Many people were already taking selfies while marveling with their mobile phones.

"It's a pity, the phone was confiscated." Gui Lan was obviously looking for the phone subconsciously, only to realize that in order not to reveal his whereabouts, he now has nothing but a bracelet terminal that can't connect to the Internet. It's like going back to ancient times.Unable to take a photo, Gui Lan had no choice but to look at it seriously, trying to remember this scene deeply.

"It's really beautiful." Gui Lan sighed softly, and in the next second, those big almond eyes looked towards Qing Xiao, "This is the first time for me to take a sightseeing train, and I didn't know it was so beautiful before." .you too?"

Before Qing Xiao could answer, Gui Lan continued to sigh with emotion in a low voice, her eyes were shining brightly because of the light outside the window, "That's great, is that the sea?"

Qing Xiao followed his words and glanced out of the window, and found that there was a thin smear of azure blue on the horizon near the horizon in the distance of the sea of ​​flowers.In the distance that cannot be seen with Guilan's eyesight, there are seabirds flying in the sky far away.

is it beautiful?

The life of a special soldier is quite monotonous, and Qing Xiao has nothing to do with hedonism at all. To be honest, this is the first time he has seen real wild flowers and the sea right in front of him.Unfamiliar and warm emotions welled up in her heart, Qing Xiao didn't dare to relax her vigilance, she only glanced at it and then looked away.

Gui Lan's soft smile suddenly came into view, and that warmth instantly turned into a scorching hotness that surprised him.

If this feeling is due to the beautiful scenery...then the person in front of me is more...

Sensing what she was thinking, Qing Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and her hands in her pockets were tightly clenched, not daring to look at Gui Lan's face again.

When Qing Xiao calmed down his heartbeat and raised his head again, he realized that Gui Lan had stopped talking to himself at some point, leaning against the glass in an unbelievably quiet manner, with a sadness that Qing Xiao could not understand in his eyes .

The train drove out of the sea of ​​flowers, the rails passed close to the sea, and the snow-white waves almost rushed to the window, so close at hand.

The warm sunlight shone on Guilan's face.Qing Xiao looked at Gui Lan and finally couldn't hold back and closed his eyes. This time, he didn't realize that he had been staring at the opposite person for an unknown amount of time, and he still watched quietly like this.
