Qiao Ruiqing held her breath and walked in the dark forest, feeling a little beating in her heart.Before going out, he weighed his left and right sides, and finally took a step.

Just in case, he left a note in the house, stating clearly that all actions were on his own and all responsibilities were his own.

This way, Arnold shouldn't be implicated, right?

The harsh climate finally gave Qiao Ruiqing the real feeling of "returning to the deserted star": the sky was still clear during the recording of the program during the day, but at night it began to blow cold winds and snowflakes.The road under his feet is still familiar to him, but this is the first time he has gone out at night on the barren star - you must know that the low temperature at night on this planet can sometimes kill insects.

I don't know if it was Qiao Ruiqing's illusion, he felt that the streets became more desolate after the collection, and even the barren star characteristic taverns that could be seen everywhere disappeared completely.

The desolate star that has lost its dim light is like a gnawing insect.

Qiao Ruiqing wrapped her coat tightly and stepped forward, covering her mouth and nose to keep out the smoke and wind.Southwest Lane was not far away, through the jungle, but the poor road conditions along the way were starting to leave him out of breath.

The cold wind blew, the branches above his head rattled and shook, and snow foam fell on Qiao Ruiqing's head and face.

Or take a rest and move on.He remembered that there was a well-known shop not far away, and he wondered if he could give him a place to stay.

In theory, you should be able to see the general outline of the store here.Qiao Ruiqing squinted her eyes and searched in the heavy frost and snow, and finally managed to see a tattered wooden sign trembling in the wind.

The wooden sign hangs danglingly on a branch, and only half of it remains; the shop name that was originally painted with a large pen is now barely visible with only three dots of water left.

When he got closer, he realized that the store had long been empty.Without regular maintenance, the small building quickly became a dilapidated ruin in the harsh climate, and there was not even half a bug.

Qiao Ruiqing stroked the brittle wall, and suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable sadness in her heart.This vibrant planet was sentenced to death at the moment of incorporation, and the buildings without lights are silent tombstones; and now it is pulled out for publicity, it is a huge and hollow memorial service.

The cold wind shuttled among the ruins, whimpering and whimpering.

"Thanks Empire! Life is better now..." they said.

"Thank you for your great sacrifice and contribution to the empire. Let's go to the ground now, shut up and don't be angry, don't be sad..." Qiao Ruiqing heard.

Do they want to seal the mouths of all worms like this!

Qiao Ruiqing wanted to shout, but he could only take a deep breath; he turned back to the main road and continued walking towards Southwest Lane.Old Peter said the rest of the worms were there, he thought, so hope was there too.

But as soon as he took two steps, Qiao Ruiqing heard an ominous "creak" sound from above his head.He raised his head, and saw that only a small section of the roof was left with cracks that were shocking.

The snow blocks smashed down.

It's going to collapse!He said "Run, run" three hundred times in his mind, but his legs didn't move at all.In desperation, he tried to mobilize his muscles, but instead tripped himself to the ground.

Qiao Ruiqing sat down on the ground and watched the bricks, stones and tiles falling down mixed with ice and snow, as if in slow motion.The first thought that popped up in my heart was "It really made Arnold crow his mouth"——

"Get out of here!" He heard a familiar voice shout at the very moment.

Then he was thrown to the ground by a strong insect and pushed several meters away. "Are you stupid! Just stand there and wait—" the worm shouted.

Qiao Ruiqing was lying on the ground, and the hero who fell from the sky was half lying on top of him.They were so close that Qiao Ruiqing's red hair, which was half long and not short, could be blown by Qiao Ruiqing's breath; his chest was pressed against his chest, and his overly intense heartbeat seemed like two worms were beating on the same drum.

Arno followed?As soon as he recognized this "hero", Qiao Ruiqing suddenly felt a sense of security, and suddenly felt wronged.

Please don't get me wrong, he won't just say a few words about being fierce, and besides, it's his own death.Just in familiar places and familiar insects, in this situation, people are right and wrong.

In the past, I went to carry on.Now I come to think.

"Uh, why are you... crying, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Qiao Ruiqing didn't realize that his tears had frozen into ice balls until A Nuo stammered and began to apologize.

But he went straight up and hugged A Nuo's arm, and buried his head down: "They made my home like this...they made our home like this..."

Qiao Ruiqing didn't hold back his crying.

Not without embarrassment, especially when he and Arnold just had a little bit of trouble not long ago.But who cares about such a little face emotionally.

Qiao Ruiqing regretted it, why didn't she come back to see it immediately.He also regretted that he had filmed war propaganda for such a long time, and invisibly inserted so many knives into the chest of his hometown.

Fortunately, Arnold understood the unspeakable sorrow, he fell silent, and patted Qiao Ruiqing's back again and again, as if coaxing a child.

"I thought you had changed before. Those nonsense speeches and testimonials..." When Qiao Ruiqing calmed down a little, A Nuo said softly.

"I'm sorry," Qiao Ruiqing replied, "I'm sorry..."

"I'm also uncomfortable, actually." Arnold said sullenly, "When I was on the battlefield."

Qiao Ruiqing sniffled and didn't answer.

They were silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but had the first glance at each other.With a quick glance, the two insects both looked away.

Qiao Ruiqing belatedly realized that the atmosphere just now was inexplicably too ambiguous.He and Arnold are still in the posture of holding each other, and they can feel each other's breath on their cheeks——

"Let's go, do you want to go back to Aurora on this route? I'll accompany you for a ride." Arnuo patted his clothes and stood up, muttering, "—Is that okay?"

Aurora is the name of the tavern Qiao Ruiqing opened before.Qiao Ruiqing quickly got up, feeling that there was still a vague temperature on her body.

He was actually a little disappointed for no apparent reason.

Qiao Ruiqing shook his head, wiped his face vigorously, and said formally: "Of course, let's go together. Thank you just now."

Now it turned into two worms walking towards the Southwest Lane together against the wind, probably staggered by one position.Qiao Ruiqing was in front, and Arnold was half a step behind.

This half-step distance gave Qiao Ruiqing a subtle sense of gap.As he walked, he looked for some topics to fill in the gaps: "My return this time is entirely based on the lies of the empire. I don't know if you have heard of the topic that was popular on the Star Network before? The one about saving the remnants of the Desolate Star. "

"Hmm." Arnold said, exhaling a stream of white air.

This almost made Qiao Ruiqing uneasy, and continued: "That incident was deleted quickly, but it still left a bad influence-I mean, for the empire. So they forced me to come and act... I Probably transferred the hostility towards the empire to the escort female. I'm sorry."

A Nuo frowned little by little: "Ah... sorry." After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

The two worms walked forward without a word, and the snowflakes caught the wind and wet the clothes and hair.

After a while they spoke at the same time:

"They—" Arno said.

"You—" This is Qiao Ruiqing.

As soon as they spoke, they bumped into each other, and they both had to shut up.

A Nuo raised his chin to signal Qiao Ruiqing to speak first.

"...How are you doing?" Qiao Ruiqing looked down at the ground.

"It's not bad. After getting the rank of school officer, I will quit working after a few more years of hard work. Professional military females are really not fucking worms." A Nuo replied sullenly.

Walking on this windy and snowy road, Arnold's suppressed mood for a long time miraculously calmed down, and even the previous strong idea of ​​"asking Joe for clarification" disappeared.

It doesn't matter whether Joe's bad attitude or military propaganda; it doesn't even matter why he suddenly broke up in the first place.Arnold had a lot of wild thoughts before seeing Qiao Ruiqing, but now that he sees him, he is confident to think about everything in a good direction.

He didn't know whether he was letting go or giving up.Now that A Nuo and Qiao Ruiqing were walking on the familiar road, he felt that he was not so greedy anymore; he turned his head to see Joe's reaction, and found that the other party had kept his eyes closed, and the whole worm was in a tense state.

And Arnold felt happy.Although they didn't chat, but contrary to Joe's embarrassment, Arnold felt light and blissful.

That's good enough.

He couldn't bear to break such a quiet atmosphere.But he still has a very concerned question that he has to ask: "Do they often do this? They force you to do a lot of things?"

Then he was very happy to see that Qiao Rui understood his endless questions in seconds: "Empire? It's okay. I filmed my first variety show by myself, and all the shows after that are publicity tasks. "

Qiao Ruiqing gave a rare long speech. "I originally came here to act in a special trip this time. I think the empire is impatient, and the publicity is getting tighter day by day, and now even the public opinion of such a trash star can't be tolerated. When I was recording the show just now, I asked who The female worms—the worms left in Desolate Star are all hiding in Southwest Alley." He patted the bulging backpack behind him, "I brought all the camcorders, and I just want to record the truth and take it away."

Arnold smiled when he heard it: "Cool! I like doing this kind of thing the most."

After getting a slightly positive response, Qiao Ruiqing finally felt much relieved, and couldn't help grinning foolishly.He turned his hands away, took out the camera from his backpack and released it: "I'll show you. I'm getting a little emotional about this little guy."

Press the power button, the small camera "Didi" lights up red, and flies tremblingly.Facing the wind and snow, it showed obvious discomfort, trying to twist in mid-air to avoid the snow blocks blocking the lens.

Dodge thousands of times but still can't dodge.A gust of wind blew, and the camera fell into the snow with a "crack", and the little wings fluttered in vain, which was really aggrieved.

... Qiao Ruiqing was grateful for it from the bottom of his heart.With such a coquettish operation, he can confidently laugh super loudly with Arnold, and the embarrassing atmosphere is swept away.

Give thanks for the sacrifice, live forever.

A Nuo walked over to pick it up, clutching his stomach, and patted the snow off the camera head like a puppy's head: "It's pretty pitiful, little guy?"

The camera shut itself off online, staggeringly flew back to Qiao Ruiqing's side and stayed there.He even cleverly chose a good-looking angle for taking pictures.

Qiao Ruiqing felt that she might not be able to laugh enough.At this time, Arnold heard "Hey":

"Isn't this the house that Daddy Lili used to live in? We've also stayed in it for a long time. A little further on is the Aurora you drove, right?"

Qiao Ruiqing raised her head when she heard the words, and saw a dark hut half-hidden in the snow, but the wall tiles were not dilapidated, as if it was maintained by insects on a regular basis.

It was also a snowy night when he was picked up by Father Rich, and he was in a trance for a while.There is a faint light in the distance, which is the light at the door of his tavern.

The camera climbed up silently, leaving a close-up of the cabin.And Qiao Ruiqing stood there dumbfounded, almost feeling a little homely and timid.

This is like really coming home.
