not demon

【58】

"Tongtong, don't be afraid." Yechen hugged him tightly and said, "Daoist Qinghe will have his own way, we just need to wait here quietly."

"But your injury..." Shuangtong was still very worried about Yechen's injury, so he couldn't help asking worriedly.

Ye Chen shook his head and hugged him even tighter, "It doesn't matter to me, now I'm more worried about you, you didn't catch the flower demon's illusion, but others will definitely. So in order not to hurt you, stay Can you stay by my side?"

"Well, I'll stay by your side..." Shuangtong rested his head on Yechen's uninjured shoulder, and he slowly closed his eyes, with Yechen's clean smell wafting from his nose.

A brief silence.

"Yechen." The soft voice of Shuangtong reached Yechen's ears.

"Well, what's the matter." Yechen tied up his long hair that was pouring down his back with a black hairband, looked at his white and jade-like profile, and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"What kind of monster are you?" Shuangtong looked at Yechen's dark eyes, and said in a low voice, "You didn't want to tell me last time, for fear of being frightened by me, but in fact, no matter what you say to me, I will will not be afraid."

"You really want to know?" Yechen asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah." Shuangtong nodded, "Tell me, I won't be afraid."

"Remind you." Yechen smiled slightly, showing a good-looking expression, "It's flying in the sky."

"In the sky... is that a bird?" Shuangtong asked.

"Well, take a guess."

"This is too hard to guess, you don't even classify me." Shuangtong scratched the back of his head, and tentatively guessed: "Could it be a magpie?"

Yechen almost laughed out loud, how could he be a magpie, even though he had met several magpies when he was a crow before.

At that time, his spiritual power was not enough, and his mother was still by his side, so he lived a comfortable life.

So Ye Chen would also try to make some friends. There was a magpie's nest next to his own nest, and one of them was Qing Zhuo. Seeing Ye Chen's good looks, he often came to play with him.

At that time, Ye Chen was also very boring, so he played around with Qing Zhuo.But after all, Qing Zhuo is a girl, so Ye Chen will not overstep.

But he still understands Qing Zhuo's mind. Although Ye Chen looks cold, it's easy to see through other people's minds, not to mention that Qing Zhuo will show a shy expression every time he sees him.

He still remembered that once in the evening, Qingzhuo played chess with him by the stream. At that time, he could only transform into a human form occasionally, and he couldn't stay for too long, so he would occasionally feel sleepy.

Seeing him staring in a daze, Qing Zhuo made a good move while he was not paying attention.Yechen lost immediately, and after watching for a long time, he didn't see the way.He could only smile and said, "I lost, I lost this round to you."

"You don't look at it any more?" Qing Zhuo smiled softly.

"Don't look at it, I'm planning to go back." Yechen put the pieces on the chessboard back into the box, just about to raise his hand and stand up, when Qingzhuo's warm fingers suddenly closed onto his fingers——

"Uh..." Ye Chen was a little puzzled, just now he wanted to withdraw his fingers, but Qing Zhuo held them even tighter. "Qingzhuo, you..."

"Yechen, I like it..." Qingzhuo seemed a little embarrassed, she kept holding Yechen's fingers, the other's fingertips were warm, and her place had changed from warm to cool, she must be too nervous.

"Don't think too much." Ye Chen interrupted Qing Zhuo before she could say that.

In fact, Qingzhuo knew that Ye Chen was not a very gentle person, he couldn't say good things, the type who said whatever was on his mind.What's more, Yechen never said before that he had even a little liking for him.

"Go back." Seeing that Qing Zhuo hadn't spoken, Yechen sighed and said, "Don't meet again from tomorrow on."

Don't meet if you don't like it, this is indeed Yechen's consistent style.

Later, Yechen really hadn't seen Qing Zhuo for a long time, and later heard that Qing Zhuo left Xuzhou and went to another place.In fact, he wasn't too sad, he just felt that he lost a friend.

The memories of the previous magpie ended here, and Yechen looked at Shuangtong again.He really has a different feeling towards Shuangtong, which is completely different from Qing Zhuo's. Seeing Shuangtong's timid and pitiful appearance, he inexplicably feels a desire to protect, wanting to protect this little thing in his arms .

"Well, why are you looking at me like that, and you still haven't told me what kind of monster you are..." Shuangtong looked at Ye Chen's pensive look and couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Anyway, it's just that it's not a beneficial bird." Ye Chen tilted his head slightly.

"It's not a beneficial bird..." Shuangtong swallowed, and his face became a little timid again. He had thought that Yechen might be a more ferocious animal such as a wild wolf or a sea fish, but he didn't expect Yechen's true nature She's a bird -- and she's so pretty.

Shuangtong always felt that there seemed to be some magic power in Yechen's eyes, which could attract him, which was a charm that ordinary people did not have.

In other words, it may be that Yechen really does not look like a mortal, with haughty and indifferent eyes, and an arrogant attitude in his speech and demeanor.

"I really can't figure it out." After thinking for a long time, Shuangtong replied honestly: "Just tell me."

"It's the bird that you humans don't like—the crow." Ye Chen lay down on the wall, and said calmly, "My real body is a crow. How about it, are you afraid?"

"Crow?" Shuangtong was stunned, and Yechen turned his head before asking for leave, "I know you won't like it if I say it, but I am indeed a demon, and I can also transform into a human form, and I also I don't dislike being a monster. Only a fool like Gu Qingming would want to become a human."

"Gu Qingming..." Shuangtong exclaimed suddenly, "Are you saying that Young Master Fang likes someone?"

"That's right, he was hiding from the other party Yue Heng that he was a monster before, but I don't think there is anything to hide." Ye Chen said lightly: "It's what it is, whether you like it or not depends on it." What the other party says, as long as the other party doesn't like it, it's useless no matter how you say it."

"Well, it's true." Shuangtong said something thoughtful, and after a while he saw Yechen looking at him with a smile on his face, and immediately blushed and waved his hands and said, "I, I'm talking nonsense, you look at him like this What am I doing?"

"Nothing." Yechen held his cold fingers and said softly, "I just want to ask you, now that you know what kind of monster I am, aren't you afraid?"

"Uh……"

"Or after you found out, you don't want to be with me anymore?" Yechen continued to ask.

"No, no." Shuangtong quickly denied.

"You see you were so afraid of me before, how could I be willing to embarrass you." Ye Chen smiled and said to him.

"I'm just asking casually, I don't... I don't mean to dislike you." Shuangtong lowered his head, "You see, I'm an orphan. I finally came to Fang Mansion. I am already grateful that Master Fang is willing to take me in. It's all over, besides, I'm not good-looking, but if you still like me, I'll just..."

"You look good." Yechen patted his head, "Look at you, you are thin and small, and your skin is so white, so you look very clean."

"Clean?" Shuangtong frowned suspiciously.

"Well... yes, when I saw people in the mortal world before, I felt that they had a kind of filthiness for no reason, so I didn't like it that much. It wasn't until I saw you that I realized that there are different people in the world. It's clean and thorough." Yechen's eyebrows were gentle.

"You say that..." A thin layer of red suddenly appeared on the face of Shuangtong, and he pulled his hand out of Yechen's fingers, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Don't be afraid, I'll just tell you how I feel." Yechen lay back on the wall again, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

"what?"

"I used to be really bad." The missing starlight outside sprinkled some weeds on the ground, shining on Yechen's face as if reflecting the starlight, "Do you know that Fang Yueheng and I are not just acquainted?"

"Master Fang..." Shuangtong sat beside him obediently and asked, "What's wrong with Master Fang."

"The person Fang Yueheng likes is Gu Qingming, who was actually killed by me." Yechen closed his eyes and recalled what happened half a year ago. At that time, Gu Qingming's spiritual breath was broken by his own hands, and Fang Yueheng's family was ruined. It turned out that he was just taking revenge on a hatred that didn't exist at all.

This incident has become the most regrettable thing in Yechen's life.

Feeling the shock of the people around him, Ye Chen continued to speak: "Do you want to know why?"

Shuangtong suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded silently. He thought that Ye Chen would have something to hide, so he continued: "Well, tell me."

"When my aunt and I were still together, it was the happiest time I ever lived. At that time, I always felt that my relatives were the most important.

But one day, my aunt was arrested and used as medicine—because a Taoist priest said that crows wrapped in medicine can cure diseases, so my aunt left. "

Both pupils gasped for breath.

"The one who took her away was Fang Yueheng's father." Yechen continued, but his eyes had lost all emotion, "But even if he used my aunt as a medicine, Fang Yueheng's father still couldn't save her. I was I don’t know anything, I just feel that the pain of losing a loved one is something no one else can empathize with, and I am heartbroken, suffocated and want revenge.”

"Gu Qingming has thus become a pawn in my revenge." Yechen's deep voice continued, "I don't want to repeat the process. I hurt Gu Qingming and made him lose his spiritual breath. I don't know how to make up for it, but I have done my best to help Gu Qingming re-transform into a human form. This is how the Luoxueshan incident happened, and Daoist Qinghe appeared."
