Heart Whistle [Whistle]

In the looming fragrance of flowers, Steinan slept quite restlessly, and all the troubles around her could be heard in her ears. It was precisely because of this restlessness that Steinan did not dream.

Stein felt trapped in a completely dark room, and there were various subtle sounds coming from all around, until a sound of footsteps came, and a soft complaining sound circulated in the small space where Stein was.

"Change the land and grab it again, cheer up, Di Qing."

"Cheer up, Diqing."

"The flute is light."

"The flute is light..."

"The flute is light!"

Stein suddenly sat up from the grass, and her eyes that opened suddenly were bloodshot at the moment. She ignored her heart that was throbbing with pain, stood up anxiously, and chased after the footsteps. .

But no matter how fast Steian pursued, the sound of footsteps was never far or near.

It's like in a dream, no matter how much she reaches out, she can't touch Di Qing who is about to disappear.

The deep sense of powerlessness forced Stein to stop, listening to the footsteps gradually receding, she laughed at herself.

What is she chasing?

Can it really be that the flute is light?

Standing on the spot and thinking for a moment, Stein took this as a fantasy of her own. When she returned to the hillside, she saw a red-eyed brown bear holding the bouquet of small white flowers.

Seeing Stein, the bear instantly opened its red eyes angrily, and grinned with sharp teeth, showing a fierce look.

Obviously trying to scare Stein away.

Stein looked down at the white flowers that had fallen on the grass. The petals were all crushed, scattered on the grass, and drifted away with the wind.

Seeing this, Stein looked up at the bear, and pulled out the long sword from his waist expressionlessly.

A few seconds later, there was a dead bear on the hillside, and the blood stained a large area of ​​grass. Stein looked down at the blood all over the ground, her eyes widened instantly, and the memories that had tortured her countless times in the past years flooded back .

Stein was enveloped in icy fear, she tremblingly threw away the sword in her hand, covered her ears with her hands, and murmured repeatedly in a daze: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

She soiled the field.

Diqing was running fast. She chased a flaming red-eyed bear for dozens of kilometers to come here. Seeing that bear entered a high-risk area, Diqing had to go back and change places to find another one.

Speaking of...

Di lightly stopped and turned to look in the direction where the bear disappeared.

It seems to be the place where she died in a mission before, right?

Thinking of the severe pain caused by his body being torn apart before he died, Di shuddered slightly, and ran away at a faster pace.

Fortunately, Diqing met another flaming red-eyed bear on the way back from the original road, and after successfully hunting it, dragged the huge bear body and rushed towards the client's residence.

"Tuk Tuk"

Knocking on the client's door, Diqing looked left and right while waiting for the door to open, and said that the post-retirement residence assigned to her by Ta was also nearby.

It's a pity that it's gone before anyone can live there.

"It is you."

A familiar voice sounded, Di lightly looked up in shock, and met Jie Qian's smiling fox eyes.

"I remember that the client is not..."

Di Qing tilted her head in doubt, she clearly remembered that the client was a middle-aged woman.

Jessie smiled and answered gently, "That's the aunt who cleans."

"I posted the task, look at the name of the client."

Hearing this, Diqing reached out and took out her pocket, and found a crumpled task list. The client on the bottom right did have Jessie's name written on it, and there was no difference in a word.

Di lightly startled, and frowned angrily. At that time, because her mind was too confused, she didn't look at the name of the client when revealing these tasks.

Careless.

"Then... this is the bear you want."

Diqing slipped the red-eyed flame bear behind him forward, while she took a step back.

Seeing this, Jie Qian asked curiously, "Are you afraid of me?"

Seeing Diqing's little resistance, Jie Qian felt that it was a bit funny and cute, and there was a bit of sincerity in the originally polite smile.

Di Qing looked aside to avoid Jie Qian's probing gaze, and pursed her lips and said, "No, give me the ransom, I have other tasks."

"Row."

Jie Qian took out the gold coin and handed it to Di Qing.

At the same time that Diqing reached out to catch the gold coin, Jie Qian opened her hand and grabbed Di Qing's wrist, under Di Qing's flustered eyes, Jie Qian raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and said softly: "Can you tell me your name? "

Di lightly frowned, thinking that there was something wrong with Jessie's designation, why did she chase after someone to ask for her name?

"No."

Di lightly wrinkled her face and shook off Jie Qian's hand, glared at Jie Qian, turned and ran away.

Jie Qian admired Di Qing's back with a little interest in her eyes, and suddenly realized something after a while, the interest was swept away, and her whole face sank.

With a shake of her hand, Jie Qian picked up the bear in front of her and was about to enter the house.

"Who were you talking to just now?"

When a cold and hoarse voice came, Jie Qian paused, and turned her head to meet Stein's red eyes.

Stein's condition looked very bad, her whole body was covered in blood, her whole body was on the verge of collapse, and there was a near-collapsed madness in her bloodshot eyes.

Realizing that Steinan was just one step away from losing control, Jie Qian collected her expression and replied seriously: "A mercenary."

"really?"

Stein approached Jie Qian, and the strong sense of oppression made Jie Qian feel suffocated.

Stein stared at Jie Qian. She passed nearby, and picked up that man's voice from among the countless noisy voices. Who else could that soft and timid tone be except Di Qing?

"real."

Jessie thought of the girl with round eyes all the time, and she didn't really want her whim to implicate innocent people.

Jessie took a deep breath, faced the cold gaze from Stein, and explained aloud:

"I know what you're thinking, and I thought so too for a few seconds."

"But it can't be. You know it can't be hers. No one knows better than you, Stein."

These words sounded like a wake-up call to Steian's chaotic mind. At the same time, Steian was stunned, and the pain and negative emotions accumulated for three years surged like a tide, and Steian's ice-blue eyes gradually became hollow. .

Yeah, no one knows better than her.

Diqing died right in front of her, just one step away.

She watched her beloved being torn apart, and witnessed the warm blood splashing on her body.

But she just...couldn't accept reality.

Stein glanced at Jie Qian and left in a daze.

Seeing that Stein was on the brink of collapse, Jessie quickly turned around and went back to the room to inform Myonola, asking her to send someone to watch Stein.

Putting down the phone, the sneaky and eager figure outside the tower appeared in Jessie's mind. That person seemed to be resurrected if he didn't look carefully, and the small movements and tone of speech were exactly the same when they talked.

Is that girl really on another mission?

But don't go to squat sneakily outside the tower again, and just run into Stein.

Outside the gate of the pagoda, Di Qingpa pulled by the gate, looking inside.

There are also many guides who came to register today.

Di Qing looked around uneasily, this time she ran here while Jie Qian was at home.

Di Qing didn't want to meet Jie Qian again, she had always been a little afraid of Jie Qian.

That person seemed to regard her as a competitor, and every time they got along with her in the past was not pleasant.

Di Qing observed for a while, cheered secretly in his heart, and prepared to go in and register.

Come on lightly, don't think too much.If you can match, you are here to help your former partner. If you can’t match, you can go to school. Jessie refuses to be forced to match and live her life well.

Don't think too much, don't get confused.

Go!flute……

"The flute is light."

Just as Diqing was about to lift her foot, the cold voice that burned in her heart suddenly sounded behind her.

In the past, Diqing liked to hear Stein calling her softly, but now, when Diqing heard this voice, only nervousness and fear remained in her heart.

"Diqing, is that you?"

"Did you come to me? Diqing? Diqing?"

Stein stared at the back in front of her and asked earnestly. At this moment, Stein didn't care about the reality and the few rational voices in her head shouting "impossible".

She only knew that Diqing was right in front of her.

"Diqing, you..."

Just as the voice behind her was getting closer, Di lightly gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, turned around and said, "That... I think you may have misidentified the person."

Diqing couldn't explain her journey, and she had selfish intentions.

She actually wanted to get to know Steinan with her new identity.

A new identity that won't be hated.

"I do not know you."

After finishing speaking with lowered eyes, Di mustered up the courage to look up at the person in front of her.

When he raised his eyes, Diqing was stunned.

The person in front of me... is Stein?Is this messed-up and crumbling person the Steinan who in her memory is shining even in her hair?

Di lightly looked at the person in front of him, the more he looked, the more startled he became, his black and white round eyes gradually turned red, almost unable to suppress the distress in his eyes.

How did you lose so much weight?Why is your mouth doing this?Does the tower not give food and water?

How long has it been since I didn't sleep well for such heavy dark circles?

What happened to the blood on his body?Are you hurt?Where did it hurt?

The clothes are all dirty, Stein loves to be clean...

Are you having a bad day?

Diqing almost blurted out the question, suppressed the sentence abruptly, and lowered her head to keep her emotions from showing.

"Well, are you injured, why don't you go see a doctor."

Di lightly clenched the corner of his clothes, suppressed his voice in order to control his emotions, and slowly threw out each word one by one.

She was afraid of revealing her identity, and even more afraid that the person in front of her would be really hurt.

But Stein on the opposite side still called out stubbornly: "The flute is light."

Steinan's ice-blue eyes were tightly glued to the face of the person in front of her, and she couldn't bear to move them away for a moment. The originally gray and dim eyes gradually brightened.

When Di Qing didn't look back, Stein was desperate.

The moment Diqing turned her head, Stein clearly realized that her redemption had returned.

With just one glance, Stein can recognize her Diqing.

"I said it all, you may be wrong..."

"Eh!"

Diqing raised her head helplessly, before she finished explaining, the person in front of her fell straight down, and Diqing subconsciously quickly reached out to hug him.

Stein's head rested on Diqing's shoulders, and the breath from her nose hit Diqing's neck, which felt cool and itchy.

Di looked around lightly, seeing no one, carefully stretched out her hand to caress the back of Stein's head, and patted it lightly.

"I don't know how to take good care of myself."

Stein fell into a real deep sleep for a long time, and there was no repeated painful memory in the dream, only a Diqing who was waiting with open arms.

Stein ran towards Diqing without hesitation, and hugged her tightly with open arms.

"The flute is light."

"I miss you so much."
