I turned into a beautiful girl

"Woo!!!"

Painful low moans leaked out of Yu Xia's little mouth. Lying on the soft bed, Yu Xia, who fell into a deep sleep, whined from time to time. The lower abdomen was tightly wrapped with a bandage, but the blood could be seen seeping into the pure white gauze, making it bright red.

"Xia, is she okay?"

The slowly beating heart seemed to be held tightly by someone, making it difficult for Yuye to breathe. She didn't know how many times she had asked questions like this, and she kept repeating them as if she had lost her memory.

"It's okay, Xiao Xiazi is not such a fragile person, so don't worry."

Chen Zishi, who was sitting by the bed and looking after the two injured people, Yu Xia and Zhuang Xueying, comforted Yu Ye, who was unfamiliar to her.

"What about Sakura? Is she okay..."

"It's okay. Xue Ying's injury has healed now thanks to Hua Ling and Xiao Ke."

The second question came out of Yu Ye's small mouth again. He had long expected that Yu Ye would ask such a question. Chen Zishi had already responded before Yu Ye could even recover his voice.

"That's it..."

The restless heart seemed to be temporarily relieved, and Yu Ye lowered his head after murmuring. Quietly spying on the expression on Yu Ye's face, Chen Zishi couldn't get the information he wanted from the expression on her face.

Even though she wanted to say something to comfort Yuye, Chen Zishi didn't know what to say.

"Huh~~ Let's do this. You take good care of them, how about I go to the restaurant downstairs to buy some food and come back?"

After the battle between Hua Ling and Mo Luoke, she used all her magic power to treat Yu Xia and Zhuang Xueying, and now she was lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

Thanks to the almost omnipotent magic power of their two demons, they interfered with the memory of the head teacher, allowing them to stay in the hotel without participating in any group activities, which also made them miss the group dinner at night. It's said to be a hotel, but it's actually just two five-story buildings that can accommodate people.

Standing up and looking at the clock that had already entered eight o'clock, Chen Zishi planned to go out and buy some food and come back.

"I go."

He jumped up with a "swish" and expressed his wishes in a slightly cold and calm tone. Yuye didn't want to sit here and wait for Yuxia and the others to wake up.

"It might be dangerous for you to go out now, so I'd better go out."

"No."

Shaking his head, Yu Ye denied Chen Zishi's statement.

"But……"

"If something happens to Xia and the others, I can't do it."

Although she was annoyed that she could not solve the unexpected situation, Yuba still had to admit this fact.

"so……"

That's true... But what if something happens to her when she goes out?

"It's okay, I can fight or I can run away."

I don't know if he really noticed what Chen Zishi was thinking, or if he just wanted to express his abilities. Yuye's proposal erased Chen Zishi's doubts.

"That's it... you go buy some porridge. Xiaoxiazi and the others are all injured, so it's better to eat something lighter. Do you understand?"

After learning about Yu Ye's situation from Yu Qiu, Chen Zishi doubted whether she had common sense.

"I know."

"Okay, you don't have any money, right? You can use mine. Go back quickly. If anything happens, run away immediately."

"Um."

After taking the wallet handed over by Chen Zishi, Yuye didn't notice that Chen Zishi stuffed anything into her pocket.

If you just went to buy something to eat, you should be fine, right? Also in the hotel...

Looking out the window of the room, I entered the night forest and lost all light sources. Only the two five-story buildings standing on the top of the mountain and the moon reflecting the sun's light can provide a weak light source here.

………

…

…

"Porridge."

Since it was a pay-before-you-eat restaurant, Hanaba walked to the checkout counter. There was no ups and downs in her voice, and she expressed the items she needed calmly.

"Little girl, what kind of porridge do you want?"

"What kind of porridge is there?"

"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Tingzi porridge, they are all listed on the menu."

"..."

Silent, unable to figure out what it was from the answer given by the shop owner, Yuye fell into deep thought.

What is split egg? Split eggs to make porridge?

What about Ting Tsai? Porridge made from a dinghy?

Misunderstanding something he had never seen before, Haba's eyes focused on the square characters on the menu, intending to use his own eyes to determine what kind of item it was.

"Little girl?"

"take them all."

The shopkeeper urged suspiciously, interrupting Yuye's contemplation. Unable to determine what it was and what kind of porridge Yu Xia liked to eat, she planned to buy a bowl of all the porridge in the restaurant.

"All of them?"

"um, yes."

"Then just sit there and wait."

He motioned to Yuye about the empty seat behind him, nodded, and moved toward the empty seat in the corner.

Xia, will she be happy?

Will she like to eat it?

With good expectations, Yu Ye stared through the window at the moon hanging high in the night sky.

This was the third time Yuye looked directly at the night sky, and it was also the third night she escaped from that hellish laboratory.

The airflow in the air was disturbed, and the wind brushed against Feather Leaf's cheeks. Her body trembled, and the ominous premonition filled her heart, prompting her to turn her head and face the front.

"Good evening, little one."

A harmless and sweet smile appeared on her childish cheeks, and Yuye knew it. Alia's smile is just a mask used by the devil to hide itself.

"..."

He stared at Arya, who was as cute as a doll, without saying a word. His nerves were on guard, and Haba's body was tense, ready to attack her at any time.

"Calm down, calm down. Alya is not here to fight with you now~"

"..."

Constantly shaking her thin legs that could not completely touch the ground, the smile on Alya's face did not weaken due to the attitude shown by Haba.

Continuing to remain silent, Hanaba didn't know what kind of words she should make at this time.

"Alia just wants to ask you a question~~"

"what is the problem."

Yu Ye's saliva slid down his throat, providing some relief to his throat that was about to burn with thirst. The long period of silence made Yuye's voice sound hoarse.

"Whose fault do you think it is that Katana sister was injured and the sister wearing glasses was injured?"

The scars are uncovered and a handful of salt is thrown in at the same time.

Stinging!

The inexplicable pain from his heart accelerated Yuye's blood flow, and bloodshot eyes filled his eyes. At this moment, Yuye understood what it meant - anger.

"Isn't it you?"

It roared like a wild beast, and its bright green pupils contained angry fire. As if she wanted to burn up Alya in front of her, Hahaha responded to Alya's question.

"Alia can only be regarded as the main reason~~and the fundamental reason is you."

"..."

Speaking like a speech from a political book, the sly smile on Alya's face became even wider. The words penetrated Yuye's heart like sharp knives, and she fell into silence again.

"Don't you understand? It's because you were by Katana's side that she was injured~~ And the sister wearing glasses, wasn't it also because of you that she was injured?"

The vicious words gnawed at Yu Ye's heart, and the venom contamination stimulated Yu Ye's nerves. Indescribable, Haneha clenched her hands to the limit, with her head lowered, enduring the burning pain that was on the verge of reaching the limit.

“Although I didn’t die this time, it’s hard to tell next time~~”

"Then...what to do."

The cold face was distorted by uneasiness and pain, and the voice that lacked the ups and downs of the tone trembled. The flame in Yuye's pupils was extinguished at some point, leaving extinguished ashes.

"How to do it? Isn't this an obvious thing~~ Just follow Aria and return to the laboratory of Noah Company."

A seemingly harmless white smile concealed the most vicious dark emotions, and Alia's clear voice slipped into Yuye's eardrums.

The nails dug into the palm of his hand, but Yuye didn't notice the stinging pain in his palm. With her head hunched like a lost puppy, Alia didn't hear any answer from Featherleaf.

"Small one, just think about it carefully~~Tomorrow morning, let Alya know your answer~~"

After saying "you know how to find it", Alya disappeared in front of Yuba.

"Little girl, all the porridge you asked for is here!"

Bowls of porridge were packed in transparent plastic bags, and Auntie's clerk placed them in front of Han Ye, and reminded Han Ye, who exuded a gloomy atmosphere, in a kind tone.

"Ah...thank you."

Saying the words she learned from Yu Xia, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant with the two bags of porridge.

what to do?

Helpless emotions surged up like a turbid current, and he raised his head and looked at the night. The bright moonlight became dim, and the stars all over the Night Demon no longer twinkled.

What can I do?

I?

Did I harm Xia and Ying?

Aria's low hum echoed in Yuye's alarm clock. Whenever he thought of this, Yuye felt as if his heart was being burned by hot lava. The strength in his body gradually faded away, causing Yuye's vision to become blurry.

The impact of reality disrupted Yuye's brain, and Yuye leaned weakly against the cold wall to hold herself up and prevent herself from falling.

"Ye Zi? What's wrong with you, Ye Zi?"

The inquiry containing strong concern broke into Yuye's ears, and her dizzy vision was restored to some extent. Slowly raising his head, Yu Ye's eyes met the restless Yu Xia's eyes.

"Xia, you're awake."

"Yeah, I woke up. It was you instead, are you okay?!"

The calm tone seemed to be stating the facts, but Yu Xia knew that Yu Ye was asking about his physical condition. Showing a smile as warm as the afternoon sun, Yu Xia supported Yu Ye's shaky figure.

"fine."

Shaking her head gently, Yuye's voice seemed a little thin.

"It's okay. Is this the porridge you bought for us? Come on, I'll get it."

It wasn't until Yuye stood completely firm that Yuxia let go of her hands supporting her. Before getting Yu Ye's consent, Yu Xia had already taken the two bags of porridge from Yu Ye's hands.

"Xia, you just-"

"It's okay, it's okay! This kind of minor injury is nothing."

A soft smile calmed the waves in Yuye's heart, and she took forward steps as usual. Yuye did not notice that her steps seemed a little light.

The puppy that had done something wrong followed its owner in despair with its tail slumped. While he blames himself for his stupidity, he is also worried that his master will alienate him.

Yu Ye, who said nothing, followed closely behind Yu Xia, the pain in her heart slowed down somewhat, but Alia's low voice echoed in her mind, creating new wounds in Yu Ye's heart all the time.

"I'm back~~"

"Xiao Natsuko!! Didn't I tell you to stay in the room?! I just went out to help you buy medicine, and you ran away all of a sudden?!"

The mother discovered that her son had left his unfinished homework and sneaked out to play, so she caught her son sneaking back home.

Sharp scoldings came towards him, and Chen Zishi glared at Yu Xia with an angry face. Standing in front of Yu Xia, she seemed to be waiting for Yu Xia's explanation.

"Okay, okay. Aren't I worried about Ye Zi~~ I'm fine. This kind of injury is nothing at all."

"But isn't your body still hairy--"

"Look, look. This is porridge~~ It will get cold if you don't eat it."

Raising the porridge in her hand, Yu Xia quickly used words to cut off Chen Zishi's next words.

"Oh, okay."

Sensing that Hua Ling was looking like a cheetah hunting behind her back, Chen Zishi had no intention of pursuing it further. After warning Yu Xia sternly with her eyes, she let Yu Xia go.

"Yuyu, hurry up and give it to me! I'm hungry!"

The chick opens its mouth wide, waiting for its mother to feed it.

He shouted at Hua Ling and ordered Yu Xia to give her the porridge in his hand.

"Okay, okay. Ye Zi bought this. Thank you very much! Here, your favorite Tingzi porridge."

Knowing the porridge Hua Ling liked, Yu Xia took it out and handed it to Hua Ling. She then gave the remaining porridge to Moloke, Zhuang Xueying and the others to choose.

"Leaf, don't you want to eat it?"

"No, Xia, you can eat."

Looking at Yu Ye who was standing aside, staring at the conversation between himself and Hua Ling without saying a word, Yu Xia asked with concern. In response to this, Yu Xia just shook her head gently and expressed her thoughts.

Compared with the lively atmosphere, Hanaba, who seemed out of place, took a step back. Not wanting to attract anyone's attention, she opened the locked door and slipped out quietly.

"Huh~~"

The deep mountains at night were colder than in the morning, and the oncoming wind made Yu Ye's cheeks hurt. Put your hands into the pockets of your clothes, hoping to reduce the loss of body temperature.

With his exhaled breath, white mist dispersed in the air. Wandering aimlessly around the hotel, the emotions rushing through her heart made Yuye's thinking become strange.

"What should I do?"

The most important question was raised, but the moment Yuye's slight voice came out, it was blown away by the howling cold wind.

"If I'm here, Natsu will get hurt, and Sakura will get hurt too."

After saying the words Alya expected, sitting on the bench under the yellow light, Haba hugged his slightly trembling body with his arms.

She couldn't tell whether it was because of the cold temperature or her turbulent heart. Before the trembling stopped, Yuye could only hug herself tightly.

"Want to go back?"

——Go back to the cold laboratory.

don't want!

In no mood!

I don’t want to go back anymore!

Disgusted.

The intense disgust slapped Yu Ye's heart like the huge waves of a tsunami. Huamei's face twitched, and the past events clogged her blood.

The smell of summer is delicious.

Don't want to leave...

I don’t want to leave Xia…

A wild dog that has been wandering for a long time has received care from a new owner.

Yu Ye, who had never felt warmth from anyone else, gained care from Yu Xia. Not wanting to go back to the life he had before, Yuye strongly rejected such an idea.

But.

But!

If you don't go back, as Jin Jin said, Xia will be injured or even die...

Sakura was hurt because of me, and she has become disgusted with me, right?

If Yuye could see his face at this moment, he would definitely be surprised by the change of expression on his face.

Her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and her eyes turned as red as white rabbits. Yu Ye, who was filled with tears, seemed to be crying at any time.

"what to do……"

Looking up at the dim night, a feeble whisper leaked from Yuye's small mouth.

"What should I do? Is there something you don't understand? Tell me?"

From a place beyond the reach of the light, Yuye's familiar voice came. Upon hearing the call from its owner, the puppy reacted instantly. Yuye straightened her back suddenly, and her eyes fell on the location where Yuxia's voice came from.

Stepping into the space imprisoned by yellowing lights, her dark gray hair spread like a waterfall, and Yu Xia was still wearing the uniform of the boy who lived in the school.

The cold wind eroded Yu Xia's slender body, and her steps were a little unsteady, but she still got close to Yu Ye's side. A gentle smile appeared on her pale face, and Yu Xia sat next to Yu Ye.

"nothing."

"Oh? Is it really nothing?"

Words denied his heart, but the aura exuding from Yu Ye could not be concealed. Yu Xia asked lightly, leaving Yu Xia unsure of what to say.

"Um."

He nodded to confirm his statement.

"That's it~~"

With a protracted voice, Yu Xia, who was sitting next to Yu Ye, raised her head and looked up. The twinkling stars that could not be seen in the city washed away the irritability in her heart.

Following Yu Xia's example, he leaned on the bench and raised his head to gaze at the star-studded night sky. But Yuye's eyes looked at Yuxia from time to time, wondering why she suddenly appeared next to him.

"Ye Zi, do you hate the laboratory where you are trapped?"

A soft question escaped from Yu Xia's little mouth and slipped into Yu Ye's ears. With her head tilted slightly, Yu Ye stared at the face of Yu Xia who had been observing Ye Xing. She seemed to be thinking about Yu Xia's intention in asking this question.

"..."

Yu Xia did not urge Yu Ye, nor did Yu Xia put pressure on Yu Ye with her eyes. She just kept admiring the night in the mountains, waiting for Yuye to give her answer.

"Hate."

The cold wind blew by, and the cold touch stung their skin. The emerald green hair swayed gently with the breeze, and Yuye's voice trembled when she spoke.

"Is that so...even though it's only a few days, you're staying with us, don't you hate it?"

"it's OK."

The question came out of Yu Xia's little mouth again, and the ear-piercing voice suddenly hit Yu Ye's heart. She gave her answer without thinking or hesitation.

"Oh~~Then just follow us! I - no, Lingling and I will protect you and never let you go back to that place again."

The night in his sight turned into Yu Ye, whose expression remained unchanged. Her crimson cherry lips formed a beautiful arc, and something seemed to be flashing in Yu Xia's gray pupils.

The power of words collided with Yuye's body, and an indescribable warm touch enveloped her figure. It was obviously a cold night, but Yuye never felt cold at this moment.

Xia, take good care of her.

At a moment that Yu Xia didn't know, Yu Ye made up his mind.

"Oh yeah~~"

Yu Xia jumped up from the bench with a "whoosh", and wanted to stand up with a gorgeous movement, but her body swayed unbalanced as a result. Letting out a cute feminine cry, she raised her hands flat before barely standing up straight.

Without even blinking, as if she was afraid that she would forget Yu Xia's figure, Yu Ye completely took in Yu Xia's silly behavior.

"Ah hahaha, okay, let's go back!"

Trying to cover it up with a dry and stiff laugh, Yu Xia scratched her head and stretched out her little hand to Yu Ye. Showing an angelic smile, Yu Xia made an invitation to Yu Ye.

Why?

Why is this happening?

My eyes feel so hot, why are they like this?

His body shook uncontrollably, not because of the cold but because of something he had never touched before - a certain emotion.

Hot tears were rolling in her eyes. She wanted to understand the side that existed in her body, and Yuba kept asking questions. But no one answered her, only Yu Xia's tender white hands were waiting for her.

"Um."

After responding softly to avoid Yu Xia noticing the changes in her body, Yu Ye lowered her head. Her bud-like green hair hung down like a waterfall, covering her expression. After quickly wiping away the unknown liquid from the corners of her eyes, she raised her head again.

During the banquet, women responded to the men who invited them, using beautiful smiles and their white hands as symbols of acceptance.

Driven by the emotions that emerged from deep within her heart, a beautiful smile that even the goddess could not compare to appeared on Yuye's cheeks. Her little hand gently placed on the palm of Yu Xia's hand. The moment it touched her palm, Yu Xia's hand instantly wrapped around Yu Ye's little hand.

Warm—no, it’s not.

It's a hotter, hotter temperature.

Just like the sun, it dispels the coldness in Yu Ye's body. Yu Xia's little hand that tightly holds her own makes safety surge in Yu Ye's heart.

Walking into the darkness that the yellowing light cannot reach, the two beautiful figures holding hands walked farther and farther until they completely disappeared into the darkness.
