Fallen grid shop

Chapter 19 His Courage
"Do you remember that man named Yanya?"

In the early spring of Aurora City in the year 242 of Sisena, Lulu asked Luoluo after finishing taking care of the cat grass, got up and took out a piece of cake from the refrigerator in the kitchen, and handed Luoluo a fork.The two sat on the carpet in the study, eating the same cake.

"Of course I remember. When I first came here, that person was very nervous, but he asked me very loudly, if I could help him realize his wish as long as he gave me his soul." Luoluo ate Cake was speaking inarticulately about what happened that day.

"It's really funny, I still remember him sitting on the cushion for guests in the shop, with his back stiff, tremblingly took the quill, on the fake contract I forged with magic , signed the name."

"You were really messy that day." Luoluo bit the fork, raised her hand, and ruffled Lulu's long, smooth, black hair as if reproachfully.

"Ah, it's going to get on the cake!!!" Lulu screamed and dodged the hand, and smoothed her hair seriously, "I don't want to know that person's mind earlier, after all, luck brings The cake is really delicious, of course I want to help her."

Seeing Lulu eating cakes all over her face, Luoluo wiped her cheeks with a smile, and fondly called it a greedy cat.

The story goes back to eight years ago, half a year after Xin Yun came home.That morning, when Lulu was staring at the melting icicles outside the window in a daze, a figure appeared from a distance, slowly zooming in, and walking towards their shop.

The wind chimes at the door jingled, and Xin Yun walked into the store carrying a tea pot and a small cake, and greeted them with vigor.

"Long time no see." Luoluo responded politely, motioning for her to sit down.

Lulu, who was full of curiosity, pounced on her, took the paper bag from her hand, put it on the desk, and opened it.

"what is this?"

"It's the black tea and cake I promised you. This is a thank you gift. Thank you for taking me in when I was about to freeze to death."

As Xin Yun said, he stood up and bowed deeply to Luoluo and Lulu.

"You're welcome, it's very interesting to listen to your stories." Lulu picked up the cake and smelled it. The sweet milk scent filled her whole nose. Tiny cakes.

"It's okay, you eat first, I'll make black tea for you to drink."

"Me too, I want to learn how to cook this."

Seeing Xin Yun standing up with the tea pot, Lulu jumped up and followed her into the kitchen.Luoluo looked at the cake, went to the study to find a book, sat in front of the desk, and waited quietly for their return.

After a while, Xin Yun and Lu Lu came out with three steaming cups.

"Try it quickly, whether you like it or not."

Xin Yun handed a cup of black tea to Luoluo, with anticipation in her eyes, she smiled happily as she looked at Luoluo and Lulu who were content to eat the cake and drink the black tea.

"I knew you would like it."

It was the first time Luoluo had tasted human food, and she always had an indescribable strange feeling, as if all the bad moods disappeared in one go, and all that was left was warmth.

Xin Yun took a sip of black tea and looked at Luoluo with a smile.

"Didn't you just say to bring black tea last time? Why did you bring us this?"

"Did you say cake? Today is my birthday, and we humans all eat cakes when we celebrate our birthdays. I don't have any other friends. I thought you might like it, so I brought them here to eat with you." Xin Yun said this There is no emotion when speaking, as if talking about an insignificant matter.

"You humans are so lucky, our cats never have birthdays, and so do their elves."

Lulu said vaguely with a cake in her mouth, and the girl laughed when she saw her face covered with cake.

"If you like it, next time I celebrate my birthday, I will bring a cake and eat it with you."

"Then I'll pick you up next time."

"I'll cook star dew and red raspberries and wait for you."

Lulu raised her tail excitedly, and Luoluo responded to Xinyun by eating a cake.While chatting, Luoluo suddenly heard a sound outside the door, it seemed to be a person walking back and forth at the door.

Luoluo signaled them not to speak, she raised her hand and used a little magic, and the door slowly opened.

Standing outside the door was a human teenager about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of clear eyes on his sharp-edged face, looking at Xin Yun inside the room in embarrassment.

"Yanya! Why are you here!" Xin Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared blankly at the people outside, but blushed instantly.Looking at the blushing Xin Yun, Lulu leaned on her shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Don't you like him? Look at this little blushing."

Xin Yun didn't answer her, but just lowered his head and nodded lightly after a long time.

"I..." the young man hesitated to speak, walked in quickly, pulled Xin Yun up vigilantly, and guarded him behind him.

"Elf, can you fulfill my wish as long as I sell my soul?"

Sell ​​your soul?Luoluo was startled by the boy's clear voice and frowned.Confused, she just wanted to explain, but Lulu covered her mouth.

"Then what is your wish?"

"I want to get her soul back." The young man looked at Luoluo firmly, and said word by word.

"You wait for us."

Lulu didn't let go, but blinked at Xin Yun.She stood up, trotted Luoluo into the back study room and said softly, "Luoluo, now is an excellent opportunity to prove that it's time for us to bet last time. If that person really likes Xinyun, then It proves that you won, and if that person is just a coward who can talk sweetly, then I win. With Xin Yun's unlucky physique, I think I will win."

"how do you want to do it?"

Luoluo looked at Lulu who didn't answer her with a mysterious face, and sighed, but let her go to the shop anyway.

As soon as a small light flashed under the desk, Lulu, who was sitting next to the desk, took out a fake contract and a quill, and put them on the desk.She raised her chin to signal the young man, and he came over and sat down, carefully reading the contract.

"Do you dare to sign? If you sign the contract, you will never go back to the human world."

"Yanya, listen to me." Just when Xin Yun was about to explain, Yanya immediately interrupted her and signaled her to be relieved, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I used to be a coward and I couldn't protect you You, but this time, I want to be brave and protect the person I like."

"." Xin Yun's face turned even redder. She lowered her head without saying a word, and stood not far away, looking at her toes embarrassingly.

Those slender, white hands tremblingly picked up the pen, signed the word Yanya seriously, and then he closed his eyes contentedly.

Finally he said what he wanted to say to her, and finally he did what he wanted to do for her.He thought silently, curling the corners of his mouth.But after a long time, he opened his eyes, but there was still no horror scene in this store as he imagined.

"She lied to you."

Sitting opposite him, Luoluo seemed to be watching a good show, picked up the black tea, and said these words calmly.

In an instant, those words exploded in Yanya's mind like a bomb, and shame crawled all over that handsome face.He blushed, not daring to look back at Xin Yun who was behind him.

The sunlight outside the door was extraordinarily glaring, following the shape of the door, it happened to shine into the small checkered shop and hit Xin Yun's back.And she was standing behind Yanya, walked forward silently, and slowly hugged that figure from the back.

At that time, Yanya only heard a small, soft voice in his blank head, like the warm spring breeze in May in Aurora City, calming him down.

"Thank you."
