When awakened by the nightmare, Xingqiu noticed that Naofumi Iwatani was still awake.

He seemed to have something on his mind, and kept tossing and turning.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

The movement of Xingqiu waking up was not small, and Naofumi Iwatani noticed it immediately, and he glanced at Xingqiu apologetically.

Doubts are doubts, but Naofumi Iwatani will never be too rude to a person because of doubts, and there is still a kind of tenderness in his bones.

This is also the reason why Xingqiu doesn't hate him even if he is suspected.

When watching anime, I always hope that the protagonist will be more decisive in killing, but when I really meet him, I still hope that the protagonist will be more silly and sweet, after all, it is easy to communicate and get along with.

Fortunately, although Iwatani Naofumi is not a fool, he has not completely lost his humanity because of the things he encountered before. This is also his precious place. Surrounded by malice, he did not choose to take revenge on the world, but has his own bottom line.

Of course, it may also be because he met Raphtalia later and gradually regained his own kindness.

For Raphtalia, Naofumi Iwatani who solved her psychological problems is salvation, and for Naofumi Iwatani, isn't Raphtalia's company and trust not salvation?

"No, I just had a nightmare."

A somewhat strange, turned Qiuqiu people's nightmare.

Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Xingqiu is not sleepy now, he chatted with Iwatani Naofumi with great interest: "Can you tell me why you can't sleep?"

Iwatani Naofumi turned his head and turned his back to Xingqiu: "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

Xingqiu sat up and said, "Well...you are the master who summoned me, of course you have to provide some services to the master."

"...Don't say something strange." Iwatani Naofumi pulled the quilt with some disgust, "I'm not interested in men."

"Hahaha what are you thinking!" Xingqiu really couldn't hold back his laughter, and he didn't want to, but he didn't expect Naofumi Iwatani to be so serious that he couldn't make a little joke.

"Ahem!" Xingqiu cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I mean psychological services."

"You." He lowered his eyes, under the moonlight, the yellow eyes were faintly shining with golden light, "Have you been hurt in your heart?"

Naofumi Iwatani turned and sat up, his emerald green eyes flickering vigilantly like a lone wolf: "What did Raphtalia tell you?"

"Nothing." Xing Qiu waved his hand, "Didn't you follow all the time? Did you say you didn't know?"

Iwatani Naofumi took a deep look at him, then lay back down again: "Sleeping."

But Xing Qiu didn't obey: "Are you running away?" His voice was like water, softly rang out, "Are you so afraid of analyzing your heart?"

"Are you some kind of nosy person? Don't you know it's annoying?"

"Well... I think I'm still very popular." Xing Qiu thought about it seriously, "But most of the time, I won't meddle in other people's business, ah, except when the clouds are pulling me."

"After all, I also like to look for him when I'm in trouble, so there's always something going on."

Naofumi Iwatani closed his eyes, suppressing his temper: "That friend of yours is not here now, so there's no need to meddle in other people's business, right?"

"That's the case in most cases." Xing Qiu smiled lightly, "For my friends, no matter how troublesome things are, I will take the initiative to take care of them."

Naofumi Iwatani's relaxed body suddenly tensed up. He opened his eyes, sat up again, and looked at Xingqiu with a gloomy face.

"Friend? How long have we known each other? Are you so familiar?"

His aura was a bit scary, but Xing Qiu was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "I'm very good at judging people, I just think you are suitable to be friends. How long do you want to know?"

"Getting together by fate and moving with your heart, isn't this natural feeling more comfortable than knowing each other deliberately?"

Iwatani Naofumi looked at him for a long time, as if he wanted to see some traces of camouflage on this pretty face, but there was nothing.

The person in front of him seemed to really think so, thinking that he was someone who could be a friend.

Naofumi Iwatani couldn't help but sneered: "Why do you think I'm suitable as a friend? I'm called the Devil of Shield by people in this country!"

"Well... I never listen to rumors." Xing Qiu thought for a while, "If you want to really understand a person, you can't listen to other people's narration, you have to see it with your own eyes and listen to it with your own ears. Only then can you truly understand this person. .”

"For example, Hu Tao, the master of the Hall of Rebirth in our place, there are rumors that she thinks strangely and behaves perversely. But after getting along with her, I realized that she is a very reliable person."

"Master Hu looks at things much more transparently than ordinary people, so what she says is not understandable by ordinary people. When it comes to other people's mouths, she has strange ideas and acts perversely. Be at ease."

"You see, everything happens for a reason, so why stick to the surface of things?"

Naofumi Iwatani was silent for a long time, and after a while, he smiled wryly: "It would be great if everyone was like you, or if only I could be as relieved as the Hall Master Hu you mentioned."

At this moment, he let go of all his defenses and revealed his softest heart.

When he was first slandered, he wished that someone could stand up, express his attitude like Xingqiu, and express his trust in him.

But no.

People in this country alienate him because of his reputation, and the other three brave men who should have similar backgrounds have listened to the slander and alienated him.

No one sees his innocence with eyes and listens to his justification with ears.

Although he now has a trusted companion by his side, Raphtalia, Filo, and villagers who accept him, but he can't help but think that it would be great if these things could come sooner.

And not after he's given so much.

It didn't come after he experienced betrayal, had psychological problems, and couldn't even taste the taste of food.

"you are wrong."

Xingqiu denied what Iwatani Naofumi said.

"First, we can't expect everyone to have the same opinion as me. After all, there is only one Xingqiu in this world."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he waved a "two" slightly: "Second, Hall Master Hu is not relieved, he doesn't go to trouble just because what the neighbors say is not bad, besides, they are all future guests. As a businessman, she will naturally not be troubled by business."

"Ah, didn't I say that?" Seeing Iwatani Naofumi's puzzled expression, Xingqiu smiled, "The funeral work is undertaken by the Pastoral Hall."

Iwatani Naofumi was speechless for a while.

He suddenly felt that Xingqiu was just teasing him.

"Sleep!" He covered the quilt with great movements, expressing his emotions, "I'm really asleep this time!"

Seeing Naofumi Iwatani's actions, Xingqiu smiled happily.

The player suddenly felt a little bit of the joy of Xingqiu teasing Chongyun to eat chili.

The night passed quickly, perhaps because the conversation with Xingqiu untied some knots in his mind, Naofumi Iwatani slept well, although when he woke up the next day, he saw Xingqiu greeted him refreshed.

The morning sun shines into the house, reflecting on the young man's gorgeous clothes. Only then did Iwatani Naofumi notice the variety of accessories on Xingqiu's body. Although he has seen the king, the princess of this country, and some nobles, he has never Have you ever seen someone whose clothes are as exquisite as Xingqiu's?

"Shouldn't you be some kind of royal family there?"

Thinking of this, Iwatani Naofumi asked aloud, and after hearing his question, Xingqiu couldn't help laughing.

"Shangwen has such a high opinion, I feel a little embarrassed."

He raised his lace sleeves, and said seriously, "Well...does it look a little fancy?"

Naofumi Iwatani nodded: "It's more than fancy, the royal family here is not as luxurious as yours."

"Hahaha!" Xingqiu laughed, "My family is indeed quite rich. I am the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. As for the royal family, how should I say it? We don't have such a saying there."

"If you want to talk about the word 'king', it's Lord Yan, but he is a god, maybe he's not the same as you here?" Xingqiu briefly introduced, "The country I live in is a land of immortals and mortals. The country governed together, and now most of the affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Liyue Seven Stars."

"It's not governed by the king...it sounds like a good country!" Iwatani Naofumi sighed, "If the king could not cover the sky here, maybe it wouldn't be like that..."

"The past should not be admonished." Xing Qiu patted Naofumi Iwatani on the shoulder, "Why do you keep saying these things?"

"Instead of dwelling on the past, why not think about what to eat this morning." Xing Qiu touched his chin, "I eat lightly, and it would be better if there are pastries."

Naofumi Iwatani twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't say much, and didn't tell Xingqiu that he couldn't taste it now.

He just quietly brought Xingqiu to the restaurant. Raphtalia and Filo had been waiting for a long time, especially Filo, holding a knife and fork with a look of anticipation on his face. pouted.

Obviously famished.

Naofumi Iwatani ordered breakfast for them with a bit of a smile, remembering that Xingqiu wanted to eat something light, he even ordered soup for him, but he didn't expect that Xingqiu just froze after taking a bite.

Seeing this, Iwatani Naofumi couldn't help but stare at him. Could it be that the young master thinks the food here is not delicious?

Also, the clothes are so exquisite, how can they be interested in these common people's dishes?

Although listening to him speak clearly and logically, but being able to speak does not mean knowing how to act. Who knows what he said is true or not?Who knows if he can put his words into practice?Even if he could, wouldn't he have other shortcomings?

Thinking of this, Iwatani Naofumi thought of those nobles who looked down on him again, and a hostility rose from the bottom of his heart.

However, in the next second, Xingqiu raised the spoon aggrievedly: "There are carrots in here!"

"……what?"

Xing Qiu put down the spoon, covered his mouth with a livid face: "Sorry, I just can't stand carrots!"
