Chapter 428: I Want to Know About Your Past

The night of Lunar New Year's Eve was much livelier than usual.

Colorful lights twinkled like meteors, casting vibrant halos onto the windows, echoing the flickering fireworks in the distance.

In the blur, one could still hear the joyful sounds of children.

However, at this very moment, Xu Xi felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This was because an uninvited "intruder" had appeared on the bed on this New Year's Eve.

"Klisa, do you not plan on going back?"

"No," the witch shook her little head, "I am afraid you will be lonely."

Although she said that, Xu Xi looked at the witch beside him and felt it was exceptionally subtle.

The girl clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, covering herself thoroughly, with only her two little eyes peeking out, constantly watching Xu Xi.

No matter how one looked at it, the lonely one seemed to be the girl herself.

Xu Xi chuckled.

"Then thank you for your company, Klisa," Xu Xi reached out, smoothed Klisa's messy hair, and smiled as he kept his witch company.

The current situation reminded Xu Xi of the first New Year he spent with the girl during the second simulation.

Time flies. The little girl from the past had transformed into a god. Yet, that sense of reliance remained as strong as it was in his memories.

"Mentor." In the night, Klisa spoke with a dazed voice: "Are you not going to chase me away?"

Before this night raid, the witch had prepared herself mentally to be scolded. But Xu Xi did not do so.

He only gently stroked the girl's long, ash-silver hair with a tender touch: "Klisa is usually very well-behaved, so I think… being willful once in a while is acceptable."

Klisa seemed very happy. Although her expression was calm, her eyelashes trembled from time to time.

"Mentor." She softly called out to Xu Xi, pulling the quilt with both hands to let the thick comforter cover both herself and Xu Xi: "Thank you."

Expressing her gratitude with clumsy words. Her tone was as calm as water. This was the beauty exclusive to the witch.

"There is no need for thanks," Xu Xi's palm slid through the witch's hair, stopped at the tip of her nose, and he gave her a small flick.

The night was deep. It was time to sleep. But because of the witch's intrusion, Xu Xi did not feel the slightest bit sleepy now.

Therefore, he could only lie on the bed, looking up at the ceiling with the witch, talking about past events in life. As they chatted.

Moonlight shone into the bedroom through the window. Because of the angle, it formed a layout of half-light and half-shadow.

Xu Xi was on the bright side, his face young, his body full of vitality, without any signs of the old age the witch worried about.

"Mentor." "Can you tell me about yourself?" Klisa lay beside Xu Xi. Quietly and peacefully.

Her hands were still clutching the edge of the quilt, watching Xu Xi with those beautiful eyes.

"Klisa, what aspect do you want to know about?" Xu Xi had originally thought that what the girl wanted to ask about were those years in the Magic World before he met her.

But the witch's answer was unexpected. "I want…" "To know about things regarding you on Earth."

The witch had many things she wanted to say, but in front of Xu Xi, she lacked the courage. Thus. She brought up this topic.

"That might disappoint you, Klisa. My experiences on Earth were very boring, even bordering on terrible."

Drifting memories floated with the wind. Past thoughts came chasing the light. In the room, on the bed, the man showed a reminiscent expression.

"As for the most recent time, you and Mo Li and the others know, because my legs were injured, I could only sit withered in a wheelchair."

"And in the earlier years…" "I was an orphan, sent to an orphanage to grow up, dull, boring, with nothing worth mentioning."

"Even among ordinary people, I was in the most ordinary bunch."

Some memories are not beautiful. But they are also a part of life.

Xu Xi gently told the witch about his past, which was, as he said, a life that was extremely mediocre in every way, even a bit sloppy.

Dry and tasteless. Dull and boring.

"Very ordinary, right, Klisa?" After speaking roughly through it, Xu Xi looked at the girl to his right.

The girl shook her head. Her expression was somewhat confused, likely puzzled by this question. How could it be ordinary? How could it possibly be ordinary?

The witch, who had wandered since childhood, knew better than anyone how difficult it was to survive alone.

"Plop—" Like throwing a stone into a lake. The moonlight, due to the blinking of her eyes, presented a shattered mottling.

Klisa's eyes lowered, and she felt a voice becoming clear from the bottom of her heart, like the splashing of muddy water, or like the blowing of a warm breeze.

Past memories flashed rapidly. "Klisa, what a nice name." "This necklace really suits Klisa."

"Sorry, Klisa, for letting you see me in such a pathetic state." "Klisa, you… have graduated."

The sun that gives the shadow meaning to exist. It was not born that way. He just experienced the cold first, then gave the warmth he longed for in his heart to someone who was equally helpless and lost.

With a Mortal's life, with a limited lifespan, he created a beautiful dream for the witch. This dream. Ensnared the life of the Supreme God.

"Mentor." The room was empty and silent. The young girl's voice was so abrupt.

"What is it, Klisa?" Xu Xi turned to look, and on the bed, he happened to meet the eyes of the witch, who had also turned to face him.

A long time ago, Xu Xi had checked Klisa's eyes. Those eyes were hollow and lifeless. Like a mirror, clearly reflecting Xu Xi's figure. It was still the same now. It had never changed.

The witch inched closer to Xu Xi, getting extremely close, so close that Xu Xi could see his own surprise and astonishment in the witch's eyes.

Forehead touched forehead. Noses touched noses. The witch named Klisa Christina finally spoke the words in her heart.

"Mentor, I have… I don't want to wait for you anymore."

I have always, always, always been waiting for you. But the heavy feeling called "love" kept accumulating in my chest. Making me unable to wait any longer.

"When I was most helpless, it was you who let me continue to stay in this world, it was you who gave me the meaning of existence, you need to be responsible for this."

In the dirty alley, only you heard the wailing cry for help. Since that day. The shadow inevitably became stained with the color of light, chasing the light.

Klisa's hands were pressed against the sides of Xu Xi's face, face to face, eye to eye, with ripples of emotion in her calm demeanor: "Mentor, to me, you are the only one."

I am not the only one you saved. But for me. My only one has always been you.

"Klisa, I…" Xu Xi already did not know how to reply.

"You know very well what I am saying, don't you?" The witch pressed closer step by step. It must be said that the tactics of a martial arts brute indeed have their merits.

Just at this moment. A knock on the door came from outside the room. "Thump—thump—" "Thump—thump—" "Sir, are you asleep?"
