Civilization Guardian Front

Chapter 190 Five? The Door Opened Quietly

night falls...

The days are short and the nights are long in winter, especially at the northern tip of France at a higher latitude. It is only six o'clock in the evening, and the sun has sunk below the horizon.

Unlike Etretat, which is brightly lit at night in big cities, it is just a small tourist town. The street lights are not densely populated. Usually, one light is set at intervals of 100 to [-] meters. The rest of the light sources come from residential shops on both sides of the road. .

Once night fell, the whole town seemed to fall into a deep sleep, allowing the quiet night to shroud it.

If there are still some lights in the town, Luo Ping's house on the cliff of Awale is completely melted into the night, and the half moon hanging high in the starry sky sprinkles silver and white moonlight, adding a thin layer of light to the lonely house on the cliff. Shayi.

Robin's mansion, entrance...

"...Hoo...hiss..."

The girl with honey-colored fluffy hair curled up against the door leading to the outside of the house, buried her face in her embraced knees, and breathed evenly.

However, when she fell into a deep sleep, her petite body trembled slightly.

Thin silk pajamas cannot resist the invasion of low temperature in winter, especially at night, when the temperature which was already less than 10°C dropped by 2-3°C, the chill was even worse.

The coldness that penetrated deep into the blood vessels of the skin continued to return to her mind, forcing her to wake up from her sleep.

"Well..."

Riko slowly opened her eyes, and rubbed her unfocused eyes with her small hand.

As far as the eye can see, it is almost all darkness...

If it was daytime, there would still be thin sunlight shining into the room through the gaps in the curtains, but now it is gone.The temperature dropped significantly, and the cold and humid air made the pores on the skin shrink.

"I actually... fell asleep..." the girl murmured in disbelief, looking at the candlestick at her feet.

"Is it already evening?"

Three candles had been extinguished, indicating that she had slept for at least a few hours.

Sitting in the porch and falling asleep, it took a long time to wake up...

This kind of thing has never happened before.

There are no beds, pillows, dolls, or quilts, only the cold floor, but this is the most peaceful sleep she has had this month.

Is it because... you know that person is outside?

Obviously, I no longer want to be accompanied by extravagantly, but I still yearn for that warmth deep in my heart...

(Yes, that person...)

Thinking of Chios sitting outside the house, the girl put her small face on the door panel, trying to catch a trace of movement.

However, no matter how carefully she listened, there was only the sound of the sea wind whistling in her ears.

A deep sense of loneliness surrounds me.

"You really left..."

Pressing the door with her plain hand, Riko lowered her head, hiding her loss in the dark shadows.

On a cold winter night, even if I am inside the house, I am shivering from the cold, not to mention outside, the air is not only damp and cold, but also the cold wind is blowing, no one can bear it.

Therefore, she didn't blame Qios.

The other party said that he was willing to be friends with him, even after being rejected, he still sat at the door for so long, but he still couldn't wait for Lizi to say a word...

I only blame myself for being weak and not daring to open the door.

I only hate her for enjoying the other party's kindness blindly, ignoring that she should respond.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help clenching her hands tightly.

The nails pierced into the palm of her hand, easily cutting open her delicate skin, and the dark red blood oozed out from between her fingers and dripped onto the ground.

"Maybe he hasn't left yet..."

Perhaps, the young man was still waiting for his response outside the door, and the previous silence was just a prank by the other party.

Deep down in his heart, this ridiculous idea appeared inexplicably.

Even Riko herself couldn't help being amused by this stupid self-deception...

(Do you want to open the door to confirm?)

As soon as this idea appeared, it was out of control.

Knowing that it is very impractical, knowing that there is no possibility of even one in ten thousand, knowing that you will fall into an even more empty despair...

Rationally, Riko knows that she just doesn't want to admit the fact that she was abandoned again; emotionally, she has to witness it with her own eyes before she is willing to give up completely.

Like a knife stuck in my heart, I can't help but want to pull it out.

Letting the blood spurt out would make for a quicker death.

"Riko is so stupid..." The girl stretched her hand towards the door lock, with a self-deprecating wry smile on her delicate and pretty face.

"I didn't open the door before, I didn't want to confirm until people left.

Pull up the two pins behind the door panel, grasp the knob with your fingers, and turn it half a turn clockwise.

Plop, plop...

Even though she was sure that her behavior was just a dying struggle, her heart still couldn't restrain herself from beating wildly the moment before opening the door.

With trembling palms on the doorknob, Riko took a deep breath to calm down her nervous mood, and then pressed down hard.

The door was pulled back, and the scene outside came into view.

Dirty and messy courtyards, dirty fountains, deformed decorative shrubs...

"Look, there's nothing there..."

Talking to herself indifferently, Riko looked away from the front, the last light in the brown-red eyes was about to disappear.

At this time, out of the corner of the girl's eyes, a dark blue flashed.

Turn your gaze down to the right...

When Riko saw the source of the strange color, her pupils couldn't help shrinking suddenly.

It was a dark blue cloak embroidered with gold patterns, and it was currently covering the shoulders of a young man wearing a white noble dress.

Leaning against the column next to the gate, with his left leg straight and his right knee bent, he is sitting in a chic posture with one hand on his knee, and there is a picnic box with the lid closed beside him.

The cold winter wind blew through his hair, but it only made his black hair shake slightly. He closed his eyes, his handsome face was quiet and peaceful, and his chest heaved slightly with his breathing.

On this cold winter night, a man who didn't wear any thick warm clothes actually sat and fell asleep sitting at the door of someone else's mansion.

"Are you stupid..."

Riko laughed, but her voice was choked with sobs:

"Why do you want to manage such a hopeless person? Why do you want to stay for Riko? Why can you... so disregard yourself? Why on earth..."

Her knees softened, and the girl sat down next to the young man, grabbing his collar and questioning him one after another.

Although the words are blaming the other party, they are actually resenting themselves.

"I'm sorry...Chios..."

Riko's head rested on Chios' heart, and tears poured out uncontrollably. They slid down her cheeks and wet the collar of her white dress.

The girl's actions and voice naturally awakened the sleeping youth.

Slowly opening his eyes, the amethyst-like pupils quickly regained focus, and looked down at Riko who was crying on his chest.

The corners of Chios' mouth ticked slightly, and then disappeared under a gentle expression.

"The door is finally open, Riko." Putting her left hand on Riko's honey-colored long hair, she gently stroked her fluffy and soft hair.

Looking into the eyes of the girl who raised her face, the young man asked softly:

"From now on, we're friends, right?"

Chapter 190 Six? Please give Riko a little more warmth

"From now on, we're friends, right?"

Hearing this, Riko raised her head from the other's warm chest, staring blankly at the young man in front of her.

Paying so much for Riko, just hoping to be her friend...

The other party's voice seemed to flow into the heart along the ears like a warm current.

For a while, the winter chill was dispelled, and the only thing that could be felt was the hot magma flowing in the blood vessels.

"Um..."

The girl nodded, and then pressed her petite body against the young man.

not enough...

Please give me...give Riko some more warmth...

As if hearing her inner hope, Chios pulled up his dark blue cloak, put his arms around Riko's back, and completely wrapped her in his arms.

The left hand continued to stroke the girl's honey-colored hair, and through such movements, he further conveyed his own temperature to the other party.

Since the death of her parents, the girl has never had a moment of peace of mind like this.

Even if the wind is severe and cold, as long as they hug each other so tightly, Riko will no longer feel cold.

Whether physically or mentally...

Seeing the girl's attachment, Chios smiled faintly.

For this moment, he had been sitting outside blowing the cold wind all day. Even though his physique was close to the limit of a mortal, it didn't mean that he could still enjoy himself in such an environment.

Although, the results proved that his sacrifices were rewarded with greater rewards.

But Chios definitely doesn't intend to stay outside the door any longer...

"It's a bit cold outside, can you let me into your house?"

He still remembered that when he made this request last time, Riko directly pulled down the hammer of the pistol.

now...

Faced with this question, Riko no longer refused as before, but said a little shyly:

"The house is very simple, so it's okay..."

The implication is that it actually agrees.

"You're wrong..." Lifting up a strand of the other's hair and kissing lightly, holding the girl's pretty face, Chios stared at her hazy eyes.

"How can a place with Riko be considered crude?"

"Yes...is that so..."

The girl whose little head was dizzy from the youth's words blushed slightly.

She didn't expect that she had such an important meaning in the other party's heart...

Observing all the reactions on the other party's expression, after confirming that Riko had completely classified himself into the "reliable" category, Chios didn't hesitate anymore, and stood up with one hand on the ground.

"Hold the picnic basket for me, please..." Pointing to the rattan basket on the side, the young man smiled and explained to Riko:

"I bought far more than I could handle and left over half of the food... besides, at least a third of it was for you."

The girl lifted the basket with both hands and found that it was indeed a bit heavy.

The food a person needs to eat is definitely not that heavy...

"I'm sorry, Riko was too self-willed before..."

Feeling the weight in her hand, and thinking of how hostile she once was to Chios, she couldn't help lowering her head, disappointed and apologetic and said:

"I really want to open the door, but I'm really scared, afraid that you will turn away from Riko...I'm sorry...I'm really...I'm sorry..."

"There's nothing to be sorry about..." Kneeling on one knee, Chios cupped the girl's cheeks with both hands.

"This shows that you know how to protect yourself, especially after experiencing great grief, it is actually a good thing to be on guard..."

Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and purple eyes and brown eyes were staring closely.
