Chapter 55 Light and Shadow Go Hand in Hand

"Teacher...?"

The weak legs seemed to fall at any time.

Moving forward in a swaying manner, pacing in a trembling manner.

Weak body.

The voice was faint.

Krisa's physical condition was very bad. She was too weak, so weak that she had trouble walking. She could only move her feet step by step with difficulty, slowly approaching Xu Xi with rapid breathing.

The picture was silent, but it had a touching power.

The witch proved one thing with her actions.

In front of the true will.

The sick body could not stop anything.

The light fell on the girl, further illuminating her pale face without blood. She trembled, stretched out her slender five fingers, and placed them on the chair where Xu Xi was sitting.

With this fulcrum, her walking pressure was reduced a lot, and she was able to walk to the front of Xu Xi.

Then.

Krisa saw the familiar face that was sleeping deeply at this moment because of excessive haggardness.

"Teacher...it's okay..."

She tilted her head and blinked.

The truth of the matter is not quite the same as imagined. Xu Xi was not in trouble. He simply fell asleep. Nothing else.

"Great."

A calm voice echoed in the air.

In the chest, the accumulated sadness and worries also dissipated, returning to the empty posture of the past.

Next... what to do?

Krisa was a little confused. After confirming that Xu Xi was fine, she suddenly didn't know what to do. Should she lie back on the stone slab and wait patiently for Xu Xi to wake up?

Light and shadow go hand in hand.

When light appears, shadow will follow closely, because once it leaves the range of light, shadow will become non-existent.

So.

When light falls into silence, where should shadow go?

Regarding this question, Krisa didn't know how to answer. Her life, everything about her, had long been accustomed to staying by Xu Xi's side.

The witch was not interested in anything else.

However, with the witch's current physical condition, what could she do even if she was awake?

She even had trouble taking care of herself.

Not to mention anything else.

So, Krisa gave up those unrealistic ideas of helping with housework as usual.

She stood quietly beside the sleeping Xu Xi with her hands crossed in front of her belly, leaning on the edge of the table, in a very quiet posture, with a calm and indifferent face.

The room was dim, the lights were dim, and the blurred and disillusioned light seemed to be a touch of the old days.

Delicate and gentle, it enveloped the figures of the man and the girl.

The former was sleeping.

The latter stood.

This was the only thing the witch could do at this stage.

At the same time, it was the only thing she wanted to do.

Since the light was sleeping, the shadow would stay by her side until the light warmed the world again and provided the value of the shadow's existence.

But——

How should I put it, this feeling is a bit subtle and a bit strange.

"The mentor's face...", Krisa murmured to herself. She was not as tall as Xu Xi. Although she could see Xu Xi's full face at ordinary times, she had not observed too many details.

And now, Xu Xi was sleeping in a sitting position, and the standing girl happened to see the whole picture.

This was the first time she observed Xu Xi so closely.

The witch saw his eyes that were swollen due to long-term reading of books.

The witch saw his fingers that kept holding the pen even when he was asleep because he was copying all the time.

The witch saw his haggard face with pale lips and strong sense of fatigue due to overwork.

She saw it.

She saw everything.

She saw the passage of time at the temples and the trembling breath at the wings of the nose.

She saw Xu Xi sleeping deeply and everything he had paid behind that deep sleep.

Ah...

Ah...

So, is that so?

The heavy mood seemed to penetrate Krisa's heart in an instant, causing her pupils to dilate slightly.

Originally, the witch thought that if the light was silent, the shadow would lose its shelter.

But now.

The facts told the witch.

Even if the light was silent and the sun went out for a short time, the residual warmth still penetrated into the soul, providing a way for Ying to move forward.

The witch didn't know what words and actions to use to be worthy of the blazing and warm light. Her heart gradually accumulated, her thoughts became more and more chaotic, and more and more impulses accumulated in her chest.

The witch was too clumsy, she didn't know what to do at all.

So.

The witch did the best she could think of based on her understanding.

She carefully stretched out her ten fingers, and with the gentlest movements possible, she slightly lifted Xu Xi's cheek, bent down, let her forehead touch her forehead, and let her nose touch her nose.

The gray-silver hair hung down, and a few strands slid across the man's face.

"May you be well."

Krisa Christina prayed softly.

In the calm voice, there seemed to be a moment when various emotions flashed through, but the overly calm words made people wonder if it was an illusion.

Sticking, touching, and feeling the temperature of the light.

Time seemed to have come to a standstill.

In just a few seconds, it seemed as if a very long change had taken place, and countless feelings that had never been experienced before burst out in the witch's heart.

What exactly was it?

Krisha felt guilty. She kept her forehead close to each other, unwilling to let go of the warmth and closeness, even though she knew that as a "private property" she shouldn't have such transgressions.

suddenly.

It seemed that Krisha's actions disturbed the man's sleep.

Xu Xi frowned slightly and let out a muffled groan. The sound was very small, but it frightened the 17-year-old witch and ran away.

“!!!!!!”

With her weak legs, the witch was able to run at a speed she had never experienced before.

She crawled back onto the stone floor as if fleeing.

She grabbed the bedding that Xu Xi had prepared for her.

Jump in, hide in.

Curl up into a ball.

Like a silkworm that has closed itself off, it wraps itself tightly without leaving any gaps, for fear of leaving any room for observation by the outside world.

It trembles slightly and squirms slightly, which is very cute.

The heart was beating violently, bringing unprecedented tension.

The witch didn't know why she was so scared. Although she had overstepped her bounds, she simply pressed her forehead against hers, but she was so flustered in her heart.

"tutor?"

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

He didn't even wait for the master's rebuke.

Krisha carefully poked her head out and let her eyes peek out of the quilt. After discovering that Xu Xi was still sleeping soundly, her nervous mood gradually calmed down and returned to its former hollow state.

only.

"So weird...so hot..."

Krisha was confused and confused. She stroked her snow-white cheeks with her palms and found that the sides of her cheeks were extremely hot.

The witch suspected that she might have a fever. Is this the price for transgressing against her master?

The witch's knowledge has increased.

She felt that the price was acceptable as long as she was not discovered by her master.
