Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 158 Accompany you

Niwa glanced at him sideways and then immediately looked away, feeling resentful in his heart.

This doesn't look like they don't know each other. If you don't know, you would think that Brother Cheng Yan has a deep hatred with Mr. Escher.

Forcing himself to come back to his senses, Niwa looked at the distinguished guest in front of him who was related to the development of the Tadashi Sword Forge, and put on a humble smile again.

"Mr. Escher, it's getting late. Let me take you back."

Escher's feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his body unconsciously looked towards the small building behind him.

The fingertips can already feel the wetness in the palm of my hand, and the wounds from scratching are mixed with sweat and hurt like needles.

"Are those two people the workers of your factory?"

A cold sweat slid down Niwa's forehead. He didn't want Aqi's identity to be exposed.

"I guess so. They are all my friends. The shorter one is called Aqi. He..."

"He's tall."

Niwa was about to mention Aqi's identity in one sentence, but was interrupted before he could finish.

Looking up and meeting Escher's unabashed gaze, Niwa sensed something was wrong.

Mr. Escher must have known Brother Cheng Yan. It seemed that the focus of his inquiry just now was Brother Cheng Yan, and it seemed that Archie just asked in passing.

But Niwa really didn't know much about Cheng Yan's origins.

"The tall one is called Cheng Yan, and he is the benefactor of our knife forging shop. Thanks to him for helping us buy the raw materials, otherwise I'm afraid that the Ta'er Knife Forging Shop would have closed down a while ago."

"That's really kind."

Escher squeezed out every word one by one, and all he could see was Cheng Yan trying to avoid him but sticking close to the boy named Aqi. His words unconsciously carried a hint of coldness.

Niwa shuddered, feeling a little nervous, unsure of the man in front of him's attitude towards Cheng Yan.

I felt hatred just now, but now I feel that it is not just pure hatred.

Thinking about having to discuss business with Escher in the next few days, Niwa decided to tell brother Cheng Yan to hide for a while.

The moon had already risen, and Niwa finally sent Escher out of the Tatar Sword Forge.

At the same time, Cheng Yan, who had been eavesdropping from the second floor nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and walking into Aqi's room, Cheng Yan sat on the edge of the bed and patted the bulge on the quilt.

"He finally left. I was scared to death when I saw him."

Archie frowned, his head buried in the quilt, his lips slightly parted, his face a little pale.

Cheng Yan sensed something was wrong and raised his hand to touch his face.

"It's not hot. Did it get broken just now?"

Worry arose in his heart, and Cheng Yan leaned over to whisper in Aqi's ear.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Aqi didn't respond. He just moved his lips twice and muttered something. Even if you listened carefully, you couldn't make out what he was saying.

Cheng Yan covered him with a blanket and said, "Hold on, I'll go ask Niwa what to do now."

There is no fever and no external injuries. Could it be that he was injured by being hit against the tree by Zhuo Feng?

Cheng Yan became even angrier with Zhuo Feng and was about to go downstairs to find Dan Yu, but when he turned around, his wrist was grabbed.

"Don't go..."

Cheng Yan turned back to comfort him, "I'll be back soon after I ask Niwa. It won't be long."

"don't want……"

Looking down from this angle, you can only see Archie's eyebrows and eyes. With his eyes closed and brows frowned, he looks a little grumpy, but when he opens his eyes, he looks as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Cheng Yan's heart softened and he held his hand.

"Okay, I won't leave."

Dragging a stool to the side of the bed and sitting down, Cheng Yan poured things out of the bracelet and lit a stove in the room.

The two of them quickly filled their stomachs during the day and had not eaten a single grain of rice until nightfall.

While porridge was cooking on the stove, Cheng Yan held Aqi's hand with one hand and gently patted his chest with the other hand, browsing the items in the system store with an empty gaze.

"Qingxin Pill... the universal Qingxin Pill. System, give me one."

[Host, he has no use for it. He is neither a human nor an object, so he cannot get sick.]

Cheng Yan frowned, "But he is feeling very uncomfortable now."

[The host just needs to accompany him]

Cheng Yan wanted to insist, but his hand was pinched.

I looked down and saw that the person on the bed had opened his eyes.

Cheng Yan immediately asked, "Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Archie blinked slowly and put a little more force on his hands.

Cheng Yan did not resist and let him hold his hand even though it hurt a little.

"Is it because he fell from the chopping peak? I will give him a good scolding later! He hasn't had a seizure for so long, and now he causes trouble for me."

Aqi still didn't speak, but just looked at Cheng Yan with his eyes open, without blinking. His serious look made Cheng Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead.

"Respond to me, I'm worried about you...hiss, you didn't hit your head, did you? That would be a sin."

"Boom"

Archie raised his hand and tapped Cheng Yan on the head, then let go of Cheng Yan's hand.

"I'm fine, just took a nap."

"You woke up so suddenly, were you talking in your sleep?"

Archie tilted his head, "What did I say?"

Cheng Yan held up his face and stared at him, "Telling me not to leave, to stay with you or something like that."

Aqi paused, his cheeks slowly turned red, and he suddenly turned around with his back facing Cheng Yan.

"You heard wrong."

Seeing that he was shy, Cheng Yan put his worries aside and poked his back with his finger.

"Oh, why are you so shy? Just tell me you're scared to be alone for a while, and I'll definitely come to accompany you."

Aqi twisted his body to avoid Cheng Yan's fingers.

"You're annoying! Who's afraid of being alone anymore."

Cheng Yan took his hand back, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, eat something and rest, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Aqi was stunned, and did not immediately refute Cheng Yan. He pursed his lips and spoke in a low voice.

"I said I'm not afraid."

Cheng Yan raised his hand and ruffled his hair.

"You're not afraid, but I am. I was stared at by a stranger for so long. I was worried that he would climb through the window when I was sleeping alone at night. Just think of it as keeping me company."

Archie slid off the bed, "Then I'll reluctantly agree to it."
