Chapter 4 Confession

Lin Xue was sitting on the white marble tiles with her back against the cold wall. She looked at the beautiful man in front of her. Her mood was very complicated. She didn't understand. Shouldn't she be happy that the cute Xiaobai turned into a handsome man? Why would she feel that she would rather Xiaobai be the well-behaved and sensible white fox than the man named Liu Ruxi in front of her.

She didn't want to lose Xiaobai, it was the warm support she found after losing her parents. She liked to take care of this cute white fox. She found that she was with Xiaobai every day during the winter vacation. She fed Xiaobai, watched horror movies with Xiaobai, helped Xiaobai take a bath, and played with Xiaobai. These scenes were returned to Lin Xue's mind. It turned out that she had already taken care of Xiaobai as her family, treated it as her best friend to accompany her, and also regarded it as a cute and pitiful pet. She couldn't accept Xiaobai's turn and left her. She was afraid that she would become the same as before, living alone every day alone, and no one knew the pain in her heart.

The panic and darkness in her eyes were unaware of it. Liu Ruxi took her expression in her eyes. He slowly walked towards her. He stretched out his slender and white right hand to Lin Xue and asked: "Lin Xue, is there anything wrong? Does it hurt? Can you get up?" He frowned his beautiful eyebrows, with concern in his tone.

Lin Xue looked at his familiar dark eyes. She was not used to the man's concern for her for a moment. He was different from Xiaobai. Xiaobai never made a sound. Seeing Lin Xue staring at him in a daze, Liu Ruxi held Lin Xue's thin shoulders with both hands and slowly helped her up. When he saw Lin Xue's eyes diffusely looking ahead, he gently took her left wrist and walked towards the living room.

Liu Ruxi held Lin Xue and sat on the dark green sofa. He went to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm water and took Lin Xue's hands to warm. Lin Xue finally looked at Liu Ruxi blankly. Liu Ruxi said to her: "Lin Xue, I know you have many questions about me now. But as long as you ask, I will tell you." Lin Xue looked at him and shook her head: "Liu Ruxi, in fact, I would rather you be the Xiaobai who made me pamper and hurt. You are too sudden. I can't accept my Xiaobai is you. I want to take a break." After that, she walked straight into her room without waiting for Liu Ruxi's answer and closed the door.

The man sitting on the sofa stroked the square green crystal under his collarbone with his right hand. He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried?

After a nap, Lin Xue got up and drank a glass of water. She didn't notice Liu Ruxi. She looked at the new nest she had made for Xiaobai.

Lin Xue heard the sound of the door lock opening. Liu Ruxi was still dressed in white, but her hair was only at his collarbone. Moreover, her white hair turned into black hair, making his face look even whiter. He looked like an ordinary college student.

He raised his lips at Lin Xue and smiled. Lin Xue was fascinated by his beauty. She thought to herself: Are all vixen so beautiful and seductive?

He said to Lin Xue: "Lin Xue, I bought some vegetables and I will cook them for you, right?" Lin Xue thought about it and nodded. She hadn't eaten what Liu Ruxi cooked yet!

Liu Ruxi came to the kitchen and put on the blue-bottomed floral apron, and then washed the vegetables skillfully and quickly. Lin Xue looked at his slender and white hands busy in front of the cutting board, faucet and kitchen knife, and couldn't help but worry that his beautiful and slender hands would be injured.

Lin Xue looked at the new white slippers and things bought from the shopping bag on Liu Ruxi's feet. She stood behind Liu Ruxi and asked, "Liu Ruxi, where did you get the money to buy these things?"

Liu Ruxi was stunned for a moment. He wiped the water droplets on his hands with a white cloth and looked at her and said, "Lin Xue, in fact, I couldn't make any sound since the day you met me. I couldn't even use the simplest talismans and magic. Even if I remember the process of casting and drawing spells clearly, I could only live like an ordinary little fox. I had tried forcibly consuming the energy of the Yuan Dan before and turning myself into a human again, but it only lasted for one second. Until this morning, I was fighting with you.

After opening the green square box, I smelled the same kind of breath. This breath surrounds the green crystal for a long time. I wanted to get close to it and let you help me put it on. I was as if I was being moved by this green crystal. Without a trace of pain, I regained the ability I had before. The money I bought was taken from the bottomless bag." After he said that, he stretched his right hand in front of him, and a small beige cloth bag as big as Lin Xue's fist appeared out of thin air in the palm of Liu Ruxi's right hand.

He opened the pocket that had been closed, put his finger into the bottomless bag and took out a stack of pink Grandpa Mao handed it to Lin Xue. He said to Lin Xue: "The bottomless bag contains a lot of things I threw in before. If I want to take it out, I just need to concentrate and think about it for a moment and take it out."

Lin Xue looked at the stack of real money in her hand and secretly praised her.

Liu Ruxi said to Lin Xue again: "Lin Xue, since I put on this green crystal necklace until now, I found that I could not take it off at all. I thought the only way was to destroy this green crystal, and then I could take off the necklace. But I think if the green crystal is destroyed, I may not be able to transform into a human form for the time being, so I would ask you to give me some time, and I will definitely return the green crystal necklace to you intact."

Lin Xue looked at the man with a sincere look in front of her and thought: He is like a beautiful mystery. What secrets do he hide?

Lin Xue nodded and said, "You don't have to hurry to return it to me, I believe in you."

Liu Ruxi smiled faintly. He looked at Grandpa Mao in her hand. He took out two stacks of Grandpa Mao from the bottomless bag and gave it to Lin Xue, saying, "Lin Xue, I thank you for taking care of me and adopting me during this period. This is my intention. Please accept it."

Lin Xue looked at him seriously, and she took it down and asked him: "Are you leaving?"

Liu Ruxi blinked and said, "I'm going back to Rongshan. If I take off my necklace, I will come and return it to you. If you want to find me, go to the place where we meet for the first time when we have time, or you can call me over to you." After that, he took out a pink jade bracelet from the bottomless bag and handed it to Lin Xue: "If you want to contact me, tap it three times, and we can call. If you have an urgent matter, break it up and I will appear in front of you immediately."

Lin Xue took the jade bracelet and said slowly: "Thank you."

Liu Ruxi said gently: "No need to thank you." After that, he turned around and started cooking.

Lin Xue looked at his thin back and thought: "The day he was leaving finally came. When he was still Xiaobai, he thought that it would come this day. Xiaobai would not accompany her for the rest of her life." Her heart became inexplicably sad.

Liu Ruxi quickly prepared the meal, and Lin Xue asked him: "I see you are so skilled. Did you cook often before?"

Liu Ruxi said while placing the bowls and chopsticks: "Well, I learned to cook vegetables in order to take care of my master."

Lin Xue asked curiously: "Master?"

Liu Ruxi whispered: "Master, he is very nice to me. Since childhood, he not only taught me to read and write, but also taught me a lot of things, but he passed away five years ago."

Lin Xue nodded and stopped asking.

There were three dishes and one soup on the square dining table, namely: braised eggplant, mashed potatoes, stir-fried carrots and mushrooms, and a pot of lettuce soup. It looked good. Lin Xue used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of mashed potatoes in a bowl. She picked some with chopsticks and put them in her mouth to taste. She narrowed her eyes and exclaimed: "Liu Ruxi, this mashed potato is really delicious! I will shed tears of happiness after eating this potato! Whoever marrys you in the future will be her blessing!"

Liu Ruxi covered her lips and smiled: "Eat more if you taste delicious. See if you are so thin, you are still growing in health now! I found that you don't eat well in normal times, so what should you do if you don't grow tall?"

Lin Xue quickly responded: "Okay, I understand." She looked at Liu Ruxi. He only served half a bowl of rice, and his thin and white fingers were picking up dishes with chopsticks.

Lin Xue said: "You still say to me! You are not the same myself. You eat so little food, just as little as you did when you became a fox! Look at how thin your figure is now, you will grow tall and look good, just as thin as an ancient sick handsome man."

Liu Ruxi smiled helplessly: "There is nothing I can't eat too much since I was a child. If I eat too much, it will be disgusting and I will vomit when I eat meat."

Lin Xue looked at him sympathetically: "You are so pitiful~"

Liu Ruxi smiled slightly and put a piece of braised eggplant in Lin Xue’s bowl. She was like Lin Xue’s elder. When Lin Xue was a child, she wanted to have an older brother like Liu Ruxi.

Liu Ruxi ate less. After Lin Xue finished eating, he immediately packed up the empty dishes and bowls to clean them. Lin Xue looked at his back with reluctance. Liu Ruxi quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks. After he wiped the dining table, he sat down on the dining chair next to Lin Xue. Lin Xue asked him: "How are you planning to go back? Or walk?"

Liu Ruxi said: "I don't have to walk or take a bus, because I have a street light. Just carry it, say the detailed and accurate address, and follow the direction pointed out by the light, and you can quickly reach the place on the ground where I want to go. It should be a few minutes from your house to Rongshan."

Lin Xue asked: "Liu Ruxi, are you Doraemon? Why are you so powerful? Have these strange treasures! Did you find them yourself or your parents gave them to you? By the way! Where are your parents?"

Liu Ruxi looked at Lin Xue with a curious look and said, "Actually, there are many things in my bottomless bag that my parents may have put back, and some of them left to me by my master. My master said that my parents broke the barrier he set up in Rongshan. They put me, who was only half a year old at the time, and left a box of banknotes and a note with the date of birth, and a bottomless bag next to me. They left hand in hand. The master found that the barrier was destroyed and hurriedly chased me out. He saw a man in black and a woman in blue holding hands. They used light skills together and quickly headed to the southeast. The master used his skills to chase him hard. The man in black said in front: 'Brother, please take care of our son for the time being.' After that, they disappeared quickly in the night. Then the master slowly raised me."

Lin Xue looked at Liu Ruxi sympathetically: "Oh, that's it."

Liu Ruxi thought for a while and said, "Lin Xue, after I leave, you can come to Rongshan to play with me when you have time. You can also contact me with the jade bracelet, and I can also come and play with you."

Lin Xue nodded and said, "Well, I understand, I will look for you."

Liu Ruxi looked at her and smiled gently: "Lin Xue, you have to take good care of yourself, do you know?"

Lin Xue also smiled back to him: "Yes, I will."

At this time, Liu Ruxi's short black hair grew rapidly at an incredible speed until his waist finally turned white. Lin Xue said: "Didn't you cut your hair short and dye it black again?"

Liu Ruxi replied: "I used my internal force to shorten my hair and turn black because I went to the supermarket to buy vegetables just now and didn't want to attract too much attention." After that, he walked to the shoe rack at the entrance and changed into his white cloth shoes.

He turned to look at Lin Xue: "I won't take away these slippers, and I will leave them for you to wear when I come to your house to return the necklace next time."

Lin Xue nodded, and Liu Ruxi took out a blue paper lantern from the bottomless bag. The paper lantern automatically ignited when he lifted it, emitting a soft blue light. He said to her: "Lin Xue, goodbye."

Lin Xue replied: "Goodbye Liu Ruxi."

The two looked at each other in the eyes.
