When Starry Night returned to his residence, Naruto and Sasuke had already climbed to the top of the tree. Looking at the few people left at the table, he wondered if he had really come back so late.
[Starry Night, why are you back so late?]」Kakashi looked at her as she walked through the door, and Naruto also said,"Yeah, we've already finished eating."」
He looked at the dinner on the table. It was probably for himself, but he was too embarrassed to eat it. He turned around and was about to leave when Kakashi stopped him."Where are you going again?"」
[Take a walk.] An affirmative answer.
"But you're not…" Kakashi was in a difficult position. Starry Night tilted her head and looked at him."You haven't been to the forest yet."」Could it be that she was taking a stroll in the entire Country of Waves?
[You haven't eaten yet!] Starry Night called out from behind. He paused in his steps and said calmly, I'm not hungry. With that, he walked out.
Looking at the figure that had left, she sighed,"Doesn't this child care about his own body?」
Sasuke looked in the direction where Starry Night had left, thinking about something.
Dusk had slowly descended, and night followed. The wind at night made people tremble, and the wind was cold. The half-moon emitted a weak light, and the fog spread everywhere, covering the earth with a mysterious veil.
Starry Night walked and stopped on the shore of the lake, looking at the reflection on the water.
The girl in the water looked confused and had a trace of unknown emotions. She sat on the lawn with her back facing up, her hands supporting the grass behind her. She raised her head to look at the starry sky. Her two red eyes looked mysterious in the night.
In this quiet moment, she sensed someone approaching, but she did not poke her head out to look at that person.
[It's already so late. Why are you still here alone?]」A gentle voice came from behind him. It was obvious that it was the aura he had sensed just now.
She didn't respond, and her gaze never left the night sky.
Bai, who had taken off his mask, smiled warmly. Seeing that Starry Night did not have any reaction, he slowly walked to her side."Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"」After taking a glance at him, she ran back to indulge herself in the beautiful starry sky.
He sat at the side with a smile and looked up at the night sky with Starry Night's gaze. In fact, he also found it unbelievable. When he saw this girl, he felt a familiar feeling."Can you answer me?"」
In the quiet atmosphere, the breeze quietly blew against Starry Night's face. She closed her eyes indifferently and quietly said,"It's just a habit."」
[Don't you have any friends?] Don't tell me…you don't treat those children as friends?
An unpredictable light flashed in his blood-red eyes. Starry Night's gaze finally left and turned to Bai, asking coldly,"What's that?」
Bai smiled gently. He felt that no matter how cold the girl in front of him was to him, he still couldn't ignore her."She's an irreplaceable and very important position in everyone's heart."」
When Starry Night heard this, he closed his eyes silently and hid the blood once again.
Bai saw that she did not speak and sighed silently in his heart. He felt that this person had the same loneliness as himself, but he hid it too deeply. This kind of loneliness, perhaps even he could not understand.」
From birth, there was nothing to lose, let alone something important.」Her calm words could sometimes make people misunderstand that she was so sure, but there was also a hint of confusion in her expression.
"But I think your companions are very important to you.」Staring at such a cold, arrogant, and distant girl, Bai not only doubted everything that this child had experienced, but he also didn't want to give himself any hope.
Starry Night still had her eyes closed. She didn't want to answer this question.
Bai looked away, and there was no more conversation. After a long time, his gentle and firm voice came again."I think they are very important to you, but you haven't realized it yet."」
"There are actually two types of loneliness. The first type is to be rejected by others, and the second type is to be rejected by anyone. But no matter which one it is, if someone is willing to interact with you, you shouldn't miss this opportunity.」Bai did not intend to continue. He stood up with the basket and smiled gently."I hope you understand the reason why I said this. It's already late at night. You'd better hurry back to your companions!"」
His figure gradually disappeared into the forest, as if he had never appeared.
The night was still peaceful.
Starry Night hugged his knees and looked at the lake in front of him.
She used to be the White Death God, a terrifying existence. No one was willing to get close to her, and even if there was, it was only for financial benefits. And her heart had long isolated everyone from thousands of miles away. Such a person would not be lonely and would only live as if everything was her destiny...
After his heart slowly calmed down, he gradually heard the sound of footsteps getting clearer and clearer. The person walked to the turf not far from Starry Night, but he did not have the intention to sit down.」
He opened one eye to look at him, then closed it again and continued to empty it, as if he did not intend to listen to it, but even so, Sasuke could not be bothered and said directly,"I want to know how strong you are."」
Seeing that she was still calm and collected, he felt annoyed.」
Contrary to Sasuke's mood, Starry Night was as calm as usual."It's a place you can't reach now."」He opened his blood-red eyes that looked demonic under the night sky and mercilessly told her the difference between the two of them without any room for euphemism,"You can't be a threat to me now."」
Unable to hold back the anger in his heart, he mercilessly pressed Starry Night's neck with one hand and pressed her to the ground. His eyes were filled with anger."Why do you think so?」
She was unable to move, and her eyes were much colder than before. She did not resist or struggle.
His tone was as cold as the cold sky."How stupid to lose control so easily."”
Sasuke's palm strength increased uncontrollably, and Starry Night gradually felt that he could not breathe, but his expression did not change."Since you said so, let me see!" Where did you get the confidence to lecture me like this?」
Starry Night and the pair of angry black eyes met, quietly watching, but did not speak again. It was unknown whether it was because he could not speak or for other reasons. There was only silence between the two of them. Sasuke's excitement slowly calmed down, but the strength in his hands did not decrease.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have reacted at this time, but she just quietly did not say a word.
He looked at those watery and bloody eyes. Why? I could never understand that look in his eyes, even if it was the first time we met.
Starry Night only moved her mouth slightly when she saw that the person in front of her had quieted down, but she could not make a sound. Sasuke felt relieved after noticing it. Seeing her take a deep breath, he felt that he had gone too far.
After calming himself down, Starry Night's calm yet gentle voice said something completely unrelated to the topic just now, but it still shocked Sasuke.
[Want to know? How many people have I killed?"
Before he could digest this sentence, Starry Night continued,"I was an orphan abandoned on the battlefield. The first thing I saw when I was born was blood. That's why…my eyes are this disgusting color.」
Sasuke looked at her blankly. He was just looking at her. They were both orphans, but they had completely different lives.
"The first time I killed someone was when I was three years old. From then on, I couldn't stop my blood-stained hands.」At this moment, she suddenly smiled. This was the first time she smiled in front of Sasuke, and it was so sad and miserable. Just how painful had she been in the past to have such a smile?
Liu Hai covered her eyes, but she couldn't block their eyes. Finally, she seemed to have lost all her strength. Her voice was so soft that it could be blown away by the breeze, but it was clearly transmitted into Sasuke's ears. She moved her lips and murmured.
[Tell me, how many people have I killed?」Was she asking him? Or perhaps he was just asking himself.
Her hands had the smell of blood that could never be washed away…
His entire body froze on the spot. Sasuke even forgot that his hand was still grabbing Starry Night's neck. He did not expect her to say these words and did not know how to react for a moment.
Starry Night had killed someone when she was three years old. This sentence was enough to prove many things. A three-year-old child actually had the ability to kill, so her strength was absolutely unquestionable.
However, he was also very clear that it was impossible for a person to possess such power for no reason. What had Starry Night gone through to obtain it?
Sasuke only knew that the girl in front of him had seen far more of the world than he had, and had seen more blood than he had. Even everything that she had endured…was beyond his imagination.
His hand gradually lost its strength and finally moved away from Starry Night's neck. He looked ahead listlessly and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Starry Night sat up first and placed her hand on her neck. Her face was covered by the shadow and her expression could not be seen.
No one felt good when they were forced to recall the past that they did not want to remember. The two of them had their backs to each other, and Sasuke's heavy voice came from behind." I'm sorry..."
She didn't answer. She silently looked up at the endless night sky.
