It had been two weeks since the battle at Tsukigase Reservoir.
During this period of time, Xia Yan's life was very regular.
School, Funeral Society, apartment.
Every day, he would go to Funeral Society to learn the fighting skills of the army and the use of firearms. Moreover, ever since he commanded a battle, Xia Yan had become interested in tactics and strategies.
He often read all kinds of classic battle cases. He was not interested in these things at all in the past, but now he was reading them with great interest.
In other words, Xia Yan had awakened his interest in fighting skills and became more active and belligerent.
He would often bring Qi and the other two to the Funeral Society's database to look at the battle records.
Taking a girl to read a book was something Xia Yan would have scolded him for," He deserves to be groped for a lifetime ", but now he was doing it himself.
However, with Xi Qi's personality, as long as he was with Xia Yan, it didn't matter where he went. As long as she was with Xia Yan, she would feel happy. Besides, Qi didn't hate books.
However, although Qi did not react, some people felt that it was not worth it.
"Seriously, what's so good about this kind of man?”
Thrush and Qi sat on the chairs, the two girls nibbling on apples. Thrush looked at Xia Yan, who was reading a book in the distance, and complained unhappily.
When Xia Yan brought Qi to Funeral Society for training, Thrush came over almost every day to " monitor " him. She would quarrel with Xia Yan almost every day. Although she was often the one who lost in the end, the girl seemed to enjoy it and still came every day.
Today was no exception.
"This kind of guy who abandoned a girl and actually read a book alone. He's not considerate at all. Qi, to think that you could fall in love with him."
"Oh." Qi Ying opened her lips slightly and bit off a small piece of the apple. She chewed it slowly and swallowed it before shaking her head and answering,"Yan has many good qualities and is very considerate.”
"Strengths?" Ye propped her cheek with her hand and turned to size up Xia Yan.
Xia Yan had a serious expression on his face as he stared at the book. Men who were serious were often very charming.
He looked at Xia Yan's serious face and frowned slightly as if he was thinking about a difficult problem. With his black-rimmed glasses, he looked like a young man who loved literature.
Her heart seemed to have been hit by something, and it began to accelerate. The black-haired girl's face was slightly red, and she looked at Xia Yan in a daze.
Qi was a little confused. Why did the girl suddenly quiet down? He turned his head slightly and saw the expression on Thrush's face.
For some reason, seeing Thrush's shy expression, Prayer suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest and uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Thrush?"
"No, no, no…It's nothing!"
After being discovered by Qi staring at Xia Yan in a daze, Thrush quickly denied with a flushed face.
"I admit that he has a good brain and a serious attitude. It couldn't be seen from the outside, but his combat strength did give the girl a sense of security…And... Moreover, you've become prettier recently."
Thrush counted the impressions Xia Yan left on her and then recalled that night when Xia Yan suddenly pushed her onto the table. Thinking of this, Ye could still feel the warmth of Xia Yan's palm on her butt.
He immediately said in embarrassment,
"However, just the weakness of being 'abnormal' is completely not enough!”
"Hey, hey, can you lower your voice when you speak ill of me?”
"I'm telling the truth, hentai!”
"You…"
Xia Yan raised his dead fish eyes and helplessly looked at Ye. He sighed, closed his book, and stood up. Then, he slowly walked in front of Thrush, causing the girl who had just been talking about his shortcomings to tremble in shock.
"F * ck... What are you doing!"
"It's nothing!"
He closed the book and gently patted the girl's head, causing the thrush to make a cute " woo " sound. The girl immediately covered her head and realized that Xia Yan had placed the book on top of her head.
Then, Xia Yan revealed a frivolous smile and flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Help me put it back."
Xia Yan said as he walked towards the sofa where Qi was sitting. He picked up the jacket from Qi's hand and put it on.
"What? Why don't you take it yourself?"
Thrush grumbled as she took the book off her head. The book was still a little too big for a girl who was only fourteen years old.
Thrush could only hug the book with both hands. Her hands could still feel the warmth of Xia Yan on the cover. She subconsciously rubbed it a few more times and asked absent-mindedly.
"Where are we going?"
"Of course it's school. It's almost time for class.”
"Hmph, I don't believe that you're still a good student.”
"Haha."
Xia Yan smiled nonchalantly and walked to the door with Qi. He turned his head and waved at the girl.
"See you tomorrow."
"Humph."
Thrush ignored him and turned its head away. Seeing this, Xia Yan didn't mind. He shrugged and left Funeral Society with Qi.
However, not long after Xia Yan left the room, the black-haired girl seemed to be discouraged and hung her body weakly. A lonely expression appeared on the girl's face as she hugged her book.
She slowly walked to the window and looked at the figure that was slowly leaving with Qi.
Her slender little hand gently pressed against the glass and waved slightly.
“.. See you tomorrow."
As she spoke, her breath turned the transparent glass hazy.
Her lonely expression made people want to hug her in their arms.

"Really, Thrush. You really like to compete with me."
Xia Yan shrugged helplessly and chatted with Qi. Although he looked quite helpless, Xia Yan did not feel impatient with the thrush.
Bickering with Thrush was a good side activity for him.
"Yan."
Qi called out to him softly, making Xia Yan turn his head to look at the girl.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"If there are other girls who like Shangyan. What will Yan do?"
His deep red eyes stared at Xia Yan. Although his expression did not change, Xia Yan could feel Qi's serious attitude.
This serious attitude made Xia Yan swallow the words," Of course I'll reject them and only choose to pray."
“....”
After a moment of silence, Xia Yan did not answer. In the past, if he had gotten Qi's favor, he would have wanted to quit the game and live a sweet life with Qi.
However, things were different now.
He would not be satisfied with that kind of life.
Humans ate the wisdom fruit. Therefore, he had rationality, knew how to satisfy, control, and create.
The apostle had eaten the fruit of life. Therefore, he was fond of fighting, possessed strength, possessed desire, and learned to destroy.
Xia Yan was now a mixture of contradictions.
“... I know."
Qi nodded, then gently held Xia Yan's hand as if nothing had happened.
P.S. I really like tsundere cat girls.
