After finally calming down, I told Yang Sheng the truth, and we both felt extremely heavy. Yang Sheng and I couldn't think of a good way to help Xia Shu, so we had to go home temporarily with a very sad mood.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of the TV in the living room. After changing my shoes, I walked into the living room and saw Xia Shu sitting on the sofa watching TV. But he didn't seem to care about the plot on TV at all. He stood there like an iceberg with a livid face.
Is this also the effect of the spell? Xia Shu can't even laugh at comedy movies!
"Do you still remember to come back?" Xia Shu suddenly asked coldly, his eyes still fixed on the TV.
My heart skipped a beat. It was bad! Xia Shu told me not to go out, and Yang Sheng also told me not to contact him. But I broke all of Xia Shu's taboos today. He must be super angry now. I only remembered to worry about him and forgot to worry about myself!
"Yes... I'm sorry! Xia Shu, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone out with Yang Sheng. I will never go out again." I hurriedly lowered my head to apologize, but I felt that the storm was coming.
"How many times have I told you not to go out? You came back so late, and with a stranger. Don't you know I would be worried?" Xia Shu really stood up, walked up to me and yelled.
How could Yang Sheng be a stranger? No, that's not the point. Just now, Xia Shu seemed to have said that he was worried about me! Now that he is under the spell, will he still be worried about me?
I looked up with great joy, but saw his confused eyes.
"I'm worried about you? Why should I worry about you? What a joke." Xia Shu forced a self-deprecating smile, disagreeing with what he had just said.
My heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and I felt a dull pain, and more of it was self-blame. Xia Shu was not like this, he was so kind, he must really be worried about my safety, but the spell disturbed his heart, and he invested all his positive emotions on Mitsuki. If this continues, Xia Shu will become an extremely cold-blooded person, and even become Mitsuki's puppet!
"Xia Shu..." I called out anxiously. Seeing that he didn't respond, I mustered up the courage to continue, "I have something to tell you. Stay away from Mitsuki from now on. I think she's a little weird..."
Since Mirei is unwilling to help me, I can only rely on my own ability to convince Xia Shu to stay away from Mitsuki.
Hearing Mitsuki's name, Xia Shu's eyebrows were twisted together again, and he began to look at me carefully, as if he wanted to see through the purpose of my words.
"What are you talking about?" I could clearly feel the intimidating anger in his eyes, and his tough tone made me a little scared.
"I say..." I took a deep breath, and mustered up a little courage. "Stay away from Miyue in the future, and be on guard against her as much as possible. As for the reason..."
Before I could finish my words, Xia Shu interrupted me coldly and mercilessly.
"I don't want to hear you say bad things about Mitsuki in front of me. What right do you have to tell me to stay away from someone? But you, didn't I tell you not to go out alone? You actually went on a date with Yangsheng at the amusement park. This is the last time I warn you, you are not allowed to see Yangsheng again!"
If it were any other time, I would have had a big fight with him because of his tyranny, but now, facing his stubborn attitude, I couldn't say anything. All this was not his true thoughts. He was the most pitiful one, unable to be his true self, unable to control his thoughts and consciousness. The angrier he got, the more I blamed myself. I couldn't do anything to help him, and could only watch him being controlled by the spell...
Suddenly, I noticed that his fierce expression became a little stiff, and his eyes that were glaring at me suddenly softened. Then, he slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on my face.
What happened to Xia Shu? I watched his movements in amazement until the next step, when his fingers brushed the corner of my eye, leaving a trace of water.
Tears! Were they tears? He saw my tears and his mood suddenly changed!
Just as I was staring at his finger in a daze, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly pulled his hand back, avoiding my gaze, turned and walked into the room, leaving me with a look of surprise and doubt.
The warmth of his fingertips still remained in the corners of my eyes, and I couldn't help but smile in comfort. Xia Shu has not been completely controlled by the spell! He still has his own consciousness, and the gentle and kind him is still fighting against the spell. I have to have confidence in him, and in myself, I will definitely help him defeat Milie's spell!
In order to save my energy, I shrank into a small body and hid in the small house, and began to work out a battle plan to defeat Milie. At this time, Xia Shu's door suddenly opened. Through the small window of the house, I saw him walk out, holding something in his hand, hiding it, and looking a little uncomfortable.
He walked slowly to the front of my house, without even looking at what I was doing inside, and threw the things in his hand outside my door, then turned and walked away. Strange, what was he doing so mysteriously?
I opened the door curiously and saw a pink and blue lace quilt on the floor with some small flowers on it, which was very beautiful.
My eyes immediately filled with love, and I jumped out happily, drooling on the quilt, and almost picked up the quilt and kissed it.
There is lace! It looks very warm.
I reached out and touched the quilt. The soft silk touch penetrated through my palm and gradually penetrated into my heart, making me feel a strong warmth in my heart. I hugged the quilt and looked at Xia Shu who was about to walk into the room, and shouted to him: "Xia Shu, thank you so much!"
To be honest, I have never felt better about him this week!
"The weather is getting colder. If you don't cover your bed with more quilts, you will catch a cold and I will have to take care of you. I don't have that much free time!" Xia Shu said awkwardly and slammed the door shut.
The awkward and shy Xia Shu is back. When did he think of preparing a quilt for me? He had been dating Mitsuki all this time, but he still thoughtfully bought me a new quilt. He still cared about me, and this care broke the power of the spell!
I have more confidence! My master is so kind to me, how could I let Milie and Miyue succeed in their plot? Xia Shu, don't worry, I will definitely help you with all my strength and let you return to normal life!
The next morning, I got up early, wondering if Xia Shu would become cold again after a good night's sleep, and walked out of the small house nervously. At this time, Xia Shu just came out of the room, yawned, and put on a linen plaid coat, with his hair hanging on both sides in a messy manner, with a hint of messy handsomeness.
When he raised his eyes, he saw me flying in the air and smiled at me. There was a trace of tenderness in his smile that was rarely seen in normal times, which made me excited.
Great! He's still the normal Natsuki!
What surprised me even more was that he didn't rush out, but walked to the refrigerator, opened it, took out the slices of toast and put them on the table, then walked into the kitchen with the milk.
I only heard the sound of a microwave oven next to me. After a while, there was a "ding" sound and I heard Xia Shu busying around inside for a while, then he came out with two cups, one large and one small.
I flew into the restaurant and sat on the tablecloth. He placed one of the small cups in front of me. The cup was filled with warm chocolate milk, and the rich aroma spread in the air, making me salivate.
"It smells so good, Xia Shu, you haven't had breakfast with me for a long time!" I held the cup in both hands and looked up at him happily.
"Really? I suddenly wanted to have breakfast at home today." Xia Shu took out the bread with a smile, cut it into crumbs with a knife and put it on the plate in front of me, then lowered his head to prepare it for himself.
Woohoo, normal Natsuki is so nice. Although his personality is a little weird, after the inhumane life in the past few days, I like him very much now!
"Xia Shu, don't you have to go to Miyuki's house early to pick her up today?" I looked at the clock on the wall and asked casually.
Oh! What a fool! Why did I mention Mitsuki for no reason? What if Natsuki gets bewitched again after hearing this name?
"Miyuki?" Facing my cautious gaze, Xia Shu seemed a little confused.
"It's nothing. It has nothing to do with Mitsuki. Xia Shu, eat quickly. You'll be late!" I quickly changed the subject.
"Oh no, I'm really going to be late!" Xia Shu quickly swallowed the bread in two or three bites and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen with the plate.
Just as he stepped into the kitchen, I heard the sound of a plate falling to the ground, so crisp that it seemed to ring in my heart.
"Xia Shu, what's wrong with you?" When I heard this voice, I felt something was wrong and quickly flapped my wings and flew into the kitchen.
The kitchen was in chaos, with broken plates scattered all over the floor. Xia Shu was squatting on the floor, one hand leaning against the cupboard, the other hand rubbing his temple, his eyes closed quietly, with a look of pain on his face.
His body was curled up tightly, like a child lost in the night, his shoulders trembling as he tried to find support.
"Xia Shu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? What happened?" Seeing him like that, I was scared and flew to his side and asked anxiously.
"Headache……"
Xia Shu opened his eyes slightly and looked at me, but then closed them again. He spoke two words with difficulty, and as soon as he finished speaking, his lips tightly pursed. The hand holding the cupboard slowly slid down and grabbed the handle on the side, pulling it tightly, as if pulling at a life-saving straw.
"pain……"
Another tiny sound escaped from his throat.
From a close distance, I could see beads of sweat on his forehead, which glowed faintly in the morning sun and reached my eyes. I reached out and touched his cheek anxiously, but I could only worry and do nothing.
"Xia Shu, Xia Shu, what should I do..." I was so anxious that I was about to cry, flying around him.
Why did he suddenly have a headache? He was fine just now!
I searched in my mind what was wrong with me waking up this morning. Was it because I mentioned Mitsuki that the spell took control of him again? Or was there something wrong with the spell itself?
I remember when I was in the elf world, the elders told me that spells that control human minds are against the rules and will have many side effects. Could it be that Xia Shu's headache now is due to the side effects of the spell?
I really want to use magic to relieve his pain , but if my magic conflicts with Milie's, it might make him feel worse. What should I do?
Looking at Xia Shu who was in great pain in front of me, I was helpless and could only make my body bigger, throw myself beside him, hug his head, and use the warmth of my body to comfort him and give him strength.
"Xia Shu, Xia Shu, please don't be in trouble!" I murmured, taking out the lace brooch I always carried with me from my pocket and put it in Xia Shu's hand. "Xia Shu, I don't know how to help you. This is a lucky brooch I made. Although it doesn't have any magic power, I believe it can definitely bring you luck."
His hand slowly clenched the brooch, as if trying to grasp a hope. Seeing him like this, my tears fell one by one, for his pain and for my powerlessness. I don't know if the brooch really worked or for some other reason, but I saw him slowly open his eyes, and his expression was not so painful anymore. He raised his head and looked at me slowly, and his frown relaxed.
Is Xia Shu really okay? Has my lucky brooch worked again?
"Xia Shu, how do you feel?" I asked, holding his shoulders.
"It's okay, don't worry." Xia Shu shook his head slowly, as if he had not yet recovered from the pain just now.
He walked back to the living room, holding onto the wall, and sat on a stool in the dining room without saying anything. I could only sit beside him worriedly, looking at him helplessly. After a while, he suddenly stood up and reached out to grab the schoolbag beside him:
"I'm almost late. I'm going to school first. The kitchen will be cleaned up when I come back."
"Xia Shu, you'd better take a leave. You looked very painful just now. What if you have another attack at school?" I quickly ran to him to stop him.
"You are such a pessimist. I just felt a little dizzy just now. It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Xia Shu pushed me away impatiently and continued walking towards the door.
Dizziness? Will dizziness make you roll on the ground in pain?
I stopped him again with a stern face:
"No, you are not allowed to go to school. You must stay at home for at least a day for observation."
"Stupid fly, you're not a doctor, what are you observing? Get out of the way, get out of the way, I don't have time to waste with you." Xia Shu really waved me away like he was waving a fly and opened the door.
Damn it! He had just recovered and he started calling me a fly again. I couldn't stop him, so I ran to the dining table and took the brooch he had just placed on it, and made a last effort:
"Then at least you have to wear this brooch, or I will never let you go."
"I'm a man, how can I wear a lace brooch? I'll be angry if you don't move away." Xia Shu seemed really impatient and wanted to walk around me.
I opened my arms to stop him, then pinned the brooch in my hand on his coat without saying a word, then stepped back a few steps away from him, with unquestionable determination in my eyes.
He took one look at the brooch and removed it without mercy.
"Xia Shu..." I watched his movements, and a wave of sadness welled up in my heart. I wasn't being unreasonable, I was just worried about his health. Although the brooch has no power, maybe it can really bring him luck? Why can't he understand me? Tears of grievance overflowed from my eyes. I looked up at him, my voice choked.
Finally, his gaze towards me became softer, like a trace of emotion overflowing from the depths of his heart. His hand, which was about to return the brooch to me, paused in mid-air, and did not move. In the end, his hand still hung sadly at his side, holding the brooch tightly in his hand.
"Okay, stop crying, I'll wear it." Xia Shu avoided my gaze and muttered reluctantly.
I immediately burst into laughter, wiped my tears with my hand, and looked at him with great gratitude. Great, Xia Shu really understood me. And he seemed to be afraid of my tears, every time I cried he would give in. This realization made me feel a little happy, as if I had caught him, and it seemed like I was satisfied that someone valued me.
Xia Shu put on the brooch and left reluctantly. I waved my handkerchief triumphantly behind him, full of joy. But when he closed the door, my expression immediately became serious. I still don't know why Xia Shu has a headache, but I am sure it must be related to Mi Lie!
Only Mi Lie knows what happened. I have made up my mind to go to his house and ask for culpability!
There is a spell that can allow me to find all the elves who are carrying out missions in the human world, but my ability is limited and I have never tried it. This time, for Xia Shu, I will risk it all! Closing my eyes, I chanted a spell and searched in a world of white. I don't know how long it took, but I felt that my body was gradually unable to support it, but there was still no sign of Milie. I gritted my teeth and continued to persevere with my last bit of strength. Finally, a burst of light came towards me and drowned me. I was surrounded by the light, and the white outside was a bit dazzling, so that I couldn't see anything. The surroundings were very quiet and no sound could be heard.
Gradually, the light faded away, and I appeared in a room. The room was very large, with a princess bed in the middle, covered with pink bed gauze. Surrounded by clean pink furniture, it looked like a room where a rich lady lived, very gorgeous.
Success! This must be Mitsuki's room!
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, looked around, and finally saw the dog doll on the table. I quickly ran over and took the doll in my hand.
"Milie, come out quickly, Milie!"
I shook the doll in my hand, and a puff of smoke came out of it. In the smoke, I could vaguely see an elf with a pair of wings like mine flying out of it. Mi Lie was holding a book, and he showed an impatient look at me, the uninvited guest.
He snapped his fingers and instantly became human size.
"Milie!" I called his name excitedly.
He still looked impatient, with a mocking and cynical look in his eyes, as if everything was just that in his eyes. He crossed his arms and looked at me, his eyes were cold, without any warmth: "What are you doing here?"
"What did you do to Xia Shu? Why did he suddenly have a headache this morning?" When I thought of Xia Shu's uncomfortable look this morning, I couldn't help but feel a little pain in my heart.
"Whatever I do is my freedom, and it's not your turn to interfere. Besides, I didn't do anything, so who knows why he has a headache?"
"Impossible! You cast a mind-control spell on him. This must be a side effect of the spell, right?" I accused him indignantly.
"Have you ever been to school? Did your teacher ever tell you that spells that control the mind can cause headaches? Spells do have side effects, but they will only cause a slight disorder in one's memory. The headache you mentioned is definitely not caused by the spell." Mi Lie curled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
Isn't it a side effect of the spell? I believe Mi Lie, he will never make a mistake in such professional matters, and Mi Lie doesn't bother to lie.
"So, did you cast any new spell this morning?" I guessed again.
Milie looked at me with a dark look in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura: "I've already said that I didn't do anything. Youye, when did you stop trusting me? I think you've been with humans for too long, and you've picked up their bad habits."
"What did you say? You are the one who has the most bad habits of human beings!" I accused him harshly, but seeing his fierce eyes, I thought that only he could save Xia Shu, and I couldn't argue with him, so I softened my tone and begged him, "Mi Lie, your spell has made Xia Shu unable to bear it. I beg you, please remove the spell from him!"
"I won't lift the spell. I'll say it one last time, his headache has nothing to do with me. Humans are so fragile, and there are many reasons that can lead to physical damage. Do you want to blame it all on me?" Mi Lie's tone became even colder, and what followed was more of a warning, "Yuye, I advise you to stay away from humans. You are just here to complete your job. There is no need to help them wholeheartedly. The better your relationship with humans, the deeper you will fall. One day, you will be entangled by humans and fall into an irretrievable situation." He suddenly approached me, staring at me, as if he wanted to see through me.
"No...no. The humans I know are warm creatures. They won't hurt me. Don't say these inexplicable words just to change the subject." I looked at his eyes and myself in his eyes, and suddenly felt extremely gloomy. I couldn't help but take a step back away from him.
Mi Lie in front of me seemed to have suddenly turned into a demon, slowly growing bigger in my eyes. I once again saw his mocking eyes that seemed to see through everything. I couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Hmph, Yuye, you will never be my opponent. Don't bother me anymore, I will never lift the spell." Milie was very happy to see me compromise. He pointed his finger at me, a white light flashed, and my eyes returned to the scene at home.
Mi Lie actually used magic to turn me back! Is his ability so strong? I felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water over my head, chilling me from head to toe.
I lost to him, just like I never beat him in every test in school. Now he is even stronger, why should I, such a useless person, save Xia Shu?
I sighed in frustration, and when I turned around, I saw a figure appear in front of me, blocking the light. I raised my head in a daze, and as soon as my eyes touched the cheek of the person in front of me, I took a step back in fear.
"Xia Shu, you came back so early today."
His face turned livid and he glared at me fiercely. He sat down on the sofa beside me and stared at me blankly without saying anything. However, the indifference emanating from his body could instantly lower the temperature in the air.
"Shouldn't you be at school? Why did you come home suddenly? Is your head still hurting?" Seeing that he still didn't look well, I took a step closer to him with concern, of course I was still very cautious.
"How dare you ask me!" He stretched out his hand to me and opened his palm. Lying in his palm was the lace brooch I gave him this morning. The veins on his hand were bulging, and he pinched the brooch fiercely with his fingers and threw it to the ground.
"Snapped."
The brooch fell to the ground, its pins deformed by the ground, and I heard something break inside me.
"How many times have I told you not to go out alone, and not to see Yang Sheng again! Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"
I went out to see Mirei, not Yangsheng! Why did Xia Shu suddenly become so scary? Didn't he happily call me a stupid fly this morning? Could it be that he was under the control of the spell again because he saw Mitsuki at school?
I had a lot of things I wanted to ask him and explain to him, but I ended up opening my mouth and not being able to say anything.
"Don't deny it, and don't explain to me. Just now at school, I saw Yang Sheng also had a brooch exactly like the one you gave me this morning. If you didn't go to him to give it to him, where did it come from? Only you would like this kind of childish lace!" Xia Shu's eyes sank slightly and fell on the brooch on the ground. He bent down, picked up the broken brooch from the ground and placed it on the glass coffee table.
"I actually thought this brooch was some kind of lucky charm this morning, so I wore it. Do you know what my classmates at school said about me? They saw that Yang Sheng's brooch was exactly the same as mine, and they said that my girlfriend was cheating on me. Now the whole school is spreading rumors! If you keep going like this, Mitsuki will definitely tell my family. Do you want the whole world to know that you live in my house and force me to kick you out?"
"I have no idea what happened!" I looked at the brooch on the table aggrievedly, my mind blank.
By the way, when I first met Yang Sheng, I gave him a brooch to thank him for helping me out. I didn't expect that he still kept it, and Xia Shu saw it today!
"I'm sorry, Xia Shu, I didn't know I would cause you so much trouble. I apologize. But I swear, I haven't contacted Yang Sheng since I saw him at the amusement park that day. As for the brooch..."
"Stop talking! You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to make any unnecessary explanations to me!" He looked at me with a mocking smile, "The fact is that you living in my house will only cause me a lot of trouble. You said you were an elf, and you said you came to help me realize my wishes, but tell me, what did you do for me in the end?"
"You..." I felt sad, and all the words were stuck in my chest, making it feel stuffy. I could only look at Xia Shu with tears in my eyes, looking aggrieved, but I couldn't say anything.
Yes, I can't do anything well. But I keep working hard for you! Do you know that I almost used up all my energy to help you today? But you only see my shortcomings!
I held the brooch tightly in both hands against my chest, looking at Xia Shu's face full of blame, and tears of unwillingness finally flowed uncontrollably.
"You're just trying to get me out by saying that. I know you hate me. You've disliked me from the beginning and don't want me to live here. If that's the case, then why am I staying here? I'm leaving! If you want me to leave, I'll leave!" I looked at him with grievance, "Anyway, I'm just a big trouble. It's just right that I'm gone, and you'll feel a lot more relaxed."
Xia Shu lost his temper and stood up from the sofa and yelled at me, pointing his hand at the door: "If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't keep you here anyway! It's best if you leave. I'd like to have some peace and quiet."
His words completely broke the string of my sanity.
"You said it...Okay, I'll go now!" I flapped my wings and flew into the air. I looked at him for the last time, held back my tears, turned around and flew towards the door.
As soon as I turned my face, tears burst out violently.
I covered my mouth with my hands to stop myself from crying.
Xia Shu, you make me so sad!
I don't know if he was under a spell to drive me out, but I was really desperate. He no longer listened to me, and even my tears couldn't make him compromise! I was so smug this morning, thinking I had caught him and that he cared about me, but it turned out to be all fake! It was all an illusion! He didn't listen to me at all, like an angry lion, unable to see clearly, not caring about anything, and wanting to devour everything around him!
It turns out that my power is so small that I can't change him at all. Maybe I didn't escape because I was angry with him, but just to escape from my incompetent self...
I flew out the door, turned into human size, and ran downstairs with infinitely complicated emotions. Looking at the strange world outside, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and looked at the surrounding environment helplessly. The world is so big, but there is no place to take me in. Is it because I am an incompetent elf? I can't protect my master and I am disliked by my master, so no one can help me...
I walked aimlessly on the road, and unknowingly walked along the familiar street to Xia Shu's school. I still remember that it was here that Xia Shu agreed to let me stay at his house. On that day, I thought my future would be bright. Unfortunately...
I stood at the school gate, crying alone.
"Xiaoyou! What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a familiar voice stopped my tears.
I looked up in disbelief, and saw a tall figure standing in the sun. He slapped the basketball rhythmically and strode towards me. The golden sunlight gave him a soft halo, and he looked as dreamy as an angel. Even with the light behind him, I could recognize this person - Yang Sheng!
"Yangsheng, Yangsheng..." I murmured his name, and all the grievances, reluctance, fear, and worries seemed to overwhelm me in an instant. I quickly ran over and threw myself into his arms, crying out in pain.
"Xiaoyou, what happened? Don't cry, don't cry." Yangsheng comforted me in a panic, touching my head. Facing his gentleness, I couldn't hold back the pain in my heart, as if I wanted to shed all my tears.
Yang Sheng finally stopped talking and just held me tightly, supporting me with his body. Gradually, I got tired of crying, and finally raised my head from his arms and spoke tremblingly:
"Natsuki kicked me out. He doesn't want me anymore."
"What happened? Why did Xia Shu drive you out?" Yang Sheng couldn't help but shout in surprise, "Could it be that the spell you mentioned has completely controlled him?"
"I don't know, but he doesn't listen to me at all and wants to drive me away. Yangsheng, what should I do?" I grabbed Yangsheng's clothes tightly, as if I was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Don't cry first, tell me what happened?" Yang Sheng was very anxious, not knowing what had happened.
I tried hard to hold back my tears and told him about Xia Shu's changes. Yang Sheng also seemed confused.
"Xiaoyou, why don't you go to my house and have a rest first? It's dangerous for you to hang around outside alone. We will slowly study Xia Shu's matter." Yangsheng thought for a long time and said to me seriously.
"Yangsheng, thank you." I couldn't help but feel extremely grateful that he was willing to take in an incompetent wishing elf like me.
"Haha, you're welcome. Xiaoyou thought of me first when she encountered difficulties. I am so happy." Yangsheng suddenly held my hand affectionately and said.
Facing his affectionate eyes, I was a little at a loss and quickly pulled my hand away. I instinctively avoided his eyes and didn't want to guess the meaning of his eyes.
