Nakano Mayu raised his hand and pinched his stubbled chin, a look of confusion on his face.

A killer is unlikely. How could a killer hide in someone's bed?

But he still cautiously used the sheathed Duan Qing to slowly lift the quilt up little by little.

The first thing that caught the eye was a head of short black hair that was about ear-length. Under the short hair was a smooth and delicate neck. She was facing away from him and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

His slender waist was currently wearing his big white T-shirt. The lower part was blocked by the sheets and he couldn't see it for the time being, but he could clearly tell that it was a girl...

This back view...

Nakano Mayu looked stunned, then walked to the other side of the big bed.

"Huh..." The sleeping girl looked demure and well-behaved, with thin rosy lips on her fair skin and a straight nose.

As if affected by him lifting the quilt, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

Her dark eyes, filled with a heavy sense of sleepiness and some confusion, were about to meet his gaze.

Nakano Mayu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, and his hand fell to the ground with a 'clang'.

The girl on the bed tilted her head, and there seemed to be some doubts or a feeling of not waking up in her eyes.

The room suddenly fell silent.

"Little... little mute?!"

After two breaths, he reacted and exclaimed, his eyes showing joy.

Seeing this woman again after such a long time made his heart beat faster.

"Well..."

The girl on the bed whimpered and seemed to react. She stretched out her two slender arms from the quilt and made a 'hug' gesture towards him. She also showed a sweet smile on her face, which seemed to be a bit flattering.

.

Nakano Mayu looked at the girl in front of him who had reunited after a long absence, and couldn't help but grin. The two rows of white teeth were completely exposed, and the gums could almost be seen.

But both of them had red eyes, especially the girl on the bed, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit.

He subconsciously opened his hands to hug the girl on the bed, but halfway through the movement, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately put his hands behind his back, and at the same time said in a cold voice with a straight face:

"You still know that you are coming back? It's been more than a year! I haven't responded to any messages or even called you. Do you know how I've been spending this past year?!"

Although the joy on his face was really hard to suppress, his fierce tone still made the girl on the bed laugh.

The girl's smile was very quiet, without any sound.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhiqiu half-sited up, raised her hand to hold his hand, a flattering smile appeared on her pretty face, she looked up at him without saying a word.

Although Nakano Mayu didn't throw away her hand, he still kept a straight face and said nothing, acting as if he was still angry.

The girl grabbed his hand again and shook it. Because she had just taken it out of the bed, the girl's little hand was warm and soft.

Seeing the girl's silent coquettish look, he softened and asked angrily and concernedly while sitting on the edge of the bed:

"How is your health now?"

"Whoa whoa..."

The girl pointed to her mouth, shook her hands twice, then made fists with both hands, making a toned posture, with a bright and sunny smile on her face, and no trace of frustration could be seen.

"Still can't speak?" Nakano Mayu's heart was shaken, and he switched from neon language to Yanguo dialect, and his tone was gentle.

When the two of them were alone together, in order to facilitate this little mute who was not good at Japanese, he basically spoke Yanguo dialect.

"oh..."

The girl nodded and looked at him with a guilty conscience.

"Don't worry, little mute, even if you can't speak for the rest of your life, I won't dislike you..." He raised his hand and rubbed the girl's messy bob until it looked like a chicken coop, speaking in a doting tone.

"Oh~~" the girl cheered excitedly, then she pushed his palm away with a pout, picked up a pink mobile phone from the bedside table, pressed the button for a while, and then a burst of artificial sounds.

The synthesized Yanguo dialect was played from the mobile phone in the form of a machine voice:

"Zhenyou's Yanguo dialect is still very standard, even better than the uncles and aunts in my hometown."

"I don't know if you are praising me or hurting me. Didn't you just transfer to another school and I was the translator for you? You idiot..."

"Whoa whoa..."

The girl giggled and gave a thumbs up. Although she didn't say anything, Nakano Mayu could understand what he meant.

"If you praise me, don't compare me with uncle or aunt!"

"Tap tat tat..." Lin Zhiqiu's fingers quickly typed on the screen of the mobile phone. Even Nakano Mayu, who has been surfing the Internet for many years, is ashamed of this hand speed.

【Have you missed me during this time?(づ￣3￣)づ╭～】

The girl raised her mobile phone, and there was a line of Yanguo characters on it, and the words contained the girl's affection.

"I still miss you? You think so beautifully, little mute..."

Nakano Mayu stared at her and looked angry.

"Oh~?"

Lin Zhiqiu did not refute, but smiled and opened the chat window between the two of them in the line and slid it up. Each one was filled with messages that the boy had sent before.

From recent inquiries to earlier thoughts or soliloquies.

In every message, you can see the young man's longing between the lines...

"Goose..." Nakano Mayu just glanced at her, then stretched out his hands with some irritation, pinched the girl's cheeks and pulled them to both sides.

The girl's pretty oval face was almost pulled into a round face.

"How dare you tease me, right?"

"Oh~" the girl whispered and put her phone on the bed, clasping her hands together as if begging for mercy.

"Hmph! I'll let you go this time. If you dare to play tricks on me next time, I'll crush your face into a winter melon..."

After the fun was over, Nakano Mayu suddenly remembered something and asked: "I remember I locked the door, how did you get in?"

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of key presses rang rapidly, and after a while the girl raised her phone: [I came in because the window in the backyard was unlocked, Mayu was so careless╮(╯﹏╰)╭]

"Don't add some weird modal particles and emojis at the end of the sentence, you idiot!"

【Okay pinch(〃'▽'〃)】

The straight Yanguo font combined with strange modal particles and emojis made him smile bitterly, but he also had a long-lost feeling.

Nakano Mayu often surfs Yanguo's website. The wall can only protect against the inside but not the outside. As for the text, it is not a problem for him.

Therefore, he is somewhat familiar with various popular terms and memes in the Yan Kingdom.

"Why did you go back to the Yan Kingdom after you disappeared for half a year? There is no news..."

"..."

The girl was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of his unit of time. A knowing smile appeared on her lips, and then she typed and explained: [I just went back to see the doctor, and then found a remote place to recuperate￣▽￣]

"Then what did the doctor say?"

[The doctor said there is good news and bad news]

"Huh? What bad news?"

[Because I haven’t spoken for a long time, my vocal cords have deteriorated a bit￣へ￣]

"..." He frowned when he saw the fonts on the screen, and resisted the urge to spank the girl and continued to ask: "Then what's the good news? Is there a chance of recovery?"

[The good news is that because of long-term typing, the sensitivity of my fingers can reach ten times that of ordinary people (^_??)☆]

Nakano Mayu glared at the girl: "You think you are very humorous, right?"

The girl grinned and smiled, and she didn't seem to feel inferior at all because she couldn't speak.

The original angry expression on his face was also infected by the girl's smile, and slowly turned into a smile.

After a while, after the girl stopped laughing, he suddenly thought of something, scratched his hair and asked:

"Then after you come back this time...will you go back?"

The girl said nothing, just looked at him and shook her head.

"What do you mean? Should you go back or not?"

The girl nodded again after hearing this.

"..."

Nakano Mayu gritted his teeth and glanced at the girl's butt covered under the sheet: "Tell me what I'm saying!"

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The girl did not answer his question, but instead raised her phone lazily: [Want to sleep]

When he saw the girl's answer, he fell silent immediately.
