Love from the Male Protagonist’s Harem

"Miss, this kid..."

The tourmaline, who has always taken care of Gu Peijiu’s daily life, looked a little surprised at the young lady who was hurrying up holding a black-clothed boy. After he recovered, he hurried up, "Miss, let me hold it, you..."

As soon as he stepped forward, the strong smell of rust suddenly permeated. Even if the tourmaline was tightly wrapped, the tourmaline could still see the rich blood stained on the white clothes of my lady at a glance, just like the flowers blooming on the other side of the yellow spring. The brilliant ones are a little frightening. .

The girl in the red and white maple dress took a step back, her eyebrows were cold, her voice was faint, "Go get some water, it's hot."

Tourmaline panicked: "Yes."

Is it the blood of the child in your arms? What's the matter, can it hurt like this?

Tourmaline is boiling water in the kitchen while wandering around. My lady always loves cleaning, but this time...

The water in the cauldron was boiling and it was already boiling. The tourmaline that came back to his senses filtered the boiling hot water into a wooden basin, put a towel on it, and hurriedly walked towards Gu Peijiu's room with the basin.

Lifting the bead curtain, the tourmaline subconsciously lightened his footsteps and whispered: "Miss?"

But seeing my lady sitting on the side of the bed, the handsome teenager lying on the soft bed with pale face, frowned brows and cold sweat on his forehead. He pressed some chapped lips tightly, and his chest was ups and downs, very painful and uneasy. Looks like.

"pain…"

Gu Peijiu gently stroked his forehead with her hand, and nodded to her when he heard the words. The tourmaline put the basin on a side shelf and said anxiously, "Miss, this...I will take care of it?"

Gu Peijiu didn't speak, but looked down slightly, and when he glanced at the tourmaline, he saw that the young man's hand was tightly grasping the corner of his lady's left sleeve, and his finger bones began to turn blue.

It seems to have caught the only life-saving straw.

The tourmaline was dumb.

"I'll take care of him." Gu Peijiu said, pausing, "You wrung out the towel and get those files."

"…Yes."

The tourmaline agreed, wrung out the wet towel in the basin and handed it to Gu Peijiu, turned around and went to get the file. Gu Peijiu left one hand free for him to pull on his sleeves, folded the wet towel with the other hand, and gently applied it to the young man's forehead.

"It hurts, it hurts."

The boy's voice was hoarse, but he tugged her sleeves tighter.

I just know it hurts.

Gu Peijiu paused slightly, not knowing what was in her heart. In the end, he just silently dipped his fingertips with hot water, and touched the boy's chapped lips, moisturizing them bit by bit.

She had fed him hemostatic pill before, and the wound would not bleed again for the time being, but the pain of tearing the wound was inevitable.

Gu Peijiu felt a little complicated when he thought of the action of the boy who couldn't stop Dan Jue hitting his wound against the corner of the table.

"...Miss, the file is here." The tourmaline holding the file carefully said, "Is it on the table?"

"Yeah." Gu Peijiu nodded, then got up and wanted to pick up the dossier. He felt that the people around him wanted to leave. The young man suddenly seemed to be stimulated, "Don't, don't go—"

Gu Peijiu paused, stopped his movements, and said, "Go and call the doctor at the foot of the mountain and let him see the injury."

"Yes."

The tourmaline is gone.

"...Don't go." The boy's voice was slightly crying and weak, "...it hurts."

Gu Peijiu looked at his tight sleeves, his eyes slowly moved upwards, and finally stopped on the pale face of the young boy who kept crying for pain in a coma.

For a long while.

"Well, I'm not leaving."

Gu Peijiu sat down and gently shook his hand holding her sleeve. The young man's hand was clearly skeletal, and it was thin and distressing.

After she said she would not leave, the young man held her hand, his brow frowned because of pain, but his expression was slightly calmer.

Gu Peijiu felt a slight jump in his heart, and heard the boy's low, soft whisper.

"... Doudou, you... don't let me go."

==

Xia Ge felt that she was going to die of pain.

It may be that the time for the anesthetic given by Su Chuang to her has passed. The poison on the reborn dagger will give people a very strong pain. She is too dead, and the wound is now as sharp as salt. , Burning pain.

It hurts so much that she wants to wake up, but because of the previous spiritual energy backlash, now her head is still buzzing, as if she was half-hanged in the abyss, half is the pain of reality calling her to wake up from the sleeping abyss, and half is The exhaustion of the spirit dragged her into the dark abyss of eternal sleep.

Everything seemed bizarre and painful.

Everything in his mind began to become complicated, some memories of the past, which were deliberately obscured by her, began to slowly surface.

"What are you stupid? Shuangshuang, we should go find food."

"Ah, Shuangshuang, what shall we eat today?"

The shadow that had been blurred began to slowly become clear again.

She remembered.

She thought that she almost forgot.

-Shuangshuang is the name of this body when I just crossed into this world.

Shuangshuang is a little beggar, about six or seven years old. There is a good friend named Doudou. Doudou is older than her and how old is Doudou. Doudou himself doesn't know.

The two were begging together in a village called Nanming, and lived a day of eating and worrying.

Nanming Village is a very poor village. Xia Ge was experiencing a famine when Xia Ge passed through. Although Shuangshuang's body was born with great strength, he was only six or seven years old.

No money, no food, no beauty, nothing, Sanwu Xia Beggar, oh no, I have to say something, she has a friend named Doudou.

At that time, the sky was full of stars, and two girls who had just gnawed leaves climbed onto the dry crooked-neck tree, trying to calm down by blowing some wind, so as to discuss the future life.

Just finished gnawing on the leaves of Peas: "What do you want to do when you grow up?"

Passing through Xia Ge, who had been hungry and cold for two months, wrapped in the torn clothes wrapped around her body, looking forward to the future with a melancholy expression: "Well...probably to become rich, it would be best if I could eat every day. Although it’s a bit difficult now, dreams always have to be there...or become particularly powerful, like punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten."

Then she can go to robbery.

The local bully named Zhu at the head of the village has been uncomfortable for a long time, but unfortunately without hardware, she would have been on it long ago.

Well, the more official way of saying it is...robbing the rich and helping the poor?

Doudou was at a loss: "...Shuangshuang, why are you saying something I don't understand again."

Xia Ge paused, looked at his thin arms and legs, and finally sensibly tossed aside the terrible idea of ​​robbing the rich and helping the poor, decided to continue to be a friendly socialist successor, and was gentle with Doudou. Dream: "Just eat fragrant and spicy every day, lick the yogurt lids and throw them one by one."

Doudou: "What's the yogurt lid?"

Xia Ge was perfunctory: "It's delicious."

Although I didn't understand, Doudou still sincerely blessed her friend: "Shuangshuang, there will be that day."

—There won’t be that day, because there is no Wei X yogurt, and there is no yogurt lid.

Xia Ge, who was blessed, was not very happy. Although she didn't want to lick one yogurt lid and throw one at a time two months ago, there is absolutely no problem if she wants to lick one and throw a hundred.

But just about three minutes ago, Xia Ge, who could once throw a hundred yogurt lids, tasted the taste of sycamore leaves.

That smell is really... hard to describe in a word.

Xia Ge covered her mouth. In order to forget the smell, to care about the inner life of her little friend, and to enrich her boring begging life by the way, Xia Ge asked dullly, "What do Doudou want to do in the future?"

Ah, it seems that two elementary school students are exploring dreams under the warm red sun of socialism.

Xia Ge held her mouth full of leaves and looked at her little arm.

Well, in fact, she seems to be in the big kindergarten now.

Doudou looked up at the stars for a while, then whispered for a while: "In the future...I probably hope...to be free forever."

Xia Ge: "???"

How can Doudou have such a high level of life and life understanding in such a hungry and cold condition?

Is it too free now?

Free to the taste buds began to sink with the phoenix leaves. Hey.

Xia Ge just wanted to tactfully refute the little fan friend who had just gnawed phoenix leaves with him, but heard Doudou's voice faintly sounded, "Shuangshuang, I think we are very good like this, although we can't eat. But it’s very free. I didn’t know what’s good about freedom before, but look at the slaves who were sold, and the girls who were captured as prostitutes. Although they can eat every day, I feel like I’m I don't envy them at all."

Xia Ge paused and stopped talking.

Well... Since the other party thinks this way, she has reason.

Although a free little beggar dreams of being more free, he is indeed full of slots...

"... Then don't you want to be better?"

Xia Ge still decided to save the country by a curve, cutting it from the side, "Doudou, we are like this, in fact, we are not free at all."

Doudou looked at her, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

"There are not only chains and rules that imprison people, but also hunger and poverty." Xia Ge said, "It is reasonable, in fact, as long as people live, they will not be truly free..."

Doudou looked at her with his head tilted, as if he didn't quite understand.

"Oh, you might understand if I say that-let me give you a chestnut."

"What will you eat tomorrow?"

Doudou's face wrinkled: "..."

Xia Ge: "Look, we can't even decide what to eat tomorrow. How can this be freedom now?"

This chestnut is really appropriate.

What to eat tomorrow is indeed...very unfree, they are about to face a very real problem.

Doudou hugged her legs and looked at the bright stars above the night sky. Perhaps the realistic proposition that Xia Ge just put forward was too difficult. She decided to ignore this inedible chestnut, "Shuangshuang just said...Want to become very powerful?"

Xia Ge was still worrying about tomorrow’s breakfast. He lost interest in Zhan Wang's life. Although he was not very interested, he still replied: "Yeah, it's great...Everyone knelt down and called my father the best."

Seeing Doudou's blank eyes, he obviously didn't understand why Xia Ge liked to ask others to call her father.

… Elementary school students are so troublesome. They don’t know anything.

Xia Ge paused, "Ah... I mean, I want to become a person admired by a lot of powerful people... That's it, the kind that the emperor salutes me when he sees me... Well, it becomes that kind of look. Just a shining person."

After talking about Xia Ge, he sighed.

It's getting dark, and her big kindergarten class is fine and doing daydreaming with the pupils.

"Shiny people?" Doudou was strange, "will there be people who shine?"

Xia Ge: "..." No, wait, it's actually a metaphor...

Doudou didn't know what he thought of, and his brows stretched out and he was very happy. "After both become more powerful, will they shine? Like..."

She thought for a while, and pointed to the sky, "Like those stars?"

Xia Ge: "..."

How should I put it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is actually not what you think...glowing.

Xia Ge: "No, yes...become a dazzling person..."

Doudou hasn't been to many places and doesn't know a lot of things. In fact, Xia Ge thinks Doudou is a little silly to be innocent.

It's silly and kind of cute as a pupil.

Xia Ge thought for a while, and decided to explain in a way that Doudou understands, "It's just that he has the ability, is very powerful, and can be liked by many, many people with his own ability... Even in the crowd, he can be seen at a glance, such a person. , That's the'dazzling' person."

"Actually, you said that the stars are also right." Xia Ge looked up at the sky, melancholy. "They are all being looked up to."

Doudou understood this time and laughed, but she thought about it, and was upset again, "But when it's so powerful, you have to take care of many, many people? Just like the village chief...but he has to take care of many, many people in the village. People, I’ve been worrying all day, his hair is falling out. If both of them are like that, they will definitely be very tired. I don’t want to lose both of their hair, it will be ugly."

Xia Ge remembered the bald "old" village chief in Nanming Village in his twenties. He paused for a while and was deeply convinced: "...That's what it said, it's still a little bit less powerful, it would be nice to have enough food anyway. "

"alright."

Doudou tilted his head and watched Xia Ge for a long while.

"But, Shuangshuang, you said you are not good, why do I think you are also shining?"

Xia Ge looked at herself subconsciously: "..."

Doudou: "I think you are also a dazzling person."

Seeing Doudou's seriousness, Xia Ge couldn't help but laugh, but her heart still warmed up.

It's really worthless. After living for more than 20 years, he was comforted by a child in the end.

"Since I can shine in your eyes, then I must take good care of you." Xia Ge decided to pretend to be tender. She followed the tone of Doudou, "I can't become a star that takes care of many, many people, but I They can take care of Doudou!"

Doudou asked obediently: "That pair, give a chestnut, what shall we eat tomorrow?"

Xia Ge: "..." This chestnut is not delicious, let it go.

I'm almost starving to death, and boasting that I can take care of Doudou, really... where's the confidence coming from.

"Ah! By the way!" The bitter Xia Ge thumped his hand and his eyes lit up, "I know what to eat!"

Doudou looked at her with bright eyes.

"I remember there was a swamp on the other side of the village..." Xia Ge said, "Where shall we go to see?"

The light in Doudou's eyes dimmed immediately, her head shook into a rattle, and she grabbed her sleeve, "Don't go, many people are missing there... The villagers said there will be cannibals."

Xia Ge: "That's a lie! I'm very powerful and strong, I believe I can protect you!"

Doudou is soft, "I'm afraid of ghosts."

Xia Ge smiled and bent his eyes: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can protect you."

Doudou looked at her eyes, and she lost consciousness for a while. Maybe she was too hungry. Maybe she thought Xia Ge's eyes were very beautiful. Doudou finally pressed her lips and stopped opening her head, "Well... OK. ."

She whispered, "Both, I believe you."

Xia Ge nodded, patted her chest and said without shame: "Believe that I am right, I'm better than Brother Chun!"

Doudou looked blank: "???" What is Brother Chun?

Xia Ge: "...Well, Brother Chun is really amazing... a shining person."

Doudou immediately nodded when she understood, obediently: "Yeah, Shuangshuang is better than Brother Chun!"

Xia Ge: "..." I don't know why I didn't feel complimented.

In fact, to be so confident, the main Xia Ge knew that the village head was indeed a swamp. The villagers would say that there were evil spirits that could eat people there. Maybe someone accidentally got stuck in the swamp and didn't get up and died in it.

And what she wants to eat is on the periphery.

As long as it's on the periphery, it doesn't matter.

Xia Ge brought Doudou close to the periphery. The swamp was dim and there were clumps of reeds. Xia Ge squatted on the ground and pulled it for a long time. He made mud, the stars and the moon were bright, Doudou watched her movements curiously. ,after awhile.

"Haha, sure enough!" Xia Ge excitedly showed Doudou the water chestnuts picked from the ground as if offering treasures, "I finally don't need to gnaw the phoenix leaves! Ah... Ah!"

There were many insects in the reeds, and Xia Ge was itchy and uncomfortable. He sneezed several times in a row.

It was dark all around, Doudou was flustered, she couldn't help smiling when she watched Xia Ge sneezes, she couldn't bear to be curious after smiling, she looked at the black ball in Xia Singer, "...what is this?"

"Water chestnuts!" Xia Ge curled his eyes, "Eat!"

"Wait, I'll look for it again." Xia Ge squatted down again, digging in the reeds for a long time, and finally dug five or six water chestnuts. Originally, Xia Ge wanted to dig more, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find it. When he arrived, he was finally dragged back by Doudou amidst the howling of wild dogs.

"Hurry up, go home, the wild dog barked, it won't be good if you encounter a wave of evil spirits." Doudou said.

"What is the evil spirit wave?" Xia Ge wiped the water chestnuts clean with his sleeves, handed one to Doudou, and was curious as he walked back.

"...Anyway, it's a very terrible thing." Doudou took the water chestnuts, and couldn't describe what the evil spirit wave was, but it was still obviously very terrible. It was so terrible that Doudou would have lingering fears just thinking about it, "Just...all The evil spirits gather together at night to eat people, and the villages where the evil spirits are encountered are basically no bones... Anyway, it is a very terrible thing."

She thought for a while and added, "I heard that only dying people and babies can predict when the evil ghost tide will come, because they can see ghosts... I heard that wild dogs will bark too."

"Isn't this a society that believes in science and Marxism?" Xia Ge took a bite of water chestnuts, and the crisp and sweet taste splashed in her mouth. For a moment, Xia Ge thought that she had regained a new life. The evil ghost tide was thrown aside, which violated the laws of science.

With tears streaming down my face, I finally ate something that was eaten by a bite of people! Why didn't she remember it before! Regardless of whether he believed in science and brother Chun, he believed in Marx or Engels, but now she believes in water chestnuts!

Water chestnuts!

Never chew on the leaves again! It's going to die if you nibble again! Only when people live can they have faith!

Doudou also took a bite, and his eyes lit up suddenly, "It's delicious!"

"Haha, let me just say it!" Xia Ge triumphed, "This is the faith in life!"

"Faith? What?" Doudou was ignorant.

Xia Ge said "Ah" and looked at the water chestnuts that had been bitten in half in his hand, "It's... water chestnuts."

Doudou understood: "Water chestnut is faith?"

Xia Ge: "..."

Looking at Doudou's bright eyes, a strong sense of guilt of teaching bad children filled her heart, Xia Ge coughed, "No...no, faith...is that you believe in something great, or something Powerful people regard each other as their own rule of doing things..."

Xia Ge, who doesn't know what gods in this world, threw his hand and raised the simplest chestnut, "For example, I sometimes believe in the God of Wealth! Believing in him will make you rich!"

Doudou still doesn't quite understand.

Xia Ge was cruel and hit the nail on the head, "Anyway, it's what you believe the most! As long as you believe in it in your heart, it can give you strength!"

Doudou looked at her while holding a bite of water chestnuts, his eyes were bright, "That pair is my belief!"

She said affirmatively, "Shuangshuang can find food. Shuangshuang is very powerful, even better than the village chief. I believe in Shuangshuang the most! Shuangshuang can give me strength!"

Xia Ge: "..." No... faith is not like this.

And she didn't want to be better than the bald village chief.

Xia Ge: "In fact, I would recommend God of Fortune if I believe in..."

Although she didn't get rich after believing for so long, she became poorer instead.

Xia Ge looked at the water chestnuts in his hand. Maybe God of Wealth disliked her and abandoned him just a second, and turned his head to believe in water chestnuts.

So believers must be firm, otherwise it won't work at all.

Doudou hugged the water chestnuts, his eyes were firm, "No, if you don't believe in God of Wealth, I believe in Shuangshuang!"

Xia Ge: "..."

If you believe in God of Wealth so steadfastly, you will definitely get rich...

No... After turning around for a long time, Doudou actually doesn't understand what faith is.

"Hey, look over there, there are actually fireflies!" Xia Ge's eyes lit up, and he changed the subject wittyly, "You're here to wait for me, I'll catch some of them."

Did she just say that she believes in such a tall thing? no? There must not be! snort!

Xia Ge leaped open his sleeves and wrapped two or three fireflies, then tied them up with branch stems, tied them into a small sac and handed them to Doudou, "I wanted to catch it a long time ago, hehehe."

Doudou took the bag wrapped in fireflies, "It's so bright."

Xia Ge, who deceived the children but was not guilty at all, smiled, "Yes, it's so bright."

"I like them." Doudou, who is no longer entangled in faith, said, "They are so beautiful."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I have a lot of things that I can’t remember, but I didn’t know what liking was before. I seemed to have done a lot of silly things. The person I like is driven away."

The voice was a bit wronged.

Xia Ge thinks that a kid who doesn't know anything about faith knows what love, love, and dislike, but he expresses sympathy: "...then you are really miserable."

Doudou pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, so I thought, if you give me another chance, I will like her well, and give her all the freedom, I must obediently do nothing wrong."

Xia Ge nodded and thought for a while, "Then...I wish you such a chance?"

Doudou looked at the fireflies trapped in the small pouch, the bright light shining in his eyes, as if there were stars, "Well, there will be."

When she was full, Xia Ge was a little sleepy. She yawned, and hugged the remaining water chestnuts and shrank under the crooked neck tree, "I'm sleepy, Doudou."

"Well, those two have to go to bed earlier."

"…Um."

Vaguely, Xia Ge heard Doudou's voice murmur in the night breeze, "Freedom...no wonder...she would like it."

Her? Does Doudou like the girl?

I'm a little bit curious...but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, so let's go to sleep.

In the warm night breeze, Xia Ge slept sweetly, but a girl named Doudou quietly opened the bag, and a few fireflies flew away from the bag lightly, regaining freedom.

Doudou covered the bag with her body temperature over her chest, and a gentle color flashed in her innocent eyes.

—This time, she won't do it wrong again.

If you like it, you should set her free.

In this way, it is faith.
