Chapter 1014 Butterfly
The low murmur coming from the front made the woman, who had just come back to her senses from the words "If you're going to act crazy while drunk, you'd better go home," stunned again.

Immediately, the woman's face turned blue and red, and she felt irritated and annoyed. One hand unconsciously clutched the shoulder strap of the bag.

The smell of alcohol on the woman could not be concealed.

The people around looked surprised.

Listening to the whispers entering her ears, the woman could no longer stay.

She raised her head and glared at the guys around who were watching the fun, then walked away angrily.

A different direction from Xiao Xiao.

The heels of the shoes hit the ground, making a loud thumping sound.

"Have a drink~"

After leaving the noisy area, the Pipa Ghost reached out and tugged at the corner of Xiao Xiao's clothes.

Xiao Xiao turned his head and happened to meet the eyes of a passerby behind him.

Xiao Xiao: ...

Passerby:......

Xiao Xiao naturally avoided the other person's gaze, then turned his head back, slowed down his pace, and looked thoughtful.

The passers-by glanced at him and walked past him quickly.

After the figure of the passerby had gone far away, he whispered, "What's wrong, Pipa Ghost?"

He lowered his eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of the Pipa Ghost out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the hem of the Pipa Ghost's untucked white shirt was fluttering slightly in the wind.

Xiao Xiao felt a little strange that he didn't get an immediate response from the Pipa Ghost.

Just as he was about to turn his head to look, he heard the sound of the Pipa Ghost ringing in his ears.

“Drink, drink, drink~”

The Pipa Ghost's hoarse and dry voice was full of concern.

It asked cautiously -
Xiao Xiao, are you okay?
……

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Then he realized that his attitude just now might have scared the monster a little.

He put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little amused and a little touched.

"I'm fine, Pipa Ghost."

His voice was gentle, "It's just normal mood swings."

It was the first time he encountered such a situation, so his reaction might have been a little too big.

"It's okay now."

……

"Drink~"

The Pipa Ghost nodded blankly, as if it didn't quite understand what Xiao Xiao said.

However, it still understands the word "it's okay".

The corners of its mouth widened slightly.

Then it hugged the pipa in its arms a little tighter, tilted its head and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Hello~Hello~Hello~"

Do you... want to listen to me play the pipa?

……

"of course."

Xiao Xiao blinked his eyes. "Such a beautiful pipa, as long as you are willing to play it, I am willing to listen."

It's like living in the world.

There is a stone corridor there.

Green vines are entwined around it.

"Let's go over there."

Xiao Xiao raised his chin slightly and gestured in the direction to the Pipa Ghost.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost followed Xiao Xiao without any objection.

……

Xiao Xiao leaned against the stone pillar and closed his eyes slightly.

Threads of sunlight filtered down through the vines above.

The pipa music in my ears is like a clear spring in the mountains, gurgling, clear and clean. In a trance, I feel like I can smell the fragrance of the grass and trees in the dense forests in the mountains.

There are birds chirping and singing melodiously.

……

When Xiao Xiao opened his eyes again, the performance had stopped, but the music was still ringing in his ears.

He tilted his head to look at the Pipa Ghost beside him with a happy expression.

The next second, his expression froze.

The Pipa Ghost raised one hand, and a swallowtail butterfly with a black background and blue stripes was resting on the pale fingertips.

The butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, and its beautiful scales sparkled.

……

The Pipa Ghost looked at the butterfly in his hand, pursed his lips and smiled gently.

……

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything.

After all, the scene in front of me looks like a CG picture in a game.

Too good to be true.

……

However, the Pipa Ghost noticed Xiao Xiao's gaze. It withdrew its gaze from the butterfly and turned its head to look at Xiao Xiao.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost stretched out his hand with butterflies resting on his fingertips to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao:?
Then I understood a little. Was I supposed to show him the butterfly?

He smiled, "Yeah, very beautiful butterfly."

"The Pipa Ghost's performance is really beautiful."

"Even butterflies are attracted to you."

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost lowered his eyes, seeming to be very embarrassed, but the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a somewhat shy smile.

……

Soon, the Pipa Ghost looked up again, with a hint of urging in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao became more and more confused.

Aren't you showing him the butterflies?

Seeing this, the Pipa Ghost raised its other hand and reached out to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was stunned for a moment before he became a little thoughtful.

He also stretched out his hand and raised it slightly, imitating the Pipa Ghost.

Then he saw -
The Pipa Ghost moved its fingertips closer to its own fingers.

A cool feeling spread from the fingertips.

The Pipa Ghost moved its fingers slightly, and the swallowtail butterfly that was originally resting on its fingertips rested on Xiao Xiao's fingers.

Xiao Xiao's pupils dilated for a moment.

The butterfly's silhouette was clearly reflected in his eyes, every detail was visible.

He also clearly felt a slight numbing sensation spreading from his fingertips where the butterfly was.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei straightened up and leaned forward a little, his wide silver-blue eyes shining with curiosity.

It subconsciously stretched out its claws to touch the wings that were slightly similar in color to its eyes.

Then, its movements froze.

The quiet swallowtail butterfly suddenly flapped its wings and flew away, just a second before Feifei's claws were about to touch it.

Leaving Xiao Xiao's fingers.

……

The swallowtail butterfly did not leave immediately, but flew in the sky between Xiao Xiao and the Pipa Ghost, dancing gracefully.

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, letting the light and shadow on his face change.

The Pipa Ghost's movements were almost the same as Xiao Xiao's, except that his head was slightly tilted and leaning on the pipa.

……

After the dance, the swallowtail butterfly flew around the Pipa Ghost and Xiao Xiao for several circles, then flew high into the sky again.

But then it didn't look back.

The swallowtail butterfly left.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei's already soft voice became even softer because of grievance and flattery.

The little monster rubbed Xiao Xiao's cheek and looked at Xiao Xiao carefully.

There seemed to be rippling water in the silver-blue eyes.

Xiao Xiao: ...

He reached out and touched Feifei's head with amusement.

"It's okay. It's not Feifei's fault that the butterfly flew away."

"And we got to enjoy some beautiful dancing, right?"

……

"Feifei also thinks that butterfly is beautiful, right?"

That's why I couldn't help but want to touch it.

"Coffee~"

Feifei nodded.

Then he shook his head even more vigorously, "Heifei~Heifeifei~Heifei~"

Xiao Xiao was somewhat puzzled by Feifei's contradictory answer and suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes, yes, Feifei is prettier."

"Coffee~"

Feifei raised her little chin with a bit of pride, her face full of reserve and complacency.

"scoff~"

Taotie made a nasal sound with a hint of mockery, "Woo woo~ woo~"

She's not a banshee, but pretty?
"what."

Xiao Xiao subconsciously called out softly.
