Chapter 105: An Important Necklace
Xiaolan is kind and sensible, she seems to be very good to everyone and very gentle, but in fact, there has always been a sense of distance between Xiaolan's heart and others, as if there is a guardrail to protect Xiaolan's heart.
This may have something to do with Xiaolan's experience when she was young, Xiaolan was born alone in the forest when she was young, and there was no one to protect her, and her heart was telling her that she was waiting for someone, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for that person.
Subsequently, Xiaolan evolved into a puppy beast, and after having the power of self-preservation, she wandered around looking for the person she was waiting for, but she never found it, and on the way she encountered a lot of things, a lot of Digimon, some good and some bad, deceived and betrayed, and of course also helped and saved.
Because, in this kind of experience, although Xiaolan's external gentleness has not changed, she has quietly pulled up a line of defense in her heart at some point, carefully protecting herself from being hurt.
Until, Xiaolan met Caesar, although Xiaolan thought that Caesar was the person she was waiting for, but the line of defense in her heart that appeared at some point was not easy to remove, even Xiaolan herself couldn't take off that line of defense.
However, after going through so many things, the companionship and protection along the way, unconsciously, Caesar has passed through that line of defense, leaving a deep and indelible trace in Xiaolan's heart.
In front of Caesar, Xiaolan can unscrupulously show her true self, without pretending, she can cry, laugh, be willful, or be coquettish.
"Teach me quickly." Xiaolan couldn't wait to say to Caesar.
"Okay, okay, this teaches you 'life return'." Caesar looked at Xiaolan's excited appearance, showed a helpless smile, and spoke.
Although he knew that Xiaolan's aggrieved and pitiful little appearance before was pretended, Caesar was a very trustworthy person, and he agreed to Xiaolan with a relenting mouth, so he would not regret it, and he would definitely teach Xiaolan the effect of returning his life.
"I'm going to the fire, you can come with me, just to review." Caesar said as he greeted Artoria and walked towards the fire.
Artoria followed Caesar and walked towards the fire, and Xiaolan was just about to follow, when she turned around, she suddenly noticed something, stopped moving, and looked carefully, and saw something shining on a stone by the river.
Xiaolan walked over, the shining thing on the stone was a necklace, and the pendant was a gemstone in the shape of a water droplet, exuding a faint fluorescence, very beautiful.
"Wait a minute, Caesar, your necklace." Lan grabbed the necklace and shouted to Caesar.
"Huh? Yes! Thank you, I almost forgot" Caesar was puzzled when he heard the voice, subconsciously touched his neck, but did not touch the necklace, let out an exclamation, and hurriedly ran to Xiaolan's side, thanked him, and carefully linked the item over.
When Caesar was taking a bath, because his body was covered in mud, Caesar was afraid that when he rubbed it, he would lose the necklace, so he put the necklace on the stone and wanted to take it back after washing, but he forgot about it.
Fortunately, Xiaolan reminded him, otherwise, I don't know when, Caesar would remember and notice that the important necklace was missing.
"Caesar, where did you get this necklace, it's so beautiful." Xiaolan watched Caesar take the necklace and asked.
Looking at the necklace, Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, she liked this beautiful necklace very much.
However, Xiaolan didn't ask Caesar for it, because Xiaolan knew that Caesar cherished this necklace very much, and she had seen many times how Caesar took care of this necklace, and if she asked for it, with Caesar's character, she would definitely be very embarrassed.
"This necklace, in fact, I found someone in the town to make it, at the beginning, I only had this pendant, I spent money in the town and found someone to make this necklace." Caesar carefully put the necklace around his neck and spoke.
"And where did you get this pendant, such a beautiful gem?" Xiaolan continued to ask.
This necklace, the chain body is bland, there is nothing special, the only commendable place, should be relatively tough, the quality is very good, only the pendant, the water droplet-like, exudes a faint fluorescent gemstone, is the focus of the whole necklace, but also the most attractive place.
"I don't know where it came from, but I know it should be important to me," Caesar whispered as he raised his hand to place the pendant on the center of his claws, looking at the droplet-like gem.
After that battle, Caesar awoke from his coma and found the little mourner saying goodbye, as well as the droplet-shaped gem from which it had fallen at the time.
Caesar's instincts told him that this gem was important, very important to him.
And, for some reason, every time Caesar looked at this gem, a feeling of sadness and sadness welled up in his heart, and his mind would subconsciously recall the time they passed together.
Therefore, Caesar cherished this gem very much, and after finding someone in the town to make a necklace, he wore it close to his body.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, after Ran and Artoria had fallen asleep, Caesar would pick up the necklace and look at it quietly, looking at the tear-like jewel that looked like a droplet.
"......" and Xiaolan saw Caesar, looking at the necklace's expression, Xiaolan didn't say anything, but her eyes became much darker.
Caesar didn't know, sometimes, when he thought that Xiaolan was asleep, in fact, Xiaolan didn't fall asleep, but Xiaolan wouldn't point it out, but would just look at Caesar secretly, every time she looked at Caesar, the expression she showed at that time, Xiaolan would feel very painful in her heart.
At the same time, in Xiaolan's heart, she will also sigh deeply and suppress a certain thought in her heart.
"Ahem, okay, let's not talk about this, let's go learn 'life return'." Caesar came to his senses, put the pendant in his bright golden hair, and spoke.
"Yes." Xiaolan nodded, obediently followed behind Caesar, and walked towards the fire.
Caesar, Ran and Artoria gathered around the fire, and Caesar told Ran about the training methods and precautions of 'Life Return', and at the same time, he also exchanged some experiences with Artoria.
The light of the flame reflected on the three of them, stretching the shadows of the three of them, and everything was so peaceful and beautiful, but it was only a moment of calm before the storm, and the dark darkness was gradually coming to the three of them.
