How come I was the one being targeted?

Youyi Court

This garden is located on a flying island at the edge of Changletian. On weekdays, it always gathers tourists from all over the world and locals who are relaxing. Although the flowers and trees here are not very bright, it still attracts countless people to visit.

The two came to the gate of Youli Courtyard. Unlike the quiet place in the past, there were many tourists who looked like foreigners, students in school uniforms, a happy family of three and staff responsible for maintaining order. There were far more people visiting here than they had imagined.

I think most of them are outsiders who are attracted by the World Tour Concert and come here to travel and live. Tourists in groups of three or two will stop from time to time, stand on an antique pavilion and look out into the distance, curiously gazing at the ancient Jianmu relics in the distance. Occasionally, you can hear one or two exclamations.

“Wow, so spectacular…”

Looking at the ruins of Jianmu that blocked out the sun, even though Jianmu had been withered for thousands of years, the afterglow it emitted still showed golden warmth in the sunset. The robin could not calm down for a long time, and finally could only utter a spectacular evaluation.

"After all, this is a miracle that can shape life at will and conquer death. It was by consuming the divine essence generated by Jianmu that the ancestors of the Luofu people gained a body of endless lifespan and transformed into an immortal species."

Bai Jun's reaction when he first saw Jianmu was quite similar to hers, so he felt a bit nostalgic and jokingly asked, "Robin, what do you think of the so-called immortality?"

"Immortality? I don't care about that sort of thing. A lifespan that's too long will lead to laziness. Life, because it's short and incompetent, should be burned with energy to strive for progress."

However, the robin's answer far exceeded Bai Jun's expectations. In front of the creature that truly symbolizes life and immortality, almost no one can say anything against their will on the issue of life, and this situation becomes more obvious in people with higher status.

He had thought the robin would hesitate and finally answer in confusion that she didn't know, but now it seemed that her point of view was quite remarkable.

"It's rare to find someone who can say in front of Medicine Master Chuanji that they don't desire immortality. I'm really impressed by you."

Bai Jun's admiration at this moment came from the heart. He really hadn't met such a pure person in a long, long time, so he rarely spoke out his true feelings:

"I know that countless people in the universe, those who yearn for life and those who believe in the Medicine Master, secretly curse the Immortal Boat Alliance. They hate the fact that the Immortal Boat people have gained nearly infinite lifespans while retaining their minds and bodies. They also despise the Immortal Boat Alliance for turning against abundance after receiving such a great miraculous blessing...

"But just as you said, robin, if you forget your awareness of death, life becomes meaningless. This is the harm that the pharmacist has brought to life. Moreover, everything has its price. While gaining endless life, Xianzhou has already paid a double price."

Bai Jun's gaze shifted from Jianmu in the distance to the robin beside him, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face: "Honestly, I'm glad that you have such a reverent attitude towards life."

Robin looked at his gentle smile, and the gentle touch of their touch seemed to still remain on her wrist. A strange feeling inexplicably surged in her heart.

"No, no, I was just saying it casually. Why are you suddenly so serious, Bai Jun..."

She could feel her cheeks getting very hot, and she was completely unable to shift her gaze back to the warmth around her.

Her mind went blank in an instant, and she subconsciously wanted to move to the side, not wanting Bai Jun to see her like this.

"Huh--?"

She didn't notice that the robins around her seemed to have bumped into something, and the next second, she lost her balance and fell backwards.

Just as she was about to fall heavily to the cold ground, a pair of warm and strong hands grabbed her waist in time.

"What are you doing? You're such a grown-up, but you're still acting like a child. You should at least pay attention to your own safety."

Although her words were so unromantic and her expression was helpless, as if she was looking at a child, Robin's heart was still beating wildly. She felt extremely hot deep in her chest. She couldn't make a sound at all and even forgot how to breathe.

Such a clichéd plot, but...why do I have this indescribable feeling?

"Mom, mom, what are the brothers and sisters over there doing?"

"Shh! Come here and don't disturb them."

Some people were secretly observing the two of them, and some were whispering something. After noticing the many gazes and whispers coming from the side, Bai Jun immediately let go of his hand on Robin's waist and ended the delicate situation as if nothing had happened.

It was not until then that the robin came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. In order to hide her emerging shyness, she quickly took half a step back and looked up at Bai Jun with her big watery eyes under her sunglasses.

But the feeling just now was completely overwhelmed by her, and she could no longer pretend to be calm.

In order not to think about what just happened, the robin even gave up the idea of ​​joking and tried hard to put the hesitation in his heart behind him.

“Thank you…”

In the reflection of the setting sun, the robin felt her hot cheeks and waited for a while before she finally smiled softly.

"Don't worry, just be careful." Bai Jun waved his hand and smiled back.

For the next period of time, there was a brief silence between the two. They stared at the distant scenery silently. Time passed slowly, and during this time they only felt each other's presence.

"Aww——!"

The silence around them was suddenly broken by a scream. Turning around, they saw one of the children playing nearby accidentally fall and land heavily on the muddy ground.

The fall was very bad. Not only were the skin on his knees scraped away, but his nose was also bleeding uncontrollably. Tears gradually filled the child's big eyes, and just as they were about to burst out -

Robin walked forward faster than Bai Jun and the child's parents and helped the girl who fell down.

"Are you okay? Does the wound hurt?"

The robin didn't care about the dirt on the ground at all. He knelt on the ground, gently hugged the girl, and gently wiped the blood from her nose with a handkerchief.

"But don't worry, big sister, I know a spell to make the wound stop hurting, okay?"

Although the girl tried her best to hold back her tears, she still cried in her arms.

“Adjust your pace, sway to the music, raise your arms high, and embrace the person you long to be. We are climbing, touching the heights that have not yet been reached…”

The robin raised his white hand and gently stroked the girl's back, patting her softly and humming a fragment of a song.

This beautiful voice was quietly transmitted in a corner of the leisurely courtyard, and a gentle smile was on the robin's face. No, it might be more appropriate to describe that smile as kind.

Whether it was because they were attracted by her smile or surprised by the familiar melody and voice of the song, everyone present was captivated by this scene and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

"Tell me, sister, does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you beautiful sister."

When the girl came to her senses, her tears had stopped. When she saw the robin's gentle smile, she also smiled.

The robin now had none of the airs of a big star. She was gentle and approachable, like an older sister next door. Seeing this, Bai Jun unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled like everyone else present.

"Is that the robin?"

Someone nearby seemed to recognize Robin under the beret and sunglasses, and pointed at her and spoke in a trembling voice.

After hearing this voice, everyone present reacted belatedly. After all, that beautiful melody and voice were so distinctive that apart from the robin that had become very famous these days, it seemed that few people could do it.

Thus, the scene that was peaceful and comforting just now gradually began to become restless...

"Let's go! If you keep standing there, you won't have a chance to leave!"

Before the crowd erupted in shouts and screams, Bai Jun ran to Robin first, took her wrist, and quickly led her away towards the gap in the crowd.

As if this was not fast enough, Bai Jun simply held her in his arms like a princess, and the robin's shy cry was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately causing waves in the crowd that was about to explode.

"Wooah! It's Miss Robin. She actually came to play in Yuyiting!"

"She's a huge star! I'm so lucky to be so close to her!"

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't go, sign an autograph for me, Miss Robin!"

"Wait, why is there a man next to Miss Robin!!!"

"........."

The moon in the sky was covered by sparse clouds, casting a faint glow.

The night sky is so deep that you seem to be sucked into it as soon as you look up. The scattered tiny clouds playfully cover the light of the stars.

"Huh, I finally escaped..."

The constant revelry and screams from the back gradually disappeared as they moved away from Youli Court. Bai Jun let out a long sigh and put down the robin in his arms. He didn't expect that the chase that he had not been able to experience before would be realized here.

Now Bai Jun suddenly felt some empathy with Helen. After all, Robin was the kind of star who could cause huge unrest if not paid attention to. The security pressure on him must be very high.

"Although I know you're not responsible, I'd still like to ask you to have a clear understanding of your own identity beforehand... Are you listening?"

"Ah? I, I, was listening..."

The robin standing beside him had a red face. He covered his face and didn't dare to look at Bai Jun's profile. He made a slight trembling sound like a frightened little feathered animal.

Realizing that Bai Jun's eyes were always on her face, Robin turned her slightly red cheeks back to hers and pushed Bai Jun's arm like a broken jar.

Feeling a wave of exhaustion, Bai Jun wanted to try to persuade Robin with kind words, but when he thought about the purpose of tonight's itinerary, it seemed that it was to make her have fun, he gave up the idea and shrugged with a wry smile:

"Come to think of it, robins are surprisingly good at coaxing children."

"I was a teacher on a poor planet before, so I have some experience in how to get along with children."

As for the answer to this question, Robin raised her chin slightly and showed a proud expression. In her eyes, being able to truly help a group of lovely children is far more remarkable than her so-called star title.

However, being stared at by Bai Jun with such gentle eyes, Robin's cheeks, which had finally recovered from their blushing, turned red again. She turned her face slightly away and urged him softly, "Okay, stop staring at me all the time. Haven't you taken me for a walk on the streets of Changletian yet?"

"Eh? Do we have to go to Changletian's shopping street? Can we go somewhere else..."

In fact, Bai Jun didn’t really want to go to Changletian’s commercial street. One reason was to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, and the other was because of the Qingque he had met there before... He always felt that something very troublesome would happen.

"no!"

However, the more she saw Bai Jun's conflicted look, the more curious Robin became. She put on a tough attitude she had never seen before, dragged Bai Jun to the entrance of Changletian's commercial street, and moved forward a little distance.

"Please wait a moment!"

The woman who was setting up a stall in a corner of the square in front suddenly called out to the two of them.

"You two look so well-matched! I bet you must be a very loving couple. Would you like to buy some gifts? I have matching jewelry here that's perfect for couples like you."

There were various accessories on the cloak spread on the ground. She could tell at a glance that she was an open-air vendor. Since he often worked in the urban management administrative law enforcement department at the Land Scale Bureau, Bai Jun had a lot of contact with this kind of people, so he subconsciously wanted to warn women not to set up stalls on the ground because of his occupational disease.

However, as soon as the keyword "accessories" was heard, the robin next to him immediately took the bait.

"Let's go take a look!"

Before Bai Jun could explain, Robin grabbed his arm and pulled him over.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, these are all great goods from Zhu Ming. You two should know Zhu Ming, right? It's the most famous holy land of craftsmanship in the entire universe. Every creation that comes out of there is top-notch! There must be all kinds of jewelry suitable for you to wear!"

"Oh~"

When the woman saw the robin dragging Bai Jun over, she immediately put on a businessman's smile, rubbed her hands with a smile, and introduced the various jewelry on the ground to the robin, but she didn't know that these words seemed particularly clumsy in Bai Jun's eyes.

"For example, this ring that turns invisible when it comes into contact with water; a necklace that changes color when it's stained with blood; earrings that glow when the wind blows, and more..."

I have no idea what these things are used for, and their style looks very retro, so they have no appeal at all. In Bai Jun's eyes, these things are okay for children to play with, but if they are sold at such a high price... I'm afraid only a fool would buy them, right?

Not to mention that this is a robin. Given her status and vision, these things are probably only slightly better than the non-recyclables in the trash can. She probably wouldn't even want them for free.

"But the one I really recommend is this one, 'Made in Heaven'. Put two pieces of jewelry together like this, and they become one!"

As if sensing the lack of interest beneath the robin's smile, the woman immediately changed her strategy, pretending to be heartbroken, and slowly took out a pair of silver ornaments in an aurora gradient color from the small box behind her.

"This is my most prized item. I don't usually show it to others, okay? Look, this pair of jewelry is usually divided into a crescent and a full moon shape. When separated, one half can be given to a boy as a pendant, and the other half can be used as a hair ornament for you."

"Oh?"

The robin's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested, and took the pair of ornaments from the woman's hand.

The jewelry uses natural shells to express the luster of the sun and the moon, and the natural texture presents a beautiful gradient of aurora colors. Moreover, through picky material selection and ingenious design, a pair of pendants together form a complete circle, and even the textures are matched, just like its name, a perfect match.

"This is a good thing that can bring good luck and ward off evil. Miss, if you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount!"

Although Bai Jun knew very well that no matter how hard the maker prayed, it would be impossible for the ornaments to have the effect of bringing good luck and warding off evil, the robin, who squatted down and looked at the pair of ornaments curiously, did not notice this at all.

Rather, it felt like her eyes lit up...

"Look at this handsome man and beautiful lady. They're such a perfect match! Originally this was 300 dysprosium, but now I'll sell it to you for only 100!"

He even cut the price in half without waiting for Bai Jun to bargain, but it was still too expensive in Bai Jun's eyes.

A full 100 dysprosium, if converted into steamed buns, would be enough for Bai Jun to eat for two years...

"Stare—"

The robin beside him stared at him intently, and the expectant and deliberate look in his eyes made Bai Jun's face freeze.

To be honest, he didn't really want to buy this thing. The reason wasn't because he didn't have money or found it troublesome... Firstly, this accessory was not worth the price at all, and secondly, he simply felt that if he bought it as a couple, he would always feel an indescribable emotion.

.......However, Teacher Jackdaw once warned him that in this situation, he should not consider the so-called cost-effectiveness. As long as he can bring happiness to the girl, then everything is worth it.

Although it is said that as long as one has a heart, one does not need to be bound by external material things, it is indeed tangible things that can bring happiness to people.

Barely suppressing the urge to sigh, Bai Jun gave up resistance and, despite the pain in his heart, pulled out his wallet from his pocket: "Then buy it."

“Thank you for your patronage~”

Bai Jun took the ornament from the smiling boss and handed it to Robin.

"Thank you, I will cherish it!"

The robin gently touched the hair accessory and smiled brightly.

The pale light reflected by her hair accessories under the streetlights was dazzling, and her extremely happy and shy smile was no less dazzling.
