Ji Ling stared blankly at Jing Sui, her brain was completely in a state of panic, and it took a while to realize that Jing Sui actually said sorry to him!

He must be dreaming, or something like a nightmare...

Jing Sui actually said sorry to him, no...why did you say sorry to me! You did a good job, there is no need to say sorry to me, please continue to be ruthless!

I don't need to be sorry at all, okay? Ji Ling roared in despair in his heart.

Jing Sui looked at Ji Ling's sad and shocked eyes, the cold chill flowing through his blood, almost freezing his internal organs.

Once again, seeing with my own eyes the damage I have done to the young man is countless times more real than in my memory, and the cracks in my heart that are densely packed like cobwebs are once again on the verge of cracking.

After a long time, Jing Sui made a low voice and looked into Ji Ling's eyes tenderly: "You don't need to prove anything to me in this way, in the future... don't do such a dangerous thing again, eh?"

Ji Ling looked at the man who had always been cold and indifferent before him in a trance. He stared at him with such focused and gentle eyes, and finally came out of sadness.

So you who killed a thousand knives, you are indeed reborn! Why can't you hold on, as the male lead, and the villains? !

Ji Ling is like a child who has suffered a lot of grievances. Although he encountered many difficulties before, he kept telling himself to be strong, to persevere, and not to lose hope in life, but fate still gave him a ruthless blow. ... At this moment, I was comforted by Jing Sui, and finally couldn't hold back the tears, and cried out with a wow.

How can you do this!

You are too much!

Jing Sui watched Ji Ling burst into tears, his shaking eyes full of helplessness and despair, his accusing gaze, like a sharp knife, pierced straight into his heart.

It turns out that the current self has already hurt him so deeply. How cold and ruthless should he be to cause a mere gentle word to make the young man's emotions on the verge of collapse?

Did the former self be so harsh on him...

Why didn't you come back sooner?

This thought came to his mind again. God gave him a chance to be reborn, maybe just to let him witness once, how cruel what he did...

Let him hate himself so much, but there is nothing he can do.

Sorry.

From now on... I'll never make you sad again, okay?

Jing Sui's golden pupils were dimly lit. He stretched out his hand and took the crying boy into his arms, brushed the boy's soft hair with his palm, and whispered in his ear, "Don't cry."

Ji Ling was held in Jing Sui's arms and comforted by his soft voice. He was so heartbroken that he almost gave up on himself and broke the jar.

He felt the cold breath brought by the man's approach, and wrapped him in a strong and gentle way, giving him a feeling that he had nowhere to escape... The bottom line insisted on keeping him rational.

He can't accept Jing Sui ah ah ah!

He is a straight man, and his current personality is crazy about Jing Sui. It stands to reason that no matter how deep the injury is, as long as Jing Sui gives him a little sweetness, he can immediately turn back and give him a hug, as long as Jing Sui smiles at him To be grateful to Dade's kind... but he really can't do it ah ah ah!

He is just a sailor who takes money to do things. Usually, it doesn't matter if he likes it, but if one day an idol suddenly turns back and tells you, let's be together, I accept your feelings. When they're together...maybe kiss-kiss, pop-pop...

Ji Ling's eyes were almost blacked out.

Thinking of being trapped in such a terrifying world and facing the risk of being XXOO by a man, in such a desperate situation, Ji Ling's strong desire to survive finally broke out his own small universe, and now he must reject Jing Sui!

The rabbit is in a hurry and will bite!

Ji Ling pushed Jing Sui away suddenly, looked at him with red eyes, and said angrily, "Don't lie to me, you were comforting Ning Yu just now, you clearly liked him, and you came here today for him... You are just afraid that he will get revenge for hurting me, and that I will not be willing to continue to trouble him, I don't need your hypocrisy!"

Jing Sui was startled, his arms were empty, and the pain in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.

When he was reborn, the duel had already begun. The reason why he didn't take action at the beginning was because he hoped that Ji Ling could save some of his reputation with his own hands. And his last appearance was not for Ning Yu at all. If he directly injured Ning Yu and took Ji Ling away, the angry people would vent all their anger on Ji Ling, making him the target of public criticism.

That's why I deliberately pretended not to care about him, stayed at the scene to appease Ning Yu, and minimized the adverse effects caused by this incident, so that even if the people had some dissatisfaction, most of them would only point the finger at him, but ignore Ji Ling.

But Ji Ling didn't understand, all he saw was the scene where he left him and talked to Ning Yu.

This child has always been simple and heartbreaking and helpless.

After a long time, a very light sigh escaped from Jing Sui's throat, and explained slowly and gently, "No, I did that just now to protect you."

Ji Ling immediately asked back with a thorn, "Do you mean to protect me?"

Such a simple truth, if it was with others, Jing Sui would not bother to explain it, but when he looked at the sad boy, how could he bear his misunderstanding and sadness? He said: "This is a fair duel. It's against the rules for me to intervene. If I defend you too much, it will only make you the target of public criticism, do you understand?"

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, so you thought so? This principle is very simple and easy to understand. He just didn't think in this direction just now. Now, after hearing what Jing Sui said, he is even more desperate and angry 🙂

It turns out that you were not defending Ning Yu but me just now!

It’s okay to be reborn, forget the guilt, and I can barely understand it... But your feelings for the protagonist are so sad and indignant to me, how can you not take him to heart? To ignore the righteous and kind protagonist for the vicious cannon fodder like me!

Simply shocking!

No, I, Ji Ling, will never admit defeat!

He took a deep breath, looked at Jing Sui, and said coldly, "Really?"

Seeing that Ji Ling was finally calm, Jing Sui thought he understood what he meant and accepted his apology, but at this moment he saw tears in Ji Ling's eyes again, and looked at him with a very unfamiliar look. look at him as if he were a very scary being...

Ji Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were tears in his eyes, but there was a miserable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said word by word, "Apart from your status as a nobleman, what else can you compare to him?"

Jing Sui's expression finally changed.

Ji Ling clearly and slowly repeated that sentence, word for word. His eyes were filled with despair, sadness, and pain. He fixedly looked into Jing Sui's eyes, "This is what His Majesty said to me that day. I remember every word clearly."

Jing Sui's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

"At that time, Your Majesty probably didn't expect that I would go to Ning Yu for a duel... But what I didn't expect was that you would love him so much." Ji Ling looked at him in dismay, opened his mouth sarcastically, and tried his best to There seemed to be an inaudible trembling in his calm voice, and he said, "As you are, in order to protect a person, you are willing to treat me, a rubbish dude that you despise, who is false and condescending."

"I was naively hoping that you didn't deny my words that day, but you just came up with an excuse to reject me. I didn't believe that you really liked him... But now I finally believe it." Ji Ling smiled, tears streaming down silently, "So you like him so much that you can intervene in a duel for him, clear obstacles for him, and solve all his troubles for him. For him... come and lie to me."

Every time Ji Ling said a word, Jing Sui's complexion became paler.

What he wanted to refute, he could not disdain to do such despicable behavior, he is fully capable of protecting his lover, just like I want to protect you now.

But even if he says it's not like that now... who would believe it?

If it weren't for the experience of that life, if it weren't for the pain and regret of the hundreds of years, even he himself would not believe it.

I can't believe I can do this, caring about a person.

Jing Sui closed his eyes to hide the tiredness and weakness in his eyes, and said, "It's not like that."

Ji Ling suddenly shouted angrily: "Enough!"

He glanced at Jing Sui angrily, raised his hand and wiped his eyes, it seemed that he couldn't hold on any longer, turned around and ran away from Jing Sui!

Jing Sui stood there, watching the boy pass him by, the hateful look in his eyes, like the chill of a thousand feet frozen, made him unable to move.

Sometimes once the damage is done, even if it takes hundreds of times thousands of times, it is difficult to recover and make up for it.

In the abyss, how can you expect to leave easily?

What about redemption?

But even so, in this life, please allow me to protect you, even if you spend your whole life begging for forgiveness, it doesn't matter.

………………

Ji Ling just performed exceptionally well, finally got rid of Jing Sui, returned to his home, and began to call the system impatiently.

Ji Ling: [What's wrong with this task, I won't do it! 】

System: [...You calm down. 】

Ji Ling: [I can't calm down now! ! ! 】

system:【……】

Ji Ling: [He must have been reborn, otherwise it would be impossible to say such things to me, the male protagonist has been reborn, how can we do this task! 】

The system also saw the scene just now, and it was unreasonable and arrogant, so it had to hint politely: [But if you don't do the task, what about your reward...]

Ji Ling was so angry that he would stay in this strange world full of terrifying bigwigs, and live a day when he was afraid of losing his life every day, so he might as well just die! He took a deep breath and said: [It's really impossible to read the file and start over. 】

The system is a bit embarrassing: [We have not yet determined the reason for the rebirth of the character in this world, so even if the file is reloaded, there is no guarantee that it will be fully restored to the initial state...]

Ji Ling's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and he almost fainted: [So you mean, even if you start over, you can't guarantee that they are all normal? 】

The system dare not speak.

Ji Ling laughed angrily: [Even if the failure of the first mission was my reason, but now that they are all reborn, this is not my reason, right? This is completely different from what we agreed on before. This is a serious violation of integrity. I ask you to give me an explanation! 】

System: [Don't worry, I will report this situation to the superior and give you an explanation as soon as possible. 】

Ji Ling looked indifferent: [Your words sound very familiar to me. 】

system:【? 】

Ji Ling: [One of my mother's colleagues bought a house last year, but when they actually bought the house, they found that it didn't match the model house, and the developer's original promise was not fulfilled, so they went to the developer's theory and asked them to give them an explanation , the sales manager of the other party always replied to her like this. 】

system:【……】

Ji Ling: [The key is that this matter has been bullshitting for a whole year, the banners have been pulled, the doors have been blocked, and the other party has been so prevaricious until I died :)]

system:【……】

Ji Ling sincerely sighed: [So you must not be like this, right? 】

System: [...] I dare not speak, I dare not speak.

………………

Ji Ling fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next afternoon.

Although he found a reason to run away from Jing Sui yesterday, and then slammed the system again, his mood was still very low, and for a moment he really had the thought of breaking the pot, but he knew that he couldn't do this.

Regardless of whether the system can give him a satisfactory answer, in order to complete the task, he has to rely on himself in the end, and he cannot completely pin his hopes on others. He must cheer up, hard work may not have results, but no effort will certainly not have results.

If he wants to go home, he can't give up now.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, although the situation is really bad, he is not hopeless, because the real decisive condition for completing the task is that the protagonist is in love with each other and he is HE. As long as this goal can be achieved, the process is not important anymore. .

What if they were all reborn? Rebirth essentially just adds a piece of experience and knows some things that will happen in the future. It is not a split personality. These people are essentially themselves, with their own characters and thoughts, and many deep-rooted things will not be caused by rebirth. just changed.

Just like a fool, he will not become wise because of rebirth, and a cold and evil person will not become kind and compassionate because of rebirth.

So in their previous lives, they hated themselves so much, so naturally they wouldn't fall in love just because they were reborn once.

The reason why Jing Sui and Brandon are uncharacteristically good to them is not so much because they like it, but because they feel guilty. Because they sacrificed their lives to save them in the last life, they feel regretful after their death, and they want to be reborn after they are reborn. Compensation is also reluctant to say in the past, after all, belongs to the decent camp, not so crazy.

As for Carlos and Wen Yan, the two sinister villains who disregard human life, even if they are reborn with their personalities, they are probably more calculated on themselves, and bad people will not change their minds and become good people just because they are reborn once.

Taking 10,000 steps back, it doesn't matter whether they feel guilty or full of calculations, he is just an insignificant cannon fodder, as long as Jing Sui can love Ning Yu, there is still hope for completing the task!

Thinking of this, Ji Ling finally regained his strength and began to carefully analyze the situation he was facing now.

In the last life, he plotted Ning Yu's success, Jing Sui's hero saved the beauty, and showed his love before the whole people. Because of this, he caused the people's strong dissatisfaction with the nobles. Using such despicable methods in a duel is undoubtedly a violation of the laws of the empire. Jing Sui wanted to punish him in order to quell the anger of the people, but at a critical moment Ning Yu stood up to intercede for him and forgive him generously before letting him He ultimately escaped punishment.

The reason why Ning Yu did this, Ji Ling thinks, is that on the one hand, Ning Yu is a bright and broad-minded white lotus person, not the kind of vicious person who will retaliate; on the other hand, it is because he is actually a smart person. It would be of no benefit to him to kill him at the time of planting, so he might as well take it as soon as he sees it. He won a good reputation without causing the imperial aristocracy to resent and resist him, and he was kind enough to let Jing Sui not have to worry about it. He offends Grand Duke Ji Ting, and it can be said that he covers everything.

Kindness and integrity do not mean low emotional intelligence - Ning Yu shows it most vividly.

But this time, the person who was rescued by the hero became me...

At that time, when faced with Jing Sui, who played cards out of common sense, Ji Ling was very collapsed and desperate, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is actually not so bad, because Ning Yu still has both fame and fortune. Not only did he win himself in an open and fair manner, but also because of Jing Sui's maintenance of himself, he won the sympathy of the people.

The only thing that has changed is that this time it was Jing Sui who took the blame...

But it was not a big problem, because Jing Sui's handling was very clever at the time, which greatly appeased the emotions of the people. Even if some people were still dissatisfied, it was not enough to affect the situation. While protecting himself, he let the bad things happen. Impact is minimized.

Therefore, Ning Yu and Jing Sui did not suffer any real losses in this matter.

What really worried and troubled Ji Ling was Jing Sui's attitude towards Ning Yu.

Because he did not hesitate to do it to Ning Yu for his own sake!

In your last life, you were married couples anyway. If Jing Sui was really reborn and felt guilty about herself, then it should be love for Ning Yu.

So here comes the question.

With Jing Sui's rational and calm personality, will he ruthlessly attack his lover because of a trace of guilt towards him?

It doesn't make sense!

And if what he said yesterday was true, then he seemed to put his own importance in front of Ning Yu. Could it be that he died for him once, and he finally found his own goodness and was moved by his own love, no If you like Ning Yu again, do you like yourself instead?

No way

Ji Ling started to panic again when he thought of this, and panicked!

No, definitely not!

With Jing Sui's ruthless character, he can fall in love with Ning Yu because the original author has already decided, which is an irresistible force of fate. If Ji Ling hadn't read the original text, he wouldn't believe that a person like him would truly love him. Ning Yu... So how could such a person fall in love with him just because he died for him?

To fall in love with himself so easily, is he still that ruthless His Majesty?

Ji Ling's heart was numb.

If he had known that today would come, he would never have rescued Jing Sui at that time. Anyway, Carlos wouldn't have been able to win if he didn't do it at the time... If God gave him another chance, he would have rescued a dog. They will not save this unhappy dog ​​emperor! (Here refers to the sadness of Ning Yu

Ji Ling thought about it during the day, at night, eating, and sleeping.

Cheer yourself up for a while.

After a while, he was out of breath again.

For a while he looked dazed.

Hesitating for a while.

After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a clue. He really couldn't understand why Jing Sui did this. It seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what he had overlooked... He hated this kind of deep thinking. Incredible person ah ah ah!

Because of this change, Ji Ling did not leave the door every day, and was full of worries and confusion about his future.

………………

That night he sat in his yard as usual, staring at the sky in a daze. The nine shining satellites in the sky reminded him all the time that this was not his world...

Wen Yan walked in from the outside and saw the pale boy at a glance, sitting there in a trance, looking up at the sky, so lonely and lonely.

As if he didn't belong to this world at all.

There was a faint bitterness in Wen Yan's eyes. Thinking of what happened that day, his heart was dull and painful. Although Ji Ling didn't have an accident in the end, and even got out of the body intact, but for him who was obsessed with Jing Sui, the result was the same as the previous life. It's no different.

Because the people he loves disdain him and only care about other people.

Jing Sui seemed to save Ji Ling, but in fact, it was just to protect Ning Yu, so that Ning Yu would not get revenge for accidentally hurting Ji Ling. He could see this, and many people could see it.

Ji Ling should have seen it too.

So how sad should the young man be now?

Wen Yan walked over gently, his heart was full of pity, and his dark eyes stared at Ji Ling's face softly, and whispered: "It's very late, are you still going to rest?"

Ji Ling turned his head woodenly and looked at the silver-haired man standing respectfully in front of him. This was not a worry.

I thought that after he became the speaker, he would not continue to waste time to please himself. In the last life, he had been very perfunctory to himself. In this life, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he still ran towards him every three days, and all kinds of brushes existed. feel.

Because of his low mood, Ji Ling was too lazy to look for words to run on Wen Yan. After thinking about this, he was also a reborn guy. Helpless and dazed, he couldn't help but ask him the doubts that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, and said: "Do you think His Majesty might like me?"

Wen Yan looked at the pale and delicate face of the young man. In the darkness of the night, the helplessness and fragility in those clear eyes could be seen at a glance. He asked him this question in such a lonely way... Wen Yan felt pain and pity in his heart, and could hardly bear to speak.

He knew very well that it was impossible for Jing Sui to like Ji Ling.

In the last century, Ling was infatuated, and he couldn't exchange a look back from Jing Sui. That man had no heart at all, he would not love someone.

But how could he say this cruel answer to these almost broken eyes?

Wen Yan was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Your Majesty will definitely like you."

When Ji Ling heard this, his face was almost ashen, he wanted to kill himself, what did he do to ask Wen Yan this question! I just want to hear the answer that fits my heart, and I don't want to hear anything else!

With tears in his eyes, he stubbornly refused to listen: "You lied to me! He won't like me!"

Wen Yan looked at him with a heartache. The boy he loved was such a confident, bright and proud person. He was the most honorable prince in the world. , uttering such self-abandoning words.

How deep is the injury to be so desperate?

Wen Yan slowly clenched his hand hanging by his side, suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Ji Ling, raised his eyes and stared into Ji Ling's eyes, his thin lips parted lightly, and made a low voice: "If he doesn't like you , then... can you stop liking him?"

As long as you say no, I will never let you go.

Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan's eyes. In the dark eyes of the man, there was an incomparably complex dark color, as if something terrible was deeply suppressed and bound, stupid-stupid-desire-moving, as long as he had a word to say It's not right, they will release the demons that are imprisoned in them...

Ji Ling shivered subconsciously.

I just want to hear from you that he won't like me, but you throw the problem back at me and scare me! Sure enough, it is impossible to chat happily with a villain like you!

Ji Ling, who didn't dare to collapse, lowered his eyes sadly, and said choked, "I, but I can't help but like him..."

When Wen Yan heard this sentence, the cluster of flames in the bottom of his eyes seemed to be quenched by something cold, and only a piece of ashes remained, bleak.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic arc, as if mocking his own wishful thinking.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and opened them again. In the black phoenix eyes, there was only a thick black that could not reveal a trace of light. He gently held Ji Ling's hand and said softly, "I will help you."

Ji Ling looked at him blankly.

Wen Yan stared at him deeply, his low voice thickened by the darkness of the night, as if he promised, "As long as it is your wish, I will help you achieve it."

In the last life, I had a selfish desire to use despicable means to possess you.

In this life, I just want you to be happy.

It doesn't even matter if it pushes you towards someone else.
