how to ask
Ji Ling met Ning Yu's sharp gaze, and his expression finally froze. The chill that was almost completely seen through made him instantly calm down.
Ning Yu is testing him.
In fact, when he was kidnapped by 'Gabriel' and stayed at the base, he was almost invisible in his eyes.
He clearly saw through his disguise, and knew that he was not what he appeared to be, but he still deliberately said such words, just to force himself to admit that he was not the person he said he was - not a domineering, arrogant and cunning person. cruel nobility. If he can be honest and sincere, then he will naturally treat the real self with sincerity in another way and attitude.
He wants to know his secret.
But it happened to be the answer he couldn't say, the question he couldn't answer.
Ning Yu stared into Ji Ling's eyes, her voice was slow and clear, her eyes were deep and probing: "You're afraid I know you don't hate me, you're afraid I know you're willing to save me, you can only forgive me if you cover it up. I show goodwill...why is that?"
What is bothering you? What exactly do you want?
If you are willing to speak out, in exchange, I will also tell you my true heart and face everything with you.
Ji Ling looked at Ning Yu's black eyes. In those gentle eyes, there was encouragement, inquiry, and confusion. It seemed gentle and reliable, just like... the person he thought of before.
But it's still different.
The Ning Yu that he thought of, is bright and windy, upright and brave, always living under the sun, and the darkness has never left a shadow on him... But the Ning Yu in front of him has a deeper heart than anyone else. Like walking out of the ruins burned by the fire, he still has his persistence, but he is not the kind of person Ji Ling thinks.
Ji Ling took a deep breath, his expression slowly turned cold, and said, "You are right, I am sorry for you in the first place, so you don't need to feel sorry for me at all."
Ning Yu's eyes dimmed, and disappointment flashed past.
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a fearless expression on his face, and said: "Since I have fallen into the hands of your rebel army, you can do whatever you want to me, after all, I am a high-level noble with great use value, no ?"
Anyway, it's not like you haven't used me before.
He looked at Ning Yu provocatively, come on, hurt each other.
You bastard liar, you lied to me so badly, and wasted so much of my feelings, but you still tried to tell my true words in a few words, so beautiful and dreaming!
Ning Yu fixedly looked at Ji Ling, at the young man's bright and burning eyes, full of anger without flinching, after a long while, he sighed softly: "Just be happy."
Turn around and leave.
Ji Ling looked at the back of Ning Yu's departure, raised his chin and snorted coldly, didn't you have to reason with me according to the character? Now I'm acting like you and you're not happy.
Who can't role play? Come, come, the nobles and the rebels fall in love (cross out) and kill each other! The script is arranged!
The system was silent for a while and said: [I think, he may not really mean that...]
Ji Ling chuckled: [Of course I know that he doesn't really mean that, and won't treat me like that, but is it possible that I can still tell him my true identity and mission? I remember you said that the death rate of the host's identity exposure is extremely high, and it is not in compliance with the regulations. γ
system:γβ¦β¦γ
Ji Ling: [Besides, I'm the one who wants to go home, so why bother with the people here? γ
system:γβ¦β¦γ
Ji Ling: [Even if I say my purpose, can he still help me? If that's the case, it's not impossible to consider :)]
The system suddenly does not force - force it.
He suddenly remembered the conditions for completing the task: Ning Yu and Jing Sui fell in love with each other.
Well, the host is more thoughtful. Some things are really unnecessary and unnecessary.
Ji Ling finally felt a little more at ease after fighting against Ning Yu. His heart was that you, the bastard, had tricked me, so that I couldn't finish the task and couldn't go home! If you really want to help me, you should fall in love with Jing Sui. Now that things have become like this, why are you embarrassed to ask me why? It just pissed me off!
Don't ask, I'll let you and Jing Sui get married immediately!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ji Ling angrily walked upstairs.
Ning Yu's house is a simple two-story building. There is nothing in the house. It can be seen that he rarely lives here.
After all, this guy is either running around or pretending to be a national idol in Emperor Star. How can he come back here often? It's not so much a home as it is a place to stay.
Ji Ling was not polite, just found a room that was pleasing to the eye, cleaned it up, and settled down.
He accumulated a lot of anger and was ready to fight with Ning Yu. Ning Yu saw that he had no intention of hurting people at all, and coupled with his previous behavior, he dared to be so aggressive, but couldn't he also see that he had no intention of hurting others. hurt yourself? Apart from being able to quibble, this guy won't do anything to himself... As for the kind of forced kiss-kiss, he didn't know anyone and was threatened by him at the time, so naturally he can't even think about it now!
It's all my fault that I started to panic because of the shock, and I was caught off guard by this guy, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!
A gentleman who has the ability speaks and does not do anything.
Ji Ling felt that he had completely entered the fighting state, but - Ning Yu, he did not appear!
This kind of feeling is like the person who just quarreled and lost, and finally racked his brains to figure out a strategy to deal with, but the person who beat you before has disappeared! Don't give you a chance to move back a game at all!
vile, so vile!
Although Ji Ling was angry, there was nothing he could do. He certainly wouldn't go to Ning Yu to quarrel, nor was he full of food.
Since you don't show up, just keep out of sight.
Although didn't see Ning Yu, Ji Ling met a lot of new friends here, such as Aunt Zora who warmly invited him to live at home, A Man, a teenager next door, and Uncle Hank across the street, etc. and many moreβ¦β¦
Everyone thought that Ji Ling was Ning Yu's savior and was very friendly to him.
The young man Aman is a big fan of Ning Yu, and is especially grateful to Ji Ling. According to what he said, Ning Yu went out to run errands. He was worried that Ji Ling was unfamiliar with him here, and he specially entrusted him to take care of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling woke up this morning and rubbed his eyes. As soon as he went out, he saw a black-haired and black-eyed boy walking in. He was carrying a bamboo basket and looked at him with a smile: "Brother Bai, you are up, Let's go to the streets today?"
Ji Ling smiled at him and nodded: "Okay."
After a few days of getting along, Ji Ling has become good friends with the lively and enthusiastic Aman. Aman is two years younger than himself, so he calls himself brother Bai.
The two were walking and hanging out.
Many people along the way know them, and Ji Ling is also a celebrity.
Aman was shopping on the side, and the aunt who bought the vegetables immediately gave Ji Ling a few more blue and white fruits, and said with a smile: "You saved Ning Yu, you saved Ning Yu, you saved us! Thank you, this is I gave it to you, and you will get a 50% discount on grocery shopping in the future!"
Ji Ling: "...Thank you."
Ji Ling and Aman walked to the old man who was selling barbecue on the street. The old man saw Ji Ling with a wrinkled smile on his face, and said, "Hey, isn't this the cub who saved Xiao Ning, come and come, I'll treat you to eat for free. ,You're welcome!"
Said and served a large plate of barbecue.
Ji Ling: "...Thank you."
Things like this have happened many times in the past few days. Ji Ling was flattered and a little uneasy at first, but later became a little numb. But...he actually never really rescued Ning Yu once, Ning Yu pretended every time and didn't need to save himself at all :)
The savior really lives up to its name!
But he couldn't say it, his mood was complicated.
Aman dipped in Ji Ling's light, sat there eating deliciously, and said to Ji Ling while eating: "Brother Bai, you're welcome, you saved brother Ning Yu, you saved all of us, everyone thank you for what you should Yes! Don't be embarrassed."
Ji Ling: "..."
Shame on it!
But what can he say? Looking at the fragrant grilled fish in front of me, had to sit down and eat it.
Ji Ling has fish in his mouth and eats absent-mindedly. He has heard a lot of things about Ning Yu here these days, some are magical, some are down-to-earth. People here like Ning Yu and think Ning Yu is gentle He is approachable, powerful, intelligent, and reliable. He helps them repel the enemy and protect them again and again. Although Ning Yu is only a person, he is more like a spiritual symbol of the rebel army.
And here, no one said Ning Yu was cruel, as if he was a flawless good man.
Ji Ling was a little puzzled.
The idol Ning Yu can indeed be said to have no black spots, but Gabriel's words...
Ji Ling thought for a while, and asked Aman tentatively, "I used to live outside and didn't know him very well. People said that Lord Gabriel was a very cruel person.
Aman wasn't angry at all, didn't think Ji Ling's words were offensive at all, and smiled: "It's normal that you don't understand outside, those nobles want to try their best to smear Brother Ning Yu, causing many people to misunderstand him. How could Brother Ning Yu be possible? Killing innocents indiscriminately, the nobles he killed are damned people, everyone has the blood of many innocents on their hands, and they are our enemies... Otherwise, even if they are nobles, he will not kill them casually."
He paused and said, "We do all hate the nobles, and some people want to kill all the nobles... But this is not the case with Brother Ning Yu. He said that the nobles are not all bad people. If you want to coexist, you must let go of your hatred. , because hatred blinds people and brings only destruction. He also said that killing is never an end, but a means to an end.β
Ji Ling was silent for a moment and said, "He's right."
Aman smiled happily, his eyes were full of adoration, shining brightly: "Yes, what Brother Ning Yu said is all right! He is the person I admire most!"
Ji Ling couldn't help laughing, and he asked again, "Is Ning Yu his real name? I really didn't expect that the idols Ning Yu and Gabriel would be the same person. It's really shocking."
Aman smiled and said, "It should be. We are more used to calling him Ning Yu. Gabriel is just a code name. With a mask, anyone can be Gabriel."
Ji Ling nodded. In fact, this is a very smart approach. The reason why Ning Yu chose to wear a mask to show people is not just to hide his appearance. After all, there are many ways to hide and change his appearance, but with a mask...
In this way, even if he dies one day, other people wearing masks can inherit this hope.
For the people here, Gabriel is more like a symbol, a spiritual sustenance, an indestructible hope that will not die... Ning Yu is the real him.
But this Ning Yu is different from the Ning Yu Ji Ling knew. If you have to say it, it is more like a combination of Ning Yu and Gabriel.
Ji Ling suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Are his eyes black or green?"
Aman said: "Black."
Ji Ling chuckled in his heart. After a long time, you still wear beauty contact lenses every day! What a fine boy!
The two went shopping for a day, and it was already night when they got home. Aman took out the things in the bamboo basket and gave more than half of them to Ji Ling. When he was about to leave, he just remembered something and said with a smile: " By the way, we are going to go out tonight, do you want to go together?"
Ji Ling asked suspiciously, "Go out?"
Aman nodded: "Our base is underground, but the underground supplies are not sufficient after all. We will regularly arrange teams to go outside to search for supplies and buy goods. Today is our team's turn. If you want to go out, you can join us. It's safer that way."
Ji Ling's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Aman said: "Well, we will gather in ten minutes."
Ji Ling went home and prepared, changed into more convenient clothes and shoes, and went out after a few minutes, just when A Man came to look for him.
Aman took him to the street to gather. There were more than a dozen people in the group, both men and women. The leader should be an evolutionary. They saw that Ji Ling, a newcomer, was very friendly and greeted him with a smile. Doubt or cross-examination, chatting in twos and threes.
When everyone arrived, everyone set off together. The group entered an old metal passage, twisted and twisted. There were still water and mice on the ground, screaming, it should be an abandoned sewer, and they walked about Half an hour later, the smell of damp-moist air came from the front.
The man who led the team pushed aside the half-covered iron plate in front of him and said with a smile, "Let's move around freely, and gather here in two hours."
Everyone immediately dispersed.
Aman said to Ji Ling, "You are new here and are not familiar with this place, so just follow me. The terrain here is complicated, so don't get lost."
Ji Ling nodded in agreement and followed Aman step by step.
was a little worried at first, afraid that people here would guard him and suspect him, but no one asked him a word from the beginning to the end, and no one hid the way in and out. It was so simple...
Ji Ling was a little lost. After walking for a while, he gradually saw the environment he was in, showing a surprised look.
This, here is a ruin!
Aman noticed Ji Ling's surprised expression. The lonely look in his eyes flashed away. He pointed to a black ruin in the distance that couldn't be seen, and said with a smile, "My home was there before."
Ji Ling stared at him blankly.
Aman is very calm, and seems to have been used to all this, and explained: "This used to be a prosperous town, and five years ago, a new consul was appointed. It is said that he came from Emperor Star, and it seems to be from a certain big family. I don't know... In short, he did a lot of excessive things here, and everyone complained, and finally one day people couldn't help it and launched a riot to kill him, which angered the nobles far away in Emperor Star, With a single order from his family, this place was easily razed to the ground, and I just escaped because I was not in the city at the time."
Aman smiled: "Fortunately, it didn't take long for Brother Ning Yu to come here and find us, and took our survivors to build an underground base here. The imperial army probably never thought that there would be people living under this ruin. Anyway, they don't care about us ants who are stubbornly living."
Ji Ling fell silent, feeling a little down.
Aman looked at Ji Ling carelessly and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's been a long time."
Ji Ling smiled reluctantly: "Yeah."
Aman walked nimbly through the ruins, and asked Ji Ling as he ran: "Be careful, the ground here is not easy to walk."
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the imperial army, they did not rebuild their homes on the ground, but all moved underground, so the outside looked completely lifeless, but even if no one took care of them, the green plants still survived tenaciously, and the weeds Growing in the cracks of the ruins, tenacious bursts of unyielding vitality.
Aman skillfully came to a pile of ruins, which should have been a house before. He lifted the lid and opened a small field with melons and fruits. He turned around to greet Ji Ling and said, "Brother Bai, come here. Help me, I picked these today, they can be eaten for a long time."
Ji Ling walked over quickly, rolled up his sleeves and worked with Aman.
It didn't take long for the two of them to fill up the back basket, Aman closed the lid again, and swept the soil under his feet with a branch to remove the footprints, so that no one would find out.
When they returned to the entrance, people came back one after another, carrying a lot of things, as well as some seasonings and cloths that can only be bought outside, as well as various supplies.
They returned to the base along the original road, and the man who led the team smiled at everyone: "It's hard work, everyone has worked hard, let's go."
Ji Ling and A Man went back separately from the others.
On the way, Aman looked at Ji Ling's depressed mood, and said a little nervously: "Hey, don't be sad, we are doing fine now, at least we have a new home and new relatives and friends, and we are not displaced, if If it wasn't for Brother Ning Yu, I might have died a long time ago, so it's really fine."
Ji Ling whispered: "Really..."
Aman scratched his head, remembering that Ning Yu said that Ji Ling was also a homeless person, and thought it was today's event that caused Ji Ling's sadness, so he consoled him earnestly, saying, "We will be family in the future. , so don't be sad!"
Ji Ling had no choice but to nod. When he saw Aman was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Ning Yu, is he like this too..."
Aman was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses for a while, realizing that Ji Ling was asking Ning Yu if it was the same way that he became a rebel, he thought for a while, and said, "I don't know about this, it seems that no one knows about him. The origin, no relatives and no home, it is probably the same..."
He grinned and said indifferently: "There are many people who have no origin here. After all, it is not a pleasant past, and there is no need to mention it. No matter what the past is, everyone still has to look forward."
Ji Ling nodded and whispered, "You're right."
Aman said: "In short, don't think too much, just stay here with peace of mind. I'll see you tomorrow."
Ji Ling looked at the back of Aman's departure, and turned around silently.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Another ten days passed.
Ji Ling is completely familiar with this place, and has followed Aman out several times. He is also familiar with the road outside. He occasionally helps Aman to work together. Aunt Zhuola likes him very much and often invites him to her house for dinner. Zhuo Aunt La thought he was a poor child who had lost his parents and was very gentle to him, and Ji Ling didn't know how to explain it.
Ji Ling came out from Aunt Zora's house for dinner as usual that day. He paused, and instead of going home, he turned around and walked out.
Passing through the winding sewer, climbed up a certain distance, pushed open the lid and walked out.
The ruins at night were extraordinarily silent, as if it had just rained, and there was a fresh smell of earth in the air.
Ji Ling took a breath of the cool air. Compared with the slightly stuffy underground base, he still prefers the outside, even if it's just a ruin...
These days, he often comes out alone at night to breathe, and even if someone sees him on the road, he won't ask any more questions... No one knows his true identity, and no one guards him and suspects him, even if it is so quiet Leaving, or tipping off the news, no one will know at all...
Ji Ling smiled bitterly, so do you trust me so much? Trust a nobleman who always provokes you?
He walked aimlessly on the muddy road.
As far as he could see, there were ruins and broken walls, Ji Ling sighed, as long as he walked out of Emperor Star, he could always see a lot of cruel sides.
This world is just a game to him, but it is a reality to the people here, and compared with the corrupted nobles on Emperor Star, the people here... can give Ji Ling the kind of feeling that is more intimate here. They are people who are similar to him, ordinary, kind, simple, with advantages and disadvantages, and their lives are ordinary and real.
But these people were not doing well.
In this world, there are always things that need someone to stand up and do it.
Even at a heavy price.
Ji Ling felt that he was not qualified to point fingers at Ning Yu's ideals. No matter whether his method was right or wrong, whether his hands were stained with blood, it was not something he could manage, and even if you used me, it didn't matter much.
If you have to say that you are angry, it is still Ning Yu's trick of pretending to be a hero to save the beauty, and shamelessly threatening himself with his own life, so that he is forced to be humiliated! This is not like what a righteous person should do, nor is it necessary to do, it is purely unnecessary, and it is clearly a public revenge!
He's just getting revenge on him for teasing him!
It's a shame that I used to think that this guy was someone who didn't hold grudges, but he wasn't so stingy, he just made fun of him when he got the chance.
Seeing that in order to save him, he was forced to be frivolous by a 'stranger', is it fun and proud?
This bastard!
No matter what you look like in the eyes of others, I have seen through your bad side!
Ji Ling kicked the stone beside his feet fiercely, took a deep breath, and turned around for a while before preparing to go back.
But as soon as he walked around a big tree in front, he saw a man sitting on a ruined roof not far away. Ji Ling was startled, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Ning Yu!
Ning Yu sat there silently, looking up at the sky, the moon was hanging in the air alone, not knowing what to see. When he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked at Ji Ling. His black eyes were shrouded in the night, adding a cool and mysterious color, which made people almost immersed in the mind.
Ji Ling didn't say a word, turned around and left.
He's still mad at him and doesn't want to see this bastard at all!
In the end, before he took two steps, he only heard a gust of wind passing by his ears. Ning Yu jumped lightly and came to Ji Ling, blocking his way. The tall and long body of the man blocked the moonlight and let the shadows shroud down. , Ying Ting's face seemed to be deeper than before.
There was a gentle look in his black eyes, but there seemed to be a hint of exploratory, obscure and complicated look on his face.
Ji Ling glared at him coldly, "Get out of the way! Get in the way!"
The corners of Ning Yu's lips twitched slightly, seemingly helpless, he did not let go, but stepped forward to Ji Ling, his voice smiled, and said lightly: "If you haven't seen you for a few days, you have nothing to say to me? It seems that you really don't care about me at all."
Ji Ling thought that of course, who cares about you? Do you need to care? I used to worry about you, I was blind!
Ning Yu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, staring at the cold color in the boy's eyes, which was also mixed with emotions such as anger, anger, anger, etc. There was no resentment or unwillingness, but there was no gentle concern in the past. It seems that he is really angry...
In fact, he can understand Ji Ling's current mood.
In fact, before the temptation and pressing, he was not sure whether he could get the answer he wanted, and now it seems that he has failed.
The young man was much more stubborn and stubborn than he thought. He had his own perseverance and would not compromise easily.
Deception and fooling are not something that can be erased in a few words.
In this world, not everything can be mastered, at least this one is not, this person is not.
But before the game started, before he understood the temptation, he didn't know how much he cared about the teenager, and he didn't know which direction things would go.
Ning Yu's thin lips pursed, his voice was very soft, and he seemed to have a faint sigh. He said, "You regret it, did you save me?"
