Huo Xi looked at her stunned appearance, and suddenly felt a little cute.

He asked her rhetorically: "When do you think the relationship between two people is the strongest?"

Chi Jiao really hadn't thought about this question, she held her cheeks and struggled for a while: "When we were together just now?"

Huo Xi shook his head: "It's just the opposite." ”

Chi Jiao was stunned: "Why?"

"Love parting, can't beg. Two of the eight hardships in life, have you heard of it?"

Huo Xi looked at Chi Jiao, didn't know what to think, and a hint of self-deprecation flashed in his eyes.

But it was only a moment, and it was back to normal.

"Feelings are strongest only when people are in the most pain. ”

"In terms of handling feelings, this Mrs. Qin is obviously much more experienced than you. She deliberately provoked you and Fu Zhengxiao, not only to make you care about each other, but also to never be together, so that your relationship can always be boiling. ”

"And in this case, don't say that you go to Fu Mingheng for revenge, you will lose a few hairs, and Fu Zhengxiao may not be able to sleep all night. ”

Chi Jiao wanted to refute.

But when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had just fainted a few days ago, and he immediately flew over from Haicheng, and his heart instantly hurt.

Chi Jiao took a deep breath.

If Huo Xi hadn't told her these words today, she would only feel that she had nothing to do with Fu Zhengxiao, but now that she knew the truth, she instantly felt an indescribable complex sourness in her heart.

Even if she knew that the difference between herself and Fu Zhengxiao was calculated by Qin Shu, what could she do?

It's true that Qin Shu provoked them, but the letter left by grandma is also true.

Grandma's words were like an imprint on her heart.

Whenever I dream back at midnight, in the dead of night, I can't help but think of him occasionally, and those imprints will become bright red and hot again, like a whip that has just fallen, reminding her of the unjust death of her parents, the grievances of her grandfather, and the unwillingness of her grandmother for a lifetime......

These things, like mountains, weighed her down and almost couldn't breathe.

"Jiaojiao, I'm telling you this today, not because I want you to be more sad, but because I don't want you to be kept in the dark and calculated. ”

Chi Jiao came back to her senses and saw Huo Xi looking at herself intently.

The eyes are clear, sincere, and firm.

"Of course, I'm telling you this today, and I'm also a little selfish. I want to know a little bit more about me, not just about my so-called superpowers. ”

Chi Jiao couldn't help but look at him again.

Huo Xi smiled at her, his eyes were still warm and firm: "Fu Zhengxiao and I are not the same person, or to be precise, I may be different from everyone you knew before." ”

"When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I was awakened to this ability, and it used to swell me for a while. It's a really cool feeling that a lot of things that you once dreamed of are suddenly available without much effort, right?"

Chi Jiao pursed her lips and did not answer.

"Looks like you're much smarter than I was back then. Huo Xi laughed: "I was really happy for a long time, but it didn't take long for me to find that this feeling of coolness has been weakening, and in the end, no matter how precious things I get, I don't seem to feel happy anymore." ”

"It wasn't until that time that I realized that what was too easy to get was too limited in terms of satisfaction. At the same time, I also realized that if I allowed myself to control others at will, I would slowly break the original order of the world, and sooner or later these would come back. ”

"In fact, I was already being attacked by then. ”

Chi Jiao couldn't help but ask, "What kind of backlash?"

"Mental torture. ”

Chi Jiao pursed her lips, not quite understanding what he meant.

Huo Xi thought for a while: "That's it, let's give you an analogy...... Do you have any special things that you're afraid of? Like snakes, rats, cockroaches?"

Chi Jiao shook her head.

She grew up in the countryside, and she naturally saw a lot of these things, so she naturally didn't think there was anything to be afraid of, but she was really afraid of it......

"Tiger. ”

Huo Xi: "???"

It was the first time he had heard someone say he was afraid of tigers.

Chi Jiao looked at him speechlessly, and also felt quite speechless: "Isn't the tiger terrible?

“......”

Huo Xi thought about it, and it seemed that he really would.

Although after the rendering of many literary works and film and television dramas, as well as the domestication of zoos, etc., modern people have gradually dispelled their fear of tigers, and even think that tigers are very cute, but these things aside, if you meet a tiger in the wilderness unarmed......

That's pretty desperate indeed.

At least it's much more desperate than encountering snakes or rats or whatever.

"If you are locked in a room with a tiger, the tiger is chained and it can't touch you no matter what, but it never gives up and tries to approach you from all angles. What would you do if you were asked to stay overnight in this situation?"

“......”

Does this need to be asked? Is it that everyone will break down, right?

"I'm talking about mental torture, and that's pretty much what it feels like. Huo Xi said calmly: "Every time I use this ability to control others, my spirit will be tortured in a similar way. ”

"Of course, depending on the time and difficulty of control, the degree of wear and tear is not the same. ”

And the example I just gave is actually just a mental factor, that is, the torture of fear, but the backlash I suffer is not only fear, but also other emotions such as anxiety, loneliness, misanthropy, and so on. ”

Chi Jiao understood.

"Then you hypnotized the three nannies last night, and they were also counterattacked?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Of course." ”

Chi Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Is it serious?"

It was rare for Chi Jiao to take the initiative to care about herself, a smile flashed in Huo Xi's eyes, and then she quickly suppressed it, and pursed her lips without a trace: "It's okay." ”

"What do you look like?"

Huo Xi coughed: "It's probably the level of insomnia that can't sleep for half an hour." ”

"......" Chi Jiao raised his hand angrily and pointed to the door: "You can go." "It's a shame that she's really nervous for him!

Huo Xi laughed lowly: "Okay, don't tease you, the three of them are completely defenseless against me, and it's really easy to hypnotize the three of them." ”

Chi Jiao immediately understood the point of his words.

"So, your ability is also affected by the level of defense in the other party's heart?"

Huo Xi nodded: "That's right." ”

Chi Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she is now on guard, so she shouldn't be easily hypnotized by him, right?

"What's the matter, afraid that I'll hypnotize you?" Huo Xi couldn't help but feel funny when he saw her look for the rest of her life: "If I really want to do this, do you think I will wait until today?"
