Chapter 60: Deviations
Because of this sudden episode, the strangeness in the mountains and forests was dispelled a lot.
To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than He Manzhou's psychological effect, in fact, there is still a non-stop wind in the windy forest, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier. The umbrella can shelter the pouring rain, but it can't hold the water droplets scattered in all directions, and the unique cold air of winter is added to the cold evening breeze, which makes people shiver.
But Bai Yicong's embrace was warm.
After the two of them shared an umbrella, He Manzhou finally freed her fingers that were about to freeze, she shrunk her hand in her sleeve, and leaned on Bai Yicong's arm quite obediently, like a little milk cat curled up in the cat nest.
Bai Yicong's arm was wrapped around her shoulder, and he naturally took the girl in his arms. In all fairness, this kind of action is not too excessive, it is nothing more than the easiest way to warm each other in the bad weather in the wild, but He Manzhou was stunned to taste the sugar from it, and warmed it all the way to the bottom of his heart.
Even a little bit of progress is progress.
Earlier, He Manzhou didn't understand why those little couples were not tired of walking a few kilometers on the road, and there was clearly no substantive content, but they were willing to do it in pairs and pairs. There seemed to be endless words along the way, and sometimes there was no need to even speak, just staying hand in hand and side by side, as if you could get a powerful psychological satisfaction.
She couldn't figure out what this was trying to do, could it be that she could still generate electricity with love?
It was not until this time, walking side by side with Bai Yicong, that He Manzhou finally understood that mood. Being with the person you like is originally a thing full of happiness, love is like a trickle, silently flowing into every detail of getting along, and you don't need to say much at all, you can feel the satisfaction that spreads from the bottom of your heart.
And the best time for a relationship is nothing more than when it is about to begin.
A little act at will is a temptation after consideration, and the deep meaning in the eyes cannot be hidden, even if it is a pretending to glance at the past inadvertently, it becomes a smile perched on the bottom of the eyebrows when it is not discovered. All the ambiguity and rounding around is to verify whether the other party also has the same thoughts as himself, whether he also feels very special, and he will be worried about it, and those unspoken feelings have become tacit secrets between each other, precipitating into desire to talk.
He Manzhou thought so in his heart, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised a little, and cute little dimples floated next to his cheeks.
Not to mention generating electricity with love, heating with love is a matter of minutes. Otherwise, how could she be on the set of a ghost story, looking at the dead branches and weeds all over the mountains, and the dim and cold moon, she felt less afraid, it was clearly just an ordinary umbrella, but it blocked all the wind and rain.
If you can't block it, you can block it, after all, I like it too much.
Bai Yi never knew anything about the little girl's thoughts that were turning back and forth in He Manzhou's heart, he just held her shoulders and protected her in his arms, giving her a ray of warmth in the cold winter rain.
There are many ways to take care of people, and there are many ways to protect people.
But these are never things that Bai Yicong wants to understand, even when it comes to his closest cousin Liu Mu, he rarely gives soft words, nothing more than unilateral care and protection, and doesn't care whether others are happy or not. There are even times when it is too strong because it is taciturn, but it is counterproductive, and it is obviously the best result but it makes the other side unhappy.
This is why Liu Mu grew up with him since he was a child, and he has a very deep understanding of his cousin's knife mouth tofu heart, and he is quite tolerant of his bad words, so that he can avoid many contradictions.
In this regard, Bai Yicong is very indifferent, perhaps in his opinion, the so-called "protection" itself is something that does not need to be reciprocated, you come and go that is called the exchange of interests, how can feelings have anything to do with interests? It is enough to do what should be done well, and as for whether others accept his affection and think of his good, Bai Yixian does not care about those things.
As for the role is limited to nice soft words, he disdains to say it.
It is probably because the burden of the Bai family was pressed prematurely, and on Bai Yicong's body, the blood and bones of his reckless youth were framed into the shackles of the leader, and behind him was the rise and fall of the four veins of the Bai family, so he had no spare time to think about those who had or not.
Bai is also used to being alone, and he doesn't want to be stumped by anyone or anything, and naturally he doesn't care about the eyes of others. He doesn't need to rely on others, he hasn't thought about what he gets from others, the contest between words and deeds is limited to being able to convince the public, and it doesn't even matter if he doesn't convince people with reason, in the face of overwhelming strength, how many will say a word of disobedience?
After Bai Yan and Bai Yuqiu passed away mysteriously, Bai Yicong took over the worst situation.
Not to mention the internal and external troubles within the Bai family, the second uncle Bai Mu alone is a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, and those eyes with green light are not staring at Bai Yicong for a moment, waiting for a chance to kill him and bite his throat. Bai Mu's wolf ambition was known to the entire Bai family, but Bai Yicong suppressed it for so many years by himself, until he completely grew up and passed the most difficult moment, and he didn't let Bai Mu seize any opportunities.
Bai Yicong was too decisive.
His wanton and chic have long been carved into the skeletal texture, and he has been baptized by the unique calmness and self-control of the superiors, and has become a unique way of doing things, strong and not to be refused. He knows too well what to do and what not to do, and those unnecessary emotions are rejected by him, and he doesn't care about the eyes of others just because of confidence, not recklessly affecting the overall situation.
Bai Yi never had any intentions.
But after meeting He Manzhou, he found that some things had become different. Just as the parts that are tight on the clockwork suddenly relax, but once there is the first deviation, the parts that have been run in will only become more and more relaxed, and what was originally so strict that it does not allow any problems gradually becomes more and more leeway.
He Manzhou is Bai Yicong's deviation.
Before this trip, Bai Yi never thought that he would be so close to He Manzhou, he only regarded this as a business trip, and He Manzhou was just a partner who had to act together. If you want to say that it is different, it is nothing more than that he has a little bit of care, and he is far from caring much, so that now he is beginning to entangle, Bai Yicong feels very incredible.
When did you start to look at He Manzhou differently?
After digging into these things, Bai Yixian was originally just out of the identity of "the daughter of the life-saving benefactor", and wanted to return the favor owed to Lao He back then to He Manzhou. But then He Manzhou came to the door with the codex, and the treasure of the relict king involved the power struggle within the Bai family, and they were inseparable.
This link is linked to each other, how exactly the two of them are entangled step by step, Bai Yicong can't tell clearly.
What is also unclear is that the auction that was originally just to hide people's ears, it was nothing more than a move that allowed Bai Mu to take out the Fa Lang color pocket watch lightly, and then the public opinion caused by it was clearly controllable, but Bai Yicong didn't bother to clarify. Whether there is selfishness in this or not, he knows better than anyone else, and when he investigates it deeply, he just doesn't want to see the little girl disappointed.
Another example is just now, appeasing He Manzhou's little emotions.
Bai Yicong prides himself on being cold, and he cares about the people he cares about, and everything is in plain sight, not to mention that he is not a person who is very familiar with him. But this kind of self-control is obviously not valid in front of He Manzhou, driven by reason, he clearly thinks through his heart, but he really sees her a little bit of wind and grass, but he can't hold it.
In all fairness, although Bai Yicong didn't put his mind on love, He Manzhou's performance was sharp and direct, and he couldn't wait to bring out the girl's ignorant true heart with his own hands, how could he not feel it at all. The delay in giving a result, or the absence of a direct refusal, is in itself an exception.
If you give too many exceptions, it seems like fate.
The night rain was heavy and urgent, full of mud and sand and fine stones, and Bai Yi pursed his lips slightly, and collected his thoughts in his heart. And He Manzhou finally gradually recovered from the crankiness caused by shyness, she stretched out her hand from her coat pocket and tentatively took Bai Yicong's hand.
Bai Yicong's fingertips froze, and he didn't break free after all, but shook it back with his backhand.
He Manzhou: "......"
Happiness came too suddenly, and today's Boss Bai is too well-behaved.
Probably thinking that moving forward so silently would only make the atmosphere more tense, He Manzhou's words and passive skills recurred, she thought about her tone a little, and began to communicate emotionally without words.
"Bai Yicong, I found that you are really strange. ”
Boss Bai deeply felt that He Manzhou's opening sentence was not very smart, but he still rarely showed a little patience, and turned his head slightly to ask.
"What's wrong with me?"
"I really don't understand, why do we have to go up the mountain on a rainy night, your old man can't have any unknown habits, such as horror and horror lovers, or you have to demonstrate it yourself - otherwise why did you go up the mountain with my dad before, you chose a rainy night, and this time it was the same with me?"
"I said I'd tell you when I had to tell you, and before that you just had to listen to me. ”
"So domineering and authoritarian?" He Manzhou muttered in a low voice.
"Do you have an opinion?" Bai Yi turned his head slightly from the side and raised his eyebrows.
"But don't, how dare I?" He Manzhou's voice was lowered, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, "I am a helpless cheap laborer, without any right to speak, whatever Boss Bai asks me to do, I will do it, and I will fight wherever I want." ”
He Manzhou's words were full of anger, and Bai Yicong didn't hear it at all, and said in conclusion.
"So, talk less, do more, be nice. ”
After being appeased by Bai Yicong's words, He Manzhou had no choice but to pause for a while.
The temperature of the palm spread with the interlocking of the ten fingers, and the current occasion had nothing to do with romance, but He Manzhou was stunned to taste some sweetness from the storm. But no matter how sweet it is, it can't stand her mouth that can't be controlled at all.
The silence did not last long, and He Manzhou whispered again.
"Bai Yicong, are you sure we can find that ancient temple?"
For the girl's words for a while, half accosting and half bold, Bai Yicong was too lazy to respond, but just held her hand tighter, as if he was appeasing.
Who knew that the girl took advantage of it and didn't appreciate it, and her little mouth couldn't stop at all: "Hey, I'll talk to you, can you take care of me a little?"
Bai Yi never answered directly, those deep eyes looked at He Manzhou, and opened his mouth lightly: "Do you believe me?"
"I believe you. He Manzhou said.
"Okay, then don't ask, I won't kidnap you, just follow me. Bai Yicong was silent for a while, and simply threw the question back, saying that he was appeasing He Manzhou, but at the end, there was an undetectable laugh in his words.
"Why are there so many words, I have a cat that is more obedient than you. ”
He Manzhou: "......."
I suspect you're disgusted with me, and I have proof.
