Regarding Bai Yicong's ridicule, He Manzhou explained casually. Then she smiled and filled the wine glasses of herself and Bai Yicong opposite, and touched the glasses generously.

"Come on, come on, life in the world, the vast sea of people, it is also a blessing to meet people who make themselves not rational enough, let us toast to this great love. ”

"You drink less. Bai Yicong said.

"It's okay, didn't you say that plum wine doesn't have any degrees, and we haven't finished drinking a small pot yet. He Manzhou chuckled, as if he was casually lamenting the love of his father and mother, and as if he was hinting at something with Bai Yicong, "But in fact, I can understand that if one day I can meet someone who makes me irrational, then no matter how difficult it is, I am willing to be with him, as long as I am really needed, I will definitely cherish it." ”

Bai Yi said from the bottom of his heart, no matter how much you don't have a degree, you can't stand your low alcohol consumption, isn't this already talking nonsense.

But in fact, these words are really not nonsense, but He Manzhou's heart.

When it comes to Miss He's mental state at the moment, it is probably that her brain is still sober, and her behavior is completely controllable, and she knows what she is saying and doing. But the ability to control has been significantly reduced, the specific manifestation is that the wine is strong and courageous, and the words that are usually not too embarrassed to say are not scruples at this time, and they are all said casually.

"Like, with you...... I hope you can need me the most, good words are used to coax people, trust and habit are reserved for lovers. What is a lover, it has to be able to tell the other party everything, to be absolutely honest. When two people are together, they will not become a constraint between each other, but they will have an extra place to shelter from the wind and rain. I know that it is safest to be by your side, and I can trust you with my back, even when I am the most helpless, I will not doubt you, and you can also deliver the same trust to me, then I can afford to say a lover. ”

When he said this, He Manzhou had a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Her fingertips were stained with transparent wine, and she drew a few water marks on the table boringly, and finally she didn't know what she was thinking, and subconsciously drew a heart.

The next table is also a couple of young couples who come on a date, and the girl is tired of coquettishly playing with the boy at the opposite table, and there are a few sweet words accompanied by laughter.

"Come, tell me how much you like me?"

The girl asked her boyfriend in a soft voice, and the boy answered very seriously without thinking.

"My favorite person is you, I've never liked someone like this like this. ”

"Cut, you just know how to talk flatteringly, and I don't know how many little girls you've coaxed. The girl on her lips was disgusted by such an answer, but she was full of bright and dark show, and soon said delicately, "That....... Will you leave me?"

"No, I will always love you. ”

.......

Listening to these words, Bai Yicong's gaze sank slightly.

His mind drifted far away, and for no reason he began to recall many things that he had and had not.

No one knew what Bai Yicong was thinking about at these times, even He Manzhou, who was sitting opposite, couldn't guess his thoughts.

Those about the past when he was young, the open and secret struggle with his brother, the huge pressure brought by his father's arbitrariness, and the external and internal strife after taking over the entire Bai family, and the enemy on his back....... Bai Yicong's pressure is too great, he must always stay calm, let himself be indestructible to deal with all emergencies, and not tolerate a little mistake.

The situation of the Bai family is far more complicated and deeply involved than imagined.

Bai Yicong originally wanted to investigate the mysterious death of his father and brother, but he regarded this as something that had to be investigated and completely solved even if it cost more. However, as the investigation progressed, he found that these were just the beginning of everything, and what was brewing in the middle was a crisis that originated from the ancient times, the thunderstorm brought about by the ancient Wu clan of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and that inheritance.

The mystery left by the grandfather is still to be solved, what kind of terrible conspiracy is hidden behind the treasure of the relict king, no one can predict, the second uncle's wolf ambition and impatience have caused more resistance to his already difficult investigation. There is so much to do, too much time is pressing, the revenge planned by the twelve concubines, the terrible gods are about to awaken, and every minute is a variable.

In such a situation, Bai Yi has never had the luxury of expecting anything else.

He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't have the heart and energy to touch feelings. For such an act, Liu Mu's wanton and dashing playboy didn't understand at all, and he couldn't understand why his cousin was so young that he had to live an ascetic life and couldn't let himself live a little more comfortably.

When it comes to Bai Yicong's private life, he has no private life at all, and he lives like a retired old cadre all day long, not to mention the dinner, wine, and social bureaus, and even lace news. So much so that Boss Bai is clearly a character who calls for wind and rain in the antique circle of Z City at every turn, and is much higher than others in all aspects, and it is a bit of a disadvantage to describe Boss Bai as a young talent, no matter how you look at it, it should be a seed player with constant peach blossoms. But people are like insulators in love, and so far they haven't met the peach blossom that belongs to him.

After all, no matter how beautiful and moving the peach blossoms are, they can't stop people from putting their minds on emotions at all.

There are not a few beautiful girls who covet Boss Bai, and they have tried their best, but they still have no chance to contact Bai Yicong. I finally saw it at the cocktail party in the antique circle, and let the girls show their skirts flying, but Bai Yicong was like a dragon who could not see the end of the world, and even a look was quite stingy.

The final result is that the celebrities in the social circle are all breathing, and they can't help but complain that Boss Bai is good everywhere, but the aesthetic level is not very good, and he seems to be blind. After hearing such rumors, of course, Liu Mu inevitably came back to laugh at his cousin as soon as possible, but Bai Yicong seemed to be like no one, happy to continue to be blind like this, and was quite comfortable with pure heart and few desires, exuding a desireless and wantless atmosphere of love from beginning to end.

In this regard, Liu Mu can only sigh with emotion, this is because his cousin has not yet opened his mind.

But fate was so caught off guard, when Bai Yicong met He Manzhou, everything changed.

Bai Yicong was quite dismissive of Liu Mu's evaluation.

Earlier, Bai Yi never expected that he would be tempted one day, he would be difficult to hold himself, he would be worried, and he would constantly lower his bottom line for the sake of a person, and change his usual principles of doing things like this. There are better ways to solve many things, or he can come up with countless polite and decent refusals, don't give He Manzhou hope from the beginning, and don't make those meaningless delays.

However, he couldn't bear it.

Just looking at He Manzhou's smiling eyes, he couldn't say a word of cruelty.

At first, when I didn't have a deep affection, I couldn't bear it, but now with more and more contact, I can't take care of it anymore.

Like, how can you not like?

During this time, the relationship between the two people continued to heat up, He Manzhou was like an extremely bright cloud-breaking sky light on a hazy day, so that Bai Yicong couldn't help but get closer, he never gave up anything, but He Manzhou became the only special case.

In the end, Bai Yicong was already shaking.

He always put his feelings last, and the rise and fall of the entire Bai family was the disaster left by the ancestors of the Bai family, and it was the thing that he could not choose to call "responsibility". Bai Yicong was even ready to solve the scourge of the Lost King's Treasure at all costs, no matter how much he paid, he would not let these become a threat.

But why can't you choose it for yourself?

When he spoke, Bai Yicong's voice was very flat, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. But this was the first time he had spoken his heart when facing He Manzhou, and for the first time in his life, he was willing to reveal those parts that were wrapped in ice and snow, and he never imagined that he could confess to this extent earlier.

"I'd rather believe in myself if I could. The terrible thing about habit is that it will unconsciously make people adapt to a certain state, and it is much more difficult to get rid of it after adapting to it than not having it before. When the emotion is suppressed and rational, people will become less decisive. Or that the very thing of "need" makes people weak, and I don't need to put this in others. ”

"Didn't you just say that I can rely on you, and now I don't need these sustenances. He Manzhou was slightly stunned, and muttered angrily, "Can you still talk a little more, Bai Yicong, what about the most basic trust between people, it's fun for you to fool me back and forth like this?"

"These are not conflicts, you can rely on me, and I will keep you safe by my side. Bai Yicong's eyes drooped slightly, and his voice couldn't hear too much emotion, "It's not good to be protected by me?"

"What does it mean to be protected unilaterally, you are my guardian, and I don't lack a father. I don't need your special protection, since we are partners, we are people who are born and die together, and deliver each other's backs, not to mention whether it will really encounter so many crises, even if it is really encountered, I will not be afraid, I can bear it with you. ”

"It's nice to face problems together, but how many people can do it?" Bai Yi slightly hooked up from the corners of his lips, and looked at He Manzhou with some ridicule, "With so many words, how much confidence can you show up?"

"Hey, Bai Yicong, why don't I usually find you so pessimistic? Can you think about life a little better, many things are not so bad, the pressure is given by yourself, you and me, what are you afraid of?"

"What's the matter, you're so reliable?"

"Yes, you don't think it's chic to choose not to get it at all because you're worried about losing it? What's so bad about relying on a person, since you want to be close to your heart, then follow your heart to adapt to a certain state, what can you do?"

He Manzhou responded without thinking about it, the wine came up, and he didn't have too many scruples when he spoke.

"Need doesn't make people weak, fear of losing talent. Bai Yicong, I've wanted to talk about you for a long time, always doing something with a shelf, like a moving ice cube, putting on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, even if others want to be good to you, they will be stunned. You can try to rely on others, try to feel the warmth, and before that, you should learn to trust. ”

Bai Yicong seemed to have heard something new, and laughed lowly, he chewed He Manzhou's words carefully, and then finally opened his mouth.

"So, you're saying I can count on you?"
