Chapter 170: Breaking the Ice
Don't look at Yan Yueque's great progress on the battlefield during the day, she cooperated smoothly with Feng Boliang, and also showed a combination of skills that required a very high tacit understanding between the two, but at night, their relationship became delicate again.
Outside the courtyard here, Yan Yueque was sitting quietly and resting alone, and when Feng Boliang walked to him, he patted him on the shoulder casually, handed over a cigarette, and asked:
"Borrow a fire?"
Yan Yueque's eyelids jumped slightly, and she was a little reluctant to set her on fire, looking at the person who sat down across from her, swallowing clouds and spitting fog with a peaceful face, completely treating herself as a "demon girl" who did not exist, Yan Yueque was angry for a while, as if to save face, and threw down a sentence hatefully:
"Don't think that if you make a contribution today, I will change my opinion of you!"
Feng Boliang glanced at him casually: "If you change your outlook and can get more points, maybe I will work a little harder." ”
In the meantime, no matter Yan Yueque's repeated cynicism, Feng Boliang always smoked a cigarette freely, and from time to time he replied with a few straight ridicules. In this confrontation, Yan Yueque can be called a complete defeat!
"Hey, let's play a game of chess. Then, Feng Boliang had a whim, took out the chess box, spread it out in front of him, and put the two-colored chess pieces in their respective positions. Judging by the skillfulness of her movements, it seems that this is her usual entertainment.
"What the hell do you want to do with this demon girl?" Yan Yueque was really impressed by her "thinking about one play".
Feng Boliang replied as a matter of course: "Playing chess is good for your brain! Especially for someone like you, who is playing conspiracy and calculation all day long, you can broaden your mind even more." After arranging the chess pieces properly, she threw a look at Yan Yueque: "Hey, if you don't play it, I'll play it myself." ”
So, she played two roles by herself, one side of which was certainly fierce in attack, and the other side's counterattack was also leaky. Looking at it, it seems that the chess pieces have been transformed one after another on the plane, becoming two soldiers and horses fighting on the battlefield. The blood, the thrill, are all perfectly interpreted on this static chessboard.
Yan Yueque also had to marvel at her chess skills, from a casual look at it at the beginning, to a serious way of figuring out the chess path, and finally couldn't help it, when Feng Boliang was worried about a counterattack, he knocked on the chessboard with a little smug finger, and took the initiative to remind: "Go here." ”
After the first guidance, Yan Yueque didn't seem to be satisfied with just being a bystander. He simply took over the white son who was close to his side and fought against the black man controlled by Feng Boliang.
If you want to talk about chess skills, in fact, Yan Yueque's chess skills are not bad.
After all, just like Feng Boliang said, people like them who are good at strategy will more or less like to play chess.
And meeting opponents in chess is like meeting confidants in wine, which makes the two more and more speculative. Many of the words they don't say directly, their strategic thinking, and their philosophy of life are pinned on this chess piece game, and they complete silent exchanges in the bloodless fight.
As far as Yan Yueque is concerned, in fact, since they reached the agreement to "defeat Group B as soon as possible", he has accepted Feng Boliang. The combined attack skills on the battlefield have sublimated their feelings. But that's what it is...... He inevitably has a sense of anxiety that he is "off track".
He knew that now in the outside world, there were many elders of Tianxiao Pavilion who were paying attention to him. If they see it, they and the demon maiden of the Nine Shadows Palace...... So how do they see themselves?
Even if the descendants of the two major forces have entered the Heavenly Palace Gate separately, if they exist between the two, the grudges that have existed for thousands of years will not be extinguished. Pavilion masters, as well as those parents who have high hopes for themselves, can they tolerate such "cross-border friends" like themselves?
People and the world are originally aware that they belong to one part, and what they can really do is belong to another part. Although Qinglan had clearly pointed out that he was just a delicate puppet cultivated by Tianxiao Pavilion, and he also agreed with this, he could not immediately give up the responsibilities he had shouldered for many years because of this, and immediately live for himself without any obstacles.
Therefore, his attitude of being "arrogant" again tonight is not only angry with himself, but also angry with the rules he is powerless to change.
He needs a catharsis, a bridge, a space where he can forget the identities of the two for a while!
In this way, the two played game after game. Because of the equal strength, it is indeed quite pleasant. All kinds of tricks and tricks to turn the tables in a desperate situation are enough to feast the eyes of Go lovers watching the live broadcast.
"I didn't expect your chess skills to be good. In the end, Yan Yueque finally praised sincerely.
"It's always a demon girl, aren't you tired. Feng Boliang smiled casually, "It's better to change your name." For example, it's called a beauty?"
Yan Yue was stunned, so she was ...... Molesque?
……
This game of chess seems to have finally given him a comprehensive finish to his compromise with himself.
He didn't become friends with the demon girl of the Nine Shadows Temple, he just found a companion to play chess.
With this excuse, he can finally treat people and make friends without guilt, and he no longer has to put on a hedgehog face against his will.
After getting acquainted with them, he heard a lot of gossip, and he was often surprised to hear it.
"The eldest lady of the Nine Shadows Hall is fighting with the gangsters, are you kidding me?"
Although he still thinks about the difference between high and low in his heart, and feels that it is "humiliating" to mix with the ninth-rate gangsters with their family background, but I have to say that he is still very envious of listening to their wonderful stories.
Compared to them, his life is so boring that he only cultivates and cultivates......
In the eyes of the elders, he did not waste a single moment. He has no entertainment, no rest, he doesn't fall in love, he has no distractions, he is a model for all his disciples.
But looking back on these years, who is it that really wasted his life?
recalled those past events, but in Rong Xiao's heart, he sighed like this.
"Yes, she really doesn't look like a big lady at all. But that's what she is, it's my favorite Ryoko. ”
……
On the same quiet night, on the side of Group B, Jian Zhiheng gently knocked on Xu Miyi's door.
"Do you have time now, can you talk to me about it?" When Xu Miyi pulled the door panel a little confused, Jian Zhiheng said in a hurry.
Xu Miyi wrapped a towel around her shoulder, and her hair was still wet and hanging down her side. It looks like he's just taken a shower and ready to go to bed.
Despite this, she did not show obvious unhappiness at Jian Zhiheng's abrupt visit. While slowly wiping his hair, he looked him up and down, and coldly threw out a sentence: "Are you in love?"
Jian Zhiheng smiled awkwardly, I really don't know whether to say that she has no sense of humor or is too good at telling cold jokes.
"That...... I just want to ask, "Since the other party didn't show the intention of chasing customers, Jian Zhiheng also stubbornly said, "The girl who used the enchantment to PK with us before, that is, the goddess of luck this time, do you know her?"
In the last battle to defend the city, because he and Guan Lin triggered the combined attack technique, his divine sense spread throughout the battlefield, and all his perceptions became very keen, as long as he wanted, he could even hear the heartbeat of each warrior. Naturally, when Qinglan appeared, he also heard Xu Miyi's muttering in surprise: "It's her."
Jian Zhiheng, who didn't know that his first love memory had been erased, fell in love with Qinglan again. This time, she was able to see her as the "goddess of luck" in the city, and Jian Zhiheng regarded it as a rare fate. But he also kept in mind that the two sides were on hostile sides, and if he accosted her privately, he was afraid that his companions would be treated as traitors. So, he endured it with difficulty.
It wasn't until Qinglan left that Jian Zhiheng chased her out, not because he wanted to talk to her, but because he wanted to look at her more.
But that's it, he saw the conversation between her and Xu Miyi around the corner from a distance. Although I didn't hear the conversation clearly, I was finally sure that they had a good relationship.
I want to ask for news about that girl, but this time someone has someone to ask!
From the first time he mentioned Qinglan, Xu Miyi's face changed slightly, biting his lip, but he didn't deny it.
Seeing this, Jian Zhiheng was also surprised and delighted: "That's great! It seems that I asked the right person!"
Realizing that he was too enthusiastic, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "That's right, she was the first, and after I saw it, I thought of the girl who came home." Moreover, I always felt that she was very familiar, even though it was the first time we met, but it seemed like we had known each other for a long time......"
Maybe it's because his personality is too big, although there are many girls around him, but they are all friends with him. Even Yin Qiao, who was once regarded as a "golden boy and jade girl" in the primary department, Jian Zhiheng knew very well that he had never had any further feelings for her.
Is it really impossible for me to really like someone from the perspective of love, from the perspective of a boy liking a girl? Sometimes, seeing friends in pairs, Jian Zhiheng is not only happy for them, but also occasionally arouses emotion.
Year after year, he missed the most youthful and beautiful "campus love" in all the mouths, entered the Tiangong Gate, and was fed by everyone's dog food, but he still didn't meet the one who could occupy his heart. Even if this continues, he will wonder if there is something wrong with his psychology!
Until I met the blue ...... He really experienced what others often say, the feeling of "pounding heart". This feeling...... Maybe it will only happen once in a lifetime. So he doesn't want to retreat, he doesn't want to regret it, he also wants to try to hold on to his happiness!
"Maybe that's a bit reckless...... But if she's my destiny, I don't want to miss it. ”
"So, hopefully you can tell me something...... Information about her. Speaking of this, Jian Zhiheng hurriedly added, "Of course, you don't have to worry, I will never betray the team for personal reasons, and I will always be clear about my identity as a Group B fighter until the trial is over!"
Under his sincere request, Xu Miyi's attitude was unexpectedly cold.
"Dismiss this idea as soon as possible. There will be no result between you. ”
After a while, she explained with some reluctance: "Qinglan has been set a long time ago. If someone who has nothing to do with her dares to approach her easily, he will inevitably pay a heavy price, even his life. ”
"I'm not afraid!" Jian Zhiheng blurted out without thinking about it, "I like someone, if you don't even have the courage to face risks for her, then it's too unresponsible, right?"
Listening to her tone, it's not that Qinglan has a sweetheart, but that someone has taken a fancy to her early and is bent on locking her by his side.
Not to mention that men and women are unmarried, everyone has the opportunity to compete fairly, just saying that person is so domineering, I am afraid that he is a dangerous person. Who knows, will it be an extremist like Yin Qiao's suitor back then? In this way, this has further stimulated his desire to protect Qinglan.
"What about Guan Lin?" Xu Mi turned around and asked a question that he didn't expect.
"In the ring, I've seen his dreams. Xu Miyi said, approaching him step by step, and in her eyes, she was slowly releasing layers of transparent spiral light waves, "He is so dependent on you in his deep consciousness, if you abandon him like this, marry another wife and have children, don't you think it's too cruel to him?"
"Linden......" Jian Zhiheng was a little stunned for a while, knowing that he had not done anything wrong, but somehow, he really had a sense of embarrassment as a betrayer.
"He always has to learn to grow on his own. In the end, Jian Zhiheng gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be by his side forever." Besides, this time he did a good job by defeating Su Shi'an in Group A alone? This shows that he already has the ability to take charge of himself!"
"That's because the person he's facing is you!" Xu Miyi accentuated her tone again, and the transparent fluctuations in her eyes surged even more violently, "All his efforts are for you! If you want to leave his life when he is just picking himself up, aren't you afraid that all your past efforts to him will be useless? Aren't you afraid that he will sink into the darkness again?"
"I ......" Under the hint of this subconscious pupil power, Jian Zhiheng even forgot to investigate when Xu Miyi became Guan Lin's spokesperson, but despite this, he still defended with his last sobriety, "I don't understand what you said." ”
"Friends are friends, girlfriends are girlfriends, they are the most important people to me, just like my family, this is not a conflict!"
"In my opinion, it's the same!" Xu Mi's emotions suddenly became excited at this moment, "There can only be one most important position, and if you choose one, you must abandon the other ......"
seemed to realize that she had said too much, so she looked away and hurriedly left a sentence: "Guan Lin attaches great importance to you in his heart, you don't understand at all." ”
"......" Jian Zhiheng was silent for a long time, and just when Xu Miyi thought that he had accepted his hint, he saw him raise his head again. And his vision has returned to clarity, and those mental fluctuations seem to have been completely dissolved from his body by an unknown energy.
"I'm sorry. Jian Zhiheng looked directly at her, and the initial struggle was lost in his voice, "I think, at least I know Linden better than you." Linden, much stronger than you say. ”
Xu Miyi sneered, Jian Zhiheng's situation was full of problems, which seemed to make her extremely angry.
"Okay, since you're so capable, you can find Qinglan's information yourself. I will definitely not help you and will not support you!"
She and you are fundamentally people from two worlds, and that is another realm that you should never touch.
However, since you have to seek death, what can I do......?
Biting his lip and staring at the pair of resolute eyes on the other side, Xu Mi thought hatefully in his heart.
