Volume 6: I Heard That It Was Love (15)
It's like a grand stage play, the actors take a curtain call, the curtain is pulled down, the chasing light is darkened, everything has come to an end, the world of memory is gradually disappearing, Lin Yingkong clenched his five fingers slightly in amazement, but only the air shuttled between his fingers, he paused, lowered his hand, and walked towards the depths of darkness when the light was completely annihilated.
This seems to be a new world, and in the silent space, the footsteps that seem to be very abrupt swing around, and there is no echo for a long time, as if this is an infinite no-man's land-the heart of the seal...... This is the real inner world of Feng Rong, very dark and empty, as if he can't hold anything, or rather, he doesn't want to put it in.
I don't know how long I walked, there was suddenly a beam of light in the boundless world, it looked like a small dot from a distance, as Lin Yingkong approached, the point of light gradually became larger, and the figure of a black-haired man in the beam appeared, he seemed to be distracted, the handsome silhouette looked more sharp when he was not smiling, and the angle of the hook on the phoenix eyes was like a bent knife, but he sat quietly in the only light in this world, and his body was slowly sinking, as if the floor was a soft and flat swamp, and he swallowed this man who could turn over the river and the sea in the outside world without hesitation。
- This is the twenty-seven-year-old Feng Rong, the real owner who owns the ownership of this sea of knowledge.
Lin Yingkong approached, paused, and then saw that his shadow was not consistent with his body, small, slightly curled up, like the little boy who would never dare to raise his head and stand up straight. Lin Yingkong squatted down, through the beam, and Feng Rong looked at him, he pursed his lips slightly, relaxed his chin, and showed a smile similar to usual, soft, warm, he said in a low voice with a smile: "Minister, long time no see." Although he was still lingering in Feng Rong's memory just now, he felt that he hadn't seen his minister for a long time.
Feng Rong seemed to notice his presence at this time, his eyelids raised, looked at him, and said after a moment, "You are here." ”
After finishing speaking, he sighed, there was a little helplessness between his eyebrows, and Lin Yingkong couldn't help but say, "Why does the minister sigh?"
Feng Rong said: "With you, some decisions can't be made too easily." ”
"What decision do you want to make, Minister?" Lin Yingkong asked, but Feng Rong didn't speak, so he had to ask another one: "Can I influence the minister's decision?"
Feng Rong's tone was flat, "Of course you can." ”
But everyone has the impression that the Minister of Spiritual Law Enforcement is unstoppable when it comes to important matters...... But now those inherent impressions are no longer counted, Lin Yingkong said seriously, "But the minister, you still let me in." When he was unprepared, he entered the sea of knowledge without hindrance, walked through his memory, and reaped a belly of joy and sadness, he was happy, but also uncomfortable to death.
Feng Rong's eyes became a little complicated, "There are some things that I can't control. ”
"Including this time?" Lin Yingkong said, "Trapped here, don't go out, you can't control it yourself, minister?"
Feng Rong was silent for a moment, and his tone was a little fluctuating when he spoke again, "You saw it all." ”
What he said was a declarative sentence, Lin Yingkong understood that he was asking about those complete or scattered memories, so he nodded, he had seen too many things, too carefully, and his whole heart was heavy.
Feng Rong lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "Then you should understand why I'm here." ”
"Why?" Lin Yingkong was slightly stunned, and then asked a little sadly: "Because you like me, you don't want to face me, minister? I don't understand, why?"
He asked two whys in a row, in the beam, Feng Rong's eyelashes shook, and his whole body sank down a little like a butterfly effect, he had been maintaining his usual demeanor as the head of the Spirit Law Enforcement Department since he met Lin Yingkong just now, but that posture cracked some cracks at this moment, and found the shadow of the past puppet - it turned out that everyone said that the biggest weakness of the cold and cold puppet minister turned out to be feelings.
"You're right, I've fallen in love with you," Feng Rong admitted very calmly, but it was this calmness that made people feel more strange, just like his somewhat strange tone at this time, "This makes me ...... Incorrigible. ”
"What do you mean hopeless?" Lin Ying thought, it must not be a romantic description such as "hopeless like" - there is even an indescribable fear hidden on his minister's face, he is so powerful in the eyes of outsiders, he is actually afraid of this emotion.
"There are always people who say that what you get will eventually be lost," Feng Rong looked at him, one in the beam and the other outside the beam, but it seemed like the whole world was separated, "but there are many things that I have never gotten." ”
He wasn't greedy, he wanted nothing more than a few things, but whatever he wanted, he never got it - whether it was his mother's forgiveness or the company of Baili Mengyan, he had learned not to expect that luxury.
“…… You can't do this," Lin Yingkong said aggrievedly, "You don't say anything, don't do anything," and even kept estranged from him and ignored him some time ago, "Why do you think you can't get it?" "Why can't you treat me like you did to your mother or Baili Mengyan, and then go for what you expect?"
Feng Rong looked at him quietly, a little softness flashed in his eyes, but mixed with three points of pain, "You are always like this......"
"Huh?" Lin Yingkong didn't understand what he meant.
"I said, you are always like this, stay by my side, accompany me, help me, support me when I make decisions, stand next to me when I am helpless, but you will not condone my depravity, when you are watched by your eyes, it seems that this person will always be the best and most cherished person in your eyes......" Feng Rong spoke very slowly, and his words were very clear, "Yingkong, what is there about me that makes you feel that it is worth it for you to do this?"
Lin Yingkong was silent at first, and then the atmosphere around him became gentle, he had conceived countless romantic scenes, but he never thought that he would explain his mind in this kind of place and situation, but he still said softly in the most determined words: "Minister, in fact, you are not nothing, you have friends, confidants, the Spiritual Security Bureau, the Field Service Team of the General Office, you and me...... You know, this is the sixth year I've liked you, Minister, and nothing makes me happier than your response—what's not worth it, I want to be good to you, can it be measured in value?"
Like Feng Rong, he broke every word and sent it out of his throat and tongue, lest the other party miss a word, but Feng Rong's expression was not the joy he wished, but became more and more complicated and unpredictable, and finally precipitated into a heavy condensation.
Lin Yingkong was anxious and happily waiting for the minister's response, but Feng Rong's expression infected him, and his emotions of excitement and uneasiness were slowly frozen, and he called out in confusion: "Minister?" Why...... Your expression is still so sad?
"Actually, I've guessed it somewhat," Feng Rong said after a long silence, "I've been thinking about this since I came back from Sansang Academy. ”
Lin Yingkong pursed his lips, he knew that his performance after that poisoning had revealed enough clues to attract the attention of the other party, "That's why you alienated me?"
"I said, some things are uncontrollable," Feng Rong said, his tone was flat, just like when he was usually in front of everyone, but it was clear that when he started to be alone with Lin Yingkong this year, the whole person would ease down a lot, but at this time, they all returned to their original form, "I can't control myself from getting close to you." ”
"Why?" Lin Yingkong couldn't help asking, his speed of speech was a little faster than just now, who kept his composure when he knew that the person who had always had a crush also liked him, not to mention that they had just expressed their hearts, so how did their relationship get to this point?
"I'm scared. Feng Rong slowly closed his eyelids, as if he was forcibly pressing some emotion into the depths of his eyes, making it difficult to see.
Lin Yingkong laughed, and did it, "You are a puppet, a puppet of the Spiritual Security Bureau, what are you afraid of?" After reading the memories that belong to the puppet, it is a bit hurtful to say this sentence again, Lin Yingkong didn't mean to say this, but he was wronged, he finally waited until the minister finally opened his mind, why did the minister say that he liked to say love so neatly when facing Baili Mengyan, and he refused without regrets, but he was so hesitant in his affairs?
Feng Rong really showed a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly covered it up again, so fast that he couldn't even catch up with Lin Yingkong to say "I'm sorry", "You're right, I'm a puppet...... But because I'm a puppet, I'm afraid. ”
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of that kind of life," Feng Rong's tone was cold and hard, and his expression was also stiff, "That kind of life, only relying on others to live." ”
Lin Yingkong seemed to have caught something crucial, and he said with some uneasiness: "Minister, do you mean ......?"
"Are you jealous of my feelings for Mengyan?" Feng Rong suddenly changed his words and asked: "When I still liked Mengyan, it seemed that he was the only one in my whole world, I became stronger for him, for him to participate in the selection of the Spiritual Security Bureau, for him to die for life, for him to become considerate, I can't wait to give him everything, so that he can live well and live well...... Yingkong, you have been by my side all these years, no one can see my life better than you, you say, you like me, you like me for six years, so at that time, have you ever been jealous of the feelings I gave to Mengyan?"
Lin Yingkong opened his mouth and paused for a long time before nodding with some difficulty, "Well, I've been jealous." ”
He is gentle and considerate, but he is not a saint, the most important thing is that Feng Rong is too good to Baili Mengyan - it is a kind of affection that even if the means cannot be disagreed, but it is enough to make people envious and jealous of the person who can get it, sometimes he is so jealous that he is about to go crazy, but he can only watch like this, watching the person he loves for others, and he is crazy.
Feng Rong said coldly: "But I don't want to continue like this." ”
Lin Yingkong was stunned for a moment, "...... What do you want to say, Minister?"
"I like you, you will indeed be a good partner, I have long given up that peaceful and peaceful life when I have chosen to rise to the top over the years, but I will feel very relieved to feel by your side......" Feng Rong said, red blood slowly filled his eyes, "Yingkong, you are a person worthy of loving with all your might, you deserve a very beautiful and pure feeling, and a person who has sincere and clean feelings for you...... But this person won't be me. ”
I'm tired and scared, and I don't want to take on a relationship anymore. ”
Lin Yingkong froze.
