You can see through all falsehoods, you can see all truths. but he could not admit his heart.

but he does not want to admit his heart.

- Preamble

"Why!"

The candlelight outlines Jane's face, which is a beautiful arc.

Without speaking, Bai Gu leaned against the table. The backlit face has an indescribable expression that hides in the dark, unwilling to be seen by Jane Gray.

"Why!"

Seeing that Bai Gu was silent, Jane Grey grabbed his sleeve with her hand and asked again.

Looking down at the floor, Bai Gu replied to her in a snort.

"It's so sudden...... Although I have this idea, your claim is too sudden. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to look at Gray's candlelit cheeks: "I don't even know where my life, my future is, how can I guarantee 'our future'?"

His heart was pounding, and he looked at Jane Gray in front of him. Her impulse would be described in China as "thinking about it as a play", but from her eyes, Bai Gu can see the emotion of "real and true".

"I don't care!" Jane Grey seemed to be iron-hearted, "I just want to marry you, give you one night to think about it, if you don't agree, I will never appear in front of you and Xuan Junyang again!"

With that, she turned and strode out the door, leaving behind the "pop" sound of a continuous chain of boots hitting the wooden staircase.

Sighing, Bai Gu turned around and looked at the swaying fire of the candlestick, not knowing what to say.

Slowly peeping in from the door, Xuan Junyang smiled: "Are you done talking?"

"Ah," nodded, but Bai Gu's expression was not at all on responding to Xuan Junyang, "Did you hear that?"

"Of course," Xuan Junyang said when he walked into Bai Gu's room, "she said it so loudly that even the old man next door could hear it clearly." ”

Sighing, Bai Gu looked at Xuan Junyang: "What do you think I should do?"

"It's your own business," waving his hand, Xuan Junyang refused Bai Gu's request for help, "I'm Xuan Junyang, not Bai Qingwen." Marriage matters, make your own decisions. ”

After speaking, Xuan Junyang turned his head back to the house, leaving Bai Lone standing alone at the table in silence.

At this moment, Jane Gray, who had returned home, was also leaning against her desk like Bai Gu, with a blush of annoyance on her face.

She didn't understand why Bai Gu was holding back. She obviously felt that Bai Gu hugged her so hard when she hugged her, and her eyes were so concerned when she looked at her. She could even see from Bai Gu's expression that he was unique—he just loved himself.

But if that's the case, why did he hold back?

......

"Are you a fool!!"

In the middle of the whirlwind, Jane Grey heard Bai Gu's almost angry voice.

The swirling scenery in front of her slowly calmed down, and the swirling green that appeared in front of Jane's eyes was the lush forest beneath her feet. Then she felt something more powerful than a rope around her waist.

"Ah......h It's just that the hug came rudely and forcefully, so it made her feel a little painful. But this was also a last resort, the rope around her waist had been broken, and if it hadn't been for Bai Gu jumping to hold her, Jane Grey would have returned to heaven at this time, with her grandfather and father as companions.

"Hold me!" Bai Gu continued to yell at Jane Gray. Jane's waist in the crook of his arm was very soft, and her weight must not be more than ninety pounds after Bai Gu's weighing, even so, he still had to be careful to clamp her, not to slack off in the slightest.

Submissively reaching out to wrap her arms around Bai Gu's neck, Jane Grey's expression was filled with gratitude and a hint of grievance. She had never seen Bai Gu show such anger.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xuan Junyang's voice came from the top of the cliff, "What are you doing!" The voice was empty and far away, and it could be seen that Bai Gu and Jian had already descended to a considerable depth.

Looking at Jane, who was hugging his neck and burying his head in his chest, Bai Gu thought about it.

Now that the depth is halfway through, it is too impractical to hold Jane and go back up. The most economical way to do this is to continue. As long as Jane Grey hangs obediently on herself, there will never be an accident.

"It's okay——!" Bai Gu responded to Xuan Junyang's inquiry, "Let's go on, and you can hang another piece of rope from Jane's steel pillar later!"

After speaking, Bai Gu said to Jane again, "Are you okay?"

Shaking her head, Jane didn't even dare to look up at Bai Gu: "It's okay, thank you." ”

"I'm going to carry you and go down," Bai Gu looked down at his feet, "You just hold me like this, it won't be long before you can finish it." ”

Jane nodded and said no more.

So he grabbed the rope with one hand and hugged Jane's waist with the other, and Bai Gu descended unfamiliarly and cautiously.

What was going on just now? Bai Gu asked himself.

How did I jump and hug Jane? Not to mention myself, even Xuan Junyang may not dare to jump in the situation just now.

I must be crazy.

Thinking like this, Bai Gu continued his work.

"White Lone," said Jane Gray in her arms, suddenly, "I'm sorry. ”

Bai Gu frowned, and he looked at Jane. He could feel that Jane didn't tremble as she spoke. She had no fear at all, not even the slightest fear. Even the fact that she was about to fall from a height of tens of meters, landed in a twisted position, and splashed her brain a few meters away did not terrify Jane. She was just simply guilty, she was just guilty of making Bai Gu angry.

"Aren't you afraid?" Bai Gu asked, "You almost died just now." ”

Jane Grey didn't answer him.

"I said it, Xuan Junyang and I will be sad. Bai Gu knew why she didn't have the slightest fear of death. The fear of death is nothing more than "unknown" and "worry" - as if two ropes stretched from the other side and the present world, tying the hands and tearing the dying person in opposite directions.

Jane Grey has no fear of the unknown, no necessary concerns, so she has no fear of death or what could lead to it. It may also just be because of a disorder in the hormone secretion in her body.

Jane Grey looked up at Bai Gu's face. The look of his frown was sad.

"At least I'll be sad. ”

Nodding, Jane quietly continued to press her face against Bai Gu's chest, showing a rare obedience.

In this way, Bai Gu successfully landed with Jane Gray to the lowest end of the cliff.

The feeling of your feet touching the ground is reassuring. Bai Gu let go of Jane and reached out to untie the rope around his waist.

"What shall we do later?" Looking up at the cliff, Jane asked Bai Gu.

"Climb up," Bai Gu said, smiling bitterly, "However, I will let Xuan Junyang drag you up." ”

Pouting, Jane said dissatisfiedly: "What you mean, my physical strength is not as good as yours!"

Bai Gu shook his head and turned his head to look at the forest.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

Their eyes turned to the forest. The two of them could clearly feel that from the depths of the forest, as if an unknown life was beckoning to them, sending out a warm invitation and a long, soft murmur.

"Is it so obvious that no one even notices it?" asked Jane Grey, feeling the lure coming from the depths of the forest.

"Maybe no one wants to live in this kind of jungle. As he spoke, Bai Gu looked vigilantly.

The two walked side by side into the depths of the forest.

......

Back in his room, Xuan Junyang sat on the sofa.

Thinking of the quarrel between Jane Grey and Bai Gu just now, he smiled helplessly. The two men were like two little children, one in hot pursuit, the other silent.

Maybe Bai Gu's ending is the same as his name, and he may end up alone. Thinking like this, Xuan Junyang leaned his head on the back of the sofa and looked up at the ceiling. He just made a reasonable judgment, and he never meant to curse Bai Gu. Bai Gu is a man who is unwilling to confide his thoughts, with his appearance, his demeanor, and his knowledge, there will never be fewer women who take the initiative to get close to him, but Bai Gu does not like to have intimate contact with people, nor is he willing to open his heart to others, and over time, women leave him.

Suddenly, Xuan Junyang heard a slight moan from the room, deep and soothing, like an invitation.

So he sat up and looked at the desk facing the couch.

On the desk was something that Bai Gu and Jane had taken out of the Rift Cliff and out of the dense forest—it was just a small and clumsy sculpture, both in terms of material and technique, like the work of a child. When it was first taken out by Bai Gu, the sculpture was still covered with moss and dirt, but now it has taken on a bit after some scrubbing. When his face became clear, Xuan Junyang felt that it was the product of that kind of mischief.

Although it confirms the Gray family's grotesque "Commentary on the Book of Fairy Tales", it still does not prove that the sculpture fits perfectly with what is recorded in the broken book.

However, according to Bai Gu and Jane, the sculpture did have life-like breaths and fluctuations in the eyes of the two of them, and guided them to find this almost impossible place in the dense forest.

Pouting, Xuan Junyang looked at the sculpture with disdain. The base of the cylinder carved out of what appeared to be a humanoid creature with wings protecting its ribs, and its hands cowering under its wings. What annoyed Xuan Junyang the most was its face - only eyes, no other organs, because of the inferior carving technique, those eyes looked big and staring at Xuan Junyang blankly. In the room where there were no people and the lights were swaying, the expressionless gaze couldn't help but give Xuan Junyang a cold shiver.

Xuan Junyang hated the feeling of fear. He was a historian, not a theologian, and there was no need to be afraid. Thinking like this, Xuan Junyang stood up and walked over to the statue.

The damn sculpture seems to make people feel like those eyes are looking at themselves no matter what angle you look at it. Xuan Junyang's mind still echoed with a melodious whisper that might not exist in space, and he leaned his face close to the statue and carefully observed the lines on it.

I still didn't notice any clues.

So Xuan Junyang whispered the words on the ancient translation.

"I once had the power, from outside the sky, and fell into the sea of crowns......"

Bai Gu crouched on the desk, writing quickly and simply. He wanted to rely on this way to clear his cluttered thoughts. Even though he knows most of the philosophical concepts in his chest, when he really reaches his own situation, his brain has become the ring of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign philosophers.

"I thought that escaping my father's arrangement was already a freedom for me. After coming to London, I realized that there is no freedom in firewood, rice, oil and salt, life and life, learning and research, birth, old age, sickness and death. Born without freedom, the so-called inner freedom is nothing but the anesthesia of self-deception. ”

Writing hard, Bai Gu's paper is mixed with Chinese and English, and the handwriting is scribbled quickly. It's not a diary, it's just something that's going to be thrown into a paper basket when you're done.

"I don't know how to respond to Jane's expectations, because I don't expect much from my own life, but sometimes I think of spending ...... with such a woman."

Before he finished writing, a very dull and violent "bang" suddenly came from Xuan Junyang's room next door, and Xuan Junyang definitely fell to the ground.

"Junyang!" stopped writing, and Bai Gu shouted outside the door.

No response.

"Xuan Junyang?"

Still no response.

"What are you doing?" Dropping the pen, Bai Gu quickly got up.

His heart was already anxious.
