Chapter Seventy-Four: Betrayal

Previous Chapter

Eat, sleep, chatter full of intrigue, then eat and sleep again. If such a day was given to Gu Lian, who was in high school, she would probably kneel down and thank God.

Well, of course, it would be better if there was a quilt.

But the current situation is like slowly frying on an iron plate over a low heat, she was boiled over and over again, and every inch of skin and flesh was corroded, she felt unbearable pain, looked down at her body, and thought, it turned out to be ......

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyelashes twitched, and then she let out a vague chuckle.

- It was rotten from within.

"What are you laughing at?" Her chin was clenched up, and a handsome face bent down at her, with an elegant smile on her lips, but the familiar fire flashed in her dark eyes, scorching and burning. He said slowly, word by word, "You pretended to be pitiful and lured me over, what are you doing now?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Long time no see. Gu Lian was forced to raise her head, in terrible pain, but her eyes were still bent, and she smiled as if she couldn't feel pain.

Bai Hengyuan looked at her face carefully, her eyes slashed her facial features like a burning knife, she felt that her face hurt, but she still smiled to herself. He laughed too, laughing kindly, and slowly spoke, every word seemed to be bitten between his teeth: "It's been a long time, so long that I can't recognize you." Maybe you can explain to me when you became a goddamn anomaly? ”

The force on her chin became tighter and tighter, Gu Lian frowned, and finally whispered, "It hurts." ”

Bai Heng let go of her abruptly, and then looked down at his hand as if he had reacted, closed his eyes, his chest was still depressed, watching her gradually rise to the blue chin, but he couldn't do anything. He smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his back to her, and there was an unspeakable gloom in his voice: "Come with me and make it clear, your life is not mine alone." ”

Gu Lian's mind came to the image of Chen Zhi holding a sword against her, like a ruthless god, salvation and destruction were all in the palm of his hand. She rubbed her chin and stood up, chuckling lowly, repeating, "Yes, my life is not mine, I already knew." ”

Bai Hengyuan paused, and didn't look back after all.

I didn't know that Gu Lian behind him seemed to laugh at himself and resigned himself to his fate.

You see, Gu Lian, in the end, you can only be firmly attached to him, like a pathetic parasite.

Every word and deed is scheming, and even then it is just to grab a man's attention, and even she looks down on herself. It's just a sad joke to get the ability so hard to support your unrealistic but brilliant dreams, but the flowers and water will eventually come to naught.

God peeled off her important things layer by layer, and tore her feelings apart with a knife in her hand, thinking that losing her smile was the end, but now she knows that she can't cry to call despair.

Nothing is a coincidence today. Visen would come looking for her, she had expected it, but her aggressive performance, although it was a blow to the white stone, the most important target was the person behind the monitor. After not seeing them for a few days, Gu Lian knew that this must be her identity as an alien. Holy water is something that most people don't prepare to give to an adult to drink, and even if she does, if she has a high fever in a place like the gladiatorial arena, she won't survive at this time, so the answer is obvious - in the expedition base, she quietly got the holy water, and has hidden it to this day.

If you think about it a little more, the hands and feet she has done in the expedition base will also be unobstructed, and with their shrewdness, they can find out her mind by following the map, and this will explain why they have not appeared so far.

They must have been observing themselves, with an unfamiliar look.

Then she will give an answer and tell them what Gu Lian is like now.

From one cage to another, how can she be willing, no matter what, she has to fight, so that she can live up to it and be worthy of it......

What is worth it?

She was at a loss again.

Under the quiet gaze of everyone, Gu Lian followed Bai Hengyuan, crossed the rope bridge connecting the car and the car, and walked to the command room on the central car.

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Lian couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she saw the scene in front of her. The surveillance screen was opened, and the picture in her car was magnified so greatly, and her melancholy face was held in another large window. Looking at it, the temperature on her face gradually increased.

…… It's one thing to be very engaged and realistic, but it's another thing to be studied so carefully and watch it with relish.

Is there a !! of shame

Fan Ziling was holding an unlit cigarette over there, looking over with his legs crossed, with a handsome face, broad shoulders, and narrow eyes with banter and a faint look, he raised his hand to say hello idly, and his gestures were indescribably frivolous: "Yo, the acting skills are good." ”

Gu Lian closed her eyes and silently recited a hundred times to reunite after a long absence, but she still couldn't hold back, and said very patiently and politely: "Turn off the screen, right?" ”

"But I haven't appreciated it enough." Fan Ziling looked sideways at the screen, his slender hand lightly touched the white side face of the melancholy-looking girl above, and smiled softly.

Gu Lian watched him gently touch his cheek on the screen, as if there was a slightly rough hand on his face, which seemed to be enthusiastic but was actually indifferent, and suddenly felt creepy and shuddered.

Zheng Yihao, who was on the side, looked at the little girl's stiff expression, was dissatisfied, coughed lightly, interrupted Fan Ziling's interesting teasing, and smiled gently: "Come here." ”

The simple three words, with his usual peace and simplicity, revealed a bit of alienation and politeness, like a gentle push of the spring breeze, pushing a small boat thousands of miles away from the green mountains. Gu Lian didn't know what it was like, so she let out a smile and nodded.

Bai Hengyuan didn't care about her since he came in, he picked a seat by himself, leaned back, supported his chin with one hand, and didn't look at her, just distracted. The young man with a beautiful face looked careless, his obsidian-like eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions, his lips were the usual Sven smile, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were filled with the unique sharpness of this age because of his well-defined facial features, which was the confidence that only those who were favored could have.

Gu Lian quietly withdrew her gaze. Anyone in this world can live without it, she already knew it.

The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably strange, although the conversation went back and forth, there was a sense of stalemate, and as the words decreased, the cold air and oppressive force emanating from Bai Hengyuan's body became more and more obvious, Gu Lian finally couldn't say any more, and stopped, and the room was quiet.

Fan Ziling crossed his hands in front of him, lying lazily, looking away, as if he didn't pay attention to them. The slightly long black hair fell in front of his eyes, covering the look in the handsome man's eyes, but the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, and he looked like a smile with the malice and interest of a naughty child.

She took a light breath, revealing an expression as if she had made up her mind, and then she raised her headβ€”the cold eyes that were cast at Bai Hengyuan. A cold smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he was mocking her Gu left and right about him.

But Gu Lian had already understood that he should not only look at his smile, but also look at his eyes, which was where his real emotions dwelled. At this time, there was a fire in those bright black eyes, like anger, and like trying to forbear.

It's good to be able to mobilize his emotions.

Quietly as if the air was all dead, Gu Lian raised her chin slightly, and forcefully threw out a sentence that had been prepared for a long time: "Qing, let me be used by you." ”

The silence was like a crack, torn to shreds with a click. Zheng Yihao raised his head in shock, and at this moment, Gu Lian released the ability that had been constricted, and the coercion spread, and for a moment the picture on the screen was flawed, beeping.

Fan Ziling's eyes froze, and the slender fingers that were clasping each other pressed slightly, and then he pressed the killing intent in his heart. He raised his head, his gaze pierced through the pitch-black hair, and for the first time he looked at Gu Lian with a solemn and slightly cold gaze. As early as when she entered the convoy, he felt a faint ability fluctuation in the car, but because of the high level of the abilities of the two people next to her, she overwhelmed her deliberately restrained ability......

Bai Heng looked at her from afar. She stood in the middle, her back straight, her expression solemn, her soft white face was still a little dirty, and her hair was messy, but her expression no longer had the soft smile and bright vitality that he was familiar with, and her bright black eyes were clear and firm, as if for the first time the dust on the jade was wiped away, revealing its true face.

He couldn't figure out for a moment whether she had changed, or if he had been deceived by her all along.

But in any case, her expression and demeanor mean one thingβ€”she is not asking for something as a "woman", but speaking as a "scholar" and a "stranger". She is confessing, and she is also recommending herself, and she has integrated many words that need to be explained into this sentence.

I have never truly considered myself a vassal of you.

If I'm just a pet, it's betrayal to hide it.

But I'm not.

I am a stranger, but also a person, I have my choice and self-esteem, why should I apologize for my self-preservation?

Why!

At this moment, Gu Lian felt indescribably happy in her heart, and the unwillingness to endure for a long time was said like this, she couldn't tell whether she was using a trick or telling the truth, but she knew clearly that the moment she decided to get the holy water, or even earlier, at the moment when she accepted Bai Hengyuan's embrace that night, she wanted to stand in front of them, not to be soft and flattering, not to grovel, just to hold her self-esteem and say her thoughts.

"Gu Lian, you seem to have forgotten something." After Bai Hengyuan was silent for a moment, a smile slowly appeared on his lips, his eyes were like a cold god looking at the mortal who was not worth mentioning, with pity and contempt, "You...... Why do you want to make conditions with us? ”

Even if that dignity and glory are fleeting, it is easier to wither than fireworks.

A huge coercion fell with his voice like a tidal wave, like a flood extinguishing a spark, and her supernatural coercion was oppressed to a small extent, almost unsteady, staggering and taking three steps backwards before barely standing firmly.

"I admit that you have some talent, and you can have such abilities in such a short period of time, which is a character." Bai Hengyuan said slowly and methodically, sneering, "I also admit that you are a little scheming, you can take advantage of the chaos to get what you want, and hide me from ......" When he said this, his expression became more and more cold, and his fingers holding the armrests were slightly forced, as if he was enduring something, and after a pause, he still said in disgust, "I should have known that Yan Yuzhen would not teach you anything good." ”

Gu Lian raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently.

He always did.

Even when they were closest, he still made it clear to her that he was in control, and the higher he was, the more she wanted to escape. With him, she never felt safe, only breathless emotions, whether happy or angry.

It wasn't that she couldn't sense his concern, but it would be ridiculous if his concern was based on disregard for her will.

After all, people are empathetic creatures, and they can care about cats, dogs, and trees, let alone people.
