Chapter 58: The Bondage of Oaths
Opening her eyes and dangling at the ceiling for a while, Gu Lian sat up abruptly and looked left and right. She was lying on the couch, covered with a dark brown cloak, the soft texture of which dizzed her body temperature, and she thought she had slept for a while. She could see at a glance that this room was about the same structure as the room on the twelfth floor, with a hall on the outside and a bedroom on the inside, but the furnishings on the inside were different.
Xu is dark, this room seems lonely and lonely, looking sideways, outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window is the night of King's Landing, dusk on the edge of heaven and earth dying struggle, the long dragon swinging its tail, vaguely outlining the desolate back of the barren hills.
Somehow she couldn't take her eyes off the bleak and struggling landscape, she shifted her body to rest her head on her knees, tilted her head, and watched as the darkness gradually infected, squeezing the last space of light.
Finally, like a candle extinguished, the last ray of light was blown out.
Finally, outside the window was a boundless, hopeless darkness.
There was a crisp sound of a cup falling on the small table on the side, Gu Lian was awakened, and when she turned her head to see the person clearly, she was frightened again.
"Why don't you turn on the lights when you wake up?"
After Chen Zhi bent down and put down the carafe containing hot water and two glasses, he stood up straight, lowered his head and lowered his rolled up cuffs.
"Huh? Alas? Chen Chen Chen Chen Zhi?! ”
Gu Lian was instantly messy, and tried to think about it for a long time, but she didn't think about how she came to his room.
"You fell asleep in front of my door, and you caught a cold when you slept there, so I put you on the couch." Chen Zhi seemed to know what she was thinking, and said lightly without raising his head.
"Ahh I'm sorry......" Gu Lian looked at the cloak again, "Is this yours?" Thank you very much. ”
Chen Zhi did not answer. Only two glasses of water were poured, one was placed on the table, and the other was drunk by himself. Confused, she scratched at her messy hair and folded her cloak aside, and he glanced at her, and she sat up straight. Took the cup and drank it.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yuehua sprinkled a small halo from the floor-to-ceiling glass window, dragging the man's cold and tall figure. Gu Lian sat there holding the warm cup. The restlessness eased slightly.
She thought she was already in the house...... Delusion? Ahhhh......h
She coughed lightly, sat down with her cup tight, and said solemnly, "I'm causing you trouble." I'm really embarrassed. ”
There was silence.
Isn't it super - angry? Gu Lian glanced at him secretly. Only faintly saw his cold and handsome side face in the dark, and his expression was unpredictable. She paused, got up, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, that ...... I'll take my leave. ”
Still didn't speak.
Very good, walk slowly and don't make a sound...... Gu Lian carefully put down the cup, turned around and walked away quietly. Maybe it's dark. The room was dark, and the unlit large hall relied only on the clear light to illuminate a small wooden floor in front of the window. The silence of the handsome man with a blurred face was like substance, and she could feel the pressure of a needle in every inch of her skin.
Until she walked through the hall and came to the corridor, Chen Zhi didn't open her mouth. Just when she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the light in the corridor suddenly turned on, and Chen Zhi stood behind her and said, "Be careful of slippery feet." ”
Gu Lian snorted and squatted at the door looking for shoes.
The white sneakers were picked up on the side of the road, and during this time, she often saw blood and rolled in the mud, in fact, she was very reluctant to wear these shoes.
When will it be replaced.
She thought about it, remembering that she was also a little rich now, and she couldn't help but bend her eyes.
A cold and calm voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing people to sound a sharp snow-white blade that cut through the viscous darkness.
"What have you been doing lately?"
Gu Lian's body stiffened, and she was cold for a while, and she didn't dare to look back.
Is this a simple greeting, or is it ......
"Mission Center, Hospital, Marketplace, and then Mission Center...... Luo Xi's anti-tracking ability is really good, where did he take you after that, and who did you meet? ”
Chen Zhi's faint voice was like a cold ice cube sticking to her back, making Gu Lian tremble. She turned her head slowly, slowly, and the moment she saw the calm face in the corridor light, she already knew that her defense would not be of any use - this man had already seen through what she had done.
The feeling was so strong that she easily unloaded her fighting spirit to resist, hung her shoulders, bit her lip and did not speak.
Chen Zhi walked over slowly, and in the quiet room, the footsteps were so clear that there was a faint echo. Gu Lian felt that his steps were on her heartbeat, and she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders, and then felt too timid, took a deep breath, and straightened her shoulders.
"Are you ......" Chen Zhi quietly walked to her side, bent down, gently lifted her chin, and met her with dark and deep eyes, telling her that she had nowhere to escape, and said coldly, "Do you want to go again?" ”
Again......?
Gu Lian was stunned, the cold loneliness in her eyes was so deep that she subconsciously turned her head and tried to shrink back: "Isn't it ......" There was a sudden pain in her chin, she frowned, and said in pain, "Chen Zhi? ”
Chen Zhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, let go suddenly, and said forbearantly: "I'm sorry." ”
Without waiting for her to react, he stood up straight, took two steps back, turned his back to Gu Lian, and didn't speak for a while. Gu Lian rubbed her chin, looked at his back, and thought of excuses in her mind. Although she didn't know what his abnormality was for, she knew that the hatred that appeared in his incomprehensible eyes like an abyss was real.
It's not time to think about why, it's time to think about what to do.
The excuse she had thought of before was no longer applicable, and in order to stall for time and break the silence, she asked, "Am I playing the role I should have?" ”
Chen Zhi was silent for a long time, and when he looked at her again, he was as unpredictable as usual, and he knew it in just one sentence: "What do you know?" ”
"Just guessing." Gu Lian clenched her fists, let her expression relax, and said calmly: "None of you told me what to do, so I had to verify it myself." Go to the mission center and the market, just to find answers. As for the Luo sacrifice......"
She paused, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and said, "He wants to know where we come from, I just said I don't know, I met on the road, and I didn't reveal your identity, is this okay?" ”
"My question is, what are you doing?" Chen Zhi was a few meters away from her and said with a cold expression.
Gu Lian bit her lip, a little tired of his arrogance, and said softly: "In our oath, did you mention that you can't go on your own?" ”
Chen Zhi glanced at her, looked away again, and said lightly: "I'm just reminding you that if you break your oath, you will realize that life is better than death." ”
Gu Lian held back her anger and smiled reluctantly: "I know." ”
She was in no mood to continue, so she put on her shoes, took her things, and nodded her head to say goodbye hastily: "Goodbye." ”
The door opened and closed, and he was the only one in the room.
He hung his head, looked at his palm, and smiled silently at the corners of his lips.
He is calm, he is wise, and he is as noble and powerful as a god in the eyes of outsiders, but no one knows that he will be lonely.
No one knows the loneliness of shackling others with oaths better than him, but if there is no oath, there will be nothing in his hands. (To be continued.) )
