chapter43
The surroundings were plunged into darkness, and Ning Yufei couldn't see anything, but just that glimpse, his heart was already beating wildly to the point that he was about to rush out of his throat.
How could that hard cloister collapse again? Without warning, people don't even react at all!
Except for the change of the person who protected him, all the qiΔ coincided with that time.
Even...... There was also the noise, the sound of search and rescue teams, and the crying crowd...... There was a commotion...... It's like the end of the world.
There were too many incredible births that were born suddenly, and Ning Yufei was completely overwhelmed and couldn't figure it out at all, but soon he realized a fatal problem.
At that time, Xie Jing was able to survive because of the strong defense function of any muscle.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have any muscles!
Ning Yu came back to his senses suddenly, and the panic in his heart was like a bone-eating toxin injected into the bloodstream, flowing all over his body, and even the nerve endings were trembling violently.
The prince will die, will die here!
Just now they were still eating, just now they were still frolicking, just now they were still tasting delicious food, but at this moment, disaster fell from the sky!
Will it die? Will Shen Lingyu die? Countless images flashed in Ning Yufei's mind, the timid childhood playmate, the tall and handsome imperial prince, the man who was a gentleman and elegant in front of people, but would be coquettish to him in the future, and give all his feelings to him without reservation......
Uncontrollable, Ning Yufei's eyes turned red, and his voice trembled: "You, are you okay?" β
He was afraid of smelling blood, afraid of hearing the prince's weak voice, but even more afraid - there was no response.
Under normal circumstances, I would never have survived.
How is it possible for the human body to withstand such an impact?
Ning Yufei looked at it with wide eyes, but he could only see a pitch black, vain like an empty void, and he couldn't find the slightest breath of life.
Every minute and second is infinitely magnified, and it is so long that it seems to stand still.
Until the prince's voice sounded: "Are you afraid? β
Ning Yufei was stunned.
The prince's voice sounded very normal, there was no weakness, no weakness, there was not even the slightest abnormality, as if they were in the breezy back garden, enjoying flowers and tea, and chatting about a few inconsequential things.
Can...... How can it be?
How can there be nothing wrong with such a situation?
Ning Yufei hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Why did the cloister collapse? Brother Ling Yu, how are you? Are you okay? β
He asked one after another, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said something else: "At that time...... That's what you asked Xie Jing too? β
Ning Yufei was stunned.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered: "Not only that, he is so good at acting, so capable of pretending, and you care about him so much, if something like this happens, you must cry fiercely, and you will even be so worried that you can't wait to bear it for him." β
What was he thinking in this situation?
Ning Yufei was really angry, he was angry that Shen Lingyu was still concerned about these in this situation, is this more important than life?
"Say no more!" His voice cooled down, trying to use the communicator to contact the outside, no matter what, he had to go out first, he didn't know Shen Lingyu's situation, but he definitely couldn't last long.
Unfortunately, there was no signal from the communicator.
Ning Yufei's heart was anxious, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still sneering: "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, if he is injured, you cry like the sky is falling, and you have been with him for three whole days......"
Ning Yufei couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Why is it so quiet?" What about the attendants outside? Why haven't they come to the rescue yet! β
He was in a hurry to die, he was really afraid that Shen Lingyu would die here, but he didn't dare to panic and couldn't panic, he had to calm down, calm down, think about how to escape, think about how to let the prince live!
But his calm posture completely angered Shen Lingyu.
The same scene, the same encounter, the same dedication, why did the change of person change?
It's Xie Jing, he's going to collapse like the end of the world.
If it was him, he could face it so calmly!
Shen Lingyu only felt that the qi and blood in his body were surging, and he wanted to use a gentler method to expose this qiΔ, but now he didn't want to, no matter what, he wanted Ning Yufei to take a look and see what a hypocritical and cunning man he fell in love with!
"Xie Jing is a liar, an out-and-out liar, if you are with him, you will only be toyed with and applauded, how many times I say that you don't believe it, since this is the case, just see for yourself!"
He said this call, but Ning Yufei couldn't understand what was going on at all.
Then, a scene that surprised him even more incomprehensibly was born.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a qiΔ, but it was as if he hadn't seen anything.
The collapsed corridor was extremely loud and shocking, and the dust that was raised around it plunged the entire space into extreme chaos.
But such a terrible sight, such a catastrophic scene, penetrated his body and did not hurt him in the slightest.
The picture is extremely terrifying, the sound is extremely realistic, and his heart is about to jump out, but ...... It's okay, nothing.
Not to mention dead, not even a little pain.
Ning Yufei was completely stunned.
At this time, Shen Ling Yusen's cold voice sounded in his ears: "See, what a sophisticated virtual imaging technology, it is also the Marquis Mansion of Daxie that has the ability to engage in such a 'real' disaster scene." β
Shen Lingyu was saying this, but Ning Yufei seemed to have a feeling that he didn't understand at all.
But the prince would not stop like this, and he did not know what he had done, and this terrible scene began to retreat sharply like a movie that had been pressed the back button, and then ...... Playback.
"How many means does Xie Jing have? In order to rekindle your old love for him, you don't hesitate to spend money to make such a 'bitter meat plan', but it's really useful, it reminds you of what happened when you first met, right? β
"If you suffer a little skin injury, you will be asked to take care of him for three whole days, and you will also evoke so many old feelings, and earn a 'favor' that will save you desperately, Xie Jing is really killing three birds with one stone, and there is no last resort!"
Shen Lingyu said sentence by sentence, and as the 'disaster' came to an abrupt end, the surroundings lit up: "Xiaofei, the Xie Jing you know is just the Xie Jing he wants you to see, his scheming, his city, his hypocrisy......"
He didn't finish his sentence but paused suddenly.
Because the surroundings were all lit up, he finally saw Ning Yufei clearly.
The handsome young man in front of him was far from what he imagined, and the expression on his face was not indifference, not calm, or even shock after knowing the truth.
His eyes were red, dense tears flowed all over his white cheeks, his light-colored lips trembled slightly, and his dark eyes were full of ...... Glad.
Yes, it's a blessing, a blessing that the disaster didn't happen, a blessing that everything is fake, a blessing that none of them were injured.
Shen Lingyu stood stunned, and the next moment, Ning Yufei hugged him tightly, and the calm in his voice was gone, leaving only a burst of fear: "Scared me to death...... Scared the hell out of me, it's great that you're okay, you're okay, really, really good. β
Shen Lingyu didn't move, his whole body stiffened, Ning Yufei was obviously in his arms, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, as if it was a beautiful dream, as long as he moved, the dream was about to wake up.
β¦β¦ How desperate are you when you wake up?
However, Ning Yufei's voice really rang in his ears: "Don't do this in the future, don't make such jokes, it's too scary, I really thought you were smashed by that corridor, I thought you were ......"
His words were incoherent, his panic and nervousness, like a stream of warm spring water, penetrating the flesh and skin, pouring straight into the blood, instantly making the cold body all hot, Shen Lingyu stretched out his hand, and finally hugged Ning Yufei hard.
"I'm sorry." He said as he put his arm around the neck.
Ning Yufei was really frightened, and it took more than half a day to barely recover.
He's just a little less knowledgeable, but he's not stupid, and he knows what's going on when he thinks about it.
It's just that...... I can't comment on that.
However, it's not a bad thing after all, since it's just a virtual image, then no one is hurt, the prince is fine, Xie Jing is fine, many people are fine, a bluff disaster, although it is quite challenging to the heart, but it is better than really happening.
At this point, Ning Yufei also knew why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on bringing him to the mecha exhibition.
Probably because he knew about it from some source, and then wanted to expose it so that he could see it clearly, so he tried his best to make this scene reappear.
After Ning Yufei figured it out, the feeling in his heart was also a mess.
The prince's experience since he was a child taught him to be extremely insecure, and now Ning Yufei's 'infidelity' towards his feelings has greatly aggravated the uneasiness in his heart, making him more and more sensitive, and desperately trying to pull Xie Jing out of him.
Then, there is today's thing.
After Ning Yufei calmed down, Shen Lingyu had already recovered to his original state, he didn't mention Xie Jing at all, and he was in such a good mood that he desperately smashed the blind 'Imperial Treasure Smile' outward the whole time, and the people who were shaking couldn't open their eyes.
He was happy, and when he wanted to coax people, it was really impossible for anyone to resist.
Laughing to death, the words he said were sweet, intimate and careful, and he loved to be coquettish, Ning Yufei was quite concerned, but he left it behind after a while.
Back at the Earl's Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed for dinner again, he said a few good words to Yang Ruoyun, Yang Ruoyun went to the kitchen excitedly, let alone cooking, let her sell Proxima Centauri's shop and go to Chenxing Tower to order food, she was willing to do it!
It wasn't until more than nine o'clock in the evening that Shen Lingyu reluctantly left the Earl's Palace.
Ning Yu flew out to see him off, he pulled him into the shadows, kissed him on the lips several times, and seeing that he was about to come again, Ning Yufei hurriedly interrupted him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not annoyed, but hugged him into his arms very comfortably, and sighed: "Xiaofei, I am so happy today." β
Ning Yufei was also quite happy, but the 'cloister collapse' incident really caused him a psychological shadow, and he was afraid when he thought about it, even if he knew that it was fake, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Hurry back, if you come out for a day, I'm afraid everything will be piled up."
"It's okay, I'm too busy."
Ning Yufei couldn't cry or laugh: "It's not early, I should go to sleep." β
Shen Lingyu pestered him and hugged him for a long time, and knew that he should go back, and finally asked for a kiss before leaving satisfied.
Seeing off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Ning Yufei still had a little smile on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and wanted to go home, but with a glimpse of his eyes, he saw the flying machine hidden in the dark and almost integrated with the night.
Suddenly, Ning Yufei had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the door of the aircraft opened, and a man in a silver-gray house uniform walked down, his body was slender and elegant, even in the dark night, his handsome features still overwhelmed the brilliance of the moon, becoming the most dazzling existence.
Ning Yufei looked at him, didn't move forward or retreat, just stood so steadily, watching quietly.
Xie Jing definitely didn't just come, but because he saw Shen Lingyu, he hid his tracks, and he didn't appear until the prince left.
In the gentle night, the voice of the speaker seemed to be more soothing and elegant than the summer breeze: "Xiao Yu." β
He whispered his name, but Ning Yufei suddenly felt a huge sense of exhaustion......
'You can never see through him, you never know what he's thinking, and he can easily play you with applause......
It's not that he didn't hear what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, but he didn't want to think about it at the time, but now his mind is rushing up, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that these words are all right, and there is no controversy.
So he didn't really want to see Xie Jing now.
Ning Yufei's relationship before and after the change, how could Xie Jing not notice it?
Just now, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth because of Shen Lingyu, but now his face sank because he saw him.
Ning Yufei is not good at hiding his feelings, and even if he is good at it, he will not be able to hide it from him.
Xie Jing's eyes drooped slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, of course, he would not mention what happened just now, he only said softly: "I just came back from the House, and I happened to pass by the Earl's Court, thinking that I might be able to meet you......" As he spoke, he chuckled, "It's just that I didn't expect to be so lucky." β
Saying such gentle words in such a beautiful voice, I am afraid that the great anger of any person will disappear.
Ning Yufei was very immune, but he was also a little affected, he thought about it and said, "It's so late, senior, go back and rest." β
There was a hint of loss in Xie Jing's peach blossom eyes, but soon he said softly: "Okay, you can rest early." β
Ning Yufei didn't dare to look up at him, so he could only turn around and want to leave first.
It's just that as soon as he took a step, Xie Jing asked abruptly: "Will you come to tomorrow's party?" β
He asked this carefully, his gorgeous voice was low, and it was slight, but it was full of lethality, and the hearts of the people who hit him trembled violently.
Ning Yufei then remembered that he had agreed to attend a private party before the eldest princess's birthday banquet.
If you say yes, why don't you go? He didn't look back, only muffled, "Yes." β
In his short two words, Xie Jing even relaxed his voice: "See you tomorrow." β
Ning Yufei sighed silently, finally turned around, looked at him and said, "See you tomorrow." β
Xie Jing looked back at him, a pair of charming eyes reflected the whole of him, and the moving color seemed to brew into the stars, and these countless stars were just to entangle the only person in his eyes.
Ning Yufei's heart skipped half a beat, and he hurriedly turned his head and said, "Good night." "Hurried back to the Earl's Court.
Xie Jing watched him leave until his figure disappeared, and he stood in the cool breeze of late summer for a while before turning back into the flying machine.
As soon as he sat down, he raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Check the whereabouts of the prince today." β
About an hour later, Xie Jing looked at the information on the screen, and the whole person was as cold as an ice sculpture, and the cold air revealed wished that the entire space was completely frozen.
***
Ning Yufei slept for a while, and got up early the next morning, he went to the base to report first, and met Li Dalei, Li Dalei pulled him to talk, Ning Yufei inquired about the whereabouts of the marshal, Li Dalei scratched his short and standing hair and said: "I haven't looked at it for many days, it seems to have been in the central area." β
Ning Yufei responded and asked again, "What about Lieutenant General An Qing?" β
Li Dalei said: "I'm not here, Lieutenant General Jing Xing also went out yesterday." β
Ning Yufei frowned, he had a faint premonition, it seemed that something was going to happen, but this feeling was too vague, and he got little information, so he couldn't make an accurate judgment.
But he trusts his instincts, because this thing is sometimes more reliable than his brain......
Li Dalei was bored in the base these days, and when he saw that Ning Yufei was still not leaving, he asked, "Do you want to go to the martial arts training ground?" β
Last time, Ning Yufei said that he wanted him to practice with him more, and he still remembered it.
Moreover, Lord Marshal also instructed that Ning Yufei had been in poor health recently, so let him accompany him more to move his muscles and bones.
Li Dalei has followed Ning Yufei from birth to death so many times, so he naturally understands Ning Yufei's skills, although Ning Yufei is not good at hand-to-hand combat, but after years of experience, he has a high degree of dexterity and agility, and he will not be so weak that Cheng DΓΉ who was put down by Li Dalei lightly, and even if he was careful, he could put Li Dalei down.
Li Dalei is coarse but careful, and he has always cared about the people he cares about. He was a little worried about Ning Yufei, so he mentioned this.
But Ning Yufei will go to the Earl's Mansion in a while, where would he dare to accompany him to the martial arts training ground.
When I turned around and was beaten so much that I couldn't get up, I was embarrassed and labored, and I went to someone's birthday party tiredly, what did it look like?
So Ning Yufei pushed it after two or three sentences: "In a few days, I will have something to do in a while." β
Of course, Li Dalei will not force him: "Come to me when you are idle, you will regress if you don't practice." β
Ning Yufei responded with his mouth, but complained in his heart: How can he have any skills? Going to the martial arts training ground is not a one-sided beating! I also practice my skills, which is basically to practice anti-beating strength!
Leaving the base, Ning Yufei waited for a long time, and went to the Marquis Mansion of Daxie with the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.
Thinking of seeing Xie Jing soon, he couldn't help but resound what happened yesterday and the words of the prince.
People have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and they have an urge to avoid unknown things that they can't see through and can't understand, of course, some people may be curious, but obviously Ning Yufei's character is definitely not the latter.
Just agreeing is agreeing, and escaping is not something he will do.
Bravely entered the Marquis Mansion of Daxie, but he didn't see Shen Tianxun, but Xie Jing came out first.
"Mother won't be back until later, let's do it first, I have someone prepare refreshments, try some?"
As soon as Ning Yufei heard that Shen Tianxun was not there, the thought that came to him was: I knew that it would be later!
But he couldn't leave when he came, so he could only respond: "It's troublesome, senior." β
Xie Jing smiled: "What are you polite to me?" β
Xie Jing seemed to have put all his work on hold today, and quite leisurely set up tea and snacks in the pavilion in the garden of the Marquis's Mansion, and accompanied Ning Yufei to enjoy the flowers with tea.
Interstellar exploration has spawned countless plants that Ning Yufei didn't know at all, and the collection in the Marquis's Mansion is even more precious and rare and very beautiful flowers.
Ning Yufei didn't know much about this, but Xie Jing had always been caring, knowledgeable, and spoke eloquently in that beautiful voice, lined with the breeze and beautiful scenery, which really made the listeners feel comfortable to the point of full enjoyment.
It's just that Ning Yufei is still a little absent-minded, and his interest is not so high.
Xie Jing's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally sighed lightly and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" β
When he asked, Ning Yufei was excited, and hurriedly said, "No!" β
The quicker he replied, the more he wanted to cover up.
Xie Jing remained silent, just looked at him, the light gray eyes were gentle like a lake under the morning sun, sparkling between the slight ripples, so clear that he seemed to be able to see through a qiΔ.
Ning Yufei was a little uncomfortable with him.
Xie Jing didn't look away, but said in a voice as soft as ripples in the lake: "You promised me that there should be more communication and trust between us, and don't get upset because of the lack of communication." β
After experiencing the events of four years ago, Ning Yufei did think so, but when he heard this now, he had an extra harsh feeling, and the sullenness that had been suppressed all night finally showed signs of an explosion.
"Communication is relative, not one-sided, don't you have anything to say to me, senior?"
He raised his eyes, and his dark eyes stared at Xie Jing.
Xie Jing was slightly stunned, and after half a sound, he confessed: "I know that you went to the mecha exhibition yesterday, with the prince. β
He would know that Ning Yufei was not surprised, so he didn't say anything.
Xie Jing looked up at him and continued, "I also know that you saw that virtual image. β
He confessed! That's it!
Ning Yufei intellectually felt that he shouldn't care about this, and he was not qualified to be angry, but ......
Xie Jing hooked his lips: "What did the prince say about me?" Say that I am acting such a bitter trick to remind you of your old love? Or am I sacrificing my life to save you for gratitude? Oh, maybe it's all said. β
After a pause, he looked at Ning Yufei, there was some helplessness and bitterness in his eyes, and there was a loss that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved: "Xiao Yu, I do have selfish intentions, and I really want you to accompany me more, but I won't come to this journey just because of this." β
Ning Yufei twisted his eyebrows, and just wanted to speak, but was suddenly interrupted.
A small flying simulator passed through the air, and the wolf stopped on the white jade steps, and a panicked middle-aged man rolled down from it, and as soon as he saw Xie Jing, he shouted, "Ah Jing, help me!" Huo Beichen, a madman, is too arrogant, if he continues like this, the entire Senate will ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Jing got up and looked at him calmly: "Help? How to save? The accident at the Imperial Capital Mecha Exhibition has been found to be the real culprit, do you know who it is? β
His fluttering tone made the comer's face look like ashes: "This ...... This ......"
Xie Jing stared at him, and every word he said was clear, but at this treacherous moment, it was extra infiltrating: "The woman next to Ling Gongzi is a descendant of the Heavenly Snake Clan!" β
