Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tempting the Truth

"Am I scared you?" Murong Chenxi, who was baking the fire, suddenly came out with such a sentence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Huh?" I looked at him in amazement, not understanding why he said that, "I ........" he asked me, and I didn't know how to answer him. Frankly speaking, I'm not afraid of him, but sometimes I don't want to have too much contact with him, I can't understand his mind, and I don't want his mind to be seen through by him.

"Why did the prince say this?" I thought for a moment and asked.

"If you're not afraid of me, why do you always avoid me every time you see me and don't want to communicate with me too much, if you're not afraid of me, then can I understand that you hate me?" He said expressionlessly, looking indifferent and very concerned.

His words are so straightforward, he can even say it simply if he hates it, I think it's funny, is it possible that everyone else hates him in his eyes? But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not like that, and some of his words and deeds should make him think that he hated him. He has always been a very smart person, so he can naturally see the depths of it from a little clue, was it so obvious to me before? It made him think like this. Is it not so much that I am an acting person, or is he observant enough?

"The prince laughed, the prince is very smart and extraordinary, how can women in the world hate it if they like it too late. It's just that Bingxi first came to the Northern Desert, and he has never met the prince before, and he doesn't know anything about the prince, so he has to be cautious in his words and deeds if he doesn't know the prince, in case he says something wrong or does something wrong, he is afraid of making the prince unhappy. I thought about it, answered seriously, and after saying that, I felt that my reason was a bit far-fetched, and I knew that this was naturally not the real reason, but if I don't say so, I'm afraid there is no better reason to answer him.

He was slightly stunned, then chuckled again, and said, "Ao? Is it? In your eyes, this king is such a person who makes others can't guess his mind and is not good at expressing his emotions. ā€

I muttered to myself that he was more than that in my eyes.

However, his words confused me again, he was such a strange person to say himself in front of people without hesitation, and he could say it so straightforwardly, without being angry at all.

"Bingxi can't see people accurately, so he can't guess other people's thoughts." There was no way to tell whether his words were true or false.

His expression was neither angry nor annoyed, faint, and no emotion was visible on his face.

He said, "Then do you think what this king said to you is true or is there some suspicion?" ā€

He pressed step by step, so I didn't know what to do, and the more I escaped, the more I couldn't escape his questioning.

"I don't know about the ice tide, I only know if I test it," I said deliberately.

"Okay, in that case, if you ask, I will answer everything." He said.

I was stunned, the test, I just said it casually, it was really a test, he still couldn't take it seriously, and he couldn't understand this person more and more, what he was thinking.

Since he's going to take a test, there's nothing to do here at night anyway, so it's better to ask him casually and see what he can say.

"What is the prince's favorite flower?"

"Magnolia."

"What's your favorite dim sum?"

"Osmanthus cake."

"What's your favorite weather?"

"Sunny day."

"What's your least favorite weather?"

"It's a rainy day."

"What's your favorite season?"

"Autumn."

"What are you most afraid of?"

"The woman cries."

"What's your favorite fruit?"

"Watermelon."

"What color do you hate?"

"Black."

"What kind of people do you hate?"

"Bullying the weak."

"What do you like to do?"

"Practice calligraphy, draw occasionally."

I asked him a lot of questions, and he answered them all in one go. I didn't get bored at all with the questions I asked inexplicably, but were happy to answer them. I was surprised that I asked him so many questions unconsciously, and I really should admire myself. How could he ask these questions.

"Well, now do you know the answer?"

I said disapprerovingly: "I'm not sure yet, what these deficiencies mean, although you answer them one by one, but this question is very ordinary, I'm not sure." ā€

"So how can you be sure?" He continued.

Suddenly, my head turned, my eyes lit up, and I thought of a problem, but this problem is too risky, and if you make a mistake, you can't turn back. I have a heart to gamble, I don't know if he will gamble with me.

I immediately vetoed this, no, no, no, this is too risky, not appropriate. I struggled with whether to ask him.

But when he thought about it, he didn't know what question to ask him, and this question was the only question that could test him.

"Why, is it hard?" He continued.

I was so distracted that I would simply take a gamble, and it wasn't me who answered the question anyway.

"Your father has eight sons, and since the death of the eldest prince, the crown prince has been vacant, have you ever wanted to sit on the crown prince and become the lord of the world?"

Murong Chenxi looked at me with a complicated expression, but he was very calm, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Probably because of the question I asked. Too bold.

Angry and a little silent.

........

..........

"Of course, you can choose not to answer." His silence made me decide to give up.

"I want to."

When I was about to give up, Murong Chenxi said the word "want".

I felt a little inexplicable joy in my heart, I don't know if he said that he said the answer I wanted, or if he was sincere, if he said he didn't want or didn't answer, then what should I do.

One person actually said lightly in front of another person that he wanted the throne, which was a big rebellion in the eyes of others, but he unabashedly showed his heart to me.

"Anything else to ask?" He looked at me and asked seriously.

"Nope." I whispered, indeed, no.

For some reason, I was a little moved. So, I should trust him, right?
