Xin Zi watched Takemoto walk out of the hall and go to the yard in a daze, wanting to chase after him, but because his parents with cuckoos sitting around him were inconvenient to leave the table, he had to cast a look at Li Yuan for help.

Li Yuan couldn't sit still a little, nodded knowingly, got up and chased out.

Takemoto had the self-blame for protecting Xin Zi, so he naturally didn't dare to go far, just leaned against a pomegranate tree in the middle of the yard, and looked up at the sky in a daze.

Li Yuan leaned up and asked carefully, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Takemoto's face was so dark that he could grind ink, and said coldly: "It's nothing, it's stuffy inside, come out and relax." ”

I don't know why, as long as it involves Takemoto's affairs, Li Yuan seems a little clumsy, and he doesn't dare to use any of the tricks he used to deceive the little girl, maybe he is afraid of angering her, and the soft sword on his waist is ruthless?

But in any case, since Takemoto said so at this moment, he had no choice but to lean next to her, and the two stood quietly under the pomegranate tree, looking at each other without saying a word.

After some time, the cuckoo came out of the house and looked at the two men under the pomegranate tree.

Takemoto glanced at her and said, "Master Li, your cuckoo sister is looking for you." ”

Li Yuan listened to the obvious sarcasm in her tone, and subconsciously stood up straight and wanted to theorize: "That's just my scene, you and I have known each other for so many years, don't you still understand me?" ”

Takemoto still said with a gloomy face: "You are used to messing with flowers and grass, showing mercy everywhere, how can I understand you." ”

Li Yuan listened to this and said more and more wrong, so he became a little anxious, opened his mouth and was about to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, his mind turned a few times, and finally he made a strange smile from the previous hurry, squinted at Takemoto, and said word by word: "You shouldn't be jealous, right?" ”

At this thought, Li Yuan himself was startled. He had to protect Xin Zi's safety along the way, but also take care of Takemoto's emotions, and his heart was always hanging in the air, and he didn't dare to expect Takemoto to have anything in mind about him. What's more, no matter how hard he tries, Takemoto is very unkind to him in all aspects, from the way he treats people and things, to the advice he gives to Xin Zi when he encounters problems, and then to the timely evacuation of him whenever he encounters the enemy...... In all aspects, Takemoto can always pick out his thorns and stand on the opposite side of him.

In the Tang Mansion before, when the identities of the two had not yet been clarified, one of them was Tang Yinzhong's personal servant, and the other was Mrs. Tang's personal maidservant. During that time, he had been secretly observing Takemoto's every move, and there was still a glimmer of hope that Takemoto would notice him, and their relationship would gradually ease, or even go back to the past......

But Xin Zi's whistle, the identity of the two of them as dark piles was exposed, and they became partners, walking together all the way, it is said that it should be hundreds of times better than before, but the relationship between him and Takemoto has not only become closer, but more and more tense.

Takemoto always has some hostility towards him, and he is tense at every turn. It had taken a lot of energy for him to just make her less dismissive, and how could he dare to hope for the closeness he had thought before.

But now, with his understanding of women, Takemoto is clearly jealous, jealous of him? This idea made him feel that it was simply fanciful, but the facts were there, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Li Yuan's thoughts flew like this, and his face looked happy and worried, which was very strange.

Takemoto, who was close to him, didn't have time to look at his expression at the moment, and she was also shocked by Li Yuan's words.

Is it really as Li Yuan said, is this jealous? But how could she be emotional about Li Yuan, this is something that should not and is not allowed to happen at all......

Those memories of the past came flooding up little by little, the people she once loved, her father, mother, Xiao Qiu Qiu...... They all left her eventually. Zuo Qiyang took her away and gave her a new life, she told herself that she would never be emotional again in this life, because it would only harm herself, and even more harm the people who loved her.

Now did she unknowingly break the boundary that she should have kept?

Thinking of this, Takemoto suppressed the uneasiness and confusion in his heart, rebuilt his defense, and watched Li Yuan's gaze return to almost ruthless coldness again.

This look pierced Li Yuan's heart like an ice pick, making his heart twitch for a while, and he couldn't speak.

"Don't be sentimental." Takemoto slowly spoke, "You're right, how many women have you deceived, played with their feelings, and will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals?" Seeing your meanness and ruthlessness, I can still maintain a partnership relationship with you, it is already for the sake of Miss Xin Zi and Lord Zuo, do you really think that my easing attitude towards you during this time is to be emotional for you? It's ridiculous, where are all your mind-reading skills that coax little girls? How can I read my mind now?

"Can't you see through it? Then I'll tell you directly. Not to mention that my identity is here, I have already made plans for a lonely life, and I will never be emotional to anyone. Even if I really complete my mission after many years, if I want to find someone to spend the rest of my life safely, not to mention finding a person with a good relationship, I will definitely find someone with a clean background. You ask yourself, how much innocent blood do you have on your hands? You won't be awakened at night by the cries of those unjust souls that haunt your pillow? I will. I don't want to add any more burden to my heart, because I really can't carry it anymore.

"I can't get used to you flirting with Du Juan just now, and I'm worried about Xin Zi. After all, you and I are just staying here, you provoke the girl of a good family like this, if something happens and the girl's whereabouts are exposed, you and I can't afford it.

"I've said this, whether you want to entangle with that little girl, you can decide for yourself."

After saying these words, Takemoto didn't look at Li Yuan again, turned around and went into the house, leaving Li Yuan standing alone in a daze.

Every sentence of Takemoto's words stabbed him like a dagger.

From the time he was taken back by Zuo Qiyang for training, to the time he was placed in Tang Mansion to be Tang Yinzhong's little servant, and in fact he was doing the disgraceful aftermath work for Tang Jiashan, how many lives did he have on his hands during this period?

He can be competent for the work of the dark pile, step by step, and he is no longer the simple and ignorant Xiao Qiu who followed Xiao Zhen back then.

This is the biggest pain in his heart that he can't get around, and it is precisely because of this that he has never dared to have a showdown with Takemoto. He was afraid that if he found out his identity, he would destroy the image of the perfect little boy in Takemoto's heart and always in his memory. (To be continued.) )
