Chapter Thirty-Three: Riley with a Dead Heart
Wang Xiaoming knows Riley's mood at the moment, after all, he has been a zombie for more than 2,000 years, and he is no longer the Qin Shi Huang who dominates the world, but a monster who relies on blood for food, immortality, and finally met a woman who can open his cold heart that has been sealed for more than 2,000 years and can make him feel that he is still 'alive', but he was tricked by fate and finally ended up like this.
At this moment, Riley has only one thought, that is, to let his fiancΓ©e Shiya forgive him, and the second is to hope that he can die, these two wishes can be said to be a little contradictory, but they are also what he wants most at the moment.
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you." Riley smiled and asked Wang Xiaoming.
"My business? What story do I have to tell. Wang Xiaoming shrugged and said.
"That girl from the Ma family, she seems to like you." Riley looked at Wang Xiaoming, who had a calm face, and continued.
"I know, it's just that we don't fit." Wang Xiaoming chuckled lightly and looked up at the sun that was approaching the sea.
"How do you know it's not suitable if you don't try it." Riley had a look on his face and said, "Actually, I thought I wouldn't believe in love in my life. β
"We're not from the same world, and I'm not sure enough to protect her, so how can I provoke each other." Wang Xiaoming shook his head, he is not the kind of man who shows mercy everywhere, although he is not a good man, but he is not a scumbag who thinks with his lower body in his lower body.
"Maybe you have your own difficulties, but I still think that you will lose a good woman like this." Riley looked at the man who claimed to be his brainless fan, and all he saw at the moment was a responsible man.
"It's better than making her sad for the rest of her life." Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Maybe in the near future, she will meet a man who really loves her." β
"It turns out that you are already in love with her." Riley said suddenly.
Wang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." β
Riley was silent when he heard this, and then the two men stayed quietly on the edge of the cliff, watching the sun sink into the sea little by little. What Riley was thinking at this moment, Wang Xiaoming didn't know, but he was thinking about what Riley said just now.
'Am I really in love with Ma Xiaoling?' Wang Xiaoming asked himself secretly in his heart.
He subconsciously vetoed it, because the two of them had met and known each other for less than three months, although he had watched the "Deadlock" trilogy countless times in his own world, if he thought about it this way, he should not be love, but just seeing his favorite character in front of him, which made him have a strange feeling.
"yes, that's all." A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xiaoming's mouth, but this smile looked a little strange, but Wang Xiaoming himself didn't notice it.
Riley, who was standing beside him, saw it, maybe this is self-deception, Riley thought to himself, when he fell in love with Shiya, why wasn't it like this, but he also had to admire Wang Xiaoming for being able to control his feelings, but whether this is really good, Riley can't say, after all, there is no way for others to interfere and should not interfere in such a thing as love.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Wang Xiaoming turned around at this time and said to Riley: "I haven't watched the sunset for a long time, but I didn't expect that this time it was with my idol, and I earned it this time." β
"Okay, let's go back, I think Miss Ma should have been waiting for a long time." Riley said with a relieved smile.
"Have you given up before you saw Shiya?" After Wang Xiaoming saw it, he knew that Riley was already determined to die.
"Perhaps, this is the only way to atone for my sins, and I've lived enough." As if he had let go of everything, Riley said, "Moreover, the debt I owe to the Ma family should also be repaid." β
Wang Xiaoming was speechless for a long time, but finally turned into a sigh and quietly returned to the castle with Riley. Sure enough, just as Riley said just now, Ma Xiaoling seemed to have suspected that Riley was a zombie at this time, and the moment she saw them come in, she subconsciously tensed her body, and saw that Wang Xiaoming was also following Riley, so she relaxed her body.
"I'm sorry, I invited you, but I made you wait for a long time." Riley said with an apologetic smile.
After a few polite conversations, the group went to the living room, where they sat down at the table full of a sumptuous Western dinner, Riley made a brief opening remarks, and then everyone dined to the accompaniment of elegant music.
Dinner was over, the chef and service staff invited by Riley put the dessert and wine on the table, and then left the castle, leaving only Wang Xiaoming and his party and Riley alone, they drank Riley's collection of red wine, and casually talked about some interesting things.
"Mr. Riley, why don't we tell you some zombie stories." Ma Xiaoling saw that the time was almost up, and suddenly attacked Riley.
"Oh, master, let's not talk about work in such a good atmosphere." Jin Zhengzhong said a little depressed, but Ma Xiaoling glared at him and stopped speaking for a moment.
"It seems that if I don't say something, Miss Ma won't agree." Riley held a glass of red wine in his hand and tasted it gently, well, that's all there is to it, otherwise he will have diarrhea.
"I'm sorry, it's an occupational disease." Ma Xiaoling smiled indifferently.
"Well, since you like to hear it, I'll tell you." Riley stood up and continued, "Actually, the story that the elves told before happened in this ancient castle. β
Riley told the story of himself and Shiya very calmly, with a hint of nostalgia and relief, everyone heard the first half of the story, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, Wang Zhenzhen was just simply envious and regretful for the love and encounter of the two people, and Tianyou silently accompanied his girlfriend, because he had already made up his mind and was ready to propose to Wang Zhenzhen when he returned to Hong Kong.
As for Ma Xiaoling, she was only nervous, after all, if she thought correctly, Riley was a zombie, at the moment she just wanted to get out of here quickly, Jin Zhengzhong, Wang Zhenzhen and Guo Tianyou were just ordinary people, she didn't know if she and Wang Xiaoming could destroy this zombie, after all, if the zombie didn't change, even Ma Xiaoling couldn't tell how many generations it was.
Riley's story continues, already talking about the tears of the angel and the disaster on the wedding day, Riley, who has already had the intention of death, suddenly found that he didn't feel any discomfort, maybe it was the reason why he had accepted his fate, he ended his story with a wry smile.
"I didn't think Mr. Riley knew the story so well." Ma Xiaoling looked at Riley.
"Perhaps, maybe I'm that zombie, but in fact, I invited you here tonight in the hope that Miss Ma and Mr. Wang's exorcism can put an end to this tragedy that has lasted for half a century." Riley turned around, looked at Ma Xiaoling and Wang Xiaoming, and said lightly.
"Why should I help you?" Ma Xiaoling looked at Riley, wanting to see the truth of this sentence from the other party's eyes.
"First, I have money, and second, I don't know when that man will go crazy again, if I can understand his lonely and miserable life, maybe he will be grateful to you." Riley said with a chuckle.
