In the afternoon, the whole silver ring was like an oven, and the pedestrians on the road were sweating profusely, but they obviously did not mean to stop and rest, but accelerated their pace and rushed to the tall building.

Nangong Siyuan sat alone in front of the windowsill, staring blankly at the unchanged scenery outside the window. It is rare to take a day off, and he should find something interesting to do and properly relax and relieve stress. But at this time, he didn't have the slightest such thoughts, he just wanted to find a quiet place and ask himself a question.

"Why don't I seem to be me anymore?"

Ever since he met Qiu Qiong, Nangong Siyuan's mind was full of her appearance, even if he deliberately didn't think about her, she would still suddenly jump in front of him, which could be said to have completely disrupted his orderly life.

In order to send her to the amethyst mine, he did not hesitate to turn his face with the partner who was closest to him and respected him the most; In order to save her from hunger and thirst, he did not hesitate to use his meager salary to bring her water, and during this period, he had to pull down his face and find someone to borrow money; In order for her to stay safe and sound in the mines, he did not hesitate to spend all his savings to hire thugs and send them to protect her secretly......

Nangong Siyuan never thought that he would do so many things for a stranger. And he was still unsure whether it was right or wrong to do so......

"Enough! I...... I'm staying here! Voluntary! Qiu Qiong supported the bushes beside her with one hand, pressed Xu Tian's shoulder with the other, and stood up staggeringly, her eyes locked on his body unwaveringly, and shouted, "Nangong Siyuan!" I don't need you to fake good intentions here! I don't need to! Listen, I'm not going to go with you! ”

"Why?! What the hell should I do for you to believe me! The first time he was so anxious, he almost took Qiu Qiong away.

The morning light was too gentle, but Qiu Qiong's face was like frost and snow, and her eyes were like thousands of sharp knives hidden, ready to stab him in the heart. Even though he was fully mentally prepared and expected that she would not go with him, when this moment came, he only felt that the whole person had just been torn apart by the five horses, and it was like tearing pain, which was even more unbearable than being beaten by the behemoth monster in front of him.

"You go!" Qiu Qiong shouted in the firmest tone.

"I'm not leaving!" He was staring at her, gasping for breath, and said quietly, "I have to get you out of here today!" I can help you, I can protect you! ”

Qiu Qiong frowned, snorted coldly, pointed at him with one hand and said, "Nangong Siyuan, you listen to me, I don't need your protection!" I chose this path myself! No matter what the outcome is, I'll go to the end! ”

"It's a dead end!" He pointed to the high wall covered with spikes and shouted, "Do you know that none of the contestants outside are vegetarians!" They're all prepared! How unscrupulous they can do to get the 'King's Seat'! An unarmed person like you can't last a day! ”

"What about dead ends! What about unscrupulous means! I'm not afraid! What's more, out of this place, where else can I go! Lao Xu and I, can we go back to Lazy Town safely? ”

"But I'm afraid ......"

Before the words were finished, Nangong Siyuan was stunned, his heart sank, and he realized that it was easy to take her out, but it was absolutely impossible to send her back to Lazy Town. For one, the guards who only had bounties in their eyes stared at her these days, and would never let her leave the town even half a step easily; Second, the people above are very interested in her, and they are preparing to move to Tonghuan to watch the competition, when Tonghuan is under martial law, there will be guards and patrols everywhere.

Nangong Siyuan, you think clearly! If I get out of here, it's just going to make things more complicated and harder to end! Not only that, but it will also affect more people! Qiu Qiong clenched her fists with both hands and glared at Nangong Siyuan fiercely.

"You ......," he choked up, and his expression became more and more sad, "so you think so......"

Nangong Siyuan suddenly realized that he finally understood why Qiu Qiong rejected him so firmly.

If Qiu Qiong shouted "voluntary" for the first time to escape from the amethyst mine, then when she said "voluntary" this time, she really stayed here willingly.

She knew very well that Lao Xu and she were trapped in this greedy town, and they couldn't get out for a while, but if she followed Nangong Siyuan out of the jungle forbidden land just to survive, it would not be her alone, Lao Xu would inevitably be implicated, and even used to threaten her.

No matter where she hid, there was always a way for them to force her out. Moreover, she will certainly not hesitate to stand up.

"I can't believe that she is even more thorough than I thought, and she has a long-term perspective." Nangong Siyuan thought to herself, "Although her decision seems crazy, it is the only choice in the current situation." Compared to the danger outside, I don't know when and where they will do it, maybe this bronze medal tournament will be safer, after all, hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching, and any wind and grass will cause an uproar. ”

Gradually, Nangong Siyuan's expression faded and returned to his former blandness. But no matter how indifferent he is, he still doesn't look like the original him.

"Miss Xu, think again! Sir Nangong, think again! Xu Tian wanted to cry and shouted without tears.

At this time, Nangong Siyuan took two steps forward and stood in front of Qiu Qiong, the two looked at each other, and their eyes collided with countless sparks.

Suddenly, Nangong Siyuan bent down, lowered her head to Qiu Qiong's ear, and whispered something, making her face flush and her nostrils bubbling.

"You...... Let's go......" Qiu Qiong said weakly.

Nangong Siyuan smiled lightly, nodded slightly, then turned around and walked into the woods quickly. And after Ah Nu stared at him and left, he also vented his strength and changed back to his normal form......

Just when Nangong Siyuan looked out the window and sighed helplessly, there was a sudden knock on the door behind him.

Nangong Siyuan suddenly came back to his senses, turned sideways and looked at it, standing outside the door was Lao Xu in a set of light yellow regular work clothes, sweat completely wet his upper body, obviously rushing all the way, and his expression was a little tired, a little flustered, and a little afraid.

Nangong Siyuan frowned, and said very puzzled: "Mr. Xu, why are you here?" Are you still used to working? ”

"Also...... It's still ...... habit to go" Lao Xu choked up, took a step forward, rubbed his hands in front of him, and asked anxiously: "Nangong, I heard that you rushed to Tonghuan in the middle of the night last night...... Is something going on? Nana She ...... She's okay! ”

Nangong Siyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, he obviously went out in disguise last night and walked very secretively, how could anyone know that he went to Tonghuan? Could it be that someone is following him? Or has it been spying on him secretly?

For a while, vigilance drove Nangong Siyuan to close the curtains, lock the doors and windows, take out a signal blocking device from his backpack, and stick it on the top of the wall. With the push of a switch, a purple light wave immediately spread out in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated all kinds of electronic devices in the room, causing a temporary system paralysis, and penetrated into the walls and all corners, wrapping the entire room, forming a small fan

Fence around the signal isolation area.

Lao Xu looked at Nangong Siyuan in a daze, scratched his head, and asked, "Nangong, what are you doing here?" ”

Nangong Siyuan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with one hand, stared at Lao Xu with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I am being monitored." ”

"What?!"

"Mr. Xu, tell me quickly, where did you get this news!" With that, Nangong Siyuan grabbed Lao Xu's arm violently.

Lao Xu was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to exhale twice with "hehe".

"Mr. Xu! Say it! ”

"This ...... Heck, actually, I'm hearsay...... It's just that when you deliver food at noon, you overhear a few women talking about your gossip......"

Nangong Siyuan was startled, and his face changed drastically and shouted, "Me? Gossip? ”

Lao Xu nodded with a wry smile and replied, "Yes!" I was shocked and curious! So I asked them what was going on, and they showed me the communicator, and it was the headline! A large line of headlines that read 'Boom! Young Master Nangong went to Tonghuan at night, and secretly met with an unknown girl'. There's also a photo attached below, it's a small forest, and when I look at it, it's not Nana! Nangong, I believe in you, but didn't you tell me that she was in the mine! How could it be in the woods! ”

"Going to the brass ring at night? Secret meetings? Outrageous! ”

Nangong Siyuan scolded angrily, hurriedly took out the communicator, opened the news headline that Lao Xu said, pulled it down, and found that the so-called secret meeting photo was taken when he just leaned over and whispered to her. Moreover, the wording in the article is extremely ambiguous, nothing happened to the two of them, and they were forced to say that everything happened! What's even more immoral is that they actually erased Xu Tian and the huge Ah Nu beside Qiu Qiong!

Nangong Siyuan became more and more anxious the more he looked at it, and finally he was so angry that he directly threw the communicator on the ground and shouted: "Unscrupulous media! In order to be shocked, anything can be done! ”

Lao Xu hurriedly stepped back, until he stood in a safe position, and then asked nervously, "Nangong, what the hell is going on?" You ...... Nana"

"She'......"

Nangong Siyuan's eyes widened, and when he saw that Lao Xu was so frightened by his actions that he almost retreated to the door, he realized that his emotions were rarely out of control. Ever since he was a child, he had never been so angry as he was at this moment, let alone throwing things in front of others.

"Mr. Xu, it's rude."

"Where is she?"

"She was a good advocate, and she used being cannon fodder as an opportunity to leave the amethyst mine without my knowledge at all. She is now in the jungle exclusion zone, and in two days, she will be put into the bronze medal tournament......"

"What?! Bronze Medal Tournament! Nana: She's going to compete? ”

"No, she's not as a contestant, but as a prey."

"What do you mean by prey?"

"......" Nangong Siyuan told Lao Xu everything about it.

After listening, Lao Xu couldn't help but gasp, sat down on the chair with a gloomy face, and muttered, "This stupid girl...... Too self-righteous...... Without the nano suit, and without the Evil Sword, how could she deal with those people......"

Nangong Siyuan was stunned, thinking to himself, aren't those two things impounded in the Silver Ring Guardhouse!

"Alas, it's over, I've got to find the van and tell Flair and Diligent about it!"

"Mr. Xu, leave it all to me."

"What?"

"You'll be fine with me."
