Chapter 22: Sleepiness
The meeting lasted for a day and finally came to an end. As soon as King walked out of the conference hall, he saw Shan Yan holding something and waiting for him.
King walked towards her with a spring breeze on his face and took her in his arms. Every time he reunites after parting, he wants to hug her well.
In the world 100 years ago, he would always wag his tail and reluctantly watch her go out, he would squat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly watching the pedestrians on the road, searching for her traces. Expecting it again and again, failing again and again, doing the same thing over and over again, waiting for her to return.
The heads of state who came out behind King also looked at Xian Lian.
"King, I bought you fruit." Burnt broke free from King's embrace and held the blood pear high in front of him.
"Blood pear?" King was slightly stunned when he saw the fruit, he hadn't touched a blood pear in decades. A child's face suddenly appeared in memory.
"After a day of meetings, I must have been very tired. Eating this is the best way to replenish energy. Xianxian said with a smile.
"Thank you." King took the blood pear from the hand, gently held the straw, and sucked.
"Did Miss Nancy go to the city today?" Jacques approached the two of them.
"Well, with Luke, they went with them." Xian Yan replied.
"Which one do you think is better, the capital of the hidden area or the W city of the dynasty?" Jacques suddenly became curious.
"Of course it's W City, there's King there." Xianxian replied without hesitation.
"Isn't the hidden zone bad?" Jacques continued with a sad expression.
Xianxian shook his head and said, "The hidden area is just too good to make me feel unreal." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Jacques frowned in thought.
"It's like an ideal country, with beautiful scenery, rich country, peace and freedom." "Of course, this is just my personal opinion, maybe I only see the beauty, but I haven't seen the darkness. ”
Jacques looked at Xian Xian in surprise, with the accumulation of wealth in the past few decades, he has indeed turned the hidden area into a peach blossom source, away from all external disputes. Today, it made Xian Xian reveal the truth in one word.
"Isn't it bad to have no darkness?" Jacques continued to ask.
"Darkness and light coexist, and without darkness, people cannot appreciate the beauty of light." Xianxian said with a smile.
"Yes, if there is no war, there is no beauty of peace." Jacques was thoughtful.
"Miss Nancy, would you like to stay longer?" Jacques kindly and tactfully invited her to stay.
Slightly annoyed, King stretched out his arm to stop Jacques and hold him behind him, "Xiao Xian will go back with me." ”
Seeing the appearance of King's cub protector, Jacques couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect Nancy to have such a big influence on King.
"Jacques, what will happen to the Hidden Zone if war breaks out again one day?" Xian Xian asked curiously.
"The Hidden Zone will not intervene in any wars anymore, and will remain neutral." Jacques said seriously, "Unless the war has burned on this land, no one can escape at that time." ”
As she pondered Jacques's words, she could understand the choice he had made. She had to admit that the current Hidden Zone was definitely the most stable place among the Seven Regions. If there is hope, she still wants to enlist Jacques's help, Jacques is so smart, I'm afraid he would have guessed her true identity like Cole.
However, Xianxian understands that she can't be in a hurry yet, and she is not completely sure.
"Xiaoxian, I'm hungry, let's go out to eat." King took Burn's hand.
She smiled and said goodbye to Jacques, "Then we'll take our leave." ”
"Wait." The black girl suddenly rushed over to block the way.
"Can I go with you?" The black girl smiled brightly and took King's arm familiarly.
"Of course, you can ......" Before she could finish her words, she was already preempted by King. Of course not. ”
Hei Mei's face instantly became ugly, and she let go of her hand in embarrassment and looked at Xian Xian with indignation.
She was distressed, and this was the second time she had endured her resentment.
Hei Mei is in a particularly bad mood at the moment, King has always saved her a little face, but now he is directly slapped in the face. She glanced at the flame with a complicated expression, all because of this woman.
King didn't take the black girl in his eyes, and took Xianxian away with his own eyes.
"Angry?" Jacques glanced at the black girl beside him.
Hei Mei stood there without saying a word, watching the two go away. She waited so long, just hoping that one day she could be with King, they had experienced so much blood and rain together, and in the end it was still in vain.
"I thought my opponent was his master." Heimei laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I didn't expect to lose to his sister." ”
"As you said, that's King's sister. If you still want to be with King, the person you should please the most is her. Jacques smiled slightly, not revealing the truth. But he was still worried that mixing with humans would King's decision-making be affected.
"Is Nancy really just King's sister?" Hei Mei asked the doubts in her heart, and her intuition told her that things were not that simple.
Jacques smiled indifferently, "Who knows......"
"I don't understand, why are you so interested in King's sister?" Ryan was a little speechless.
"We've all known each other for so long, and we've never heard King talk about having a sister of his own, but we know he's been looking for a human woman." Neo said, "There must be something wrong with this sister who suddenly appeared. ”
"Whether there is any problem with her, it is all an internal matter of the dynasty, and it has nothing to do with us." Cole suddenly answered, "What, Neo, don't you think there's enough trouble in Yi's district?" Cole smiled mockingly.
"Cole, I really don't understand why you are so indulgent to King and so vicious to us." Neo frowned, visibly feeling the difference.
Cole smiled, "You guys talk casually, I'll take my leave first." ”
"King, you were a little too much just now, how can you talk to the black girl like that?" Xian Xian accused.
"My attitude has always been very clear, if it is just an ordinary friend, I will pay attention to proportions and keep room for it. But if someone has a mind that they shouldn't have, I won't condone it. King said.
"May I ask you a question?" Xianxian asked.
King nodded.
"Why don't you like Black Girl?" Xian Yan was very puzzled, "Obviously, everyone thinks you are a good match." ”
King looked at her earnestly, "You want to know the truth?" ”
"You can't be crippled by that car accident, right?" Xianxian looked at King in horror, "But the doctor didn't explain the other injuries...... "Xianxian tried to think about the past, hoping for a clue.
King was also stunned when he heard this, and Xianxian actually suspected him......
"Not what you think." King quickly explained.
"What's the truth?"
"I don't understand love." "I haven't understood love in 100 years, my whole world is you. ”
Xian Xian looked at him in bewilderment.
"You should understand that although we canines are very similar to humans, we still have canine thinking." King went on to explain, "Like Jacques, his wife changed ten; Heimei has relationships with many canines and has given birth to many children; Lucy also had children out of wedlock. Can you agree with these things in your heart? ”
Xianxian listened quietly to his story.
"I'm resistant to all of this, and I don't have any expectations for love." King laughed, "To put it bluntly, it's a difference in the concept of love." ”
"People who don't agree are not suitable to be partners." King came to a conclusion.
He couldn't understand why King's mind was so unlike a normal dog, he clearly had the same mind as a human. To her surprise, King's ideas coincided with hers.
There was a little more confusion in her heart at the moment. She felt that God was really joking, and the ideal object in her mind would be her former pet.
"If you were human, I probably wouldn't hesitate to fall in love with you." The smile was a little bitter.
King was slightly surprised, "You said you'd fall in love with me?" ”
King's heart had never been so judicious, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was expecting something.
"There are assumptions ahead." "After all, we are not the same kind, and it is strange to be together. ”
"So, I'm thinking about organizing a blind date for you." Xianxian said with a smile.
"Blind date?" King frowned, remembering some of the stupid things Luffy had done.
"I'll help you find a partner when you get back." Xian Xian said excitedly.
"Xiaoxian, why do you suddenly want me to go on a blind date?" King asked, puzzled.
"I thought about getting you a girlfriend 100 years ago." "It's a pity that you haven't met someone you like." ”
"I'm not from this world after all, and my human lifespan is limited. I hope that even though I'm gone, you'll still be happy. ”
"Xiao Xian, do you really want to push me to someone else?" King's emotions were slightly excited, "You don't have the slightest reluctance?" ”
"I ......"
"If I find a partner and I only have her in my eyes, I will pick vegetables for her, peel shrimp for her, everything is centered on her. If she won't let me see you, I'll never come to see you. She won't let me remember you, and I'll forget you. King continued, "Even so, do you insist on helping me find a partner?" ”
When she heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears. She couldn't accept that King would forget her and snub her for the sake of his partner. What exactly should she do?
"King, are you really going to do that?" Xianxian looked at him in disbelief.
"Maybe." King's smile was sad.
"With me checking for you, it won't be like this." "You just haven't met the right person yet. ”
"Xiao Xian, if this is your wish, I will follow it." King said in disappointment. When Lucy told him that assumption, he couldn't accept it at all, and he wouldn't allow anyone to snatch it. But his fire was always thinking about how to push him away.
Xianxian looked up at him, although he agreed verbally, but there seemed to be a complaint in his heart.
Faced with a table full of food, the two of them had no appetite. Xianxian regretted it a little, she shouldn't have brought up the topic of blind dates. The former King was obviously very easy to understand, with a clear distinction between love and hate, but now he makes her unable to see through. Was it time that changed him?
After the meal, King sent her back to his room and went out alone.
He knocked on Cole's door.
"Why are you here?" Cole was surprised, "Why don't you go with your baby sister?" ”
"Is there any wine?" King asked coldly.
Cole frowned, realizing that something was wrong with him.
Cole stepped back, leaving room for the door, "Come in." ”
"What's going on?" Cole pulls out a bottle of reserve red wine and pours it into a goblet with grace and skill.
"I'm in a bad mood." King said gloomily.
"Let's have a drink first." Cole handed the glass over.
"Why would she push me to someone else?" King smiled wryly, "I only need her." ”
Cole looked at him quietly, King had always been calm, but he was prone to impulsiveness and stupidity when it came to something related to his master.
"King, what exactly do you want?" Cole asked calmly.
"I want her." King blurted out.
"It's ugly that you're hesitating right now." Cole sighed, "You've been looking for her for so long, and it's been so hard to get back together, why do you want to waste time?" ”
"It seems to me that your master still cares about you. It's just that she's a little sluggish, as if she hasn't been emotionally enlightened. Cole continued, "Otherwise, you try to accept her arrangement first, and it might be useful to stimulate her." ”
"Let's not talk about that, let's have a drink." King drank the wine from his glass, took the bottle and continued to fill it up, he hadn't indulged himself like he had done tonight in a long time.
"Are you going back tonight?" Cole snatched the bottle from King's hand.
"I don't know how to face her when I go back." King smiled wryly.
She couldn't sleep, and she had insomnia tonight. She heard King leaving, and nearly two hours had passed, and he hadn't returned.
Xianxian couldn't help but wonder, was he angry with her? Angry that she's nosy? She was depressed, she just wanted King to be happy. After all, she couldn't accompany him to old age.
She took out her phone and dialed Lucy's mobile number.
"Burning?" Lucy was a little amazed that she could get a call from Lin.
"Sister Lucy, I seem to have him off." Xian Yan whispered.
"What did you do?" Lucy asked.
"I want to give King a blind date." She replied.
"You!" Lucy is speechless, are these two love idiots?
"Why do you think King has been single for 100 years?" Lucy asked.
"I guess I haven't met the right one yet." Xian Yan replied.
"Wrong, it's because of you." Lucy frowned, "He's been living a human in his heart for a hundred years. ”
Xianxian was stunned.
"He mistakenly thinks that this is not love, and he is still deceiving himself and playing family games with you." Lucy sighed, "Don't you really feel his love for you?" ”
"I never thought about it...... "I was a little flustered, "I'm just his former master, and I'm still human." It's simply impossible between me and him. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?"
