After thinking about all the things he didn't want, Shen Ming thought about the end and muttered to himself: "It's not that I don't know what I don't want, I just can't get rid of ......"

The tea on the table had cooled a little, and now that it was just in time for the entrance, Yundui sat up straight, picked up the teacup and drank it down, then put the teacup down and raised her eyes lazily.

She watched as the maid poured tea for her again, her slender white fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, and her fingertips revealed a very beautiful pale pink.

She chuckled and said, "It's not that you can't get rid of it, but you don't dare to bear the price." ”

The maid who had gone downstairs to get cold water came back at this time, and she took three new cups in addition to the cold water, which were distinguished from the teacups, and were specially used to drink cold water.

Shen Ming saw that the maid poured another cup of cold water for the three of them, and after placing it next to the teacup, he sighed and ordered, "You two go down first, wait at the door." ”

The maid put the kettle with cold water on the table, and together with the other maid, she lowered her eyebrows and answered in unison: "Yes, young master." ”

After the two maids retreated, Clouddusk was in no hurry to continue.

She took a piece of glutinous rice dumplings and ate them, and the small and cute glutinous rice dumplings were like snow-white balls, wrapped in red bean paste.

Yun Du slowly finished eating the glutinous rice dumplings, ate another piece of mung bean cake, and then drank a sip of cold water to moisten his throat.

Shen Ming naturally didn't dare to urge her.

In the time she didn't speak, he was reflecting on what she had said.

Indeed, he did not dare to bear the price.

He didn't dare to face the early death of his biological mother because of the fact that he hated not winter, but himself who made his biological mother have a difficult birth.

He didn't dare to object to his father welcoming many concubines into the door, and giving birth to so many cousins who competed with him, because he still needed to please his father to get the family property.

Don't dare not marry a jealous wife, because the wife was born in an official family, and she can help him.

didn't dare to scold the pampered and arrogant concubines, because he knew that he had wronged the other party by being a concubine, and he really liked these concubines, so he bothered to coax them into the door.

I don't dare to admonish the concubines who are too ambitious, because he loves the house and Wu, and he really loves his concubines.

The reason why he doesn't dare to face what he doesn't want is because he doesn't want to give up his desires. Hope and demand.

Shen Ming finally smiled bitterly: "Lord Demon Slayer, the first time I saw you, I felt that you had the freedom I wanted but couldn't get. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Yun Dui's lips curved slightly, and the drooping eyelids were gently lifted, revealing peach blossom eyes hidden in the water and mountains.

She said calmly, "Freedom? Freedom is nothing more than the right to say no. Just like when I was penniless, I could still not care about your countless money, and casually rejected you, without hesitation. ”

"What I don't want to do, no one can coerce me to do it, I can say no openly, this is freedom."

"Of course, the prerequisite for freedom is strength. Money wasn't a problem for me, so I didn't have to struggle, I didn't have to make trade-offs, I didn't have to sacrifice anything for money, and I didn't have to spend my life in poverty because I didn't want to. ”

This passage made Shen Ming feel empowered, but he glanced at Yun Dui, and quickly lowered his head and restrained his gaze.

She just sat casually, her back slender and straight, her body was delicate, her black hair was supple, and there was an indescribable laziness and elegance, which was seductive.

But his mind didn't dare to drift in the direction of peach.

Yun Dui noticed Shen Ming's move of retracting his gaze, and hooked his lips and smiled: "Every word, every refusal, has to bear a certain price, and I have the strength to bear such a price." ”

"When I wasn't a demon exterminator, the reason why you dared to open your mouth to invite me in was because you dared to bear the price of being rejected by me, at most it was just a scolding, what if I agreed?"

"Now that I am a demon exterminator, you dare to invite me to talk about it, and dare to bear the price of my settlement after the autumn, because you are good at observing words and feelings, and you can see that I am not a person who cares about everything, and I will not do anything to you, right?"

"From the beginning, you dared me to be a concubine, and now you respectfully call me Lord Demon Exterminator, isn't it because of the change in my strength? The foundation of a person's life is just strength, and when you have enough strength, you can refuse what you don't want. ”

"In the face of others, you dare to think and do, and have the courage to take responsibility, but in the face of yourself, you are a fascination with the authorities, and you are cocooned and self-bound."

"What you want me to tell you is how to get rid of this authority. However, you know what you have to do, but you don't have the strength to do it. ”

Yun Du said a long sentence, her mouth was a little dry, she picked up the cup of cold water and drank it down, and then said the point of this conversation: "At the end of the day, you just want me to help you improve your strength and reach a cooperation." ”

Shen Ming was surprised and delighted: "Then the demon exterminator agreed?" ”

System 001 understood that she and Shen Ming had no ambiguous meaning after Yun Dusk explained the truth, so after the initial surprise, he swallowed the mung bean cake with the cold water he drank in, and began to concentrate on eating glutinous rice dumplings.

The glutinous rice dumplings are delicate and delicious, and he eats them one by one.

However, after saying a lot of things, the last sentence was simply sonorous and powerful, making System 001 doubt his IQ.

He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea to wake himself up, only then did he come back to his senses and understand that Yun Du and Shen Ming had said so much, just a temptation, a point to mention, and finally the two reached an agreement and finalized the cooperation.

He said that it was impossible for Yundui to talk so much to a man for no reason!

As System 001 was shocked, Twilight reached out to him and spread her palms.

System 001 looked down at the hand that Twilight had reached out to him, and after a moment's pause, he stood up.

He picked up the kettle with cold water, refilled the empty cup with cold water, and handed it to Twilight.

Reluctantly, Twilight put the cup back on the table, touched System 001's head, and woke him up, "I want a brocade bag." ”

System 001 suddenly realized.

Yes, cooperation, it must be paid by both parties.

So he hurriedly took out the brocade bag and put it in Yundui's hand.

After Yun Duan got the brocade bag, he directly threw the brocade bag into Shen Ming's arms, and then said casually: "This is the principal of cooperation." You can develop in my name, and finally break away from the constraints of the Shen Mansion, or even surpass the Shen Mansion. ”

Shen Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yun Duan directly throw over the gold-rimmed brocade bag embroidered with the mark of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

After he stayed for two seconds, he opened the brocade bag and saw a broken gold nugget engraved with the seal of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

He clutched the brocade bag tightly and couldn't help but speak: "Lord Demon Slayer Official, this broken gold has engraved the mark of the Demon Exterminator Alliance, it is of great significance, and its value is far beyond itself, do you really want to give me all this?" ”
