Chapter 61: Choice
Nanbo, who walked to the door, did not immediately open the delicate wooden door in front of him, but stood in place to sort out his thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking that he was going to have face-to-face formal negotiations with Jiang Baiyuan, Nan Bo's mood was a little complicated, with the current situation, from the perspective of interests, with Nana's trust in himself as a bargaining chip, as long as he surrendered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Huaxia and helped them control Nana, it was naturally the best choice, with the identity of the other party, even if he could not directly give him the right to use the "World Tree", he could also provide great help for himself to find Xiaobei.
However, I don't know if it was the ancient ritual that was carried out just now, which had some hints in his heart about himself, Nan Bo rejected this naked betrayal from the bottom of his heart, and he was extremely unwilling to surrender to Jiang Baiyuan.
Nanbo is a sane person, so in the matter of his sister's loss, he doesn't think Jiang Baiyuan is at fault, he has always blamed himself for his sister's disappearance, so he can't talk about any hatred for Jiang Baiyuan, after a few contacts, he also found that Jiang Baiyuan is indeed a good prince, judging from his release of the "Prince's New Deal", it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Baiyuan is the most virtuous prince in China since the second wave of the machine. However, reason is reason, sensibility is sensibility, and his sister disappeared because of him, so emotionally speaking, Nanbo hates Jiang Baiyuan.
Nan Bo held the doorknob, because the time given by Leng Lingye was coming soon, he has always been a decisive person, for anything, as long as he determines which side of the balance in his heart is heavier, even if it weighs only one milligram, he will not hesitate to make a decision, and unswervingly implement this decision to the end, but unfortunately emotions and interests can never be quantified, so Nan Bo hesitated for a long time, but in order to find his sister, even if he sold his soul, he still made up his mind.
However, Nanbo, who was full of thoughts, did not immediately unscrew the door lock, but glanced back at the girl behind him.
Nanbo had been standing at the door for a long time, but it had been quiet behind him, so the moment he turned around, he subconsciously thought that the picture he saw should be the same as when he walked into the door, a beautiful girl quietly looking at "memory" in the corner.
But when he turned around, he was indeed greeted with a pair of clean and flawless eyes, Nanbo was a little surprised, not only because Nana did not look at the "memory" but kept looking at himself, and the trust revealed in Nana's eyes also made him a little overwhelmed and a little guilty.
"I'll protect you." Nana said to Nanbo, who turned around.
"Hey, if you are sold and you help you make money, it's you." Nanbo, who is becoming more and more familiar with Nana's way of speaking, knows that Nana must have seen him hesitate at the door for a long time, mistakenly thinking that he was afraid, so he would say such a thing.
"Nana is amazing." Although Nana didn't understand the meaning of Nanbo's words, she could probably feel a softness to herself, thinking that Nanbo didn't believe much in her previous words, and Nana added very seriously.
Nanbo, who is accustomed to hiding his thoughts, doesn't know why he says his true thoughts so naturally in front of Nana, and he can't remember how long it has been since he has spoken so frankly with people, maybe a mysterious ritual really worked, or maybe he had already guessed that the other party couldn't understand his words, and he just lowered the guilt in his heart by being honest.
"I know." Remembering the scene when he first met Nana, Nanbo involuntarily reached out and touched his neck, smiled a little guiltily, turned around and opened the door.
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
As soon as the door lock sounded, the three people who were waiting quietly outside the door focused their attention on the direction of the door, so as soon as the door opened, Nanbo naturally became the focus of the three people's eyes. However, he did not respond to the other party immediately, but first gently closed the door behind him, because he noticed that the three of them all glanced into the house with their spare eyes the moment they saw him come out, obviously the other party paid much more attention to Nana than himself, and he had to try to cut off their contact in order to get the greatest benefit.
Perhaps because Jiang Baiyuan was standing in the middle, the closest to him, Nan Bo's eyes met him first.
Jiang Baiyuan was not angry because of Nan Bo's move to cover the door, but smiled at him slightly, and then asked, "How is Miss Valkyrie?" ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Nana has calmed down, but she still doesn't seem to be very willing to see you, so she entrusted me to talk to you." Nan Bo said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his palms were inevitably a little wet.
Although it is not the first time since Nanbo has seen each other, Jiang Baiyuan is also a prince who puts his posture very low, but putting it low also means that the other party is already in a high place, the previous few meetings, no matter how the other party pretends to be gentle, he can feel that the other party has a kind of high calm, reminding the people around him all the time that everything is under his control, nothing can hit a ripple in his heart, many people don't know what to do, and feel that this is the aura of an adult, naturally chose to accept or surrender, and even felt that the big man should have such an aura, and thus developed admiration for the person in front of him.
But Nan Bo can't, he knows that the essence of this calm is contempt, from the other party's subconscious sense of superiority, so he can't accept it calmly, this has nothing to do with personality, it's just a smart annoyance, the more you know, the more you can bear, just like a plate of food made of human flesh, if you don't know the raw materials of the ingredients, you can naturally eat very happily, but once you perceive the raw materials, you will naturally be able to swallow it anymore.
If you don't want to accept it, you can only bear it, so Nanbo's humility and arrogance at the moment are not easy.
"Hmph, didn't you just say you didn't know her? Why do you immediately put on a spokesperson now? Leng Lingye, who had already removed his outer armor, asked directly.
"That's because I didn't know that the 'Valkyrie' you were talking about was Nana." Nanbo replied with a non-humble and non-arrogant attitude.
"What is your relationship with this Miss Nana?" Zhang Chehan, who was standing on the other side of Jiang Baiyuan, suddenly interjected and asked, but his tone was much kinder than Leng Lingye.
Zhang Chehan is a person who knows how to observe words and emotions very well, he suddenly interjected, naturally it is not as simple as curiosity, he knows very well that Leng Lingye, who was robbed by himself, must also ask this question, Jiang Baiyuan should also be very interested in this question.
He also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eager to get his teacher's information from the girl in the room, so although Nan Bo was just a small person, it seemed that he was an indispensable medium to communicate with Valkyrie at present, and it was not in his own interests at this stage to provoke him, but if Leng Lingye continued to ask in an aggressive posture, it would inevitably make the whole situation tense again, and this was definitely not a situation that Jiang Baiyuan was willing to see.
Therefore, his seemingly sudden snatching of white actually resolved the two contradictions invisibly, one was between Leng Lingye and Nanbo, and the other was between Jiang Baiyuan and Leng Lingye.
"Actually, I just met Nana today, but she seems to be very good to me, not only saved my life from the Ghost Hunter Corps, but also said that she is my moon keeper, and she didn't say anything else, so I don't know." Nanbo's answer is both true and false, very ambiguous, although it is not nonsense, but it also deliberately leaves a lot of room for the other party's imagination.
"Keeping the moon? What is Moon Watch? I don't think I've heard of it somewhere. This time, Zhang Chehan asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know, Nana didn't say." Nanbo also replied sincerely.
"It doesn't matter what you have to do with it, but it's always right that you can talk to that mouthless beauty inside, right?" Zhang Chehan smiled slightly, and then asked.
"Well, it was Nana who asked me to come out and talk to you on her behalf, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although Nan Bo saw Zhang Chehan for the first time, he couldn't figure out what kind of routine he was for a while, but since the other party showed enough kindness, there was no need for him to be thousands of miles away, so he also followed Zhang Chehan's tone to talk.
"Oh, not to mention that your kid has won the favor of my aunt, and he has such a beautiful beauty, which is really enviable." It may be that seeing Nanbo's attitude softened, Zhang Chehan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder with his hand, as if he was a very familiar friend.
Although Zhang Chehan's actions surprised Nan Bo, it is undeniable that the other party seems to have a natural affinity, and the scale of actions and words is also very good, and he also takes into account the other party's relatively thin body, and does not rely on Nan Bo, and the arm on his shoulder is only symbolic contact, which does not make Nan Bo feel any discomfort, so even Nan Bo, who does not like to have "intimate" contact with people, does not have any disgust.
"We would love to know the whereabouts of an elder, the Dr. Croon who asked Nana to come to us, can you discuss it with the beautiful woman inside and let her answer a few questions for us?" Zhang Chehan said while Nan Bo was struck while the iron was hot.
As soon as Zhang Chehan finished speaking, Nan Bo noticed the eagerness on Jiang Baiyuan's face, the elder Zhang Chehan said should be Jiang Baiyuan's teacher, Nan Bo heard him and Nana mention it before he fell into a coma last night.
"I can ask, but Nana also asked me to ask you about the other half of the thing that you want to play on her personal terminal, and if you don't give it to her, I'm afraid she won't answer your questions." Finally waiting for the other party to ask for his own Nan Bo of course will not let go of the opportunity to make a request, although he wants to mention some conditions that are conducive to finding Xiaobei, but he also knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and now it is more important to consolidate your relationship with Nana first.
"In this way, the things she wants should be on Auntie's side, and it just so happens that Auntie also wants to see you." Zhang Chehan touched his chin and muttered a few words, then turned to Jiang Baiyuan and asked: "Anyway, lunch time is almost here, so Your Highness, let's go back first, let this kid bring Miss Valkyrie to lunch together, but it doesn't matter what she wants, or the question we want to ask, let's say at the table, how about it, so it doesn't seem rude to us." ”
"Well, it's also to blame me for being too anxious, it's really rude to come over and disturb the other party's rest like this, so let's decide, please take me to convey my sincere invitation to Miss Nana, I hope you can have lunch with us at the restaurant." Jiang Baiyuan thought about it for a while, then agreed to Zhang Chehan's proposal and issued a formal invitation to Nanbo.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely convey it, but I'm like this... Uh, it's a little inconvenient to go together. "Although Nan Bo relied on himself to be a child, he always pretended not to understand etiquette, and he didn't bow down when he saw the prince, but Nan Bo, who had read royal etiquette in the dream library, was actually very aware of the strict rules of the royal family, and the banquet invited by the prince himself was of such a high standard, even for a party like Lu Lang, it was an extremely honorable thing, so Nan Bo was still a little flattered by Jiang Baiyuan's formal invitation, but at the same time, he did not forget to take the opportunity to fight for some rights and interests for himself. Raising the handcuffs between his hands, he gestured.
