The three of them returned to their seats, and the applause was still undaunting. After thanking him many times, Xu Zheng knew that his thank-you gift was a joke, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to get into, and he was so ashamed that even the beast patterns were exposed on his face, but he didn't dare to thank him anymore.

Princess Chilian stood in the middle of the field, unable to advance or retreat. The battle provoked by her, in the midst of cheers and applause, has already been won and lost. Looking at Xu Zheng with resentful eyes, hatred surged towards Xu Zheng like an undercurrent, and the princess Chilian finally took a deep breath, held her head high, and walked back to her seat.

The vicious eyes made Xu Zheng's heart uncomfortable for a while, and he sighed secretly, causing trouble again. A person like Princess Chillian can't stand the slightest grievance, is narrow-minded and arrogant, and is in a high position, so it is really troublesome to provoke this kind of person.

I don't know why, after being reborn, the calm and calm Xu Zheng has long since disappeared, and his personality in this life is the same as that of an impulsive teenager, and the most important thing is to see people who can't get close to him being wronged, and it feels like a reverse scale on his body, who dares to touch it, and those who can't bear it will have a seizure.

However, Xu Zheng does not regret it, in contrast, he just loves Maya, the little princess. The same thing happened again, even if he thought it through, he was afraid that he would still do it. What's so great about being a princess? As a princess, you can casually trample on other people's self-esteem and grab other people's injuries and fall into the ground? This is like pointing at the deaf and mute and scolding the deaf and dumb, and pointing at the blind and scolding the blind. As a royal nobleman, highly educated, his bearing and cultivation should be more excellent and noble than usual, and a princess in the dignified hall acted so aggressively and inferiorly, and now she is frustrated and humiliated. There is nothing to sympathize with.

When I think about it, I feel relieved. Feeling that the princess's malicious eyes were cast covertly from time to time, Xu Zheng raised his head and smiled at the princess, and returned the challenging gaze directly. What do you want to do, just let the horse come, and I'll do it!

Princess Qilian received Xu Zheng's eyes, and she didn't expect that a civilian would have such courage and bearing, so she was slightly stunned, and her eyes became more and more gloomy. Xu Zheng was not afraid, but raised his glass to her. He smiled slightly and made a toasting gesture. The princess pursed her lips. His eyes grew colder and colder.

If you can hate people to death, this world doesn't know how many people will die. Do you want to bite me? If you have the ability, you can come!" Xu Zheng smiled. Happy.

The banquet continued, the band entered, began to play melodious music, and the guests began to move. Many people had already arrived in the arena and started dancing.

Thinking of what Bruce said earlier, there would be girls looking for him to dance, Xu Zheng felt furious, and subconsciously shrank up, burying his head in eating, just hoping to hide behind Lulu. can escape this catastrophe.

I feel someone coming. Xu Zheng didn't raise his head. With a face full of food, he said vaguely: "I can't dance." If you insist on jumping with me, I'll just stomp on your feet!"

The person laughed: "I have never asked a man to dance when I am so big." The only experience I had dancing with men was when my court dance teacher taught me to dance. Why don't we make this an exception for you and dance a song with you? The majestic beast envoy can't even dance, and it will be a shame to say it. ”

Xu Zheng raised his head, and Bruce was looking at him with a smile, squeezing Sadie away and sitting in Sadie's place. Xu Zheng said angrily: "I'm not interested." ”

Bruce raised his wine glass and said sincerely to Xu Zheng, "To you." Thank you!"

"Thanks for what?"

"For my sister, and for the honor of the Samuel family. Thank you for giving her courage, thank you for teaching her that beautiful song, thank you for giving Samuel Royal and Cheng An back face. Maybe it doesn't feel like much, but for us, it's important. ”

Xu Zheng smiled lightly, raised his wine glass and touched it with Bruce, and said, "I know what? I like your sister, if I can have such a sister, I am willing to do tasks for her." I can't look past such a cute little girl, but she has to be bullied because of her damaged throat. ”

"Oh, I like my sister so much, but she's too young, or I could have decided to marry you. How many more years will you wait?" Bruce snickered.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Zheng's face suddenly turned red.

Bruce laughed: "This castle is my home, where are you going to roll?" At least think about it, my sister is pretty good. ”

Xu Zheng was ashamed and angry, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"

"Okay, good!" Bruce comforted Xu Zheng, he didn't expect this guy to be so tender, but it was funny. And he said, "If you really like Maya so much, why don't you come and be my brother?" ”

Xu Zheng raised his head in surprise and said, "What are you talking nonsense?"

Bruce said, "I'm sincere. Come and be my brother. The second prince has been dead for a long time, so it's up to you to fight this gap. ”

Xu Zheng's mouth full of wine immediately squirted out, and he was shocked: "Are you crazy?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy. The first time I saw you, I liked it very much. I always feel

There is a kind of atmosphere, which makes people feel very intimate. You know, you give me the image of the earth? ”

Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "Ridiculous." It's ridiculous. I'll be your brother as a civilian, can you just talk about it? I'm so good, you are a commoner? Say you recognize your brother, you recognize your brother, you're a Samuel royal family, can you use your brains...... Besides, friends are important in knowing each other, if you and I treat each other sincerely, we don't necessarily have to call each other brothers, or have to worship and fellowship. Isn't that bad? You be your eldest prince, and I will be my little commoner, a friend, a friend, and nothing will change. Do you still remember what I said that night? The most precious thing in life is to know oneself, and the four seas are suitable for flesh and blood. ”

Bruce shook his head and said, "Xu Zheng, you think too simply. I still know you a little bit these days. Usually, you have no desires and no desires, you just want to be an ordinary person and live happily for the rest of your life, don't you?"

—

Xu Zheng nodded.

Bruce said: "It's just that if you want to live an ordinary and happy life, it's easy to think about, but it's not easy to do." ”

Xu Zheng was about to speak, but Bruce waved his hand to stop him and said, "Listen to me." Xu Zheng, you are not stupid, on the contrary, you are frighteningly smart, full of whimsical ideas and strange knowledge, which is extremely admirable. However, your character is flawed, you will only be close to people, you will not guard against people, and you always think about the ordinary, but everything you do is extraordinary, you want to be low-key, but you will always stand out. Am I wrong? Before this, there was no such person as you in the imperial capital, but as soon as you came to the capital, your skills were slowly revealed, three fifth-order brewers circled around you, and then there were snacks that were becoming more and more popular, followed by the name of the Hundred Beast Envoys, and tonight with a song that no one had ever heard, and Princess Chilian had a vicious fight. Do you know that when you are singing, dancing and laughing in the audience, your brilliance is more than a hundred times more dazzling than Maya! Everyone knows that you taught this song, and everyone knows that without you, Maya would not be able to sing! It is precisely because you hold the little princess's hand that she has given her confidence and courage to sing that song bravely. As if to describe it in a nutshell, Maya is just a small star, but you are like the sun, showing a brilliance that is so dazzling that people can't look at it directly. ”

Xu Zheng was stunned, and muttered after a while: "I have no intention of doing this." ”

"I know. Bruce said, "You do everything like that." It was unintentional, but the final result always made the brilliance of the body bloom. You're a strange man, talented, but you're a pool of water in terms of human sophistication, so pure that everybody wants to try to defile it. If I'm not mistaken, you've already set up a lot of enemies. At least, the princess Chilian in front of her is one of them. ”

"Cut!" Xu Zheng snorted: "I'm afraid she won't make it?"

Bruce smiled impatiently: "Yes, of course you are not afraid of her." I don't doubt that you have the ability to protect yourself, but the problem is that you have no defense, no sense of self-protection! You know what? Many invincible heroes have died from cold arrows and plots. Just like Cheng'an's saying: no matter how strong the earth dragon is, it can't compete with the teeth of a poisonous snake. Without a sense of self-protection, how can you face the conspiracy of people with intentions? Xu Zheng, your heart is defenseless. ”

Xu Zheng was speechless. Uncle Carlo said the same thing. But I always listen to it but I don't pay much attention to it. Why can't we treat each other sincerely, and have to calculate and hurt each other? Life is only a short hundred years, and every minute and second is so precious, why can't we live happily and simply?

Xu Zheng, who has had the experience of rebirth, knows the preciousness of life the most in his past and present lives, and subconsciously always deliberately forgets the dark and negative things in the world, and does not want to waste his limited life on meaningless things, he just wants to live a good life, experience everything, and love everyone worthy of love.

Therefore, he took the complexity of the human heart into account. It highlights a more important thing: not everyone can be born again and understand the preciousness of life.

"So. Bruce smiled slightly: "You can't defend against people, I'll help you defend against it." Come and be my little brother. I like you, and I want to take you under the wings of the Samuel royal and protect you. After that, he stretched out his hand and put it on Xu Zheng's shoulder, squeezed it gently, and said, "Okay?"
