Chapter 44: Su Hexiang
This behavior of Prunella vulgaris has a name, which is called 'retreat as advance'.
It's just that although he chose to 'retreat', Ma Lin still didn't give him half a chance to 'advance'.
--He directly and resolutely rejected the quid pro quo of the summer grass, but repeatedly promised to present another Black Iron class war puppet within ten days, and led the four academy students who had no sense of existence from beginning to end, and left this civilian dormitory.
It is worth mentioning that before Ma Lin left, there was an episode between him and Prunella - and thus another incident.
At that time, when this glorious nobleman from Isrud Island was about to leave, as soon as he turned around, he stopped as if he remembered something, and then turned his head slightly, and some complicated and unwilling voices came into the ears of Xia Kucao.
"Thanks to you, when I rebuild the small world, I will correct the sixteen mistakes you pointed out in my perception of the world, so—"
He paused, and then said categorically-
"At that time, I must have been stronger than now!"
Xia Kucao was slightly stunned when she heard this, first lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then showed a knowing smile, and then responded with some playfulness: "You actually want to ask, the dozen or so 'wrongs' I pointed out to you...... Is it really 'wrong'?"
Even if he couldn't witness the other party's face, Xia Kucao could still imagine how depressed Ma Lin's face would be at this moment, so he smiled slightly and decisively made up for it-
"Guess?"
......
Until the figure of the other party completely disappeared, Xia Kucao stood in place, sighing for a while.
What do you feel?
Naturally, he lamented the shamelessness of the other party.
It stands to reason that if Xia Kucao wins, he will have the right to obtain all of Ma Lin's personal property, but for the sake of Ziling, or for his own curiosity, he chose to retreat, choosing to only use the war puppet as his trophy, and then immediately put forward a request to exchange information, so in his opinion, the other party should also have a little gratitude, so as to reveal some information.
Or, when the other party saw Prunella's plan, he should also refuse this pretended mercy from the commoners with the inherent arrogance and disdain of the nobility, so in a fit of anger, he really offered all his property with both hands, and then with him snorting coldly, his head was raised but his heart was dripping blood, and Prunella did not suffer any loss.
It's just that Ma Lin is indeed a nobleman and even shows a certain amount of responsibility, but he is really not stupid, so he not only categorically rejected all of Xia Kucao's requests, but also promised to end the matter with another war puppet as if he admitted it, and even deliberately tested himself before leaving......
Acting like this, it is naturally very shameless, and Prunella has to sigh to herself, and secretly slander herself, so she can only let the other party go.
The reason why he acted like this was because he was in a good mood because he had indeed won, and he thought that the last knife he had made up for was enough for Ma Lin to have a headache for a long time, so he didn't want to worry about the slightest thing with the other party.
- In short, he is happy, so you can go as soon as you like, and we are not uncommon to stop you.
......
Just as Xia Fucao was extremely proud, Su Hexiang outside the field jumped over like a curious baby, raised her little head, and asked him with some confusion: "What did you tell him just now, why are you so happy?"
I don't know what thoughts are turning in the heads of this little girl's family, but I saw that she suddenly pulled Miss Ziling, who was walking with her to the prunella grass, with a very bright and lovely face, and pretended to warn fiercely.
"You're not going to make any more deal with him, are you, I warn you, don't mess with Ziling's brains!"
'This little girl!'
Xia Kucao scolded secretly, thinking that I really wanted to use her brains, but even so, it was just out of curiosity, how could I get involved with Ma Lin?
-- Moreover, even if an agreement is reached, what is the meaning of the word 'again'?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand very unceremoniously but also very naturally, and flicked at Su Hexiang's clean and flat little brain, and snorted very angrily.
"You little girl, you think so much!"
Su Hexiang was a little flustered when she was hit like this, she covered her gradually reddening head and stared at the summer withered grass, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.
In fact, Xia Kucao is far more flustered than her, his actions are completely subconscious, maybe the previous duel is too profound - it is his first victory in the true sense, and it is also the opportunity for him to step into the void from the void to the void, so at this moment he is a little too relaxed, and his self-control is not as good as before, and he actually played a girl's head without hesitation.
You must know that because of Bai Ziren's relationship and the forbidden canon he carries, Xia Kucao already lacks a good impression of the Holy See, even if his vigilance against Su Hexiang has been let go at this time, but the other party is a woman, and he is not a white quartz, how could he make such a somewhat frivolous move when they meet for the second time?
Just did everything, looking at Su Hexiang's stunned appearance in front of him, he somehow remembered that the other party jumped out with a small face to meddle in things, but was forced to tears by Ma Lin with a roll of words, and even thought of the other party's helpless appearance with a tangled and helpless face, and even wanted to save him at the last moment of the duel.
So his heart was soft, thinking that he had despised Ma Lin for bullying the little girl, but his performance, strictly speaking, seemed to be able to be regarded as bullying?
Bullied a bright little girl who loves to pretend to be an adult?
So he felt a little sorry again, and his face turned as red as the other party's head, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand, touched the other party's little head, and touched it back and forth - I have to say that the height difference between the two sides made this move of Prunella extremely natural.
"I'm sorry. ”
Xia Kucao felt that he was a little dizzy and his head was a little dull, so he didn't realize that his current behavior was actually even more inappropriate, but his mouth was a very sincere apology.
"I really didn't mean to. ”
His other hand habitually scratched his head, and in embarrassment, he couldn't help but joke with a joke that only he could understand: "You can't even beat your father, do you?"
Su Hexiang was just flute before, but when Xia Kucao's hand stroked back and forth on her little head, it had further become stupid, but as soon as Xia Kucao's teasing words entered her ears, she reacted, hurriedly slid a step, waved her hand and knocked down the hand that was still moving on her head, and her white jade-like neck instantly became red, and the ruddy spread all the way, and it didn't take long for her whole face to be as red as if it had been steamed.
Taking a step back, she stomped her foot hard, blushing and coquettishly, "What are you doing!"
"And my father naturally taught me a lesson!"
She said this in a serious childlike tone, but then lowered her head, not knowing whether to hide the red glow on her face or hide the gloom in her heart, her voice was a little soft, a little glutinous......
“...... But then...... Soon...... I'm going to be an orphan......"
The prunella grass over there, who had also just reacted, was still a little at a loss at first, but then when she heard Su Hexiang's words, she couldn't help but feel a little softer.
Oh, yes...... How could a little girl from a normal family be sent to such a serious and rigid place as the Holy See?
It's just that this thought, his mood has undergone a subtle change, pity the 'incense' and cherish the jade, and then look at Suhe's 'incense', and feel that the other party is a little different-
She lowered her head, so Xia Kucao could only see the other party's shy neck, and noticed that even her small and clear ears seemed to glow red, but maybe it was the gloom of her heart, Su Hexiang's long and curled eyelashes were trembling slightly, and every slight tremor was like a feather, putting a beautiful arc under her eyelids, and dancing gently like a butterfly feather with her breathing.
Not to mention the warm early spring sunshine will have a black and beautiful waist-length girl with long hair set off the beautiful and beautiful, can only be called bright and delicate facial features and small figure is undoubtedly not the most beautiful woman Xia Withered grass has seen, but its clenched fists and gloomy and remembrative demeanor make him feel a little distressed.
So Xia Kucao, like all boys, stretched out her head a little stupidly and asked, "Why don't you call back?"
Then he comforted him a little awkwardly: "It's okay, I'm also an orphan, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Stupid! What's the problem?!
Miss Ziling on the side sighed in her heart, unlike Su Hexiang, she is a girl who grew up in a civilian area, although she looks extremely young due to malnutrition, in fact, she is one year younger than Su Hexiang and Xia Withered Grass in front of her, and the sensitivity and precociousness unique to women are ...... She was speechless at this stupid reaction of Prunella vulgaris.
So she looked at Su Hexiang with some anticipation, guessing the other party's possible reaction.
Su Hexiang did not sneer like the Huaichun girl in the literary work, and then laughed softly with a little shame and joy and kept the prunella grass in her heart from then on, but took a step forward unceremoniously, flicked her fingers, stood on tiptoe while harvesting the prunella grass and screamed in pain, and touched the other party's head very seriously - just like those fussy aunts who stroked and beat the watermelon in front of the hawker stall to determine whether it was ripe.
But she was not angry, for she laughed happily after this series of movements, and her smile was as innocent as the smile of any girl of her age, so that the withered grass, who was holding her head and smiling bitterly, seemed to see a light in her face.
A very clear light.
In this way, it is a momentary heartbeat.
(Say two sentences, one is that this chapter is a chapter that I want to write for a long time, because it describes feelings, so I went through it over and over again, and I didn't make any changes except for checking for typos, if there are any inconsistencies, please bear with me, you can point it out in the book review area, but I always think that describing emotional dramas should be the most sincere one at a time.) )
(The second is that the pants push will end after two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and there will be no recommendation next week except for Sanjiang potential, which shows my results...... It's not good, but I'll keep two shifts a day as usual, and the time is also half past ten in the morning and half past eight in the evening, hoping that book lovers who are chasing books will give support. )
(PS,The so-called support is to ask for recommendations、Collections and book reviews.,Especially book reviews.,Thank you.") )
