Chapter 14: The Mountains

Xia Li was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, not only was the fire extinguished, but his heart was also half cold.

She is not stupid, not to mention that She Bao has already said it so bluntly.

Was Joey protecting her too well? Let her never know the sinister nature of this world.

No, it may also be because they come from the future, so they have always felt that these people are as empty as described in history textbooks, and they also have the pride of standing on the shoulders of giants and overlooking everything, and even the peak power of this era is not regarded by themselves.

But the She Leopard in front of him is not the classmate who licked the dog in the past, let alone the infatuated kind of Qiao Ba, and if he is not careful, he may be ruined.

Now that he was awakened by She Bao's words, Xia Li realized how stupid and ridiculous it was that he had no fearlessness to rely on.

When a person has a shadow of awe in his heart, he will correct his attitude and know how to scrutinize and weigh instead of going on a rampage.

Xia Li felt helpless and aggrieved for the first time when she came to the Republic of China, she wanted to cry, but she also knew that it was a bad wolf in front of her, and she would not let her go because of a few tears, and now only she could help her.

Xia Li held back her tears and said respectfully and apologetically: "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now, but I really don't want to be with you......"

She Bao smiled in his heart when he heard this, Xia Li's answer was expected by him, and now his image in Xia Li's eyes was probably more unbearable than that of the male protagonist of the original book.

But the original male protagonist has licked a good face that he hasn't had for a long time, but he has it in himself, this is a kind of transcendence, isn't it?

Sure enough, this kind of woman can't get used to it.

"Yes, Miss Xia Li has improved, although she still doesn't know how to obey, but now she is much more comfortable talking to you, but your answer is not what I want...... Do you know what it means to be with me? ”

She Bao's words and tone made Xia Li feel humiliated, but he had to grit his teeth and endure it because of fear in his heart.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know what it means, but I know there's no love between us, I don't love you, and you just like my skin, so it won't end well together......"

Xia Li plucked up his courage, blinked his watery eyes, and pitifully faced She Leopard, trying to arouse his sympathy, after all, this trick was invincible before.

However, Xia Li's pitiful appearance was directly ignored by She Leopard.

"Haha, love...... Does Miss Xia Li know how ridiculous these two words are? This is a world of cannibalism, you only see the prosperity and comfort of Liuzhou, but you don't know how many people die every day because of the war outside, and even if this Liuzhou, comfort only belongs to a few people. ”

"Miss Xia Li may think it is strange to say this, but fortunately you met me, although you will be sent to my bed as long as I want, but I just didn't do it, because I have always been very sorry for the jade."

"Maybe you prefer the sons and daughters downstairs who are chasing you, and their so-called gentlemanly demeanor, but you don't know that if it weren't for Yiyi to protect you, you would have already become the plaything of a young master downstairs, and maybe even belong to more than one person."

Looking at Xia Li's trembling body and pale face, a trace of unbearability flashed in She Leopard's heart, after all, no matter how arrogant Xia Li was, he was just a half-grown child who hadn't stepped out of the campus.

But She had to do it.

Xia Li is a princess with a sick nature, if she doesn't see the reality thoroughly, I'm afraid she will always live in her original concept, and the flower shell of She Leopard can only be far away.

Secondly, if he can't recognize the sinister nature of this world and adapt to the rules of this world, then Xia Li is not worthy of being his woman no matter how good-looking and attractive she is.

After all, She Bao is not a good gentleman, and he has no obligation to be a nanny for Xia Li like the male protagonist of the original book.

However, it is better to be cheap than to be cheap, if Xia Li can't make changes in the end no matter what, Xia Li will become his forbidden ......

However, She Bao's words made Xia Li doubt his own perception of the world, especially when he made up what She Bao said, it was better to live than to die......

"No...... No, ...... "Xia Li is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his life has been peaceful, and at this moment, he can't stand anymore because of great fear, and he sits on the ground by the wall, and he doesn't even know that he is in the spring.

"Won't anything?"

"Fake, what you say is fake......" The tears couldn't be stopped any longer, flowing down Xia Li's cheeks, flowing down the jaw, and finally pooling into a pool on the collarbone.

"It's really fake, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Xia Li said stubbornly: "Even if it's true, I don't want to be with you, let me go......"

She Bao smiled as if he had expected it: "It's not up to you to say that you're not together, but I can give you a chance." ”

Xia Li's almost desperate eyes finally had a little light: "What a chance......

She Bao said very seriously: "I'll let you see the real ugliness of this Liuzhou City, and don't you want love?" How about a bet? ”

Xia Li was a little helpless, love was just her rejection of She Bao's words, she wanted to tell She Bao that she was only seventeen years old, she just wanted to go home, and she didn't want to fall in love, but she knew that it was useless to say it.

What's more, there was finally hope, Xia Li naturally wanted to seize it: "What are you betting on?" ”

"From now on, as long as there is someone who is willing to be with you regardless of everything, or protect you unconditionally, and can hold on for half a month, I will give you freedom and no longer entangle, if you don't have you, how about honestly following me?"

"Of course, if you can change your mind halfway, I'm welcome to ......"

Xia Li gritted his teeth and interrupted: "Impossible, I agree to bet, I hope you can let me go when the time comes." ”

When She Bao heard this, he immediately promised: "Of course, there is no need to lie to you with my identity, but there must be at least a deadline, otherwise when you are old, no one has insisted on chasing you for half a month, and I haven't eaten it, so wouldn't it be a loss?" How do you see two months? ”

"Two months is two months! I just ask Young Marshal She to keep his promise and let the little girl go when the time comes. Xia Li held back her tears, for fear that She Bao would regret it.

She Bao didn't answer again, just walked in front of Xia Li and leaned down.

Xia Li thought he was going to do something, but he just picked up the matching gun.

When She Leopard walked out of the room, Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was wet with cold sweat just after taking a shower, and slowly leaned against the wall and walked to the bathroom.

In fact, Xia Li wanted to refuse She Leopard's game, but She Leopard's words were not in vain, at least she understood at this time that she had no right to refuse, after all, the two sides of the gambling game were not equal from the beginning.

As the weaker party, she can only be like a marionette, doing what She Bao said, the only hope is that someone in the group of sons downstairs really loves her.

However, Xia Li is very confident about this, after all, from childhood to adulthood and even in this old era, the most important thing around her is licking dogs.

However, the naïve Xia Li didn't know that in this war-torn world, even if it was as calm as Liuzhou City, there was an undercurrent, as the so-called high and dangerous, civilians might be able to survive and steal their lives, but the powerful sons and daughters of Liuzhou City might be crushed if they were not careful.

And even in such an environment, there is sincerity! There is also love! But it's too cheap, and it's the most untested, and even the children of the high-ranking families are not as good as civilians in this regard, after all, there are too many things that are more important than sincerity and love......

What's more, from beginning to end, Xia Li thought that he had found a glimmer of life, but in fact, he was just falling for She Leopard's strategy to delay the army, and he was willing to slowly fall into the big net he weaved.

But this net is also a double-edged sword, and when it breaks free, it will either grow like a reborn or fall into the abyss......

……

She Leopard rushed to the grandstand on the second floor, where there was still a Qiao Ba waiting, people were desperate when they were about to succeed, and they were most likely to collapse, and Qiao Ba's role in Xia Li was like this, this was also She Bao's last resort.

Of course, the premise is that Xia Li can hold out until then.

She Bao sat down again and looked at Qiao Ba with a sad face: "I don't know how Uncle Qiao Ba thinks about it?" ”

Qiao Ba sighed when he heard this: "Don't persuade me anymore, even if I can't pursue Miss Xia Li, I don't want to force her, and I don't want to become a wicked person in her heart." ”

She Leopard laughed in his heart when he heard this, how similar is this to the original male protagonist, just because you are full of servile licking dogs and still want to get a beauty?

She Bao suddenly smiled: "Blame me for not making it clear, I know that Eighth Uncle Qiao doesn't want to destroy the glorious image in the hearts of beauties, but how can my thoughts be so simple and rude?" Uncle Qiao can rest assured, in my plan, Uncle Qiao can just be himself......"

Seeing She Leopard in his chest, Qiao Ba also became interested: "Oh? Can you elaborate on the nephew? ”

"Uncle Qiao, do you know what is the story routine about men pursuing women the most since ancient times, whether in drama or romance?"

Qiao Ba's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Heroes save beauty? But after thinking about it, Qiao Ba hesitated again: "Wouldn't it be too cliché, and Miss Xia Li has Yiyi to protect who would dare to make a mistake?" If we find someone to coerce, will it be too deliberate? ”

She Bao smiled and said, "Naturally, it won't be as simple as in the play......

She Bao looked directly at Qiao Ba's eyes: "If a beauty is in trouble, there will be a hero to save her, cliché and deliberate just because the difficulty of a beauty is too small and not desperate enough, Uncle Qiao might as well think about it again, what is the biggest difficulty in the world, or the most difficult mountain to overcome?" ”

"Physical illness, the life of the parents ......," Qiao Ba replied while thinking.

"Haha, Eighth Uncle Qiao is worthy of growing up in a big family, you don't have to guess, you can't guess even if you guess it all night."

She Leopard's words turned sharply, and his eyes flickered: "The most insurmountable mountain in the world...... It's power! ”
