Chapter 304: Heart-to-heart
Walking through a large area of dense grass and dodging the trees in front of them like lightning, Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue were silent. Both of them clearly had something in mind about what had just happened.
Linglong watched everything from the sidelines, with a faint smile on her face.
After about a minute, Bai Ze finally broke the silence.
"I'm sorry to ask you that kind of question all of a sudden."
In the danger zone where the Scythe of Death could fall at any moment, who would ask such a strange question? There should be no one...
Shangguan Bingxue was silent. Bai Ze knew that she was unhappy, so he simply stopped talking.
However, Shangguan Bingxue said calmly: "It's okay, don't care. ”
Bai Ze looked back for a while, nodded, did not speak, and looked ahead again, his footsteps never stopped.
More than forty minutes passed in a flash.
Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue searched for first-order fierce beasts in an area of more than three hundred square kilometers around the base, but found nothing.
During this time, both men were silent, except for the occasional roar of some wild beasts, and the cold night wind, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of each forward footstep.
Bai Ze's face was expressionless, and his heart was calm. He already knew that even if he searched for a few more hours, he would not encounter a first-order beast.
However, Shangguan Bingxue obviously did not forget the previous topic, and almost an hour later, she brought it up again.
"Why did you ask that kind of question before?" She asked with a slight frown, her eyes staring at Bai Ze's back, full of doubts and vigilance.
Bai Ze didn't look back, and replied without thinking: "I know a person who is very beautiful, prettier than you, but the type is completely different from you." Her hair is dark black, she wears black clothes, and her personality is also very naughty, and she flashed her figure in her mind just now, so she unconsciously asked that question. ”
Shangguan Bingxue raised her eyebrows inadvertently, and when she heard Bai Ze's words, a trace of surprise flashed in her blue eyes.
Although she doesn't like to judge people by their appearance and pays more attention to a person's heart, she also knows that she is beautiful. Even if she doesn't care too much about her appearance, she can still fascinate the men around her.
Shangguan Bingxue knows very well that her beauty is undoubtedly first-class, and I am afraid that there are few women in the world who can compare to her.
Because of her family background, even if she didn't want to, she was often forced to participate in various important social activities, and naturally met many incredibly beautiful women. Although he no longer participated in such activities a few years ago, Shangguan Bingxue has basically come into contact with thousands of handsome men and women.
Because of this, she was surprised that Bai Ze actually knew a woman who was more beautiful than herself. Although I didn't feel offended, I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart because of my experience over the years.
Of course, Shangguan Bingxue didn't know, in fact, Bai Ze's words had already been reserved.
She unconsciously blurted out, "I hate black." ”
Bai Ze was dumbfounded, and subconsciously glanced at his current dress.
Black armor, black cape, dark brown boots, black gloves, black shoulder pads...... The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he said lightly: "Blue is more suitable for you." ”
Although Bai Ze's words seemed to be praising her, for some reason, Shangguan Bingxue felt that he was mocking her.
"What do you mean by that?" For the first time in years, she asked in a slightly irascible tone. "Although I don't like black, dark clothes don't suit me at all."
For the current Shangguan Bingxue, Bai Ze is really speechless.
Where had the eternally rational woman he had seen in the past gone? Where is that reliable woman? Now she is not much different from other adolescent girls.
"Don't you know how everyone in the base gave you the title you came about?" Finally, Bai Ze stopped and turned to look at her.
Shangguan Bingxue also stopped almost at the same time, and his eyes met him. did not answer Bai Ze's question.
How could she not know that those ordinary survivors, even soul evolutionaries, had secretly given her the title of "Ice Princess"? After all, Shangguan Bingxue knows his personality well.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Bai Ze shrugged his shoulders and continued, "This is not a bad thing...... I know that there are people behind me who call me a dictator. However, I think the title of Ice Princess is a good fit for you, not only because of your personality, but also because of your favorite colors and your skills. ”
As with the government of any country, there are those who are dissatisfied with Bai Ze's rule. After all, everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, and a bowl of water is difficult to serve.
Moreover, Bai Ze also realizes that he is far from a perfect leader. He was just a young man in his early twenties.
However, in light of the current world situation, he has done his best. Moreover, he did not force anyone to remain under his hands. Everyone is free to leave. But as long as he ruled, he could only obey the rules of the camp.
As long as the people around him know that everything Bai Ze does is done with good intentions, it is enough...... But even if no one understands, he may continue to do so; After all, this is Bai Ze.
"Probably." Shangguan Bingxue sighed, leaning his delicate back against the trunk of a large tree, which was protected by leather armor. She looked at Bai Ze and asked, "The girl you are talking about, is it your girlfriend?" ”
Maybe it's because of the dark night, maybe it's the dangerous place they are in, which makes them trust each other more, or maybe it's because Shangguan Bingxue has been protected by Bai Ze for a whole day, and the defense in his heart has decreased. The mood has eased a lot, and the atmosphere between the two has become much more intimate.
"She? My girlfriend? Bai Ze's eyes widened, this was really an unexpected question.
He subconsciously glanced at where Linglong was just now, but was surprised again to find that she had disappeared at some point. Bai Ze thought to himself that Linglong should have gone somewhere, because he didn't smell the fragrance of Linglong nearby.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?" ”
Bai Ze couldn't cry or laugh, and stammered a little, "How did you come to this conclusion?" ”
"Just a thought." She shrugged her shoulders with a dignified expression.
Bai Ze sighed, shook his head, and said softly: "She's not my girlfriend, it's more like ...... A good friend I can truly trust, someone I owe a lot. ”
Shangguan Bingxue's eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief.
What kind of person Bai Ze is, she knows it well. A young man who smiles and keeps his distance from everyone in reality, arrogant enough to owe a favor to anyone, but a very powerful ally.
Shangguan Bingxue didn't know who that person was.
I don't know why, her curiosity grew stronger, and she unconsciously asked again: "Is she someone you've known for a long time?" ”
Bai Ze leaned his back against the tree where Shangguan Bingxue was and chuckled, "No...... Actually, I haven't known her for long. ”
Although Shangguan Bingxue might think that Bai Ze and the mysterious girl met a few months ago, Bai Ze couldn't tell her Linglong's identity. So, this secret can only be kept for the time being.
If Shangguan Bingxue had been fighting side by side with him and quickly leveled up and become stronger, as long as she could survive, it would only be a matter of time before she and Linglong met. When the time comes, many things will naturally become clear.
"Was it before I met you?" Shangguan Bingxue tilted his head and looked at him blankly.
Shangguan Bingxue doesn't remember how long ago the last time he had a heart-to-heart with someone.
