Chapter 46: There are always trade-offs
In Su Jingqian's seemingly playful smile, how many unspeakable complex emotions were hidden, Lin Wanwan didn't know, but on his cold thin lips, she clearly saw a little imperceptible self-deprecation.
She stared deeply into his eyes, trying to discern something from them, but found that at this time, the bottom of his eyes was as deep as thick ink that could not be dissolved, and it seemed unfathomable, and it was impossible to peek into the slightest emotional ups and downs inside.
Her wine-dyed red lips slowly hook up a beautiful arc, like a manzhu sawa blooming under the moonlit night, independent but radiant, full of charm.
Su Jingqian's eyebrows moved slightly, the playful smile on his lips disappeared instantly, he stared at her with a complicated expression, but found that the more charming she smiled, the colder her eyes became. Like the bright moon in the sky, beautiful but unreachable.
He looked away, no longer looking at her, the night mist as faint as green smoke seemed to linger in his eyes, and under those deep eyes, there was an imperceptible emotion.
Seeing him dodging his gaze, Lin Wanwan muttered, "Su Jin, I really can't understand, why can you have so many faces, which one is the real you?" It's like, you know that I have similar interests with Luo Huaizhou, and I brought him to see him, just to let me make friends with him, so that I can protect him in the future, so that you can do it without scruples. Maybe I can persuade him to withstand the fatal blow of your 'confidant'. ”
Su Jingqian looked straight ahead in silence, his face was extremely calm, as if there was no turmoil in his heart.
Lin Wanwan picked up the wine jar that he threw aside, raised his head and took a big sip, his eyes were misty and confused, as if he had seen through everything, and as if he was at a loss because of confusion, his expression was unpredictable, and he looked complicated and difficult to understand.
"When Luo Huaizhou told us that you know martial arts, I was still a little puzzled. It stands to reason that with your plan, how can you let others know that a Qinglou boss can do martial arts? It turns out that you have long found out that this cynical Prince Lu admires the people of the rivers and lakes the most, so you designed such a good show to make him worship you. And you pretended to leave without leaving your name, just so that he would respect you more when you meet again in Nanling City in the future, so as to take the opportunity to make friends with him. With the talisman of Prince Lu, you can get to know more dignitaries through him, get the news you want from them, and your Xuanji Tower will naturally be able to do well in Nanling City. The most important thing is that no one has the courage to check your Xuanji Tower, because no one would have thought that behind the Xuanji Tower that Prince Lu took care of was the No. 1 Assassination Pavilion in the rivers and lakes. ”
Listening to her tell everything, he just glanced at her lightly, and his calm eyes seemed to be indifferent after all the vicissitudes of life, and when he opened his mouth, he was also light-hearted, "Since you know everything, why ask again." ”
The acquiescence between his words made Lin Wanwan's heart suddenly feel mixed, and she raised her eyes to look at him, and a few wisps of resentment suddenly flashed in her complicated eyes, a little puzzled and a little confused, "So, why do you want to hurt and think about how to make up for it at the same time?" It's obvious that you are calculating against him, but you want to protect him. ”
A hint of gloom flashed in his deep eyes, and then he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips silently.
After being silent for a long time, he said quietly, "He is simple-minded, and he is not involved in the court, so he shouldn't-"
Before Su Jingqian's words were finished, she was interrupted by Lin Wanwan's clear voice, her tone was full of mockery, and her words seemed bitter and mean, "Yes, you also know that Luo Huaizhou is simple-minded, and he is even moved by the events of that year to this day." But when you calculated him, you didn't have any mercy. ”
"Lin Wanwan, since you have entered the game, you should know that it is the norm to cheat in the chess game, and being soft-hearted will only make you show your flaws, and if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game."
He slowly raised his eyes, his voice was full of coldness, cold and deep, and an almost sharp dark light passed silently from the bottom of his dark eyes, like a sharp blade glowing with cold light, piercing the night in a blink of an eye.
Lin Wanwan's heart sank, as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the chill spread from the depths of her heart, eroding her limbs and bones. Her star-studded eyes gradually dimmed, like a broken streamer, flashing with disappointment that could not be concealed in the fall.
"The game of chess is more important to you than anyone else, is it? Even if you have been a person who has been in your heart for nearly six years, you can do whatever it takes to figure out how to ruin your country. ”
"In this life, there will always be trade-offs."
He stared straight ahead with deep eyes, his expression was indifferent and cold, the emperor's cold state and unfathomable unfathomability were revealed in him, there was no emotion, only a sense of oppression from above, and the looming fierceness in his eyes.
"So, he deserves to be the one who was abandoned?" Looking up at the coldness in his eyes, Lin Wanwan's heart seemed to have been cut open, and the pain of being swallowed by nightmares poured out like a flood, wrapping up the memories of the past, crushing her sad heart again and again.
The emperor's heart, after all, is shallow.
Her eyes that could not hide her sadness were filled with a faint mist, revealing a touch of deep hatred, and her lips and teeth trembled a little uncontrollably, her voice was extremely soft, but it seemed so clear in this silent and boundless night.
She asked, "Just like me?" ”
Her voice was not as clear as before, it was very light and soft, with a careful and stubborn temptation, but to him, it was like a sharp knife, which made his heart tremble, and he felt an irrepressible pain.
He clenched his fingers tightly, only to feel a surge of blood in his chest, and the fishy sweetness rushed up from his throat, and then he couldn't hold it back anymore, and a mouthful of blood flowed down his thin lips.
"Su ...... Su Jin?! ”
For Su Jingqian, who suddenly knelt down with his chest covered, Lin Wanwan was stunned, and immediately supported him after reacting, staring at the extraordinarily conspicuous blush under his lips, frowning and asking, "...... Injured? ”
“…… No problem. Su Jingqian frowned, a thin layer of cold sweat floated on his forehead, and the corners of his chin and lips were tense, as if he was enduring a great pain.
His breathing was heavy and rapid, his face was extraordinarily pale and translucent, as if he would disappear at any time, and even the thin red lips that were usually pale red became bloodless. ”
"Where's the doctor on this island?" Su Jingqian felt a little funny when he looked at her struggling to hold herself, and just wanted to laugh, his breathing became rapid again, and he gasped several times before he said weakly, "Besides, it's useless to have a doctor, I suffered internal injuries." ”
Lin Wanwan tried to pull him up again to no avail, and said breathlessly: "But ......"
Before she finished speaking, she sat on the ground with an unstable center of gravity, she couldn't care about the pain on her body, and hurriedly went to support Su Jingqian.
I only heard Su Jingqian sigh very lightly, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Don't toss, help me sit down." ”
Lin Wanwan supported him, carefully helped him to sit on the ground, and was so tired that he sat down beside him.
Seeing her worried look, the corners of his mouth curved weakly, "Don't worry, I'll just lie down for a while." ”
"Lie down for a while? But this ......" She looked at the weeds on the ground, he loved cleanliness so much, he didn't even want to sit just now, this was going to lie on it directly?
Su Jingqian looked at her with a tangled face, felt very funny in his heart, and said softly to her: "Don't you want me to lie on this?" Straighten your legs. ”
"Huh?" Lin Wanwan was still thinking about whether to find someone to carry him back to the yard, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she obediently straightened her legs, and then, in her stunned gaze, she saw Su Jingqian fall on her lap without hesitation, closed her eyes directly, and didn't move.
"You-"
"Well, don't move, just let me lie down for a while."
