Chapter 97
Hua Shan knew that his relationship with Song Jingchen had been at a stalemate for a long time. If it continued, it would only break down completely.
It's not that he doesn't want to reconcile, it's just that he has too many concerns.
In the past, he just wanted to live a carefree and comfortable life and never thought about really falling in love with someone.
By the time he truly realized this, it was too late and he couldn't let go.
Perhaps this is the terrible thing about the gambler's game. It will make a person who has no attachment develop many desires for no reason.
The will to win, the will to survive, or the passion for love and hate...
If he simply liked Song Jingchen, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
The love that far exceeded liking for each other led to the fact that every night when they slept in each other's arms, he would uncontrollably think about the future.
The result of thinking all night long is nothing more than that there is no future.
He and Song Jingchen are both players in the gambler's game. He can always protect Song Jingchen from harm until the day he enters the Easter Egg Game.
But what comes after that?
If he can't get out, Song Jingchen will have to face the torture of playing games alone for two or three years.
And based on his understanding of his wife, there is a high probability that she will enter the Easter egg game with him.
Huasan couldn't bear it and was reluctant to let it go.
Fortunately, they have never been tied into a marital relationship. As the two separated, Song Jingchen's dependence on him gradually dissipated.
Despite this process, all he could feel was immense pain and irritability, and he even had the idea of dragging Song to death with him.
After all, he has been selfish for more than twenty years. What does it matter if he is selfish again?
But when he made up his mind and saw Song Jingchen, all his evil thoughts were shattered by those aggrieved eyes.
Liking is possession, it is a demand without regard for the consequences, while love is tolerance and compromise, it is his last concealment.
It’s not that he couldn’t explain things clearly to Song Jingchen, but even after explaining it clearly, they couldn’t change any facts.
It would only make Song Jingchen, like him, fall into endless anxiety and pain.
"You haven't really fallen in love with someone, you don't fucking understand."
Fu Heng took a long breath, his eyes fixed on the young man not far away.
Jiang Hanyu, who was standing next to him, also looked in that direction. He was in a rare good mood and did not refute. He just said lightly:
"Hmm, I don't understand."
Huasan was slightly surprised and turned to look at him.
"You've been a little weird lately."
Jiang Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's so strange about that? Or are you uncomfortable when I don't argue with you?"
Fu Heng chuckled, "I'm a jerk."
"Hanyu."
Fu Hengyi suddenly called out the man's name with a serious expression.
"Yeah." Jiang Hanyu responded concisely.
"If I really can't get out... then I'll ask you to take good care of Xiaojing."
Fu Heng felt very heavy-hearted as he said these words again and again.
He knew that even if he didn't say this, Jiang Hanyu would still protect Song Jingchen to some extent.
After all, Song Jingchen's cousin is the vice-captain of the Demon Fang, and Jiang Hanyu has been worried about his teammates.
And he said it again now just to seek psychological comfort.
Jiang Hanyu glanced at him calmly, and said with a smile:
"I'm the one you've entrusted your widowhood to?"
"Fu Hengyi, he's not a three-year-old child who needs care, not to mention..."
"He will meet new people in the future, so you don't need to worry about him."
Jiang Hanyu did not agree, which was completely within Huashan's expectations.
After all, men are always ungrateful and heartless. He will not feel any extra sympathy for Song Jingchen just because of the little bit of feelings he has for her.
But Huasan's expression changed after hearing his last words.
"Newcomer? New to what?!" Fu Hengyi shouted almost gritting his teeth.
Jiang Hanyu smiled, "What do you think?"
"The old cannot go away before the new can come. Those who planted the trees will enjoy the shade. The next one will always be better."
The man added fuel to the fire without making a sound, and found it extremely amusing to see Huasan's face becoming increasingly ugly.
"You don't think Xiao Song can't let you go, do you? He might be more receptive than you think."
Huasan was completely confused by his words and burned with jealousy: "How dare he!"
"Why should I be afraid? You're going to die anyway." Jiang Hanyu added ruthlessly, "Why would a dead man like you argue with a living person?"
The flower umbrella didn't say anything, but the umbrella in his hand sensed that its owner's emotions were out of control, and suddenly changed shape in his hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Hanyu sneered, "Want to take action?"
It's not like he had never fought with Fu Hengyi before. Often, one of them would get angry while talking.
If the angry person was Jiang Hanyu, Huasan would have a hard time.
And if the person who got angry was Fu Hengyi, then he was completely asking for trouble.
It was an established fact that he couldn't beat Jiang Hanyu, but some people just refused to believe it.
Huasan didn't do anything, and he rarely controlled his temper.
Because Jiang Hanyu's words enlightened him a lot. He couldn't bear the fact that after he left, there would be someone new around Song Jingchen again.
A man who was better than him and more loved by Song Jingchen. When he was mentioned in the future, it was just a joke about having a scumbag ex.
Fu Heng couldn't even think about that scene, he couldn't let either of them go.
Love is so great, but he is just a selfish despicable person.
Yi Tu didn't chat with Song Jingchen for long before the latter was called away by the members of the Seventh Star team.
Then he noticed that the conversation between Jiang Hanyu and Hua Shan had also ended.
Watching Huasan's hurried departure, Yitu seemed lost in thought.
Maybe it wasn't the members of the Seventh Star Team who called Song Jingchen away, but the Spade Queen Umbrella.
Yitu wasn't quite sure, so he simply stopped caring about it.
He was just about to go find Xu Heng and the others. Not long ago, Xu Heng sent him their location so that he could go there at any time.
Just as he was about to leave, a woman with shoulder-length black hair and a school skirt called him.
The girl has a fair face and neat bangs, and looks very young.
She smiled shyly at Yitu, clasping her hands together and looking a little nervous.
"Hello, Queen of Hearts, I'm Hua Man, the captain of Tuberose."
Yitu stopped and thought about the reminder message.
"I remember you."
Hua Man is not only the captain of the Tuberose team, but also a throne player, Jack of Clubs.
Because the Queen and the King have a strong suppression power over the Knights, there are few Jacks who can fight alone, and Hua Man is no exception.
Tuberose is a subsidiary team of Lieqi, while Huaman is the only Jack of the Night King.
Yitu didn't know why Huaman came, but it was most likely that he was following the instructions of the Plum Blossom King.
"I didn't expect the Queen of Hearts to still remember me. You should believe that I have no ill intentions."
Hua Man's voice is thin and soft, like a harmless little lamb.
"If possible, I'd like to form an alliance with your Nightingale. After all, we all dislike the Queen of Spades' overstepping boundaries, don't we?"
Hearing this, Yitu smiled faintly, "Your words were taught by the Night King, right?"
Hua Man was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red instantly.
"H-How do you know..."
"We just want to make friends with you!" Hua Man explained hurriedly, "We don't mean anything else!"
Yitu nodded, trying to relax the little lamb in front of him.
He didn't expect that what he said would make Hua Man so nervous.
"It's not impossible to make friends, but it would be more sincere if we talked face to face."
The meaning of Yi Tu's words was very clear. He wanted the Night King to talk to him in person instead of sending his subordinates to test him.
Hua Man nodded hesitantly and whispered, "I will convey your message to Plum Blossom King..."
"But, are you really not going to consider joining forces with us? Only then will Huasan dare not touch you."
Yitu paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, confident and calm.
"He can't touch me."
Hua Man hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something else: "But..."
Seeing the game panel with messages constantly popping up in front of him, Yitu had no choice but to say in a tough tone:
"Hua Man, do you think I will be attached to Plum King or willingly be his subordinate?"
"You should go. Convey my message to the Night King. Allies can be considered, but vassalage is absolutely impossible."
Hua Man seemed to be frightened by him, her face turned pale. After she came to her senses, she nodded, turned around and ran away.
"Stop hiding."
After everyone left, Yitu lazily shouted towards a deserted place.
Soon, a tall and straight figure appeared behind him. Jiang Hanyu's handsome face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he subconsciously touched his nose.
Yitu turned around, folded his arms, and looked at him, saying helplessly:
"How long have you been eavesdropping here?"
The man said calmly, "What do you mean I eavesdropped? It was obviously me who came first, she was the third party."
Yitu: “…” Can you be a human being?
"Okay, so you listened to the whole thing." Yitu looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Hanyu only then realized that he was completely exposed, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
It was rare for Yitu to see a man in such an embarrassed state, and she was extremely happy.
At that time, he was talking to Hua Man, and the news about Jiang Hanyu inexplicably popped up. The man directly forbade him to agree.
Yitu was a little surprised, but then he immediately understood what was going on.
This person was most likely hiding in the dark using props or skill cards, secretly eavesdropping on the two people's conversation.
Jiang Hanyu's embarrassment only flashed by for a moment. He straightened his face and frowned slightly to express his attitude.
"You are not allowed to agree to her, understand?"
Of course Yi Tu would not agree to form an alliance with the Night King. First of all, the Night King did not leave a good impression on him.
It was not just what Xu Heng had said to him, but also the strange girl they had met in the Sunflower Kindergarten.
Xiaoman is an external member of the Curiosity Hunting Team and a player with special skill cards included according to the Night King's preferences.
Perhaps what the Night King is offering is not a safe and reliable olive branch, but a whip soaked in poison.
Yitu thought about it and didn't tell the truth. Instead, he wanted to tease Jiang Hanyu and deliberately provoked him:
"Why, that little girl is really sincere."
The man sneered, "Sincerity? You're obviously just attracted by her beauty!"
Yitu raised his eyebrows slightly. Wow, she's getting angry with him now.
"Hua Man is indeed good-looking, but I am a gentleman. I am not like some people who like to act like a hooligan."
As soon as Yi Tu finished speaking, he saw Jiang Hanyu's face darken, then he suddenly smiled and walked towards him.
Yitu was stunned and his heart skipped a beat.
It’s over, I’m afraid this is too much!
