Chapter 55
Pei Zhao was so amused by Zhou Ran's oath that he couldn't help laughing. The three of them finally sat down on the sofa and played around for a while. Pei Zhao finally remembered something.
"How did you know you could find that puppet?"
"Oh, someone told me."
"who?"
"He said his name was Sudi."
Pei Zhao was stunned. Soudy? It's him again.
"...What did he say?"
Zhou Ran swung his legs, looking nonchalant, "You just said that you encountered a problem and needed my help, and asked me to treat you as a friend, and explained your work content to me again." Zhou Ran shook his head in a secretive manner, "Pei Shen, I really don't mean to say that you are not as good as Sudi in telling stories."
"Why do you say that?"
"Sodi told me about a dozen puppets he collected. The stories were all very interesting. Some were lovers who were out of reach, some were friends who became enemies, and some were old friends who could not recognize each other after they got promoted. Sodi said that he had experienced the stories of so many people, but no one had recorded his own story."
A trace of sadness appeared on Pei Zhao's face: "Our story..."
Zhou Yuli held Pei Zhao's hand: "Someone will record it."
Pei Zhao shook his head and forced a smile, saying, "It doesn't matter if no one records it. Life is a one-way street. It's not that important whether it's recorded or not."
Zhou Yuli said firmly, "It will be recorded." Zhou Yuli's eyes were firm, "Someone will record our story, but his writing may not be that good, and he may be a little stupid, but I believe that he will record our story in every detail. Including love, friendship, family affection. And every story that happened between us and the puppets."
"Will Bai Zhou and Lan Ji also be recorded together?"
"certainly."
Zhou Ran leaned back on the sofa, looking at the two men holding hands opposite him. A rare silence fell.
A few words popped into my mind: Young Master hasn't laughed like this for a long time.
Pei Zhao hasn't been this happy for a long time since his mother passed away.
Zhou Ran considered himself a straight man, and before yesterday he was still an old-fashioned person who could not accept same-sex love. But now, seeing Pei Zhao so happy, he felt relieved.
What does it matter who you like?
It doesn't matter. As long as Pei Zhao is happy, that's all.
Zhou Ran sniffed, adjusted his mood, and knocked on the coffee table.
"Okay, Master Pei, I have other news for you this time. The leaders of the human and demon tribes used to be old friends."
Zhou Ran unzipped his clothes and revealed a puppet inside.
"Sodi told me to bring the puppet to you and to tell you something: it takes the person who tied the bell to untie it."
A few days ago, they failed to reach a deal with Sudi, and now they asked Zhou Ran to send clues. Pei Zhao couldn't help but frowned: "What does Sudi mean?"
Zhou Ran blinked: "Could it be that he wants you to negotiate peace between the human and demon tribes?"
Pei Zhao: "The leader of the human race has become a puppet, what's the point of talking about peace? The entire seabed belongs to his demon race... Wait." Pei Zhao slowed down his speech, "He doesn't want me to start a revolution, does he?"
"When humans and demons fight, the winner becomes the king and the loser becomes the enemy. The consequences of the fight between the superiors are borne by the ordinary people. If the human race loses, those human people will suffer. The only solution is for the demon leader to issue new regulations and build a world where humans and demons can live in peace."
"This is outrageous..." Pei Zhao rubbed his brows, "Isn't this the original appearance of the world before Sudi changed it? How did it go back to the same place..."
That being said, Sudi had given him a method, so without further ado, Pei Zhao stood up and prepared to set off.
Zhou Yuli naturally followed, but Zhou Ran thought about it and shook his head.
"I won't get involved. You all have superpowers, but I don't. I'll just be a burden on the battlefield. And I heard that this puppet looks exactly like me. No wonder the sea god looks at me with a mixture of love and hate. I'm going to go back."
"How are you going to get back?"
"Sudi said he would come pick me up."
Pei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then you go back..."
"God Pei, I'll be waiting for you in the dormitory. You and Zhou Yuli must come back and live here."
"good."
·
According to Sudi, the leaders of the human and demon races originally had a good relationship, but they fell out over the issue of power sharing. After dividing the world, they launched wars many times and eventually became complete enemies.
As a result, they interfered and the seabed became the world of the demon sea god again. All humans were expelled. Pei Zhao could only think of a way to make the sea god rekindle his nostalgia for his old friend and make him feel compassion for the human people.
"The best way is to turn the puppet back into a human. It would be best if the two of them could talk it out face to face." But thinking about how to turn the puppet into a human, Pei Zhao had a headache. "But where can I find someone who loves this prince? Zhou Yuli, do you think his people will love such a monarch?"
Zhou Yuli sat at the desk, put down the book he was reading, and shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. It takes a lot of effort to turn a puppet into a human being. Unless you are a fanatical follower, it is difficult to provide it."
Pei Zhao was disappointed: "I think so too. How can the subjects love the monarch so fanatically? We still have to think of another way."
"There are other ways..." Zhou Yuli touched his chin, "How about trying to negotiate directly with Poseidon?"
Pei Zhao was embarrassed: "Will it fail if we negotiate directly?"
"At worst we can just give up if we fail. Since we are here to help, Sudi can't expect us to succeed." Zhou Yuli blinked and said eight irresponsible words.
After saying this, he carefully looked at Pei Zhao's expression.
Pei Zhao was not angry, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That makes sense. Anyway, success and failure are all Sudi's fault."
·
The next day, Lord Poseidon, who had not been seen for a few days, was neatly dressed and sitting on the single sofa in the living room, with his hands crossed on his chest, looking like he was listening attentively.
In the room, Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao packed their clothes. Zhou Yuli stuffed the books and records into his backpack, put it on his back, and followed Pei Zhao out. ,
Seeing the two people coming out, Poseidon asked with interest: "Have you finally thought it through?"
Zhou Yuli stopped behind the love seat. Poseidon looked at Pei Zhao with a little surprise as he walked around the sofa and sat down. He smiled at him calmly and said, "I invited Lord Poseidon here today for no other reason than to ask for a special pardon from you and spare the innocent human race."
"What are you going to use to negotiate with me?"
"In return, we will assist you in rebuilding the civilization of the sea."
As a half-god, the God of the Sea has always believed that Pei Zhao and Sudi were just a small part of assisting him in changing the situation in the sea. As the god of the sea, he is like most rulers, arrogant and conceited. Perhaps his only noble quality is that he is grateful.
Otherwise he would not have allowed Sudi to get involved with him again and again.
Of course, the root of all this is that both Sudi and Pei Zhao are profitable for him.
but……
In order to help him change the situation of the underwater battle, Sudi only promised to "give it a try". And today, Pei Zhao actually dared to discuss conditions with him. I really don't know whether to say that he is a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or that he is ignorant of the consequences.
Right now the demons are pressing in, and the human race is leaderless and has no power to fight back. The Sea God is confident enough that in less than three days, their demon race will be able to unify the sea. After that, the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons is just a workaround for the past lack of armaments.
"Rebuilding the sea civilization? But I don't need it."
Pei Zhao frowned.
Seeing the sea god's expression teasing, Pei Zhao reflected on himself and realized that empty words had no power. What he wanted was exactly the disdainful look of the Sea God.
"Consumer behavior says that the audience is always unaware of their needs, but when the product appears, the audience will be surprised to find that they have the same needs."
Pei Zhao smiled and said, "Today I am meeting with Lord Poseidon privately. My purpose is not to persuade him, but just to get a password to leave."
"That's between you and Sudi. I don't care."
"Also," Pei Zhao stared at the Sea God's eyes, hoping to see some emotional fluctuations in them, and said word by word, "I would like to remind you, Lord Sea God, to remember four words: things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme."
…
Sunset.
At this time of day, Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli should be sitting side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window watching the sunset. Counting the number of sunsets in a day, they wonder whether they will be able to return to the real world when the sun rises the next day.
But today, the two were trying on clothes.
Pei Zhao pulled the black lace on his chest, his expression indescribable.
"Zhou Yuli, do I really have to dress like this? It's too... weird." Pei Zhao looked up at the person opposite him, his eyes sparkling and showing embarrassment.
Zhou Yuli was tying a wide cloak, the huge hood just covering half of his face. Pei Zhao looked at the clothes that looked like a bed sheet to him, and only reached Zhou Yuli's ankles.
He pouted and complained quietly: "...It's amazing that he's tall. Who's good man's cloak is made for a man who is 1.9 meters tall? How pretentious!"
Zhou Yuli didn't know whether he heard it or not. After confirming that the size was right, Zhou Yuli turned around and saw Pei Zhao pulling his collar with a look of grievance. He was stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple moved, and he walked over.
Pei Zhao looked at Zhou Yuli coming over, curled the corners of his mouth, and deliberately lifted the lace hard. The semi-transparent pattern bounced back onto his skin, making a light "pop" sound.
Pei Zhao chuckled inwardly and thought to himself, let's see how you continue to pretend to be a saint.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the large cloak on Zhou Yuli's body was on him.
Pei Zhao was stunned. Zhou Yuli squatted in front of him and folded the long part at the bottom upwards and locked it. Pei Zhao blushed. This perspective...
When Zhou Yuli tucked his sleeves in a serious manner, Pei Zhao finally couldn't help but whispered: "Zhou Yuli... do you treat me like a child?"
Zhou Yuli was facing Pei Zhao, his slightly puzzled eyes passed across Pei Zhao's face, and finally fell on his sleeves, "You are not a child, I have to take care of you too."
Pei Zhao snorted twice, sounding angry but looking very proud.
Ever since they confirmed their relationship, Zhou Yuli treated him better and better. Pei Zhao thought that except for the fact that Zhou Yuli was unwilling to do those things with him, Zhou Yuli had given him everything.
"There are only two of us for tonight's operation. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji are not here. We have to act separately. Before dawn, we need to arrange everything and come back here. Okay?"
"rest assured."
When they parted, Pei Zhao hugged Zhou Yuli and kissed him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Zhou Yuli, don't hide from me."
"I didn't..."
"When we go back this time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Unknowingly, they had already spent a long time in another world. These days happen to be the National Day in the real world. Pei Zhao calculated the days and found that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival when he returned.
"What's wrong with Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhou Yuli's voice was a little hoarse. He rubbed Pei Zhao's hand with his cheek and asked with his eyes closed.
"Zhou Yuli," Pei Zhao hooked Zhou Yuli's fingers, feeling his face and body were hot. The lace in the cloak blocking his body seemed to tighten his spirit, causing his heart to contract rapidly. "Zhou Yuli, let's go to the hot spring together when we get back."
