Chapter 520: It’s not about defusing a bomb, it’s about defusing a gift
"How are you, are you okay now?"
The two swam in the moat for a long time before they came ashore and rested in a remote woods.
Only if they were farther away could the royal guards find them later, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Leng Huaijin quickly built a fire and asked her to take off her clothes and dry them. He was a little worried about her.
"Did you feel uncomfortable when you were in the river just now?"
Because of the incident of falling into the sea while pregnant a few years ago, Shen Weiyang is quite afraid of water.
Knowing what he was worried about, Shen Weiyang smiled comfortingly: "It's been a long time, I'm so useless, how could I be so scared until now?"
"Turn your back, or I'll feel uncomfortable."
Although the two of them had done a lot of extreme things, they were now in the wilderness, and she felt quite uncomfortable sitting naked next to Leng Huaijin, asking her to take off the only clothes on her body and dry them in the sun.
Even if there was no one around, she still felt uncomfortable and insecure.
Leng Huaijin did not take the opportunity to tease her this time. He turned his back obediently, took off his upper body clothes and put them on the fire to roast.
After his clothes were dried, he handed them to her like a gentleman, asked her to put them on first, and then took her clothes and dried them for her.
How do his clothes dry so quickly?
Shen Weiyang felt strange, and then she found red burn marks on his fingers.
She angrily grabbed his hand and said, "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you stand a little further away and grill it?"
He pulled his hand away, touched the top of her head comfortingly, and smiled gently, "Don't be so pretentious. Put on your clothes. Who knows when those people will come after you."
Shen Weiyang looked at him with red eyes, angry and distressed.
She used to complain that he was inconsiderate, but when he finally came to her senses, she was the one who felt sorry for him.
What a crime she has suffered.
She didn't move, so Leng Huaijin reached out and buttoned her suit.
She was small in stature, so she could wear his suit jacket as a suit skirt, so she wouldn't have to worry about exposing herself even if someone came over immediately.
Most importantly, he couldn't let her get sick from the cold.
But she was not wearing anything underneath, so buttoning her clothes was really a torture.
Shen Weiyang was a little annoyed that he didn't take care of himself, but now she couldn't help laughing when she saw his ears turned red and his fingers trembling as he buttoned her clothes. She reached out and knocked him on the head: "Mr. Leng, what's wrong? It's just buttoning a button, why do you act like you're defusing a bomb?"
"It's not about defusing a bomb, it's about tying a gift." After fastening the last button, he couldn't help but hold her in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for the wrong timing, I wonder if you would still be able to smile."
This time it was Shen Weiyang who blushed.
Sensing his restlessness, she blushed and said in a hoarse voice, "Ahem, they won't be here so soon, will they? If you want, I..."
"So you think I'm fast?" He let her go and pinched her red face in dissatisfaction.
When she saw her face flushed and she didn't dare to look at him in embarrassment, he smiled gently and said, "I'm not that impatient. I don't want to make you feel wronged."
After saying that, he put some distance between himself and her and continued to dry the clothes.
While grilling, he changed the subject: "Today when I went to see Ye Xiuli alone, Ye Xiuli and I played a game of chess."
Shen Weiyang knew that this place was indeed not good, so she didn't provoke him. She sat aside and turned the burning branches with branches to make the fire burn bigger.
Hearing him say this, she felt strange: "It was just a game of chess, and there was nothing else to say."
Leng Huaijin: "Yes, we just played a game of chess. The rest was just some pleasantries. He mentioned my grandfather and acted like an elder. Apart from that, there was nothing else."
Shen Weiyang couldn't understand: "This Ye Xiuli, what exactly does he want to do."
Leng Huaijin shook his head: "I don't know, but who do you think is the most suspicious about the dress today, Haya?"
Without waiting for Shen Weiyang to answer, Leng Huaijin denied it himself: "Haya is naughty by nature, indeed undisciplined and a little crazy, but she would not joke about her deceased aunt."
"Princess Anna treated her very well when she was alive. Her father died young, and her mother didn't care about her. She was raised by Princess Anna, so even if she went crazy, she wouldn't use Princess Anna to plot against her."
"I never doubted her in the first place. She wouldn't have thought of this," Shen Weiyang knew Haya would just charge in head-on and confront him. "It was Gu Wanzhou. I'm sure she was the one who framed me. Haya just happened to push me and soiled my dress. But in fact, whether Haya did it or not, my dress would have been soiled in the end. I would have changed into that dress by accident. Ye Xiuli asked you to play chess, but he was just stalling for time."
Leng Huaijin and she had always been in sync, and after listening to her analysis, he understood: "So, Ye Xiuli's goal is the Colosseum. He wants to send you to the Colosseum."
When they escaped from the castle and met Chris, Chris said that Her Majesty the Queen had ordered people to capture them and throw Shen Weiyang into the Colosseum to feed the beasts.
If this is the final outcome, then this is Ye Xiuli's goal.
Colosseum.
Colosseum.
Leng Huaijin clenched the half-dried clothes in his hands. The sound of burning branches echoed in the silent air, making the night in the woods even quieter.
When Shen Weiyang felt sleepy and thought Leng Huaijin wouldn't talk, he slowly said, "I've been to the Colosseum in Country Y. It's quite similar to No Man's Land."
Shen Weiyang slowly opened her eyes, looked at him quietly, and waited for him to continue.
Leng Huaijin: "Some prisoners who have committed serious crimes will be sent there. There are many wild beasts imprisoned there. When the prisoners are released to fight with the beasts, there will be many spectators watching and watching the prisoners being torn to pieces by the beasts."
Shen Weiyang was stunned. She couldn't believe that there could be such a crazy place in this day and age.
"This kind of thing only existed in the slave society of the past. Why does Country Y still have such a place now?"
Leng Huaijin: "Of course it's because it's exciting and wonderful, just like people without money like to work hard to make money to get things they couldn't get when they had no money. Some rich people can use money to realize all their material desires, and after that, they will have other spiritual needs."
"Do you know the Yama Association?"
Shen Weiyang shook his head.
Leng Huaijin continued, "It's similar to Extreme Challenge, but more dangerous and bloody. Every year, members of the Amazon Lions Association gather to hunt lions. They only have a gun and a few teammates. The one who succeeds will receive a trophy from the association."
