Chapter 685: Deceive Yourself First
[No chance in this life, promise in the next life]
When Tang Chen saw the small words on the silk and heard Li Zimu's words, he stood there in a daze as if he was stupid, unable to utter a word.
So, Li Zimu knows everything.
She knew that she had lied, knew that she had gone to find Wei Changtian, and knew the "sacrifice" she had made. That's right, after all, how could she hide these things from her.
But how should I face all this?
Staring blankly at Li Zimu, Tang Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart.
On the other side, Li Zimu bit his lips tightly, his eyes moist.
The bond has always been shallow, but the love is deep.
Although the phrase "I wish we had not met before I got married" is not quite appropriate here, the feeling it expresses is appropriate.
If Chu Xianping had not arrived "earlier", the relationship between Li Zimu and Tang Chen might not have ended like this.
The breeze blew gently, and the two people were only half a step apart, but it seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
So they stood facing each other in silence for a long time.
As for Wei Changtian who was standing further back, although he could not see the words embroidered on the handkerchief, he could hear Li Zimu's "dubbing", so his expression at the moment was also very interesting.
Good guy! I'm a good guy!
Promise of a lifetime in the next life?
This sentence is worth a thousand words! How did Li Zimu come up with this! Too bad, isn't it? ! How could Tang Chen possibly resist this wave of killing? ? He must stay and fight Chu Xianping to the death immediately? !
Obviously, in Wei Changtian's view, Li Zimu's operation was extremely effective. He was sure that Tang Chen would not be able to bear it and would definitely "change his mind" and stay.
After all, if there is a chance in this life, who would be willing to pin their hopes on some bullshit "next life"? Besides, Li Zimu's words clearly told Tang Chen - I like you.
If Tang Chen doesn't "fight to the death", will he be worthy of his status as the Son of Heaven? So... eh? Suddenly, Wei Changtian's eyes froze, and his mouth opened slightly in disbelief.
Because just now, Tang Chen, who was not far away, made a decision that he never expected.
ha??
Gone???
Looking at the rippling black mist, Wei Changtian walked quickly closer, his expression as surprised as he could be.
No, just left like that?
Not even a word?
Did he see that Li Zimu was playing a trick on him? No, the black pig didn't come out, and Tang Chen didn't use mind reading. "Uh, the current situation..."
Turning his head to look at Li Zimu who was also stunned, Wei Changtian touched his nose and asked, "This shouldn't be what you expected, right?"
“.”
“No.”
Li Zimu lowered his head and answered a little late: "I thought he would definitely stay."
"I just felt the same way."
Wei Changtian shook his head regretfully: "What a pity."
"Yeah, what a pity."
Li Zimu looked up at the black fog which had returned to calm and repeated it in a low voice.
And her “what a pity” and Wei Changtian’s “what a pity” may not have the same meaning.
"Okay, now that everyone has left, let's just leave it at that."
Wei Changtian curled his lips, but didn't care much about it and quickly regained his composure.
To him, Tang Chen was not "indispensable", so it was no big deal if he could not use him for his own benefit.
The only thing is that if this happens, I might have to find an opportunity to take a good nap.
After all, whether it is "reading minds" or "observing minds", the effects are very great, and I must get them. "By the way, weren't you afraid that he would use mind reading just now?"
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly asked Li Zimu: "What would you do if he used it?"
"He won't."
Li Zimu shook his head: "Even if he used it, he wouldn't be able to tell that what I said was false."
"Can't you tell?"
Wei Changtian frowned, and his tone became a little cold: "Didn't I tell you that Tang Chen's mind reading is not an ordinary skill to recognize people, but a special magical power that will never go wrong?"
"Are you going to ignore my words?!"
“Plop!”
"Sir, calm down!"
"I dare not forget what you said, sir!"
Seeing that Wei Changtian was a little angry, Li Zimu immediately knelt down and even changed her name to "slave".
She quickly admitted her mistake, and then explained in a low voice: "It's just that I have tried it once before, and I did deceive him."
"Have you tried it?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes, looking unconvinced: "Then tell me, how did you deceive him?"
"this."
Li Zimu lowered his head and replied softly, "It's actually very simple."
"Just fool yourself first."
“.”
Cheated yourself first? Upon hearing this answer, Wei Changtian was stunned.
What does it mean? Li Zimu first repeatedly told himself that he really liked Tang Chen, and then lied to Tang Chen after he believed it?
Although it sounds reasonable, but But feelings are not "objective facts" but 100% "subjective judgment"!
So if Li Zimu believed that he liked Tang Chen, then he really liked her, didn't he? Can this be called "cheating"? Wait, that's not right either.
After all, judging from Li Zimu's current performance, she seemed to know that she was deceiving Tang Chen. So how did Li Zimu manage to "cheat herself" and stay "awake" at the same time?
I give up.
Is it so complicated for you smart people to deceive someone?
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more confused he became. He originally wanted to ask Li Zimu again, but he felt that even if the latter told him, he probably still wouldn't understand, so he didn't bother to bother anymore.
"Okay, get up."
"Anyway, Tang Chen has gone back now, so remember not to act on your own next time something like this happens."
"Yes, I will keep your teachings in mind."
Nodding seriously, Li Zimu slowly stood up.
She looked at Wei Changtian's profile, as if she was about to say something.
But before she could open her mouth, the black fog not far away began to shake again.
It’s Chu Xianping who’s back.
“Brother Chu!”
A smile instantly appeared on his face, and Wei Changtian was the first to greet him.
Li Zimu's expression also became happy, and she was completely different from the infatuated woman who was "seeing off her lover" just now.
Both of them reacted quickly, but Chu Xianping, who had just emerged from the black fog, still noticed something strange.
He looked at Wei Changtian, then at Li Zimu, and then asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what happened just now?"
"Ah? It's okay, we'll talk on the way back."
Wei Changtian patted Chu Xianping's shoulder heavily and said, "Let's go. Qin'er specifically asked me to welcome you today. She has been waiting at home for a long time."
"yes."
Chu Xianping, as always, never asked any more questions. He just responded, nodded to Li Zimu, and then followed Wei Changtian out the door.
However, after the two took a few steps, they found that Li Zimu was standing there without moving.
"What's wrong?"
Turning back, Wei Changtian asked in confusion: "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
"Young Master."
Looking at Chu Xianping who was also somewhat puzzled, Li Zimu lowered his head and whispered: "You guys go back first, I'll wait here."
"wait?"
Wei Changtian was stunned at first, but then he understood what Li Zimu meant.
Although he felt that Li Zimu and others were waiting in vain, he did not stop them after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, then you wait here."
"Brother Chu, let's go first."
"yes"
Chu Xianping nodded again, but his doubts grew even greater.
He didn't know what Li Zimu was waiting for, but he knew he shouldn't ask now.
So he had no choice but to follow Wei Changtian out while subconsciously looking back.
At this time, Li Zimu was also looking at him with a smile.
Their eyes met, then separated after a moment.
For Chu Xianping, this felt very familiar.
But there is also some indescribable strangeness.
