Jealousy (23) (Update 1)
It was obvious that Shui Lan came here to rebel. Song Shu knew it very well but he still had to pretend to ask a question or two.
"What's the matter?"
Shui Lian was wearing a thin shirt and black pants. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, her fingers were nervously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and her eyes were red. She looked like a soft and harmless rabbit.
He knew what kind of posture Song Shu liked, so he performed those movements immaturely and asked awkwardly: "Father, can you come out and tell me?"
The young man had his quilt piled up to his waist and was wearing white cotton pajamas. His skin, as white as porcelain, looked even cooler and more transparent under the warm light. His usual indifference became more substantial, cold and distant.
"Is there something you must talk about?"
Seeing the inquiring and scrutinizing gaze, Shui Lan began to tremble again.
Song Shu is always like this, neatly dressed and looking at all of them indifferently. Even this look is cold, as if he is looking at a stranger.
So cruel.
The last meeting was so cruel.
Shui Lian's heart was trembling, and the bitterness he had swallowed in the past seemed to be vomiting in his stomach, causing his body to tremble. He took a step closer to the bedroom, loosening his hand on the door frame a little, so that Song Shu could see his appearance completely.
A light-colored hairpin tied up his long silver-white hair, and he had a pretty face that was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. His body was wrapped in thin clothes, and the silver hair that was not completely tied up on his white neck made him look fragile and sick.
Before leaving, Shui Lian used makeup to cover up her eyebrows and eyes in front of the mirror, so that her eyes were more pure and charming like Qing Xiao's. At that time, he stared at himself in the mirror, and stroked the corners of his eyes with his fingers. The self in the mirror also made the same action.
until--
"elder brother?"
The door was pushed open, and Qing Xiao's puzzled face appeared in the corner of the mirror. Shui Lian lowered her head quickly, almost in panic, "What's the matter?"
Qing Xiao had packed his things, but he was still a little uneasy and couldn't sit still to find Shui Lan. He knew that Shui Lan was about to go find Song Shu, and he also knew that the plan was about to begin.
So he couldn't stop feeling uneasy, "Brother, are we leaving tonight?"
"Yeah." Her heart was beating fast, and Shui Lan tightly grasped her wrist. It was like the moment when a thief tried to steal something that didn't belong to him, and the owner suddenly felt flustered and guilty.
Shui Lian's breath was unstable, "Have you packed everything?"
Qing Xiao nodded, perhaps because he saw something in the mirror. He moved closer, his warm breath blowing towards her, causing Shui Lan's back to stiffen.
Qing Xiao did notice that Shui Lan's eyes seemed a little different. He stood very close to Shui Lan and said in a surprised tone, "Brother, your eyes are so beautiful."
Qing Xiao's compliment was more like a mockery. Shui Lian froze completely, he twitched his lips to smile, but failed, and his expression turned into an extremely ugly one in the mirror.
Shui Lian twisted her hair with her fingers and said in a hoarse voice: "Really?"
Qing Xiao nodded vigorously, her gem-like eyes shining, "Well, I never realized before that brother's eyes are very beautiful."
It seemed like just an ordinary compliment, or a poor way to change the subject. Both of them had unspeakable secrets in their hearts, and the conversation became veiled.
After Qing Xiao finished speaking, they talked about the actual planned time. After getting the exact information, Qing Xiao left. Shui Lian, in front of the mirror, removed the makeup bit by bit. He wiped it very hard, and his face blossomed with red plums.
Finally, when he had finished applying all the makeup, he stared at himself in the mirror.
The corners of her eyes were wet and red, and her cheeks were like an overturned palette, with red and white mixed together, creating a weird distortion on her delicate face. Her expression was ugly, like the numbness after the extreme ups and downs of emotions, and there was also a hint of humble pleading. What was she praying for?
Shui Lan, what are you praying for?
The pain seemed to no longer evoke any reaction. Shui Lian put down the box of powder, quietly washed her face with clean water, and found a hairpin. Just like the day when he helped Song Shu to tie her hair to meet Ellis, he carefully tied his hair.
In any case, it was not the best state, tired, haggard and sick. Shui Lian tried to smile, groomed and practiced in front of the mirror many times, but then gave up and smiled bitterly. What was he dreaming about?
What did he want from Song Shu? He was leaving, and he was going to kill him.
But no matter how ridiculous it was, no matter how Shui Lian struggled, he finally went to meet Song Shu in his best condition.
This was to better seduce Song Shu, Shui Lan thought to herself.
555: [.]
Whatever the reason, he finally convinced himself.
Song Shu was alert. Was Shui Lian going to do something shocking like taking off clothes again? ?
However, Shui Lian only moved closer. He lay on the side of Song Shu's bed, pressing his fingers on Song Shu's quilt, and pleaded, "Father, is it okay?"
Song Shu's refusal was just a formality. Anyway, he was going to go out with Shui Lan tonight. He thought for a while, and seeing Shui Lan was about to make another move, he was too flustered to think of any refusal, so he quickly agreed.
He was really frightened by Shui Lian.
…
It's windy tonight and it's expected to rain tomorrow. Song Shu put on her coat and was suddenly held by Shui Lian when she was about to go out.
Song Shu's hands were shaking unnoticeably because of fear. He looked at Shui Lan, trying to make Shui Lan let go of his hand with a cold look. Shui Lan pretended not to see it at first, but was forced by Song Shu and looked up at Song Shu. His wet and red rabbit eyes looked pitiful, but Song Shu was not gay.
Song Shu tried to pull his hand away, but failed the first time. Then Shui Lan grabbed the corner of his clothes again. He wanted to break free, but it was not so easy. Shui Lan was determined to hold his hand or pull the corner of his clothes.
Shui Lian's hands are obviously smaller than his and feel softer, so how come they are so strong?
Song Shu frowned and looked over, but Shui Lan avoided his gaze again.
Okay, okay, you’re so afraid that he will run away, right?
Shui Lan was so alert, and Song Shu couldn't just say, "I know all your plans and I won't run away." He could only let Shui Lan hold his clothes uncomfortably.
It's the last time anyway. People are like this, and when it comes to "the last time", they will be extra indulgent to themselves and others.
The place they were going was quite far away, so Song Shu and Shui Lan walked side by side.
This situation is actually very rare. Usually, Shui Lan can only follow Song Shu. But Song Shu came from another time, and there is no one else around him, so he doesn't bother to care about these rules.
After walking for a while, Song Shu still felt uncomfortable.
He didn't run away. Why was Shui Lan holding his clothes tightly?
It's so strange.
Song Shu couldn't help but stop, and Shui Lian stopped as well.
The atmosphere was silent, tense and inexplicable. The gray sky looked like a face that was about to cry.
Before Song Shu could say anything, Shui Lian's hand had loosened and she looked at him as if nothing had happened. "Father, what's wrong?"
Song Shu: “…”
Song Shu always felt that Shui Lan was playing a trick on him, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he had to keep moving forward.
The wind was quite strong at night and Song Shu's long hair was messed up. He tidied it up with his hands, and soon he heard a plop.
Shui Lan fell down.
Fall flat on the ground.
Song Shu: “…”
How to silence me three times in one minute.
Song Shu stopped, turned around and saw Shui Lan silently getting up, said sorry to him, and then continued walking.
Shui Lan's hands and knees were bleeding, but he still tried hard to lead Song Shu to the direction of the evil fire array. If Song Shu didn't know that Shui Lan wanted to kill him, he would be moved by Shui Lan's professionalism.
"Wait a moment."
Song Shu was helpless, "Stop for a moment."
Shui Lian had a dazed expression. It was unclear what she was thinking along the way. She wasn't concentrating while walking, so it didn't seem strange that she fell on flat ground.
Song Shu sighed inwardly and cast an advanced healing magic, and the wounds on Shui Lian's hands and knees instantly became smooth and flat.
Shui Lian was stunned, and the hole in his heart that was breathing air seemed to be blocked temporarily. He looked up at Song Shu, but Song Shu turned around coldly and aloofly and continued walking forward, as if he had picked up a kitten.
Shui Lian followed step by step with red eyes.
Why would Song Shu help him? If Song Shu knew that he was going to escape and... kill him... would Song Shu regret it?
Song Shu looked at the garden in front of him and felt that he was worried about Shui Lian's escape plan.
He was about to run away, so he didn't want to be caught by Bowen because of his injuries. He was bleeding while walking, and he looked very pitiful. Anyway, it was the last time, so he helped if he could. Shui Lian also ran to Alice's side, so he helped Alice.
555: [.]
Here is someone who is better at comforting himself.
The next part of the journey was destined to be even more silent, and Song Shu began to harass 555 in his mind out of boredom.
"How come he suddenly fell down? He didn't even walk seriously. I don't know how their plan succeeded."
555: [Aren’t you here? ]
Song Shu chuckled and said, "That's true."
555: [……]
I didn't praise you.
555: [Don't you want to know who did it? ]
"What?"
[Shui Lian just fell flat on the ground. 】
Song Shu wondered: "Who did it?"
Didn't Shui Lan fall down by herself? Who would do such a stupid thing?
However, 555 gave an unexpected answer: [Shadow.]
It wasn't just this time. Even the last time Shui Lian came out of Song Shu's room in a daze and was splashed with a basin of water, it was all Ying's fault.
Weirdly, 555, who has never really understood human emotions, can even simulate Ying's mentality.
- I slapped you for seducing your father, and I gave you a basin of water for inviting your father to take a bath. Now you want to meet your father in the middle of the night, well, I'll throw you to death.
Although it is outrageous, this should be the true jealous mentality of the actor biting his handkerchief and crying.
However, Song Shu probably couldn't understand Ying's mental journey. After all, the plot was like a childish plot in a low-level house-fighting drama. Ying's methods were childish but satisfying, and Song Shu wouldn't believe it if he told her.
Time passed as Song Shu and 555 chatted. When they were about to reach the location where the evil fire array was set up, the moon, which had been covered by dark clouds, peeked out.
The moonlight is like a veil, pouring through the layers of dark clouds, the only bright spot in the sky.
At the moment when the starlight was about to fall, Song Shu stepped into the evil fire array. Shui Lan, who said she wanted to talk to him, stood opposite him with a miniature teleportation array under her feet.
The forest is damp and cold as it is about to rain, and the wind that blows through is icy and carries the scent of grass and trees.
When the plot of the game was about to happen, Song Shu was somewhat curious whether Shui Lian would say something harsh, or curse at him before leaving to disgust him. After all, he had disgusted her for so long.
Considering how unreliable Shui Lan and Qing Xiao were, Song Shu was still somewhat worried, and he felt that he had to confirm it himself.
He is in the center of the evil fire array√
Under your feet is a magic circle that imprisons magic√
There is a teleportation array over there.
Everything was ready, Song Shu finally looked at Shui Lian with relief, expecting what Shui Lian would say.
Song Shu actually didn't have much bad feelings towards Shui Lian. In his opinion, Shui Lian was from Alice's camp, and could probably be considered his teammate. Although this teammate always did some shocking homosexual behavior, generally speaking, the teammate was also forced.
Shui Lian was forced, and Song Shu was also forced. How could this not be considered a kind of sympathy?
Therefore, there was something indescribable about the way Song Shu looked at Shui Lan, which seemed ambiguous to others.
It might be a coincidence that Song Shu was standing exactly where the moonlight shone.
The young man is tall and slender, wearing a classical shirt that makes him look elegant and gentlemanly. He has a delicate and small jade brooch and a necklace hanging diagonally. His long, dark, satin-like hair has perfect ends. He has snow-white skin and red lips, and looks like a fairy born in the moonlight.
Time seemed to be pulled back to the first time they met in the study. Shui Lian fell on the carpet in the study in pain, and the thick and melting ink was ugly and embarrassing.
The feeling of suffocation came again, Shui Lian bit his lip. He knew that he should say something harsh to Song Shu, and curse this hypocritical and two-faced father.
But he couldn't say it.
It was ridiculous, he couldn't say it.
It was obvious that before this, he was looking forward to this day, looking forward to seeing Song Shu's embarrassed look.
Shui Lan clenched her fingers tightly, the ink-colored blur spread in her brain, reason and emotion were struggling, and finally reason prevailed.
Their plan cannot fail. At this point, he should say something. Since he has asked Song Shu out, he has to say something eventually, no matter if it is harsh words or a farewell.
"Father,…"
"Um?"
The young man tilted his head slightly, his feet never moved at all, and he firmly fixed himself in the confinement formation.
Shui Lian suddenly had an illusion that Song Shu knew this was the location of the imprisonment formation, so he didn't move. But she quickly denied it. How could this be possible?
No, Song Shu couldn't have known.
Shui Lian took a deep breath, and his mind finally became clearer. He took one last look at Song Shu and completely discarded those ridiculous emotions.
Song Shu was waiting for Shui Lan to say something harsh, but Shui Lan, for some unknown reason, simply ignited the evil fire array.
The flames drilled out of the soil and bit the tree trunks, quickly spreading throughout the forest. In the flames rising to the sky, Song Shu saw Shui Lian speak very quickly, and then left using the teleportation array.
Song Shu was trapped in the spot, feeling a bit bored and wanting to yawn, muttering: "Hasn't he eaten? Why doesn't he speak louder when he's saying harsh words?"
555: [Don't be so leisurely, at least give some acting a try. ]
Song Shu had no choice but to squat on the ground and smear some dust on his face.
Soon, there were lights in the ancient house in the distance, and loud screams: "The fire is coming!"
Song Shu was still diligently playing the role of a victim blinded by lust, smearing dust on his face, trying to set up a few useless magic circles, and finally squatting on the ground to draw a stick figure of Alice.
As he was painting, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "From now on, I will paint in the soil. This way, the magic will be gone, and I won't have to burn paper like I'm visiting a grave all the time."
[Do you want to pluck out all the grass? ]
Song Shu curled his lips. He picked up a branch and painted diligently, and soon he heard footsteps.
It was as if a barrier was cut out between the evil fires, and a figure was running towards him.
Rescue came so quickly?
Song Shu stood up and secretly trampled the portrait with his feet.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and Song Shu could gradually see the face clearly.
First, the familiar eyebrows and eyes, and then...
Qingxiao???
Song Shu: ??? You are a traitor?
Song Shu was full of questions. He watched Qing Xiao rush over and remove his magic in a hurry. His voice was choked with sobs, "Father, please run faster."
Song Shu was still full of questions. Shouldn't Qing Xiao have run away with Shui Lan? Why did she turn back?
Song Shu looked up and saw several familiar figures in the forest. They were the secret guards of the Orpheus family.
Qing Xiao was holding the teleportation talisman in her hand, and was still telling him to run faster. Song Shu was sweating profusely, "Brother, you are the one, run faster, or you won't know who will be caught if you don't run."
Song Shu was really overwhelmed.
How come Shui Lian has such a traitorous brother?
The speed of the hidden guards was getting faster and faster. Song Shu could not care less. The plot could not be interrupted here. He thought about sending Qing Xiao out with the teleportation array first, so he took out the talisman at hand, looked around and couldn't find a pen, so he simply bit his finger and drew a teleportation array talisman very quickly.
However, before he could shout out the command, he felt a pain in the back of his neck.
Song Shu fainted.
…
Yes, it was outrageous, Song Shu was also kidnapped.
Song Shu was dazed when he woke up in the hotel with his face covered. He could vaguely hear Shui Lan and Qing Xiao arguing outside the door.
The sound was not loud, but it really made Song Shu feel shocked.
"I told you to leave quickly, and you promised me, but you went back to find him. Qing Xiao, do you know how stupid your behavior was? If it weren't for me, you would have died there!"
"Brother, I said I will be responsible for my own safety. I just want to go back and save him. I still have the teleportation talisman. After I let him go, I will come back by myself."
"You are responsible for your own safety? Have you taken responsibility? Qing Xiao, you are too naive. The hidden guards behind you are all going to save him. He doesn't need you to save him at all. Why do you rush to die?"
“………”
What followed was Qing Xiao's intermittent sobbing. When Song Shu moved his ears to listen more, the door was pushed open. He was caught off guard and his eyes met Shui Lan who opened the door.
Song Shu: “…”
Eavesdropping is not scary, being caught eavesdropping is the scariest thing.
Song Shu followed Shui Lian's gaze somewhat awkwardly and looked around the room.
He was in an unfamiliar environment, all the teleportation talismans on his body were taken away, and Shui Lan seemed to have cast a spell that restricted his magic power, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Song Shu touched his nose.
If he really fell into the enemy's lair, Shui Lan hated him so much, he would not die here.
[Emergency! The genius villain has fallen into the lair of the most hated enemy.
Damn it! Am I going to die?
Dangers are lurking everywhere and we are treading on thin ice.
The kind-hearted and confused boy whom I met by chance turned out to be the enemy's boss, Oh Duoduo?
They met by chance and destiny. What kind of sparks will the kind-hearted boy and the genius villain create? 】
Song Shu smiled: "Go away."
555 exclaimed: [I didn't expect you to be taken away. ]
"I didn't expect that either." Song Shu muttered.
This matter was actually a bit outrageous, but considering that the original Shui Lian plan was very unreliable, Song Shu felt that his being taken away was not a plot bug.
Although he was taken away, the plot was at least on the right track. Maybe he could meet Alice by chance, Song Shu comforted himself optimistically.
To survive, he must first confirm what Shui Lan's ambiguous look at him means, and he doesn't understand what it means.
Do you want to kill him? Or use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Bo Wen?
Song Shu pinched her earlobe, trying to calm herself down.
Shui Lian didn't say anything, but he, who was living under someone else's roof, certainly couldn't be mute. He asked tentatively: "What do you want to do by bringing me here?"
Shui Lian stared at him, "You don't seem surprised at all."
No, it was still a bit surprising. Song Shu looked out the window, and the lush trees made it impossible for him to tell exactly which area they were in.
A night of escape seemed to have drained Shui Lan's strength. He looked very tired, and he looked shaky just standing.
Shui Lan sat on a chair beside Song Shu's bed, no longer able to muster the energy to think about anything about Song Shu and Qing Xiao.
Last night, he used the teleportation talisman to come to Song Shu and Qing Xiao, and saw Song Shu biting his finger to draw the teleportation talisman in an attempt to send Qing Xiao away.
Song Shu could have captured Qing Xiao and threatened them, right? Why did he let Qing Xiao go? Did he like Qing Xiao so much because of the similarities between her and his eyes?
Shui Lian could no longer remember what she was thinking at the time, but when she looked again, she found that she had brought Song Shu and Qing Xiao out together.
Shui Lian didn't know how to explain all this to Song Shu, because he should have let Song Shu die in the fire.
Shui Lian felt bitterness on the tip of his tongue. He slowly raised his eyes and saw Song Shu seemed to be in a daze.
Song Shu always looks indifferent, as if no matter what happens, he can deal with it by staying out of it.
It makes people inexplicably angry.
Shui Lan stood up slowly and clenched the sword in his hand.
Song Shu was startled, thinking that he was going to die here, but Shui Lan didn't say anything, just pushed the door open and walked out.
…
Shui Lian closed the door and cast a silencing magic to ensure that the conversation outside the door would not be heard by Song Shu inside. He lowered his eyes and looked at Qing Xiao who was leaning against the door in frustration.
Shui Lan's face was very white, and when she lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes cast shadows on her eyelids, and the elongated shadows on the floor exuded a pale and rotten smell.
Qing Xiao had just cried, and his eyes were red. He murmured, "Brother, father loves you very much, you can't kill him."
He had tried many times, it was impossible that Song Shu had not seen him setting up the formation. It was not until last night, when they were escaping, that he saw the look in Song Shu's eyes when he looked at his brother in the moonlight. Qing Xiao then realized that his father was not unaware, he just pretended not to know for his brother's sake.
Even when he did something stupid and turned back, his father sent him away for his brother's sake.
"You can't kill your father."
Qing Xiao begged, "Shall we let father go?"
Perhaps out of selfishness, or some other emotion, Qing Xiao just repeated this sentence without telling the reason for his guess.
Such a fact was too cruel for him.
Qing Xiao's tears fell down: "Brother, please let father go, and we will go to a new place and start a new life together."
Shui Lian whispered: "Qing Xiao, what does your promise mean?"
