Jealousy (25) (Part 3)
Song Shu was now full of questions, "What?"
Why did they disappear? Didn't they run away?
555: [Shui Lian and his group fled in several groups. Bo Wen caught one of the groups and revealed the escape route of Shui Lian and the others.]
It is easy to imagine what happened next: the two sides fought, Shui Lan fled, and Qing Xiao disappeared.
Song Shu was silent for a while, "Did many of them die?"
[A lot of them, those who were unlucky almost all died. Shui Lian was lucky, and was saved by Ellis when he was escaping. He made a deal with Ellis, asking Ellis to save other people who were still on the run, and to find the missing Qing Xiao.]
The content of the transaction is unknown, but if Ellis can agree to it, the specific content is worth pondering.
Song Shu pursed his lips. Only then did he have a real sense of reality - this was a real and cruel world, just like what he saw when he played games, it was not peaceful at all, and human life was worthless.
555 was waiting for Song Shu's reaction so that it could explain to Song Shu why the jealousy value fluctuated. However, after listening to what it said, Song Shu stopped talking, lay down sullenly, and hid himself in the quilt.
555 had no choice but to ask: [Do you have any other questions? ]
"No."
There was a movement from the bulge on the bed. After twisting around, a messy head popped out. "555, do you know where Qing Xiao is?"
【Not clear.】
555 feels that Song Shu's focus is always skewed. Doesn't Song Shu know that there will be no such shop after this village? Next time when asked about jealousy value, it may not be able to answer.
Song Shu retracted his head and fiddled with it for a while, "Do you think Shui Lan will hate me to death?"
The sound coming from under the quilt was still a little unclear, and the emotions conveyed were also vague.
Song Shu repeated: "Shui Lian, I think she hates me to death."
Originally, she set up many restrictions and locked him in the room because she hated him, intending to starve him to death. In the end, he didn't starve to death, but Qing Xiao was indirectly missing because of him, and Shui Lian couldn't help but curse his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Song Shu banged his head against the quilt in despair. Sure enough, the first lesson of a otaku's life is to have the courage to be hated by others.
Song Shu couldn't help but think that if Shui Lian hadn't chosen to take him away with her, they probably wouldn't have been chased so hard by Bo Wen, and Qing Xiao wouldn't have disappeared.
Thinking further, those dozens of people may have died because of him. He changed the original plot point. They were supposed to be rescued in the fire, but they were taken away by the water. A series of chain reactions led to the deaths of these people.
555 was silent for a while, [Why don’t you think about it? If Qing Xiao hadn’t been stupid enough to come back to find you, the things that happened later wouldn’t have happened. ]
Song Shu suddenly realized: "What you said makes sense."
He really didn't know why Qing Xiao came back to find him. He and Qing Xiao had met less than three digits of times, so why was Qing Xiao so devoted to him and wanted to save him?
555: [You don't have to care so much, just treat them as NPCs and imagine that this is a game. ]
Like a mole in whack-a-mole, Song Shu popped up again, blushing, "Although you finally said something that made sense, it's not what I like to hear."
555 waved his hand. When you know that Alice has taken away something, there will be more that you won’t want to hear.
555 watched Song Shu sitting there in a daze, then he couldn't sit still anymore and fell back to sleep, not forgetting to cover himself with the quilt in a daze.
555: [……]
A second ago, it was afraid that Song Shu would blame himself too much for this matter, but now it seems that it was overthinking.
Song Shu's emotions were indeed very complicated, but he was used to using sleep to escape from many things - if he couldn't figure it out, then just stop thinking about it, and everything could be in his dreams.
He is open-minded, so naturally he can quickly let go of many people or things by avoiding them.
After 555 realized this, he felt that Song Shu would most likely be locked up in a small dark room in the future.
…
The next day, Song Shu was still a little weak, but generally he was able to walk, which meant he could have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Ellis.
Song Shu was looking forward to it, and it would have been even better if Lilith wasn't there. But the next second after the thought came to his mind, he received good news: Lilith was out today and would not be at the house all day.
Yay, yay, time alone with my wife! Song Shu was secretly happy.
He planned to get up early, chat with Alice about the humanities and geography that Alice liked during breakfast, pour a glass of Alice's favorite drink at lunch time, and tell her about a few dishes that Alice liked at dinner time, and say that he liked them too when asked.
Common topic +1+1+1
Song Shu even made a list.
1. When serving food to Alice, be sure to use serving chopsticks/fork, and be sure to do it neatly and elegantly.
2. Pour Alice her favorite juice. Because everyone around her drinks strong liquor, Alice secretly thinks that drinking juice is childish, so she always avoids this hobby (Oh, what a lovely wife. Song Shu will give his wife enough to drink today.
3. Remember to say goodnight to Alice.
4.……
After reading 555, everyone exclaimed, what a pure love manual for otakus.
Song Shu drew a Q version of Alice at the end of today's plan. Because he remembered that Alice helped him out yesterday, Song Shu drew a male version of Alice.
Compared to the sunny and cheerful female version, the male version of Alice is more indifferent and fierce.
They are all equally beautiful, his beautiful wives.
Song Shu picked up the plan book and smiled like a pervert, then pouted and kissed the Q version of Alice.
555 eyes moved.
Anyway... Song Shu doesn't know that Alice is a man yet. When he finds out, he can still recall the embarrassment.
…
Breakfast started soon.
For fear of irritating his stomach, Song Shu prefers light food.
Song Shu loves sweet, sour and spicy food, and light food is not his first choice. But the person sitting opposite him is Alice, and he can eat two large bowls of rice even if he eats air.
Song Shu observed where Alice put her chopsticks, and sure enough, every dish she liked was the same as he guessed. The men's clothing Alice in front of him slowly overlapped with the women's clothing Alice in his mind, and the smile that naturally poured down from Song Shu's lips was harder to suppress than AK.
If he hadn't been afraid that Alice would know he was peeking, he would have been able to peek until the end of breakfast.
555:……
Same thing, Ellis is also peeking at you.
During the fruit dessert session after the meal, Song Shu followed the plan and started chatting with Alice by starting with the topic that Alice was interested in.
Perhaps this is what it means to have similar interests. Song Shu was able to catch every word Alice threw out, and the topic Song Shu threw back was what Alice liked.
The conversations always started with a surprised "Do you like this too?" and the two got along better and better as they talked.
Song Shu was very happy. Alice was his creation, and he knew everything about her.
He liked to see Alice's surprised expression when she heard her favorite topic or saw her favorite dish. Because this was something he had carefully prepared for a long time, and he could finally do it with Alice. At this time, Alice's emotional fluctuations all came from him, which made Song Shu feel particularly happy.
Song Shu doesn't know how to hide his emotions, and most of the time he has a blank expression, but his emotions always come out from somewhere.
Curled fingers, burning earlobes, wandering eyes...
These were all signals of Song Shu's shyness and joy that Ellis captured.
These signals always made Ellis look into Song Shu's highly deceptive eyes.
He is so happy that it seems like he is only looking at you, but in fact there is a huge trap ahead.
But many people are willing to step into it even if they know it is a trap.
Song Shu was still talking excitedly. After quietly waiting for him to finish, Ellis curled his fingers and said softly, "Teacher, I have something to deal with before noon."
Song Shu paused, with a look of disappointment on his face, and a faint light in his eyes. "Well, you go and deal with it first, and we can continue the conversation after lunch?"
Song Shu and Alice were talking about the history of the Abraham continent. This was the background of the game, and Song Shu knew all the descriptions by heart.
The formation of the Arab continent was due to a violent crustal movement. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and flash floods caused the continent to split and sink to the bottom of the sea. Hundreds of millions of years later, the sea of life was born and God created humans...
ps: The historical background has absolutely nothing to do with the game.
555: [What were you thinking when you designed it? ]
Song Shu thought about it and said, "I just want to look more impressive this way."
555: […Hehe.]
Still very rustic.
However, the two of them chatted about this very earthy topic for almost the entire morning.
555 suspects that the important thing is not the topic, but the person you are chatting with. These two people can start a conversation even if you throw SpongeBob to them.
Fortunately, this boring topic is finally coming to an end.
"Will you continue with lunch?"
Song Shu looked over longingly, he still wanted to be with Alice.
"Maybe I won't be able to get back in time at noon."
Every word of Ellis's words seemed to be disassembled in the air, and as they slowly popped out, Song Shu's eyes changed from bright with expectation to dim with disappointment.
Ellist paused, "I'm going to the old town to take care of some business. Do you want to come with me, teacher?"
Song Shu's eyes lit up again, "Is it okay?"
Ellis didn't comment and gave the choice to Song Shu, "As long as the teacher wants."
…
The place Ellis was going to was the slums in the old city, the cruelest and most realistic place in the continent of Abraham.
Unlike the gorgeous creamy white buildings in the main city, the houses here are like small containers, densely packed together and distributed along the mountains and roads. From a distance, they look like tightly connected beehives.
In order to facilitate his travel, Song Shu pretended to be Ellis's bodyguard and followed Ellis throughout the trip.
There was another young man with Song Shu, wearing a mask and a hood. He was even more mysterious than Song Shu. Song Shu temporarily called him "Hood Brother".
The slums are a mixed bag of people, with local forces intertwined and often fighting, but their common enemy is the nobles. The nobles are hated here, so Song Shu was very careful to cover up his vest.
Although it is a slum, the garbage on the road is piled in an orderly manner, the flowers and plants on the roadside are beautifully trimmed, and there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.
Song Shu knew that this was the result of Ellis's arrival. Before this, everything in the slums, which were divided by several local forces, was in disorder and chaos.
Hehehe, his wife is so awesome.
Noticing the increasingly passionate and admiring gazes behind him, Ellis paused slightly, then continued walking as if nothing had happened.
…
This time, Ellis did not have a carriage like some arrogant nobles who wanted to fill up the entire street. He only brought two guards and a few secret guards to protect him, and he shuttled between the streets like a fish.
This is the true meaning of coming from the masses and going to the masses.
Song Shu had been flattering herself in her heart non-stop, and 555 couldn't stand it anymore and went offline.
After passing through another alley, the three of them stopped in front of a door.
"Just wait for me at the door," Ellis stroked his sleeves and said to the hooded man, "Protect the teacher."
Although he was talking to the hooded man, he had to respond to his wife's words. Song Shu was like a primary school student, pecking at rice and promising: "I will pay attention to safety."
Ellis smiled and went back into the house. Song Shu was so mesmerized by that smile that she didn't even want to blink, fearing that she would forget it if she blinked. It wasn't until her eyes became sore that she blinked half a beat late.
The person Ellis wanted to negotiate with was the local bully in the slum. Song Shu knew that he couldn't help and didn't want to cause trouble, so he waited obediently at the door with Brother Hood.
The first five minutes he was poking and drawing on the ground with a stick, and at ten minutes he was beginning to worry about Ellis's safety.
He stood up, "We're just gonna be here, with him in there, is that okay?"
The guy in the hood was very cool and didn't even look at Song Shu.
Song Shu is actually not a particularly talkative person, but when no one pays attention to him when he is talking, he automatically starts to mutter.
"Ellis should be back soon. It's been a quarter of an hour."
Brother Hood was obviously a cold-blooded person. After listening to Song Shu's mumbling, he even distanced himself from Song Shu.
Song Shu: “…”
Who is afraid of who?
Song Shu also stood a little further away.
Another ten minutes passed and Ellis still hadn't come out. Song Shu's legs felt a little sore, so he squatted down again and poked and drew with the stick.
At this time, I don’t know if Brother Hood felt guilty and actually took the initiative to talk to him.
Hooded Brother: "I recognize you."
The hoarse and unpleasant voice, Song Shu didn't react at first and looked up in confusion, huh? Who is talking?
The hooded man added, "You were locked in there, and I found you."
Song Shu finally identified the person he was talking to, but he was not quite sure of the hooded guy's intention, so he refused to speak.
Another smaller aspect that's not worth mentioning is that he's very petty - he was embarrassed before, and now it's Hood's turn to be embarrassed.
However, the hooded man had obviously seen the world, and continued to speak: "Who locked you up?"
Why are you so gossipy? Song Shu pouted and continued to embarrass the hooded guy.
“…”
"Do you hate the people who locked you up?"
Song Shu wanted to answer this question, but he shook his head: "No hatred."
This sentence silenced the hooded man. After a long while, Song Shu finally heard a voice: "Why?"
Whenever Song Shu thought of Shui Lan, he always felt a little complicated.
The branches scratched a scar in the ground, and the overflowing soil looked like vomited blood.
Song Shu drew randomly without any technique and spoke as if he was talking to himself.
"He, that person has helped me a lot. There's no need to talk about hatred."
As if he had gotten the answer, Brother Hood moved away from Song Shu again, even further away than before.
Song Shu: “……!!”
Song Shu felt like throwing the stick.
…
It was half an hour later that Ellis came out. During this half hour, Brother Hood was absent from his post and did not say a word to Song Shu.
Song Shu snorted coldly and magnanimously did not complain to Ellis. Ellis, however, only saw him and frowned: "Where is Shui Lian?"
Song Shu muttered in his heart, I didn't complain. Then he shook his head sincerely: "I don't know, he seemed to have left half an hour ago."
And then react.
Water...water...ripples?!
Song Shu is elegant.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Ellis asked puzzledly.
Song Shu's face was disheveled in the wind, and he managed to utter, "Nothing, nothing."
What the hell did he just say to Shui Lian???
Song Shu and Ellis returned to the house, feeling dazed all the way.
The hooded guy is Shui Lian?
Song Shu was still thinking about this question until dinner, and then he felt so embarrassed and ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.
He may never want to face Shui Lan again in his life.
Lilith will not be back until tomorrow morning. Song Shu had originally thought of a topic to talk about with Alice about dinner, but now he felt a little gloomy and couldn't quite muster up the energy.
Under the bright lights of the restaurant, Ellis put down his chopsticks and asked, "Teacher, did something happen to you today? Do you want to continue chatting?"
Song Shu hesitated for a moment, "Is it Shui Lian who went out with me today?"
"Yeah, I met him when I was visiting the other day."
Ellis did not choose to hide it, "I also know something about the teacher's situation."
Now Song Shu didn't know how to respond, because he didn't expect Ellis to tell him so much frankly.
Compared to his previous indifference to Song Shu, Ellis's attitude was vaguely gentle: "If the teacher feels uncomfortable, I will let him leave here."
Song Shu shook his head frantically: "No, no, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
"I still feel the same way as a teacher..."
Since he had decided to change Song Shu's ending, Ellis still considered Song Shu's feelings first, but he was interrupted and Song Shu said, "He is a very talented child."
Song Shu said this sincerely for Ellis' sake. He chose to train Shui Lian in the first place because he believed that Shui Lian could help Ellis after being recruited by Ellis.
Ellis was stunned.
Song Shu's eyes were bright, showing admiration, appreciation, and deep love for him.
It's strange to say, but when getting along with Song Shu, Song Shu always puts him in a weak position. Sometimes Ellis would strangely feel that Song Shu was treating him as a member of the opposite sex.
This idea is inexplicable because Ellis is not a woman.
Ellis felt strange, but smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to the teacher."
Song Shu nodded like a little chicken, and said brightly, "You look very beautiful when you smile."
My wife’s smile is the best in the world, and he will be the one to protect her from now on!
It was an inexplicable, sudden and abrupt compliment. However, Ellis' eyes flickered and he seemed to enjoy it.
Hehehe, in fact, under the cold appearance of my wife, there is a sincere and pure heart. It turns out that my arrogant wife likes to be praised. Song Shu is very happy. He will praise his wife more in the future.
Seeing Ellis's red ears by chance, Song Shu struck while the iron was hot: "I went out today and the situation in the old city is much better than I thought."
"This is probably all thanks to you. You are very talented."
The redness spread to her collarbone, and Ellis drank a glass of water to cover it up.
555: Oh, you can’t stand it? If Song Shu let out all the flattery in her heart, you would be dizzy and confused.
Song Shu knew Ellis, so he just praised him briefly, but the sparkling admiring look in his eyes never stopped.
555: [……]
It was another pleasant dinner. The relationship between Song Shu and Ellis was developing rapidly.
Song Shu had completely put the embarrassing incident behind him. When he was humming a song and returning to his room, he received a warm reminder from 555.
555: [Didn’t you notice that Ellis is pulling you aboard?]
"ah?"
Song Shu whispered shyly: "Sex or something, isn't it too fast?"
555: […Haha, I mean getting on a boat, a boat with grasshoppers on it.]
After Song Shu accidentally confessed to Ellis last time when he was unconscious, Ellis seemed to have awakened something. 555 naturally knew that it was wrong to get on the boat, because Ellis was not using Song Shu, on the contrary, he wanted to protect Song Shu.
It was obvious that Song Shu wanted to side with Klein, and Ellis wanted to pull Song Shu back because Ellis knew Klein's background and how dangerous he was. If Song Shu followed Klein, he would end up dead.
Ellis wants to change all this, and even for Song Shu, Ellis now wants to fight for the position of king.
He was unreserved towards Song Shu, all for the sake of protecting Song Shu.
555 didn't understand. I don't know when Ellis had fallen deeper than Song Shu. Fortunately, Ellis was not a person who showed his emotions too much. Even if he liked someone, he would just be introverted and silently give his all and plan everything. Otherwise, 555 doubted that Song Shu would be so enthusiastic to rush over and have sex with Ellis.
At this point the logic of the plot line has become shattered, but at least the plot point is correct.
Ellis was wrong. 555 was afraid that if it didn't remind Song Shu, Song Shu would simply ignore the plot.
555: [Don't forget, you are from Klein's camp.]
Although the system does not judge those rainbow farts as ooc, the plot camp must not be wrong.
Song Shu fell on the bed, his body sunk into the soft quilt, and muffled his voice: "I know, I know."
It was very perfunctory, and I couldn't remember it at all.
555 emphasized: [Ellis is using you. ]
555 didn't think there was anything wrong with it saying this to deceive Song Shu, because sooner or later Song Shu would find out that Ellis was a man, and sooner or later he would run away as fast as he could.
555 thought that after saying this, Song Shu would at least be alert, but unexpectedly, Song Shu laughed perversely and rolled around on the bed with the quilt in his arms.
"Really? My wife is so scheming, I like it so much, come and use me!"
My dear wife, I am really not a bean, sukisuki [holding heart]
Song Shu's heart was in a knot, but his face was expressionless.
Damn, this otaku has a perverted love brain.
Wife, right? Be careful, it might be bigger than yours.
