Jealousy (5)
On the day of the autumn outing, Song Shu met the people traveling with him: Shui Lian, Qing Xiao, an unknown shadow guard, and Bo Wen's spies*3.
The above six people are only the ones who protect Song Shu closely. There will be church knights and stalkers accompanying him in the future, both overt and covert, and the main purpose of the trip is to keep a "low" profile.
The other people accompanying him were all acquaintances, and Song Shu's private carriage was also very conspicuous.
The exterior is pitch black, and the interior is also pitch black. The whole car is like a black hole that emits negative energy, making people not want to get close to it. But Song Shu, who is extremely immature, likes it very much. If Shui Lan and Qing Xiao were not in it, Song Shu would like it even more.
Because there were other people around, Song Shu had to be polite in the carriage. The carriage was very spacious, and he squinted his eyes and slumped on the soft couch, while Shui Lan massaged his shoulders and Qing Xiao massaged his legs.
Song Shu hypnotized himself that one was a shoulder and neck massager and the other was a fascia gun. Finally, he accepted the service comfortably and started the journey drowsily.
The autumn outing was held in a remote dark forest. The dark forest was filled with strong demonic energy, and high-level demon beasts were rampant. There were frequent attacks on villages by demon beasts.
Under the guise of an autumn outing, this was a hunting game for the princes and also a test for the children by the king. Song Shu was the invigilator in this test.
Even with high-level speed-up magic cast on the carriage, it still takes a day to travel from the main city to the Dark Forest. Song Shu spent most of his time in the carriage holding a book and pretending to be sleepy.
Shui Lan and Qing Xiao had already obeyed the instructions and went to the carriage behind.
The temperature in the carriage was constant, and Song Shu couldn't help feeling hot sleeping on the couch. His well-groomed black hair was spread out, his hair was like ink, and his face was like jade. He ripped two buttons of his thin, soft silk shirt, and his white collarbone and chest turned pink because of the heat. A book fell beside him, and his fingertips held it weakly, and it seemed to slip off, but in the end, it seemed to be lifted by something and gently fell back onto the couch.
A light breeze blew outside the carriage, bringing in a fallen leaf.
It was already dusk when Song Shu rubbed his eyes. He moved his fingers weakly and raised his eyelids lazily.
"System, what time is it?"
555: [Four o'clock in the afternoon.]
Song Shu sat up, and the quilt fell off, feeling a little strange. He probably didn't cover himself with a quilt before going to bed. He raised his hand and found a fallen leaf beside him.
Probably because it was blown in by the wind, Song Shu didn't care. He twisted the veins of the leaf and put it in the book in a good mood. He said in a boastful tone: "555, I'm about to meet Alice."
Song Shu thought she would be ridiculed, but unexpectedly 555 was very respectful: [Well, does this have any unique meaning? ]
Song Shu paused for a long time, as if he was looking for an adjective, but in the end he failed. He pursed his lips and said, "I can't describe it, but I can tell you that I am very excited and a little bit want to cry."
If they were playing games and watching anime, they would be separated by a dimensional wall, and Song Shu would never have such a strong desire to meet. But now they don't have that insurmountable wall, and all that's left is time and distance.
What a wonderful description of the time and distance that can be crossed. No longer need to press the F key to escape from reality, he and she already live under the same sky and breathe the same air.
555 stopped talking.
Song Shu lay down again with ease, legs slightly bent, fingers like a work of art falling in the afterglow, a smile faintly visible on his lips.
Alice, see you soon.
…
At night, the carriage was still moving fast, and Song Shu had already started eating the fruit after dinner. Shui Lian and Bo Wenyanxian*1 were serving him.
Song Shu was still lying on the couch, having read the magic textbook over and over again. He was not impatient, because he could not understand it at all, so he just treated it as a picture.
Shui Lian picked up a grape with a fork and handed it to Song Shu's mouth. Song Shu stared at the pages of the book, tilted his head and opened his mouth to eat it.
As the beads were fed one by one, the carriage became so quiet that the only sounds were the turning of pages and... the sound of Shui Lan's own heartbeat.
Shui Lian saw it very clearly.
Song Shu's lips are always very red. She slightly opened her moist lips and held the grape in her mouth. The tip of her tongue extended a little and the whole grape was rolled in.
The silver fruit forks that were collected back also had some water stains on them.
After feeding the whole plate of fruit, he should leave. But Shui Lian stared at the fruit fork for a long time while cleaning the fruit plate.
When I licked it with the tip of my tongue, I first felt the coldness of the silver cutlery, and then the sweet and slightly sour taste of the grapes.
Does that person's saliva have any smell?
Shui Lian clenched her fingers anxiously.
He stayed with the Duke during this period, and the more they met, the more obsessed he became.
He had to restrain himself and also had to cut off those thoughts rudely.
The Duke had no shortage of people who would throw themselves at his feet. He watched Song Shu train those people, and also watched those people throw themselves into his arms.
envy.
Shui Lan tasted jealousy all her life.
………
[Ding, jealousy value detected 5%. ]
Song Shu was fishing secretly, and the system's prompt almost made him sit up. He looked around and found that there was no one else in the carriage except him.
"What's the jealousy value?"
Before Song Shu finished asking, the carriage jolted and outside came the sound of fire, the sound of swords clashing, and an angry shout: "Kill that bastard Orpheus! Aim at the black carriage!"
Song Shu: “???”
Is his title Duke Orpheus?
Before Song Shu could lift the curtain of the carriage, the sound of fighting had stopped. A fallen leaf floated into the carriage, and a person appeared in front of him like a fallen leaf.
The man was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a black robe with a hood covering his face, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled.
There was a very obvious family emblem on the black robe - he was a hidden guard hired by the Orpheus family.
Not to kill him.
Song Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought he was going to die on the eve of meeting Alice.
Isn't this the case in many TV dramas? The hero always encounters an accident when he goes to meet the heroine.
Song Shu said coldly, "What happened?"
"They are a few refugee assassins who ambushed here in advance."
"The secret guards failed to monitor properly and frightened the Duke. I am here to ask for punishment."
The man's voice was very hoarse, as if his vocal cords had rolled in the sand. It was not unpleasant to the ear, but it sounded a bit harsh and stuck, which seemed to be caused by the fact that the hidden guard rarely spoke.
But what was the punishment? Before Song Shu could figure out what was going on, Ying had already started taking off his robe.
Under the black robe, the shadow's upper body was tightly bound by a leather belt, and the black trousers were tucked into the boots. His body was very young, and the young man's body had both strength and beauty, every bit was just right.
Song Shu was somewhat envious and jealous, as this was the paper-thin body he had always dreamed of. At the same time, his hands were itching to use a brush to perfectly record this body on paper.
After Ying took off his outer robe, he caught a glimpse of Song Shu's scrutinizing and indifferent profile in his peripheral vision, and his hand holding the hood was shaking a little.
He hadn't been allowed to appear in front of Song Shu for a long time.
Song Shu didn't have long hair before, and she wasn't very good at taking care of it. Now her silky black hair was loose, and her snow-like face looked even paler in the dim light.
When Yingxi was trying to come over, Song Shu had already learned how to deal with this kind of situation. He raised his chin and looked arrogant, "Your body is so ugly, get out."
Humph, it’s good to be a duke with a changeable temperament. No matter when you lose your temper, it can’t be said to be ooc, and you can also scare away a group of perverted men.
Perhaps Song Shu's words were too hurtful, Ying's body stiffened and finally she dropped her hands.
The car became quiet again. The shadow came like a falling leaf and there was no sound when it left.
555 suddenly spoke up: [Don't you think Ying looks familiar? ]
Song Shu recalled: "Indeed, he is familiar with her. It seems that he is an admirer of Alice in the future?"
In the main storyline, Ying is not with Alice and is the loser in the love struggle.
Song Shu suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, as he couldn't be with Alice either.
In this unrequited love that ended in vain, who isn’t a loser?
555 asked again out of nowhere: [Have you ever picked up a child? ]
Song Shu thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. "No, I did dream about picking up a child."
"In my dream, I remember picking up a cute girl with long hair. I originally wanted to raise her as my sister, but when she grew up, I was told that she was a boy. When I took her out, she was older than me, and she said she liked me. I really wanted to carry my house and run away from the earth to live on Mars."
555: [Your dream is quite interesting.]
Coincidentally, Ying was picked up by Duke Orpheus, and then abandoned for no reason and became Orpheus's secret guard.
"This isn't fun, this is scary!" Song Shu complained, "I was scared to death in my dream, okay?"
After knowing that the child was a boy, Song Shu felt no different from carrying a train to settle on Mars. Because he knew it was a dream, he abandoned the child without any psychological burden.
Song Shu glanced at the sky outside and said excitedly, "There are only ten hours left before I can see Alice."
555 glanced at the jealousy value that was rising wildly and then falling steadily to 5%, and couldn't help but worry about the future of this host.
Song Shuzhen only has Alice in his eyes.
If "jealousy" knew...it would probably go crazy with jealousy.
555 still feels that as a system, it is necessary for it to warn the host.
[You are here to collect jealousy points in this world. ]
In other words, Song Shu is actually in the fast-travel division of the "Seven Deadly Sins". Because this information involves some confidential information, 555 cannot disclose it. Now 555 has given a friendly reminder, but Song Shu's mind is full of Alice and he doesn't take it seriously at all. "Yeah, didn't it just increase by 5%?"
【……】
555: [Hmm.]
————
Ten hours was just a matter of sleeping. When Song Shu woke up, the carriage was already at its destination.
Bo Wen learned that Song Shu was attacked in the middle of the night, so he specially asked Ying to change from a secret guard to a personal knight to follow Song Shu.
Ying followed Song Shu faithfully as ordered. He was always silent, with a black hood and mask, revealing only a pair of light honey-colored eyes, like melted amber.
In addition to Song Shu's carriage, there were several royal carriages with platinum exteriors and led by pure-blooded golden white horses not far away.
Compared to Song Shu's carriage, which was painted black from head to toe, the royal carriage was full of mystery, richness and romance.
Three young men with the same platinum hair color came down from the carriage one after another.
Seeing Song Shu staring at her so intently, with a foolish and naive look, 555 couldn't bear it after all, and hinted again: [Do you think this Alice is special? ]
555 thought, with this Adam's apple and this figure, it was obvious that he was a man. With this reminder, Song Shu could tell at a glance.
Not far away, the "girl" jumped down from the carriage. Her hair falling in the air shone golden in the sun. Her mixed-race face was delicate, and her clear eyes like a deer seemed to be looking in the direction of Song Shu with awareness.
A thin blush began to spread from the earlobe. Song Shu stood there like a wooden man, answering 555 completely instinctively. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously and he couldn't help murmuring, "Yes, very, very beautiful."
555 mute the microphone.
Come on, you're totally hopeless.
