Chapter 177 Ye Zheng Seeks Death
Bai Zhaoyan opened his mouth to answer when he heard the system's voice.
[System: Host, Ye Zheng has gone out.]
Her voice was stuck in her throat, and she changed the subject, "Okay, tomorrow, we'll talk about this tomorrow. Don't worry, go back and rest."
"You..." Tong Xu watched Bai Zhaoyan sneak out of the door with his mouth pouting, and then sat down angrily, "You just know how to put me off."
Bai Zhaoyan is the most annoying.
Ye Zheng left the house and walked towards the river without stopping.
It was already midnight, most of the tribesmen were asleep, and the river was deserted.
He didn't bring any lights, but went downstream by moonlight and went into the water alone.
The river water is very cool, which can slightly relieve the burning heat surging in my body.
His flesh and blood felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down his temples into the rippling river water.
Ye Zheng closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and let his body sink into the dark river water.
The shore was overgrown with weeds, and only the faint moonlight shone dimly, making the scene extremely desolate.
When Bai Zhaoyan chased to the river, he could only vaguely see a figure in the water. His hair color and clothes were very conspicuous in the night.
Her heart sank and she hurriedly went into the water to drag the person back.
Ye Zheng felt a strong force pulling at the back of his neck and suddenly stuck his head out of the water. Bai Zhaoyan had no time to retract his force and staggered two steps, falling into the water with Ye Zheng.
The river water reached her waist, but she didn't care about the wetness and coldness, and half-knelt in the water to check on Ye Zheng's condition.
Ye Zheng's white hair was wet, and water droplets kept sliding down his eyes. He wiped his face, inserted his five fingers into his hair and pushed it all back, revealing his smooth and full forehead.
As soon as I opened my eyes, someone held my cheek.
Looking at Bai Zhaoyan who was so close, a hint of surprise flashed in his bright purple eyes, "Zhaoyan, why are you here?"
When he went out, he specifically listened and said that Zhao Yan should be with Tong Xu.
"Are you looking for death?" Bai Zhaoyan's voice was a little stiff, as if he was deliberately suppressing his anger.
Ye Zheng was startled, realizing that she must have misunderstood. He raised his hand and placed it on the back of her hand, wrapping her hand in his palm. He said softly, "No, I just want to take a cold shower."
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
He won't die easily until it comes to that.
Bai Zhaoyan knelt on the inside of his legs, holding his face and looking at him carefully, trying to see whether he was lying or not.
Ye Zheng bent one leg slightly, leaned his body back, and supported himself on the riverbed with one hand.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Bai Zhaoyan looked at him for a long time and sighed silently in his heart, "Why didn't you tell me you were not feeling well?"
"Will you keep silent until I find out?"
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat, "No."
"Zhao Yan..."
"Aren't we husband and wife?"
She let go of Ye Zheng and sat back somewhat exhausted, her body swaying gently with the waves. She belatedly felt her legs go weak.
When she saw Ye Zheng sinking into the water just now, she thought he was dead.
Bai Zhaoyan's voice was calm as he stated the facts in a low voice.
They always have various reasons to make deception and concealment sound so nice.
"Zhao Yan." Ye Zheng held her in his arms, stood up and walked towards the shore, "Let me explain." "It's not what you think. I didn't mean that."
Bai Zhaoyan was very confident that he would not fall, so she did not answer. She slightly raised her head and stared at the moonlight in the sky, sighing silently in her heart.
So tired.
Ye Zheng smoothed the dry grass and placed Bai Zhaoyan on it. Looking at her wet trouser legs and shoes, he whispered, "Sorry."
He didn't mean it.
Gathering dry branches and withered grass leaves together, Ye Zheng skillfully started a fire. "After hearing about the final fate of those fox tribes, I knew that there was no solution to Ji Le."
“I didn’t expect that I would…”
"I think I can only break free from Bliss's control by myself. I won't tell you..."
Bai Zhaoyan suddenly spoke up and said, "You don't want me to worry."
Ye Zheng: "..."
She could already guess what Ye Zheng was going to say.
Bai Zhaoyan wanted to tell him that since they were already husband and wife, they could share everything, but she remembered that Ye Zheng's affection for her was not yet full, and he probably didn't consider her as someone he could trust, so she remained silent in the end.
Seeing her expression change, Ye Zheng roasted her shoes with a bit of flattery.
After a long while, Bai Zhaoyan looked at his half-dried shoes and pants and said, "I have to go back first. If you still feel uncomfortable, soak for a while longer."
In this situation, she really couldn't help him.
Since this is Ye Zheng’s own business and he doesn’t want her to know, she won’t interfere.
Ye Zheng stood up with her, "It doesn't hurt anymore, let's go back."
The two of them walked slowly towards home. Ye Zheng had never felt the silence between them was so uncomfortable.
He was not a talkative person, but he had many topics to talk about in front of Zhaoyan. However, seeing that she was in a bad mood, he guessed it was because of him. He didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
Zhaoyan was angry with herself.
This was the only thought he had.
After returning home, Bai Zhaoyan greeted Ye Zheng and went into the bedroom, not wanting to say a word to him.
As soon as the door closed, a sleepy and familiar voice came from inside, "Bai Zhaoyan."
She turned her head to look at the table. The candlelight was dimly lit. Tong Xu lay on the table and rubbed his eyes. "Why did you come back just now?"
"I've written down a lot of names. I already know them. Take a look."
Bai Zhaoyan looked at the full page of Tong Xu, and saw that he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep if you're tired?"
Tong Xu stretched and let out a long sigh, "I said I must know your answer today."
"You can't get away."
Bai Zhaoyan: “…”
She sat down opposite Tong Xu, "Tong Xu, what do you like about me?"
"I like everything." Tong Xu supported his chin, "Because it's you, I like it very much."
"Your name is Bai Zhaoyan, so I like Bai Zhaoyan too. You are the leader of Qingyan, so I like the Qingyan tribe too."
Because it was her, her name happened to be Bai Zhaoyan, he liked her, no matter what.
Bai Zhaoyan suddenly fell silent and looked at Tong Xu quietly.
He was rhythmically shaking his head slightly left and right, his bright blue eyes reflecting the scattered warm yellow light of the candlelight and his own figure.
Tong Xu was so naive that she really didn't know what to do with him.
"If, within two years of my contract with you, I were to die, and you were left without a wife, would you be willing to do that?"
"Huh?" Tong Xu's last trace of sleepiness was dispelled by her words, "Am I unlucky for you?"
"If I make a pact with you, you will die. If I don't make a pact with you, you won't die?"
"Is it such a magical thing?" He admitted that he was a bit annoying, but not fatal.
