Chapter 177 Going Out for Negotiations
Now that they have decided to cooperate, the next step is to negotiate to test each other's bottom line and determine each other's bargaining chips.
It's late at night.
Not suitable for going out.
Scarlett told everyone to have a good rest and get enough energy so that they could go together tomorrow.
The house is not big, and it is a bit crowded for seventeen people to live in it. Fortunately, Toby and his friends are not picky. They pushed the sofa and coffee table to the corner, spread a blanket, covered themselves with a quilt, and slept in the living room.
Tyron and Brian, who were originally planning to sleep in the living room, had nowhere to go, so they had to sleep upstairs and find someone to stay with for the night.
Brian found Ashley.
Tyron glanced at Riley, "Switch?"
Riley's lips curled up into a small smile, "Okay."
…
…
Scarlett pushed open the bathroom door, looked out following the light, and saw Terran sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Why are you here?" she asked in surprise.
Terran raised his eyes, his deep blue eyes sweeping across Scarlett's face, which was slightly flushed by the heat. "Don't you like seeing me?"
Scarlett was stunned for a moment and moved forward. "I remember it was Riley today."
"He switched with me."
Tai Lun raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "If you don't like it, I can change it back."
"It doesn't matter."
Scarlett walked out of the bathroom and pointed to the tent in the room, "And, your bed is there."
Tyron didn't move, "I want to sleep with you."
Scarlett: “…”
Lie down in the quilt.
There's a large distance between Scarlett and Terran, so it's no problem for one more person to sleep with them.
Scarlett closed her eyes, pretending nothing had happened, and kept hypnotizing herself in her mind.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.
Nothing happens when you fall asleep.
At this moment, a restless hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. The next second, Terran pressed forward and pressed on Scarlett, staring at her face with his deep and lonely blue eyes. "Scarlett, you haven't seen Sylvia for so many days. Aren't you worried about him?"
Scarlett was startled for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes, "What happened to Sevilla?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Tai Lun's eyes. "If you are worried about him, why didn't you ask me before? Aren't you afraid that I would kill him?"
"Will you kill him?" Scarlett asked instead of answering.
Tyron's eyes licked Scarlett's calm face, "Yes."
Scarlett was silent for a few seconds, then she narrowed her eyes and laughed, "You had a month to die before I came. Why didn't you do it?"
Terran looked at her without saying anything.
A ray of moonlight slanted in and fell into Scarlett's eyes. Her light golden pupils were shining, and she looked extremely cold, but her voice was full of warmth.
"Tyron, you don't want to die. You never wanted to die. You just need recognition, an independent identity. You need someone to truly know you, not just think of you through Sevilla's face."
Tyron still said nothing.
Staring intently at Scarlett.
His cold gaze traced Scarlett's petal-like lips, and as he watched them open and close, his Adam's apple slid slightly, releasing a hint of hunger.
He longed for her.
But he longed more for her who loved him sincerely.
He let go of his hand and lay back down.
a long time.
When Moonlight was about to leave the room.
He asked, "Scarlett, why do you like Sevilla?"
Brian also asked this question.
Scarlett recalled her response and was about to speak when Terran angrily pulled the blanket over his head and turned his back. "Forget it, I don't want to hear it."
Scarlett: “…”
"Also, if our souls lose the support of our bodies, they will temporarily drift on the bottom of the sea. Aside from being a little cold, there's no danger."
"It's not that I didn't want to change him back, but I opened my eyes and saw that something wasn't right with this world. I was worried that Sevilla wouldn't be able to accept it, so I didn't let him come back."
As soon as he came into this world, he was tied up by a group of people.
Thrown into a dark basement.
Stuffy environment.
A suffocating stench.
There were also cockroaches, rats, and twisted little bugs crawling around constantly.
After so many years of companionship, he has become accustomed to taking the blame for Sevilla whenever there is danger.
Even he himself could not resist this subconscious choice.
later.
He saw Scarlett.
He tried desperately to save himself in the cold lake and called out his own name.
That moment.
He really wants to replace Sevilla.
Let this body be a Tyrann.
Even if it's just for a few days.
Tyron thought in a trance.
The coolness behind me suddenly became warm.
Scarlett came over, hugged his trembling waist, buried her cheek in the back of his neck, and said in a muffled voice: "Tyron, you look like a child who hides in the quilt and cries because he can't get candy."
Tyron's body stiffened.
Only the heart beats rapidly.
The "thump thump" sound is particularly eye-catching in the quiet night.
"I like Sevilla because he is a very good person, genuinely kind and has no bad intentions."
He was the first fulcrum she found in this world.
Make her feel that the world is not so scary and that she is not alone.
"If I were like him, would you like me?" Terran asked tentatively, his voice stiff.
Scarlett said calmly, "Why should I be like him? Everyone has their own unique good qualities. You don't have to be similar to others to be good."
"Scarlett."
Tyron turned around and faced Scarlett, "Will you like me too?"
Two pairs of eyes looked at each other in the silent night.
Bright ideas surged from it.
The deeper the night gets, the more frequent the atmosphere of silence becomes.
This time.
Scarlett's eyes didn't evade, they were filled with moist mist, and her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly like the wings of a butterfly in the rainforest. "Yes."
…
…
The night is like a shooting star, passing by in a flash.
When the sky brightened, all the coldness lurking in the darkness dissipated, and the bright sun hung high in the sky, and the light it emitted passed through the thin mist and fell on the colorful buildings.
A new day is coming.
Scarlett took everyone out.
Walk out of the yard.
Neighbor Matthew came over quickly with a flattering smile on his face and a basket of fresh fruit in his hand.
He stopped Scarlett.
I had something to say.
When he saw that there were more than a dozen males following Scarlett, his throat choked and he couldn't say a word.
This, this, this.
So many people?
Mo Ting glanced at him, stretched out his hand and pushed him away, "Don't block the way."
Brian looked at the fruit in his basket, "For Scarlett?"
Matthew nodded.
Brian took it and said, "Thank you."
He took out a pear and threw it to Tailun.
I took one for myself, wiped the skin clean, and took a bite.
"The pears are good."
After giving a compliment, he walked on his own without any intention of paying any attention to Matthew.
The same goes for others.
Matthew just stood at the gate of Scarlett's yard and watched them leave.
My hands are empty.
There was a slight bitterness on his face.
It’s different to get rich suddenly.
In just two days, the beastly husband collected so much.
What a pity.
My father didn't give me a good face, otherwise I would have been able to get an identity.
Matthew shook his head in frustration.
Turn around and prepare to go home.
A tall figure suddenly appeared from a distance and walked straight towards him.
