Chapter 58 So Calm
The Tower of Babel came quickly and left quickly.
Since Chen Chigui was in the mansion, Gu Jinli did not keep him any longer after listening to the report from the Tower of Babel.
But through the narration of the Tower of Babel, she almost understood one thing.
That is, Shen Chigui has never given up on repairing the ancient fragments... She is still collecting treasures to replenish the energy she needs.
No wonder the heroine’s natal sword Ye Lan Yue has never been seen. I’m afraid it is the same as before... it has been used as the core of the repair magic circle.
Why is the heroine so obsessed with restoring ancient fragments?
Gu Jinli frowned, feeling puzzled and unable to help but have some guesses.
…
…
At 1:15 pm in the afternoon, Gu Jinli and Shen Chigui were playing chess in the yard.
The weather is nice and sunny today.
The willow spirit nearby returned to its normal appearance, its leaves swaying in the wind, free and full of vitality.
"Sister, I have something to give you after this game of chess."
Holding the white piece in hand and looking at the person opposite him, Shen Chigui was obviously in a good mood.
The two have been inseparable recently, spending the entire day in harmony, and their relationship is growing rapidly.
Just like they were really in love, they gave each other gifts and surprises from time to time, which had become a common occurrence.
"good."
Nodding as a sign of agreement, Gu Jinli held Heizi in her hand and said casually, "It just so happens that I have something I want to tell you."
It has been more than a month since the two of them 'opened their hearts'.
The favorability value has gradually reached ninety-three and is about to be full, causing Gu Jinli to be a little absent-minded recently.
She had not had time to verify the situation that Babel told her.
But I'm afraid there won't be time.
"What does my sister want to tell me?"
When he heard that someone wanted to talk to him, Shen Chigui immediately perked up.
She couldn't wait to put down the white piece in her hand, and then asked: "Can't you tell me now?!"
Her gift needed to be brought out, but her words did not.
"Play chess first."
Gu Jinli glanced at Chen Chigui's excited face, and pulled the corner of his mouth, saying helplessly: "I don't want to not be able to finish the game of chess."
"good."
Seeing that Gu Jinli was determined, Chen Chigui did not force her.
This feeling of anticipation made her feel good, and was actually more fascinating to her than the gift itself.
…
It would take some time to finish a game of chess originally, but now that he had a goal, Shen Chigui was not polite.
Her chess style suddenly became sharp, and she became ruthless in the areas that she had previously deliberately ignored and given in to.
Therefore, the game ended very quickly. Before Gu Jinli could react, he was completely killed.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Staring blankly at the entire chessboard, she felt for the first time how poor her chess skills were.
It's simply a bloody massacre!
So this guy has been giving in to me before? !
This is not releasing water, this is releasing the sea!
"It's over, sis."
Looking at the chessboard with satisfaction, Shen Chigui said with a smile: "You lose."
The game is over!
She was silently urging.
"Okay, I lose."
With a slight sigh, Gu Jinli moved his gaze away from the chessboard and finally fell on the face of the person opposite him.
Her bright and bold facial features are typical of her strong color style, and you will be struck by her beauty every time you see her.
Facing Chen Chigui's expectant eyes, Gu Jinli blinked: "So what are you going to give me? Can I take a look first?"
She was a little curious.
"Sister, please speak first~"
Pursing his lips, Shen Chigui acted like a spoiled child: "What on earth do you want to say?"
"My matter is more important..."
After a slight pause, Gu Jinli did not let go: "Let me see your gift first."
She was worried that after she finished speaking, Shen Chigui would no longer be in the mood to give gifts.
At least take a look first.
"Okay, sister is playing tricks~"
Having said this, Shen Chigui did not wait any longer.
She took something out of her storage bag and placed it directly on the table.
It was a beautiful sword, and looked very familiar.
Gu Jinli recognized it at the first sight.
"Ember Frost and Snow?"
She was a little surprised: "Where did you find it?"
This was her previous natal sword.
"Do you like it?"
With a smile on his face, Chen Chigui said frankly, "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but it took me some effort to find it."
"……Thanks."
I didn't expect that the gift this person gave me was actually Ember Frost Snow.
This was Gu Jinli's former natal sword, which had accompanied her for a long time.
But after the reboot, she didn't get it back.
After all, she had signed the contract with Ye Lanyue at the very beginning.
A person can only have one natal sword, and Gu Jinli can no longer contract with Jin Shuangxue.
For this reason, she gave up looking for it.
But unexpectedly, it was brought to me in this way.
"Sister, make the contract!"
As if he could not see Gu Jinli's hesitation, Shen Chigui urged with a smile: "This is your natal sword."
“…”
Reaching out and touching the familiar sword, Gu Jinli shook his head and said, "Thank you very much for helping me find it, but I don't plan to sign the contract now."
She withdrew her fingers from the sword, and she never picked up the Ember Frost.
The natal sword is spiritual and there is also a sword spirit.
Since she can't contract it, don't bother with it.
"Why~"
The smile on his face faded instantly, as if he had confirmed something.
The corners of Chen Chigui's lips turned down, and his tone became cold.
"It's because my sister can no longer sign a contract."
She asked: "My Ye Lan Yue...is contracted by my sister, right?"
Perhaps this gift itself is meant as a test.
But when he actually got the answer, Chen Chigui inevitably felt disappointed.
When she first discovered on the 36th floor that her natal sword had been contracted, she had made such a guess.
Without the binding of the contract, Ye Lanyue was not easy to use.
Every sword has its own temper. Although Chen Chigui can use Ye Lan Yue, he is unable to unleash the power of the sword.
Holding a disobedient sword, with the secret realm changing hands, Chen Chigui returned to Gucheng and experienced some not-so-wonderful days.
If she hadn't been so experienced, or if she hadn't been able to rely on her memory to find loopholes, it would be hard to say whether she could have survived.
"Sister is so cruel."
She knew the road she was going to take was full of thorns, but she still did it.
Both the secret realm and the natal sword were set by Gu Jinli. Chen Chigui actually had no right to blame Gu Jinli for taking these things away.
But she would still be disappointed...and hurt.
You're being targeted, aren't you?
By her Creator.
"I contracted Ye Lanyue, you should know why."
Seeing that Shen Chigui was unhappy, Gu Jinli pointed out calmly: "I hope you can stop the matter of the ancient fragments."
She didn't ask the other party whether he had done it or not, but she firmly hoped that he would stop.
"Stop? Why should you stop?"
With a sneer, Shen Chigui stared at her without blinking: "Sister is always like this, full of patience with everyone, and compassionate to everyone. But she is so cruel to me, and she only looks down on me."
Her tone was somewhat self-deprecating, and her emotions had reached the edge.
"You've written so many stories, and you're very soft-hearted towards every protagonist. You try every possible way to give them a good ending and let them get what they want. What about me? Am I not the protagonist in your story?! Am I not worthy of your efforts?!"
"You can love so many people, you can love so many characters, but you just don't love me and you won't be nice to me."
…
What exactly should I do to win over this person's heart?
What should she do to make her Creator only see her?
During these nine years, Chen Chigui watched with his own eyes Gu Jinli write countless scripts, and watched her rack her brains and feel miserable for the characters she wrote.
Watching the Creator create himself...
It turns out that it is not that easy.
It turns out that it is so difficult.
Chen Chigui was moved by it and was also secretly happy about it.
I should be loved, right?
She is the first character created by the Creator, and also the person created by the Creator with countless efforts.
She was certain that Gu Jinli loved her.
Especially when he later learned that Gu Jinli didn't care about his concealment, Shen Chigui was almost crazy with joy.
She felt that her guess had been confirmed, and that this was proof that the Creator loved her...
But now.
Everything was overturned.
This person still wants to leave, still wants to leave her.
This fact was like a sharp blade, tearing apart their apparent unity.
The rotten and corrupted interior is cruelly exposed.
"Chen Chigui, calm down."
The resentful questioning made Gu Jinli frown unconsciously.
She had thought that this person would react strongly after mentioning the ancient fragments.
But he didn't expect that Chen Chigui's misunderstanding of him would be so deep.
Doesn't she love this person?
Isn't it obvious what she's doing?
If I didn't love her, how could I have desire for her? If I didn't love her, how could I tolerate so many of her little actions?
She knew her cruelty and indifference, her cunning and ruthlessness, and also knew how cautious she was.
Gu Jinli is the person who knows Chen Chigui best in this world, no doubt about it.
"Calm down?! How do you want me to calm down?! So the important thing you want to tell me is this? That I should give up the ancient fragments and let you go?!"
I really wanted to laugh out loud. Chen Chigui never knew that he was such a patient person.
Every time she met Gu Jinli, she felt that her edges had been worn away.
I have never been so humble, never been so cautious.
She wanted so badly to keep this person, but the other person just couldn't see it.
"I was waiting with great anticipation. I thought you would tell me some good news... I shouldn't have had any expectations of you."
Without waiting for Gu Jinli's reply, he sentenced the other party to death.
Shen Chigui spoke one sentence after another, clenching his fingers in excitement, obviously unable to control himself.
"You want me to calm down? How can I calm down?!"
Her nails dug into her palms, causing severe pain. The corners of her eyes were red and full of mockery.
"And why are you so calm?..."
Why am I the only one going crazy every time?
Why is this person always so calm?
Why am I the only one who is ugly...
"Shen Chigui!"
If I don’t do something, the person in front of me might really break into pieces.
Gu Jinli closed her eyes and decided not to wait any longer.
"We're getting married."
Staring at Shen Chigui without blinking, she said seriously: "This is what I want to say to you."
"Isn't it important?"
