Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Sweet~
As Su Yuan hurriedly withdrew his hand, he seemed to see Lu Zhu's aggrieved look with tears in his eyes. It was as if he was hit by his master's sudden and ruthless abandonment. His originally deep eyebrows and eyes instantly turned into tearful droopy puppy eyes.
When Lu Zhu looked at Su Yuan blankly, he still felt a sense of brokenness.
Su Yuan felt very guilty, but now he had no intention of paying attention to Lu Zhu who had been slapped by him for no reason. The sudden concentration of attention on him made him feel uneasy.
The next second, Su Yuan was invited into the next room. Except for one person who stayed with Lu Zhu, everyone else followed Su Yuan and left.
The room was not spacious, and when so many people were crowded in it, it became even more difficult for the air to circulate and the air pressure was abnormal.
There were two chairs in the room, one for Su Yuan, and the other for a young man with a cold poker face. The young man was taller than Su Yuan, and his broad shoulders blocked most of the light. When Su Yuan looked up at him, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
"Why did Lu Zhu take the initiative to run towards you?" He asked straight to the point in a cold voice.
His words were like interrogating a prisoner, and could directly transform the surroundings into an interrogation room.
The person standing next to him, his eyebrows twitched after hearing what he said, and he immediately nudged him lightly, signaling him to pay attention to his attitude.
In fact, there was no need for anyone else to remind him. The poker-faced young man quickly received a warning look from Chu An.
Su Yuan tried hard to make his eyes look not wandering.
Of course, he couldn't say that he and Lu Zhu had established a puppet bond with the help of that person.
But Lu Zhu clearly knew him, and even when he was wrapped up tightly, he could recognize his abnormal intimacy at a glance.
"We've met before, in..." Su Yuan nervously added the lie, "The Card World."
This was actually reasonable. Su Yuan was a card creature, and Lu Zhu was also confirmed to have been trapped in the card world. Currently, humans' understanding of the card world was still vague, and they had no way to verify the authenticity of Su Yuan's words.
But Lu Zhu's way of addressing Su Yuan was problematic. The poker-faced young man continued to ask expressionlessly, "What did he call you just now?"
A wave of heat spread to Su Yuan's face. Su Yuan was very embarrassed, "Princess."
"Then why does he call you princess?" the young man asked aggressively.
Su Yuan looked flustered. He really couldn't think of any other title containing the word "master" at that time.
Su Yuan couldn't think of any words to explain.
You can't just let him go ahead and talk nonsense, saying that although he is just a small card, he is actually the princess of the card world.
But Su Yuan could neither not answer nor think for a long time.
He could only push all the questions to Lu Zhu, "You should ask Lu Zhu, he is the one who called me like that."
Su Yuan added in a low voice, letting Lu Zhu continue to take the blame, "I can't correct it even if I want to."
This answer stunned the people around him. They exchanged glances thoughtfully, and then all frowned in confusion.
The poker-faced young man's tone suddenly became sharp, "Why would he call you princess for no reason?"
Su Yuan was a little frightened by his bad tone and shook her head, "I, I don't know."
The young man's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth twitched downwards, his tone oozing with ice, "Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
The young man's attempt to intimidate did not have the effect he wanted. Chu An, who was standing next to Su Yuan, was obviously impatient. The man asked directly, "Is there any problem with this?"
Except for Su Yuan, everyone else was stunned by the question.
Isn't this still a problem?
This is a big problem.
Everyone looked at Su Yuan with more alert eyes. If they didn't know clearly that the cards could not harm their card master, they would have suspected that Su Yuan was using some kind of nightmare technique. Chu An actually went so far as to do such an obvious act of covering up for him.
The poker-faced young man immediately frowned.
Su Yuan was made even more uneasy by the suspicion in their eyes that almost turned into reality.
These people obviously did not dare to ignore Chu An's face. When the poker-faced young man's face had already darkened, someone patted the young man on the shoulder and poured a glass of water for Su Yuan to ease the atmosphere.
The warm water passed through the wall of the cup and transferred its temperature to Su Yuan. Su Yuan felt the weight of the cup in his hand and didn't really want to drink it.
But even though the situation was at a stalemate, Su Yuan could still clearly feel that the others were not going to let him go.
There was too much suspicion in their eyes towards him.
Su Yuan felt that pretending to drink water could delay some time, giving him more time to think about how to make up for the situation, so he curled his fingers and prepared to take off the mask temporarily.
Princess.
Su Yuan racked his brain, thinking about the card world he had seen before.
Su Yuan was suddenly stunned.
He suddenly realized that there might really be princesses in the card world.
The scene he saw at that time was truly a fairy tale. Not only was there a real castle-like building, but he also vaguely saw some people dressed as royal guards in the crowd under the window.
Su Yuan took off his mask completely and tried hard to recall the scene of the card world room he saw at that time. He suddenly discovered that there was some notice on the dressing table very close to him, and the word "Princess" was really written on it.
When Su Yuan racked his brains to recall, he did not notice that the undercurrent atmosphere around him suddenly disappeared the moment he took off his mask.
The air suddenly became quiet.
There was clearly no change in the room, but it seemed strangely different.
The previous doubts and vigilance froze on their faces, and everyone stared in a daze at the slender chin that gradually appeared on the white jade neck, and the bright red and plump lips.
While Su Yuan was anxiously thinking, although he held the cup in his mouth, very little water actually flowed into his mouth, and most of the liquid that came up just swirled around his lips.
Everyone watched with their own eyes the curve of Su Yuan's full lips being pressed down, and everyone also saw how the beautiful lip flesh was coated with a crystal clear, dreamy luster.
Just like a rose that has gained nutrition, the color that suddenly appeared in their pupils became more and more gorgeous.
When Su Yuan put down the cup in her hand, her lips, which were particularly round and full and covered with water, bounced against the side of the cup, stunning everyone present.
After a long silence, the suspicion in everyone's eyes became stronger.
But it was not directed at Su Yuan, but at their previous judgments and ideas.
Su Yuan was caught off guard when he heard a strange voice speaking in a slightly flustered but very gentle voice, "Can you, can you let us see your face?"
Su Yuan was stunned for a moment. He was not very happy in his heart. Those who could enter the headquarters of the Card Master Guild were not simple people and had extraordinary social status. Su Yuan was very afraid that he, a vegetative person, would have any intersection with them.
But if he refused at this moment, it would only make him look more problematic.
Su Yuan pursed his lips and finally took off his hat and glasses.
At that moment, Su Yuan, who was extremely nervous and seriously worried that he would not be able to get through this time, suddenly discovered miraculously that the strong suspicion in the eyes of the people around him had disappeared.
Su Yuan raised her eyelashes and sensed it carefully.
I confirmed again that it was really all gone, without any residue left.
In the silence so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, everyone's brains were buzzing for a moment as they looked at the face in front of them that was so beautiful that they couldn't even imagine it.
They had only one thought in their minds.
Have the cards evolved to be so beautiful now? They are so beautiful that they look like princesses in fairy tales.
Even the little light that was normally shed fell on the other person like some kind of dreamy halo filter.
Suddenly, they seemed to know why Chu An asked back the question just now.
That's not a cover-up.
Chu An really felt that there was no problem.
Chu An, who had long known Su Yuan's stunning appearance, understood that it was completely reasonable for Su Yuan to be called a princess.
When Su Yuan's eyelashes curved into a confused arc, she finally heard the words of the poker-faced young man again in the strange silence that lasted for who knows how long.
Still cold, but a little stumbling, "The answer to this question is so simple, just tell me directly."
Su Yuan, who had no idea what the answer was: "?"
The young man had blood dripping from his ear as he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Are you still too shy to say this?"
Su Yuan, who was still at a loss, began to feel really ashamed the next second, and his fingers holding the water cup turned pink.
Because the young man's tone was obviously very cold and casual, but the content of his words was full of praise, "Isn't it just that you are very beautiful, with a kind of androgynous beauty, so it's normal to be called a princess?"
My mind went blank, and it was Su Yuan's turn.
The young man asked Su Yuan some more questions about the card world. Su Yuan, who was feeling a little dizzy, shook his head several times.
There is nothing wrong with Su Yuan not answering.
The specific details of the card world are currently kept secret, and all previous card creatures have chosen to avoid talking about the specific contents of the card world.
"Why did you slap him just now?" The young man, who had expected this, focused on what had just happened.
Su Yuan knew that it was strange for him to slap Lu Zhu, but he gritted his teeth and let Lu Zhu take the blame again, "I didn't mean to slap him, I just wanted to push him away, he pounced on me too hastily, and this happened by mistake."
He described the scene as Lu Zhu bumping into his hand.
When Su Yuan said this, he was very glad that Lu Zhu was still in the next room and could not hear his continued smearing.
"If you two knew each other, why did you choose to push him away immediately?"
Su Yuan was stunned by this question for a few seconds. When he quickly made associations, he thought of the mysterious organization through the discomfort, "Because I feel very uncomfortable when he gets close to me."
When Su Yuan mentioned "feeling uncomfortable", his brows furrowed a little impatiently.
Su Yuan noticed that after he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him changed again.
All the people who were staring at his mouth had serious and heavy expressions.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable?" This question is no longer asked by young people alone.
Everyone asked, and everyone showed a strong concern.
Su Yuan's eyelashes trembled unnaturally. He described the first man with a dog nose who made him feel uncomfortable. "That's right, after he pounced on me, he would bury his head in my neck and sniff."
"What are you smelling?" Qiqi asked anxiously again.
"Smell, smell my scent." Su Yuan was being stared at, and he couldn't speak clearly. He looked at the abnormal expression of the person in front of him, who seemed to not understand, and tightly grasped the water cup, blushing and saying, "Because, because I smell better."
Su Yuan’s last words seemed to ignite something.
The people who had been concentrating on looking at Su Yuan were suddenly stunned. They suddenly felt a faint sweet fragrance all around them. When they smelled it carefully, they were immediately struck by the sweetness as if they were electrocuted.
*
Su Yuan didn't know how he managed to fool people. When the questioning was over, Su Yuan was still a little confused.
Thinking about the scene that just ended, a hint of anxiety flashed across Su Yuan's brows.
The damage that person caused to the guild once again refreshed Su Yuan's judgment.
It turned out that all the people he had just met had internal injuries.
Thinking about the weird scene where everyone suddenly started bleeding from the nose, Su Yuan was glad that the questioning stopped there, but at the same time he became more worried about the new plan that was being prepared.
but--
Su Yuan carefully touched the mask he had put on again.
The atmosphere has become strange since he just showed up.
Su Yuan glanced at Chu An secretly, and was made very uneasy by the painful and complicated expression on his face.
Is the other party very dissatisfied with his performance just now, thinking that he, as a card, has damaged the other party's reputation?
After experiencing what just happened, Chu An now feels depressed and regretful.
His beautiful cards were so popular, and as the opponent's card master, he should have felt honored and should have seized this opportunity.
But not only did he fail to seize the opportunity, but he was ungrateful for what he had and kept pushing people away.
Chu An's fist clenched uncontrollably.
He really wanted to go back to the beginning and slap himself awake before Su Yuan slapped him.
Chu An, who was filled with regret, looked at Su Yuan in agony.
The matter is done. What should he do to make Su Yuan willing to give him another chance?
Su Yuan didn't know what Chu An was thinking about. When he re-entered the psychology room, he was quite surprised to find that Lu Zhu was tied to his seat.
Su Yuan felt that this situation was closely related to the smear campaign he had just launched. He described Lu Zhu as a pervert who would call people princess and pounce on people to sniff their scent.
It was visibly apparent that the way other people looked at Lu Zhu had changed.
When Su Yuan couldn't help but feel guilty, he didn't notice that their eyes were filled with envy.
They also wanted to call Su Yuan "Princess" directly, making her blush and reveal her most beautiful posture. They also wanted to bury their heads in Su Yuan's neck to smell her fragrance.
The puppet connection that was temporarily restored due to the ability has not disappeared yet. Su Yuan started the conscious communication with Lu Zhu, not allowing Lu Zhu to call him master again, nor allowing the other party to approach him so eagerly again.
After Su Yuan finished talking about the most important thing at the moment, he thought about how to apologize to Lu Zhu.
Before him, Lu Zhu's pitiful and aggrieved voice came out.
'Why won't you let me get close? Is it because I attacked you last time?'
Lu Zhu's voice was extremely helpless, "I'm sorry, that's not what I really think, I don't know what happened to me at that time, I really didn't mean it, don't ignore me because of this."
Su Yuan felt even more guilty after hearing this.
How can the other party be so naive?
Su Yuan felt that he was really a bully and didn't know how to explain it.
While Su Yuan was still thinking, Lu Zhu's listless and lost voice could be heard again.
"Please forgive me and don't keep me away from you."
'Tell me what I should do so that you can forgive me, okay?'
Su Yuan, who was feeling very uncomfortable and guilty, was stunned.
Lu Zhu's words hit upon what Su Yuan cared about most at the moment.
Su Yuan wants to get the [Ring of Eternity], and apart from Chu An, the former owner, the person most likely to help him is Lu Zhu, the main personality of that person.
Su Yuan was looked at by Lu Zhu with an anxious and pleading look. After some hesitation, she sent a message, "I want the [Ring of Eternity]. If you can help me, can you help me?"
Lu Zhu's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed while repeating Su Yuan's request several times.
Su Yuan wanted to say something, but the puppet's bond was suddenly broken, and the random effect triggered by his ability disappeared.
Coincidentally, the psychologist, who had ended all the episodes, was ready to get down to business.
Su Yuan welcomed the conversation again.
Su Yuan was a little dazed by the conversation that kept revolving around love. When he looked at Chu An with a little confusion, Chu An's expression was restrained and sad.
Thinking of Chu An's expression when he told him about the human-card love, Su Yuan vaguely understood.
It should be related to the many reports of that person's gambling love affair.
After receiving a lot of human opinions, the guild also wants to investigate the attitudes of the card creatures.
Su Yuan, who was originally a little absent-minded, immediately became serious and began to answer every question sincerely.
As Su Yuan was very cooperative and his views were particularly firm, his conversation ended quickly.
When Su Yuan left the room, Chu An asked Su Yuan to be alone for a while, and then went to the next room with the psychologist.
Su Yuan didn't know that his departure seemed to have irritated Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu, who had been able to stay quiet, suddenly murmured, "Send a ring, send a ring," when there were only a few guards around.
The guard immediately looked at him in surprise, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Lu Zhu ignored him.
The guard then asked, "Who do you want to give the ring to?"
Lu Zhu still didn't answer, but he glanced at Su Yuan who was standing outside the glass window.
The candidate has been decided.
"Why do you want to give him a ring?" the guard asked again.
Lu Zhu answered this time, "This way we can be closer."
The guard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Thinking about Lu Zhu calling Su Yuan "Princess" and throwing himself at her to express his affection, as well as the love guidance given by the psychologist that they had just listened to, the guard said in a subtle tone, "You found that you actually like him, right?"
Unexpectedly, the psychologist's talk about love actually enlightened Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu shifted his gaze back, his expression confused yet focused.
The guard added, "It's normal for you to like him, but you can't just give him a ring to express your love. If the relationship is not close enough, you can't give him a ring."
If Su Yuan hadn't told him not to mention this to others, Lu Zhu would have wanted to refute it.
He didn't give the ring casually, it was Su Yuan who allowed him to give it.
But Lu Zhu's heart suddenly beat rapidly, and his ears were filled with chaotic heartbeats.
When he thought about it the other way around, he realized that this meant Su Yuan thought their relationship was close enough.
"What's the significance of giving a ring as a gift?" Lu Zhu asked proactively, which was rare.
"Of course it represents love. Didn't the psychologist just talk about it? It means that love lasts forever." The guard turned serious and said, "So you can't send him away easily."
Lu Zhu didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all.
The words 'Love lasts forever' kept echoing in his mind.
Eternity... the Ring of Eternity... they are completely confronted.
Lu Zhu's body suddenly straightened up. He asked nervously, "What is love?"
"Well... you think he is a wonderful person in the world. You often can't help wanting to get close to him and want to share your own things with him. You also want to understand him as much as possible. If he leaves you, you will be very sad and upset. You want to be with him forever."
Lu Zhu's body became increasingly stiffer and tighter, and his eyes became incredibly bright.
All correct.
“…It is a kind of intimacy that allows people to ignore their status.”
Ignore status!
Lu Zhu's ears became redder and redder, and the red even spread to his cheeks.
So, is this the real reason why Su Yuan doesn’t let him call him master?
Su Yuan didn't want to continue the master-puppet relationship. She wanted to develop a romantic relationship with him.
Lu Zhu listened to his own heartbeat, which was so fast that it seemed unbelievable, and felt as if his body was no longer his own. "This is... love."
*
At the same time, the psychologist next door looked at Chu An, who was almost merging with the shadow, and his professional ethics were about to lose stability.
Su Yuan was very normal, but Chu An was behaving very abnormally.
He really wanted to say that it was Chu An who should be examined.
But the psychologist didn't dare.
"There is nothing wrong with his world view and love view." The psychologist concluded.
Chu An was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure there is no such thing? Is his judgment of love not misled by something?"
The psychologist shook his head in denial.
Chu An believed in the psychologist's judgment, but he was very confused inside.
How could that be?
Could it be that Su Yuan’s liking for him didn’t come from those romance stories?
Then where did it come from and why did Su Yuan insist on coming over to check.
Chu An's pupils suddenly shrank, and his brain was hit hard by the next thought that popped up in his mind.
All the previous bitterness and uneasiness turned into great sweetness at this moment, and Chu An's chest rose and fell abnormally.
So Su Yuan’s liking for him is normal!
And Su Yuan came to check, not because he was disheartened, but because——
Trying to prove to him the purity of this love!
Chu An's heart had never been pounding so wildly before, and it was unbalanced to an incredible degree.
He, how could he be treated like this!
Su Yuan was caught off guard when he saw Chu An rushing out of the door and said to him, "I will never let you down!"
Su Yuan: “?”
