Maybe he had a brain accident during this reincarnation, Bai Li felt that he lived a very pretentious life.
This pretentiousness was mainly reflected in the fact that he lived in an increasingly narrow range. After his leg became disabled, he was like a disabled person, and he couldn't stand people mentioning his physical disability.
Once a person becomes pretentious, there is no end to it. Bai Li would occasionally think of this in the middle of the night, and he would be disgusted by his own self-pity.
He felt that he had to live a little differently from others. Others couldn't stand up after their legs were disabled, but he could stand up, run, jump, and make people angry. Others couldn't bear it, but he could bear it. When others gave up, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
Bai Li wanted to tell everyone that he was fine, that he was doing very well, that Young Master Bai was still as glorious as before, and that noble young man who could easily accomplish great things and was looked up to by others.
But everyone was still looking at his legs.
Bai Li couldn't figure out whether he only had one leg left on his body or what.
Now Lu Zhao was also lifting his leg, and Bai Li's brain, which had just woken up, immediately had no other thoughts and just wanted to shrink back into the blanket.
He didn't want to listen, nor did he want to talk.
Bai Li used a little force to pull his hand out of Lu Zhao's hand little by little, but Lu Zhao's hand did not move, and he just kept holding it. When Bai Li's hand was pulled out most of the way, Lu Zhao seemed to come to his senses and raised his head to glance at Bai Li.
The light of dusk was not clear, but Lu Zhao's glance was bright and plucked Bai Li's nerves.
Bai Li's hand stopped and he did not continue to pull back. A layer of fine sweat appeared on the skin of the two people pressed together.
The atmosphere was quite awkward, and there was a bit of unspeakable meaning. Bai Li felt that he might have been single for too long, and he was a bit overwhelmed by this kind of occasion. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
It was Lu Zhao who spoke first.
His tone was still very calm. Lu Zhao said: "Try it again?"
Bai Li immediately remembered the look on Old Man Bai's face a second before he beat him when he was young. This tone alone was enough to make Bai Li's hair stand on end. He realized that he was wrong.
The look Lu Zhao gave him had nothing to do with ambiguity, but might have something to do with murderous intent.
"Shake it, shake it!" Bai Li immediately shoved his hand into Lu Zhao's palm, "Whoever pulls it will be a grandson!"
Lu Zhao tightened his five fingers.
Bai Li shouted, "Don't pull it! Grandpa, it's wrong, it's wrong!"
He used to call him brother, but now he is grandpa. Lu Zhao's family status has risen sharply, and I believe he will be Bai Li's ancestor with a different surname in the near future. Lu Zhao
was startled by his shout. He hadn't thought about pulling Bai Li's wrist, but after Bai Li reminded him, he thought it was not bad to do so.
It was just right to vent his anger.
In fact, Lu Zhao would not really pull it at this moment. If Bai Li insisted on pulling his hand away, he would have no choice. Although it was only a temporary mark, at least before the mark faded, Bai Li's pheromones had a great suppressive force on Lu Zhao.
They both knew it very well, but apart from the pheromone fluctuations caused by Bai Li's emotional ups and downs just now, Lu Zhao did not feel any pressure. Bai Li is really good.
Lu Zhao felt that he was getting more and more irritable when he was with Bai Li, and he pinched Bai Li's hand again.
Bai Li immediately tensed his body, closed his eyes and turned his head to the side, but he did not pull his hand back, looking like a dog waiting to be executed.
"No," Lu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's it?" Is he just that brave?
Bai Li then took a look at his hand and found that it was really fine. He initially thought that he didn't feel any pain because it was broken directly and he didn't react.
"Fuck." Bai Li cursed, feeling like a stupid dog, and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Zhao's mouth curled up as well.
They didn't know why they were tickled, and they laughed wildly. The afterglow of the evening completely fell, and night fell. The lights of the empire outside the floor-to-ceiling windows were as bright as sparks.
Lu Zhao simply sat on the ground, next to the sofa, with his eyes level with Bai Li.
"I don't mean anything else," Lu Zhao said, still very calmly. The main reason was that he didn't know any other way to make himself look gentler. Lu Zhao was not a gentle person. "Bai Li, I didn't mean anything."
After living for so many years, Lu Zhao had never thought about how to make himself look gentler. He grew up and used all his abilities to make himself look strong and tough. He had almost erased his omega nature, but he still felt that it was not cool enough. He had no time to think about how to be gentler with others.
At this moment, the only person who could imitate the gentleness of Lu Zhao was Bai Li.
Just like the day when Bai Li half-knelt in front of him, trying to shrink his shoulders to make himself look less threatening. At that time, Lu Zhao felt that Bai Li's hunched shoulders and lowered head looked like the emoticon he often posted, the crying dog head.
Bai Li didn't say anything, and after a few seconds he said "um", "I know."
How could he not know? This is Lu Zhao.
He says whatever he wants and does whatever he wants. This is Lu Zhao's temper. Otherwise, he wouldn't be Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao added, "I asked, and if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I just want to ask."
If someone else said this, Bai Li would definitely punch him. You can't stand this, right? You still want to ask.
But when these words came out of Lu Zhao's mouth, Bai Li was silent. He knew that Lu Zhao meant that he wanted to ask, and he also knew that it would make Bai Li uncomfortable, so he didn't need Bai Li to answer.
Lu Zhao asked to tell Bai Li that he was thinking about this matter, and if Bai Li wanted to talk about it, he would be happy to listen.
"It's not that I don't want to say it," Bai Li lay on the pillow, one hand still clasped with Lu Zhao's, "I just don't know how to say it without being pretentious."
Lu Zhao was silent for a long time before he spoke: "People are pretentious enough just by being alive."
It seems to be true.
If people are not pretentious, what's the point of living? Do you really think there is a life of true nature in the world? Animals are true to nature from beginning to end, feeling the nature with their butts naked, while people are pretentious, knowing how to cover up, how to cover up the mistakes and show the bright side. Pretentiousness is an inevitable attribute of human life, and pretentious people invented the word true nature.
Bai Li laughed twice and then said, "It's nothing actually. Jiang Hao and I were very close at that time. I blocked it for him when the battleship wreckage came over. It was so small that the wreckage hit my cockpit and cut off half of the belly of my mecha. Fortunately, I got out of the cockpit in time. However, the cockpit was deformed by the impact and my legs were squeezed inside..."
He didn't continue talking, and he couldn't say anything else.
The medical level in the Empire is quite high now, but it still couldn't completely restore Bai Li's legs. I don't know what Bai Li looked like when he climbed out of the mecha.
"Don't blame Jiang Hao, don't blame anyone, this is my fate, it's good to be alive," Bai Li looked at his hand and Lu Zhao's hand. Fate had arranged the plot for him from the beginning, just like he was destined to hold Lu Zhao's hand for a while, "but I don't want to see him, he would feel guilty and blame himself if he saw me, neither of us would look at each other, isn't this good?"
Lu Zhao was unhappy again and again in his heart, and he didn't know why he was unhappy.
This was an accident. If Bai Li hadn't blocked it for Jiang Hao, it would not be certain what the situation would be. Judging from the final result, both of them survived, Bai Li lost a leg, but he won't have any problems with his future life.
This should be considered a good result, but Bai Li and Jiang Hao couldn't accept it emotionally. The major general lost a leg because of protecting his adjutant, which must be a permanent shadow in Jiang Hao's heart. Guilt and self-blame can't be erased. He wants to compensate Bai Li and help Bai Li, so he apologizes again and again.
Bai Li has to comfort him, saying it's okay, it's nothing, just a leg, my family is rich, and I can still live a colorful life after retiring from the military. Bai Li
may not know that if he was angry, hated Jiang Hao a little, and complained about the unfairness of fate, he might not be so painful.
But he is quite sober. Young Master Bai was very clear and reasonable. If he hadn't blocked Jiang Hao's leg, Jiang Hao might have died. If you save someone and then blame him for crippling your leg, then what's the point of saving him? So he didn't blame Jiang Hao. He knew that even if it wasn't Jiang Hao, this leg would have been lost sooner or later.
Bai Li thought it was not bad to exchange a leg for a comrade's life. At least it was much more valuable than the silent crippling in the original book.
Lu Zhao didn't know what Bai Li was thinking. He just felt that Bai Li was like floating in the universe, drifting in the air, not knowing where to go, and unable to land. He didn't want to hate anyone, so his anger could only be directed into the void without a response.
Everyone likes people who live a reasonable life, but no one wants to be a reasonable person, because it is difficult and tiring.
"I said I won't talk about it," Bai Li saw that Lu Zhao didn't reply, and he was a little anxious, so he pulled Lu Zhao's hand, "We can't talk about the wars we fought, this is the fine tradition of our army."
Lu Zhao said "hmm", and said nothing else, and started to draw on Bai Li's palm.
Bai Li's heart was itching when he was drawn, and he couldn't help but say, "Xianhua, what are you doing?"
"To remove the smell." Lu Zhao answered very honestly.
After reacting for several seconds, Bai Li finally understood what Lu Zhao meant. Just now, Bai Li smelled the smell of other alphas left on Lu Zhao's body, and the smell was the strongest on the fingertips, and Lu Zhao was rubbing it now.
Before Bai Li could figure out what was going on, he blurted out, "I've seen dogs encircling land, but I've never seen a landlord come to let the dogs circle him."
Lu Zhao glanced at Bai Li.
After a while, he glanced at him again.
Bai Li asked, "Why?"
Lu Zhao was puzzled, "How did you manage to scold two people at the same time?"
Dogs encircled land, Lu Zhao was still a landlord after all, and Bai Li was really a dog.
If you hurt others 80, you will hurt yourself 100. If you scold Bai Li a few more times, you will be completely scolded.
"Fuck," Bai Li realized the problem, "I'm really not a human being."
Lu Zhao laughed, let go of Bai Li's hand, stood up, and smoothed Bai Li's hair.
"You're really good," Lu Zhao said, "I'll let you do it."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and the light in the room came on, then he went back to his bedroom to change clothes.
No one continued the topic, and just from hearing those few sentences from Bai Li, Lu Zhao felt that if this matter continued, he would have to cover Bai Li's mouth.
What would he do even if he knew? Lu Zhao thought, he felt that he would never ask Bai Li about this matter a second time. Even if Bai Li told him again how she had survived all these years, how painful her legs were in the first few years, and how ugly she walked, Lu Zhao didn't want to listen.
It's not that he didn't care, or that he didn't feel uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable it was, Lu Zhao couldn't help.
It was Bai Li who was in pain, and Lu Zhao could only watch.
Lu Zhao found that there is really little that can be done between people.
It is too little, so little that he cannot bear it.
When the door of Lu Zhao's bedroom slammed shut, Bai Li turned over on the sofa, stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, and began to take deep breaths.
While breathing, he picked up the personal terminal to send a text message to Situ.
Bai Li: Brother, have you ever had a reaction when someone touched your head?
After a long while, Situ replied.
Situ: Don't panic, dogs are like this.
