Yes, it's a stagnant pool.
Dark and silent.
The disguise of past frivolity and gentleness has been stripped off, leaving only the most real emotions.
It was so real that Sui Xue was panicked.
She didn't want to develop too deep a bond or connection with Mieming so soon.
We also don't want to get close to each other's hearts and reveal our deepest corners so quickly.
She is suspicious and defensive. She is not ready to bear the consequences of starting this relationship, so she would rather not touch the red line of the relationship for the time being.
But right now, his body was very close to Sui Xue.
It was so close that his cool and refreshing breath was right in front of her eyes, blowing on her eyelashes and making them tremble slightly.
Sui Xue subconsciously tilted her head back to avoid his touch.
Sensing the resistance of the person in front of him, Mie Ming's eyes dimmed slightly. He took a half step back to create some distance between them, but not too far away.
"It is I who have offended."
He paused.
"I just feel that Your Highness is much different now than before."
“Becoming gentle and powerful.”
"This change—"
"Not only will this make me yearn for you, but it will also make others unconsciously approach Your Highness."
Sui Xue understood and realized that he was hinting at a change in Xuan Li and Wan Shanhan's attitude towards her.
So what is he trying to do now? Is he possessive? Jealous? Angry?
It can't be forced love.
What's more, she clearly remembered that Mie Ming in the original novel did not seem to be this kind of old-fashioned domineering CEO-type character.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Mieming's pleasant low laughter from above his head.
He saw through Sui Xue's thoughts at a glance and directly exposed her.
"I am not trying to claim any sovereignty. After all, I have always known that the leader never belonged to me."
"A person with low self-esteem and sensitivity like me naturally has no right to dream of what I can never get."
"My struggle is not to obtain, but to hope—"
"I hope the leader will not forget that among the people surrounding you, there is someone like me."
Sui Xue was stunned.
After saying that, perhaps because he was afraid of seeing the rejection in her eyes, Mieming stepped back again and kept a safe distance.
Sui Xue was even more surprised.
According to the original book's plot, shouldn't he be pinching himself and asking, "Why on earth did you tease Xuan Li?! Why did you have contact with Wan Shanhan?!"
Then he kissed her fiercely, and the woman reluctantly entangled with him, so passionately that he bit her mouth until it was broken, and her mouth was full of the taste of rust.
Why is it different from what we agreed on?
However, although it was a little unexpected, Sui Xue didn't hate it.
He was even willing to forgive Mieming's sudden approach just now.
Sui Xue tilted her head, looked at Mieming with scrutiny, and asked tentatively.
"Forget you? What do you mean?"
Mieming chuckled.
"What I mean is that I really want to be used by the leader forever."
Sui Xue frowned imperceptibly.
She felt that Mieming's words were really strange.
To put it bluntly, doesn't this mean that you are willing to be used by her?
But is he really willing to be used as a tool?
When it comes to relationships, she never likes to keep things to herself and always speaks her mind. She will communicate with the other person before considering whether to continue contacting them.
She doesn't like guessing.
Her life has always been very busy, and there are always too many things to think about, so when it comes to relationships, she really doesn't want to spend any extra time on it, as it makes both parties very tired.
so--
Sui Xue looked up, met his gaze, and expressed her doubts.
"Why? What's good about being used?"
Mieming chuckled and answered her with the same frankness.
"Your use of me has given me a real and vivid sense of security."
"I feel that I have value in your heart, and my existence in this world is not completely meaningless."
After saying this, he lowered his head and returned to his usual frivolous and gentle self.
"Also, I'm afraid my rash approach just now may have upset you. I sincerely apologize to you, and I don't want you to dislike me because of this."
"I was really too anxious at that time. I watched helplessly as more and more people gathered around you, and I felt like a small shrimp in a school of fish, washed away by the crowd and gradually forgotten. That feeling—"
"It frightens me greatly."
"That's why I want to grab something."
When Sui Xue heard this, strange emotions surged in her heart.
According to her current understanding, Mieming is a person with a mind close to that of a demon, a peerless appearance, and a high status in the fox tribe.
Logically speaking, such a person should be like Xuan Li, possessing a strong desire for control and possession, confident that the whole world belongs to him.
Or in other words, he would at least be like Wan Shanhan, with absolute pursuit and obsession for what he wants.
But Mie Ming didn't.
He is inferior, sensitive, and cautious around things he cares about.
Sui Xue couldn't help but feel curious.
I'm curious why such a person would be so self-deprecating and cautious.
As he was looking at him, the system suddenly prompted.
[Trigger one of the special event fragments of Mie Ming: Qingming that year]
[Mie Ming Key Event: That Qingming Unlock Progress: 60%]
Sui Xue thought for a moment after hearing this, and quickly combined her own reasoning with the system's prompts.
She boldly guessed that Mieming's personality was most likely related to this key event.
There are so many mysteries surrounding Mie Ming. For example, why does she have such a strange personality, and why is she so obedient to the original owner, yet she is still chopped into pieces in the original novel?
Could it be that the key to all this lies in that special incident?
