MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 76 gaffe
Xie Zhi left the Yuheng Palace and walked along the path of the palace under the venomous sun. On the other side, Yang Dejin also just left from Li Zishou's side, and the two happened to walk the same path.
"Hey, Xie Zhi?" Yang Dejin saw Xie Zhi walking slowly ahead from a long distance, and shouted, "Xie Zhirui!"
Xie Zhi was in a depressed mood, she only heard someone calling her name in a trance, she turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
The bright girl was wearing a cherry-colored summer shirt today, and when she saw herself, she ran without thinking, the hem of the shirt and the loose hair on her temples were fluttering because of her sudden movement. There seems to be a sincere smile on that delicate face forever, just like this moment.
It looks like a big long-haired animal full of vitality without worries, which makes people happy just looking at it.
Xie Zhi called His Highness, but because his emotions had not been sorted out, his voice was a little low, so Yang Dejin didn't hear it.
Yang Dejin ran up to Xie Zhi holding the dagger he had just picked up from Li Zishou's treasury.
In the dog days, Yang Dejin became extremely hot after running for only a few seconds, and the tip of his nose was sweating slightly.
"Xie Zhirui, unexpectedly I can meet you here." Yang Dejin stood still, "I happened to be looking for you."
Xie Zhi was half a head shorter than her, as if he didn't want her to notice her depression at the moment, he purposely lowered his eyes and asked her, "Why does Your Highness want me?"
"This." Yang Dejin waved the treasured knife in his hand, and before handing it out, he wiped the place where he had held it with the sleeve of his clothes, in order not to leave sweat stains, "Here it is for you."
Xie Zhi was a little surprised, and glanced at the knife in Yang Dejin's hand.
The forearm is long and short, the gold sheath is staggered, and the handle is inlaid with gemstones. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it should be a sharp knife. However, it is not the standard of the Central Plains, but more like the forging style of the grassland people.
Why did Yang Dejin give her a knife when she was fine?
Xie Zhi didn't answer, but raised his head and asked, "Why send me?"
Yang Dejin replied casually: "I think it suits you very well, so I'll give it to you."
After Yang Dejin finished speaking, he shifted his gaze from the knife to Xie Zhi's face. Before Xie Zhi had time to react, he met her gaze unexpectedly.
"Wait," Yang Dejin was startled, "Why are your eyes so red?"
Just now, Xie Zhi lowered his head after being far away, Yang Dejin didn't see her expression. At this moment, when I met my gaze, I realized that her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Xie Zhi bowed his head: "Nothing."
"It's nothing!" Yang Dejin's tone was a little aggressive, "Look at your eyes! Who messed with you?!"
Someone dared to bully Yang Dejin's pony! Who is so courageous? !
Xie Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a forced smile: "No one messes with me."
"Don't be afraid, tell me who I am, and I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Yang Dejin's expression was serious, and she claimed to have changed "the king", so she must have a feeling of using power to suppress others. Seeing this, Xie Zhi felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It was the satisfaction of being favored.
In fact, she was able to hold on to her emotional valve. After hearing Bai Qingyang's words, self-blame and guilt swept over like a scourge, but at most her eyes were red, and she didn't really shed tears.
Unexpectedly, when Xie Zhi was cleaning up his negative emotions alone, someone ran up to her recklessly, wanting to share the newly acquired treasure with him, and after finding out that his emotions were wrong, he was serious and wanted to stand up for himself.
She's embarrassed and annoyed and humiliated that she's really...
Can't stand her.
She exudes warm kindness and is like a spring sunshine, making it hard for her to refuse.
Xie Zhi stared at Yang Dejin, she thought a lot at this moment, and then abandoned her reserve.
She grabbed Yang Dejin's sleeve, took a step forward, and put her forehead on the other's shoulder. The cool and fresh agarwood rushed into her nostrils, filling the empty space in her heart.
Yang Dejin's body froze, her originally serious expression cracked, and she frowned subconsciously. It was obvious that she hadn't adapted to intimate contact with other people, and her first reaction was to want to leave her.
Her impression of Xie Zhi was indeed different from that of ordinary men. She could allow Xie Zhi to be her friend and partner, but she absolutely did not allow any further relationship.
It was too close, it was no longer the social distance of ordinary colleagues, and even surpassed the touch between friends. It was the first time that she felt the other person's body temperature and breathing so close.
It was already standing under the scorching sun, but it was even hotter now.
Yang Dejin restrained the discomfort in her heart, raised her hand to push her shoulder away, curled up and loosened her fingers hanging in the air, and finally landed on her back.
She sighed, still frowning, but gently stroked Xie Zhi's back.
Xie Zhi was not sociable, she had no other intentions.
As a friend, Yang Dejin can only do this kind of thing - the other party just needs a comfort.
"It's okay." Yang Dejin comforted her softly, and his body gradually relaxed.
How wronged was Xie Zhi to come to her for comfort?
"Let's thank my lord, we haven't reached the state of pure heart and asceticism yet." Yang Dejin wanted to divert Xie Zhi's attention, so he said in a brisk tone.
Xie Zhi opened his eyes when he heard the words, but his head was still buried on her shoulders and neck. After reacting for a while, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Because you're still going to be unhappy."
She paused for a moment, and then said: "I thought Mr. Xie had been in prison for so long, and his heart would have been invulnerable long ago. It turned out that he would still be able to break the defense."
Xie Zhi half understood, she knew what Yang Dejin wanted to express, she was silent for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm not in charge of the prison, I'm not working in the prison."
Hearing Xie Zhi's off-point answer, Yang Dejin couldn't help laughing: "It's true, Mr. Xie is the best prison officer in Dasheng."
Xie Zhi hummed for the first time, contrary to his usual humble style.
Yang Dejin's tone restrained her smile, but she was still very gentle: "However, it's very good."
"Where is it good?"
"Master Xie is so perfect, I'm really afraid that one day you will completely break away from society and become independent from the world."
Xie Zhi's personality is too cold, so cold that one wonders if she is the only one left in this world, can she survive.
Human beings live in packs. In order to survive in the early society where the jungle preyed on the jungle, they needed to cooperate with other individuals to form alliances, because there is strength in numbers.
In most cases, people can unite not just for the pursuit of interests, or utilitarianism is not so absolute.
Because human beings are emotional animals at the same time, they will be connected by emotional ties, they enjoy the care and love of their relatives, they are also willing to trust and help their friends, and even have a heart of admiration for a special person. These are all human feelings.
But Xie Zhi is too close to being a perfect person. In her world, there is only the teacher-student relationship with Bai Xun and the superior-subordinate relationship with Bai Qingyang. Other ties are a kind of **** for her.
Yang Dejin always felt that she was like a meticulous machine. In the original author's writing, she carried out the orders of her superiors step by step and revolved around the core role. She was reliable and thoughtful, but lacked human touch.
In the book, the only thing that shows that her heart is not made mechanically is probably her persistence in the case of Baixiang.
But it would be a pity if you exclude yourself from the environment and just rely on such attachments to live your life.
Xie Zhi should have his own brilliance, that's why Yang Dejin approached her, trying to discover that possibility.
"I am an official of the imperial court, and I will not do what you said."
Xie Zhi's depressed voice broke Yang Dejin's thoughts, and Yang Dejin laughed, "It's best not to..."
She paused, and then said: "Master Xie, you can tell me when you are in a bad mood."
"...What's the use of telling you, can you still stop a child from crying at night?"
Yang Dejin couldn't help laughing.
The guy is funny when he's upset.
Hearing her laughter, Xie Zhi felt his ears burning: "..."
"As long as you say you are in a bad mood, I promise there is something to make you happy."
Xie Zhi didn't make a sound.
"Ok?"
"Again..." Xie Zhi hesitated, "Let's talk about it."
Recklessly hiding in Yang Dejin's arms, this was already one of Xie Zhi's most impulsive actions.
Yang Dejin was sincere and cheerful. As she watched, the sadness in her heart was suddenly magnified, like sparks falling into fuel oil, and it was out of control.
Xie Zhi had a rude thought in his heart, hoping that the other party would tolerate his gaffe. Although she regretted it the next second after she acted, Yang Dejin responded gently as she thought.
"Okay." Yang Dejin smiled, without forcing, "I'm here at any time."
The two embraced in this position for a while, until Xie Zhi remembered that they were still in the palace, and if his colleagues saw them as indecent, he was ready to let go.
However, only those who are called can enter and leave the forbidden area, and there are basically no idlers waiting to come and go.
Just as Xie Zhi was thinking, he withdrew from Yang Dejin's embrace, and met two pairs of eyes as soon as he raised his head.
Xie Zhi: "..."
Zhou Huaijin and Xiao Xian hesitated to speak: "..." Did we come at the right time?
However, Yang Dejin didn't know that there were two people standing behind him, and asked, "Stop hugging?"
Xie Zhi: "..."
Zhou Huaijin: "...!" Sure enough, we did not come at the right time!
Xiao Xianye: "...!!" Is this something I can watch without spending money? ? !
Xie Zhi looked behind him, Yang Dejin seemed to have noticed something, turned his head and glanced, there were two awkward yet polite faces.
Yang Dejin also noticed that the atmosphere at the moment was a bit subtle, but she couldn't figure out why, out of politeness, she turned around and greeted the two of them: "You two."
Zhou Huaijin poked at Xiao Xian secretly, the stunned young man came back to his senses, and the two saluted Yang Dejin and Xie Zhi together:
"I have seen Prince Yu and Minister Xie."
Yang Dejin: "You two are going to see the emperor, why are you standing here?"
Xiao Xian: "Uh..."
You ask us both...
Zhou Huaijin: "Ah..."
Why don't you see what you two are doing? !
Today there is a small meeting in the Inner Court, Zhou Huaijin and Xiao Xian entered the palace to attend the meeting. Before he reached the Hall of Liangyi, he saw two people standing in the middle of the road, hugging each other inseparably.
Both of them are strange, in broad daylight, who dares to love each other in the forbidden area?
This road is the closest to Liangyi Hall, so Zhou Huaijin didn't make a detour.
Yang Dejin turned his back to the two, Xie Zhi buried his face again, Zhou Huaijin and Xiao Xian only recognized it when they got closer.
The two fell into trouble instantly:
They have all come to the front, and they must say hello out of courtesy, but these two people...is it not good to interrupt rashly?
But if you pretend you didn't see it and just pass by, isn't it polite?
The best solution is to retreat silently and take a detour before they notice...
But the Hall of Liangyi is really far away!
After some weighing, Zhou and Xiao decided to take a detour if they thought about it. If you walk faster, you won't be late. They were about to turn around, but Xie Zhi suddenly raised his head, his eyes met, and the air fell into an eerie silence.
Yang Dejin seemed to realize that she had asked an embarrassing question, and coughed to make amends for herself: "You two, if there is nothing else, Master Xie and I will go ahead."
Xiao Xian nodded quickly: "Oh, okay, you two go slowly."
Xiao Xian was teased again, but Zhou Huaijin said solemnly: "Send off the prince and Xie Shilang."
Then, Xie Zhi followed Yang Dejin, Xiao Xian followed Zhou Huaijin, the two passed each other, and walked in two directions that diverged from each other.
It wasn't until they turned a street corner that Zhou Huaijin and Xiao Xian both heaved a sigh of relief.
"Prince Yu and Minister Xie have such a good relationship." Xiao Xian sighed while walking.
"……Ok."
Zhou Huaijin frowned, realizing that this matter was not simple.
Good is good, but is it too good to be true? !
The author has something to say:
Yang Dejin (wonderful): I won't be really hit by what Li Zifu said.
Li Zishou: I just said...
Yang Dejin: Is it possible that Xie Zhi really has an Oedipus complex? !
Li Zishou: ...
Li Zishou:?
Li Zifu: Li Zaisui is a demon? ?
It's all chapter seventy-six, and Xiao Yang still hasn't moved his heart once (the one in chapter sixty-seven doesn't count, it's because of a woman's lust), Mr. Xie's side has shown a tendency to lose, and he is good at defense Xiao Yang is still impenetrable, and the proposal will be recorded in the annals of history, and the alarm bells will ring.
