The room was so quiet that only Ivey's voice said these words. When he said the last two words, his voice was even lower, and the fingers holding the pen were slightly white due to the force.
It is very difficult to let someone who is not frank take the initiative to express his true thoughts.
It takes a lot of determination for Ivey to be frank. He doesn't like to lie, but he simply refuses to reveal his heart.
The original source of this kind of psychology may have been when he felt that God preferred Tianzu more.
If you think you can't get it even if you say it, just don't say it.
Compared to Lucy, who was named by God himself, he was not so valued by God.
Since it is not valued, there is no right to make any demands. Only those who are favored can always express their demands frankly.
Since Ivey has always thought this way, this "not frankness" has become part of his character. Even if he later believes that Jiang Ci also cares about him, the character that has been formed cannot be changed.
Jiang Ci also knew that it was not easy for Ivey to say these words. After listening to it, he didn't have any intention of deliberately making a move. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and moved a chair to sit not far from the other party, on the side of the desk. side.
"Is it okay to sit here?" Jiang Ci sat relaxed and looked at him, "Will it affect you?"
Ivey restrained the strength of holding the pen, and his tone was light: "Whatever you want."
Ivey has not had much to deal with in the city recently. Since the overflowing dark elements in the environment gradually restored the original balance, he has also been relatively idle.
Ordinary affairs will be handled by Arnold and other MPs, and Ivey is only responsible for confirming the results.
"The office hours may be longer." Ivey lowered his eyes to look at the documents that he didn't actually need to examine in detail, "The books on the bookshelf, you can take a look if you are interested."
Jiang Ci got up and walked to the bookshelf according to his words, and he roughly read the types of books on the bookshelf.
From one person's bookshelf, one can often see the other's hobbies and hobbies. Jiang Ci has seen many books on music theory from this.
"Do you like music?" Jiang Ci was a little surprised.
Ivey replied: "I don't like it, but I have too much time, and I have learned a little about everything."
More than three thousand years, such a long time of flooding, if you don't find something to kill, you may feel boring day by day.
Unlike the dragon clan who can sleep for dozens or hundreds of years, other races have a normal cognition of time.
Hearing the phrase "too much time", Jiang Ci paused slightly when he touched the book: "Do you feel that the burden is heavy?"
Although he has normal emotions, he is endowed with eternal life, and he has to manage a race all the time.
Ivey didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "For you, other managers will not feel this is a burden."
Then paused for a few more seconds, Ivey turned a corner and mentioned himself: "So neither will I."
Forced a causal relationship to these two sentences, Ivey finished speaking, and the whole process did not let himself look at the young man standing beside the bookshelf at a glance.
But Jiang Ci certainly understood what he really meant.
With a book on musical instruments in hand, Jiang Ci sat back to where he was just now.
Thanks to his status as a god, Jiang Ci completely understands the language of this world without a teacher. Even words that he doesn't know from the shape of the characters will be translated automatically when Jiang Ci reads them.
Yiwei glanced at the book Jiang Cina was holding, and he said flatly, "If you are interested in this, I can also play the songs you want to listen to if there is a chance in the future."
Facing Ivey's rare initiative, Jiang Ci replied without thinking, "Then I'll look forward to it."
Evie responded with a single tone.
Although he said just now that he learned a little, but in such a long time, no matter how he learned casually, he could become proficient.
Just in the face of Jiang Ci, Ivey couldn't say such things like bragging about himself.
Jiang Ci was sitting on the side of the desk. Although he was quite close, he did not disturb Ivey's work during the whole process, and he read books quietly.
The two seem to be at peace with each other, and the system is more at ease. It would rather the two of them stay like this, at least it won't have to worry about it.
But in fact, for Ivey, Jiang Ciguang was sitting next to him, which made him less able to read the text on the document.
I know every word, and I know the combined words, but at first glance, Ivey has no idea what the text expresses.
Then I can only watch it again, and the progress is very slow.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he reads or not, it has already been approved by Arnold, and Ivey just intends to extend the office hours.
The afternoon sun shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room brighter and more airy.
Jiang Ci likes sunny weather. Looking at the sunlight pouring in, he closed the book: "Why don't you just do it today."
Ivey looked up: "What do you mean?"
"The performance you said." Jiang Ci smiled at him, "Is there a chance today?"
Ivey's face was calm, and he nodded slightly reservedly: "Yes."
It took a few hours for Ivey to finish his office. At this time, he logically asked someone to prepare afternoon tea for Jiang Ci.
Although not frank, Ivey was still very thoughtful towards Jiang Ci.
"Let's eat together." In the small garden, Jiang Ci poked one of the cakes on the table in front of him with a fork, then looked up at Ivey, "I can't eat so much by myself."
There are several cakes and desserts to choose from on the table. After Jiang Ci finished speaking to Ivey, he chose one and put it on the left, put the black dragon cub lying on his shoulders over there, and then chose another and put it on the right. , wait for Ivey to sit down.
Arnold, who was in charge of preparing these things, stood not far away. He heard Jiang Ci's words and opened his mouth to say that Ivey didn't like sweets.
But Arnold didn't have time to say anything, Ivey had already walked to the seat and sat down, and he didn't say anything, following Jiang Ci's words and began to solve the cake.
During the process, Ivey did not reveal any dislike, and his expression was very calm.
"..." Seeing this, Arnold silently swallowed the words that were coming to his mouth.
If you are willing to accept something you don't like for someone, it usually only means that the person likes another person many times more than hates the thing.
This liking should have a considerable weight in order to shake a person's basic choice.
Compared with other people, Arnold, who is the adjutant, is more likely to know that Ivey is actually very... It can be said that he likes God passionately.
Just based on the same strong self-esteem, he will not show it easily.
"Which instrument do you want to listen to?" Ivey dug up another piece of cake, "You can also choose the track."
Jiang Ci replied, "Just choose what you are good at."
Jiang Ci didn't know much about the music in this world. When he read the book just now, the musical instruments mentioned above were different from those he knew in the original world.
It looks similar in appearance, but I'm not sure about the specific performance.
Ivey didn't say that he was good at any musical instrument, just hummed casually.
He finished the cake, but this time he didn't find this kind of sweet food unacceptable. Ivey glanced at the black dragon who took a few bites of the cake on the other side, and then fluttered the dragon's wings onto the young man's shoulder, habitually snorting.
It was a pleasant afternoon, except for the presence of this extra dragon.
Jiang Ci continued to sit, and soon he saw Ivey brought a stringed instrument that looked like a violin.
Evie has never played for anyone, mainly because no one can get him to do it, and he himself has no intention of showing it to others.
When the bow is played, Ivey's technique is quite neat and neat. It can be said that the beautiful and pure timbre of this instrument is brought out incisively and vividly, and the technique is impeccable.
Jiang Ci was sitting upright. Ordinary listeners' appreciation of music was very subjective. The notes seemed to be connected into a particularly melodious and romantic tune. He thought this performance was very pleasant.
After listening to it, Jiang Ci couldn't help but wonder, "What song is this?"
Ivey didn't look at him: ""Winonia"."
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "It sounds good."
Hearing this compliment, Ivey turned his eyes back to him again, but did not speak.
"Winonia", a piece composed by a musician for the person he loves.
There is no moment when Ivey can feel the longing and longing in this song better than this time.
Seeing that Ivey didn't speak, Jiang Ci thought about it and said to him, "Actually, sometimes, you can be more frank."
Of course Jiang Ci was not accusing, he was just encouraging.
But hearing this sentence in Iver's ears, he couldn't help thinking a lot.
In fact, Ivey had thought before whether his inability to frankly personality would make it difficult to deal with the youth in front of him.
There is no need for God to guess him, because God can directly turn a blind eye to him.
Jiang Ci felt something from Ivey's quietness, and he immediately remedied: "I didn't say that you are so embarrassed now."
The system had to be alerted again.
Almost got it, you can say a few words less.
And just thinking about it, the system heard its host say: "There are also cute things that are not candid."
Ivey was immobilized by this sentence, because the night clan's complexion was slightly pale, and his reddish ear tips could not be covered.
A system has lost its dream here.
Obviously, the tip of his ear is slightly red, but Ivey's face is more dignified and indifferent. He probably doesn't know the reaction of his ear tip. The contrast between the two will only make it more obvious.
"It's up to you if you want to," he said in a rather cold-sounding tone.
Urgently needing something to change the subject, Ivey glanced at the black dragon on Jiang Ci's shoulder: "When will you repay the debt in Youye City?"
[After going back.]
The dragon language conveyed by magic is very short, but the meaning is clearly expressed.
After going back, it should refer to after returning to Long Island.
Jiang Ci thought about it and made a decision: "When you go back, I will follow along to see it."
Promising to return to Arsene to see the beautified city may have to be postponed again...
The dragon race is a race that can resist some natural disasters only by relying on the basic defense of the individual. Jiang Ci is not worried about the survival of the dragons, but it is necessary to take a look.
After a brief understanding of the situation, Jiang Ci was ready to immediately go to the race he was most worried about.
Humanity-
The race with the shortest lifespan and the most vulnerable body is also the race with the lowest magical talent.
Jiang Ci, who was also just a "human" in the original world, was a bit unimaginable for what human beings had to rely on to resist those extremely serious natural disasters.
After arriving in You Ye City, Jiang Ci had the opportunity to ask Ivey if he knew about the human condition, and the answer he heard was fairly stable.
Human managers are very capable, and Ivey frowned at the time, reluctantly admitting it.
This is not to say what kind of powerful power the other party has. Humans are very weak, and even managers are the weakest among them.
But humans are beyond what their intellects have succeeded in doing—something that's only so true for other races, but the miraculous results from a human point of view make Evie willing to face up to this weaker race.
It can be said that there is the sharpest contrast between the first race created by God, and the last human race created by God.
The Celestial Clan was born proud because of its strength.
And because humans are weak, they know how to humble themselves more than any other race.
A race that will tighten the ropes and force itself to keep improving, Ivey will not underestimate them.
When Jiang Ci said he was going to Long Island with him, the black dragon cub on his shoulder murmured a few times, and he could hear its happiness from the sound.
Originally, even if Jiang Ci didn't speak first, this black dragon also had such an idea.
Dragons will want to bring treasures they cherish back to their lair, and they will want to keep treasures there, guarding them from others.
As a result, Jiang Ci heard the black dragon express to him that he wanted to leave immediately.
Ivey is now a little regretful of why he has to pay the indemnity. He looked at this black dragon indifferently and always approached God rudely.
This is a valid reason.
The environment of You Ye City has also recovered, and he can walk away.
[Well.]
Hei Long responded with a low single tone, which did not sound like a welcome, but did not refuse.
The black dragon in the form of a cub fluttered from Jiang Ci's shoulder to the ground, and then began to gradually regain its shape.
It returned to the black dragon that Jiang Ci first saw, and at this time, the black dragon lay down facing Jiang Ci and stared at him with scarlet vertical pupils.
This action and gaze revealed meekness. Jiang Ci felt that the black dragon seemed to be signaling something to him. He thought about it and asked tentatively, "You want me to go on your back...?"
The black dragon responded with a low voice from his throat.
Jiang Ci agreed: "Okay."
To reach the back of a giant dragon, even if the dragon is silent, is not an easy task for ordinary people.
Fortunately, after treating the night clan, Jiang Ci's control of his mind has improved a lot, and he easily uses the wind element to send himself to the dragon's back.
Ivey watched, frowned, and immediately asked Arnold to prepare the floating ship.
Apart from God, this black dragon could not carry any other creatures on its back, not even dead objects.
Ordinary dragons can already fly faster than floating ships. Noyce's flying ability is of course better.
It added a protective shield to Jiang Ci's side to block the strong wind, and flew at full speed, and arrived at the destination within a day.
The scenery of Long Island is magnificent and beautiful. The size of the animals and plants growing here seems to be several times that of the outside world. If people from other races come here, they may feel that the world is enlarged.
Dragons generally do not like to use human form, so their urban structure can be said to be very simple. Some buildings that look like super-giant shells are the lair of a dragon. At a glance, there are many such alien buildings in the city.
When the manager came back, it was not difficult for other dragons to find its huge figure, but it was the young man on the back of the black dragon who made these giant dragons shrink their vertical pupils as if they had seen some precious treasure.
god-
This is indeed the most precious treasure.
Noyce flew Jiang Ci directly back to its lair. This "cave" was so huge that it could allow an adult dragon to move in it. It is conceivable how vast it was.
After the black dragon landed, it continued to carry the youth on its back to the deepest part of the lair, where each giant dragon used to collect treasures, and then put Jiang Ci down.
Jiang Ci was almost caught in the eye by the pile of shiny treasures, countless gold coins and gems, and countless expensive collections, just piled up everywhere on the floor, and he would step on it whenever he landed.
"Let's go out." Jiang Ci felt that it was fine outside.
But the black dragon who stayed at the exit of this treasure house did not move. Its scarlet vertical pupils were staring at Jiang Ci, and the black dragon who brought the treasured treasure to its lair was satisfied, and now it is unwilling to remove its eyes from the youth. .
This black dragon felt that in its treasury, only this treasure was enough, and other treasures were not needed.
Before waiting for the black dragon's response, Jiang Ci thought about raising his hand to touch the black dragon's head, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he lay directly on the treasure pile because of an accident similar to the previous one.
A little awkward, this was Jiang Ci's first reaction.
The black dragon in human form pressed on top of him, and this time his vertical pupils shrank especially sharply.
The satisfaction of bringing cherished treasures to his lair, and the young man who looks especially beautiful against the backdrop of other treasures, these two conditions combine to make this black dragon uncontrollably infatuated.
Noyce stared at the young man lying on the treasure pile and said in a low voice, "Give it to you."
Jiang Ci was confused: "What?"
Noyce tilted his head: "Everything here, and me."
This black dragon was admitting to Jiang Ci that he was captured by the other party.
