"I can't blame others for this kind of thing." After hearing Tai Zhiyuan's sigh, Xu Le was quite disapproving and was silent for a while, and decided to express his opinion, "You are the heir of the Seven Great Families, and we ordinary people are born with People in the two worlds, you may have never noticed it yourself, no matter how gentle you are, as long as you are in front of people... For example, at this time, you will naturally show a certain aura."
Tai Zhiyuan looked at him with interest and asked, "What aura?"
"I'm not quite sure." Xu Le smiled bitterly, "It's not something I like too much, maybe it's too calm, it's like everything in the world is under your control. People are used to your appearance, but when I met you, you were just an ordinary student with some money, so I wasn't used to it."
When Tai Zhiyuan heard these words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I never thought that in your eyes, I would be so unbearable."
Xu Le explained: "It's not unbearable, it's just unsuitable."
After a moment of silence, Tai Zhiyuan said seriously: "You are right, I shouldn't be demanding. The world has never been fair, and some people are born with more resources and power than others, such as me. I won't say hypocritically, it's a misery, because...everyone but me seems to want to have it and can't."
He looked at Xu Le's ordinary and amiable face, and said calmly, "Tell me about something else, did you have a good time in the battle room this morning?"
After changing the subject and talking about the black mecha walking away, Xu Le's mood finally relaxed a little, and no longer regarded the boy on the sofa in front of him as some kind of monster. After scratching his head, he said sincerely, "Thank you for covering up for me."
"Survival in this society requires many opportunities, and not everyone has the opportunity to shine. You encountered one this morning, but you ran away like a ghost." Tai Zhiyuan shook his head in disapproval. Said: "I don't know why you don't want to be famous. It's really not like a normal young man."
Xu Le thought to himself that I have my troubles, just as you have yours. How can this be explained? Am I going to tell you that I am a federal fugitive assisting a treason? In order to hide the complicated emotions in his heart, he squinted his eyes and smiled, and changed the subject naturally: "I thanked you before, now I will thank you again, after all, it is your coming-of-age ceremony, and you helped me so much. many."
"Oh, about men and women, no matter how much I can help you, that little cute girl ignores you, you are useless." Tai Zhiyuan looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "As for the coming-of-age ceremony, dozens of hours ago , you have taken me there. Today, these should be regarded as my return gift to you. "
While speaking, Tai Zhiyuan took out a red envelope from his arms and smiled bitterly: "See? This is the red envelope that the girl in the Xingchen Club gave me."
Seeing the red envelope in his hand, Xu Le forcibly suppressed his smile. But for some reason, he felt a little complacent in his heart. One of the two heirs of the Seventh Family of the Federation was raised by him for several days, and the other was taken by him to break it. This is going to be compiled into a TV series, and I am afraid that it will break the viewing record of Channel 23.
I have to say that Tai Zhiyuan is a person who can control the rhythm of the conversation and the atmosphere in the field. Under this red envelope, the sensitive wait-and-see attitude between the two young people gradually disappeared, and the sitting posture of the two became relaxed. a lot.
"In addition to the affairs of the clubhouse, I would also like to thank you for the oil cakes and porridge that you brought me these nights."
"In this way, as the heir to the dignified Tai family, you seem to be too stingy." Xu Le also had the mood to joke. "Even more stingy than that A-card girl, she at least gave you a red envelope, and you gave me two lights..."
Just as he was talking, his eyes became suspicious, because he saw a piece of paper that Tai Zhiyuan smiled and handed to him. After taking a look, Xu Le's eyes changed a bit, and he looked at Tai Zhiyuan in surprise: "Jian Shui'er's concert tickets? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Next week, Jian Shui'er will release her first solo album." Tai Zhiyuan retracted his hand and looked at him with a smile. "With her influence in the federation, the celebration concert will be held in about a month... And in fact, she has already booked the time and place of the concert. I know you are crazy about this girl... This thank you gift can Can't match those overnight pancakes you bought?"
Xu Le pretended not to hear the narrowness in the other party's words, scratching his head incredulously. Probably only the heirs of the Seven Great Families will get VIP tickets when Jian Shui'er's concert is still in preparation. For Xu Le, Jian Shui'er is not an idol. It's as simple as that. The face of the little purple-haired girl who appeared on Channel 23 every night, to him, represented the company of these years, and the absence of loneliness in these years. His memories in Donglin District, those parades on Gulou Street...
Looking at the thin ticket in his hand, thinking that in another month, he would see Jian Shui'er with his own eyes, Xu Le was stunned for a while, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Uh... I actually never thought of seeing Jian Shui'er." Xu Le was telling the truth. He was not a groupie. For him, Jian Shui'er was a very symbolic image. I prefer to keep a distance and watch from a distance... But despite what he said and thought in his heart, he carefully put the ticket into the lined pocket of the dress.
"Thank you anyway." Xu Le looked at Tai Zhiyuan, who was familiar and unfamiliar on the sofa, and said, "You don't need to do this."
Tai Zhiyuan sat on the sofa with coffee and drank it tastelessly. After Xu Le left, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to do. The Bimonthly Ball meant nothing to him, and he knew exactly what he should want and what he should do. That young man named Xu Le is not his real friend now - he has been doubting whether it is possible for him to have real friends in his life.
If Xu Le's appearance in his life was an accident, Tai Zhiyuan would not reject the appearance of such an accident, and was even willing to let such an accident exist for a longer period of time. Having met this interesting poor student these days, Tai Zhiyuan was also surprised that he could get along and talk to him like an ordinary person, but what happened after his identity was exposed
Tai Zhiyuan's eyes are very keen. From the details these days, he confirmed that Xu Le is a trustworthy and sincere person, but his personality seems to be a little twisted. Moreover, Tai Zhiyuan found out more and more that Xu Le was actually a very capable person, but this guy was always concealing some aspects of his abilities consciously or not.
Tai Zhiyuan admired Xu Le's character and ability, and even gave birth to the idea of bringing this young man into the family's field of vision, watching him grow, and absorbing him into a competent subordinate in the future. However, after today's conversation, he keenly noticed Xu Le Le's natural resistance to a certain possibility, although the two sides did not explicitly say it, has been fully revealed in the words and expressions.
"When Xu Le left, I asked where you were, and I said you were gone." Tai Zhiyuan stopped thinking about those things, returned to his usual calm, and looked at the middle-aged man who came out from behind the bookcase, "At this time With no one else, I think it's time to introduce myself."
The middle-aged man who followed Xu Le up to the second floor seemed to have disappeared at the moment of the previous conversation. He walked to Tai Zhiyuan and sat comfortably in front of Tai Zhiyuan without waiting for the master's order. On the sofa, he looked at the young man with a smile and said, "There are many people who want to look for you, but I am still the first..."
Butler Jin handed a cup of coffee to the mysterious middle-aged man, and then retreated behind Tai Zhiyuan, silent.
Tai Zhiyuan gently stroked the black coffee in the cup with a silver spoon, and said, "Since I have revealed my identity, I know that many people want to find me. But I know better that Xu Le has only three friends, and whether it is Zhang Xiao Meng or Shi Qinghai's uncle should not appear at the dance, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to sneak up with Xu Le easily... I certainly don't have an uncle who is a secret agent."
"You should know that on the way upstairs, you may die at any time." Tai Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man across from him calmly and under pressure, "But you are not afraid at all, you have no weapons on your body. ... So I'm willing to give you this adventurer a chance to talk, but you must report your name first, after all, I don't want the object of my first negotiation as an adult to be a charlatan."
Under those eyes full of pressure, the middle-aged man was not at all disturbed, took a sip of coffee, and said, "I'm very grateful that you didn't kill me directly before, but gave me a chance to speak."
"I'm from the mountains." The middle-aged man put down the coffee cup and looked at the teenager on the sofa calmly, "I hope it didn't surprise you."
Tai Zhiyuan fell into silence after hearing these words, and the housekeeper Jin behind him narrowed his eyes even more, and the chill gradually penetrated. The privileged class of the Federation and the anti-government army in the mountains have always been inseparable, but the other party is actually someone from the mountains
After Tai Zhiyuan thought for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he asked, "I think you should know that my mother has rejected the request of Congressman Medellin, and the leader of Nanshui should not let a person who can't promise anything to do it. This conversation, so it seems, your position in the mountains should be not bad... "
"Comrade Medellin has not been in the mountains for several years." The middle-aged man explained Tai Zhiyuan's question naturally.
"What's your rank in the mountains?" Tai Zhiyuan frowned slightly, staring at the middle-aged man's unusually wretched face.
"I directly assist Comrade Nanshui in his work." The middle-aged man said earnestly, "So I have the qualification to act as a full authority."
No matter how calm Tai Zhiyuan was, after hearing this answer, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and Butler Jin behind him even regretted it. If he had known the true identity of this person, he would definitely not have let the young master take the risk. This risk meets this person.
After a long silence, Tai Zhiyuan sighed softly: "I didn't expect to be able to see the most successful spy leader in the Thirty-Seven Constitutional Calendar. This is really my honor."
