The young man's pale face and terrified eyes, like a sharp knife, pierced through Brandon's indestructible exterior like a bamboo shoot, and hit his softest heart directly, causing a dull dull pain, making his footsteps stop in place.
Brandon did not expect that Ji Ling would be so afraid of himself...
In fact, he just wanted to comfort him.
Brandon looked at the boy's terrified expression, and he neither advanced nor retreated for a while. After a while, he made a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid."
Ji Ling retreated irrevocably, with his back leaning against the cold wall, looking at the tall man in front of him in fear, ready to be beaten... Who knew that Brandon stopped suddenly and told him Don't be afraid, I was stunned, and my eyes couldn't help showing a suspicious look.
He quietly glanced at Brandon's stern and cold face, and thought to himself, I've made Ning Yu so embarrassed that I almost used the gene destroyer, aren't you angry? Even if you don't talk about other things, Ning Yu is at least your comrade in arms through life and death! The accomplice Deng Dong was almost beaten to death by you, would you let a culprit like me go
Don't be afraid, there will be ghosts!
As long as he thought that he might be beaten into a puddle of flesh by the angry marshal and then sent back to the resurrection point, Ji Ling's legs became a little weak, and he said sternly and cowardly: "You, if you touch me, my father will not let me go!" Pass yours!"
Ji Ling stared at him desperately, but his trembling body completely exposed his heart...
Brandon: "…"
He looked at the young man who was obviously terrified, but pretended to be stubborn and arrogant. He didn't know whether it was out of anger or amused... His heart was filled with helplessness, distress and pity.
If it was the former self, seeing this scene would only feel contempt and disgust, thinking that he was just another dandy who did many evils and was greedy for life and fear of death. Such a person would not regret death at all.
But the current self can no longer feel the slightest bad feeling towards the boy.
The young man's fear at this moment is not fake, he was born on the extravagant and prosperous Emperor Star, and he was cared for in the palm of his hand since he was a child. In essence, he is just a timid child who is afraid of pain... But he was born with a cowardly appearance, but he can also step on his feet. After going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, when everyone gave up, he risked his life to appear in front of him.
To save someone who looked down on him and hurt him.
How kind is this
What kind of courage is needed
Although the young man looks no different from other dandies on the surface, but at the critical moment, his courage and kindness are not lost to any soldier who defends his home and country. He has a more fearless and bright heart than anyone else. ... However, they did not get the respect and respect they deserved.
Everyone saw Ning Yu's goodness, but no one saw his.
This is so unfair.
Pain gripped Brandon's heart like a hand.
He looked at the boy's guarded and fearful eyes, and although he really wanted to go forward, he was afraid of frightening him. After a while, Brandon opened the corner of his mouth, showing a rare stiff smile, trying to show that he was not angry, and slowly said: "I won't touch you."
Looking at Brandon's 'cold and weird' ferocious smile, Ji Ling suddenly felt even more terrifying!
He had never seen Brandon smile at him in his two lifetimes. Brandon was originally a serious character, and he always showed a stern and cold-blooded image. He seldom even smiles at his friends and subordinates, let alone smiles kindly at a dandy like himself. Usually, it would be nice to give him a disdainful and indifferent look...
Moreover, brother, you are smiling as if you are going to send me to the execution ground...
Ji Ling swallowed, looked at him vigilantly and said, "You, what do you want to do..."
Brandon saw that not only could he fail to appease the little guy, but the other party was even more frightened and on guard, with a bitter look in his eyes.
Most of the people he came into contact with on weekdays were his own subordinates. The soldiers on the battlefield were all rough-skinned and thick-skinned. His friends are like-minded strong people, and they get along easily and casually. As for the enemies, they just need to hit them directly and ruthlessly.
For him, comforting people is something he has never touched.
Especially to comfort such a spoiled and frightened child, as if speaking loudly could frighten him to tears...
This is simply more difficult for Brandon than any dangerous battle.
Moreover, the other party obviously distrusted him and resisted him.
Like a frightened little animal.
Brandon smiled wryly, looked at Ji Ling, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "I know it wasn't your idea, the gene destroyer was produced by Deng Dong, right?"
Ji Ling looked at Brandon in amazement, almost thinking that Brandon had the perspective of God. How did he know that the gene destroyer was produced by Deng Dong? And the key is, why should he excuse himself! What's the matter with this weird tone that seems to be comforting yourself...
Shouldn't he beat himself up indiscriminately and then take Ning Yu away
Ji Ling suddenly thought of all the abnormal guys before. Could it be that Brandon is also abnormal? ! This thought almost made Ji Ling want to burst into tears. Compared to facing an unpredictable Brandon, he suddenly felt that he was not as agile as the one who was directly beaten...
Is it easy to do a task yourself? Not to mention that the second swipe is more difficult than the first swipe, and you have to face a group of big bosses who don't play according to the routine... It's completely unpredictable.
Thinking of all the things that happened after I came back, all kinds of sadness suddenly came to my heart, and I only felt sore eyes.
Brandon looked at the suddenly reddened eyes of the young man, as if he had been greatly wronged, and was at a loss for what to do. He... he had tried very hard to comfort him, why did the young man seem to be more sad
Where did I say something wrong
Brandon took a deep breath and looked at the aggrieved young man with red eyes. If someone who didn't know saw it, he would think he was scolding him... But in fact, he didn't even want to say a serious word.
Just when Brandon was hesitating and having a headache, he didn't know how to continue speaking.
Suddenly there was the sound of the cane tapping lightly on the metal floor behind him, and then an elegant, magnetic, and slightly dull voice said: "Oh? It looks very lively here."
Brandon's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned his head slowly, and met Carlos's elegant and deep face with a half-smile.
A chill suddenly appeared in Brandon's eyes. He was only talking to Ji Ling just now, but he forgot to look around, and he didn't even notice that Carlos appeared.
His first reaction was to pull Jiling, wanting to protect the boy first.
As a result, just as Brandon raised his hand, he saw the terrified young man who was facing him, like a dexterous rabbit, quickly passed by him, and jumped into Carlos' arms!
And Brandon's hand was still in mid-air, his expression stunned.
Carlos also seemed to be a little surprised by Ji Ling's "throwing into his arms", but he quickly showed a gentle expression, and raised his hand to put the boy into his arms. Pat patted.
Brandon gradually came back to his senses, concealed the flash of sadness in his eyes, looked at Carlos with a cold expression, and clenched his fists. He almost forgot that now that Carlos has not revealed his true colors, Ji Ling still foolishly believes in him...
Ji Ling held Carlos's skirt tightly, and said with red eyes, "Uncle Carlos, save me!"
He didn't know why Carlos appeared here, and he didn't know his purpose, but until now, Carlos had pretended to be nice to him... If that's the case, then you can stand up for me! Anyway, you and Brandon have always been enemies. It is only natural to protect me in front of him. If you use me, I will use you. Isn't that fair
Carlos looked at the young man's wet blue eyes, looking forward to himself as if seeing a savior, so cute and pitiful, it made one's heart soft, and his eyes became more gentle.
Although Brandon really shouldn't scare the boy, if it wasn't for him, how could the little guy be willing to ask himself for help? Thinking of this, even Brandon is not so unpleasant.
Anyway, in this life, I will never give Brandon another chance to hurt the boy.
Brandon watched the young man rush into Carlos's arms unsuspectingly, seeing his trusting and dependent eyes on Carlos, this scene made his eyes sting, anger and jealousy surged in his heart, and he wished he could go directly Former general Ji Ling snatched from Carlos' arms!
In his previous life, it was Carlos, the ruthless bastard, who sent Ji Ling into the hands of the cruel, cold-blooded and cruel leader of the rebel army, just because he wanted to use Ji Ling's death to arouse the dissatisfaction of the nobles against the rebel army, so as to force Jing Sui to fight against the rebel army. And the bloody suppression of civilians who supported the rebels.
In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the boy who trusted him.
If he was not lucky enough, Ji Ling would have died that time.
But the current Ji Ling doesn't know these things. He doesn't know how cruel and despicable this Uncle Carlos, who seems to be very kind to him in wolf skin, is.
How would he betray and hurt him
Brandon looked cold, with murderous intent in his eyes, and shouted sharply, "Let him go."
Ji Ling's body froze, and he clutched Carlos's skirt even more tightly.
Carlos felt Ji Ling's fear, felt pity in his heart, and hugged the boy in his arms tightly. Looking up at Brandon, he raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Oh? Why do you ask me to let him go?"
Brandon's fists were clenched and rattling. Looking at Carlos' hideous face, he wished he could smash his hypocritical mask with a punch! But Ji Ling's terrified eyes, like a shackle, firmly restrained his impulse.
For a long time, he looked deeply at Ji Ling, and said in a hoarse voice, word by word as if he had promised, "Come here, I won't hurt you."
As long as Ji Ling is willing to come back, I must protect him well, even if it has nothing to do with Carlos turning his face now.
But... The only response to Brandon was a distant look of fear.
This answer seems to have been expected.
Pain and sadness slowly appeared in Brandon's eyes.
The boy was in Carlos' arms, looking at his eyes, his blood was cold, and he couldn't make any movements. The pain and weakness wrapped around his limbs like vines, so he had to accept this fact.
The teenager didn't want to leave, didn't want to come back.
He doesn't believe him.
Could it be that I really wanted to disregard the boy's wishes and would rather scare him than forcibly snatch him away from Carlos? Brandon couldn't do such a thing, how could he bear to hurt him again.
Carlos looked down at the boy's dependent eyes, and raised his hand to touch the soft blond hair. He was very satisfied with the boy's obedience. The boy is so cute...how could he not be willing to protect him
No one can make you unhappy, not even Brandon.
Carlos raised his head to face Brandon, with a slight sarcasm on the corner of his lips, and said: "It seems that he is not willing to go there. If there is nothing else, Your Excellency the Marshal... leave."
After speaking, he put his arms around Ji Ling and turned to leave.
Brandon's reflexive step forward is about to be blocked!
But as soon as he took a step, he stopped slumped, his fists clenched and rattled, and finally watched Ji Ling's back disappear in front of him again...
The thick ink in his eyes surged, like a hurricane was brewing.
Now even if I have passed, no matter what I say or do, Ji Ling will not believe it, he believes in Carlos wholeheartedly.
carlos...
Brandon's gray eyes are icy cold! You won't be complacent for too long, because this time I will definitely tear off your mask and let Ji Ling see your ruthless heart clearly!
This time, I will never give you another chance to deceive him.
Carlos took Ji Ling away, and his subordinates did not forget to take away Deng Dong who was on the ground. In the blink of an eye, only Brandon and Ning Yu were left in the room.
Ning Yu walked over slowly. He had actually recovered. With his super S-level evolutionary physique, the effect of the medicine would not last long. But he always stood quietly and did not intervene in the dispute between Brandon and Carlos.
He looked at Brandon's abnormal behavior today, and remembered Brandon's words in defense of Ji Ling last time, and doubts appeared in his eyes again, but he didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Thank you for coming."
Brandon looked back at Ning Yu's calm and gentle eyes, and slowly, guilt emerged in his heart.
Ji Ling came to trouble Ning Yu twice in a row, no matter what his inner reality was, at least on the surface it seemed to be too much, and it did cause some harm to Ning Yu. But in this life, he did not stand up for Ning Yu, allowing him to be humiliated like this, all of which caused Brandon to suffer a lot.
But how can I explain that Ji Ling has no bad intentions
Ning Yu was keenly aware of Brandon's embarrassment and struggle, smiled lightly, and said softly: "I'm fine."
With three simple words, everything can be easily exposed.
Since I'm fine now, it doesn't matter if you don't pursue Ji Ling. No matter what decision you make, I believe you have your reasons, because I trust you as a person.
And I'm a fighter, not a weak person who can't bear a little grievance.
Brandon understood the meaning of Ning Yu's words and read his eyes. He was relieved and felt more self-blame and guilty. After a long while, he seemed to have finally made a decision, and said slowly: "In order to avoid If there is another accident, you can temporarily move to my house."
He still said it.
But this time, it was not because he was afraid that Ning Yu would be in danger. After he knew this, Ning Yu would not be made things difficult again. Deng Dong's fate was enough to frighten those dandies, making them dare not act rashly again.
He let Ning Yu live in his home just because he knew that Jing Sui would see Ning Yu at his home soon and was attracted by Ning Yu.
After all, an outstanding person like Ning Yu is always easy to attract the attention of others, and his brilliance cannot be concealed.
So, it doesn't matter even if I don't like him anymore... because there will still be many people who like him and trust him, and Ning Yu never lacks them.
But Ji Ling is different, no one likes him, trusts him, and protects him.
He is the one who needs to protect himself.
sorry…
In this life, I hope that you can reap your love and career well, and that you and Jing Sui can be together smoothly... This is the only thing I can give you as compensation.
And if this is the case, Ji Ling might give up earlier, and won't be hurt by it anymore.
As a good friend of Jing Sui, Brandon knows best what a cold and determined person Jing Sui is. Perhaps only someone like Ning Yu who is also firm in heart and clear in purpose is his suitable partner.
And the young man's love is too pure and fierce, it will only get hurt.
... ... ...
Although Deng Dong was seriously injured, he did not die, and was quickly sent to the rescue. With the medical methods of the Star Empire, his life would not be in danger. After learning this, Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, he finally had time to be afraid...
I have just stepped out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den!
If it wasn't for avoiding Brandon, I would never have ventured close to Carlos anyway! And this old bastard appeared in such a timely manner, shouldn't he be following him? The thought terrified him!
Ji Ling was hugged by Carlos, very nervous, wishing to leave immediately. He let go of the hand holding Carlos's skirt, his eyelashes trembled and he raised his head, revealing his moist eyes, and said in a low voice, "Thank you..."
Carlos looked at the cutie in his arms with an extremely gentle expression: "What are you polite to me?"
Ji Ling showed a grateful look, and said cautiously: "Well, it's time for me to go home..."
With a light push, he tried to leave Carlos' arms.
But after leaving for a little bit, he felt a force coming from his waist. Ji Ling was caught off guard and slammed back hard. He raised his eyes in panic, and met the man's dark brown eyes. Inside, he was completely watching. Do not understand emotions.
An inexplicable unease appeared in Ji Ling's heart... The next moment, he felt the man's extremely aggressive breath approaching, and the man's deep and magnetic voice was wrapped in his warm breath, resounding in his ears, making people feel densely packed in his heart. Trembling, "Is this going? You're making me feel..."
Carlos's thin lips were slightly parted, and his tone was meaningful: "You are avoiding me."
Ji Ling froze.
