Ji Ling's body froze, and for a moment Carlos' eyes made him feel that everything he had hidden was gone... But he quickly calmed down. At least until now, what he has shown is in line with his personality. Even if there are some flaws that make Carlos suspicious, he can't guess the real truth.
No matter how cunning and scheming Carlos is, he is still a person of this world after all, so how could he possibly think that what he is in is actually a "Truman's World"
This old fox may just be keenly aware of a hint of his own leaked emotions, so just refuse to admit it!
After a while, Ji Ling blinked lightly, and said in an innocent voice, "How could that be?"
Carlos looked at him deeply: "Really?"
Ji Ling's eyes were extremely 'sincere', and there seemed to be a hint of misunderstood grievance: "Of course, how could I avoid you."
The corners of Carlos's lips were raised, and there was a smile that was not a smile. The little guy was really trying to hide himself, but unfortunately he was not perfect enough. He must have hidden secrets that he didn't want to be known by him.
But as long as Ji Ling doesn't want to talk about it now, he doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
And the little guy is cute even when he's pretending to hide it...
He hoped that the teenager could be more presumptuous and unscrupulous in front of him, instead of facing himself cautiously like other people.
Fortunately, he was patient enough to allow the boy to slowly open his heart to himself.
Carlos brushed Ji Ling's slightly red eyes lightly with his fingertips, and opened his lips to let out a deep playful laugh, "But... if I didn't show up today, would you think of looking for me?"
Ji Ling opened his mouth, speechless.
Carlos looked at his embarrassment, and after a while, he let out a soft sigh of helplessness, "I don't mean to blame you, I just... worry about you."
Carlos' eyes were full of worry, and he said, "What if I don't come here today? I don't want you to encounter the same danger as today... Do you understand?"
Ji Ling stared at him blankly, his gaze fell into his deep brown pupils, the expression contained in them was so gentle and sincere, and like a boundless ocean, it embraced everything about him to its heart's content.
His good, his bad, his wayward...
Carlos never cared whether what he did was right or whether it would hurt others, he just stood behind him without hesitation, shielding himself from the wind and rain, and resisting everything.
Ji Ling's eyes were in a trance for a moment.
Although this is a bloody, cruel, insidious and despicable villain, when he is willing to pretend to pamper someone unconditionally, it is really too confusing, and it is easy for people to indulge in it unconsciously...
It's a pity...Ji Ling is an upright young man with straight three views, and his mind is very clear now!
If Carlos can believe that sows can climb trees, and how could he ask Carlos to help him deal with Ning Yu now? I'm afraid I don't want to do this task.
Ji Ling didn't take it seriously in his heart, and said obediently: "I'm sorry, in fact, it was just a temporary idea, I didn't think about it so much, and I didn't expect to meet Marshal Brandon..."
"You..." After a long while, Carlos raised his hand and stroked Ji Ling's head, brushing the soft golden hair with his fingertips, and restrained and complex colors hidden in the depths of his eyes.
In order not to be too tight, he has not appeared in front of the boy for several days, but he found that the separation did not reduce the longing in his heart at all, and the desire for urgency became stronger... It was the first time he tried, Care about what it feels like to be a person.
Once again, he was clearly aware of his unusual feelings for the boy.
Even Wen Yan, that selfish and despicable guy, can often appear by the boy's side, watching him and guarding him all the time.
But I can't.
All of this made Carlos jealous, and he was almost unable to suppress the impulse in his heart. He wanted to imprison the young man by his side so that he could not leave his sight for a moment... instead of only being passed on by others, Come to learn the few words that belong to the teenagers.
Carlos tightened his arms around the boy slightly.
Ji Ling looked at Carlos' eyes that suddenly became dark, as if the man in front of him was about to show his ferocious fangs... and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
There should be no problem with my answer just now, right? How can you change your attitude as soon as you say it? Why is the villain so moody? You have been pretending for so long, you must continue to pretend!
Ji Ling was a little nervous, and stammered: "Ka, Uncle Carlos..."
Just when Ji Ling was panicking, a black hover car suddenly stopped in front of the two of them, the door slowly opened, and a handsome man with long silver hair in a white robe stepped down and came to him step by step... Respectful He lowered his head and said, "Master, I'm here to take you home."
Ji Ling was shocked and bewildered!
Which one is this? !
He, he didn't tell Wen Yan when he came out, how could Wen Yan know that he was here...
Carlos turned his head to look at the silver-haired man standing aside respectfully, his eyes narrowed slightly, and slowly covered with a layer of coldness... This man is really getting more and more annoying.
Ji Ling was held in the arms of the big villain Carlos, and looked at the other big villain Wen Yan who was standing respectfully beside him in a trance.
He finally realized sadly that he might be being followed...
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to appear here by such a coincidence, but Ji Ling really can't figure out, what is there in him that is worth the trouble of the two big villains? At best, he is a vicious cannon fodder!
But now is not the time to think about this. Ji Ling rolled his eyes and said to Carlos again: "Uncle Carlos, I should go back."
After speaking, he looked at Carlos seriously to show his determination to go home!
Although the sudden appearance of Wen Yan also has unclear intentions, but going home now is the best choice. In this way, Wen Yan's arrival is like a timely rain...
"Uncle Carlos?" Seeing that Carlos did not let go, Ji Ling deliberately looked at him with a puzzled look, and reminded him again.
Carlos looked at the boy's clear blue eyes full of blankness, so pitiful...
After a long time, he finally let go of his hand.
Immediately, Ji Ling nimbly got out of Carlos' arms, and said softly, "Then, I'll go first..."
Carlos watched him silently.
Ji Ling didn't dare to look at Carlos anymore, and walked quickly to the suspension car. Wen Yan showed him a humble smile, took his hand and helped him get on the car, with gentle and considerate gestures.
At an angle that Ji Ling couldn't see, Wen Yan turned his head slightly, his black eyes met Carlos's gaze, showing a cold and indifferent look... until the car door slowly closed, blocking the two people's sight.
Carlos' pupils shrank, and killing intent burst into his eyes.
They didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just a wrong look in their eyes seemed to bring out the shadow of a sword!
Well, it looks like... you've made your decision.
Then you should understand what price you should pay for it.
... ... ...
It wasn't until the car door was completely closed that Ji Ling quietly glanced at the silver-haired man beside him who seemed to be pleasing to the eye. He always felt that today he was constantly jumping from one fire pit to another fire pit and then to another fire pit...
I can't jump out no matter what.
Ji Ling turned his eyes away sadly and looked outside, counting the time silently in his heart, and finally returned to his home.
Due to physical and mental exhaustion, Ji Ling really didn't have the mood to continue dealing with Wen Yan, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what idea he had, which was not a good idea after all. So he directly opened his mouth and said: "I don't need your service today, you go back first."
But this time Wen Yan did not leave obediently as usual, but stood there, looking at him with complicated and deep eyes.
Ji Ling: "...?"
Wen Yan looked at the young man in front of him distressed and frightened. If he had been with the young man from the beginning, he would not have let him face Brandon and Carlos alone... If something really happened, he would not be able to forgive himself.
Deep self-blame appeared in his dark eyes, he was silent for a moment, and said to Ji Ling: "I want to be honest with you."
When Ji Ling heard this, he almost exploded with fright! Fuck, what are you going to be honest with me? To be honest, you are a beast-faced, white-eyed wolf, and you have been plotting against me? Don't be honest with me! I don't want to hear that at all!
Let us continue this hypocritical peace, okay
Just when Ji Ling was in shock, he heard Wen Yan say softly: "I'm sorry, I inquired about your whereabouts without your permission."
Ji Ling: "..."
It’s not me talking about you, brother, you’d better speak in one breath, if you breathe too much, it’s easy to make people think blindly, I was so scared that I thought you were going to be honest...
I don't even know about it!
Ji Ling thought to himself, what's the big deal, as long as you don't confess your true colors! He put his heart back into his stomach again, showing a cold little expression, and said, "Is this what you want to confess?"
Wen Yan showed a guilty look, and said: "Yes, because I really care about you too much and worry about your safety, I rashly inquired about your whereabouts. I hope you can forgive me for my own assertion."
That's right, it's your usual hypocrisy! You took the initiative to bring this up because you were afraid that I would settle accounts after the fact. After all, even with the original owner's rough outline, this matter will be figured out sooner or later, and you can't keep it a secret.
Although Ji Ling didn't take it seriously, he still pretended to be dissatisfied and raised his chin and snorted: "What danger can I have? Who dares to touch me on this Emperor Star? Who told you to meddle in your own business."
Wen Yan bowed his head respectfully: "I'm sorry, I'm busy."
Ji Ling thought to himself that now that he had reached this point, he would just conscientiously drag out his hatred every day, and added in a contemptuous tone: "Then why Ning Yu, as a pariah, dares to look down on me? If Marshal Brandon didn't appear suddenly today, I must Let this pariah know what will happen if he offends me!"
Wen Yan looked at the young man's stubborn mouth and refused to admit defeat, but a tender feeling of pity gradually emerged in his heart.
He clearly remembered that something similar happened in his previous life.
But in fact, the boy didn't have any malice at all, he just couldn't swallow that breath, he didn't really want to hurt Ning Yu, but Brandon still hurt him that time. The young man suffered a lot because of his stubbornness and stubbornness, but because he couldn't let go of his face and pride...
Wen Yan couldn't bear to embarrass the young man, so he didn't expose it. He said kindly: "Of course those who offend you will pay the price, but I still hope that if you have anything you want to do in the future, just tell me."
Ji Ling immediately showed displeasure: "What do you mean? You think I can't do things well, and I need your help to deal with a pariah?"
Wen Yan suddenly knelt down on one knee, looked up at the young man's blue eyes with deep and gentle eyes, raised his head and said slowly: "That's not what I meant."
Ji Ling didn't expect him to kneel as soon as he said he would kneel, and he almost took a step back in fright, but managed to stabilize himself! He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
In the depths of Wen Yan's dark eyes was an almost imperceptible look of crazy attachment, and he said with a devout expression, "I am not questioning your ability, but as your loyal servant, it is my duty to serve you Obligation. Just let me do some small things, and you don't have to dirty your hands at all."
His youth is so noble and pure, he was born to be admired, loved and cared for by others.
Any dirty, humble, and despicable things should be done for him by himself, because his hands are dirty.
All the people and things that make you unhappy, I can make them disappear.
Because for me, the whole world is not as important as you coming alone.
Ji Ling stared blankly at Wen Yan solemnly promising him with such a pious attitude... His eyes were straightened.
is it necessary? Are you a dramatist? Are you addicted to acting
I believe you are a ghost.
Ji Ling recalled the events of his previous life. At that time, the plot of the story was coming to an end, and he was about to complete the task. In order to add trouble to Ning Yu and Jing Sui, he deliberately asked Wen Yan to help him assassinate Ning Yu, because he knew that Wen Yan would not Sincerely helping him, this matter will only further promote the relationship between Ning Yu and Jing Sui.
Wen Yan really lived up to his expectations, and he deliberately planned a failed assassination, and left evidence pointing to himself, so that he could be charged with hurting the war hero Ning Yu, which aroused the condemnation of the whole people.
For the high-ranking imperial nobles, it doesn't matter how many dirty things they do in private, but at least on the surface, they need to consider the emotions of the common people, let alone violate the laws of the empire openly. Ji Ling ordered the assassination of Ning Yu to be brought to the fore again by Wen Yan, which made Jing Sui furious.
Public opinion continued to ferment, and finally reached the point where even his father Ji Ting couldn't bear it. Ji Ting paid a lot for this, and finally won Jing Sui's understanding and compromise. The condition for saving Ji Ling's life is to deprive him of his aristocratic glory and expel him from Emperor Star and never allow him to return, so as to appease the anger of the people.
Well, although this incident was within Ji Ling's expectation, he still had a deeper understanding of Wen Yan's black and mercenary.
In order to help Ning Yu vent his anger, he was merciless to himself!
Although I still have to find Wen Yan when I need 'help' in the future, but it's definitely not now. Now I have to stay in Emperor Star and continue to add trouble to Ning Yu! I'm afraid that my brain is flooded, so I will use your big killer now.
Ji Ling showed a disdainful expression, raised his chin and said impatiently: "I see. You go, I'm going to rest!"
Wen Yan looked at the young man's disdain and impatience. Although he said he knew it, Wen Yan knew very well in his heart that the young man didn't really want to help him with anything. A helpless look appeared in his eyes, and his heart was filled with regret and pain. the emergence of.
Because the youth in the previous life was like this. Although he seemed arrogant and domineering, and said those hurtful things from time to time, he never really treated himself as a servant. He helped himself... never asked for anything in return.
As a high-ranking nobleman, he is willing to help the humble me without asking for anything in return.
The only time the young man let himself do things for him was that night, when he saw the news that Ning Yu and Jing Sui were about to get married, he looked at him with a pale and bloodless face, and ordered himself to help him kill Ning Yu.
But what about myself
But when he begged himself for the only time, he ruthlessly betrayed him, made him bear an unforgivable crime, and in the end, in despair... was expelled from the Emperor Star by the person he loved the most.
Just because I am so selfish and despicable, greedy and dissatisfied in my heart, in order to satisfy my dirty desires, I let the high-ranking young man fall into the dust, trying to take him as my own in this way.
Wen Yan thought of this, and the pain and self-blame stirred in his chest like a sharp knife.
And it wasn't until after the boy died that he finally realized how wrong he was.
The true nobility of a young man does not lie in his status as a nobleman, but in his clean and pure heart, which is something that he will never be able to touch. With such a despicable method, he will never be able to truly possess this person.
Even if the boy steps down from the altar one day, he is only worthy of crawling at his feet and kissing his toes.
Wen Yan's eyes sparkled, suppressing the pain in his heart, his lips moved slightly, and he lowered his head and made a hoarse voice, "I understand... If you need me any longer.
Please tell me, please? "
In this life, I swear to dedicate my loyalty to you, willing to be driven by you.
Never betray.
... ... ...
Ji Ling finally sent away Wen Yan, the great god, and fell on the bed with dazed eyes. Only then did he finally have time to think carefully about Brandon's actions tonight, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong...
The word rebirth suddenly appeared in Ji Ling's mind again.
If it was Brandon, it seemed very possible that he would behave like this after rebirth! After all, Jagged Marshal Brandon is different from Carlos and others. He is a principled person.
In order to follow the plot in my last life, I took a risk to save him once under the guidance of the system, and then deliberately and arrogantly asked him to repay me, so as to arouse Brandon's disgust and disgust.
Ji Ling is very aware of how abhorrent and unworthy his performance was at the time. For Marshal Brandon, who is known as the "Imperial God of War", he was rescued by trash like himself and forced to deal with the one he liked. People, probably more disgusting than eating flies... But after all, it was a life-saving grace, Brandon finally admitted it with a pinch of his nose.
If Brandon is reborn, then he sees what he is doing now, although he is very angry, but because of the life-saving grace of his previous life, he has to endure it desperately... Thinking of it this way is completely different from the twisted expression of his complicated struggle at that time. That's right, and it's logical!
If... Brandon really changed his behavior because of his rebirth, what about Wen Yan and Carlos
Ji Ling suddenly trembled.
This idea is too terrible to stop! ! !
Ji Ling suddenly sat up from the bed: [System, are you sure they haven't been reborn?]
The system was silent for a while, then said slowly: [I'm not sure.]
Ji Ling: [? ? ?]
Ji Ling said angrily: [You didn't say that last time, you swore to me before that there is no rebirth factor in this book!]
System explanation: [This book does not have any rebirth factors, but your last strategy failure caused the world to collapse, and it is temporarily unknown what impact it will have on the characters in this world. According to my data system calculations, the probability of rebirth is so small that it is negligible, but it is not completely impossible. From the perspective of Murphy's Law...]
Ji Ling: [You shut up.]
The system thought for a while, and decided not to argue with the irrational host for the time being, and ended the conversation with professional clichés: [In the face of unusual emergencies, please use your wisdom and courage to complete the task.]
Ji Ling's expression was dull, and after a long time, he only replied the words "system hehe".
He fell heavily on the bed, completely speechless from his anger, wishing he could get the hot chicken system out and beat him up, but he knew it was impossible—so he decided to fight the system coldly!
Cold war, must be cold war!
... ... ...
Ji Ling fell asleep in a daze, and woke up the next day with thick dark circles under her eyes.
As usual, I read the reports on Xingwang.com, and finally understood why I met Ning Yu at that auction last night. It was really a coincidence.
Ning Yu was on a mission. The military inspection department under Brandon had already grasped the clues of a large-scale black industrial chain, and involved many nobles, involving slave trade and smuggling of genetic evolution agents and other crimes. Just yesterday In the evening, this black industrial chain was brought up.
Ji Ling was relieved that he didn't mention anything about himself in the report.
In short, it is indeed the fetters of fate that the Emperor Star is so big and so easy to meet!
He continued to watch the news, and then got his wish and found the gossip he wanted to see. Some of Ning Yu's fanatical fans took pictures of Ning Yu entering and exiting Marshal Brandon's residence.
Ji Ling was almost moved to tears, he finally saw the only good news since the second brush! That is, Ning Yu lived in Brandon's house because of her own reasons!
According to the plot, Ning Yu will have a long-term relationship with Brandon at his home, and Brandon will fall in love with Ning Yu more because of this, and Ning Yu will also have the opportunity to meet Jing Sui to develop a relationship.
The plot was finally rescued, and his efforts were not in vain!
This incident was like a shot in the arm, and Ji Ling regained some motivation.
In fact, he was originally a very tenacious and resilient person. Although he would often encounter difficulties and blows, and would be dejected like ordinary people, he never really gave up easily, and would always stand up again and continue to work hard.
In order to go home, what is this setback!
Ji Ling stayed at home and began to think about how to proceed with the next plot.
Speaking of which, I was injured after kidnapping Ning Yu in the last life, so I should recuperate at home. Nothing happened this time, so eating and drinking at home seemed good.
Although there were some ups and downs and difficulties before, but thinking about it from another angle, it would be nice to be able to avoid a beating...
When Ji Ling was staying at home one day, thinking about what he should do in the next plot, and wasting his time doing nothing, Hardy, a servant at home, suddenly came over with a beautiful invitation card, and said respectfully to Ji Ling: "Young master, what's the date?" It was given to you by Don Carlos."
Ji Ling took it over suspiciously and saw that it was Carlos who invited him to stay at his home.
This kind of communication between the nobles is actually quite normal. The original owner used to often go to stay at a friend’s house, but it seemed very abnormal when it happened to Carlos... As a powerful grand duke, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a matter of time. , it's okay, what kind of juniors like yourself will live in the past? Could it be that you accompany me to go out to eat, drink and have fun, accompany me to pick up girls and accompany me to be high? !
Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!
System: [I do not recommend that you accept the invitation.]
Ji Ling is determined not to talk to the garbage system, they are still in a cold war! And what else do you do but bullshit
His fingers stroked the graceful gilt lettering on the invitation card, and the look in his eyes changed.
From the bottom of his heart, he was very reluctant to get close to Carlos.
But this is the end of the matter... Blindly dodging is useless. Since Carlos invited him, he must have a plan, so... isn't this also a good opportunity to test him? How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den
Ji Ling took a deep breath, with a determined look in his eyes.
The system emphasized the tone: [You should think about it carefully.]
Ji Ling put away the invitation card and folded it, raised his eyelashes, and said slowly to Hardy: "Reply to Uncle Carlos for me, and I accept his invitation."
