Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 197: I've become bad

Views:

"Do they really live in Taishan City?"

There is a route from Qinghe to Langya that passes through Mount Tai, but I don't know if Cui Yuanyang originally planned to take this route, or if she planned to stop here to rest. Anyway, after meeting Zhao Changhe, Cui Yuanyang didn't want to hurry on, and hurriedly checked into the city ahead, clinging to her brother Zhao and refusing to let go.

Because Zhao Changhe refused to go into the car to talk to her in front of a group of Cui family members on the road, and only wanted to walk outside the car, the little girl was anxious to find a place to rest.

Zhuque, who also lived in the city, was stunned when he heard the reports from his subordinates.

You're here to bully me, right? Do you really think we from the Four Symbols Sect are here to scare you? You knew we were right here, yet you came to stay right next to us!

Xia Chi Chi was punished to kneel beside him with his hands on his head. Seeing Zhuque's angry look, he smiled and advised: "The little girl is clear in her mind. She knows that we won't try our best to kill her. There is no need, right?"

"It's all your fault." Zhuque didn't know where his temper came from. He took a feather duster and hit Xia Chichi on the butt: "I told you to wait for an opportunity to assassinate me, but you smiled at me. Now others think Baihu is a cat. Am I, Zhuque, a bird in her eyes?"

Xia Chichi screamed: "Although I have the opportunity to assassinate her, I can't run away. Do you really want me to exchange my life with her? She is such a waste, how can she be worthy of it..."

Zhuque knew that made sense. She didn't know what she was angry about. If she had to say what the most uncomfortable scene in her heart was, it might be the moment when Zhao Changhe held the little girl tightly in his arms and treated her as a big enemy.

I'm trying to recruit you into the sect with nice words one moment, and the next moment you're guarding against me tightly. Who would be in a good mood like this

And you say you are afraid of me.

At that time, I should have slapped you on the back and made you spit blood for ten days as a lesson!

Suzaku had forgotten that she didn't say many nice words when she was recruiting people into the sect. She carried people with pride and indifference, and her demonic flames were fierce and powerful, shocking everyone as soon as she appeared... It was normal for people to be on guard against her, Suzaku. She was not the Winged Fire Snake. In fact, they were really afraid of her behavior.

But Zhuque felt that his good intentions were being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was very unhappy. Seeing Xia Chichi's look of "I'm not wrong, I'll dare to do it next time" made him even more unhappy. He almost broke his feather duster and sneered, "Let's not talk about Cui Yuanyang. You said you don't have any old feelings for me. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Xia Chichi's eyes rolled around, knowing that it was difficult to argue. Although it made sense if he tried to force it, Zhuque was not stupid.

I simply admitted part of it honestly: "Well, it's only been more than half a year. If I say I'm completely heartless, Your Excellency wouldn't dare to trust such a heartless person too much, right? I admit that there is still a little bit of affection, just a little bit, it will be fine in the future..."

Zhuque glanced at her pitiful appearance of kneeling there with her hands on her head. He was clearly angry, but he also sighed: "As you said before, he has an affair with other women. Shouldn't you hate him more since you have a past relationship with him? But you are soft-hearted towards his other women. Women... this is why we can't be emotional, otherwise it will only bring sadness to ourselves."

Xia Chi Chi pursed his lips, thinking to himself that it was all because of you guys who forced me to do this. If the Holy Church didn't have that kind of broken rule, he and I would have lived together forever. At that time, if any woman dared to approach him, I would have fought her to the death. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to tear apart that little bitch who pretends to be cute

What about now? I don't have the confidence. I was the first one who couldn't be with him, so why should I ask him to wait for me

I am wronged...

Zhuque could actually see through Xia Chichi's psychology, and paced back and forth a few times in a somewhat awkward manner.

After getting to know him, she felt that Zhao Changhe's ideas, fighting qualities, and character were all very admirable to her. In addition, his status was very valuable, so she really wanted to recruit him into the sect. But Zhao Changhe had a different idea. It was not that she could sit back and watch his relationship with Xia Chichi just because he recruited her. On the contrary, since they had an old relationship, it was even more inappropriate to put them under the same roof. Otherwise, it would really defile the altar.

So it is impossible that something good would happen as Zhao Changhe imagined, such as Xia Chichi being seduced into joining the cult.

But I have to admit that since he admires you, he naturally won't want to kill you like he did before when he knew you had a past relationship. At this time, the option of killing is basically thrown out of the window. What Zhuque is worried about is how to have the best of both worlds.

Then I discovered that Xia Chichi’s own idea was the most correct.

If he finds another woman, the relationship here will naturally end, and then you can have the best of both worlds.

But due to Cui Yuanyang's age, Cui Wenjing had already made the three-year promise. Even if he regretted it now, he couldn't go back on his word in front of the whole world. Did he have to wait for them to be ambiguous for three years

There are still two and a half years left... Is that funny

Xia Chichi observed his expression and asked, "Your Excellency, are you interested in recruiting Zhao Changhe?"

Zhuque said with a straight face, "Don't say anything like you're going to hook up with her. No way. Even if I don't want Zhao Changhe, I can't let my own Saint Girl go wild. Forget about it."

Xia Chichi's joy froze in her stomach and she almost cried.

What an old dogma!

"The Saint is a worshiper of God. If you continue like this, my punishment will not be a feather duster. Don't take advantage of me."

"… "

Zhuque paced back and forth for a few steps, muttering to himself: "Except for the Saint, anyone else is also possible. It seems that I can choose someone to try..."

Xia Chichi muttered, "Your Excellency mentioned the Winged Fire Snake before. Is it new? I remember we have a vacancy for the Winged Fire Snake."

"Yes, new here, how do you feel?"

"What does she look like? I think we can let her try." Xia Chichi said: "Since she is a snake, I think she is quite coquettish, so I will give it to a newcomer for free... Ouch..."

Xia Chichi didn't know why he was being beaten again. This proposal had already wronged him. He would have to prepare to tear up a new little bitch in the future, and he was the one who proposed it...

Even this got him beaten, the Venerable is really moody.

… … Xia Chichi was being beaten. In another corner of the city, Cui Yuanyang was leaning happily in Zhao Changhe's arms. The two of them were sitting in the yard admiring the flowers.

Such little intimacy used to happen frequently by the river at Cui's horse farm. Cui Yuanyang always felt very comfortable leaning in Zhao Changhe's arms. The large human chair allowed him to nestle in it. No expensive recliner could be so tailor-made.

This means that Brother Zhao’s arms were created by God for Yangyang to lie in.

It was a pity that Brother Zhao was in a hurry at that time, and wanted to run away after learning horse riding. But this time when we met, Brother Zhao seemed to have changed a little, becoming a little more silent and talking less, but he didn't make people feel like he wanted to leave, and he was more gentle and calm.

Girls are really sensitive about this kind of thing.

"Brother Zhao." Cui Yuanyang nestled in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you talking much? Is it because you just met Sister Xia?"

"Uh." Zhao Changhe woke up from his distraction.

This time it wasn't really because I met Chi Chi. Chi Chi herself kept saying to let go of the dam, and if I kept on worrying about it, Chi Chi would think I was being pretentious.

After going to Jiangnan, I almost openly pursued Yue Hongling, and also had feelings for Tang Wanzhuang. Although I didn’t say it out loud, I should know that it was no longer just talk... The innocent Zhao Changhe is long gone, he has become a scumbag, and even when I hug Yangyang, I don’t feel awkward anymore, instead I feel happy that the little girl hasn’t forgotten me...

The real reason for his silence was Yangyang himself. He had always thought that Yangyang was just being touched for a moment, and that it was not true love, but this time, the love was still strong, and even more intense because of the long-awaited reunion, which touched him deeply.

Where can I find such a nice girl

"Yangyang, you haven't changed at all. I can't help but feel a little strange when I first saw you. Don't you feel strange when you see me? My appearance and temperament are different now."

"A little bit." Cui Yuanyang smiled. "The main reason is that his hair used to be neither long nor short, messy and flying like a lion. Now it's much longer, tied up and looks elegant. I almost didn't recognize him at first glance. But soon I felt that this was the Zhao Changhe in Yuanyang's mind. He was never a real gangster. Especially..."

She paused and whispered, "Especially in front of Suzaku, he held me in his arms. At that time, I felt... all the anxiety I had felt in the past few months disappeared. That was the reunion I had been looking forward to the most. I was happier than I expected."

Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "How many reunion scenes are you looking forward to?"

"I told you not to laugh at me."

"I have received professional training. No matter how funny it is, I promise not to laugh."

"Then I said it." Cui Yuanyang said hesitantly, "Didn't the Wang family want to test Qianlong? I was thinking, they challenged you, I kicked the door open from outside, and said, who wants to challenge me, Brother Zhao? Beat me, Cui Yuanyang first! Then Brother Zhao looked back and saw the heroic Yangyang, his eyes were amazed, ah, is that the Yangyang I haven't seen for a long time? She is so heroic now! Then he fell in love with her."

“Pfft…” It would have been fine without the last sentence, it could have been considered an appearance in a girl’s YY. The last sentence almost made Zhao Changhe burst out laughing: “No wonder your brother said that you didn’t admire Master Tang’s temperament at all. It turns out that you wanted to learn from Yue Hongling.”

"I told you not to laugh!"

"Okay, I won't laugh." Zhao Changhe said like coaxing a child, "There's no need for that kind of scene. Brother Zhao has always admired Yangyang."

Cui Yuanyang whispered: "But... I know that in Brother Zhao's heart... the one he truly loves is Yue Hongling..."

Zhao Changhe was stunned and couldn't laugh anymore.

He lowered his head and looked at the girl's flushed face. The girl also looked up at him with a complex light in her eyes: "Otherwise, why does Brother Zhao always look like he is holding his own sister when he holds Yangyang... In Brother Zhao's heart, he has never regarded Yangyang as a woman..."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and suddenly whispered, "Little girl, do you know what I was worried about a few days ago?"

"Huh?" Cui Yuanyang blinked, confused.

"I regret not stamping it in advance." Zhao Changhe slowly lowered his head and leaned forward: "Little girl, you haven't changed, but I have become bad... At that time, I was afraid that you would regret it because you were young and ignorant. Now I just want to take advantage of your young age and let you never have the chance to regret it."

Cui Yuanyang's heart skipped a beat.

But her mind suddenly went blank, and she watched helplessly as he carried her horizontally, lowered his head, and kissed her tender lips fiercely.

Cui Yuanyang subconsciously grabbed his arm, his eyes still wide open, completely unaware of what he was thinking.
