Did you mean this at first? I looked at Wen Jiubai dumbfounded.
"Ah, yes, of course I can't bear it." I said deliberately, "After all, I came all the way here, and I don't know when the next meeting will be."
Wen Jiubai's expression became even uglier, he stared at me with an angry childlike expression.
"Do you really think so?"
I looked at his expression and thought it was more fun, so I dragged out my voice, "Of course."
Wen Jiubai frowned even tighter, and then unexpectedly, he grabbed my arm suddenly, and I just staggered a few steps and fell into his arms.
Those obsidian-like dark eyes dangled in front of my eyes.
"What about me? You haven't seen me for three days, don't you think about me at all?"
I froze for a moment, and said stupidly: "Yes, when the incident couldn't be resolved, I kept thinking that it would be great if you came here..."
Having said that, my words stopped abruptly, and I looked at Wen Jiubai in surprise.
I seem to have found something.
"Wait, Wen Jiubai." I pushed Wen Jiubai's chest away and looked at him amusedly, "Are you...jealous?"
Wen Jiubai's eyes immediately changed, and he turned his head away.
"No."
Instead, I leaned closer, "Are you just jealous?"
"I said no." Wen Jiubai folded his arms and looked at me vigilantly, "Why would I want to be jealous of that kind of person, there's no need at all!"
"Still stubborn. Obviously there is."
"No."
Even if I asked him this in front of him for a whole day, the arrogant Wen Jiubai probably wouldn't admit it. So I restrained my expression and looked at him seriously.
"Zhuxuan is just a friend."
Wen Jiubai looked at me angrily, "Whoever asked you to explain, said that I'm not jealous, I just simply hate that guy."
"I only like you alone."
Wen Jiubai seemed to be at a loss for this kind of straightforward confession, and his eyes, which were always planning strategies at all times, shone with uncertain light at this moment.
He looked at me sullenly, "Gu Yu! When is it your turn to tease me?"
I knew I shouldn't, but I laughed out loud anyway. Wen Jiubai's contrasting appearance is really cute, and this can be regarded as revenge for his molesting me.
However, although I had an attitude of teasing him, what I said was sincere.
Wen Jiubai always has an indelible charm.
At first, I was attracted by the mystery of him, and I jumped out of the boring circle of "daily life" without hesitation, and followed him into another mysterious world.
Later, I was attracted by his strength, and the kind of demeanor that can be confident at any time made me gradually fascinated by his side.
And now, even if I know his real identity is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and those past that may be despised by others, I can't reduce my fascination with him.
Even though I still don't know why Wen Jiubai had a persistent feeling for me from the beginning, I can clearly feel that the Wen Jiubai now is different from the Wen Jiubai when we met.
In the past, even he often poured out love words to me, but those words always give people the illusion of being wrapped in a hypocritical shell. It was as if he was deliberately teasing me like this for a certain purpose. But Wen Jiubai just now, that kind of childlike awkwardness and jealousy, and the arrogance that he refused to admit after being exposed, is probably his true heart.
Does this mean... Wen Jiubai is finally able to open up to me after a long time with me
Emotion is a wonderful thing. I used to think that I was an indifferent and ascetic person, neither interested in interpersonal relationships nor in love. Whether male or female, I keep just the right distance.
I even thought that because of my family, I might never be able to love anyone.
And at this moment, Wen Jiubai came into my life like a miracle.
Like a flame, like a beast, dangerous and shining.
"Why are you in a daze?"
When I came back to my senses, Wen Jiubai was looking at me strangely.
"No, it's nothing." I hurriedly prevaricated vaguely, and quickly changed the subject. Fortunately, this topic is also what I have been wanting to ask before.
"Speaking of which, you said before that you didn't go to investigate the entrustment with us in order to investigate the Taoist priest, and you also said that you have already found clues. What did you do?"
"Want to know?"
Wen Jiubai showed that fox-like sly expression I was familiar with again, and took the teacup from his lips.
I nodded. Really want to know, there's nothing to hide about this. Including when Zhuxuan and I were acting together, I was curious about his actions from time to time.
"Well, Bai and I are going to save the world." Wen Jiubai said solemnly.
Before he finished speaking, I knocked on it, "Can you stop being so unreasonable, how many times have you said it, we are discussing serious business now! Stop being so joking!"
Wen Jiubai rubbed his head, as if he felt aggrieved.
"Who says I'm joking? I'm serious, verbatim."
When Wen Jiubai showed such a determined expression, I was really a little afraid that I had misunderstood it. But for the sake of face, I still bite the bullet and refute.
"Where are you serious? I don't think the world looks like it will be destroyed now."
"However, Gu Yu, have you ever considered a question?" Wen Jiubai didn't seem to be joking at all, instead he sat up straight and asked leisurely, "Why is there always a, Or a group of villains whose purpose is always to destroy the world?"
Here we go again, this is Wen Jiubai's nonsensical question that I am familiar with. A question came out of nowhere, which seemed to have nothing to do with our previous conversation, but experience told me that he must have his intentions.
Therefore, no matter how meaningless these words seem, I have to think carefully before answering.
"There is no reason for this... If I have to say it, it is because of the needs of the plot? Because novels and the like always need a villain to highlight the heroism of the protagonist. Otherwise, if the protagonist in the story just eats and sleeps every day , No one reads such a story.”
Wen Jiubai nodded approvingly, "You are right. This is indeed a very important reason, but you are wrong about one thing. In literary works such as novels, this action is indeed exaggerated. But definitely not out of thin air.”
"Isn't it created out of nothing?" I asked inexplicably, "But I think those are only found in novels..."
"Is it only in novels?" Wen Jiubai interrupted me and asked, "In other words, do you think there are no people who want the world to be destroyed in reality?"
I shook my head blankly. Destroying the world or something is too exaggerated. If we talk about crimes such as murder and robbery, it is understandable. But as Wen Jiubai said, it must be the behavior of a lunatic who has lost his mind.
If you want to talk about why, because if the world is destroyed, then human beings will cease to exist, that is to say, the culprit himself will disappear in this world. In this way, wouldn't the culprit get no benefit at all
I repeated my point of view to Wen Jiubai.
