"Do you know where you went wrong? Just apologize!"

Ling Rizhao really didn't know what he had done wrong, but he knew that the other party was angry because of him.

It's always right to apologize first, but now it seems to be counterproductive.

Xiao Qianchuan didn't want to let his unreasonable bad emotions explode. But he tried hard, but still couldn't control it.

When he saw Wood attacking Officer Ling from afar, the feeling of powerlessness instantly made him feel suffocated.

Wood's slender whip changed its appearance in a trance before his eyes.

The scene he saw last night reappeared in his mind: the sharp mouthparts, the hole in the chest, the large pool of blood, and Officer Ling's pale, cold skin.

The images in his mind overlapped with those in front of his eyes, and the colorful red and black stimulated Xiao Qianchuan's fragile nerves.

Fortunately, it was not as quiet as last night, and the noise in his ears quickly brought him back to reality. However, the palpitation and breathlessness made him unable to calm down for a long time.

The same is true at this moment.

Xiao Qianchuan knew what he was saying, but that was not what he wanted to say. He wanted to correct it anxiously, but he was afraid that he would say something even more outrageous once he opened his mouth.

There was a circle of blood on the edge of his thumb nail, and his knuckles were shaking slightly from being bent so tightly. He was so cold.

The coldness spread from his hands and feet to his heart, Xiao Qianchuan's tongue felt numb and his teeth were chattering.

Suddenly, he felt a warmth on the back of his hand. Xiao Qianchuan looked down and saw a big hand holding a ball of cloud in his hand.

The warm smoke dissipates the bitterness and brings up a hint of sweetness.

The person next to him didn't say another word, but just led him to slowly finish a cup of tea.

As his body warmed up, Xiao Qianchuan's sluggish thinking gradually resumed functioning, and his stiff tongue was flexibly controlled again, but he only uttered one sentence in a long while.

“Don’t die.”

Ling Rizhao seemed to have gotten used to the other party's occasional incoherent remarks.

This time he didn't have to guess, he understood it.

He raised his hand and pressed his chest. It looked like he was back to normal, but in fact he could still feel the pain inside. With every breath, it reminded him.

You've already died once.

Ling Rizhao thought blankly, this can't happen again. At least I can't die in front of him again.

"it is good."

With just one simple word, Ling Rizhao made this promise.

At the moment, he was more worried about the other party. "It's best not to go to the successor ceremony tonight if you can. If you can't avoid it, I will find a way to accompany you. I have just asked Lanbo to inquire about the ceremony. You called the doctor now, is there anything you want to confirm?"

Xiao Qianchuan was not surprised by Officer Ling's sharpness. He liked communicating with smart people.

"The system has given a 50% chance. The key NPC is between Wood and Newt. Both of them are outsiders. One is an iron-blooded general who has been active on the border for many years, and the other is a well-known doctor who roams the upper class of the imperial capital. It is difficult to choose. In fact, I was more inclined to Wood before. But now..."

Xiao Qianchuan looked at Officer Ling, who was also looking at him as he completed the rest of his words.

"Right now, you're leaning more towards Newt."

"No! It's just that I hate Wood more."

Ling Rizhao felt a sudden warmth flow through his heart, although he understood that the other party must have made such a judgment after a more rational analysis.

But he couldn't help but think back to whether Xiao Qianchuan's defense of him just now proved that the other party was biased towards him.

The chilly wind was shut out of the window, leaving only a few rays of sunlight leaking in.

Neither of them spoke again. They just sat facing each other quietly, sipping tea, which was a rare feeling of comfort.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sudden knock on the door broke the beauty of the room.

Ling Rizhao slowly filled the teacup opposite him, then stood up and opened the door.
