When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

this problem.

Lin Lezhi had asked himself this question countless times in the darkness without seeing the sun.

but……

But I still can't find the answer.

To escape.

In the end, he chose to rely on alcohol to numb himself, just to cut off his connection with the world and make himself feel more relaxed.

choose……

Forget Ji Hang.

although.

He knows...

I have never really forgotten it.

Just like he knew very well that Guan Ziheng was not Ji Hang, but he still regarded Guan Ziheng as an opportunity given to him by God.

A chance for him to make amends for the past.

As he thought about this, Lin Lezhi's vision suddenly became blurred, and the surroundings seemed to be spinning. He felt an unbearable dull pain in his chest, and even breathing became very difficult.

Almost suffocating.

"Lin Lezhi!"

Sudden.

A gritting shout mixed with anger exploded in Lin Lezhi's ears, briefly shaking Lin Lezhi out of his grief and letting him breathe again.

Before he could react, a great force came from his shoulder, pulling Lin Lezhi away from the edge of the cliff and turning his body around.

Next, Xiao Yihuo's slightly angry face came into view.

"Isn't he your best friend, a close friend you've known since you first met! If you really understand him, consider him a close friend, and firmly believe that he has nothing to do with this case, you should cheer up and investigate the case and clear his name, instead of letting him die with suspicion!"

Xiao Yihuo was obviously very angry, but he still deliberately suppressed his anger and voice, making it loud enough for only the two of them to hear.

Seeing Xiao Yihuo's expression for the first time, Lin Lezhi couldn't help but be stunned.

In the past, Xiao Yihuo never showed his emotions easily, and he had never been truly angry. At most, he felt helpless and disgusted with some of his own nonsensical behaviors, or he was sarcastic and mocking with ulterior motives.

From the anger in Xiao Yihuo's eyes, Lin Lezhi could tell that he was really angry this time.

"hiss…"

The two men stood facing each other in silence for a long while. Lin Lezhi's bloodless face frowned slightly, and then he let out a breath of cold air.

The hand that Xiao Yihuo had placed on Lin Lezhi's left shoulder froze for a moment, and then he let go of Lin Lezhi's shoulder. Xiao Yihuo looked away and said, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yihuo was so angry just now that he forgot that Lin Lezhi had an injury on his left shoulder and unconsciously used a lot of strength.

Although it was painful, the pain from his shoulder was just enough to keep Lin Lezhi awake and allowed him to breathe again.

It hurts so much.

He actually asked Xiao Yi how he felt after losing something and then regaining it...

He was just busy complaining about himself, but forgot that Xiao Yihuo had lost the most important people to him twice: his biological mother Concubine Xin and his best friend Nan Rongyi, both of whom died innocently.

Every word he said was like a stab in Xiao Yihuo's heart, opening up his pain once again.

Of course Xiao Yihuo would be angry.

Even if he rushed up and beat me up, it was because I said the wrong thing and I deserved it.

Lin Lezhi felt mixed emotions, a little helpless and embarrassed. He scratched his face a few times with his fingers, looked away as well, and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect... that when you get angry, you can be... quite serious..."

Without waiting for Xiao Yihuo to speak, Lin Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with all his strength: "Actually... I should be the one to say sorry."

Lin Lezhi felt sorry from the bottom of his heart.

There was a pause.

Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo with gratitude and determination in his eyes and said, "Thank you for scolding me to wake me up. You are right. Now is not the time to be depressed. What I should do is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and clear Ziheng's name."

If Xiao Yihuo hadn’t scolded me in time.

I am afraid……

He's going to make the wrong choice again.

"It's still early for the fog to dissipate. Let's stop standing here and come sit for a while."

Lin Lezhi sat down at the side, and then motioned Xiao Yihuo to sit down and rest for a while. Seeing that Xiao Yihuo had no intention of moving, Lin Lezhi added: "The clothes you are wearing now are mine, so don't worry about getting them dirty. And I just checked, there are no cockleburs around here."

Although Lin Lezhi tried his best to make his tone sound more relaxed, his fingers that were clenched until white at the joints and his slightly trembling hands still betrayed his true feelings at the moment.

Xiao Yihuo stared at the white joints of Lin Lezhi with his eyes slightly darker, and then, as Lin Lezhi said, he sat down next to Lin Lezhi.

After the two sat down, they stopped talking and the surroundings became quiet again.

It was so quiet that we could hear each other's breathing.

Noticing that Lin Lezhi's eyes were becoming increasingly silent as he stared at the thick fog, his hands on his legs unconsciously clenched tighter, his breathing became increasingly short, and he himself seemed to be unaware of it, Xiao Yihuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes also became a little silent.

immediately.

Without saying hello, Xiao Yihuo grabbed Lin Lezhi's wrist and pulled Lin Lezhi to face him.

At the same time, the other hand reached towards Lin Lezhi's waist.

Seeing this, a different emotion finally appeared in Lin Lezhi's silent and dull eyes.

Xiao Yihuo held on too tightly and couldn't dodge. Lin Lezhi was left with a look of panic on his face. He said in panic: "You...what are you going to do!"

Xiao Yihuo did not explain. Instead, he curled up his lips into a wicked smile and untied Lin Lezhi's belt.

The moment the belt was untied, the clothes that were folded on Lin Lezhi's chest came apart, revealing the smooth and firm skin underneath. His chest rose and fell due to his strong and uneasy breathing.

After untying Lin Lezhi's belt, he kept holding Lin Lezhi's wrist and pressed towards Lin Lezhi.

Suddenly.

Not knowing where Lin Lezhi had thrown it, a setting that he didn't want to recall, and even less want to come true, once again sounded the alarm in Lin Lezhi's mind.

Lin Lezhi didn't dare to look Xiao Yihuo in the eye. The hand that was not restrained was waving wildly in front of him. His movements and expression were full of resistance. He refused and said, "Although the setting I wrote is good, I really don't like this."

Lin Lezhi's nonsense successfully stopped Xiao Yihuo.

"What are you talking about, what's the setting?"

set up……

It’s over.

My brain short-circuited for a moment and I blurted out words that were not suitable for this era.

"Setting...setting is...that...that..."

Lin Lezhi’s mind was spinning frantically.

"Stop talking nonsense and be quiet."

While Lin Lezhi was frantically thinking about how to explain, his clothes were pulled off his shoulders by Xiao Yihuo. The coldness that came over him made Lin Lezhi's shoulders shrink uncontrollably.

"do not want!"

"You don't want your shoulder anymore?"

Ok?

Lin Lezhi's brain suddenly froze for a moment, then he opened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yihuo, only to find that Xiao Yihuo was holding a bottle of ointment in his hand.

Lin Lezhi then realized that Xiao Yihuo wanted to apply medicine to him.

Just got closer.

Just to pull the ointment out from his sleeve.

after all.

Xiao Yihuo gave his clothes to himself, and all of Xiao Yihuo's belongings were on himself.

Knowing that he was overthinking, Lin Lezhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was visibly relaxed. Then, with confusion in his eyes, he said with a bit of complaint and fear in his tone: "If you want to apply medicine to me, just say so directly. Why did you come over so suddenly? Do you know how scary it is?"

When Xiao Yihuo heard Lin Lezhi say that he was scary, his eyes froze slightly.

Then, Xiao Yihuo let go of Lin Lezhi's hand and lowered his head to take medicine from the medicine jar.

Avoiding talking about the scary thing Lin Lezhi said, he lowered his head and explained expressionlessly: "I just don't want to see you sinking into self-blame. I didn't mean to be angry when I yelled at you just now. Didn't you say that we should walk hand in hand in the future? I just fulfilled my duty as an ally, that's all."

In response to Xiao Yihuo's answer, Lin Lezhi widened his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Obviously.

This was a response he had never thought of or expected.

There was a slight twinkle in Lin Lezhi's eyes, revealing a little starlight.

original.

All of Xiao Yihuo's seemingly reckless actions were intentional.

In order to prevent himself from being trapped in self-blame and regret, he used this rash and impolite method to pull himself out of the painful emotions.

Just like...

When a person keeps hiccuping.

Sudden.

Someone starts you off with a practical joke without warning.

嗝…

Then it stopped.
