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

All kinds of questions that Xiao Yihuo might ask flashed through Lin Lezhi's mind.

How come she found out that he couldn't drink much, so she got him drunk and then left without saying a word.

What about the book "I'm Rich and I Just Want to Farm", was the prototype based on him?

Even what I want to eat after leaving here, or whether I will remember the bloody plot of Nan Rongyi's memory, are flying through my mind.

I didn't expect Xiao Yihuo would come back and ask this.

This……

It’s better to ask about some melodramatic plots.

Why do you ask this?

Lin Lezhi looked somewhat embarrassed. After his brain raced, he made up a story with a helpless look on his face: "Setting means design and plot?"

"A plan?"

"Yes, it is a planned plan."

Fearing that Xiao Yihuo would think too deeply and find out that he was deceiving him, Lin Lezhi quickly took over the conversation and then made up an impromptu story: "To design and plot means that to do anything, you must first make a thorough and strict plan, and then use strategy to determine the outcome. In short, it is a setting."

Xiao Yihuo pondered for a moment about what Lin Lezhi said, but the look in his eyes clearly showed that he did not fully believe Lin Lezhi's words. Then he nodded slowly and said, "That makes sense."

"Then..."

"But why did you say you wrote it?"

Xiao Yihuo once again looked at Lin Lezhi seriously with an inquiring look in his eyes and asked, with an expression of humility as if he was seeking advice, and he swallowed back the word "of course" that Lin Lezhi was about to say.

what?

Did he just say that?

Ok…

It seems that he did say that.

Although Lin Lezhi wanted to have selective amnesia, what he said in a hurry without thinking would definitely not pass muster with Xiao Yihuo if he did not have a reasonable explanation.

"Oops, I didn't express myself clearly."

As he spoke, Lin Lezhi came forward, put his arm around Xiao Yihuo's shoulders as if they were good friends, and wanted to explain everything to Xiao Yihuo.

The moment he was about to embrace him, he saw the scratches on Xiao Yihuo's back, and realized that his clothes were not pulled back yet, so he was naked and had nowhere to put his hands, so he immediately pulled his hands away.

but……

Now that we are close, it is not easy to retreat.

Because of this action, Lin Lezhi's already loose collar opened even wider.

Unable to do anything, Lin Lezhi had no choice but to rest his outstretched hand on the grass behind Xiao Yihuo, and said in a casual and unembarrassed manner as much as possible: "I mean, I wrote this word especially for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo was slightly stunned. The inquiring look in his eyes diminished a little, and was replaced by surprise.

"Written specially for me?"

Xiao Yihuo asked with an expression of disbelief. When he said the word "especially", his tone became noticeably heavier, with a faint light in his eyes.

Lin Lezhi was busy thinking of how to make up a story, so he naturally didn't notice the change in Xiao Yihuo's expression. He just kept making up stories and said in a flattering tone, "Yes, I've been thinking about what words to use to describe you. Then one night, I had a flash of inspiration. Someone like you is as smart as a fox, thoughtful and strategic."

Lin Lezhi groaned twice, as if praising himself for coming up with such a brilliant word, and nodded in agreement, "Design and plot, the word 'setting' really suits you best."

After finishing his nonsense, Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo, observing the subtle changes on Xiao Yihuo's face. He was nervous and said with a stiff upper lip: "I said later that I am not good at this because I feel ashamed of myself in this aspect. I know I can't get on with it. I am not as good as you in this aspect, but I don't want to admit that I am not as good as you. I said that for the sake of face."

Afraid that Xiao Yihuo would hold on to the second half of the sentence, Lin Lezhi simply made up the second half of the sentence as well.

Just ...

I don’t know if I can get past Xiao Yihuo.

Seeing that Xiao Yihuo had not responded yet, Lin Lezhi felt something was wrong. He looked flustered and complained and disdainful. He simply threw the blame on Xiao Yihuo and said, "I wanted to praise you and was just thinking about the words, but you suddenly came over without saying a word, looking like you wanted to eat me. Who wouldn't be shocked? I even messed up my words."

Seeing Lin Lezhi racking his brains and trying his best to explain in a panic, Xiao Yihuo lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "You came up with this word, are you sure you are praising me, not insulting me in some way?"

"That's for sure. I mean it with all my heart."

Lin Lezhi affirmed it with a guilty conscience.

Seeing that Xiao Yihuo had a slight smile on his face, as if he was satisfied with his explanation and didn't intend to pursue it further, Lin Lezhi rolled his eyes to the side and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart, which had been beating hard in his chest, finally settled down a lot.

In the past, when dealing with Xiao Yihuo, he was always able to handle it with a relatively relaxed attitude. But today, he felt extremely guilty and almost lost his soul.

really.

You still have to be more careful in front of Xiao Yihuo.

Xiao Yihuo is not as easy to fool as Yun He.

Lin Lezhi finally felt relieved and felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw that his collar was half open.

Lin Lezhi calmly withdrew his hands that were supporting Xiao Yihuo's back, distanced himself from him, and straightened his collar.

While tidying up, he did not forget to soothe his frightened heart with his hands.

While Lin Lezhi was tidying up his clothes, Xiao Yihuo also straightened his clothes. When he was adjusting the belt around his waist, a touch of red appeared in front of his eyes.

Xiao Yihuo looked carefully and saw that it was a peace knot.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yihuo continued his actions, first looking at the peace knot still hanging on Lin Lezhi's waist, and then looked at the peace knot that was shaking slightly in Lin Lezhi's hand.

Lin Lezhi smiled and said, "I put it away before because I was afraid it would get dirty or lost. I just remembered when I was sorting out my clothes that the one on your belt is hard to remove, so I'll give you mine."

"No need, just give it back to me when you return my clothes."

Xiao Yihuo lowered his head as he spoke, tightening the end of the belt with both hands and preparing to tie it.

But never thought about it.

Lin Lezhi suddenly came forward without saying hello, quickly passed the safety knot in his hand through the end of the belt on one side, and then pulled the belt in Xiao Yihuo's hand and helped Xiao Yihuo tie it tightly.

Before Xiao Yihuo could react, Lin Lezhi said, "Tie it. The peace knot means praying for peace. We must return safely."

Lin Lezhi lowered his head, and Xiao Yihuo could not see the expression on Lin Lezhi's face, and his voice was very soft.

The voice was soft, but full of seriousness, and at the same time revealed a sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Xiao Yihuo looked down at Lin Lezhi, the red string tied to the plum blossom hairpin in his hair swaying gently with his movements.

Looking at the swaying red, Xiao Yihuo's eyes darkened slightly, revealing emotions of sadness and worry, and there was also a hint of heartache that he himself did not even notice.

He understood why Lin Lezhi was so stubborn at this moment.

Based on the time he had spent with Lin Lezhi and his understanding of him, he knew that Lin Lezhi did not believe in ghosts and gods, and that he wore the peace knot with him and accepted the plum blossom hairpin because he did not want to let down other people's kindness towards him.

Because he wanted to treat the kindness given by others well, he was reluctant to throw away the dirty peace knot. He took out the red string that was not stained by mud and wrapped it around the hollow part of the wooden hairpin.

perhaps……

at this point.

Lin Lezhi hoped in his heart that this peace knot could really play some role.

Even the slightest bit.

Yeah.

Therefore, Xiao Yihuo did not refuse anymore and let Lin Lezhi do whatever he wanted.

"All right."

After tying Xiao Yihuo's belt, Lin Lezhi's fingers gently fiddled with the peace knot, and the peace knot swayed slightly a few times.

Looking at the swaying peace knot, Lin Lezhi smiled as if he had accomplished something satisfying, and then he withdrew his hand.

However, when he pulled his hand halfway back, he suddenly stopped.

Since Xiao Yihuo was watching Lin Lezhi's every move, when Lin Lezhi paused, he immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Lin Lezhi returned to his original position and showed Xiao Yihuo the palm of his hand that had just been supported on the ground.

Apart from the indentations from the surrounding weeds and the scratches left previously, there was a very clear but short vertical indentation on the palm.

"Nothing, I just accidentally stepped on a branch."

Xiao Yihuo took a closer look at the shape on his palm, then his eyes fell on a certain part of Lin Lezhi's body. He then reached out and picked up something from the hem of Lin Lezhi's clothes, held it in front of the two of them and said, "It's not a branch, it's the main vein of half a leaf."

Lin Lezhi compared the shape on his palm with the shape of the leaf veins, and it was indeed the shape left by this half of the main vein.

"It really is."

As Lin Lezhi spoke, he took the half of the main vein from Xiao Yihuo's hand.

I guess I accidentally pressed it on my palm when I supported my hand on the grass, and then it fell from my palm and onto my body when I was tidying up my clothes.

Lin Lezhi gently turned the half of the main vein with his fingers, stared at it for a moment, and then held it in front of Xiao Yihuo, with a bit of thought and curiosity in his eyes, he said: "Xiao Xu, do you think... this main vein is a little strange?"
