Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 58: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (18)

Xiao Jiangran subconsciously looked at Shen Jin.

Shen Jin blinked and hugged his waist innocently, looking as if she knew nothing.

Forget it, forgive this little liar.

In fact, Xiao Jiangran was in a good mood when he heard Gongsun Ye say that Shen Jin was looking for him.

Although he knew that this was the unanimous answer after some kind of transaction between the two, he was still delighted by such a simple sentence.

Just like Shen Jin was also looking forward to seeing him.

Xiao Jiangran took the person off his back and squatted down to her eye level: "When are you planning to leave?"

Shen Jin frowned, feeling suffocated. It seemed Xiao Jiangran was still angry. She had just arrived, and he was asking when she left.

"If it's not urgent, can you stay with me for a few days?"

Xiao Jiangran covered his chest and bent his waist slightly.

"Are you not feeling well?" Shen Jin didn't care about the suffocation and reached out to help.

"I just climbed over the wall and sprained my ankle."

"Then I'll help you."

Gongsun Ye behind him: Why are you covering your chest after spraining your ankle? Also, is there really no one to take care of this important witness?

That brother’s leg pain was fake, but the pain in my hands and legs as an old man is real!

Are you really not going to look back at me?

Or I leave?

Just as the thought of leaving flashed through Gongsun Ye's mind, he keenly sensed a fatal gaze.

It was as if he could be thrown into a frying pan and fried.

The leg that had already turned in other directions was silently retracted.

Shen Jincai nodded imperceptibly and removed his warning gaze.

What a... monster.

Gongsun Ye thought about it and followed the two men obediently.

……

Shen Jin stayed with Xiao Jiangran for ten days.

However, he has been very busy these ten days, and working all night is a common practice.

Could it be that when he is working, he likes to watch other people slacking off and wasting time?

Shen Jin looked at the sketchbook and snacks on the table with some confusion. The protagonist's work habits were really peculiar, at least she couldn't do it herself.

If she was extremely busy and someone in the same room was inconsiderate and didn't pay attention to her work, she would punch that person away.

"Why don't you read it? Don't you like the story?"

In the midst of his busy schedule, Xiao Jiangran raised his head and asked.

"No, I'm a little tired from reading." Shen Jin shook his head: "Can you go out for a walk with me?"

This person clearly stays up late and works hard, yet she still has so much energy that she can even find time to check her reading progress.

The protagonist is so terrifying.

……

Xiao Jiangran had been frowning all day, and only when he was with Shen Jin did his brows relax slightly.

"Tell me, what would you do if you knew something you shouldn't know?"

He looked at Shen Jin.

Shen Jin answered quickly: "Then I will pretend I don't know."

She guessed what Xiao Jiangran wanted to say, something related to the royal family.

"But, keeping it a secret seems to go against my true intentions."

Xiao Jiangran frowned again and added the word "original intention" uncertainly.

He was a frivolous young man, always believing that he must eradicate all evil. As an inspector, he always kept in mind the principle that "the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people."

However, now that it really involves the emperor, he hesitated.

Is he timid? Is he confused?

Xiao Jiangran didn't know.

Reason and emotion told him that even if he presented the evidence to the emperor, he would be the first to die. Therefore, hiding, concealing, and waiting for the right opportunity was the absolutely correct thing to do.

But there was an inexplicable voice in his head that was bewitching him. It said, "Look, this is Xiao Jiangran, who claims to be fair. He really thinks he is not afraid of power. It turns out that the power he encountered is not strong enough."

"If I were you, even if I died, I would still hand over this evidence and let the world see my unwavering pride!"

"If a prince doesn't dare to take action, won't he have to walk on his knees and not even dare to raise his head when he meets other royal relatives in the future?"

……

Xiao Jiangran never thought of himself as a purely good person, even his friends would scold him for being too calculating.

But could this extremely stupid idea in his mind really come from his heart?

"who are you?"

"Haha, I am you, the cowardly, incompetent, and arrogant Xiao Jiangran."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Xiao Jiangran suppressed the inexplicable palpitations in his heart. No matter where the voice came from, he needed to start a conversation as two people.

"Then let me ask you, why do I investigate corrupt officials? Is it just to see the consequences of karma? Don't the people involved end up crying bitterly?"

"no!"

"What I want to see is those who have been oppressed by them raising their heads again; I want to see them regain the ability to live."

"Let me ask you, the Third Prince is stockpiling troops and starting a war. Now, whose rights have been violated?"

……

"Emperor! His existence makes the country unstable. If he forces the emperor to abdicate, there will be bloodshed." The voice replied.

"Ridiculous. Has there ever been a change of imperial power without bloodshed? According to you, Prince Ping should have stayed in the palace, stood firm, and waited for his brothers to take his head."

"Until it is confirmed that the Third Prince has indeed committed atrocities, I will help him keep this secret."

“This is my true heart.”

If King Ping was tyrannical and unjust, then this evidence would be the best evidence to attack him.

Shen Jin noticed his distraction and couldn't help but worry: "How can there be so many people who act according to their conscience in this world?"

"It's just a selfish desire to be loyal to oneself."

Xiao Jiangran asked himself these questions in his mind, and an indescribable tiredness surged into his heart.

He imitated Shen Jin's favorite posture, lying on the table, and tilted his head slightly: "What about you? What selfish thoughts do you have?"

Does it count if I stay by your side longer to collect energy?

Shen Jin thought of this almost subconsciously, but she certainly couldn't say it. In addition, her mission in this world did not allow her to have too much contact with Xiao Jiangran.

She is doing this now and adding drama to herself, which seems to be following her heart.

Shen Jin shook his head: "No."

But Xiao Jiangran had already noticed her momentary silence and thought, as well as the instantaneous relaxation of her eyebrows.

Your nails left marks on the palm of your hand. What did you think of? So... grateful?

"What about you? What do you like?"

Shen Jin had asked several times, but Xiao Jiangran had always brushed it off. Now that the situation was right, she planned to ask again.

Xiao Jiangran: "Why do you keep asking me this question?"

Because I made you angry, I want to give you some gifts to make us closer.

But, could Shen Jin say this so humbly?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

So, Shen Jin said, "I was thinking, you know what kind of food I like to eat and what kind of picture books I like to read, but I don't know what you like. This is not fair. I thought we were friends."

But you like all picture books. It doesn't matter the drawing technique or the story, you can still finish reading it with a smile even if the whole book only contains one circle.

You love all food. Regardless of the ingredients or cooking method, you always finish what you can eat with a smile, and you never ask for second helpings.

Every object and every matter retains the same level of liking.

You said you like it, which is fair enough.

I have no idea what you would prefer.

This also includes me, who seems to have been treated preferentially.
