Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 880 Just disappointed
The man who murmured was a little younger than his peers, but he was only half a boy. He had been well protected since childhood. Even though he had been idle these years, his nature was pure and sincere. He thought that most people in the world were like this.

At least, those he communicates with sincerely will communicate with him sincerely.

For example, Ning Xiuyuan, Ji Wuyan, for example, cousin Li Yiwei who is more affectionate than them. Even though his cousin's words and deeds have become increasingly confusing over the past few days, Bai Xing has not doubted his goodwill toward himself and the Bai family.

"He and Li Yuqi are different... I have always believed this." He drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, then went to retrieve the wine jar on the ground, pouring the wine while smiling vaguely, "But when I stand When I heard the sound coming from the rockery outside, I knew at that moment that there was nothing different. "

"They are all the same. If there is a difference, maybe he is more tolerant, but because of his constant forbearance over the years, he is crazier, more patient, and more calculating than Li Yuqi. Like they are both snakes, he must be the one that lurks longer and is more poisonous and more deadly.”

These words were spoken in a low voice, and between each word, the sound of teeth grinding against teeth could be faintly heard.

The former confidants, the friends who could drink together and watch the stars, the close friends and relatives who could talk to each other, suddenly showed themselves a face that they had never seen before. Although Ji Wuyan could not empathize with him, she also knew that it was not pleasant. She listened quietly. After seeing that he seemed to have calmed down a lot, she asked, "What did you hear behind the rockery?"

Bai Xing shook his head. He didn't hear anything, or in other words, he heard it, but because he was too shocked, the words didn't enter his ears at all, so that he couldn't remember what they were talking about even after thinking about it repeatedly.

"I heard that sound. It was unpleasant, hoarse, like the sound of two dull knives pulling and rubbing against each other..." He slowly raised his head from the wine glass and looked at Ji Wuyan, his eyes were painful but magnanimous. That was the magnanimity that only belonged to Bai Xing, "You know, that voice is the voice of the black-robed man you have been looking for, who you think belongs to Dong Palace."

Before today, Ji Wuyan would have been stunned. Only today, she had already guessed a little bit in her mind. Now her guess was confirmed. There was not much surprise. She just nodded and said, "I guessed a little bit."

Bai Xing stood up suddenly!

"You know?! Do you know that the man in black robe is his cousin, not Li Yiwei's? Then all these messy things are caused by that kid Li Yiwei?" His voice suddenly rose, and then he lowered his voice as he looked around. He leaned over and asked Ji Wuyan, "Then why didn't you tell me? Are you still here to be bullied by him?"

Ji Wuyan became much calmer, pulled his arm and sat down, then said, "I just guessed it didn't take long, not to mention there is no real evidence. Is this why you ran away from home?" There was a narrow smile in his eyes, as if watching with a child having a tantrum.

The other person was obviously younger than him... Bai Xing touched his nose, but the corners of his mouth were still downturned. After a long while, he said softly, "It's not like running away from home. Ji Wuyan, I think you should be able to understand how I feel. I just believed in it before." Suddenly, it seemed like a scam. What I cared about before now seemed like a joke. It wasn’t just Ciao, not just Li Yiwei. Everyone seemed to have something more important than their loved ones. When weighing the pros and cons, the human feelings became much weaker. . I don’t like this place, I just want to go out for a walk..."

Ji Wuyan noticed that the boy, with his lips pursed, stubbornly suppressed every word of "cousin" that came out of his mouth, and replaced it with a full name, as if this would clear up the relationship and sever the friendship. Stubborn, innocent, and cute.

This is indeed a young man who is not suitable for Yanjing City.

It’s also nice to go out for a walk. Ji Wuyan touched his wine glass and raised his eyes to look at him. His dark pupils were as clean as fine glass. "Are you going for a walk or going to hide?" she asked him.

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth, but no words came out. The other party's eyes were sharper than ever before, as if he could see right through him. Under such eyes, he couldn't tell a single word of lies. It was just whether he should walk away or hide, even he He doesn't even know... He just feels disappointed with Yanjing City and the people here.

Li Yiwei is like this, and so is his father. When dynasties change, everyone's desires seem to be infinitely magnified. Everyone is very impetuous, so impetuous that they can no longer suppress the real greed underneath their skin. Then, he discovered that everyone is the same, pursuing fame, wealth and power at all costs.

"Just...disappointed." He said. When he calmed down, he felt that he could understand it, but he was still disappointed.

Ji Wuyan nodded and asked, "It's like...the faith in my heart suddenly collapsed?"

Faith? Bai Xing was stunned for a long time, then nodded hesitantly. Although he always calls him an old man, his father is indeed the god he looks up to in his heart. He also admires his cousins ​​very much and feels that they are all people who can do things well, unlike him...

"The collapse of faith is not a bad thing. They are humans, not gods. Human beings always have emotions and desires, closeness and distance, and choices after weighing the pros and cons. Blood relatives cannot be cut off by changing their names. No matter how they use their methods, they will always be the same. Your cousin." Ji Wuyan stood up and poured the wine, then said, "But I won't stop you. It's really good to go out and see the vastness of the world, the vastness of the mountains and rivers, and the various aspects of life. Look at the real pain and suffering, and also look at the joys and sorrows after being away from wealth and power. Maybe then you will know your choice. "

Bai Xing was a little surprised, "I thought you were here to act as a lobbyist for my grandmother to persuade me to stay." My grandmother must have thought so too.

"The old lady is getting older, and she feels that her life is less and less. If you go away for three to five years, how many times will she see you?" Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed, "It's just...whose life is not that good?" What's one day less? If you're not happy here, you shouldn't waste time here... It's not bad to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to have a drink and bask in the sun when the weather is sunny. , maybe you go out for a walk, the noble young master can't bear the hardships of the people, but after three or five months, he comes back in a miserable state, and from then on he never has the thought of going out, wouldn't everyone be happy? "

As he spoke, he said with a smile on his brow, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? You are also stupid. You said it would be three to five years. When the old lady heard this, she couldn't see her precious grandson for three to five years. How could she allow you? On weekdays. Where’s the cleverness in it?”
