What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Zhao Jingming saw Lin Zhuo closing his eyes and about to cover his head with the quilt, and quickly stopped him.

"Stop covering yourself."

Lin Zhuo wished he was deaf now. He never thought that such an embarrassing scene would happen to him.

He opened one eye, glanced at Zhao Jingming who was very calm, and whispered, "Can you pretend you didn't see me?"

Give him a chance and he'll turn back into a fox now.

"Why, do you little goblins have any secrets that cannot be seen by others?" Zhao Jingming held up Lin Zhuo's scattered long hair with his hands.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Zhuo opened his eyes, waved away Zhao Jingming's hand, and then patted his chest.

I'm a monster! Respect me!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingming suddenly approached him, which frightened Lin Zhuo and quickly stood up slightly and moved towards the bed.

"Will you eat me?"

Zhao Jingming stared at Lin Zhuo's face with a smile in his eyes and said while holding Lin Zhuo's wrist with both hands to prevent him from moving.

"..."

Thank you. If you say one more thing, I might kill you and silence you.

Lin Zhuo broke free from Zhao Jingming's hand with his backhand and pinched Zhao Jingming's neck: "Have you known my true identity for a long time?"

"Not really."

Who made a certain little fox change his appearance just for him to see?

"Be honest!" Lin Zhuo tried his best, but Zhao Jingming remained calm and not worried about his life at all.

"I don't know who it was that secretly went out at night."

He felt it when Lin Zhuo got up from him that night. Zhao Jingming originally just wanted to open his eyes to see how he was doing, but in the faint light he witnessed Lin Zhuo transforming from a fox into a human.

"..."

He only went out once as a human being, only to be discovered? ! He asked why Zhao Jingming was so calm!

Lin Zhuo glared at Zhao Jingming angrily again. This man found out and didn't say anything. He was really addicted to keeping pets, wasn't he?

"That will really cause trouble for you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Lin Zhuo's angry look, Zhao Jingming took Lin Zhuo's hand and put his lips on it: "Why bother? It's better to say that I am very happy."

Before, she thought that Lin Zhuo hated her and wanted to stay away from her, but she didn't expect to get a delicate and soft little fox unexpectedly.

"Do you like it very much?" He obviously never came to me on his own initiative, which was completely different from before.

"Of course, I love you." Zhao Jingming kissed his face again. From the first time he saw Lin Zhuo at the Autumn Appreciation Banquet, a strange feeling filled his heart. At that time, his heart was beating fast. Coming out of his chest, he had obviously seen Lin Zhuo before, but never felt this way.

At that time, Zhao Jingming only found it interesting and novel. After he returned, he often thought of Lin Zhuo's disguised expression at that time, and couldn't help but wonder what Lin Zhuo would look like under that expression.

Zhao Jingming also wanted to invite Lin Zhuo out for an outing to confirm his thoughts and get closer to Lin Zhuo. However, he and Lin Zhuo were not familiar with each other before, and he was worried that visiting Lin Zhuo rashly would arouse Lin Zhuo's resentment.

So when he met Lin Zhuo by chance on the boat or on the street, Zhao Jingming was very surprised, and even shamelessly thought that they were destined to be together.

Lin Zhuo's invitation to accompany him made Zhao Jingming feel like he had made a profit. Later, Lin Zhuo's behavior of secretly following him really made Zhao Jingming feel like he was seeing the moonlight through the clouds.

Does this mean that he may also have feelings for me?

Zhao Jingming's heart can be said to be very ecstatic.

His words were so straightforward that Lin Zhuo couldn't wrap his head around it for a while. He had been so timid and refused to come to him before, so Lin Zhuo almost thought that Zhao Jingming had changed his mind.

The two of them had left imprints on each other before, but when they met, they seemed to be the only ones secretly excited, which made Lin Zhuo feel very awkward.

The other party has always taken the initiative, and he only needs to passively accept it.

When the other party shows kindness, he silently accepts it and then gives the other party a reaction. He has always done this, but the other party no longer takes the initiative, which makes Lin Zhuo a little unsure about his attitude.

This was Lin Zhuo's first time dating someone, and he had always been the one being spoiled. Once the other person stopped taking the initiative, he felt at a loss and didn't know what to do. He often even wondered if it was his fault. Did you do something wrong?

Once he was entangled in this way, Lin Zhuo couldn't wait to go back to his snail shell again and stop poking his head.

"I thought..." Lin Zhuo murmured with his eyes dazed.

"Why? Why are you so unsure?"

Zhao Jingming seemed to understand what Lin Zhuo wanted to say, so he interrupted him loudly, and also made careful movements with his hands. He took Lin Zhuo's hand and pulled him into his arms.

He stroked Lin Zhuo's head gently and said in a gentle tone: "You are so kind, how could I not like you?"

Zhao Jingming opened Lin Zhuo's face, moved gently, and pressed his lips: "No matter what you look like, I will always love you."

Lin Zhuo still looked dumb, and then Zhao Jingming watched the red spread from Lin Zhuo's neck until Lin Zhuo's entire face was red.

Lin Zhuo looked panicked, his eyes evasive, and finally he covered his face with his hands.

Help! ! !

No matter how many times he heard these words, Lin Zhuo was still embarrassed. Although he felt sweet in his heart, he still felt awkward.

Zhao Jingming stretched out his hand to pull him, but he was unwilling to let go. He just covered his face and shook his head to avoid Zhao Jingming's hand.

Unable to do so, Zhao Jingming had no choice but to hold him in his arms again and stroke his back back and forth to signal him to relax.

Are you treating yourself like a fox? Still touching it like this!

After Lin Zhuo calmed down slightly, he looked up to see Zhao Jingming. He actually didn't understand what charm he had that could make this man willingly follow him through these small worlds.

Could it be that they have met before?

He secretly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jingming, only to see him staring at him seriously: "Have you calmed down?"

Lin Zhuo nodded subconsciously.

"Then can you give me an answer? Even if it's rejection, I have no complaints."

Lin Zhuo still nodded, but stretched out his hand to wrap around Zhao Jingming's neck and led him up.

He buried his head in Zhao Jingming's neck. Zhao Jingming only felt a little damp and hot there, and then heard Lin Zhuo's muffled voice: "Yes, I am willing to be with you."

In fact, it should be me thanking you, thanking you for always being willing to choose me and go to me.

......

When the two of them were communicating with each other, Li Hongrui, who had escaped, woke up leisurely on the haystack.

He opened his eyes and looked around him confusedly, confused.

Where is this place?

He only remembered being held by Zhao Jingming's secret guards, and then losing consciousness. Why did he appear here?

Li Hongrui looked carefully and found that he should be in a ruined temple.

This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time. The statues in the temple are missing half of their heads, and their faces are blurred. It is not clear which deity they are. There were spider webs everywhere and there were even several holes in the roof.

Li Hongrui came down from the haystack and when he was about to pat his clothes, he found that there were many brown marks on his body, one on top of another, with different shades.

After seeing these traces, a fishy smell rushed into Li Hongrui's nasal cavity, making him almost vomit.

Li Hongrui retched and raised his hand tremblingly to touch the brown marks.

Are these all blood?

He squatted down on the spot and clasped his head tightly with his hands. What on earth was going on? !

Gollum.

It seemed like something was rolling over.

Li Hongrui looked towards the source of the sound and saw the white lantern he was very familiar with rolling to his feet.

He immediately jumped up from where he was and left like a cat with exploded hair, and then silently moved backwards.

White lantern!

Li Hongrui thought of the strange boy in white, who became strange because he saw himself!

It was said to be life-saving, but it turned out to be useless!

Li Hongrui felt very angry when he thought of this. He clearly felt that things should not have reached this point.

He wanted to trample the lantern to pieces to vent his anger.

But before Li Hongrui could lift his feet, a pale hand picked up the white lantern, and then Li Hongrui heard a high-pitched and eerie voice.

"Master Li, are you looking for me?"

Hearing this, Li Hongrui's legs went weak and he immediately fell to the ground.

He looked at the little boy in white who appeared out of nowhere with a lantern, his body trembled, and his tone was full of disbelief: "You...where did you appear...from...?"

"Young Master Li is such a noble man who forgets things. Of course I emerged from you."

The child was grinning. His laughter sometimes sounded like the sound of rough sandpaper being rubbed, and sometimes it sounded like the sound of broken porcelain. It sounded really weird.

But Li Hongrui only cared about what he just said.

"what do you mean?!"

"Have you forgotten?" The boy in white suddenly came to Li Hongrui. The distance was so close that Li Hongrui could even count the bloodshot eyes in his eyes.

Then, he said words that made Li Hongrui feel deeply frightened.

"We have become one!"

Li Hongrui's scalp exploded immediately, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "You, are you kidding me? It's not funny, ha, ha, it's not funny at all."

"Didn't you learn my skills? Why, doesn't eating people feel wonderful?"

Li Hongrui watched the face of the boy in white changing back and forth between delicate and enchanting. Dark yellow patterns appeared on his face from time to time. When he opened his mouth to speak, Li Hongrui could clearly see the fangs in his mouth.

"What are you talking about... What I learned... is obviously..." Master Yao's technique?

Li Hongrui couldn't talk anymore. He suddenly remembered that he only noticed the exercises in the room, but no one told him that they belonged to Master Yao.

Li Hongrui looked at the boy in white in disbelief, and saw a confident smile on his face.

"Remember? What you learned belongs to me, hehe, so it's reasonable for me to receive some reward, right?"

"This is impossible! You! What do you want...?" Li Hongrui didn't believe it and moved back with his hands on the ground.

If he had known at that time that the man-eating technique belonged to the monster in front of him, he would not have touched it even if he was beaten to death!

"Why, you look scared?" The boy in white, holding a white lantern behind his back, tilted his head, with a very confused expression on his face: "I don't think you were very happy to attack Lao Yao? When you got his power, you Aren’t you happy too? Why are you scared now?”

nonsense! If I don’t kill Master Yao, I will be eaten by Master Yao. Can I be unhappy if I don’t have to die?

Li Hongrui only dared to say it in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

"It's okay, you won't be scared anymore soon."

"What, what do you mean?"

Li Hongrui was horrified, what did he mean by this!

The boy in white just squatted in front of him, with a smile no longer on his face. Instead, his face was expressionless and his tone was cold: "It doesn't matter, you will understand soon."

As he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth split open toward his ears, revealing a bloody mouth, and he swallowed Li Hongrui in one gulp.

Then his face began to change again, as if changing back and forth between three people, and finally turned into the handsome face that Li Hongrui had seen.

The boy in white closed his eyes and felt this moment carefully. Part of Master Yao's skill, Li Hongrui's luck and everything else were transferred to his body. This feeling was indescribable in words, but it was full of fulfillment.

He tried to shake hands, and then held the white lantern in his hand, and then a strange scene happened. The black runes on the lantern began to flow towards his hand, gradually covering his entire arm.

As the runes shifted, the white lantern began to turn gray and finally turned into dust and disappeared into the air.

The boy in white flexed his muscles, raised his head and laughed: "Finally, I am finally free!"

Then he kneaded the secrets with his hands, not knowing what he was calculating.

"Delicious little fox, I will eat you next. I also want great luck."

......

After handling the affairs in Yuezhou, Zhao Jingming and others prepared to return to the capital in early winter.

The new governor Xiao Qin was fully responsible for the remaining affairs of Yuezhou.

Lin Zhuo turned back into a fox and nestled in Zhao Jingming's arms. He looked at Xiao Qin who was waving to them from a distance. He didn't expect that the new governor Zhao Jingming was with him, and he was even sent out by Zhao Jingming to find out the news.

Entering winter, Lin Zhuo slept almost all day long and had very little waking time. After losing sight of the gate of Liucheng, Lin Zhuo pulled Zhao Jingming, got into his arms and continued to sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that Zhao Jingming seemed to have brought him into the palace.

He watched Zhao Jinchao holding Zhao Jingming and not letting go, insisting that Zhao Jingming help him approve the memorial, saying that he was going to find the queen. He was so busy that he hadn't seen the queen for three days, making his brother pity him.

Zhao Jingming really couldn't resist him and could only nod in agreement. Then Zhao Jinchao ignored his image as an emperor and ran away with his clothes. The eunuch manager next to him was obviously not surprised and did not try to persuade him. He just shook the whisk in his hand and followed. The emperor is gone.

Lin Zhuo strongly condemned Zhao Jinchao's behavior of trying to masturbate himself before leaving.

Lin Zhuo jumped out of Zhao Jingming's arms and transformed into a human, saying that he wanted to go home to meet his parents. Zhao Jingming kissed his face and said that he would pick him up later and let Lin Zhuo leave.

Lin Zhuo turned into a little fox and strolled out from the palace wall. When he returned to the Lin Mansion, he found that his parents were not at home.

Lin Zhuo went to find Lin Yuhe, but saw Yang Shilan in Lin Yuhe's yard. The two of them were eating snacks together.

"elder brother!"

Lin Yuhe saw Lin Zhuo first and frantically waved to Lin Zhuo to signal him to come over.

"Is it fun in the south?" Lin Yuhe asked him.

"Okay?" It's just that the north is a bit dry.

"Can you please take me with you next time?" Lin Yuhe put her face in her hands and winked at him.

Lin Zhuo found it difficult to refuse and could only nod in agreement.

"Why are Ms. Yang here?"

Lin Zhuo didn't expect to see Yang Shilan when he returned home.

"I asked Shilan to accompany me. I feel a little strange around me recently, but I can't explain it, so I have to ask Shilan to protect me." Lin Yuhe said and leaned on Yang Shilan, and Yang Shilan nodded after listening to her words. nod.

Lin Yuhe seemed to remember something again. She pulled Lin Zhuo's sleeve and said to him, "Oh, by the way, brother, a man came to me recently and said he was looking forward to meeting you."
