Yokai Office

Hearing this, Shen Xi frowned immediately, and said dissatisfiedly, "How can this be?! Why can those elders decide your life or death?"

Le Chaoyang smiled bitterly, "There's nothing wrong with it. Xixi, you just don't know... In fact, the spirit of the calendar exists for this."

In other words, Tiling is the second life to replace Haijun at critical moments.

"Every replacement spirit is an unconscious individual at the beginning, so they will be indoctrinated into their thoughts and live only for Haijun all their lives. They all say, I am very special..."

The reason why Le Chaoyang is considered special by others is because he first became the 'Second Prince of the Merman Clan' before he was selected by Haiyang's ancient spiritual art, and he gained the identity of a replacement spirit.

Le Chaoyang is different from the previous replacement spirits, he has independent thoughts from the beginning.

"Then what happened later? What happened?" Shen Xi asked.

If the intentions of the elders of the Yuren Clan were fulfilled, Le Chaoyang would not be standing here at this moment.

"Jing Chuan woke up." Le Chaoyang simply changed his words, "He strongly blocked this decision, and all the elders strongly opposed it. They also said that between him and me, the identities of Hai Jun and Ti Ling have been reversed."

Shen Xi was silent.

"Then, in front of everyone..." Le Chaoyang hesitated, hesitating and saying nothing.

Shen Xi took a closer look and found that he seemed to be shy.

Almost instantly, he understood what happened next.

It must have been Le Jingchuan who expressed his feelings for Le Chaoyang in front of everyone.

"I see." Shen Xi winked at him slyly.

Le Chaoyang stretched out his hand, covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Xi became more and more sure.He had to admit that Haijun's attack was quite domineering!

"And then?" He asked curiously.

Le Chaoyang recalled, but his expression suddenly dimmed.

"At that time, my mother and several elders were all there, and after hearing what he said, their faces were ugly."

Especially the former Mrs. Haijun, Le Jingchuan's mother, immediately changed her attitude.

Ever since Le Chaoyang came to the Merman Clan, she has treated Le Chaoyang as her own son.In this distress, Le Jingchuan was seriously injured, and she never said anything against Le Chaoyang.

But when Le Jingchuan explained his feelings clearly, the former Mrs. Haijun couldn't accept it.

"She treats me like her own son, and even spoke for me in front of several elders." Le Chaoyang lowered his voice, "But no mother can accept such a thing."

The older brother fell in love with the nominal 'younger brother', and the former Mrs. Haijun, who was the mother of both, was naturally the first to stand up against it.

I think of my mother's eyes mixed with shock and disappointment.

Le Chaoyang felt that he couldn't face her, "To become the leader of the mermaid tribe, apart from strength, you also need the support of several elders."

"I can't hurt him, and I can't make mother sad. So, I made my attitude clear on the spot." Eye sockets were slightly red.

Those words not only hurt Le Jingchuan, but also hurt himself.

"Chao Yang." Shen Xi hesitated to speak, but he didn't know how to comfort him.He could feel that Le Chaoyang suppressed his feelings deeply.

"Later, someone deliberately provoked opposition within the clan, saying that he cared about his personal affection for me, but he ignored the safety of the whole clan and even the entire East Lihai! But he resisted the pressure and tried to find a way to protect me."

"I never thought he would be so stubborn. Despite repeated objections from the elders and mother, he still persisted. Maybe it was my evasion that hurt him..." Le Chaoyang said in a low voice, "Even later, I still put I brought out the shark tribe and detained them."

Shen Xi was taken aback, he didn't expect Haijun to treat Le Chaoyang like this!

"Detention?! Hasn't he always been nice to you?!"

Le Chaoyang smiled bleakly, "Yes, he was very kind to me. It was I who got into the corner and pushed him into a hurry."

Later, Le Jingchuan realized that he had gone too far, and he sincerely apologized to Le Chaoyang.

However, he never released Le Chaoyang Hui.After all, returning to the clan as Le Chaoyang's 'replacement spirit', his life may still be threatened.

"I know that if things go on like this, I will harm him. Although he has arrested me, Haijun's duty is still there. A sea festival lasts for seven days, and I escaped while he was in the sea."

Le Chaoyang bowed his head and covered his face, but his voice trembled horribly——

"I really don't know what to do."

Le Chaoyang is different from those puppet substitutes in the past!From the very beginning, he was a real human being!

He will fear, be afraid, be afraid of death, and understand feelings.

Having said this, Shen Xi finally fully understood.

"Chaoyang, it's okay." Shen Xi comforted in a low voice.

"I know he was injured during the sea festival. That day in Xinghuayuan, I was caught off guard because I felt his pain that day, and I was taken advantage of by Tranquility."

For a long time, the emotions that have been suppressed in my heart finally have an outlet.

Le Chaoyang began to moan uncontrollably.

"I want to go back with him. I don't want him to bear all this alone. But... But with my spiritual power, I can't help him at all. Instead, it will only increase his pressure and burden."

Deep love, but powerless.

If it weren't for someone testing energy weapons on the seabed of Dongli, Le Chaoyang wouldn't have to bear all this at this moment!Once the so-called energy weapons are successfully tested and put into use, how many people's happiness will be destroyed?

For some reason, Shen Xi felt a deep sadness in his heart.

"Sorry." Le Chaoyang quickly suppressed his emotions, "I lost my composure."

"It's ok……"

Shen Xi was about to say something when the phone rang, and it was Zong Ci.

"Hello." Shen Xi answered the phone.

Zong Ci's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of urgency in his words, "Xixi? Where have you been?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi glanced at Le Chaoyang across the way, and said, "Oh, Chaoyang and I came out, and it's in a nearby coffee shop."

Zong Ci seemed relieved, and said, "Well, you will be away for a long time in the future, remember to tell me."

"Huh?" Shen Xi glanced at the time.

Perhaps he and Le Chaoyang were so involved in chatting that more than an hour passed without realizing it.

"While chatting, I didn't pay attention to the time. I was wrong, I will definitely pay attention next time." Shen Xi lowered his voice and spoke with a hint of flattery.

Zong Ci on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Come back soon after we finish talking."

"okay."

Shen Xi hung up the phone.

Le Chaoyang stood up in a blink of an eye, "Let's go?"

"Ah, don't sit for a while longer?" Shen Xi asked.

Le Chaoyang suppressed his emotions in his heart, and seemed to be joking with a smile, "No, let's go back quickly, so as not to worry Team Zong so much that he can't eat or do work."

When Shen Xi was teased by him, she immediately acted 'dissatisfied', "I'm the boss of the firm, as long as we can finish our work."

"Yes, yes, Boss Shen, it's time to go back." Le Chaoyang apologized according to his wishes, and said, "Do more business to make money."

Shen Xi smiled and stood up, "Okay, stop kidding, let's go."

Le Chaoyang told him a lot of things, Shen Xi was worried about him, seeing that he calmed down and didn't want to mention more, so he kept quiet and didn't say a word.

***

The two returned to the office, and Shen Xi went straight to Zongci's office on the second floor.

The door of the office was ajar, Shen Xi approached quietly, through the crack of the door, he happened to have a clear view of the situation inside.

Zong Ci was sitting on the swivel chair, staring at the light screen.

The white sleeves were folded up a little, revealing his strong arms and wrists. His slender fingers were typing quickly, he was dealing with something, and his expression was cold and serious.

The first button of the white shirt was unbuttoned, and the neckline was slightly open, exuding a charming taste of abstinence.

Simply pleasing to the eye, beautiful and delicious.

Within a few seconds, a slight smile appeared on Zong Ci's originally serious face, and he said without raising his head, "Boss Shen, are you poking Cha Gang secretly?"

Shen Xi who was outside the door chuckled, immediately pushed the door open, walked in, and closed the door again.

"Zongci, I'm back!" After saying that, he trotted over.

Zong Ci stopped his movements and shifted the swivel chair a little.

As a result, Shen Xi sat directly on his lap, letting him hug her full.

Zong Ci lowered his head and pressed against his shoulder, sniffing his scent vigorously.

Shen Xi was a little itchy by his action, and dodged his hands, "It's so itchy."

"What are you talking about? So long?" Zong Ci raised his head, approached his ear, and kissed him.

Shen Xi remembered what Le Chaoyang said before, the smile on his face disappeared, and instead he hugged Zongci's shoulder tightly and did not move.

Zong Ci was taken aback by his sudden change, and hurriedly asked worriedly, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

Shen Xi leaned close to him and muttered, "Zong Ci."

"Ok?"

Shen Xi was silent for a while, and simply told Zong Ci about Le Chaoyang.

The two are lovers, Shen Xi knows Zong Ci's character, and the other party will not reveal this matter casually.And he will only speak to Zongci.

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Zong Ci understood where Shen Xiyou came from, "Are you trying to help them?"

Shen Xi pulled out a bitter smile, and shook his head, "Compared to Chaoyang, I'm just half a catty, and I can't help them."

"But there's me." Zong Ci looked down at him, "If you want to help them..."

Originally, the matter of Donglihai this time was not handed over to Zong to resign.

Shen Xi was silent and didn't say anything.

Everyone has selfish intentions, Dong Li's maritime affairs are serious, and Shen Xi doesn't want Zong Ci to rush into danger in order to help.

Zongci guessed what he was thinking, and said to him in a low voice, "Xixi, actually you have to understand. The matter between Chaoyang and Haijun will ultimately be handled by themselves."

"Everyone has a different attitude and way of dealing with feelings." Zong Ci said softly, "Le Chaoyang regards himself as Haijun's burden, if he keeps thinking like this...even if we can help them once, what about next time? What if you have a similar problem?"

"I understand." Shen Xi nodded thoughtfully.

Zong Ci added, "Tomorrow afternoon, the bureau will arrange for people to set off for Donglihai. If Le Chaoyang wants to go back, he can go with the people in the bureau."

Shen Xi responded, feeling a little tangled in his heart.

He wanted Le Chaoyang to go back, and to make his mind clear with Haijun, so that the two could share difficulties together.

But he was also afraid that after Le Chaoyang went back, if something unexpected happened, Haijun would not be able to protect him with his own strength.

After all, Le Chaoyang was one of his few friends.

"Don't worry, if he decides to go back..." Zong Ci rubbed his head, "I will also go to help Mr. Hai."

"Zong Ci?" Shen Xi looked at him.

Zong Ci showed a trace of helplessness, and said, "Who made him your valued friend?"

Shen Xi showed a smile, and squeezed into his arms hard, "Zongci."

"Ok?"

"Zong Ci!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Shen Xi smiled silly twice, "It's okay, I just like you so much."

Zong Ci was delighted by his intimacy, and smiled lightly and hugged him tightly.

***

Shen Xi told Le Chaoyang about this before leaving get off work.

Le Chaoyang just listened quietly, always restraining his true emotions, and did not react redundantly.

Seeing him like this, Shen Xi said too much, "Chaoyang, there are some things you can fight for by yourself. You think you will hurt him if you go back. But have you ever thought about his feelings?"

"What if he just wants you to be by his side?"

"Dong Lihai Seabed, this crisis is serious... Forgive me for taking the liberty, if he, if he can't survive alone, what are you going to do?"

Le Chaoyang's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were reddened.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Xi said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. But I hope you can understand that for some people and certain things, once you avoid and miss them, there may be no future."

"Think about it yourself." Shen Xi patted his shoulder reassuringly, turned and left.

Le Chaoyang bowed his head and remained silent. He didn't know how long it took before he picked up his backpack and walked outside step by step.

***

The next day, Le Chaoyang didn't come to the office until noon.No one even answered the phone.

Thinking of his disappearance last time, Shen Xi couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Zong Ci, you said something happened to him?"

Seeing his anxious look, Zong Ci comforted him, "Perhaps, he returned to East Lihai alone?"

"No! With his character, if he knows Donglihai, he will definitely tell me." Le Chaoyang has always known how to measure, and will not worry others for no reason.

As a result, before the two could say a few words, Liu Huo hurried up, "Xixi! Go downstairs quickly! Chao Yang is here, and his condition is very bad!"
