To use him as a stand-in for himself?

It occurred to him that perhaps the relationship between him and Huo Shen had caused Gong Tao to misunderstand during this period of time.

Xiao Hanping said: "You think too much."

Seeing that he didn't take this sentence to heart at all, Gong Tao was angry and anxious: "You don't believe me, do you? That's because you don't know anything!"

Is there another reason for this?

"You can tell me what I don't know."

Gong Tao took a deep breath.

He looked at Xiao Hanping's face, and finally made up his mind: "Since you are a fan of Xiao Hanping, you should know that Xiao Hanping and Huo Shen used to be the most tacit partners."

Xiao Hanping didn't know why Gong Tao mentioned this suddenly.

But before he could speak, Gong Tao continued: "However, few people know that the relationship between them is even closer than this."

Xiao Hanping frowned slightly.

Closer than a partner?

How to live again, everyone seems to know the past between him and Huo Shen better than him.

Seeing his expression, Gong Tao said: "I don't know what the leader thinks, but at least Huo Shen is. I have seen with my own eyes—"

He spoke half.

The curtain of the tent flicked suddenly.

Huo Shen came in from the door.

Xiao Hanping's gaze shifted to him.

Huo Shen's face was gloomy, and he looked at Gong Tao with dark clouds in his eyes.

His tone was cold and stern: "Captain Gong, why are you here?"

He seemed to suppress his anger, and the five fingers hanging by his side were trembling slightly.

But since entering the door, he didn't look at Xiao Hanping.

"He's talking about you and Xiao Hanping."

Xiao Hanping didn't notice Huo Shen's strangeness, his eyes flickered around him, and then fell back on Gong Tao's face, "Continue talking, what did you see with your own eyes?"

Gong Tao has already felt the cold eyes behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.

He had experienced a moment of life and death in the alliance, even though he was still venting his anger, he still had to deal with Huo Shen, who was afraid of capriciousness.

But before he could change the subject, the chill that made him wary suddenly disappeared.

Huo Shen stepped forward and turned to Xiao Hanping: "Why are you suddenly interested in the past. I can tell you what you want to know."

Seeing his appearance, Gong Tao's anger overwhelmed his fear in a blink of an eye.

"Since you did it, why are you afraid of me saying it! Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. In the past three years, you've been trying to put on a show. Isn't it just to trick everyone into thinking how affectionate you are? You treat the leader as if you were acting Now that I have found a substitute, I don't even pay him a second glance, Huo Shen, how can the leader feel sorry for you!"

Hearing that he was emotional now, Xiao Hanping said: "Gong Tao, calm down."

"I don't need to be calm!"

Gong Tao gritted his teeth and said, "I can see clearly what happened back then. If I had known that your surname was Huo, I would never have helped you hide it from the leader!"

It was said that there was no wind behind Huo Shen.

The bulging cold current rolled up the door curtain.

His words were buried in the chill, cold and cold: "Captain Gong, please go out."

But Gong Tao took a step across and stood in front of Ji Mingfeng: "Unless you let me take him away, otherwise, I won't leave today!"

Things have come to this situation again.

Xiao Hanping stood up, raised his hand and patted Gong Tao's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, Huo Shen won't do anything to me."

Gong Tao said angrily: "Why don't you understand!"

He was already stupid, seeing that Xiao Hanping still trusted Huo Shen so much, he couldn't help feeling anxious, "The reason why Huo Shen treats you well now is because he has bad intentions towards you!"

Xiao Hanping didn't know what he meant by this substitute.

It's not clear what he saw back then that caused him to have such a deep prejudice against Huo Shen.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hanping asked again: "Back then, what did you see?"

Suddenly, Huo Shen, who was standing by the door, was shocked.

He hurriedly crossed Gong Tao's shoulder and looked at Xiao Hanping.

Gong Tao has already said at this time: "Back then—"

Huo Shen had the illusion that his heartbeat had stopped.

Facing those deep and dark eyes, the uneasiness in his heart overwhelmed everything, thrashing wildly in his chest.

stop.

"Huo Shen, he stole—"

Huo took a deep breath and trembled.

The extremely ear-piercing screeching sounded from his ears, wantonly stirring his reason.

stop!

The energy of the sudden riot caused Xiao Hanping's eyes to change slightly: "Be careful."

Gong Tao also realized that something was wrong.

But his defense seemed so fragile at this time.

Wait until Huo Shen comes back to his senses.

Tents made of special materials fell apart.

Ragged icicles are all around.

There is no shelter above the head, the dim moonlight pours down, and the silver frost is scattered all over the ground.

Biting tornado cold barely subsided.

Scattered ice and snowflakes were still floating in the air.

The messy daily necessities are still "jingling" rolling.

Gong Tao, who was standing in front of Xiao Hanping, was falling from the icicle beside him.

He snorted, covered his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and coughed again.

People who heard the movement had already poked their heads out of their respective tents.

When they saw the tall and straight figure like a pine tree standing at the scene of the crime, everyone was startled and retreated quickly, so as not to offend the lord.

Gong Tao propped himself on the ground with one hand, trying to get up, but his vision went dark.

He reluctantly swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, secretly hating himself for being so unbearable compared to Huo Shen!

But Huo Shen's attention at this time was not on others at all.

He watched Xiao Hanping wake up the bracelet and open the communication channel.

"Someone is injured. Medical team, to this coordinate."

Xiao Hanping's voice was deep and magnetic, very recognizable, and when he heard it was him, there was an immediate reply on the channel.

"Okay, wait a minute, we'll be right there!"

There are very few outdoor activities after the catastrophe, especially at night, and there is at least one bed to lie back in the tent, and it is easier to indulge in the Internet, so everyone is in the rest area at this time, and the distance is not too far.

Soon, the medical team rushed over.

I don't know if they heard some news, but they brought a folding stretcher when they came.

In front of Xiao Hanping and Huo Shen, after examining Gong Tao, they put him on a stretcher and left quickly.

Fortunately, even if Huo Shen did it subconsciously, he didn't hurt anyone seriously.

It should be healed in an hour.

Meanwhile, staff at the makeshift camp have set up new tents.

Although they didn't know why Huo Shen was furious, for the whole south, Huo Shen, who had killed two five-star alien beasts, was undoubtedly their savior. They only felt grateful, without any complaints.

Not to mention a tent, even if the entire temporary camp was overturned, they had nothing to say.

Wait until the staff also leave.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Xiao Hanping went back to the tent first.

Huo Shen looked at his back and stood there for a long time before turning around and following him.

When he opened the curtain, he saw Xiao Hanping had already sat down.

News channels were reopened.

The dignified host in the projection is broadcasting today's latest news.

Her voice filled the small space.

However, the atmosphere still fell into dead silence and embarrassment.

Huo Shen stood still in front of the door again.

Seeing that Xiao Hanping didn't look at him, he continued to move forward, went to another bed and sat down.

Xiao Hanping still didn't look at him.

Huo Shen's back was stiff, his fists were on his knees, he was afraid to hear Xiao Hanping's voice, but he wanted to hear Xiao Hanping's voice desperately.

But it will take a long time.

Xiao Hanping still didn't look at him.

"Xiao Hanping..."

Only then did Xiao Hanping turn his eyes to meet him: "Why?"

Huo Shen pursed his thin lips, not knowing what to say at this moment.

Before hearing his next words, Xiao Hanping got up suddenly.

Huo Shen blurted out: "Where are you going!"

Xiao Hanping glanced at him: "I'm not going anywhere."

After finishing the words, he walked towards the sink in the corner of the tent.

The conditions of the temporary camp are limited, and the capacity of the container filled with hot water is only enough for simple washing.

However, choosing to go outdoors meant giving up the quality of life in the dungeon, and Xiao Hanping didn't pay much attention to it.

After washing, he returned to the bed.

Fighting with five-star alien beasts during the day will consume a lot of mental power.

Although he has made great progress compared to the training game, he still needs to rest as much as possible to recover his energy.

When sitting down, Xiao Hanping inadvertently swept across Huo Shen's face.

He lifted the quilt and said softly, "It's been a long day, go to sleep."

Just such an understatement.

Huo Shen's tensed nerves were still on the strings.

Again.

Always.

Xiao Hanping will never ask, and it seems that he will never be curious about everything about him.

For others, Huo Shen most wishes to keep such a distance.

But for Xiao Hanping.

He always wanted to be closer, to be closer—

He wanted Xiao Hanping to know him better, even if his curiosity crossed the line, he would be happy with it.

But Xiao Hanping would never do this.

Xiao Hanping respected him enough and never even tried to interfere with his privacy.

But the more this happened, the more pain he suffered.

He would rather Xiao Hanping get angry and question him than be ignored like this.

It's like going back to the past.

After indifference, it gradually drifts away.

"Don't you want to know? What Gong Tao failed to tell you."

Xiao Hanping looked up at him: "Since you don't want to tell me, why bother to ask."

Huo Shen opened his mouth.

He subconsciously staggered his gaze, feeling the bitterness and anxiety flowing in his veins.

The calmness and unhurriedness when facing strange beasts is always easily wiped out in front of Xiao Hanping.

He would never mention it if he could.

But he didn't want to let Gong Tao's words leave a gap in Xiao Hanping's heart.

What he regretted three years ago, he doesn't want to happen again.

"I just don't want you to hear it from Gong Tao."

Huo Shen heard himself talking, and he tried his best to restrain the trembling in his breath, "As long as you ask, I will tell you myself."

The host's voice continued to ring.

The images in the projection are displayed all around, flickering on and off.

The sudden silence was just Huo Shen's illusion.

Xiao Hanping took a deep look at him: "Then, tell me, what are you hiding?"

What happened that year.

What would cause Gong Tao to have such a prejudice against Huo Shen, and even be sure that Huo Shen would regard him as a stand-in.

"I……"

After the words fell, there was another long silence.

Huo Shen said in a hoarse voice, "I..."

It was rare for him to hesitate like this, as if the next words would cause him some kind of pain.

Xiao Hanping looked at him: "If you don't want to say it, I won't—"

"No!"

Huo Shen raised his eyes sharply.

His tone was abrupt and firm, and an indescribable light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for countless hours to this person face to face.

"I love you."

Xiao Hanping was taken aback.

Huo Shen chuckled.

He seemed relieved, but his eyes were full of anticipation and panic.

He stared at Xiao Hanping.

He pressed his violent heartbeat into his chest, but there was still a slight and long-lasting ringing in his ears.

"That's what I'm hiding from you."
