My friends are all over the world

The wind blows through the sparse forest, making clusters of noises.

Lin Xin scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed.

After Hu Rong finished saying that, he regretted it.

He tried to remedy: "It's not... I mean..."

Lin Xin stood in front of him without speaking, waiting for him to speak.

With a sweep of the fox's tail behind him, Hu Rong said again: "You don't know. I started liking you as early as in Wu's palace."

"Many years ago, I went to the human world with my elder brother to avoid disaster. His highness ascended the throne three days before the country died, and then took us to the state of Wu. We are nine brothers, and my elder brother often ignores me. My highness and I are together. A little longer."

"Your Highness treats me gently and teaches me many things. I didn't know that people who have gone through so much suffering can be so gentle. Your Highness smoothed out the hostility in my body, and I learned the principles of how to behave in the world from His Highness. Arrived."

"For hundreds of years, although I have been a demon king and a demon king, I want to be like what His Highness taught me."

"When I was in Wu State, my elder brother once joked that he would promise all eight younger brothers to His Highness, but they didn't remember it. I don't know about this matter..."

"Take it seriously, take it seriously."

Lin Xin never knew that he had such thoughts, and never knew that when he was with a little fox, that little fox might fall in love with him.

He thought for a while, still a little dazed, and only replied: "I see."

"Lin Xin, you don't know."

"I……"

Hu Rong continued: "After the human world was separated, I looked for His Highness for 300 years. In 300 years, I went to heaven and earth, and I almost turned the six worlds upside down."

For those 300 years, Lin Xin was still a small stone, hiding at the foot of Xishan Mountain, waiting for a fairy fate.

Hu Rong naturally couldn't find him.

But 300 years later, Lin Xin, who is greedy for beauty, traveled all over the Six Realms, compiled the list of beauties in the Six Realms, and met friends all over the Six Realms.

Maybe it was a trick of good fortune, but even so, Hu Rong still couldn't find him earlier.

"Because I like you, I have been looking for you for hundreds of years."

"Every time I go to Shouque Mountain to see my elder brother, I actually want to see you; every time I send something to Shouque Mountain, I prepare four gifts, but I actually want to give it to you; I only want to be friends with you because I have no choice." I have seen you reject many people with a heart of stone, and I am like those people. If I want to stand with you, I can only be friends."

"But you have too many friends, you don't know."

Lin Xin pursed the corners of his lips, and explained softly: "I really never thought that you would..."

"I don't know either." Hu Rong said, "Before this, I didn't know there would be exceptions to the Heart of Stone."

Lin Xin asked: "You want to talk about Gu Yuan?"

"He is engaged to you, and the engagement is unclear. Just relying on a painting, the ten days of getting along at the Daofa Conference. Even if you choose the elder brother, I will not fail to understand. I always thought, wait a little longer. After a while, it's time to see me, but before Gu Yuan and you got engaged, you two just met, why?"

Hu Rong looked into his eyes and asked, "How can I not compare to him?"

Lin Tao: "You are not inferior to him."

Hu Rong asked subconsciously: "If that's the case, why not me?"

He asked Lin Xin this kind of question, and Lin Xin couldn't explain it clearly.

As soon as the words fell, Hu Rong also came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said to Lin Tao, "I'm impatient for a while, so don't take it to heart."

As early as the beginning, when Hu Rong told him that he liked him, seeing his puzzled expression, Hu Rong knew that he had no chance.

What he said just now is nothing but a statement made after years of hard work.

Lin Xin never thought that a good relationship formed hundreds of years ago would turn into such a situation now.

The two sides confront each other, neither of them is talking.

Lin Xin thought for a while, then took a step to the side.

Seeing this, Hu Rong immediately reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Lin Xin explained: "It's windy outside, let's go back and talk."

He's always been like this, with a heart of stone.

If he had never seen his appearance towards Gu Yuan, Hu Rong would not think it was a big deal.

But he has seen it.

Lin Xin pushed his hand away, and Hu Rong looked up at him, feeling that Xianjun was so unfair.

In the main hall of the temple, the little novice walked softly through the wooden corridor.

Lin Xin stood in the corner of the corridor sheltered from the wind, lowered his head, and looked at his toes.

Hu Rong was still standing in front of him, staring at him.He had finished speaking, and he was waiting for Lin Xin to speak.

It seemed that this incident caused some headaches, Lin Xin patted his forehead: "I..."

"I didn't think of it." He scratched his hair, "I really didn't think of it."

Hu Rong hides it too deeply, and he has a heart of stone, so he can't detect it.

"I don't know, you have been... so many years since then... I really missed you." Lin Xin was really distressed, grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and slammed his head against the wall behind him.

Hu Rong took half a step forward, stood behind him, and called out, "Lin Xin."

Lin Xin took a step aside: "Hu Rong, I really haven't thought about it, and... I haven't thought about it. If I say that, do you understand?"

Hu Rong nodded with difficulty: "I understand."

"That's good." Lin Tao said, "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, so I unintentionally delayed you for a long time. This matter is my fault."

"It has nothing to do with you." Maybe it was because of the windy night, Hu Rong's voice was hoarse, "I didn't say it myself."

"Then..." Lin Xin paused, "This matter has nothing to do with Gu Yuan. You can't compare to him."

"I know." Hu Rong said lightly, "It's just that you like him better."

"There is no comparison." Lin Xin didn't look at him, "Stone Heart has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, there is no difference between liking a little bit and liking a lot, liking is liking."

If you don't like it, you don't like it, there is no comparison.

Lin Xin also blocked the road in his words.

Hu Rong tried to ask again: "Lin Xin, can I continue to wait?"

"No." Lin Xin said firmly, "You don't need to spend your time and thoughts on me. If you have paid, you will definitely want the result. I have no result for you. So this kind of thing is really very important to you. unfair."

Without waiting for him to speak again, Lin Xin said again: "I didn't regard...delaying a person's time for many years as a kind of proof of 'I'm fine'."

"It's not something to brag about and I'm really ashamed."

Hu Rong smiled bitterly: "After you and Gu Yuan are separated, there is no hope?"

"No." Lin Xin patiently explained to him, "I broke up with Gu Yuan, this is a matter between the two of us, it has nothing to do with the matter between you and me. I broke up with him one day, it won't That's why we're together."

Hu Rong was not reconciled, and finally asked: "Can we still be friends?"

"Yes." Lin Xin added, "The premise is that you have let go. If it is still like before, I will try my best to avoid you."

Lin Xin was always like this, with clear order and clear cause and effect, telling him one by one.

Hu Rong suddenly hated his stone heart.

He raised his hand, wanting to touch his heart, to see if his stone heart was really always like that.

Lin Xin leaned his back against the wall, unable to retreat, he also stretched out his hand.

With a "snap", the two palms hit each other.

Lin Xin held his hand, shook it up and down, and was about to let go. The handshake between friends was polite and alienated.

Hu Rong lowered his head slightly, held his wrist with his backhand, and led him to touch his fox ears.

Once upon a time in Wu's imperial palace, he took on the original form of a fox with his tail wrapped around Lin Xin's hand.Lin Xin guessed that he was not of my race, but he didn't tell the truth, just stroked his tail and it was over.

Hu Rong bowed his head, holding Lin Xin's hand trembling.Lin Xin couldn't break free, so he clenched his hands into fists, not intending to touch his ears at all.

Until this moment, a voice in Hu Rong's heart whispered: "It's not going to happen, it's really not going to happen."

He lowered his head, his broad shoulders slowly slumped, trembling slightly.

There was a lotus lantern hanging under the eaves, Hu Rong turned his back to the light, Lin Xin couldn't see his face clearly, and he also pretended not to see it.

He cried.

Forbearance and restraint are his consistent style.

His relationship that could never be held in front of Lin Xin, the attachment that should be hidden in the bottom of his heart forever, and the crap that would immediately declare failure after becoming greedy, was also tolerated in the same way.

Restrain until it disappears.

And Lin Xin held his breath, not daring to talk to him, and not daring to make any moves.I'm afraid that because of my inattention, I will delay his life for hundreds of years.

As Hu Rong just said, he has always been gentle, but at this time, he had to treat this matter with a heart of stone.

After a while, Hu Rong let go of his hand, and grabbed his skirt again.

He shook his head, his voice was harsh: "I won't let go."

Lin Xin asked, "When do you want to go back? Back to the demon world?"

He knew what Lin Xin meant, Lin Xin was going to avoid him, from now on.

Hu Rong still shook his head: "I won't let go, I will never let go."

The lotus lanterns under the eaves were burnt out, and the sky was twilight.

The two of them stood opposite each other for a whole night, in the end it was Hu Rong who left first, and then Lin Xin turned around and left.

When he went back, Gu Yuan also waited for him in his room overnight, and the candles on the desk were also burned out.

Gu Yuan didn't ask him why he came back so late, but just fetched water for him, told him to wash his face, wipe his hands and feet, and bring him some food, but Lin Xin threw down the Qiankun bag and put himself on the couch Once lost, turned over and covered with quilt to sleep.

Hu Rong wanted to quarrel with him, but in the end he was urged back by the official affairs of the demon world.

Two days after he and Hu Nao left, Lin Xin was going back.

In the past two days, Gu Yuan probably knew about it, so he didn't say much, just patted his head.

Lin Xin also regained his composure.

Hu Rong is the child he has raised for several years.He is the most vixen-like vixen, and he has endured it for a long time before speaking out.

Lin believed in him, and felt more guilty.

He only thought that in a few years, Hu Rong would be able to recover.

Lin Xin made up his mind to avoid him.

But within a few days, news came that the demon king Hu Rong was going into seclusion, and the affairs of the demon world were temporarily taken care of by Hu Li.

Hu Li packed up his things, returned to the demon world from Shouque Mountain, bid farewell to the good life of playing cards every day in Shouque Mountain, and took the position of Demon King again.

He critiques and critiques at his desk every day, so busy that he is dizzy.

Every time in the dead of night, in the dim candlelight, recalling the good times of Shou Que Mountain, I would greet my second brother and junior brother: "Damn it, why?"
