Ever since Tienu brought him food, Cheng Jing felt much more relaxed, and didn't have to catch those river fish that didn't taste very good by himself, because thinking that he was paid for it, he felt at ease.

Tie Nu brought all his food for the day and watched him finish eating.

Cheng Jing never cared about his behavior before, but after the strong and absurd feeling last night, he couldn't help but start paying attention to Tie Nu's behavior. There was some awkwardness.

After eating, before Cheng Jing could speak, Tie Nu took a wet cloth from the side, grabbed Cheng Jing's hand, and wiped off the residue on his fingers one by one, with a serious and serious expression, as if he was wiping some treasure.

Cheng Jing straightened her lips, wiped her fingers with a damp cotton cloth, and couldn't help but said, "I can do this kind of thing myself."

Tie Nu raised his eyes to look at him, and wiped his fingers, even the film between them, without missing anything, "I can help you with these things." He said softly, and put down his hand, Throwing away the wet cloth that was already dirty in his hands, he took another wet cloth and leaned over to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Cheng Jing's mouth.

Cheng Jing stretched out her hand, snatched the wet cloth, wiped her mouth vigorously, looked up at him with dark red eyes, "I'll just do it myself." His voice sounded dull through the wet cloth.

Tie Nu looked at him silently. Because he was too tall, when he straightened his waist, Cheng Jing had to look up to see his face clearly. Looking at him, his gaze didn't fall on Tie Nu's face, and he couldn't see his expression. Seeing that he didn't speak, he felt more and more guilty.

"Well, thank you." Cheng Jing looked at him with eyes open, and handed him back the wet cloth in his hand.

Tienu looked down at him, took the wet cloth, and put it in the copper basin beside him.

The two of them fell into a weird silence for a moment, and after a while, Cheng Jing suggested in a low voice: "Let's play chess to relieve boredom."

Tie Nu was silent for a while, then answered in a low voice, cleaned up the table, and put a chessboard on the table.

Tienu is also surprisingly transparent in this regard. Cheng Jing only briefly explained the rules before, and he was able to get started quickly. After coming here a few times, Cheng Jing found that he could not beat the newly learned Tienu. .

Not only that, but there was still a feeling of playing with an ax in front of an expert, "Have you really never learned it?" Cheng Jing lost again, looking at Tie Nu's expressionless face, he couldn't help asking.

"No." Tie Nu replied, he raised his eyes to look at Cheng Jing, set up the chess game, and asked: "Are you still coming?"

Cheng Jing still had lingering fears about the scene where he was lured into a trap without realizing it, and only realized it when he entered a dead end, but it was already irreparable. Can bite the bullet and say goodbye.

Tie Nu's chess style is more cruel than the opponents Cheng Jing played with before, and he has a sense of carelessness. He can win immediately, but he doesn't. When he was about to lose, he fought back quickly, so fast that Cheng Jing couldn't react at all.

This feeling of being teased made Cheng Jing's face a little gloomy, and Tie Nu seemed to be unable to see the unhappiness on his face, but intensified it instead.

Cheng Jing took a deep breath, and said sadly: "You, can't you be less tricky?"

Tie Nu looked at him, and said calmly: "Isn't it necessary for the chess game to be cunning and changeable in order to confuse the enemy and win the final victory?"

Cheng Jing was at a loss for words, paused, and said with difficulty: "That's what I said, but this is not a war. You don't need so many tricky tricks. Playing chess is about fun..."

Tie Nu stared at him, with a hint of a smile in his deep eyes, "You mean, do you want me to let you?"

"..." Cheng Jing blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't mean that either, um, wouldn't it be better to do something so that both of them can have fun?" After a pause, The tone was a bit sad, "Now you are the only one having fun..."

Tie Nu stroked a chess piece with his finger, was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't play like this, you throw it faster."

Cheng Jing: "..."

Cheng Jing was depressed to find that what he said made sense, but he couldn't refute it at all, "Are you really a beginner?"

Tie Nu nodded, and Cheng Jing became more and more depressed, "It seems that my level is not good enough."

Tienu asked: "Do you want to continue?"

Cheng Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "No."

Tienu paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and began to pack the chess pieces.

"Iron slave," Cheng Jing called out hesitantly.

It finally came, Tie Nu thought lightly in his heart, Cheng Jing hadn't learned how to hide his face that could see all his thoughts, so when he proposed to play chess, that absent-minded expression that hesitated to speak all the time Tie Nu saw everything without omission, and he deliberately tossed him in every possible way on the chessboard, just not wanting him to think about how to speak there.

But now how do you stop him from saying things he doesn't even want to hear?Tie Nu tightened his grip on the chess piece, his eyes fell on Cheng Jing's ruddy and soft lips, and his eyes became deep.

Cheng Jing looked at Tie Nu and said softly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Tie Nu didn't say anything, just looked at him like that, as if he was puzzled.

After all, Cheng Jing still decided to believe him, summoned up courage in her heart, and said: "Actually, I am a person with two legs like you. Although I don't know why I have become like this, it is really an accident." After a pause, he looked at Tie Nu's still unmoving eyes, and continued: "Maybe you think I'm joking, but please listen to me."

Tie Nu said in a low voice: "I believe in you."

Cheng Jing was stunned, he raised his eyes to look at Tie Nu, saw that his eyes were heavy, but he didn't have any doubts or ridicule, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes were clear and looked at Tie Nu, and the corners of his lips curled up. Arc, "Thank you, Iron Slave."

Tie Nu lowered his eyes, stroking the not-so-good-quality chess piece with his fingers, with an unpredictable expression, "What do you want me to help you with?"

Cheng Jing peeped at his expression and said: "I want you to send me to the capital, where my family is."

"But you look like this, how do you go to see your family?" Tie Nu asked, unexpectedly quickly accepting the fact that a person turns into a mermaid, which is simply absurd to ordinary people.

"It's okay, I know that no matter what I become, my parents will definitely recognize and accept it." There was a brief hesitation on Cheng Jing's expression, but it disappeared in an instant.

He didn't plan to go back to Prince Jing's Mansion at the beginning, go to the capital, stay until the one-month test period is over, and then go to find Xie Zhiqing, Xie Zhiqing is so smart, he will definitely be able to figure out a way to turn him back into a human.

Tie Nu was silent for a while, seeming to accept his words, "Then how can I send you to the capital?"

Cheng Jing thought about all the process very early on, "We'll take the water route. There is a pier outside Liuze Town, and you can take a boat. In order to avoid trouble, I will stay in the water first, and you get on the boat first. At night, I will quietly hide in your room..."

Tie Nu listened to him dancing and talking about his plan, his eyes as deep as a cold pool were dim, and he casually looked down at the chess piece in his hand that had been slightly cracked by him, stretched out his hand and put it back. in the box.

"How?" After Cheng Jing finished speaking, she asked Tie Nu, her dark red eyes shining like the most precious gems, "It's just the most appropriate way, do you have any ideas?"

Tie Nu put the chess pieces into the box together, and glanced at him casually, "I'm seasick." He said in a low voice.

Cheng Jing looked at him in surprise, said "uh", squeezed her cold fingers, and said, "Then let's go by land. Then you can buy me a big box, and I can hide it in it."

Tie Nu paused, pushed the box away, leaned close to Cheng Jing's face, and said hoarsely: "I don't agree to your request, what are you going to do?"

Cheng Jing was taken aback. Although he had thought that Tienu would reject his request, he never thought that Tienu would put it on the table and say it. He turned his head slightly and thought for a while, then his eyes fell on Tienu's face, and he said dryly : "Don't you want to?"

Tie Nu looked at him deeply, and said indifferently, "Yes, I don't want to."

Cheng Jing didn't know what to say for a while.

Tie Nu paused, and said: "The capital city is much farther away than you think, let's talk about it later."

When Cheng Jing heard this, she became anxious, "There is a reason why I rushed back, I, oh, Tienu, please help me, although this journey will definitely trouble you, but after you arrive, what do you want, I will help you." I can give you all!"

Tie Nu paused, then stared at him darkly, "Are you serious?"

"Really, you will give me whatever I want?" Cheng Jing ignored the weird sticky feeling in his tone, and when he heard that Tie Nu wanted to let go, he immediately responded: "Really Yes, as long as I can give, I will satisfy you."

The corners of Tie Nu's lips twitched, and he actually laughed, "Okay, if you can give me what I want, it's fine to send you to the capital."

Cheng Jing was about to jump up happily, "You agreed?" He looked at Tie Nu happily.

Tie Nu smiled and said, "I agree."

"Then let's go tomorrow." Cheng Jing said with a very excited expression.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I want?" Tie Nu's voice was hoarse and dry.
