Love from the Male Protagonist's Harem

The sun shines through the gaps in the fine leaves, casting layers of bright and crystal light and shadow.

Xia Ge leaned his head on the rough tree trunk, listening to the invincible puppet telling the story that seemed far away and familiar.

She is listening here, listening to everything in the past, like listening to other people's stories, as unreal as a dream.

In that story, there was a puppet master who lived a chic life, fell in love with a princess named Chu Shi, and in order to let the princess win the world, she went to destruction step by step.

And on her downhill road, there was a No. [-] puppet dressed in white, and a tsundere little girl in red.

The puppet in white and the tsundere little girl have always been silently in love with the puppet master, one is taciturn and the other is expressive.

"...Does the puppet master like that puppet?"

Xia Ge felt that her lips were a little dry, she licked her lips, looked at the whirling sunlight, and thought of the back of the girl in white she saw before naming Xiangsi.

Lonely and lonely, as if a person has gone through a long time.

It hurts people.

The system said: "Maybe I like it."

"After all, her princess has become famous, but the puppet has always been by her side."

Xia Ge said, "Then she is such a scumbag, she can like whoever she wants."

Invincible Puppet's voice was tolerant, "I don't think it's a kind of fulfillment to like someone who likes you when the person you like abandons you."

"After all, people are not hard stones, and they will always be lonely." The system paused, and said, "After all, life is so long, there are not a few decades to wait."

The reason why the invincible puppet is so tolerant is probably because it has truly experienced those lonely times together with Xia Wushuang.

When Xia Wushuang misses her princess alone, there is always someone behind her, a place that she can see when she turns her head.

As long as you turn your head, you can inadvertently see her standing silently behind you, dressed in white and snowy, calm and peaceful.

It was an unrivaled peace of mind.

Subtly and silently, it makes you feel...

——I feel that no matter when, no matter what you are doing, no matter where you are, no matter what you feel sad for, she will be behind you and accompany you through it.

She will accompany you through the ten years when you waited for someone, through the next ten years when no one can wait for you, through another ten years when your heart is like a rock, and with you through one of the few times in your life. A decade.

never give up.

When did Xia Wushuang realize that he liked that person?

The system thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Probably because it's just a system and can't really understand her.

It may also be Xia Wushuang's ten years of inner loneliness, there are too many moments when I can see that person when I look back.

Start with companionship.

Finally moved.

And there are too many, too many moments that can make Xia Wushuang possibly fall in love with Gu Peijiu.

"Then... what about Su Chan?" Xia Ge asked.

"Su Chan is a fallen angel, and the puppet master has always hoped that one day she can let go of her demons and really return to the sky." The system said, "So there is no need to be sad... This result should be what you most hoped to see back then. .”

Xia Ge stretched out his hand, looking at the palm lines on his palm: "I always feel as if I have forgotten something important..."

In a flash, on the lonely cliff, someone said to the girl in red that the sea is wide enough for fishes to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.

System: "Haha, no more."

Invincible Puppet did not mention Xia Wushuang's long-ago sentence "No matter what you do, I will forgive you."

It felt that it was no longer necessary, saying such words would serve no other purpose except to make people sad.

Those who leave live in the memory, and those who live in the memory are not forgiven, and there is no way to talk about it.

This ending is already the best.

It was gradually getting late, the crystal clear sunlight gradually dimmed, and the emerald green leaves were also stained with the afterglow of the setting sun.

When Xia Ge heard the reason for the birth of Misfortune, the mysterious priest, and heard the misunderstanding between the puppet master and her leader outside Chang'an, her heart beat extremely hard.

It is as if a reader who listened to a boring story finally developed empathy for the story.

The puppeteer who lost his mind and slaughtered all the way as if he was in the scene was hugged tightly by the puppet who loved her, she said to her.

"A heinous sin."

"I will redeem it for you."

……

"What's the ending?" Xia Ge asked.

"The ending is that Xia Wushuang gave up everything and chose to destroy both body and spirit." Invincible Puppet said, "According to the rules, it is indeed the case... But how should I put it, I am excellent and can always take advantage of the loopholes in the rules."

"I went to the law and loopholes website to find out how to evade taxes... No, it's not tax evasion, heck, I specifically checked how to blind the eyes of the law, and then found a way."

Xia Ge: "..."

There is also a special area for exploiting loopholes in your emotional system, no wonder you are usually relentless when tricking her.

"To put it simply, it is to take a piece of your soul and pretend that you are still in this dimension to continue the mission." The system sounded a little guilty, "Then send your remaining soul back to the present world to revive you."

"But after I saved you, my energy was exhausted, and I couldn't stay in a higher dimension for a long time, and the time convection between the three-dimensional and this dimension is different." Invincible Puppet said, "I can only find a place to nest and wait until the destiny The Son of Destiny came out and stored it on him to restore his vitality... because Gu Peijiu and I made an agreement that when the Son of Destiny appeared, I would reincarnate your remnant soul into the opposite of the Son of Destiny...that is, Qin Shuang." Invincible Puppet He muttered twice, "It was a terrible time..."

The thin, unknown bird's call rang.

It was getting late, and the tired bird returned to its nest.

Very pleasing to the ear.

System: "But you know, this is just a way to temporarily hoodwink the law. If you really want you to live, you still need to complete the task."

Xia Ge asked strangely: "What is the final task I want to accomplish here?"

The system said: "There are two paths, one is to completely defeat the Heavenly Dao, use the top puppet technique to destroy this world, and step on the bones of this world to step into a higher dimension."

Xia Ge: "...What are you dreaming about in Spring and Autumn?"

The system's voice quieted down, and it even sounded a little cold, "I didn't have a big dream, after all, this world is really just a book."

Xia Ge: "..."

Xia Ge reacted for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, "Is this the route for my initial mission?"

The system didn't answer directly, and it sounded like it was still immersed in the delusion of stepping on the pinnacle of the puppet system and destroying the world with one hand, "Really, there is no need to hesitate, either the world will die or you will die. This is just a book—— I would rather bear the burden of the world than the world bear me, do you understand, can I pursue a little bit?"

Xia Ge: "..."

System: "Of course it was planned to let you go this way... But when I ran out of energy before, I broke the mission and memory center..."

Xia Ge: "..."

System: "But you are lucky, and thanks to Su Chan, you were able to take the second path by mistake."

Xia Ge decided to give up thinking about the first terrible possibility that didn't happen, and was inhumanly thankful that the invincible puppet broke his brain...

"The second way?"

System: "Well, the second way - completely eliminate the signs of your existence, eliminate the 'scourge' of heaven on you, including the Evil Spirit Mountain and everything else you have done, that is to say, the positive The influence can be ignored, for example, the number of puppet masters in this world has increased greatly, which is very conducive to the development of the subculture of the universe..."

The system said categorically, "But the negative effects that were created before must disappear! That is, 'save'."

Xia Ge: "..." If she remembers correctly, in the story just now, puppetry is the cause of evil spirits, right?

"Su Chan has purified all the evil spirits, and the puppet technique of resurrection from the dead will no longer produce evil spirits. At most, broken souls will form clothes ghosts." The system saw Xia Ge's slander and explained.

When Xia Ge heard Su Chan's name, he felt slightly sad, and then changed the subject and asked, "So after breaking my head, did you choose the second path for me?"

The system calmly said: "No, not really, I chose to release the neutral mission line."

The neutral mission line means that the missions on both sides are distributed chaotically, and all consequences are possible, but the possibility of success of the two routes is greatly reduced.

After all, you can't save the world and destroy the world at the same time, can you?

Xia Ge: "..."

The system quickly said: "But it doesn't matter. After Su Tang became a god, your scourge disappeared, the evil spirits also disappeared, and the negative effects caused by you no longer exist. I can take this opportunity to exploit a loophole. Pretend you as if you have never been to this world at all, and if the law loses Party B, it will be judged that the system has made an error in issuing tasks."

Xia Ge felt a little guilty when he heard this: "After the task goes wrong, the system should take the responsibility, right?"

Invincible Puppet sighed deeply, "Yeah, because of you, I am excellent and will be imprisoned in the Cosmos Labor Reform Bureau for labor reform soon... I'm afraid I won't be able to get out in 8000 years..."

Xia Ge decided to forgive it for all its mistakes.

System: "Bah, you believe me."

Xia Ge said: "You saved me, I believe everything you say."

system:"……"

Seeing that Xia Ge's attitude is so sincere, Invincible Puppet is a little bit unable to make up.

Finally snorted, "It's okay."

Xia Ge still felt suffocated in his heart, and said, "Don't push yourself..."

How could it be okay, I usually have to pay for dropping a cup if I miss it.

Invincible Puppet let out a weird laugh like an old fritter: "It's really nothing, let me tell you, in the universe management office, what I, Invincible Puppet, is handling is a false certificate."

Xia Ge: "..."

The system proudly said: "There are so many idiot hosts these days, if you don't plan with one hand and prepare with the other, I'll be a fool when I come out, and I'll be cheated to death by the idiot host a long time ago."

The idiot host Xia Ge: "..."

...Forget it, for the sake of saving yourself.

After all, before, it was really stupid enough.

The sun was sinking gradually.

Xia Ge thought, it's time to go back.

She stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, walked a few steps, and stopped again.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Why do you have to save me?"

The system didn't mean that it had persuaded Xia Wushuang to let her stay, but at that time, Xia Wushuang's choice was still to die.

Why did the system still take such a big risk to save her?

The system said, "Do you want to die now?"

Xia Ge: "..."

The system said: "Look, it's better to live than to die."

It said: "A person's life is so long, who knows what your thoughts will be at the next moment. Today you want to die, tomorrow you want to live, and the day after tomorrow you want to die and want to live again."

"Now that I'm alive, I can have a little love with someone and lose my temper. After getting angry, I still have a chance to regret it... You see, if I really die, where can I find such a good-looking wife?"

"...You are talking about what will happen if I die." Xia Ge was silent for a while, then said, "But you didn't say why you must save me."

The noisy system suddenly quieted down.

A while, it said.

"Because I said so."

"I am your genius."

Invincible Puppet said, "I also said this to Xia Wushuang."

The moon is full of stars.

It said: "I guided her into the path of a puppeteer—she was able to complete the task excellently every time, and even innovated and compiled better spells to spread to the world. At that time, I had more face in the system world... …cough."

"But my existence is to perfect the imperfect puppet arts, and make them stronger and more perfect under the exploration of the host." The system said, "and obtain the corresponding integral energy to improve myself."

It said, its voice slightly lowered, "So, when she was interested in resurrection from the dead, knowing that... I didn't deliberately stop her."

"I can't be regarded as her extraordinary talent." The system's voice sank, "So, I chose to save her."

It turned out to be the case.

The voice of the system hung up on Erlang again, "But I have a clear conscience now, you have a family and a wife, it's all a mess in your previous life, so I definitely don't care about it hehehe..."

Xia Ge: "..."

Xia Ge was about to say something, when he looked up, he saw that person stepping on the moonlight, looking at her quietly.

Her jet-black hair reflected the twilight of the new moon, staring at her, her skin was like fresh snow, and her red lips were gentle.

She raised her hand slightly, and Xia Ge found that she was holding a large bag of lotus leaves and a big white duck that was dying.

Gu Peijiu said, "I'm going home for dinner."

After a pause, he added, "Goose stew today."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps. Feeling that Xia Ge hadn't followed, he looked sideways at her.

Under the moonlight, under the thin and long eyelashes, the black pupils reflected the moonlight, soft.

By that gaze.

In an instant, Xia Ge forgot everything.

All the sullenness, the annoyance of being concealed, and the anger...or whatever.

One glance, one word, and everything vanishes into thin air.

—Where can I find such a good-looking wife?

For the first time, Xia Ge felt that what the system said was damn reasonable.

Xia Ge walked over, originally wanted to pretend to be angry, and lifted the goose from Gu Peijiu's hand without saying a word.

The atmosphere was silent.

Xia Ge couldn't help muttering, "It's still strange."

just go ahead.

The corners of Gu Peijiu's lips curled up slightly, and she paused for a while. Seeing that she didn't follow, Xia Ge turned her head and pretended to be impatient, "Let's go, go home."

Gu Peijiu finally smiled.

The light color of the moonlight is as beautiful as jade, penetrating to the bone.

Xia Ge stared blankly.

Gu Peijiu walked to her side, "Yes."

The voice was soft, with a slight smile.

"...Don't think that a duck can make me forgive you." Xia Ge carried the big white goose, and heard his muffled voice, "I still have the inspection period."

The beauty's eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

"That's a goose."

Fascinated by the beauty, Xia Ge blushed, and looked away as if nothing had happened: "Oh... goose."

...What kind of goose and duck are stewed.

Anyway, you are good-looking, for the time being... you are right in everything you say.

The two walked for a while, passed through the dark night in the mountains and forests, and came to a large courtyard.The compound was built in the deep mountains, with nine winding corridors. It was the old house of the Gu family a long time ago.

This is where they live temporarily.

The door lock didn't have a bolt.

Xia Ge looked at his nose horizontally and raised his eyes vertically, "Elder Sister, you don't lock the door when you go out."

Gu Peijiu pushed open the gate, and the big yard was tidied up. An ancient well, a small vegetable garden, and a few persimmon trees were tidied up in an orderly manner.

Gu Peijiu said slowly, "No one will steal."

Xiao Xiangsi hid on Gu Peijiu's shoulder, desperately lighting one side of her head or tail.

Xia Ge glanced at Xiao Xiangsi with a chill.

Little Acacia sneaked into the back of Gu Peijiu's snow-white neck.

Xia Ge didn't stop until he found something to do, pointing to the empty clothes hanging pole in the yard and said: "Senior Sister, your bellyband is missing."

In order to show that she was really angry, Xia Ge tied Xiao Xiangsi and her senior sister's bellyband to the persimmon tree in the yard early in the morning and beheaded them for public display.

This is the main reason why Acacia appeared on Gu Peijiu.

Gu Peijiu took back the big white goose from Singer Xia without saying a word, and said softly, "Hey, wait for dinner."

Xia Ge: "..."

The senior sister's back is Shi Shiran, showing no signs of anger.

It made Xia Ge feel like punching cotton.

Xia Ge asked in confusion, "Why isn't she angry?"

system:"……"

The system was speechless for a while, "You are not naive."

So much wind and rain have come, how could she be angry with you because of such a small matter.

Not long after, Gu Peijiu came out with the whole goose wrapped in lotus leaves.

Although he didn't think about eating, Xia Ge was really waiting: "???"

Gu Peijiu said, "It must be buried underground."

Probably the same reason as beggar chicken.

The two went out, and this time Gu Peijiu locked the door.

The sky was full of stars, the two walked one after the other, Xia Ge said: "Senior Sister."

Gu Peijiu paused for a moment, and said "Yes".

Xia Ge: "...Next time, don't tell me nothing."

Finally said.

Gu Peijiu thought.

She paused and nodded slightly.

"Sister, if you don't tell me anything..." Xia Ge said, lowering his head slightly, looking at the broken leaves and pebbles on the ground, "I will feel... like an outsider."

She said, and finally stopped.

Gu Peijiu walked a few steps, then stopped, and looked back at her.

"Senior Sister always tells me good things, or things that make me happy." Xia Ge said, "I'm really happy, but..."

"But I always feel that even though I'm with Senior Sister, Senior Sister is still alone."

In the past, the senior sister alone blocked all the loneliness, darkness, and painful parting, but now she bears the strength and wind and rain alone, but she will never think about giving her some of these wind and rain.

It's as if she is a fragile sprout, unable to withstand a little wind and rain and uneasiness.

"I'm obviously by your side." She said, "I'm obviously...by my senior sister's side."

This person has a strong and gentle heart, and can stand alone against all darkness and injustice.

But always as a person.

"I don't want Senior Sister to be such a person."

The stars were twinkling, the girl looked at her, "I don't want... I don't want to be an outsider to my senior sister."

The breeze blew up the girl's black clothes, and the moonlight set off her bright eyes and fair complexion.

Gu Peijiu was slightly distracted, and then laughed.

"Not an outsider."

She said softly, "Xia Xia, you will never be an outsider to me."

Only this person can walk on her path to death and life.

It's just... she was too careful.

In the last life, she protected this person's pride and indulgence; during the 500 years of loneliness, she guarded that small piece of fragile soul, sheltering it from wind and rain; in this life, she watched her ups and downs, ups and downs, but I always just want to protect her behind me, so that the wind and rain will not hurt me.

Not an outsider, just used to it.

I am used to standing in front of this person as a guardian.

I'm so used to it that I don't know what it feels like to hold this person's hand and face the wind and rain together.

...not an outsider.

Xia Ge's heart warmed slightly.

Xia Ge said, "But senior sister didn't tell me anything."

Gu Peijiu said, "I'll tell you what you want to know."

Xia Ge puffed up her cheeks, "Come on, I said the same thing before, but it turned out to be a selective concealment."

Gu Peijiu thought for a while, walked over, and took her hand.

The delicate hands are as warm and moist as jade, and they are caught off guard. In the cold night, the warmth makes people feel trembling. Xia Ge lost all the ability to resist in an instant——

Gu Peijiu took her hand, came to an open space, and then let go.

Xia Ge clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves, and then let go, his heart was nostalgic for the lingering warmth, but he still pretended to be depressed on his face.

She thought, she couldn't let her go so easily, at least she had to ask clearly about the things she had experienced in the past——

Gu Peijiu put the lotus-leaf goose aside, then flicked up her sleeves slightly, the light of the interrogation sword flashed, and a hole was dug in the ground.

The size is just enough to hold a bulging lotus leaf goose wrapped on one side.

Gu Peijiu slowly put the goose into the pit, and then buried it, her movements were a little rusty.

Doesn't seem to do anything like that.When Xia Ge knelt down to help, Gu Peijiu had already buried it.

After burying the goose, Gu Peijiu saw Xia Ge looking at her, paused, and explained, "I've seen someone do this before."

During those years of protecting the soul fragments, Gu Peijiu traveled to many places alone.

Xia Ge: "...beggar's chicken, right?"

Gu Peijiu nodded.

Xia Ge unconsciously missed the point: "I think the goose may be a little... different, such as the size or something?"

Gu Peijiu saw Xia Ge unconsciously let go of the little insistence before, and she couldn't help laughing. She said, "I'll go find some firewood."

Seeing that the senior sister was about to leave, Xia Ge immediately recalled his little insistence on asking the truth: "I'll go with you!!"

system:"……"

Xia Ge followed Gu Peijiu into the forest to collect firewood, and while picking up firewood, he knocked sideways: "Where did you see the beggar's chicken before?"

Gu Peijiu answered every question: "It's a small mountain village."

Xia Ge said: "Senior Sister."

Gu Peijiu answered her.

Xia Ge: "... Doudou, is that you?"

The wind on the mountain is very light.

Xia Ge squeezed the fragile branch in his hand, and said softly, "Actually, I have seen someone make a beggar's chicken."

Gu Peijiu lowered her eyelashes slightly.

It seems... there is no need to hide anymore.

After a while, she nodded, "Yes."

"Clap."

The branch in Xia Singer's tree was broken.

She stared at her quietly, "Then, the person from the Temple of Rain, is that you?"

Gu Peijiu looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

The broken branch fell from Xia Singer.

The wind blows across the hills, and there is a cold loneliness.

Xia Ge turned his back stiffly, "...that's it."

Sure enough, is it so?

Looking at the girl's back, Gu Peijiu sighed softly, dropped the branch in her hand, walked behind her and hugged her, leaning her head on her shoulder, with a soft voice.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Ge was like a puppet, saying nothing.

Gu Peijiu called her: "Xia Xia."

No answer.

She paused, stood up and exerted a little force, trying to turn the person around, but Xia Ge didn't move at all.

Gu Peijiu turned around, wanted to look at her, but was stunned when she raised her eyes.

The moonlight was bright, lining the girl's face with tears.

She bit her lip, as if she was losing her temper with someone, she didn't even choke, but the tears rolled down in big drops.

--she cried.

When she realized this fact, Gu Peijiu's heart ached.

It feels like the softest place has been stabbed countless times with a needle.

"Whatever you want to hear, I will tell you." Gu Peijiu seemed to be very calm when she heard her own voice. It was obvious that her brain was in a panic and her soul was trembling because of her tears, but her voice was still calm as if she was talking about today. The weather is fine--

In the end, she grabbed her neck, lowered her head and kissed her tearful eyes, trembling eyelashes, soft skin, and finally explored the temperature of her red lips carefully. , entangled with the lips and tongue.

Xia Ge raised his hand, and hugged Gu Peijiu's neck fiercely, as if he was afraid that she would leave, and kissed back tightly, tightly, and suffocatingly.

After the kiss was over, Xia Ge heard his calm voice as before.

"...Gu Peijiu."

"Ah."

"Leave me alone like before."

"..."

"You're an asshole."

Gu Peijiu lowered her eyelashes, "Yes."

"In this life, in the next life."

The two hugged for a while, and Gu Peijiu wiped away Xia Ge's tears.

But it couldn't be wiped clean, Xia Gehong looked at her with eyes, and tightly grabbed the corner of her clothes, as if she was afraid that she would lose it.

Gu Peijiu thought about it and said.

"do not Cry."

"ugly."

After finishing speaking, the little girl's eye circles became even redder, and after thinking about it, she added another sentence.

"But that's okay."

"Ugly will marry too."

Xia Ge: "...It's marriage!! You marry!"
