Journey to the Rose

Said it was "coming out for a stroll", but Wen Kai felt that Ruan Xi came out to suffer.

What Wen Kai didn't expect was that the severity of leg-pull city was beyond imagination, and it was an unprecedented challenge before.

Here, the doors and windows of every household are wide open, the sex ratio of the population is relatively average, there is no alpha or omega, basically beta.

And they almost put the joy of life in research tricks.

Passers-by on the street came and went complicatedly, but it did not hinder them from having fun. From time to time, there were loud screams, curses, accusations, and laughter from the crowd.

"I think Li Shen should belong to this city," Wen Kai looked away, feeling a headache, "not to the cold north."

Ruan Xi was amused by him, and then stopped the sound again.

He retreated behind an inconspicuous lamp post, "How do I feel? People in this city basically don't have the consciousness to escape?"

"Maybe it's a prank."

After finishing speaking, Wen Kai squatted down and rubbed his sore legs, pointing to the notice posted on the roadside wall while rubbing, "Look, it's clearly written in black and white, but no one listens."

"Too."

Ruan Xi is getting closer? Look, the above content is quite detailed, but in this urban environment, it always feels like a joke.

The two wandered around for a while, and bought a lot of necessary daily necessities, all packed tightly in satchels.

Ruan Xi looked at Wen Kai, then at herself, and suddenly felt like a high school student who was about to go to school in the next second.

Wen Kai's stomach growled loudly, so he suggested, "Haven't everyone eaten meat for a long time? Let's go find some Roujiamo and buy it back."

The Ruan family's food has always been grand? Ruan Xi has never eaten these snacks, did you say that there are steamed buns?

Wen Kai was stunned, and asked, "Why? Steamed bun with meat?"

Ruan Xi said honestly: "Because there is a lot of meat."

Wen Kai almost lost his temper when he heard this, how hungry must he be?Let's go eat meat!So Wen Kai and Ruan Xi carefully drilled into the crowd.

The two masked and handsome people were very eye-catching, and they turned their heads very often for a while. Ruan Xi was shy, with her waist down and her head down, and she ran to the food store.

The process of buying food went smoothly, and she was not tricked. Ruan Xi bought a dozen of them in one go, saying that taking them back would definitely be enough to fill Lu Zhenghe's stomach.

Two people, one with blond hair and the other with black hair, squatted in a hidden alley with their shattered hair that hadn't been cut for a long time, eating meat buns, like two mushrooms that had been drenched in the rain.

The streets are full of people coming and going, noisy.

Suddenly, a mother and daughter on the street attracted their attention.

The daughter is not very old, she is a minor, her hair and clothes are tidy, she looks flustered, and she is walking out of the city.

The mother looks very young, maybe a little sloppy, with an unzipped backpack hanging on her back, holding her daughter in one hand, and carrying a bag full of pastries in the other.

While eating, Ruan Xi looked at them, her eyes silently resting on them, and her mood suddenly drifted away.

He remembered that when he was still a glutinous rice dumpling, when his father was not at home, his mother would secretly take him to the streets to enjoy the scenery of the market.

Ruan's family has strict management, and his mother is from the city of fairyland. She belongs to the one who should not be close to human fireworks, but her mother pursues freedom in her heart, and doesn't want Ruan Xi to be bound by rules and regulations. She often takes him to do things that Ruan Xi thinks are very Interesting thing?.

Go to the market, step on the beach, stand on the balcony of your home and count the passing ships, and be slightly intoxicated by the vastness of the ocean.

At that time, his childhood still had hope every day.

Later, when her mother passed away due to illness, Ruan Xi neglected to discipline her, and the side of her personality that most pursued self-release and stubbornness was revealed, which became a headache for the Ruan family.

The world wants to see him smile just right, and when he meets his target, he can only express his love with courtesy.

But Ruan Xi didn't want to, he wanted to be the bravest knife-wielder among the thorns.

For him, "home" is a gentle surname, a high-rise residence, and a place where loved ones exist.

"What are you thinking?" Wen Kai finished the meat bun in two or three bites, poking Ruan Xi with his elbow, "It will be cold if you don't finish it?"

"it is good……"

Just as she agreed, Ruan Xi found that the mother and daughter she had been staring at hadn't walked any more, but had suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

The woman who was a mother seemed to have fallen, and got up from the ground in a hurry, her knees and arms were torn, and she looked around in a panic.

"A prank? They don't look like locals..." Wen Kai touched the corner of his lips, "Is someone snatching them?"

"It's not just a prank anymore."

Ruan Xi's eyes were sharp enough, and she caught sight of a not-so-tall man in the crowd, carrying the bag of pastries that no one noticed, and was rushing towards the opposite direction of leaving the city.

His eyes are big, full of water, wide enough and long enough in shape, his chest is full of fire, and the tails of his eyes are raised. At first glance, he can't tell whether he is smiling or angry.

Wen Kai was about to speak, but Ruan Xi directly interrupted him: "Wen Kai, wait for me."

Without even thinking about it, Ruan Xi pulled out the small Yanling saber from behind, and the hem of her clothes swirled in an arc in the air, pointing her toes to the ground, and rushed out directly from the stone sill at the entrance of the snack shop.

Before Wen Kai had time to pack up the plastic bags after eating, Ruan Xi disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The mother and daughter just got up, and not many people paid attention to them.

This seems to be a regular occurrence.

The daughter cried a lot, and her stomach seemed to be hungry? She kept pressing her stomach with the palm of her hand.

They struggled, patted each other's ashes, tears in their eyes, wanted to rest here, but had to continue walking.

After 1 minute, Ruan Xi hurried back.

He didn't say much, just pulled the mask up? A little closer, and handed the bag of pastries back to the woman.

The woman was stunned.

Ruan Xi thought for a while, and only left a sentence "Remember to go north", and stuffed it again? A little bit of money back from shopping.Then disappeared into the crowd.

Two minutes later, he squatted back beside Wen Kai.

Is there sweat on his forehead? Probably because of nervousness.He touched the handle of the knife, and Guan Wenkai asked for it? A Roujiamo, and he finished it in five or six mouthfuls.

Ruan Xi didn't know what she was nervous about.

I always feel... When in contact with someone who is a mother, I will feel that kind of tenderness, which will remind him of the past.

He also had a mother who guarded the cubs.

As soon as Ruan Xi left, Wen Kai followed up with the guy, and naturally witnessed the whole process.

Fortunately, Ruan Xi, who has always been gentle and indifferent, didn't hurt anyone. He just drew out his long knife that made everyone feel guilty. The blade clanged and made a long sound, and he firmly threatened the robbing gangster.

However, such Ruan Xi surprised Wen Kai.

In addition to this journey, although Ruan Xi has a handsome face and a body that is not very capable and strong, she can gradually grow into a ruthless character who jumps up and down in the battle.

Ruan Xi...

Cheng also has a character, and a loser has a character, a pure heart is hidden under the cold appearance, and there is an unstoppable, straightforward and impulsive desperate energy.

Did the young master find the treasure?

At the same time, Wen Kai is also different from ordinary people.

He can be the "brain" in the army, so he naturally has his advantages.

If it was Li Shen, he would definitely ask, why are you so concerned about this all of a sudden?But Wen Kai is different.

"Would you like some drinks?"

Wen Kai pointed to a small stall selling liquor next to him, "I can still have another roujiamo."

Ruan Xi waved: "Buy."

Wen Kai bought? Two bottles of wine came back, they were packed in plastic bottles, they looked similar to mineral water, when the bottle cap was unscrewed, the soaring smell of wine made Ruan Xi squint her eyes, and she suddenly wanted to take a sip to make herself feel better .

In the past, Ruan Xi had been alone with Lu Zhenghe, and had never talked with Lu Zhenghe's subordinates like this.

It was only evening now.

The sun disappeared, the air was stuffy, and the wind brought dark clouds that covered the sky like fog.

"cheers."

Wen Kai also seemed to want to drink some wine, so he took a bite of Roujiamo to drink, touched the bottle with Ruan Xi, raised his head and took a sip of the wine, scalding his throat, wrinkled his eyebrows, and coughed several times.

Holding the mouth of the bottle, Ruan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Have you ever drunk?"

"I haven't drunk much. We have a ban on alcohol." Wen Kai wiped the wine stains from the corners of his lips with his fingertips. drink."

Ruan Xi clamped the mouth of the wine bottle with two fingers, and he had already swallowed half of the wine in one gulp.

As soon as he met wine, the temperament revealed on his body was different?

He squinted his eyes, with a relaxed expression on his face, tapped the bottle with his fingertips, and smiled at Wen Kai: "You seem to be real.name.report.report."

"That's not..."

Wen Kai also laughed, and his eyes wandered around the street a few times aimlessly, watching the burning clouds fade away and the sky darken.

He said: "You snatched it back just now, like a knight. Otherwise, the mother and daughter would have been hungry for a long time. They don't seem to be locals. They fled here? They probably don't have much money. There is no food to buy in the next city and the next city."

After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Xi's eyes darkened.

Then he gave the answer Wen Kai was curious about and wanted to hear: "My mother... didn't die from the ground fission in Ablaze City. She passed away when I was very young?"

"So you can't tolerate the scene just now?"

"Yes. It's not easy for a woman with a child."

As Ruan Xi spoke, her Adam's apple slipped a few times, and she continued: "When I was young, my family didn't let me go out to get in touch with the outside world very much. They wanted me to keep a sense of mystery and were afraid that something would happen to me. But this kid is very playful, The more I go to the gate, the more I want to go crazy, every time I see other children in groups, I am so envious when I lie alone in front of the window."

Wen Kai didn't expect the Ruan family to overly "protect" the rumored Ruan Xi to such a crazy level, nodded, took a sip of wine, and continued to listen to him.

"My mother is from Wonderland City."

Laughing? Laughing, Ruan Xi didn’t understand how she inherited that “immortal energy” so uniquely, “So she has never had much contact with the outside world since she was a child, and has been kept in a cage made of gold. like a bird. So she doesn't want me to be like that."

Wen Kai nodded.

He had no parents since he was a child, he was raised in the lecture hall since he was born, and when he was a little older, he was sent to the army to work hard, so he really couldn't empathize with Ruan Xi's experience.

He asked, "Is the freedom you want now?"

At sunset, the clouds are red.

The last rays of the sun fell into Ruan Xi's eyes.

"Yes," Ruan Xi blinked, and the luster was shaken off from the eyelashes, "but when the purpose of my advancement is just to live, freedom doesn't matter anymore. But now I slowly realize that I am I want you to live too."

Wen Kai understood.

Ruan Xi, who has always been a maverick, has already developed a sense of teamwork after getting along for a period of time.

"Where is the young master?" Wen Kai couldn't drink very much, his face flushed, "Is the young master the one you want?"

Unexpectedly, he asked so bluntly, Ruan Xi couldn't help sobering up? After a few seconds of serious thinking, he said, "He is."

He always has been.

Ruan Xi didn't know whether Wen Kai knew about Lu Zhenghe's past, but he felt that no secret could escape Wen Kai's eyes.There is like a spring full of illusions, always stirring up water.

Wen Kai said: "That's pretty good. Li Shen and I have always believed that the young master really likes you?"

"why?"

"He has a lot of humanity. He'll get angry, worry, show childishness that he didn't show before, and even leave you with the chance to survive a lot of the time."

Thinking of the long and narrow wound on Lu Zhenghe's back, and the scene where Wen Kai picked out the wooden thorns inside one by one with tweezers, Ruan Xi's heart ached.

He said, "Like this time in the cellar?"

"Correct."

Wen Kai said, "There's... there are many more. What do you need? Find out slowly, instead of just thinking about liking him from the beginning, but forgetting? He also likes you?"

Ruan Xi frowned: "At first?"

"Well," Wen Kai was very smart, and knew that since the two sides had chatted, there was nothing to say, "From the first day we met, I felt that your feelings for the young master were very special. "

"Li Shen also thinks so?"

"Yes, do you still remember?" Wen Kai said, "You thought Li Shen was the one who attacked him, and you just drew a knife and almost cut Li Shen in two. He wondered at that time, how could someone be so aggressive? Strong? Then I found out that you are still relatively indifferent to everything around you. There is only one reason why you have an aggressive mentality, and that is that you have someone you want to protect."

I don't know if it was seen through, or the alcohol content was too high, Ruan Xi's ears were as red as the sunset and turned into butterflies, and stayed on them.

He didn't respond directly to Wen Kai's words, but only said: "For a person like me who can't express, if there is someone who can do the same thing as me and have the same goal... I will be very happy? .”

"Then you are already very happy?" Wen Kai smiled, "Efforts will always pay off."

Ruan Xi sighed and said, "Love cannot be obtained through hard work."

Wen Kai nodded, lowered his eyes, and said, "Love is indeed very unfair. Some people have struggled for it? It's been a long time, and some people do it easily."

Dusk was over, and it was raining in leg-pull city.

The lights on the side of the road and the rain came obliquely, falling from the sky, like bright sharp arrows piercing into the ground.

At this time, Ruan Xi realized that Wen Kai even had golden eyelashes... so delicate that he hardly looked like an alpha.

"Actually, feelings are not equal. There is always someone who loves more. I am also very glad that I am that person." Ruan hoped for the rain until the surrounding scene became more and more blurred.

There will always be a four-year gap between him and Lu Zhenghe.

But if you think about it, it's not important to Ruan Xi anymore.

Today, he has long wanted to understand that the past is the prologue, and the future is the place to go.

"Let's go," Ruan Xi took the last sip, and grabbed Wen Kai's bottle, "You don't want it? Drink it?"

Wen Kai folded his arms and sat there motionless.

He seems to be a little drunk? The red ears exposed in the golden hair are very eye-catching.

He seemed unwilling to trouble an omega to take care of him, not to mention that this omega was the young master's husband.

He leaned on the wall on the side of the road, barely standing still, and he didn't want to hide from the rain.

From the street to the building, the drizzle was falling heavily and forcefully, and it soon coated Wen Kai's golden hair with water.

Ruan Xi had no choice but to squat down and pat himself on the back, "Come up."

"Huh?" Wen Kai squinted at him, and became short-sighted when he was drunk.

"I'll carry you back," Ruan Xi said.

Is Wen Kai drunk? You are not welcome, the temper of wanting to do something came out of his character, he just said "thank you", stretched his arms and lay on Ruan Xi's back.

Ruan Xi stood up with difficulty, walking still unsteadily.But Wen Kai was lighter than he imagined.

I don't know the way back, so Ruan Xi needs Wen Kai to guide me.

In order to prevent Wen Kai from falling asleep, Ruan Xi had to keep looking for topics: "Don't keep talking about me? Let's talk about you. What do you do in the Northern League?"

"...a great strategist."

"Really?"

"I, I'm actually doing propaganda," Wen Kai said clearly, "It's about invigorating the army. Heart, the kind of propaganda who is so good... Later, because of my good brain, strong memory and insight , was transferred to the headquarters, and made suggestions with the young master."

"And then? Why did you follow him to the south to pick me up??"

The corner of Wen Kai's lips curled up, mysteriously: "Li Shen and I are both his confidantes, the young master cannot live without us."

Ruan Xi was a little puzzled.

Because in terms of military strength, Wen Kai and Li Shen are not at the same level at all. In terms of understanding of the 26 land cities, Wen Kai is very powerful, but Lu Zhenghe also knows some generalities.

While thinking quickly, Wen Kai suddenly said, "Actually, I asked to come."

"You take the initiative?"

"Well, without me," Wen Kai's voice became smaller and smaller, "Young Master will be stupid to death by Li Shen..."

His tail draws very long, his tone is sticky, and he seems to be falling asleep in the next second.

When Ruan Xi heard this sentence, she felt that it was wrong. Apart from being a little impulsive, Li Shen was quite smart.But he was still so delighted by Wen Kai that he wanted to get under the tree.

He was about to give Wen Kai a thumbs-up, but found that the person on his back was still? He was breathing evenly, so he should have fallen asleep.

It's over?

Do you want to find your own way?

Thinking about it, Ruan Xi bent down and moved her arms vigorously to hold Wen Kai back more firmly.

Ruan Xi was no longer disgusted by being pressed against the body of someone he had never had close contact with. He was surprised that he had developed a relationship with them that was similar to that of comrades-in-arms.

It's still raining.

·

The next day, Ruan Xi woke up very early?

He didn't quite remember how he came back yesterday. He carried Wen Kai on his back in the rain, and walked through it by memory? Two streets, and met Li Shen who came out to look for them.

Li Shen said, seeing Ruan Xi carrying Wen Kai on his back, his heart almost stopped beating?

It was raining, and he couldn't see clearly, thinking that the two had gone through? What kind of battle.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Zhenghe smelled alcohol on the two of them, frowned, and turned his probing eyes to Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi shrugged and said that she was in a good mood, so she drank together? A little bit, the result? I didn't expect Wen Kai to be so incapable of drinking.

After waking up in the morning, Ruan Xi went to Wen Kai's room to see him.

Wen Kai woke up? Then he returned to his original state, very polite, looking at Ruan Xi with guilt, feeling that he hadn't protected him well.

Ruan Xi leaned into his ear and whispered: "Let's have a drink together when you have time. Don't let Li Shen and the others hear."

Wen Kai smiled? Laughed, looked at him for a few seconds, and nodded.

But having said that, the leg-pull city is really too difficult for Ruan Xi?

He couldn't even tell whether Wen Kai's drinking like that was caused by alcohol, or because of a prank.

In the morning, Lu Zhenghe got up at 06:30 as usual?

At around nine o'clock, he woke up Ruan Xi and made some orange juice for Ruan Xi.

After washing and returning, Ruan Xi drank it in one gulp, almost choking her trachea, coughing until her face and neck turned red, and all her facial features were crowded into a pile.

Ruan Xi choked so hard that tears overflowed, and her eyes were red: "Did you put salt?"

"I don't have any," Lu Zhenghe said innocently, "I put the candy."

"It's really salty..."

Ruan Xi muttered, "Don't you just like to see you wearing leg socks, as for revenge on me like this?"

"..."

Lu Zhenghe's face turned blue and then pale, pretending to stare at him: "We don't want to mention that matter again?"

"I……"

When Ruan Xi was on the verge of speaking, she hadn't finished the three words "I'm going to say", when she suddenly felt her lips were cool, as if there was some liquid.

He opened his mouth slightly, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, his whole body trembled from the numbness of the taste, the coolness pierced straight into his central nervous system like a sharp sword.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhenghe saw that his expression was not right.

"wind……"

Ruan Xi opened her mouth, not daring to close it, leaning against the table and grabbing tissue boxes, "Wind... Fengyoujing..."

Lu Zhenghe didn't stretch his cool mask this time, and laughed out loud "puchi".

"What's so funny!"

Knowing that he was gloating, Ruan Xi was so angry that he stopped looking for toilet paper, rushed over and grabbed Lu Zhenghe, who was helpless due to the injury, and grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Lu Zhenghe couldn't stand firmly, and he didn't have enough strength, so he sat down on the bed.

The mattress was so soft that he needed to push his hands back for support.

Ruan Xi was condescending and pinched his chin with strong movements and strength.

Ruan Xi frowned, viciously, as if about to bow: "Blessed and shared, what is the next sentence?"

"It's difficult to be the same."

As soon as Lu Zhenghe finished speaking, his lips were kissed by Ruan Xi?

But Ruan Xi just kissed? He let go for a few seconds, then stepped back a few steps, afraid of being beaten, standing by the table and smiling very happily.

Lu Zhenghe propped himself on the bed with one hand, with one free hand, his thumb brushed the corner of his lips, his eyes were blinded by the smell of wind oil, but he was still infected by Ruan Xi, and he smiled with restraint.

Well, that's the point of pranking.
