the one who lives in my body

Recently, Xie Dongrong has been apologizing much more frequently than usual.

Oh no, it should be said that Xie Dongrong has finally learned to apologize.

But how sincere is his apology?

With my eyes closed, I don't know how long the people outside have been standing there, my consciousness was foggy, and when I fell asleep, the only clear thought in my head was - I still have to move out of the dormitory as soon as possible.

I don't know who I am angry with, maybe Xie Dongrong?Or maybe it's me?Yue Mo wanted to prove himself too much, because I couldn’t stand the continuous pressure on my application, so I moved some of my things into the hotel in the park before I found the next dormitory.

To be honest, it's quite ridiculous, but when you calm down and think about it, you can come to a conclusion - just to avoid Xie Dongrong, it's true and unnecessary.

Fortunately, the hotel in the garden is not expensive, and I am not short of money. Lying on the narrow single bed, just thinking that I don't have to be on guard for Xie Dongrong's appearance all the time, my mood brightens up a lot.

This is probably the only thing I can stick to, but I am very satisfied.

Before I left, I happened to meet another roommate of mine. When he saw me carrying the suitcase, he took it for granted that I was just going out to do something. He didn't ask, so I didn't say anything, which saved the extra time. Time to explain.

It will be some time before the completion of this mech, and staying in a hotel every day is not an option, so I decided to go to the office of the elder brother who manages this matter every day, anyway, after the daily work is completed, I just happen to be on the way.

Both the elder brother and I knew that there were plenty of rooms, but the only question was whether they could let me in.

Without living in the same room, the chances of meeting Xie Dongrong and me are greatly reduced, which makes me feel refreshed, but if he came to my work place to "condolence" in the name of "inspection", naturally, I am inevitable.

That was about the third day after I moved out.

In the distance, I saw Xie Dongrong's figure on the high platform I was visiting, and Mr. Zhao was by his side without any surprises. When I looked up and saw him, his gaze pierced straight into the sky from a hundred meters away. Come on, and then he greeted Mr. Zhao, and walked towards me unhurriedly.

At this point, I can no longer avoid it.

Standing up straight, I stepped up to meet him. Xie Dongrong can behave as if nothing happened. If I learn from him, I can too.

"I didn't see you in the dormitory, so I thought you weren't in the park these days." Like a joke, Xie Dongrong said in a relaxed tone.

"Xiao Tao has never asked for leave, and has been sticking to his post." Patting me on the shoulder, Zhao Laoyue, who didn't know the truth, was thinking about explaining the mecha to Xie Dongrong.

"After all, the time in the park is limited." I tried my best to focus on the mecha for the rest of the conversation, so that Mr. Zhao could talk more. Xie Dongrong stood beside me and seemed to be listening carefully, but I knew what his real purpose was today. , His gaze was like a python, entrenched around me, making it hard to breathe.

"Uncle Zhao, I have something to say next, I want to talk to Tao Shu alone." When sending Mr. Zhao to the gate, Xie Dongrong stopped, and very directly expressed his next intention.

Standing where I was, I almost couldn't hold back my face.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao did not doubt him, and after expressing his understanding, he walked away with his back bent.

When Mr. Zhao's figure drifted away, Xie Dongrong and I almost unanimously lost face.

"There's nothing else, I'm leaving first." Turning around, I started walking, I buried my head and wanted to escape to the studio.

Xie Dongrong followed behind me, relying on the fact that someone was constructing around the mech, he grabbed my arm, "Why are you running? I have something to talk to you about."

Raising my hand to break free from his confinement, I put my hand in my trouser pocket: "Short story."

As if stunned by my attitude, staring at me, Xie Dongrong was silent for a moment, "Going to a hotel to hide from me? Actually, there is no need."

Why not?Yes, who wants to stay in a hotel when they have somewhere to live?Xie Dongrong's angry look at the child made me angry, and he twitched his lips, "After all, I failed to change the dormitory, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"...If you can't stand it, we can take it step by step." Xie Dongrong's voice was not low, and I don't know if I should be thankful that there is no one around.

Step by step?When I heard this word, I suddenly felt very ironic, "There is no gradual progress between us." Moreover, what kind of gradual progress is a person with eyes like a hungry wolf talking to me?

"...Next week, my mother is holding a family dinner. Aunt Shen will be there, and so will the doctor. My mother specifically told me to let you come." Xie Dongrong changed the subject.

"I see." I couldn't refuse the princess's invitation, but when I thought that it was almost inevitable that I would have to play a scene with Xie Dongrong again, I couldn't help but secretly felt a headache again.

"You're busy first, there are still some things to talk about after you get off work." After finishing speaking, he didn't stay too long, looked at the time, and Xie Dongrong turned and left.

I was still a little confused about what he meant, but seeing that our side was free, people soon began to ask me about the next step of the mech's work process. After a while, I squeezed this matter out of my mind.

Today's plan was completed earlier than usual. When I left the construction site and was about to go to eat the so-called "best dessert in the park" recommended by a few seniors, under the dimly lit tree not far away, I saw I saw Xie Dongrong who raised his hand and stared at the time.

The night in the capital is always colder than the day, just like his blue eyes, when he looked at them, they seemed to be wrapped in a cool wind. When he saw me, he walked over.

The seniors in the park also knew Xie Dongrong, seeing this situation, they tacitly agreed that I would leave with Xie Dongrong, so they patted me on the shoulder, saying that everyone should go ahead.

Not long after, Xie Dongrong stood in front of me, "It's on time today." He said without any superfluous expression on his face.

It was as if he often came to pick me up from get off work, I shrugged my shoulders, and I walked forward. At this moment, I realized that Xie Dongrong was by my side, and I was afraid that I would not be able to plead with the uncle who changed the dormitory as a routine. .

"What?" I asked.

"I said it, something happened."

"What's the matter?" I frowned, and then I realized that this was the only topic I had with Xie Dongrong?Although I didn't seem to have anything to say before, but at that time I would rack my brains to think of topics, and now...

"Tao Shu, we shouldn't just talk about business matters." Xie Dongrong's tone was a little teasing, as if he was teasing me again.

I didn't want to argue with him anymore, so I changed the subject, and I asked what I wanted to know: "An Boyan, did you say it?"

Xie Dongrong raised his eyebrows, "Well, he admitted it, saying that he didn't know how to talk to me." After saying that, Xie Dongrong chuckled, "It seems that it's a foregone conclusion. After An Hexuan succeeds, I'm afraid it will be unavoidable to be punished." Difficult."

"Is there any coping strategy?" I have never understood the royal partisan struggle. Faced with such a situation, I didn't know what I could do for a while.

Xie Dongrong raised his eyebrows, "Of course, it's just a matter of time." He narrowed his eyes, "We can only tear An Hexuan off the throne."

After all, they are old friends. I didn't expect Xie Dongrong to say such words so decisively, but yes, I am afraid that only in this way can we preserve the power of our family. After all, these are the most important things compared to those insignificant feelings.

"Tao Shu, do you believe me?" Xie Dongrong stopped and looked over when he came to a streetlight.

Of course, it has nothing to do with any relationship. I believed in him, and without much hesitation, I nodded, "As long as it is what you want to do, you can do it well." He has always been like this, so there is no need to doubt it.

"Tao Shu." Xie Dongrong raised his hand, and put a warm palm on my shoulder, "Actually, sometimes I'm afraid..."

"Fear?"

"I'm afraid I can't protect everyone." Xie Dongrong said with a smile, "There are not many people I can trust."

"The person I trust the most doesn't seem to want to talk to me now."

His eyes were straight, and for a moment, I felt a little cramped.

"Tao Shu, can you promise me something?" Xie Dongrong's words came very suddenly, but looking at his expression, I realized that he was trying to discuss with me very seriously.

"You said, if it is reasonable, I will consider it." I replied.

"After An Hexuan ascends the throne, he may contact you." Xie Dongrong's eyes were like a vast abyss under the sea, "If he wants to grant you a position, please don't refuse him."

My heart skipped a beat, I knew this was a big deal, maybe it was just Xie Dongrong's speculation beforehand, but if it really happened...

"Can you tell me why?" I asked calmly.

"Not counting your father's branch, the Tao family and the queen's family are quite close. A few days ago, the queen sent someone to the Tao family's mansion. It must have been planned, and your father stood on the side of the eldest prince early. side……"

I understand.

Xie Dongrong Yuemo wanted me to take the path of "insider traitor", but I never thought he would think highly of me so much.

"I'll think about it." Although I've never thought about joining any partisan struggle, since I'm already a player in the game... then I should be.

"I guess, the position he gave you may be related to the Amut people." After finishing speaking, Xie Dongrong bent his eyes, resumed his usual expression, and stepped closer.

I realized that the hotel where I was staying was almost here.

"I'm almost there, you go back first." There are many hotels around, and I don't want Xie Dongrong to know which one I live in after all.

"What? Are you afraid that I will harass you?" Xie Dongrong smiled with a slanted mouth.

I stared at him without speaking.

"If I want to know, you can't stop me." Provocatively, Xie Dongrong raised his chin.

"It's better to do less about checking people's information." This was the last sentence I said to Xie Dongrong before leaving.

After that, Xie Dongrong lost his voice.

I didn't expect that he would appear directly outside my room door two nights later, holding a small box and looking straight through the cat's eyes.

"What's the matter?" I think my tone is not very good.

"Tao Shu, you can't live in this kind of place forever." Xie Dongrong's voice didn't sound too emotional.
