Affectionate characters can't collapse [Quick wear]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully conquering the third mission target and getting a reward of [-] points. 】

Ji Xingyun's expression was blank for a moment, and he didn't realize that the Miss Leicester he was referring to was addressing himself at the first moment. It wasn't until the system's announcement sounded that he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Although he was emotionally insensitive, it was not impossible for him not to be able to hear such straightforward subtext.

"you……"

Avoles stared at him quietly, a good face was mostly covered by the messy gauze, and there was a burning heat in the blue-black eyes, Ji Xingyun subconsciously turned his gaze away.

He stretched out his fingers to lightly touch the mask on his cheek, and his voice was a bit vague: "You don't even see my face clearly, and you don't even understand my character and temper, so you can say such things..."

Ji Xingyun paused for a moment, then continued: "Do you know there is a word called the suspension bridge effect?"

"When you meet two people who are in danger, it is very likely that you will have a good impression of each other and mistakenly think that he is the one you are destined for, but in fact this is just an illusion caused by hormones. When you encounter a crisis, your heart beats faster and you breathe faster. Haste, is not... not, is moving for the other party."

"So... your sudden affection for me is most likely due to the drawbridge effect, don't... don't be deceived by it."

Under the man's increasingly hot gaze, Ji Xingyun's scalp tingled for a while, but he still stumbled and finished speaking.

He said it as it should be with a calm face, except for some stuttering in the following words, there is no flaw, as if he really thinks so.

But in fact, only he himself knew how guilty he was when he said these words.

If the system hadn't informed him of the successful strategy, he might have been more determined, and he would have spoken more fluently and naturally.

Wordless silence permeated between the two of them, Ji Xingyun lowered his head and pulled out the grass growing on the ground, as if there was something strange about the green that had just emerged, which made him focus all his attention on it.

"May I take this as a polite refusal?"

The strength in his hands involuntarily increased, the tip of the grass was torn off by him, and the thin white fingers were stained with some sticky green juice.

Avoles picked up a white cotton cloth from the medical kit set aside and gently wiped the girl's stained fingertips.

His movements are gentle and meticulous, very polite not to touch unnecessary places.

"Your statement is very reasonable, but unfortunately, I did not feel panic and fear at that time."

He sighed lightly with a smile, and said, "What a pity, the first time I expressed my love to a girl, I was rejected."

"But... you should allow me to continue pursuing you, right?"

Ji Xingyun: "..."

Just when he didn't know how to answer, fortunately, a guard came over to interrupt the awkward atmosphere in time.

"Sir, miss, hello."

"Please don't stay in such a dangerous place, we will send someone to take you back to a safe place."

Team after team of guards came from all directions, and they separated everyone from the castle, and then sent one or two soldiers to each person, intending to escort them back safely.

"Miss is from the Leicester family? The territory of the Leicester family seems to be very far away from the main city."

It can hardly be called remote anymore, it is more accurate to use remote.

A look of embarrassment appeared on the guard's face, "Miss, do you have a place to live in the city? If you don't mind, we can also arrange a place for you in the palace."

Ji Xingyun turned his head unnaturally, even though the system had promised him that no one would recognize his identity as long as he wore a mask.

But there was still some uncontrollable tension.

"Don't bother, I... I have my own plan."

The guard said: "That's good, but for the sake of safety, let me escort you back."

Someone shouted from afar: "Captain Yaerlin, have you sent someone to check on the safety of Her Highness the Princess?"

"His Royal Highness? Shouldn't Eli be in charge? That boy Eli has already left without stopping after hearing the news. There is no need to send extra people, and besides, we can't assign extra people."

Simple words contain complex information.

Ji Xingyun's body froze, and his thoughts began to wander involuntarily.

Has someone already gone to the palace to confirm the safety of the princess?But here he was, and there was no one in the palace.

If it is found out... Maybe some other troubles will be caused.

Ji Xingyun's breathing became a little short, and he stood up from the ground in a panic, rejecting the guard's request for escort.

"I can do it by myself. You'd better take care of this gentleman. He was seriously injured and bled a lot. His face is almost disfigured."

Ji Xingyun exaggerated, saying that Avolais' injury was very serious.

His exaggerated tone successfully diverted the attention of the guards,

"what?!"

The guard walked towards Avoles, staring at his covered cheeks, his face slowly became serious.

He said in a deep voice, "It must have been a very serious injury to be wrapped up like this. Sir, don't move here, I'll send the doctor over right away!"

The bleeding had already been stopped, and Avoles thought it was just a skin trauma: "...?"

Taking advantage of the time when the two were chatting, Ji Xingyun lifted the hem of his skirt and hurriedly ran away along the side path.

He ran fast, like a light white butterfly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The moon was completely covered by the dark clouds in the sky. The appearance of the dragon should have destroyed something, causing all the lights to go wrong and not turn on.

This section of the road was extremely dark, and there were strange trees with curved branches on both sides, which filled the weird atmosphere.

If an inexplicable light suddenly appeared in front of him at this time, it would almost make the heart stop suddenly.

The chill climbed up the back, and then tightly clenched the beating heart, the speed of the blood flow seemed to slow down a bit.

What kind of will-o'-the-wisps, ghosts, and some things that science can't explain, began to circle in my mind non-stop.

Ji Xingyun searched for a long time before finding his own voice: [You... Didn't you say, didn't you say that there are no ghosts in this world? 】

System: [... Take a closer look. 】

Ji Xingyun half-closed his eyes, and confirmed again seriously.

He was a little surprised.

"Is that my shoe?"

Ji Xingyun remembered that after he lost one shoe, he threw the other one away. He didn't remember where he lost the first shoe, and he completely forgot where he threw the other one.

But now the two crystal shoes are not only together, but also neatly placed in the middle of the road.

If he remembered correctly, he did not pass this road when he came.

It was as if someone, or an unknown existence, had been following him closely, picked up his lost shoes, and put them on the only way he had to go back.

But how does "it" know that it will definitely go this way?

Is it...

Ji Xingyun turned around abruptly, behind him was pitch black, and there was nothing.

Although he didn't see anything scary, it didn't make Ji Xingyun feel relieved.

He felt more and more that this place was not like an ordinary fairy tale world.

The red-eyed devil met on the way to the banquet, the black dragon who needed a sacrifice from the princess to be safe, and now a terrifying stalker appeared.

Are you sure this isn't a horror world?

Apart from having a noble princess status, there is no other part that can fit a fairy tale.

***

It was safe to return to the palace.

Ji Xingyun didn't even have time to take off his mask, so he bumped into the ugly-faced Eli.

The knight with the sword on his waist has a handsome face, but his aura is extraordinarily powerful.

There is a lingering gloom between his long and narrow eyebrows, his eyes are dark and dark, indifferent and inaccessible at the same time a little scary.

He seemed to be in a hurry and quickly skipped over Ji Xingyun.

Then, as if he had realized something, he turned around in a daze, his gaze paused on the girl's face, he was in a daze for a moment when he touched the mask, but froze again in the next second.

"your Highness?"

It was a tone of confirmation, and the tone rose slightly because of surprise.

Ji Xingyun paused and laughed a few times: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Eli was silent for a moment, then said, "It's good that you're fine."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his facial expression softened a lot.

It was like a piece of hard ice slowly melting, putting away all sharp edges in front of the soft girl.

At the same time, there is also a little, almost imperceptible fatigue revealed.

Ji Xingyun noticed the beads of sweat on his forehead, the dirt on his cuffs, and... slightly trembling fingertips.

Eli moved his hand behind his back the moment he lowered his gaze, but Ji Xingyun still caught it.

He froze for a moment before he realized why Eli was trembling.

He whispered, "Are you here to find me?"

Eli nodded.

"Sorry to make you worry."

Seeing Eli's eyes gliding to the medal on his chest, Ji Xingyun's first reaction was to reach out to block it.

But he noticed that the man's thin lips were slightly parted, as if he was silently reciting the words above.

Annoyance flashed across Ji Xingyun's eyes. He actually forgot such an important thing, and just put it on in such a grandiose manner, and returned here.

It was telling others clearly that a majestic royal princess disguised herself as a down-and-out nobleman, not only ran outside, but also didn't know what she did and didn't come back until midnight.

It's also the system's fault that he didn't remind him to take off the medal.

system:【……? 】

Now that it has been seen, there is no need to cover up.

Ji Xingyun blinked, and lowered his voice softly: "As you can see, I sneaked out."

"You also know that three days later will be the day for me to choose a marriage partner. Of course, I hope to inspect the character and cultivation of these people."

"This investigation, um...of course you can't use your real identity, you have to come secretly."

"When they see that I am a princess, they will definitely be very cautious in my words and deeds, and they will pay special attention to their own quality and etiquette, so they won't be able to see anything."

"Then, I disguised it a little bit, um...it became what you saw."

Ji Xingyun clasped his hands together, looked straight at Eli with his beautiful eyes, and said in a soft voice: "I've said so much, you should be able to understand the belief of a... girl who wants to obtain true love, right?"

"So, can you keep a secret for me?"
