Dedicated every day to make Master go crazy

Chapter 40: Modern End Times 2.10

The sky is slowly getting brighter.

quarter past 6.

Mrs. Lin was circling around the stairs, while looking back at the wall clock in the living room from time to time.

It's already this time, I heard that there will be a distinguished guest at the base today, they seem to be Gu Zhichuan's former friends, Gu Zhichuan promised to meet in person when he just came back yesterday.

Counting the time, it's almost time for Gu Zhichuan to get up now.

Aunt Lin thought so, and couldn't help lowering her head nervously to pinch her fingers.

Her heart is in a mess now, various images flashed through her mind one by one, and in the end even she didn't know what she was thinking right now.

Xie Jingtong asked her to go to bed earlier last night, but how could Mrs. Lin sleep?

After Xie Jingtong went upstairs, Aunt Lin returned to the living room for some reason.

This time she didn't even turn on the floor lamp, just sat on the sofa in a daze, staring at the glasses still placed on the tea table in a daze.

The sound insulation of this villa is actually not very good, and the door of Gu Zhichuan's room may not be closed very tightly.

Mrs. Lin was sitting downstairs when she heard whimpering and crying gradually coming from upstairs.

One after another, the cry was very soft, like the low cry of a kitten before death, low and hoarse, completely contained in the throat.

so sad.

It was clearly not a heart-piercing cry, but for some reason, it made people listen to it...the heart slowly wrinkled into a ball, and I couldn't help crying.

The cries rang out almost all night.

But when it was less than 4 o'clock in the morning, it suddenly stopped for no reason.

Aunt Lin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the crying stopped, but then she realized that she might have relieved too soon.

The crying stopped, but the affairs in the room were obviously not over yet.

As soon as Xie Jingtong's crying stopped, the other movements that were not so obvious because of the covering of the crying, and which were deliberately ignored by her, became much more obvious in an instant.

Those sounds... made Aunt Lin's heart crinkle even more.

The sudden cessation of crying made Mrs. Lin extremely worried, and kept thinking in her mind why Xie Jingtong suddenly had no voice.

Did something happen suddenly...something he couldn't bear?

Aunt Lin sat on the sofa blankly, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles for a while.

Tonight is the full moon, she looked at the bright moon outside the window, and for some reason suddenly remembered some things from a long time ago.

Mrs. Lin is an old man of the Gu family, and the Gu family and the Xie family are family friends, so she is actually very familiar with Xie Jingtong.

The day Xie Jingtong was born was also a full moon.When he was just born, the Xie family and the Gu family were neighbors.

When Xie Jingtong was one year old, the Gu family's parents went to the birthday party, and she went with them.

Xie Jingtong was born prematurely. When he was born, he was thin and small, like a doll carved from jade.

He has fair skin and black hair since he was a child, and he didn't cry when he was a baby. When someone came to see him, he would look at the person with a pair of black pearl-like eyes. His eyes were very lively, but he didn't smile much. .

The whole person was quiet, and the guests who came to the birthday party smiled and complimented, saying that the young master of the Xie family has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, he looks noble, he is a born master, and he is also a month old. Those who are born at the time of roundness must be consummated throughout their lives.

The old man of the Xie family was superstitious, and specially invited a master to test Xie Jingtong's handwriting.

Mrs. Lin still remembers what the master said at that time. He said that Xie Jingtong was "blessed by heaven, and life is precious".

"Blessed by God, life is precious"...

So how come... to such a situation now?

Mrs. Lin was thinking messily in her mind, the door of the room that had been closed all night suddenly opened.

Aunt Lin was startled, but in the next second she stood up abruptly as if she had been winded up suddenly.

Gu Zhichuan came out from the door.

The man was still wearing a military uniform, and when he opened the door, he was still adjusting the cuffs on his wrist with his head down.

The man's brows are cold and indifferent, he is dressed in a military uniform, clean and dignified.

Seeing Mrs. Lin standing at the top of the stairs, Gu Zhichuan was obviously taken aback.

He paused, then lowered his eyes, and ordered as usual: "Go in and clean the room later."

Mrs. Lin nodded in a daze, and opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Zhichuan went down the stairs without looking back, changed her shoes, opened the door and went out.

Aunt Lin was stunned in place, and then suddenly realized that she hadn't prepared breakfast for Gu Zhichuan today.

Gu Zhichuan didn't even mention it.

Originally, Gu Zhichuan's request was to let her go in and tidy up the room "after a while", but Mrs. Lin hesitated at the door for a while, but finally couldn't restrain her worry, and opened the door almost after Gu Zhichuan left. .

The interior was indeed a mess.

Aunt Lin glanced over the debris and sporadic blood all over the floor in a hurry, and looked anxiously at the bed in the middle of the room.

Seeing this, he was stunned.

To her surprise, Xie Jingtong was awake.

Not only awake, but the man has even got dressed.

He seemed to have washed it before, Xie Jingtong was wearing a clean light blue shirt, and the button of the shirt had been buttoned up to the top button properly.

He seemed to have just taken a bath, with moist and clean eyebrows under the wet black hair, the eyebrows were cold, and the slightly drooping eyelashes were as thick and black as the tail feathers of a phoenix.

The curtains on the side have been opened, and the sun shines in, casting a layer of light around the man's body.

Clean, bright, spotless, as she had seen countless times before.

Before Aunt Lin came in, Xie Jingtong was lowering his eyes, he raised his hand, and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand expressionlessly, with a lot of force.

Mrs. Lin knocked on the door when she came in, so when she came in, she happened to see Xie Jingtong raise his eyes and look at her.

Those eyes were as black as ink, as if they had absorbed all the dark colors in the world.

Obviously at the moment, the room is full of sunlight, but it seems that none of it shines into his eyes.

Dark to the point of being... overbearing.

Even if the end of her eyes is still a little red with emotion, it can't conceal the aloofness that seems to be engraved in her bones.

Mrs. Lin stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, before the end of the world, Xie Jingtong was still in charge of the Xie family.

Once she was ordered by the Gu family to go to Xie's house to find him, and Xie Jingtong was dealing with official business at that time.

At that time, he was the same as now. He was obviously sick and weak, but his back was straight. He looked at the documents in his hand, his eyes were dark and arrogant, as if he was an emperor sitting on a throne.

Xie Jingtong is naturally not like Gu Zhichuan.

In terms of physical strength, he is indeed too weak to be vulnerable.

But spiritually and intellectually, he is so powerful that no one can beat him.

For some reason, Aunt Lin let go of what she had been holding on to all along.

She remembered the crying that stopped suddenly at 4:[-] in the morning.

At that time, she worried that the sudden cessation of crying was because Xie Jingtong really couldn't bear it. Now that she thought about it, it was clear that there was no reason for him to cry.

Later, when Xie Jingtong awakened his supernatural power and became another king in the last days, the others were all amazed, they couldn't believe that this man who was once just the "plaything" of City Lord Gu could have such ability.

Only Mrs. Lin had a feeling of "it is so" in her heart at the moment when she heard the news.

It is said that supernatural powers are nothing but the energy of the human soul.

Then Xie Jingtong should naturally be the most powerful person with supernatural powers in the world.

Because his soul is so powerful that no one can match it.

Even if you have fallen into the dust, it can't change this.

Xie Jingtong has always been a king.

It always has been.

*****

At noon, Xie Jingtong went to the treatment center.

Gu Zhichuan had already delivered the medicine in the morning, and when Xie Jingtong came, Su Yong had already used up the medicine for the first time.

Su Yue obviously adapted well to the new medicine, without any allergic or rejection reactions.

When Xie Jingtong came, she was sitting on the hospital bed peeling apples to eat.

Seeing Xie Jingtong, Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to greet Xie Jingtong: "Jing Tong, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you all morning. Hurry up, Hurry up, today City Lord Gu came to deliver medicine, and he even brought a lot of fruit. I've been waiting for you to eat."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the table and found a peach: "I remember Xiao Tong said that he likes to eat peaches, but I purposely resisted eating them. Here, I've washed them all, and I'll peel them for you later."

Su Yue laughed: "Master Xie is delicate and expensive, let me help you with this kind of work."

Xie Jingtong did not enter the room immediately.

The man stood by the door and looked at Su Yue. His eyes were dark and hard to see clearly, but they were as gentle as water and lingering.

Su Yue didn't notice his strangeness.

The woman lowered her head while peeling the skin, and chatted with Xie Jingtong about something else. After talking for a while, she realized that she hadn't heard Xie Jingtong's answer, so she looked up at him.

Su Yue glanced at Xie Jingtong, but was stunned by his eyes at this time, and then couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong, you look at me like that?"

Xie Jingtong saw her smile, so he smiled with her.

Xie Jingtong was born soft, and the way he smiled was extremely gentle and touching.

His eyes were curled up, and his smile was even a little childish.

Xie Jingtong walked over, and slowly bent over to hug her, with a soft voice.

His voice was very hoarse, even to the point of hoarseness, but because of his gentle tone, he was still extremely moving: "I miss my sister."

Su Yue was taken aback by her embrace, but she was used to getting close to Xie Jingtong, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, only that Xie Jingtong seemed to be very clingy at the moment.

Su Yue patted Xie Jingtong's shoulder with a smile, her tone was helpless but with a smile: "Didn't we just meet last night, what are you thinking about?"

Xie Jingtong hugged her, the man seemed a little tired, and slowly closed his eyes.

If Su Yong at that time could look at him seriously, he should be able to see the bruises and scars in Xie Jingtong's eyes.

Xie Jingtong: "Probably because of my sister, I...haven't seen you for a day, like three autumns."

When Xie Jingtong said this, his tone was heavy, as if it contained some other meaning.

But Su Yue didn't hear it.

In fact, she has always treated Xie Jingtong as a younger brother who has not grown up, but now that Xie Jingtong is hugging her and talking in her ear, Su Yong can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Xie Jingtong is already very tall, a boy who is 1.8 meters tall, saying such words in your ear with a deep magnetic voice... It is really not something a normal woman can resist.

Su Yue's ears couldn't help but turn red.

With a low cough, she pushed Xie Jingtong away, and glared at Xie Jingtong: "You're still acting like a baby with me when you're so old."

As he spoke, he stuffed the peeled peaches into Xie Jingtong's hands: "Eat."

Xie Jingtong took the peach obediently, lowered his head and gnawed it, and after taking a bite, he raised his head and said to Su Yue with a smile, "It's so sweet."

Su Yue also smiled with him: "Sweet is good, I specially left it for you."

Su Yue lowered her head and took a few bites of the apple in her hand as she spoke.

She hadn't eaten such fresh fruit for a long time before today.

This sip actually made her want to cry.

But Su Yue never liked to show her vulnerable side in front of Xie Jingtong, so she held back her tears, raised her head and said to Xie Jingtong in a very normal tone: "I really wish I could eat fruit every day... Blame me before the end of the world." I didn't cherish it when I was young, and I always refused to eat the fruit my parents prepared."

As she spoke, she smiled and changed the topic: "Xiao Tong's family was so rich before the end of the world, he must have eaten a lot of fruits that I have never eaten. Let me open my sister's eyes by telling me."

In fact, before the end of the world, the conditions of Su Yue's family were not bad, whether it was imported or precious fruits, she said that now, obviously she just wanted to make Xie Jingtong talk more.

She vaguely felt that Xie Jingtong's state at this time was not right.

Xie Jingtong also knew that he didn't want to expose her, but just followed Su Yong's words and slowly told her about his previous life.

The Xie family's family has a great career, and the young master of the Xie family naturally lived a life of luxury and wealth.

Su Yue listened, and she was really envious. She smiled and said, "If only I knew you back then, Xiaotong will definitely let me taste the noble feeling of being praised by everyone."

She just said it casually, but Xie Jingtong paused when he heard the words.

Seeing that he didn't speak suddenly, Su Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she had hit Xie Jingtong's sore spot.

That's right, Xie Jing, the person in power of a big family, suddenly fell into the current situation, even if he didn't say it, he must... can't accept it in his heart, right?

Su Yue panicked, searching for words in her mind, thinking about how to comfort Xie Jingtong.

For a long time, he could only say hey hey: "But it's pretty good now. My Xiaotong is so good, so he can do it now."

Xie Jingtong was silent for a long time before speaking.

The man's voice was soft and gentle.

"Well." He said, "I will protect my sister no matter what the end of the world is."

Even though I have lost everything I once had, even though I have nothing at this moment, I will definitely protect you.

I want you to be free from disease and disaster, I want you to be free from worries, I want you to be innocent and flawless, and I want you to be a lotus flower every step of the way.

What I can give you before the end of the world, I want to give it to you after the end of the world.

because you are so good...

Because you are so good...

*****

There are new valuable guests at the base, and it stands to reason that there should be a welcome dinner tonight.

But because the people who came this time were really familiar with Gu Zhichuan, they changed the dinner to a small meal.

Only Gu Zhichuan's closest subordinates and new guests participated.

Usually there are various dinner parties in the base, but Gu Zhichuan never asked Xie Jingtong to attend.

This time, for some reason, Xie Jingtong was asked to go.

Xie Jingtong knew that he couldn't refuse, so when the time came, he said goodbye to Su Yong and walked towards the destination that Gu Zhichuan had told him in advance.

There are not many places to eat in the base of the last days, and there are even fewer high-end places that can be used to entertain guests.

Xie Jingtong lived in the base for a year, but it was his first time here.

The service staff at the door seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago, and they were waiting at the door early.

Seeing Xie Jingtong coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and walked in with Xie Jingtong.

This hotel should have been a high-end hotel before the end of the world, and it was full of splendor and splendor along the way.

One can tell at a glance that the consumption here is definitely not affordable for ordinary people without supernatural powers.

When Xie Jingtong walked into the box, the people inside seemed to have started a round of dining.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Xie Jingtong was stunned when he opened the door and saw the so-called guest inside.

The man was about 25 or [-] years old. His curly hair was dyed blond and was draped softly behind him. His face was charming and charming, but when he raised his eyes, there was a bit of heroism.

It's Lu Shiran.

Before the apocalypse, the Xie family and the Gu family were naturally one of the best big families in the country. Compared to them, the Lu family may be a bit inferior, but they are also big families that no one in the country would dare to mess with.

The successor of this generation of the Lu family is a woman named Lu Shiran.

She is not the only child of the Lu family's generation, but she is definitely the most powerful descendant of the Lu family's generation.

His scheming and methods are much better than those of his brothers and sisters of the same race, so he was rejected by the previous generation of people in power and became the heir.

Lu Shiran, Gu Zhichuan, and Xie Jingtong are also old acquaintances. There are actually only a few of the top big families in the country. The three of them can be said to have known each other since childhood and grew up together.

But Lu Shiran has always had a better relationship with Gu Zhichuan.

It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it's just that Miss Lu herself is carefree, and she gets along better with Gu Zhichuan.

Before the apocalypse, the Lu family was engaged in the real business, and had saved a lot of supplies. In addition, after the apocalypse, Lu Shiran also awakened a good ability, and his level was not low, so he did well in the apocalypse.

Coming to the northern base at this time should be to discuss cooperation with Gu Zhichuan.

Lu Shiran was also very surprised to see Xie Jingtong here suddenly.

She knew that Xie Jingtong had been in poor health since he was a child, and hadn't heard any news of him having supernatural powers since the end of the world. Lu Shiran always thought that Xie Jingtong was dead. Looking for Xie Jingtong.

The relationship between the two was actually not that good.

When Lu Shiran saw Xie Jingtong, he was about to say something, but he heard Gu Zhichuan beside him suddenly speak.

The man's voice was cold, seemingly careless, Gu Zhichuan said to Xie Jing, "Come here."

Xie Jingtong stood at the door and looked at Gu Zhichuan for a while, pursed his lips, and walked over slowly.

Seeing that Xie Jingtong was obedient, the corners of Gu Zhichuan's lips twitched. When Xie Jingtong came to him and stood still, the man raised his head and looked at Xie Jingtong: "Sit."

Everyone present was stunned.

Although this hotel is luxurious, in fact, for the sake of spaciousness, there are not many chairs. There are a total of eight people here, and the seats happen to be full.

Where is there room for Xie Jing to sit together?

But looking at what Gu Zhichuan meant, it was clearly not like asking the waiter to add another chair.

It's more like...

Lu Shiran frowned, feeling that Gu Zhichuan's behavior at this time was a bit like the kind of dude who asked Xie Jingtong to sit on his lap.

However, the meaning of the dude doing this is to belittle the beauty he wants to molest, why Gu Zhichuan...

Xie Jingtong didn't move.

He stood there staring at Gu Zhichuan for a long time, his eyes darkened, Lu Shiran almost thought that he was going to throw the table in anger, but Xie Jingtong did not.

He just lowered his eyes slowly, and seemed to be smiling, with some inexplicable self-deprecating meaning.

Then she actually listened to Gu Zhichuan's words and sat down on Gu Zhichuan's lap.

Not only Lu Shiran, but everyone present widened their eyes in shock.

They are all old subordinates of the Gu family, so naturally they don't know Xie Jingtong.

The person in charge of the Xie family used to be a noble figure like a god in the sky, and it is said that he has a very arrogant temperament.

how now...

Others reacted greatly, but Xie Jingtong didn't seem to notice at all, he just looked up at Gu Zhichuan.

His eyes were really cold, as if he didn't pay attention to anything.

Seeing him like this, Gu Zhichuan actually smiled.

He stretched out his hand to pinch Xie Jingtong's chin, stared at him for a while, and then kissed him directly.

Gu Zhichuan tasted the taste of peaches in Xie Jingtong's mouth at the moment.

It's so sweet it makes people linger.

The house was eerily quiet for a while.

Lu Shiran got close, and clearly saw that Xie Jingtong's opened eyes trembled violently at that moment.

A moist light flashed in the man's eyes very quickly, as if... he was about to cry.

But then he lowered his eyes, and returned to that flat, resigned look.
