[Journey to the West] The male protagonist is under a lot of pressure

"..."

"Because of the Great Sage, look, I remember that you used to come to me," Chai Xi added after seeing Sun Wukong's speechless expression. She just wanted to move her hand to the position below her chest, and took a closer look at Monkey King. After looking at him, he forcibly raised his hand to the height of his chin, "As a result, you are now... actually half a head taller than me."

Sun Wukong, of course, refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death: "No, my old grandson's height has not changed, this is all your illusion."

"...Yes," after thinking for a moment, Chai Xi decided to give the other party a step down, "I remember wrongly, you were so tall, Great Sage."

I don't know why, after she said that, the face of the Great Sage turned a little worse.

"Wu Xing, answer my question just now." However, he did not continue to entangle the issue of height, but continued the topic just now, "I heard from others that Zhen Yuanzi proposed that you stay in the Wuzhuang Temple? Then how did you answer him?"

"I told him—" Chai Xi was about to tell the whole thing, she sensed something was wrong, so she stopped talking, "It's not right, Great Sage, who did you listen to?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

He lowered his head again, forcing her to turn her head subconsciously. Only then did Chai Xi realize that the postures of the two seemed a little ambiguous. Just as she was trying to avoid it in a hurry, another furry dog ​​appeared on her shoulder. Her hand seemed to be light, but it made her unable to move.

He is very close to her.

After clearly realizing this fact, the temperature on Chai Xi's face suddenly rose, she had no way to avoid the other party's approach, she could only look into his eyes, and then saw her face full of embarrassment in his eyes .

Chai Xi: "..."

"In this case, then you don't have to worry about whether I want to stay or not," she rolled her eyes, feeling that it was very embarrassing to be questioned like this, so she simply continued, "Obviously from the beginning, from the beginning It’s me who insists on going to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures by your side—”

"...Obviously I'm useless for anything, and I'm not as good at fighting as you. Even a white dragon horse can be used as a mount." Chai Xi lowered his voice, and even cried a little, "From the very beginning, I It’s just holding you back, this time it’s just a coincidence, but in fact it has no practical effect at all.”

"me……"

She opened her mouth, feeling that the corners of her eyes were a little wet, and she didn't know what else she wanted to say.Perhaps because of the influence of Monkey King's action, Chaixi just blurted out all the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart. Now she didn't dare to look at the other person's expression at all, and just lowered her head self-consciously.

What did the Great Sage think of her?

Chai Xi thought so, but only this sentence could not be uttered, it was stuck in her throat, making her unable to breathe.

They both fell into silence, and after a while, Sun Wukong's voice sounded very unhappy: "You can only decide whether to stay or not, and the old sun can't force you to do anything. The ginseng fruit meeting will be in half an hour. Whether you come or not has nothing to do with Lao Sun."

As he said that, he also let go of his hand, and Chai Xi was still leaning against the bedpost like that, and she felt a little weak in her body.

"However, if you want to stay," he said in a rather cold tone, "I'm afraid you don't care about the ginseng fruit meeting in a while, and Zhen Yuanzi should not be so stingy with you. Anyway, my grandson I will not accompany you."

Monkey King fled away, almost knocking over the cup of tea on the table.

Looking at his back, Chai Xi exhaled slowly, and as Monkey King's figure disappeared outside the door, she almost became so weak that she could no longer stand leaning against the bedpost.She was about to slide and sit on the floor, when she suddenly remembered that the bed was reinforced, and she was not afraid of her sitting on it.

...really.

Sitting on the bed, Chai Xi sighed again.

When is this, she can still think of this kind of thing.

She looked at the ceiling at a loss, and leaned against the bedpost. The tears that had reached the corners of her eyes were forced back by Chai Xi, which made her eyes a little swollen.She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted from Sun Wukong, but undoubtedly what he said before he left was the last thing she wanted to hear.

In the end, it was clear that she thought that as long as she could be with the other party, she was becoming more and more greedy, and it was hopeless.

In fact, if the Great Sage could say "I hope she doesn't stay"...

—but he didn't.

Chai Xi calmed down her breathing, but she didn't achieve the effect she wanted. She simply stood up and took the teacup that was already full of tea, and took a few sips of tea before she turned back. Come on, I noticed... something is not right.

She looked down at the teacup.

Chai Xi looked at the teapot still on the table and the other unused teacups that were neatly placed, and felt that her hands were trembling a little, so she quickly put the teacup back, trying to pretend that there was nothing wrong with it. didn't happen.However, she was the only one in this room, and doing so was nothing more than deceiving herself.

She covered her face with her hands, but in doing so, she only made her fingertips feel uncharacteristically hot.

Can't think any more.

After Chaixi finally adjusted her mood and got rid of the emotions that upset her, almost 10 to [-] minutes had passed.The teacup that she misused was still put there by her, it looked... as if nothing had happened.Just as Chaixi was about to reach out to pick it up and wash it, he heard a light knock on the door in front of the room.

"Girl," it was Zhen Yuanzi's voice, "The ginseng fruit fair is almost ready, why don't you come out and have a chat with Pindao?"

She took several deep breaths, looked in the mirror to confirm that her expression was normal, and then opened the door.

"Good morning, Great Immortal." In fact, Chaixi slept so darkly that she couldn't tell the time at all, but based on what Sun Wukong said earlier and the current level of light, she probably inferred that it was still in the morning, so she smiled at Zhen Yuanzi , "I heard that you, Daxian, were busy all night yesterday, why don't you take advantage of this time to rest for a while, so you can enjoy yourself after a while."

Even though Chaixi was not in a good mood, she still replied kindly to Zhen Yuanzi who seemed to have done nothing wrong, but she felt that her rejection was already quite obvious.

However, Zhen Yuanzi still maintained that calm smile: "It doesn't matter, after the ginseng fruit meeting, it's time to go west."

Chai Xi understood what he meant, nothing more than to let her make a decision as soon as possible.

If there hadn't been such a thing with Sun Wukong before, and now Zhen Yuanzi came to her again, she must have rejected him with the excuse she had already thought up.But now, Chai Xi felt angry, even though she didn't really want to stay, the words of refusal were not as easy as she imagined.

"Speaking of which, the situation in the temple... the girl hasn't seen it much before." Apparently seeing her hesitation, Zhen Yuanzi easily picked up the topic, "Young lady, don't rush to give an answer now, leave There is still a little time for the ginseng fruit festival to start, so it’s okay if Pindao leads you to take a look on the way.”

But I've seen it before...

Chai Xi, who was so slandering, couldn't figure out Zhen Yuanzi's purpose, still followed him, and was a little surprised when Zhen Yuanzi introduced the various buildings and functions in Wuzhuang Temple.Because from the first impression, she didn't think Zhen Yuanzi was such a talkative person.

"Why, girl, what's on your mind?"

Even though she answered the other party's words from time to time, Zhen Yuanzi still keenly sensed Chai Xi's absent-mindedness. He still smiled and said softly, "I don't know if I have the honor to listen to the girl's thoughts."

Chai Xi's heartbeat suddenly stopped.

However, she still smiled nonchalantly on her face, and her tone of voice didn't change at all: "I'm really touched to be cared so much by Daxian."

It is impossible for her to tell about Sun Wukong, so she can only continue the topic with another matter that still worries her.

"Actually, Daxian, I wasn't completely indifferent to the longevity-prolonging effect of ginseng fruit," Chai Xi said frankly, "It's just that the shape and appearance of the child who was only three days old was too close. No matter what... I couldn't get it right. Go to the mouth. So, after I go to see the Bodhisattva in a while, I will pack up my luggage and wait for the elders to recover, otherwise I will always feel a little panicked."

As soon as she said this, Zhen Yuanzi also fell silent.Leaving aside the matter of the Ginseng Fruit Association, this is undoubtedly a refusal to stay in Wuzhuang Temple, and it seems that there is no room for redemption.

"...Is the girl so unwilling to stay?" Zhen Yuanzi's smile was calm, but she always felt that she could see something from it, "Is there anything lacking in Pindao?"

"Do not."

Chai Xi shook his head: "To be honest, what you did, Daxian, has moved me enough. However, no matter what kind of person you are, Daxian, it has nothing to do with the reason why I stay or not."

"The reason for deciding to go on the road with the elders and the others now is not the same as my original reason."

The reason at the beginning was just because there was nowhere to go, and because I wanted to follow the Great Sage.

But is that enough?

--of course not.

In fact, Chaixi already understood in her heart what she really wanted.If you are afraid of being left behind, then let yourself work hard to become stronger. Although you still can't reach the height of that person, if you can keep working so hard, you should not be so worried one day.

Some things are impossible to blossom and bear fruit, but if you can see the other party achieve success and witness the birth of a legend, it shouldn't be in vain.

"It seems you've made up your mind."

"...Yes," Chai Xi smiled apologetically, "Thank you Daxian for taking care of me during this time."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "It's only been two days, don't talk about taking care of it or not. However, since you are going to follow Tang Sanzang and the others to learn scriptures in the west, I see that you don't have a decent weapon... the previous premise How about the seven-star whip?"

"No no no, how can this work!" Hearing what he said, Chai Xi was shocked, "Isn't that made of dragon skin?! How can I take such a precious thing casually... and even if I want it I don’t know how to use it anymore, Daxian, you’d better put it away, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I have weight!”

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wanted to slap herself in the face.What does it mean to have weight?

Why didn't she know that she could blacken herself so much?

Sure enough, Zhen Yuanzi also laughed when he heard it, but he still took care of Chaixi's mood, and in the next second he regained his demeanor: "That being said, there is still a self-defense The guy is more appropriate, next to it is the place where weapons are stored, if you change your mind, you can go in and take a look at it."

"This is really unnecessary..."

Chaixi repeatedly declined this, and Zhenyuanzi did not insist on this, and the two soon arrived at the main hall, where Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Sanzang and others had already taken their seats.

Then she inevitably met the eyes of a certain monkey.

Sun Wukong: "..."

Chai Xi: "..."

I always feel that the other party has become more uncomfortable.

She regretted it, why don't she stay in Wuzhuang Temple?
