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

"What if I say I don't want to do anything?"

Chai Xi stared at him, even if the other party really did nothing but push against the door, if possible, she really didn't want to see this guy again in her life.After what happened in "Little Leiyin Temple", she already had a sense of disgust towards herself—it was even worse when she remembered a certain guy, but he was so embarrassed to appear here now.

And she didn't understand what he was here for, to laugh at her?

The six-eared macaque standing in front of her has the face of a waiter in the shop. The smile on her face since she opened the door still shows flattery and flattery at first glance, but now it looks a bit ironic when you look closely. in it.Chai Xi glanced behind him subconsciously, and then realized that there was no need for him to do so.

It is impossible to escape past him, and she can't fight head-on... and she is probably the only one in this inn who can have some strength in this regard.

From a rational point of view, she should only let him in now, but——

She really didn't want to do it.

"You can rest assured."

The six-eared macaque looked calm and relaxed, which made people want to beat people, no, beat the monkey: "I really don't have any plans, if you don't worry, I can just leave like this .”

Having said that, he didn't intend to leave at all, he was just playing lip service.

"If what you said is true," Chai Xi felt that she was talking nonsense if she kept entangled with him like this, but she still couldn't get away, she couldn't help thinking, if she knew this guy would show up, she would really be shameless and troublesome Zhen Yuanzi came here to give herself away... If so, the six-eared macaque would never show up, she can be so sure, "Then why are you coming out?"

"take a walk."

The six-eared macaque said sincerely.

Chai Xi: "..."

What a coincidence that I was able to take a walk to the inn!

Unconsciously, her hand was already on the handle of the whip around her waist.Chaixi originally planned to secretly leave this in Wuzhuang Temple, but firstly, it was a bit too obvious without this, and secondly, she was going on the road alone after all, and it is always good to have a weapon in hand-although it is true When encountering an opponent like the six-eared macaque, you have to admit defeat.

"Then please go back for a walk, Your Excellency." Chai Xi's voice was almost squeezed through his teeth, "Since you can walk here, your home must not be far from here."

"Well...let me do the math," the six-eared macaque counted its fingers, but it looked like it was just an act, so he said absent-mindedly, "It's only tens of thousands of miles."

Chai Xi: "..."

She's had enough!

Who will drive this guy away!

The second she was thinking this, the sound of someone going upstairs came from the stairs, and Chai Xi really thought that God was helping her for a moment, but when that person approached, she felt a bad feeling premonition.The boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen was wearing the same clothes as the six-eared macaque, but he should be a real waiter.

He looked suspiciously at Chaixi and the six-eared macaque—on the surface he was still a normal person in the clothes of the waiter in the shop—looking back and forth for a long time, his eyes finally settled on the six-eared macaque, and Chaixi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but Immediately afterwards, her heart hung up again.

...How could she have forgotten that the six-eared macaque is much more unscrupulous than the Great Sage, and he probably wouldn't care about making a fuss here.If the waiter in the shop really sees it through, then the other party's life may really be lost!

"Who are you?" Chai Xi hadn't made up his mind yet, but the waiter had already asked, "Why have I never seen you before?"

Six-eared macaque: "New here."

"impossible."

The shop clerk said decisively: "Our shop is small, and the shopkeeper will let us know if there is anything. Recently, he has never said that he wants to recruit people. Where did you come from?"

"Then where did my clothes come from?" The six-eared macaque sneered, "If you don't believe me, go ask your shopkeeper."

The other party stared at him with wide eyes, and then looked at Chai Xi as if asking questions. Chai Xi shook his head out of conscience, indicating that he didn't know anything, and thought that at least let him leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, the shop clerk just turned his head and was about to take two steps, when suddenly his footsteps froze, and he turned his head to the side as if he was suspicious again and wanted to ask something, but it was too late and then, the six-eared macaque's knife had already fallen into his hand neck.

"Hey you--"

Chaixi called out subconsciously. She felt that the voice was a bit loud and she was afraid of attracting others, so she kept quiet. She saw that the waiter just fell limply on the ground, no blood spattered out, and there was no strange bend in the neck. It was a sigh of relief, it seems that the six-eared macaque still kept its hand.

... so rare.

She squinted at the six-eared macaque for a few seconds, and the other party looked at her innocently. After a while, Chai Xi finally compromised.

"Bring him in," she said through gritted teeth, "don't let other people see."

"Order."

The six-eared macaque almost responded cheerfully, not caring what strange misunderstandings this would cause others.Chai Xi froze for a moment because of his words, and then those memories that were quite happy at the time but were particularly dark when she remembered them later were thrown out by her vigorously.Seeing the waiter being stuffed into the closet by the six-eared macaque, Chai Xi felt a little guilty, but she had to do so in order not to let others notice.

Chai Xi poked his head around the door and looked left and right, and found that there was no special movement around him, and hesitantly closed the door, but the latch was not inserted.She leaned her back against the door to block it, and on the other hand, she was also unwilling to give up hope that if she disagreed with each other, she would leave directly... although she felt that it was impossible to run away.

"Sit down." She said coldly, "I won't entertain you."

"So this is your hospitality?" Saying so, the six-eared macaque didn't feel that he was an outsider at all. He poured himself a cup of tea, although he didn't intend to drink it at all, he seemed heartbroken Shaking his head, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Chai Xi: "..."

How was she taught hospitality by a guy who came to the door without saying hello knowing he wasn't welcome? !

"..." She endured and endured, but she had no choice but to lower her head when her strength was inferior to others, "Well, I have to wait for the poor reception. However, you should also tell me what you want to do when you come here. .”

"Didn't I already say that?"

The six-eared macaque crossed its legs, God knows why he always makes himself look so annoying.

"I'm really walking around," he said unhurriedly, "so you don't have to be so nervous at all."

"I would never trust a guy with a criminal record." Chai Xi said calmly, "What's more, I can feel that you are not telling the truth."

Sitting on the chair with a relaxed face, the six-eared macaque said "Huh" full of surprise: "I didn't expect your intuition to be so accurate. If so, why didn't you notice it at the beginning?"

Chai Xi narrowed his eyes, a little surprised that he would bring it up on his own initiative.But the surprise was only fleeting, and Chai Xi's heart sank, and the complex and tumbling mood was more mixed with shame and disgust, and heat rushed to her cheeks.

The six-eared macaque looked at her with great interest, Chai Xi gritted his teeth, reached behind and put the latch on the door, then turned to the window and opened the wooden window.She didn't care about exposing her back to the other party, and she had already expected that she would not be in any danger. From another perspective, she would have died long ago.

The weather outside can't be said to be so cool, but when the air is flowing, it still makes people feel a lot more comfortable.Finally calmed down, she turned around and looked at the six-eared macaque expressionlessly.

“Now that I think about it, it’s impossible to say that this possibility never occurred to me at the time.”

Chai Xi said slowly that the drowsiness caused by the long journey had completely disappeared due to the stimulation of the six-eared macaque. She wondered if she could sleep well in the future: "Although I don't know Why did you suddenly take the initiative to reveal that you have been following us, but after you left, even though I told the truth in front of everyone to prevent the elders from worrying, I still told the Great Sage alone."

"Since then, we have been guarding against your appearance—or, in other words, we are worried about what kind of disguise you will appear in front of us." Speaking of this, she actually laughed, and even Chai Xi herself didn't know her Why did she laugh back so angrily, but she didn't stop talking, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction with the six-eared macaque, "Who would have thought that you would be willing to use such an image to disguise yourself, and still Deliberately use the aunt on the ferry to pretend that he is really innocent and wandered there by accident."

"--but."

As soon as the subject changed, Chai Xi also paused, before saying: "After leaving 'Little Leiyin Temple', I found myself accepting this fact easily, perhaps in my subconscious mind, I have already guessed this possibility .”

She didn't care whether the other party could understand her words or not, she just stared at the six-eared macaque and said.

"'Instead of letting you wait for an opportunity to attack somewhere, it's better to stay by your side and watch in case something happens'-this kind of thinking has indeed been ignored by me, but it is still there. Of course, even if I Thinking this way, being betrayed——" Suddenly realizing what she said, Chai Xi abruptly stopped talking, she forced herself to calm down, closed her eyes before continuing, "Of course, even if I think so, you will end up And he did that."

"why?"

The six-eared macaque stared at her for a long time, and then let out a sharp breath. His sudden burst of laughter was a bit strange.Chai Xi stared, and she looked at the closet from time to time, for fear that his voice would wake up the waiter.

It wasn't until this time that he finally revealed his true nature, looking at the face similar to Monkey King, Chai Xi felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

"So it's not all said." When the laughter finally stopped, the six-eared macaque's expression became a little subtle, "I don't have so many reasons for doing things, but I just do it when I want to do it."

Chai Xi fell silent when she heard the words. She was not convinced by what the six-eared macaque said, especially this sentence.Just as their looks are so similar, both the Great Sage and the Six-Eared Macaque are a little willful, but she can be sure that no matter which of them it is, they will never do such a thing just because of a momentary interest. thing.

But it was about six-eared macaques, so she didn't want to get into it.

"So, it's time for my question again?"

He tapped on the table lightly, and Chaixi suddenly felt his heart sink for no reason, as if he had anticipated his question.

really.

He asked that question.

"What reason do you have to follow them to learn scriptures now?"

Her fingers tightened, and she didn't feel any pain when she pinched into her palm. She should have been annoyed by this, but what was left now was only a sense of emptiness that was close to desolation.

Perhaps, Chai Xi felt that she should tell him "it's none of your business".

But she didn't.

"……Habit."

She finally said that, even though there were only these two words, both the six-eared macaque and herself had already understood the meaning of these two words.

Even though the six-eared macaque is the one who doesn't want to hear this at all, even though the six-eared macaque is the one who doesn't want her to see through her mind, but now, he is the only one who can listen to her.

as well as……

Chasing that figure has become an engraved habit in her bones.

"Occasionally, live for yourself," the six-eared macaque said in a strange tone, just like his strange tone, it seems that he should not say these words, Chai Xi always feels that this does not fit his image at all, "then Is the broken monkey so worthy of attention?"

...Aren't you a monkey too? !

"You could be dead wrong."

She replied without raising her eyelids, the tense atmosphere had gradually eased at some point, although she could still clearly feel her own hostility: "I've obviously been living for myself."

How long has passed since then?

Thinking of this, Chai Xi took out a charcoal pencil, and added another touch on the paper that was also taken out of the package, forming a complete "正" character.

Well, she counted, no more, no less, 30 days.

The needle-like sight behind her has been with her for 30 days, and she is almost used to it.

Moreover, completely dumped!No!Lose!

He also hides really well!

Chai Xi felt that she was about to blow up, so she subconsciously looked back, but as expected, she saw nothing.

This vision would never disappear even when she was sometimes resting in the hotel. After staying up all night a few times, Chaixi once fell asleep unconsciously because she was too sleepy. Everything is still in the same place, and even the piercing sight hidden somewhere has never changed.After checking the room again, Chai Xi was sure that this guy was definitely not in the room.

... Then she can probably rest assured.

The reason why the six-eared macaque acted was a complete mystery, and he never said it himself. Chai Xi had no intention of spying on the past, but now she really couldn't bear it anymore.

However, even if she couldn't bear it, it was useless, she couldn't find where the six-eared macaque was at all.

If it goes on like this, she wonders if she will really get used to it, and she won't get used to it without the piercing gaze.

Fortunately, she is actually much more determined than she imagined.

After more than two months, Chaixi finally passed over Shituoling again at a much slower speed than the others—even the six-eared macaque who slowed down on purpose.Her wound that had healed up long ago seemed to be a little painful again, and although she had never seen the Lion and Camel Kingdom before, she could fully imagine what it would look like when it was under the control of the Golden Winged Eagle.By now, the place has been filled with popularity again, and it may take a long time to recover, but at least it is getting started.

It took her a few months to fly the distance they had traveled for several years, and now that she was here, it would not take long for them to catch up with the Great Sage.

Then, after thinking about it for several days, she finally saw a group of five people walking slowly below—if the white dragon horse was counted.

Chai Xi subconsciously wanted to press the head of the cloud, but suddenly realized that it might be inappropriate to do so.She had imagined countless times on the road how she would reappear in front of them, but when it came time to actually implement it, no matter which one seemed to be difficult for her to do.

So……

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and Chai Xi simply let it go, and landed directly at a place far away from them.That's when she felt that gaze had finally disappeared.

……Hey?

Can't tell whether it's a sigh of relief or something, Chai Xi couldn't figure it out, she always felt that there was something she had overlooked, but she couldn't find any clues.

Maybe...that doesn't matter anymore?

The sound of horseshoes approached, and Chaixi, who was hiding behind the tree, suddenly had the idea of ​​not wanting to go out. She was the one who had been on the road day and night during this period of time, but now it seemed that all her achievements would be in vain.She leaned her back stiffly against the tree trunk until she heard a familiar "who's there".

As if her body no longer belonged to her, Chai Xi slowly turned around and met the astonished crowd.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Zhu Bajie, who yelled inexplicably, took two steps back, and then was stabbed by Monk Sha with the Demon Subduing Staff.Obviously he used to be the marshal of the canopy, and ghosts are probably not uncommon, but now this appearance is rather strange.

...Chai Xi, who was slandering to relieve her tension, looked at Monkey King who was still silently looking at her tremblingly, and Tang Sanzang, who was riding on the horse, also had a complicated expression. He said "Amitabha" softly, not knowing what to express. nodded.

Sun Wukong looked at her for a long time, then suddenly took a step forward, Chai Xi subconsciously wanted to back up, but she still didn't move as if she was pinned there.

She watched him stretch out his hand helplessly, and then she passively leaned on Sun Wukong's shoulder. At some point, the warm liquid oozed from the corner of her eyes, and slowly cooled as it passed across her cheeks.

--In contrast.

Her silent heart, obviously without waves, was inexplicably constricted so that she couldn't breathe.
