Chapter 721 Self-deception
Chapter 721 Self-deception
During this period of time when I was not there, Lu Chihuan not only did not feel any loss, but he also talked and laughed with other people, as if I could not cause any influence on him.
Then.
Does this mean that—
In fact, his friend is not that important to Lu Chihuan at all.
Stuka Lumin knew that he was being too stubborn and that it was a bit selfish to think this way, but he still couldn't control his thoughts and his breathing became heavier.
He closed his eyes.
He pinched the bridge of his nose with his bony fingers, then lowered his eyes again, forcing himself to finish reading these conversations.
When he saw the chef's apprentice mentioning the elders who put pressure on him because of the god-level mecha, he pulled his lips unconsciously, with a hint of coldness and contempt in his deep red eyes.
They are just a bunch of clowns.
Relying on their age and seniority, he decided to let them jump around for a while and he would be able to resolve the matter soon.
Think of this.
The old faces of several elders, which looked like dried orange peels, appeared in front of Stuka Lumin's eyes again, and his mood became worse again.
He bent his fingers and tapped the table a few times with some impatience. The violence and anger in his chest were pulling back and forth, and he didn't know where to vent.
No.
I can't calm down.
At this time, Stuka Lumin missed Lu Chihuan's quiet palace very much, where he could relax all his mind and his heart would become quiet.
Unfortunately.
He can't go now.
So Stuka Lumin had to pick up the booklet that recorded Lu Chihuan's words and deeds again, hoping to use it to quench his thirst and stop the longing and desire in his heart.
When I saw it written on it——
When Lu Chihuan thought that he was soft-hearted and opinionated, his eyes were stunned again, and his heartbeat quickened for some reason.
He couldn't help but put out his hands to cover his face, as if trying to hide the expression on his face, but the corners of his lips still curled up uncontrollably with a hint of pleasure.
The unhappiness just now was almost swept away.
For an instant.
Stuka Lumin felt that all his efforts during this period seemed to be in vain. Even though Lu Chihuan was not in front of him, he could still easily stir up his distracting thoughts.
He thought that even as a friend, Lu Chihuan was the one who couldn't leave him.
But I didn't expect it.
On the contrary, he can't leave Lu Chihuan.
They had only been separated for a few days, but he couldn't help but use such a clumsy method to find out Lu Chihuan's every move.
If my past self knew this, he would probably laugh at me.
Stuka Lumin thought about these things aimlessly, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, but when he saw the family photo placed on the table, his smile slowly stiffened.
"No."
He murmured to himself.
It was as if he was trying to eliminate the distracting thoughts that were like weeds growing in his mind.
It was as if he was talking to another self, and the voice even sounded a bit struggling, "Only Lu Chihuan can't do it."
"You're just friends."
Ever since his parents and brothers and sisters passed away in that bloody incident, he and his elder brother who was still in a coma were the only ones left in this huge sea of Stu.
although.
He didn't know when his elder brother would wake up, but he had promised before that he would take good care of him, so he would never do anything like stealing someone's love.
It will not separate a pair of lovers.
not to mention.
Lu Chihuan is still in a state of amnesia.
When he recalls all his memories, everything will be different. By then, he and Lu Chihuan may still be friends, but the other party will not...
I put him first in my heart.
Take a closer look.
It was almost as if he had stolen this time from everyone else.
Therefore, all the unfamiliar emotions to him can only be called distracting thoughts, and cannot be shown openly in front of others.
Even he himself——
You can only deceive yourself.
Stuka Lumin frowned unconsciously, forced himself to focus on his work, and then picked up the pen to write a few words.
But when he came to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly written a series of Lu Chihuan's names on the paper, mixed with the words "like" and "friend".
For an instant.
His ears were slightly red.
He seemed a little annoyed that he couldn't hide his feelings. After a moment, he quickly calmed down, tore off the paper with a cold face, and threw it into the shredder.
It seems.
He doesn't reflect on himself enough.
Stuka Lumin pursed his lips in self-disgust. In the next few days, Stuka Lumin still did not go to find Lu Chihuan, but he never expected that Lu Chihuan would come to him on his own initiative.
When I heard the message from the mermaid servant.
His deep red pupils narrowed slightly, and he could hardly believe his ears. The booklet in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
Followed by.
He quickly sat up straight and hurriedly stuffed the booklet into the secret drawer under the golden bench.
In order not to appear too anxious, Stuka Lumen paused for a few seconds before nodding in the direction of the mermaid servant, and his voice sounded exceptionally calm.
"Let him in."
Seeing that the merman attendant was about to leave after receiving the order, he suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait."
"If he comes again in the future, he doesn't have to come and tell me."
"Just let the people in."
The merman attendant responded respectfully on the surface, but he was actually wondering in his heart what charm this human had that made His Majesty value him so much.
To know.
Even in the past, only your Majesty's parents and a few brothers could meet without the need for attendants to inform them.
of course.
He was not a stupid person. Even though all kinds of speculations popped up in his mind, he still maintained a respectful and polite attitude when facing Lu Chihuan, and there was basically nothing wrong with his actions.
Lu Chihuan was brought by him to Stuka Lumin's palace.
He saw the throne made of gold and gems at the end of the stairs, and also saw Stuka Lumin sitting upright on it. He looked somewhat unfamiliar to Lu Chihuan.
He felt a little distant.
So at this moment he looked around this slightly empty and quiet palace.
Then he hesitated and crossed his hands in front of his chest, imitating the actions of the mermaid servant just now and saluted Stuka Lumen.
"His Majesty."
But before he could bend his waist completely, he saw Stuka Lumen had come in front of him without knowing when. He held him up with his hand, and there was a hint of imperceptible anger in his deliberately lowered voice.
"What kind of ceremony is this?"
"I've never seen you so well-behaved before in your own palace, and we are friends."
Friends are equal.
It is absolutely impossible for one of them to use his or her status to suppress the other party to submit and surrender.
not to mention.
Stuka Lumin liked the way Lu Chihuan spoke his mind in front of him without fear or concealment.
A hint of distinct anger appeared in Stuka Lumin's ruby-like eyes, and Lu Chihuan finally found a sense of familiarity in him.
His eyes curved.
When he looked at the other party, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and his voice sounded very cheerful, "I have to pretend, otherwise the mermaids outside will probably talk about me breaking the rules again."
Stuka Lumen's face darkened.
He raised his chin.
His expression seemed a bit noble and arrogant. "I am the biggest rule in the entire mermaid tribe. If anyone is dissatisfied with you in the future, let him come to me and ask for an explanation."
Lu Chi smiled happily.
He crossed his arms and complained deliberately, "I'm still looking for you to explain. You've been so busy these days that I can't even see you. When I finally find you..."
"I guess the daylilies are cold."
When Stuka Lumin heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He also knew that it was not very kind of him to avoid him these days.
But he couldn't reveal all his thoughts, so he could only turn his head away and not meet Lu Chihuan's eyes. His voice sounded a little dry, "Sorry."
Lu Chihuan didn't come here today to hold Stuka Lumin accountable for his mistakes.
and.
He really thought that Stuka Lumin was busy with official business, so he didn't think it was a big deal not to see him for a few days. If it were him, he would probably not show up for ten days or half a month.
Then what.
Career is the most important thing.
Therefore, now that Stuka Lumin took the initiative to bow his head to him, he felt a little embarrassed. His thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, and the dimple at the corner of his lips deepened a little.
He raised his hand and gently patted Stuka Lumin's shoulder. "I'm just kidding you."
"Don't take it seriously."
"I know you've been busy with work recently, so I don't mean to blame you. I haven't come here because I just feel it's inconvenient for me to disturb you..."
The words are not finished yet.
Stuka Lumen's stiff voice sounded. He still refused to look Lu Chihuan in the eye, as if he was worried that his eyes would reveal some inappropriate emotions.
But the words that came out of his mouth were spoken with a hint of sincerity, "I don't find it disturbing."
As soon as the words came out.
He felt that what he said now was a little inappropriate.
Then he closed his mouth as tightly as a clam, as if he was afraid that he would reveal his true feelings in the next moment.
Lu Chihuan didn't notice anything wrong with Stuka Lumin.
He has always been slow in expressing his feelings.
In addition, Stuka Lumin was deliberately hiding it, so after hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the deep friendship between him and Stuka Lumin.
Realer than real gold.
then.
He nodded immediately.
Then he smiled and teased, "You said it yourself. If I come to you again next time, you can't feel annoyed."
Stuka Lumin seemed to feel that what Lu Chihuan said was really unpleasant to him.
He was about to retort.
however.
He just glanced at Lu Chihuan, and after his eyes met the other's sparkling eyes, he quickly looked away.
His Adam's apple rolled a few times.
But he pretended not to care, organized his words, and then answered nonchalantly, "I don't think you're annoying me on weekdays, so don't accuse me of something you don't have."
talking.
He took Lu Chihuan to find a seat and sit down.
At this moment, he was leaning lazily on the chair, his silver-white hair falling to his ears as he moved, and against his pigeon-blood-red eyes, he looked quite enchanting and enchanting, making people dare not look directly at him.
"But you came here this time not just to see me, right?"
Nothing to do is to commit crimes or to steal.
Lu Chihuan did not hide his intention from Stuka Lumen. He stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of the other party.
"Two things."
Stuka Lumen thought that Lu Chihuan wanted to ask him something, so he immediately supported his chin with one hand and looked at Lu Chihuan leisurely, as if he was watching a fun event.
But who knows.
Lu Chihuan actually asked him to stretch out his hand.
In the past, Stuka Lumin would never have done so. After all, he has always been sensitive and suspicious. He doubts all strangers around him and is determined to nip the danger in the bud.
But after spending some time with Lu Chihuan, he firmly believed that the other party would not hurt him, so he simply stretched out his hand.
Lu Chihuan took out the five-colored rope he had already woven from his pocket and tied it up.
"A few days ago, when the chef's apprentice lent me his communicator to check the Star Network, I found that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon."
"This is a very important festival for humans. Its origin can probably be traced back thousands of years. During this festival, everyone wears a five-colored rope, which is also called a longevity rope."
"Wearing it can ward off disasters and diseases, pray for good luck, and keep you safe."
Stuka Lumin stared at the five-colored rope on his wrist in a daze, then pressed his chest unconsciously. Then he spoke as if to verify something, "This thing..."
"Am I the only one who has it?"
When Lu Chihuan heard this, he shook his head. After seeing Stuka Lumin's uncontrollable look of loss,
He shook his wrist deliberately again, "Well, I made one for myself too."
"I didn't know how to braid it at first, so I just looked up a video on the Internet and learned it. But the five-colored rope I braided is really ugly, and I'm embarrassed to give it to you to wear."
“So I kept it for myself.”
Stuka Lumin's originally gloomy mood brightened a little after listening to Lu Chihuan's words.
For an instant.
The distracting thoughts he had suppressed had clearly already turned into sparks with a little residual warmth in the ashes, but now they were growing stronger in the wind and turned into a raging fire in an instant.
The fever made his mouth dry.
Even under the skin, it seemed as if there was heat flowing, and then slowly became hot.
There was a moment.
He felt as if his entire body was about to be burned to ashes by these distracting thoughts.
After Lu Chihuan tied the five-colored rope for Stuka Lumin, he immediately mentioned another matter, "I heard that you have basically stayed in this palace these days to handle official business, and the things you handled were basically quite troublesome."
"This must be very unfriendly to your mood, so I came here to ask you-"
"Would you like to go out for a walk with me?"
