My nemesis clings to me every day

There was still heat on Ji Li's face, thinking that he would have to go back to his room soon, he just felt that the second half of the night would be even more difficult.

He didn't even dare to look at Rong Yu's face, and he didn't dare to think about what happened in the bathroom, for fear that thinking about it would make him annoyed that he couldn't control himself, and somehow became a vulgar ghost.

He walked out of the room to take a shower, only to find that there was a person reading under the lamp.

It's sweet.

The little cousin is not tall, sitting on a chair, her feet can't touch the ground, while doing the questions, she dangled her calf like a firewood stick. Seeing him startled, she smiled and called him, "Brother Ji Li?"

Ji Li was even more uncomfortable, as if he had been caught doing something bad, he nodded with suppressed emotions.

"Is it too hot in Rong Yu's room?" Le Tian blinked, "The cooling in his room is a bit loud, but he always sleeps like a dead man and can't hear it. If you don't mind, just turn it on."

It wasn't hot in the room, it was his head that was hot.

Ji Li shook his head, and sat across the table: "...it's nothing, I just can't sleep."

As he said that, he glanced at the exercises in Le Tian's hands, and reminded him softly: "The idea of ​​question No. 12 is wrong."

Le Tian was taken aback, Ji Li took out a piece of paper from under her elbow, took a pen and wrote two words, then pushed it back.

Stars were about to pop out of Le Tian's eyes: "Brother Ji Li, aren't you too good?"

"Rong Yu will do it too." Ji Li said, but his gaze suddenly fixed on Le Tian's arm.

The little girl was wearing loose pajamas, her limbs were a bit thin, and the hideous scars left by stitches on her arms were especially abrupt.

Seeing him looking over, Le Tian rolled up her sleeves a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it a little scary?"

Ji Li shook his head: "It's okay."

Le Tian was slightly relieved by his calm attitude, and said in a low voice, "If the mecha was left in an accident before, it can be repaired in the treatment cabin after two years of age."

Ji Li was stunned: "How old were you then?"

"Twelve." Le Tian said.

"How could 12 years old let you get on a mecha?" Ji Li looked a little serious, "Didn't Rong Yu stop you?"

Even if it is a civilian mecha, it can only be used after obtaining a license at the age of 16. Letting a 12-year-old girl on a mecha is only a lunatic.

"Rong Yu already has a custom-made mecha at the age of 12." Le Tian muttered in a low voice.

Ji Li was stunned: "What?"

Le Tian knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly pulled a page of exercises to do: "It's nothing."

Ji Li seemed to connect something in his mind, vaguely remembered the model in Rong Yu's room, and was silent for a while: "... keel?"

Le Tian was stunned, and glanced at him: "...you know everything? Did Brother Rong Yu tell you?"

Ji Li pursed his lips tightly and didn't answer, Le Tian just took it as his acquiescence, heaved a sigh of relief, and stopped covering the scar.

"I, like Brother Rong Yu, both came out of the arena." Le Tian smiled, her eyes were clear, but not as lively as when Rong Yu was there during the day, "But I am not as good as Rong Yu, I am lucky , It was scrapped, and was picked up by adoptive parents."

When Ji Li heard the word "Arena", he had a vague premonition.

At that moment, countless doubts that he had before flashed through his mind, about Rong Yu's spiritual power, about Rong Yu's fighting style, about the old things that Ji Yan refused to tell him.

In the end, they all fell lightly on these three words.

But it hit his ears again, and his mind went blank.

Le Tian was still a little girl, so she didn't notice Ji Li's strangeness at all, so she was caught out of words in a few words, and she continued to follow the sentence.

"Brother Rong Yu escaped by himself. He hid in Tibet for more than a year. He didn't dare to show up until the arena was gone. He happened to meet me and my adoptive father."

"—Uncle, he called me my adoptive uncle."

"Before he escaped, he was still the number one fighting beast, and after he left...I'm not scolding him, we all call it that way, and we call it that way to each other, it seems really not very nice, but we don't deserve to be called mechs fighter."

Only those glamorous big stars who operate fighting mechas and have groups of management assistants are mecha fighters.

The fighting beasts in the underground arena are consumables for fun, tools used by the arena to gain profits, and they are not even considered as a person worthy of being treated.

When Le Tian was trafficked into the arena, Rong Yu was already the rarest fighting beast in the arena.

He is the most powerful fighting beast so far, and the top work of the arena. The arena even built an expensive mecha specially for him. Every time he plays a game, the gamble involved is an astronomical amount.

But he is still kept in the basement forever, trained in a simulation cabin that cannot be connected to the Internet, and competes with other fighting beasts day after day. If he is careless, he will accept cruel punishment.

All fighting beasts are like this, and Rong Yu is no exception.

Ji Li's voice was hoarse: "... Where is his own family?"

"I don't know, it might be the same as me, there is none at all." Le Tian said, "I heard that Brother Rong Yu was bought by the arena at a young age."

Every year, the arena adopts and purchases countless orphans with spiritual talent and the ability to drive mechs through underground channels, trains them, and then makes them fight each other like a gu, and uses this as a viewing program, opening bets, collecting Tickets, and then exchanged for countless star coins.

Rong Yu has been there for as long as he can remember, and he doesn't even have his own name.

His mech is called Dragon Bone, so his code name is also Dragon Bone.

He's a healer, but a healer doesn't make sense in a duel, so he throws away all his traits and becomes the strongest, fastest fighter.

He is a plant that grows in the crevices of the cliff, grabbing rain and dew in the crevices of rocks and mud, and has long been distorted so that the original species cannot be seen.

Such fighting beasts often have only one destiny, which is to fight to the death in the arena.

At that time, many people dreamed of taking Rong Yu's eyes off.

Ji Li repeated: "Eyes?"

"That's right," Le Tian propped her chin, and said softly, "The rules of the arena, we won't get money if we win a fight, and we'll be punished if we lose. According to the rules, the winner can take part of the loser."

"It could be hair, it could be eyes, it could be... the heart."

Everything is liked by the winner.

It is really to raise them as wild animals.

"The keel's eyes will change color. Gamblers know it, and fighting beasts know it too."

"If you can take off his eyeballs, it means..."

Le Tian didn't continue talking.

It meant that they crushed Rong Yu, trampled on the strongest fighting beast, and let the guy who was clearly a beast but possessed human nature be completely shattered to the last bit of dignity.

The gamblers are already tired of watching the bloody fights, and they want to see how the fighting beasts that lost their eyes die in one fight after another.

At that time, their gladiatorial fights were not always fair. As long as it was to win more spectators and bets, they would do anything in the arena. They even let Rong Yu fight against a dozen people.

Le Tian had seen that scene before, it was like a lion cub facing a dozen hyenas.

Almost every moment, someone wants to bite off a piece of flesh from his body.

Rong Yu once had countless scars on his body.

The arena was never afraid of ruining Rong Yu, they were only afraid that Rong Yu would not be beautiful enough, not exciting enough, not enough to wow the audience, not enough to earn crackling stars.

Fortunately, Rong Yu escaped before being completely destroyed.

This is a miracle.

After Le Tian finished speaking, she clenched her fists. After a while, she whispered, "...I shouldn't have told you so much."

She believed that even if Rong Yu told Ji Li her background, she would not reveal these details, only she would be so talkative.

But as long as the arena is mentioned, there is not a single detail that is not painful, related to death and cruelty, and even these are just the tip of the iceberg.

But if he asks Rong Yu now, that guy will only say some trivial things.

For example, there is a fat mouse in the basement who always steals his biscuits, but when he really waits for the mouse and catches the little villain, the mouse is too scared to eat again.

For another example, it is said that there was once a fighting beast whose spiritual body was a fox with a big fluffy tail, which was bald secretly by him, and he almost wanted to fight him to death.

For another example, the AI ​​who said the keel was actually very gentle, and would tell him a lot of fairy tales in private. For a while, he liked training very much, because that was the only time he could listen to stories.

When talking about this, Rong Yu would even seriously worry about the fat mouse, saying that it was really stupid, and its tail was torn off by other fighting beasts. After he escaped, no one would take the biscuits and oranges away Put it on the ground and wait for it.

Rong Yu seems to never forget the sadness and pain, and it is easy to devote himself to those little joys.

This is the self-protection he was forced to do in order to survive, and until now, it has finally become his instinct.

But she didn't have such a talent, as long as she mentioned that place, she couldn't think of any happy memories, even if she only picked the most ordinary ones, it was a bloody mass of scars overlapping scars.

If Rong Yu knew, she might be blamed for talking too much.

Ji Li didn't speak.

Le Tian was silent for a while, "Brother Ji Li, this is our whisper, okay?"

Ji Li lightly pressed her shoulder, and gave a low "hmm".

Ji Li didn't know when he returned to the room, Rong Yu was still sleeping on the inside of the bed, holding the sticky candy in his arms, having some kind of dream, his brows were slightly frowned, but his sleeping appearance was very cute.

He sat on the head of the bed, found Rong Yu's decoration again, and pressed a button, and the mini-mecha projection named Dragon Bone appeared in front of his eyes again.

Ji Li stretched out his finger and touched it.

The mecha patted his head from the air, and did another silly dance.

This seemed to be Rong Yu's preset interaction mode. Ji Li was stunned for a long time, and then gently put it back.

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch Rong Yu's cheek.

But for some reason, his fingertips trembled, but they were only a few centimeters away, but they never dared to touch them again.

Afraid of breaking this person.

For the first time, the young master felt powerless.He can't go back to the past to protect him, and Rong Yu doesn't need his protection now.

He can't go back in time, and he can't change the past. His sadness and resentment have nowhere to settle, and he can only struggle in vain in his heart. There is no more powerless and useless emotion than this.

Le Tian said that Rong Yu would not be sad anymore, but he remembered that Rong Yu, who was suffering from a phantom star, said "help me" to him in a hallucination.

How could he go to the dream to save him?

In the end, there was only one light, traceless kiss left.

It landed on Rong Yu's forehead.

If only he was really Gummy.

At least he can lick those disappearing wounds for him.
