Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

No matter how dull Kino was, he suddenly realized that his behavior was not normal, but after all, he had lived for so many years, so he didn't react too much right now, and just cooperated with Xi Wei's statement calmly.

Xi Wei patted him on the back, and he leaned in a little bit. To outsiders, this posture is very intimate and natural.

Earl Duin's eyes darkened, "In that case, I interrupted."

Little Loli didn't know why, so she tilted her head to watch the show, although she probably didn't understand it.

Earl Duin coaxed Loli softly, "Be good, baby, follow Baba home."

Lori glanced at Xi Wei reluctantly, but after all, she was closer to Baba who had been together day and night, so she threw herself into Andrio's arms and twisted, hugged Earl Duin's neck, and was hugged on his shoulders. gone.

Andreo's back is full of loss.

In fact, Kino stopped coughing, but he still pretended to cough twice to relieve some embarrassment.

Xi Wei patted again unhurriedly, then turned and left, and Kino quickly followed.

The capital of the Violet Empire was very lively. It was the afternoon, and the streets were crowded with people, and the stalls and shoppers were almost crowded.

Xi Wei couldn't move fast, but Kino followed very hard, barely able to keep a distance of one person.

Suddenly, Kino was bumped by a person next to him. He almost lost his footing and almost fell. One hand went through the crowd to support his shoulder.

Kino raised his head and found that Xi Wei was still looking at him expressionlessly, as if he would never have any emotional fluctuations.

But from this moment on, Xi Wei didn't let go of Kino, but kept holding Kino's arm to prevent him from falling down again.

The two returned to the palace, and while walking, Kino hesitated a few times before deciding to ask, he was not someone who could hide his words, and it was too uncomfortable to hold back his words.

So he stopped, even with Xi Wei.

A little doubt appeared in Xi Wei's eyes.

Kino brushed Xi Wei's hand away, stood facing him, and said in a low voice, "Even if you want to make Earl Duin give up, you can't say that, so you won't be... a different kind of person?"

The Red Moon Continent is not yet open enough to openly accept same-sex love, that is to say, Earl Duin himself is also a different kind, so it is not that serious.

"Are you afraid?"

"No, no, it's not that I'm afraid, I'm just..." After thinking about it for a while, there seemed to be something wrong with the conversation. What he wanted to say was not this, but when Xi Wei asked him this question, his mind seemed to be diverted to a strange place went.

Kino scratched his hair anxiously, and finally found a suitable wording, "You can find a girl to answer Earl Duin, why... me?"

"Girls?"

Kino nodded with a bit of distaste.

"I don't have any girls I like."

After saying that, Xi Wei left, leaving Kino who couldn't recover and stood there stupidly, his head blank.

What does Xi Wei mean by this?

When he was in a daze, he didn't notice that Hua Li in his pocket flew out quietly and caught up with Xi Wei.

Xi Wei walked for a while, turned around and looked at the miniature elf queen flying in the air, and said displeasedly, "Are you following me?"

Huali smiled sweetly and flapped his wings, "Is it appropriate for you to treat the child you raised?"

Huali already knew Kino's identity, after all, she was the Queen of Elf, she had seen a lot, and after recovering her memory, she recognized him quickly.

A cold light flashed across Xi Wei's eyes, "What's wrong?"

Hua Li said firmly, "You don't love him at all, but you say such misleading words, if that child takes it seriously, it will be fun."

Xi Wei didn't answer.

Hua Li continued, "At first I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but that child is pretty pleasing to me. He has deep feelings for you. I don't know if he loves you, but even if it's not love, you just need to hint him a little bit. In return for your kindness, he will not refuse."

Gratitude is not love, what Hua Li wanted to say, Xi Wei understood.

But so what, whether it is love or not is not important, as long as Kino is by his side, if the relationship between father and son is not enough, then add the relationship of lovers, since the most intimate and inseparable thing in the world is the lover, then just be lovers .

As for what is love, does that matter?

Xi Wei said coldly, "Don't worry about it."

Hua Li clicked his tongue, "Of course I won't mind your business, it's just boring."

After Huali left, Xi Wei stood by the fountain, staring at the gurgling water, lost in thought.

He is a very deep-minded person who hardly reveals his emotions. From the day he picked up Kino, his life was different from all the little beggars. He had a small burden, and therefore He is no longer a walking dead, even though it took almost all his energy to raise this child, the work is more tiring and harder.

Knowing that the child could remember everything from an early age was scary, but thinking about it now, this is really a good thing, because Kino can see and remember every effort he has made.

Xi Wei admits that he is despicable, and uses Kino's gratitude to force him to submit step by step, even though he is not in love with him.

But mean, can live better.

No matter what, Kino can't be with anyone else, he can only be his, forever.

At dinner time, Xiao Wu came back with a sad face. She tried her best but couldn't find Bai Lier, so she was very depressed and a bit unwilling to eat.

Kino said, "Miss Wu, don't worry, people in the temple are helping to find it, and they will notify you as soon as there is news."

Out of intolerance, no one told Xiao Wu what Bai Lier had done, so Xiao Wu still cared about Bai Lier, after all, she was her first good friend in Puluo City, and she had always been very kind to her.

What's more, Xiao Wu always felt that she had robbed Bai Lier of her sainthood. Now that she was still alive, Xiao Wu felt guilty and treated Bai Lier better.

After completing the s-level mission of sealing demons, both Chino and Xi Wei obtained valuable high-level mercenary badges, which allowed them to have a lot of authority, which was a step closer to Xia Zuo's goal, and Xia Zuo was very satisfied.

Kaka licked the milk on the plate, satiated and dozed off on Xia Zuo's shoulder.

Xia Zuo's eyes were still dull, he stroked Kaka's hair, and continued, "Lei Ting is getting old, he needs a successor, and in one month's time, there will be the annual grand meeting of the Mercenary Union. It is a grand competition, as far as I know, the Thunder will choose the person they like to succeed in this competition."

Kino bit a chicken leg and said vaguely, "Do you want us to win this competition?"

Xia Zuo smiled and nodded.

Kino swallowed the chicken leg, wiped his mouth, glanced at Xi Wei who was not expressing anything, and then asked, "It's just a coincidence that we can seal the devil. It's very difficult to fight those experienced mercenaries with real knives and guns." It’s not an ordinary university, we’re still students.”

Xia Zuo tilted his head, "This has nothing to do with me."

Kino glanced at him speechlessly, thinking to say it lightly, as if it wasn't for you.

Xiao Wu was absent-minded, basically didn't eat dinner, and didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, all her thoughts were spent on worrying.

Xi Wei is not an ambitious person. If it wasn't forced by the situation, he would probably be the least aggressive protagonist at point X. However, he is the protagonist after all, and the situation will always make him walk on the established path.

Only Kino knew this in this world, so he accepted Xia Zuo's "coercion and lure" without much struggle, and helped him sit on the throne of God.

Compared to the No. [-] younger brother Ni Luo who will eventually betray, the boss Xia An who is restrained by the good boy Xia An seems to be more suitable.

Time flew by, and a month passed quickly. Many people came to this city out of anticipation for the grand event of the Mercenary Union, which made the already bustling imperial capital even more crowded.

This day is the start time for the mercenary union's competition registration, and the registration office of the union is packed. Huali's body is buried in Kino's pocket, with one arm resting on the edge of the pocket, and her hand is dragging her small cheek. , tilting his head and yawning while boredly watching the crowd in front of him.

A burly man held a pair of copper hammers in his hands, his eyes were bigger than the hammers, and he slammed the table in front of one of the registration tables, "What are you talking about, I am not qualified to participate in the competition?"

The mercenary who was in charge of the registration seemed more lazy than Hua Li, with his hands folded behind his head, leaning on the chair, and glanced at the big man in front of him, "You smashed the table, lose the money and get out."

The big man was irritated by his attitude, "If you don't let me sign up, you will have to pay me money, shit!"

Kino sat on an ancient tree and shook his head.

He just came to watch the fun, and didn't intend to intervene. This big man obviously doesn't know how big the sky is, let alone how much he weighs. He dares to act wild in the headquarters of the mercenary union. Convergence, it is estimated that he will not be able to walk out intact.

Kino mourned for him in his heart.

Hua Li raised his face, and looked at Qino, "Why did you run out today alone, without being with that big log?"

Kino's face turned green. Ever since Xi Wei said those words last time, he always felt very uncomfortable. Although there seemed to be no change on the surface, there was an inexplicable awkwardness in his heart, and he intentionally or unintentionally avoided Xi Wei. dimension.

Hua Li saw it in her eyes and actually understood it very well in her heart, but she just wanted to tease Kino.

When Cao Cao arrived, the sharp-eyed Kino immediately saw a certain protagonist in the crowd, but Xi Wei didn't seem to notice him yet, so he shrank back into the leaves, praying not to be discovered.

Praying is useful, Xi Wei didn't see him, it seems.
