I know the taste of the sea

Hearing this, Shen Jue subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out of Lu Shi's.

But helplessly, Lu Shi's strength was much greater, and Shen Jue could not succeed.

He pursed his lips slightly and lowered his head even more, obviously resisting.

But Lu Shi didn't give up because of this: "I won't laugh at you, nor will I be afraid of you."

He said, "Just as you are not afraid of me, I swear, as long as you are not afraid of me, I will never be afraid of you."

He actually wanted to say "As long as you don't treat me as a monster, I will never treat you as a monster", but he was afraid that a child like Shen Jue would not understand the meaning, so he could only try to simplify his meaning as much as possible.

Shen Jue bit his lip: "Really?"

His voice was much weaker: "There is a big gap between me and ordinary people."

Lu Shi: "Me too."

He said: "Didn't you see my eyes? There is a big gap between my eyes and normal people's eyes, isn't it?"

"But yours is very beautiful." Shen Jue whispered, "It's even more beautiful than the blue sky."

Lu Shi: "But I don't like it, maybe just like you don't like your appearance but like mine, I will also like what you don't like."

These words are very convoluted, but a child's thoughts are so simple, Shen Jue understood Lu Shi's meaning almost immediately.

He hooked his lips and smiled, obviously amused by Lu Shi's words: "Then, if you don't like it, don't tell me, okay?"

Shen Jue said humbly: "Because I like you very much, I don't want to be hated by the person I like."

Lu Shi was obviously amused by him. He bent his eyes, but made a serious promise: "No, I swear. If you like me, I will like you. No matter what you look like."

after all……

This is the only person in his 14-year career who said he liked him and said he was beautiful.

Shen Jue nodded.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and told himself that no matter what kind of situation he saw, he could not react in a way that would make the child sad.

This prince, who has never understood nervousness since he was a child, understood for the first time that when people are extremely nervous, their hands really shake and they really forget to breathe.

He carefully grabbed Shen Jue's hat, and in order to avoid Shen Jue's disgust, he said very thoughtfully: "Then I took it off?"

Shen Jue tugged on his sleeve tightly: "Yes."

Probably because of his good mentality, the little boy murmured softly: "Pick it up, just pick it up, and ask me why."

Lu Shi couldn't help but smile, the smile rippled in his eyes and spread to his heart.

He was obviously on the run now, but he felt unprecedented emotions.

be happy.

The child in front of him can make him feel happy with just one move or one word.

This is also unprecedented.

Lu Shi gently took off his hat, and was immediately stunned.

The child probably took a bath by the river, and his hair and face were not as dirty as he imagined, nor were they as ugly as those starving people he had seen on the way to escape.

On the contrary, the child is clean, even if there are some bruises and scratches on the face, the face is thin without a trace of baby fat, but it is not so thin that it looks out of shape.

The child's hair was not trimmed, so when the hat was picked up, all the hair fell out of the hat.

Although it has been tied together because it has not been washed for a while, it is still relatively smooth and clean.

The moment it fell, a piece of light gold flashed across Lu Shi's eyes.

Like the sun shining, also like a butterfly that has never seen before flapping its wings.

But the scenery at this moment is so beautiful that Lu Shi can't take his eyes off it.

Not to mention that what was hidden under the hat was not as creepy as Lu Shi imagined.

No birthmarks, no disfigurements, no grisly scenes.

Some are just a pair of eyes that should be possessed by gods.

It is light gold of the same color as the hair, but it is more agile and sacred.

Shen Jue blinked slightly, and Lu Shi knew it wasn't "like" this time.

His fluttering eyelashes are the wings of real golden butterflies, and the moment they flap, they land on his heart.

He can't wave it away, and he doesn't want to wave it away.

Lu Shi clutched Shen Jue's hat, and didn't dislike how dirty the hat was. He just stared blankly at the child in front of him. His language system was defeated in front of him, and even his physical instincts were lost.

He even forgot to blink or breathe, he only knew to look at Shen Jue.

Even if they are thin, even with injuries on their faces, some people are like this.

Nothing can hide his light.

It was the first time Lu Shi saw such a beautiful person.

You just look at him and you can never forget it.

He will even worship you, he looks at you, you obviously have done nothing, but you will feel guilty for no reason.

Lu Shi thought maybe the kid in front of him had supernatural powers.

It is the kind of ability that cannot be detected. The power of the ability is to make everyone willingly kneel at his feet and worship.

Unlike his family, which bears the sin behind it, is the spirit that oppresses others.

This kid doesn't need to do anything, just standing here is enough for countless people to worship him as a god.

Such a person would be regarded as a monster?

Lu Shi thought it was incredible.

If it was him, if he settled down, if he held the palace...

He would have wanted to move him into the palace.

You don't have to do anything, just looking at it is enough.

"...What, what's wrong?"

Seeing his silence for a long time, Shen Jue couldn't help feeling a little nervous, wanting to snatch the hat in his hand and put it on again: "Don't keep talking..."

Lu Shi subconsciously evaded, not letting him take back the thing that covered the scenery in front of him: "No."

It took him a long time to come to his senses: "It's very beautiful."

Lu Shi looked at Shen Jue solemnly, almost taking all of Shen Jue's expressions, and even every strand of hair into his eyes moment by moment.

He said: "You are also the most beautiful person I have ever seen, bar none."

In order to reassure the child, Lu Shi added: "Not in the future."

Shen Jue couldn't hold back his laughter, his smile was more vivid, and he was no longer such a rigid Qingfeng Jiyue: "What does 'no one' mean?"

After Lu Shi explained it to him, Shen Jue smiled even brighter, and even Ruguang's eyebrows and eyes were stained with a pleasant look.

For six-year-old Shen Jue, starting from meeting Lu Shi today is the happiest moment in all his memories.

Especially at night, when the two of them curled up together on the quilt, they were covered with another damp quilt that Shen Jue pulled out from another house. In fact, it is a bit aggrieved, let alone adding Shen Jue.

But Lu Shi didn't say anything, and was worried that Shen Jue would fall asleep on the floor, and even after obtaining Shen Jue's consent, he hugged the little Shen Jue into his arms.

Shen Jue blinked and leaned against him, whispering: "You are very warm."

So Lu Shi hugged him even tighter: "I'm not very afraid of the cold. If you're going out tomorrow, wear my coat."

- "No, I'm not going out."

- "Well, that's fine."

- "We have to hide here for a while."

- "They won't find out here?"

Shen Jue huddled in his arms and nodded: "They won't come, I'm the only one who dares to come here."

Lu Shi was a little surprised, when he heard the muffled voice of a child in his arms: "Because many people died here."

Lu Shi was stunned, and Shen Jue said: "It was last year, many people were sick, and they couldn't be cured. They killed them all, and those who were not sick were also killed. They also sprayed a lot of water here. , no one dared to come in."

Six-year-old children don't understand too many things, but 14-year-old Lu Shi is different.

When Lu Shi finished speaking, he understood instantly.

It's a nasty infectious disease!

He wasn't afraid that he and Shen Jue would be infected, after all Shen Jue also said that he was always fine here, the problem was——

No one reported it.

No one in Silo City reported this!

And killing patients privately is also a violation of Talos' law!

these people!

Lu Shi's brows and eyes became sharp again in an instant.

He must return to the imperial capital and seize the throne.

If a side line is allowed to succeed, if those people with evil intentions are allowed to be pushed into puppets... I don't know how many Silo cities there will be!

His father always looked like this when he was in power, if those people are completely in power...

Lu Shi frowned, the Talos Empire would be destroyed by them.

"what happened to you?"

As if aware of his emotional changes, Shen Jue hugged him with some worry: "Don't be afraid, you won't get sick, you'll be fine a long time ago. They just think that this is, that's what's wrong with you?"

"It's bad luck." Lu Shi sighed softly, not letting his emotions affect the child in his arms: "I'll teach you tomorrow."

Shen Jue laughed again immediately: "Okay! I can go to class now!"

He smiled and said, "I don't have parents, so I envy those who have parents and can still go to class."

Lu Shi patiently straightened his knotted hair a little bit: "But I envy those who don't have parents."

Shen Jue let out an "ah": "Why?"

Probably because the child in front of him was too simple, or there were other reasons, Lu Shi showed his emotions in front of outsiders for the first time: "Because...they don't like me."

"They only like my brother, and I never understood it." After all, Lu Shi was a 14-year-old boy, and he would gamble in his heart: "I am obviously better than my brother in everything, and I am better than my brother in everything, but they Just don't like me. They think I'm a monster."

Shen Jue also didn't understand: "But they are your parents, why do they think you are a monster?"

Lu Shi thought for a while: "The teacher told Brother Pomu that it might be because I am too powerful and smart, and they are afraid."

Shen Jue couldn't understand it even more: "But if I have a very powerful and smart child, I will be super happy, why should I be afraid?"

Lu Shi was silent for a moment: "I don't know either."

No, actually he knew.

This is the sorrow of the Talos family, and the ridicule of the royal family.

His father was afraid that his underage child would usurp the throne because he was too powerful and smart.

It never occurred to me that they are actually family members, the existence that supports each other.

Lu Shi pursed his lips and hugged Shen Jue even tighter, as if he could release his long suppressed emotions little by little.

And Shen Jue didn't push him away, instead he patted his back lightly: "It's okay, it's not sad."

He blinked and said, "Brother Lu Shi, I won't be afraid of you, I will always like you."
