Don't be angry, I didn't see it. "
"I'm not angry." Looking at her pitiful look, she pulled her sleeves, the Duke would not take it upon her if he was angry, and he opened his thin lips lightly, and a sentence overflowed: "Let's go, eat." .”
"Well, good. Ah—" Leng Xing responded, suddenly felt a sharp pain...she raised her hand to cover her stomach.
Her stomach started to lose its chain again. The so-called hunger without a meal is basically irrelevant when it is put on others, but it can cause big things to her, big things, related to health and even life.
When the Duke saw her like this, he didn't care about getting angry, so he hugged Leng Xing horizontally, and with a flash of silver light, the two of them disappeared.
Putting Leng Xing, who was dying of pain, on the bed, covered the quilt, while the Duke sent errands for his subordinates to buy food, and at the same time used spiritual power to heat the water... because she didn't know how to use a gas stove.
The purpose of the pure and huge spiritual power of the poor and incomparably noble pure-blooded Duke Rose is to boil hot water for her human girl? !I really don't know whether it will be beneficial or detrimental to the duke if it spreads out.
Seeing Leng Xing's face turning pale from the pain, but biting his lips hard, the Duke's fingertips ruthlessly pinched into his palm, leaving faint traces of blood.What kind of willpower can make a person who is obviously in pain so hard to bear, but try hard to suppress it in order not to reveal the slightest bit and not to worry his lover?
After giving Leng Xing the medicine and the food, after tossing and tossing for a long time, the Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does it still hurt?" Her voice was unconsciously stiff, how could she soften up after Leng Xing tossed herself like this.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. You... you're not angry, are you?"
Are you still asking me if I am angry?Of course angry!
"Crack-"
The Duke was in a trance, and in a fit of rage, the glass directly turned into powder in her hands.
"You... are your hands okay?" Leng Xing didn't care about the stomachache, hurriedly got up to check the Duke's hands, looking over and over again, she refused to let go of every inch of skin.Glass powder and shards fell to the floor, but the Duke's hand was still intact.
"Are you crazy?! What kind of glass are you pinching?! You don't know how worried I would be if you hurt me?!!!" The patient really had a bad temper, seeing that the Duke was fine, he roared after worrying.
"What about you? Fascinated by reading? You don't answer text messages or answer calls. You toss yourself like this, and ask me if I'm angry? Do you think I'm angry?" Leng Xing frightened to death, the Duke finally broke out, hissing sound overflowed, it sounded like a snake spitting out a letter.
The blue eyes flashed dangerously, and the duke's expression could be described as terrifying.
The reason why she didn't yell was purely because self-cultivation was at work.
"Yes, I'm obsessed with reading. I'm wrong. I just hope to get good grades. Is it wrong?! I don't take medicine seriously, how can I be responsible to others?! From now on, all I have in my hands are human lives! It's not a joke I asked you if you were angry or not because I cared, is it wrong to care about your mood?! Do you know how scary you were just now!!!”
"Don't change the subject casually, I hope you can take care of your body." The Duke said word by word, with a cold tone, "As for my body, you don't need to worry about it, I will take care of it myself."
"You take care?! You make yourself half dead at every turn, you think I don't know?! You were in a hurry to leave that day and you trembled all over, you think I don't know?! Your face is paler than dead people in the early morning of Christmas, you think I don't know? I just don’t want to expose you, it doesn’t mean I’m a fool! You don’t look at what I’m learning! Do you know that it hurts to see you, and I have to pretend not to know, how do I feel?!”
She lost control, and finally yelled crazily, her voice hoarse.The eyes that usually look hazy as if shrouded in mist are now shining with a strangely blazing light.The pain in the hand after writing for a whole day, the pain in the eyes after reading the book for a whole day, and the pain in the stomach caused by not eating in time, all combined together, it is not as good as seeing the glass smashed in her hand at that time, worrying about it. Does she hurt the pain in my heart.
"I don't know. But now I know." The voice was as soft as a wordless, like a breeze gliding across the cheeks.The Duke stroked her hair with his hand, and his tone softened, "I shouldn't be angry with you, sorry, baby."
All the frosty cold disappeared, and the tenderness in the Duke's eyes was like a warm current surrounding her lover: "It's my fault, don't be angry anymore, it's not good for your health."
The Duke took off his coat and climbed into bed, hugging her human girl tightly.
The author has something to say: Hey hey, we finally quarreled... If there is no quarrel, how can it be in line with life?
It is impossible for these two people not to quarrel, because their personalities are quite different.Leng Xing is basically the kind who carries freedom to the end. For her, intimacy is a kind of bondage to a certain extent, so she and the Duke get along more like friends than lovers, but her growth environment determines her emotions. missing.Because Leng Xing grew up in a business family, and the family used to run a company, so...you know, parents are busy with work, regardless of children, who are materially rich but spiritually poor. Her optimism is equivalent to a kind of self-hypnosis. Escape, unwilling to face the lonely and empty side of my heart, but escaping cannot completely solve the problem.So she is quite contradictory.
And the Duke...she grew up in a ruling class family, and she is destined to be affected by political issues whether she thinks about it or not, so it can be seen that the Duke is elegant, calm, friendly, and clear in rewards and punishments on the surface. Eyes, but... She has a violent, bloody and cruel side in her nature, and she is merciless in killing killers. It's just that she is a politician, so... she is well disguised.It was also mentioned many times in the article that she didn't want Leng Xing to discover this side of her, and the Duke was often helpless.
Therefore, it is also a contradiction, Leng Xing is born with a personality contradiction caused by the environment, this contradiction is real; and the Duke's contradiction... She is not actually contradictory, one side is her protective color.
Chapter 33 Sword out of the sheath (middle)
"I'm sorry..." She heard choking from the slightly hoarse voice.
"No need to apologize." The Duke stroked Leng Xing's cheek with his hand, wiping away the cold tears, "It's just... a lot of things are pressing in my heart, I dare not say it, and I can't vent it, it's my fault."
The duke was extremely stubborn, but Leng Xing had already apologized, so she softened.To put it bluntly, it is soft and not hard - only Leng Xing, for others, it is soft and not hard.
"I...you always show up when I need it most, protect me and help me, but...I never gave you anything..." Leng Xing sobbed sadly, "Every time I see you, I feel very uncomfortable and I don't know what to do..." She buried her face in the Duke's neck, and the Duke could feel the warm liquid slipping down, and then——
She comforted her lover, but then a strange feeling seized her.
"Quick... leave me quickly..." She bit her lips fiercely, trying to restrain the crazy commotion in her body, the sweet smell permeated the air, and the Duke was so stimulated by the smell of blood that he almost went crazy.
"What?" Leng Xing was puzzled, and raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips, the scarlet liquid was particularly conspicuous on the fair skin of the palm of his hand.
"What the hell are you... doing...?"
The moment the aroma of blood rushed into the nasal cavity, reason turned into nothingness. The Duke clasped his hands tightly into his arms, his long silver hair fluttered, and his eyes were scarlet like blood.
"What's the matter with you?" Leng Xing wiped the blood off his palm with a piece of paper indifferently, and walked towards the Duke with a frown.
"Don't come here!" Her teeth bit her lips hard, and her sharp fangs gleamed under the light.
Under the lure of blood, the Duke's consciousness quickly began to lose, everything in front of his eyes became blurred, and the desire for blood in his mind almost surpassed everything else, but she desperately maintained her sanity, and she must not hurt Leng Xing!
Therefore, Leng Xing saw the Duke in front of him, holding his head in pain like a mental patient, and rampaging around.Only the pain caused by the destruction could bring her back to her sanity, otherwise she would have lost consciousness long ago, and would suck up Leng Xing's blood by instinct.
"Thirsty...Thirsty for blood?!" Leng Xing widened his eyes and finally understood everything.
"Damn it...you get lost!!!" the Duke roared, trying to mobilize his spiritual power to teleport instantly, but his consciousness was so slack that he couldn't use any strength, only instinct drove her to approach Leng Xing, but she was burned The belief in her bones prevented her from moving towards Leng Xing again, so all this became extremely ridiculous. The Duke seemed to be drunk and staggered... No, it was her instinct and reason that were struggling.
Without saying a word, Leng Xing immediately disappeared from the Duke's eyes, and the extremely alluring smell gradually faded away.Although the extreme thirst for blood in her body was still burning every nerve of the Duke like a fire, she was already a little relieved.
That's fine, I won't hurt you.
The blood in his eyes became clearer, the Duke restrained himself and stood up, but after a while, Leng Xing appeared in front of her again, the sharp blade in his hand reflected the sharp light.
"You... What are you doing?!" With a hissing voice, in order to restrain her impulse, she gritted her teeth and asked, with an ominous premonition in her heart.
The light of the knife flashed, followed by a sweet smell that was a hundred times stronger than before - the smell of blood.
The Duke was almost going crazy, his blood-red eyes fixed on Leng Xing, flashing with a gluttonous light, but reason prompted her to raise her arm, the sharp fangs sank directly into the skin, and the blood dripped from the pale skin. slip on and off.
"Drink it!" An unusually firm voice, the sweetness in the nasal cavity has never been so strong.
This feeling... No words are enough to describe it. Even the temptation of 100% pure heroin for addicts is not as good as one-tenth of the temptation that the Duke is facing now.
"Get out!" She was going crazy.
"I don't!" Leng Xing pinched the Duke's chin, and brought the blood-dripping wrist to her mouth. The dark red blood fell into her mouth like silk threads. Return to the original clear and bright blue sky color.
"Oh my god... what did I do?" Reason came back to my mind, and then an incomparably delicious smell filled my whole body.
She backed away in fear, raised her hand to wipe her lips, looked at the blood on her finger, and was at a loss, and froze in place.
She actually sucked the blood of her lover!
That was the person she swore to protect with all she had, no matter her life, no matter what, she would not hesitate to pay any price!
However, her blood was staining the bright fangs, her blood was spreading in her mouth, and her fragrance filled her whole body.
The blood that had been lingering in her dreams for countless times, the blood that she couldn't ask for, is now like a steel wire strangling her neck, telling her how she hurt her lover and how she betrayed her oath.
The Duke sat on the ground, curled up in a ball, with dark red blood stains on his collar.She hugged her knees and shivered, her heart was occupied by fear and guilt like never before.Not when massacring thousands of people, not when in a desperate situation, facing death that may come at any time-the fear is only a moment, and then it is calm.
Fate sometimes happens, she doesn't believe in fate, but she can face her own failures calmly, even if it is death, not every time she has such good luck.
But now, she was afraid, not so much the fear of hurting her lover, but rather the fear of betraying herself.
She is out of control.
"Is it better now?" The girl in front of her knelt down and reached out to rub her cheek.
The warm touch calmed her flustered heart, but immediately followed by stronger panic.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I actually..." She buried her head between her knees, trembling like a helpless child.
Never bows to anyone, never compromises with anyone, the Duke of Rose who is able to calmly command in the face of a menacing army that is overwhelming the city, the Duke of Rose who is able to calmly plan to deal with the complex political situation of intrigue The deadly spiritual power can also let go. The desperate Duke Rose is not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of death, endures humiliation and torture, always struggles, and never gives up. The Duke Rose is like a helpless child at this moment, not daring to face it. Her lover dared not face up to the crime she had committed.
She hurt the very person she most wanted to protect.
"It's not your fault." Leng Xing exerted a little force, forcing her head up with her slender fingers, "It's my fault, which made you worry, stubborn, lose your temper, and be unreasonable. You have never done anything wrong, you have Your space, you have the freedom not to report everything to me. Even if we are a couple, you are an independent individual with your own secrets."
"But... I actually..." She still couldn't utter those words.
"That's not what you want, I forced you." That face that can show a bright smile and be covered with boundless depression is very calm and serious at the moment, unlike her who often jumps and is not calm, "You try to resist , Restraining your own desires, I gave it to you voluntarily."
The black eyes were so deep that there was no light at all, but they made her feel very at ease.
"So, it wasn't that you got out of control and sucked my blood, but I forced you to drink my blood." The tone was cold and calm, just like her lingling piano sound, "You are not wrong."
The sudden deep voice seemed to engrave these words in her heart.
You are not wrong, you are not forcing me, I am forcing you.
"But..." she said in a trembling voice, her eyes fixed on the white gauze on the other's wrist, even though the color of the gauze and the skin was so similar that it was almost impossible to tell them apart, but it was particularly glaring in her eyes, reminding her of the white gauze on the wrist. The owner was injured because of her.
"It was I who moved the knife, and I forced you to drink my blood. How dare you be naughty!" Leng Xing's voice was cold, and she finally seemed to get angry after losing all patience, "My stomach still hurts, I don't want to do it on the ground. Some of these are gone, it’s freezing to death.”
"Sorry……"
"I'm sorry bastard, if you let me squat on the ground to accompany you in the cold, I will ignore you again! It's so cold!"
After hearing this, the Duke hastily picked her up and stuffed her into the quilt, using his spiritual power to keep her warm.
"Actually... I'm not angry." The Duke felt a pair of arms on her neck, and the face facing him was full of smiles.
"I just yelled deliberately because I didn't want to see you continue to struggle. Is the past gone? It's just a little bit of blood. Compared with what you gave me, it's nothing at all."
The Duke wanted to say something, but Leng Xing stopped her and continued.
"Even if you didn't give me anything, I won't watch you thirsty for blood but just watch. Not only is my belief in wanting to be a doctor not allowing me to turn a blind eye, but there is also a more important point."
The Duke looked at Leng Xing, and never felt that such a playful person would have such a serious and affectionate moment.
"You are my love." She whispered in the Duke's ear.
"I haven't had time to give you a New Year's gift, so I'll treat it as a gift for you, don't you think it's disgusting?"
"..." Just as the Duke was about to reply that he didn't dislike it, he heard her speak again.
"Hmph, you don't even dare to measure." There was a slight threat in his eyes.
The Duke wanted to laugh a little now.
"So... write off what happened tonight, okay? I made you worry, forced you, and you also lost your temper at me to scare people, so don't care about it, okay?" She smiled mischievously, and pecked the Duke's lips lightly.
"Yeah." The Duke nodded slightly.
"Hey, two for one, so I've earned it~" With a cheerful tone, Leng Xing's face was as beaming as a child getting candy.
The Duke was amused by her nonsensical logic and her little complacency.
Actually... Leng Xing was not that happy at all, her stomach was still hurting like hell, as a medical student, it was impossible for her not to be aware of the seriousness of stomach bleeding, but——
She didn't want to watch the Duke blame herself, get angry, or suppress herself like that.
What's more, mentioning at this time that he couldn't get rid of the pain and couldn't find a solution would only make the Duke more worried, and he would blame himself more for "hurting the patient" and fall into negative emotions that he couldn't extricate himself from.
Therefore, whether it is tough, whether it is unreasonable to play tantrums, whether it is happy, or deliberately "threats" her, it is all staged.
There is only one purpose, to make the Duke forget about her drinking her own blood as soon as possible.The Duke was unhappy, how could Leng Xing, who was as sensitive as a radar, not be able to see it, she endured the pain to act in such a play just because her illness could not be cured at the moment, but she could still relieve the Duke.
No one knows that under such a warm and cheerful, heartless mask, there is a soul that is so calm and rational that it can even be said to be ruthless.She can be desperate, put aside all emotions and feelings, just quickly calculate the loss and approach when things come, and do everything she can.
Just like her creed of bringing the essence of lazy people to the extreme - don't do futile things, don't waste effort that you know is useless.
Therefore, whether ignoring her own pain or acting to comfort the Duke, she is only carrying out her creed, because speaking out the pain cannot relieve the pain, but acting can relieve the Duke, although——she loves the Duke, but she has been working hard Hide and not reveal this.
Love is useless, but doing everything you can is useful.
In the darkness, the Duke closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep, while Leng Xing, a human girl who seemed heartless and loved jumping up and down, looked at her lover who finally stopped blaming herself, and showed a faint smile .
The next day, Leng Xing told the Duke that she was going back to the dormitory to find her roommate, so she left.
She just went to the hospital because she didn't want the duke to worry, but her reason told her she had to go.
So, with her heavy schoolbag on her back, she first ran to school to put it down, then turned around and went to the hospital.
The Duke knew all of this, including her test results—fortunately, nothing happened.
The Duke deeply felt the pain that Leng Xing yelled at her before. At that time, she only said those soft words to appease Leng Xing as soon as possible. In fact, she didn't have any experience.
Do you know how it feels to look at you so uncomfortable, and I still have to pretend not to know? !
The duke finally experienced this feeling like a stick in his throat, and it was even more painful.
Because her pain was not caused by Leng Xing, but Leng Xing's pain was inextricably related to her... At least, she would think so, she didn't take good care of her lover.
The only difference is that Leng Xing was aggrieved because she gave in to the Duke. She could say it, but she chose not to say it. She didn't want the Duke to be embarrassed after being exposed like that, and she couldn't help herself.
Don't do useless things, since exposing her, the Duke will be embarrassed, and Leng Xing will still be in pain; if you don't expose her, you will just feel aggrieved, but the Duke will avoid the embarrassment and the trouble of being exposed, it is better to choose to bear it all by yourself.
The duke is aggrieved because...she can't say.Leng Xing is so perceptive that he sent someone to follow her 24 hours a day. Although the starting point was to ensure her safety, for Leng Xing who valued freedom more than life, he was undoubtedly stepping on a thunderbolt.She can choose to act stupid and turn a blind eye in order to prevent the Duke from feeling that her personal freedom and space have been violated, or she can get angry and fight to the end because her own freedom and space have been violated, or even make the trouble more serious.How could the duke, who has been immersed in countless politicians and always needs to figure out people's hearts, not understand this truth.
Although after Leng Xing found out her identity, the duke did the same before they reconciled, but at that time, she didn't have the pain of "still pretending not to know", because she didn't dare to get close to Leng Xing, so she didn't There is a problem with "pretending".
So, now she felt the same way, and she was glad that Leng Xing was fine.If Leng Xing unfortunately suffers from XXXX or something like "incurable disease" or "incurable disease", I believe she hasn't changed much because of the illness, and the Duke has already been tortured to death by his split spirit.
This feeling of "You know something bad is going to happen, but you can't stop it or even say it" is more insane than the pathetic feeling of being ignorant but finally forced to know the truth and realize that you have been deceived all the time, because- torture your time longer.
But even so, what the Duke should conceal is still concealed. It is impossible for her to involve Leng Xing in the political struggle within the blood clan, because she firmly believes that although Leng Xing will be tortured for "pretending not to know when he knows it", he will always It's better than letting her know what she shouldn't know and being arrested and silenced.Life is more important than anything else.
Therefore, in essence, these two people are indeed a natural pair. Even though they are of different races, they are the same gender, but they are both stubborn to achieve their own goals at all costs.For them, achieving their goals takes precedence over caring for other people's thoughts and feelings, because "two interests are more important, and it is for your own good."Of course, both of them can take the best into account. If one has to be discarded, it must be to achieve the goal first, because they all firmly believe that their approach is correct.In this way, it also laid the fuse for the final outbreak in the future.
The author has something to say: I admit that this chapter was written on a temporary basis. The meaning of "sword" itself is not about quarrels and conflicts between lovers, but about war and the two-sided nature of war.It's just... It seems that compared with the plan, going directly to the war scene is too fast, and it will be very abrupt.
However, it is not impossible to compare the quarrel between couples with swords. On the one hand, quarreling will hurt each other. On the other hand, quarreling is also a way to communicate with each other and express their hearts, which may also help resolve conflicts.This is one of the meanings of "swords can hurt people, but also protect people".
About the duke drinking Leng Xing’s blood, well, I’ve shown it to Mr. Wene in the message. Although there was this setting at the time, the originally planned time should be later, but suddenly it’s a little earlier... because of Leng Xing Star's blood still has a very important role.
The young couple quarreled at the end of the bed, and the two were not out of principle, they just cared too much about each other and were anxious to get angry. Naturally... everything will be fine soon~
Chapter 34 Sword out of the sheath (Part [-])
January 2014, 1, in the evening.
Leng Xing went home relieved, thinking that everything he had done hadn't been exposed.The Duke waited for her to come back in a complicated mood. All kinds of things entangled in her heart made her go crazy, but she couldn't be crazy. Accident is all ruined.
At this time, Leng Xing had already started to review the notes, while the Duke was flipping through the book, absent-mindedly, trying to calm down his emotions, but the clattering sound of flipping the pages betrayed her irritability.
It's just that Leng Xing, who was about to be driven crazy by the exam, didn't notice that she was painstakingly reciting those extremely complicated, tangled and distorted nerve pathways.If there was such a mess of nerves in front of her at this moment, she would definitely chop up the mess quickly and chop them up to vent the hatred in her heart.
A few hours passed, Leng Xing put down the book and saw the Duke was lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" She tried to bring the Duke's mind back to reality.
"I'm just... thinking about something." The Duke replied truthfully, as long as it wasn't something that must never be said, she didn't intend to hide it anymore.Leng Xing has already confessed that she is not a fool, and the Duke can't continue to fool her. She knows that Leng Xing is not a patient person.
What's up?She asked the Duke with her eyes, but did not speak.
"What if..." the Duke spoke slowly, as if he was deliberate on his words, "what if a father insists on letting his daughter marry someone he doesn't love regardless of her feelings?"
"Are you reading novels again?" Leng Xing smiled, she really didn't expect her to be entangled in such a thing, what era is this, and there is no such thing as an arranged marriage.
"Hmm." The Duke's voice was inaudible. Strictly speaking, she was indeed reading a novel, but this matter had nothing to do with the novel at all.
Leng Xing couldn't help laughing.The Duke would actually be entangled in this kind of thing, but since she asked, Leng Xing would definitely think carefully about the answer, otherwise it would not be in line with her nature to "show off her high IQ". Stars have a lot to show off.
"According to logical reasoning, the daughter has only two ways to go, resist or accept."
"Is there no third way?" It's not that she doesn't know, but she doesn't want to choose any one.
"No. I believe that my daughter tends to choose the first one because she is a 'person who doesn't love', but the point is whether she has the ability to go this way."
"Ok?"
"Since this problem will arise, it must be like this - she can't resist this decision, but she is unwilling to accept this ending. If the daughter can resist, the problem will not exist. Therefore, it must be that the father's strength is far behind. Far stronger than the daughter, so there will be the so-called 'third way'.
"I can tell you, based on history and what happened around me, no. But the key question is, why?"
"Why did this happen?"
"Yes. According to common sense, the relationship between a father and his daughter will definitely be closer than that of his son-in-law. There is only one reason for a father to break this relationship and force his daughter."
"Benefit."
"Benefit."
The two blurted out at the same time, and the duke felt that the complicated things finally had an answer, an answer that couldn't be simpler, but was often shrouded in layers of fog.
"I don't know about your growing up experience, but my dear, I grew up in a businessman's family. Although I failed to inherit the family business for some reasons that I don't want to talk about, but... usually this kind of thing will only It happens in business or politics, which is the world I used to see as a kid."
Leng Xing smiled lightly, regarding the past...he really didn't want to talk about it.
She leaned on the Duke's shoulder, hugged her and continued: "The world is prosperous, it is all for profit, and the world is hustle and bustle, it is all for profit. The reason for breaking the blood relationship and making the biological father 'disregard the daughter's feelings' is only possible. Yes - the guilt he felt for his daughter's pain was far less than the benefit he could gain by marrying her to someone she didn't love."
"What if... the father is not his own?"
"Ah, that's easier to explain. The so-called daughter is a bargaining chip. In fact, anything in this world can be used as a bargaining chip. The difference is only the weight."
There was a strong sarcasm in her voice, her black eyes were bottomless, and there was a sarcastic expression on her face.
"Then you can't resist, can you just accept it?"
The Duke really wanted to hear Leng Xing's opinion. The so-called bystander is clear. Perhaps as a bystander, Leng Xing can give a better solution, because she will not be disturbed by those intricate entanglements.
"No, I don't think so."
At this time, Leng Xing had a playful expression, but she was extremely serious. She shook her index finger slightly, and said in a flat tone, "There are no absolutely unsolvable things in this world, only people who can't solve them."
"Huh?" The Duke found that Leng Xing, who looked like a child, was surprisingly mature beyond her age.
"First of all, we have figured out that this matter was caused by an alliance of interests, right? Why is an alliance of interests needed? There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that neither side is strong enough, so we need to use such a bond to form Common interests, mutual support, so that unity can be achieved; the second possibility is that the two sides stand on opposite sides, and such a relationship is needed to ease conflicts and conflicts, so as to achieve a stable situation-because this is the most beneficial.
"In most cases, these two possibilities are combined. Apart from medicine, my favorite subject is history. I often read some history books. Do you know about marriage?"
"Huh? Not very clear."
"Marriage is an important means for ancient Chinese rulers to maintain their rule and achieve peace, that is, to exchange women for peace. Although 'in the history of the Han family, planning is a marriage', it is difficult for the rulers of the past to realize it for the sake of immediate interests. to this point.
"Political marriage can only alleviate the conflict, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem. That's why I said that the daughter is not without a way out, and direct resistance is impossible, because since she can be used as a bargaining chip and can't get rid of it, she must not have enough strength. But , she has an innate advantage..."
"What advantage?"
"The alliance of interests is naturally maintained by interests. If an alliance needs to be formed, and the two are rivals, it proves that the two are largely equal opponents who have to be wary of each other, or at least the difference in strength There will be huge disparities, and neither party is enough to easily eliminate the other. Therefore, marriage is only a temporary compromise, that is, an exchange of interests. As long as you can recognize this point, you can succeed.
"The two sides actually have conflicts, so the key is to seize this conflict, expand it, and intensify the conflict to an irreparable level!" At this time, Leng Xing's eyes were no longer calm, but sharp and compelling.
"How? Since you can choose to negotiate, the conflict must not be that big."
"It's not that big, you can expand it." Leng Xing smiled, "If there is no conflict, you can still create conflicts. Since the two sides can compromise like this, they must understand each other. Presumably there will be many spies and so on. You don't want to counterintuitive tricks." Do you understand? If you don’t understand, it’s okay to sow discord, anyway, each other has suspicions in their hearts, and the information is asymmetric, which can just be used to make a fuss.”
The Duke's eyes lit up instantly.It is indeed a good idea to sow dissension and intensify conflicts.
Leng Xing laughed recklessly and flamboyantly, and finally continued: "As I said, there are no absolutely unsolvable things in this world, only people who can't solve them. It's not that I can't think of it, it's just... I don't want to do it. It's too tiring Why bother? For those benefits I did so ruthlessly, fought and snatched, and finally died like a lamp extinguished, nothing will be taken away... I am not kind, I am just too lazy to do bad things."
A truly kind person must never have thought of such a dark thing.
The Duke was about to ask her how she planned to "intensify the conflict", but he also shut up after hearing these words.
Leng Xing didn't want to think about this kind of thing, even if she had a way, she wouldn't say it, because she didn't want to do it.The reason why she told herself was because she asked, otherwise she would probably never have said it, or even...wouldn't have thought about it.
Her mind can definitely touch the darkest side of human nature, but she avoids it as much as possible, and chooses not to do bad things even if she knows how to do them.
"But... most of the time it's not what you want to do, it's the situation that forces you to do it. If you don't do these things, you can only lose everything, including your life?"
"If it's just me losing my life... I give up, and if I lose it, I'll lose it."
The Duke's eyes widened in surprise.Give up, she said give up!This is absolutely impossible to appear on oneself.Because, even if she is in a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will fight, let alone "as long as you do bad things, you can win".
She didn't know, but Leng Xing still didn't say a word.
Some things are bigger than life and I will do anything to defend them, no matter what can stop me.
The atmosphere was dull and oppressive, as if the air had frozen.After a while, Leng Xing said: "Don't think about it, I can't be so unlucky, because... the past few months have been unlucky enough, and all kinds of weird things happened to me. Now that the bad luck is over, Good luck should come."
She smiled and opened her notebook to play while the Duke resumed his drawing.
"What is your horoscope?"
"I don't know."
"I'm not angry." Looking at her pitiful look, she pulled her sleeves, the Duke would not take it upon her if he was angry, and he opened his thin lips lightly, and a sentence overflowed: "Let's go, eat." .”
"Well, good. Ah—" Leng Xing responded, suddenly felt a sharp pain...she raised her hand to cover her stomach.
Her stomach started to lose its chain again. The so-called hunger without a meal is basically irrelevant when it is put on others, but it can cause big things to her, big things, related to health and even life.
When the Duke saw her like this, he didn't care about getting angry, so he hugged Leng Xing horizontally, and with a flash of silver light, the two of them disappeared.
Putting Leng Xing, who was dying of pain, on the bed, covered the quilt, while the Duke sent errands for his subordinates to buy food, and at the same time used spiritual power to heat the water... because she didn't know how to use a gas stove.
The purpose of the pure and huge spiritual power of the poor and incomparably noble pure-blooded Duke Rose is to boil hot water for her human girl? !I really don't know whether it will be beneficial or detrimental to the duke if it spreads out.
Seeing Leng Xing's face turning pale from the pain, but biting his lips hard, the Duke's fingertips ruthlessly pinched into his palm, leaving faint traces of blood.What kind of willpower can make a person who is obviously in pain so hard to bear, but try hard to suppress it in order not to reveal the slightest bit and not to worry his lover?
After giving Leng Xing the medicine and the food, after tossing and tossing for a long time, the Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does it still hurt?" Her voice was unconsciously stiff, how could she soften up after Leng Xing tossed herself like this.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. You... you're not angry, are you?"
Are you still asking me if I am angry?Of course angry!
"Crack-"
The Duke was in a trance, and in a fit of rage, the glass directly turned into powder in her hands.
"You... are your hands okay?" Leng Xing didn't care about the stomachache, hurriedly got up to check the Duke's hands, looking over and over again, she refused to let go of every inch of skin.Glass powder and shards fell to the floor, but the Duke's hand was still intact.
"Are you crazy?! What kind of glass are you pinching?! You don't know how worried I would be if you hurt me?!!!" The patient really had a bad temper, seeing that the Duke was fine, he roared after worrying.
"What about you? Fascinated by reading? You don't answer text messages or answer calls. You toss yourself like this, and ask me if I'm angry? Do you think I'm angry?" Leng Xing frightened to death, the Duke finally broke out, hissing sound overflowed, it sounded like a snake spitting out a letter.
The blue eyes flashed dangerously, and the duke's expression could be described as terrifying.
The reason why she didn't yell was purely because self-cultivation was at work.
"Yes, I'm obsessed with reading. I'm wrong. I just hope to get good grades. Is it wrong?! I don't take medicine seriously, how can I be responsible to others?! From now on, all I have in my hands are human lives! It's not a joke I asked you if you were angry or not because I cared, is it wrong to care about your mood?! Do you know how scary you were just now!!!”
"Don't change the subject casually, I hope you can take care of your body." The Duke said word by word, with a cold tone, "As for my body, you don't need to worry about it, I will take care of it myself."
"You take care?! You make yourself half dead at every turn, you think I don't know?! You were in a hurry to leave that day and you trembled all over, you think I don't know?! Your face is paler than dead people in the early morning of Christmas, you think I don't know? I just don’t want to expose you, it doesn’t mean I’m a fool! You don’t look at what I’m learning! Do you know that it hurts to see you, and I have to pretend not to know, how do I feel?!”
She lost control, and finally yelled crazily, her voice hoarse.The eyes that usually look hazy as if shrouded in mist are now shining with a strangely blazing light.The pain in the hand after writing for a whole day, the pain in the eyes after reading the book for a whole day, and the pain in the stomach caused by not eating in time, all combined together, it is not as good as seeing the glass smashed in her hand at that time, worrying about it. Does she hurt the pain in my heart.
"I don't know. But now I know." The voice was as soft as a wordless, like a breeze gliding across the cheeks.The Duke stroked her hair with his hand, and his tone softened, "I shouldn't be angry with you, sorry, baby."
All the frosty cold disappeared, and the tenderness in the Duke's eyes was like a warm current surrounding her lover: "It's my fault, don't be angry anymore, it's not good for your health."
The Duke took off his coat and climbed into bed, hugging her human girl tightly.
The author has something to say: Hey hey, we finally quarreled... If there is no quarrel, how can it be in line with life?
It is impossible for these two people not to quarrel, because their personalities are quite different.Leng Xing is basically the kind who carries freedom to the end. For her, intimacy is a kind of bondage to a certain extent, so she and the Duke get along more like friends than lovers, but her growth environment determines her emotions. missing.Because Leng Xing grew up in a business family, and the family used to run a company, so...you know, parents are busy with work, regardless of children, who are materially rich but spiritually poor. Her optimism is equivalent to a kind of self-hypnosis. Escape, unwilling to face the lonely and empty side of my heart, but escaping cannot completely solve the problem.So she is quite contradictory.
And the Duke...she grew up in a ruling class family, and she is destined to be affected by political issues whether she thinks about it or not, so it can be seen that the Duke is elegant, calm, friendly, and clear in rewards and punishments on the surface. Eyes, but... She has a violent, bloody and cruel side in her nature, and she is merciless in killing killers. It's just that she is a politician, so... she is well disguised.It was also mentioned many times in the article that she didn't want Leng Xing to discover this side of her, and the Duke was often helpless.
Therefore, it is also a contradiction, Leng Xing is born with a personality contradiction caused by the environment, this contradiction is real; and the Duke's contradiction... She is not actually contradictory, one side is her protective color.
Chapter 33 Sword out of the sheath (middle)
"I'm sorry..." She heard choking from the slightly hoarse voice.
"No need to apologize." The Duke stroked Leng Xing's cheek with his hand, wiping away the cold tears, "It's just... a lot of things are pressing in my heart, I dare not say it, and I can't vent it, it's my fault."
The duke was extremely stubborn, but Leng Xing had already apologized, so she softened.To put it bluntly, it is soft and not hard - only Leng Xing, for others, it is soft and not hard.
"I...you always show up when I need it most, protect me and help me, but...I never gave you anything..." Leng Xing sobbed sadly, "Every time I see you, I feel very uncomfortable and I don't know what to do..." She buried her face in the Duke's neck, and the Duke could feel the warm liquid slipping down, and then——
She comforted her lover, but then a strange feeling seized her.
"Quick... leave me quickly..." She bit her lips fiercely, trying to restrain the crazy commotion in her body, the sweet smell permeated the air, and the Duke was so stimulated by the smell of blood that he almost went crazy.
"What?" Leng Xing was puzzled, and raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips, the scarlet liquid was particularly conspicuous on the fair skin of the palm of his hand.
"What the hell are you... doing...?"
The moment the aroma of blood rushed into the nasal cavity, reason turned into nothingness. The Duke clasped his hands tightly into his arms, his long silver hair fluttered, and his eyes were scarlet like blood.
"What's the matter with you?" Leng Xing wiped the blood off his palm with a piece of paper indifferently, and walked towards the Duke with a frown.
"Don't come here!" Her teeth bit her lips hard, and her sharp fangs gleamed under the light.
Under the lure of blood, the Duke's consciousness quickly began to lose, everything in front of his eyes became blurred, and the desire for blood in his mind almost surpassed everything else, but she desperately maintained her sanity, and she must not hurt Leng Xing!
Therefore, Leng Xing saw the Duke in front of him, holding his head in pain like a mental patient, and rampaging around.Only the pain caused by the destruction could bring her back to her sanity, otherwise she would have lost consciousness long ago, and would suck up Leng Xing's blood by instinct.
"Thirsty...Thirsty for blood?!" Leng Xing widened his eyes and finally understood everything.
"Damn it...you get lost!!!" the Duke roared, trying to mobilize his spiritual power to teleport instantly, but his consciousness was so slack that he couldn't use any strength, only instinct drove her to approach Leng Xing, but she was burned The belief in her bones prevented her from moving towards Leng Xing again, so all this became extremely ridiculous. The Duke seemed to be drunk and staggered... No, it was her instinct and reason that were struggling.
Without saying a word, Leng Xing immediately disappeared from the Duke's eyes, and the extremely alluring smell gradually faded away.Although the extreme thirst for blood in her body was still burning every nerve of the Duke like a fire, she was already a little relieved.
That's fine, I won't hurt you.
The blood in his eyes became clearer, the Duke restrained himself and stood up, but after a while, Leng Xing appeared in front of her again, the sharp blade in his hand reflected the sharp light.
"You... What are you doing?!" With a hissing voice, in order to restrain her impulse, she gritted her teeth and asked, with an ominous premonition in her heart.
The light of the knife flashed, followed by a sweet smell that was a hundred times stronger than before - the smell of blood.
The Duke was almost going crazy, his blood-red eyes fixed on Leng Xing, flashing with a gluttonous light, but reason prompted her to raise her arm, the sharp fangs sank directly into the skin, and the blood dripped from the pale skin. slip on and off.
"Drink it!" An unusually firm voice, the sweetness in the nasal cavity has never been so strong.
This feeling... No words are enough to describe it. Even the temptation of 100% pure heroin for addicts is not as good as one-tenth of the temptation that the Duke is facing now.
"Get out!" She was going crazy.
"I don't!" Leng Xing pinched the Duke's chin, and brought the blood-dripping wrist to her mouth. The dark red blood fell into her mouth like silk threads. Return to the original clear and bright blue sky color.
"Oh my god... what did I do?" Reason came back to my mind, and then an incomparably delicious smell filled my whole body.
She backed away in fear, raised her hand to wipe her lips, looked at the blood on her finger, and was at a loss, and froze in place.
She actually sucked the blood of her lover!
That was the person she swore to protect with all she had, no matter her life, no matter what, she would not hesitate to pay any price!
However, her blood was staining the bright fangs, her blood was spreading in her mouth, and her fragrance filled her whole body.
The blood that had been lingering in her dreams for countless times, the blood that she couldn't ask for, is now like a steel wire strangling her neck, telling her how she hurt her lover and how she betrayed her oath.
The Duke sat on the ground, curled up in a ball, with dark red blood stains on his collar.She hugged her knees and shivered, her heart was occupied by fear and guilt like never before.Not when massacring thousands of people, not when in a desperate situation, facing death that may come at any time-the fear is only a moment, and then it is calm.
Fate sometimes happens, she doesn't believe in fate, but she can face her own failures calmly, even if it is death, not every time she has such good luck.
But now, she was afraid, not so much the fear of hurting her lover, but rather the fear of betraying herself.
She is out of control.
"Is it better now?" The girl in front of her knelt down and reached out to rub her cheek.
The warm touch calmed her flustered heart, but immediately followed by stronger panic.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I actually..." She buried her head between her knees, trembling like a helpless child.
Never bows to anyone, never compromises with anyone, the Duke of Rose who is able to calmly command in the face of a menacing army that is overwhelming the city, the Duke of Rose who is able to calmly plan to deal with the complex political situation of intrigue The deadly spiritual power can also let go. The desperate Duke Rose is not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of death, endures humiliation and torture, always struggles, and never gives up. The Duke Rose is like a helpless child at this moment, not daring to face it. Her lover dared not face up to the crime she had committed.
She hurt the very person she most wanted to protect.
"It's not your fault." Leng Xing exerted a little force, forcing her head up with her slender fingers, "It's my fault, which made you worry, stubborn, lose your temper, and be unreasonable. You have never done anything wrong, you have Your space, you have the freedom not to report everything to me. Even if we are a couple, you are an independent individual with your own secrets."
"But... I actually..." She still couldn't utter those words.
"That's not what you want, I forced you." That face that can show a bright smile and be covered with boundless depression is very calm and serious at the moment, unlike her who often jumps and is not calm, "You try to resist , Restraining your own desires, I gave it to you voluntarily."
The black eyes were so deep that there was no light at all, but they made her feel very at ease.
"So, it wasn't that you got out of control and sucked my blood, but I forced you to drink my blood." The tone was cold and calm, just like her lingling piano sound, "You are not wrong."
The sudden deep voice seemed to engrave these words in her heart.
You are not wrong, you are not forcing me, I am forcing you.
"But..." she said in a trembling voice, her eyes fixed on the white gauze on the other's wrist, even though the color of the gauze and the skin was so similar that it was almost impossible to tell them apart, but it was particularly glaring in her eyes, reminding her of the white gauze on the wrist. The owner was injured because of her.
"It was I who moved the knife, and I forced you to drink my blood. How dare you be naughty!" Leng Xing's voice was cold, and she finally seemed to get angry after losing all patience, "My stomach still hurts, I don't want to do it on the ground. Some of these are gone, it’s freezing to death.”
"Sorry……"
"I'm sorry bastard, if you let me squat on the ground to accompany you in the cold, I will ignore you again! It's so cold!"
After hearing this, the Duke hastily picked her up and stuffed her into the quilt, using his spiritual power to keep her warm.
"Actually... I'm not angry." The Duke felt a pair of arms on her neck, and the face facing him was full of smiles.
"I just yelled deliberately because I didn't want to see you continue to struggle. Is the past gone? It's just a little bit of blood. Compared with what you gave me, it's nothing at all."
The Duke wanted to say something, but Leng Xing stopped her and continued.
"Even if you didn't give me anything, I won't watch you thirsty for blood but just watch. Not only is my belief in wanting to be a doctor not allowing me to turn a blind eye, but there is also a more important point."
The Duke looked at Leng Xing, and never felt that such a playful person would have such a serious and affectionate moment.
"You are my love." She whispered in the Duke's ear.
"I haven't had time to give you a New Year's gift, so I'll treat it as a gift for you, don't you think it's disgusting?"
"..." Just as the Duke was about to reply that he didn't dislike it, he heard her speak again.
"Hmph, you don't even dare to measure." There was a slight threat in his eyes.
The Duke wanted to laugh a little now.
"So... write off what happened tonight, okay? I made you worry, forced you, and you also lost your temper at me to scare people, so don't care about it, okay?" She smiled mischievously, and pecked the Duke's lips lightly.
"Yeah." The Duke nodded slightly.
"Hey, two for one, so I've earned it~" With a cheerful tone, Leng Xing's face was as beaming as a child getting candy.
The Duke was amused by her nonsensical logic and her little complacency.
Actually... Leng Xing was not that happy at all, her stomach was still hurting like hell, as a medical student, it was impossible for her not to be aware of the seriousness of stomach bleeding, but——
She didn't want to watch the Duke blame herself, get angry, or suppress herself like that.
What's more, mentioning at this time that he couldn't get rid of the pain and couldn't find a solution would only make the Duke more worried, and he would blame himself more for "hurting the patient" and fall into negative emotions that he couldn't extricate himself from.
Therefore, whether it is tough, whether it is unreasonable to play tantrums, whether it is happy, or deliberately "threats" her, it is all staged.
There is only one purpose, to make the Duke forget about her drinking her own blood as soon as possible.The Duke was unhappy, how could Leng Xing, who was as sensitive as a radar, not be able to see it, she endured the pain to act in such a play just because her illness could not be cured at the moment, but she could still relieve the Duke.
No one knows that under such a warm and cheerful, heartless mask, there is a soul that is so calm and rational that it can even be said to be ruthless.She can be desperate, put aside all emotions and feelings, just quickly calculate the loss and approach when things come, and do everything she can.
Just like her creed of bringing the essence of lazy people to the extreme - don't do futile things, don't waste effort that you know is useless.
Therefore, whether ignoring her own pain or acting to comfort the Duke, she is only carrying out her creed, because speaking out the pain cannot relieve the pain, but acting can relieve the Duke, although——she loves the Duke, but she has been working hard Hide and not reveal this.
Love is useless, but doing everything you can is useful.
In the darkness, the Duke closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep, while Leng Xing, a human girl who seemed heartless and loved jumping up and down, looked at her lover who finally stopped blaming herself, and showed a faint smile .
The next day, Leng Xing told the Duke that she was going back to the dormitory to find her roommate, so she left.
She just went to the hospital because she didn't want the duke to worry, but her reason told her she had to go.
So, with her heavy schoolbag on her back, she first ran to school to put it down, then turned around and went to the hospital.
The Duke knew all of this, including her test results—fortunately, nothing happened.
The Duke deeply felt the pain that Leng Xing yelled at her before. At that time, she only said those soft words to appease Leng Xing as soon as possible. In fact, she didn't have any experience.
Do you know how it feels to look at you so uncomfortable, and I still have to pretend not to know? !
The duke finally experienced this feeling like a stick in his throat, and it was even more painful.
Because her pain was not caused by Leng Xing, but Leng Xing's pain was inextricably related to her... At least, she would think so, she didn't take good care of her lover.
The only difference is that Leng Xing was aggrieved because she gave in to the Duke. She could say it, but she chose not to say it. She didn't want the Duke to be embarrassed after being exposed like that, and she couldn't help herself.
Don't do useless things, since exposing her, the Duke will be embarrassed, and Leng Xing will still be in pain; if you don't expose her, you will just feel aggrieved, but the Duke will avoid the embarrassment and the trouble of being exposed, it is better to choose to bear it all by yourself.
The duke is aggrieved because...she can't say.Leng Xing is so perceptive that he sent someone to follow her 24 hours a day. Although the starting point was to ensure her safety, for Leng Xing who valued freedom more than life, he was undoubtedly stepping on a thunderbolt.She can choose to act stupid and turn a blind eye in order to prevent the Duke from feeling that her personal freedom and space have been violated, or she can get angry and fight to the end because her own freedom and space have been violated, or even make the trouble more serious.How could the duke, who has been immersed in countless politicians and always needs to figure out people's hearts, not understand this truth.
Although after Leng Xing found out her identity, the duke did the same before they reconciled, but at that time, she didn't have the pain of "still pretending not to know", because she didn't dare to get close to Leng Xing, so she didn't There is a problem with "pretending".
So, now she felt the same way, and she was glad that Leng Xing was fine.If Leng Xing unfortunately suffers from XXXX or something like "incurable disease" or "incurable disease", I believe she hasn't changed much because of the illness, and the Duke has already been tortured to death by his split spirit.
This feeling of "You know something bad is going to happen, but you can't stop it or even say it" is more insane than the pathetic feeling of being ignorant but finally forced to know the truth and realize that you have been deceived all the time, because- torture your time longer.
But even so, what the Duke should conceal is still concealed. It is impossible for her to involve Leng Xing in the political struggle within the blood clan, because she firmly believes that although Leng Xing will be tortured for "pretending not to know when he knows it", he will always It's better than letting her know what she shouldn't know and being arrested and silenced.Life is more important than anything else.
Therefore, in essence, these two people are indeed a natural pair. Even though they are of different races, they are the same gender, but they are both stubborn to achieve their own goals at all costs.For them, achieving their goals takes precedence over caring for other people's thoughts and feelings, because "two interests are more important, and it is for your own good."Of course, both of them can take the best into account. If one has to be discarded, it must be to achieve the goal first, because they all firmly believe that their approach is correct.In this way, it also laid the fuse for the final outbreak in the future.
The author has something to say: I admit that this chapter was written on a temporary basis. The meaning of "sword" itself is not about quarrels and conflicts between lovers, but about war and the two-sided nature of war.It's just... It seems that compared with the plan, going directly to the war scene is too fast, and it will be very abrupt.
However, it is not impossible to compare the quarrel between couples with swords. On the one hand, quarreling will hurt each other. On the other hand, quarreling is also a way to communicate with each other and express their hearts, which may also help resolve conflicts.This is one of the meanings of "swords can hurt people, but also protect people".
About the duke drinking Leng Xing’s blood, well, I’ve shown it to Mr. Wene in the message. Although there was this setting at the time, the originally planned time should be later, but suddenly it’s a little earlier... because of Leng Xing Star's blood still has a very important role.
The young couple quarreled at the end of the bed, and the two were not out of principle, they just cared too much about each other and were anxious to get angry. Naturally... everything will be fine soon~
Chapter 34 Sword out of the sheath (Part [-])
January 2014, 1, in the evening.
Leng Xing went home relieved, thinking that everything he had done hadn't been exposed.The Duke waited for her to come back in a complicated mood. All kinds of things entangled in her heart made her go crazy, but she couldn't be crazy. Accident is all ruined.
At this time, Leng Xing had already started to review the notes, while the Duke was flipping through the book, absent-mindedly, trying to calm down his emotions, but the clattering sound of flipping the pages betrayed her irritability.
It's just that Leng Xing, who was about to be driven crazy by the exam, didn't notice that she was painstakingly reciting those extremely complicated, tangled and distorted nerve pathways.If there was such a mess of nerves in front of her at this moment, she would definitely chop up the mess quickly and chop them up to vent the hatred in her heart.
A few hours passed, Leng Xing put down the book and saw the Duke was lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" She tried to bring the Duke's mind back to reality.
"I'm just... thinking about something." The Duke replied truthfully, as long as it wasn't something that must never be said, she didn't intend to hide it anymore.Leng Xing has already confessed that she is not a fool, and the Duke can't continue to fool her. She knows that Leng Xing is not a patient person.
What's up?She asked the Duke with her eyes, but did not speak.
"What if..." the Duke spoke slowly, as if he was deliberate on his words, "what if a father insists on letting his daughter marry someone he doesn't love regardless of her feelings?"
"Are you reading novels again?" Leng Xing smiled, she really didn't expect her to be entangled in such a thing, what era is this, and there is no such thing as an arranged marriage.
"Hmm." The Duke's voice was inaudible. Strictly speaking, she was indeed reading a novel, but this matter had nothing to do with the novel at all.
Leng Xing couldn't help laughing.The Duke would actually be entangled in this kind of thing, but since she asked, Leng Xing would definitely think carefully about the answer, otherwise it would not be in line with her nature to "show off her high IQ". Stars have a lot to show off.
"According to logical reasoning, the daughter has only two ways to go, resist or accept."
"Is there no third way?" It's not that she doesn't know, but she doesn't want to choose any one.
"No. I believe that my daughter tends to choose the first one because she is a 'person who doesn't love', but the point is whether she has the ability to go this way."
"Ok?"
"Since this problem will arise, it must be like this - she can't resist this decision, but she is unwilling to accept this ending. If the daughter can resist, the problem will not exist. Therefore, it must be that the father's strength is far behind. Far stronger than the daughter, so there will be the so-called 'third way'.
"I can tell you, based on history and what happened around me, no. But the key question is, why?"
"Why did this happen?"
"Yes. According to common sense, the relationship between a father and his daughter will definitely be closer than that of his son-in-law. There is only one reason for a father to break this relationship and force his daughter."
"Benefit."
"Benefit."
The two blurted out at the same time, and the duke felt that the complicated things finally had an answer, an answer that couldn't be simpler, but was often shrouded in layers of fog.
"I don't know about your growing up experience, but my dear, I grew up in a businessman's family. Although I failed to inherit the family business for some reasons that I don't want to talk about, but... usually this kind of thing will only It happens in business or politics, which is the world I used to see as a kid."
Leng Xing smiled lightly, regarding the past...he really didn't want to talk about it.
She leaned on the Duke's shoulder, hugged her and continued: "The world is prosperous, it is all for profit, and the world is hustle and bustle, it is all for profit. The reason for breaking the blood relationship and making the biological father 'disregard the daughter's feelings' is only possible. Yes - the guilt he felt for his daughter's pain was far less than the benefit he could gain by marrying her to someone she didn't love."
"What if... the father is not his own?"
"Ah, that's easier to explain. The so-called daughter is a bargaining chip. In fact, anything in this world can be used as a bargaining chip. The difference is only the weight."
There was a strong sarcasm in her voice, her black eyes were bottomless, and there was a sarcastic expression on her face.
"Then you can't resist, can you just accept it?"
The Duke really wanted to hear Leng Xing's opinion. The so-called bystander is clear. Perhaps as a bystander, Leng Xing can give a better solution, because she will not be disturbed by those intricate entanglements.
"No, I don't think so."
At this time, Leng Xing had a playful expression, but she was extremely serious. She shook her index finger slightly, and said in a flat tone, "There are no absolutely unsolvable things in this world, only people who can't solve them."
"Huh?" The Duke found that Leng Xing, who looked like a child, was surprisingly mature beyond her age.
"First of all, we have figured out that this matter was caused by an alliance of interests, right? Why is an alliance of interests needed? There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that neither side is strong enough, so we need to use such a bond to form Common interests, mutual support, so that unity can be achieved; the second possibility is that the two sides stand on opposite sides, and such a relationship is needed to ease conflicts and conflicts, so as to achieve a stable situation-because this is the most beneficial.
"In most cases, these two possibilities are combined. Apart from medicine, my favorite subject is history. I often read some history books. Do you know about marriage?"
"Huh? Not very clear."
"Marriage is an important means for ancient Chinese rulers to maintain their rule and achieve peace, that is, to exchange women for peace. Although 'in the history of the Han family, planning is a marriage', it is difficult for the rulers of the past to realize it for the sake of immediate interests. to this point.
"Political marriage can only alleviate the conflict, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem. That's why I said that the daughter is not without a way out, and direct resistance is impossible, because since she can be used as a bargaining chip and can't get rid of it, she must not have enough strength. But , she has an innate advantage..."
"What advantage?"
"The alliance of interests is naturally maintained by interests. If an alliance needs to be formed, and the two are rivals, it proves that the two are largely equal opponents who have to be wary of each other, or at least the difference in strength There will be huge disparities, and neither party is enough to easily eliminate the other. Therefore, marriage is only a temporary compromise, that is, an exchange of interests. As long as you can recognize this point, you can succeed.
"The two sides actually have conflicts, so the key is to seize this conflict, expand it, and intensify the conflict to an irreparable level!" At this time, Leng Xing's eyes were no longer calm, but sharp and compelling.
"How? Since you can choose to negotiate, the conflict must not be that big."
"It's not that big, you can expand it." Leng Xing smiled, "If there is no conflict, you can still create conflicts. Since the two sides can compromise like this, they must understand each other. Presumably there will be many spies and so on. You don't want to counterintuitive tricks." Do you understand? If you don’t understand, it’s okay to sow discord, anyway, each other has suspicions in their hearts, and the information is asymmetric, which can just be used to make a fuss.”
The Duke's eyes lit up instantly.It is indeed a good idea to sow dissension and intensify conflicts.
Leng Xing laughed recklessly and flamboyantly, and finally continued: "As I said, there are no absolutely unsolvable things in this world, only people who can't solve them. It's not that I can't think of it, it's just... I don't want to do it. It's too tiring Why bother? For those benefits I did so ruthlessly, fought and snatched, and finally died like a lamp extinguished, nothing will be taken away... I am not kind, I am just too lazy to do bad things."
A truly kind person must never have thought of such a dark thing.
The Duke was about to ask her how she planned to "intensify the conflict", but he also shut up after hearing these words.
Leng Xing didn't want to think about this kind of thing, even if she had a way, she wouldn't say it, because she didn't want to do it.The reason why she told herself was because she asked, otherwise she would probably never have said it, or even...wouldn't have thought about it.
Her mind can definitely touch the darkest side of human nature, but she avoids it as much as possible, and chooses not to do bad things even if she knows how to do them.
"But... most of the time it's not what you want to do, it's the situation that forces you to do it. If you don't do these things, you can only lose everything, including your life?"
"If it's just me losing my life... I give up, and if I lose it, I'll lose it."
The Duke's eyes widened in surprise.Give up, she said give up!This is absolutely impossible to appear on oneself.Because, even if she is in a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will fight, let alone "as long as you do bad things, you can win".
She didn't know, but Leng Xing still didn't say a word.
Some things are bigger than life and I will do anything to defend them, no matter what can stop me.
The atmosphere was dull and oppressive, as if the air had frozen.After a while, Leng Xing said: "Don't think about it, I can't be so unlucky, because... the past few months have been unlucky enough, and all kinds of weird things happened to me. Now that the bad luck is over, Good luck should come."
She smiled and opened her notebook to play while the Duke resumed his drawing.
"What is your horoscope?"
"I don't know."
