Throne Steps

There is such a street in the city, which is quiet during the day and has few people, but after nightfall, it is full of lights and busy traffic.

This is the place that never sleeps, another mask of the city.When the neon lights up and the darkness comes, people can take off the disguise of the day and put on arrogance or wantonness, and have a carnival all night.

"I still think it's not suitable for you to be near here now."

A slender man stood in a dimly lit place at the intersection, his voice contained a touch of helplessness and slight connivance.He was wearing a well-fitting suit with a tie tied firmly, but the outline of his back and waist made the passing women whistle twice.He has long golden hair, combed into a ponytail and tied behind his head, gently shaking with his movements.

The most regrettable thing is his face—no, it's not that it's ugly, but it's covered by a half-face mask, which makes people only look regretfully at his jawline.

There are some patterns painted on the white mask. When you look closely, you can see that the black wings are actually painted.

The man's right hand is holding a child, or a teenager.

The young man was dressed quite maturely, but his face was really young, which seemed out of place for this kind of place.His expression was not a little nervous, and he was even calm: "I slipped out of the theater anyway, don't you think it's too late to say such things now?"

"Although it is true that you slipped out of the theater..." the man replied, "but taking you to the street to buy ice cream and taking you to the bar street are two different things."

The young man looked up at the man: "Hey, it's okay, bring me to find someone, are you going to go back on your word now?"

"It's not that I regret it." The man bent down and straightened the collar of the boy, "Look at you, can you get in?"

"If this was the main reason, you wouldn't have taken me out before." The boy narrowed his eyes, "Honestly speaking, was it because of jealousy?"

"...Well, there's nothing to hide." The man chuckled twice, "You said that Clement and Fodsi were raised according to this Zhang Zhen, which means that he has already become an adult in your heart. Benchmark, shouldn't I be vigilant?"

He didn't finish his sentence.The young man never forgets "Zhang Zhen" in another world, which shows that this person holds a pivotal position in his heart.And Clement and Furdhi were trained with reference to "Zhang Zhen". Looking at how close the two black swans were to the young man, you will know how close Zhang Zhen was to the young man. and!

What's more, both Clermont and Furdhi were once attracted to teenagers, so how can people feel at ease about their "benchmark" Zhang Zhen? !

Men know how helpless teenagers used to be, almost fighting alone. "Zhang Zhen" was the closest and most reliable support to him at that time, and the man had to guard against it.

The boy seemed to understand the man's unfinished words immediately, he squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Are you actually worried about this problem now? Compared with whether he will take a fancy to me, shouldn't you be worried that others think you are a pedophile?" ?”

The man pinched the boy's chin with his fingers and pressed it lightly: "Say, you belong to me."

"..." The young man froze for a moment, then looked at him calmly, "I belong to you."

The young man put his arms around the bowed man's neck, and asked softly in his ear: "Then do you belong to me, my dear Highness?"

"I belong to you, and I only belong to you." The man hugged the young man back, easily pulling him into his arms, "Now, you are my 'His Royal Highness'."

It was his turn to overcome obstacles for the person in his arms.

"Then, go and get that heart back for me." The young man loosened the man's tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt with his own hands, "Wait until you come back victorious."

The last time Li Chen made friends with Zhang Zhen was after he was framed and fell into despair.

After Zhang Zhen had almost nothing, it was basically no profit to make friends with him, and Li Chen just happened to appear by such a coincidence.Although Li Chen at that time was quite a bit like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, he still secretly helped Zhang Zhen.For Zhang Zhen, the little effort in the past is like sending charcoal in the snow-especially after he fell so badly, Li Chen's affirmation of him is so rare to the point of absurdity.

In fact, Li Chen didn't expect anything from Zhang Zhen at the beginning, after all, he and he were brothers in trouble, how could he still have the energy to help others when he was in danger?He also knew that his attitude was quite pale. Zhang Zhen had seen many storms and waves, and it was difficult to see a brat who couldn't take care of himself.

Li Chen thought at the time: That's it.

But by coincidence, Zhang Zhen gradually regained some vitality, and Li Chen gradually found some effective means.They got in touch again and hit it off.

The road to "tame" Zhang Zhen is not easy, but Li Chen's harvest is not only Zhang Zhen.Later, the "domestication" ability of Lichen in watching dishes and chopsticks was mostly the experience and inspiration he had since then, and he and Zhang Zhen had a lifelong friendship, not just the relationship between the speaker and the person doing things up.

But what about their "previous history" is already a passing cloud.

Now, Li Chen is going to get in touch with this man who is born with a fierce look again.

Not long ago, Li Chen had just passed his 12th birthday (presumably), but he had not yet been asked to watch Su Can's behavior 24 hours a day.It should be that this guy Saenz reached some kind of agreement with Hinrique, so that he not only does not have to be forced to practice imitation, but also can be taken out by Saenz for a stroll outside from time to time.

Li Chen didn't know the details, but coming and going was just so possible.Saenz will definitely not be a "teacher of etiquette" peacefully. Whether he joins Hinrik's forces, or starts from the stove and then cooperates with Hinrik, it will not be difficult.And Li Chen's imitation of Su Can... To put it bluntly, Su Can is not much more advanced than a pet in Xinri Ke's heart. If Saenz brought him more benefits, he would not mind imitating this matter at all. less rigorous.

This is Xinrik, sitting on a huge dark empire, proud and conceited, defiant.

Li Chen was never worried that Saenz would suffer from him.Saenz's all-round skill points are higher than Li Chen's. If he can't do anything to Xinrik, Li Chen basically doesn't need to talk about revenge.Moreover, Xinrik is such a conceited person, Li Chen is looking forward to seeing his expression at the moment when he realizes that Saenz is actually an enemy.

Well, let’s talk about it, let’s talk about Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen had actually been secretly betrayed by someone at this time, but nothing had been revealed yet, so he was still that high-spirited man.

It is true that after Zhang Zhen fell down, it would be easier for him to appreciate those who helped him, and he would be more likely to be hooked, but Li Chen felt that it was boring to do so.He knew that Zhang Zhen was going to be miserable, and he watched the person fall down, and then pulled him up pretendingly—it was actually quite disgusting.

Li Chen doesn't think he is an aboveboard person, but he hasn't fallen to the time to use such dirty tricks.What's more, Zhang Zhen helped him a lot before, but he was drawn to his side by default, he didn't want to engage in such disgusting calculations.

Of course, if Zhang Zhen's choice is different from the last time, Li Chen will not be relentless.

There is another reason why Li Chen wants to find Zhang Zhen at this time.He has a few brothers by his side, Li Chen has heard that they are very useful, so it is not a bad idea to help Zhang Zhen survive.

However, these are just Li Chen's plans, and the real implementation... depends on his "manner of etiquette".

Zhang Zhen felt that his new friend was really a magical figure.

It's not about his mask, or his skills, or even his comfortable attitude and unique way of thinking... It's that he brought a child with him when he came out to play!

This is a brat who has no blood relationship at all!

Although everyone just came out for a meal, what happened to this Saenz with a tail?He would pick up vegetables for the cub, order different non-alcoholic drinks for the cub, and even help him roll up his sleeves!The elders at the table can't say how much they respect the old and love the young, but they are not thick-skinned who can casually talk dirty in front of a little bastard.

Some people couldn't hold it anymore, they used excuses to go to the toilet, and some excused to go out to smoke...God knows when they have the hypocritical habit of not smoking at the dinner table!

Zhang Zhen watched the brothers go out, turned his body to Saenz and said in a low voice: "Restrain yourself, he has hands and feet, why don't you hold him like a protective eyeball? I will do it for you." He thinks you are annoying!"

Zhang Zhen actually wanted to remind Saenz not to bring an oil bottle to such occasions in the future, but he gave Saenz face in front of everyone, so the point was a bit off.

But Saenz glanced at him meaningfully, then scanned around the table for those who were still sitting, turned around and asked Li Chen, "He seems to have gone out, now?"

"Speak, it's just a matter of a few words anyway." Li Chen still held the tableware in his hand, but turned his head to Zhang Zhen, "Mr. What about money and goods. It’s only the middle of the year, and by the time you check the accounts tomorrow and find something strange, he will have already left.”

"..."

Zhang Zhen really didn't know where to start complaining.How dare this bastard who is a few pounds and a few taels say that his brother has something wrong?Don't say whether this kid is qualified enough, even this big one, how long have you just known each other?

Everyone in the room had this idea, and the more violent ones even wanted to stand up and teach Saenz and Lichen a lesson, but Zhang Zhen waved his hand and ordered them to stop.

"Saenz." Zhang Zhen looked at the masked man, with a sullen expression on his face, "What do you mean? Can you explain to me?"

"He doesn't need to explain, I'll come." Li Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin, "The one who just went out to smoke, is he the sworn brother surnamed Xu? If he knows what I said today, he will immediately call and inform the surnamed Xu. Do you believe it or not?"

"You son of a bitch." Zhang Zhen stared at him, not even giving face to his new friend, "You weigh yourself before you talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense, Mr. Zhang will know when he goes back and check it?" Li Chen smiled lightly, leaned back in his chair, showing a strange and unnatural depth, "If I expected Yes, recently he has been telling you that he is exhausted and wants to rest for a while, isn't he? Don't care if you grant him a few days off, he will go abroad in a flash and you can't touch him, do you believe it? "

"It's pretty good at guessing." Zhang Zhen was almost amused by this brat's eloquence, "You dare to arrange my brother like this, have you considered the consequences?"

"I only told you after considering the consequences." Li Chen replied calmly, "Your opponent Chen Laoliu is on the same side as my enemy, so I will remind you, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. This is all I can say, they are coming back, Mr. Zhang makes his own decision."

Zhang Zhen finally felt that something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "Who is your enemy?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you." Li Chen picked up his tableware again and picked up a piece of deliciously boiled potato, "You may have heard of his name... it's Xinlik."
