20demayo Chapter 285
Chapter 285
Xu Jinbai is very afraid of death.
But it is not his fault.
Who can bear to let his life hang on someone else?
No matter how hard he tries or how powerful he is, as long as he has the Holy Scripture, everything will go to waste. From then on, his fate will be out of his control, and he cannot even guarantee that the Holy Scripture loves him as well.
So, it is no wonder that the ancestor of the Xu family could not activate the Holy Scripture. Because the tragedy of the nine-tailed fox scared him.
This is normal, and anyone would be afraid.
But Xu Jinbai is different from his ancestor. Xu Jinbai also shoulders the experimental task. All the resources he got from the Xu family were exchanged for his life. The better he is and the more he expresses himself, the easier it is for him to die.
Of course, these are just guesses.
Fox Seven looked away and laughed at himself in a joking tone:
"When I was a child, my elders often scared me, saying that if I stepped on the manhole cover, I would be in trouble. It's ridiculous, but I still walk around the manhole cover."
"...Really? I don't think it's ridiculous."
Xu Jinbai only lost his composure for a moment.
He felt that he was seen through, as if he was standing in the sun, and all his secrets were exposed.
"Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?"
Xu Jinbai asked with a smile. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was indeed angry in his heart, and it was inevitable that he had some emotions.
All along, the image he created for the outside world was strong and reliable. Even among his friends, he was a well-deserved leader. As a result, he had just chosen the experimental subject, and he was labeled as "afraid of death" by the other party.
"Yes, the world is so big that there are all kinds of things. People who have nothing are not afraid of death, and people with faith are not afraid of death."
Fox Seven answered casually and looked at Xu Jinbai again.
"Do you have any emotion manipulation skills?"
"..."
At that moment, Xu Jinbai felt a chill on his back, and even had the idea of changing people quickly. Fortunately, this idea was forcibly suppressed by his skills.
Once he removed the emotion, Xu Jinbai changed his mind again.
Fox Seven, smart and strong, with eight stars to protect her, and good character, there is no better choice than her among his peers.
Xu Jinbai strategically picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and pondered for a few seconds.
"Yes."
Xu Jinbai answered the truth.
"Do you want to make yourself like me?"
Fox Seven asked again.
After controlling the rhythm of the conversation, she was not embarrassed at all, but was just on guard against the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Danye.
But then again, Xu Jinbai's activation of the Holy Scripture will only benefit Xu Danye, so this old fox will definitely not hinder them, and may even provide help...
"Yes."
Xu Jinbai nodded, frowned unconsciously, and smiled helplessly.
"But if we make it so clear, how can we unfold it later? I don't have that feeling anymore..."
"Even if you don't make it clear, you pretend to be passionate in love in the last second, and then clear it with one click in the next second. This feeling is useless, right?"
Hu Shiqi was speechless. This was purely perfunctory in order to live a little longer. No one knew whether he was deceiving himself or his ancestors.
"..."
Xu Jinbai pressed his temple.
Headache, what to do, he really had a headache.
"Don't worry, I can help you."
Hu Shiqi smiled and waved his hand to attract Xu Jinbai's attention:
"I don't like to die. I don't go to dangerous places or provoke strong enemies. I don't have the hobby of robbing things that don't belong to me. The upgrade speed is relatively fast, and theoretically I can smoothly pass the development period."
Don't mention the Qingxi Secret Realm at this time. At that time, she was ignorant and thought it was a world of law.
"Yes, I know." Xu Jinbai felt powerless, "You won't die easily. I understand what you mean."
But...
Does she have to be so honest?
"That's good, I understand what you mean."
Hu Shiqi smiled even more.
She found out that Xu Jinbai's request was not to activate the holy book at all. He just wanted to live and wished he could be a widower for life. So what he needed was for her to cooperate with the performance and prove to the ancestors: I really tried hard!
After thinking about these clearly, the rest is a matter of course... They have a complete basis for cooperation.
Hu Shiqi looked at Xu Jinbai.
That's right, he definitely had hatred for the Xu family and Xu Danye - how could he not hate them when he was forced to a dead end since he was a child?
"I can cooperate with you."
Hu Shiqi smiled, this was clear enough.
"Thank you very much."
Xu Jinbai also smiled, as if he could not see the pit ahead.
Although the meal was tasteless and the progress was different from what he imagined, but, Hu ShiqiShi Qi will not stand on the same line with Xu Danye. As for Alice, she has too close interests with the Xu family, and accidents are more likely to happen.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinbai leaned back, crossed his hands on his knees, and relaxed his shoulders a little.
Yes, he and Alice were childhood sweethearts. With the support of the elders of both sides, they met twice a month on average, but Alice became more and more annoyed with him and wanted to beat him up every time they met.
If it were Fox Shi Qi, it would probably be the same.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Xu Jinbai asked again, feeling a little relieved.
However, he soon found that he was too relaxed.
"Yes. I need you to suspend your plan to pursue me, and let me pursue you instead."
Fox Shi Qi answered, completely ignoring Xu Jinbai's astonishment, and then said-
"But my pursuit of you is not as simple as making a phone call. We need to get along more. After the game, you will accompany me to shoot a movie. There will not only be emotional scenes, but also some physical contact. This is enough for us to pull for a while."
Xu Jinbai:? ? ?
"You want to...act with me?"
At this moment, Xu Jinbai was quite confused, his brain seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't sort out the logical relationship for a while.
Fox Seven said that she wanted to pursue him, but the way of pursuing her that she researched... was to drag him to act?
Chasing him in the play? Acting for others to see?
Isn't this really a mockery of him?
Is she going to treat him in his own way?
"Yes," Fox Seven nodded, "It won't take long, but it will be enough for us to get to know each other. Whether it succeeds or not, just treat it as making friends."
"... No problem."
Xu Jinbai thought about it and agreed.
This lunch today really used up all his speechless life.
And he felt a little empathy, and suddenly found that some of his behaviors were indeed very inhumane, no wonder Alice wanted to beat him out.
"Then it's settled. You pay for this meal. Bye. See you during the winter break."
Hou Yaqi drank the water in the cup, stood up, waved his hand, and ran away without any regrets.
——It was getting late. She still had to buy clothes for Xieyang. She couldn't go on stage naked in the afternoon.
Xu Jinbai, who was left behind, stared at the empty seat opposite him and blinked in disbelief.
...See you during the winter break...?
Did this person forget that he would also make it to the finals?
