Don't know why.
Obviously he knew nothing about this person, but when he heard his name, Xu subconsciously felt that there was a strange reaction in his heart.
"Luo Yu...that is the pride of our Yinsong Island!"
Seeing that he seemed interested, Pan Cheng introduced him enthusiastically.
"That was an orphan on our island. We found a basket on the beach more than ten years ago. We didn't know who his parents were... Later, we discussed it and adopted him together."
When the topic about Luo Yu came up, the unhappiness on Pan Cheng's face was instantly wiped away, "This guy is also very impressive, with a quick mind and good physical strength. Everyone likes him very much."
"A few years later, he awakened and became the "Chosen One", and said he wanted to go out and make a living. When he came back, he was already a Silver Knight of the Imperial Bishop's Court! Hey, I really make everyone proud..."
He talked a lot and didn't notice the subtle changes on Xu Shi's face at all.
Xu Shi was not in a hurry, and after listening to him tell Luo Yu's life story in detail, he felt a little more approving.
"He is only eighteen this year? He is really young and promising."
He echoed the compliment, "I wonder if I would have the honor to meet him?"
She's even younger than Gu Yi, really...
By the way, what were you doing when you were eighteen?
Oh, you learned how to drive Impart? That's okay.
"That's what I'm saying. Brother Xu, if you want to see me, can I still deny it to you?"
Pan Cheng agreed immediately, "This guy said he would come back a few days ago. If you stay a few more days, you will definitely see him!"
"By the way, Brother Xu, you are also young and promising. You are of the same age, so you will definitely have something to talk about..."
"Forget about people of the same age. I'm almost ten years older than him, so I'm no longer young."
Xu Shi smiled pretending to be humble. In the blink of an eye, he was almost twenty-six... "But I am indeed looking forward to it. Brother Pan, please take care of yourself."
How could you not look forward to it?
After chatting for a while, seeing Jiang Chengcheng and Xia Wuyou still chatting freely with the people on Yinsong Island, Xu Shi made an excuse and left with Xia Keyan first.
"I feel like my bad father has no good intentions towards others."
The old aunt's eyes were also quite vicious, and she pointed out Xu Shi's thoughts straightforwardly.
"You can't say that."
Xu Shi knocked on her forehead, "But Luo Yu is probably the 'protagonist' of the Hualan Empire. Is it okay if I don't get some snacks?"
Anyway, this is how he feels. Both his parents are dead, and he is young and promising. It seems that he has some special abilities... Although Pan Cheng didn't make it clear what his abilities are, it already fits the so-called protagonist's framework. .
And the strange movement in his heart... maybe this is the legendary villain Radar?
Xu Shi actually knew this already. According to the information given by He Yuxia, no matter whether it is the City of Night Sin or the Hualan Empire, there will be no shortage of a "protagonist" or an appointed "savior" in any experimental field.
This was originally what he planned to do after he found the New World, but he didn't expect that all this would already be revealed before he arrived.
"So, good intentions will be rewarded, right?"
"Is this word too inappropriate for you?"
The white-haired loli teased.
"Why are you talking to daddy? Your butt is itchy again?"
"...I won't talk to you anymore."
Xia Keyan curled his lips, "So, what are your plans?"
Do we still want to treat Shen He like he did? To be honest, the old aunt couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of that person's experience.
"My plan is to find a way to have a good talk with him first?"
Xu Shi thought for a while and said, "After all, the 'protagonist' is also the most promising person in the experimental field. If we can join forces with him, it will be of great help to us."
"Even if he isn't, I heard Pan Cheng say that his so-called 'Silver Knight' status is quite impressive. There are only twelve people in the entire empire... It's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with such a person, right? "
Of course he knows what Xia Keyan is thinking, but this is completely redundant. Now his main purpose is to overthrow the "natural law". As long as this premise can be maintained, let alone people, a dog can also be an ally.
Not to mention that we don’t have irreconcilable conflicts like myself and Shen He. We don’t even know each other yet. Why would we harm others when we are full?
"Of course, there must be necessary inspections. If the other party has any bad intentions towards me, then I can't stay."
Xu Shi added that this is another very important premise.
The old aunt was noncommittal, and the truth was indeed this.
But when she thought of her bad father who always thought of himself as a bad guy, the white-haired loli suddenly felt that her worries were definitely not unnecessary...
…
Silver Pine Island was not too far away from where they were. Xu Shi and his party arrived here in a day and a half.
"Your ship is so fast. It took us more than five days to get here..."
Pan Cheng was filled with emotion about this, "Brother Xu, please wait for me a moment. I'll go talk to them about the situation first."
As the owner of the island, he was very thoughtful and took his people down in a small boat first to prevent everyone from being frightened by the two giant ships.
Xu Shi was not in a hurry, and first commanded the ship to dock smoothly in an orderly manner. After seeing Pan Cheng come back and bring a bunch of people back, he took everyone off the ship.
After everyone had been at sea for a month, it felt like a long absence to set foot on land again.
Unfortunately, before they had time to enjoy themselves, the oncoming islanders surrounded them.
"Is this the person who saved the island owner and the others? He looks almost like us!"
"What do you mean they're almost the same? They're obviously the same, but they don't have more noses or fewer eyes than us!"
"But the clothes they wear are so strange, but they look pretty..."
"That little girl is so cute!"
"Those girls are so beautiful...I have never seen such a beautiful woman..."
"What are you talking about? I don't look good?! Don't you want to live with it?!"
"That man wears glasses. I've only seen people wearing them in the main city of the empire, but they were all old men, not as handsome as him..."
The buzzing comments made everyone a little confused. Is this good guy being watched like a monkey? Although most of them are words of praise, your words and my words are so confusing...
"Okay, okay, what are you doing?!"
In the end, Pan Cheng stopped them, "This is our great benefactor of Yinsong Island! If you scare people again... hurry up and prepare for the banquet! Treat them well!"
"good!!"
After all, he was the owner of the island, and his words were very important. After hearing the words, he quickly dispersed to work, and at most he looked back reluctantly.
I felt like laughing for a while, feeling that it was completely different from the situation when they boarded the ship... This moment was just like that moment, so happy.
But this was just a harmless incident, and no one would feel bad about it.
"Come on, brother Xu, let me introduce you!"
Pan Cheng brought his family and greeted him warmly, "These are my two wives, Cuifen and Yurong, and these are my eldest daughter Pan Feng, and my youngest daughter Pan Ling."
The two ladies are both beautiful and beautiful, with wheat-colored skin unique to the people of Yinsong Island. The two children look like they have just grown up. Sure enough, they are not yet out of the age group where half-grown children would eat me to death.
"Brother Pan is also a blessed person, and the children are also very cute."
Xu Shi smiled and greeted them one by one, and finally understood where the other party's previous tense attitude came from.
It turns out that you also... So, of course he wouldn't be surprised to see Xu Shi bringing two "wives". After all, he is the same... But in addition to being a fiancée and a female guard, this is He couldn't enjoy the treatment. Even though he was an island owner, Yinsong Island itself was not that big, and he was not at the level of a local emperor.
"I can't compare to you, Brother Xu."
Pan Cheng smiled heartily, "Hey, what are you talking about? I'll entertain you later! Can we have a drink? I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight!"
"OK."
Xu Shi didn’t refuse, it would be nice to relax a bit.
"Then it's settled!"
Pan Cheng clapped his hands and said, "I'm going to visit the families of the casualties first. I'll see you later. If you don't mind, would you like to take a walk around the island first? Do you want me to let my wife accompany you and be your guide?"
"That's not necessary. I can just walk around."
Xu Shi waved his hand and thought to himself, brother, you can really say such things without any burden...
However, this can also reflect the sincerity of the other party. If the person is really unguarded against you, then he should not misinterpret others here.
For him who is used to the Night Sin City, this Silver Pine Island is really a very good place.
The main reason is that the atmosphere here is very good. After walking around, he found that this place is still basically in a traditional farming civilization. Most people make a living by farming and animal husbandry, and the overall pace of life is slow.
Of course, no one does fishing. As far as the current ocean conditions are concerned, no fool would do such a thing anywhere. Yinsong Island's shipbuilding is mainly for communication with the Hualan Empire. Going to sea is actually A few behaviors.
Moreover, the relationship between the people on the island is very harmonious, and they are very happy to get along with each other. Not to say there is no barrier, at least they can be regarded as happy.
This is really very different from the Night Sin City, where everyone is busy and people are indifferent. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise...
At least he was not the only one who had this idea, and the girls were the same - Jiang Chengcheng continued to exchange academic issues with the girl Xiaomei, while Xia Wuyou was entangled in the place by Pan Cheng's two daughters, maybe Are you interested in the alloy sword she wears? That sister Pan Feng seems to be wearing a sword too...
Yu Xingchuan took Shen Qin back to the ship to work on supplies. As for Xia Ke'an, he really found a group of children to play wildly, and he seemed to be the king of children when he first arrived.
Old aunt, you are so good, you have filled the role perfectly, right... But this also reflects that everyone's mentality is similar to his, and they all like this kind of style that they have never experienced before.
Of course, more importantly.
To sum up, no one wants him.
Although it is only temporary, Xiao Xu is still very sad. This is not a kind of abandonment. How much psychological harm it will cause to the innocent, simple and kind me... Wuwuwu.
...Hee hee, just pretending.
"Are you thinking about me?"
He reached over to Xie Qingyan with a backhand, "Let's go for a walk together, my good fiancée?"
"What? You think of me when I'm not with you?"
Looking at his stretched out hand, the dog woman snorted and said in a strange tone, "That's right. You have a wife. I'm just a fiancée."
But even so, she still put her hand on her honestly.
"This is a huge injustice."
Xu Shi will never admit it. I quarreled with you a lot on the ship. It's just that after Pan Cheng arrived, everyone's attention shifted to Yinsong Island, but it only lasted for two or three days. To say it was neglected is too much. On the line.
But one thing she said is true, "You are not my fiancée, what are you?"
"I am...I am your fiancée."
Xie Qingyan wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that this was really okay, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Isn't that okay?"
Xu Shi laughed, took her hand and started walking aimlessly.
"Xu Shi, you said..."
Just looking at the scenery was certainly not enough for them. After a while, Xie Qingyan took the initiative to start talking.
But when she noticed that Ye Shanshan was following behind her, she stopped talking and looked back at her, "Why are you following us? Don't you have anything of your own to do?"
"I……?"
Curly Curly was speechless for a moment. Isn't it an established habit for me to follow you? Besides, "I don't have anything to do..."
"If there's nothing to do, do you see that tree?"
Xu Shi pointed towards the distance with a half-smile.
"Well, what?"
"That's where the wind blows. It's cool at first glance. Go there and stay."
"……oh."
After understanding the other party's subtext, Ye Shanshan reluctantly agreed. This is really a cool place to stay. Why don't you just drive me away... I don't just follow Dong Xie, I also want to Following you.
But she was still very obedient and gave up her personal space to the two elders.
If it were in the past, she would definitely think this was a danger signal. If Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan got close, the people who were not equal and bullied her would become double.
But it's okay now, there's nothing we can do about it. If Director Xie can't win Xu Shi, then she will never be justified... Although this model seems really humble, who put us in such a difficult situation? I can't get to the position anymore. It's great to be like this.
Thinking about it this way, she was quite envious of Yu Xingchuan. No matter what her starting point was, she was free in this regard. Even if she had one on her head, it was obvious that Tang Shuang did not have that much restraint on her. She I don't care either.
well……
"Okay, now that she's been taken away, what do you want to say?"
Xu Cai didn't care about Little Curly's mental activities, he just thought it was funny how she walked away dejectedly, "Mysterious, what secrets do you want to report?"
"speak nicely."
Xie Qingyan was speechless by his rudeness, "How can there be any secret... I just want to ask, do you feel that the relationship between us is much better than before?"
"When you asked this question, you already knew the answer, right?"
Xu Shi smiled slightly and acted as the Riddler.
The Riddler gets out of the City of Night Sin... Oh, he's already gone, that's okay.
"It seems so?"
Xie Qingyan was relieved after hearing this. As one of the parties involved, she naturally felt it.
"But if you ask me, I always feel that there is not enough."
"What's not enough?"
"This is what I want to ask you."
The dog woman sighed, "What do you think is enough? Is it enough to roll into the same bed with you?"
"I don't think it counts."
Xu Shi shook his head, "I don't think you think so...but how do you think it's enough? Sorry, I don't know."
This is a tacit understanding between the two of them. The relationship between them is already very awkward. It is not as simple as just one shot to erase the grudges. That may bring about a night of happiness, but it will not help enhance the relationship.
Xie Qingyan also knew this very well. The dog man was indeed lustful, but he was by no means the type that would make him stupid. Just getting his body was useless, and it was not a problem between them at all.
This is just like hammering a nail. You have done something sorry for him before, so even if you have no intention of harming him now, at best you can only pull out the nail, and the scars will still be there.
If anything, it would be the unprovoked little fights like before, pinching one's face, arguing, etc., which are more like a signal to repair the relationship.
But I don’t know how inefficient that is. You can’t just play this kind of game with him every day without doing anything, right?
Xie Qingyan was actually confused about relationships, so he took the initiative to ask such a question.
Xu Shi did not give a clear answer because there was no clear answer to this question. She could just draw a range and do it? It's not that easy.
To use a very cliche line, the answer lies in the dog woman's heart, and she needs to find it herself.
But then again, it's unexpected that she would take the initiative to talk to him about this. It always feels like she seems more human?
That's true. In the past, he always felt that there was something strange about his fiancée. It was because she was too rational most of the time, which resulted in her lacking a lot of fireworks. Strong women were often equated with robots. .
So he was actually quite surprised. Should he say that the heart-to-heart talk in the office that day really had an effect? Or is she also infected by the atmosphere here?
In essence, she is still willing to make some changes in this aspect, otherwise no matter how much external forces influence her, it will be useless.
It is also in line with my expectation that her rose will "pluck out the thorns by itself", which is great.
"...It's a coincidence, I didn't know either."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Xie Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled mockingly, "Since we don't know, let's not talk about this for now and talk about serious things."
"for example?"
"For example, about the "Poseidon" thing. "
The dog woman put away her little woman's tenderness, breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "I've heard a lot from them in the past few days, but it gave me some clues."
"What eyebrows?"
"About your power implantation."
