In front of you is a simple, heavy, but shabby door. Wooden boards are nailed all over the door. It seems that it is often damaged and repaired repeatedly.
Chen Xing stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, pressed the door panel with both hands, and slowly pushed it open.
"Crunch..."
The heavy door hinges made a sharp friction sound, and the door opened to both sides.
Thousands of candlelights came into my eyes, and as the airflow of opening the door shook violently, for a while, the double images overlapped, and the light was blurred.
On the high platform, the throne stands. The lazy figure leaned on the back of the slender chair, leaning on the armrests casually. The ambiguous posture highlights the voluptuous curves, and the whole body exudes a psychedelic aura like a poppy. Combined with the flickering candlelight, it makes people feel a little drowsy.
A section of the snow-white calf was exposed to the air, half-cocked, the feet were dangling, and the red toenails were crystal clear, reflecting an alluring luster.
Standing next to the throne is a tall figure with a graceful figure and proud curves. Coupled with a face that confuses all living things, but is extremely cold, it looks strong and noble, like an ice rose with thorns, beautiful and frosty. Cold to the bone.
The moment their eyes met, Chen Xing knew that this woman would no longer be controlled by him. She was like a poisonous snake that had escaped from trouble, spitting messages at its former owner, baring its fangs, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
However, he only glanced at the other party lightly, and his attention quickly returned to the throne. That's not his purpose today. After solving the big problems, the small problems will naturally resolve themselves.
"Huh?"
"Why are you back?"
The girl on the throne was slightly surprised, like a bored child suddenly encountering a familiar guest.
"I have met His Highness."
Chen Xing knelt down on one knee, his posture was solemn and pious.
"Didn't you go to suppress the bandits? Why did you come back?"
Aaliyah's voice was filled with joy. You know, ten minutes ago she was yawning and complaining to Lacey about being bored, but in the blink of an eye, fun came to her door.
Every time she saw Chen Xing, she would feel happy, but why she was happy was something she couldn't even figure out.
When they first met in Orchid Town, the little courier who was fascinated by her at first sight did not leave much of an impression on her, just like countless others who could be deceived by her just a few words and a wink. Like a fat sheep, it is forgotten as soon as it passes.
But since the other party came back alive from the wilderness wearing a fake suit, his whole person seemed to have changed, and he dared to threaten her.
And she used the meanest and most shameless method, but she had to admit that it was the most effective method - shouting in the street.
This was the first time in her career as a weapon shop that she had suffered a loss. Although the loss was only an old gun, it was enough to make her hold a grudge for the rest of her life.
So, this man came into her sight.
After getting along for a while, she felt that this man was very interesting.
That's right, in the eyes of the female devil, it's just fun.
The other person was like a little ant on the table, crawling around under her nose. As long as she stretched out a finger and pressed lightly, she could crush the other person.
But such a weak ant always brings surprises to her, solves problems in a way beyond her imagination, and strives to survive.
Not only that, this ant is extremely ambitious and wants to ride a dragon.
In the end, he even saved her life.
For her, this is the biggest shame in her life. It has never happened before, does not happen now, and will never happen in the future.
But it just happened that such a little ant did it!
She once swore that when they meet again, she will wash away the shame of that day with blood.
She even thought of a hundred ways to kill him, but when they met, she only remembered playing around.
In fact, she had thought more than once that she could just keep the other person alive and make her happy every day.
Since they separated from each other, she has never met someone who can make her smile as happily as she did in Orchid Town.
Whenever she thinks about the past, she laughs from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't understand why she was so happy when she was with him.
But this is not surprising. The chemical reaction between men and women is the most difficult subject in human history.
This is the ultimate mystery that countless poets, scholars, and masters have been unable to understand for thousands of years. Even the great sage Luo Ning said that the mystery of the void is just a child learning to talk in front of love.
But then again, although there is no final answer, there are still some clues to follow.
Chen Xing and Aaliyah, in a sense, can be said to be "matched".
The relationship between men and women is sometimes like playing table tennis. You come and go, and you are happy when you play.
If one side has a technical advantage and smashes the ball at every turn, or the other side cannot even catch the most basic ball, the two sides will only become more and more boring and eventually break up.
In just a few months of getting along in Orchid Town, the two set up and dismantled each other's traps. They both knew how to advance and retreat, and they both knew how to save face for each other. After this back and forth, feelings slowly emerged.
As the saying goes, flirting with girls, the key point is "flirting"
Character.
Flirting is when feathers gently brush against the skin.
Because the itching was so uncomfortable, I finally had the comfort of relieving the itching.
If it's not painful or itchy, how can it be comfortable?
So I'll tease it first, wait until the itch subsides, and then relieve the itch, and I'll be happy.
At this point, whether Chen Xing did it intentionally or not, Aaliyah did feel itchy and comfortable when she was in Orchid Town.
"Hehe, did you miss me?"
Aaliyah stood up happily and wanted to go down to find Chen Xing, but as soon as she left the throne, she saw Lacey beside her with a solemn expression and a serious look on her face. Probably out of consideration for the image of the king, she sat back, suppressed her smile, leaned back on the chair, and waved her hand lazily, "My dear, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"How's things going at the mink border?"
"Everything goes well. We have arranged for people to disguise themselves as villagers and wait for the gangsters to surrender."
"Um."
"I discovered a kind of tea during field investigation near the mountains..." Chen Xing picked up the bag and introduced, "This kind of tea is called Bamboo Leaf Fragrant Tea. It is grown with mountain spring water and baked with bamboo charcoal..."
"This kind of tea is mixed with the charcoal flavor of coffee and the fragrance of bamboo leaves. It tastes very good. After I drank it, I felt that His Highness would like it, so I wanted to let His Highness try it quickly, so I ran back."
Lacey looked at Chen Xing with disdain, like looking at a reptile. But Aaliyah's eyes were shining, staring at the bag in his hand, seeming to be very interested in the bamboo leaf tea.
Chen Xing guessed correctly.
When she was in Orchid Town, Aaliya liked to drink coffee. She would make a cup whenever she had nothing to do, and she even invited him to drink it several times.
This bamboo-leaf fragrant tea has the taste of coffee, so Aaliyah will be interested.
Although Dashanling is the territory of the Red Dragon Principality, the bamboo leaf fragrant tea has a strong charcoal smell and is mainly consumed by villagers. It is a cheap tea, so there is a high probability that it is not available in the Red Castle.
The higher the quality, the more pure the taste. Tea is tea and coffee is coffee. Mixed flavors like this are generally not liked by the upper class.
But Aaliyah was a special case. She fled with her maid and adoptive mother when she was young, and her life was definitely not a wealthy one. Cheaper things can actually bring her back to her childhood.
That's the benefit of knowing a woman's past.
Lacey probably doesn't know these things. Because Aaliyah is now the supreme power. Since ancient times, heroes have no regard for their origins. She will definitely not publicize her past downfall and grievances everywhere.
So this became one of Chen Xing's biggest advantages.
