Ji Ling held his breath and hid behind a large tree. Not long after, he saw Ning Yu come over.
After a few days of not seeing him, Ning Yu seemed like he hadn’t been affected by the kidnapping at all. He still looked heroic and handsome, with gentle and cool green eyes. He was obviously familiar with Jing Sui and walked over with a smile, saying: "Your Majesty."
Jing Sui turned his head to look at him and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he said: "It's you."
Ji Ling quietly watched the two people talk, with a heart full of excitement!
The plot was finally going right!
This was the right way!
Their meeting, their conversation, their demeanor and behavior...were all exactly the same as last life! Ji Ling was moved and almost wept tears of joy. After facing so many crazy villains who abused their power, he finally found people who were willing to follow the plot. That’s the main couple for you!
You are my hope of going home! You guys are my best friends in this foreign land!
Over there, Jing Sui and Ning Yu exchanged a few lines cordially, and then Jing Sui left temporarily because he had something to attend to. No matter. Ji Ling knew that Jing Sui would come back soon. This time in-between set the stage for him to kick up a fuss. Just perfect!
In fact, this conversation between Jing Sui and Ning Yu wasn’t ambiguous, and didn’t carry any ulterior affections. In terms of love, the seed could be considered to have sprouted a bit now. It was still mostly appreciation and praise.
In the eyes of others, this scene would look completely normal. They’d only think Jing Sui was trying to win him over.
However, as a vicious cannon fodder character, Ji Ling didn’t use logic when he was courting death! As long as he forced his IQ to go offline, he could make trouble for anyone Jing Sui spoke pleasantly with!
But wouldn’t his behavior make Jing Sui dislike him?
Sorry, but that didn’t matter.
Ji Ling waited quietly for Jing Sui to leave, then fixed his expression, and walked valiantly towards Ning Yu who was under the tree. At the same time, he said in an angry tone: "It's you again!"
Ning Yu raised his head, and after seeing that it was Ji Ling, furrowed his eyebrows together unnoticeably.
Ji Ling stared at him fiercely, and said aggressively: “You’re just a lower being. Who let you come in here? You’re probably hoping to seduce His Majesty, but he won’t see someone like you!"
Ning Yu looked at Ji Ling like he was beyond reason, and his thin lips pursed slightly. He didn’t want to get mixed up with Ji Ling, so he turned around to leave.
It wasn’t easy for Ji Ling to catch this opportunity, so how could he let him just leave? He reached out his hand to grab Ning Yu and shouted: "Where do you think you’re going? You stop right there! "
Ning Yu's sleeve was held by Ji Ling in a death grip. He could only stop, and turn to look at the young man who was baring his teeth. Ji Ling almost looked like a little beast snarling at him, stupid and fearless. Ning Yu laughed out annoyed: “Let go."
Ji Ling stared fixedly and replied: “Not letting go!”
Ning Yu looked at him with a cold expression.
Ji Ling couldn’t be scared off, and Ning Yu couldn’t do anything to him. Ji Ling gave it his all, and revealed a standard vicious cannon fodder look of envy, saying loudly: "If you dare approach His Majesty again, I definitely won’t let you off! You won’t be so lucky as to have someone come to your rescue next time! "
Ning Yu lowered his eyes and looked at him. His lips turned upwards and he said meaningfully: “Is that so?”
His voice was smooth and gentle, but it was mixed with a subtle chill; It was like a cold current from a bottomless abyss hiding under the warmth of the shining sun... Ji Ling couldn't help but shudder. His whole body was overcome with fear.
H-He must’ve been hearing things. Ning Yu was a cute, amiable and upright protagonist shou. How could he possibly sound scary?!
Ji Ling lost himself for a moment, and almost forgot to continue with his lines.
Fortunately, Jing Sui reappeared at this time!
Ji Ling saw Jing Sui coming over out of the corner of his eye. After he fixed his expression, he got straight to the point and stopped talking. Forcing himself to press on, he raised his palm to hit Ning Yu. At the same time, he shouted: “Know your place and stay away from His Majesty!"
Not surprisingly, the slap didn’t find its mark.
Ji Ling felt his wrist gripped by a powerful hand. He raised his head, and his line of sight fell onto a pair of icy golden eyes. The man looked at him with eyes so cold they penetrated his heart.
After experiencing so many setbacks, Ji Ling had finally come across a cooperative and reliable character! He was immediately touched, and his eyes turned red. Holding back his tears of joy, he stammered incoherently: “Y-Your Majesty..."
Jing Sui's thin lips pursed slightly. Annoyance flashed in his golden pupils. If it wasn’t for Grand Duke Ji Ting, he would’ve stopped tolerating Ji Ling long ago. His brows furrowed, and he said sternly: “What are you doing?"
Ji Ling's eyes glistened when he heard this, looking sad and shocked. He murmured, "Your Majesty, you’re actually angry at me because of a lower being?"
Jing Sui's eyes turned even colder. His hand gripped slightly harder and he looked down to meet Ji Ling's eyes. He gave a warning, coldly and heartlessly: "If there’s a next time, I’ll tell Grand Duke Ji Ting to discipline you thoroughly.
Although he hadn’t made any mention of Ning Yu the whole time, his protection of Ning Yu and his disdainful words towards Ji Ling, along with his coldness and indifference made Ji Ling’s previous provocation seem even more ridiculous and absurd!
In Jing Sui’s eyes, he was probably a little buffoon who made trouble everywhere.
Ah, this contemptuous sentence was exactly the same as in the original book.
Ji Ling was so moved that tears almost flowed out. He thought to himself, Even if there were a thousand, no, ten thousand, abnormal villains, as long as the main gong and shou were still acting according to the plot and saying their lines, then he could continue on!
He looked at Jing Sui's cold expression as if he’d seen the new dawn after victory.
Every cloud had a silver lining.
Seldom did he come across such favorable scenes. Ji Ling was preparing to continue acting onwards, but before he could say anything, he heard someone shout suddenly and furiously from the side: "Jing Sui!"
Who is it? Who dares call the emperor by his first name so boldly?!
Ji Ling turned around in surprise, and saw Brandon dressed in a black military uniform, looking cold and coming over in big strides. His gray eyes were full of obvious rage!
Ji Ling didn’t want to stay here. Brandon hadn’t shown up last life… This was a two-person scene between him and Jing Sui. What, did he come over to join in the festivities or something?
In the blink of an eye, Brandon had come in front of him. He used his tall body to block Ji Ling, and raised his hand to clench the hand Jing Sui had on Ji Ling's wrist. His gray eyes looked straight at Jing Sui without running or hiding. Emphasizing each word clearly, he said: “L-e-t g-o.”
Ji Ling: "......"
Jing Sui raised his line of sight. A puzzled look flashed through his eyes. In the end, he still loosened his hand slowly, and stared at Brandon pensively.
Brandon noticed that Jing Sui had finally let go. Without sparing a second to even accuse Jing Sui first, Brandon hurriedly turned back to look at the young man behind him. The youth’s eyes had turned red, and he looked at him tearfully. A red mark was etched on that fair white wrist. Obviously, Jing Sui hadn’t held back in the slightest. Seeing all this made Brandon’s heart ache.
Jing Sui went too far. How could he have had the heart to treat Ji Ling like this?
Last life, I hadn’t noticed what happened at the banquet, because I didn't care about Ji Ling at all. However, news got out in the end. Everyone knew that Ji Ling had humiliated Ning Yu at the banquet and was punished by His Majesty. It wasn’t until then that I found out what happened, but even when I heard, I’d just laughed.
After his rebirth this time, Brandon had hurried over, worried that history would repeat itself and afraid that the youth would be hurt. He rushed over madly, but he never expected to be one step too late.
He should’ve prevented the whole thing.
Ji Ling gawked stupidly upon seeing Brandon's look of concern. Brandon's stance this time was so obvious, and the scene was too much of a mess that Ji Ling’s brain couldn’t get past this point. This guy had always been a merciless iron-blooded soldier. How could he defend a little rich kid like me…
Help! Don’t tell me Brandon really was reborn!
But even if you were reborn, shouldn’t you be staying further away from a hateful rich kid like me who only causes you trouble? Instead, you’re fighting against Jing Sui for me? What are you thinking? He’s your best friend, isn’t he?!
Just thinking of Brandon’s actions and behaviors made Ji Ling’s tears flow uncontrollably. However, he quietly snuck a glance at Jing Sui's cold face, and was immediately invigorated like he’d received a tonic. At least the protagonist was normal!
Stand firm, don't panic.
I can continue!
Ji Ling turned a blind eye to Brandon. He bit his lip, and stared fixedly at Jing Sui, appearing to be stubbornly bearing this grievance.
Jing Sui didn’t even spare him a glance out of the corner of his eye. Instead, he put both his hands behind his back and looked at Brandon coldly and pensively. He said slowly: "Why did you come over here?
Ji Ling held his breath and hid behind a large tree. Not long after, he saw Ning Yu come over.
After a few days of not seeing him, Ning Yu seemed like he hadn’t been affected by the kidnapping at all. He still looked heroic and handsome, with gentle and cool green eyes. He was obviously familiar with Jing Sui and walked over with a smile, saying: "Your Majesty."
