Chapter 141： confirm

"Chou, sit down." In front of Li Zifu, Bai Qingyang said kindly.

Inside Yuheng Palace, beside the boxy small table, Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi were sitting side by side, and facing them was the group of bad friends standing awkwardly.

"Yang Dejin, sit down too." Xie Zhi raised his hand, his face watery.

Yang Dejin wrinkled his bitter face, turned his head slightly, and looked at Li Zichou, who also turned his corner of the eye to her, with the same expression of wanting to cry but not tears.

Yang Dejin: Ah ah ah ah ah what's the matter with you, Li Zichou? ? Have you been instigated by these two people and deliberately made Ji Fang squat me there? !

Li Zishou:?

Li Zishou: I didn't! God knows how I bumped into them, my soul is going to be scared out of my head!

Yang Dejin: I was the one who was almost frightened, okay! Running into three ghosts at night, who can resist it? ?

Li Zishou: ...

Yang Dejin: What are you doing? Don't be silent, what should you do now?

Li Zichou: Do you think it's too late for me to pretend to be sleepwalking?

Yang Dejin: Sleepwalking with eyes open? Are you Zhang Fei?

Li Zishou: ...

Li Zishou: Then what excuses do you have?

Yang Dejin: You can pretend to be taken away by Li Chou.

Li Zishou: ...

Li Zishou: My evaluation is not as good as sleepwalking.

If Bai Qingyang really felt that he was taken away by Li Fu, then it was not a question of whether he could get away with it, but a question of whether he could survive.

"Is the communication over?" Bai Qingyang's voice came out suddenly.

"Sit down after the exchange." Xie Zhi continued.

Li and Yang looked at each other, they could only succumb to the coercion of Bai Xie and sat down tremblingly.

Bai Qingyang looked at Yang Dejin, then at Li Zishou, with a thoughtful expression.

Xie Zhi didn't look at his boss, but just stared at Yang Dejin, not intending to speak first.

Li Zifu was stunned by Bai Qingyang's gaze, so he could only lower his head and stare fixedly at Xiaoji, wishing to stare at two holes on the table.

Yang Dejin was so nervous that she lost control of her face management: I don't know what to say, so I just give them a smile.

Seeing that no one really spoke, Bai Qingyang coughed lightly, and tapped on the table with his fingers: "Explain."

Xie Zhi: "Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance."

Li Zishou and Yang Dejin looked at each other again: It's broken, they are now criminals.

Yang Dejin: Do you say it or should I say it?

Li Zishou: Tell me.

Yang Dejin: ...Okay.

"Uh..." Yang Dejin pondered for two seconds before saying, "The reason why we all gather here today...Ah!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped heavily by Li Zichou.

"speak nicely!"

Yang Dejin was interrupted by her, so she had to shut up in embarrassment: "Then what do you want to ask, just ask."

Xie Zhi then asked: "Didn't you say that you would stay in Linjing and wait for my return? Then why did you appear there just now?"

Yang Dejin pointed to the person next to her: "She asked me out, I didn't want to run away."

Bai Qingyang looked at Li Zishou again, with a displeased expression: "So you want to run away?"

"It's impossible for me to run without taking anything with me." Li Zichou spread out her hands, and the dragon robe on her body showed that she really didn't have such thoughts, "I just want to talk to Yang Dejin."

Bai Qingyang: "Why are you so sneaky for a chat?"

Li Zichou muttered: "You always ask people to follow me, how uncomfortable..."

"...You think I've restricted your freedom, don't you?"

"I don't…"

As soon as the conversation started, the atmosphere between the emperor and empress cooled down. Yang Dejin glanced at the two of them respectively, not knowing what to say.

It was Xie Zhi who turned his head quickly, and decisively focused his cannonballs on Yang Dejin: "You said that you would tell the whole story, and now that everyone is here, it is a good opportunity to confess."

Li Zichou asked Yang Dejin: "What are you confessing?"

Yang Dejin replied: "Just confess who we are, where we come from, and where we are going."

Li Zishou: "Philosophical or practical?"

Yang Dejin: "On the practical level."

Li Zichou snorted, and looked at Bai Qingyang: "Are you sure you want to know?"

Bai Qingyang also looked back at her: "I've been waiting for you to speak."

"You may not accept it."

"Then tell me."

Li Zichou and Yang Dejin looked at each other again, and both of them made up their minds.

"Well, actually... we are not from this world."

…

Now that he decided to start from the beginning, there was nothing to hide. It took Li Yang half an hour just to explain who they were, where they came from, and what they did after they came here.

During the period, Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi couldn't help asking questions several times, they finally understood the unreasonable points, and all questions were answered.

"The established destiny..."

"The book world..."

After Bai and Xie said these two sentences respectively, they fell silent at the same time.

Seeing their brows furrowed tightly, Li Zishou and Yang Dejin couldn't help feeling worried.

"Let them know."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Actually, you can understand if you don't believe it. After all, this fact is..."

"We still haven't figured out what happened."

The intruders from another world brought information beyond the knowledge of the aborigines. Anyone who heard it would find it outrageous, but Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi believed it. They just needed some time to digest that they were characters in the book fact.

It does sound absurd that one's own existence is an artificially set plot role or something, but Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi have unexplainable experiences themselves, so it is not as difficult for them to accept as the group of bad friends imagined.

"No, actually we..." Xie Zhi looked at Bai Qingyang and asked for her opinion.

Bai Qingyang nodded to her, and said to the two of them: "Since you have shown your sincerity, then we shouldn't hold back."

"What... mean?" Li Zichou and Yang Dejin looked at each other.

Bai Qingyang: "In my previous life, I committed suicide in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now I am the reborn me."

Li Zichou opened his mouth slightly and frowned, as if he was struggling to understand her words, while Yang Dejin jumped up.

"Rebirth??!"

Bai Qingyang: "Yes, as you all imagined, I was indeed a monarch, and I have the memory of two lifetimes."

Yang Dejin: "I'll go...Are you kidding me?"

Bai Qingyang asked back: "Then what you said just now were you joking?"

Yang Dejin was at a loss for words, she swallowed her saliva, and then asked Xie Zhi: "Then what do you have to confess?"

Xie Zhi: "The day after she committed suicide, I was also brought back to the past, and your arrival should have happened at the same time."

Yang Dejin: "You were brought back...meaning that everything now is the past for you?"

Xie Zhi nodded, and then shook his head: "It was before, but everything I've experienced at this moment is not a given."

Yang Dejin had already left the Zen chair, took two steps back, and assumed a vigilant posture: "So, so, you two...are people who have gone through the plot once?"

Xie Zhi nodded: "Yes."

Yang Dejin laughed dryly, looked at Li Zishou, feeling grateful for his survival after the catastrophe: "Wow...haha...I didn't expect the two of us to be able to sit here alive."

Bai Qingyang was silent, Xie Zhi said to her: "She speaks straight, just get used to it."

Yang Dejin was terrified, and the chill on her back was lingering. She thought that the origin of herself and Li Zifu was enough to have an impact, but she didn't expect that there was a big one hidden on the other side. She said why Xie Zhi was so hostile to her in the early days, dare to say that she had already become cannon fodder for the villain in her eyes!

Xie Zhi: "You have taken the place of the original owner, so naturally we can't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Yang Dejin: "Then if you didn't find anything wrong, wouldn't you have already killed us?"

Xie Zhi said indifferently: "No, your disguise is very clumsy, it's hard not to notice."

Yang Dejin hesitated to speak: Obviously you two are too sophisticated, right? !

"And..." Xie Zhi added, "Even if we want to get rid of you, we won't do it right away. Bai Qingyang and I still have a lot of preparations to do."

Yang Dejin was still afraid for a while: "Thank you both for your kindness of not killing, the little girl has nothing to repay, why don't you just kowtow to each of you."

Bai Qingyang: "..."

Xie Zhi: "..."

It is indeed a bit straightforward to speak, and sometimes it is really hard to catch up.

Bai Qingyang put his gaze on Li Zifu, seeing her strange expression, he asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Li Zishou lowered her head, she had been silent since the very beginning.

"Have you ever killed yourself?" she asked.

"..."

Not only Bai Qingyang, but the other two fell silent after hearing this.

Not getting an answer, Li Zichou asked Xie Zhi again: "Did you know then?"

"He doesn't know," Bai Qingyang said before Xie Zhi could speak, "I kept it a secret from everyone."

"why…?"

"Because I can't take it anymore." Facing Li Zichou's sad expression, Bai Qingyang smiled, it was a smile of relief, "At that time, my father's case had become an old case, and there was no way to reverse the case. Hope, my mother passed away many years ago, and I really miss them.

"The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty does not belong to me. I have done everything I should and should not have done. I am really too tired, so after I have chosen my successor, I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion without any worries.

"I want to see Aye, Auntie."

Li Zichou bowed his head: "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I don't know..." Li Zichou muttered, "I always feel... very sad."

Yang Dejin: "Your reward..."

She knew that Li Zishou was actually a person with rich emotions. Although she didn't often show it on her face, as a close friend, Yang Dejin could see her thoughts to some extent.

Seeing her like this, probably Bai Qingyang is really important in her heart.

Bai Qingyang fell silent. She stared at Li Zifu's sad expression with downcast eyes, and there was a secret impulse in her heart.

Li Zishou's appearance like this is really too rare, it's like luring someone to give alms. Bai Qingyang likes her weak appearance.

I don't want others to see it.

Bai Qingyang thought so, and indeed did so. She held the other person's wrist involuntarily and pulled him up from the seat.

Li Zifu was a little stunned, but Bai Qingyang just said "Excuse me", after leaving this sentence, he took them away regardless of the reaction of the remaining two people.

"Hey, wait..." Xie Zhi wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Yang Dejin.

"It's a bit impolite for you to follow the past now."

//

"Qing, Qingyang...what the **** are you..."

Bai Qingyang dragged him all the way to the side hall of Yuheng Palace, Li Zichou was a little at a loss and a little uneasy.

She didn't know why Bai Qingyang suddenly pulled her here, the aggressiveness made her wonder if she said something wrong just now. Ask the other party, the other party is also silent and does not answer.

His wrist was jerked violently, and Li Zifu was pushed against the wall by the other party's merciless movements, and the painful low cry only slipped out half a syllable before being sealed by the other party's forceful kiss.

"Well…!"

Li Zishou's eyes widened. The moment her soft lips and warm fragrance hit her at the same time, the throbbing in her chest became disorganized, and her always rational and clear brain shut down at this moment, preventing her from pushing forward immediately. Open each other.

Bai Qingyang approached unscrupulously, greedily touching, licking and biting her lips, breaking through the minimum of innocence and absorbing the other's tenderness.

"Mmm...Qing, Qingyang...you..." Li Zichou unconsciously held his breath, when the feeling of lack of oxygen came up, his rationality was long overdue.

She wanted to turn her head to avoid Bai Qingyang's kiss, but the other party's hands went around her neck, controlling the back of her head, preventing her from having another chance to escape.

Li Zifu had no choice but to use some strength to take down the opponent's hand, and pushed her shoulder away with the other hand.

Li Zichou panted, calmed down, and looked directly at her: "Qing Yang... calm down."

Bai Qingyang was also panting, and being pushed away by Li Zifu, not only was she not annoyed, but she also felt confused and happy. The green kiss was dedicated to the person she admired in her heart. repressed.

"Qing Yang?" Seeing the other party's expression as if opening a door to a new world, Li Zishou felt a little uncomfortable, so he loosened her wrist involuntarily.

Bai Qingyang murmured: "I like you." After saying this confession abruptly, before the other party could react, he leaned forward and kissed him a second time.

"Wait... um..."

"..."

Bai Qingyang was so active, Li Zichou felt troubled, and at the same time, his face turned crimson. She didn't want to be too tough on Bai Qingyang, but she really had no way to retreat. With this distance, neither of them would be too calm.

"...Qing, Qingyang!" Li Zichou was really out of breath, she raised her head and broke free from her lips.

Because of being too excited, Bai Qingyang was breathing heavily, and the unfamiliar kiss made her brain dizzy, as if she had exerted too much force.

For a moment, in the empty side hall, there was only the sound of the two panting together.

"Why...do you do this?"

"what do you mean?"

"I mean..."

Li Zifu's face was still burning, Bai Qingyang obviously pretended not to know on purpose, and asked herself the other way around, which made her a little annoyed, but she had nothing to do with him.

"Are you angry?" Bai Qingyang asked.

"What?" Li Zichou frowned, "Aren't you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

"Then why do you... dear..."

"Because I'm happy."

"Happy…?"

Bai Qingyang hummed in a low voice, pinching Li Zichou's front with his fingers, with a joyful smile on his face that he would only show when he was close to his sweetheart.

"Because there is such a person who respects me, treats me well, is happy for me, and sad for me."

"Even without me, someone else would..."

"It's different," Bai Qingyang interrupted her, "You are different from them."

"It's different, because I don't belong here at all." Li Zishou said seriously.

After Bai Qingyang heard this, he suppressed his smile: "So what? You want me to retreat in spite of difficulties?"

"I just don't want you to fall in love with a fraudster who's been watching your whole life."

"You also know that you are a fraud. You cheated my feelings. I would be willing to endure no matter how much pain I endured just to be with you. But now you want to get out completely?"

"Qing Yang, I'm an outsider, don't you mind?"

"What about outsiders? I was reborn once, and I know exactly what I'm doing." Bai Qingyang caressed Li Zichou's face, "You are a gift from God, I can't let go, absolutely not."

"Qing Yang, why are you bothering?"

"Because I don't think liking you is a hard thing," Bai Qingyang said, "Although you often pretend you don't understand, and you always push me away, making me very angry, but I have never regretted liking you. "

"But I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid that I will do something to you?"

"Do not…"

"You're not that Li Fu, why would I kill you?" Bai Qingyang didn't listen to her at all, as if he was angry because the other party didn't believe him, "Why don't you understand? I like you, so why not?" Could it possibly do something to hurt you?"

"I know...but Qing Yang, this kind of feeling is too heavy for you. Have you ever thought that your feeling for me might just be a kind of dependence and trust, far from the level of love between a man and a woman."

"...Then I'll tell you what my feelings for you are."

//

On the other side, the main hall of Yuheng Palace.

Xie Zhi: "Are the two of them alright?"

"It should be fine." Yang Dejin withdrew his gaze and looked at the people around him, "Xie Zhi, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for all of a sudden?"

"Thank you for not thinking I'm a bad person." Yang Dejin said.

"I see everything you say and do, and I know what kind of person you are." Xie Zhi remembered an incident a long time ago, and couldn't help being a little amused, "It's just that when you broke into the Minister's Mansion at night at first, it really made me I'm extremely guarded against you."

"I also didn't expect that Mrs. Bai was taken back to Linjing by you in advance. If I knew that Mrs. Bai was settled in your house, I would have to spend so much effort?"

At that time, Yang Dejin was looking around for someone to inquire about Mrs. Bai's whereabouts. She wanted to find someone to take care of her so that Bai Qingyang would not turn black too quickly, but she didn't expect that among the four of them, none of them were reopened. She and Xie Zhi , Just like this, I hit up a partner by mistake.

"The deceased is gone, and all I can do is to take good care of the living. Until now, I also feel that the decision I made was correct, because I not only protected my wife, but also met you.

"I am very happy every day I am with you. For the first time, I know that besides investigation and revenge, I can have other pursuits in my life.

"So, it should be me who should say thank you, thank you for bringing so many surprises and joys to my life."

Yang Dejin was a little embarrassed: "It's too exaggerated..."

Xie Zhi shook his head: "Meeting you unexpectedly is the greatest luck in my life."

"Xie, Xie Zhi..." Sensing what Xie Zhi wanted to say next, Yang Dejin couldn't help becoming nervous.

"I promised you before leaving Linjing. I have to confess certain things to you." Xie Zhi took a deep breath and finally mustered up his courage, "Yang Dejin, I have feelings of love for you."

After a brief daze, Yang Dejin hummed in a low voice: "I already knew."

"I'm sorry for having such disrespectful feelings towards you without authorization, but I really can't control it."

"There's nothing wrong with falling in love, Xie Zhi, you don't need to apologize."

"But such feelings need to pay a price. I would rather bear the ridicule and abuse of the world alone, and I don't want you to be blamed."

"That's why you desperately suppress your inner thoughts?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid of the world's words, I'm afraid that the one I love will be hurt." Xie Zhi smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I were a man, I could like you openly and aboveboard, and stay with you for the rest of my life."

Yang Dejin frowned fiercely: "If you were a man, I would pack my luggage and run away overnight."

Xie Zhi: "?"

Yang Dejin sighed: "Did you know? In our place, men can fall in love with men, and women can also fall in love with women. It's not the only choice for women to be with men."

Xie Zhi was slightly surprised, showing a little envious expression: "Is your hometown so open and inclusive?"

"Compared to here, it is indeed much more open and tolerant, but prejudice and barriers still exist, and same-sex romances are still a minority."

"Aren't they afraid?"

"It varies from person to person. There are many people who can overcome prejudice and estrangement, and finally be with their lover."

"so good…"

"What I want to say is that although this place is completely incomparable to my previous world, since Mr. Xie is not afraid of being criticized, I have no reason to be afraid." Yang Dejin said solemnly, "You have already taken on enough , This kind of thing, let the two of you face it together, after all, I am also a mature adult."

"You...can you accept it?" Xie Zhi seemed a little unbelievable.

Yang Dejin nodded seriously: "Of course, after all, you are also a woman who perfectly meets my criteria for choosing a mate."

Mrs. Xie is good-looking, gentle and powerful, and she is a woman, that is her destined other half of Yang Dejin.

How can there be so many great reasons, sometimes, love is so superficial.

"What's more, the two of us are not the only ones who fall into a similar relationship, right?" Xie Zhi held his hand, and she heard her say, "It's really a joy to be liked by someone you like. thing, don't you think so?"

"Well...very happy."

Feeling the strength of Xie Zhi's grip, Yang Dejin couldn't help but bend his eyebrows: "Then can you give me unreserved love?"

She smiled brightly, and the joy that could not be concealed between her brows was like a feather lightly passing over the tip of Xie Zhi's heart, causing some kind of urge to approach her. Xie Zhi felt that the lonely watch that he had always insisted on How ridiculous.

Before Yang Dejin stepped forward, Xie Zhi pulled her closer, and the distance between them shortened to zero.

Gentle and beautiful.

At this moment, both of them confirmed each other's intentions.

"Wait," Yang Dejin blushed and distanced herself, but asked an irrelevant question, "Have you grown taller?"

Xie Zhi: "...?" Her point is this? ?

Yang Dejin looked at the boots Xie Zhi was wearing, and compared her height. When she found that the other person was about the same size as herself, she was full of surprise: "When did you grow up behind my back?!"

The charming atmosphere was completely lost by Yang Dejin, and Xie Zhi's head was full of black lines: "...you said before that I was too thin, so let me eat more."

Yang Dejin's eyes widened: "It's too outrageous, how long has it been?"

Xie Zhi is in his twenties, how can he still grow? This is because he is taking hormones, right? !

Xie Zhi raised his forehead, Yang Dejin, a master at ruining the atmosphere, felt that falling in love with her would be a headache.

"You two, this is...?" Bai Qingyang came from the side hall, and what he saw was the scene where the two were very close to each other.

Li Zichou followed her without saying a word, and was a little surprised when he noticed Yang and Xie holding hands together: "Yang Dejin...?"

Yang Dejin didn't let go of Xie Zhi's hand, she just looked at her friend and called out his name: "Zizhi."

"…I see."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you."

Li Zichou shook his head: "It's expected."

Xie Zhi also looked at the empress, Yang Dejin's parents were in another world, so the only person who could take on the status of Yang Dejin's mother's family was Li Zishou, who was her benefactor and also Yang Dejin's best friend.

"Don't worry, I will cherish her well."

"Love through a mirror is difficult to tolerate ethically. You must be mentally prepared."

Xie Zhi looked at Bai Qingyang, then at Li Zishou: "I don't care, there will always be someone who will understand us."

Li Zifu stared at Xie Zhi fixedly, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "May you be happy."

"Thank you for your approval."

Bai Qingyang spoke at this time: "But shouldn't you two be called Duanxiu?"

Li Zishou: "?"

Yang Dejin: "?"

Xie Zhi: "?"

The author has something to say:

Xie Zhi: I didn't expect that the last werewolf who was about to blow himself up was... me, myself?

I'm really convinced, I don't know how to write a relationship line, I feel that Xiao Jin is the kind of second arm who will ask to turn on the TV to watch Mai enter the city in the middle of a do, and when she thinks that she can really do such a thing, she feels so broken and can't stand it.
