Chapter 698: half a sentence

   Chapter 698 Half a sentence
   On the avenue of Emerald City, Thales rode on a horse and followed indifferently beside the carriage that Shi Lai was riding.
They are surrounded by the heavy protection of the Star Lake Guards, the knights of the Emerald Legion are at the outer edge, and the outermost are the guards who have been assigned to duty. They are trying to maintain the cordon, roaring and throwing up batons, shields and even swords, and smashed the streets on both sides. Competing to see the appearance of the nobles, or pointing to the citizens who were talking about Thales to stop them.
   Well, although the case of Cacquere is buzzing, at least he wasn't thrown an egg.
  Not currently available.
   After a few seconds, Thales took a deep breath and turned to the window:
   "Why, Hillary? Just then, is that really necessary?"
"That way you can listen to me carefully," a white arm was propped up by the window, but the silk gloves above the wrist were somewhat redundant, "and, no thanks, unless you'd rather spend a day with the Seychelles captain. , Qingqing, my love and affection are miserable and miserable."
   "But what you just said about us being in the room...people, people will get it wrong!"
   "Oh, you mean the part of the contraceptive pill?" A round face appeared above his arm at the right time, with a mocking smile, "Don't worry, my brother is too busy to take care of himself and has no time to trouble you."
   "That's not what I'm worried about! What I'm worried about is the fear of people, your reputation, the damage you will suffer, and what people will say about you..."
   Thales couldn't go on, so he sighed and smoothed Jenny's mane
  The girl from the Kevin Deere family was lying on the side of the car window, with all her makeup, she blinked and looked at him intriguingly.
   "Strange, Thales, why are you always so worried about me?"
   Thales frowned:
   "I'm serious, Hilla, it's not some flirting joke between men and women..."
"It really isn't," Shi Lai's expression suddenly changed, and his words were stern, "I'm saying, why do you, Prince Thales, and maybe my brother and others, always be so confident, so sure, that you are better than you? Is the client more qualified to worry about her?"
   Thales stopped for a while.
   "You know, you're not a king—not yet."
   Sheila tilted his head and repeated his words:
   "Why don't you worry about yourself, fear of being feared by others, worry about your reputation, worry about how you will be passed on?"
   was stunned for a while, Thales hesitated for a moment, and sighed.
   "Because, because I'm a man."
  Xile raised his eyebrows and was about to retort, but was interrupted by Thales raising his hand.
"I know it doesn't sound fair, Sheila, but for many people in the world, an affair is just a badge on my chest, a warrior's scar, and the more the better, the better," Thales struggled to find a suitable metaphor. , "but a noose around your neck, a festering abscess, slow and vicious, and deadly in one shot."
  Xilee was silent for a while, then sneered.
   "A man's medal, isn't it? Even the aphrodisiac and your 'no' part?"
  Aphrodisiac...
   Thales only felt a pain in his heart.
"Well, if you say this, it may hurt the self-esteem of men -- some men --" the prince persuaded bitterly, healing himself by the way, "but on the other side, to be precise, on the basis of Is it worth your reputation and even your life to hurt me, Hilla?"
   "Then are you hurt?"
   "No! Because that's not true!" Thales opened his hands and denied loudly.
   Feeling the master's inappropriateness, Jenny, the war horse, perked up her ears vigilantly and let out an uneasy low cry, ready to raise her hoofs at any time to speed up her escape.
  Xile raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes, showing some mockery and smugness.
   Thales immediately realized that his volume was too high, while he comforted Jenny, he looked back nervously:
Fortunately, everyone in the Star Lake Guard is at least five meters away from him, and everyone walks steadily, seriously, not looking sideways, not listening - especially D.D, you probably won't find any comparison in this guy's life. This is the time to be more dedicated and loving.
"Well, I can't be exempt from the custom, it's a little bit of influence," Thales retracted his hands in a gloomy way, "but to be honest, this kind of relying on some primitive, narrow and boring standard to advertise value to a man , the rules of building self-esteem, and the ethos of pretending to be in any case for fear that others will say you can’t, it’s really really really stupid!

   Xile tutted and shook his head: "It may be more convincing to say this after you are forty years old."
   Thales choked on his words and decided to return to the topic just now:
   "Anyway, what I'm going to say is that what you just did was pretty unwise, and it's not good for you—"
"If I am as you say, Your Royal Highness," interrupted Shiley coldly, "if I care about being fearful, about my 'reputation,' and about what I will be passed on, I don't care what kind of damage I suffer, I've been hanged by a noose long ago, and there's only one walking corpse left - the one who for years has been treated by balls, parties, banquets, peers, ladies and ladies, and, of course, Carla The vicious noose of the Bijan sisters' vicious whispers and little notes."
   Thales was silent when he heard the words, and said weakly:
   "Sheila..."
"As you say, that 'primitive, narrow and boring' thing will only become your medal if you cater to the values ​​that others have advertised for you and acknowledge the self-esteem that others have built for you, like a male peacock feathers of pride."
   Xilai hummed softly:
   "Similarly, if I don't care and don't follow such rules, this noose won't hang me."
All right.
   Thales sighed.
"The reason why a rule is a rule is not only that someone is willing to abide by it," he sighed slightly as he looked at the sky dome covered with dark clouds and gradually gloomy, "but also that it will be imposed on those who are unwilling to abide by the former, and those who violate punished."
   and costly.
   Sheila was silent for a while.
   "Indeed, that's why I was forced to sterilize my flesh and remove abscesses in the hope of being clean and pure - at least until my father died and no one could care about me anymore."
   She raised her gloved hand with a sarcastic expression:
   "Look what I got."
   Thales sighed helplessly.
"Sometimes I really wonder if you are Jane's sister, or Kevin Deere," the prince shook his head, "or jumped out of some rock, wielding a big stick, and making a riot in the kingdom of God. Wild monkeys."
   "Does the female monkey also have a big stick?"
   Thales' complexion changed:
   "This is not a joke!"
  The atmosphere eased a little, and Xilai shook her head with a tut, and pointed to the distance:
   "So, if you want to be neither harmed nor punished, in addition to not caring about non-compliance, you must also know how to use and use those who care about and follow the rules."
"what?"
"A minute ago, the Seychelles knights held up the banner of the Duke of Iris to intercept your team, and consciously ordered the world, even the royal family did not dare to obey," Xilai raised the corner of his mouth, "but now, as an extreme state Master, he is respectful and trembling, and consciously avoids one street away, lest I say even one more word, why?"
   Thales frowned.
   Sheila stared at him for a moment, smiling slightly.
"Because people who enjoy majesty and are obsessed with power, such as Seychelles, really believe too much in a certain 'primitive, narrow and boring' standard, and care too much about this kind of self-esteem rule that advertises value to others," Hope said. Lai looked into the distance sharply, "He was afraid of being fearful, for fear that if I talk too much, it would affect not only myself, but also Kevin Deere's reputation, for fear that when he returns to Kongming Palace and faces Jenn alone, he will It will leave a bad impression on the furious master of 'ineffectiveness and bad reputation', which will affect his future military career."
  Xile looked at Thales, and the conversation changed:
   "Of course the Seychelles may be - not much, but a little bit - still afraid, after he publicly presses the fact that you 'can't' in bed..."
   "It's not true." Thales added with a sullen face.
   "...will be left unforgettable by the second prince and future king on the 'things men care about most', permanently hated, and retaliation in the future."
   Thales frowned and turned his head gently:
   In front of the Emerald Legion's queue, the Seychelles knight felt Thales' gaze, he quickly turned his head, and sat upright on the horse, solemn and majestic.
   As if always.
   "And don't forget, between this set of rules for men and women, there is another set of rules that can be used by me." Xi Lai said quietly.
   "Another set?" Thales asked.
   Having said that, Cecilia smiled mysteriously. She leaned over the car window and stuck her head out to face Thales on the horse.
"I am the daughter of the former South Bank Guardian Duke Leinster Kelvindir, the sister of the current Duke Jenn Kelvindir, the iris blood descendant of Tianhuang nobles, the unique Emerald City Princess, I can inherit and The property used is enough to buy a city, the family tree that I can touch and relate to covers the entire kingdom, and the value and significance of my political marriage far exceeds that of any woman from the age of eight to eighty years old west of the Blood Gate Fortress. "
   She has deep eyes and a playful expression, which makes Thales a little embarrassed:
"So, yes, even if I had slept with a hundred men before marriage, even if I had miscarried fifty children on the delivery bed, even if I was naked and dancing on the highest wall of the Emerald City every day, even if I swaggered through the market with a 'one copper coin once' sign hanging on my butt, and as long as I was still Cecilia Kevin Dill, when I got married, I was destined to be pure, beautiful, and virtuous. It is also IKEA and IKEA, which is worthy of the historian's biography."
   Her words made Thales frown again and again.
"And if I'm just a deformed girl born to a poor farmer," Xi Lai looked at his gloves, his eyes dazzled, "even if I started reciting the sunset scriptures from my mother's womb, served the sunset goddess, and wore chastity locks all my life, It was destined to be filthy, depraved, vile, neglected, and despised."
   "So, why should I care?"
   Thales couldn't bear to see her like this, but he finally held back the thought of speaking out.
   He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile:
   "Okay, doubts resolved."
  Xile raised his head, only to see Thales tutting and shaking his head, feeling and helpless:
   "You are indeed Jenn's sister, no, you may be more 'Kevin Deere' than him in some parts."
   "The part that wields the big stick?"
   "No—can't you be careful with your words?"
   "This is not a joke, don't think about it."
   "Don't learn from me!"
After    a confrontation, the two were silent for a while, thinking about each other in the rhythm of the team's march.
   A few minutes later, Hillary glanced at Thales tentatively:
   "Then... we are reconciled?"
   can be considered as coaxing him?
"No!"
   Thales' expression changed when he heard the words:
   "No, uh, no, I mean, we didn't say 'quarrel' and 'reconciliation' in the first place, we just, just..."
   "Then you're finally willing to talk to me properly?" Hillary looked at him with glittering eyes.
   In the end, Thales sighed helplessly.
   "Okay, I, um... I just..."
   "I'm sorry." Hillary's mood changed.
   Thales' expression moved, slightly surprised.
  She...apologised?
   She actually apologized?
  Did I hear it wrong? Or is the world set up wrong?
"I... I'm so sorry, I know that yesterday's events put a lot of pressure on you, especially..." Sheila's voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to keep looking at Thales, "You have every reason to avoid Let me go."
   Thales felt the contradiction in the other party's heart, and he subconsciously denied:
   "No, I'm not avoiding, I'm just..."
   Thales didn't say what happened next.
   It just takes time to get ready to face you.
   and your chaotic, chaotic 'friend' who is able to launch a brutal attack when a weak point is found, until a living person is torn from the inside out, from soul to bone, torn apart.
The faces of   Thelma and Coria flashed through his mind one after another, causing him to subconsciously tug on his collar to make his breathing easier.
   "In contrast, after facing the spirit bone Jacques, you are still able to stay sane and speak rationally and calmly, which amazes me even more." Xilai said in a low voice.
   Hearing that name, Thales felt an uncomfortable feeling again.
   "What about you? How long has it been? How did you meet it? How did you follow it..."
   Thales looked at Shi Lai's expression and understood something.
   "You won't answer me, will you?"
   "I will, I promise," Sheila took a deep breath and looked into Thales' eyes seriously, "When the time comes."
   Thales looked back at her quietly for three seconds.
   "Of course." Thales came back to his senses and looked forward.
   The time has come.
   "But it is your last resort? Because the consequences of summoning it are quite serious and uncontrollable, like drinking poison to quench thirst?"
   "Almost." Hilley retreated into the shadows of the carriage.
   Thales was silent for a few seconds.
   "I understand," the teenager rubbed the scar on the palm of his left hand, "I know that feeling."
   "Is that so, I doubt it." She chuckled, not knowing her emotions.
   "Does your brother know about this?"
  Xilei was silent, and after a long while, her voice came out from the carriage:
   "Can you keep it a secret?"
   Thales looked at the dark carriage and hesitated for a long time.
  Xile's matter... Can it be used as a bargaining chip to blackmail Jenn?
   For example, "Miss Kevin Deere resorts to evil and hooks the devil"?
  Forcing him to take a step back and accept his own conditions?
   After all, Jen is the most precious of his own sister, isn't he?
   Then maybe, before the Secret Division really starts, he has one last chance to enter the game and interfere with the situation in the Emerald City?
   Thales took a deep breath.
   He looked at Shi Lai's carriage.
   After a few seconds, he finally sighed.
Do not.
   Thales shook his head in his heart and denied:
   Such an effort, he has already tried.
   Kevin Dier will not be defeated by the enemy - his confrontation with Jenn this morning has confirmed that the Duke of South Bank is not willing to eat hard.
   What's more, the one he used to threaten him was Jenn's most untouchable baby sister.
  Yes, that was the case years ago: Jenn didn't even hesitate to destroy his alliance with the Corleone family and the Kingdom of the Night, but also to get rid of himself, just because...
   nonsense.
   A voice emerged from the bottom of his heart, mocking him mercilessly: It's just that you are making excuses for your weakness, Thales Jinxing.
   is simply deceiving yourself.
   Thales trembled slightly.
   Where does it come from so many forward-looking considerations, you don't want to do this, there is only one reason why you don't want to use her as a bargaining chip:
  You can't bear it.
  You can't bear to see that girl's life broken again.
   I couldn't bear to see the shock in her eyes when she was betrayed.
   Thales closed his eyes.
   Just like those people who have been shattered countless times because of your every move.
   The voice in his heart was naked and cold, making him unable to refute.
  Coria, Selma, Naki and Nai in the Prison of Bones... Countless figures flashed before his eyes at that moment.
   And because of your weakness this time, this time you can't bear it, maybe, more people's lives will be broken for it?
  Have you forgotten the purpose of your coming here?
   Remember, feng shui turns, Karma is a bitch, you are here to depose the duke and destroy Zhan...
   His thoughts turned, and Thales suddenly opened his eyes!
   "Of course, I'll keep it a secret," he forced a smile, facing the dark carriage, "We all have our own secrets."
   Several seconds later, Shi Lai's voice came from the carriage, with complicated emotions:
"thanks."
   An embarrassing silence fell between the two.
   Thales took a deep breath and turned to the back: Cassian, who was sloppy and described as embarrassed, walked on the road with his head down, inconspicuous.
   "What about the uncle who uses the sword, what's going on?"
   "After what happened yesterday, I decided to find a bodyguard," Shi Lai raised her voice and slowly adjusted her mood, "It will keep me from being chased and killed in the streets."
   "He can make Seychelles jealous. Is he from an unknown person, I guess he is also from the Emerald City, a subordinate of Zhan En?"
   Thales unconsciously estimated Jenn's strength in the Emerald City, and estimated how to protect himself if he made up his mind to eliminate himself...
"Once he was and was still a famous knight in the Emerald City," said Shiley, "but he resigned and retired several years ago. Regardless of what he looks like now, he still has the title and land of the family, and he does not worry about food and clothing. "
   "Since you don't have to worry about food and clothing, then there's no need to be a mercenary for a young lady who doesn't come home often?"
   "Unfortunately, Cassien owes me a favor."
   "What kind of favor?"
   "Are you going to marry me?"
   "Oh, that's it—what?" Thales, who was immersed in complicated emotions, was surprised.
   When he looked up, he suddenly found the young lady's face reappearing by the window with a smile on her face.
   "Since you're not going to marry me," Sheila smiled with a hint of sarcasm, it should be seen that he was distracted, "Then why are you asking about my debts?"
   "You- when I didn't say it." Thales said angrily.
   Damn.
   He was even thinking about how to use the other party and betray the other party, but why is this little girl just like this...
"Don't worry, before my mother died, I once left a will to Jenn. As the daughter of Kevin Dill, I can inherit it. Even if it's only my mother's dowry... Well, I'm richer than you anyway." When Xi Lai said this, he held his chin and looked up at the sky, shaking his head.
   "Do you want to marry me?"
   "What? You little—" Sheila was stunned, then looked annoyed
   But she reacted within a second and sneered:
   "Oh, I see, not bad, Thales Jinxing, not bad, good counterattack."
   "Yeah, since you're not going to marry me," Thales raised the corners of his mouth, sarcastically, "Why are you showing off your dowry in front of me?"
  The two old rivals looked at each other, one sneered and the other disdain, like comparing swords in the air, refusing to give in to each other.
   But only Thales knew that his heart was extremely heavy.
  The carriage is moving, and the flow of people is increasing.
   "You know the news this morning, right? Your local tour guide..." Sheila hesitated.
   "Of course, the Caquere police officer was beheaded and publicly displayed, and another life was killed in politics," Thales sighed deeply, thinking deeply, "and then there are rumors that I did it."
   "That's right, I have a bad premonition, we should get nervous and act," Xilai said with a rare worry, "The big wave in Emerald City is coming, and the high tide is imminent, and no one can survive alone."
"Yes, I think so too, and I'm trying to turn the tide," Thales shook his head, irritable and just wanted to blame others, "but for a certain big man, I don't know, maybe he still wants to surf against the odds. Tide, maybe?"
   "You mean my brother?" Hillary rolled her eyes, "Well, what happened to you and Jenn this morning?"
   "Ask him to go, you are his good sister."
   "Yes, I asked, and he asked me to ask you!" Sheila sarcastically said, "The words are even more vicious than yours: 'Ask him, you are his little girlfriend anyway?'"
   "What? Wow, Jenn is like this, ahem..."
   Thales couldn't help but want to laugh. Halfway through his expression, he quickly restrained himself and said sternly, "Uh, it's so vicious."
   Xilai's eyes sharpened:
   "I saw you snickering."
   "I, I don't."
   "Are you proud?"
   "No!"
boom!
   Sheila slapped the carriage with a slap, causing Thales outside the window to be shocked!
   "What the did you and him say this morning?" Sheila paused for each word, her eyes gloomy.
"I--"
   "If you pretend to be stupid again, my mother swears, no matter how many people around me are watching, I will definitely—"
  The familiar sentence pattern made Thales tremble, and he had a bad premonition!
   "Because of what happened yesterday, Jenn saw through my identity."
   Without waiting for the other party's threat to finish, Thales did not attack himself, he was concise and straight to the point:
   "We couldn't talk and broke up, so from now on, we'll go our separate ways and use our abilities, that's it."
   Sheila was stunned.
   Huh - Thales let out a sigh of relief, well, at least she didn't get "aphrodisiac" again.
   But he miraculously found that after such an interruption, his mood improved a lot.
   "Bullshit," Hilay said, looking at the dark corner of the carriage, "It's not about yesterday at all."
   "I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it..."
   "It's everything!"
   Thales was stunned.
  I saw Xi Lai turn her head with a serious expression:
   "You and him, since you came to the Emerald City, no, maybe since you were born, you have distrusted each other in everything. You entered the chessboard as rivals, and naturally you can only decide the winner before going out."
   She thumped the carriage angrily:
   "Damn, I should have understood, it's only a matter of time before you talk about breaking up - I overestimated you, whether it's Jenn's vision or your measure."
Forehead……
   Thales had a weird expression, and he didn't know whether to echo the former or seriously protest the latter.
   "It makes sense," the prince determined to skip the topic, "so, now the Emerald City is in danger, but there's nothing we can do..."
   "Forget it, turn the page!" Shi Lai shook his head and interrupted him resolutely, "Now, tell me, Thales Brightstar, do you still want to complete the mission in the Emerald City?"
   Translation?
   Thales looked at her suspiciously.
   The other party's eyes were burning, half expecting, half... threatening.
   "Not in His Majesty's way, not in rivers of blood, dead and wounded, but in your way," Ciel said decisively, and continued to ask, "Our way."
   Our way?
   Thales sighed.
   Fortunately, the other party can't read minds, otherwise I was still thinking about how to use her to threaten to break the game...
   "Xile, now it's not a question of whether I want to or not," Thales shook his head in denial, "Jane and I have already had a complete showdown. He has seen through my disguise, so he won't back down or trust me anymore."
   Ha, as if he believed me.
"But I'm not asking him, I'm asking you," Xilai said with serious eyes, "please, Thales, Xiaohuahua is short-sighted and ignorant, but you are the second prince and Duke of Star Lake, you should be more knowledgeable than him. Does it matter?"
   Little flowers?
   Thales looked strange, but he immediately reacted: How does this make him answer?
Oops.
  How do you feel that you have fallen into this little girl's trap again?
"Wait, I played this trick a long time ago... You shouldn't have said or planned to say the same thing to Jen just now," Thales looked suspicious, "like 'please, Jen, little brat' He is narrow and ignorant, but you are the Emerald City Lord and the Duke of the South Bank, you should be more rational than him, right?"
   Xilai's expression froze.
   "Of course not!" She was righteous, her face full of injustice, "You take me for someone!"
   Yes, she didn't say "little kid" again.
   Thales was a little uncomfortable with her righteous gaze, he avoided the other party's gaze:
"No, you don't understand, your brother is the Emerald City Lord, the one who takes the initiative. If he doesn't 'die by the enemy' and goes all the way to the dark, then it's useless for others to worry. Catastrophe is destined, the general trend, all we can do is to stop the loss and clean up the mess.

"But the one who doesn't understand is you," Xilai denied, "Is the Emerald City not saved? Don't forget, Your Majesty has given you the power of discretion and discretion, accept it, and make good use of it! Even if it is fate, even if The trend!"
  Discretionary, impromptu decision...
  Thiers thought of Kessel V, and his shoulders became heavier.
  How to decide? How to decide?
   Thales shook his head and said, "Don't be naive, Hillary, in my experience, politics cannot be reversed with just one or two slogans..."
   "Then only half a sentence."
   Thales's words were stagnant.
  I saw Xi Lai take a deep breath, stick his face out of the car window, and look at him very seriously:
   "Do you know the famous family language of your Jinxing royal family?"
"Yes?"
   "Someone told me: It's never the second half of the sentence that really matters."
   Thales was startled when he heard the words.
   The second half of the sentence? That is……
"So, Thales, don't give up, try again, 'discretion' and 'immediate decision'," Sheila stared at him, leaving him nowhere to run. It is valuable, and only when the general trend is going, it is meaningful to adapt to the situation.

   Thales frowned and looked at Shi Lai.
   "Don't forget, you are the famous North Star, a young hero who has dueled with King Nuen or King Chaman, and you can turn the tide in the savage and dangerous Exeter!"
   Xilai's eyes were firm.
  Please.
  Don’t just listen to official propaganda.
   Thales sighed:
   "First of all, I've never had a duel with them. On the contrary, most of the time in the Northland, I was by the two unscrupulous and cried, beaten, and played around..."
   "Like yesterday?"
   Thales raised his eyes and found that Xilai had a smile at the corner of his mouth and his eyes were interesting.
   At that moment, he suddenly realized that the eldest lady in front of him was serious.
   She wouldn't allow herself to say no.
   "Yes," Thales couldn't help but laugh, he shook his head helplessly, "It's like yesterday."
   The two smiled at each other.
   The speed of the team's progress gradually slowed down.
The venue of the    election meeting, or in other words, the cage-like competition venue, appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
   "Okay, listen to you, try again, I'll go and talk to Jenn again," Thales put away his smile, "but I declare in advance, this is the last time, once he..."
   "Thank you, Thales," Xile's eyes lit up, and he interrupted him quickly, grateful while avoiding the other party's remorse conditions, "As for Jenn and the Emerald City, leave it to me."
   For some reason, Thales seemed to have returned to the past, but it was not because of Lausanne II's ability, nor because of the spirit bone Jacques' trick.
   "To you?" Thales couldn't help laughing, "Who do you think you are?"
   Sheila laughed too.
   "I'm Cecilia Kelvindir," she said, smiling introspectively and brightly, "Savior of the Emerald City."
   Thales trembled slightly.
   At that moment, he didn't look like he was in the misty, turbulent Emerald City, but it was more like the Longxiao City that was in crisis and the situation was over.
   He looked at Shi Lai, who was dazzling in front of him, as if he saw another self.
   Thales was silent for a while.
   "No, you're not."
   Xilai's eyes moved.
   "Cecilia Kevin Deere, she is just a lady with political marriage significance, even if there is no one in the west of the blood gate fortress," Thales sighed, "But you, you are Shi Lai."
   Xilai was startled.
   Thales looked at the setting sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and said with emotion:
   "Unexpected great magician - Shirai Wyana."
  Xile's expression changed: "What's this name?"
   "How do I know, you took it!"
   But Thales soon knew that he was too happy.
  Because after they arrived at the venue and saw Lord Duke Jann with a scowling face (because Thales and Shi Lai were together), Miss Cecilia's first sentence made her brother's color change.
   "Listen to Zhan, I know that you have turned the Emerald City into a now, so, what the little brat and I are going to say next, you should listen carefully, don't interrupt, don't refute, don't leave..."
   In front of everyone, Xi Lai, who was dressed up, jumped up in a lively manner and grabbed his brother's arm, just like every cute little sister in the world's ideals, spit out the most touching words in the gentlest voice:
"And if you dare to show the old lady's face again, even if it's only a little bit, I swear, no matter how many people are watching, I will immediately take off this dress, just carry a three-color iris badge, and rush into the election. The center of the venue will be…

   Under the unbelievably frightened gazes of Thales and Jenn, Shi Lai had a rare smile that was sweet and gentle:
   "Dancing."
