However, the male protagonist loves the villain

Chapter 60

In the past six months, another thing happened, that is, Pei Libin and Aunt Tao finally got divorced.

In the face of this tool-like wife, Pei Libin's face is really not good-looking.Fortunately, unlike her previous life, Aunt Tao has secretly opened her own cake shop at this time.A woman with a career always has her own confidence.

And Tao Xiaoning lost his father again, so he was a little hit, but fortunately, he was accompanied by the primary school principal.

Huo Xiuxun also silently accompanied Pei Lin.

In fact, he also wanted to say something consoling. He remembered that he used to have this kind of ability, everywhere he went, he was high-sounding, his words and deeds were appropriate.

But in the past few years, soaking in the warm water like honey has made him come back to life more and more.

Pei Lin: "I'm fine. After all, Ning Ning is suffering now. From my perspective, it's the parents getting back together."

"At most, I feel a little awkward, and it's a bit difficult to face Ningning and Aunt Tao for the time being, but it's okay, everything will be fine in time."

It's going to be all right, isn't it?But later, you never saw their mother and daughter again.

Huo Xiuxun knew that for the 28-year-old Pei Lin who had seen the world, it might indeed be nothing to be sad if such a thing happened again.But he still remembers when Pei Lin was 14 years old and sat alone on the steps where the wisteria flowers were falling in the rain and did not want to go home, and the day Ning Ning transferred to another school and left when the seat was empty, there would be a flash of light on his seemingly expressionless face Gone sadly.

At that time, he had been standing in the corridor not far away, watching him.

Back then, if he was on that rainy step, he would have had the courage to walk over and talk to him.

But there is no such "if".At that time, he was a depraved bad boy, and Pei Lin looked down on him.That kind of deliberate ignorance made him extremely sensitive, coupled with poverty and low self-esteem, how dare he approach him.

……

In the second half of that year, Huo Xiuxun's body finally gradually recovered.

People have also regained a certain degree of slickness.With Pei Libin's unfriendly expression on his face, he and Chu Zhenhuai and Zhao Xinglu went to Pei Lin's house to play when they had nothing to do, trying to please Tang Caiping, who favored him, as if he had entered the house and became a member of the family.On the other side, they dragged Pei Lin to Aunt Tao's newly opened cake shop to buy and buy. From time to time, they would bring Ning Ning and her primary school principal along on dates, and the four of them went to have a meal together or sneaked to the next city to see concert.

What people are good at is different from person to person.

The more Pei Lin and Huo Xiuxun get along with each other, the more certain they are about the fact that if the people who are together can complement each other on a large scale in such matters, then life will really be easier and save a lot of effort.

The family relationship he was not good at handling, and the people he didn't know how to deal with, were nothing to Huo Xiuxun.But Huo Xiuxun's passive love relationship, which was stretched so hard, he found it easy, and it was over.

Of course, at present, they cannot be counted as "together" people.

Because he has been chasing others for more than half a year, so far there has been no certain progress.Not only Xiao Q didn't understand, even Ning Ning despised him as useless, hated that iron could not make steel, and began to feed him fishing-type and straight-ball-type romance novels on a daily basis.

He himself was quite calm.

If there is no progress, there is no progress. At best, isn’t it that someone is too comfortable to be served, and can’t get up when lying down, desperately trying to find a way to procrastinate, and want to lie down for a while longer, and enjoy the unprecedented pampering more?

Xiao Q still feels that he is at a disadvantage, but Pei Lin doesn't think so.

First of all, Mr. Xiao Qi and the others are right in what they said before, when they really like someone, they really don't care so much.Pet is over, why bother so much?Not to mention that through the various dating arrangements and the pursuit process of needing to take care of people and guessing people's wishes in the past six months, Pei Lin has indeed grown up, and he has gained a lot of experience and insights in real terms.

So suffer, what is the disadvantage?He learned what seth didn't, he improved and seth kept lying flat.

Isn't this the ideal situation?

In this way, the justice side has a greater chance of winning. Is there a problem?

Soon, Pei Lin's birthday will be approaching.

For many years, he always received a postcard from afar in the mailbox at his door around his birthday.The postmarks are different each time, from various parts of the world, and the content is always blank.

Until now, Pei Lin has never asked Huo Xiuxun about this matter.

Huo Xiuxun secretly thought, maybe he didn't care, or he didn't notice at all. After all, Professor Pei had so many great colleagues and friends who worked with him from all over the world, so he must have received many greetings on birthdays and festivals all year round.

...Of course, even if he asked him, he would have to wait a long, long time before admitting it.

Zhao Xinglu: "Hey, don't be in a daze, think about it for me, what will I send Brother Lin this year?"

Chu Zhenhuai: "You are at the back of the row, first help me refer to what pattern the birthday cake will use this year. Isn't this little tiger cute?"

Every year in this world, Chu Zhenhuai is responsible for preparing Pei Lin's birthday cake, and Zhao Xinglu will give gifts.Baseball caps, jerseys, sneakers, and other things commonly used by boys.

And Huo Xiuxun, like Zhao Xinglu, would not choose to "buy" gifts directly.First of all, Pei Lin doesn't lack anything. Second, Seth's vision is really high. If you don't buy it, you have to buy it. If you want to buy it, you have to buy it.

It must be unique, specially used to hunt Professor Pei...Millions of out-of-print antique books, special collections, and manuscripts written by world-renowned suspense novelists.

But right now he really doesn't have that much money, so for the time being, he "makes" every year's birthday present.

For example, Pei Lin likes summer leaves and autumn fruits, and leaves foxes, rabbits and bears that he can't make.For example, he explored the new cave behind the creek on the mountain, and took a delicious bento made by himself to go on an outing.

Another year, he set off fireworks for him in Frostfall World.

Of course, he will stop when enough is enough.Restrain yourself not to make everything too exquisite and grand.Never let him know how much he likes him.

"Brother Xun, what are you going to give this time?"

Huo Xiuxun: "Flower seeds."

"what?"

"He said last time that Ningshan lantern plums are beautiful, and I'm going to Ningshan to find them for him. Are you two free next weekend? Let's go together?"

……

Because of Huo Xiuxun's illness for more than half a year, the school could only register Pei Lin to participate in this year's science and technology competition.

Pei Lin didn't take it seriously in the competition for junior high school students, and helped the school win the second prize in China, almost earning face and preparing to triumph.

Unexpectedly, the No.1 child immigrated with his family shortly after finishing the competition, which caused Pei Lin, who won the second prize, to be registered by the organizing committee for the international competition.

So, two weeks before his birthday, Professor Pei was forced to go abroad to compete.

On the weekend after he went abroad, early in the morning, Huo Xiuxun, Chu Zhenhuai and Zhao Xinglu also gathered at the train station and set off early.The well-known and steep Ningshan Mountain is an hour's drive away. The unique Ningshan plum on the mountain will bloom small yellow flowers like lanterns. It is very cute, but it will be cultivated and popularized as ornamental flowers more than ten years later.

In this season right now, the lantern plums are bearing fruit.

Time to harvest seeds.

Zhao Xinglu was excited all the way, carrying a huge mountaineering bag foolishly: "No problem, leave it to me, I will help you pack it, as much as you have!"

Chu Zhenhuai: "Fool, it's not like going up the mountain to buy rice."

To say that Zhao Xinglu is stupid is really stupid.

It took less than an hour to go up the mountain and let go three times in a row. It's better to bring a dog.

Chu Zhenhuai: "I lost it again, so I knew I couldn't let that idiot run away!"

Fortunately, although the mountain roads in Ningshan are steep, there are only a few climbing trails. Soon they saw Zhao Xinglu's conspicuous orange-red body on the opposite mountain road.However, the man was still deaf, desperately calling him, but he turned a deaf ear, trying to call him that there was no signal on the mountain.

Chu Zhenhuai: "Forget it, anyway, it's in his direction, walk for a few minutes and go back to the gate directly, I can't lose it."

"But really, how can this person be so stupid? Although he is cute most of the time, has his mother taken him to the hospital for examination?"

Huo Xiuxun raised his head and looked at the sky: "The weather is not good today, and it might rain in a while. If you don't mind, let's leave him to find the seeds first. Anyway, Zhao Xinglu is alone at the gate eating roasted sweet potatoes and Grandpa Tian , and we can chat all morning."

"it is good."

Lantern plums in late autumn have only fruit but no flowers, and the plants are not tall. It is said that it is difficult to find if it is hidden in layers of mountains and forests.

Fortunately, they were lucky today. After walking two hills, they found a full-bodied lantern plum. Their pockets and trouser pockets were full of large seeds.

On the way back, the sun also came out through the stratus clouds.

The delicacy of the whole Ningshan suddenly brightened, and Huo Xiuxun seemed to be in a good mood. This was the first time Chu Zhenhuai heard him humming.

It was still a melody he was familiar with, so Chu Zhenhuai hummed along.Passing by the cliff on the top of the mountain with low chains, under the bright sun, a large sea of ​​tumbling clouds is gathering on the edge of the cliff.

Chu Zhenhuai ran over happily: "Wow, this cloud is so beautiful, so close! It looks so fluffy and soft that people want to step on it. Stupid Zhao Xinglu, he can run around so he didn't see this!"

"Hey, Huo Xiuxun, do you have your camera?"

"Huo Xiuxun?"

At that moment, the sun shone on Huo Xiuxun's face, making his magnificent amber eyes golden.He seemed to be distracted for a while: "Sorry."

"Also, thank you."

"In the past few years, I am grateful that you did not dislike me and were willing to be friends with me. These days... I will never forget it."

"Chu Zhenhuai, I've actually been thinking about it all the time."

"It would be great if we could be real friends."

Everything was too sudden, caught off guard.

At the moment when his feet were empty, Chu Zhenhuai woke up like a dream—the tune he hummed with Huo Xiuxun just now was actually an ancient local folk song in Hawaii.

……

"Grass leaf rings, cat climbing frames in castles, fairy tree holes, dried flowers that you want to keep forever. You two are uncompromising, one-in-a-million, typical romantics, right?"

On a certain winter evening, Chu Zhenhuai said this on the balcony of Huo Xiuxun's house.

Perhaps in the hot Hawaii of the United States, in such a cultural environment that is generally precocious, with beaches and coconut islands, and unrestrained and enthusiastic, it is not very strange for a 12-year-old mature child to say such a joke to a friend.

But in China, it is too abrupt, and it is completely a dialogue mode between adults and adults.

Pei Lin also always felt that Chu Zhenhuai was strange: "Hey, seth, let me ask you, was Chu Zhenhuai such a god-man when you followed those bad guys at school?"

Today, based on Xiao Q's instilled theory of "this world is a book" in his world view, Professor Pei often complains that Chu Zhenhuai is somewhat higher than the cognitive level of the "aboriginal people in the book", as if he has "self-awareness". Same.

Regarding this, Huo Xiuxun just smiled and perfunctory.

How should he answer?Among the bad boys in No. [-] Middle School back then, there was no such person as "Chu Zhenhuai".

He was in the next few reincarnations. He sneaked into this world quietly, and subtly integrated into the school. From occasionally brushing his face to gradually becoming a familiar passerby, even he was deceived in the end.

Master.

Now, he has identified the "intruder".

Alvin Young, whose name does not exist in any system records, but he did come in.

He is a Chinese-English mixed-blood genius boy living in Hawaii. Pei Lin was attacked in that sea area just to join him to go to the Atlantic base to crack the Philae Temple system.

"……it hurts."

The icy wind was bitingly cold.

It seemed to be raining, and the rain hit my face.Huo Xiuxun had difficulty breathing, and his eyes seemed to be covered with something sticky.

is blood……

In the severe pain, he tried his best to regain his sobriety. Of course, this is not what Xiao Q called "the world in the book", it was not from the beginning to the end.

This is an imaginary world that should belong only to Seth.

It was he who locked himself in the room, where he exiled himself for eternity.But there is always such a group of annoying people who keep trying to invade his territory again and again, gradually making his originally perfect world full of holes and difficult to deal with.

In the end, they succeeded in destroying the world to the brink of collapse, and he, the "world master", was trapped in it, and was forced to fall into reincarnation again and again like now, unable to escape.

About ten meters below the cliff, there is a protruding stone platform.

Two people fell here together, at the height of four or five floors, and both of them broke their bones much better.

Chu Zhenhuai fell even worse, coughing up blood all the time, probably because he poked a lung tube, and he was only short of breath.

But even so, the man still struggled to crawl towards him, grabbed Huo Xiuxun's wrist with his blood-stained hands, and moved towards the edge of the cliff with his last strength.

"……open."

Huo Xiuxun quickly realized what this man wanted to do. Chu Zhenhuai was too injured to kill him, so he planned to climb to the edge of the cliff, turn down, and take him down to die together.

Once he "died", the world would collapse.

In reality, Chu Zhenhuai, that is, Alvin Yang, will most likely be forced to retreat due to the strong rejection recorded by the Philae Temple system.And he may also wake up in reality, or he may enter the next reincarnation again under the barely supported by the crumbling world.

But he can't go.

Because he doesn't know, will there be Pei Lin in the next reincarnation?

Such a long time, the distance that we can never meet again.It was in the midst of infinite despair that he reaped the once-in-a-lifetime luck.I was fortunate enough to meet Professor Pei who was unique, warm, and real, who would treat him well, make him laugh, and pamper him unconditionally.

He doesn't believe he will always be lucky.

Huo Xiuxun's eyes were scarlet, and his voice was hoarse and cruel.

"Let go... let go!"

"Otherwise I'll kill you. My current life... I finally... just..."

It's so hard to be so happy, please, let me go, let us go.

Chu Zhenhuai turned a deaf ear to the humble begging.

His side was getting closer to the cliff, Huo Xiuxun hated himself.

The moment he pushed him, the sun shone on Chu Zhenhuai's stunned face.At that moment, he looked like an ordinary teenager. They were friends on the basketball team. They laughed and fought together and had good memories for several years.

Just for a second or two of slight hesitation, Chu Zhenhuai dragged him off the cliff with his backhand without hesitation.

He wanted to let this person go, but this person didn't want to let him go.

Hahaha……

Also, in the sea view villa in Hawaii, the family is harmonious, and the young genius who has nothing in the wind and the wind will understand how crazy the person with nothing can be in order to protect a little bit of hard-won, fragile and tiny happiness.

He will not allow the world to restart, and will never allow the Temple of Philae to collapse since then.

Because he managed to see a little trace of happiness, and he still wants to know more.Will Professor Pei really confess to him, what will happen if the two of them are admitted to university together, if they fail the civil service exam, they will not take the exam, anyway, they don't have much money, and in the future he will become an entrepreneur to earn money to support his family and him.

He always had a lot of fantasies, so he was always scared.

Fear that this world will suddenly end one day.

What he had, wanted, and cherished all disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Therefore, he took advantage of half a year's illness to plan little by little, secretly modified the program, and made a plan to completely eliminate the dangerous elements while Pei Lin was away on the mountain. Everything should have gone smoothly, but because of a second or two of emotion, he fell short. .

If he had known earlier, he should have killed this man earlier.

There's no need to hide it from Pei Lin, he thinks Pei Lin can understand.

He can understand... right?

Those people always say in private that Seth is a dangerous chameleon.In the past, Huo Xiuxun didn't think so, but later, he was the little green-skinned dinosaur who loves to coquettish and cry, and the tsundere ghost that people spoiled and refused to admit was him, and at this moment, it was still the person who grabbed Chu Zhenhuai's neck with all his strength. he.

He no longer has any hesitation, and only has a dark and stern look in his eyes.
