Throne Steps

Chapter 159 Subtle or Embarrassing

Since getting acquainted with Li Chen, Saenz has never had the experience of not seeing each other for eight months.

Originally in Pesa, the two basically looked down and saw each other.When he graduates and Li Chen fakes his death, he doesn't need to worry about it.Because in most cases, before he could remember that it seemed like it had been a long time, the housekeeper had already come to announce "Lichen is here".

Except for the time when the kid rushed into the "Lone Wolf" and lost contact, Saenz never thought that he might not see Li Chen.

When peeking into his own heart under the tree of life, Saenz even took the appearance of Li Chen as the standard for judging his own emotions.In the bottom of his heart, he never thought that the black swan would not come, but he subconsciously postponed the time of the other party's arrival, and then postponed it.It's like a delicacy that you can't bear to taste, and you have to wait until the end before you start to enjoy it to the fullest and carefully.

However, the fact is that Li Chen is sharper, calmer and decisive than he imagined.

He quietly noticed Saenz's thoughts, and then walked away silently.Li Chen did not throw away the "little tail" that Saenz placed behind him, did not interrupt his official contacts, and continued to plan and take further actions for Saenz.He just stopped preparing extra and amusing little gifts for Saenz, no longer interspersed code words that only the two of them knew in the letter, no longer reluctantly solved some insignificant troubles for Saenz in advance, and no longer spontaneously He leaned in front of Saenz and "spoofed and cheated".

Li Chen didn't stay away, he just took a step back, trying to eliminate the ambiguity caused by being too close.

Li Chen is not cold-hearted, he can be happy, sad, angry, and afraid, but at the same time he is too rational.Reason enables him to restrain and control his emotions quickly, and solve everything that shakes his mood.If he has a premonition that there will be no good things at the end, or if he can't foresee the end, he will stop himself from moving forward on this road.

When Saenz asked him: You haven't seen me for eight months, what's in my interest?

He can answer: I don't see you, not because there will be benefits if I don't see you, but because there will be no benefits if I see you.

He's just too sensible.Saenz thought it was a harmless thing before, but now he finds it very tricky.Because he is not only rational, but also smooth and stubborn, like a copper pea.Saenz can almost be sure that if he wants to force Li Chen, the other party will still compromise, because in the eyes of the other party, it is no different from coaxing a child.Li Chen's previous life was too distorted, Saenz could not expect him to have any lofty thoughts.

But Saenz didn't want to get caught up in that twisted relationship.

Saenz didn't even think about the future, he just had a vague premonition.But the relationship and emotions at this stage haven't given him enough courage to push through the thorns and look at that premonition carefully.Saenz knows that he alone is not enough.

His own background is difficult to allow, Li Chen's ultimate goal is difficult to allow, even Li Chen himself does not want to allow, Saenz has nowhere to put the emotions he enlightened from the tree of life.

Well, if Li Chen wants to keep his distance, let him keep his distance.Saenz told himself this way: If this continues, my thoughts will gradually fade away, and everyone will be happy; if this continues, my thoughts will become thicker day by day...

He is selfish and asks no forgiveness, everyone is selfish.If he locks on Li Chen, he will definitely pull him into the trap.

Now, let this little prey wander around the mouth of the trap for the time being.

It's also amusing to watch him startle.

Li Chen was indeed a little surprised.

Saenz's sentence "I won't see you in August" at night, caught the alarm in Li Chen's heart and went off crazily.But when he replied nonchalantly and racked his brains to think about the future, Saenz let him go lightly.

What is this idea?Threatening from time to time, and then cleaning up at the end?

Until he went to Pesa Island, walked into his former alma mater, and sat under the performance stage, Li Chen still couldn't help thinking about these things.

The performance of the theme songs over the years was completed, the lights were dimmed, and the furnace performance began.

In the dimness and silence, the symphony orchestra in the orchestra pit played majestic music, and the curtain opened on the stage.In the light and shadow, the waves are magnificent, and a fisherman is driving his small fishing boat on the sea.The sails on the mast were tattered, and the oil lamps in the boathouse flickered on and off.The fisherman hurriedly put away his fishing net and went home to shelter from the wind, but he didn't expect that a living thing had hit into the net, which was very heavy.

In the wind and rain, the fisherman desperately saw the creatures in the net.Finally, with his last yank, a beautiful golden fish jumped out of the water with the fishing net!

The story of the fisherman and the goldfish begins here.

Of course, this goldfish is played by a human.A blonde girl stood above the sea waves in a white orange silk dress. Layers of gauze, lace and openwork embroidery formed her sleeves and skirt.These are her fins and her tail. When the light comes, she shines golden; when the shadow covers her, she becomes dark red.

Looking at this scene, Li Chen somehow remembered what happened two years ago.

At this time two years ago, the one who sang and danced on the stage was a girl from the branch of the color of aquamarine - Nuo Sang.

Nuo Sang represents a kind of temptation, and also represents the beginning of something.What was tested was Saenz's attitude towards marriage, and what started was Saenz's marriage.Although it was learned afterwards that this was nothing more than the incident caused by Belen Meloyer, the only seedling of Sea Blue, it is undeniable that this gave a signal to all "insiders"—the object of Saenz, Can look up.

Logically speaking, Li Chen should still pay attention to this matter.

It's just that the year before last and last year, all kinds of things were mixed together, and Li Chen didn't have time to get distracted.Now is the time to be distracted, and the state of Saenz... makes Li Chen not dare to ask for the time being.

Taking advantage of the light from the stage, Li Chen glanced at Saenz calmly.

Saenz seemed to be immersed in the exquisite and gorgeous stage. Although his expression did not change, Li Chen seemed to see his joy.Thinking about it, too, Saenz has been busy all year, and finally escaped for a few days, so of course he should relax.

However, it's not that Li Chen is shameless, but just thinking about the delicate relationship between the two of them, he can't help but think a little more.

The two of them went out alone, spent a few nights, and watched such a performance in the dark—I didn’t think it before, but now that I think about it, it’s too much like a date!

...so dull.

Li Chen, who was regarded as very sharp by Saenz and everyone, still felt that he was too dull.He can tolerate that he does not foresee a certain situation, but he cannot bear that he ignores a situation that has already happened. "Insensitivity" can be an appearance for a think tank, but it must not be the truth.

Li Chen smiled wryly, it's useless to think so much now, let's watch the show first.Like this person next to you, relax for two hours first.

"concentrate."

As if sensing Li Chen's secret annoyance, Saenz turned his head and reminded him in a low voice.Against the backdrop of the symphony in the orchestra pit, his voice sounded like a cello, deep and elegant.

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the melting pot performance was over. The audience who left the show walked on the brightly lit promenade, and there were promotional posters of the melting pot performance on both sides.Because many people are still queuing for the album signed by the leading actors, the flow of people is not very crowded yet.

Li Chen followed Saenz and walked outside the school silently, still distracted, when he was suddenly asked by the leader.

"What were you thinking just now?"

Li Chen came back to his senses: "Just now?"

"While watching the show, your mind was distracted." Saenz glanced at him, without repeating how he saw "mind-distracted", he asked directly, "What are you thinking?"

Control the world and control what I think?Li Chen shrugged: "Nothing."

"You're looking at me." Saenz said firmly, "You're thinking about something related to me, can't I know?"

It wasn't the first time that Saenz noticed that Li Chen was paying attention to him, but it was the first time that he was so aggressive.Li Chen sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I was just wondering... next time, should someone else accompany you to the performance."

Saenz stopped.

Li Chen had to stop and turned to look at him.

Saenz and Li Chen looked at each other with a calm expression and a calm tone: "Then you really think too much."

Li Chen heard the meaning behind his words, and stopped pretending to be cowardly, and said with a soft smile: "Who can say what will happen in the future?"

Saenz didn't know which layer he thought of, and then showed a meaningful smile: "You are right, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Everyone has something to say, and they all know each other a little bit, but they don't expose it.Li Chen avoided talking about it because he was afraid of the troubles after being exposed; Saenz planned to sort out these troubles first, and then talk about the future.

The two of them were silent again, walked out of the campus under the moonlight, crossed the street, and returned to the hotel.As usual, Li Chen went to order Saenz a hot drink before going to bed and make the bed. On this point, Saenz also had to admire his determination.

His Highness took the hot drink brought by the female boss, looked at the back of Li Chen making his bed, and asked, "Where are you going after?"

The movements in Li Chen's hands paused, and before he could answer, he heard Saenz say, "Come with me to Oluval."

Oloire County, in the northwest of the central part of Retia, is the place where Li Chen first met the fur bear and other mercenaries, and also discussed with the rock eagle to carve up the lone wolf.Danlu's name was also taken there.

When Li Chen heard that Saenz had no intention of knowing where he originally wanted to go, he silently swallowed the phrase "not on the way".But he didn't really want to continue this "dating" state, so he could only pray that it would be business-like: "What are we... going to do?"

"Complete a deal." Saenz's tone was light, but the content was very important. "The wedding gift I ordered for my elder brother has arrived, and I'm going to get it."

Li Chen turned to look at him: "I don't seem to be able to help much."

In the past, if he was not wanted, he would pester him; now that he is called, he is reluctant.Saenz understood that this guy really wanted to keep his distance.However, resistance is not so easy.

"Who says you can't help?" Saenz finished his hot drink and put the cup on the table, "Didn't you help give my elder brother a pre-wedding 'surprise'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen had no choice but to go back silently and continue making the bed.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day, let's have a short pain!
