He and It

Giant: *Dare to be angry but dare not speak, immediately gathered together and spoke ill of human beings*

Xie Ning: *After being irritable for a long time, I decided to go out and relax* Forget it, I want to leave this suffocating environment for a while!

It was still Xie Ning: *walked out of the room and happened to hear the giant talking bad things about him. He rolled his eyes in anger and fainted* Gah!

Chapter 153 The Pharisaic Snake (19)

Echidna was holding the little gadget and seemed to be looking it up and down, while Xanthippe curled her eyes with joy. It was easy to see that she was feeling flattered by the devil's acceptance.

Xie Ning stared at Echidna. He couldn't tell what they were saying from the changing mouth shapes and fragmentary words. He could only watch every move of the master of the underground palace without blinking.

The snake demon lurked in the darkness, with a pair of golden eyes, glancing at the stone sculpture again and again. Finally, he spit out the snake letter and grabbed Xanthippe's work into the palm of his hand.

Xie Ning stood up straight and slowly released her hand holding the wall. He didn't move for a long time, and all five fingers had wet watermarks on it. When he retracted his hand, he made a very weak pulling sound.

He looked at it for a while, still said nothing, turned around and left.

The red light of the lights burned the darkness of the underground palace, and among the jumping shadows, Xie Ning walked quickly and quietly. He was already thin and silent, and no one noticed his passing figure along the way.

He walked quietly against the wall for a long time before returning to the bedroom where he and Echidna were. Then, without stopping, he came to the inner room where the snake demon placed the mirror.

Xie Ning looked around, smoothed his robe, sat on the ground, picked up a handful of gold coins, and threw one on the mirror.

The sound of gold coins interlacing with the mirror was clear and sweet. It bounced a few times and then rolled down with a clanking clang. Without Echidna's magical power, the mirror would not respond to Xie Ning's request for payment, and still faced him with pure blackness.

Xie Ning shrugged and poured out all the gold in his hand with an expressionless expression.

He didn't know what to say.

"...I don't know what to say." Xie Ning cleared her throat and muttered to herself into the empty darkness, "My relationship with him...well, he and I have nothing to do with each other."

Yes, this was the main reason why he didn't have the strength to move forward.

He and Echidna appeared to be very close, but in fact, their relationship was extremely fragile. Because he was afraid of the destined separation, he did not make any promises to Echidna. Apart from the title of "priest", Echidna also did not define his identity.

Perhaps here, the priests should concentrate on serving God? In any case, the two of them had tacit thoughts about their relationship, and lived every day as if there was no tomorrow.

Echidna told him her love for him many times, but Xie Ning never responded to him once. Deep down in his heart, he believed in the theory of "spirituality in words". The words he spoke were like a spell, binding the speaker and the listener respectively. If he responded to Echidna's love words, the rope would be entangled for a lifetime. It will emerge from fate and be firmly tied into a circle with no beginning or end, tying the little fingertips of him and the devil.

Because of this, Xie Ning had such self-awareness - he did not go up and obstruct Echidna's qualification to accept offerings from others.

Or maybe this would be better?

He had to leave sooner or later, and before his hope was cut off, he swore that he would find a way and use all means to get home. He was the one who couldn't make promises. Maybe, just transfer the commitment to Xanthippe...

...No, no! I can not do it.

Xie Ning closed his eyes tightly, his heart felt bitter and sour, and the taste of jealousy flowed everywhere. He didn't want to admit it, but when Echidena took over the statue, in addition to the selfishness caused by love, he also hallucinated too many moments of being inferior to others.

Failure, elimination, second place, "You are good, but you are not the best, so we can't choose you" "You are good, but this person is better than you"...

Is first place that important? Xie Ning herself knows that first place is actually not that important. Being second or third is a great achievement.

But in reality? Because of his sexual orientation that was not known to his family and his major that was subconsciously considered "unworthy of training" by his family, he always held an idea of ​​atonement and secretly argued in his heart: He had already exceeded his family's expectations. If he could not If he makes some astonishing and enviable achievements, then his debts cannot be repaid in any way.

Echidna was often surprised by his anxiety, and Xanthippe was also confused by Xie Ning's persistence. However, Xie Ning could not tell them the detailed reason.

——His second-rate talent gave him an unwilling ambition, and his innate aptitude and background drove him to pursue fame, enough to repay his family's fame. Therefore, his pain is unmistakable, driven from within and without at the same time.

In terms of works alone, Xansi Pei would be better than him, but when Xie Ning thinks that his position will be replaced by others - whether it is an emotional position or a professional position - he suffers endlessly and his tongue becomes bitter. , as if soaked with bile.

I can not do it.

He thought blankly, I like, no, I love Echidna. Maybe human love is shallow and fragile. How can I give him to others for nothing?

I saw his silly expression, watched him carefully peel off the pomegranate for me with his fingers that could crush steel, and watched him smile as I gently touched his smooth snake scales and counted the lines on them. Several times, he mistakenly thought I was asleep, but instead of walking away, he leaned in my ear and mumbled some clumsy love words...

Xie Ning sat alone in front of the magic mirror with tears in her eyes. Echidna's love made his heart ache so much that he had to cover his face and take a deep breath with a choked voice.

On the other side, the snake demon clutched the small stone sculpture and wandered depressedly through the underground palace extending in all directions.

He spread his hands and carefully looked at the details of the sculpture in his palms. He turned his head back and forth to look at it, but he couldn't see what was so mysterious about it.
