“…Is this really all right?”

Standing in front of the emperor’s house, Dai Lan was still a little cautious: “I remember… your wife doesn’t want to have any intersection with your work, so I take the liberty to come here, it’s too disturbing…”

After Dailan said those words openly on the show, she knew that she had “no home” from this moment on.

Whether it was the Tianen Daily, the house she rented, or the place where her parents lived, she could no longer go back. Those “psychic assassins” who were used as consumables by the elf directors must have been eyeing her.

At this time, the emperor invited her.

After all, Dailan is also Bingshui’s friend—because Dailan is relatively young, she has not noticed Bingshui’s special attitude towards her at all. Unlike Xia, who has fully understood Bingshui’s special preferences in emotion and aesthetics, and accepted some of them with some hesitation.

But the emperor is Bing Shui’s father after all. Now that Dai Lan is about to die, he still has to save her.

— especially, he actually knew that ice water was okay. But if left alone, Dai Lan would really have an accident.

If he really left it alone, she would really beat herself up when her daughter came back.

So even though it would attract people’s attention, he still took Dai Lan home directly.

What Dailan said could of course cause a great deal of discussion, and might even directly shake the position of Tianen Group.

But public opinion is wine.

No matter how fierce the public opinion is, it needs enough time to fully ferment. But now Happy Island has fallen into chaos. At this time, no one can control the life and death of such a small person as Dailan. People themselves are already overwhelmed.

Thus, Dai Lan prepared to die for the third time—

The first time was when she decided to speak, the second time when she decided to tell all the secrets and the third time she had become calm. When it is clear that death is approaching, all she can feel is the calmness after facing the great terror between life and death and fighting it. For Dai Lan at this moment, the threat of death can no longer shake her in the slightest.

To put it simply—even if she died immediately, Dai Lan felt that her ordinary life was worth it.

Only one hour has passed since the talk show started. However, she felt that the current self was completely different from the self an hour ago. If she is asked to make this kind of decision now, then she will not be shaken in the slightest… let alone be scared to pee out.

But from Dai Lan’s point of view, the emperor has already exposed his position by saving her just once – when the board of directors’ revenge comes, he will also be unlucky because of his own reasons, and now he wants the emperor to continue to protect him …

And when she considers this matter from the perspective of a wife, although she may not say anything… After all, the emperor is indeed such an upright and tough hero, so she must have expected it rationally. But from an emotional point of view, she would probably blame herself for causing trouble to the emperor.

After all, she is an outsider, and the emperor is her lover.

“Nothing like that.”

After hearing Dai Lan’s worried words, the emperor sighed and opened the door through personal authentication: “My wife is already dead.”

“…Huh?”

Hearing this news suddenly, Dai Lan froze for a moment.

She walked in with some hesitation, hesitated for a while and asked cautiously: “When did this happen?”

As the chief reporter, how could I not know such important information?

“Because it’s nothing new.”

He sighed: “She’s been dead for more than ten years, of course you won’t hear about it. And Bingshui won’t talk to you about such things.”

“……Over ten years?”

She was a little surprised: “But I remember you didn’t say that you and your wife are very affectionate…”

“That’s just human design.”

The emperor sneered coldly: “How can there be a ‘hero’ without his own character design?”

After that, he walked in on his own.

Dai Lan hurriedly followed him in, her **** tail drooping timidly.

There seems to be a breath of ice water in this room

Dai Lan sniffled, and vaguely smelled the scent of ice water’s usual perfume, which hadn’t dissipated for too long.

And at this moment, Dai Lan saw the picture of the emperor. That is not a photo taken more than ten years ago, but a recent photo—the emperor’s hair has turned gray. And his wife also showed a kind smile, holding his hand like a young couple. But the emperor looked forward as if he couldn’t see her. You can tell at a glance that he is a stubborn old man.

“This is a photo synthesized by artificial intelligence.”

The emperor’s voice sounded behind her, and Dailan’s black fox’s ears pricked up in fright.

“When Bingshui was six years old, she had already passed away… You see. This is our previous photo.”

She subconsciously took the heavy photo sealed in the crystal plate and looked at it.

That was more than ten years ago – the emperor got a daughter when he was old, and now he is an old man in his sixties. And from this photo, the emperor is probably only thirty years old at most.

At that time, the emperor’s hair was still tea-brown curly hair, with only a streak of emperor penguin’s iconic golden highlights sticking up stubbornly. The strong and resolute young man is wearing a double-breasted trench coat with a stand-up collar, looking forward with a straight face and chest.

Beside him, a small girl with a pair of white ears and a small figure put her head on the emperor’s shoulders with a smile, and hugged one of his arms with both hands. The tail behind her was gently wrapped around the emperor’s other arm, and that naughty smile that looked a little naughty made Dai Lan think of ice water in an instant.

The emperor looked serious when he was young, but he didn’t have any resistance to her. His brows and eyes are very relaxed, his eyes are piercing, he is very careful about his movements, so that he will not squeeze into his lover, and even slightly tilted his shoulders so that she can sleep more comfortably.

Dai Lan subconsciously moved away from the old photo, and looked at the new photo composed by A on the table.

In her eyes, that kind old lady became vaguely blurred.

In the picture of the emperor, there is only nothingness.

The posture of the old emperor was obviously taken alone.

Because the old lady didn’t exist in his eyes—it can be seen from every detail that she doesn’t really exist.

It’s like being an actor. Let’s say there’s some kind of special effect here, and just play it out of the air…but he’s not a good actor after all. The old emperor opened the drawer in front of Dai Lan, only then did she see that it was full of various photos.

The two took many photos every year from their thirties to their sixties. The postures and locations are different, as if the two have been together, growing up and growing old together.

But as a woman, Dai Lan can keenly realize that there is no love in the eyes of the old emperor in those photos—there is no shadow of his wife in his eyes, only a deep hidden pain and solemnity.

Because he couldn’t see her at all.

“It’s been so many years,” the emperor said softly, “I make several pictures every year. I often fantasize about her every move, and use it to respond to questions from reporters like you. Sometimes, I’m sleepy… I thought My fantasy is real.”

“…Yes, revenge…?”

“No, it was an accident. One night, one shootout, one stray bullet. But just like you think, people will subconsciously suspect that she was killed by my enemy…because I have too many Too many enemies.”

The emperor stared at the old photo, and murmured softly: “It’s ridiculous. The most qualified old hero in Happy Island, he can’t even protect the person he loves the most…

“In order to trick people into doing good deeds and doing good deeds, I concealed it and faked that she still existed… as if she remained in this air. In order for people not to think ‘hero protects everything No; in order to make people believe that heroes are always on the watch for all injustice; in order that people will not realize

The fact that heroes can be revenged… is

“I’m most sorry for the ice water.

“I taught her to lie since she was a child. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com asked her to act as if her mother was still there to her teachers and classmates. She was sensible and learned to lie since she was a child… As an ignorant child, she It is the most powerful voice to conceal the truth. After all, people believe Tong Yan Wuji, and since Bing Shui said so, then people believe it.

“But this lie is to maintain the order of the entire empty island. Now think about it, who am I? I, a commoner, must maintain the order of the happy island? To make a little girl have to treat everyone from an early age Can you survive by lying?”

Emperors are never clean, nor great. It’s just that people expect too much from him.

He doesn’t even have psionic powers. It was only recently that the psychic power that once belonged to God-Sent Misfortune was awakened.

But what did you do early?

Why didn’t it respond to me when I needed psionic power the most?

The old man stared at the photo, the corners of his mouth tightened. He seemed to laugh, but couldn’t. There is a kind of bitter coffee-like sadness flowing in the eyes, which are not tears. Because he has no tears.

“—so ridiculous.”
