There was silence in the secret room.

Jiang Ling's confession was unexpected by Xie Zexi. He looked at Jiang Ling in surprise. His almost chaotic thoughts slowly gathered together, and his consciousness was withdrawn from the space in his memory that was so small that it was difficult to breathe.

The young man standing in front of him quietly waited for his answer, his breathing was almost inaudible, he must have been holding his breath.

"I will definitely take you out." Jiang Ling solemnly promised.

Xie Zexi took a deep look at Jiang Ling through his trembling fingers. There was a heavy darkness in his eyes, but he still closed his eyes as Jiang Ling wished.

"Okay."

With his eyes closed, other perceptions seemed to be more acute.

Xie Zexi noticed that Jiang Ling was greatly relieved, put down the hand covering his eyes, and held him tentatively.

His hand was cold, but Jiang Ling's hand was even colder than his. She carefully put her hand into his palm. Seeing that he didn't refuse by default, she mustered up the courage to interlock her fingers boldly and hold it tightly.

The ten fingers fit into each other perfectly, and the palm is full, as if it was born this way.

"Remember, you can only think about me now." Jiang Ling whispered as a reminder.

The voice was soft, but easily heard in a small secret room. Just like Jiang Ling, he had a very strong presence and was so domineering that he occupied all his thoughts.

Xie Zexi closed his eyes and said "Hmm" in a low voice. He felt a little better. He fumbled for the video equipment on his body and found that it was indeed missing. He must have left it on it.

Xie Zexi stood up and said to Jiang Ling: "Look for the agency." Jiang Ling

nodded vigorously, remembering that Xie Zexi could not see with his eyes closed, so he said: "Look for it now, think about it carefully."

After saying this, he immediately took Xie Zexi and set off. He used his other hand to explore every part of the secret room inch by inch.

Xie Zexi let Jiang Ling take him away, with a faint doubt in his heart.

When he first fell, Jiang Ling's attitude was obviously that he knew he couldn't be in a claustrophobic environment. He seemed to know something before and tried his best to stop him from going to Tao Yuanbai.

While Xie Zexi was thinking, it didn't take long for Jiang Ling to touch a large series of uneven stone-like buttons.

He had very good night vision, and he was pleasantly surprised when he looked closer and recognized the ice sculptures engraved on it. He tried pressing the button again, but nothing happened.

"Have you found the mechanism?" Xie Zexi heard the voice and asked.

Jiang Ling was a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and said, "I found it, but I'm still researching."

"Wait for me." Jiang Ling stabilized his anxious mind, took a deep breath, and warned himself to be calm and calm.

He stared at the pattern of the mechanism for a long time, and murmured: "The ice sculptures given by the program team are the same as those on the mechanism. There must be a connection."

Thinking of the reminder given by the program team, Jiang Ling suddenly had a change of heart, and his soul was blessed, and his eyes were bright. He stood up and said, "Xie Zexi, give me the piece of paper given by the program team. I'll look at the position on it and press it again." "

Okay." Xie Zexi handed the paper to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling pressed the buttons carefully until the last button was pressed. A small light suddenly lit up on the wall in front of them, like dominoes, followed by the second, third... and his

sleeves were suddenly pulled. Jiang Ling couldn't hide her joy and said, "Xie Zexi, I've cracked it. Open your eyes."

Xie Zexi opened his eyes.

In front of him is a large transparent glass wall. Inside the glass wall is "planted" a frost flower tree made of ice and snow. The flower is shaped like an epiphyllum and is as tall as a person. Finally, a lavender spotlight lights up in the middle of the wall, shining on the flower tree. Above, it is hazy and beautiful, like a thing from the sky, with shocking beauty.

The ice sculptures they collected were imitations of the tree, but not nearly as lifelike as it was.

Xie Zexi looked at the tree and recalled something from his long memory. This flower tree seemed to be the most popular work in the ice sculpture exhibition competition held in Jiayun last year.

However, after the competition, as expected, most of the large ice sculptures had to be smashed unfortunately. Just as Jiayun was planning to build a large secret room, a department suggested building a special secret room and placing these ice sculptures in it. Xie's father even asked him casually the opinion of.

He seemed to be saying that he could create a hidden secret room.

When Xie Zexi looked at the flowers and trees, Jiang Ling looked at Xie Zexi without blinking.

"Isn't it so beautiful?"

As soon as Jiang Ling's voice fell, a sweet voice sounded from the broadcast in the secret room: "Congratulations to the player for finding the hidden secret room. As a player who has cleared the hidden level for the first time, we have prepared a little surprise for you. Please be patient. Look for it."

Xie Zexi came back to his senses with a complicated expression. He led Jiang Ling and groped around the mechanism. Sure enough, he found a hole and took out a small box from it.

He held his forehead.

"What is this?" Jiang Ling asked curiously.

"Souvenir." Xie Zexi gave the small box to Jiang Ling, and looked into the young man's shining eyes. The fear of the rest of his life had not yet faded from his eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes were a little red. He didn't know that he had just been in the dark. , showing an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

He paused, his heart moved slightly, and reached out to rub Jiang Ling's black hair. His expression softened rarely, his voice slowed down, and he praised: "You did a good job, thank you this time."

Jiang Ling's cheeks twitched. Hong said, "Yes."

"It seems that I have one more meal for you." A smile flashed in Xie Zexi's eyes and he said, "Let's go out."

He saw the door.

Jiang Ling held the box and nodded, without letting go of Xie Zexi's hand. He took the initiative to step forward and hold the door handle. As he spoke,

he twisted: "I'll do it, I'll do it." He twisted hard, his hands were red, but he couldn't hit it no matter what. not open.

"This door handle seems to be broken." Jiang Ling said awkwardly, thinking that it was definitely not because he was too weak!

"Let me try." Xie Zexi locked his eyes on the door handle, let go of Jiang Ling's hand, and held the door handle with force.

With a "click" sound, a completely broken door handle was removed.

Jiang Ling: "!!!" He took a breath of air.

As expected, no one can offend Xie Zexi.

"It doesn't matter, someone will come to fix it." Xie Zexi said calmly.

Jiang Ling smiled dryly, but did not say that what he was worried about was not the door lock.

Light came in from outside the door. Xie Zexi walked out of the secret room and was about to leave. Jiang Ling suddenly stopped before stepping out of the secret room.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zexi turned around and looked at Jiang Ling, who was hiding in the shadows inside the door, and asked.

"My answer." Jiang Ling clutched the small box, a little nervous sweat broke out in his palms, his long eyelashes kept fluttering, and he pretended to be relaxed and said: "You... haven't given it to me yet."

Xie Zexi paused slightly.

As if he was afraid that Xie Zexi would forget, Jiang Ling raised his hand and grabbed Xie Zexi, looking at him closely, his throat was so tense that it was dry, he opened his mouth, and after a long while, he slowly and solemnly repeated: "Can you stop liking Tao Yuan Bai, do you like me?"

The air seemed to be silent for only a moment, and it seemed like a long, long time passed.

Xie Zexi lowered his eyes and looked at the unblinking peach blossom eyes in the shadow, full of anxiety and seriousness.

He was silent for a long time. If he said no, what would happen to the person in front of him?

Will these bright eyes turn gray and lose energy for a few days, will they be so sad that their eyes are red, or will they struggle to put on a forced smile and say it's okay?

Xie Zexi's thin lips moved, and he couldn't tell whether he was soft-hearted or something else, he said softly.

"You can try."

Try?

Does that mean he has a chance?

Jiang Ling suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his eyes burst into great light, full of joy. He didn't know where to move his hands and feet. The corners of his lips couldn't help but raise high, and he smiled brightly. He was obviously extremely surprised.

"That's right." Xie Zexi unconsciously raised his lower lip, and suddenly said seriously: "I don't like Tao Yuanbai. I have no feelings for him for a long time. The first half of this sentence can be deleted."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, stupidly He asked stupidly, "Didn't you say that he saved you..."

"Jinyao has supported him for more than ten years." Xie Zexi said with a little frost on his eyebrows: "The favor has been repaid a long time ago, and he and I are not the same. Owe."

"I have informed his agent that Tao Yuanbai will leave Jinyao after the variety show." Xie Zexi said lightly. He even disliked Tao Yuanbai more and more. He always couldn't make up his mind and ran to him to act in front of him. Be a fool.

He frowned, remembering that weird power again.

"Really?" The surprise fell from the sky, and her chest was filled with joyful sweetness. Jiang Ling pursed her lips to prevent herself from looking too happy, but she still couldn't help but smile. There was joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which was only slightly more joyful than before. few.

"Xie Zexi." Jiang Ling suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Xie Zexi asked with eyes.

"I'm so happy."

Before Xie Zexi responded, his lips suddenly softened. Jiang Ling put her hand into his, interlocked with his fingers, then stepped out of the shadows and kissed him.

"I'm going to start chasing you." The young man smiled brightly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his crooked eyes, and asked with a smile: "Before you agree, I will take a loan first, do you mind?"

Xie Zexi's mouth twitched. , a helpless smile appeared in his eyes.

How else could you mind? You can't let him come back, so maybe he wants it and will be very happy to do it again.

"Let's go." Xie Zexi did not let go of Jiang Ling's hand, acquiescing to his domineering behavior.

Jiang Ling nodded vigorously, satisfied.

Xie Zexi looked away from the corner of his eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and went to other places with ice sculptures.

The second he looked away, Jiang Ling glanced sideways, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated. He looked at Xie Zexi who was back to normal, and his eyes gradually turned firm.

At this moment, he could be sure that Xie Zexi was not just a character in the book who needed to be saved, but a person who was sometimes caring, sometimes sinister, sometimes gentle, so powerful that he seemed to know a little about everything, but also had his own weaknesses, a living flesh-and-blood person. people.

Not only this secret room, but he and Xie Zexi also wanted to leave the utility room when they were young.

He would come out together with the little Xie Zexi who was trapped in a small, dark place, huddled helplessly in the corner holding himself, facing the light, and walking out of the shadow.

They found fourteen frost flowers and decided to go out to rest first, fearing that there was really something wrong with Jiang Ling's feet.

Before going out, Xie Zexi looked at Jiang Ling, who was beaming with joy along the way and had a smile on his face. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I have a question to ask." "You can

ask it." Jiang Ling waved her hand cheerfully: "Don't worry and be bold. "

Why did you stop me from going back to find Tao Yuanbai just now? How did you know that I have cabin fever?" Xie Zexi stopped, stared at Jiang Ling, and said with a smile on his lips: "I want to hear the truth. ."

Jiang Ling's smile froze.

Oops.
