Lu Huan didn't understand the mechanism behind the bubbles' appearance, he simply guessed that they should appear when his inner emotions were more turbulent.
Su Xi just saw the bubbles above his head and laughed wildly on the table. She was not shocked at all, she was used to it. It seemed like the bubbles had been popping up for a while now.
...I don't know what weird thoughts show up each time the bubbles pop up.
Thinking this, Lu Huan's face became increasingly ugly.
He was simply unlovable.
In fact, like all teenagers in the world who had a crush, he rather hoped that Xiao Xi knew of the thoughts that kept him up at night over and over again.
But at the same time, he was afraid to tell her.
He was afraid that once she knew, she would feel uncomfortable, feel weird, and would let go of the brick in her hand and never come back. His dynasty and her world were thousands of years apart, and he was more afraid of losing her than anyone.
Moreover, he was afraid that even the current relaxed and warm atmosphere couldn't exist between the two anymore.
......
However, judging from Xiao Xi's current attitude that still regards him only as a cartoon character, the bubbles that pop up above his head should never say the words "like" or "admiration".
Thinking about this, Lu Huan was in a complicated mood, but he was a little relieved.
But every time she takes the brick to meet him, he can hardly restrain his joy, when she didn't come to find him, he couldn't help but miss her. When it was time to go to bed, although he urged her to go to bed, he still had a thousand reluctances in his heart... There are so many emotions related to her that it is difficult to control.
Lu Huan was afraid that one day he would not be careful, and the bubble above his head would accidentally reveal by itself what he couldn't say.
So when Xiao Xi came to see him again he took a deep breath and tried his best to focus on what was in front of him and what he said to her, trying to keep his inner emotions from fluctuating too much.
......
Su Xi was not a fool either, she soon found out that the Cub was acting a bit weird
Usually the bubbles above his head will pop up every three to five minutes. Even if there was no text in the bubbles, small suns, small red hearts, and desolate little leaves will pop up to express his feelings. But since last time, after the thought of "I want to return to the capital," there were no bubbles for a long time.
This was not the strangest thing.
In the past, he did not know what direction she was in, so when he spoke to her, he subconsciously looked into the void. But recently, he has been looking in a fixed direction, looking up directly in front of him-even if there is a table in front of him. Could it be that he thought she would stand on the table and talk to him?
Not just that, but his expression would also be a little strange sometimes. For example, when she slapped the table and laughed wildly, he should not have seen her, but the expression on his face was somewhat despondent and stiff.
(Bored Diva: the author used the expression 生无可恋 - shēng wú kě liàn, it's an internet slang that does not translate well. Means "life without love" and, according to baidu, conveys " that there are no people or things to be missed in life, and life has no meaning". I think it means he is very disappointed with having the image of her destroyed. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%94%9F%E6%97%A0%E5%8F%AF%E6%81%8B/19876415)
Su Xi was puzzled and subconsciously interpreted this as that the cub might have something to hide from her, something he didn't want her to know. How strange.
They talked about everything, what secrets could there be?
Was it about news of his background and the Emperor? He can't tell her directly? Or maybe the disaster in the North became so serious and he was so worried that he couldn't think of anything else? Or was it that he was embarrassed to talk about puppy love to his grandma? But he is in the barracks, surrounded by bearded cartoon officials, where was there any opportunity for puppy love?！
Su Xi had a headache and decided not to speculate.
But in this way, after she opened the game, she couldn't help but stay with the cub for a long time.
Before, she might have looked around to watch the other little officials walking around on the screen, but now she couldn't help stare at the Cub's face to see what was wrong with the Cub.
But after watching too much, Su Xi gradually developed a feeling that -- "the Cub doesn't seem to be a Cub anymore."
Before, from Ning Mansion to the Ministry of War, his picture had always been a cartoon, the Cub in her eyes has always been a short-handed milk dumplings, no matter what movements, what facial expressions, all are cute and childish.
Even when he was angry, on Su Xi's side there was only a steamed, stuffed bun with a round face and no dignity at all.
But now the cub was in front of her every day with the title of "17-year-old Lu Huan, who is already able to marry and have children in the State of Yan"-- yes, for some reason, as soon as his sixteenth birthday passed, the title changed immediately, the game system was terribly intelligent.
In addition, he was dressed in silver armor, a golden beast belt around his waist, and bronze breastplates on both the front and back. He often had no time to take off his armor, he always had slightly messy hair and rosy cheeks, a handsome young man whom she could not take her eyes off.
He also specially emphasized his height of more than eight feet before, so that Su Xi now does not open the overlooking perspective, but opens the horizontal viewing perspective.
As a result, every time Su Xi is startled by the height of this tall teenager, the cartoon characters around him who did not yet have their original paintings opened were made to look like dwarfs by him.
The Cub always maintained the original painting of a boy. His frowns and occasional smiles were very real in Su Xi's eyes. She couldn't help covering her heart and thinking. No wonder the daughter of the Minister of War came out and wanted to send him off that day.
And when he discussed with General Zhenyuan and meditated on the arrangement plan, there was an indescribable older demeanor in his every move.
Now, the 17-year-old was incomparably handsome, completely different from the previous milk dumpling who was shorter than Su Xi's knees.
Su Xi had been watching this model for a long time, and she is almost in a trance. Every time she called out "Cub" in her heart, she will get stuck, and she always feels a little embarrassed.
But thanks to this trashy game! She wanted to switch to the original cartoon mode, but the game can't switch back!
Is this the mandatory "difficult to go from extravagance to thrifty"?！
Su Xi was a little depressed. It felt like the Cub she had raised with her own hands suddenly grew up one day. She looked at the handsome face of the teenager and could not call him Cub at all.
Before the Cub's sixteenth birthday, he was younger than Su Xi, she could still laugh and say "little Huan". But now, seeing that the cub is seventeen years old, and is even three months older than her according to the date, she couldn't even call out "little Huan".
Was there such a person whom was 1.8 meters tall and could still be a Cub?
This kind of conflicted and complicated mood, she originally had only a little bit. After all, she met with the Cub every day, so she would not feel any strangeness.
It was only a slightly uncomfortable feeling but today, as soon as she went online, she came across the Cub taking off his armor and robe. The feeling instantly reached its peak.
Before Su Xi could close her eyes, she saw the naked upper body of the young man in the tent.
After he had just finished his patrol, he dismounted his horse and let two soldiers guard outside the tent. Then he stood by the bed, took off his armor with his back to Su Xi, took off half of his robe, picked up the Jinchuang medicine on the table and began to apply it to the wound.
The youth's skin is like a layer of white glaze, smooth and graceful. After nearly a year of exercise and battle, he has thin and unexaggerated muscles, showing a feeling between the youthful astringency of the youth and the calmness of the adult man. He seems to have an arrow wound on his shoulder, oozing blood, destroying the beauty like a tear, and giving him a sense of war-damaged beauty.
Su Xi: Shoot!
Su Xi saw the cub's body when she changed his wet clothes when he was still a milk dumpling, but back then the body of the steamed stuffed bun's face was also white and soft, and she could not see anything at all.
She had no idea that the cub was actually very stylish!
She was so caught off guard that she saw all of the Cub!
Although Su Xi had no thoughts about the Cub, firstly she didn't usually look at adult pictures, and secondly she had no chance to watch intimate scenes in a TV series. She still had a relatively simple mind and had never seen someone else's body. She never thought that her first time seeing it would be a game's Cub. Her face suddenly burst into flames.
Su Xi rubbed her face and tried her best to calm down, he is still injured.
She quickly bought the 100% effective Jinchuang medicine from the mall, pulled off the cub's robe hanging aside, and said anxiously, "Why are you hurt again?"
When Lu Huan was not on the battlefield, he would keep the curtain open all the time. As soon as he looked up and saw that she had opened the brick in her hand, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's just a scratch."
Su Xi enlarged his arm on the screen and she was relieved to see that it was really just a scratch and that it was not a big problem.
The bruise was on the back of his arm, and it was difficult for the Cub to bandage it by himself, but Su Xi was also a little clumsy across the screen, it was difficult to operate. She was afraid that she would cause pain to the Cub, so she did not take the initiative to help with the bandage.
But fortunately, the Cub was quick with his hands and feet and wrapped it skillfully, he then lowered his head and put on his robe.
As soon as he did so, his long hair as black as a waterfall fell on his smooth and powerful shoulder blades, and Su Xi didn't know where to look.
Su Xi wanted to cry without tears.
Why? Why can't this game change back to the original milk dumpling mode? Now her face was inexplicably hot, and she didn't dare let the interface be in the tent anymore.
She hurriedly switched the interface, coughed at the cub, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent. I will come back later."
Lu Huan felt a little lost. He also planned to discuss other matters with her, but he didn't expect that she would leave after less than half a second. But there must be something urgent, so he couldn't stop her.
He nodded, trying his best not to let his disappointment show, and said with a smile, "Okay, see you later."
Su Xi quickly turned off the screen. The scene where she accidentally bumped into the young man undressing still lingered in her mind.
She shook her head, jumped off the sofa, and frantically performed a set of radio gymnastics in the air. Then she thought that she had burned fat and was no longer afraid. She took out two packs of potato chips from the TV cabinet and chewed with a "Kacha kacha" sound.
Meanwhile Lu Huan, who thought she would really have something urgent to do: "..."
......
Lu Huan also found that Su Xi was a little strange recently. She closed the brick (Bored Diva: The author wrote "curtain", but I think they got it mixed up) in a hurry because she said something happened, but then she continued to stay at home and eat potato chips boredly. It didn't look like something happened.
Lu Huan couldn't help but start to wonder if he had done something wrong, causing her to not want to see him as much as before.
Lu Huan wanted to take the time to talk to her, but the military emergency and the task of rescuing more than a hundred elderly, women and children was imminent, so he had to put the matter aside for a while. When the war situation here was a little less urgent, he would ask her what's wrong.
Huiyan Mountain Canyon was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you directly lead the army to approach, they fear that those hostages will be massacred immediately.
For today's plan, they could only win by being cunning. General Zhenyuan decided to hand the matter over to Lu Huan and asked him to select ten men to form a team of eleven. They would pretend to be spies and "accidentally" get caught by the enemy.
Only in this way could they go deep into the enemy camp and rescue the hostages.
It was dangerous, but it was the only way.
The enemy already knew Lu Huan's face. After Lu Huan was captured, he would definitely receive revenge. This revenge could not be as simple as a flesh wound. Therefore, after they entered the enemy camp, they must take the more than 100 people out as soon as possible, otherwise the safety will be unpredictable.
This trip is extremely dangerous, and precisely because it is dangerous, Lu Huan does not want Su Xi to see the process of his injury, she is bound to be frightened.
He thought about it and set the time for action in the middle of the snowy night.
The barracks in the north were silent, except for the cries of some people in the city for the loss of their loved ones. Lu Huan and several subordinates of General Zhenyuan, dressed in disguise and dressed in enemy armor, bypassed the mountains and headed to Huiyan Mountain Canyon.
Lu Huan went on in a low voice: "get things done as soon as possible. After being captured, try to burn the food and grass of the battalion, no later than this time tomorrow."
The other ten people with him nodded solemnly.
Lu Huan calculated clearly that she had just gone to bed, and she would go to school tomorrow, and she would not open her curtain until she came back from school. Well, on his side, according to twice the time flow rate, it should be exactly two nights and one day.
By this time tomorrow, late at night, he can go back to his tent.
The enemy army has retreated to Huiyan Mountain. Although exhausted at this time, it is also the moment to hold on to the last breath. All soldiers entering and leaving Huiyan Mountain Canyon are strictly monitored.
The enemy army was naturally worried that the Yan State army would bypass Huiyan Mountain, so they gathered all the hostages to the canyon, turning the canyon into an iron wall.
When Lu Huan and others disguised and sneaked in, it was difficult not to be discovered by the enemy.
The enemy has been found, but quietly, just wait for them to get close to the canyon, and then catch them all.
But as everyone knows, this is exactly the trap of Yan's army.
Everything went according to plan. The eleven-person team was quickly captured. Only ten people were captured in the canyon, but the enemy did not know that there were actually eleven people who set off. At this time, the attention of the leader guarding the canyon was completely focused on Lu Huan and General Zhenyuan's direct subordinate Zhonglang Jiang and others.
He recognized these people as all the heroic players in the previous battles, especially a cavalry captain surnamed Lu who was said to be the heir of General Zhenyuan!
However, when Lu Huan and the others were tortured with whips for hundreds of times in the canyon, over there, the enemy's food and fodder in the hinterland of the canyon suddenly burst into flames!
The enemy was caught off guard by this move, and hurriedly dispatched troops to put out the fire.
Lu Huan and the other nine people took the opportunity to loosen their ties and go to the prison to save people.
All actions must be done quickly.
After the people were rescued and the enemy could no longer threaten the Yan army with their lives, the best archers rushed out to Huiyan Mountain, with fire on the arrows, ten thousand arrows fired together, and blocked the road with boulders to wipe out the people trapped in Huiyan Mountain Canyon in one fell swoop!
When Lu Huan and others escaped Huiyan Mountain Canyon with more than 100 civilians, there were already people from General Zhenyuan outside.
Most of these more than 100 people are relatives of the people in the city. Their relatives have long been waiting outside the city with the army. When they saw a procession coming back in the distance, the people could hardly control their excitement. They burst into tears and rushed to pick them up.
However, in the end, they failed to save everyone, and some of the already weak hostages did not make it to the distant army of the town to save them during the torment of the enemy during this period of time.
At this time, many people were holding their last breath. After returning to the city, they fell into unconscious on the ground, so the doctors in the city rushed to take care of them.
The rest of the rescued people who were still sober knelt together and kowtowed to thank the Zhenyuan Army for their life-saving grace.
There is a blaze of fire outside the city and chaos in the city, but in any case, after today, the war in the north will be more or less extinguished, and the enemy will suffer heavy losses and dare not do anything for the time being. For at least half a month, the army can take a break and recover.
"Captain of the Cavalry!" A doctor in the military camp wanted to come over with a medicine box to check on Lu Huan's injuries, but at this time there was a shortage of doctors in the city, so Lu Huan asked him to see other people's injuries, not to mention that Lu Huan was not used to his body being contacted by others, he hurriedly resigned to General Zhenyuan, and returned to his tent, wanting to deal with the injury before she came.
Lu Huan did not have any serious injuries on his body, but after pretending to be captured, he had several more whip marks on his back and neck. These whip wounds were not unbearable to him, but after falling into the hands of the enemy stationed in Huiyan Mountain, in order to pry open their mouths and get a topographic map of the north, the enemy troops sprinkled salt on their wounds.
As a result, the wound was dripping with blood.
Before taking off the coat, you can only see the white coat stained with blood, and before you take it off, you can see the skin and flesh wounds.
Lu Huan asked someone to fetch water, and after washing the wound skillfully, he smeared it with Jinchuang medicine. Although he was numb with pain in his body, Lu Huan was vaguely happy in his heart. After the successful completion of this task, he should add more than a dozen points, so that he would be closer and closer to the day when he could see her.
Thinking like this, he didn't pay attention to the strength in his hands, the wound on his shoulder burst open again, and Lu Huan couldn't help frowning.
He wanted to fight quickly, but he had so many whiplashes on his body that he had to slow down a little. When the clock on the wall of Su Xi's house turned to 5:30, he hurriedly put on his clothes and fastened his belt, put away the blood-stained bandages on the ground, and ordered the people outside the tent to throw them away.
He sat in front of the desk and began to transcribe the military situation. Except for a wound on his neck that was hard to hide, one could not see that he had been seriously injured at all.
