The puppets' stage play

Chapter 283 Those who serve the fire

Faced with Bai Yiyi who came without warning, Kong Leling didn't pay much attention. For her, there were many people like this coming every year, but they couldn't impress the man. People who thought she was young and easy to fool, if Everyone has to pay attention, and she is not exhausted.

Presumably the other party will give up this senseless behavior soon, she thought in her heart.

Kong Leling walked past Bai Yiyi without paying any attention to her. She had to go to some partners to discuss some business. She was not willing to be just a marriage tool. She despised that man in her heart. He had also fallen.

Bai Yiyi watched the other party go away with eyes like autumn water. She was not discouraged. She had long been prepared for a protracted war. Under the command of the older servants around her, she started her servant career today. .

As for the so-called invitation, she naturally didn't go.

Time seemed to have come to a standstill again. She came here every day, doing things she had never done before, feeling the many things that servants needed to pay attention to, and couldn't help but feel a little in awe of Hajime and the others.

However, what made her regretful was that the other party ignored her as if he had forgotten her, and she gradually understood why the other party had that attitude. Just during the time she worked here, she saw all kinds of Either a girl with good looks or outstanding temperament joins her ranks.

At first, they despised Bai Yiyi, but then they worked diligently every day, looking at each other eagerly, but they often ran away under Kong Leling's cold eyes.

And they tried to rely on their 'sincerity' to get the other party to agree to their request, but Kong Leling also had the same attitude of ignoring everything, so they who didn't get a response for a long time often disappeared from the queue in three or two days.

The only ones who persisted were Bai Yiyi and Mu Rong, who had blue eyes and always looked timid.

And Bai Yiyi heard other servants say in private that as a mixed-race person, she was not favored at home, so she was sent here partly to please and partly to make use of waste. Therefore, unlike Bai Yiyi, she was no longer favored. Can't go back.

"Are you still there? I remember your name is...Bai Yiyi?"

Three months later, Bai Yiyi was distracted, but she was noticed by Kong Leling who raised her head in deep thought. There was some surprise in her eyes.

Mu Rong was also accompanying him, and when she saw the other person's gaze, she couldn't help but shrink back.

Bai Yiyi nodded slightly without saying anything.

Thoughts flashed in Kong Leling's eyes, and she turned to look at the other timid Mu Rong, with cold eyes and a sneer on her lips.

"Come to my room later"

After saying this, she drank a cup of tea in one gulp, stood up with a natural expression, and walked to the back room.

Mu Rong swallowed her saliva and took a deep breath. There was worry and confusion in her eyes. If the goal of the person who sent her here was achieved, where should she go next?

But she couldn't refuse, so she walked to the back court.

Bai Yiyi turned around and left, continuing to do her own things.

In the afternoon, an older servant carrying a long object wrapped in white cloth and tied with a rope was coming from the back courtyard and walking towards the door. Bai Yiyi stopped wiping the table and couldn't help but stare at that person. side.

The servant glanced at this place, said nothing, and walked out the door minding his own business.

The breeze blew and the white cloth swayed slightly. Bai Yiyi looked intently. For some reason, her eyesight became extremely strong. She saw the scene of the internal test at a glance, and her breath suddenly stopped.

Mu Rong's head was tilted to one side, and the side face was covered with blood stains, spinning around like a ball.

Bai Yiyi was in a daze for a moment, feeling that she had seen an illusion. She originally thought that Kong Leling was just indifferent, but now that she thought about it, she might have some unknown sadism.

"That is not a delicate woman, but a notorious assassin. Her so-called personality is just to arouse sympathy from others. Even her so-called family is just a temporary actor she found. It is really deliberate."

Kong Leling walked out of the back courtyard with a contemptuous smile on her face, and then looked at Bai Yiyi.

"Unfortunately, she is still too young. I have seen too many of these so-called techniques."

"But, it's all up to you whether you believe it or not. Maybe I'm lying. Now, come with me to the backyard."

There was an unpredictable smile in her eyes, and then she walked to the back with a calm expression, leaving Bai Yiyi alone behind in silence.

Finally, she headed to the rear.

She succeeded. Kong Leling reached a negotiation with the Yan family, and Bai Furen successfully occupied a place in Haizhou City. As a price, she became the other party's 'exclusive maid', ensuring that she was always available and only listened to the other party's orders. Order.

Later, she accompanied Kong Leling to a rally. As expected, most of the people at the meeting were people she knew. After all, those people were the top talents in the city.

Gong Shoucheng, Gong Shouze, Liu Ju, Zhang Ke, Lin Sheng, Li Zhi.

Yan Wudao, Lin Dao, Zhou Zhuqing.

Kong Leling, Liang Bailian.

And now Bai Yiyi has returned here again. Looking at the expectations in others' eyes, she also smiled knowingly.

"There's no need for this. I didn't ask Kong Leling to invite you here to force you to come. It's just to catch up on old times. There's no need to be so harsh." However, the gentle man saw that her smile was insincere and spoke to stop this behavior. .

Kong Leling snorted coldly and did not refute the other party's remarks.

She couldn't help but be startled, and then she understood why the other party brought her here. She looked around, and there was no contempt on the faces of the familiar people, but a look of nostalgia.

"It was my fault back then, Yiyi, I'm sorry!"

Yan Wudao stepped forward, lowered his head and apologized sincerely to her. The humble and kind-hearted gentleman in front of her suddenly overlapped with the blond boy with arrogant eyes.

He lowered his head, his eyes full of frustration, his golden hair a little messy, but his attitude was very solemn.

Bai Yiyi shook her head gently. She had never cared about the other party, and how could she forgive him? To her at that time, the other party was just a straw to cover up, so now she would not say any words of resentment. .

Because... She smiled softly, her eyes filled with indifference. She was no longer the little girl who needed to rely on others.

Bai Yiyi's eyes were a little dazed. After a while, her eyes returned to clarity. She looked at the delighted Yan Wudao in front of her with some surprise. However, she did not ask questions, but stood quietly next to Kong Leling.

"That's fine now. Let's get acquainted again and become friends again."

Gong Shoucheng nodded, and then began today's discussion. They expressed their opinions one by one on the policies of high-level officials and the reactions of the people, so as to increase their knowledge.

Such gatherings happened from time to time, and in the middle there was a head-to-head competition between Gong Shoucheng and Kong Leling. The latter dyed her hair pink and tied it into twin tails the next day. The cold beauty's aura was gone forever.

Bai Yiyi witnessed Kong Leling, who was scowling at everyone at the beginning, gradually became polite, and could say a few nice things to everyone, with the exception of two people, one of whom was Gong Shoucheng who defeated her, and she always Trying to provoke the other person and gain their attention.

The other person was Lin Dao, who also had a very bad temper. The two of them would often quarrel after saying a few words, and at this time, only Gong Shoucheng could often stop the two of them.

At a party one day.

"... Soon after, Qingjing's enrollment will begin, but I will not participate for the time being, but I hope you will go and participate. With your talents, you will definitely pass."

Gong Shoucheng's eyes were clear, and he spoke to everyone calmly.

Everyone is puzzled. Being close to Qingjing Academy is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. Just looking at the existence of the current mayor of Haizhou City, you can know that even for their family, it is a very heavy bargaining chip and can even interfere with the decision of the head of the family. .

Why did the other party delay their admission? They couldn't help but look at each other with worried eyes.

"Shou Cheng, what do you want to do?" Yan Wudao asked with a frown.

Kong Leling on the side also looked concerned, showing no sign of her usual competitiveness with the other party.

"I have my plans, so you don't have to worry. Zhang Qian in Qingjing School is on good terms with me. You just need to support each other for the time being."

Gong Shoucheng did not answer, but said another person's name.

"That genius from a humble family? I don't want you to think so highly of him. Hmm, I'm going to test him and see what he can do." Kong Leling snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction with that person.

Gong Shoucheng smiled slightly and looked at the other person.

"That Dean Kang will make public the news that Zhang Qian will be his disciple at a meeting soon," Zhang Ke said in a calm tone.

Everyone's pupils shrank. If this is the case, Qingjing's future leader is basically Zhang Gan. After all, Dean Kang is a man who is outstanding in his tactics and tactics. What he did was basically public. Stand on the other side.

"My ideals will not change, so I need some help from other aspects. Don't worry, I will definitely go there and reunite with you within three years."

Gong Shoucheng's tone was firm, and everyone sighed, knowing that they could not persuade the other party and had to follow the other party's wishes.

"...I definitely don't agree. What kind of genius is that? See how I beat him after entering!" Lindao said angrily, waving his fist at the side.

Yan Wudao's expression was stagnant. Lin Dao was not usually such a rude person, but he was like this today. He shook his head and secretly decided to hold the other person after he entered school and never let him do anything wrong.

Bai Yiyi didn't say anything, she just looked at everyone with calm eyes, without any disturbance in her heart.

During this period of time, she always felt an inexplicable sense of alienation. What she wanted to do one moment, she completely forgot the next moment. It was different from other people's world, and her life was often in intermittent blanks.

Sometimes I suddenly wake up in the crowd, but I forget why I was shocked.

What am I doing today and what will happen to me tomorrow.

She thought, this is not right, but regarding this, she felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment in her heart, like a drunkard sinking in a pool of wine. He knew that he would die if he continued, but he could not extricate himself. He was still addicted to this short-term joy. middle.

So in the next moment, the scene in front of her gradually left her.

………………

some day.

It was raining heavily in the sky. She walked alone on the deserted street, leaving those who protected her behind. Her eyes were a little dazed. She looked up at the pouring rain, but she didn't know where she should go.

So, she simply stood there, staring blankly at the gray sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The sound of wind accompanied by the sound of rain showed this quiet world before her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel intoxicated. What could be more worth stopping than this beautiful scenery?

"Hiss, this is it!"

A sound mixed with fear and surprise appeared in the ears, and then someone ran away with messy steps.

She turned her eyes and saw the back of a somewhat thin man, but... it felt a little familiar?

She couldn't help but frown. She asked herself how she could feel familiar if she had never seen the other person before. She lowered her head and thought carefully, not paying attention to the bodyguards who gradually surrounded him.

That feeling...feeling...seems a bit like myself!

She thought hard, an idea came to her mind, and she suddenly figured out the reason.

"Did you just realize that? What a slow guy."

An indifferent voice sounded in her heart, and she was not surprised at all. She looked at the men in black who were frozen in place and responded calmly.

"After all, you have always been by my side, and I just subconsciously ignored you, didn't I?"

She remembered that in the mirror, the other party had actually been talking to her, but she deliberately ignored him.

"When you were abandoned by your father and cried alone, I was by your side."

"While you are secretly sad and lamenting your fate, I listen to your story of suffering."

"I am you, but not you. You desire to be freed from all shackles, while I am waiting to awaken my existence in a long sleep. It is your desire that attracts my attention."

"I rejoice and prepare enough stages for you"

"The Bai family is the cocoon that gave birth to you and me. I spread from the past and meet you in the present. Then we will become one in the future. At that time, you will enjoy everything, and I will also fight on my battlefield. "

"So, please remember, it was not I who created you, but you who created me. I am not a cicada that fell into a trap, but a follower of fire who fell into a trap."

"See you in the distant future, my daughter."

'Bai Yiyi' shed tears, time began to pass, and her eyes became crystal clear, like a 'young child' who was about to transform.

He has never set foot here, but just lingers with his eyes. The snail knows, the remaining body has faded into scales and horns, and he looks at the past and the future, thus becoming one.

"Rebels, little do they know that death will come as expected!"

Bai Yiyi flicked her hand, and the Cang Yan disappeared in her hand, and then looked at Cang Chun indifferently.

"He's just a descendant of the gods, he's really bragging."

Cang Chunchang smiled, as if he saw a child declaring war on an adult, and his stupid performance made him laugh a little.

"Next, I won't be so gentle anymore. You know, evil is punishable by death, without exception."

Cang Chun's smile faded, and her face became cold and ruthless, as if it were high in the sky.
