Chapter 127 [127] The Shadow Knight (two more)

Gu Yinglai did not speak, but looked at Yan Jinghong with deep eyes, acquiescing to her guess.

"You don't have to do that!" Yan Jinghong repeated again.

Gu Yinglai also spoke, "I like doing this."

Afterwards, he emphasized, "Just thinking that you might like this style makes me happy."

Yan Jinghong gently closed his eyes, "Okay, as long as you're happy, don't you want to watch a movie? It's getting late, let's watch it now."

"Okay, come with me."

There is a home theater on the third floor of the villa. It looks like an ultra-luxury private room for couples in a movie theater. In the large space, there is only one sofa, which is enough for three or four people, but it can actually accommodate two people. Sitting on it, it seems very intimate.

"Is it okay?" Because the decision was too sudden, the layout here has not been changed deliberately, and everything is arranged according to his original idea.

"Yes." Yan Jinghong sat on the sofa lazily, hugged a pillow in his arms, and said, "What movie do you want to watch, I hope it's interesting, don't let me fall asleep."

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Yan Jinghong was really tired after a busy day.

Gu Yinglai didn't speak, and didn't even choose a movie, but directly pressed the start button, and then the movie, or cartoon, appeared on the big screen.

"Shadow Knight" is a romantic adult cartoon made by M more than ten years ago. The protagonist of the story is a beautiful and kind princess. Because the witch is jealous of the princess's beauty and innocence, she uses witchcraft to turn the princess into a Abandoned the ugly freckled girl, lost in the uninhabited primeval forest, and began a series of adventure stories.

In the story, the princess met an ugly black bear in the forest. Not only was the black bear covered in wounds, but he was also blind in one eye. He lay weak on the ground, his eyes were desperate and numb, as if waiting for death to come.

The princess is kind. After thinking about it, she chose to save the black bear, and it was this black bear that protected the princess's safety. In the end, she even sent the princess back to the king and defeated the witch.

But when everything went back to the starting point, the princess couldn't find the black bear anymore. It was just that among the guards in the palace, there was an extra guard who lost one eye, silently and forever guarding his princess.

Yan Jinghong watched this cartoon when she was very young, with a few children. After watching it, she felt a little sad, because it was a tragedy, and the brave knight did not get love.

The cartoon started to play, and neither of them spoke. Yan Jinghong couldn't help looking at Gu Ying, but found that Gu Ying was watching it very seriously, which made Yan Jinghong feel a little weird.

She felt that Gu Ying was not watching cartoons, but a ritual.

Time passed bit by bit, just when Yan Jinghong thought that Gu Yinglai would watch the whole cartoon in silence, Gu Yinglai suddenly said, "Do you think it's strange?"

"So, you want to tell me the reason?" Smart people can communicate directly.

"If you want to know."

"...It's okay, tell me, and I'll listen." So she didn't think much about it.

Gu Yinglai curled the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling, but Jinghong's temperament was still the same, "It's probably an obsession. When I was young, I knew you were watching cartoons with your friends, and I was looking forward to it."

Yan Jinghong asked with an exploratory spirit: "Are you looking forward to joining in, or are you looking forward to watching with me?"

"The latter." Gu Yinglai emphasized, "It's just you and me."

Yan Jinghong smiled, does such a young child already have such a strong desire for monopoly?
"But I know, I can't do that." Gu Yinglai continued, with a heavy voice, "I'm not qualified to do that."

"Why?" Yan Jinghong was also a little curious about what kind of cognition Gu Yinglai had about their relationship and its origin.

"I'm not in good health, so I can't be with you. It's good to have someone else be with you." This is probably a very vague explanation. Although it is true, it also hides more extreme thoughts.

What Gu Yinglai thought was that since he couldn't be with him forever, he should be a lonely shadow just to protect him, just like the shadow knight in the cartoon.

After hearing this, Yan Jinghong didn't know what to say, but his heart was a little heavy.

Gu Yinglai suddenly asked, "I like this cartoon very much, how about you?"

"Ah, it's not bad, I don't think it's suitable for cartoons with a bit of a tragic color." When she saw it when she was a child, she felt that children should not watch this kind of cartoon.

Gu Yinglai was stunned, and asked reflexively, "Tragedy? How could it be a tragedy?"

Yan Jinghong was a little confused. After watching the cartoon that had come to an end, the knight turned into a beast because of the curse. After the witch died, the knight also returned to human form, but because of his identity, he just silently guarded the princess. , buried his love for the princess forever in the deepest part of his heart!

"...Isn't this a tragedy?" Yan Jinghong asked in surprise, looking a little dazed.

Gu Yinglai's eyes were tainted with a smile, she looked so startled, so cute.

"The princess has returned to the palace and lived a happy life; the witch has received retribution and can no longer harm others; the knight has also recovered her status and can always guard the princess." Gu Yinglai analyzed them one by one, "They all If you get what you want, how can it be a tragedy?"

"But doesn't the knight like the princess? Since he likes it, it's a tragedy to not be together!" Yan Jinghong insisted, "The knight didn't get what he wanted. For him, such an ending is a tragedy!"

Gu Yinglai moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent, just looking at Yan Jinghong's eyes, feeling depressed and helpless.

Yan Jinghong raised his eyebrows, he didn't like Gu Yinglai's compromising attitude, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Gu Yinglai became even more helpless, "Everyone's feelings are different. In my opinion, he is not a tragedy."

Yan Jinghong is very smart, at this moment he probably can understand Gu Yinglai's thoughts, what he is talking about may not necessarily be the knight, but also himself.

"... Well, it's not a tragedy." Yan Jinghong compromised, but it was only half of the compromise, "Although in my opinion, since he gave up fighting for it, he shouldn't be obsessed with it."

Either pursue bravely, or give up resolutely, the kind that neither pursues nor gives up, isn't it a tragedy for oneself?
