I nearly spat out a mouthful of imaginary salt water at him. "Handsome and invincible with wisdom? Next time you talk, don't face me. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and end up beating you to a pulp."
After the two of us bickered for a while, looking at Hualian'er over there, we suddenly had a bad feeling.
The fat guy regained his usual calm, but suddenly his potential as a jokester was revealed.
"I'm really curious now. Do you think she still recognizes us? You know, before she regained her sanity, she was like a monster. Speaking of being a monster, I've got quite a story to tell."
I thought to myself, Can't you stop talking nonsense?
"What do you mean by 'a story to tell'? Speak plainly."
The fat guy told me that Hualian'er had taken me as her love rival. I had guessed this before, but I really couldn't understand the thought - process of these girls.
Are there no good men left? How poor is her taste?
I rolled my eyes and gave the fat guy a disdainful look.
The fat guy caught my eye and immediately understood. He raised his hands helplessly. "Okay, I get it. I'll shut up. So, do you really have feelings for Number One?"
I thought to myself, No, what does this have to do with Yan Yan? Do you think I have feelings for you?
The fat guy didn't answer me. Instead, he stared at me with a complicated look in his eyes, a hint of helplessness in them.
"Actually, it's hard to say. If I had to choose, I'd rather see you with Officer Chen."
I looked at him in confusion, and the fat guy whispered, "At least Officer Chen is normal. Do you think Number One is normal?"
I thought to myself, He risked his life to save you, and in the end, he gets the label of being abnormal?
"Don't let Yan Yan hear you say that, or you'll be in big trouble."
The fat guy reacted quickly and immediately changed his tune. He quickly explained to me, "No, that's not what I meant. I just think he's a nice guy. It's just that he's too mysterious. So, if possible in the future, it's better to have less contact with him."
"There are no outsiders here. I know what you're getting at."
I rolled my eyes at the fat guy and looked at him with a scornful look.
At this moment, I didn't say anything else to him, because it was obvious that something was starting to make its presence felt between us.
The fat guy grabbed my arm and hid behind me. Hualian'er was walking towards us.
This girl used to be petite and very pretty. You could never imagine a cute girl turning into a green Medusa in an instant, with her hair swelling and taking on a very strange shape.
And her eyes stared straight at you, as if she had a million things to say.
"I think she's looking at you," the fat guy said coolly.
I thought to myself, No need for you to tell me. I can feel it too.
If this girl weren't already a non - human creature, I'd definitely have a good talk with her.
You really don't need to take me as your love rival. I have no feelings for your Officer Chen at all. But unfortunately, this is not the time to talk about this.
I forced a supremely awkward smile. My first reaction was to run. Sure enough, actions speak louder than words. My body was always more honest than my mouth.
Just as I was about to say something, my body started running first. Wait, it seemed like someone was pulling me. The fat guy was pulling my arm so hard it hurt.
"Use your head for once. This is not the time to talk nonsense. If you don't run now, when will you?"
I have to admit that at this moment, I really admired the fat guy's way of thinking. He had proven time and time again that running away was definitely a wise choice.
The fat guy rolled his eyes so hard. His arm was trembling a bit. He stared at the figure in front of him, his eyes full of stubbornness.
This cute little look would be perfect if the way he was pinching my arm from behind was a bit gentler.
As we ran, I couldn't help but banter with the fat guy. This was a kind of tacit understanding between us.
The fat guy looked back at me in surprise and dropped a bombshell.
"What are you talking about? I've got two hands. One is holding you, and the other is holding the torch. When would I have time to pinch you? Do you think I'm like you and like men? Besides, we've known each other for so many years. If I really liked good - looking guys, it wouldn't be you. I'm already sick of looking at you."
Ouch, that hurt. Wait, it wasn't just about the hurt. What did this jerk just say? Then who was the one holding me?
I looked back and saw a familiar face.
This was so awkward. I hadn't looked behind me before. Hualian'er was smiling at me, looking extremely happy.
I turned around without looking back and ran forward quickly. Behind me came the sound of intense drumbeats, just like the ancient battle songs.
Do we really need this kind of background music at this moment? Behind us was Hualian'er in pursuit, and there was also that thousand - year - old corpse.
They're both women. Who knows why women make things difficult for other women? Ugh.
"Wait a minute."
My movements suddenly stopped, and the fat guy also stopped. The two of us stared silently at the rock wall in front of us. There were pursuers behind us, and a wall in front. You tell me, should I smash my head against the wall or turn back and fight?
"Do you still have any wine?"
The fat guy asked dryly, "I still want to use the fire - attack method."
I thought to myself, Yes, but there's not much left.
The fat guy looked at the small flask of wine. "It's not even enough to light a fire, let alone burn someone."
The two of us looked at each other, gritted our teeth, and then turned around to face what was behind us.
Wait, I noticed a protruding rock wall beside me. There was a green stone beast head on it. The beast head stared at me with its big eyes, looking like an ancient mechanism.
The fat guy hadn't noticed it yet. His side was full of bloodstains. Usually, blood is red, but here it was green. I wondered how many battles had taken place.
On a whim and without consulting the fat guy, I reached out and touched the green beast head.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound. The fat guy looked back and his face turned as green as the beast head. "Are you trying to add more trouble to our situation? This is an ancient mechanism!"
"Hey, wait."
The ground beneath our feet gave way, and we fell straight to the ground. Note that it was underground. Looking at the white figure above, the fat guy and I looked at each other. For a moment, we didn't know what to do.
