MTL - Stone Gambler (Orc)-Chapter 55 epiphany
Bai Zishi sat on Vincent's back, and the exclamation sounded one after another was thrown farther and farther by them. He lay on the soft fur of the orc, and Bai Zishi's doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger. significance? Every time they saw themselves sitting on the back of Vincent's beast, it seemed that everyone's reaction was extremely violent.
The school is not far from home, and at Vincent's speed, it only takes two or three minutes to get there. A match has been going on for almost a day, and it is already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Back in the room, Bai Zishi got into the bathroom first, took a good shower, and stayed beside the stone breaker for a long time, covered in woolen stone chips and powder, making him extremely uncomfortable. When he came out, Vincent was already busy in the kitchen, so he hurried in to help. When it comes to cooking, Bai Zishi feels very embarrassed. Every time he asks Vincent to do it, he is almost the only one waiting to eat.
However, those kitchen utensils in the kitchen are too heavy. There is no way, it can be moved, but it is difficult to wave it for a long time, and Vincent eats much more, and the weight of cooking is much larger, so it is even more difficult to wave it. So every time he can only help out in the kitchen, helping a little, and more often giving suggestions on recipes. But today he just finished taking a shower, and was pushed out by Vincent as soon as he entered the kitchen.
Bai Zishi, who couldn't compete, sat in the living room and looked back at Vincent's busy back. After witnessing such a scene today, he suddenly felt a little guilty and insulted Vincent. From the proud son of heaven to cooking for himself, such a difference made Bai Zishi a little uncomfortable. Of course, at the same time, there was a huge sense of sweetness and vanity.
Bai Zishi, who was reading with a book, didn't notice that he was fascinated by looking at Vincent's back. When Vincent came out with the food, he saw the Little orc man's black eyes staring at him, full of tenderness. Putting the food on the table, the orc frowned and smiled: "What's wrong? Looking at me like this?"
Only then did Bai Zishi realize that he had been looking at Vincent all the time, he put down the book he hadn't read in his hand, walked to the dining table and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought that you are so much attention today, it's a bit unreal It feels like... you're cooking for me, it's stressful..."
This was half a joke and half serious, but Vincent paused, looked up at Bai Zishi, and said in a cold voice as firm as a stone, "Even if this is the case, I will not let go." When he came back with Bai Zishi He thought of this when he returned to Yacheng. He thought that after returning to Yacheng, his current reputation would make Bai feel distant from him. However, when the little orc man handed him the blood jade, He never thought of letting go.
Bai Zishi was stunned. Isn't the reaction a bit big? The atmosphere in the living room gradually became silent. Looking at Vincent's sharp black eyes, Bai Zishi felt like a prey being watched by a hunter. Thinking of what happened along the way, Bai Zishi suddenly realized, he Ask thoughtfully: "Vincent, the three-year contract...do you never intend to fulfill it?"
The orc was a little caught off guard by this sudden question, but now, there is nothing to hide: "Yes and no, I want to be your official partner in three years, and our watchman's contract will naturally be terminated at that time." Now." Instead, the partnership contract.
Bai Zishi was immediately annoyed. He didn't expect Vincent to kidnap on purpose, what a three-year contract! After three years, he never thought of rescinding the contract with himself!
"Then the three-year contract was just a lie?" the Asian orc man asked, not intending to let him go. The orc shook his head: "No, the three-year agreement is indeed true. I am indeed interested in your luck, but besides you, I plan to find someone else. But you have walked this way, and I am even more sure that you may That's who I'm looking for."
That's about the same. At least he wasn't fooled, and now that he has decided to try with Vincent, it doesn't make much sense to pursue the past. Bai Zishi hummed a few words of 'treacherous' and the matter was over.
But...Thinking of his original plan, Bai Zishi is a bit complicated. He doesn't have the determination like Vincent at all, he just wants to work hard for the future of the two of them, but if they really can't be together, he doesn't want to force it, but Wen Center doesn't seem to think so. Isn't it too negative to think about myself like this?
Seeing Bai Zishi's hesitation, Vincent's eyes flashed a little darkly: "Bai, don't you...don't want to be my partner? Do you think that after the three-year contract is over, you will terminate the contract with me?"
Uh... Bai Zishi is a bit difficult to answer this question, but since the two of them have talked so far, let's explain it openly and honestly.
"That's not the case." Bai Zishi thought for a while, "I really haven't considered becoming a partner, and I always feel that it's quite far away. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the future, and no one knows what will happen in the future. One day we will be happy, and one day we may not be destined. I have thought a lot these days. I should really like you, so I want to work hard for us to be together for a long time. But, Vincent, I'm sorry , I don't have the determination you have."
To be precise, he has no intention or mental preparation to start a family with a man and play a female role in this family. Because it was hopeless for him to be a partner with Vincent. Their situation is not the same as that of the GAYs on the earth. No GAY on the earth needs to bear the burden of childbearing, but here, he can't do the most basic things in the family. He doesn't have the function of a woman, so he can't have a child , he also couldn't accept that as a male, he would give birth to a life. Although everyone here thinks he is a sub-orc man, he knows it himself. His name is Bai Zishi, and he is a man from the earth.
And there is the most critical point - in the Boya Continent where the average age reaches 150, the powerful sub-orcs can even live to 190 years old, his life span is only half of others. People in the Boya Continent will not grow old until they are a hundred years old, but he may show signs of aging only when he is fifty years old, and fifty years old is the youth of a beastman.
How does such a gap make him think about the future? Sometimes he wondered if he shouldn't have given Vincent any hope in the first place. However, facing Vincent's liking and his dependence on Vincent, he couldn't say no to him. Because if you don't refuse, there may be a way to solve these problems, but once the rejection is true, there is no hope at all.
The phrase 'for them to be together for a long time' is not a joke. Bai Zishi noticed the changes in himself. His already formed bones began to develop again, and his strength also increased. His teeth became stronger and even sharper. His hair grew slowly. He has been here for nearly a year, but only grow near the earlobe. He felt that he was being assimilated by this world, and his body seemed to become lighter. The feeling of being pressed by something when he first arrived here gradually disappeared. Half a year ago, when he was pulled away by Bixi, his skin would have bruises, but the last time he was hit by Bette Turand so hard, there was no problem, but he was swollen. He even suspects that the hard work at the beginning and the later "smartness" are all the result of assimilation.
It was these changes that gave Bai Zishi some confidence. In the earth novels he has read, the protagonist travels through another world and often mentions this problem of assimilation. Those are all references from Bai Zishi, and some solutions are mentioned in it, the most common ones are cultivation and heaven and earth treasures. Cultivation does not conform to the actual situation, and the other is the treasures of heaven and earth...Treasures of heaven and earth not only need money, but more importantly, they can be sought but not met.
Therefore, he can only work hard for it, and cannot give Vincent more promises.
After listening to Bai Zishi's words, Vincent was silent for a while, reached out and hugged him into his arms, and locked him tightly: "I didn't think about it. Then start thinking about it now. If you don't have a resolution, then I will help you make up your mind. Anyway, Wait until tomorrow, everyone will know that you are my partner, even if we have not established a real partnership contract."
"...What do you mean?" Bai Zishi frowned slightly, as if something was wrong.
Vincent smiled happily: "I invited you to sit on my back, and you didn't refuse." Sometimes he was a little annoyed by Bai Zishi's ignorance of common sense, and sometimes he was very thankful.
The Little orc man had a bad premonition: "...Is there any special meaning in this?"
"Only the partner of an orc can sit on the back of an orc. The moment you sit on it, you have already recognized the identity of my partner."
"...I don't know about this." Bai Zishi turned his head silently, but he knew that even if he said this, it would not help the matter. On the day of the dance, in the arena today, I don't know how many people saw it. How could he explain it to everyone? Go, besides, the two of them are really a couple.
The figured-out Bai Zishi gritted his teeth: (#‵皮′) Convex...Vincent, you are too treacherous!
Vincent rubbed his cheek and smiled: "Bai, you proposed to me first."
What? ! ! "Impossible!" These three words were loud and firm.
"Are you sure?" the beast asked calmly.
"...No, I'm not sure." Bai Zishi became depressed. He didn't even know that only a beastman's partner could do it. Could it be that he really made a marriage proposal unintentionally? However, he didn't remember what special thing he did? In addition to giving a piece of blood jade as a living... fee...
Send blood jade! Bai Zishi was startled, and raised his head: "The blood jadeite?"
"Remember?" Vincent smiled, "Holding the emerald in his hand, he asked the orc to support him. This is the marriage proposal of the sub-orc."
TAT... Bai Zishi is sad and angry, what could be more stupid than sending himself out in a daze? ! No wonder Vincent had such a strange expression at that time. Call you cheap! Call you cheap!
But in any case, the facts have been established, and you can't go back on your word.
"So, are there... no problems in your family?" This was the last question.
