【127】Shadow Knight

Gu Yinglai didn't say anything, but looked at Yan Jinghong with deep eyes, which was accustomed to her guess.

"You don't need to do this!" Yan Jinghong repeated again.

Gu Yinglai also spoke, "I like to do this."

Then he emphasized, "I'm very happy to think that you might like this style."

Yan Jinghong closed his eyes gently, "Okay, as long as you are happy, aren't you going to watch a movie? It's getting late, let's go and watch it now."

"Okay, come with me."

There is a home theater on the third floor of the villa, which looks particularly like a super luxurious couple's private room in the cinema. In the huge space, there is only one sofa, which is enough to sit three or four people, but in fact, it can allow two people to sit on it, both of which look very close.

"Is it OK?" Because the decision was too sudden, the layout here did not change deliberately, and everything was arranged according to his original idea.

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

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

Gu Yinglai didn't say anything, and didn't even choose a movie. Instead, he directly pressed the Start Play button, and then the movie, or cartoon, appeared on the big screen.

"Shadow Knight" is a romantic adult cartoon produced in China more than ten years ago. The protagonist of the story is a beautiful and kind princess. Because the witch is jealous of the princess' beauty and simplicity, she uses witchcraft to turn the princess into an ugly freckled girl, thrown it into the deserted primeval forest, and begins a series of adventure stories.

In the story, the princess met an ugly black bear in the forest. The black bear was not only covered with wounds, but also blinded her eyes. She lay weakly on the ground, her eyes looking desperate and numb, as if waiting for the arrival of death.

The princess is kind. After considering it, she chose to save the black bear. It was this black bear that protected the princess' safety and eventually even sent the princess back to the king and defeated the witch.

But when everything returned to the starting point, the princess could no longer find the black bear. However, among the guards in the palace, there was a guard with one eye missing, silently and forever protecting his princess.

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

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

She felt that Gu Ying was not watching a cartoon, but was performing a ceremony.

Time passed by bit by bit, just when Yan Jinghong felt that Gu Yinglai would watch the entire cartoon silently, Gu Yinglai suddenly spoke, "Do you think it's strange?"

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

"If you want to know."

"...It's okay, you say, I'll listen." So she didn't think so.

Gu Ying bent her mouth, as if she was laughing, and Jinghong's temperament was still the same. "It was probably a kind of obsession. When I was a child, I knew you were watching cartoons with friends, so I was looking forward to it."

Yan Jinghong asked with great exploration spirit: "Are you looking forward to joining in or looking forward to watching with me?"

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

Yan Jinghong smiled. Does such a young child already have such a strong desire for possession?

"But I know, I can't do that." Gu Yinglai continued, his voice a little heavy, "I'm not qualified to do that."

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

"I am in poor health and can't be with you. It's great to have someone to accompany you." This is probably a very vague explanation. Although it is the truth, it also hides more extreme ideas.

What Gu Ying thought about was that since she could not be with her forever, she would be a lonely shadow just to protect her, just like the shadow knight in the cartoon.

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

But Gu Yinglai suddenly asked, "I like this cartoon very much, where are you?"

"Ah, that's OK. I don't think the cartoon with a bit of tragic color is suitable." When she saw it when she was a child, she felt that children shouldn't watch this kind of thing.

Gu Yinglai was stunned for a moment and asked reflexively: "Trace? How could it be a tragedy?"

Yan Jinghong was a little confused and looked at 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 his human form. However, because of his identity, he just silently guarded the princess's side and buried his love for the princess forever in the deepest part of his heart!

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

Gu Yinglai's eyes were stained with a smile. Jinghong looked so cute.

"The princess returned to the palace and lived a happy life; the witch received retribution and could no longer harm others; the knight also recovered his identity and could always guard the princess' side." Gu Yinglai analyzed one by one, "They all got what they wanted, so how could it be a tragedy?"

"But doesn't the knight like princesses? Since he likes them and is not together, of course it is a tragedy!" Yan Jinghong insisted, "The knight did not get what he wants. For him, such an ending is a tragedy!"

Gu Yinglai moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent, just looking at Yan Jinghong's gaze, with depression and helplessness.

Yan Jinghong raised his eyebrows, and did not like Gu Yinglai's attitude similar to compromise. "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

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

Yan Jinghong was very smart. At this time, he probably could understand Gu Ying's thoughts. What he was talking about might not be the knight, but he also had himself.

"...Okay, it's not a tragedy." Yan Jinghong compromised, but only half of it. "Although in my opinion, since he gave up on his struggle, he should no longer have obsessions."

Either pursue it bravely or give up decisively. Wouldn't that make yourself a tragedy if you neither pursue it nor give up?
