Chapter 362 Another Road
"Honey-"
"Honey-"
As soon as Della left, Belinda and Zhou Yushi whispered in unison. They looked at each other with their eyes slightly widened. Zhou Yushi hesitated for a moment, then he raised his head slightly to signal Belinda to speak first.
"We can't just abandon Della like this. Can you see that? She..." Bellinda moved closer to Zhou Yushi and lowered her voice. "Not only is her body worse than last year, but her mental state is also problematic. Teenagers nowadays are prone to extremes..."
What Zhou Yushi worried about happened. At the same time, he and Bellinda had an irreconcilable disagreement.
Della Riddle was once his good colleague, whose intelligence and ability were admirable, but she was a person wanted by the Dark Lord's forces with a million wanted men.
What does the million-dollar wanted list, which has never been relaxed in the past six months, mean?
This means that even if there is a happy outcome in the end, any known delay will not end well.
"I think she's fine. Look, everything is in order here. Isn't Della always so calm?" Zhou Yushi said against his conscience. The whip tied to his wrist started to whip him again. He endured the pain under his sleeve and continued to try to persuade Belinda, "Maybe she is just right for this state now? Maybe our rash intervention in her life is not appropriate?"
"Oh my God! Is this what you were going to say? Just meet her and leave Della here alone?" Belinda kept her voice down, but her tone was trembling and fluctuating upwards. "What do you mean by suitable for this state? You should understand that suitable and getting better are not the same thing, right?"
"She is the most wanted person by the Dark Lord's forces. You know how crazy those people are," Zhou Yushi lowered his voice and changed the direction of his persuasion. "Della is determined to escape from those people. She has done it perfectly by herself now, but with the two of us as a burden, it is very likely that all her peace will be ruined."
Zhou Yushi's usual way of conversation was to shift the conflict to another person, and after slight modification, to embed his personal goals into it. This was a tried and tested trick, but he underestimated one thing - he had already been too honest with his lover.
"You told me that this is a prop that can be used to achieve the ultimate in escaping and tracking, because it has characteristics that are closely related to reality," Belinda pulled open Zhou Yushi's sleeves, revealing the white satin cloth underneath that was docile in the light. "With this, we won't be a burden."
Zhou Yushi was speechless. He said slowly, "I'm in trouble, right?"
"Yes, either Della goes with us," Belinda frowned and looked at him seriously, issuing an ultimatum, "or Della goes with me."
Zhou Yushi pursed his lips, swallowed, and didn't speak for a while.
This matter is too big, and he will be in big trouble whether he agrees or not.
"Sorry," Della came back after calming down. She had just held an ice cube wrapped in a towel, using physical cooling to calm her restlessness. She looked at Zhou Yushi's sleeves being pulled up and tilted her head. "What were you talking about just now?"
Belinda didn't speak immediately. Her amber pupils slanted towards Zhou Yushi, waiting for her lover to make a decision that would affect her choice.
Zhou Yushi felt the gaze from the trouble he was willing to spend all his time to solve, while Sichen's dark eyes looked at the pale trouble in front of him that was waiting for him to solve.
If he agreed to Belinda, both he and Belinda would risk being tortured to death by the Dark Lord.
If he didn't agree, Bellinda would risk being tortured to death by the Dark Lord, and that would have nothing to do with him... because Bell would immediately kick him out of her life!
It's a lose-lose situation. Since Bellinda has to take the risk anyway, the first one loses less.
"We were just talking about inviting you to go to Country Z with us," Zhou Yushi's heart was bleeding, and he felt that this heart would have to endure another round of burning torment in a while. "Africa O is starting to get in turmoil, and Bell and I are planning to go back to my house. If you also want to avoid the limelight, it should be a good choice to go with us."
"Yes, and I've seen the photos. His home is as beautiful as a park and absolutely suitable for living." Belinda smiled gently. She took Zhou Yushi's arm and cast a loving look at the man who made a great concession for her. "And he has a big family, many brothers and sisters. According to him, his relatives are very friendly."
Knowing that he would bring trouble back with him, this friendship would be put to the test.
Alas, fortunately there is still some buffer time before going back, otherwise he would not go home for the New Year this year.
Zhou Yushi thought about his miserable life. Della was moved when she heard Belinda read out the word "big family" in a soft voice. She remembered the happy summer vacation that the Weasley family had spent.
"I'm still wanted. This risk is too great for you," she refused rationally.
Belinda gave Zhou Yushi a look, and Zhou Yushi immediately stood up. He took off the suddenly obedient Powang from his hand and walked over to explain to Della, "We have a treasure at home that should allow you to go with us without leaving any trace. Although according to the rules only our family can use it, we can let others use it after negotiating with it."
Della looked up at Zhou Yushi. She didn't say anything in agreement, but she had already raised her hands obediently, allowing Zhou Yushi to wrap the white satin around her wrist, which was probably an excuse. How could there be such a treasure? They were too worried about her, and they actually used this excuse to make her relax -
The white satin was intertwined by itself, and in an instant, a beautiful bow was tied. The full satin seemed to slide over her arms soothingly as it slowly fell.
Della raised her right eyebrow, showing some interest in the thing in her hand.
"We found you because of it," Zhou Yushi smiled. He warned, "But you'd better not try to study it. It doesn't like that and might beat you up."
"You believe us now, don't you?" Belinda came over and held Della's hands affectionately, with an expression of heartache in her eyes. "Come with us~"
"Now?" Della asked, feeling that there was nothing to clean up.
"You have to buy some gifts before you go. Don't worry about the gifts for my family. I've already prepared them. My family has been busy with my eldest sister's affairs recently, so I can only go to my second uncle's house first," Zhou Yushi explained the situation at home. "They celebrate Christmas in a formalistic way. For the sake of courtesy, you'd better buy them some Christmas gifts."
As he spoke, Zhou Yushi saw that Della looked a little embarrassed, and thought that she couldn't stand living in a stranger's house, so he quickly added, "There is a house next to my second uncle's house that my grandfather bought for my father. There is basically no one there, so we can go and live there."
"That's not the problem," Della shook her head. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry about what she was going to say next. "I just don't have any money."
"Oh! Poor little girl! What kind of life have you been living!" Belinda's eyes became watery, and she immediately stuffed her wallet into Della's hand, "Here you go! All for you! Use it as you like!"
"Use mine," Zhou Yushi also took out his wallet and put it in Della's hand. He said very sincerely, "I shouldn't let you spend money to entertain you. Of course, I have to pay for my personal extra request."
"This..." Della felt the two heavy wallets and didn't know how to react for a moment.
"It's okay, feel free to use it," Zhou Yushi continued, "The person you are giving the gift to is a very good relative of mine, and you are a very good friend of mine and Bei'er, so don't feel any psychological burden."
Belinda listened to Zhou Yushi's words, looked at him tenderly, and almost pounced on him to kiss him.
