"Curious?"

He continued, "Yes, just like how you are curious about me."

Was he trying to get close to her out of curiosity?

At first, Su Xu really thought that it was a coincidence that she had met Lin Zixia by accident, but as the number of times increased, she felt that something was wrong. How could there be so many coincidences? Some could only have been deliberately arranged by humans. She knew that there wasn't anything that would attract her attention, but today, she coincidentally met Lin Zixia again. This caused her to be suspicious, and so she asked him.

"We have the same experience. I have mentioned this more than once, and it is for this reason that I am interested in you." Lin Zixia replied quickly, "Su Xu, we are of the same species, so I naturally pay attention to you. I admit that I was trying to get close to you out of instinct, looking for someone of the same kind."

Su Xu felt that the credibility of this was only 50%.

"This time around, how did you know I was going to the mountain outside the city?" she asked again.

Lin Zixia leaned his shoulders against the table and said, "If I were to say that this was all a coincidence, would you believe me?"

"Do you think I would believe it?"

Lin Zixia spread out her hands. "But this is the truth."

Su Xu was depressed, she thought Lin Zixia taking her to the alley was a hint that he was going to approach him.

So she went to the seaside according to his preference, and the silence in the car stopped the superfluous words, just to lure out some words from Lin Zixia on the seashore in the blue sky, for example, why she approached him, how she found out about her itinerary, and even more so, Su Xu suspected that he knew that today was her real birthday.

But now, no matter what Su Xu asked, Lin Zixia's answer was very logical, but it was not the truest answer. He was still hiding something.

This made Su Xu unable to figure it out, as if she couldn't figure out Lin Zixia.

Every time he was alone with Su Xu, he would say something unexpected. He would say something about his similar experiences with her, about how difficult it was when he first started working in the group, and like today, he would mention some matters of his youth. Lin Zixia seemed to view her as someone who was extremely familiar with her, but every time she mentioned personal matters, she would stop at that point, as if she were someone who was familiar with people and could not be trusted at the same time.

Su Xu remembered all of these contradictions in her heart.

"Su Xu, are you very confused? Or do you think there are other tricks to this? "

The smile on Lin Zixia's face was extremely faint. He gazed at the seaside, and extended his hand to the shop owner, asking him to bring a few jars of wine over.

"It is only natural that you should be so suspicious. "Su Xu, do you have a feeling that after experiencing a change in your background and seeing that the people around you are hostile towards you, you suddenly feel that the people around you are no longer trustworthy, very few people can enter the mental state, and are always on guard against everyone. Even those who come to talk, they will always have a suspicious attitude."

He was saying something similar to what he had been hiding from her for a long time.

However, Lin Zixia ended the call right away, and he said, "This is the kind of state that allows me to find my own kind out of need. Su Xu, because I saw that you and I have some similarities, I did everything I could to get close to you so that we could be allies in this world where the strong preys on the weak. But the competition between the two families, and my unquenchable wariness, brought me close to you and at the same time scrutinized you. "

After listening in silence, Su Xu suddenly felt that her decision to come to the beach this time was still correct.

Looking at the jar in Lin Zixia's hand, Su Xu opened her mouth and said, "Eating seafood is not suitable for drinking."

Lin Zixia shook his head, showing that he didn't mind, "I'll drink less." He looked up at Su Xu, continuing the topic, "Su Xu, what I just said, you might understand what I mean?"

Su Xu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to give up eating. She took a pot of wine, opened it and lightly clinked it with Lin Zixia's cup: "When you told me these words, you had already let go of your wariness, and wanted to be my true friend?"

"Friends?" Lin Zixia raised his eyebrows at her.

Su Xiao sipped the wine nonchalantly. She had purposely changed the name 'ally' to 'friend', and sure enough, Lin Zhexia laughed.

Not only did Lin Zixia have to scrutinize her for so long, but not only at this moment, but even in the future, Su Xu would not be able to agree to this term. Just like Tang Luoye once said, as the shareholder of the Tang clan, she could not be easily won over.

She said, "Lin Zixia, I cannot agree to be your so-called ally, but I can say that the similar experiences between us can indeed make me understand something that others cannot understand about you. Once, at a dinner party, you asked me if we were friends. If you think it's feasible, we can get rid of the perfunctory generalities and try to be true friends, without interest, without entanglement, without trickery, without using each other. "

"If you agree to be friends, not allies, then we will continue to walk on the beach and look at the sea. If that doesn't work, then let's go home now. However, after today, do not ever mention anything about our allies again. Do not ever try to get close to me either, because no matter what, I will not abandon the Tang clan's alliance with outsiders. "

Lin Zixia finished the wine in the jar and used his strength to pinch the can into a distorted shape.

He stood up and put down the money he owed on the table. Then, he lifted his foot and left. "Let's go and walk on the sand."

Looking at Lin Zixia's back as she led the way, Su Xu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Lin Zixia turned around and saw that she was walking slowly, so she stopped to wait for her, "I say, new friend, can't you move faster? The sea water is rising soon."

Su Xu couldn't help but smile and quicken her pace. This was good, even if she was ridiculed by Lin Xia, she didn't want to see the dark and sinister feeling that came naturally when he didn't laugh.

Although Lin Zixia's name had the meaning of being longer than summer, he didn't inherit the heat of the summer solstice like his name.

On the contrary, when Su Xu first met him, she just felt that Lin Zixia's cold temperament made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know what exactly he had experienced in his growing up to make him feel like this.

After that, they gradually got to know each other, and only then did she realize the other side of Lin Zhexia's appearance. There were also times when she could smile, and only then could she not see those cold and dark thoughts on him.
