On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Ling followed his father to the cemetery to go to the cemetery to grave his mother according to the old rules, which is an annual practice, and Chu Ling can "meet" his mother on this day.

Laying down the chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, he stood up and said nothing.

The Tomb of the Wife's Setting Moon.

Chu Ling turned his head to look at his father on the side. Chu Tian held a cigarette in his mouth, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the tombstone so quietly, with no sadness or joy on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe there is something genetic about my silence. He thought to himself.

After a long time, Chu Tian spoke: "Your mother entrusted you to me before she died, telling me to take good care of you." I have lost your mother and do not want to lose you again. ”

When Chu Ling heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he looked at his father suspiciously, not knowing why he suddenly said these words.

Then he was stunned, his father was still expressionless, but his eyes were full of loneliness and nostalgia when he looked at the tombstone.

It's the first time he's seen such a father.

"I'm your son. He looked at the tombstone and said lightly.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Ling in some surprise when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile: "Rabbit cub." ”

After worshipping their mother, the two big men returned home and shrank back on the sofa and watched TV, chatting with each other.

This is the daily life of father and son, the familiar but plain communication, more like two old friends than father and son. But in such a life, there is a different kind of warmth and warmth.

A few days later, Chu Ling was at the airport when she saw Xie Yuwen again, she and Sister Ziyuan were about to leave, and Chu Ling went to see her off.

"Just send it here. Xie Yuwen smiled and took the suitcase in Chu Ling's hand and said.

"Well, stay safe. Chu Ling replied lightly.

On the side, Di Ziyuan covered her mouth and smiled: "Giggles, don't sprinkle dog food here, okay?"

"Sister!" Xie Yuwen turned around and exclaimed with a slight flush on her cheeks.

Chu Ling also scratched his head a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to go or go.

Seeing that Chu Ling was about to slip away quietly, a hint of cunning flashed in Ziyuan's eyes, and he smiled: "Good brother, don't you say goodbye to your sister?" ”

"Eh, hehe, Sister Ziyuan also pay attention to safety. Chu Ling said tremblingly.

Xie Yuwen glanced at her sister with some dissatisfaction, and then said, "Go back quickly." ”

"Well, there's a chance to see you again. ”

"Hey, are you 'Honghuang' going to upgrade the exam at the beginning of school. ”

Chu Ling was about to turn around and leave, and when he saw her asking, he nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

"Oh?" Xie Yuwen's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Then we won't be able to meet soon." ”

After Xie Yuwen left, Chu Ling really had nothing to do, Zhu Kui and Sun Ling were in love, so naturally they had no time to play online with fox friends like him.

Unknowingly, the holiday was coming to an end, Chu Ling finished packing, dragged the box and said hello to his father, who was sitting in the living room watching TV: "Dad, I'm leaving." ”

Chu Tian looked up at him and said with a smile, "Well, study hard." ”

"Yes, goodbye Dad. Chu Ling opened the door as he spoke, paused, and whispered, "I'll be back soon." ”

The room was quiet again, except for the monotonous and cold sound of the television. Chu Tian sat on the sofa, and one cigarette after another was lit, and then turned into smoke that filled the entire room. The living room gradually became smoky, and it was no longer possible to see the back of the man sitting in it.

Arriving in Beijing by plane, Chu Ling once again took the subway that went directly to the school, he looked at the strangers who walked on the subway with him, but he remembered his father's lonely eyes in his heart.

Is it time to say goodbye?

"Chu Ling, hey, Chu Ling!"

He suddenly woke up, followed the voice, and saw Tao Shanshan, Shana and Zhang Yan standing behind him.

"What a coincidence, you guys just arrived?" he said with a smile.

"Where do you know we've just arrived? Tao Shanshan said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with you? Seeing that you are so preoccupied, you don't agree to call you so much." ”

"Uh, haha, I thought about things, I didn't hear it. Chu Ling said embarrassedly.

Zhang Yan smiled: "It seems that you have fully recovered." ”

"Good morning, nothing too much trouble. ”

"You're really amazing, you really defeated the Thousand Miles Soul Chaser. Tao Shanshan said incredulously.

Since she was in a coma behind her, Chu Ling's victory over the Thousand Miles Soul Chasing was all heard after waking up. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so naturally it was a little hard to believe. After all, the other party still subconsciously thought that Chu Ling was a perceptual ability.

"No, it's thanks to your abilities, thank you. Chu Ling smiled and said with a serious look in his eyes.

This made Tao Shanshan a little embarrassed, Zhang Yan changed the topic in a timely manner, and said jokingly: "I heard that the upgrade assessment will be carried out at the beginning of this year, and it is really not a good thing to suddenly have such a strong opponent as you." ”

Chu Ling said in a flat tone: "I don't have any threat. ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Chu Ling with some surprise, she didn't know why, she always felt that Chu Ling was a little wrong.

It didn't take long for the school to arrive. After saying goodbye to Zhang Yan and the others, Chu Ling dragged the box back to the bedroom.

Liu Zihao hadn't come yet, he tidied up a little and lay on the bed, folded his hands behind his head, and thought silently.

That's what he planned from the beginning, to "work hard" on the upgrade assessment, and then lose and return to the world of ordinary people. Although he is still under their surveillance, it does not affect his peaceful life.

However, why, I always feel that something has changed in myself.

At this moment, Chu Ling's mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone: "Hey. ”

"Chu Ling, I heard Zhang Yan say that you have already arrived at the school, right?" Wang Haodi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

As soon as he arrived in Wang Hao, he received the news, when did he have such a good relationship with Zhang Yan? After thinking about it in his heart, Chu Ling said, "Well, what's wrong?"

"Can you come to the playground now? I'll give you a brief overview of the assessment. ”

When Chu Ling arrived at the playground, he saw his teammates at a glance, and for some reason, he felt a little relieved in his heart when he saw them.

After greeting each other for a while, Wang Hao said: "It's all here, I'll say it." The assessment is ostensibly divided into three parts, the first part is the ability display, which is to show your own ability to the greatest power for the judges to score. The second part is a personal battle, and it is a random individual battle, that is, the perception system may also encounter the elemental system and the phantom beast system. ”

Lu Han couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "What is this? Isn't that very unfair?"

"Yes, it's not fair. Unexpectedly, Wang Hao said directly and affirmatively, "According to Principal Ye's philosophy, no one can guarantee what will happen or encounter any enemies during the mission, so no matter what the situation, you must find a way to deal with it, and the evaluation is flexible scoring, and there is no fixed standard." ”

"So, is the main point of the perception department still in the first part?" Chu Ling said, holding his chin.

At this time, Rui Xue suddenly said, "On the surface, you say?"

"That's right, in fact, the previous training was a hidden score, and in this regard, I think we have some advantages. Wang Hao explained.

"What is the third part?" Lin Xi asked impatiently.

"The third part is a team battle, and it's a whole melee with all the teams at the same time!"
