Should Lan Li help Evans?

Quietly staring at the panicked Evans, deep down, in fact, Lan Li understood Edith's feelings a little: that kind of wholehearted love, desperate like a moth to a fire, knowing that it was dangerous, but still rushed over, even at the expense of showing his vulnerability in front of the enemy, this kind of scorching and hot love was enough to melt, and even the heart began to tremble slightly.

But Lan Li remained calm.

"Are you sure you chose the right person to ask for?" Lan Li said calmly with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.

Evans was a little confused, and looked at Lan Li with a puzzled face, not understanding the meaning of this sentence: shouldn't he come to Lan Li for help?

Lan Li wanted to support his forehead, and after getting used to the master's moves, he suddenly needed to explain his words and deeds, and this rhythm was really difficult to adapt to.

"I don't like you, but I'm definitely on Edith's side: if you hurt Edith, then I won't let you go, and if you don't hurt Edith, but Edith chooses to keep you out, then I'm definitely with it. Whatever the case, I won't be able to help you, and besides, I've told you long ago that I don't like you. So, are you sure you want to keep asking me for help now, or are you going to think I'm going to help you?"

The slow words revealed a coldness, obviously experiencing a heat that was almost heat stroke outside, but now he felt the biting cold of the extreme cold winter, so that Evans's whole body stiffened, his brain was completely frozen, and he couldn't think at all.

"I'm ......," Evans opened his mouth, his words a little difficult, "I just want to know if she's okay, and that's enough." Evans raised his eyes to look at Lan Li, his eyes full of sincerity, and the deep worry couldn't be concealed, "She ...... Are you alright?"

Lan Li admitted that Evans gave the right answer.

Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and muttered: Edith is really ...... Now even the emotional problems are thrown at him to clean up the mess? He is not the trash can of his bosom sister! Forget everything and throw it here, what the hell is going on? That guy owes himself a favor, and when he turns around, he will definitely pit her hard.

This question should be answered by herself. Why don't you tell me first, why didn't she answer your call?" Lan Li was not so easily impressed, who knows if Evans was using a bitter meat trick, so he would not be easily fooled, and threw the question back with a rhetorical question.

Evans was slightly stunned, unexpectedly, Lan Li was unwilling to reveal even the most basic information-Could it be that Edith had warned Lan Li in advance not to leak the news easily? Does this mean ...... Did Edith really block herself outright?

Lan Li didn't know what Evans was making up in his head, but he noticed that Evans's pupils were trembling slightly, and his whole mind was obviously very confused.

“…… I ......" Evans' words were a little difficult, and he turned his head to look around, Ryan and Paul were standing at the door of the common room chatting, their eyes drifting towards their positions from time to time, as if Evans might bully Lan Li, with a clear warning in his eyes.

Evans smiled bitterly, but found that the corners of his mouth could not be raised, he really didn't have the heart to care about anything else now, all his mind was worried about Edith.

"I'm worried about her. Evans's thinking is still not very clear, recently, he can't sleep at all, he just squinted his eyes and lay down for forty minutes last night, and when he got up in the morning, the whole person was in a trance - he even considered whether he would be absent from today's premiere, but he had to come, in order to cheer for Lan Li, and even more so to talk to Lan Li in person, no matter what the reason, he could not be absent.

“…… She went to Turkey, she went to the front lines of chaos, she put herself in a dangerous position...... I know that everything she does is for the sake of justice, and I know all of that...... But...... I couldn't help but worry about her, she was dancing like she was dancing on a rope, and her life was in danger all the time...... I don't know how to dissuade her...... I'm really, really worried about her......"

“…… After she came back from Turkey, she became very tired and I was worried about her physical and mental state, she needed help...... But she told me that maybe she would come back at the end of the year, I don't know...... I mean...... I, I really don't know...... Why...... She...... Why did she put herself in such a dangerous situation, why did she carry the whole world on herself......"

"I mean, aren't you worried about her? She's risking her life, and she's going to die at any moment! You know what? You know how it feels like to have her name on the TV news at any time? I know it's very selfish and stupid to think like that, but I don't want her to be a superhero, I just want her to be Edith, my Edith, I just want her to live well. ”

Evans was a little incoherent, and his fragmented words could not convey the meaning clearly, but they were able to convey the truest feelings in his heart.

Lan Li tried to refute, he could find countless loopholes in Evans's words, and every sentence could be refuted, but he finally held back and let Evans finish his words, he didn't want to look at Evans from a "critical" point of view, because this was Evans and Edith's matter after all, and his intervention would become an unknown in this relationship, he wasn't sure, and he didn't want it to be so.

But Evans still felt the emotion in Lan Li's eyes, and the condescending judgment touched Evans's sensitive nerves, and he immediately became excited.

"Don't judge me with that look! Don't! Don't think you're a god on the high! I know I'm too selfish, but if something happens to Edith, is it okay for you? Can you accept it? Tell me, if Edith really can't come back, you can accept it? If you support Edith to go to the front and she leaves forever, you won't feel guilty at all?"

Evans's excitement and excitement made him lose control a little, and he suddenly took a step forward towards Lan Li, and then Ryan and Paul rushed over immediately, "Lan Li!"

"I'm fine. Lan Li waved his hand at Ryan and Paul, "I'm fine, we're just ...... I am fine. Evans stared at Lan Li with red eyes, which gave Lan Li no time to explain too much, so Ryan and Paul stepped back, their eyes met Evans without showing weakness, and they were silent.

After Ryan and Paul stepped back and left, Lan Li responded.

"Me. I. I. I, I, I, I, I. Without too many words, Lan Li said calmly, a sharp mockery flashed in his eyes, "Have you noticed? Your words are all 'me', you take into account your emotions, your emotions, your worries, and your anger, so, what about Edith's?"

"I have to correct one of your opinions: Edith is not yours, nor mine, nor the Hall, she is her own! You are not qualified to bind her because of your love, you are not qualified to bind her because of your attachment, she must live because of your love? Just because of your worries, she must live in a proper manner? It doesn't matter if she becomes a soulless Barbie?"

One sentence after another, Lan Li's words slammed into Evans' chest: he was angry, he was really angry.

Because he now finally understood Edith's tiredness and sleepiness, and thinking back to the day Edith had returned to London, he couldn't hold back his anger, and had to use all his strength to restrain the urge to swing his fist at Evans—the damned selfish bastard!

"How dare you!" Evans also gritted his teeth, his eyes red and pressed towards Lan Li, at this time he had completely forgotten Lan Li's deterrent power, and just pressed forward with his body, creating physical oppression, "Don't talk about those truths! Tell me, do you want Edith to die like this? Ahhh

"No, I don't want to, but I'm not going to keep her in a cage for fear of her death! She's not your canary, understand?" Lan Li also slammed back without showing weakness, and stood in front of Evans with an even more powerful momentum, instantly making the "Captain America" extremely small.

"I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm worried all the time when she's in such a dangerous situation! But I know that that's her choice! That's her life! That's her dream! She needs our support! When she's fighting alone on the front lines, do you think she's not afraid? Do you think she's going to want to lose her life like this? No, she needs help and support too!"

"Yes, you're right! She needs help! So, where were you when she needed it most? Tell me, where the hell are you? I know the answer—you turn your back to her and tell her that you don't support her dreams! You don't support her choice! You want her to fall back into mediocrity! And now, you're asking for my support? What are you thinking? Do you think I'm going to stand against Edith for you? Do you think I'm going to strangle Edith's soul for your selfishness? I thought you shouldn't be so stupid!"

Lan Li's words were like sharp blades, and one after another fell on Evans's body, cold-blooded and cruelly left a deep invisible wound, dripping with blood and scarring.

Evans was a little devastated, his pupils shaking violently, trying to say something, trying to cry out for help, only to find that all the sounds were stuck in his throat, and finally he just fell into a panic helplessly and confusedly, "But...... But...... She's not alone now, she still has me, she has her family, she has responsibilities, doesn't it matter? Shouldn't she think about that?"
