Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Two Past

I always feel that this sentence ...... Heard a similar ...... in whose mouth the other day

"That's not right, right?" Cook looked at Sheryl depressedly, his face full of black lines, "You're strong enough, aren't you?"

"That's not enough. Sherrill just lowered his head unwillingly and muttered indifferently.

It always feels like you're playing with me...... Looking at Sheryl's lonely and unwilling expression, instead of breeding any heavy sympathy in Cook's heart, a different kind of strange feeling emerged.

Because that's the way it is, isn't it? In terms of combat alone, Sherrill has reached the top of the school, and it is more than enough to be named a strong man.

"And how can you be satisfied?" Cook sighed, not looking away, a feeling of exhaustion came over him.

"I don't know, but it has to be strong enough. Sherrel's hands gradually clenched in a slight tremble, and he raised his head, the firmness in his eyes was slightly distressing, "Otherwise, I won't even be able to touch her corners." ”

This sentence seemed to reveal Sheryl's nightmare for three years, and the atmosphere in the field became very solemn in an instant, Cook looked directly into Sheryl's increasingly persistent and determined eyes, and a feeling of oppression and cowardice slowly rose from his heart.

"I don't really understand that, but ...... It must have something to do with Elaine, right?" Cook's tone gradually became solemn, and Sheryl nodded slightly with an unwilling expression.

Alas...... Why don't you sell stomach medicine?

Cook secretly scolded in his heart with some irritability, but there was a feeling of peace and comfort in his heart, which finally made people see a glimmer of hope!

"So, is that really okay? Tell me about it......"

"I also thought about it for a long time before I made up my mind. Sheryl's fists opened slightly, and then quickly closed, "Before, I lost to you, and then to a guy who didn't even see each other, which made me realize that I was still weak. ”

"Oh...... You said that day. Cook couldn't help but think back to the previous attack, and muttered with some headache.

Although the public security forces in the imperial capital have been contacted for that incident, until now, no relevant information has been received, and no trace of the suspect has been found.

If nothing goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for assistance from Headquarters again.

"It was after that day that I realized I was ...... So, I want to ask you!" Cheryl's insistent eyes were firmly fixed on Cook's body, and the earnestness in his tone made it difficult to think of refusal.

"But what does this have to do with Elaine?" Cook tilted his head slightly, puzzled.

"This ...... Is it something that has to be said?" said Sheriel, his throat tumbling up and down, looking very reserved and embarrassed.

Cook couldn't help but feel ashamed: "No...... It's okay if you don't say it. ”

"Yes, it's something that has to be said. Sherrill was completely immersed in his inner world, and after a period of struggle, he finally gritted his teeth fiercely, and prepared to speak solemnly and with difficulty.

"Hey, don't you listen?"

"In the past......" Sherrill looked up slightly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was an opening sentence that symbolized a long memory.

"Lian and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and we are close to each other. ”

"Wow—I'm so sour!" Cook read as he pretended to exaggerate his mechanical rod, "my sister is still here, don't say anything you shouldn't say, if you prematurely open her interest in love, I'll kill you!"

Hearing this, Sheryl also stopped reminiscing and looked at Dai Lisha on the side, but found that the other party was already looking at him with starry eyes.

"Well, I'll pick the key points. Sherrill looked away and continued, "Although we have a very close relationship, our family backgrounds are very different. ”

"I was born into an ordinary family, and she is the daughter of a trading company, and in the past, because of her young age, she didn't care about these things with each other, but ...... After these reached junior high school, they began to be gradually exposed. ”

"However, at that time, I felt that I was still qualified to stand next to her because of my excellent grades, so I did not show any dissatisfaction. ”

"Hmm......" Cook asked tentatively as he looked at Sheryl with a low groan, "and then in high school, you found that you couldn't even beat her grades, so you deliberately distanced yourself from her?"

Sherrill was silent, just nodded.

"Uh...... You're estranged, and it's necessary to put that stinky face on her so often? Aren't you salting your wounds?"

"I know it's too much, but ...... I chased her silently and desperately for three whole years! I finally climbed to the position of the first person! I was finally able to feel that I was very strong! I found that she was even stronger than me! Every time I thought about this, I couldn't control my irritability!"

"And then, from that night, I finally realized that it wasn't that I was strong, but that I was too weak......"

It was only in the end that Sherrel's mood gradually calmed down, and even seemed a little sluggish.

I see, no wonder since that night, this guy has behaved so plainly in front of me, and the arrogant fireworks at the beginning were extinguished all at once, and I thought it was my personality charm that worked......

Cook sighed secretly, and his mood became complicated.

"Then you just want to get stronger again? Although he fully understood Sherrel's inferiority complex, Cook still did not show any sympathy, and only asked lightly.

"Isn't that okay? This is the only thing I can think of, and the only thing I can work towards!"

"Of course not! You're trying too far. Cook pursed his lips, then sighed and sighed, "But, sometimes, you can hit the south wall with death. ”

"You just have to keep this simplicity, and when you reconcile with her, you are apologetic to her, understand?" Although he is a little dull on weekdays, he plays the master of feelings, and Cook is extremely professional.

"So, how do I get stronger?" asked Sherrel, looking at Cook with a serious face.

"This ......" Cook was slightly stunned, and then suddenly thought of the words of Teacher Afra, looked at Sheryl with a solemn expression, and said seriously, "Go on a date with Elaine, and you can become stronger!"

It's not that Cook is not untargeted, in the past, Teacher Afra clearly said that there are some people who are very special, they dare not face up to their own abilities, but they must rely on their own abilities, although such people can reach the top, but they will not be able to advance.

Therefore, Cook made a small guess, and the fit of this type of person will also progress more slowly, especially after reaching the top level, I am afraid it will become more difficult and slow.

And Sherrill is the kind of person who has been defeated by his ability fit, but he must rely on his ability to stand by Elaine's side.

Therefore, if he can break this demon through his date with Elaine, the two of them will be able to quickly improve their compatibility, after all, the talents of these two people are extremely high.

"Are you kidding me?" Sheryl was completely unaware of this, so after listening to Cook's proposal, he was extremely annoyed, and his face turned cold.

"Don't get excited, let me explain!" Cook hurriedly calmed Sheryl's irritable mood, and then explained a wave of his own inferences by the way.

"Yes...... "After listening to Cook's explanation, Sheryl's expression became complicated again, and his dim eyes stared fixedly at the table, "In the end, this is just your personal inference, right? There is no basis to prove it." ”

"However, if you continue like this, you are destined not to advance to the second order, and it is only a matter of time before you are thrown away by Elaine. Cook cruelly stated the truth, "It's up to you whether you continue to struggle so painfully, or give it a go as soon as possible." ”

A trace of unwilling pain suddenly crossed Sheryl's dim eyes, and even his body trembled slightly.

After a long time, a determined voice came from his mouth, causing Cook's eyes to widen in surprise.

"I get it, and I'll try to try it the weekend after tomorrow. ”

"Really, you're going to ask her out? Are you sure? Don't think about it again?" Cook asked four questions in a row, but they were mixed with a deep sense of relief and surprise.

Sherrill was silent, only nodding heavily and reluctantly, showing his determination.

"Sheryl, you have to remember, you are a man, you can't go back on what you say!" Cook said solemnly, putting his hands heavily on Sheryl's shoulders.

Sherrill got up directly and changed back to his previous indifferent tone: "I won't go back on my promise, and it's not too early, so you better go back quickly." ”

After saying this, Sheryl turned around directly, and left here without looking back, presumably to go back earlier and make some mental preparations.

Cook let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the gloom accumulated in his heart had completely dissipated.

Their small team, at first glance, really has no problems, and they have all the cooperation they should have, and they have not lost so far.

However, in fact, Sheryl and Elaine are completely incompatible, and throughout the game, either Sheryl and Cook talk, or Elaine and Cook talk, and the atmosphere between the two is awkward and dignified.

This is also the biggest problem of their team, if it is discovered and used by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will directly open a breakthrough between their teams, thus making them fall into disadvantage.

Especially when facing the last Xeon squad that Elaine is worried about, this breakthrough will become the key to death.

Therefore, it would be great if these two could settle their past suspicions on a date the day after tomorrow.
