Later that day, Qiao Xiying babbled a lot. Yan Xuemeng always held her chin lightly and listened to her tell the story of these girls' families.

"Last time...... Last time I was deceived by that bad guy in Group A! he took advantage of my feelings for Senior Brother Lonely City to cheat our group's ore veins. ”

"I was shocked when I found out! But...... But the villain who always called me a crybaby, he didn't listen to me at all, and he was going to put me in prison. ”

"It's dark and cold in the cell, I'm really scared! At the same time, I'm very angry, angry that he will punish me without saying anything, I have made up my mind, I will never pay attention to him again!"

"But I didn't expect that he would say that no matter what punishment I was going to receive, he would be with me...... Because I am his soldier, I have made mistakes, and he cannot stay out of it. And, when he said that, he really did......"

"He runs with me, washes my clothes, and eats the little greens that don't have a little oil or water...... I don't understand why he did it, but ...... Maybe because he is the coach, but he is willing to lead by example, the rebellious mood in my heart has really dropped a lot......!

"What touched me the most was when he assured me that he would kill the liar who was taking advantage of me for me. He said that we were his soldiers, and we could be punished whatever we wanted behind closed doors, but when we were outside, we just couldn't let anyone bully us. ”

"I've seen a coach like Feng Qiwu, who is iron-blooded and ruthless, and punishes people if he disagrees, and I've also seen a coach like Young Master Lilin, although it always feels like a spring breeze, but it's a coach who will make everyone willing to obey. But I haven't seen it...... Like him, a coach who will accompany every subordinate through thick and thin. I thought, maybe that's his special personality......"

"Anyway, since that time, I've been quite convinced of him. But if anything, it may not be the only one...... As early as when he saved my senior brother and told me to go down on my own strength in the Chiyan Ancient Tree Space, I was convinced of him......

Qiao Xiying's confession is really very strange. Akari is denouncing the "bad guy" who bullied her, but if you listen closely, you can clearly hear some unusual feelings from her words.

"So now, he is trapped in Gengcheng, I still believe that he must be working hard to live! So, I will do my best to make him worry-free. ”

Hearing this, Yan Xuemeng finally laughed: "The person you are talking about is Ye Shuo." ”

"yes, he's really an amazing person. Holding her knees with her hands, Yan Xuemeng whispered softly, her eyes seemed to fall into memories, "Obviously he is not handsome, his emotional intelligence is not high, his personality is not interesting enough, and he still talks about a bunch of big truths all day long, and he can't find anything good all over his body, but he just has a charm that can attract girls, so that many people will like him unconsciously." ”

Qiao Xiying also nodded approvingly. But as soon as this head was clicked, she blushed, and immediately raised her voice and retorted:

"Who...... I've always liked Senior Brother Lonely City, how can I like him......"

Yan Xuemeng took her shoulder funny, and the two girls made a mess.

"Uh, did anyone say that you were interested in him? I didn't say anything just now?"

"Oh, Sister Xuemeng, you hate it!"

……

In the evening, the city was freed from the smoke of war, and the moonlight poured out, shrouding the entire city in a rare silence.

Jian Zhiheng fell asleep groggily. Since the battle with Qinglan that day, he was attacked until he was seriously injured and near death, and his life bar was once struggling on the edge of the red line. After returning to the city, he was in a coma until now, and the other trialists took turns to take care of and feed the medicine every day.

Fortunately, although several wounds were deep and critical, under Yan Xuemeng's careful treatment, Jian Zhiheng's injuries slowly stabilized. Now, there is no need for others to deliver spiritual power to him, and in his body, he can derive new spiritual power by relying on the normal operation of the spiritual core alone.

If this continues, as long as he does not receive new fatal injuries in the next period of time, he can completely hold out until the end of the trial and welcome the dawn of victory with everyone.

And on this night, in the hazy darkness, a dark shadow crept close to his bedside -

The man was holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and under the night, the medicinal soup was even more black as ink.

At this moment, the man was carefully stirring the medicine bowl with a spoon. After a while, he scooped up the medicinal soup and sent it to Jian Zhiheng's mouth.

Jian Zhiheng subconsciously opened his mouth and drank it. Spoonful after spoonful, although it tasted the same as the medicinal soup he drank on weekdays, but this time, for some reason, there was always a very intimate feeling......

Who is ......?

In his sleep, Jian Zhiheng raised his hand with difficulty, but all he caught was a fog. The figure seemed to turn into green smoke, and gradually moved away from him—

No, can't let him go...... Jian Zhiheng always felt that he should be a very important person. If you let him go, you will lose him......

To wake up, to wake up...... Jian Zhiheng struggled in the darkness of half-dreaming and half-awake, and finally, his eyes opened in the darkness of reality, and what he saw from a distance was a familiar back.

The man had already walked to the door and seemed to be about to push it away. But even in such darkness, Jian Zhiheng will never admit his mistake. He turned out to be ......

"Linden!" Jian Zhiheng exclaimed. I was shocked to feel that I had been in a coma for days, and my voice was already so hoarse.

At the beginning, Guan Lin fought all his physical strength in the battle with Su Shi'an, and after he came back to participate in the celebration banquet, he has been lying in bed to rest. In this large rear area that has lost protection, he is also one of the "wounded soldiers".

Even when he was fighting with Qinglan, he was still seriously injured and did not wake up, but now the situation is reversed, just in the past few days, he has woken up, but he is sick.

Guan Lin's figure paused slightly, but still turned his back to him, and turned to the window, gently pushing open the two windows that had been closed for too long. A cool night breeze poured in, and the room was cold, but it also made the two people in the room regain some consciousness.

"Ah Heng, is it true to that girl?" Guan Lin said softly, and his somewhat cold tone made Jian Zhiheng feel as if he had returned to the place of acquaintance, the period when he trapped himself in a closed world and rejected everyone.

Jian Zhiheng sighed silently. This time the matter is a big trouble, his battlefield confession, the whole group knows, Guan Lin has also heard about it, and it is also inevitable.

I think that Xu Miyi once said that choosing Qinglan means abandoning Guan Linden. But Jian Zhiheng disagrees with such a statement. And he also believes that his brother Guan Lin is definitely not such an unreasonable person.

Since this problem always has to be faced, let's talk openly and honestly with Linden. Jian Zhiheng thought about it like this, but nodded in response: "She is the first girl who can make me feel my heart beating, I don't want to miss her." ”

He replied naturally, without any distraction. And he originally thought that this was not a thing worth feeling sorry for.

"Then if I object to you being together, will you be willing to give her up for me?" Guan Lien's question was both expected by Jian Zhiheng and unexpected by him.

After talking to Xu Miyi at the beginning, he had thought about this issue carefully.

As for how to deal with the demarcation between love and friendship, it cannot be blurred, it cannot be false, it is really there, and only by facing it can it be solved!

After pondering for a while, Jian Zhiheng raised his head, stared at Guan Lin's somewhat lonely and distant back, and replied seriously:

"Linden, I have always felt that love is not only my business, but also my business. I said it was because I chose it, after all, it was a girl who wanted to spend my life with myself. I say it's not because I don't want Linden to feel abandoned. Even if I become a husband and a father in the future, Linden will always be my most important friend!"

"Therefore, I will not give up my love because of Linden's opposition. But I won't ignore Linden's feelings. Therefore, I will definitely work hard so that you can also understand her more comprehensively and accept her!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a long silence in the room.

Perhaps, it is the distance between the past and the present, and between the present and the future.

Even if they all wanted to stop here, they would always come, and this boundary would always need to be crossed.

For a long time, Guan Lin sighed softly. The white mist floating outside the window was quickly engulfed by the boundless night.

"It's lonely. ”

"Because of my existence, Ah Heng has never been able to fall in love. ”

Jian Zhiheng was slightly stunned, but Guan Lien had already kept talking.

"I think, Ah Heng is not unable to have a good impression of girls, but every time you think of me, when you think of me, when you think that if I don't have your company, you may not be able to live, you subconsciously choose to suppress your feelings, so over time, you have become unable to love, unable to love. ”

"It's me who has made Ah Heng live so hard for so many years. ”

Jian Zhiheng was speechless. Perhaps what Guan Lin said is indeed part of the reason. During the three years of the Higher Department, he has always been inseparable from Guan Lin. He wants to implement his promise with practical actions.

I'm not going to leave easily.

I won't leave you alone in the darkness again.

I'm not going to be like that girl in the elementary school and let you get hurt again.

When he already has the idea of "I won't find happiness alone", even if he meets a girl he likes, his instinct will refuse for him.

However, if his feelings for those girls are not strong enough to overcome the instinct of self-blockade, then he feels that even if he misses them, there is no pity.

But only sunny blue...... It was she who regained the ability to love. Maybe she was the key that allowed him to leap from the past to the future, and she was the important person who changed the relationship between the three!

In fact, seeing Jian Zhiheng's pain, Guan Lien was even more painful than him.

He admitted his selfishness, including these words spoken today, in fact, Jian Zhiheng did not need to explain to him at all. But he explained it anyway...... And he said, I won't be with her until you can accept her, which is my respect for you.

Seeing him love so hard, so wronged, all for his own brother who is deeply wounded...... Maybe it was his misfortune that he met him.

"I also understand that Ah Heng will leave me one day, we will all have a new life, and I shouldn't always be willful and exclusive to you. So I also secretly made up my mind, if Ah Heng can really meet a good girl, I will bless you. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head suddenly: "But, this time, that girl, she hurt you so badly, she has no heart, and she is not your good match." ”

"I don't know what the best love should look like, but I do know that it shouldn't be accompanied by hurt at least. ”

So, he has already made a decision. If Jian Zhiheng wants to go to a new page in his life, he will also accompany him to go down. It's just that......

"Ah Heng, your character is so helpful, can you really tell what love is and what is the heart of salvation?"

Jian Zhiheng didn't even have to think about it, he replied with a smile: "I can understand." ”

"I know that my love is born of salvation for Qinglan, but not love for Qinglan. ”

"I know what I'm doing. ”

Guan Lin smiled helplessly: "I also know that your decision will never be changed because of other people's opposition." ”

"Oh well. When he raised his head again, his long hair was slightly fluttered by the night breeze blowing through the window, but the smile on his face was clean and bright like never before.

"But don't forget that you promised me that you need to prove to me that she's fit to be with you. I'm much stricter than yours. You must not fall in love with her until I accept it. ”

This time, Jian Zhiheng also smiled sincerely: "I promise you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the knot that had plagued them for a long time was finally completely untied.

In fact, Jian Zhiheng has long known that A linden is no longer the A linden of the past.

The moment he broke off with Su Shi'an with his own hands, he stepped out of the shadows of the past. He was already an independent person, not just snuggled up behind him, the child who was afraid of the dark.

This time, he deliberately questioned himself by throwing a tantrum, and he was only worried that he was not a person. Because he had been in a wrong relationship, he didn't want to meet the wrong person as well.

However, he will definitely prove to him that Qinglan is a girl worthy of his love.

Of course, he will also let Qinglan understand that Guan Lin will always be his most cherished good brother.

This showdown may be a sign that the two are about to embark on different paths. But their hearts will be more closely united at an equal level.
