Chapter 8: Humility
It was the first time Alexia had seen the boy in the eye.
Even if I saved him yesterday, even if I helped him today, it was all a matter of convenience.
I can remember his name because he is from Earth.
She has such a personality, although she has the beauty of an angel elf, but she has always been casual, to put it mildly, she is a little ruffian, and her chivalrous spirit has been fueled by years of helpfulness.
She didn't care who this young man was, but she saw humility and insignificance in his eyes, but he also had the persistence that ten cows couldn't pull back.
Therefore, she felt that she was slightly concerned, but she didn't expect this person to think about her in turn.
It's rare!
"You man, alas, how can you say hello. Alexia couldn't help but feel distressed.
Huang Guanglin wanted to show a soft smile, but his head was subconsciously lowered.
The two soon returned to the city, and Huang Guanglin pondered what he wanted to buy.
Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as rice, flour, vegetables and meat, no accident, you can officially live in the stable tomorrow, and then plan slowly.
He occasionally touched his chin when he was thinking, and then he remembered that he still had someone else's ring on his hand.
For a moment, he was a little entangled.
"Mr. Charles, can you lend me this ring for a few more days, and when I learn the spiritual language, I will return it to you immediately." ”
Ring?
Alexia was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head directly, "This thing is worthless, I'll give it to you." ”
However, the thin teenager's temper came.
"No! On Earth, rings can only be given to close people, and it's not good for me to borrow them, so I must return them!"
Alexia finally began to understand the thin boy's temperament, and for a while she had a headache.
"Okay, okay, then you slowly learn the spiritual language, and then give it to me when you learn it. ”
Lingyu is the unified language of the Lingfa Continent.
It is said that the elves learned it from the gods, and the elves later passed it on to humans.
The elves call it the word of the gods, while the humans call it the language of the spirits.
In Alexia's opinion, learning a language that she has never been exposed to before is not an easy task, and even a genius like her is not confident that she can learn it in a few months.
So, she just said that to send the bull away.
However, the bull was in mind.
The two continued to wander around the royal city, the maiden was happy to have someone to hang out with for the first time, and the boy was flattered because he was with the goddess.
Until a middle-aged beautiful uncle with blonde hair and a golden beard appeared with a guard.
"Alexia, my daughter, you have the leisure to go shopping today. ”
The middle-aged beautiful uncle, who is Alexia's father, spoke slowly, his voice loud but doting.
However, the eyes that fell on the thin boy were scrutinizing and cold.
"Lord Duke!"
The boy learned from the people around him to put his right hand on his left chest, bent down respectfully, and said nothing.
Here, it's not his turn to speak!
"Father, why are you here?" Alexia looked displeased.
The Duke smiled, "I heard that my daughter was shopping with a teenager, so I was curious to come and have a look." ”
Alexia nodded and introduced, "His name is Huang Guanglin, he is an exchange student from this issue of Earth, and now he is my friend." ”
"Oh, friend?"
The duke forced his eyes to look at the boy, and the meaning (chill) in his gaze was not too obvious.
Huang Guanglin was bitter in his heart, but his face was respectful, "Lord Duke, I am really flattered by Charles's friend. When the moon shines on the earth, it will also bring light to the dust, and the dust can be grateful for the light, but it is far away from the bright moon. Am I right, Lord Duke?"
The Duke was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, the young man has a lot of brains, and he can live a long time in the future. ”
The boy saluted again, "Thank you, Lord Duke, for the compliment." ”
And Alexia on the side turned a sinking face.
She saw her father's oppression and the humility of her youth.
After all, the boy is too thin, his eyes are easy to be cowardly, and his back is easy to bend. Even though she thought he was her friend, he relegated himself to dust.
Hum!
The girl made a face to her father angrily, but the duke patted the young man on the shoulder at this time, "Follow my daughter well, no matter how heavy the things she buys, she has to carry them." ”
Huang Guanglin was stunned.
He felt that the Duke's values were different from his own.
Here, the man who carries something behind the girl is a subordinate, but on Earth, it is a boyfriend or husband.
He will not feel ashamed, but will be honored!
So he patted his chest and promised, "That's for sure, Charles-chan is my benefactor, it's just a matter of carrying things, it's a little bit!"
The Duke left with a hearty laugh, but Alexia stared at Huang Guanglin with a gloomy face.
"Why?"
She asked, "Why are you so rightfully humble?" I said you're my friend, you just have to puff up your chest and admit it!"
The thin boy also became serious, "Being alive is an art, and humility is a kind of art." ”
"I'm not from the Spirit Law Continent, and I don't know your values, but I know that there is a hierarchy here. I'm just a wasted person with no attributes, inferior magical qualifications, and I won't have any great achievements in the future. ”
"Your friend looks up to me, but I can't be complacent because of it. Learning self-knowledge is the secret of life, or the Duke will kill me without your knowledge. ”
Alexia was annoyed, "He doesn't dare to do this, otherwise I will ignore him!"
Huang Guanglin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "By that time, I will already be dead, even if you make an awkward fuss, can you stalemate for a dead person and your father for the rest of your life?"
The blonde girl was dumbfounded.
She found that the humble bull was right, and she didn't know how to refute it.
"But," said the young man, with a sincere smile, "I am really happy that you can say that I am a friend, from the bottom of my heart!"
When it came to this, Alexia could only keep silent.
In the final analysis, she and the thin boy just met in Pingshui, and they didn't have much friendship, maybe they really just had an awkward relationship with their father.
The blonde girl is not an idle person after all, and soon said goodbye and left.
Huang Guanglin also quickly retracted his thoughts and began to purchase in the city. He was optimistic about the previous pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and soon bought them.
Luckily, he didn't have much to offer, and he was able to get the ranch back on his own.
When he had no money, he needed to be careful with his calculations, so he only bought a clay pot, a clay bowl, a clay spoon, and a clay pot. The clay pot is filled with rice, and the clay pot is filled with oil, salt and vinegar.
He borrowed a wooden box and took it all, and returned the wooden box to the family when he returned to the city.
By the time he returned to his room at the academy, it had already begun to darken.
He silently took out a loaf of bread and nibbled on it, but he felt a little stuffy with the cold boiling water.
Speaking of which, the food here seems to be similar to that of medieval Europe, not as refined as in the East.
He is a child of a modern oriental country, and it is okay to eat like this occasionally, if he eats for three or five years, he must not be crazy.
Fortunately, others will go crazy before him.
He is a child who has never been a snacking child, and he is accustomed to this kind of environment, and he can hold it up completely!
Besides, he will move out tomorrow night to live on his own, and cooking by himself will definitely be much better.
