25. Returning Home (I)

Zhang Longqian couldn't accept it.

She never imagined that the academy that Bai Lu had always been fascinated by would be such a cruel place.

Yes, she has indeed been in a large gang like the Yulin Society for several years, and with her position, she has seen a lot of cruelty even worse than this, she is no longer an innocent high school girl who thinks the world is very beautiful, but she still can't accept it.

Because this time it was not her enemies who had nothing to do with her, nor those who had nothing to do with her, but her closest friends!

How can they be allowed to stay in a place like this?

Looking at those students who were surrounded by cruelty and death but still talked and laughed calmly, Zhang Longqian gritted her teeth, and she was not in the mood to practice spells, she immediately went back to the dormitory with Ji Haiyun, and then rushed directly into Bai Lu and Zhou Miao's dormitory.

"Xiao Lu!"

"Huh? What's wrong with Dragon Dive? ”

Bai Lu, who was lying on the bed and leisurely reading the novel, looked up at the door, her face still had tears of emotion because of the story, but she smiled happily because she saw Zhang Longqian, and her big eyes were shining.

So pure, carefree.

The words that were about to be spoken choked in his throat at once, and Zhang Longqian's determination shook violently.

Can it be said?

No matter how cruel the academy is, in the eyes of Bai Lu, who has no idea, this is a place where you can study and live with your friends, and it is a place as beautiful as Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School.

Although Zhang Longqian knew that this was false, for Bai Lu, this was the truth she had been living in, wasn't it?

Can you really destroy such a "reality"?

Looking at those big puzzled eyes, Zhang Longqian suddenly understood why Bai Lu's grandfather was hiding it from her.

Who can really bear to tell the cruel truth, and make those eyes that are always full of hope and free of impurities become dull?

With a somewhat complicated sigh, Zhang Longqian could only shake his head and reply "It's okay" in Bai Lu's concerned inquiry, and then dragged Zhou Miao into Ji Haiyun's bedroom.

"Xiao Miao, tell me honestly, do you know the truth about the academy?"

Holding a carton of milk and drinking it slowly, Zhou Miao looked at Zhang Longqian coldly: "What truth?" ”

"It's not like this is not a place where you can have a pleasant campus life as Xiao Lu expected, but a cruel testing ground where death is taken for granted!"

"Are you stupid?" Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was a little excited, Zhou Miao's voice, which was habitually casually sarcastic, was still unwavering, "What is deliberately hidden is called 'truth', this matter is a 'fact' known to the entire Dao world, and it can't be said to be 'truth' at all." ”

"But for Xiao Lu, yes!"

Zhou Miao was silent.

Looking at Zhou Miao's eyes seriously, Zhang Longqian whispered as if he was afraid that Bai Lu, who was still reading the novel in the bedroom diagonally opposite, would hear it: "This is not the kind of place that Xiao Lu expected at all, you knew it earlier than me, didn't you?" Then why let her in? ”

"Because she wants to." Saying that, Zhou Miao lowered her head slightly, and the reflective lenses covered her eyes, "All those who receive the admission notice of the academy must enter the academy to study, especially the children of the family, once they resist, they will implicate their own family, and there is no way to do it." ”

"So, you and her grandfather have been hiding this from her for a long time?"

"Yes. Since there is no way for Xiaolu to escape such a fate, she can only look forward to this as a bright future. Raising his eyes to look at Zhang Longqian, Zhou Miao's gaze was unprecedentedly resolute, "Long Qian, I decided to hide this matter from her until she graduated, so you can't tell her, and you must not let her down." ”

“…… I know, I can't bear to see her disappointed appearance......" Sighing helplessly, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile lightly, "But Xiao Miao, you really take Xiao Lu as the first priority in everything." ”

"Of course, you can only come in second."

The cold tone did not hesitate, but Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be moved.

She knew that Zhou Miao would never say nice things or lie, and such bland and affirmative words came out of Zhou Miao's mouth, which was much heavier than all the promises and beautiful words in the world.

couldn't help laughing happily, Zhang Longqian bent his eyes and said, "But I'm sorry, Xiao Miao, I can't tell who is more important, you or Xiao Lu!" ”

Zhou Miao, who was drinking milk, threw Zhang Longqian a contemptuous look.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Ji Haiyun, who was sitting by the door because he took the initiative to avoid it, immediately got up to open the door, and after taking a look, he turned his head to look at Zhang Longqian and Zhou Miao, who were sitting on the innermost bed, and reminded: "Miss Bai Lu is here." ”

As he spoke, he saw Bai Lu poke his head in and looked at this side curiously.

Zhang Longqian immediately stopped talking, looked at Bai Lu as if he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Xiaolu, why are you here?" ”

"Because you never came back!" After thanking Ji Haiyun who opened the door, Bai Lu walked in, "What are you talking about?" Why did you go to Ji Gongzi's room to say it? ”

"Huh? It's nothing, it's just some discussion on the topic, and you're not interested in such a topic, and didn't you just see you reading a novel? I'm afraid of making a noise with you, so we'll come here to talk about it! ”

Bai Lu immediately stuck out her tongue: "Fortunately, I didn't come along." Do you still have to discuss? Otherwise, I'll go back and read the novel and wait for you? ”

"No need, it's basically over." Zhang Longqian immediately got up with a smile, walked over and rubbed Bai Lu's head, "It's suffocating in the dormitory these days, right?" Want to go out for a walk? ”

Bai Lu's eyes lit up suddenly: "Central block!" I'm going shopping! ”

"Okay, then I'll call Sister Ru Yu?"

"Sister Ru Yu has already gone out, she seems to be busy with something."

"Oh", Zhang Longqian didn't care too much, and after asking about it, seeing that Zhou Miao and Ji Haiyun had no opinions, the four of them walked towards the central block together.

Although everyone except Zhang Longqian knew about the fight between the family faction and the Shichuan faction, under Zhou Miao's deliberate concealment, Bai Lu only thought that this battle that had lasted for several days was just a large-scale brawl, and did not realize or consider that there would be "death" in it, let alone that this battle would be so big as to cause damage to the academy, so when he saw the restored scenery of the academy, Bai Lu was not surprised at all, but just talked and laughed with Zhang Longqian and a few people as a matter of course, and walked up and down.
