Lin Nian closed the door of the private room, and the sound of a bang seemed to lock the fiery atmosphere in the door, and a door separated the two worlds.

He didn't go to the bathroom, but casually pulled two pieces of toilet paper from the cabinet and walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, where a girl was squatting there drinking, and the stereo in the store was playing "Quiet", which sang "Don't worry too much, I will always be fine, you have left far away, I will slowly walk away", the girl listened to the song and cried while drinking.

The sound of beer opening was crisp and pleasant.

Su Xiaoqiao turned his head and saw Lin Nian holding a can of Coke in his hand and picking at the pull ring in his hand, and carbon dioxide kept gushing out of it.

"Do you want to drink?" Lin Nian asked.

Su Xiaoqiao didn't know how to talk about this for a while, and looked at Lin Nian who was holding a Coke in a daze.

"Don't you drink it?" Lin Nian saw that Su Xiaoqiao didn't take it, so he took the Coke back and put it to his mouth and drank it.

Su Xiaoqiao didn't know if it was because the wine was coming up or something, so he suddenly got up and snatched the Coke in Lin Nian's hand and drank it up and tons, and finally covered his mouth and burped gently.

"Oh..."Lin Nian looked at the coke that was robbed and had some regret on his face, he still bought this can of cola at the front desk out of his own pocket.

"Are you really leaving?" Su Xiaoqiao put the empty Coke can at his feet and asked.

"Hmm." Lin Nian nodded.

"Why so suddenly." After receiving the affirmation, Su Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask Lin Nian.

"Was it sudden?" Lin Nian asked Su Xiaoqiao rhetorically: "The other classmates are all happy for me." ”

"Happy?" Su Xiaoqiao stood up and cleaned up, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Lin Nian's shoulder, patting it was not enough, and slapped it twice.

Lin Nian didn't hide or say anything, Su Xiaoqiao was silent for a long time before raising his head and saying, "Yes, this is a happy thing, I should be happy for you!" ”

"If you say happy and you mean crying and running out, you're really happy." Lin Nian said jokingly.

Su Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, reacted and bumped Lin Nian's waist, turned around and walked into the hot pot restaurant, but suddenly she stopped and asked thoughtlessly, "Did you already know?" ”

"Very early." Lin Nian said.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded to herself, strode into the hot pot restaurant, and said without looking back: "Since what happened today is all happy things, we should celebrate it!" Let's go, go back, let's drink a little more! ”

"I'll go buy another bottle of Coke." Lin Nian stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant and shouted as he looked at Su Xiaoqiao's back.

"Coke is boring! Drink! Su Xiaoxiao's voice floated over from afar, and she walked quickly.

In fact, it is said to be walking, more like a fugitive, as if you can get rid of what you just did and start over again.

The inexplicable Lin Nian sighed softly, he bent down and picked up the empty Coke can that Su Xiaoqiao had drunk, and looked at the lipstick mark on the mouth of the can and couldn't help muttering: "How old are you." ”

"It's not too early for a girl to learn makeup." Someone behind him teased at what he said.

Lin Nian subconsciously turned his head and saw the blonde girl holding a can of Coke leaning against the door of the hot pot restaurant behind him and looking at him with a smile.

"Mandy-senpai." Lin Nian straightened up and bowed his head in greeting: "What a coincidence, you are also here... Eating hot pot? ”

After leaving the Regent Hotel, he saw Mandy again, and Lin Nian's title to him also changed to "Senior Sister".

"How do you know I've eaten hot pot? Just me standing in front of a hot pot restaurant with a can of Coke? Mandy asked, raising an eyebrow.

Lin Nian glanced at the corner of Mandy's mouth, there was still a little hot pot oil left there, it was obvious that this guy had just eaten in the store.

"Is there anything dirty on my face?" Mandy noticed that Lin Nian had been staring at her face and hurriedly turned back to the glass door.

"The corners of the mouth, here." Lin Nian motioned to the location of Mandy's hot pot oil, Mandy quickly took out toilet paper and wiped it clean, then looked at Lin Nian and smiled awkwardly, obviously realizing that the lines he had just played handsome were stupid.

Lin Nian sighed and asked, "So why are you here, senior sister?" ”

"Didn't I say that before? I wanted to try the local specialties. Mandy sniffed the aroma of hot pot base in the air and showed happiness on her face: "You can only eat healthy meals with Professor Manstein, and you have to treat yourself after a long absence." ”

"So you're stalking me?" Lin Nian looked Mandy up and down and asked seriously.

"Stalking you? Hahaha, don't make me laugh, little brother. Mandy waved her hand and smiled, "Are you a dangerous person with alchemical items or a half-blood..."

In the middle of speaking, Mandy suddenly stopped, and immediately stuffed the Coke can into her mouth and drank the Coke tons and tons.

"What is an alchemical item? And half-blood? Lin Nian glanced at Mandy more, and the other party immediately looked away, inserting his waist and drinking Coke while showing his good figure.

"It's nothing, you just think you're talking nonsense." Mandy drank Coke in a hurry, coughing loudly to hide her gaffe.

Lin Nian glanced at her a few more times, and found that the other party really didn't seem to say anything more, so he gave up and asked, "Do you have anything else?" I'm going back if it's okay. ”

"Didn't you like that girl just now?" Mandy asked suddenly.

Lin Nian paused and looked at her and said, "You also said that you didn't follow me, you were eavesdropping on the side just now, right?" ”

"I'm sitting close to the door, and you're talking so loudly, I can't hear it, I'm sorry for my hearing." Mandy's face was innocent, but the next second, her face was full of urgency: "Senior brother, you have a story, I smell the smell of youth!" ”

"Okay, senior sister, if it's really fine, I'm going back to eat." Lin Nian sighed and said.

"It's really an unlovely junior, I'm much smarter and more sensible than you and my other junior, and I know how to please my senior sister - but there is actually something to find you tonight." Mandy leaned against the glass door with a Coke in her hand and squinted at Lin Nian and said, "Lin Nian should be a senior sister, I'm troublesome, I want to ask you a question... Did you know that at each stage of a person's life, they need to make different choices to determine the path they want to take in the future? Once you've chosen, you'll have to go down this path in your future, and there's no Save/Load option. ”

"Sister, did you major in philosophy at the Kassel Academy?" Lin Nian asked strangely.

"No, I'm a liberal arts student, but I'm a major student of ancient history... It's the equivalent of archaeology. Mandy shook her head: "Now that I'm telling you this, you can also understand that you are a senior sister, I drank too much tonight, and I want to discuss life with you." ”

Is drinking too much Coke considered too much? Lin Nian glanced at the Coke in Mandy's hand imperceptibly.

"Regarding your question, senior sister, I can only say that the path I chose must continue even if I can't turn back, and I never regret the choice I made." Retracting his gaze, Lin Nian looked at the bustling crowd in the aisle of the hot pot restaurant behind the glass door and said.

"In that case, you should also understand that after you choose one path, the other path will pass you by forever, right?" Mandy looked down and pinched the half-drunk can of Coke and clicked the thin aluminum skin.

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Lin Nian's tone was sparse and ordinary rhetorical question.

"Talk over your head, junior brother." Mandy looked at Lin Nian and pointed at his temple with his index finger: "You really realize how long and difficult the path you have chosen, and the road you gave up may have a lot of beauty that you can touch, but it will be difficult for you to set foot in this life?" Now you may still have a chance to regret it – at least until you actually embark on the path you choose. ”

Lin Nian's hands were attached to the glass door of the hot pot restaurant and were about to be pushed open, and after hearing Mandy's words, he suddenly stopped his movements.

"Looks like you get what I mean." Mandy scratched her head.

"Why are you saying these things to me? Aren't you supposed to be on the side of the Kassel Academy Admissions Office? Lin Nian turned his head to look at her and asked strangely, "There is always a kind of... The conscience of the victims of Pheasant University found a sense of persuasion for future generations to think twice. ”

Mandy decisively rolled her eyes and patted Lin Nian on the back and said, "Come in, you heartless guy, it looks like it's too early to tell you this." ”

"Goodbye, senior sister." Lin Nian pushed open the glass door and trotted and disappeared into the crowd in the aisle.

Mandy looked at Lin Nian who was walking away through the glass door at the door and sighed, and she whispered to herself: "Maybe when you really understand the meaning of what I said today, it will be too late to say this." Those of us who are faced with a choice can't look too far on the road in front of us - whether it's the life of a half-breed or the life of an ordinary person, but who knows which road ends to be perfect? ”

But no one could hear Mandy's words at this moment, she drank the Coke in her hand, pinched the can into a small pie with one hand and threw it into the trash can ten meters away, and took out the car keys with both hands in her pockets and walked to the parking lot. After a while, the red sports car leaped out, and the engine roared through the night sky.

In the private room of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Nian, who kept pushing back the toast, seemed to have a sense and looked in the direction outside the private room, but after a while, his attention was pulled back by the classmates who were enthusiastically singing farewell songs.
