Chapter 40: Choice and Resignation
In the middle of the night, in the room, the candle flame flickered gently, and the faint light and shadow reflected on the walls swayed slightly. At this time, Ali's figure was sitting at the table, holding a scroll and reading.
But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that her mind is not on the book at all, her eyes wander, and she looks absent-minded.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Ah Li put down the scroll in his hand and looked at the door.
"It's me." Outside the house, there was a familiar voice.
Ali stood up with a little surprise, walked over and opened the door, and then saw the familiar figure standing outside: "Teacher Huiyin? Is there anything you have to do at such a late hour? ”
"Aren't you too, it's so late, and you still haven't slept ......", Huiyin smiled and glanced at the candlesticks and books on the table in the room, "Staying up late to read is not good for your body......"
Ah Li shook his head, got out of the way, and invited Huiyin in, "I just couldn't sleep for a while to read a book......"
Entering the house, the two sat down, Huiyin looked at Ah Li, and said meaningfully: "I can't sleep, is there something on my mind?" ”
“……”
Ah Li was silent for a moment, then nodded, and looked at Hui Yin, "Well, what has happened these days, for me, how can I not be as indifferent as you and His Highness Mo......
Hearing this, Huiyin smiled knowingly, and then shook her head again, "Do you really think so?" ”
“?” Ah Li tilted his head in confusion.
"Actually, that guy is not as indifferent as you think, otherwise he wouldn't always pay attention to the outside world." , Huiyin said meaningfully.
Ali was stunned, then shook her head again. Even so, she didn't feel that it would be able to influence that person's decision.
Huiyin waved her hand, and a teapot and several teacups appeared out of thin air. With a little hand, a flame surrounds the teapot, and in the blink of an eye, the tea is boiled.
"Drink some, it's cold at night, drive away the cold."
Shaking the teacup gently, looking at the fine candlelight reflected in the cup, Huiyin slowly spoke: "Actually, if you go and ask him, he will agree to you." ”
Ah Li was stunned, cast his eyes on the teacup in his hand, and after a long time, he spoke: "I don't have this qualification......"
Huiyin shook her head, no qualifications, what is not qualified? Is there no right to intercede on behalf of 'those people', or is there no 'qualification' to dry up that person's decision?
Although in her eyes, this is all overconsideration. But since Ah Li had decided so, she didn't need to say more.
"Then we won't talk about him, let's talk about you, what are you going to do?"
Ah Li shook his head, "I can't sit idly by, I can't stay here so safely after all, whether it's self-righteous or self-righteous......"
Raising his head, Ah Li looked at Huiyin, as if he had made up his mind: "Teacher Huiyin, I'm going there." Witness with my own eyes what is happening there, and record it with my hands. ”
"This is my decision, the choice that Ari should have made! No matter how insignificant, I am willing to choose this way, without regrets! ”
Huiyin looked at Ah Li, and finally the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile, "I see, I understand." ”
After speaking, Huiyin stood up, and by the way, she also put away the books on the table, "Then you should go to bed early, get ready, and we will go to ask for resignation together tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" , Ah Lilen paused, and then asked a little uncertainly: "Teacher Huiyin, what did you say?" ”
"I said we'd go together tomorrow to ask for my resignation from the host here. Although I don't think he minds, there is still a need for etiquette. ”
"Yes...... However, this is my own decision, Teacher Huiyin, you ......"
Huiyin smiled and brushed her hair, "yes, it's your own decision. And I myself decided to go with you, what's wrong with that? ”
Ali opened his mouth, "But, in that case, I'...... You ......"
Seeing this, Huiyin smiled and patted Ali's head with the scroll in her hand.
"It hurts!"
"You're just thinking too much. Can't you be willful once in a while? But that's it, it's better to think more than those who don't think about it. ”
Huiyin shook her head, "Just as you made your own choice, I just followed my own heart's choice and wanted to take care of my students and friends, what's wrong with that?" ”
Ali touched his head, was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Teacher Huiyin, am I too despicable to do this......"
Smack, another beating.
"It hurts!" This time it really hurts.
Huiyin sighed, "Withdraw the preface, I think it's better for you not to think so much!" ”
"What kind of position, reputation, etc., has never been fundamental and desirable for me and that guy. Doing what we want is our real choice. So don't worry so much. It's enough to make your own inner choice and move forward without regrets! ”
After saying that, Huiyin turned around and walked outside the house, "Okay, remember to go to bed early." Tomorrow we have to prepare for the trip. ”
Look at the door that closes again, and listen to the footsteps that fade away until they are completely inaudible. Ah Li sighed softly, then looked at the slightly flickering candle flame, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely dissipated.
Do you want to do what you want......
So this time, let yourself be willful......
……
"Have you decided?" , Mo looked at the two people in front of him who asked him to resign, and said slowly.
"Yes." , Ah Li nodded, then bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry......"
Mo was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "You don't need to apologize, and there's nothing to apologize for." Since it's your own decision, just do it. ”
After thinking about it, Mo spoke again: "As for my nonsense before, it was my momentary gaffe. Please forgive me for the rudeness. If you can, please forget about it. ”
Before? Ah Li was stunned, and then remembered that Mo seemed to have declared that he was still his captive.
There was such a thing before...... Thinking of this, Ah Li's heart not only rose a little dumbfounded. I actually forgot about it unconsciously, it should be a very important thing......
Perhaps, I have slowly gotten used to my current life......
Ah Li shook his head, "I am, I've been a lot of trouble these days. Thank you very much, Your Highness Mo, for your hospitality during this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I would have ended. ”
After speaking, Ah Li bowed and bowed, "Thank you very much all the time!" ”
……
Mo looked at the already empty courtyard in front of him, thought about it sideways, and then said, "Crow, you follow them, don't let them find out." If anything happens, contact me with the Communication Stone. ”
"Yes!" In the air, the sound of crows was heard.
Standing up slowly, Mo turned and walked into the room. Only the tea on the table remained, evaporating the last trace of heat......
…… To be continued......
