Chapter 42: The Promise by the Lake

Since it is a small tower in a relatively remote area, there are no other students visiting here except for the two of them.

The teacher, Chef Luoping, felt like he was leaving after serving the food, creating a private space for Ge Sheng and Ye Qing.

But when Ye Qing finished saying that, the air suddenly froze.

Ge Sheng bit his lip slowly.

"Then why didn't you say it when I asked you."

"Because ......," Ye Qinggang wanted to speak.

"That." Ge Sheng interrupted: "Excuses? ”

This quiet boy is sharp at the moment, like an enraged cheetah.

"Then why didn't you say it when I asked you?" He forced his eyes to look at Ye Qing, and the night in the eyes of his brother, who was still quiet, filled the air.

Ye Qing rarely saw Ge Sheng have such a terrifying expression, he was quiet and shy on weekdays, to use a metaphor, he was a seal-like animal, docile and harmless, willing to be close to him no matter who saw it.

But at this moment, he was enraged by a word, and after being provoked, his minions were furious.

"You." Ge Sheng directly asked the last question: "Did you deceive me?" ”

Are you deceiving me?

Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng's expression, so serious.

On the roof of that igloo two years ago, they promised each other that they would never cheat or betray.

After making that promise, the two exchanged each other's deepest secrets, and the promise has never been broken since.

Until now, two years later, at this time two years later.

"Ye Qing, the daughter of Lan Ye, swear in front of my mother, in this life and this life, I will never deceive the person in front of me, if I disobey, I will die under ten thousand arrows." Ye Qing gently repeated what she said at that time, not a word was wrong.

"If I say I didn't lie to you, brother." Ye Qing called out this monophonic word vaguely, and smiled faintly: "Do you want to believe me?" ”

Ge Sheng was silent, then nodded.

"Then tell me a story, brother." Ye Qing poured himself a glass of amber fruit wine, shook it gently, and then pushed it to Ge Sheng: "About that time, my story by the lake." ”

"At the beginning of this three tests, I only had one method, and that was derived from the method about the principle of all things in "Notes on the Moon."

"This is the safest and foolproof method, the world is so big, but there are only a handful of people who have read "Notes on the Moon", and predictable results can be achieved."

Ye Qing also poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and gently moistened his light cherry lips: "But no, because I don't know how many people in this world will do this, but I know that you will definitely do the same." ”

"So one after another, I thought of three other methods as a backup." Ye Qing looked at his brother opposite: "I think you did the same." ”

Ge Sheng nodded silently, the reason why he waited was not only to wait for Ye Qing to leave first, but also to prepare a backup method.

"But in this waiting, we squandered each other's opportunities." Ye Qing shook his head and smiled: "When you came over, I had already guessed that you probably only had this one method left, and I was on my side." ”

Ye Qing gently stretched out two fingers: "I still have two kinds." ”

"So when you asked me if I couldn't cross the lake, I said I had my own way." Ye Qing bit her cherry-colored lip, leaving clear tooth marks: "I didn't lie to you. ”

"But because your pass was so dazzling, the closest to a perfect score blew up the audience, so that few people remember that after you there was a silent student who also crossed the lake, almost close behind."

"His method is very earthy, and his score is very low, but it is only a score of 25 points." Ye Qing said softly: "It's just a strange way to walk over step by step on stilts." ”

Ge Sheng didn't speak.

"Yes, it's a dirty and useless method." Ye Qing smiled lightly: "That's it." ”

"The fourth way I want to go."

"So I'm not a genius at all." Ye Qing stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and smiled a little ugly: "I don't want to pass so dazzlingly, I want everyone to remember my name, I actually wanted to just pass smoothly." Thirty-two or twenty-five is not so important to me. ”

"I just want to get through."

"But no one gave me that chance anymore." Ye Qing concluded.

"If the only thing I had at that time was probably power." Ye Qing said softly: "This kind of ethereal thing, just like me, the youngest student to enter the school and the ninth perfect score, originally did not mean anything, and even said that brother, you are actually only half a year older than me, as long as you want to, you will also have a full score of thirty-two points." But with this slight gap, everyone's attention and expectations for me will be much greater than that of you, brother. ”

"That's the potential."

"At that time, I was the first to finish in the second attempt, and I even threw the second place far away for more than an hour. So as long as I sit there and don't move, there's no one. Ye Qing smiled: "I dare to think that this three tests will end like this." ”

"But after you crossed the lake, the method I used was used, and Mo Xiaojing also passed, leaving me alone there." Ye Qing gently stirred the vegetarian porridge with honey: "Maybe even brother, you think that I just want to be the last to show off, because many times I really like funny and eye-catching stupid people." ”

"But actually." Ye Qing lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, raised his head and smiled: "For a long time, I was just in a daze. ”

"Actually, at that time, I really thought that I was finished." Ye Qing recalled the girl who was sitting on the statue in despair at that time, and smiled softly: "Stay there alone, watching the sun fall little by little, and keep saying to yourself in your heart, you have no hope." ”

"At that time, there will also be a slight hatred, hating why I am so weak and kind." Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng on the other side and smiled: "Why do you hate yourself for letting you pass first, I know, I can pass it early tomorrow!" ”

"That's a 31 or even 32 perfect score." Ye Qing's water-blue eyes were as quiet as a lake, she said such a dark and cold mind, but she didn't want to hide it from the person in front of her: "Originally, it should be me, why do I have to wait here little by little to die, little by little waiting to be ridiculed, look at that arrogant guy, it turns out that he is so useless, he will pretend, and the result will be a waste that will not do anything." ”

"Thinking like this, I don't want to move more and more, and I feel that my body is getting colder and colder." Ye Qing recalled what had just happened, as if a long time had passed: "I almost couldn't hold on, I wanted to jump down and escape so much, and I didn't want to run away without looking back, and I didn't want to face the ending of being eliminated coldly in the end." ”

"Abstaining and being eliminated are not the same after all, right?" Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng: "I kept thinking like this at that time. ”

"After all, I'm not a genius who can create miracles on my own, just a stupid kid who is a little smart and hard enough."

"Genius or something, never and never should be a guy like me." Ye Qing said with a smile.
