Chapter 151: Uninvited Guest
In all fairness, Angelina lost the sword fight against Woz in the morning. The appearance of constantly challenging and constantly being knocked down is definitely not "good-looking".
Although no one will laugh at Angelina for this, and even on the contrary, will only admire her tenacity and excellent growth - after all, everyone can see that it is not that she is too weak, but that Watts is too strong, strong enough to foul!
But Angelina herself couldn't accept such an embarrassed self.
Although she doesn't usually show it, Angelina is quite proud deep down, and she has always been very aware of her genius. From the first time she held the hilt of her sword, Angelina knew that if she became a witcher, she would be stronger than 99% of the witchers in the world!
In normal times, this pride is cleverly hidden by her. The camp of demons is rich in all kinds of demons, so Angelina will seem a little "ordinary". Because of her age, she even has to go to school honestly.
This batch of trainees, Rob and Simon, they are all classmates of Angelina's school or even the same class.
But because of that pride, from the very beginning, Angelina put herself in the position of a "rookie instructor", personally leading the students to practice in the morning and conduct various martial arts training. She firmly believes that she has the qualifications and strength!
There is a peculiar phenomenon in the Demon Camp, that is, almost all the members of the studio have a mentorship relationship - basically all the witchers are "students" of the boss, Woz, and Uncle Fanley. Angelina thinks that if she can also become a "teacher" and bring out a group of excellent witcher students, then she can be closer to the level of Woz, right?
But today, I made a fool of myself in front of all the "students"! Fiasco, unjustifiable fiasco!
The duel with Woz, and the ensuing defeat, was something Angelina couldn't ask for and expected. She didn't regret it either.
On the other hand, not regretting it doesn't mean she doesn't care. Today's defeat hit Angelina far bigger than anyone β including Angelina herself could have imagined.
So the girl chose to escape, and didn't even go to school in the afternoon, just because she didn't want to see those classmates. No one will laugh at you, but there will only be a lot of teachers and students who you know or don't know to come up to comfort and encourage you, right?
But I don't need the comfort and care of others! Ghost Sword Ji Angelina doesn't need the sympathy of those weak!
She even felt that it would be better to accept it if she was ridiculed. After all, that's what I think in my heart!
For the same reason, Angelina didn't want to stay in the studio either. The people there are almost all her family. And at this moment, the last thing Angelina wants to face is these "relatives" who care about her!
There is only one exception...... That's the rookie boy who recently came to the city and temporarily joined the Demon Camp. Angelina almost immediately remembered Ling Key's existence, he was from a foreign country, he didn't know him before, and he hadn't even heard of the name "Ghost Sword Queen" - although that made Angelina feel resentful.
What's more, that teenager never participated in the morning training activities of the trainees, and was not considered his "student".
A stranger who has crossed paths, this is Angelina's positioning of Ling Key.
That's good! Only in the face of him, he can not bear any psychological pressure.
So Angelina went to look through the registration information when Ling Jian joined the studio and found his residence.
It's worth mentioning that Ling Key is not a trainee, from the moment he joined the Demon Camp, this seventeen-year-old boy has been just like Angelina, an official witcher - the kind that can go out on missions at any time!
Although she was a little surprised, Angelina herself was a seventeen-year-old witcher, and she was still an ace! So I was relieved very soon - after all, they were the camp of demons!
Leaving these inconsequential things behind, Angelina quietly ran out of the studio and found Ling Key's house.
Although Ling Key was not at home, it just so happened that the swing in the yard was Angelina's favorite thing.
In fact, before Ling Jian bought this house, it had always been her "secret garden".
Angelina rocked the swing and waited for it to get dark. Until Ling Jian came back from outside with a shopping paper bag......
Ling Key was silent, and he immediately judged that Angelina was not lyingβit was indeed her "secret garden" before. Because when he took over this small house, Ling Jian found obvious signs of human activity. And the swing in the yard, although it still creaked, the hinge part was not completely rusted, and the seat was not stained with much dust. It seems that this girl frequents this place.
It seems that he has unknowingly occupied her "territory". Thinking of this, Ling Jian felt a little embarrassed.
But I've already bought it! It's my territory now!
Ling Jian cheered up and looked at Angelina again: "I'll go home and put things down first......"
He gestured to what he was holding: a paper bag full of ingredients, a large stack of newspapers and magazines, a handbag, and a string of door keys......
Unexpectedly, when he showed the key in his hand, Ling Jian didn't notice it for a while, and the paper bag in his hand was about to fall down.
The paper bags are full of food, and no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for falling on the ground. And Ling Key's hands were full of things, and he didn't have time to care about those things.
Just when Ling Jian secretly said bad and was about to throw down the magazine and empty his hand, Angelina rushed over and grabbed the paper bag, and then took the bag and held it in her arms.
"I'll get it for you."
Ling Jian couldn't help but look sideways, and the girl walked to the door first: "What are you still standing there for?" Open the door! β
Ling Jian walked over stiffly, I originally meant to send you back after putting away the things! Now what's going on?
Angelina's timely help just now made it difficult for Ling Key to say the eviction order. In the end, he sighed, since everyone had arrived at the door, he still invited her into the house for a cup of tea or something...... It's also the hospitality that the teacher taught.
Ling Jian walked to the door and unlocked a few doors. Angelina, who was beside her, looked curiously at the paper bag in her arms.
"Huh? There is no strawberry cake? She still remembered that Ling Jian bought a lot of sweets in the morning, as well as strawberry cake.
But the only thing that can be seen in the bag at the moment is a few long loaves of bread.
"Well, can I eat one?" Angelina asked. Maybe it was because she had already "borrowed" food from Ling Key in the morning, and Angelina spoke again without any pressure.
But compared to the domineering in the morning, this time she was much more polite.
Moreover, Angelina really felt hungry. She ran here in the afternoon and waited, and of course she didn't eat dinner. Aside from breakfast today, the only food available was the bunch of sweets that Ling Jian had obtained from "robbing" Ling Key in the morning.
Ling Jian also remembered what the girl said just now, she seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. I guess I didn't eat dinner because I didn't want to go home, right?
Again he sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay...... No, not for you to nibble on bread. I didn't happen to eat either, so I bought a lot of ingredients and prepared to cook a big meal...... You're in luck. β
As he spoke, Ling Jian opened the door. He pulled open the door and turned sideways to make way for Angelina, cheering up and looking at Angelina.
"Welcome to my cabin, then!"
Angelina laughed and walked into the doorway: "Then, I'll disturb!" β
Then, Ling Key also entered the house, turned around and closed the door, and locked it layer by layer.
Angelina waited patiently, though puzzled by the fact that Ling Key's nervous locks were so many - it was just a gate, and no amount of locks on it could stop the real demon invasion, right?
However, she still suppressed the curiosity in her heart and didn't ask anything. Originally, this rookie boy named Ling Key was a very strange guy.
Walking into the living room, the room that had been dusty and ruins a week ago was now brand new and spotless.
However, it was a little dark, and when the lights were not turned on, only some things in the living room that seemed to be decorations emitted a faint fluorescence.
Ling Jian didn't mean to turn on the light, but said loudly into the room: "I'm back!" β
Huh? Is there a third person in this room? Angelina was suddenly surprised, with her ace witcher's perception ability, she had already confirmed it, not to mention this room, and even half a block around here There was no one else!
So who is Ling Key greeting now? Hell yes!
But to Angelina's surprise, there was actually a voice responding.
"Welcome home, Ling!"
