Chapter 33: The Secret in the Shadows
In fact, Zhang Kesong has been feeling a little lonely recently.
For example, now she is sitting alone in the window corner of the school cafeteria, with a latte in front of her and an open copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams". She'd been reading the page for fifteen minutes, and she hadn't turned it. The soft golden sunlight shone through the window, and the scent of ink on the pages made her a little drowsy.
There was a faint sound of other students in the cafeteria talking and laughing, but I couldn't really hear it, as if there was a layer of white veil.
Speaking of which, Li Zhen should be blamed......
Since I learned that he was the "Seraph" a few days ago, my classmates suddenly became respectful of themselves. Even the boys who used to talk to them from time to time seemed unfamiliar and indifferent, and they only smiled slightly when they met them.
It's not that she enjoys the feeling of being sought after. In fact, if this situation can make Li Zhen feel happy, he doesn't care. After all...... No one likes to be accosted all day long.
But it's really boring. He barely comes to class these days - because he has to go to the Security Bureau to get a lot of things done. For example, adaptation training, military grooming training, confidentiality training, etc.
The two of them can only get along briefly after school. I could tell he was really busy...... It's as if the whole body is filled with a kind of erection to the smell.
But what about yourself? It seems to have been abandoned by the world.
It's just that her classmates keep a distance from her, but what puzzles her is that she has also signed an employment agreement, so why is her life the same as before? For example, in a training session -
Everyone else is working group exercises and orienteering training, but they seem to have nothing to do and can only dangle boringly in front of the simulator. And Instructor Guan seems to be quite kind to himself, and even tells himself from time to time that "if you are tired, take a break".
But I've long had enough of the kind of rìzi that has become a "burden". She at least wanted to be a little more "useful". But every time he mentioned his training course to the instructor, he would squeeze that smile out of his face again, and say—
"Your ability is quite special, don't rush first, take your time."
However, her troubles were never told to Li Zhen. She didn't want to trouble him at this time—in a few more years, he would be awarded a title and honor, right?
Obviously he was an ordinary high school student like that a year ago, but now he has become a little dazzling, making himself ......
I often feel uneasy.
So she sighed softly and ran her finger across the page, trying to find the one she hadn't finished reading yet.
However, the sunlight around him suddenly dimmed, and someone blocked it.
Then she smelled a burst of perfume, and when she looked up again, An Ruosu stopped beside her.
She hurriedly stood up: "Ah, Miss An. ”
An Ruosu smiled and waved her hand, and sat down beside her: "I'm reading alone." ”
"Hmm." Kosson looked at her, the new teacher who had just arrived last week. It was only last week that she learned that Miss An had two doctorates. One is psychology and the other is biology. The two had been in contact before, and they were one of the few people in the northern base who had a relatively close relationship.
Today she wore a dress of chestnut flannel, pulled her hair up, and added a pair of flat mirrors to the bridge of her nose. The feeling of weakness and shyness that I used to give people has been swept away, and I have become a little capable.
It's just that her voice is still soft and glutinous, which makes people feel very comfortable.
She ordered a cup of grapefruit tea, took off her glasses and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's boring to be alone?" ”
Ke Song looked at the light spots on the table and the lenses, nodded, and smiled: "I feel like I'm about to be abandoned by the world." ”
Miss An stirred it in the cup with a straw, and then held her cheek with the other one, with a warm and soft smile between her eyebrows and eyes: "You can tell me if you have something on your mind." So far, I'm still a psychiatrist for you and Li Zhen. ”
"Ah......" Ke Song was slightly stunned, and lowered his eyes again, "Actually, I'm worried about some courses." I always feel like I've been deliberately ignored......"
Then she told An Ruosu everything about these days. However, I didn't expect Miss An to really be able to change anything - after all, she was not a capable person, nor an instructor, just an instructor. But being able to find someone to talk to me about makes me feel a little better.
At least there is no need for a person to sit sullenly.
Ms. Ann is an excellent listener. She listened to Ke Song's words with an expression of understanding and approval, and thought for a while before she said, "Oh...... That's right. ”
Then she thoughtfully took a sip of her grapefruit tea and said slowly, "Maybe it's on purpose." ”
Ke Song looked up in surprise.
"You also know that everyone is very optimistic about Li Zhen. What do you want me to say...... Probably because they don't want you to be involved in the dangerous missions ahead. Li Zhen must be nervous about you—everyone knows that. Or—whether this is the meaning of the base, or the meaning of Li Zhen himself—I want you to be able to be a safe and stable civilian like me. Miss An smiled a little lonely and shook her head, "Many times people like us have done our job as long as we make someone feel at ease, right?" ”
Ke Song looked at her in a daze: "Miss An, you ...... too"
An Ruosu looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly: "Everyone knows the way, right...... I'm engaged to someone. So we're actually quite alike. ”
This point, Ke Song heard Li Zhen mention it by chance. But I didn't expect that Miss An's identity, Liu Yangbo's daughter, would have this kind of feeling. Who is the person who can make her do this?
But it's also quite unexpected...... She actually told herself about it.
The ghost made the god staggered, but Kesong accidentally asked that question: "That person is ......"
Miss Ann didn't seem to mind at all, leaned close to her, and whispered a name in her ear.
Ke Song couldn't help but widen his eyes: "He? ”
An Ruosu sighed softly: "The little secret between the two of us." ”
And it seems that because of this little secret, the relationship between the two has become intimate. After saying a few more private words between girls, An Ruosu suddenly asked her, "So what do you think?" ”
Ke Song was stunned.
"Do you want to be like that yourself, as long as you stay here in peace?"
She shook her head and whispered, "Actually, I want to be ...... myself A little more powerful. At least it won't cause him any more trouble. Can you help him...... It's even better. ”
Miss An looked at her for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Maybe, I can help you." ”
Then she blinked, "Don't look like that, I also have a biology degree." Actually, in private, I do some research on my own - I'm also a psychiatrist, so the direction of research is - " she tapped her temples slightly, "the development of the brain domain." ”
Komatsu looked at her god sè. It wasn't until he found out that the other party was really not joking that he said "ah": "But...... Is that okay? ”
Miss An tilted her head and said with a smile, "Why not?" It's all my own research – as long as you're not afraid to become my guinea pig. Just kidding, it's actually a relatively conservative training method, and it's not a very important confidential information in the base. ”
Kesong hesitated. But suddenly remembered that night, when he said that he could find Long Haotian, Li Zhen's tone. I guess I was a little proud and surprised.
Actually, she would love to hear that again.
So she bit her lip and nodded.
"If you can, then, thank you, Miss An."
"It's also a little secret between us. Someday, you'll have to surprise them. An Ruosu put the flat mirror on the table back and stood up, "Look, isn't it much better for you to do this?" So, if you are idle for too long, you will get moldy. ”
After An Ruosu left, Ke Song sat by the window for a short while.
The barely touched cup of yuzu tea and latte were all sitting securely on the table, pulling out a slanting yīn shadow. She looked out the window at the remnants of snow and took a deep breath.
Well, start tomorrow.
