Chapter 17: A Reward for the Honest

A piece of the list, which was untied, was untied, and it was spread out with a full body of results in front of many curious eyes.

The unfamiliar situation and unfamiliar names gave the crowd an unspeakable panic - because there were many people in it who were not what they expected to appear on this list.

Just when everyone was rushing to tell each other about this great peculiarity, Xiuli was experiencing the most confused moment of his life.

He didn't want to go home, he just wanted to shut himself up in his own sad little space. In the academy is the sad situation in which he was knocked out of the ring, and when he returns home, he is a tense family abyss, and it seems that his own desolate space ...... It was kind of a relief to him.

It's just that he didn't expect that Shambhala seemed to be intent on keeping a group of students who met good talents in chess opponents not buried in the first round of assessments. A board that brings too many surprises, and it carries the names of more students.

Because one of the questions Shambhala gave to the students was called justice.

What is Impartiality? Justice means not doing superfluous things and doing a lot of things, not doing too much protection for Offonira, and not giving up on yourself because you don't have the opportunity to Offonira.

Shambhala fills the gap in scores for a portion of the students who deserve to stay. Just when Xiuli was still frustrated in his own space, the Ruijia family had already received the news.

Xiuli's father didn't show much surprise, which couldn't help but make outsiders suspect that he was determined to succeed, but Xiuli's mother, she was greatly relieved, presumably she was an insider of her son's situation.

No one could be more uplifted by the news than she received.

……

Teresa didn't care who else was on the list, she just knew she was on the list. In addition to this, Teresa has been concerned lately, where have her pigeons gone?

The note warned her that the pigeon should be taken care of, and she took good care of it as a matter of course, and now that it was gone, Theresa could only make a cooing sound all over the world looking for the pigeon she had flown away.

"I don't even know why you either come out at dusk or at night." Lanzerim began to cringe every time she was persuaded by Teresa, and she may have linked Roman to the lack of light. Although they met once in the auditorium, Teresa also met once in private, which does not mean that Teresa and Roman are fateful.

"Don't be nervous." Lanzerim looked at Teresa, who was not easy to get nervous about, and she was always very calm, including the day she came out of the ring with her legs bent.

The victor's composure.

Not getting her out of the water was great news, Lanzerim thought at the time.

"We won't always meet Roman." Teresa said that she didn't dare to speak too loudly because it would twitch her facial muscles and the wound on her face would hurt.

Teresa didn't say this to dispel Lan Ze's concerns, she just kept thinking of that weird dream, although she often observed others, she hated being observed, who didn't have a secret that she didn't know.

"But isn't there anyone there......" Although they avoided the crowds, they always met some like-minded people standing under the list.

"That's Xiuli, do you really want to go over?" Although Lan Ze knew that even Roman was watching the list Theresa would not shy away from walking straight over, Lan Zerem didn't want to make herself look so timid, so she changed her question.

Actually, it's all the same.

"Even if he wants to let me, after all, he is the ...... who was knocked out of the ring" Out of politeness to avoid embarrassment, Lanze's approach is desirable, but out of the pride of the victor, Teresa will not shy away from contact with Xiuli, because she personally knocked Xiuli out of the ring.

Ah no, it's push.

"So what are you waiting for?" Hearing Teresa's words, Lanzerim followed Theresa, and the two people who approached stopped in awkwardness - because Huley seemed to be crazy and rubbing the magical list.

It seemed that Huley thought the list was incredible, and he looked at it for a long time before confirming the news called a miracle. Just when he was at a loss, an embarrassed cough behind him reminded him that there was still someone watching here.

"Do you want to get out of the way?" Xiuli turned his head in embarrassment and saw a very familiar person, and he coughed to hide his gaffe just now. Teresa hooked her fingers and motioned for Huley to get out of the way.

"You're on the list." Huley stepped out of the way, scratching his head, and said. It was only in that ring that he began to know Teresa as a person.

"Hmm." Teresa's finger gestured at the list, and she quickly found Lanzerim and her name, and Roman's name was also brushed under her finger, and she answered in response to Huley's words.

"I haven't seen you on the Force Magic list." Xiuli found that Teresa was not angry, but he couldn't help but say a few words. To be honest, he admires this opponent a lot, and now his mentality seems to have been calmed down by being on the list compared to the shame of falling out of the ring.

Where is there no sunny day in life?

"You've seen it, but you don't remember it." Sometimes Teresa didn't understand why she thought Roman should smile at first sight, which was weird, because the smile on her face was like a friendly message to outsiders, and she couldn't smile at Hurrimu now.

Maybe there's something else, she thought to herself.

"Maybe I've only noticed the people on top." For a moment, Huley said, thought of Teresa looking at him one last time in the ring, the eyes of a snake without warmth.

"That's it." Theresa confirmed the information, and she and Lan Ze made a look—they were about to slip away.

Unlike Roman's provocative speech, Theresa could feel Thurry's friendliness to her, but she knew she didn't want to deal with him. Walking back with Lan Ze depressed all the way, she was thinking about what she meant by this smile.

"Lan Ze, why do you think I'm laughing?" Theresa unconsciously came up with an answer that she didn't want to accept herself, so she prepared to turn to Lanzer for help.

“…… Laugh? Lanzerim repeated Teresa's unusual question, and Teresa wouldn't ask such a silly question.

"I guess it's ill-intentioned... No, I don't know. Lanzer was depressed to think about the meaning of Teresa's smile, because sometimes a smile may not have meaning.

"Ah, sure enough, I had a strange dream...... "Theresa denied the ill-intentioned answer, she might just have suddenly become weird.

"Thank God, if Roman is still standing at the top of the list, I will leave you immediately." Luckily, Teresa glanced at Lan Ze, who seemed to be in danger. Although Teresa had been a little uneasy since that dream, and always felt that Roman suddenly appeared frequently in her life, which made her at a loss, in fact, she was in a state of mind as she walked today.

Perhaps Teresa was quietly relieved at this time, because Roman did not appear in her sight as she expected, and the dream was indeed the opposite.

It should be said that no one in the academy saw Roman on this day, and today Roman rushed back to the family early in the morning, because the Buda family and the Babel family are officially engaged, and every direct bloodline is obliged to be present.

……

As the night wore on, and the singing and dancing had subsided, Honanstine watched the peaceful scene around him, and he sat in his place as if on pins and needles, for Roman happened to be sitting opposite him.

Although the Buda and Babel families are both coloured people, the clothing and culture of the two families are very different. Roman wears a long white robe with silver patterns, silver wrenches on his fingers, silver single-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, dove-gray iris, silver-white slightly curly hair, straight and upright sitting posture, and unruly eyes all repeatedly emphasize the character of the Buda family.

He heard that Roman's ring was solid, and when he watched Roman on the other side casually stir the sugar in the sugar jar, Jonanstine read from the young man's expression that he was called impatience.

Roman always gives the impression that he is a well-mannered boy when he is quiet, and in fact Honansteen knows that Roman has a volcano in his mind hidden by a withered and dry forest, and when it suddenly ignites, the landslide and the ground crack magma bursts out.

There was a woman who approached Roman and whispered something in his ear, judging from the color of his hair, it should be Roman's family, Roman's brows furrowed tightly, and the spoon that scooped the sugar suddenly let go, and the spoon fell to the table with a clatter, and sprinkled a bunch of sugar on the table.

"There you go." Roman flicked the crumbs of sugar on his robe with his hand and glanced at his sister.

"I'm not going." He propped his hand on the table, and with one hand on his cheek, he suddenly looked at Honanstine. Jonanstin subconsciously wanted to dodge his gaze, but he didn't think it was necessary.

If there is heat in the gaze, then Roman's gaze is burning. He looked at him with his cheeks raised, and Honanstin didn't know what he should say, and he smiled awkwardly.

"We've met at the academy, but we don't say hello." There was a commotion in the distance, and Honanstine couldn't believe that the embarrassment had been broken by Roman, his voice was deep and masculine, and he said that Roman seemed to know the facts very well.

"Looks like we'll be able to say hello later." Honnendine smiled, he sensed Roman nonchalantly to his answer.

"We're going to be friends, right?" Roman raised an eyebrow and asked, it really wasn't a decent question.

"I don't really understand?" Honansteen sometimes doesn't believe what his ears hear, and that's ridiculous—what does it mean to be friends?

"Robelk and your sister are about to get married, so we're relatives." This question turned out to be difficult for Jonansteen to answer, and he didn't know what Roman was trying to express.

"Yes." In order not to miss every word Roman said, Honanstine devoted himself to listening to every word Roman said.

"A family marriage is an alliance, and we have an alliance." Jonanstin frowned, it was a dead end, as he found himself unable to get on with it.

"Frieon hopes that the two of us can have a good relationship and take care of us when we go to Sing Tao in the future." It's not like negotiation, it's like cutting before playing.

"We can get along nicely, I think." Roman raised his eyes and smiled, this is a very playful smile, three points of distraction and seven points of disdain.

"It just so happened that my mother told me about it." If you can gain the favor of the Buda family, maybe your sister will have a better time. Roberk seems to be a man who doesn't treat Rem harshly, but who knows what he looks like when he is a man?

"I like that answer." Roman slowly picked up the spoon that had fallen on the table and inserted it back into the teacup. Shatifa came and whispered to him just now to convey the desire of the patriarch of the Tower of Babel to see him, but he refused.

Although Roman refuted Flion's dog words, Roman knew better than anyone - if he wanted Robelk to be bad, it was enough for his wife to be a bad woman, and Fleon was a lesson from the past, he had been disturbed by a bad woman.

So even if Roman is unwilling, he will try to be "friends" with Honansteen, after all, Honansteen and Ream are of the same heart. This is already the biggest concession Roman has made for the sake of the family and for the sake of the family.

"Nice to meet you." Honanstin stretched out his hand and showed his friendliness to the First family, he had to please Roman, didn't he?

Because the Buda family is a group of crazy people, everyone knows that the marriage of the Buda patriarch is not only unhappy but also a little bloody.

"Wait a while, don't see outside. It's all a family, and it's time to meet the wonders of the family. Honanstine watched Roman bend his hand to prop himself up slightly, and grabbed his hand that he stretched out but didn't think he would shake hands, Roman's hand was like a bear's paw and thick, full of male strength, and their hands were secretly competing.

Honansteen thought it was Roman demonstrating to him, and he heard his knuckles creak at the handshake.

"You're really skinny." After shaking hands for a while, Roman withdrew his hand with little interest, Honanstin really looked like him, and Sven was not a little aggressive.

As the saying goes, people like people who have the same characteristics as themselves, and Roman doesn't like Honanstine.
