Chapter 131: Then, let's go on like this from now on
It has been raining for two days in a row, and it has not ended. The sky was still overcast, and the clouds were still thick, but Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt that the spring breeze was blowing on his cheeks, the sun was warm and warm, and the roads were full of flowers.
The two walked all the way, Lin Xue's home was in the C1 area, which was not too far from here, so not long after walking, small gray cement buildings appeared in front of them.
The atmosphere of this meal is very harmonious, the rice is cooked by Lin Xue's mother, four dishes and one soup, all of which are home-cooked dishes, but they are rare and warm. Lin Xue's father was busy in the army and did not go home, her mother is a very gentle woman, Old Man Lin has known Zhuang Yichen before, and the Lin family has always been deliberately courteous. So after a homely meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and enjoyed themselves.
After eating, Lin Xue and his mother began to get busy, and her grandfather took Zhuang Yichen outside for a walk.
Area C1 is located close to the peak on the side of Camp Dawn, with a branch of the main peak winding to the foot of the residential area.
Zhuang Yichen walked out of the C1 area with Old Man Lin. He followed behind Old Man Lin, and his figure was slightly different from the old man's figure by half a year.
"Xiaozhuang, how long have you known our Xiaoxue?"
"Well, it's been five years."
"Well, five years is not short. In this chaotic year, if we can meet again, it is fate. ”
"Yes, I also think it's fate to be able to meet her again."
The two of them gossiped all the way up the hill. The hill is not so much a mountain as a small dirt bag. The top of the hill is overgrown with weeds, interspersed with a few small trees with sparse foliage, and the twisted trunks are hidden in the barren grass, desolate and desolate.
Old Man Lin walked up to the highest point of the hill, then suddenly turned around and asked Zhuang Yichen: "Xiaozhuang, have you heard about the Prime Minister's visit?" ”
"Well, I heard that." He heard about it as soon as he got back to the camp, but he didn't care. After all, the whereabouts of those big people have little to do with him.
Old Man Lin nodded, then tightened his coat, and said solemnly: "Xiaozhuang, you should also know that I must have something to find you when I asked you to come out." Then I won't beat around the bush. ”
"Well, you just have to say it." Zhuang Yichen hurriedly replied.
"The Prime Minister's visit requires two powerful magicians to be his personal bodyguards. There is only one eligible person in our army now, so the camp leaders want you to be the prime minister's bodyguard for a while. ”
"Huh? What the? Zhuang Yichen was stunned for a moment, the intention of the old man Lin to call him out, the most he guessed, that is, the old man wanted to talk about the relationship between him and Lin Xue, but he really didn't expect that it would be related to the prime minister's visit in the end.
Seeing his shocked appearance, Old Man Lin didn't care, and continued to explain in detail: "After the catastrophe of the end times, there are too many weapons scattered outside. The Prime Minister's visit will feature a number of public rally speeches. It is impossible for the military's security department to check every person present one by one, so it is necessary for a magician with strong mental power like you to be present to closely monitor the abnormal situation at the scene and protect the safety of the prime minister. ”
Zhuang Yichen also came back to his senses from the shock, the stakes were very high, and he immediately asked, "Let me go?" Isn't this a bit too child's play? ”
"You're the right person right now. Your file and experience have been investigated by the military. Of all the magicians who meet the requirements, you are the most worthy of our trust. ”
"The military now has no choice but you. Of course, it ultimately depends on your wishes. That's why the camp higher-ups asked me, an old man, to come and test your attitude. Old Man Lin said with a smile.
Zhuang Yichen smiled bitterly and asked again: "Can I have time to think about such a big event?" ”
The old man shook his head, "Unfortunately, no. Time is too short, if you don't want to, then we can only prepare for security as soon as possible, according to the plan of only one magician. ”
Hearing his words, Zhuang Yichen relaxed a little. "So, I don't have to do this, right?"
"Of course, if you don't want to, of course we have other ways." The old man's tone was slightly disappointed.
Zhuang Yichen nodded, and then said with a smile: "That's good, since that's the case, then I'll be at your disposal at any time, within my ability, I won't give up!" ”
Old Man Lin's disappointed eyes lit up suddenly, "So, did you agree?" ”
"Of course, it's just the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter how it is. On the contrary, the scene really reached the point where I could stand alone, then I really didn't dare to agree. It's a lot of responsibility, and I have some strength, and of course I know it. ”
Old Man Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and his appreciation for this young man became more and more in his heart.
"Hehe, good boy! How much ability you have, how much job you can hold, you can see it thoroughly! But don't worry about that. Naturally, we won't let you do anything that is beyond your means. ”
Zhuang Yichen nodded, and the matter was settled. After finishing business, the old and the young, the two of them chatted all the way back home again.
After sitting at Lin Xue's house for a while, Zhuang Yichen said goodbye to Old Man Lin and Lin Xue's mother, and then turned around and left Lin Xue's house.
Lin Xue naturally followed all the way, and the two of them walked side by side on the road, and they were silent for a while.
"Hey, nerd, what did my grandfather and you talk about alone?" Lin Xue finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"Well, it's nothing. He wanted me to be the prime minister's temporary bodyguard. Zhuang Yichen said lightly, I thought Lin Xue would be surprised, but I didn't expect that Lin Xue was just disappointed when it sounded like such a high thing.
"What's wrong? Why are you so disappointed? ”
"I thought that grandpa told you to go out, he was ......, oops, you are such a nerd! Don't talk about it! Lin Xue saw that he looked like an idiot who didn't understand the amorous feelings, glanced at him angrily, and said angrily.
Zhuang Yichen only reacted at this time, he looked at Lin Xue and smiled, hesitated for a long time, and then said softly: "Actually, I'm also quite disappointed." ”
After saying a word, the whole world seemed to be quiet in an instant, and only the hearts of the remaining two people were beating in the ambiguous air, gradually merging into one beat.
All the window paper had been pierced, Zhuang Yichen took a deep breath, and solemnly turned to look at Lin Xue, but he was just about to speak, but he suddenly felt a soft little hand, with a few hints of fingertip coolness, gently holding his hand.
Lin Xue also stopped, then raised her head and looked at Zhuang Yichen's eyes without dodging.
"This time, I don't want to miss it again."
It's too late to dodge, and it's impossible to predict. All the memories of the past came to her heart like a tide, Zhuang Yichen just held that hand tightly, and then said to her,
"Then, let's go on like this from now on."
