"Are you here?......"

While Ji Yuehua knelt on the ground with empty eyes, he saw all this in his eyes, and the first comer who was hiding in the corner and waiting for Ji Yuehua to come also slowly walked out and walked to Ji Yuehua's side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ji Yuehua instinctively glanced at the interlocutor's body...... It wasn't handsome, but it wasn't ugly, with hundreds of strands of gray hair mixed with the iconic square-rimmed glasses...... The person who came was Kong Ciren, who served as his deputy when Nangong Longfei was the commander of the Fifth Division, and has now taken over this position.

Kong Ciren returned to the mainland of the Republic of Sonivia by boat a month earlier than Ji Yuehua and them, and it was only a month earlier. However, at this moment, Kong Ciren looks much haggard compared to a month ago, as if he is more than ten years old, not only has he no energy, his eye bags are deeply sunken, with thick dark circles, and the white hair on his forehead has increased sharply by ten times...... Even fools know "what" happened.

And this "what", Ji Yuehua now understands.

The facts that are seen before us are better than all self-deception...... It's overwhelmingly desperate.

His intellect had understood what was happening, but emotionally there was no way to accept it. Because he couldn't accept it, his brain couldn't help but make up one possibility after another, telling that what he saw in front of him might not be true, but at the same time, another voice reminded him in Ji Yuehua's mind that all this had happened, and beforehand, there were many, many clues pointing to this ending...... He should have noticed, he should have noticed before the day came.

Without dwelling in oneself, one rejects reality, and then even the self begins to reject.

At the same time, too much information is flooding my mind...... Although Ji Yuehua's brain is running rapidly, her mind is close to chaos, and she actually no longer has the ability to think.

"The Marshal of the East said that you would come today, so I was temporarily given a day off...... Really, I didn't expect that I would suddenly take a vacation after becoming a teacher...... However, because Yukino is a very capable child, it doesn't matter if I'm not there, right?"

Seeing Ji Yuehua show an expression like a broken puppet, Kong Ciren sighed silently and sat down next to him.

"If you think about it carefully, we have known each other for a long time, but we haven't seriously sat down to talk about the teacher...... It's also incredible. You're the only disciple of the master, and I've been an assistant to him for more than twenty years, so we should have a lot to talk about. It's just that now it feels ...... None of that matters anymore. ”

Taking out a pot of wine and a white wine glass through the Holy Stigmata, Kong Ciren poured himself a drink as he spoke.

"The division commander died half a month ago. It was only after I came back that I found out that his health had deteriorated dramatically in the past two months. By last month, he was close to not being able to walk...... In order to take care of him, who was unable to move, Commander Okazaki temporarily moved here for a while. At that time, Marshal Dongfang came to visit him every day, and the reason why you can see that this place still maintains the appearance of the division commander during his lifetime is the credit of the two of them. ”

“......”

Hearing Kong Ciren talk about Nangong Longfei, although Ji Yuehua's brain was still in a state of inoperable, because he heard the key word that was most important to him, Ji Yuehua's ears instinctively moved.

Noticing this, knowing that Ji Yuehua had at least begun to listen, Kong Ciren nodded secretly in his heart, and then continued, "Do you know? I've been by his side since before the division commander became the myth of the 13th Division, and no one knows the strength of that person better than me...... There is no way that person will fall. When I heard the news that he was seriously ill, I had only this thought on my mind on the way over. However, when I arrived here, I saw it with my own eyes...... The division commander who always has an indifferent expression on his face and has never failed no matter what difficulties he faces...... It's so hard to even lift your hand...... In the old days, this would not have happened......"

“......”

"Hey! It's a shame to say, do you know how unbelievable I was at the time? Refusing to believe the facts in front of me, I stomped on myself, telling myself that it was just a dream, and that I was still asleep in the Coastal Defense Headquarters, and that I would wake up with just one foot on myself. When I woke up, when I came to this ashram, the master would sit in the middle of the dojo and meditate calmly, and when he saw me walking in in a panic, he would definitely blame me, "Why are I still so immature after so many years...... However, that's true. Seeing me walk in the door with a frightened face, and then stand there again, the division commander just smiled and said lightly, "You're here...... Haha, in front of that person, no matter how young it is...... I'm still me, and I'm still the unsuccessful deputy! Really...... It's a shame. ”

Speaking of this, Kong Ciren suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Ji Yuehua didn't look up...... However, I heard the sound of water dripping on the ground.

Take this as an opportunity...... The clash of thoughts, the rejection of the self, and all the noise of the world seem to have disappeared. All that's left is emotion that bursts like a flood.

"Why...... Why, you didn't tell me!"

When I noticed it, the tears had already fallen uncontrollably, sliding down the white jade cheeks and falling to the floor.

Identity or something, it doesn't matter at all at this point. For the first time since Kong Ciren appeared, Ji Yuehua raised her head to look at this senior teacher, her pale gray eyes glared at Kong Ciren with tears in her eyes, and roared in a whimpering voice, "If Teacher Long Fei's condition deteriorated two months ago, just say it, I will rush back!" It should have been in time...... Why, why don't all of you tell me! I...... Never thought about it...... The last goodbye was goodbye......"

“......”

"I ...... It's been a long time since I've seen Teacher Long Fei...... There are still a lot of things that I haven't said to Teacher Long Fei...... Why, don't let me come back to see him one last time...... Why !!"
