It was already clear in a few words, when Jiao Ming and Ice Lotus were respectively stuffed into apprenticeships, it was just a situation that no one paid attention to, and when the new alchemy and spatial teleportation mining began, the status of these people rose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 On this basis, Ms. Zi Yu secretly sent people to protect Jiao Ming's qi magic apprentices, but she turned a blind eye to the personal safety crisis of those fire magic apprentices, and only waited to teach Bing Lian a lesson after the accident.

Jiao Ming remembered the scene he had seen in the dream space: Binglian, who was only six or seven years old, was held in the arms of Ms. Ziyu and watched a coolie being beaten to death. Thinking about the cause and effect, I once again deeply felt the huge conflict between the three views of the people of the two worlds, so I had to sigh: "The matter has come to this, I don't need to blame anything for the morality of my hometown, I just hope that you will learn a lesson, and that unlucky ghost will also die well." ”

When Bing Lian heard this, she stared at Jiao Ming's eyes and said, "Although according to my mother, this is a course that only lords have, but I tell you so bluntly, I just want you to learn this too, as the duke's husband." These last few words were specially accented by Binglian.

Jiao Ming was completely confused, his heart was beating like a drum, and the thoughts in his mind were only disbelief and doubt. Is it not just a confession, but a further 'marriage proposal'? Even if Binglian really likes herself like the three major illusions in life, she will not ignore feudal etiquette and the traditional culture of the crocodile collar, so she will directly propose marriage in such an unreasonable way. Well, considering my own history of mental illness, nine out of ten auditory hallucinations have not run away.

Jiao Ming, who had come to a conclusion in his heart, blushed and stammered, "What are ......you talking about? I didn't seem to hear it clearly. ”

Bing Lian didn't answer Jiao Ming's nonsense, but talked about the side: "The Advanced Magic Academy is an aristocratic academy, and in view of the noble status of the students, in addition to the students themselves, there are some retinue places, and these entourages can even follow into the classroom to audit the class. Your talent for qi magic is at an upper level, but you have a lot of research ability, and if you can receive some formal qi magic education, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

After finishing this basic information, Binglian asked, "How is it?" Are you interested in going to the Advanced Magic Academy with me?" ”

Jiao Ming blinked his eyes a few times, remembered the talent policy of the Crocodile Collar: 'If you want to go, you can leave your children and grandchildren', and gradually clarified his thoughts a little, and asked: "If we get married, I can leave the Crocodile Collar and go to the Advanced Magic Academy to audit?"

Bing Lian stiffened her expression and nodded, but her cheeks were uncontrollably red.

Jiao Ming's expression was serious, and after a moment of contemplation, he made a decision. Referring to the last conversation with Luohua, first of all, you must not hurt the heart of other girls, otherwise you will be too scumbag, but if you agree to this kind of thing just because the other party is beautiful, it is even more scum. So I can only take a compromise solution: a tactful delay, and I said carefully and carefully:

"I'm so happy I don't know what to say. Jiao Ming looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with the most sincere eyes, and only after looking away slightly did he say: "But just to get married just so that I can go to audit the class, your sacrifice is too great." Let's get engaged first, and then get married when you're about twenty years old. This will not only give you more time to get to know me, but also give me a chance to pursue you. Second, let's see if we can bluff those old-fashioned ......."

"Don't say it!" Bing Lian interrupted in a trembling voice, and asked with red circles in her eyes, "You just don't want to, do you?"

Jiao Ming didn't expect that the delaying tactic actually had the opposite effect, causing Bing Lian to respond so fiercely, and at the moment of being stunned, Bing Lian turned her head, got up and walked outside the house. Jiao Ming stepped forward and grabbed Binglian's arm, but he was torn away, and took another step to hold Binglian in his arms from behind with both arms, feeling the struggle of the girl's slender body, and reluctantly chose to tell the truth: "It's true that I don't want to get married, but it's definitely because I don't like you or anything else." It's just that when I came to this world, I was always uneasy and had no sense of stability. So please give me some more time. ”

Binglian stopped struggling and asked, "Really?"

"There's another reason. I'm probably a machismo and a perfectionist, and I have to do this kind of thing, and I can't accept a marriage that is not out of love, so don't talk about exchanging marriage. Jiao Ming hugged the ice lotus and said slowly, not only confiding, but also dissecting his heart.

The sincere words from the heart have their own persuasive power, Binglian believed this passage, and then asked, "Then when can you settle down and propose to me?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it will be long. ”

"Then it's settled. ”

Jiao Ming was about to agree, but he felt a line of sight staring behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that Xiao Shizheng's eyes widened, as if he was an ignorant child who saw an intimate camera on TV, although he was shy, he was even more endlessly curious. Jiao Ming then remembered that there was a light bulb in the room, and this little thing between him and Binglian just now was all seen through, and he was so embarrassed that his old face turned red, and he scolded with a straight face: "What do you see, I didn't see you so serious when you were studying!"

"Hmph, it's not just about falling in love, I've seen a lot. Xiao Shi pursed her lips, looking not unusual, but immediately asked with her eyes shining, "Are my brother and Sister Binglian going to get married?"

Such childlike words were extremely harmful, and Jiao Ming and Binglian stiffened at the same time.

"I'll go back first. Binglian dropped such a sentence, easily broke away from Jiao Ming's arms, and escaped out of the house. After a long time, Jiao Ming called out softly: "Luohua?"

"I'm here. ”

Outside the door, there was the sound of a flower.

"Ice Lotus is gone?"

"Hmm. ”

"Come in. I dislocated my arm, help me get it fit. Jiao Ming commanded with a wry smile. At the same time, there was a muttering in his heart, when Binglian broke free just now, he easily dislocated himself, so what did it mean to be easily hugged by himself earlier, and he would not fall into the trap?

"You bear with it, it might hurt a little. ”

"Oh. Ah......h Then in the haze of tears, I saw Luohua's face, and I deeply realized how terrible a jealous woman was.

......

On this morning, the word 'stupid*' appeared again on the paper on Jiao Ming's desk, and then Jiao Ming was summoned by Ms. Ziyu, who first chatted for a while, and then asked about the work. Jiao Ming gradually saw some clues, the purpose of this conversation was ninety percent related to yesterday's Ice Lotus, and he said with some nervousness: "There are still some qi magic experiments to be done below, if there is nothing to do......"

"Well, one more thing. "Lady Purple Feather is full of aristocratic manners, at least she doesn't seem to want to be a mother who is worried that her daughter will be abducted by bad men.

"You've been getting along with Binglian a lot lately?"

"It's okay. Jiao Ming said secretly, sure enough, he controlled his expression and did not show flaws.

"I'm not going around in circles anymore. No matter what the two of you discuss, if you raise your qi magic to the sixth ring, I will agree with you to pursue the Ice Lotus. ”

"......" Jiao Ming opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing how to speak, he never expected that Ms. Ziyu could be so simple and direct.

"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Lady Purple Feather waved her hand.

Jiao Ming walked out of the room in a daze, and was blocked by Xia Feng that night, and politely asked Jiao Ming about the conversation with Ms. Ziyu.

"Binglian asked you to ask?"

"Yes. ”

Jiao Ming shook his head helplessly, since they separated yesterday, he hadn't seen the figure of Binglian for a whole day, but he didn't know if he was really busy or shy and deliberately avoided it.

"I talked to Lady Purple Feather about some qi magic, so tell Ice Lotus like this. Jiao Ming pondered for a moment and replied like this, the reason for not telling the truth is that it can't be as simple and direct as Ms. Ziyu.

This little turmoil passed like this, and in the next few days, Binglian gradually returned to her previous mode of getting along with Jiao Ming, neither twisting nor dodging. This made Jiao Ming breathe a sigh of relief, recalled all kinds of information related to love on the earth, and cast them on the ice lotus one by one. Due to his lack of experience and lack of talent in this area, he is generally more awkward and joyful, and less romantic and warm.

But love is magical, and gradually Jiao Ming found that he was thinking less and less about life on earth, and he was more and more motivated to work. After the completion of the comparative experimental design of the new fitness to improve the number of magic warrior rings, a breakthrough was made in the space communication device and the design and manufacture of the two-way magic communication box was completed. When the second reinforced concrete building was completed, it was successfully commissioned, and a special telegraph communication between the cement kiln and the alchemy factory was realized. Although it could only be Jiao Ming talking to the six-ring magic warrior apprentice, this was also a qualitative leap.

The new two-way magic communication box is not complicated, but it is just a clever superposition of two sets of boxes, which means that when one box is signaling, the other box can only passively answer, and vice versa. Despite this, the crocodile leaders who had never seen the telephone network were still overjoyed, as if they were naughty boys who had gotten new toys, and often sent each other some nonsense in the name of testing, which made Jiao Ming very annoying.

A few days later, the novelty of several old naughty boys about the communication box finally passed, and Jiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that the weather began to get warmer. Frowning, Jiao Ming always felt that something was missing, and then remembered that there was no Spring Festival here. Jiao Ming's subtle abrupt emotion was discovered by Binglian, and under questioning, Jiao Ming also told the truth.

"Homesick?"

"I can't say it, it's just a little unaccustomed. ”

"Then let's get one too?"

"It's useless. If it is indecent, it will only increase the sadness. Jiao Ming shook his head.

That night, Binglian came into a dream and once again exerted the dream space, and the scene was the scene of the family reunion for the New Year in Jiao Ming's memory. The fly in the ointment is that Jiao Ming and Binglian are like phantoms standing in the crowd, and they can only watch others happy.

"Thank you. ”

"Is this the Chinese New Year, but you don't look very happy?" asked Binglian as she looked around, then pointed to a young man who looked like Jiao Ming.

"It seems that because of the firecrackers, I wanted to buy some fancy ones, but my father didn't agree. Jiao Ming thought back for a moment and then explained, looking at the young self in his memory, and showing a smile.

"Who is this woman? so beautiful!" Ice Lotus made a new discovery.

"My uncle's girlfriend looks beautiful because of makeup, I've seen the look after removing makeup, but it's not as beautiful as you. ”

"Which is your uncle? I want to see such a wise man. "Speaking of Jiao Ming's uncle, Binglian became interested.

"That's where dumplings are made in the living room over there. ”

Binglian followed her fingers, and Jiao Ming wandered through the dynamic curtain scene, feeling the warmth and happiness that overflowed the room. After a while, Binglian's laughter came from the living room, Jiao Ming walked over and saw that a sketch of the Spring Festival Gala was being performed on TV, and Binglian was lying on the sofa holding her stomach and laughing.

The two watched the TV program for half an hour like this, and finally Binglian said with some regret: "It's almost time." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

"I also want to see what the woman looks like after she takes off her makeup. ”

"You're really ......" Jiao Ming shook his head helplessly, trying to recall the switching scenes, as Binglian intended. "If it's a memory I've forgotten, can I use this dream space to retrieve it?"

"The so-called forgotten memories are so small that people can't remember them, and they don't disappear. And this dream space can only reproduce memory scenes above a certain standard line. After the ice lotus finished explaining, she waved her hand, and the scene faded and then scattered like sand. When he woke up in the morning, Jiao Ming found that his tears were wetting his pillow.

......

A few days later, when the third reinforced concrete building was halfway up, there was a heavy snowfall, knee-high on the flats, and a man-high snow in some leeward corners. Xiao Shi couldn't stand the purging of the scales, and dozens of children of all sizes played heartily for an afternoon, and the next day he had a fever, Jiao Ming was shocked and took care of Xiao Shi with Luohua, fortunately, his condition did not deteriorate, and he recovered on the seventh day when the snow melted.

Two days later, the Magicians Association sent a message that due to some force majeure factors, the opening date of the Advanced Magic Academy was postponed by fifteen days, that is, the opening day would start twenty days after the Spring Ploughing Festival, and Miss Binglian was asked to prepare all kinds of supplies and not be late. And counting the days, the ice lotus still has about thirty days to stay in the crocodile territory.

"The last way I said ......"

"I said I was a perfectionist. Jiao Ming interrupted.

"But I want you to go with me. ”

"Ahem...... You tapped, and your hands were crushed. "Jiao Ming's forgiveness of the scenery.

"You should try that muscle building yourself. Binglian suggested without complaints.

"You must practice, you must practice. In the afternoon, I'll go to the iron group to sign up, so let's do it. Jiao Ming first smiled and agreed, and then changed the topic and said: "But I think it's better to cultivate more qi magic, if we can increase the teleportation distance of the teleportation box, wouldn't we be able to chat and talk thousands of miles apart." ”

Binglian immediately forgot about the muscle training method, followed this line of thought and thought about it, and then drove Jiao Ming into the laboratory without saying anything, leaving only one sentence: "Don't come out without successful research!"

Jiao Ming smiled helplessly.
