Chapter 111: The Bedside
School hospital wards.
After casting a healing spell, Elaina sat quietly beside Luo Ling, watching her slowly open her eyes.
"I feel much better. Luo Ling sat up, and Elaine put a cushion behind her so that she could lean against the head of the bed.
"You can't do this in the future, even if I'm here, it's too damaging to your body. When you fell in the library, I scanned my body with mental power. There's only one word to describe it......" Elaine paused, her eyes filled with deep concern, "a thousand holes. ”
"There will always be times when you can't help yourself. Luo Ling stretched out her hand and shook Elaina's palm, "Elaina, thank you! Not only do I want to thank you, but the whole school also wants to thank you." ”
"Fortunately, you've revealed that you're magical. According to your words, this time there is a 'body that can't help yourself', that time there is a 'reluctant request', and the next time there is a 'very critical', what will you do then?" Elaina held Luo Ling's hand in front of her chest in both hands and said solemnly, "Promise me." Don't use magic again until you've healed your body. Otherwise, otherwise ......"
"Otherwise, what?" Luo Ling withdrew her arm, propped herself up, and looked at Elaina with wide eyes.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have treated you like this again. Makes you completely dead. ”
"Really?" Luo Ling tilted her head to look at the other party, with a grievance and a smile in her eyes.
"Of course it's true. Elaine affirmed.
"Hey, Elaina doesn't care about me. Luo Ling slumped back on the cushion, and sighed with pity.
"Nonsense. ”
"But so what? Anyway, others are always unreliable, and I'm used to being alone. Luo Ling was already sad and lost at this time.
Of course, Elaina knew that she was playing treasure, but she was keenly aware of the truth from Luo Ling's words, which made her feel a pain in her heart.
"I never said that it doesn't matter ...... you" She sat down next to Luo Ling lightly and looked at Luo Ling, "But the way you look, do you think of the past?"
"Well, now is not the time for gossip. Luo Ling lowered her head and did not look at Elaina.
"What's gossip? You know, elves are very sensitive, and I just touched that sadness in your heart...... Has anyone ever left you?" Elaine took her hand again.
"When we come into this world, we say goodbye to the past. Yes, no, it doesn't make sense to think about it. Maybe God has divided my life into two so that I can abandon the past and embrace a new life......" Luo Ling said these words very slowly, as if she was weighing words, but halfway through the words, a tear fell on Elaina's hand.
"However, memories cannot be discarded. For better or for worse, they are all part of who we are. As an elf who has lived for two hundred years, the most feared thing is oblivion. Even painful memories are precious. Elaine reached out to wipe the tears from Luo Ling's cheeks. The elf's hands are delicate and gentle, but this softness is the one that breaks through the hardness of the heart.
The more she wiped, the more Luo Ling burst into tears.
Finally, Luo Ling cried out. She hadn't cried since she came here, but at this moment, she felt that she could no longer suppress the boiling emotions in her heart. So many days of longing, pain and confusion, so many days of struggle, perseverance and sacrifice, finally like a flood that has found a mouth and rushed down.
She lay on Elaina's shoulders and sobbed without an image, tears and snot quickly wetting the other's shoulders. Elaine gently wrapped her arms around her waist and let her vent. But it didn't take long for her to remember all the things in the slave camp in her crying, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
After a while, Luo Ling regrouped her emotions and said with red circles in her eyes: "Before, there was such a person, we went to high school together. I skipped a grade, and although I was in the same class, he was several years older than me and took good care of me. We were always number one and number two in school, and then we went to MIT together, and he was very nice to me in a foreign country, and I didn't feel lonely when I had him.
When we graduated from college, we got engaged, and everyone thought we would be happy, just like the princes and princesses in fairy tales. However, reality is not a story after all, and we have all changed since then. I was a very strong person at the time, and I didn't know how to compromise in my feelings. And he, the person I fancied, how could he be submissive? There are too many contradictions accumulated between us, and the more we get along, the farther our hearts become.
He's very good, so there are many temptations. There is a professor's daughter...... Forget it, let's not talk about that. Anyway, when I finally wanted to go back to China, he chose to stay, and I gave him the ring back. Originally, there were a lot of vows, but all of them can't withstand the changes brought about by time......" Luo Ling walked away from Yelena's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I said a lot of things that you don't understand. ”
"I don't understand some of what you're saying, but I can understand your heart. I think he made a big mistake. Elaine pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her tears and snot.
"Who knows? When a person makes a choice, he will always find all kinds of reasons. I face left, he faces right, and they all have their own reasons. I can't say that my reasons are more important and noble than his. After all, which one I turned around to leave first. Luo Ling saw the bewitching elf dragging the snot bubble for the first time, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "So this world without him is also very good, there are everyone, you, and a certain nasty guy......"
"Actually, I won't leave you alone. For us, who have a lifespan of nearly 1,000 years, what about accompanying a person for 100 years?"
"Don't say things like that. A hundred years is too long, let's just seize the day. Luo Ling stretched out her hand and scratched Elaina's nose, "Don't worry, I will think of a solution to this matter, and I am reluctant to delay you for a hundred years." ”
The elf's face suddenly turned red, she bit her lip, and said angrily, "You, you, don't underestimate the elf's promise." ”
Luo Ling wanted to tease her a few words. But I heard a knock on the door of the ward.
The two looked at each other, and Elaina hurriedly cast a healing spell on their eye sockets, and half a minute later, the two dignified beauties returned, their red noses and swollen eyes long gone.
Elaine opened the door, and Zhou Xiaoren stood outside the door carrying some fruits.
"Miss Elaina, I have some business to talk about with Team Leader Luo, can you please recuse yourself. ”
"Elaine, you go out first. Please come in, Team Leader. ”
Elaine glanced at his fruit, snorted coldly, and walked out of the room to bring the door, but the person did not leave, but stood at the door of the ward.
Zhou Xiaoren walked into the room, put the fruit on the cabinet, rubbed his hands and walked to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling looked at him expressionlessly, giving Zhou Xiaoren a lot of pressure.
"Well, Team Leader Luo looks good. Presumably recovers well. Zhou Xiaoren was the first to break the silence.
"Team Leader Zhou has something to say directly. Everyone who should have come to see me just now, and I'm a little tired. ”
"Team Leader Luo, although the school was attacked this time, in the end, with the cooperation of several of our departments, we finally succeeded in repelling the invaders and maintaining the stability of the school and the camp. What a blessing. Zhou Xiaoren said, "I came today, not only to thank you for your support on behalf of the intelligence group, but also on behalf of me, thank you personally for team leader Luo for turning the tide with magic at the critical moment." ”
"Luckily, those of us who survived. For those who have died, this is a literal disaster. Did Team Leader Zhou make a clear count of the school's personnel losses this time?"
Zhou Xiaoren's face was a little difficult to look at, how could he not know that this was the culprit of his lack of thought in the past few days. He forced a smile and said, "This, Team Leader Luo still needs to rest, I don't think there is any need to talk about these official matters today." ”
"How can you not talk about business with Team Leader Zhou? Maybe Team Leader Zhou is not very clear, so I will report the numbers from my side. In the five camps, 37 civilians died due to riots, the school was attacked by ice bats, 5 civilians died, 5 people died in the security team of the camp management office, and 32 people died in the school guard camp. All sacrifices!" Speaking of the last few words, Luo Ling's voice was terrifyingly cold, "A total of 79 people died, and countless people were injured. Team Leader Zhou. You call this a blessing?"
"It was an enemy attack that was too sudden and too ferocious. Zhou Xiaoren argued.
"Too suddenly? If you hadn't suddenly launched it the day before they acted, it would have taken a startle. I can calmly arrange my manpower as planned, and Crete will be placed in a safer place by me, and there will be more people around to protect me. The camp will also be more prepared and will be able to solve problems in a more peaceful way. The two transferred mercenary groups can also be put in place, most of the school's troops will not be pinned down by the ice bats, and Cai Long and they will not sacrifice so much! We may even capture that Lorenzo alive and wipe everything invisible. ”
"If you inform us of the arrangement, how can things be so passive?" Zhou Xiaoren's voice became louder, and he glared at Luo Ling angrily, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Team Leader Zhou, I've looked for you a few times, and you've looked for me a few times. Today, this seems to be the first time you have taken the initiative to come to me, right?" Luo Ling looked at him, and there seemed to be a thousand pressures in his eyes, forcing Zhou Xiaoren to take a step back.
"Actually, you're late, and I have already submitted the report of the whole incident to the committee. Team Leader Zhou has time to think about how to face the committee's questioning. ”
Zhou Xiaoren was very embarrassed when he left, and he fell outside the door.
Yelena pushed the door in, and Luo Ling asked, "It's not your ghost outside, right?"
"How could I do such a boring thing. Yelena stuck out her tongue as she closed the door with her back to Luo Ling.
