Chapter 111: Words from the Heart
It's night.
In this silent and sleep-inducing environment, Jeff stared at bloodshot eyes, faint dark circles were revealed, and the fierce battle with the monster the night before, this was the second night he hadn't slept much. However, he didn't have the tenacious spirit of Lin Qiu and the heart of a night owl.
To make matters worse, in a lethargic state, he also has to work hard to help Jim regain his memory.
After countless failures, Jeff finally had an idea before he fell asleep, and he cleared his throat and said, "Hey, I only have one last way to save you now!" ”
Jeff knew it was a palliative solution, but for now he could only try to fool him around. If he really can't remember, let him help Jim "make up" a memory to deal with the past, and if Lilith and Lin Qiu ask any key questions tomorrow, Jeff can also prevaricate with excuses such as not fully recovered.
"Okay, let's train again! What's your name?"
Jeff looked at Jim, and Jim looked at Jeff.
Then, Jim's lips moved, "Balloon." ”
"It's Jim, not a balloon!" Although the first attempt failed, Jeff was a little surprised in his heart, this was probably the first time in a few hours that Jim communicated with him normally, so he patiently taught the other party: "Tell me again, Jim-——!"
"Balloon ——!"
After a few more patient attempts, Jeff went berserk.
He soothed his mood for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart, and changed the subject: "But Lilith they may not ask you this question, but you must remember this question clearly, it is related to your future career! Your boss is a little girl named Lilith, remember, Lilith!"
"Balloon!" Jim raised his hand, answering Jeff's call.
"How much do you like balloons! You're not like me, you're a Templar. Although you are a knight of the twenty-three neutral countries, you should have a wife and children long ago with your status, and if you are fired for contradicting your boss, it will be a little bad in all aspects!"
Seeing that the plan failed, Jeff's attitude changed, and he played the emotional card: "The life of the unemployed is very difficult now, before I went to the Wind Furnace Academy to become a teacher, I worked odd jobs everywhere for a long time, not only did I have to suffer the ridicule of other knights, but I was also pitiful, and I spent all my money after drinking a few glasses of wine......"
Lin Qiu tiptoed outside the door, Jeff's previous conversation was quite normal, but now he suddenly digressed, when talking about the days of unemployed vagrants, Jeff seemed to completely leave Jim behind, and criticized the reality of the imperial capital vigorously.
"Life is definitely harder than you can imagine, and once you make a little money, your friends will come to you like vampires and squeeze every gold coin out of you!
Jeff angrily echoed the scene:
He was holding a wine bottle and was drunk on the bar alone. Then a long knife was placed around his neck, and a group of men with Mohican's head surrounded him, saying, "Hey, drunk, we've been a little tight lately, hand over all the gold coins on our bodies for me!"
"Hey, what a bunch of fox friends!" Jeff spat at the thought of anger.
Don't leave everything to your fox friends! You're just being robbed!
Lin Qiu's hands trembled and almost fell into the room.
Jeff still gushed: "Anyway, life is like this, the boss is always difficult to serve, and the friends who came to you when you were brilliant will also kick you away when you are down." So I advise you to pull yourself together quickly, and don't end up drinking like me. In fact, I have already decided to submit my resignation to the college after the school's review is completed, and sure enough, it is still too difficult for me to teach students this kind of thing. ”
Jeff's words made Lin Qiu outside the door slightly flustered.
He never expected to overhear such content, and the previous Jeff would stay in the Wind Furnace Academy even if he was dead-faced.
"Forget it, I've given up, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover if you don't have ten days and half a month. ”
How can anyone persuade himself when he persuades others!
Through the crack in the door, Lin Qiu saw Jeff coming to the window alone.
"I thought I could completely abandon my old self as long as I stayed at the Furnace Academy, but I only recently realized that nothing seemed to have changed. When you meet someone important, you will still be like a young person, stunned and want to be in the limelight, and you will also make promises that you can't fulfill. If there's anything I can do, it's probably to get those young people not to repeat the mistakes of the past and follow my path...... However, the children of the Wind Furnace Academy are already excellent knights, and this academy no longer needs me. ”
After that, Jeff was silent for a moment before turning to Jim and saying, "I'm sorry for listening to some inexplicable things, but some things are still going to be spit out." Rest well, I'll apologize to Tyre and Lilith tomorrow. ”
Jeff stared at Jim, and he suddenly felt a slight gleam in Jim's eyes.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds......
"You're so long-winded. This was Jim's first sentence to speak in its entirety.
Hey?
Huh——!?
Jeff's body froze, Jim in his sight had already sat up, he plucked his ears impatiently, and said, "You said you want to resign? No problem, if you can't open your mouth yourself, I can relay it on your behalf, so can I ask you to lie down on the bed and sleep well?"
"It's not...... That one...... Amnesia, aren't you amnesia?"
"Anyway, I'm also a Templar, how can I lose my memory because of this kind of thing?" Jim shook his neck, his bones creaking, "It's just that some facts are difficult to tell, and I don't know how to talk to the eldest lady for a while, so I followed the doctor's diagnosis and rested here for a night to think about countermeasures, but thanks to you, my ears were buzzing all night, and I didn't even think of a single countermeasure." ”
"I'm sorry!"
Jeff lay on the bed like a walking corpse and covered his entire head with the quilt.
What a shame!
"Even so, I should thank you. After a long silence in the ward, Jim spoke, looking sullenly at the moonlight outside the window: "If I can't convey the news to the eldest lady for various reasons, maybe I will regret it in the future." Then Jim glanced at the door of the ward and raised his voice, "Come in, guy at the door, I just have something to say to you." ”
