Chapter 1374: Give Up
In the afternoon of the next day, in the library of the First Academy, Lin San saw Yi Han's familiar figure.
She struggled to squeeze out a smile when he saw herself, but he seemed to be able to see the tears hidden deep behind her.
He stood up and waved at her, with a smile on his face like a breeze: "Yo, I haven't seen you for the past few days, where have you been? I thought you had given up on me as a book friend, ha!"
"I didn't...... It's just that the body is a little uncomfortable. Her expression became even more unnatural, but she still slowly sat down beside Lin San.
"Seriously, it's not a big deal, right?"
There was concern in his tone, it wasn't acting but it was really heartache.
"It's okay, I've never been in good shape, I'm used to it......"
"Oh......"
"Well, I recommended you to watch the "Yingcao Collection" last time, have you seen it?"
"I've seen it, but when you asked like this, I suddenly felt like I was assigned homework by the teacher, and now I want to check it, haha, Teacher Yi!" Lin San tried his best to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, so that the depression in her heart was relieved.
However, it seemed to be futile, she really didn't know much about jokes, and when she heard this joke, she didn't just laugh and groan.
Instead, he waved his hands apologetically, as if he had done something wrong, and said anxiously: "No, no, I don't think so." I just think those sentences are very beautiful, so I want to share them with you, I don't mean to force you to read them......"
The smile on Lin San's face became helpless, sometimes he really hoped that she could be 'strong', and not always think that she was wrong and that she had offended others.
"I'm kidding, you don't have to take it seriously. ”
"Oh......" She naturally couldn't blame him, she probably didn't know how to blame anyone else.
In the following time, the two began to discuss the contents of the "Yingcao Collection".
In fact, Lin San was not very interested in beautiful prose poems, he preferred to be straightforward and flat, and to speak simple things that people could understand at a glance, although his mind was often complicated.
He was a pragmatic man, even in literature.
But if the subject of the discussion is her, he is willing to let himself change a little. For him, there is no reluctance.
It's just that at this moment, his mind is not in the conversation in front of him.
Why don't you invite yourself to the woods tonight?
To be honest, after eavesdropping on that conversation and understanding her distress, Lin San's mood was already extremely complicated.
Although she won't deal with herself cheaply, she can't help herself no matter what, and she is more pitiful than herself. Caught between herself and Yuan Yao, but it was her eldest brother's life that was at stake, this game was really cruel for a girl like her.
Last night, he had decided to kill Yuan Yao several times, yes, as long as he died, her troubles would be gone, and she would be able to return to her former carefree appearance.
However, in the end, he did not dare to do so.
He is Lin San, not Mu Zheping who kills people like mowing grass.
Although he had served as a soldier and fought in battle, he had never killed a person in the past three years, let alone the peaceful and peaceful experience of those years in the other world.
Maybe until the moment of life and death, he can't be so ruthless. That's an outlaw, and he's a sane man. Until there is no way out, he will not go to the step of killing.
Killing is a common thing for many cultivators, but for him who comes from another world, it is a taboo heavy word.
And other than that, can you kill if you want to? After killing, how should you deal with the aftermath? Once exposed, you will be completely finished. This time, it's not as chaotic as Xinyu City was back then.
So now, he doesn't know what to do.
He didn't want to watch Yi Han suffer all the time, but what could he help her? He could make Yuan Yao listen to himself? Can he intervene in the Southwest Corps on the front line?
No, not even Fu Bo.
The only thing he could help her seemed to be to withdraw from the competition, so that Yuan Yao would not force her......
However, how can that be willing!
That's what he deserved, and if he quit by himself, wouldn't it be as the bastard wished, so that his plan succeeded? In the story, isn't it always the good guys who get the good retribution, and the bad guys get the miserable end they deserve?
At this time, he couldn't even comfort her, and he had to pretend that he didn't know anything.
At this moment, he only felt extremely powerless. In the past, I saw the love-hate entanglement of the so-called wealthy aristocrats in the story books, and saw the things that many big people did in the history books, but I just felt that it was nothing more than that. After that, I also had the children of wealthy families around me, and I felt that it was very common, and they were actually ordinary people!
However, now, Yuan Yao, the son of a family who is not a big man, has only slightly revealed a little shady, which makes it difficult for ordinary people like them to turn over, and there is no way out like a nightmare. Even if you know that the other party is going to deal with you, even if you know that he is bullying this girl, what can you do?
All this is because of power, because of the power that power brings.
Yi Han may never know what the ordinary man in front of her is thinking, she is once again immersed in literature, maybe only at this time, she can forget her troubles for a while.
But this is only temporary after all, and the literary exchange between them is like a wonderful dream of temporary escape, and when they wake up, reality will be squeezed again.
That afternoon, Lin San tried her best to find a topic, trying to make her unable to be idle, unable to be quiet.
However, even so, many negative colors such as fear, worry, and panic still flashed through her spring-clear eyes from time to time, and her current mood may be more complicated and heavy than herself, right?
Lin San suddenly found that she was countless times stronger than she imagined. Translocation, in exchange for her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to force a smile.
Perhaps he has fallen into depravity, and simply dragged his own 'innocent man' into the water.
But she didn't, and from beginning to end, she didn't mention the word battle plate at all. There was no mention of any front-line battlefields, she didn't say anything.
Until the evening, it was time for the two to separate.
She just left, not following the plan Yuan Yao said. Maybe the reason why she came here today was because of hesitation and hesitation, one side was her eldest brother's life, the other side was her own future, and it was her heart that decided.
In the end, she still made a choice, she couldn't bear to hurt herself.
Until her back was about to disappear at the door, Lin San finally couldn't control his steps, and he decided to 'make a mistake' once.
That's it, the chance to rise is not the only one to compete in this battle, isn't it?
With his military talents, sooner or later he will be able to get new opportunities. Even if you compete, you can still participate again after two years, right?
Just let that miscellaneous get away with it, what's the point of continuing to let her suffer in pain in order to fight with him?
"Wait!"
She looked at Lin San who was chasing after her with a surprised expression, and immediately worried in her eyes, as if she was afraid that he would be used by Yuan Yao if she followed her.
"There's something I haven't told you, and I don't know what to say. He let out a long breath, and at this moment he finally made up his mind.
"What's the matter?" his somewhat mysterious tone made her curious.
"Actually, I don't want to keep competing. But you only knew me because of the battle, which made me difficult to talk about, for fear that if I gave up, I would lose your friend. ”
"Huh?" her mouth opened, as if she had been blinded by the sudden news.
Lin San scratched his head with a wry smile: "You won't blame me, hehe, I just participated in the competition for fun, and I don't want to be on the battlefield at all." This competition continues, what if I get the first place and the court and the military department send me to fight, I don't want to do that, my leg was injured on the battlefield, and now I just want to live a peaceful life......"
He babbled on and on for reasons that seemed to make sense, while Yi Han was stunned and lost the ability to speak for a while.
"Why don't you speak? Well, I know you're probably going to be disappointed with my decision, but I'm a person who hasn't had any big ambitions. Are you going to look down on me because of that?"
"No, no, how could I look down on you......" She shook her hand busily, her eyes showing unconcealable joy.
But immediately, she couldn't help but whisper and persuade: "But if you give up such an opportunity like this, won't you regret it in the future?"
It seemed that she was afraid that Lin San would change her mind again because of these words, but she regretted it first, so she couldn't help but quickly cover her mouth.
That cute and delicate appearance almost made Lin San laugh.
Well, a smile for the Boi, it seems to be worth it.
At least it was much smaller than the price paid by the king who lit the beacon fire, he secretly comforted himself in his heart, but his mouth was righteous Ling Ran: "How can I regret it? At least now I do have this thought." I think it's better not to be impulsive for the time being until you have made up your mind. As for the future, who knows? Even if you regret it, it will be two years away. Don't you have confidence in my strength?"
"Of course there is!"
"But I don't think you seem to have much interest in the battle plate, do you really know the battle plate?"
"Ah...... I, I ......" made her nervous again, and perhaps it was only at this time that she realized how much of a hole she had been 'performing'.
Lin San couldn't help but sigh secretly that she really didn't know how to joke, so she had to be serious.
"What are you nervous about, there are no girls in the command department, won't it be normal. If you want to learn in the future, I'll teach you. ”
"Uh-huh!" she quickly nodded her little head.
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow, I've been under pressure for the past few days because of the competition, but now that I've said it, I'm in a much better mood. ”
Her mood should have been much better, and the haze that had hung over her head all this time was finally gone. She really needs to go out to change her mood, and stay away from that Yuan Yao by the way.
Sure enough, after he made this proposal, she immediately showed a look of yearning.
"Okay!"
"Then I'll come here tomorrow morning to find you. ”
"Hmm!"
