Chapter Ninety-Five: No More Rotten
"Panna!"
The nightingale chased Pan Na to the alley near the restaurant, put her arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, let's go back and rest tonight." ”
"I can't even control my fiancé, will you think I'm useless......"
Panna sniffed and whispered, "I don't want to hit him, but when I see him like this, I feel very uncomfortable, very irritable, I can't control myself, my mouth is stupid......
"Am I wrong? Shouldn't I expect anything from others? But only to him I will do this, only him, only he ......"
"I don't know what happened to you guys."
Nightingale rubbed her shoulders and said, "But I think it should be a happy thing for two people to be together, since everyone is not happy now......
"I suggest you separate for a while to calm down, maybe it will be better."
"We've been separated for almost four years, and I can't hold it anymore."
Pan Na lowered her head, "I haven't told you about his previous affairs, I married him by the fingers, and I have lived together since I was a child, so I am a childhood sweetheart."
"When I was a kid, I was a tomboy, where do I know the difference between men and women? I like to play with him in the mud, catch insects, climb trees, and fight without admitting defeat.
"It wasn't until later that I awakened the inheritance, and at that time I only knew that my strength had increased. Then there was a quarrel with him, and the reason was forgotten, anyway, it was a quarrel between the little kids, and we started scuffling.
"I had already pressed him to the ground at the time, but he kept looking at me with unyielding, and I still remember that stubborn look.
"He yelled at me: What is so great about the inheritor! If you can be an inheritor, so can I!
"It was like I had won that fight, and I never saw him again. But within half a year, he suddenly came back to me for revenge, and this time he really awakened the inheritance.
I can't remember what happened, I only know that in the end I was pressed under him and couldn't move, he sat on top of me and smiled stupidly: I didn't expect it, I'm back again!
"Maybe that's when I suddenly fell in love with him. I've always felt that he is a man who doesn't admit defeat, works hard and is strong.
"Except for the fight I had when I first woke up, I have the impression that he is better than me in fighting insects, climbing trees, or whatever.
"I thought he and I would always be together like we used to, but when he awakened the lineage, it seemed like everything had changed......
"When I went to play with him again, he said to me: we are already inheritors, we have grown up, and we should no longer play childish games like fighting insects.
Then he turned around and followed his father to various parties, and met a group of friends who drank and meat. One morning, I found him kissing his maid......
It seems that the identity of the inheritor is just a pass for him to the wine pond meat forest.
"Maybe from that day on, he and I will never be able to go back to the past."
Panna leaned weakly into the nightingale's arms, her smile a little bitter, "I just want to work hard with him, struggle together, and live every day as full and happy as before, that's all."
"Hah...... Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. I'm really tired and don't want to continue. ”
"Nana......" Nightingale didn't know what to say, so she could only give a hug back.
"You're here, I've been looking for a long time."
At this time, Jiang Qiyi walked over from the entrance of the alley and asked with concern, "Can we help in any way?" ”
"I'm fine."
Panna straightened up from Nightingale's arms, "I'm sorry for tonight's incident, I shouldn't have been so impulsive and embarrassed you." ”
"Don't say sorry to us, you didn't do anything to be sorry for us."
Jiang shook his head, "If you can, say it to Harvey, no matter what, what you said tonight is a bit excessive." ”
"If I meet him again, I will."
Panna took a deep breath, "I'll honestly apologize to him and forget all about him." ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked at Panna with a little surprise.
They know that even though Panna rarely mentions her fiancé in the past four years, Harvey has always been a very important presence in her heart.
For this reason, she not only rejected all suitors with good family background and strength without discrimination, but also secretly prepared birthday gifts for Harvey's birthday every year.
She plans to wait until the day they get together to give him these birthday presents together.
"You need to be calm......"
Jiang Qi was halfway through his words, and when he saw Pan Na's determined eyes, he had to sigh and say instead, "Okay, don't mention this, everyone is still hungry, let's go eat elsewhere first." ”
"Hmm."
……
In the private room of the restaurant, only a little bit of the dishes on the table were eaten, but no one was in the mood to move chopsticks at this time.
Arya stood up with some hesitation: "I—I'll go and see how Panna-chan is doing." ”
Roy nodded, there were some things that he needed to say to his brother alone.
After Arya left, Harvey sighed, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all in one gulp, laughing at himself:
"I wanted to show myself today, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and make a joke."
He handed over the bottle and was about to pour Roy a glass too, but Roy stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "We won't say so many polite words."
"Pan Na's words are indeed heavier, and it is definitely not right to hit someone, but Harvey, what do you think in your heart?
"You really think it's good to just keep going like this...... After three years at the Inheritor Academy, will you go back to your hometown to inherit the family business? ”
Harvey got up and walked to the windowsill, overlooking the night view of Sidney, and said abruptly: "Roy, even if you become an inheritor, everyone's talents and limits are different.
"Soon after I became an inheritor, I quickly realized that my talent was actually average.
"Although I tried hard for a while, I found that my cultivation progress was still slower than Panna's, and I used to be better than her in everything, but now this situation is gradually being reversed, and it is gone forever.
"I don't know when I started to dare to face her. I couldn't accept that I was weaker than my fiancée, but she was chasing me.
"You can see that she is still as childish as before, as long as she is excited, she speaks and acts without going through her brain, and compares me to others. But if I had a talent like Qin Xiang, why did I end up here?
"She longs for a life full of passion, and I used to do the same, but now I can't keep up with her.
"In that case, why don't I just lie down and live a little easier?
"What I said about dissolving the marriage contract is not angry, her cultivation talent is better than mine, on the road of inheritor, she will go further than me, perhaps, the person who should be by her side in the future is not me."
Roy walked up to the window and stood side by side with him: "So, you think it's for her sake to break the engagement?" I didn't expect you to have such a gentle time.
"Although you pretend to be nothing on the surface, I think, your heart must be roaring, your fiancée, your childhood sweetheart is actually going to run away with another man or something, don't do this kind of thing!
"I'm a man too, and I have Arya too, and I understand how you feel. When she became a lawyer, the pressure on my heart was actually not small.
"But I never thought of giving up, because I like her, and she likes me, and since it's a mutual relationship, why don't you try your best to fight for it?
"Arya is a lawyer, and I am still with her. Pan Na is at best a slightly more gifted inheritor, how did it come to your mouth and become an insurmountable ravine?
"Not to mention that you are also an inheritor, throughout Sidnia, there are actually many examples of inheritors and ordinary people getting married."
"At the end of the day, it's an emotional issue. Panna's attitude undoubtedly still likes you, and she reprimanded you before, not because she looked down on your strength, but because you didn't work hard enough.
"Maybe you do want to inherit the family business, but this is for the future, and there is no conflict with your efforts now, is it?
"For most people, their efforts are not enough for them to touch the upper limit of their talents, Xavi, you are the same, don't underestimate yourself.
"So, if you still like her, go for it. Regardless of what the future holds, let's do it first!
"Even if you weren't together in the end, your efforts during this time were genuine. Everyone can betray you, only your efforts cannot, even if it's just a little, you are indeed improving.
"And in the process of this effort, you will definitely harvest more and better treasures."
"Roy......" Harvey tilted his head and looked at him with emotion, "I found you really good at talking."
"Isn't that how you're going to scare Arya?"
Roy: "? ”
"Thank you, though." Harvey laughed, "Maybe I've been making excuses for my laziness."
"If you want to ask me if I'm willing, I'm really unwilling, what man will be counted down by a woman like this and be indifferent? Don't give her a little color!
"Damn, I didn't pay attention when I was a child, but I realized when I saw it recently that this tomboy who had been following my ass before was so beautiful!
"Don't mention feelings, even if it's to get a beauty, I'm going to work hard!
"Although it feels like I have a long way to go, when I think that your Arya has become a lawyer, and you haven't given up chasing her, then why shouldn't I try?
"Brother, let's do it together!"
Speaking of the back, Harvey also felt himself on fire and gave Roy a big hug.
It's good that you're on your feet, but I don't need to chase Arya...... Roy silently retorted in his heart.
Harvey kept saying "no feelings", as if he only got excited about Panna because she was good-looking, and decided to try hard.
But there are also many good-looking women in Sidnia, and with his identity as his inheritor, it is not difficult to find an ordinary woman with similar beauty as his wife in the future.
His tone seemed frivolous, but at the end of the day, he just wanted to hide his uneasiness in front of his friends.
All along, he didn't really let go of his fiancée, he just kept running away, and in the long run, Panna almost became his inner demon.
Now that he felt it was time for him to face her, he wanted to use all his strength to see if he could conquer this unruly girl like a wild horse again.
Regardless of the outcome, as long as you work hard to get it...... When I look back on this time in the future, I may be able to let go of it.
The contradiction between Harvey and Panna is not a big deal to put it bluntly, but the two are in adolescence, have high self-esteem, and act a little impulsively.
If, under the stimulation of tonight, Harvey can take this opportunity to stop being rotten and practice hard, this class reunion will be worth it.
However, although Harvey's attitude began to change, he just didn't know what the situation was on Panna's side.
I hope there won't be any bloody stomach pain......
At this time, Arya returned to the box, shook her head slightly, and said, "They are going to go back first."
"Panna didn't look very good, but she asked me to convey her apologies to Harvey."
It sounded like a good sign, but Harvey's face was bitter when he heard this: "It's bad, she never apologized to me, and this time she was really angry." ”
"After all, I tore my face in front of my good friends, and it's normal to fight a cold war with you for a while, and you have to be prepared for a protracted war."
Roy reminded, "Think about what you're going to do. Your purpose is not to lick the dog to make her happy, but to try to improve yourself, use your practical actions to re-attract her, and let her understand that you are gradually becoming better.
"If not, even if you reconcile now, you will definitely quarrel in the future, and I won't care about you then."
"I understand!" Harvey nodded heavily, "I shouldn't lick the dog, for the sake of the future family status, this time I won't say anything to be rotten!" ”
"That's good." Roy nodded.
As an outsider, he can only enlighten Harvey to this point.
After making up his mind, Harvey seemed to let go of his baggage and became appetizing again.
The three of them eliminated most of the dishes on the table as much as they could, and then went home.
……
The next morning, after having breakfast, Roy was about to leave for the academy when the guard at the gate brought a letter.
"Renault Arnold...... A letter from my father from the World Tree? ”
Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Roy raised his eyebrows slightly.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen Renault for a month, and I don't know if he's doing well in the ruined mine on the second floor of the World Tree?
Previously, in order to curry favor with Arya and persuade her to join the Holy Knights, Leon also wooed their Arnold family, and specially promoted Renault to become the manager of the mine.
It's supposed to be an easy job, right?
Before leaving, Renault had said that he would go back to his house to visit him once a month, and now that a month has passed, although he has not seen anyone, at least a letter has been sent, which can be regarded as a report of safety.
So, Roy opened the envelope and read it carefully.
The general content of this letter is to introduce his recent situation: he has a good job, pays well, and even has his own estate there.
The reason why he couldn't come back from this time was precisely because he had to oversee the manor he was building, which had just been completed until yesterday.
At the end of the letter, Renault invited him to visit the newly built manor house in the ruined mine.
"So, didn't he come to visit us, but did we come to visit him?"
Roy flipped the letter to the end, thoughtful,
"World Tree Second Layer Ruined Mine...... Exactly, this is a good opportunity. ”
