It's been five days since the accident on the final exam.

For ordinary people, these five days are no different from usual, the sun is still the sun, the sky is still the sky, and they can't even perceive the ups and downs in the eyes of some people.

For the people at the time of the incident, the students (parents) of Laiyin College, this incident was obviously not so easy to pass.

They put up banners in the academy, demanding an explanation from the academy management and taking the initiative to carry out a major change, along with strengthening the security order - if most of the academy is academic and does not have much combat ability, they can help.

The cabinet at the other end was much more lively than usual, and the whole palace was anxious because of this.

Charlotte walked down the rarely quiet hallway of the college, reflecting in her mind the flow of people that it was once supposed to have.

After a long time, Yu Yu sighed.

"Then again....... It's been a long time since you've been to the academy. ”

She looked up.

Now, on the long streets and alleys of the college, there is basically no student walking on it.

In fact, there are not many students in the academy now.

Most of the aristocratic students were taken back by their families, while the commoner students were mostly placed in dormitories and would not be let out until the matter was over.

She is the only one who can stroll outside the academy.

The people in the palace didn't have the time to take care of her, and the managers of the academy didn't want to get involved, so they let her move freely and go wherever she wanted.

In fact, Charlotte didn't know why she still came to the academy, after all, she didn't need to attend classes for the time being.

Maybe the palace was too noisy, maybe she couldn't get used to the involuntary peace after getting used to the hustle and bustle, or maybe she wanted to say hello to someone who was a little younger than her.

In short, she came every day these days, but there was never a real purpose.

As she walked, Charlotte suddenly raised her eyes.

She finally saw people.

A richly dressed middle-aged man took a young girl's hand and walked out of a building not far from her with a blank face.

"There's ......."

Charlotte thought back to the college map in her mind.

"Administrative building?"

"Yes, Your Highness, you have a good memory."

The sudden sound startled Charlotte.

She subconsciously took a few steps forward and turned her head suddenly.

"Huh....... Miss Karan? ”

"Good morning, Your Highness." Erin bowed gracefully to her.

"Good morning."

Charlotte said hello nervously, and then looked at Erin cautiously.

Today, Erin is still dressed extraordinarily, with a long trench coat and age-appropriate high heels that show off her tall figure to the fullest, and although the arc is slightly green, it is still enough to be called a thrilling temptation.

Her gray hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she looked very smart with her clothes, and there was no powder between her eyebrows and eyes, but no one could find a flaw in it.

Miss Calan is still beautiful today, but what makes Charlotte more concerned is that the stack of papers she holds in her hand seems to be some kind of information or document.

"Is this it?" Erin raised the paper in her hand, "This is my student registration information, just turned out in the student registration warehouse." ”

"Student status...... Information? ”

Charlotte wasn't unworldly, she knew what it was.

It's just, is there any need to take out this kind of thing?

"Of course." Erin smiled and said, "For example, if you drop out of school, you need to take out your own information and cancel it." ”

"Drop out?!" Charlotte was slightly stunned and exclaimed, "Are you going to drop out?" ”

"Yes." Erin affirmed her thoughts, "For us, if it weren't for the social maintenance, there was no need to go to the academy to study, and the resources we had in the family would be a good way to nurture our growth. ”

"And now that the most important social partner for me has left, there is no need for me to stay here."

"O'O."

Charlotte listened to Erin's explanation half-ignorantly, and suddenly realized something.

She said her most important social partner had left.

And who is Erin's most important social partner?

Charlotte doesn't know much about relationships, but she can guess what the answer is.

"Huh?!" She said in disbelief, "He's gone?!"

”

"yes." Erin chuckled and said, "Two days ago, he dropped out of school first....... I also found out today, otherwise, I would have completed the formalities two days ago. ”

“.......”

Charlotte looked at the information in her hand in a daze, and didn't listen to a word of her words.

"Gone......."

That's it, without saying a word, leaving?

Charlotte's emotions are a little complicated right now, and she doesn't even know whether she should be sad or not.

"You seem to be a little frustrated." Erin looked at her little head slowly drooping and looked surprised, "Why?" ”

"Why?" Charlotte was stunned, feeling a little lost by Erin's words.

Friends leave ....... At the very least, shouldn't you feel sad that your friend has left you?

"No, I think you should be happy." Erin raised her eyebrows and said seriously, "His willingness to leave proves that he has made his own decision to accept something that can lead to a higher place." ”

"If your frustration comes from not saying goodbye, I don't think it's even more necessary."

"He didn't abandon his city, he just left for a while to better own it."

Charlotte listened to her tirade in a daze, and only after a long time did she slowly speak: "You are really....... What about a good person. ”

"Is it excellent?" Erin said casually, "Maybe." ”

"That ......." Charlotte, who was absent-minded, had no interest in staying here anymore and was ready to say goodbye, "Thank you for your doubts, I still have some things ......."

"Your Highness."

Erin interrupted her with a loud voice, "If you can, please talk to me for a few more minutes." ”

"Huh?" Charlotte looked up slightly, not knowing why, "Communication, what?" ”

Erin said calmly: "Some questions, it will affect how I treat you in the future. ”

Hearing the seriousness contained in the other party's words, Charlotte subconsciously tightened her clothes: "What, what's the problem?" ”

"Until then, I would like to know what kind of identity your attitude towards him is." Erin squinted slightly, and a meaningful light flashed in her eyes, "Is it an unrelated stranger, or a classmate with whom you have a little friendship, or a friend who has a close relationship, or even a ........ Hope to become, lovers. ”

"Love, lovers?!"

Charlotte staggered back a few steps at the shocking words, her cheeks flushed like candy apples in a shop window.

"This, this ......."

Can this be said?!

A man who is a fiancée confronts another woman and asks her if she is trying to be her fiancé's lover?!

This, this, this.......

Charlotte's brain was somewhat overloaded, and her speech function was almost lost.

"Don't be so surprised." Erin's face was still calm, "Marriage is not a particularly good choice for me, and the best thing it can do is just to limit my development - especially if the other person is better than me. ”

"It will take me to a peak, but it will also be a ceiling that limits me, and if I can, I still want to carry forward the family under my own surname - when the time comes, when everyone calls me, it will not be based on the premise of Mrs. so-and-so."

She whispered.

"I prefer my own name."

Charlotte paused for a long time before she understood what she meant: "You mean, you don't want to be ....... with him Is that what it means to have too close a relationship? ”

"Wrong." "I don't quite understand why you would think of that, but that kind of potential is something that any woman should strive for, and a more intimate relationship represents a rise in the level of collaboration, so why wouldn't I want that to happen?" ”

"Then you just said ......."

"I guess I understand." Erin smiled easily, "You're really ....... Simple. ”

"Has anyone told you? Say that intimate relationships must be built on marriage? ”

“！”

Charlotte was shocked.

She had never thought about that.

Loyalty is a virtue that can be celebrated in any book, and she has always enshrined it as one of her duties that must be fulfilled in the future.

Erin's words, which can almost be called rebellious, instantly turned her worldview upside down.

"So." Erin took advantage of the chaos in the little princess's mind to continue to pursue the victory, "What is your answer?" ”

"Stranger, Friend, or ......."

“.......”

Charlotte took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Looks like you need to think about it for a while......."

"Nope." Charlotte interrupted her, but still didn't open her eyes, "I always knew what I was thinking......."

Her eyes slowly opened, and her ocean-blue eyes were filled with light in that moment.

"Yes, I like him." She said seriously, "I like it very much." ”

Erin smiled, smiling brightly: "Then ........"

"But that doesn't mean that I'm following your word and accepting your next arrangement - who I am and who should be told by that 'who' to tell me, not ....... You. ”

Erin was stunned and looked at the girl in surprise.

At this moment, the other party's beautiful eyes were no longer cowardly and withdrawn, but a somewhat familiar cold majesty.

"Tsk." Erin smacked her lips, "Looks like you've learned a lot from his side." ”

"I'm just a clumsy model, not a mastered learner."

Charlotte said calmly, "Although I don't know why you are persecuting me with words, I love the life I have now, and if I can go further, I can, but I don't have to. ”

"I've never been willing to fight for anything, and if you want me to redouble my efforts to be a 'useful' person, allow me to refuse."

"My value will not be used for you."

“.......”

Once again, there was a flash of disbelief in Erin's eyes.

She vaguely remembered the scene in the café, and the girl was so embarrassed when she faced her.

But how long has passed, and she can actually have the courage to refuse and refute her.

Even if it was just a simulation of someone's behavior, it was enough to shock her.

"Okay."

Erin shook her head helplessly.

What she originally hoped was that at the cost of giving up her position, she would become the little princess's "teacher" in exchange, teach her how to please the guy, and then indirectly influence her behavior, so that she could successfully occupy a place in the palace - so that she, as a guide, could also indirectly grasp some advantageous resources.

But now, it seems that there is no play.

"You've surprised me."

She thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask why you rejected me so firmly?" I didn't even have time to say anything else. ”

Charlotte opened her mouth and didn't speak.

It's not that she doesn't know what to say, but she just thinks that what she says directly may be a little disrespectful.

She believes that Erin is a bad woman without a doubt.

Even the marriage that women value most can be discarded at will and used in exchange for their own vested interests, which Charlotte could not accept.

And, the most important point is that she can even give up on this, so if she really gains momentum after that, who knows if she will stab him in the back?

She didn't want that to happen, especially because of herself.

Shaking her head, Charlotte said, "No comment. ”

"I see." Erin bowed slightly, "Please forgive me for my offense." ”

"If you don't have anything else to order, then I'll take my leave."

She looked at the silver lady's watch on her wrist: "Those guys are itching to break the hands to get to the end of the day right now." ”

"Goodbye." Charlotte said goodbye.

"Goodbye." Erin responded with a smile.

The two passed by.

Charlotte was about to take a step when she heard Erin's fluttering words come from her ears.

"You rejected me, but out of kindness, I have to warn you."

"You just said that your value is not for me, but do you really have value for me?"

"No one likes rubbish."

"No one will."

The whisper was quickly crushed with the footsteps of the girl's boots, and Charlotte was nailed to the spot as if the nail-like words were in place.

She clenched her fists.

But soon, she let go of her hand again.

Although Irene's words were a bit harsh, they were indeed indisputable facts.

Anyone or anything exists because it necessarily has value, and useless things can only be thrown into the recycling bin.

If she really wanted something, she had to do it.

"So, what do I want?"

She looked at the blue canopy and muttered to herself.

What Erin said was too far away, as far away as the untouchable sun in the sky, she didn't even dare to look at it, let alone reach out and touch it.

So, what is it that she can reach?

Refine a bit.

Of all the things she has, what is it that deserves to be praised and carried forward?

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes.

"The sun will always set, and you will come back sooner or later."

"The sun knows where it's going to go, do you know that?"

She whispered to herself.

"I want you to know."

"If I could, I thought."

"I know that too."
