Chapter 177: Coming Against the Light (Four Changes)
Chen Ling looked at the girl in her arms in a daze, her eyes were full of sincere feelings, even if Chen Ling was relatively dull to men and women now, it could be seen that the feelings in this girl's eyes were far more than just feelings between friends, but a feeling of admiration.
Her feelings for him have not changed since the beginning to the present, but she has learned to hide her feelings.
Perhaps this is the biggest change since she left the Mo family.
Chen Ling was in a complicated mood, and finally pushed her away.
"Jiaojiao, it seems that you still haven't changed. Chen Ling sighed and said bluntly: "I have already told you that there is another person in my heart, and no one can replace this person." ”
"Then let me be your true friend, isn't that okay?" Mo Chunjiao looked at him. I thought that the distance between her and him was very close, but now that the two of them are close at hand, she feels that the distance between her and him is still so far away.
"You can't do it, and I can't do it. With that, Chen Ling got up and returned to his bedroom, closed the door and ignored her.
Mo Chunjiao stood on the balcony alone, and her tears couldn't help falling.
At this time, the night looked so bleak and beautiful, she didn't know if her impulse today was right, and she didn't know if she could still establish a relationship with him, now she only felt that they were far away.
Perhaps, more distant than before.
She moved the two chairs back, wiped away her tears, and lay silently in the hall, sleepless all night.
The next morning, when Chen Ling got up, Mo Chunjiao had already gotten up. The quilts and pillows on the floor were neatly packed, and the sound of walking back and forth downstairs was heard.
Chen Ling went downstairs to see that Mo Chunjiao had already bought breakfast and was putting it on the plate.
"Chen Ling, you're up. Hurry up and come down to eat. Mo Chunjiao smiled at him as if nothing happened.
Her smile made Chen Ling feel very uncomfortable, and he was about to say something, Mo Chunjiao hurriedly said: "You don't have the right to treat me as a friend, but you have no right to stop me from treating you as a friend, you should have nothing to teach me a lesson if you are kind to a friend, right?"
Chen Ling was stunned on the stairs, and in the end he only smiled bitterly.
"Jiaojiao, I don't want to hurt your feelings. ”
"Since you've already said it, I'm a true martial artist now. Then I have the ability to withstand any injury now, whether it is a martial artist or an ordinary person, I will not grow without being injured. Isn't it? Mo Chunjiao grinned and went over to pull him down.
"I'm not talking about the injury. ”
"I understand. Mo Chunjiao didn't want to say more, so she sat down and ate, talking non-stop. "You seem to have five days off, right? The head of the pavilion should be discussing some important matters with you these days. Eat more, and only when you are full will you have the strength to discuss. ”
Chen Ling looked at her and was speechless for a while.
I already knew that this girl was willful, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and I had already told her so clearly that she still wanted to be like this.
"You eat, I'll go out for a walk. Chen Ling ruthlessly rejected her kindness, went upstairs to get a sword and went out.
The smile on Mo Chunjiao's face turned lonely, and she didn't call him. One barely finished breakfast.
She was right, and the distance between them was even greater than before.
......
During the five days of rest, Chen Ling never returned to his residence. Bai Qingquan thought at first that he was just going out for a walk and would come back soon, but he didn't see anyone for five consecutive days, and he didn't see him on the sixth day, so he was going crazy.
The second match is about to start, and if he can't participate in the draw in time, he will abstain, then Izumo Martial Arts will only have two people left, Dongfang Hakuryu and Wu Han, which is a very unfavorable situation.
The central martial arts hall, everyone has arrived.
"Lao Bai, why did you bring two people over?" Yao Shikun counted the number of people in the Izumo Martial Arts Pavilion and looked at Bai Qingquan in confusion.
"Chen Ling will be there in a moment. In order to delay a little longer, Bai Qingquan said: "Are the draw boxes ready? The second game is very important, I think it is necessary for us to check the draw box again to prove to everyone that our draw is not a black box operation." ”
"Lao Bai, what do you mean by this?" Yao Shikun was unhappy for a moment, "The lottery box was prepared by our Martial Arts Temple, is it possible that you suspect that we are secretly adjusting the team?"
"Of course I believe you, but we have to let the others understand that all this is really fair, otherwise one of the strongest will meet the weakest, and it will not be good to be suspected of being deliberately arranged, what do you say?" Bai Qingquan said calmly.
Shi Haotian on the side could see that Bai Qingquan was delaying time, he glanced back at Gao Jianhu, hesitated slightly, and stepped forward to say a word.
"What Lao Bai said also makes sense, in order to let the world understand that there is no black-box operation in the Three Lions Society, it is not a big deal to check it. ”
Both of them said so, and Yao Shikun could only agree even if he was very unhappy.
Checking this thing is very simple, just open the lottery box to check if there is a hidden compartment inside and check the ten notes inside at the same time, and it takes less than two minutes.
Apart from this, Bai Qingquan had no other reason to delay time.
"Now that we've checked it, let's start drawing lots. Yao Shikun has already realized the reason why Bai Qingquan did this, that Chen Ling is afraid that something has happened and he can't come, and it is not at all that he will come after a while.
This made him deliberately speed up the pace.
As long as the draw is over and Chen Ling does not appear, his qualification for the competition will be cancelled, which is definitely good news for the Martial Arts Temple.
Three groups of lots are drawn at the same time, and two people with the same number are divided into groups.
Soon the two people from the Izumo Martial Arts Hall had already completed the lottery, and the Falcon Martial Arts Hall immediately got all the notes, and then it was the turn of the fourth person in the Martial Arts Temple to draw lots.
"Lao Bai, no matter what reason Chen Ling didn't arrive, if he missed the draw, he would be directly disqualified, you should be very clear about this, you don't need me to remind you. Yao Shikun reminded with three points proudly.
Bai Qingquan's face was not calm at the moment.
In the past few days, he has sent people everywhere to look for him, he seems to have disappeared from the world and has no news, and he thought that he would come back to play with the overall situation in mind, but now he is afraid that Chen Ling will not want to compete and leave.
Mo Chunjiao, who came with the team, was also very anxious at the moment, and at the same time very guilty, she knew that she would not be so impulsive, if she caused the Izumo Martial Arts Hall to lose the Three Lions competition, she would blame herself forever.
The last person in the Martial Arts Temple had already put his hand into the lottery box, as long as Chen Ling hadn't shown up after he had finished drawing the lot, his game would be over.
At this tense moment, the door of the martial arts hall was pushed open, and in the backlight, a young man walked in with a sword on his back...... (To be continued......)
