If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Lin Nian should have known a long time ago. Even if they didn't get along for a long time, had they spent more than a week in the same space since they met?

Perhaps for some things, a week is too short, so short that it flies by and is over before it even begins. But for other things, a week is too long. It only takes a moment for some things to grow, and everything else is carefully cultivated and nourished.

Things are always so unexpected, aren't they? It was so sudden that Lin Nian thought that the world was like a love novel with him as the protagonist, always being involved in all kinds of strange emotions.

He remembered that he and the girl in witch uniforms visited Xingshen Temple that summer. When they were leaving on their return trip, he looked back and saw the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the seven-story tower. They were chiming in the wind, rising and falling. At that time, he I thought that when the wind stopped, the wind chimes would stop, but I never thought that until I stepped in front of the tower again after so many days, the chiming sound was still sweet, ringing a person's name.

Just like what friends or close family members have said about him in the past, he is actually not slow in many things, but he is always unwilling to believe it. It seems that if he does not admit or face it, those things will not exist—— But he also knows that what exists will still exist. But if you don't face it, then at least those things that exist will not happen.

But often, those things with his back turned would always come around to make a sound in front of him.

So what was the cause of the incident and when did that moment happen?

Going back to the past, it was the drama of the princess and the prince for a whole day at Disneyland, or the neon lights in the alleys of Shinsaibashi at night, the bright sunshine and the blue coastline of Kamakura, and the wind while riding a bicycle on the uphill and downhill roads. Roaming can also be taken into consideration - in short, it won't be the intrigue that first appeared in the PS game in Genji Heavy Industries, and then the drama will be reversed in the end, where the beauty saves the hero, right?

If Su Xiaoqiang fell in love with Lin Nian because of a sudden glimpse at the beginning of school, then this girl will always find that moment in Lin Nian.

This is probably a fate that Lin Nian himself cannot escape, and it is also a fate that many people with unique personal charm cannot escape. If they are impeccable in appearance and have the ability to guide and influence the direction of others, they will be able to guide and influence the direction of others for a long time. Accompanying a person of the opposite sex as a non-kinship person, over time, they can always show a moment, thus capturing the people around them who inadvertently capture this moment.

The relationship between young men and women is simply like sunshine and water bottles. At the right angle and at the right time, when the two meet and meet the conditions of that moment, the emergence of sparks is a simple matter of time. If they are not extinguished, there will definitely be a raging fire.

"So this is not a joke. You must have noticed it, right? Or maybe you don't want to accept it, so you turn a deaf ear. In any case, the facts are already on your face."

Caesar whispered to Lin Nian, who turned back to look at the girl with long dark red hair,

"This is an opportunity, and it is also a bargaining chip for us to get real weight in the negotiations with the Sheqi Eight Families. I know you will not like what I say next, and I am also disgusted with the views I am about to express, but now as this As the team leader of this sub-mission, even if it goes against my creed, I need to consider using it within the appropriate scope.”

"I know what you want to say, Caesar, this is inevitable." Lin Nian turned around and said, "She is sitting here now, which means that there is no room for recovery, regardless of personal will. , or it’s someone else’s ulterior motives, things have already happened, but I still want to make it clear that no matter how tight things are, we have a bottom line after all, but to you, she is the head of the Uesugi family. We’ve known each other for a long time, and even though we don’t see each other often, we are still very good friends.”

Caesar paused and nodded slightly, finally understanding the importance of this red-haired girl to Lin Nian. The so-called "appropriate range" he mentioned would be dynamically weighed based on Lin Nian's statement.

"I just don't understand." Lin Nian whispered, his eyes a little complicated and confused, reflected in the glass behind Caesar in front of him, not wanting the girl waiting quietly behind him to see.

"I don't understand why things still happened despite taking the initiative to keep a distance and taking time to dilute it?" Caesar looked at the man in front of him and said exactly what he was thinking word for word. He was silent for a moment, and then lightly He chuckled lightly, "This kind of thing is actually quite common."

Lin Nian raised his head, met those sea-blue eyes, and understood that this man was not making sarcastic remarks, but that the other man really understood Lin Nian's complicated mood. It was an emotion that felt troublesome, but also troublesome at the same time. The dilemma of being too disrespectful to show off.

Lin Nian is not an exception, he is not even special in this issue! Caesar Gattuso standing in front of him was the earlier person who had this kind of confusion. There are far more romance novels with Caesar Gattuso as the protagonist on the bookshelf. Gattuso is always too perfect. The shortcoming of the men in the family is that they always touch the girl's heartstrings inadvertently, and they don't even know where that moment comes from.

So it often happens that the girl comes to him in full bloom and talks about her love, saying that during the last school trip, you walked with me on the bright spring streets of France under the Eiffel Tower. This is a wonderful tacit understanding. I think you should also feel that kind of emotion, so you didn't say a word until you reached the end of the street, right?

But what a pity, Caesar standing in front of the girl didn't even remember him, but he remembered that he had indeed been to France once. According to the girl, if he kept silent, there was a high probability that the young master of the Gattuso family was not here. Enjoy the tacit understanding, but hold your breath and endure the garbage that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Paris, and even the stench of human or animal excrement that appears in the alleys.

Many good girls met Caesar and fell in love at first sight. They didn't even have time to chat, they appeared one after another in an instant, and Caesar himself was the most dazzling ray of sun in the Bay of Genoa (Caesar was born in the Bay of Genoa) ), so wherever he goes there is blazing fire. This is probably the noble master's self-cultivation, and it is also the reason why he is far more experienced than Lin Nian.

"As someone who has been through this, do you need me to give you some advice?" As the team leader, Caesar looked at his team members and didn't mind giving him some small life lessons.

"No need, I will take care of it." Lin Nian shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't understand, it's been so long, why she hasn't done it yet."

"Have you forgotten you? Or forgotten that moment?" Caesar looked at Lin Nian.

Lin Young nodded lightly. He really thought that as long as he stayed away and then quit, things would turn over. He also thought that the girl would forget.

"Yes, they will all be forgotten." Caesar nodded lightly and smiled, "Generally, you forget your shortcomings first, and then only the advantages are left, so you always miss the advantages. If you never see them again, then you are lucky. At most, that moment will be a glimmer of light on her left ring finger when she is sitting in a wheelchair and relaxing by the fire. But if we meet again, things will always become troublesome."

Lin Nian remained silent.

Caesar patted him on the shoulder and said, "Handle this matter well. I have seen many girls. They captured that moment in you, but often they just ended up in vain. You may not take the first step until you see each other for the last time." One step. But if you encounter it too often, you will always encounter this situation. "

Caesar didn't say the second half of the sentence, maybe because he was too sensational and literary. The mixed-race kind of thing has too good blood. Walking among women is like a hunter with a gun exploring the forest, and often, walking The longer the distance, the more prey you see, and there will always be someone like the girl in front of Lin Nian, actively facing the gun, like a white bird determined not to dodge anymore.

Lin Nian returned and sat down in front of Eri Yi. He thought for a long time and had something to say, but felt that now was not the time. He looked up at Eri Yi many times, and those dark red eyes would face him, looking at him quietly, waiting for what he had to say, and listening carefully.

So Lin Nian always swallowed the words in his mouth again under the gaze of those eyes.

It's quite interesting. When I first met the girl Eriki Uesugi in the past, he learned about her situation in Sheqihachi's family. He was full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Minamoto Chisao, Eriki's nominal brother. Hostility, thinking that the other party has restrained the girl, will The girl is like a canary imprisoned in an iron cage - even if he knows what kind of power Eri's body really hides, he is still paranoid. He stubbornly believes that what should be liberated must be liberated. Yes, you can't kill your nature just because of danger.

Maybe this idea at that time was due to seeing him. He had encountered too few things. His immaturity, youth and frivolity, and doing whatever he wanted might be the true portrayal of the guy named Lin Nian at that time, so he could do it with a smile. Eri Uesugi runs around to enjoy the good things of freedom.

But it was only now that he slowly understood Yuan Zhisheng, his helplessness and choices. The room hidden in the corner of Genji Heavy Industries may be Genji's last effort, right? Of course he is striving for it. He has been striving for more things in Eryi's life. This is also the limit of what he can strive for.

The reason why Yuan Zhisheng didn't have much affection for Lin Nian as always was precisely because of this cognitive conflict - Lin Nian once did whatever he wanted and wanted to give the girl Eri Uesugi the maximum freedom. , is irresponsible freedom, but also unsafe freedom.

At that time, Lin Nian had not yet understood the true nature of the power within Eriyi, as well as the instability of the so-called real high-risk hybrids. The short-term freedom he fought for for Eriyi was indeed what the other party longed for, but it was not the real On the contrary, freedom will become the poison that will be remembered after overindulgence, so Yuan Zhisheng has always had a faint sense of hostility towards Lin Nian.

What young people do is always stupid, but we cannot deny their romance completely, because romance itself is a rebellious feeling obtained by resisting the system through stupidity. Older people often lose their romance gradually, probably because the things they have experienced and the people they have seen have smoothed their rebellious spirit and educated their stupidity. They will care about gains and losses and think about the rationality and fairness of things. You can't say that this is wrong. On the contrary, it is right. Romance has never been a necessity in life, right? They are not unromantic. They just grow up to be adults. From people who spend far more than the price of a doll to catch a doll, they become people who can calculate whether the price of 999 roses exceeds the family's monthly budget. They are all good people, just expressing that goodness in different ways.

So Yuan Zhisheng doesn't hate Lin Nian, but he always thinks that Lin Nian is a child who has not grown up. The so-called hostility is like an adult male watching a relative's child with snot bubbles entering his room, strictly preventing him from breaking his expensive figurines, or plucking the hair of his own ragdoll cat, feeding him some strange things, etc.

Lin Nian now actually empathizes with Genji Chisheng, so much so that when he saw Eri appear here, his first reaction was how to send her back to Genji Heavy Industries. Even if he had more considerations, he would not send her home without Eri getting angry, to ensure her safety and prevent her from being used by others.

Judgment is not a power that can be controlled at will, especially when it is hidden in the body of a girl whose bloodline is easily out of control. Lin Nian was actually not qualified to protect Eri at the time. If an accident happened, the judgment at that time would be enough to easily kill him - the power hidden by Lin Xian at that time could not be counted in the calculation, because Lin Nian did not consider it in this matter at that time.

Questioning Genji Chisheng, now vaguely becoming Genji Chisheng.

Time is really an interesting thing, which can make him have such a big change of mind - there was a moment when he thought so with inner emotion or humor.

Perhaps guessing the reason for Lin Nian's silence and hesitation before, the girl sitting on the sofa lowered her eyes slightly. She was about to get a pen and paper to write something on the note, but halfway through, the pen was suddenly taken away by a hand, and the note was torn off and crumpled and thrown away by the other party.

Eri looked up at the boy in front of her and met his pair of quiet and melting eyes. The other party told her, "Although it was a bit rash, it was not easy to escape and play, and successfully found me - then follow me, but only tonight, remember to go back before tomorrow morning, otherwise someone will worry about you."

Eri's eyes brightened up, and she nodded. It seemed that there was light shining through her dark red pupils, illuminating a certain moment.

Caesar saw this scene and shrugged his shoulders in disbelief, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth.

It is true that after so much time, Lin Nian is no longer the boy he used to be. Now he has more considerations for many things in the world and less youthful frivolity, but in contrast, he has also gained many things he never had before. Growth does not mean all bad things. Even if you will no longer use things that exceed the cost to create romance, you will also gain more power to bring her better things.

Trial is indeed troublesome and a headache, but it is not unsolvable. Now Lin Nian has the confidence to take good care of Uesugi Eri. This is his promise and the reward for the things he sacrificed for growth.

ps: By the way, when Lin Nian and Caesar were exchanging life advice, Lu Mingfei on the side rolled his eyes, while Chu Zihang silently recalled his experience in Shilan High School with empathy, and nodded to agree with his mortal enemy from time to time with an amplitude that he did not even notice.
