Lu Shanmin didn't quite understand why he couldn't go back while she could. He came to Donghai with the intention of seeing the beauty of the city she described, but what he saw and heard was not as beautiful as he imagined.

After waking up from the excitement of meeting again, Lu Shanmin felt extremely bitter. Although the two had the same origin, from the moment Bai Ling was admitted to college, they were destined to become people in two parallel worlds. Whether he thought so or not, at least

Bai Ling thinks so.

Sighing, Lu Shanmin smiled lightly and said, "Bai Ling, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Bai Ling laughed happily, just like the azaleas that filled the mountains of Mazui Village at this time, "Thank you, Brother Shanmin, I know you will support me no matter what I do."

Lu Shanmin's face gradually became serious: "Don't have any contact with that person named Mou Yicheng in the future. He is not a good person."

Bai Ling's happy smile suddenly solidified, and his face was replaced by a complicated and indistinguishable expression, "Brother Mountain Man, this is the East China Sea, not the mountains. Not all people and things must be classified as good or bad. It cannot be distinguished."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "He doesn't really like you."

Bai Ling smiled bitterly and said, "I know."

Lu Shanmin opened his mouth in surprise, "Then did you know that he was merciful and even caused several girls to have abortions?"

Bai Ling lowered his head and could not clearly see her eyes.

Lu Shanmin's heart felt like it was hit hard by a giant hammer, and he asked with a trembling voice, "You know that, right?"

Bai Ling lowered his head even lower, bit his lip, and hummed softly.

"Why"?

Lu Shanmin's heart was filled with a hundred thousand whys. He thought Bai Ling was deceived by Mou Yicheng's sweet words, but he never thought that Bai Ling already knew this.

Why do you still put yourself to the test even though you know he is a scumbag?

Bai Ling raised his head, the expression on his face changed, "Brother Shanmin, do you know how many girls at Tunghai University dream of being his girlfriend?"

Lu Shanmin's face turned pale, "So what?"

"Brother Shanmin, don't worry. I'm not stupid. I know that the easier it is to get it, the less men will cherish it."

"So you set up a ridiculous test and asked him to win a championship."

Bai Ling smiled bitterly and said, "It can be regarded as setting up the last line of defense for yourself."

Lu Shanmin was a little angry, "Is this considered a line of defense? You clearly know that he is a professional player and it is easy to win such a championship. You are deceiving yourself."

Bai Ling looked helpless, "Brother Shanmin, every girl dreams of a hero with colorful clouds coming to express love to her, and I am the same."

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly, it turned out that he was no longer the hero in her mind.

In Arena No. 1, the seventh game of the first round began. Mou Dongyun couldn't sit still at all and roared angrily at the members of the Sanda Association.

"Why the hell are you just sitting there? Hurry up and find someone for me."

Seven or eight students from the Financial College Sanda Association were also very anxious at this moment, and they quickly got up and went to look for Lu Shanmin separately.

The bettor from the University of Electronic Science and Technology next to him walked up to Mou Dongyuan with a smile.

"Haha, teacher, did that player in your school escape from the battle because he couldn't afford to lose?"

Mou Dongyun's face was full of anger, and he ripped off his shirt with a loud sound, revealing his stone-like muscles.

"If you keep fucking beeping, believe it or not, I will beat you up right now."

The boy took one look at Mou Dongyun's explosive muscles, curled his lips, and left muttering.

Mou Dongyun sat in the stands angrily and greeted all the eighteen generations of Lushan people's ancestors.

Looking at the ring in a daze, as if watching his own students on the ring, Mou Dongyun prayed secretly, hoping that this group of players could play a few more rounds, otherwise, Lu Shanmin could only consider it as an automatic abstention.

I finally found a savior, taught boxing in the middle of the night, and spent the past few months in fear. When the end was about to come, Lu Shanmin, that bastard, actually ran away with a woman.

Fortunately, both sides were of a certain level in this match. After two rounds, there was no tie. From the looks of it, it should be possible to complete five rounds.

Mou Dongyun looked around restlessly, cursing incessantly.

Bai Ling's face was full of guilt, "Brother Shanmin, I'm sorry."

Lu Shanmin had a sense of powerlessness that he had no power to exert, "You are not sorry for me, you are sorry for yourself."

"Brother Mountain Man, I know you are good to me. Including my parents, you are the best person in the world to me. My parents didn't let me go to school. If you hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt for me to go to school, I wouldn't have

There will be today.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Bai Ling's eyes, "If I hadn't been admitted to college, we might have been able to live happily in the mountains for the rest of our lives, just like other villagers in the mountains."

"Brother Shanmin, I know that the day I said to you, 'A summer insect cannot talk to the ice, and a frog in a well cannot talk to the sea,' is too much, but the reality is like this. We are no longer in the same world. Who told me

After seeing the prosperity of this world, I don’t want to go back to the mountains.”

Lu Shanmin laughed bitterly, until tears filled his eyes.

Bai Ling's voice was choked, and his face was full of guilt and pain, "Brother Shanmin, love cannot be eaten as food. The reality is really cruel."

Lu Shanmin's heart ached, and he said with a trembling voice: "Yes, it is so cruel that the oaths made between us are like a floating cloud, which can be blown away by a gust of wind."

Bai Ling's voice sobbed, and he held Lu Shanmin's hand with both hands, "Brother Shanmin, you know the situation in my family best. My dad has no income at all in these years. Although the village committee pays my tuition fees, the cost of living in Donghai is less than

Tuition is more expensive.”

"Look at my hands, they are covered with calluses. I worked three jobs during the work-study program at school. When other students were still sleeping, I was already cleaning the school playground. When other students went out shopping on weekends,

"At that time, I was still cleaning the classroom at school. While other students were eating snacks and watching movies in the dormitory, I was still taking out the trash in the school public toilet."

Bai Ling sobbed softly, "I'm a girl, and I also love beauty. All my classmates in the dormitory are dressed fashionably and beautifully, and I'm still wearing my high school clothes. They often have thousands or tens of thousands of expensive bags, but I only have

Even if I can go to a street stall and choose street food for more than ten yuan, I still have to hesitate again and again.”

"Wow, they didn't say anything openly, but I knew they were all talking about me and laughing at me behind my back."

Lu Shanmin stroked Bai Ling's long hair with pity, "You have suffered, don't care what they say, just remember that you are the pride of Mazui Village, and the whole village is supporting you behind you."

"No, Brother Shanmin, I can't do it. I'm really tired. I've had enough of this kind of life. I don't want to live in poverty anymore. I hate the countryside. I hate people calling me a village girl behind my back.

I want dignity and I want to live decently in this city."

Lu Shanmin's hands shook. He understood Bai Ling's grievance, but he couldn't understand that she would hate the place where she was born and raised, just for the so-called dignity.

For more than half a year after arriving in Donghai, Bai Ling has been suppressing his emotions and enduring everything silently. No matter how miserable his life is, he still has to be confident and generous in front of his classmates. Now facing Lu Shanmin, he no longer needs to hold on, he has been suppressed for a long time.

Emotions poured out like a flood.

Bai Ling cried loudly and threw herself into Lu Shanmin's arms, "Brother Shanmin, you have been my hero since childhood. Why? Why can't you be my hero now? How I wish you could always be my hero

The hero who protects me all my life, why are you no longer the hero, why?"

"Brother Shanmin, I'm sorry for you." Bai Ling threw herself into Lu Shanmin's arms and cried loudly.

Lu Shanmin's eyes dropped a tear, "I'm just a mountain villager, I've never been a hero."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Shanmin hugged Bai Ling in his arms, "You are a college student. You have read more books than me and seen more of the world. Naturally, you should have more principles than me. But I always feel that this is not the case. Grandpa

When he was alive, he said, 'Dignity is always earned by oneself and has little to do with others.' I think my grandfather was right."

Lu Shanmin slowly pushed Bai Ling away, looking at the tears on her face, "Grandpa said, 'Everything changes, but the heart of an innocent child never changes.' Bai Ling, you have changed. The prosperity of the East China Sea has lost your true heart."

”.

Bai Ling couldn't help sobbing, "No, I haven't changed. I've always been like this. You don't understand. You couldn't see the outside world in the mountains before, but it doesn't mean that the outside world doesn't exist. On the contrary, here

This is the real world, an extremely real but extremely cruel world."

A voice resounded across the campus, "Please Lu Shanmin, a senior college student in finance, take your place on stage No. 1. Please take a seat on stage No. 1, Lu Shanmin, a senior college student in finance."

Lu Shanmin slowly raised his hand to wipe her tears and turned around.

Bai Ling grabbed Lu Shanmin's hand. She knew that if she let go, she would completely lose the man who had protected him for more than ten years. She cried bitterly, "Brother Shanmin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"!!!

Lu Shanmin turned around, with tears in his eyes as well, "You're not sorry for me, it's because I can't give you what you want."

"Mountain Brother",,,,,

Lu Shanmin smiled, and suddenly he felt a sense of relief in his heart. The shackles that trapped his heart were slowly broken. All delusions and fantasies were shattered in front of reality. Nothing can go back. It really can't go back.

went.

Seeing the relieved smile on Lu Shanmin's face, Bai Ling was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. She knew that this time she would really lose the person who was the best to her in the world.

Lu Shanmin removed Bai Ling's hand and said, "Let Brother Shanmin fight for you one last time. No matter whether you win or not, whether it makes sense or not, from now on, we will not owe each other anything."

Lu Shanmin turned around and walked towards the stadium without looking back.
