"Linge has really changed a lot." In the stone house, Saint Xalia turned to Xino and said.
"Oh?" Xino cast an interested look, because she had no understanding of Linge in the past, so naturally she didn't know what kind of change Saint Xia Liya mentioned. In fact, based on her impression of Linge
It seems that she is willing to believe that the young man has had this kind of personality from birth to now and has not changed at all.
Pebbles will certainly become smoother and smoother under the wash of water, but outside of himself, that young man is also wrapped in an indifferent protective shell, like a hermit crab that is wary of the outside world.
"Linge said that he only does what he can, but if it were him before, he might not even be willing to do what he can."
Saint Xalia whispered, the scene when she first met the young man in the municipal square of Linwell City came to mind: the Moriyas' tents were colorful, balloons and bright ribbons covered the sky, and they looked funny.
The clown shuttles between the cages of black bears and tigers, and the Carnival in Mount Aden is approaching. It is a joyous scene, but his eyes are incompatible with this world, full of indifference and alienation.
"At that time, he only cared about himself and Metien." Saint Xalia did not lower her voice deliberately, not afraid of being heard by the young man, because this was the fact: "Besides, I am afraid that even Tianxin Church,
He doesn’t even take it to heart.”
If it weren't for his adoptive father's will, he would never waste time and money on those believers, not to mention that many of them are not pious and only come for bread and milk.
Xino weighed her tone and said: "It sounds a bit...meaning to protect yourself wisely?"
She originally wanted to say selfish, but she felt that this description was not appropriate, because not everyone can always have a sincere and enthusiastic heart like the knights of the Gustave family. And as we all know, in this world dominated by money and power,
In the age of steam pollution, those who are keen to do good deeds will not be rewarded. If social rules originally promote selfishness, then those who follow the rules cannot be blamed.
"Indifferent, selfish, wise and self-protective... I don't think they are any of them." Saint Xalia shook her head and said, "It's just that someone drew a circle for him to isolate him from the world."
That person is Ringer's father, Mr. Yang Ke.
Perhaps this was not his original intention. He just hoped that after his death he could still have the power to protect the two children until they could become independent and face the wind and rain of the outside world. But Ringer tried to build this protective shell into
It is an eternal shelter, so it refuses to break it, but instead constantly reinforces it with a cold tone, distant eyes and an aloof mentality.
It wasn't until the fateful moment came that this closed world was broken like an egg by some strong and mysterious force. The girl with green hair appeared in front of him, making the young man realize that some things can be changed without resistance.
He is actually a very fragile person, Saint Xalia sometimes thinks so, and then she feels ridiculous. If Ringo is considered fragile, probably no one in the world would dare to say that he is strong enough.
She didn't know that it was some kind of omen rather than a momentary impulse.
"Do you think this change is good?" Xino suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Ringer outside the house. The young man seemed not to be aware of the discussion between the two girls, and still stood on the edge of the cliff silently.
The wind was blowing and she stared at the twilight of the mountains at dusk. As if to confirm something, she asked again: "Do you like the Ringer of the past or the Ringer of now?"
Faced with such an explicit question, Saint Xia Liya did not blush because she could hear that Xino's tone was serious, so she also thought about it seriously. When she spoke again, she did not answer directly, but talked about something.
An unrelated thing: "I heard from Metien that Ringer used to like to laugh very much, and his smile was very good-looking."
"Smile..." Xino stared at the young man's back and slowly shook his head: "To be honest, I can't imagine such a scene."
"Then do you want to see it?"
"Huh?" Xino chuckled: "You said that, I'm quite looking forward to it."
Just like Alice said, everyone likes contrasts. For example, the submissive Iyeta suddenly becomes strong, the naughty little bat and Xiemi suddenly become good students like Metien, and
Or make the usually cold Ringer smile?
"With Ringer's temperament, the contrast effect should be better, right?" The girl knight sighed: "I kind of believe what Meidian said. Maybe he will look good when he smiles?"
When Saint Xia Liya heard this, she turned to look at her for a while. Just when Xino was confused and didn't know what she said wrong, she suddenly asked: "If you see Lin Ge's smile,
Will you be very excited, Xino?"
"this--"
Xino was caught off guard by her and had no time to react. She always felt that no matter how she answered at this time, she would be wrong, so she could only blink her burgundy eyes and pretend to be confused: "What does this mean, Xiaoxia, I don't quite understand.
ah."
"That is to say," Saint Xalia didn't seem to notice that she was pretending to be confused, and repeated it in a more concise and clear way: "Will you like Ringer?"
Xino couldn't pretend to be confused now. Wouldn't that make her more suspicious? She scratched her cheek, feeling helpless: "Why do you think so?"
"Because you and Linge seem to have a tacit understanding." Sheng Xia Liya frowned slightly. She felt that the tacit understanding between Linge and Xino was almost catching up with the tacit understanding between him and herself. But she knew Linge the earliest, and
It has only been a month since Xino joined the team. Counting the two months he lived in Chatoli Manor, it is not that long. How can he make such rapid progress?
Is it because they get along well?
"This..." Xino wanted to say, because she and Linge both have a mature adult mentality, and are very similar in how they treat others. This is a feeling that other young girls who have never lived in the secular world cannot understand, but so
It was a bit of a show off, and it might annoy Xiao Xia? So she changed her words again: "Maybe it's because our ways of thinking are similar? Besides, having a tacit understanding doesn't mean we have to like each other.
Yeah, he could be a good partner. Besides, I am actually not interested in the emotional affairs between men and women right now. I would rather focus my energy on fighting against the witch association. Before breaking the conspiracy of the witch association, I probably wouldn’t have any thoughts in this regard.
"
"Is this the so-called careerism?" Saint Xia Liya thought thoughtfully: "Linge seems to have said so. You guys really have a tacit understanding, Xino."
"Well."
Is this self-defeating?
Xino was speechless. He just thought to himself, how could anyone fall in love with Ringer after seeing his smile? After all, he is just a human being, not some weird species. Even if he is born with the power of charm
The flower fairy doesn’t have this ability, right?
I guess only Xiaoxia thinks so.
However, there are many simple-minded girls on Cloud Whale Sky Island, such as Olvera and Ietta. If they heard Konatsu’s theory, would they also believe it? If everyone believed this setting, it would be
Wouldn’t it become a reality? This seems a bit too advanced for the girl knight.
Ringer, you are truly a sinful man... although I know this was not your intention.
Countless thoughts unrelated to the topic at hand flashed through Xino's mind, and the trend seemed to get worse. Fortunately, Lin Ge appeared in time and interrupted her random thoughts.
"What are you talking about?"
He didn't know when he was standing at the door of the stone house, looking at the two girls with strange eyes. When he stood on the edge of the mountain, he could vaguely hear words like laughter, like, and tacit understanding coming from the wind, but
It's unethical to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, so he didn't focus on it.
There seems to be some secret hidden in it that he doesn't know about?
Facing the young man's plain but scrutinizing eyes, Xino's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that it seemed difficult to get over this matter.
"Nothing." Saint Xalia said calmly: "We were just talking about our favorite foods. Xino said that she likes to eat the wine-soaked hazelnut cake, a specialty dessert in Grindelwald Fields. She will be happy every time she eats it.
She laughed out loud, and Brandi also liked eating this dessert, so she felt that she and Brandi really had a tacit understanding."
Let me go, can this be rounded off? You are invincible, Xiaoxia.
Xino couldn't help but look sideways, then nodded repeatedly, and said with a serious face: "Yes, we are talking about this. By the way, if you want the wine-soaked hazelnut cake to be soft and delicious, with a hint of wine astringency in the sweetness, just
You must choose the highest-end wine, such as the Chardonnay wine brewed in the ancestral estate of our Costafa family. Unfortunately, when you came, the wine in the estate was not yet mature, so you were not able to taste this specialty. It is really a pity.
."
The regretful expression on her face was so real that Saint Xalia also looked at her with suspicion: I was just saying casually, is there really such a specialty dessert in Grindelwald Fields?
"..."
Ringer looked at Saint Xalia on the left and Xino on the right, and couldn't help but fall into silence.
These two people seem to have forgotten that every time they arrive in a new area, Ringer will check the relevant information in advance to understand the geographical features, urban conditions, customs, etc. of the area, so he can tell you with certainty that there is no such thing as Grindelwald Wilderness.
Such a dessert is called wine-soaked hazelnut cake. Fontainebleau, the capital of Baicheng, has a similar dessert, but it is called wine-soaked hazelnut cake.
Sure enough, there is something you are hiding from me.
However, Ringer never thought of exposing them. Judging from the reactions of the two girls, it seems that the secret is not convenient for outsiders to know. Anyone who tries to expose it will pay a heavy price... Curiosity will kill Alice, but
He wasn't Alice, so he didn't want to die like this.
He changed the subject and said, "Since there's nothing wrong, let's start working."
The surveying and mapping work of the star map has not yet been completed. Although the general idea has been developed, only some data calculations and formula substitutions are left. However, it is a tedious process. Ringer estimates that it will take at least a week to get the results.
"Work? Ringer, when you use this term, it always makes me feel that I am actually a hired worker responsible for pruning and fertilizing in the vineyard, rather than carrying out one of the most exciting undertakings in the history of human astronomy and mathematics. Although
——" Xino laughed at himself: "They are actually all manual labor, that's about it."
"Then you should be glad that you are not in Linville City."
Ringer replied expressionlessly: "For people living in that city, the word 'work' is much crueler than working in a vineyard."
Xino was stunned for a moment before he realized what this meant. As we all know, Linwell City is an industrial city, and the nickname "Sad City" has even spread to distant foreign countries and is well known. Buried under the ruins on the outskirts of the city,
Not only the bones of the princes and nobles during the Hundred Years War, but also the innocent souls swallowed by steam and boilers.
"This is not very funny." She murmured: "Could this be the hell joke Alice told? Ringer, try telling some ordinary jokes next time, so as not to hurt my conscience again."
"I'll pay attention."
Lin Ge replied, then passed the two of them and walked into the room. There were manuscript papers and books stacked on the stone table, waiting for someone to pick up the pen.
Saint Xalia stared at Lin Ge's back, then looked at Xino who shook his head with a wry smile, and thought to herself, these two people really have a good understanding, and her feeling was not wrong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We have only known each other for more than a month, maybe we will have a better understanding in the future?
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little melancholy.
well.
At this time, Lin Ge suddenly stopped and looked back. His eyes fell on Sheng Xia Liya, as if he heard her sigh just now. But in fact, Sheng Xia Liya was convinced that she was sighing in her heart, absolutely
She didn't make any sound, so when she faced his attention, she just blinked blankly: "What's wrong, Ringer?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of a question." Ringer said: "Since you were just discussing your favorite foods, Xino said she likes wine-soaked hazelnut cake, what about you, Saint Xalia, what do you like?"
"Huh?" Saint Xalia didn't expect that he would actually ask such a question. She blinked her eyes again. In addition to being confused, she was also a little surprised: "Why does Linger want to know such a thing?"
"No special reason." The young man said without thinking, as if the answer had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "I just wanted to ask."
"Oh." Saint Xalia nodded thoughtfully, then bent her eyes, and a clear smile appeared on her face. Her joy came from her heart, and anyone could detect it: "My favorite
I don’t know about the food yet, maybe there will be in the future; but there is one food that impressed me the most, and that is carrot stewed beef.”
“Beef stew with carrots?”
"Well, that was the day... the food Xiaoyang and I ate at Tianxin Church seemed to have been cooked by you, Ringe." Saint Xalia said softly: "With you, Metien, and Alice
Together."
After Lin Ge was silent for a long time, he nodded gently: "Yes."
He said nothing more and turned around and left.
Saint Xalia no longer felt the same sense of loss as before. She looked at the young man's back and felt very fulfilled and safe in her heart. She had a feeling that she was invincible.
"..."
Xino looked at this scene and scratched his cheek in confusion: I seem to be caught in the middle again?
