Li Meng jumped down from the tree and landed lightly in front of Cruise.
Patting Cruise on the shoulder, Li Meng said carelessly: "You are so cruel to yourself. I like it. Why, do you want to be friends with me? If you really want to participate in the hunter trial, you are just exercising.
But that’s not possible.”
His eyes lit up, Cruise looked up timidly at Li Meng, and said cautiously: "Can you teach me?"
Li Meng raised his head and chest, and said proudly: "I won't say anything else, but I can still teach you how to fight with others."
With only a pinched look on his face, Cruise lowered his head and said, "Thank you!"
With a chuckle, Li Meng put his arm around Cruise's shoulders and walked towards the forest from whence he came.
"Thank you, Aunt Emily, for taking such good care of me. You and I are similar in age. Let's train together. Don't you want to take part in the hunter trial? I also want to take part in the hunter trial. Let's go together."
"real?"
"Of course, I can still lie to you, but I, Li Meng, never lie to others."
"By the way, aren't you afraid that I am telling lies and lying to you?"
"No, I believe in you. I...I can only jump five meters high. You can jump higher than me and you are stronger than me."
In the forest, the two people gradually moved away and disappeared into the depths of the forest. Also disappearing with them were their voices.
When Li Meng and Cruise returned to the house, Emily had already prepared breakfast.
Seeing that Li Meng and Cruise were back, Emily, who was carrying food to the dining table, smiled slightly and said, "Go and wash your hands, let's start dinner."
This breakfast is very rich, including rice porridge, bread, and cheese.
Li Meng was hungry, and Cruise, who had undergone intense exercise, was even hungrier. At the dining table, the two of them devoured their food.
A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and within five minutes, Li Meng and Cruise put down their bowls and chopsticks almost at the same time.
Looking at Li Meng timidly, Cruise stood up with his head lowered and said: "I'm full..."
With that said, Cruise left the dining table and walked out the door.
After glancing at Cruise's leaving figure, Emily withdrew her gaze and ate silently.
With a smile, Li Meng said a little embarrassedly: "Well, Aunt Emily, I plan to stay on the island for a few days, can you interrupt me for a while?"
Smiling slightly, Emily looked at Li Meng with reproachful eyes, and said softly: "Didn't Auntie say, treat this place as your home, just stay here, as long as you want."
With a smile, Li Meng turned around and said: "Then excuse me, um, I'm full and I'm going to go for a walk."
With that said, Li Meng stood up and walked out the door.
It wasn't until Li Meng's figure disappeared into the hall that Emily withdrew her sight.
"After all, he is Kai's child. You can't stop him. Rather than letting her leave with a guilty heart, it's better to let her go on the road with peace of mind. Emily, my daughter, you know that sooner or later such a day will come.
, why not let go?”
At some point, the old woman who always squinted her eyes opened her eyes and looked at Emily.
Emily was silent in response to her mother's words, and absentmindedly ate the food in the bowl.
Maybe my mother is right and it's time to let go.
"Cruise, wait for me..."
In the forest, Li Meng caught up with Cruise who was walking quickly.
Walking side by side with Cruise, Li Meng said: "You must also exercise properly. You have just eaten, so you need to let your stomach digest it. I will teach you some things you must learn later at the lake."
With only expectation in his eyes, he secretly glanced at Li Meng beside him, and Cruise whispered: "Is this a battle?"
Li Meng said: "No, don't worry. Before I teach you how to fight, you have other things to learn."
Anything else to learn?
Cruise began to look forward to it. He wanted to know what Li Meng would teach him.
With the strength of their feet, they arrived at the small lake in the forest in a short while.
Arriving at the lake, Li Meng stopped five meters away from the water and sat cross-legged on the grass.
"sit down!"
Although he was a little puzzled, Cruise still followed Li Meng's example and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as he sat down, Cruise quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Meng's eyes.
Seeing Cruise's behavior, Li Meng shook his head inwardly. It may take some time to correct this low self-esteem character, but fortunately they still have some time.
Looking at Cruise, who lowered his head, Li Meng said in a deep voice: "Cruise, you can't lower your head in battle. Once you lower your head, you will fail and be killed. You should focus on
Focus on the enemy instead of looking at the earth. The hunter's trial is very cruel and will kill people. If you participate in the hunter trial like this, you will only die. You will never become a hunter."
Listening to Li Meng's words, Cruise bit his lip, clenched his fists, and his face turned pale.
He also wants to face others, but he can't do it, he can't do it...
Stretching out his hands, Li Meng grabbed Cruise's shoulders and said: "Cruise, the reason why you are afraid of looking at others is because you are very sensitive inside and will think about what others will do because of other people's eyes.
What they think, what they think of you, Cruise, you have to know, it doesn’t matter what they think of you, because you are you, you are an independent individual, an individual who can make his own decisions, you can be whoever you want to be
It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are, their opinions are not important, you cannot live in other people’s world, you must control your own life.”
Lowering his head deeply, Cruise said timidly: "I know, but...but I just..."
Smiling slightly, Li Meng said: "I know this is difficult, don't rush, let's take our time, come on, raise your head, look at me, don't treat me as a stranger, as your mirror, as the air, don't think about what will happen to me
I miss you, and I won’t laugh at you, because you are my friend, and friends should open their hearts to each other, right?"
With his hands clenched into fists, a trace of panic flashed in Cruise's eyes. What should he do?
Yes, Li Meng is his friend. He can't let his friend down, and he can't let his friend see him being so cowardly.
After taking a deep breath, Cruise's eyes became firm and he slowly raised his head.
He saw it, saw Li Meng's body, neck, chin, nose, and finally his eyes...
When the two people's eyes met, Cruz trembled inwardly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, his face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head.
Holding the clothes tightly with both hands, Cruise lowered his head and said apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Feeling quite amused in his heart, Li Meng secretly shook his head. This guy actually blushed. He must be too shy.
Smiling slightly, Li Meng patted Cruise on the shoulders and comforted him: "It's okay, take your time, don't look at my eyes this time, look at the center of my eyebrows, just focus on the center of my eyebrows."
With Li Meng's comfort, Cruise plucked up the courage again and slowly raised his head...
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, take your time, avoid my sight, ignore my sight."
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
"Come again, it's already good, come again."
The two of them had been sitting stupidly by the lake, and their apologies and encouragements echoed on the lake.
