Finally, she held back the tears that were about to burst out of Geli's eyes.
It was as if as long as Wayne didn't see her face, her vulnerability wouldn't be exposed to him.
"So..." Her voice was slightly hoarse, "What you call unhappy is just a person silently assuming, what will happen if you break away from the Wenche family?"
"Uh, that's not it."
Wayne felt that she was treating him like a sad little girl.
"Generally speaking, as long as the parents are magicians, then the children are very likely to awaken magic power; but if the parents are civilians, it is almost impossible for the children to awaken, right?" he said.
Geli didn't quite understand why he mentioned this, so he just said "hmm" in a low voice.
"Where I grew up when I was a child... due to the remote location and inconvenient transportation to the outside world, the people living there didn't even understand magic." He spoke in an erratic tone, with unpredictable emotions in his eyes. .
He had never talked to Song Li about such a long time ago.
"Due to a conflict, I lost control of my emotions and used so-called 'magic' that they had never seen before, so I was regarded as an evil monster by those people."
Geli, who was lying in his arms, stiffened for a moment.
"But later on, I never realized that it was a strange thing for me, who was supposed to be inactive and silent all my life like them, to suddenly awaken to magic one day."
He also thought that he might be the same lucky person as Tasia, and that he could awaken magic just because of fate.
To put it bluntly, this is just the underlying logic like "work settings". You don't have to think about why this is the case, you just need to accept it with peace of mind.
"At that time, I never thought about whether there was something wrong with my understanding of the world."
"But now...I'm a little doubtful of all this."
It wasn't just his dislike of Norman that bothered him.
What made him resist even more was the lack of control over the plot.
It turns out that he did not awaken to magic by chance, and Duke Elliot did not adopt him out of complete pity...
What I thought was a coincidence at first was actually all intentional.
Although I had a slightly unnatural feeling at a certain moment, that slight sense of violation had long been deliberately ignored by me as a time traveler.
After all, he is a time traveler - cheating is normal.
However, how many things like this are going on behind the scenes that will completely subvert my previous understanding?
After quietly listening to the few words he revealed, Geli didn't speak for a while.
As if she felt a little cold, she hugged him a little tighter.
Although she still couldn't understand what he suspected, Song Li felt... the disappointment in his tone.
"Maybe I'm too worried." Wayne closed his eyes.
Thinking about it carefully, he did notice that the man's attitude seemed not quite right.
When the two met for the first time in the circus, Norman Laird had been looking at himself and Chris with meaningful eyes.
The two parties were clearly enemies, but without knowing that he had hidden strength, he "released" time and time again to allow himself to leave.
...If he could have taken action against him earlier, maybe he wouldn't have to think about such troublesome issues now.
"False worries?" Ge Li suddenly asked. "What's the meaning?"
"An allusion comes from... the historical textual research documents of an unknown small country."
After giving her a few casual words, Wayne carried her off the carpet and back to the bed: "Let's go to bed early. Don't think about those messy things. You'll lose sleep."
Geli's eyes widened suddenly, "Didn't we agree that you also want to hear me finish an unhappy thing?"
"Strictly speaking, these few words that I said without beginning or end cannot be considered as telling you about my unhappy things..."
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Wayne's shamelessness finally gave way under Ge Li's silent gaze, "Okay, okay, you say it!"
He lay down next to Ge Li with an expression as if he was ready to die.
Ge Li was so angry that he was so shameless that she sat down on him in a frenzy and prepared to beat him.
Wayne couldn't help but laugh as he locked her hands and clamped her legs tightly in his arms: "Calm down! Calm down, my dear!"
"I've had enough of you! You'll bully me!"
Realizing that she could never escape from his control, Ge Li felt extremely aggrieved.
"I just want to liven up the atmosphere, ahem..." Wayne corrected his attitude, "Well, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to be able to solve Miss Songli's problems?"
Ge Li was held tightly by him, frowning slightly and breathing heavily.
After a while, she said in a cold voice: "Of course you are lucky, because the things that make me unhappy are related to you!"
——You know!
Wayne had already expected that Ge Li's request was directed at him, so he wasn't surprised.
He nodded calmly: "Please tell me."
"What do you like about Chris?" She squinted her eyes and carefully examined his expression, who was so close.
"...All of them." Wayne replied without changing his expression.
"Which one do you prefer, a person who is getting along or a person who is motivated?"
Geli's face was expressionless and he immediately asked the next question without leaving him any time to think.
"I like them all." Wayne remained unchanged in response to all changes.
"Don't say you like them all!" Ge Li wanted to hit him again.
——So, people often long for sincerity, but no one wants to hear the truth.
"I like you, I like you, I like you the most! Okay?"
After saying that, Wayne silently added in his heart [One. 】
The girl in her arms finally calmed down and stopped struggling.
"I know you're lying to me," she said. "But even if you lie to me... you can only say this from now on."
Hearing these words, Wayne felt very uncomfortable.
…
weekend.
Wayne returned to Qingxi Academy in the name of helping Professor Conley test new props, while ensuring that Chris did not follow him.
It wasn't that he was so diligent that he had to study hard on weekends, but because he made an appointment with Tasia to meet her in the academy on weekends.
And the reason why he kept it secret from Chris was just because he didn't want her to become suspicious.
If Chris discovered something was wrong and wanted to get to the bottom of it, it would be too difficult for him to explain.
Walking in the empty corridor, passing by locked classrooms, Wayne felt a little complicated.
Qingxi Academy covers a large area and has many vacant classrooms.
Although most of them are assigned to some teachers or clubs to provide venues for their activities, it is not difficult to borrow them temporarily as long as the relationship between the two parties is good enough.
