It was already dark, and the interior of the Calliope Hall was brightly lit. The bright lights illuminated the dark earth through the glass windows, reflecting the huge glass painting on the lawn in a slightly deformed posture. Qin Qianbai turned her back to Guanghuo, walking past luxury cars that did not belong to her, walking towards the deserted dark night with her legs, her thin back looking a little lonely.
Perhaps it was because school hadn't started yet, so there wasn't a single person on campus at night. Fortunately, she remembered the way she came, so she could go back the same way and take a taxi back to her home.
Qin Qianbai walked quietly for a while and arrived at the main road of the campus illuminated by street lights. This is a ramp. The Calliope Hall is located on the branch road above the ramp, and at the end of the main road is the teaching building. Students in this school have to climb from below to above every day, like climbing a mountain.
There was a bright silver car under the streetlight, and the brown-haired boy stood beside the car with a troubled look on his face.
Qin Qianbai thought this was strange, because there was only one road from the guild hall to here that she had just walked. Maybe Orus used a secret passage or had super powers to move his location.
"Miss Qin, I promised you that you can leave at any time...but what I mean is that I will drive you back. In Usters, no man will watch a lady walking a block away on her feet. , no matter how powerful she is."
Qin Qianbai stood still and said as if stating the facts.
"You look considerate."
Aurus smelled a hint of hostility in these words. He pretended not to know anything and was about to open the car door: "In my home country, this is the basic quality a man should have. Maybe I-"
"Miss Claire likes you." Qin Qianbai interrupted him coldly, as abruptly as a long knife cutting through a knot.
Orus seemed to have really not expected that she would suddenly mention this matter. He seemed a little embarrassed: "...I'm sorry, this is a private matter between us."
Qin Qianbai was talking to herself, not paying attention to his reaction at all.
"Her love for you is clear at a glance, even if I just met her, I can detect it. Unless he is as clumsy and stupid as the man in the storybook, there will never be anyone who has been with her day and night without noticing her feelings.
You are anything but stupid, Aurus Optimus. You know everything about what's going on in other people's minds, and you know what everyone around you is thinking, but your performance tonight surprised me. "
Aurus immediately understood the source of this hostility. This child seems to have never attended similar occasions. She is a complete novice! He explained slowly, with a hint of laughter.
"I think you misunderstood, Miss Qin. This is a welcome party, and we all need a little skill to mobilize our emotions. This is not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a well-prepared performance, decided jointly by Claire and me."
Qin Qianbai's eyes became colder.
"You told a disgraceful past in front of the public and shared her story with so many people. It is true that you once helped her, but this should not be talked about to outsiders. This will make a person extremely embarrassed. ? Your generosity is shined in the light, where should her face be placed?
Miss Creya agreed to this proposal, because she loves and admires you, and she can abandon her face for you. But if you really care about her mood, you shouldn't make such a performance. "
The brown-haired boy leaned against the car and explained in a teacher-like tone: "I think this is a cultural difference. We don't mind sharing each other's privacy. There are no outsiders in our organization. Everyone will talk about each other's past, like understanding brothers. Sisters understand each other and this allows us to work together."
Qin Qianbai remembered someone's words. She repeated it in exactly the same tone.
"You need corresponding qualifications to step into other people's hearts." She added the second half of the sentence on her own initiative, "If we lose the basic distance, how can we respect each other? I still have something unclear, and I hope you can answer it. Why did the man I met yesterday apologize to me?"
Aurus spread his hands and said, "I apologize for their rudeness."
"Have they ever lost their etiquette? Wasn't it me who made the mistake because I acted in a hurry?" Qin Qianbai said aggressively, "They expect you, the leader, to vent their anger for them, but you ask them to apologize to me just to please me. Even if you die, Wings like that
Even the rude and stupid villains know how to spare a favor for their brothers, but you, an elite born from a noble family, have no intention of caring for your subordinates. "
Aurus's face became serious, he frowned, and said in an almost dissuasive tone: "You are thinking the worst about everything. This may be the impact of the environment. In fact..."
Qin Qianbai shook his head regretfully, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"If you really cared about the thoughts of your subordinates, you should have put me aside long ago to communicate with them who have been ignored." The girl said, "But in your eyes, the me we met for the first time is more important than them. . Aulus Optimis, you are really wise at recognizing people. But you only see people’s talents and don’t care about their hearts. Your long speech is all nonsense.”
Aulus asked, seemingly confused: "I don't think I--"
Qin Qianbai couldn't help it anymore: "When practicing martial arts, we still emphasize on cultivating the mind and neglecting skills. Isn't it strange that educating people does the opposite? Skills are subtle and subtle, and teaching is the most important thing. I am watching the scene. Of all the people, one out of three is younger than me. Such young people have immature minds and unclear principles. They don’t even know how to behave, so how can they talk about great causes and ideals? Your words make them think they are self-righteous, and they are really misleading people."
The brown-haired boy took on a teacher-like posture and said in his charming voice: "Miss Qin, mental maturity is not necessarily related to age. It is not uncommon for ordinary families to take on important responsibilities early, let alone mine. What about those with super powers? Maybe you underestimated their abilities!"
"It is true that a few young talents already have adult minds when they were children, but that kind of genius is still a minority when looking at the world. How can it be possible that all the guests in this room are geniuses?" Qin Qianbai became more and more unhappy, "The number of people outside the banquet hall So what about millions of people? How will those ordinary students, who are just trying to find a stable place to survive in the chaos and can't stand your eyes, live in the world of your imagination?"
"Everyone has their own talents, and they will get suitable tasks and jobs." Orus said softly.
"Wishful thinking is nonsense. You have never cared about what others think."
Qin Qianbai believed that she had truly seen this young man, and she did not want to argue with him anymore.
"Aulus Optimis, you have commented on my friend, so I will also talk about you in my eyes."
She took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and spoke slowly like a teacher.
"Aulus was of noble birth, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and a talented young man. He knew people well, had great ambitions, was generous, cherished talented people, seemed to be righteous, and liked to spread wealth. He was powerful, had a great reputation, was thoughtful, and accepted people's wishes. Xiang, with his eloquent tongue and the help of everyone, is indeed a heroic figure.
However, he observes people's hearts but does not show mercy, knows that he is doing good deeds but does not do them, takes advantage of kindness to repay kindness, and performs righteousness for personal gain. Bullying the superiors and flattering the inferiors, using strength to bully the weak, this is not what a gentleman should do! This is because his heart is cold and his feelings are unrecognizable. Although there are no evil thoughts in the heart, good things cannot exist either. "
Qin Qianbai looked directly into the young man's eyes and said his final conclusion.
"You are not a real villain, you are a hypocrite!"
After saying that, she walked away and disappeared into the night.
Orus stood silently, holding the car door handle. His eyes flashed for a moment, and then he returned to calm, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
The girl had already disappeared, but he had no intention of turning back to his venue. Aurus looked ahead silently until a voice sounded from behind him.
"She's a hard girl to deal with, huh?" the man said, "Relax, Supreme Crown. This is your car. If you don't want it, you can give it to me."
Badman Ives appeared here unnoticed and reached out to give him a lift on the car.
Aurus moved his fingers slowly, like a pianist before playing. He looked at Deathwing's deputy, smiled and said, "Good evening, Badman. Is the Earth Escape Technique useful?"
"It's not bad, it's easy to walk. Don't worry, I just got here! I saw her face when I came here, and I guess she must have made you very unhappy." Badman smiled rudely, "How about it, O Ruth? A failed date? Or do you want to use your usual tricks on her and call you God like the other *** in the light core?"
"How exactly?
? I'm surprised to see you here... I don't remember sending an invitation to Deathwing in advance. "
Badman twitched the corners of his lips, understanding the meaning of the young master's words.
"No problem, Deathwing will cooperate with you, and I will make the boss happy to cooperate with you." He stood in front of Orus and rubbed his fingers exaggeratedly, "But you know, cooperation is something that both parties have to pay for. "
"what do you want?"
"Help me settle this case. Evidence, a scapegoat, an alibi, a wording that will convince the boss, and a confidentiality agreement. Cooperate until the end of your plan."
Orus looked down at his watch.
"If I have to pay so much for a collaboration that lasts less than two weeks, why don't I talk to John Garcia face to face?"
Badman increased the strength of his hands, and he made a hole in the top of the car.
"What do you want?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"I will designate the scapegoat, and I think our cooperative relationship can last longer. Even though we were enemies once, this does not prevent us from being friends for a long time in the future."
Aurus was able to exploit the predators' weaknesses with ease. One wrong step after another, this person has no way to escape. Apart from Aurus Optimis, Badman can no longer find anyone who is willing to help him and has the ability to help him.
"Think carefully, Badman." Orus reminded mockingly, "Once you make a choice, you can never look back."
Badman roared ferociously: "You trash! Damn it! OK, I'll listen to you, but I want you to provide new abilities, not only now, but also in the future. I can't use this damn escape anymore!"
Aurus stretched out his hand with satisfaction: "Maybe you should change your name to me."
"Fuck you fake bitch," Badman scolded, "you're not qualified to be my boss."
Aurus didn't care at all. He never cared about these noises like the flapping of mosquito wings.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate. Also, you don't need to change your abilities for the time being."
"You want to regret it?"
"How could it be? It's just that sometimes, the truth is more convincing than lies." Orus smiled faintly, "You don't need to change the truth... just add a lie, that's enough."
Badman shook his hand firmly.
A secret deal was concluded. Aurus failed to win over Qin's daughter, but he will temporarily get help from the Wings of Death. Tonight's failure brought him a little sense of frustration, and he was going to turn this long-lost feeling into motivation, action and upward motivation.
Badman's request for help gave him an idea. He realized that this would be an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

"Master, stop on the side of the road."
Qin Qianbai paid the bill with the temporarily borrowed banknotes from his neighbor and got out of the taxi. She went to the supermarket, and about five minutes later, she came out carrying a small bag and headed home.
The light was on in the window of Gongsun Ce's house, and the young man should have gone back. Qin Qianbai tiptoed towards the door, hoping to avoid the detection of the invisible force and return home silently.
But his ability didn't seem to rely on sound detection. As soon as he reached the door, Gongsun Ce's door opened. The gray-haired boy stuck his head out and asked listlessly: "Did you go shopping?"
Qin Qianbai immediately hid the purchased ingredients and said seriously: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Ah?" Gongsun Ce nodded, "Ah, okay, I'll help you move the furniture in using telekinesis. Good night."
Qin Qianbai waited until her neighbor went back before walking into the house with the bag. She soaked the white rice in water and peeled the walnuts in advance. Finally, she put the prepared ingredients in the freezer and went to sleep peacefully after washing.
The night passed in silence.
·
The next morning, as usual, Gongsun Ce woke up from a nightmare.
"Ugh...ah!"
He clutched the quilt, his eyes full of confusion, and he felt like he was wandering in the fog. Gongsun Ce got out of bed in a daze, feeling that everything he looked around was gray and he could see everything.
Not sure.
He stood there blankly. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a knock on the door not far away.
"coming!"
Gongsun Ce answered subconsciously and walked towards the direction where the sound came from. He walked step by step, feeling that the gray and white in his dream dispersed as he stepped forward, and a clear door appeared in his field of vision.
Gongsun Ce pushed the door open, and the morning air blew in with sunshine. A girl with black hair and white clothes stood outside the door. She hid her hands behind her back and her eyes were bright, not like an afterimage from a dream.
He heard the girl say, "What would you do if I owed one hundred thousand dollars?"
Gongsun Ce's eyes almost popped out of his head. He immediately felt a stream of cold air passing through his intestines and stomach, blowing over his heart and lungs and going straight to his forehead. It was more refreshing than being showered with cooling oil.
The fog in his vision cleared, and Gongsun Ce felt dizzy due to the weight of reality. He took a breath of air and said sharply: "Auntie, what did you smash again last night?!"
"I said if."
"Tell the truth!"
Qin Qianbai looked at him complainingly: "What if."
Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and replied angrily: "What's the matter? Do you still expect me to pay you back? I waved my hand and gave you 300,000 yuan, and said coolly, "No need to look for it"? "
"Uh-huh."
...weird.
Why does it feel like she is quite happy to hear that I am weird.
"...What aroused you?"
Qin Qianbai tilted his head and asked, "Then what will you do?"
"Be sure to ask about the situation first. If you are being blackmailed, I will use some external tactics to deal with it. If you cause trouble yourself, I can help you negotiate with the other party and agree to let you pay in installments. Unless you really encounter a big situation—— For example, if you are sick and need money urgently, or your home is going to be mortgaged, otherwise no one would agree to borrow such a large amount."
Gongsun Ce explained helplessly: "This is not a matter of quantity. Money is as difficult to deal with as favors. Everyone will feel uncomfortable borrowing too much. How can a person think about "I owe him a hundred thousand yuan" every day? Treat each other as equals? "
No matter how good a friend is, under the weight of kindness, he will regard the other person as a "benefactor" or "creditor" instead of a friend. Once a relationship changes, it's difficult to get it right again.
Qin Qianbai nodded: "Of course it makes sense."
The girl took out the object hidden behind her. It was a small casserole with a handle. When you open the lid, you can see a pot full of lavender sweet soup, and the aroma of dates and walnuts comes to your face.
The girl said seriously: "I made some walnut cheese and wanted to thank you for your help these past two days."
Gongsun Ce was completely confused and felt dizzy for a while.
This emergency was beyond his experience. what is this? what?
It's not that I haven't eaten this kind of thing before... When Caldesia was keen on baking for a while, many people in the class had eaten the snacks she baked... But... ***... The girl personally came to deliver the handicrafts. Desserts...
Did he hallucinate from watching too many cartoons? Does this kind of thing really happen in reality?
"Ah, thank you, thank you."
Gongsun Ce subconsciously took the pot and smelled it, finding it quite fragrant.
Out of nowhere, he said, "Well, the portion looks quite big and I can't finish it. How about we eat together?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that they might be misunderstood: "I didn't mean that-"
"Okay." The eldest lady agreed.
"Oh." Gongsun Ce scratched his head and found that he suddenly became very clumsy and could not think of a single clever word.
He felt that the eldest lady seemed to be very happy, but he could not figure out why. With a little bit of inexplicable excitement, he said blankly: "Oh."
