After the meeting, everyone should have left, but Lin Shang, who usually left early, stayed until the end.
"Is something wrong?" Li Ruoan asked, leaning on the table in front of Lin Shang.
Lin Shang smiled, "That's terrible. Are you a primary school student giving a speech?"
Li Ruo'an folded his arms depressedly, "Is it so bad? I think it's pretty good."
"Smoking?"
Lin Shang was minding his own business and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and then asked the other party after lighting them.
"No smoking, underage."
Lin Shang didn't pursue it, he was immersed in his own world, blowing out smoke from time to time.
This cigarette is not as choking as other cigarettes, but it doesn't smell bad to Li Ruo'an.
Li Ruoan thought for a while: "Does your sister hate you smoking?"
Lin Shang looked deeply at Li Ruo'an at this time, his eyes full of the displeasure that the other person always contradicted him.
After taking a few puffs, the cigarette suddenly lost its aroma, and I wanted to put it out by pressing it on the guy's face.
Although he thought so, Lin Shang also rarely put out his cigarette.
"Let's talk."
"What to talk about?"
"My sister."
Li Ruoan thought about it, and it was the same.
Apart from fighting with coughing up blood, this guy only cares about his sister. He will only stop and think when things go to a deep level.
"Honestly, I really don't know what my sister likes about you. I can't figure it out."
Lin Shang's face was extremely gloomy and full of confusion.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill Li Ruo'an directly. Firstly, he's not sure whether he can beat him. Secondly, Lin Yiyi should be sad for a long time.
"She likes me??"
Li Ruoan was shocked, although he was pretending.
Lin Shang took another deep look at Li Ruo'an, took a deep breath, but sighed aimlessly.
"Can you change this problem? You act serious sometimes and pretend to be mentally retarded. You look like a lunatic."
In response, Li Ruoan also grabbed his hair and beat it twice.
He also felt that Lin Shang was right, but he would always get sick suddenly.
Well, Lin Yiyi likes me, um... um...
Li Ruo'an thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Once it was confirmed, all the past deeds became proof.
"Don't talk about me yet. I'm a little abnormal. What do you think is wrong with your sister?"
In this regard, Lin Shang felt that he was awesome. He could actually have a conversation with this sophisticated person. It seemed that he was not normal either.
Lin Shang covered his face shamefully, obviously thinking of this main mission.
"Do we still have time?"
"It's probably going to take a long time."
"In that case, I hope you can spend a day with her instead of me."
Li Ruoan's expression suddenly became strange, he jumped up in fear, and kept circling Lin Shang.
Good guy, you figured out how to recruit your brother-in-law.
Under the pretense of serious conversation, he seduced her step by step and threw her to him.
"Then, that...isn't that your sister? Why did you leave it to me?!"
Li Ruoan seems to have taken medicine and is now very fine.
"Don't be so surprised. To be honest, I'm more shocked than you."
Li Ruo'an calmed down a bit and looked at Lin Shang with a mentality that seemed to have aged decades.
"She seems to be sick. Ever since the tea party ended, Yiyi has always been absent-minded. I have never seen her smile."
That lively and cute little fire spirit, like a little smart boy, can watch other people's moods to make good connections little by little, and can always say pleasing words at the right time.
This is the first time Li Ruoan has seen the arrogant Lin Shang so lonely.
He was always wary of Lin Shang, but the sister he protected so well. To be honest, Li Ruo'an really liked her. No one would hate a lively and sensible little sister. This is a gentle state of mind.
"Aren't you afraid that I will bring her into danger?"
Lin Shang was silent. To be honest, he was extremely conflicted.
I thought about being able to go to a place without smoke and live a quiet life with my sister.
He also thought about being able to protect his sister in this unstable situation and use the power in his hands to determine the outcome.
However, the irony is that once he loses his power, not only can he not protect his sister, he will be the first to be liquidated.
Today's balance line is about to tilt towards one again.
"You should be able to protect her better than me, right?"
She has no use value, she is just an ordinary girl who likes people. Besides, the person I care about most is by your side, do you think I will still be a threat to you?
This is what Lin Shang told Li Ruoan.
Obviously, this time Lin Yiyi was really hurt by a certain situation, so much so that Lin Shang came forward.
This time, Li Ruoan remained silent for much longer than him, and did not reply for a long time.
Can Li Ruoan protect him? real?
Li Ruo'an wants to protect the people around him more than anyone else, and he knows that feeling better than anyone else.
So much so that no one can abandon him, and no one can protect him.
How ridiculous.
He wants to protect everyone around him, but no one can stand by his side, and now someone says that he believes in himself, which is ridiculous.
Li Ruoan's silence also let Lin Shang know Li Ruoan's true intentions. The silence was not about revenge, but his trust in his inner defense.
The more silent he is, the more untrustworthy Li Ruoan is in himself.
Maybe Lin Shang also gave up. He stood up slowly and seemed to be leaving.
They are knights, guardian knights with extremely powerful power. They can kill any monster to protect human beings. The most ironic thing about people like them is that they can protect everyone, but they do not include their loved ones. Relatives and friends.
This is the knight.
That’s why such extreme knights appeared. Li Ruoan and Lin Shang were just knights to protect one person.
This is not selfishness, but self-preservation after gaining strength from those who climbed up from the bottom.
"I'm just telling you, it's your business whether to go or not. At least as an ordinary person, I will help you."
After saying this, Lin Shang had already left the house.
"You have to be sincere when asking for help. Otherwise, how can I hide my feelings? I'm a bastard who doesn't understand human feelings. No wonder I don't have any friends, tsk."
Li Ruoan touched his nose and stretched himself, as if he was about to have a big fight.
"Idiot, you know she is your weakness, why don't you understand why your adults packed you and her up here."
Li Ruo'an looked deeply at the direction Lin Shang left, and felt more and more that there was something unusual behind him.
"Don't tell her."
A lingering message floated outside the door.
"That's a lot to ask for."
Li Ruo'an made a disgusted face, then turned around and walked out from the other door.
The two people also left in two different directions, like a straight line, and the roads no longer intersected.
······
"Brother...I'm scared..."
Among the ashes, there was a little girl with two pigtails being led by an older boy.
"Don't be afraid Yiyi, brother will always protect you."
The boy who was on the run was still comforting his sister, so calm and disconnected at such an age.
At this time, it was the disaster of the giant barbarian bull invading the upper city.
They didn't know what caused the disaster, and they didn't know what the upper city would become after this, but he knew what he had lost, and the illusory future was beyond words.
"Brother... where are mom and dad? Why don't we go find them..."
Lin Yiyi stopped crying and held back her tears firmly, her voice trembling.
"It's okay~ They... they must be waiting for us to go back in the safe area. We must return to the shelter and don't let them worry."
The boy replied decisively, but the hesitation in his tone could not be hidden.
I was still thinking about the age when my parents acted coquettishly, but at this time, the boy Que resolutely held his sister's hand and walked through ruins one after another.
In times of disaster, walking along the crowd or against the crowd is not the best evacuation route. Choosing another route in the direction of the crowd and the beast tide is undoubtedly the safest, and the boy is doing this.
This was once a bustling street with people playing on the street. He remembered where the ruins were and what the original boss looked like. On one side were fruit farmers selling fruits and vegetables, and on the other side were rows of food stalls. , there are also entertainment venues, various stores, and bosses, which are extremely clear.
He was born here, grew up here, and lives here.
But now I can no longer see him, and the sadness in his eyes has been replaced by perseverance and growth.
He lied to his sister, he witnessed the tragic death of his parents, and the scene when his neighbors fled in hope of survival.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, the roar of monsters came from all around.
That is, a humanoid monster.
The monster rushed over, several times faster than a boy of several years old!
He easily threw the boy down, suppressing him tightly, and the sharp claws penetrated deeply into his shoulders.
pain! The pain was so painful that the boy's face turned hideous, and the pain was so painful that he wanted to yell like crazy.
"Yiyi!"
The boy struggled hard, thinking only of his sister, even though the sharp claws were about to tear him off from his shoulders.
Behind this humanoid monster, there were several similar monsters, and they all rushed towards the little girl collectively.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
But no matter how much he roared and struggled, he couldn't escape. He could only watch his sister in danger.
However, the monster seemed to have spirituality. It did not kill him immediately, but made him watch the person he loved most die in front of him again!
The boy beat the monster weakly, but the angry attack was like a tickle. The monster opened its bloody mouth and screamed strangely in front of him.
A burst of gunfire passed by, and all the humanoid monsters were killed in an instant.
The boy pulled out the sharp claws that penetrated his shoulders, ran to his sister without stopping, and hugged her tightly.
"Qingyan, don't leave the team without authorization. The main task is to clear out the giant and mad bulls."
"I know."
Green Eyes in the cockpit saw that the brother and sister on the screen were safe, then returned to the route, and the red machine shadow disappeared on the other side of the street.
However, this planted a seed for the still young Lin Shang, who looked at the powerful weapon with appraising and cruel eyes.
The savior was the knight of the Eastern Dragon Division.
"Yiyi, it's okay. From now on, my brother will protect you."
Young Lin Shang took his sister and fled again. However, this time, the road ahead of him was clear.
"No matter what time, brother will help you fulfill your wish."
Lin Shang murmured to himself as he walked on the school road, as if he was engraving this promise into his mind again and could not forget it.
