Since it is a relatively remote small tower, there are no other students here except the two of them.
After the teacher chef named Luoping finished serving the dishes, he felt very proud that he had left to create a private space for Ge Sheng and Ye Qing.
But when Ye Qing finished those words, the air suddenly became stagnant.
Ge Sheng bit his lip, slowly.
"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you."
"Because..." Ye Qing was about to speak.
"Then." Ge Sheng interrupted: "Excuse?"
This quiet boy suddenly showed his sharp edge, like an enraged cheetah.
"Then why didn't you say anything when I asked you?" He looked into Ye Qing's eyes, and the darkness in his brother's eyes, who had been quiet just now, filled up.
Ye Qing rarely saw Ge Sheng with such a terrifying expression. He was usually quiet and shy. To use a metaphor, he was like a seal-like animal, docile and harmless. No matter who saw him, he was willing to get close to him.
But at this moment, he was angered by a word, and after being angered, his minions became angry.
"You." Ge Sheng asked the last question directly: "Are you deceiving me?"
Are you cheating on me?
Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng's expression, so serious.
On the roof of the igloo two years ago, they made a promise to each other, never to cheat or betray.
After making that promise, the two exchanged each other's deepest secrets, and that promise has never been broken since.
Until today, two years later, at this time two years later.
"Ye Qing, the daughter of Lan Ye, swears in front of her mother that in this life, I will never deceive the people in front of me. If I violate it, I will die under a thousand arrows." Ye Qing gently repeated what she said at that time, Not a single word is wrong.
"If I tell you that I didn't lie to you, brother." Ye Qing vaguely called out the single-syllable word with a faint smile: "Are you willing to believe me?"
Ge Sheng was silent, then nodded.
"Then let's tell a story, brother." Ye Qing poured himself a glass of amber fruit wine, shook it gently, and then pushed it to Ge Sheng: "A story about me at that time by the lake."
"At the beginning of this three trials, I only had one method, and that method came from the "Yueyi Notes" about the principle of all things."
"This is the most reliable and foolproof method. There are only a handful of people in the world who have read "Yue Yi Notes", and it can achieve predictable results."
Ye Qing also poured himself a glass of fruit wine and gently moistened his cherry-colored lips: "But you can't, because I don't know how many people in the world can do this, but I know you can definitely do it."
"So one after another, I thought of three other methods as backup." Ye Qing looked at his brother opposite: "I think you did the same thing."
Ge Sheng nodded silently. The reason why he waited was not only to wait for Ye Qing to leave first, but also to prepare backup methods.
"But while waiting like this, we wasted each other's opportunities." Ye Qing shook his head and smiled: "When you came here, I had already guessed that this was probably the only method left for you, and I side."
Ye Qing gently stretched out two fingers: "I have two more."
"So when you asked me whether I could cross the lake, I said I had my own way." Ye Qing bit his cherry-colored lips, leaving clear tooth marks: "I didn't lie to you."
"But because your passing was so dazzling, the result that was closest to a perfect score shocked the whole audience, so that few people remembered that there was a silent student who also crossed the lake after you, almost following you."
"His method is very crude and his score is very low. It's just twenty-five points." Ye Qing said softly, "It's just a weird method of walking step by step on stilts."
Ge Sheng said nothing.
"Yes, this is a crude and useless method." Ye Qing smiled softly: "That's it."
"The fourth method I thought of."
"So I'm not a genius at all." Ye Qing covered his mouth with his hand and smiled a little ugly: "I didn't think about passing so dazzlingly that everyone would remember my name. In fact, I was originally All I want to do is pass smoothly. Whether it’s thirty-two points or twenty-five points, I don’t value it that much.”
"I just want to pass."
"But no one gave me this chance." Ye Qing concluded.
"If the only thing I had at that time was probably momentum." Ye Qing said softly: "This kind of ethereal thing, just like me, the youngest student entering the school and the ninth perfect score, originally could not What does it mean? Even brother, you are actually only half a year older than me. If you think about it, you will get a perfect score of thirty-two. But even with this slight difference, everyone's attention and expectations for me will be far greater than Brother you."
"This is momentum."
"At that time, I was the first person to finish the second trial, and I even beat the second place by more than an hour. So as long as I sit there and don't move, there will be no one else." Ye Qing smiled: " I dare to think that this three trials will end like this."
"But after you crossed the lake, my backup method was used, and Mo Xiaojing also passed by, leaving me alone." Ye Qing gently stirred the soup with honey. Porridge: "Perhaps even you, brother, think that I just want to be the last one to get the limelight, because many times I really like to be a funny and eye-catching fool."
"But actually." Ye Qing lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, then raised his head and smiled: "For a long time, I was just in a daze."
"Actually, at that time, I really thought that I was finished." Ye Qing recalled the girl sitting on the statue in despair at that time, and smiled softly: "Staying there alone, watching the sun go down little by little. , I kept saying to myself, you have no hope."
"At that time, I would also feel a slight hatred. I hated myself for being so weak and kind." Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng opposite and smiled: "I hated myself for letting you pass first. I knew it, I could have done it early tomorrow. It’s passed!”
"That perfect score of thirty-one or even thirty-two points." Ye Qing's water-blue eyes were as quiet as a lake. She said such dark and cold thoughts, but she didn't want to hide anything from the person in front of her: "Originally, it should be me That's right, why do I have to wait here little by little to die, and little by little to be laughed at? Look at that arrogant guy, he turns out to be so useless, he only pretends to be good, and turns out to be a waste who knows nothing."
"Thinking about this, I don't want to move less and less, and my body feels colder and colder." Ye Qing recalled what happened just now, as if a long time had passed: "I almost couldn't hold on anymore, I was so I want to jump down and run away without looking back, but don’t want to face the final outcome of being eliminated coldly.”
"Abstaining and being eliminated are different after all, right?" Ye Qing looked at Ge Sheng: "I was thinking this way at that time."
"After all, I am not a genius who can create miracles on my own. I am just a stupid kid who is a little smart and diligent enough."
"A genius should never be someone like me." Ye Qing said with a smile.
