Although Alvin struggled to advance, Laiwu stopped in the top 32. After a few people got together, Laiwu generously said that he wanted to celebrate Alvin, but Alvin refused. Alvin didn't want so many people to happily excite Laiwu, and besides, he had drank enough in the past few days. Chen Zhu and Kaiba naturally understood what Alvin meant.
So that night, Laiwu, Chenzhu, and Kaiba went back to Saliuxi City to fool around. Alvin tweeted that he had a game to prepare for tomorrow, so he didn't go with him. Xia Ye's money bag could not support this kind of consumption. After saying goodbye to Alvin very wisely, he returned to Shefford College.
Alvin was the only one left in the huge tent. He was lying on the bed alone, flipping through the two books "The Laws of Space and Time" and "On the Ultimate Damage of Magic" back and forth out of boredom, unable to read them.
While applying the trauma medicine that Laiwu left for him, he murmured: "In an extremely unstable situation, there is a rift between time and space... There is a rift? An extremely unstable situation. ...What's that going on?"
After repeatedly thinking to no avail, Alvin didn't bother to think about whether he had misunderstood the meaning of Chapter 3. Because his self-doubt has lasted from the evening until now, and he still has no answer after reading it countless times. At first he suspected that he had understood it wrong, and then doubted whether he should suspect that he had understood it wrong. After countless self-contradictions, he decided to give up tonight.
Alvin hid the two books in the sheepskin satchel he always carried, then hid the satchel under the bed, and then decided to go to the night market to free up his chaotic brain.
In the past few days, he had either stayed up late in the pub or was lying on the hospital bed. He had not been to the night market yet. There are wooden poles several meters high on both sides of the large and small boardwalks in the market. A thin bronze pole is driven near the top of the wooden pole. Various magic gas lamps are tied to the bronze pole with iron chains. . The gas lamps swayed with the strong winter wind from time to time, and the iron chains also made a series of "chirping" sounds. The coldness in the bright lights was dissipated unconsciously. The top of the wooden pole also pulled strips of colorful flags from top to bottom, adding a bit of joy to the bustling market.
A little girl who was probably just entering school happily took a candy bar from the hand of the shopkeeper of the candy shop. After unwrapping the candy wrapper, the colorful whirlpool started spinning faster and faster. The little girl was stunned. Then a phoenix with its whole body on fire flew out from the colorful room, screamed, and soared into the sky. The little girl quickly looked up at the night sky, and saw that the flames on the phoenix were flying closer and closer to color, but "bang" "It exploded with a sound and turned into seven colorful shooting star fireworks, flying in the sky.
The little girl looked at this scene and clapped her hands happily and laughed, but the pop lollipop in her hand turned into a flame color. She curiously looked at the "flame" spinning in her hand, took a bite, and then chewed it. It felt a little hot to her mouth. After she swallowed it, she immediately burped. With a "roar", a big mouthful of flames burst out from the little girl's mouth. Some people who were coming and going couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. The little girl didn't take it seriously. She held the candy and ran to find her friends with a smile.
Alvin looked at the little girl's retreating figure, and then looked at the bustling crowds in the night market. There were queues at the entrances of snack shops of all sizes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The atmosphere is pretty good."
"Don't follow me..." Alvin caught a familiar voice from not far away among the noise. He felt funny in his heart and sighed that the world is really small. He smiled and shook his head, hiding in the alley next to the fruit wine stall and waiting.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw the delicate figure of a red-haired beauty, who else could it be if it wasn't Lan Yu. She was seen wearing a black slim-fitting long skirt. Except for her chest and calves that were exposed, the rest of her body was completely covered. She was also covered with a gray rabbit velvet cloak. Alvin was complaining in his mind that the girl was dressed a little conservatively tonight and that she would not be able to enjoy it.
Next to Lan Yu was Gafo, "Hey, there seems to be another person following you?" Alvin looked carefully, "Isn't that Baichen Jisugi? How could he be with the Resa brothers and sisters?"
He followed the three of them secretly after they passed by.
Lan Yu stopped and turned around, glaring at the people following behind her. Alvin was so frightened that he thought Lan Yu had discovered him, and hurriedly hid behind a burly passerby. Only then did he realize that Lan Yu was actually glaring at Bai Chen. So he wisely kept a distance from Lan Yu and others, and could hear their conversation.
Seeing Lan Yu's impatient look, Bai Chen's face turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Second brother, you should talk to him." Lan Yu pouted to Gafo next to her.
"Lan Yu." Gafo glared at Lan Yu, "Bai Chen invited us to visit the night market with good intentions. You are so rude."
"Okay, let him accompany you, second brother, I'll go back first." Lan Yu blocked the words angrily.
Gafo groaned in his heart and thought to himself, "This is my father's intention, not mine." He had always been helpless against his wayward sister and looked at Bai Chen in embarrassment.
Bai Chen looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Forget it, Brother Gafu, since I am here and disturbing Miss Lan Yin's interest, I'd better leave first."
Gafo either wanted to keep him or not, and he looked embarrassed. After the first day of the Pillow Sword Club competition, Duke Kasugi went to the Prince's Mansion and had a pleasant chat with Prince Reza. Gafo naturally understood what his father meant. However, even though the prince intended to bring Bai Chen and Lan Yu together, Lan Yu was not moved at all.
"Originally, it was just the two of them who came out today," Gafo thought, but when Lan Yu heard that she was going to be alone with Bai Chen, she refused directly. He had to step in and force Lan Yu to go out. .
After being humiliated repeatedly by Lan Yu, Bai Chen really didn't want to bring trouble to himself anymore and insisted on leaving. Gafu couldn't stop him and had to accompany Bai Chen back.
Bai Chen was originally a very arrogant person. Ever since he was crushed by Lan Yu's strength in the competition a few days ago, he had been "tortured" by this astonishingly powerful young lady from the palace and was completely conquered. He even gave up on his previous arrogant image and begged Duke Kasugi to go to the palace to find out what was going on. After hesitating, Duke Kasugi couldn't resist his son and personally visited the Prince's Mansion. However, what the Duke didn't expect was that Prince Resa didn't object at all and even asked Bai Chen to take more initiative.
Bai Chen was overjoyed after receiving the news from the Duke. Today he thought about asking Miss Lan Yu to go to the market at night, but Lan Yu poured cold water on her on the spot. If Gafo hadn't rescued her in time, she probably wouldn't have even left the house. . After going out, Lan Yu also spoke coldly to Bai Chen, with a frosty look on her face. Bai Chen has always looked down upon others, but today it was the first time that he was disliked by others. Needless to say, he felt humiliated in his heart.
However, before leaving, Bai Chen did not forget to linger and look back at Lan Marriage. He looked at her long flaming hair, graceful figure, and a pair of green eyes with anger and resentment in her little face, which was so charming and harmful to all living beings. Thin anger gives rise to power. Bai Chen didn't dare to look any further and quickly lowered his head. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and his feeling of humiliation and humiliation became more and more intense.
Alvin looked at the scene happening under his nose and probably guessed the whole story. Logically speaking, he should be somewhat proud. After all, Lan Yu never looked at him when she was with him, but now there was an evil fire in his heart.
Lan Yu didn't want to watch Bai Chen leave. Just as she was about to turn her back, a sudden hand wrapped around her waist. Lan Yu looked at the meat claws on her waist in surprise. Before she could react, the meat palms grabbed her in an overbearing embrace. Lan Yu said "yeah" and was roughly pulled into the arms of the owner of the meat palms. .
Alvin didn't look at Lan Marriage either. He straightened his cheeks and looked at Bai Chen and Gafu with an unkind expression. But the strength of his hand did not loosen at all. One hand clasped Lan Yu's soft and boneless waist fiercely, and the other hand held the staff in his sleeve. It felt like he was so bold that he didn't care whether the beauty in his arms would explode or not, and he was electrocuted into charcoal with a few spells.
Lan Yu actually forgot to resist for a moment and allowed this man to lock her waist tightly. She just put her hands in front of her to prevent her cheek from actually being pressed into someone's chest. Of course, even if the face is not touched, there are always some soft places that are touched. The heartbeat of the person in front of her could be heard on her palm, and her cheeks could not help but burn red.
Being shy is not Lan Yu's style, pretending to be calm is. She looked up at someone's face curiously, and blew into Alvin's ear in a funny way: "You little bastard, aren't you thinking about your white-haired fox? Why are you pretending to be here now?"
Alvin snorted and didn't reply to her. He felt the orchid breath next to his ears, and something soft and greasy pressed against his chest. He felt the thirst in his throat was unbearable. He couldn't help but swallow, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat with excitement to breathe in the fresh air.
Bai Chen looked at Alvin's actions and his eyes could burst into flames. The person he had longed for was held in his arms without any scruples by Alvin, which made him feel even more unwilling and humiliated. was Lan Yu's reaction.
Gafo looked at Alvin coldly from beginning to end, without saying a word. In fact, one hand was already on the hilt of Mo Yan's sword.
Lan Yu turned her head and glanced at Bai Chen and Gafu, then looked back at Alvin. Feeling the tense atmosphere, she chuckled, sighed, and stretched out her hand to pull Alvin's head over to look at her.
"You little bastard, let's go. I haven't been to the market here yet." Lan Yu said with a smile, and she gave Alvin a wink, which meant that he would leave as soon as he was ready.
Alvin knew that Lan Yu was worried about him, fearing that he would suffer a loss if he really took action later. He released his hand from Lan Yu's waist and gave Bai Chen a gouging look. Thinking of the first time they met, Lan Yu had seen how murderous Alvin was when he stared at people. She didn't want the little bastard in front of her to get hurt because of her, so she quickly pulled Alvin towards him. Go inside the night market.
Seeing Lan Yu pulling Alvin and running away, Gafo also breathed a sigh of relief and patted Bai Chen on the shoulder beside him. He found that Bai Chen was shaking with anger.
On the other side of the night market, Lan Yu teased Alvin along the way, "What are you doing, little bastard, what are you so angry about?"
"No, why should I be angry?" Alvin said calmly.
"Then why were you hugging me just now?" Lan Yu grabbed Alvin and looked at him with interest.
"Uh... um..." Alvin was speechless for a moment.
"How do you want to quibble this time?" Lan Yu looked at Alvin funny.
"Why are you quibbling? Just give me a hug. The worst I can do is give you a beating. I'm used to it anyway." Alvin said helplessly.
"Humph, you only have this little courage. You know how to steal and take advantage, and you never dare to admit it." Lan Yu said pretending to be hateful.
Alvin felt guilty and did not dare to refute.
"I'm hungry." Lan Yu said angrily and looked around.
Alvin stared at Lan Yu blankly. He originally thought that Lan Yu would scold him a few more times, and even his own skin would suffer again, but he didn't expect that Lan Yu would let him go so lightly.
Lan Yu just pretended that she didn't see Alvin looking at her.
"Where is there so much food? What do you want to eat?" Alvin also looked around, "I don't seem to have had dinner either. I'm a little hungry."
Originally, Alvin planned to eat while walking, but at Lan Yu's insistence, the two had to find a busy tavern to sit down and eat. The tent was full and the two of them had to sit outside the door. Alvin glanced at the makeshift rough wooden tables and chairs, shook his head and sighed. Lan Yu consoled her by saying that it was close to the long street and the atmosphere was good.
Fortunately, the food was served quite quickly, and Alvin was already enjoying his meal. Lan Yu was a little uninterested, eating with chopsticks, and looking at the people passing by on the street in trance from time to time.
"You came here to eat," Alvin complained, "and now you're not satisfied?"
Lan Yu seemed to have not heard Alvin's words, still looking at the colorful night in fascination. For some reason, she remembered the quarrel with her father a few days ago. That day, Lan Yu rushed out of the stands without any scruples and rescued the seriously injured Alvin. After returning home, Prince Reza had a big quarrel with Lan Yu.
"It's impossible for you and that boy from the Fei Lie family. You should give up." Even now, Lan Yu feels a little shuddered when she thinks of her father's tone at that time. She has never seen such a cold expression on her father's face.
"Why?" Lan Yu stared back.
"Not so much why!" Prince Reza shouted. Lan Yu was very frightened at that time.
"Just because Earl Philip will definitely not turn to your father's side, is it impossible for Alvin and I?" Lan Yu roared hysterically.
"You can think so." Prince Reza said angrily.
"Father...how can you be so authoritarian? Don't I even have the right to be with the person I like?" Lan Yu fought back her tears.
"As a father, I have always been too indulgent to you, so that you can even yell at me now." Prince Resa's tone did not soften at all, "Look at yourself now, you are still a little bit royal. Does she look like a lady?"
"Then I won't accept this as the royal lady, that's alright, right?" Lan Yu said bitterly.
"Oh, you said that if you don't want to be a royal lady, you don't deserve it. Then where did your daily life of fine clothes, fine food, and spending a lot of money come from? There is nothing so cheap in this world." Prince Resa said angrily.
When her father said this, Lan Yu's aura immediately softened. She covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from crying, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Okay, don't cry." Prince Reza softened his tone after looking at Lan Yu's pear blossoms with rain, "Actually, besides what you just said, there is a more important reason."
Lan Yu wiped away her tears and looked at her father with wide eyes.
Prince Reza shook his head and said: "I can't tell you now. But you have to remember that there is no relationship between you and him. If you force your father to do it, then he will end up very miserable. .”
When Lan Yu thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, and decided to forget about this for now.
Alvin looked at Lan Yu and couldn't guess what she was thinking. He picked up the small bottle of plum wine and took a sip without saying anything.
"Alvin." Lan Yu called softly, her face still looking out at the street. Alvin rarely heard Lan Yu call him that.
"What's wrong?" Alvin looked at her uneasily.
"When the Pillow Sword Club is over, why don't you come with me to Maine Province?" Lan Yu turned around and looked at Alvin with a smile, "At that time, we will bring a few large boxes of gold, silver and soft goods, and we will go north first. Pass the Tingxiao Empire, then cross the Traledi Mountains, and go to the north. I heard that there is a vast empire in the north. Let’s go there for a few years. Finally, we will go east Going out to the sea, it is said that the love of the Yitini Sea is formed by the tears of lovers separated by yin and yang, one drop after another, life and death are all over the ocean, tsk tsk, listening to it makes people sigh. In that turbulent water and sky, the same color Take an adventure in the sea. When you wake up every day, it’s either the sea or the sky. Do you think that’s okay?”
Alvin was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Alvin's confused look, Lan Yu sighed and said with a smile: "Haha, little bastard, I was joking with you, how about it? Did it scare you?"
Alvin stayed there, taking two sips of plum wine and looking at Lan Yu quietly. Of course he knew that Lan Yu was not joking, but he was just wondering why she suddenly said that.
Lan Yu looked at the solemn-looking Alvin and smiled, "Okay, don't think about it. Just get ready for the game. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Alvin said "hmm" and nodded noncommittally.
After Lan Yu took half a step, she turned around and glanced at Alvin with a smile. Alvin wanted to stand up and say something, but in the end he said nothing. When he looked up again, Lan Yu was already gone.
Alvin looked at Lan Yu's back, recalling Lan Yu's smile just now, which actually had a hint of sadness, and thought in a daze, "I have never seen her like this before. What happened today?"
As Lan Marriage walked, she felt that her eyes were a little cloudy and her throat was clogged. The noise around her made her inner peace more and more exaggerated. "You little bastard, if you can stop me for a while, can you stop me for a lifetime?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh sadly and sighed, "You have to know that there are many things that you and I can't control."
That night, after Alvin returned to his residence, he tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about Lan Yu's smile over and over again, and stayed awake all night.
