"Dongfang Han, where have you been all morning?"
Seeing Dongfang Han walking back from a distance, Zhuo Lin, who had been worried about her, immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand and asked.
She knew how worried she was, fearing that she would disappear from her eyes again.
"Take a nap."
"What?" Zhuo Lin thought he had misheard, "What were you talking about just now."
"I didn't sleep well last night, so I slept in a place where no one was disturbed."
Seeing Dongfang Han's words, his expression was calm and there was no flaw in Zhuo Lin's heart. As a result, Zhuo Lin's suspicion was reduced a bit, and then slowly let go of his hand: "What are you going to do in the future? First tell us, lest we worry about it. ."
Dongfang Han was taken aback, did not look at his sincere gaze, and replied in a low voice.
At this time, Xia Rongrong ran from a distance and saw Dongfang Han standing next to Zhuo Lin, and smiled in relief: "Dongfang unexpectedly returned, then let's go."
"What are you going to do?" These words made Dongfang Han confused.
"Zhang Han said he wanted to take a group photo of us. It's okay, let's go." After Xia Rongrong finished speaking, she immediately took Dongfang Han's hand and ran towards the playground, and Zhuo Lin behind him followed suit. .
When they arrived at the playground, they saw Zhang Han and several people holding gold medals shining in the sun in their hands, showing off to Dongfang Han.
"How about Dongfang, I won first place in the race this time."
"Go to your first place." Lan Wei on the side patted Zhang Han's head with a palm, "If it weren't for me, could you take the first place. The guy who dragged us back."
"Hey! Don't go too far. I ran the first place anyway. Do you have to harm me like this in front of Dongfang." Zhang Han retorted unwillingly, covering his head.
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel." Yi Changfeng, who stood behind, walked up to separate the two of them, and smiled like a peacemaker: "I am so happy today, don't affect your mood because of a little thing, you tell me Go east."
After Yi Changfeng blinked at himself, Dongfang Han was taken aback, then nodded in response.
At this time, Li Na also called Gao Yuan and Xu Wangying up, and the members of the Ace class finally arrived.
Zhang Han took the camera taken out of the dormitory, and then ran forward and grabbed a passing student, "Excuse me, can you help us take a picture." He smiled brightly at the girl in front of him. , Zhang Han was originally a handsome and handsome boy, and he was naturally very lethal when he laughed.
The girl nodded as if bewitched and took the camera in his hand, quite cooperative.
"Thank you." Zhang Han turned around and ran back to let Dongfang Han and the others stand.
Maybe it’s been a long time since I took a picture. Dongfang Han and Xu Wangying were obviously stiff and their expressions were slightly unnatural.
"Don't be so serious! I don't know that we will never have the opportunity to take pictures together like we do now. Teacher Xu, you should be happy." Gao Yuan's words made Xu Wangying stunned.
He looked back at Dongfang Han and the students standing next to him, how long he could look at such a smile, thinking of this, Xu Wangying felt inexplicable.
At this time, Zhuo Lin, who was standing next to Dongfang Han, naturally found that Dongfang Han’s expression was unnatural. He stretched out his hand to hold her slightly cool little hand when no one saw it. This move made Dongfang Han startled. .
Looking back at him, Zhuo Lin gave her a relieved look, "Don't think about anything now, everyone is by your side."
Slightly startled. Dongfang Han couldn't help but curled the corners of his cold lips, and the tension seemed to disappear.
"Then I want to shoot."
The girl standing not far away picked up the camera in her hand and shouted.
After seeing Zhang Han posing OK, after the fourteen people were ready, she pressed the shutter button with a "click" and the flash fired, which permanently fixed the time of the fourteen people...
*
Dongfang Han was lying on the ground tossing and couldn't sleep. She turned her head and looked at the clock on the table. She couldn't help but got up and sat up. He picked up the phone next to him and called Schmidt's office.
At the same time in the Federation.
The phone on the desk in the quiet office kept ringing, and the sharp sound of "jingle bell, jingle bell" echoed in the dimly lit room, which was particularly harsh.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable! Please call again later..." "Di—" Dongfang Han hung up, threw the phone aside, and lay back on the bed.
Looking up at the ceiling, the night was extremely quiet, making people feel inexplicably upset and depressed.
No, I still can't sleep!
Thinking about it, she suddenly got up again, got out of bed, put on her coat, opened the door and went out for a walk.
When she just passed the room in front of the stairway, she vaguely heard something, stopped slowly, turned her head and looked into the room where the door was not closed and the light was still on.
I saw Zhang Han and Si Kongnan sitting together, talking about something.
"It's about time again, and I don't know what to write to my parents."
"It's still the same." Sikong gave him a white look. "Anyway, it's just a process, and we haven't been alive for so many years."
Hearing this, the Dongfang Han outside was startled.
"But it's different now." Zhang Han didn't agree with Sikong Nan's words.
"As the tasks we have taken over in recent years have become more and more difficult and more dangerous, and we have experienced something that almost killed my life. I don't know how long I can live, although from the day I became a magician, right Life and death have been awakened, but to be honest, I am still quite afraid of death."
"You can't blame you." Sikongnan doesn't despise Zhang Han this time. He put his hands on the back of his head and leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully, "You are right, we are magicians. It’s hard to escape death. But as the saying goes, people should die of Mount Tai, not lighter than a feather. We do all this to make our parents live well, and children who don’t want their parents to live. There is no worries about food and clothes. This time the suicide note must be written carefully, maybe..." Sikong Nan laughed, and did not continue.
"By the way! Don't tell Dongfang about this, lest she have to think about it again." He immediately warned the talkative Zhang Han.
"I know." Zhang Han curled his lips, seemingly disapproving, but didn't say anything.
But the words of the two were still clearly heard by Dongfang Han who was standing outside the door.
She retreated slowly and left there.
After walking out of the dormitory, Dongfang Han turned and sat on the steps below, looking up at the sky.
She has always known that the Federation will have a rule that requires everyone, whether it is a magician or a staff member, to write a suicide note every year to keep them in reserve, but this rule is except for those who have no family.
At this time, footsteps came from behind, and Dongfang Han looked back and found that it was Xu Wangying.
He walked up and turned and sat next to her, and said: "What they said, don't take it to heart."
Dongfang Han was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
After the two sat together in silence for a while, she spoke.
"In fact, I understand in my heart that if I don't come to the Ace class, Teacher Gao Yuan and the others will not experience such dangerous things, even if you can say that they are like us, there is no risk in doing the task."
"Life and death have their own lives. We do this like a gambling game. Public opinion is reasonable and there is no complaint." Xu Wangying said.
"I'm thinking," Dongfang Han raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said softly, "If I can live as I want, won't I get this far?"
Xu Wangying was startled.
"You are right, I am not a saint, but an ordinary person. I have seven passions, I have ambition, and I have greed. Without these, I would not let Iger kill my heart."
"Do you regret it?" Xu Wangying asked her lightly.
"Regret it?" The tone rose slightly. "Actually, I don't know the answer. I only know that I am having a hard time and I am depressed. Many things are extravagant to me. Eagle, if, I say If I could have opened my mouth and let you take me away back then, maybe this is not the result now. I will not meet Zhang Zichu, will not give Jiang Junxi a chance to fall in love with me, and will not let Zhuolin have thoughts and hopes for me. It’s just Dongfang Han, an orphan in a melee, a small humble soldier, just... an ordinary person who wants to live as he pleases."
Shocked! Xu Wangying did not expect Dongfang Han to say that. At this moment, she seemed to take off the hard shell of her body, acting like a helpless child lost on the road.
In fact, both he and Dongfang Han understood that some things could no longer be changed. After a long life of slaughter, those so-called prosperous and wealthy lives and powers are no better than ordinary and ordinary lives. At least let them go, they can live a little easier.
"If you want to go now, I can take you away." Xu Wangying looked at her seriously, without any intention of joking. This is what he has always wanted to do. If Dongfang Han can survive in this way, no matter how bad it is, at least it is better than death. As a result, there is really nothing left, nothing left.
"Do you think I would do this?"
Xu Wangying was taken aback!
Dongfang Han looked back and glanced at him lightly, "I will not be a deserter. I have fled for so long. It is time to face him again."
"Re?"
Xu Wangying suddenly couldn't understand what she was talking about.
"Ah..." Dongfang Han raised his head, his eyes flashed with determination, and he whispered softly, "Before this, do something to make yourself feel better."
Because the time she has left is running out.
