"You must be very sad, right?" said a male guide who was talking to Lin Yuan. "It's so pitiful."
He held his eyes with a fine handkerchief and wiped away his sympathetic tears gracefully. “I can’t imagine what I would do if this happened to me.”
This is the fifth one today.
The fifth person who ran up to Lin Yuan at the dinner and said this.
Lin Yuan found that he didn't even remember the guide's name. It was possible that he was a classmate who went to school with him at the Guide Academy in Baita.
Lin Yuan really wanted to seriously ask this classmate what it felt like to be sad and upset.
But she knew it was inappropriate to say that.
She is a guide who suffers from emotional deficiency disorder. Her memory is not very good. It has been a long time since she has experienced the so-called sadness, anger, sorrow, happiness, etc. which are normal human emotions.
Others won’t understand.
The only thing she could do was to disguise herself as much as possible and try to respond correctly when she should show certain emotions.
So Lin Yuan nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's really sad."
Finally, the guide left with satisfaction, allowing Lin Yuan to return to peace and continue to daydream while sitting by the windowsill.
The tentacles seemed very excited in the new place, lurking in the deserted corners and exploring everywhere. Lin Yuan could hear their tiny whispers constantly in his mind.
Lin Yuan listened to those words that sounded like a dream, gazing out at the water lilies in the artificial lake. The purple flowers of varying shades were slowly closing their petals in the night.
Jiang Yangshuo saw Lin Yuan sitting by the lake. His friends pointed him out.
"Look, your ex-fiancée." My friend deliberately dragged out the ending sound of the word "ex" with a teasing and sarcastic tone.
"Look at what she's wearing. Like a guide?"
"I said Yang Shuo should have broken up with her long ago. What are the Jiang family's conditions? It's not hard to find a guide with a high matching degree. Why should we compromise ourselves to accommodate a boring guy?"
These people had made jokes about Lin Yuan like this before, and Jiang Yangshuo didn't think it was a big deal. Lin Yuan was indeed a weird guide and not very likable.
Now that my relationship with Lin Yuan is over, for some reason these words sound a little harsh.
His ex-fiancée was sitting by the window near the lake, wearing a black dress that was too cool, without any jewelry, and had a porcelain-white face with only a little red on her lips.
Her chin was supported by her wrist, which was as white as fine porcelain, and she was staring blankly at the lake view outside the window.
It really didn't look like a guide's attire. She always did things her own way, and could only barely maintain some basic etiquette.
But in fact, there is a very strange beauty, Jiang Yangshuo admitted in his heart. It is very eye-catching, making people want to look at her.
Jiang Yangshuo was a high-ranking sentinel with excellent eyesight. With just a quick glance, he noticed that in the banquet hall, several sentinels seemed to have their eyes on Lin Yuan, with a look of eagerness to try.
Lin Yuan was very beautiful. He knew this when he first saw her when he was still a teenager.
At that time, his father took him to a banquet and pointed to a little girl who was sitting on the terrace in a daze.
"Go and give it a try. That child's mental strength is very strong. If the match is high, she will be your fiancée."
The little girl, in a formal white dress, with her head tilted, sat alone in a daze beside a sea of flowers.
The sunlight blurred her outline, making her look as beautiful as an elf, and even the fragrance of the flowers became mysterious because of her.
The young Jiang Yangshuo's heart began to beat violently at that moment.
The matching degree they tested was very high, up to 70%, which is a rare high match in today's environment.
Jiang Yangshuo's father was very happy. He himself was also very happy.
I heard that her father and mother have passed away. It doesn't matter, I will take good care of her in the future.
The young boy thought so with a red face.
I just don't know why. As time goes by, the two of them have come to this point.
Jiang Yangshuo pushed aside his laughing friends and walked towards Lin Yuan.
"I heard that you applied to the Special Research Department?" He called the waiter, took a glass of juice, and replaced the wine glass in Lin Yuan's hand.
Lin Yuan's hands were suddenly empty; the low-alcohol drink was taken away and a glass of juice was given to him.
She looked up and saw the man in front of her.
The only sentinel she had known in all these years, the one she had once called her fiancé.
Standing by the lake filled with the fragrance of flowers, Lin Yuan recalled that this person once held her hand and said many nice things to her.
He promised to stay with her for a long time and wait patiently for her to recover and become a normal person.
He also said that he would never let her have the nightmares of her childhood again, and would never let her be alone again. He said that the two of them would hold hands, support each other, and walk a long, long way.
Lin Yuan almost believed it.
Just like everyone said, they are not suitable and it will end.
So their pairing relationship is over, isn't it
Lin Yuan uttered a confused "ah" before he could say anything.
At this time, the tentacles crawled to somewhere unknown and sent some strange information, which distracted her.
"Oh yes, well, I applied for a new job." Lin Yuan answered while sorting out the information.
Jiang Yangshuo frowned.
The sentry was very tall, and the light elongated his shadow, covering the tiny guide in front of him.
He leaned one hand against the wall and looked down at Lin Yuan who was sitting in the shadows.
Lin Yuan's eyes were very bright in the darkness, as if dotted with tiny stars.
But those beautiful eyes were not focused on him at all.
There was a hint of excitement in his bright eyes, but he was thinking about other things.
She was thinking about her own things again. She would never act like a normal guide with only her eyes on her sentinels.
This is the thing Jiang Yangshuo dislikes most about Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was always absent-minded, not very interested in anything a guide should be concerned about, and even didn't put her fiancé in the most important position.
Thinking of their broken relationship, Jiang Yangshuo suppressed the irritation in his heart.
"Even if we are done, you don't have to do this." Jiang Yangshuo frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lin Yuan, you don't have to deliberately torture yourself. Those polluted areas on the border are not a place a guide can adapt to."
"No, it's not because of you." Lin Yuan wanted to explain seriously.
[It feels furry, I think I've touched it before.] The sound of a tentacle suddenly coming back distracted her from her thoughts.
"What is furry?" Lin Yuan blurted out accidentally.
Jiang Yangshuo's brows were completely locked.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean you." Lin Yuan apologized to him, "I meant that going to the border for research has always been a job I wanted to do, not because of you."
Jiang Yangshuo frowned and said, "If you can't stand those rumors, there's no need to do that."
"Although we are no longer related, if someone dares to bully you, you can still come to me."
[It has no emotions, it's not alive. But it feels warm to the touch.] Another tentacle sound came.
It wasn't alive, but it felt warm. So strange, what could it be? Lin Yuan's thoughts were distracted again.
[It's a little familiar, but it's not furry.]
[It's very soft, nice to touch, and elastic. I want to touch it for a while longer.]
[It's smooth, has thin skin, and has protruding bones.]
One after another, the voices kept ringing in my head.
Emotionless, warm, fuzzy, stretchy, smooth...
What on earth did they find in a place like a ventilation duct
[Did you hear the sound it made?]
[Nonsense, how can a dead thing make a sound? ]
[I heard it, I heard it too, it's a very cute voice, like she's acting coquettish.]
It may like us
[Really? Let me touch it too. ]
[I also want.]
[I also want.]
[Really, it feels good to touch. It brings a comfortable feeling]
I think it feels sweet.
[Sweet? I like sweet things.]
[Make way, I want to touch you for a while longer. ]
A noisy sound arose,
Lin Yuan's attention was completely attracted, and she didn't hear clearly the words that her ex-fiancé standing in front of her said to her, which he thought were sincere and heartfelt.
