He knelt down on one knee and looked at her with deep eyes. At some point, there was a bouquet of red roses exuding a faint fragrance in his hand.
"Qianlin, I'm sorry. This day may have come too late, or it may have come too abruptly. You are right, my unilateral liking may be unacceptable to you, but I hope to make you feel My sincerity."
"From the day I met you, my heart has been entangled. At the beginning, I always regarded you as her in my heart. In my heart, her figure is so deeply imprinted. I have a lot For a long time, when I saw you, I always felt that you were her. At that time, I told myself that this is wrong and unfair to you. I can’t try to make you do it just because you look exactly like her Her substitute. So, I try to alienate you, distance myself from you, and keep telling myself in my heart that you are not her!"
"However, there are some things that cannot be suppressed, just like your appearance, which caused waves in my already dead heart lake to appear again. I saw your tenderness, saw your strength, and felt your kindness to me. I I found that in my heart, her shadow is still deep, but your shadow is also deepening."
"I am very reluctant to admit this, because I always feel that this is a betrayal of her. This is not dedicated to love. Therefore, I am very painful, and I have never been able to accept my heart."
"One must always look forward when one is alive. This sentence is very simple to say, but it is very, very difficult to really want to do it. I often tell myself that Hera is irreplaceable. I will never fall in love with someone again. However, I found that this is also very difficult."
"Even I am not sure when I fell in love with Zhou Qianlin and stopped treating her as Hera. However, I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that you are Zhou Qianlin, not Hera. In my heart Is no longer."
"I gradually came out, Hera is gone, my love for her will not decrease. But I believe that I will have more love to give to my lover. I know, I have hurt you many times, Many times, so, I don't ask you to accept me. I just hope that you can give me a chance, and I also hope that I can tell you that from now on, you are Zhou Qianlin in my heart, the girl I like and love .”
"My mouth is a bit stupid. I don't know what to say now to move you the most. But I can assure you that at least I won't hurt you again in the future. I will take good care of you."
"You asked me to go to the academy to be your bodyguard. I was very reluctant at the time, because I thought that would make me lose my freedom. But now, I feel that this is the opportunity you gave me, and it was also given to me by God. Opportunity. If you are willing, I hope to extend the period of our bodyguards to a lifetime. I am willing to be your bodyguard forever, guarding you, caring for you, and loving you."
While talking, he delivered the flowers in his hand to Zhou Qianlin. He looked at her sincerely.
Zhou Qianlin stared at him blankly, tears could not help but flow down her cheeks. Her whole body was trembling slightly.
Suddenly, she gently pushed away the flowers in front of her, shook her head vigorously, and let the tears splash, "No, I can't accept it. At least not now."
Lan Jue was stunned, he never expected that Zhou Qianlin would not even give him a chance to pursue her. This was completely beyond her expectations.
"Don't cry, Qianlin, don't cry. It's okay, I can wait." Lan Jue took back the flowers, stood up, and embraced her in his arms.
Zhou Qianlin's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Jue, I can't promise you now. I can't tell you why now. After this competition is over, when we return to Tianxing , let me show you something. If you are still willing to accept me at that time, shall we talk about this again?"
After saying this, she broke free from Lan Jue's embrace, stood up, and ran out quickly.
Holding the bouquet in hand, standing where he was, Lan Jue suddenly felt a little lonely. He sat down again, drank the dijin in his cup first, and then drank the rest in Zhou Qianlin's cup.
The taste was still sweet, but his heart was suddenly indescribably bitter.
Gently set the flowers aside and re-cork the drop gin bottle. This bottle of wine, at least now he doesn't want to drink any more.
Outside the window, the lights are feasting and the feasting is full of the prosperity of Los Angeles. But at this moment, his heart is full of loneliness.
When Lan Jue returned to the room, the room was dark, and Zhou Qianlin was lying on the bed, as if she had fallen asleep.
Lan Jue didn't bother her, and lay down on the sofa silently. He suddenly found that his heart hurt a little. This pain was not an old wound from the past, but a new one. This feeling has not passed for a long time. But it is so clear.
They didn't practice that night, and they were the only ones who didn't practice one day after they came here.
In the early morning, when Lan Jue woke up from his sleep, he subconsciously looked towards the window. Zhou Qianlin, who was only wearing a pajamas, was standing there, looking out the window. And he didn't know when there was an extra quilt.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Jue calmed down his mind, wrapped himself in pajamas and stood up.
Hearing the movement behind her, Zhou Qianlin turned around. She seemed to have recovered, and smiled slightly at Lanjue, "You're awake. I ordered breakfast, and it will be delivered later."
"Yeah." Lan Jue nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go wash up first."
"Yes!" Zhou Qianlin agreed, with a charming smile on her pretty face.
Lan Jue walked quickly to the bathroom, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be trying to avoid her smile.
Looking at his back, an indescribable pain flashed in Zhou Qianlin's eyes, she bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, and thought secretly in her heart: Do you know that the pain in my heart is much greater than you don't know? But I can't tell you now, because telling you now will affect your mood and affect your game. When I get back, I will definitely tell you everything. I don't want the relationship between us to have even the slightest blemish. I don't want you to regret it in the future.
Everything seemed to be back to normal. The two happily ate breakfast and began to practice happily. It is still a fusion practice, but Zhou Qianlin can feel that Lan Jue's kiss has become much more polite.
The semi-finals are about to start, and the huge city of Los Angeles has become a little crowded now. Almost all TV stations in the human world are broadcasting various matters related to this competition.
Lan Jue didn't see the pharmacist all day, but when she saw Jun'er, she was with the gourmet. Obviously, because the pharmacist didn't want to disturb his cultivation, he entrusted his daughter to the gourmet temporarily.
The next day, the day of the semi-finals finally arrived.
For the sake of fairness in the competition, today's semi-finals still have to draw lots again, and the candidates for the absolute two-two confrontation.
When Lan Jue came to the waiting area, he clearly felt that the place was deserted. is not that right? Entering the top four, there are only four people who can come here.
The alchemist, Xuanyuan Shishi, and Jun Yongye had all arrived before him.
Seeing him, the alchemist smiled slightly and nodded to him.
Jun Yongye and Xuanyuan Shisai also nodded to him.
After Lan Jue returned the salute, he sat down on the chair. For him, the ranking in the next competition was no longer important. The important thing was to be able to find more things he wanted in the competition.
Such an opportunity can be said to be once in a thousand years. After a day of adjustments, he has suppressed the emotional instability caused by the relationship between himself and Zhou Qianlin. After all, he is not the same as before. The growth of age and the tempering in the past have made him much more mature than before.
Love is an eternal topic. However, love cannot be everything for anyone.
Lan Jue smiled at the pharmacist beside him: "Sister, if I draw you today, don't show mercy. You must go all out and let me feel the strength of your sword-killing fairy."
The alchemist smiled and said, "But I don't want to meet you."
Lan Jue said with a smile: "It depends on luck. It would be perfect if we met in the final. I will admit defeat at that time. Anyway, we can also compete when we go back."
The pharmacist gave him a meaningful look, but didn't speak again.
On the rostrum, everything was the same as usual, there seemed to be no difference, and the Terminator still sat there with a calm face, like a mountain. However, there is one more person beside him today.
With a veil on his face and a long white dress, judging from his appearance and figure, he looks like he is in his thirties. However, in the Northern League, there is undoubtedly only one person who can sit with the Terminator and have the same status. Master of time and space!
The Master of Time and Space sat between the Terminator and the Gourmet. She looked very silent, just sitting there quietly.
On the other side of the Terminator was Mo Xiao, who was in charge of commentating for the semi-finals and finals.
"Hi everyone, I'm Mo Xiao." As the time approached, Mo Xiao's voice sounded.
"Presumably everyone is looking forward to today's game. After the previous competition, we finally decided the final four. Regardless of the results of the next game, at least these four will get an S-level energy gem. The champion will also receive a grand prize.”
"The top four are, respectively, the first group, God King Zeus, the second group, Sword Slayer Fairy Alchemist, the third group, White-clothed Sword Sect Monarch Yong Ye, and the fourth group, Wan Jian Gui Yi Xuan Yuan Die. "
