After listening to Zhao Lan's description, Zhang Yan finally understood why she did those things.
It turned out to be because of that man!
He took a deep breath and said, "Look, Zhao Lan, some things are not what you want deep down in your heart. You are just being manipulated by that man."
But there was one thing he didn't quite understand. The man gave Zhao Lan a kind heart, so why did Zhao Lan behave in a way that was kind without any bottom line?
Zhao Lan's tone was filled with despair: "So all of this was written. Is there any possibility for me to change it?"
She is indeed a puppet who is programmed to only carry out "good" tasks. What is the meaning of such a life?
No, she couldn't even be called a human.
Zhang Yan said sternly, "Everything depends on human effort. Didn't we agree to rewrite the ending together?"
Zhao Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's just a moth flying into a flame."
Zhang Yan felt that his mentality had always been very stable. Even so, he felt very tired after counseling two people who had no fighting spirit in succession today.
Even he wanted to throw the jar into the ground.
But he can't.
He had promised Meng Meng and couldn't go back on his word.
But he didn't know how to comfort Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan already had a sense of self-loathing, and after learning the truth, she was devastated by this incident.
Zhang Yan scratched his hair in frustration, unable to think of any other solution. His head banged against the car door repeatedly, making a loud bang.
Seeing this from a distance, Sister Fang immediately rushed over nervously: "What are you doing?"
Why is this person behaving so strangely?
Although she was far away, she could sense that something was not right between the two of them.
Not only did Zhang Yan suddenly pull his own hair, he also banged his head against the car. Could he be attacking him suddenly?
Zhang Yan didn't say anything.
Sister Fang became even more alert and whispered to Zhao Lan, "Captain Zhao, I think there's something fishy about Zhang Yan. Why don't we leave first? Who knows if he might suddenly attack."
Although she lowered her voice, the distance between the three of them was not far, and these words were clearly heard by Zhang Yan.
"Look, Zhao Lan, there are still people in this world who truly care about you. Do you really want to accept your fate?" Zhang Yan said.
Zhao Lan glanced at Sister Fang, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes.
Sister Fang was puzzled. "What's the point of accepting my fate? I just know that wherever Captain Zhao goes, I go."
Zhao Lan shook her head: "Sister Fang, I'm not as good as you think."
Fang Jie said, "I wish you weren't so kind sometimes." She pondered, "If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be alive today. But I want to tell you, don't always try to help everyone. Some people are beasts in human skin. They don't deserve your help. I hope you'll love yourself a little more."
She said this sincerely, and she hoped for the best for Zhao Lan from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Lan was stunned and repeated unconsciously: "Love yourself more..."
Sister Fang held her hand, her tone gentle but firm: "Yes, learn to love yourself. You are not a savior. Don't just think about others and ignore your true feelings."
Zhao Lan was silent.
She knew Sister Fang was right, but...
“…I can’t seem to do that.”
Zhao Lan's voice was very soft, as if she was muttering to herself.
Everything about her was predetermined, and she had no power to change it.
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it right now," Zhang Yan encouraged. "We can try with you. But don't be unwilling to even try, okay?"
Zhao Lan looked at him absentmindedly: "Can it really change?"
Zhang Yan smiled: "We have to give it a try, don't we?"
Sister Fang also said with determination: "As long as you are willing to try, I will always be with you."
After a long while, Zhao Lan finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try."
…
Meng Qingyin's side hadn't been able to see the NPC team for several days, and everyone was a little anxious.
Fei Qiu speculated: "Could it be that they have stopped farming the tower? Otherwise, why haven't I seen them for several days?"
Lu Cheng sighed, "Alas, there was no announcement about them clearing the tower. Otherwise, we could have inferred their whereabouts based on the announcement. Now we're like headless flies."
Qin Jiu was also a little worried: "That's right, I have no clue at all."
She glanced at Meng Qingyin, then at Chen Leying, "What do you two think?"
Chen Leying said calmly, "Since we can't guard it during the day, let's try at night."
Meng Qingyin nodded. "That's what I thought. We've been guarding for several days straight and haven't found anything. There's only one possibility: they're farming the tower at night."
Lu Cheng: "Then let's try again tonight?"
Meng Qingyin: "Well, if there's still no harvest tonight, then the method of sitting back and waiting won't work. There's no need to continue tomorrow."
Everyone quickly discussed the tower defense plan for tonight.
To be on the safe side, everyone worked in pairs.
Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying were in one group, Qin Jiu and Tang Mian were in one group, Lu Cheng and Fei Qiu were in one group, and the spirited old man was left alone.
Lu Cheng was quite dissatisfied with this grouping: "I request to change groups!"
Fei Qiu rolled his eyes: "You are too disrespectful."
I knew Lu Cheng valued women over friends, but I didn’t expect him to change his partner in public!
Fei Qiu felt that his heart was broken by his brother.
Lu Cheng was speechless. "What I mean is, I'm in a group with you, and you can be in a group by yourself."
Fei Qiu stared at him: "Have you ever considered my position in the team?"
Lu Cheng felt uneasy when he was stared at by him, and suddenly remembered that Fei Qiu was a support. If they really guarded the NPC team and the two sides started fighting, Fei Qiu... would have no fighting power at all.
He indeed overlooked this point.
"By the way, where's Zhao Lan?" Lu Cheng suddenly thought of Zhao Lan. "Hasn't she been taking turns guarding the tower with you guys these past few days? Why didn't I see her today?"
If Zhao Lan were here, wouldn't no one be left alone?
Fei Qiu shook his head: "I don't know either."
As they were talking, Zhao Lan arrived.
Zhang Yan also came here at the same time as Zhao Lan.
As soon as Zhang Yan arrived, he said seriously, "I have very important information to share with Meng Meng."
It’s better not to involve more people in this matter.
Lu Cheng was unhappy when he heard this: "Share it with Meng Meng? What? We don't deserve to hear it?"
Zhang Yan didn't have time to argue with him at the moment. If Meng Qingyin's words at that time hadn't convinced him, he wouldn't even involve her.
Now, he still doesn't want more people to be involved.
Meng Qingyin said, "Zhang Yan, they are also your friends. No one has been left out of this matter since the beginning."
Everyone will help Zhang Yan without hesitation.
Zhang Yan was stunned: "You all know?"
Lu Cheng: "I knew it a long time ago."
Zhang Yan didn't say anything else, and everyone came to Meng Qingyin's train.
