Chapter 95
◎Si Lan is gone◎
angry?
It was the first time that Si Lan heard her say that she was angry, and it was towards the people around her.
He suddenly became nervous. Did he do something he shouldn't have done?
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed nothing happened. He was silent for a long time: "Is it because I ate an extra bag of potato chips today?"
"..." Lian Jiu turned his head, not sure whether to be surprised or helpless. "You're out catching people and still have time to eat potato chips?"
It didn't seem like that was the reason, but since it had already exploded, Si Lan didn't hide it anymore: "I wasn't in a good mood at the time, so I ate a little."
He looked down at his stomach and emphasized, "I'm not fat."
Living to eighty is perfectly possible!
Even though he was now immune to his mindless obsession with "body management," Lian Jiu couldn't help but rub his brows helplessly and asked with a smile, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
Si Lan didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lian Jiu looked up and said softly, "Si Lan, if you want to be my neighbor, then I hope that our relationship will grow closer, not further apart."
She asked seriously, "Given your current situation, do you think our relationship is getting closer?"
Why not close?
Although he was not satisfied, Si Lan felt that this was the maximum he could control. He could do his best for her, consider her, and give her everything she wanted.
Isn't this okay?
But when Lian Jiu, the person she always held in her heart, asked such a question, Si Lan felt that she had done something wrong. If she hadn't done anything wrong, why would she feel this way?
Si Lan felt a surge of anger in his heart, a feeling that had been there for a long time, and he couldn't let it out. Now, it was almost suffocating him, making it difficult to breathe. He whispered, "I don't understand."
"Every time I ask you what happened, you always keep your mouth shut," Lian Jiu said. "Just like when you said before that you used your Dharma image to suppress those monsters, if I hadn't asked you, you wouldn't have told me that there were other people involved, and that other things had happened, right?"
Si Lan couldn't deny this. After a long while, he whispered, "That's not important."
"Isn't it important?" Lian Jiu looked behind him. "But you're still called Si Lan, and you wear that red headband every day. Is this what you mean by unimportant?"
Si Lan was speechless.
Lian Jiu smiled and said, "Si Lan, you keep pushing me away."
"So why do you think I'd want you to be my neighbor?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Lian Jiu didn't ask any more questions, but turned back and said, "They must be getting impatient, let's go back."
After returning to the mountains, Jiang An sensitively discovered that Si Lan ate less again today.
I'd had this happen before in Nanyu Mountain. What had happened? Why couldn't I even eat?
Ever since they knew Si Lan had such feelings for Jiujiu, Jiang An and Yuan Qing paid more attention to him.
Especially Si Lan, who had kept this matter in his heart for so many years. He hated him but also sympathized with him. When he saw that he couldn't eat, he subconsciously became worried.
And what was particularly strange today was that Jiujiu seemed to have not noticed his abnormality.
Normally, Jiujiu would be the first to care about Si Lan if there was any special situation, but today he didn't even look at him.
Did you have a fight?
this……
Jiang An, who should have been happy, felt a little unhappy.
Why do you feel that the dog Silan is more pitiful?
She snorted softly, held the meat in front of him, and said viciously, "Eat!"
Si Lan: “…”
Jiang An looked at him suspiciously, moved the stool next to him, and lowered his voice: "You don't want to pretend that you can't eat like before, so that Jiujiu can cook for you, right? Why are you so cunning?"
"Not as much as the water in your brain." Si Lan didn't want to deal with her whimsical ideas.
After finishing my meal, I went back to my room, thinking about what Lian Jiu had said before.
The poor God has reached his current situation and doesn’t know what to do. In the end, he can only find the Dog-Headed Military Advisor again.
After Lin Qi received the call, he immediately asked, "What's going on with those two people?"
"Nothing unusual."
When they caught the people, Si Lan checked and found that there was no demonic aura on these two people.
Lin Qi was puzzled: "But all the animals we sent here are like this, they all have spiritual energy, and the children are missing. Could it be a coincidence?"
Then he asked, "Don't you feel anything?"
"No." Si Lan said in a deep voice, "So I will go back to Fuyu Mountain in a few days."
"That's good, it's safer." Lin Qi asked, "What about the director?"
"I left a divine mark on her."
It sounded like Lin Qi felt that Si Lan had arranged everything, but his tone seemed a little unhappy.
Although this beast is often unhappy, it usually behaves in a state of "I'll kill anyone I want if I'm pulled down by a few hands".
But his current state is more like "I am going to die, how should I die?"
Lin Qi, who was already very experienced, immediately stood up and got a bag of sunflower seeds. He cracked them and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Hearing the crisp sound of cracking melon seeds coming from the other end, Si Lan wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but the person on the other end was the only demon god who could speak to himself.
He said calmly, "She said I was distant from her and that I was pushing her."
Lin Qi could guess who this person was even with a little thought: "Where's the previous story?"
Si Lan was silent for a moment: "There were some things I didn't tell the truth when she asked me."
"What's up?"
"It's the past."
Lin Qi sighed softly, this was a bit difficult.
Not to mention Si Lan, now everyone in the demon world is hiding her identity from the director, which means that some truths must be kept from her.
But one lie always needs to be covered up by the next lie, there is no way to deal with it.
But there has to be a loophole or something for the headmaster to notice. Lin Qi was puzzled: "Did you let something slip?"
It really does exist.
When I heard her say she was angry, I panicked a little and subconsciously brought up unimportant things, saying that I ate too many snacks.
I was used to answering every question she asked, so at that time I just told her that I was in a bad mood.
But I couldn't tell her why I was in a bad mood.
Several demon realms received animals in need of rescue at the same time. These animals were the offspring of animals and demons from many years ago, and they had all lost their own children.
Si Lan couldn't help but suspect that something was going to happen, so he went to capture the two men himself.
Even after so many years, every time he thought of how she disappeared in front of him again and again, he found it difficult to control the resentment in his heart.
So how can I tell her these things?
After learning the whole story, Lin Qi sighed: "Si Lan, if this continues forever, you are doomed to have no results."
"Then there will be no result."
"Not only will there be no results, but you'll always take a step back when facing her," Lin Qi said. "Just like the headmaster said, you'll keep hiding things from her and push her away. There's no way this can be solved."
Lin Qi could understand what Si Lan was thinking. No matter what danger he encountered, big or small, Si Lan would not take the risk of letting the director get hurt in the slightest.
Especially since he always stays by her side, he will become less and less able to control himself and will reveal more and more flaws.
Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "There are two solutions now."
"What?"
"Or, you can confront her and tell her everything. Then you won't have any worries."
None of this can be considered a solution. Si Lan stared at the night light on his desk: "She will live to be eighty years old."
"Then there's the second option." Lin Qi exhaled, "You should go back to Nanyu Mountain."
"Both demon realms are within your control. If you return to Nanyu Mountain, you won't have to see her every day, so she won't find out anything." Lin Qi said, "There are many demon gods over there on Fuyu Mountain. If it doesn't work out, I'll switch with you. You go and I go."
Can't see her.
Si Lan asked, "What about the third one?"
"You still want a third?" Lin Qi didn't know whether to call him naive. "If there really was a third, do you think you'd be as conflicted as you are now? Think about it carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Si Lan sat in front of the window and was stunned for a long time.
Suddenly, he received a WeChat message on his phone. It was from Lian Jiu, who had pinned it to the top of the list: "You already know all the content for today's study. I won't be here for the time being."
Si Lan stared at the two lines of words for a long time, and finally gently placed the phone on the table.
His ears twitched, and he heard her saying goodnight to other teachers and demon gods, heard her going to visit the Red Sand Python family, and heard her passing by his door without stopping.
He no longer brought me a bowl of egg custard like before, and no longer called Si Lan good night when passing by my door.
At this moment, he suddenly realized how much he wanted her gaze to linger.
Qilin is right, the closer you get, the more you lose control.
Even if you have a thousand thoughts in your mind about hiding something, sometimes you just can't suppress your instincts.
Nanyu Mountain...
-
"Fuyu Mountain?" Jiang An was surprised to learn that Si Lan was going back to Fuyu Mountain the next day. "But aren't we still going to Kunlun Mountain?"
Si Lan hummed: "Only for two days."
Yuan Qing was puzzled: "Is there something that requires you to go back in person?"
With Long Ying in charge, as well as Yu Chongming and Pixiu, there should be no problem that cannot be solved.
Si Lan said calmly, "Go back and check the seal."
“!!!”
The two children immediately stood up and said, "Let's go now. Let's go right now. We'll pack your luggage. Do you have any luggage? Oh, that lamp, right? We'll get it for you right away!"
When Lian Jiu came back from inspecting the class in the classroom, he saw Jiang An and Yuan Qing surrounding Si Lan, talking about something, with nervous and worried looks on their faces.
She looked at Si Lan who was surrounded by people. The latter slowly stood up and covered the mouths of the two little demon gods.
Looking at the time, Si Lan didn't go out to work today. Lian Jiu realized: "Is there something you want to say?"
"Um."
Lian Jiu walked out of the office with him and heard Si Lan suddenly say, "I will go back to Fuyu Mountain for two days."
Renjiu nodded.
Not hearing her ask anything else, Si Lan lowered his ears: "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"The monsters captured by several demon realms all lost their children, and they are all about to gain intelligence." Si Lan said, "I was worried that the seal of the demon beasts had been broken. I captured those two people that day to confirm whether they had any connection with the demon realm."
Lian Jiu frowned: "Really?"
"No."
While breathing a sigh of relief, Lian Jiu turned his head and said, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Si Lan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You are an ordinary person."
Lian Jiu was stunned.
"These matters are our responsibility as demon gods, not yours."
Lian Jiu subconsciously denied: "But I am also the chairman now."
"As the chairman, you've done enough." Si Lan said slowly, "We'll handle the rest. Besides, there's nothing unusual about those two people. I'll just go back to confirm it."
These matters cannot be taken lightly, Lian Jiu nodded: "Okay."
After a pause, she asked again: "Then why are you telling me now?"
"I've been thinking about it all night." Si Lan smiled, "I still want to be your neighbor."
It took him so many years to finally have the chance to stand by her side, and he was unwilling and didn't want to be the one who could only watch her from afar.
I've been able to control myself for so many years, why can't I do it now?
I am Si Lan.
Lian Jiu looked at him for a long time, and finally looked away: "When are you leaving?"
"In the afternoon." Si Lan said, "Come back in two days."
"Okay." After a pause, Lian Jiu added, "Be careful on your journey."
After Si Lan left in the afternoon, Lian Jiu came to the door of his room. No matter where he came from or where he went, he seemed to leave no trace.
Everything was neatly arranged, nothing belonged to him.
The night light on the table was also missing.
"Jiujiu!" Jiang An jumped up to her from behind, "I've been looking for you for a long time. Isn't Si Lan's place empty? What are you looking at?"
I came here because I was free.
"Clean it up for him." Lian Jiu walked in with tools. "What do you want me for? Didn't I go plant trees?"
"We've finished planting today." Jiang An followed her in. "Si Lan won't be here for the next two days. I'll stay by your side for him."
Lian Jiu found it funny: "He never followed me everywhere before."
"Although his real body is not here, he has been protecting you." Jiang An said disapprovingly, "I can't lose to him."
Thinking of the pearls Si Lan gave her, she was silent for a long time.
Jiang An helped her clean up. Actually, there was nothing much to clean up, just sweeping and wiping. When she was sweeping, she suddenly saw something behind the cabinet: "What is this?"
Lian Jiu walked over and found that the piece of paper looked familiar.
It seemed to be the piece of paper that Si Lan was holding when he came to see him before. He seemed to have hidden it after being frightened at that time.
I didn't expect to end up here.
"An An." Lian Jiu blocked Jiang An's outstretched hand, "Please help me get a basin of water."
When Jiang An heard that Jiujiu needed him, he immediately nodded: "Okay!"
After she ran out happily, Lian Jiu reached out and picked up the paper.
She thought for a long time before opening the paper in her hand.
It's a portrait.
The person who painted this picture has such a strong brushstroke that you can tell who the person is at a glance.
It was the day when she first came to Fuyu Mountain and looked at the little carps by the lake.
"Jiujiu! I'm back!"
Lian Jiu calmly put away the painting in his hand.
Jiang An was puzzled: "What is that?"
"Nothing." Lian Jiu couldn't see anything unusual and said softly, "A blank piece of paper."
