Lin Yuan put on a pure white guide uniform. When she walked out of the door, she reached out and touched the delicate lace on the hem of her skirt. She felt a sense of restraint that prevented her from moving forward.

She has been wearing this style of skirt for more than ten years - it is gorgeous, delicate, highlights her figure, and is inconvenient to move around in.

She had thought she was used to wearing this kind of clothes.

Facts have proven that when we are forced to accept something uncomfortable, we can never truly get used to it.

A car sent by the White Tower to pick her up was parked outside the door.

In fact, the White Pagoda is very close to her home and there is no need to take a car.

It is said that in order to commend her achievements, a sentry from the Royal Guard was specially sent to pick her up by car to show solemnity.

The car window rolled down halfway, revealing a face that Lin Yuan was familiar with.

Lin Yuan was even stunned for a moment before he remembered this person's name.

Jiang Yangshuo, her former fiancé.

The alley was very quiet at this moment, and the morning sunlight was cut into two distinct halves by the courtyard wall.

Lin Yuan stood in the rising sunlight, while the people in the car were in the haze of last night.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that a long time had passed.

So much so that the little girl in the white dress with the lonely back has become very vague in my memory.

The memory became a long and fragmented picture. Even the name and face of this fiancé needed to be thought for a while before it could be retrieved from the memory.

Those suffocating years in the past were always full of troubles, but after going through so much, they seem insignificant and no longer worth mentioning.

Lin Yuan smoothed the hem of her skirt, greeted Jiang Yangshuo calmly, and got into the car calmly.

The car started and moved forward slowly. The huge white tower could be seen through the car window.

White, sturdy, majestic towers bathed in the morning sun.

The air in the car was silent. Neither of the two people in the car spoke.

After a long time, Jiang Yangshuo's voice finally rang out in the carriage.

"I heard that you... have been traveling to many places recently."

The voice was a little dry, as if these words had been repeated in his heart countless times before he finally said them out loud with great reluctance.

In Lin Yuan's memory, Jiang Yangshuo was a man who was good at long talks and had many friends. He was always graceful and talkative, and it was rare to see him hesitant like this.

But people change, and I am no longer the same as before.

She answered with a "hmm", casually.

"Can you get used to it? I heard that the conditions at the sentry posts are very bad. Where have you been?"

"It's pretty good." Lin Yuan said, "I've traveled all over the eastern region."

In order to improve her coordination with Ni Jilian, she had basically run through all the polluted areas near the Dongbin Sentry Post and the Land of No Pupils.

Now that I think about it, after going through so much, I can be considered an experienced fighter and can call myself a veteran.

Lin Yuan's view looked out the car window and landed on the top of the tall white tower.

The pointed white tower was shining with the golden light of the sun. The tower was so high that when I looked up from the car window, I couldn't see the window at the top at all.

But Lin Yuan knew that there was a window at the top of the tower. Someone might be standing behind the window, looking down at everything on the earth from a high position.

Today, she will go to the top of the tower again to meet Her Majesty the Queen, who holds the highest power in the empire.

Jiang Yangshuo's gaze fell on Lin Yuan's profile and he felt his throat was very dry.

He had put a lot of effort into getting this opportunity to pick up Lin Yuan today.

At this moment, the person picked up the phone and sat next to him. He found that he didn't know how to start the conversation.

He hasn't seen Lin Yuan for a long time.

I tried not to think about it deliberately, but that slender figure had been engraved deep into my soul and I could not forget it.

Jiang Yangshuo had many memories of Lin Yuan in his mind. She still had that exquisite face and that familiar white dress, but something seemed completely different from before.

The girl sitting next to him had the same face as before, but she was radiating an aura from the inside out. She was calm and at ease, not affected by external things.

That is the momentum that has truly been tempered on the battlefield.

It inspires awe and makes people dare not blaspheme lightly.

I don't know when it started, but people around me often mentioned Lin Yuan's name.

I heard that she opened up the Golden Tree contaminated area.

I heard that Her Majesty the Queen received her in person.

I heard that the Royal Guard specially selected a sentry for her.

It is said that she once again performed an astonishing act and shook the land of Wutong.

During that tryout, Jiang Yangshuo, a member of the Royal Guard, also stood in the corner, almost gritting his teeth.

I want to get on the stage, but I know I can't win.

He could only stand in the audience and watch the strongest members of the Royal Guards go up to the ring and fight to the point of bleeding.

Just to get a place next to her.

That position originally belonged to her, and she was the only one by her side.

Jiang Yangshuo really wanted to tell Lin Yuan to give him another chance, and he would definitely cherish it this time.

His heart was beating very fast at this moment, and his chest ached with the heartbeat.

It was like the first time I saw Lin Yuan beside the sea of ​​flowers. At that time, Lin Yuan was so beautiful that she didn't look like a common thing on earth. I had sworn at that time that I would treat her well, how could I have forgotten it?

My heart was beating like a drum and my heart was sweet at that time, but now it is full of bitterness and despair.

I opened my mouth several times, but no words came out.

He knew that this was not the right time and the distance was too short. If he kept turning around, he would not be able to exit before the car stopped.

Lin Yuan didn't even look at him. She pushed open the car door, got out, and walked towards the tall white tower.

Jiang Yangshuo remained silent, got out of the car and followed Lin Yuan inside.

After entering the White Tower, several sentinels saw them and came up to greet them warmly.

"I've heard of you, Director Lin. Can you add your contact information?"

"It's amazing, how did you do it? We all received weapons from the Land of No Pupils. It's all thanks to you, thank you."

"I didn't play in the last tryout. If there is a next time, I will kill that Ni Ji and replace him. You can look forward to it."

The sentries from the special operations team pulled Lin Yuan aside to inquire about the latest situation in the contaminated area, uttering various sighs and groans.

When Jia Linyuan was about to die, everyone's eyes swept across Jiang Yangshuo vaguely, with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

A guide with an afro saw Lin Yuan from a distance and ran over.

She clung to Lin Yuan affectionately and whispered to him for a long time. Jiang Yangshuo recognized her. She was from a noble family, the youngest daughter of a marquis.

She asked about the situation at the Linyuan border post, exclaiming from time to time, with great interest.

Lin Yuan was still the same as before, speaking very little and with not much expression on his face.

But Jiang Yangshuo knew that she was no longer the silent little girl trapped in the white tower.

When it comes to sentry posts, contaminated areas, mutants - these terrifying things, she can name them like the back of her hand.

That kind of relaxed confidence is not much different from those of powerful warriors who often go in and out of the battlefield.

He even had difficulty following their conversation.

A noble like Jiang Yangshuo has lived in the White Tower for too long, and his years have almost solidified in this small space.

They lead a comfortable life, and even as sentinels, they almost never leave the protection of the White Tower.

I have never seen a real mutant, nor have I ever left Kyoto, so I have no idea what the real world outside is like.

In front of Lin Yuan, the warriors who actually went in and out of the contaminated area, they often showed fear when talking about the world outside the White Tower.

Nicole held Lin Yuan's hand and looked at Jiang Yangshuo with naked disdain and a look of disgust as if she had seen an idiot.

Jiang Yangshuo was once Lin Yuan's fiancé, but he later took the initiative to cancel the engagement. Many people know about this.

Back then, most of the mocking eyes fell on Lin Yuan.

Now, such gazes gradually shifted to Jiang Yangshuo's head.

Jiang Yangshuo's heart felt like it was pierced by tiny needles. Frustration, anger, bitterness, and regret all surged up in his chest. For a moment, he felt a mixture of various emotions that were difficult to describe.

Lin Yuan took the sightseeing elevator to the top of the tower.

She had taken this elevator the last time she came here, you know? After swiping the special elevator card, it would go up quickly and take her to the top of the tower.

Lin Yuan's heart felt a little tense and his body was in a state of excitement.

That was her physiological reaction when she was about to enter a dangerous battlefield.

But she clearly just went up to the tower to see Her Majesty the Queen and say a few words.

At this time, a small team of sentries just came back from outside.

Several of them were fully armed, holding high-energy weapons, with blood stains on their bodies and looking dusty. They were a team that had just gone out on a mission.

Lin Yuan suddenly saw the familiar shadow from the crowd.

Through the elevator glass, her eyes fell on Ni Ji.

There was dust on her soft black hair, a hot weapon was carried behind her tight waist, and her straight legs were wearing black short boots.

The sentry opened the personal terminal with his black-gloved finger and was communicating with his teammates.

I don’t know why, but the moment Lin Yuan saw Ni Ji, the tight feeling in his heart disappeared.

My eyes fell on that person. I even thought about it. I had an appointment with him to have dinner together in the evening. I had to get things done quickly.

The elevator started to go up, and the man didn't look up, as if he didn't see himself.

But the tip of the ear is within his sight and slowly turns red.

It turns out he saw it.

That's right, how could a sentinel like him not notice me who was so close to him?

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Jiang Yangshuo and Lin Yuan were riding the elevator together. His eyes were always on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's cold eyes softened when he saw the sentry.

She even smiled.

Jiang Yangshuo had known Lin Yuan for more than ten years, but had never seen Lin Yuan smile at him.

Lin Yuan was like ice on a snowy mountain, cold and never melting. From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Yangshuo had never seen her smile.

This faint smile brought to her was like a blooming lotus, captivating her heart, but it was not for her.

Jiang Yangshuo felt his heart was broken instantly. Since they had known each other for a long time, Lin Yuan had never looked at him like this, and had never smiled at him.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have thought wrongly for a moment, made the wrong decision, suffered the consequences, and regretted it to this day.

"Is that Director Lin in the elevator? The one that Her Majesty the Queen summoned today?"

In the hall, Ni Ji heard his comrades say.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the rapidly ascending elevator, then lowered his head to continue reading the information in his hand, humming, "Yes, it's her."

Not special? Looks like you take it to heart.

Several sentries began to discuss the gossip they had heard.

"I heard that Director Lin was previously matched with a fiancée from the Jiang family. Later the engagement was cancelled."

"Jiang Yangshuo must be regretting this now, right?"

"I heard that their initial match rate was very high, reaching 70%."

"Oh my god, a 70% match is so rare. Is Jiang Yangshuo an idiot? Why did he cancel the engagement?"

"Who knows? Seeing how he's following me around, he probably wants to chase the person back."

"That guy has nothing to lose except a pretty face. I guess Director Lin will never come back to him."

"Who knows? Guides all like good-looking people. Besides, his spirit body is a cheetah."

"What's wrong with cheetahs? Cheetahs have poor stamina. I'm still a buffalo."

"Cheetahs are furry, which is very useful as a guide. You may not know that most guides are fur-loving."

As the sentries were talking, they suddenly felt a chill as if they were submerged in the icy sea water.

They stopped talking, shuddered, and looked at Ni Ji beside them in confusion.

Ni Ji lowered his eyelashes, had a cold expression, and said nothing, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
