Chapter 356 "Mediation"
People's memories can deceive themselves.
A typical example is that when many people are memorizing a book, they often think they have remembered the contents on the page in the previous second, but as soon as they close the book, they will suddenly be unsure about what they have remembered.
"Thinking you remember something, but actually not remembering it" is a very common phenomenon.
And now, Lin Xiaolu also encountered this problem.
In the past, whenever there was some friction between the team members in the Fangting City team, as long as Cuiqiao stepped in, both sides would usually stop. Lin Xiaolu naturally saw the mediation process, and even often she was the party involved. However, when she wanted to recall Cuiqiao's actions, she could only recall some very specious content.
She could remember how she felt when Delphinium made her happy, and she could also remember how she felt when she severely restrained herself, but apart from these feelings, she was unable to extract any useful experience.
In other words, even if she told herself to "do it like the delphinium", she would actually find it difficult to fully replicate the delphinium's approach.
The conflict at the scene was on the verge of breaking out. Seeing that Bo He and Bai Jingxuan were about to fight each other, there was no time for her to recall the past.
Let’s just do it.
Lin Xiaolu boosted her determination in her heart, pursed her lips, and then, before Bai Jingxuan could actually make a move, she stood between the two parties.
——"I'm sorry, but I think I need to stop you for a moment."
She put on a stern face, imitating the words and expressions of Delphinium in her memory, and said to Arrowroot Potato, "Please stop provoking my teammates. If you are only planning to fight because of personal grudges, I think there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Fighting in this assessment will only cause unnecessary losses."
As she said this, she pulled on Bai Jingxuan's clothes and said, "You two should calm down. Even if the other party has provoked us, this is not a reason for us to abandon our achievements."
“But this person is really annoying.”
Lin Xiaolu's words made Bai Jingxuan pause for a moment, but the hostility on her face did not diminish: "Sister Bai Mei, this person is definitely a very, very bad guy. Even now, she is still thinking of some bad ideas! We should defeat her quickly!"
Bai Jingxuan's attitude seemed difficult to soften, so Lin Xiaolu had to look at Bo He and try to persuade her.
——"I'm sorry, although I really want to act rationally, but giving in to this guy is unacceptable to me."
However, Mint also showed a completely different temperament at this time, and did not give Lin Xiaolu a chance to persuade her. The pleasant and refreshing feeling on her body faded a lot, and instead made people feel a little cold: "You are outsiders, so you don't have to get involved in the conflict between me and her, just leave."
"Oh? Who allowed you to leave?"
Arrowroot interrupted Bohe's words almost at the same time, ignoring Lin Xiaolu and staring at Bai Jingxuan: "Since this little girl dares to show her fangs to me, I will not let her go until both sides decide the winner."
"Why do you have to involve an outsider in our matter?" Bohe said in a sarcastic tone.
"You know whether she is an outsider or not." Jiangenshu grinned slightly: "In other words, you should have discovered it earlier than me, right? This little girl is obviously..."
She stopped talking halfway through her words, but Mint was unexpectedly silent. It was obvious that she knew what the second half of Arrowroot's sentence was.
The atmosphere at the scene became even colder.
"Calm down! Didn't you hear me? Calm down!"
Even though Lin Xiaolu kept trying to stop them, no one listened to her. It was as if some strange magnetic field had been created between these three people, pushing them deeper and deeper into the hostile relationship.
And when Arrowroot was the first among the three to transform into a bat and show her "magic costume", Lin Xiaolu knew that her attempt had failed.
No matter how much she imitated the Delphinium in her memory, and tried to "present facts and reason", in the end, she was only imitating an expression. In reality, she didn't know much about Arrowroot and Mint. Her understanding of Bai Jingxuan was far less than that of Delphinium, so she could only speak some general truths, but it was difficult to prescribe the right medicine for each person's personality.
She couldn't do that as well as Delphinium.
Lin Xiaolu realized this.
Her failure would lead to the outbreak of a battle, and at that point, their team's assessment would probably be completely ruined.
Lin Xiaolu couldn't accept this.
She also wanted to get good grades, to stand out, to be at the top, to make those who cared about her proud... For her, in a place like this, it was incomprehensible to ruin the test results of the entire team because of such a ridiculous reason.
Lin Xiaolu clenched the magic suit in her hand.
The black mist of the Arrowroot Potato had already enveloped Bai Jingxuan and Bohe. Bai Jingxuan was holding the music box, with her pupils looming. Bohe also hid half of her face in her hood and put her hands in her coat pockets...
——"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
The sudden shouts and the sudden chopped down of spears cut off the attacks of both sides.
Lin Xiaolu stood angrily between the two parties and yelled at Bo He: "Are you crazy? On the way here, you acted like a reliable think tank, but you went crazy at the critical moment? I don't care what grudges you have with her. Do you know that fighting here will affect your grades and even mine? Can you have a sense of responsibility?"
After yelling at Bohe, who was stunned, she turned to look at Bai Jingxuan: "What are you doing? Don't you want the points? Are you going to go back to Fangting City with a zero? It's not easy to come here to take the exam and get the results, but you just let down the seniors' expectations of you? What do you think that woman, Delphinium and Margaret, will think if you fail the exam?"
This scolding also made Bai Jingxuan stop her actions completely.
“And you!”
After talking about her two teammates, Lin Xiaolu looked at Jiangenshu again: "I've long disliked you, you arrogant fellow. What do you have to do after eating? Do you like fighting so much? I told you not to harass my teammates, but you're still pestering me. Aren't you annoying? Don't you have your own things to do? You should leave now that you've conquered all the nodes! Do you need me to tell you to get out?"
"……Oh."
Being pointed at and scolded like this, Arrowroot's face was naturally not very good, but compared to the malicious smile she had shown to Bohe before, her expression was even more uncertain at this moment:
"Interesting, can I understand that you want to provoke me as well?"
"Provocation? I'm scolding you, don't you understand?!"
Lin Xiaolu slammed the spear to the ground: "If you want to fight, then fight. You don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you? But wouldn't it be stupid to fight in this assessment? If you really want to fight, then find another place. I'll beat you up!"
"So, what do you mean?" Arrowroot Potato asked again.
"This is just the first item of the assessment! There will always be assessments that require fighting each other, right? Then let's have a competition! Let's see what we can do, don't just rely on bragging!" Lin Xiaolu looked disdainful.
"Um……"
According to common sense, Arrowroot should have been very angry at this time, but surprisingly, her expression looked relatively calm.
“It seems pretty good.”
After listening to Lin Xiaolu's proposal, she actually had time to think about it, and then nodded, suddenly smiled and said: "That's settled."
"...What?" Lin Xiaolu had already planned to fight a tough battle and then lead the team to get rid of this guy, but she didn't expect that the other party would be unexpectedly easy to talk to.
"I think your proposal is acceptable. Since this project doesn't encourage fighting, let's change to another project."
Arrowroot Potato solidified its body again and landed on the ground. "It's rare that someone dares to challenge me so brazenly, and you don't seem to be the kind of idiot who has no ability or vision... In that case, it's not impossible to change your taste occasionally. Let me confirm with you again, you mean to wait until the next project, and you want to fight me to see who wins, right?"
"If you're not afraid of getting beaten!" Lin Xiaolu raised her fist arrogantly.
"very good."
Arrowroot nodded, and suddenly all his expressions were restrained:
"Deal, I'll remember you."
