The world in the book that Ling Xiao described was very different from her previous life. In her previous life, she died tragically in a remote mountain area and did not become the rich woman he described.
I don’t know Zhao Youwei, I don’t even know him…
Not to mention knowing the teachers.
She was unsure of many things, but she knew that the life she had now was what she had fought for with her life, and no one was allowed to destroy it.
After a long while, she looked up at him and said with a smile, "Since I am the protagonist, aren't you afraid that I will use you as cannon fodder?"
Ling Xiao chuckled and raised his hand to pinch her rosy cheeks. "Then there is another possibility. I want to be another protagonist, a protagonist who doesn't serve as cannon fodder for others."
His ability to understand is not very strong. Cannon fodder is probably like the death soldiers in their team, who go and never come back, right?
"Then are you afraid of me?" She was not asking about him being a cannon fodder, but something else.
He didn't know she had space, but he knew she had the ability to kill the python, which was an unknown power he didn't know about...
She exposed herself by saying this. She was gambling on Ling Xiao's choice. If there was anything wrong with him, she would take him into the space. At worst...
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes, feeling a little nervous.
Ling Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you, the protagonist, will look down on me, a cannon fodder."
In the past, he thought that as long as he didn't let her leave, he could protect her. But now that he had seen her terrifying strength with his own eyes, he wanted to retire. If he could share some of the burden with her, he would be able to protect her well...
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned, thinking that he had replied the wrong way. She quickly looked up and met his clear eyes. She was stunned.
The look in the man's eyes showed that he was worried about her, not that he was worried about her...
Ling Xiao grabbed her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Leave the educated youth to me. I'll do it..."
He didn't tell her that Nie Zheng also knew about this because he was afraid that she would feel pressured, so he was on guard.
Meng Qidi stared at him, unsure whether his words were true or not. Was he really not afraid? He was actually not surprised at all...
After a long while, Meng Qidi finally remembered the most important thing, "How did you know?"
Ling Xiao paused, somewhat helplessly, "I followed the route you might have taken, and was attracted by the screams. As a result, you were not there, and I heard this secret instead."
Meng Qidi narrowed her eyes, "So Ge Mei told someone about this? That person is... Nie Zheng?"
People like Ge Mei are not on good terms with Meng Yuzhen, and Meng Yuzhen would not tell anyone no matter how much she threatened her. So, the person she told it to was Nie Zheng.
Ling Xiao...
My wife is too smart, what should I do?
Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously, "So why did you hide this? Are you afraid that I would kill Nie Zheng? When did you two become so close?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ling Xiao slapped her in annoyance. "He's not a big man, but he's so arrogant. Who are you trying to kill? I'm not familiar with him. It's just that I accidentally discovered that Nie Zheng is not a simple person. He's different from the gentle appearance. Don't trust him too much."
Ling Xiao's words sounded a little hasty, and lacked some credibility.
Meng Qidi looked at him, "He treats me no differently? Why don't you trust him? Also, what do you mean by saying this? Are you trying to sow discord?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Facing her eyes that were somewhat smiling, Ling Xiao exhaled, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "Let's talk about serious matters, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Meng Qidi looked at him steadily, "Why did you risk your life to protect me that day? If there was an accident, do you think I would still take care of me in the future? If you were beaten by that snake, even if you didn't die, you would probably be half dead. Aren't you afraid that I would despise you for being disabled again?"
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and gently held her hand, whispering, "I'm scared, but there's no need to ask why. It's just instinct."
My instinct was to protect her.
Meng Qidi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? If something happens to you..."
Wouldn't it be that she cured his leg in vain? The old lady probably couldn't bear the blow anymore.
Meng Qidi admitted that when Ling Xiao blocked the attack for her, she was really panicked at the time and stretched out her hand without caring about anything else...
Ling Xiao chuckled, "What should we do now? I want to retire and go back after you graduate."
"Why?" Meng Qidi looked at him in surprise. How could he have such...
"I've been a soldier for seven or eight years. It's time to retire. As I told you, unless you're an officer, you can't be a soldier for life. Besides, it's really not possible for me to go to college at my age."
He knew better than anyone what kind of people he was in contact with at this position. The only way to be safe was to return to his hometown and hide Xiaoqi's abilities.
Meng Qidi was silent. She had basically guessed what he was doing. After a long while, she looked up and asked, "Is it worth it?"
As long as he attends military school, he will have a bright future.
Ling Xiao raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "It's worth it. Besides, my position is high-risk and I could die at any time. It's really worth it to be able to go back and be with you guys."
He used to be like a young man who was always at the forefront of everything. But now he is no longer able to do that. He is afraid of losing his life and not being able to take good care of his family.
Call him selfish, he just wanted to protect them.
Meng Qidi suddenly chuckled and pushed him unhappily, "Why are you being so serious? There are still a few years left. The key now is what to do with your school."
Ling Xiao said: "No, I've been busy with military training these days, so I haven't reported yet."
Meng Qidi glanced at him unhappily. She suspected that he was pretending to obey her.
Ling Xiao held her shoulders and pushed her down on the bed. "Lie down and talk. You just woke up and haven't recovered yet. What we are thinking about now is what to do with those people? Another question is, what is Meng Yuzhen doing here?"
He just remembered this. In Ge Mei's story, there were only Xiao Qi, the educated youth named Zhao, and Nie Zheng.
So what about Meng Yuzhen? He always felt that there were many twists and turns in this...
"A clown." Meng Qidi said carelessly, her heart full of resentment. What is it? An enemy, a mortal enemy. In her previous life, it was probably Ge Mei who used Meng Yuzhen to harm her so miserably...
Not wanting Ling Xiao to delve deeper into the matter, Meng Qidi reached out and tugged at him, "Aren't you tired? Go to sleep."
Ling Xiao took off his clothes and lay down, only to realize a little late that it seemed that Xiao Qi was the one who pulled him down.
Ling Xiao secretly glanced at the person leaning against him, and his heart was surging. Is Xiao Qi...
"Move over there, I'm pressing down on the quilt and can't pull it up."
Ling Xiao was pushed a few times, and Meng Qidi behind him simply climbed up, shook the quilt, and got into the bed swiftly.
Ling Xiao sat up and looked at the quilt wrapped in her and his own quilt placed beside the bed, and was a little stunned.
Is he overthinking?
Meng Qidi's voice rang out.
"Make yourself a blanket and go to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
Meng Qidi quickly closed her eyes. She hadn't been able to sleep for a few days. She was just embarrassed by her behavior just now. She didn't expect that she would unconsciously get close to Ling Xiao...
