Chapter 148 Western Fantasy 13 Lu Huai's Concern
Although the two people's actions were covered by Jon's props, they did not attract strange looks from others.
However, the crystals above their heads, which were shimmering with light and continuously supplying energy to the teleportation array, illuminated them very brightly, exposing all the chaos and unbearableness above the water.
For someone like Lu Huai who was unaware of the situation, the shame was even greater.
He didn't know how things turned out like this.
After a period of commotion, his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a battlefield between ice and sea. When he regained consciousness from the chaotic will, he found that the bustling crowd had disappeared, and only the people who had arrived later were left.
Coming to his senses, Lu Huai discovered that the thing he feared most had happened.
With his waist being held by someone, he seemed to actively wrap his arms around the blonde elf's body, as if his body had found the only source of heat in the ice and snow, and he was sticking to her at all costs to survive, pushing himself forward.
What’s even worse is that even though the other party may not have a clear idea of what was going on, he seemed so cooperative and obedient to his sudden enthusiasm.
She lowered her head and concentrated on feeling it. Her breath felt tingling on his neck and cheeks. When he struggled to break free, she seemed to be reluctant to let go. Her hands maintained the same position out of habit. She looked at his trembling blue pupils, showing a sense of bewilderment and confusion.
"land?"
And Lu Huai's face was still flushed when he said goodbye.
"Sorry... I just felt a little unwell. Sorry to bother you." He held on and backed away against Jon's chest.
The warmth continued, his breathing became rapid, and every cell in his body was calling out for him to feel the warmth from others again, but his heart was cold.
Although it seems that he is not the only one who can't help crossing the line, the fault is not entirely his.
But Lu Huai was really upset. He felt that everything shouldn't be like this. For him, this meant more trouble than if he was the only one who lost his composure.
He originally thought that since he had a good relationship with his friends, it was normal for him to behave in a way that was closer to them than to others.
It was not until I met all kinds of people and read some books in my spare time that I had a more popular understanding of the scale of communication between people. I gradually realized that some things can be done and some are inappropriate.
So he was aware of some of the mistakes he had made, such as inviting people into his home when he was defenseless because of the goodwill shown by Jon; and sometimes he took actions that were inappropriate for the time and his status, whether actively or passively.
Every time he thought of it, he wanted to find a piece of land to bury himself, but he didn't know if it was because Jon came from the distant Firefly Forest and was not very clear about the usual behavior patterns on the mainland. The other party had never mentioned to him that "this doesn't feel right."
Therefore, Lu Huai is now very afraid that the relationship between the two people will become out of control because of his negligence.
Afraid that all my kindness and friendliness will be understood with other meanings.
This fear is not groundless.
A big part of why he is weak is because he is fighting against the nature of the succubus.
The Silver Moon Succubus survives and increases his magical power by absorbing the essence of other races. Even though he can eat in a normal way due to his mixed human blood, his nature infected by lust is still a shackle derived from his genes, preventing him from moving forward.
Even if the dark gods helped him seal the characteristics that should not be revealed, these limitations still existed objectively.
In 0359's words, perhaps it's "Isn't this just forcing a woman of good character to do something? Without relying on charm and tenderness, there's no way to make progress. It's truly a devilish restriction."
But even so, there is a saying that goes, "People cannot decide where they come from, they can only decide where they are going."
Eighteen years of life have made him accept his background and origins.
But as for the future, Lu Huai was also afraid that he would behave incorrectly and make his good friends feel strange.
And now Jon's reaction and eyes were too hot, even stained with a bit of hurt because of his words:
"What trouble... If you think that caring about you is a trouble, then are we still friends?"
Then he seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, and in a hurry he grabbed his hand to make amends, even lowering his voice.
"Lu, that's not what I meant. Alas, I wanted to say."
"Are you feeling better? What's going on? If you're not feeling well, we'll leave now. As for registration, arriving a little late will just be a matter of dormitory assignment, so it's okay."
Lu Huai shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that my legs were a little numb just now, and I felt a little out of control. I'm fine now."
"Let's go, or we'll have to wait for the next batch."
"Are you really in good health?" Jon was still a little worried and asked again to confirm.
"Can."
The black-haired boy picked up the bag that had fallen to the ground in the chaos, dusted it off, hung it on his body, and walked straight out.
It looked like it was avoiding him unnaturally, and the elf who had just benefited could only swallow the bitter fruit.
Jon also quickly removed the props. Fortunately, the people who were hurrying on their way next to him didn't have the energy to care whether there were two more people in the corner, so he was able to follow Lu Huai and walk into the magic circle synchronously.
To some extent, they have a good understanding of each other.
There was no mention of the situation just now, and the focus of the conflict was shifted to the issue of accelerating the journey.
However, Jon was actually a little impulsive and wanted to talk to Lu Huai just now, but the fact proved that even if Lu Huai responded to him for some reason, his attitude towards it would definitely be serious. At the moment, he might be the only one who was wishful thinking.
When he saw the other person's reaction, he realized that the time had not come yet, and he could only be a "wife-waiting stone" in disappointment.
Time flowed quickly in the teleportation array. After Lu Huai and Qiao En reached the landing point, they were "swept" in by a huge suction force. In a flash of lightning, several different scenes suddenly appeared in the middle, and then they arrived at their destination in a slightly dizzying experience.
When they arrived at Yato, they checked their watches. Sure enough, only a little over half a day had passed. They were much faster than they'd thought. For them, the manual they'd received on the day of the test had proven quite useful.
They followed the route map and walked from the arrival point on the outskirts of the city to the main urban area.
The sun was already setting behind the mountains, and the fields were floating in a deep purple shadow, shimmering with a porcelain-like luster. The gold and blue in the sky were about to be replaced by a deeper, denser hue. Fortunately, Lu Huai and Qiao En were in position in the afterglow before the fireflies appeared.
I also breathed in the fresh air and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that was both real and illusory.
The only drawback is that the atmosphere between the two is still a bit awkward.
Lu Huai was in a state of self-blame and defense, and the elf only dared to talk about the journey, what to eat and where to rest, for fear of offending him.
They exchanged dry food and supplies several times, but other than that, they were always somewhat distant.
Lu Huai could feel a gaze coming from behind him, staring at him loyally and persistently, like a burning flame.
This awkward atmosphere continued until the two of them stepped onto the beige brick street together and walked between the neat and bustling buildings.
After walking aimlessly for a while, Lu Huai seemed to have regained his composure when colorful fireworks rose into the sky. He gently took Qiao En's sleeve, pointed to a sign that said "Inn" not far away, and said to him, "Let's stay there."
This is a sign of reconciliation!
Jon's eyes lit up instantly like a big dog that smelled a bone. He not only wanted to take the little hand, but also wanted to pick the person up and hold him high.
"Okay, let's go."
The college covers a large area, and when they were looking for the location according to the map, the vendors on the road enthusiastically guided them as soon as they saw the direction they were going.
There was a gleam in his eyes that seemed to attract potential customers in advance.
"Oh, another outstanding new student has arrived. If you need to buy props or medicinal herbs, remember to come to me!"
“And nice clothes.”
"Hey, hey, look at my house."
…
The atmosphere was so lively that Lu Huai and Qiao En felt ashamed as if they were being treated like monkeys in a zoo, and they quickly quickened their pace to run away.
When we arrived at the gate, many people had already passed security and entered the campus.
Because the power they rely on is so strong, these future talents will also be sent to the temple and the wizard tower. The strong financial support makes the school gate almost as big as a city wall.
The simple and exquisite reliefs recorded the major events attended by students from various colleges. Lu Huai heard someone introducing them in a rhythmic manner.
"This is 'The Ruins of Gods' from back then, a magnificent work of magical realism. After this battle, the rebellious gods fell into a deep slumber. Our academy also follows our faith—the great God of Light—and becomes the spreader of the Spark."
"This is the 'Exorcism Movement' from back then..."
The explanation was obviously very good, but to Lu Huai, it was not moving, and even made him want to cover his ears and leave.
And right in front of the face is a huge sculpture of "Book without Words", which is said to be designed by the famous magic artist Sholinka and looks very exquisite.
While Lu Huai was standing there admiring the scenery, he heard someone calling him.
"Hi, Lu Huai, haven't seen you for a while."
"What a coincidence, we meet again so soon, are we in the same class?"
When Lu Huai heard his name, he looked over out of habit.
He found that it was the red-haired young man he had met once who was calling him eagerly, and there were several familiar faces following behind him.
I don’t know if they were trained well, but the followers didn’t show any hostility towards him. They even kept quiet in unison and pretended to be very busy behind Xu Rui.
There was one person, he remembered his name was xx, who actually looked up at him secretly a few times.
There was no sense of evil in it.
Lu Huai was also a little conflicted. On the one hand, he felt a little uncomfortable because he and Qiao En had not had a very pleasant experience with the people on the other side. On the other hand, Xu Rui seemed to have no grudges at all and was even very enthusiastic. The people behind him were no longer ferocious, which made it difficult for him to be cruel and cold.
So he chose to respond, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, a small groove forming on his shallow dimples, and a polite smile blooming.
"Hi!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Rui's eyes.
I thought I had long been accustomed to the impact of the black-haired boy's appearance and knew that he was good-looking, but the long journey did not make him look dusty or dirty. He even looked a little more mature and his complexion became better, like a budding flower finally showing signs of development.
"What a disaster."
Xu Rui couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He originally thought that although Lu Huai was beautiful, she was thin and tender, and had a rather shy personality. She was not the type of person who liked to take the initiative to socialize. As long as he was careful, she would not necessarily attract too much attention.
That ungrateful blond elf couldn't protect Lu Huai, but he could.
But now I have lost some of my confidence.
As expected of an academy under the jurisdiction of the Temple of Light, it lives up to its reputation.
The senior student who was responsible for distributing reporting materials and keys handed the items to Lu Huai.
Yoder followed the procedure to confirm whether he matched the appearance on the student card, but found that this junior was the one who was already famous among the people in charge of this work.
The moment he looked up, he couldn't help but push his black-framed glasses uncomfortably.
At that time, they were still betting that the real person would definitely not be as good-looking as the recorded photo. He was the one who shouted the loudest. Unexpectedly, he has now opened his eyes.
But he will never ski too fast! Definitely! ····
Lu Huai noticed that this guy, who was like an emotionless material distribution machine, was stuck with him for a while, so he asked politely with concern: "Senior, are you having any problems? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The senior student, who wore black-framed glasses and looked like a top student, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I was just engrossed in the scenery."
Lu Huai was speechless. Wasn't there just a flower bed across the street? What kind of scenery was that? But he ignored it. He just smiled, took his things, and said goodbye.
Little did he know that Yoder, who had just managed to remain calm, was like a boiling kettle. He took advantage of the opportunity to say that he wanted to rest, then sneaked into the corner and sent a message to his good roommate using the communication equipment.
The top picture shows a beautiful face with a rough angle but still no blind spots.
When people who were doing their homework opened it, their eyes were purified.
