Chapter 123 Doomsday 21 Breaking Free from the Cage & Trapped by Love
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and observe the reaction of the rumored Secretary Lu.
Countless eyes were fixed on him, and even 0359, who could not be seen, felt as if he was socially dead and embarrassed.
Lu Huai still ignored these gazes, remained calm, and put all his thoughts into responding to Meng Jingtang's words.
He's really good at maintaining emotional stability.
Before, people were also curious about what a person with such multiple identities would look like.
When I first heard about this person, I felt that it was so disjointed, but after seeing him in person, I felt that it was not so strange to put these labels on such a person.
"Snow Demon" has emerged as a new star, and has become very popular in recent days, arousing the curiosity of countless people.
When talking about what he looked like, the witnesses always hesitated and thought for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence "very handsome", but their expressions were very unnatural.
One can't help but wonder whether behind this identity is a supernatural being who looks as ferocious as a Rakshasa, but whose true heart is more important than his appearance.
Everyone was afraid and did not dare to tell the truth.
Secretary Lu, however, has been involved in numerous scandals since joining the base, and his reputation for sex is even greater than his reputation for talent.
The gossip that had previously caused a siege and piqued the interest of countless important figures became a topic of conversation after dinner. People almost thought that he was just an ordinary person with good looks but no special abilities.
I have also attracted attention today because of my outstanding strength which is in stark contrast to my appearance. I can be said to be the most talked-about and popular person in the trial. I am handsome and capable.
It is not difficult to imagine how many people in the base will be starry-eyed when he goes on missions after passing the mission.
However, some people who had ulterior motives looked at him with a strange look in their eyes.
Being relied upon by a big shot like Meng Jingtang, to put it more deeply, is like being cared for as if you were holding him in your mouth for fear that he would melt, or as if you were holding him in your palm for fear that he would fall.
Looking at Lu Huai's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, and his lack of awareness of the bloody storm, they couldn't help but shake their heads. The part that originally wanted to extend an olive branch to recruit him also extinguished this small flame.
Joining the team of superpowers seems to be a glorious opportunity, allowing you to be seen by more people.
In fact, no matter how strong the momentum of a newcomer is, if his luck is just a little bit worse, he may be separated from his loved ones not long after joining the team.
Going out on patrol to collect supplies was infinitely more difficult and dangerous than being in the inner field, where the starting point was directly on the edge of safety.
For example, this time the rat plague has caused the loss of manpower in many teams, and the real decisive battle has not even arrived yet.
Some people whispered, "Secretary Lu is so clueless. Why did he make such a fuss? He's offended the second-in-command. Even if he gets into the team, what's the point?"
On the contrary, since Meng Jingtang is still willing to come to the trial field in person and is still speaking warmly to him at this point, the other party's status in his heart must be quite high. If he goes back now and turns into Chanzhirou, there may still be room for maneuver.
However, the beautiful young man's graceful profile was painted with a layer of blood-gold by the setting sun, and like this light that no longer made people feel comfortable, his lips were no longer as soft as they seemed, and were stubbornly pursed into a straight line.
As his ice-based abilities continued to improve, the inherent weakness in his appearance seemed to fade a lot, and his beauty was mixed with a coldness, like the melted snow from the Tibetan glaciers, cold but not hard.
With such a unique temperament, if she were a star in peacetime, she would probably become a huge star. Unfortunately, she is an ignorant...
However, how could Lu Huai not understand these interests? He knew what these people were slandering without thinking, and he was too lazy to care.
Jian Sui'an looked at his face, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
I really want to stand by Lu Huai's side and help him face that hateful guy named Meng.
But since he came here today as an examiner, there was already suspicion. He couldn't bring discredit to the good results that his little friend had achieved in an upright manner, so he had to endure it.
Seeing Lu Huai being forced into that state, he clenched his fists and got anxious.
Lu Huai looked at him soothingly, and he finally calmed down a little.
Then he saw Lu Huai slowly bowing to Meng Jingtang. Although his beautifully curved back was still straight, it had a tilt of submission.
Lu Huai didn't hesitate much and stubbornly said what he wanted to say.
"Thank you for your training, sir. I'm afraid I'll fail to live up to your expectations."
"I've made up my mind. I want to join Longhua. I hope you can help me."
Although the attitude of this statement can be considered polite, the meaning behind it is a rejection, and anyone with a little Chinese reading ability can hear it.
In an instant, the other candidates who had completed the trial and were still immersed in the aftermath of the battle could not help but pay close attention to this place. They were even worried that their results were not as good as that of this weak-looking young man.
Too harsh! These "old men" pondered and commented in their hearts.
Meng Jingtang didn't like seeing him being so humble. Perhaps it was because of their first encounter that he realized that this man was hard at heart, like a sharp blade that would break easily.
Now the distance between them seemed to have returned to the moment they first met, or perhaps he was wearing a disguise in front of him.
After he sadly felt that he was accepted and even expressed his desire to form a closer contract with the other party, he was actually regarded as an obstacle to the other party's development. How ridiculous.
But he still wanted to give Lu Huai a chance.
Still bent his back.
His tone was flat, but those who knew him well knew how rare it was to retreat like this.
Meng Jingtang asked Lu Huai, "So what do you want to do? You want to join the superpower team, and then what?"
He spoke slowly, giving the other person a chance to walk down the steps and return to their original state.
Unfortunately, Lu Huai didn't appreciate it. Instead, he treated him like an interviewer and expressed his feelings:
"I will definitely not let down the trust the base has placed in me. I will shoulder the responsibility of being a pioneer and be prepared to face every crisis."
Meng Jingtang asked again, "Aren't you afraid of death? There's no position where you can't shine. I think you're perfect for this job."
"Don't be afraid." Lu Huai replied firmly.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Thank you for your trust and cultivation. But I am already prepared."
These decisive words almost formed a dramatic conflict with the image in his mind of the other person's eyes being so sensitive that they were swallowed by physiological tears because of his touch.
He is so weak... and so easy to bully, so why does he ignore everything when it comes to life and death?
"good!"
Meng Jingtang almost laughed out loud.
“It’s really great.”
"It's a good thing to have ambition. I look forward to your subsequent performance."
He clapped his hands, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the almost silent scene.
In this depressing atmosphere, no one dared to follow him, and no one dared to speak.
"Please continue with your process and don't let me interfere." He waved his hand.
The words left by Meng Jingtang seemed to have pressed the "eye of life" in the decaying space and time. Everything slowly began to return to normal, and some people began to speak normally.
However, Lu Huai heard the white-haired young man who was controlling the wheelchair and leaving let out a long sigh as he passed by him.
And "I will always wait for you."
Somehow, that melancholy feeling was so pleasing to the ear. Jiang Fengnian put his arm around his shoulders and Jian Suian chattered beside him for a long time before Lu Huai came to his senses.
He clenched his palms so tightly that his nails left indentations.
-------------------------------------
The other side does not have so many "good partners".
People around him didn't dare to get close to him easily. Lu Huai had been the person closest to him in this room for many years.
The huge white "castle" was empty and deserted. Without that figure, it was like spring had withdrawn its visit to the kingdom of ice and snow, and everything became dark again.
Meng Jingtang was still immersed in his own emotions.
Why are you as stubborn as a donkey?
This road is extremely bumpy and rugged. If you want to become famous or have a place in the world, isn’t the smooth road he has paved a smoother one?
He was talking to himself, his emotions rarely showing.
Everyone in the room was silent, and the entire church was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.
I'm afraid that even a needle falling to the ground can cause thousands of ripples.
They all knew that everything Meng Jingtang said was addressed to the same person, a person they all knew but did not dare to pronounce.
Listening to him there, his tone was not hysterical, and even at this time, the address was still caring.
But this kind of madness that has not faded away from rationality is more terrifying than momentary emotional control.
"Idiot, you're going to die! I can't guarantee your safety, so why are you so stubborn?"
He would stop paving the way for someone in such a deliberate way. Even if he had feelings for him that went beyond superiors and subordinates, so what?
Is Meng Jingtang's feelings cheap and not worth caring about?
But the scene of Lu Huai standing at the bottom of the stairs, head bowed and silent, quietly waiting for his judgment, suddenly emerged in his mind at an inopportune time.
How could he bear to let such a proud swan be humiliated by him in public?
Feeling humiliated by his own mistakes, Meng Jingtang crushed the antique porcelain vase that he had loved for a long time.
The powerful mental strength did not strengthen his weak body.
If you fail to control the force well, the broken porcelain pieces will cut you into crisscrossing blood marks.
Uncle Chen felt unwell when he saw the shocking red on his master's body...
However, Lu Huai did not do as the other party expected, completely immersed in joy and forgetting him.
He knew that Meng Jingtang must be thinking that he really didn't know how to weigh the pros and cons.
But the reason why, despite being the "backstabbing ex-husband", he can still play the important role of the second male lead in the plot line given by the company shows that the patient also has his strengths.
Lu Huai once speculated that the so-called plot lines of the Samsara Company might all be plots from novels.
Just like Lu Zhuangyuan, who is both talented and virtuous, and once served as a safe haven for the original protagonist, Beta Lu Huai had a good relationship with the original protagonist when he was young. He is ordinary but has a pure heart.
Charming and regrettable, perhaps that is what makes this character unique.
Although he is as unstable as a reed in this world, he is also a tenacious and eager person with special abilities to change the status quo.
Although the original plot line was vague, it did not specify what "Lu Huai" was doing specifically.
But I don't think he is so servile that he would do things that others despise in order to climb up.
If he was such a person, it would be impossible for him to sacrifice his life for Jun Mo after breaking up.
In Lu Huai's own analysis of the character, he increasingly felt that this move was not the so-called "sacrifice for love" as rumored, but was simply the backbone that united the strength of all mankind, and the leader could not fall like this.
Jun Mo's value is much more important than his.
Therefore, they would rather sacrifice their lives for righteousness.
He was still thinking about Meng Jingtang, but Jian Sui'an was dissatisfied with his attention being diverted, and leaned over with her warm body.
"what's on your mind?"
Like a furnace, she almost held Lu Huai in her arms, feeling the most sincere heart of the curly-haired puppy.
Lu Huai lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings: "Thinking about the result of this trial."
Mo Chengze, who had not been seen for a long time, interrupted the conversation very naturally, and his words seemed very authoritative - after he shook them both to welcome Lu Huai's "new life".
"Xiao Huai, you are the undisputed number one. Everyone in the base can see it. Even if Meng Er is all-powerful, he can't change this official data."
"Besides, right now we're in a critical situation where we need new blood. He can wait and add more people, but the base can't. Your joining the team is set in stone, and there's no getting around it."
Lu Huai's lips curled up slightly. He had been serious for a long time today, and it was rare for him to smile. It was even more addictive than the sweet candy he brought.
"Thank you."
“I also very much hope that I can get what I want.”
Jian Sui'an was the one who was top-heavy and fell into the whirlpool.
But as the captain, he keenly felt the vibration on his mobile phone, thinking that there might be news about the list given out today, and immediately picked it up vigilantly.
Lu Huai was like a cat, curiously looking in the direction he followed his movements, which was very cute.
When Jian Sui'an opened it and took a look, he immediately hugged Lu Huai tightly with excitement. If the other two were not staring at him, looking extremely difficult to deal with, he would probably have kissed him several times.
"Great! Commander Xiao has approved it. Once the announcement is made, Ah Huai, you're basically ours."
"With him here, Bao Meng can't do anything to you!"
"And it's a job anywhere. For him, it's a pure waste of talent.
Oh, don't mention it. A few nights ago, I was drinking with Fengnian and Lao Mo. When I thought about the simple but fulfilling life of the four of us being shattered, I couldn't help but burst into tears. They even laughed at me at the time.
"Jian Sui'an is like a reckless donkey. If he gets drunk and goes crazy, I'm going to pretend I don't know him."
Jiang Fengnian crossed his arms and added.
By the way, his eyes cut into Jian Sui'an's dirty hands like a knife. The other party shuddered and reluctantly left Xiangxiang's "wife".
Jian Sui'an was so shocked when he found out that his brother had added this detail that he blushed immediately.
Only Mo Cheng was leisurely fanning himself to cool off, making the two men playing and fighting beside him seem a little too lively.
But those eyes kept looking at Lu Huai, with some attachment and longing for not meeting for a long time, and there was an inexplicable charm of a peaceful and quiet time.
"He shouldn't have done anything to you, right?"
"No. Actually, apart from going out less, there's nothing special."
Mo Chengze repeatedly chewed over Lu Huai's light words "Nothing special".
With a playful tone, he leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered jokingly, "Actually, I think it's quite special. Under the management of my good uncle, there is no one whose value is not squeezed dry."
"If you run a little later, I might have to call you 'Auntie'."
"you!"
This Mo Chengze really deserves a beating. He knew that his well-behaved appearance last time would not last long.
But what the other person said was extremely accurate.
That person... really wants to develop a relationship with him further...
Both physically and mentally, she longed for a deeper connection with him.
So Lu Huai chose to go with the flow and follow Jun Mo.
However, as to why the other party would think about this question, he had to doubt the person in front of him.
After all, he seemed to have some impression that Jun Mo lived with Mo Chengze.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Meng Jingtang: If I had known that I would not have a wife to kiss me so soon, I would have @#￥* all-rounded me first.
Save those stinky guys a bargain
