Chapter 240 The Distance Between People
"Ahem, um, Xiao Hei, I was just distracted. Weren't you guys fine before? How did it suddenly become like this?" Ye Lang admitted it very straightforwardly and raised a question.
"..., can't you respect me? I'm speaking with such emotion, how could you be distracted?" Edward said angrily. This was simply an insult to the pure feelings between him and Kassa.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about Violet College. I think I've heard of that name before."
"That's just empty talk. It's the second-best academy in the continent. How could you not have heard of it?" Edward said unhappily. "Which hidden family in the mountains are you from?"
He was a little skeptical. He had always suspected that Ye Lang should not be in this chaotic world. Ye Lang had a pure aura that no one else had, which was somewhat incompatible with this turbid world.
Such a person should only be found in seclusion in the mountains, and Ye Lang is so wealthy, so he must be from the Yinshi family. "Isn't the Royal Academy the second?" Ye Lang asked with a little curiosity. He had heard about this matter before.
"Bullshit! Which bastard told you that? The Royal Academy is third and our Violet Academy is only second," Edward said excitedly. This was his way of defending his alma mater.
"I heard it from you bastards from Violet. They said they were third..." Ye Lang remembered that at that time, someone from Violet said this very modestly.
It seems that this time, the Royal Academy is in second place, and Violet is in third place, but the people of Violet will not admit it. "...Tell me, which bastard is it? I want to destroy him." Edward was choked by Ye Lang. This was not like pointing at a monk and calling him a bald donkey, and the bald donkey could not say anything, because he was the one who asked which bastard said it.
And Edward may not know yet, he will soon hit himself in the face again...
"He said his name was Carrot," Ye Lang said after thinking for a while.
"..." Edward fell silent. He didn't dare to scold this person because Carrot was an elderly and respected martial arts instructor at Violet Academy, known as the best martial arts master at Violet Academy.
At the same time, Carrot was also Edward's idol, so he naturally wouldn't scold him. He would only support him. "How did you meet him?" Edward was a little curious.
"He was giving a speech. I saw him when I passed by." Ye Lang replied. From what he remembered, that should be the case. Carrot should be giving a speech.
"Speech? When will Teacher Carrot give a speech? Never mind, let's not talk about this. We haven't finished what we were talking about just now. What did you ask me just now?" Edward realized that the question had gone off topic, so he returned to the main topic.
"Let me ask you, why did you suddenly become strangers? Aren't you childhood sweethearts?" Ye Lang asked again.
"Ah..." Edward sighed and said, "When we were little, we didn't feel any distance between us, because we didn't know that when we grow up, we will understand that there are many kinds of distances between people."
"She's the daughter of the city lord, a darling of heaven. The people who are with her are all of similar status, while I'm just an ordinary little noble," Edward said slowly. "The gap between her and me is so obvious. The older we get, the farther we get from each other."
"This is nothing but the shackles that the world has placed on us. The gap in status, the distance, are all set by ourselves." Ye Lang frowned and said with some emotion, "As long as you try to break through, you will find that it is just a piece of paper."
"You think too simply. The distance between people is sometimes impossible to cross even if you make every effort." Edward shook his head, implying a denial of Ye Lang's words, which seemed to be something he felt deeply about.
This was actually the problem between him and Kassadin, and he had experienced it deeply for several years. "Maybe, maybe you are right, the feelings between people are very subtle, but I don't think there is a problem. Even if I am a beggar, if I fall in love with the princess, I will still snatch the princess away." Ye Lang said with a smile, as if he was joking, but also seemed very serious.
"..., I should have the same state of mind as you, and I wouldn't have wasted so many years just thinking about how to make her happy. Those were just words to comfort myself. I want to be with her, it's that simple," Edward said, overturning his previous words.
"Well, it's that simple. Either we stay together or we give up," Ye Lang nodded in agreement.
"I used to be unable to see things clearly. I felt that my status was far from hers, and some of her friends excluded me, so I gradually became estranged from her. In fact, this was originally my fault. If I had always been with her, we would not have become estranged." Edward's words were a bit confusing, and other people would be confused, but Ye Lang at this time could understand.
This is actually very simple. The so-called distance between two people is often because they feel that they are not together, so they are slowly getting farther and farther away.
If one of them tries to break through the distance, the result will be different. The worst thing is that both of them feel that the distance is getting farther and farther, which would be a serious problem. Edward continued, "It wasn't until two years ago when an accident brought us together that I realized she had never understood why I stayed away from her. Did she not like her? I didn't know how long she had been sad about this. I realized that she also liked me..."
Fate is a thing that makes people feel inexplicable. If the two of them had not had that accident, they would have slowly separated on the road of life and would not have been together in the end.
However, God arranged that accident so that the two of them could be together alone, and put aside all concerns about status and position, so that the two could talk to each other in their hearts.
"What accident?" Ye Lang asked curiously.
"It was an expedition organized by the academy. We were divided into several groups to hunt monsters in the El Forest. We had to survive in the forest for half a month. That time, she accidentally got separated from the others, so I went to find her and found a way to leave."
"At that time, everyone thought we were dead, but how could I let her die..."
When Edward said this, his face showed a lot of tenderness, as if Kassa was right in front of him.
