Chapter 103 Chapter 103
"I didn't," "she" said.
"He" looked at me intently: "Then why don't you dare look at me?"
Xia Meng lowered her eyes. She wanted to look up at him, to give him a comforting look, to tell him that she didn't dislike him.
But my body was out of control and I didn't dare to look up at "him".
She couldn't remember how many times she had been rejected.
Before, she watched from afar and felt heartbroken.
Being in the situation at this moment, I couldn't help but sigh.
On the one hand, I sigh that this "Li Zhou" is really unlucky. He could like anyone else, but he has to like this person who approaches him with ulterior motives.
On the other hand, she couldn't help scolding "him" for being so stubborn. Since "she" had already said that she didn't like her, why was he still so stubborn in pursuing "her" and insisting on trying to curry favor with her?
But the next moment, she understood——
"She" did not answer "he".
When “he” didn’t get any response from “her” for a long time, he finally let go of her hand in frustration.
"I'm sorry." "He" took a step back and said, "I didn't expect you to be so reluctant... Well, I won't do anything to embarrass you again."
After saying this, “he” turned and left without waiting for “her” response.
Xia Meng's gaze was always fixed on a certain point in the distance.
Only when she heard his footsteps far away did she slowly turn her head and look at his receding back.
Watched for a long time.
It took so long that Xia Meng gradually realized what was happening.
It’s not that I don’t like “him”.
It's impossible to like "him" forever.
It turns out that what "Li Zhou" said was true.
“She” really didn’t dare to look at “him”.
Because once you see, many things in your eyes can no longer be hidden.
After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze.
Turn around, walk across the corridor and into the classroom.
As soon as I sat down, the classmate next to me turned around and joked, "Huh? Why didn't I see your big tail with me today?"
Xia Meng looked up.
My classmate laughed and said, "Isn't Li Zhou the one who loves following you? It's really strange. I've never seen him take the initiative to get close to any of the guides."
Someone nearby also joined in the fun: "Are you two really not going to take a compatibility test? Maybe it's super high. I think you two are perfect for each other."
Xia Meng said nothing.
After a while, she lowered her eyes to look at the textbook open in front of her.
Xia Meng heard herself say, "He won't come here anymore."
The classmate was surprised: "No way? You really rejected him?"
Someone lamented: "Ah~ Why? I feel like he really likes you!"
However, although they were puzzled, they did not force themselves to delve too much into it.
We are all adults now, and everyone understands that when it comes to love, it is useless if only one person is moved. Only when both parties are moved can there be a story.
After that, "Li Zhou" did not appear again.
"He" seems to really do what he says.
In front of everyone, "he" never took the initiative to approach "her" again.
When they met in public, he did not come forward, but just looked at "her" from a distance and quickly looked away.
It was as if “they” really returned to the status of ordinary senior and junior students.
The bridge is the bridge and the road is the road, the two have nothing to do with each other.
Only Xia Meng knew that this was not the case.
She knew that "he" would look at her secretly again when no one was paying attention.
She knew that "she" would look over quietly when "he" turned and left.
She knew that from then on, a cup of coffee would still appear at the door of "her" dormitory on time every morning.
She knew that someone behind her was saying, "Since Li Zhou doesn't want to pursue her anymore, can I give it a try?" Li Zhou replied casually but not to be ignored, "If you have the guts, then give it a try."
She also knew that she would receive urgent messages from "the other side" on her mobile phone from time to time, warning her to capture "Li Zhou" as soon as possible.
“She” would always reply: I know, I’m trying my best.
Have you really tried your best?
Obviously, if “she” just made a promise, “he” would have agreed a hundred percent.
Xia Meng realized that "she" might... really be protecting "him".
In her own way, she is protecting him from disaster.
…
Unfortunately, Lorenzo is not easy to fool.
Until this day, an exchange student from the UK transferred into the department.
"My name is Mai Xi."
The bright and lively little girl stood on the podium, speaking Chinese which was not very fluent, and looked at everyone with a smile.
"They sent me to help you!"
After class, the little girl followed "her" with an innocent and bright smile.
Xia Meng turned around and looked at the girl who was completely different from the one in her memory.
The eyes, with similar outlines, were filled with a complexity and sophistication that was completely different from when he was young.
Youth and liveliness are pretended, as is innocence.
Xia Meng could see that Mai Xi smiled like the other boys in that class back then.
The young soldiers trained in that kind of place have no feelings, no likes or dislikes, and all their emotional expressions are for the purpose of completing the mission perfectly.
Xia Meng frowned: "No need. Go back."
Unfortunately, she has no say in this matter.
Maisie blinked and looked closer at her. "It's been a month, and you haven't made any progress. Mr. Lorenzo said that if you can't complete the task, I will go."
Xia Meng narrowed her eyes: "Do you think you can do it?"
Mai Xi shrugged. "If he doesn't even like you, it means that rank is not important to him. Or maybe your aloof personality is not what he likes."
Xia Meng raised her eyebrows.
Mai Xi said calmly: "Then let's try a different taste, what if? Right."
As a result, within two days, Mai Xi returned home empty-handed.
Early in the morning, in the empty classroom, Xia Meng was reading a book by the window with her head down.
Mai Xi sat down dejectedly in front of her desk and said dejectedly, "I give up. He's as hard as a rock! I finally understand why you've been working hard for a month and haven't made any progress. This wouldn't be possible for anyone else, right? Could he be interested in men?"
Xia Meng found it a little funny.
Stone?
That "Li Zhou"?
The "Li Zhou" who can't help wagging his tail as soon as "she" looks at him?
She raised her hand and took a sip of the coffee on the table, curling her lips: "It's really difficult."
Mai Xi held up her chin and said, "I've heard that quite a few people in school think he likes you. But when I asked him today, he said that wasn't the case. Well, I'd say you should try harder. After all, you're the most likely candidate. How about I help you create some opportunities?"
Xia Meng raised her eyes.
Can't refuse.
Mai Xi is Lorenzo's eyes.
…
Mai Xi is very active.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the next day, the Black Tower provided a great opportunity.
The Black Tower's special service department plans to recruit several special guides from the Guide Academy.
Mai Xi volunteered and did not forget to bring Xia Meng along.
The Black Tower’s special service department... Li Zhou is also there.
The two had only met at school before.
He has two jobs and doesn't spend much time in school, so the two of them don't have many opportunities to meet.
If we really enter the Black Tower, we will be together day and night.
Xia Meng could only pray that her application would not be approved.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Both she and Maisie entered.
What's even more unfortunate is that it was exactly the special forces team that Li Zhou was in.
Li Zhou is not the only familiar person in this team.
When Xia Meng found out who the captain of Team 7 was, even she was surprised.
It’s Wang Xiangyi.
Her real-life master.
I didn’t expect that Old Wang from this place was still staying in the Black Tower.
Team 7 is the only special forces team led by a guide.
Wang Xiangyi does not have much say. Looking at this team, half of the members are students. It looks more like a place to train interns for other special forces teams.
Only after she came in did she realize that when Heita assigned her and Maixi to the seventh team, he didn't even ask his opinion.
A notice from above directly placed the two people in place.
Wang Xiangyi was not happy at first.
I feel that these two girls are young and have little experience, so it is not appropriate for them to join the special forces.
Fortunately, Xia Meng and Mai Xi only look weak, but their strength is real.
After all, he came from an orphanage. Even if he concealed his true strength and only revealed two or three points, it was enough to impress people.
So I accepted their joining.
Mai Xi is very good at handling things.
On the first day of joining, he enthusiastically bought milk tea for all his teammates.
Even at this time, he did not forget to create opportunities for Xia Meng to get close to Li Zhou.
She picked up the last cup and handed it to Xia Meng: "I just saw Li Zhou go to the fire escape to make a phone call. Can you give this cup to him?"
Xia Meng originally wanted to refuse, but her hands were still out of her control and she took it steadily.
Holding the milk tea, I walked along the corridor towards the stairwell.
As soon as she opened the door, someone grabbed her arm from the side.
Xia Meng raised her eyes and met "Li Zhou's" eyes as expected.
Li Zhou stared at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion and unbelievable joy. He asked earnestly, "Why did you apply to come here? Is it because of me?"
Xia Meng sighed inwardly.
She slowly pulled her arm out of his palm and put the milk tea into his hand.
"It's because of you." "She" said.
But before "he" could smile with joy, he was brought back to his original form by "her" the next second.
"I don't want to come, but I can't." "She" said calmly, "There are some things I should explain to you first."
Li Zhou slowly put away his smile, lowered his eyes to look at the milk tea in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Is it because of that Mai Xi?"
"He" has always been smart and observant.
"She" never explained anything, but "he" vaguely sensed something.
"Xia Meng" did not answer "him".
Instead, she looked at him quietly and said, "I hope you will continue to maintain your current distance."
"Why?" "He" stared at "her" with eyes as sharp as torches, and refused to give in.
You can't fool "him" by lying.
"Xia Meng" really couldn't hide, so she could only close her eyes and sigh deeply.
After a moment, "she" seemed to have made some kind of decision.
She reached out and pulled him over, then leaned her head close to his ear and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I'll only say this once. Li Zhou, many people are watching you, and many people want to use various means to control you. The most direct and effective way is to use the guides to tie you down. So, don't fall in love with me, or any guide. Only in this way can you be safe."
That's been said bluntly enough.
The only thing missing was pointing the finger at her and saying that there was something wrong with her.
After saying this, “she” was about to step away, but “he” grabbed her from behind.
"He" tilted his head and stared at "her". At this moment, the distance between them was only a few inches.
Xia Meng could even clearly see her own reflection in "his" eyes.
"Li Zhou" stared at "her" without blinking.
"What if I say I'm not afraid of danger?"
Xia Meng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Is this the reason why S-class Sentinels are so fearless?
Lust blinds the mind, young man!
The atmosphere was somewhat frozen.
Then, Xia Meng heard herself answering word by word:
"Then you will regret it."
