After hearing this explanation which was difficult to evaluate but somewhat reasonable, Lu Mian felt helpless but said nothing.
It's so classic, even more classic than the little brain-wrestling problem where my mom and my girlfriend fell into the water together.
What can I do? The palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh.
Don't make random choices.
“Puchi—but the choice for both of them is so difficult? Then let me see what you will do in the future.” Karin, who also knew Lu Mian’s dilemma, chuckled, and her words seemed to imply something.
Lu Mian was not moved at all by this, and said in a gentle voice:
“I think that everyone who loves the night sky deeply cannot really choose between the stars and the bright moon.”
Hearing the voice, Karen raised her head silently and stared at Lu Mian's handsome face.
A long time, a long time.
You know what? I have found my "night sky".
She did not say these words easily, but let them slowly dissipate until they disappeared.
The only thing left in the air was the intoxicating fragrance of the purple iris and a confident sentence:
"If you are in any trouble, come to me; if you are in any perilous danger, keep me in mind, and I will be there soon.
"This time, it's my turn to stand in front of you to protect you and shield you from the wind and rain, Mian."
The words disappeared with the wind, like a stone dropped into a lake, causing waves that touch people's hearts.
Lu Mian sniffed the floral scent in the air, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The night is a good night, and the man is a good man.
-----------------
St. Freya Academy, the living room of Himeko Murata's dormitory.
Lu Mian, who had nothing to do and was wandering around alone in the virtual reality, slowly opened his eyes and returned to the real world.
Before I could get over the strange feeling of being detached from the two worlds, I saw Kiana approaching me curiously:
"Amien, Amien, who is that girl who looks very similar to me and gives me a familiar feeling?"
He looks like a curious baby who has grown up, which is really cute.
Lu Mian didn't deliberately hide anything. He just rubbed Kiana's little head and introduced:
"Her name is Kallen, Kallen Kaslana, and she is from the same Kaslana family as you."
Kallen Kaslana, the Saint of Destiny five hundred years ago, is not only famous throughout the world but also well-known to every qualified Valkyrie.
Even Mei Raiden and Bronya, who were studying at St. Freya's Academy, knew his name.
It’s a pity that perhaps because it was late at night, none of them were present.
The only person present was Kiana, who was extremely curious and couldn't sleep until the problem was solved.
And it just so happened that the history about "Karen" had not been told yet. She didn't know Karen at all, and didn't think there was anything special about this name.
"I was wondering why that little sister named Karin looks so much like me and seems so familiar to me. Turns out we're a family, hehe." Kiana scratched her head and laughed foolishly twice.
I don't know if I'm really happy to have met someone from the Kaslana family, or if I'm a little proud of my own keen perception.
But she was absolutely right anyway, they would become a family sooner or later.
Well, a real family.
Lu Mian quietly admired Kiana's cute appearance, smiling without saying a word.
After a while, Kiana, who had been very happy for a long time, seemed to realize something and turned to look at the clock on the wall.
I saw that the pointer on it was pointing exactly to eleven o'clock.
Although this time cannot be considered as staying up late, it is already very late.
She stared for a moment, then looked away and asked tentatively:
"Teacher Amian, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to take a rest or continue studying for a while?"
Everything is good; everything is acceptable to her. Perhaps this is caused by some mysterious power...
Lu Mian shook his head, speaking earnestly, "Studying is important, but it's not so important that you have to study at this time. You should just take a rest.
"Or do you want to use this tactic to make Theresa feel bad? The kind that looks pitiful with a pale face and big dark circles under the eyes?"
"Uh, forget it," Kiana seemed to recall some bad scenes, shuddered and shook her head repeatedly, "Let's take a rest."
Lu Mian nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "That's right, Dabao, you go to bed early, and I will go to bed early too. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day."
"Well, let's continue studying tomorrow?" Kiana nodded first, then asked.
"Of course, or today's teaching method?"
"Great!"
-----------------
It is difficult to describe in detail the various things in life, but time keeps moving forward without stopping even for a moment.
Several days passed since I first entered virtual reality.
There are only a few days left until Kiana's make-up exam.
After many days, it's time to look at it with new eyes.
Even though Kiana at this moment cannot be said to have been completely transformed compared to before, she has made great progress.
At least if this trend continues, there will be no problem with the make-up exam.
However......
After all, living people are not machines that can perform all tasks precisely and always maintain a good condition.
Lu Mian could clearly feel that after so many days of studying, Kiana had developed a feeling of fatigue.
The girl was very sensible and clear-headed, but she didn't show it on the surface. However, her subconscious and impetuous movements and state had already betrayed her.
Lu Mian had nothing to say about this.
It's normal to feel burnout when facing work or studies, but it's really problematic if you try to suppress it.
Tighten when it should be tight, loosen when it should be loose.
Only in this way can it be called healthy.
It would be more accurate to say that the other party had been able to hold it in until now before getting tired, which really surprised him greatly.
At noon, Kiana's dormitory.
Kiana sat at her desk, facing countless exercises, tapping her head with her pen from time to time.
As I was knocking, I felt someone gently grab my wrist.
I looked up in surprise and found it was Lu Mian.
He just chuckled, his brows were full of gentleness and a hint of ridicule, and his words were also light-hearted and humorous:
"Oh, silly girl, you should study hard, why are you suddenly 'self-harming' for no reason?"
Kiana let Lu Mian grab her wrist and did not resist.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end, she said nothing.
This girl, who was originally cheerful and lively, acted like a sullen person this time.
Seeing this, Lu Mian loosened his grip on her hand and shook his head with a chuckle.
Seemingly helpless, but actually to the point:
"Do you feel that you have learned so much and done so many questions, but the improvement is not as big as you expected, and you are afraid that the score of the make-up exam will not improve, so you lose your enthusiasm? Do you still feel a little tired?"
After these words, Kiana, who was originally bent over the desk, straightened up.
Looking at her funny expression of surprise and joy, I'm afraid she's about to blurt out:
"A miracle doctor!"
Lu Mian smiled, and he had never heard of her before, but his words did not contain even a hint of joking, "Well, let's not study today, just take it as a reward for your hard work for so many days and take a day off.
"Don't think about these boring exercises now. Come and think about where we should go to play later, okay?"
The sound is soft, like the sound of nature.
Kiana was as surprised as a traveler who suddenly came across an oasis while walking in the endless desert, but soon she became hesitant:
"Is this good?"
"What's wrong with this?" Lu Mian stood up, took two steps to stand behind Qiana, and then hugged her across the back of the chair, coaxing her, "As the saying goes, more haste makes waste.
"When I took the college entrance examination in my early years, I didn't have to study all the books. I just needed to combine work and rest. Let's go?"
Kiana, who was already a little bit annoyed, was finally persuaded. She immediately patted her face and stood up, "Then I'll listen to you, Amian. Let's go!"
Afterwards, the two of them discussed it briefly, packed up their things, and headed for the commercial street in St. Freya Academy.
Along the way, Lu Mian was secretly thinking about his next journey.
As we all know, there are many ways to entertain yourself.
For example, Muliangta Jiko likes to drink. Originally, she just used alcohol to numb the lingering pain in her body, but now it has become a hobby.
Even if the pain has disappeared without a trace, I can't quit it.
Theresa, on the other hand, prefers to relieve stress by reading the harmonious and childlike way of Homo comics.
By analogy, Bronya likes playing games, and Raiden Mei is more likely to like cooking...
So, what kind of entertainment does Kiana like?
Lu Mian actually had never thought about this question in detail, but to be honest, the answer was not difficult to guess.
It's nothing more than eating some delicious food and having some fun.
In this case, itinerary arrangements will be very simple.
St. Freya Academy, Commercial Street.
Lu Mian, who seldom came to the commercial street, walked through the crowd holding Kiana's hand, despite the kind and enthusiastic gazes from the people around him, while looking for his next destination.
Because it was very early in the morning, they both had a good breakfast.
Therefore, there is no need for dining and you can just focus on finding entertainment venues.
But having said that, Kiana, who hadn't been out to play for a long time, couldn't help but buy a lot of snacks that looked delicious.
Took a bite, didn’t taste good—passed it to Lu Mian.
He took a bite and it was delicious—he passed it to Lu Mian as well.
The girl's face showed a rare sunny and cheerful smile that was no different from her usual beautiful smile.
Lu Mian watched from the side and laughed along, but his expression was filled with helplessness.
Well, he thought he probably wouldn't have to worry about lunch or afternoon tea this time.
I am full just by doing this.
They walked and ate along the way, and after about ten minutes, Lu Mian and Kiana arrived outside a game hall.
Unlike the bustling other places, it is quite quiet here.
Come to think of it, boys are generally more interested in such arcade game halls.
But it is not enough to attract the female students in St. Freya Academy.
It's not surprising that it's so quiet.
Lu Mian was not particularly obsessed with this arcade game hall. In fact, he had already envisioned several places to play, and he just happened to find one of them.
If all else fails, you can go to an Internet cafe or some similar place to hang out and play.
But before that, let's ask the opinions of our companions.
Thinking this in his mind, Lu Mian turned his head to look at Kiana who was showing off with a bag of snacks, and asked softly:
"Kiana, are you interested in this arcade?"
It's no wonder that Kiana is different from other girls. She is interested in entertainment venues that normal female classmates are not very interested in. She nodded vigorously with her eyes shining again and again.
