"Thank you."
Lu Mian admired Raiden Mei's cute appearance, and did not explain his behavior in a tactless way, "Look, the same piece of paper will produce different results under different uses. It may be a piece of waste paper thrown into the trash can, or it may be a beautiful flower to express your feelings.
"Your ability is like this piece of paper. You must know that what is important is never the paper, but the hands that turn the paper into a thousand shapes and the people behind the hands. This is my answer, so keep going.
"Besides, the Herrscher who is your 'one heart and one mind' won't harm you no matter what, right?"
People who are already independent generally don't need other people's opinions.
Because there are some things you won’t understand unless you experience them yourself.
However, after listening to Lu Mian's advice and looking at the beautiful paper rose in her hand, Mei Lei Dian felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, and an extremely beautiful smile appeared on her face.
Then, this trip was the right one.
Lu Mian quietly watched the changes in Raiden Mei's expression, pulled out a document from a pile of books on the table and pushed it over, "Of course, if Mei still can't get rid of the confusion, then take a look at this."
Hearing this, Mei Raiden stopped smiling, put down the paper rose, and picked up the document with both hands.
When she could really see the contents of the document clearly, her pupils shrank slightly, and her jade fingers pinching the edge of the document unconsciously squeezed the paper hard, causing it to wrinkle.
This is because it clearly records the course of events and the entire truth of the "Thunder Dragon Horse Economic Fraud Case".
It turns out that Dad really didn't do that kind of thing...
"Is this true?" Mei Raiden didn't know whether she was more surprised or angry, and she didn't know what expression to show. Her voice was slightly cold.
At this point, Lu Mian did not say any more consoling words, but directly affirmed:
"This document was compiled and printed from the Destiny database of the anti-entropy 'hostile organization'. It is basically true."
"That is to say, my father's imprisonment and all the things that happened to me were caused by this woman named 'Cocolia'." After getting Lu Mian's definite confirmation, Raiden Mei murmured.
At the same time, her temperament quietly changed, and the light purple in her glass eyes became more and more enchanting.
The atmosphere around gradually became solemn.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After exactly three seconds, the mysterious aura surrounding Raiden Mei was about to reach its peak.
At this moment, she started as if waking up from a dream, shook her head, and forcibly suppressed the excited and complicated emotions in her heart, and forced herself to calm down.
The girl gasped with fear on her face, her breath sweet as orchid, and she couldn't help but secretly observe the expression of the man sitting behind the desk.
However, until the end, she only saw an unchanging expression on the other person's handsome face:
A smile, an unreserved smile, like the warm yet not dazzling smile that hangs high in the blue sky in response to the sunlight.
Witnessing this smile, it’s as if all problems are no longer problems.
As she thought about it, her still fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down.
After a while, Mei Raiden finally calmed down and put down the document in her hand. She suddenly asked out of some unknown emotion:
"Lu Mian, aren't you afraid of me?"
"This is such a silly question," Lu Mian smiled even though he faced the Herrscher Mei without any panic. "Hasn't the answer to the question been revealed to us through your actions?"
Some things are self-evident and need no refutation.
Just like a normal person, even if he or she does not prefer light, will never think that light is a scary thing.
Suddenly he found out that this bastard was the culprit who framed his biological father and put him in jail and messed up his originally wonderful life, but he was still able to suppress his emotions for others despite his extreme anger.
What is there to be afraid of a "silly" girl like this?
The deeper meaning in Lu Mian's words was not difficult to understand, and Raiden Mei could feel it without having to guess.
Obviously, these were not pleasant words that could easily stir up people's emotions, but the girl's nose felt sore and a moist light flashed between her eyes.
She raised her chin slightly, twitched her nose, and blinked fiercely, then spoke with a trembling voice and a hint of teasing:
"Ahh, you are really 'gentle'. Are you always like this to other girls?"
Oh boy, a life-threatening question?
After all, Lu Mian was someone who could engage in a tug-of-war with Alicia, so he wouldn't be stumped by such a small question.
He immediately put on a "surprised" look and said, "Okay, okay, thank you for your reminder, Mei. I will definitely use it for the next time!"
"Ah? So bluntly bad? But, surprisingly, it's not offensive at all, hehe." Before she could finish her words, Mei Raiden stood up lightly and trotted towards the door.
All that was left to Lu Mian was a back view, playfully swaying hair, and a gentle farewell.
The words floated down to the ground, and even more so than falling into the heart, causing a slight itch.
That’s great, now she looks more like a young girl.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Mian stood up again. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked out the window at the dark sky again, and immediately decided to get off work.
But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a mature and beautiful figure at the door of the health room, leaning against the door frame.
Who else could this mature woman with fiery red hair and an explosive body be other than Himeko Murata?
Seeing this, Lu Mian, who had just stood up, sat back in his chair silently.
He finally realized that it would be difficult to get off work normally today.
What to do? Work overtime.
-----------------
"Comrade Xiao Lu, just let me see it too~" Wuliangta Jizi placed the pair of weapons in front of her chest on the desk, and deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice.
In this regard, Lu Mian, who was forced to be a bound spirit for a day, remained unmoved and acted in a stern manner, "Teacher Wuliangta Jizi, please respect yourself. And if you don't tell me your problem and just let me see you, how can I know where you are 'itching' and need treatment?"
Wuliangta Jizi raised her eyebrows when she heard Lu Mian's words, which became somewhat rhythmic as he deliberately emphasized certain parts of his voice.
Where is the itch that needs treatment?
How could she, who was already almost mature, not fail to hear the teasing in these words? However, she did not feel offended by it. Instead, she straightened up and became serious. She propped her face with one hand and spoke softly in a negotiating tone:
"Seriously, no kidding, I think your psychological counseling is pretty mysterious, so please give it to me, I also have psychological problems."
After hearing this, Lu Mian looked Wuliangta Jizi up and down.
Well, she is a red-haired, older woman with an extraordinarily beautiful appearance, but she has been single for a long time. There is often a sense of resentment and pity between her eyebrows and eyes. She is the "Salvia dog" that can be seen everywhere in the world.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, Wuliangta Jizi shrank her shoulders and said, "I always feel like you are thinking about something bad."
“Ha, how could that be? It’s just the medical technique of looking, smelling, asking and palpating.” Lu Mian responded.
After watching quietly for a while, he continued to speak mysteriously, as if telling fortunes:
"From what I've seen from observing your face, you often have a sense of confusion in your eyes, Mr. Wuliangta Jizi. Maybe there's some important question that you haven't found the corresponding truth for yet, right?"
Hearing this, Wuliangta Jizi, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Lu Mian, only to see that the other person only had a flawless smile on his face that did not reveal any true emotion.
Apart from that, nothing else can be seen.
Wuliangta Jizi still doesn't know the truth about her father's death. Although she has been able to let go of some of the related obsessions due to some experiences, if she really has the opportunity to know what happened that year, she will definitely not refuse.
Therefore, Lu Mian's words just now accurately hit the pain deeply hidden in her heart.
However, there is still one thing that is unclear to Wuliangta Jizi.
How did Lu Mian know about this?
Logically speaking, there is no possibility that he would know even a little bit about this kind of thing...
Feeling confused, Wuliangta Jizi's eyes flickered and she lightly bit her moist red lips with her pearly teeth.
Could it be that this is really just a misunderstanding caused by coincidence?
Or is this really just a guess based on the psychiatrist's skills and some magical medical techniques of observation, listening, questioning and palpation?
If it were before, Wuliangta Jizi would never have believed such a thing.
But now, considering the strange "brainwashed" behavior of the female students who had seen Lu Mian, she felt that it was still very likely.
This kid is really something.
Not sure, check again.
Chapter 4 Touch Your Stigmata (Two in One)
Wuliangta Jizi was frightened by Lu Mian and her facial expression changed several times, becoming very complicated.
Lu Mian saw it all, and the corner of his mouth, which was already slightly upturned, jumped up a pixel further, looking calm and composed.
Relying on the foresight brought by a time traveler's knowledge of the "plot", he also knew the life experience of Himeko Murata and relevant information about her father "Ryusuke Murata".
However, it’s the same as when facing Raiden Mei just now, it’s hard to just say it and expect people to believe it without specific data or information.
Therefore, Lu Mian, who knew what Wuliangta Jizi was expecting, acted as a riddle teller.
He no longer mentioned any useful information, but instead began to repeat the same old things like a charlatan:
"Muraita Himeko-sensei, do you often suddenly feel 'empty, lonely, and cold' in your daily life?"
"Yes, that's true." Wuliangta Jizi, who had not yet reacted, nodded seriously.
She is an old dog, how could she not feel empty, lonely and cold.
After receiving a positive response, Lu Mian stroked his smooth chin, "Then do you still always try to numb yourself and use this to get rid of the 'awake' state?"
"Oh my god, what a miracle doctor!" Wuliangta Jizi, whose lifestyle was accurately described, echoed this.
The world is in turmoil, and heroes are as numerous as crucian carp swimming across the river. One after another, there is never a shortage of geniuses.
But no matter what, geniuses are only a minority, and this world is still dominated by people with mediocre talents.
This is the case with Himeko Murata. She does not have outstanding qualifications. At the same time, because she became a Valkyrie and underwent the "artificial stigma implantation" transformation surgery at a relatively late age, her body's adaptability to Honkai energy is far less than that of an underage girl, and she suffers more side effects.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will only have a few years to live...
Yes, she didn't have much time left.
If it were just that, it would be fine.
But the problem is that the hidden injuries left by repeated battles and the erosion of Honkai energy brought by artificial stigmata together constitute severe pain that ordinary people cannot imagine. It tortures them day and night and there is no cure at all. Even painkillers are useless.
She often becomes insane and unable to sleep because of the pain, and a big part of the reason she likes to drink is that she hopes to get drunk so as to endure the pain.
Ok?
As she was thinking, she inexplicably thought of drinking and tilted her head slightly, as if she finally discovered something wrong.
Lu Mian's smile became more sincere, as if he was trying to sell something:
"I know a special kind of 'wheat juice' that can solve all your problems. Would you like to try it together?"
At this point, Wuliangta Jizi understood that the core purpose of Lu Mian's seemingly interesting rhetoric was to trick her into drinking the wheat juice that was probably also called "wine".
The mature woman rolled her eyes helplessly, revealing her charm, but she did not refuse.
She is an old alcoholic.
What's more, people speak the truth when they are drunk. Once she knocks down this mature and steady young man in front of her, what will she want to do? No, just ask whatever she wants to ask.
Just like that, Lu Mian, who had been working overtime for a long time, finally got off work by taking the opportunity to drink wheat juice with Wuliangta Jizi.
The two people, each with their own thoughts, took advantage of the dark night and came side by side to Wuliangta Jizi's teacher dormitory.
The living room was pitch black. Wuliangta Jizi turned on the light and glanced around casually.
Seeing that there was no movement in the bedroom, she casually found slippers for herself and Lu Mian, kicked off her high heels, and walked forward in her slippers, guessing:
"Kiana and the other two should be out shopping, so it's convenient for the two of us. Don't be polite, just sit anywhere."
The original intention of establishing St. Freya Academy was to hope that the Valkyries would understand "why the world is beautiful" and learn to protect themselves, and not become cold and cruel machines in someone's hands.
Therefore, in addition to teaching and various indicators, it is very tolerant and has established many entertainment facilities that are enough to make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, thus forming a commercial street.
When the long-awaited vacation or school break comes, students can enjoy life with their friends.
Although Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya are still somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of life that combines entertainment with studying in a school that is usually used only for studying, it does not prevent them from joining in.
Therefore, Wuliangta Jizi is also a reasonable guess.
Lu Mian glanced in the direction of the girls' bedroom, without responding. He just changed his shoes silently, followed Wuliangta Jizi, walked all the way to the soft sofa in the living room and sat down, without being polite.
Seeing this, Wuliangta Jizi nodded without comment, then turned around and walked to the refrigerator, picked up two bottles of wheat juice, and came back to sit next to Lu Mian.
