After the award ceremony, Lynn received an invitation from Erin.

It happened that he also wanted to ask Erin to help investigate the information about Wilmot, so he happily went to the appointment.

Around dusk, Lynn came to the commercial street in the college.

Like most schools, the things in Inn College are much more expensive than outside, but because most of the students here don’t have the concept of “save some money” about money, and the recent lively event of the freshman competition, the commercial street is still crowded.

Perhaps because the award ceremony had just ended and the news had not yet spread completely, Lynn strolled on the commercial street without any strange gaze. Instead, he received many senior sisters with indescribable charming eyes.

Following the address she received, Lynn successfully found the open-air cafe located on the edge of the street but with a pretty good scenery. At the same time, she saw the girl who just sat there and did nothing and could become the focus of everyone.

Hearing the noise, Erin looked up slightly, greeted the waiter, handed the menu up, and then gently said hello to the young man sitting opposite her.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Champion."

"Good afternoon, Erin." Lynn didn't care about the joking title behind him, and just smiled and said, "I was deeply surprised by this invitation... So, is there something?"

"What's the accident?" Erin raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you only allowed to look for me and not me? Or do I have to ask for something to ask you to come out and meet me?"

"Not that, if you really want to find me, you can do it anytime. Even if you don't do anything, just sit here and wait until dark. The two of you looked up at the stars with your shoulders, and I have no objection." Lin Neng spread his hands and said, "So, should we order a cup of coffee and drink it until dark?"

Erin gave him a light look: "Okay, you're right."

She suddenly restrained the smile on her face, supported her arms on the table, folded her hands, held her chin, and looked extremely serious.

Then, she asked softly, "I want to know why you said that when you were on stage just now."

Lin Neng said calmly: "During the game, I was always the one I was not optimistic about, but I successfully won the final victory. If I don't give them a little counterattack, I can't teach them the truth that we must respect every opponent."

"I'm not talking about this." Erin pointed at herself and said, "I mean, why should you bring me with you and let others notice my existence?"

Before Lynn could answer, she said again: "Of course, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I don't hate this feeling, and I can even say I am interested in it, but... I'm very curious why you do that."

"You can treat me as a label you use as a comparison to highlight your excellence; you could have made them look surprised and envious, and those eyes that can lift you up high are all focused on yourself, but you did not do this, but instead shared it with me."

"This behavior makes a gap appear in the light you should have bathed in, and makes the praise you should have been given a huge loss, and makes the things that should have been born perfectly have cracks that should not exist, and you cannot even get any benefits from this behavior...at least, I can't think of any benefits."

Erin asked in confusion: "So, my dear fiancé, can you tell me why you did this?"

This is the first time Erin has taken the initiative to question Lynn's actions.

Because she used all her life's wisdom and thought about all possible subsequent events, but she could never find any place that would benefit Lynn from what she did.

But in her understanding of Lynn, the latter was never a person who did everything he thought of and never considered the consequences. Instead, he pursued the interests of the consequences even more than herself.

Therefore, Erin didn't understand Lynn's behavior, but she was unwilling to let go of this incident that she could not control. Therefore, she was extremely eager to know why Lynn did this for.

So, this invitation and question were created.

Faced with Erin's doubts, Lynn only whispered.

"You said just now that if you want to find me, you don't need to find any reason. Similarly, there are some things that don't need reason. If you want to do it, you will do it naturally."

“……”

Erin didn't say anything, just stared at Lynn's eyes.

After a moment, she asked very seriously: "Is there really no reason?"

"Really?"

“……”

It was Lynn's turn to remain silent.

After a long time, he spread his hands and smiled.

"Okay, there's still some reason."

"If you talk about the cause, it's really hard to explain, because before I went on stage, I hadn't prepared any speeches at all, and those words were woven after I came on stage... In that, there was no thing about you," he said softly, "But after I saw you in the audience, it jumped out naturally, so I added it."

"As for why you want to share this glory too..."

Lynn thought for a long time before continuing: "I remember when we were very young, we would exchange new toys we obtained together, or communicate what we did today, and what troubles our father and mother encountered - we were always sharing things with each other, so maybe when we were on stage, our physical memory was accidentally triggered."

"That's different." Erin put down her arm and hid her tight palms in the blind spot of her vision under the table. "Share toys and exchange information because we can gain emotions called "happiness" from it, but did your behavior just now make you feel "happy"?"

"No, no!" Her words rarely fluctuated slightly, but they quickly calmed down, "because I can't give you feedback as soon as possible, and if I don't take the initiative to come to you, you may even fall into an emotion called "lost" because of the lack of feedback."

"In terms of probability, the disadvantages of this matter are far greater than the benefits you may get... You are a little lacking in consideration."

Erin raised her eyes slightly, and the sea of ​​eyes was filled with disappointment.

Originally, she thought Lynn was one of the people who were most similar to her, because they all thought about anything with absolute reason, and every step of the fall was a calculation in the most perfect direction.

It is also because of this that during this period, although Erin realized that Lynn was out of her control, she did not make any extreme actions, and even gave a certain degree of tolerance and permission to it - because she knew that keeping wild animals in a cage would only make them slowly forget that they still had sharp fangs.

In fact, what she did was indeed effective, and Lynn was indeed developing in the direction she wanted.

But today, Lynn's reckless move disappointed her.

She was originally thinking that the other party might have had something more special to consider, but the answer she got was such an extremely "naive" impulsive behavior.

"Of course, this reason is just one."

Lynn's words made Erin raise his head again.

I hope to ripples in her eyes again, and I hope that his harder speech would appear.

However, she didn't wait.

Lynn just looked at her quietly, her eyes still not blinking, as if she wanted her to see something through the window of her heart.

“…”

The girl realized something.

For the first time, she shifted her gaze that was always proud while looking at others.

But the next second, she turned back.

"You can't have that kind of idea."

Lynn didn't speak.

Erin stood up suddenly, holding the table with his palms down, looking down at him, saying one word, one word.

"Absolutely, no."

Lynn still didn't speak.

“……”

Erin took a deep breath, calmed down her loss of composure, and said coldly.

"Lynn, I'm extremely disappointed with you."

Turning around, she walked through the boy's position in heavy steps, avoiding the waiter who served the drinks, staying away from the center of the crowd, ready to leave this place that disappointed her.

However, when she put her hand on the fence door, she seemed to have lost her strength and could not push it away.

Erin stared at her hand in a daze, but it didn't seem like she was really looking at her hand. Instead, she listened to the connected heart through her fingertips.

——I can't leave.

——Why can’t I leave?

——No reason, I just can’t leave!

——No, I need a reason to do anything.

——But some things just don’t need a reason!!

——Far, there must be!!

——That..... "I cannot lose the general whom I chose, who may set foot on the battlefield for me, and will definitely return to victory."..... Is this reason OK!!

“……”

Erin turned back quietly.

Lynn was still sitting there, staring at the steaming black tea that had just been served in front of him.

At that moment, she felt that her eyes seemed to be covered by magic, and she could see the sadness on the boy.

Strong, surging, overwhelming.

The overwhelming influence seemed to implicate her, unable to break free or extricate herself.

The girl slowly closed her eyes.

......

"Pu"

The teacup was picked up, and after taking a sip, he put it down again.

Lin En looked up slightly and looked at the girl whose face was calm.

Erin did not meet him as usual, and just said, "Give me a reason... why did he... have that idea of ​​me?"

"Don't say anything to me, 'Some things don't require a reason' or something, maybe sometimes it does make sense, but - I don't accept such an explanation."

“……”
