On the grass next to the central square of Blue Water College, Shen Yun was lying on his back with his legs crossed and his hands behind his head, holding a piece of green grass in his mouth. The air in early spring was still a bit cold, but mixed with the faint fragrance of grass around him, he breathed in There is a refreshing feeling in the nose that makes people feel refreshed.
Sean was half-sitting on the ground leaning on a tree, wiping the rapier in his hand with concentration. With a crisp sound of "clang", the rapier was sheathed. Sean's eyes were cast on the blue sky. , suddenly whispered: "It's been almost a year..."
Chen Yun was startled, and then his eyes moved to the pretty figures of Zheng He Yu Qianqian and Kitty Girl fluttering butterflies not far away, and then he sighed: "Isn't it? It's been a year..."
Nearly a year has passed since I returned to the academy that day. I remember it was still late spring and early summer, but in the blink of an eye it was early spring again. For Shen Yun, Xiao En and others, this year has been unusual. Calm. It seems that nothing happened, but it seems that everyone is different...
After Sean's unexpected breakthrough that day, Yu Qianqian also successfully promoted to level 9 this year. Defi has also reached a bottleneck recently and is about to be promoted to level 8. Shen Yun has not changed much. He is just changing himself. He has become more proficient in using level 9 energy, and has trained the Brilliant Wings to be more obedient. Now, he is confident that his flying dexterity is not inferior to those of ordinary angels.
As for the others, Yitzhak has long since returned to the front line to participate in the battle. Last time there was news that he had made a lot of contributions and seemed to be promoted again. The Glasses and the others continued to practice in the academy. They met with each other at the last gathering. Speaking of which, it seems that there is still a long way to go before level 9, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through in a short time.
The bald dean has been surprisingly peaceful this year. He no longer runs around, but stays in the college every day to show off. Vice dean Wu Lan, on the other hand, has rarely seen him since the jihad. It seems that he is He replaced the bald dean and took charge of all external work.
After the Fallen Angel incident, Shen Yun felt that the atmosphere of the entire continent was different. Although Shen Yun could only access a small area of Blue Water City, he could tell from the increasing number of guards and combat workers in the city. Come out, Blue Water is actively preparing for the war. I remember once when chatting with Huck, the fat man once said that the prop workshop owned by the Chris family has begun to work overtime to produce props. The workshop that originally only made high-quality props has Started mass production of standard props, the smell of which even a political idiot like Shen Yun could smell.
These changes may not be obvious to civilians, but for soldiers like Shen Yun who are about to go to the front line, they are extremely sensitive.
Oh, by the way, there is one thing that must be mentioned here. After Shen Yun's suggestions and Huck's unremitting efforts, the fat man finally got permission to pursue Chris's mentor a few months ago. Although it was just a permission. But after all, it was Chris who admitted it herself, which made Huck excited but also a little proud, almost thinking that he had successfully won the beauty back.
Well, let us bless this fat man and hope that he will not do anything stupid...
In addition to these, there is one person who has undergone a particularly big change. At first, everyone who saw this change was surprised and unbelievable, but now, they are numb or accepting...
Thinking of this, Chen Yun suddenly sat up straight and waved to the girl who was laughing sweetly in the distance: "Mengmeng, come here~"
"Hey~" the girl responded, and then she jumped up to Chen Yun and smiled. She put her hands together mysteriously and stretched them out in front of Chen Yun and said, "Brother, what do you think is inside?"
"I guess there's nothing." Shen Yun replied with a slight smile.
"Oh, shouldn't everyone guess that there is a butterfly inside at this time?" The girl pouted slightly, and then opened her hands. As expected, there was nothing inside.
Seeing the girl's angry look, Shen Yun gently scratched the bridge of the girl's nose, and said with a smile: "You girl is like this every time. You can't bear to let those butterflies get trapped in your hands. Hehe, next time Remember to change the way you play."
"Ah! My brother is so annoying. I went to play with Sister Qianqian~" The girl pushed Chen Yun's arm, and then jumped towards Yu Qianqian. When she was far away, she didn't forget to turn around and go to Yu Qianqian. Shen Yun made a face.
"This little girl... she was still so obedient and well-behaved a year ago..." Shen Yun thought, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Yes, the lively and cute girl wearing an emerald green dress is cute. However, the little loli who was silent and shy back then has grown up now. Judging from her appearance, she is at least thirteen or fourteen years old. She is a pretty girl. This is due to the magic crystals of life and elemental spring water that Tifa has brought over the past year. Without the help of these things, the natural growth of the little girl would only have to wait hundreds of years. It took years to reach the current level.
Of course, growing up may not bring all good things. Although this little girl still looks like a good baby when there are outsiders, when facing close people like Shen Yun or Yu Qianqian, she will immediately become He became naughty and mischievous. In just one year, Shen Yun actually enjoyed the feeling of being a real older brother.
Sean's eyes also followed Mengmeng and looked at the scene of several girls playing. Sean's expression seemed to be in a trance. When Shen Yun saw it, he could only sigh softly: "Bingcube, you and Daifei What happened?"
In the past, the few people who came out were usually Yu Qianqian, Cat Girl and Da Fei playing with the little Lolita. However, in the past two months, Chen Yun has rarely seen Da Fei.
Hearing Shen Yun's question, Sean remained silent. Shen Yun did not rush him, but just watched Yu Qianqian and the others playing. If Sean was willing to talk about this kind of thing, then Shen Yun, as a brother, would naturally try his best to help. But if he doesn't want to say it, Shen Yun is really not suitable to interfere.
"Father..." Sean's lips moved. Seeing Shen Yun turn his head to look, he finally whispered: "Father, he doesn't agree..."
Chen Yun nodded. In fact, he had already had this suspicion. After returning from the Holy War, there was a secret commendation ceremony within the empire to commend everyone at Blue Water Academy for their outstanding performance in facing the fallen angels. Contribution. In addition to Shen Yun who was awarded the title of Viscount, others also received awards of varying degrees. The person who presided over the ceremony that day was Sean's father, Marquis Hughes. When it was the turn to wear the medal for Delphi, Shen Yun once There was a flash of disgust in his eyes. With Shen Yun's current strength, he absolutely did not believe that he would be wrong, and now Xiaonian's mouth clearly confirmed this.
"Is it because of appearance, strength, family background or personality?" Shen Yun was a little confused. Logically speaking, Defi didn't seem to have anything to be picky about on these points.
"I don't know..." Sean shook his head, his eyes full of confusion and confusion: "Father, you said that I and Delphi are not worthy!" Sean clenched his fists tightly, obviously unable to agree with this reason.
"Not worthy..." Shen Yun also frowned. This reason is a snake oil. You can say it any way, but there is no clear explanation. If this is the case, there seems to be no way to find a breakthrough.
After thinking about it, Shen Yun decided to ask Sean what he thought: "Then what are you going to do, just forget it?"
"impossible!"
Sean's voice suddenly raised, causing Yu Qianqian and the others to look over in surprise. Shen Yun waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and the girls continued to play, but they would look at Shen Yun from time to time.
"She and I can definitely do it!" Sean suddenly pulled out the rapier in his hand, and looked at the blade carefully against the sun. Then he put the sword back into its sheath. When he turned around, his face was full of determination.
"Ayun, I want to go to the front line!" Sean's voice was decisive.
Shen Yun looked at Sean in surprise. His expression was a little confused. He and Sean had reached level 9 a year ago, and after a year of getting familiar with each other, it was indeed time to go to the front line. However, this was different from him and Defi. Something to do with...?
"Father, force me to get married..."
Shen Yun suddenly realized, and he understood it when he said this. The drama of escaping from marriage has been poorly played on TV. But in other stories, the woman escapes from marriage. Unexpectedly, it changed when Sean came here. Tsk, tsk, for The girl who was engaged to Sean would cry if she ran away from marriage and went to the front line...
On one side was his brother and friend, and on the other was an unknown girl. Shen Yun just complained a few words and let go. Anyway, the girl had nothing to lose. He couldn't stop Sean from pursuing happiness just because of this. .
Nodding, Shen Yun agreed with Sean's statement, but there was one thing that was not clear: "Didn't your father not allow you to go to the front line? Do you want to go secretly?"
Marquis Hughes disapproved of his son's martial arts practice, which was known to the entire imperial capital. Although Shen Yun was not a high-level executive, he was well aware of these gossips through Yu Qianqian. It was said that Sean had told His father proposed to go to the front line for training, but he was forcefully suppressed by the other party. Marquis Hughes was now in charge of the military department. If he didn't speak up, Sean would not be approved even if he followed the normal process, not to mention opening the back door. This is troublesome.
"I will talk to my father! This time, I can definitely do it!" Sean waved his right hand vigorously, as if to cheer himself up.
"Oh, then if you succeed, just say it and I'll go with you." Shen Yun nodded. He couldn't stay in Lanshui all the time. Now that the use of energy has reached a bottleneck, it's time to go out and take action.
Level 9 students of Blue Water Academy can study in the academy for at most one more year, and then they must go to the front line for training. Within one year, level 9 students can still go to the front line. They only need to apply some time in advance, and the academy will The trainees will be arranged to set off with the troops supporting the front line. During this period, the military headquarters will also arrange the trainees' military positions and organizational affiliations. Of course, if you do not die after one year of experience, you can also choose Returning to college to continue studying, it’s just that very few people choose to do so.
Sean didn't say anything to Shen Yun's words. He didn't even say hello to Yu Qianqian and the others before leaving with his sword in hand. Looking at his expressionless ice face, Shen Yun knew that tonight was the night at Marquis Hughes's house. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful. Lying back again, Chen Yun picked up a piece of grass from his hand and put it into his mouth. A faint earthy smell accompanied by a slight bitterness entered his mouth. This kind of thing Chen Yun couldn't bear when he was on Earth. The smell of spitting out now seems to have a different kind of reality.
"Hey, Qianqian will definitely not go to the front line as a recruit, and Mengmeng... there are a lot of things to worry about..." Chen Yun turned to look at the girl's figure, his mind was buzzing. For a moment, he thought of Xiao Well, sometimes I thought of myself, sometimes I thought of the front line, and sometimes I thought of fallen angels. At some point, Chen Yun's eyes closed slightly and he actually fell asleep.
The three girls on the side walked over quietly and couldn't help but chuckle when they saw Shen Yun's innocent sleeping look. But then they immediately covered their mouths, looked at each other for a few times, and then sat down quietly next to Shen Yun. Watching quietly... (To be continued...)
