Chapter 102 The Lonely Swan Flutters Its Wings
"A leader always has a right-hand man to help him. As for Lu Mingfei... he is very special. Maybe he will bring us unexpected surprises like Gu Ye." Angé turned off the computer and stood up from his seat.

"I really can't see what's so special about this kid. Recently, he has been playing games and complaining about himself. The poor guy is crying and making a fuss in the room because he doesn't have the courage to apologize to Gu Ye..." The old cowboy had a funny expression on his face, as if he was playing the role of a sad, poor kid.

"This is the growth he must go through. I believe Gu Ye will help him well." Angé shrugged, not caring about the old cowboy's ridicule.

"You came here not only to find me to explore students' psychological problems, right?"

"Nibelung..." The old cowboy took the cigar from Angers' desk with ease, put it in his mouth, lit it, and then spoke.

"Nibelungen?" Angers looked at his old friend with some confusion. He knew this legend in the alchemy world, but why did he bring it up now?
"Those two guys are investigating information about the Nibelungs. Maybe they have some new discoveries," the old cowboy said.

"Is that so? It doesn't matter. It's a good thing that young people have a desire to explore. We just need to provide help when they need it." Angé looked out the window. On a tree branch next to the artificial lake, a baby bird was flapping its wings and trying hard to learn to fly.

"It seems that the secret party made the right choice by making you the principal." The old cowboy adjusted his cowboy hat and turned to walk towards the door.

"I will keep this secret with the school board for now, but don't forget that you are the only principal in this school."

"Of course, I will not resign easily before I train a qualified leader." Angé did not look back, but continued to watch the baby bird. After practicing again and again, it finally flew into the sky.

"Gu Ye~Did you miss me?" In the school dormitory, Xia Mi's voice came from the computer, as energetic as ever.

"Well...to be honest, there is a little bit." Gu Ye looked at the cute face that occupied the entire screen and spoke a little embarrassedly.

It is eight o'clock in the evening, and it is morning over at Xia Mi's place. She is quite free during the summer vacation, and is currently lying on the bed and video chatting with Gu Ye.

"Only a little, no no... How can you only miss me a little? I think about you every day, this is too much of a loss!" Xia Mi puffed up her cheeks like a hamster.

"What I mean is, a little more than yesterday and a little less than tomorrow." Gu Ye's thoughts were working quickly and he spoke without hesitation.

It was the first time that Xia Mi, who was on the other side of the computer screen, heard such words. Her originally fair face instantly turned red. These love words from the future shocked her greatly.

"You...you you! How come you became so smooth-talking after staying in America?"

"You don't like it? Then I won't say it again."

"No! As the price for your smooth talk, I will punish you to think of a new love phrase for me every day!"

The sounds of their flirting echoed in the dormitory. Chu Zihang, lying on the bed, felt for the first time what it felt like to be restless. Maybe it was like what Gu Ye said, and he should find a girlfriend?

Forget it, I still have a lot of things to do, and I don’t need to consider anything before rescuing my father... Putting on headphones, Chu Zihang chose to fall asleep to avoid the dog food attack from the two people.

"So this is the situation... I decided to go to Kassel after the end of my sophomore year." Gu Ye told Xia Mi about what had happened recently.

"Oh? Is that so... Then I'll wait for a year before going to the preparatory class." Xia Mi tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking to Gu Ye.

"Tell me the truth, do you want to stay with me for a while longer? That's why you use Chu Zihang as an excuse?"

"That's also the reason. We just confirmed our relationship and I don't want to be in a long-distance relationship like this. We haven't left any memories yet." Gu Ye didn't evade this time, but hit a straight ball.

"I told you that this girl is extremely charming~" Xia Mi's eyes curved into crescents, and there seemed to be stars in them.

"But it's not like we don't have memories... Every day you were here was a memory, and I remember them all."

Help... How can this girl be so cute! Gu Ye felt his face burning. He looked away and didn't dare to look at Xia Mi, but he couldn't help but secretly observe her, which made Xia Mi laugh out loud. "Don't laugh! By the way, when are your uncle and aunt free? Can I go meet them during the summer vacation? And your brother..." Gu Ye was a little shy, but he still talked about business.

"Ah...well, they haven't been home for a long time recently. They said they were going to Germany to treat my brother's mania." Xia Mi's smile stopped, and she looked at Gu Ye with regret.

It seemed that he had heard before that Brother Xia Mi could be very manic sometimes. Gu Ye recalled it carefully and it was indeed a problem that he needed Xia Mi to coax him to calm down every time.

“But is Germany’s medical technology so advanced?”

"After all, German science is number one in the world." Xia Mi responded casually.

"How about I go to your house to see Auntie first? I have nothing to do at home anyway."

"Okay, my mother has wanted to see you for a long time." Gu Ye nodded. The sunny and cheerful Xia Mi should have a lot in common with her mother, right?
"That's settled then. By the way... remember to call your aunt to let her know you're safe. I'll go wash up first!" Xia Mi slowly stood up and waved to Gu Ye. Only then did Gu Ye see that Xia Mi was still in her pajamas. It seemed that she had just gotten up not long ago.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be back in about two days. See you then." After saying goodbye to Xia Mi, Gu Ye turned off the video and then picked up the phone to call his mother.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Ye hung up the phone. Chu Zihang had fallen asleep at this time, but he was not sleepy yet, so he chose to go out for a walk first.

By the artificial lake, Gu Ye felt the breeze, squinted his eyes comfortably, and sat on the lawn watching the swans sleeping with their heads buried in their wings.

"Can't sleep?" Angers' voice came from Gu Ye. Gu Ye raised his head and saw him still in that flashy suit.

"It's normal for people to have trouble sleeping in a strange place. This happens to me all the time." Sitting next to Gu Ye, Angé continued.

"We choose to start school another year later. Do you have any objection, Principal?" Gu Ye said softly.

"It's actually easier to have you in China Kassel. Just think of it as accumulating experience. When you graduate in the future, I will give you extra points as appropriate." Angé winked at Gu Ye.

"Really? Thank you, Principal." Gu Ye thanked Ange, then hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Why are you so... tolerant of Chu Zihang and me, Principal?" Gu Ye couldn't find any good words to describe it, so he could only ask. He was really curious, could an S-level and an A-level student break the tradition of Kassel that students had to pass the 3E exams before they could enter school?

"In the past, Cassel was actually the dragon-slaying army of the secret party, but now... the students are too comfortable, indulging in the sense of accomplishment of solving the fourth and fifth generations of species, and have not noticed the future crisis at all." Angé sighed.

"You are different from Chu Zihang. I see the heart of a true warrior in you. He seems to have some obsession like revenge. What about you? My child... why did you choose to slay the dragon?" Angé raised his head and stared into Gu Ye's eyes.

As an Avenger, how could he not notice Chu Zihang who was the same as himself?

"To protect, Principal... I just want to protect my family and loved ones before the world is destroyed." Gu Ye and Angé looked at each other.

"I like this answer very much. This is how life is. Don't wait until you lose something to regret it." Angé took out a bottle of whiskey from somewhere and handed it to Gu Ye.

"Would you like to drink, my child?"

"No, Principal, I promised others that I would not drink anymore." Gu Ye stood up and seemed to remember something, shook his head and refused Angé.

"What a pity! This is a good bottle of wine. Good night, and sweet dreams, kid." Angé opened the whiskey and took a sip without looking back. He just stared at the lonely swan on the artificial lake in a daze.

"Good night, principal." Gu Ye turned around and left.

Swans are afraid of loneliness, so when they sleep alone on the lake, they always bury their heads in their wings. But what about humans? What can they do when they are lonely? Do they miss the past, or...be consumed by the flames of revenge?
