It's still Tomorrow's Ark

rain.

I don't like rainy days.

When it comes to rainy days, think back to Syracuse.And when you think of Syracuse, you think of the fetid transactions and creeds.

Those corrupt transactions, those products of corruption, those worlds that seem to have rules but have no rules, and those gangsters who think highly of themselves but are actually nothing.

This cloudy rainy day will always produce a humid atmosphere, and when it comes to humidity and coldness, Syracuse will have to be mentioned.And that cold and wet appearance is what she hates the most.But at the same time, it was her own appearance.

"Your Syracuse flavored espresso and matching set has arrived, please use it slowly."

"..."

Who puts pork sausage and cake on the side when drinking coffee?What is this strange stereotype of the Syracusans?

Looking at the disgusting dinner plate on the table, Laplande didn't even have the thought of complaining.Just sitting in the cafe, looking at the sparse crowd outside, I feel that there seems to be a hole in my heart.

How should I put it, she knew that her actions were successful.My father really doesn't care about himself anymore, and there is no need for discipline.Under the tiger's skin in many ways, he managed to escape from that family, which was even easier than he imagined.

In fact, the answer is indeed already clear.His father was not as powerful as he imagined, if he could escape, it would be very easy to escape.It doesn't matter if you go to Longmen, Victoria, Columbia, Ursus, or anywhere, as long as you find a larger organization to join, your father won't be able to get in.

Even negotiating is useless. If anyone within the organization can get someone by saying a word, is a big organization worthy of being called a big organization?All the little bastards are being bullied to the head, isn't it a little too small to underestimate the danger of big organization capitalists?In fact, Laplande has always been aware of this kind of thing, and she knows it better than anyone else.It's just that she simply doesn't want to admit it, and wants to prove herself through an awkward means.

But now that she got the happiness of leaving, she felt that she seemed to have done something wrong.

She regards the relationship between people as a bargaining chip, just like her most disgusting father.So her father didn't say anything at that time.

Even now she felt a strange confusion and uneasiness.Did he complete the rebellion by himself, or did he become what his father wanted in a sense?Is my own change what my father really wants to see?

Laplande couldn't tell.She only felt that the emotions in her heart were full of chaos.

To others, to oneself.She admitted that she didn't have any special feelings for that boy, but what she couldn't lie to herself was that she did cheat for her own freedom.

This has nothing to do with good feelings, it's my own betrayal of my heart that has always been there.It was she who lied to herself.Tell yourself that this kind of behavior is beneficial and there is nothing wrong with it.Then put the trust of others aside, and chose another direction on his own.

He said it was for his own good, but in action there was no room for maneuver.I think that a person should look like a person.Think that rules and actions should be exchanged.In terms of results, it is indeed not the same.The person named Shi Huaiya really didn't have any malice towards him, and was even very nervous after busy work.But in essence, there is no difference between myself and my father's behavior at the beginning.

Even, if I really accepted my destiny so silently at the beginning, like a real Syracusan, maybe I would be like the person now, receiving unreserved assistance from my father, and finally gradually mastering the family. , successfully became a so-called master.Get your own piece of cake in the tide of the times.Is not it?After all, that's what my father thought and planned at the beginning.

...did I burn a mole?

Dressed in neat clothes, sitting in the coffee shop like a civilized person, Laplande looked at the coffee in front of him, always feeling a burnt smell of moles hovering in his mind.

For him, was he the one who indifferently threw the mole into the flames?This kind of question seems to have no answer if you don't ask it.But Laplande couldn't muster up the courage to ask.

When she realized that she seemed to have become the person she hated the most, when she realized that her choices and actions were almost the same as those of her original father, an inexplicable terror took all her courage out It's gone, only the walking dead are left to act in this city.

There is still a lot of money, and the woman left a lot of money for herself.But it seems that I can't find any direction.

What exactly should I do...

Laplande looked at the rain and the alley outside and picked up his coffee.But in the next moment, a light blue figure entered her pupils.

"...!"

Seeing the elf jumping from the alley, Laplande gradually opened his eyes wide.

The round pupils reflected the clear and magnificent figure like a fairy, the light blue hair and the translucent figure solidified in the fundus of the eyes, turning into a beautiful symbol in the rain.

Seeing the fleeting appearance of the beautiful scenery at the edge of the alley, Laplande subconsciously dropped a handful of banknotes, subconsciously straddled the two weapons by his side, and walked straight from the balcony of the coffee shop. Jumped down in the exclamation of the crowd.

Amidst the yelling and cursing of others, Laplande ran fast and arrived at the crossroad in almost a few seconds.She looked around suddenly, but fortunately, the so-called bloody plot didn't happen, and she saw the slightly slender shadow jumping in a small alley.

Carefree, without scruples, like enjoying a childish and happy childhood.

"Li Lin! Wait a minute!"

"……Eh?"

The elf, who was jumping in the rain with an umbrella, stopped, turned his head a little unexpectedly, and looked at the girl covered in cold rain with a confused face.

"You are...Miss Laplande? Are you still in Longmen?"

"..."

It's still in Longmen...

That's right, after all, you should run away when you're done.There seemed to be no reason to stay.

Listening to the seemingly inadvertent words of the confused boy holding an umbrella in front of him, the habitual smile on Laplande's face gradually collapsed, turning into an expression that he didn't know how to describe.

Act One: Board Games, Idols, and Landscape Paintings: Chapter 151 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] Presentation

When he first saw Li Lin, Laplande felt that he still wanted to say a lot.

For example, how is your company doing? Is it on the right track? How is your life? Have you accomplished what you want?

But for some reason, the myriad of threads just stuck in my mouth and I couldn't open my mouth.She knew that the relationship between herself and the man in front of her was very ordinary, or just a one-sided relationship, a relationship of mutual use.

As usual, she can often leave in a chic manner without any emotion.But this time is different.Other times have failed, this time Lapland succeeded.Therefore, when she succeeds, she often has a strange emotional fluctuation.

She is actually a little more emotional than she imagined.He's not as ruthless as he imagined.Madness and epilepsy seem to be her essence, but in fact, after she really left the father, she realized that her whole life seemed to be making up for the mole that disappeared in the fire.

Some people use their whole life to carry out their childhood beliefs, and some people use their whole life to make up for the wounds of childhood.Laplande found a way to mend his wounds.

Leave my father's side, become a so-called independent person, and become a person that everyone can understand and understand.So she paid a lot, including pushing another person into the burning fire.

So when looking at the other mole he pushed out, Laplande, who has always been polite and eloquent, suddenly felt that his language seemed a little pale.She didn't even know what she was going to say, and she didn't know what she was going to do, she just looked at the transparent and distant elf in front of her, trying to stop him.

Even this behavior itself didn't make much sense, because she really just stopped the boy subconsciously, and Laplande didn't have any impression of what to say and how to do it.She just stopped the person out of instinct, but seeing the elf standing there holding a translucent umbrella and looking at her strangely, her mind was blank.

"That, Miss Laplande?"

"Ah, yes."

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Well, how should I put it, there is something about your store, congratulations."

Forcibly holding on to a smile, Laplande looked at the boy in front of him who seemed to be translucent, wearing a light blue liner and a translucent raincoat, holding an umbrella and stammeringly said:

"I, I want to celebrate your success. How should I say it? After all, it is that Beatrix Shuaia. That store is very successful now? Even my side knows that the development there is in full swing. The way you look, must have brought great enrichment to your financial conditions, right? There is no shortage of money now, right?"

"..."

"It will definitely be a good project. Oh, what a pity. I actually wanted to participate, but it's a pity. It's really just a little bit short."

"..."

"Ah, there is also the matter of Syracuse craftsmen. Actually, I have thought about it too, but after thinking about it carefully, the best manpower can be found in Longmen, right? Generally speaking, this is not the case. Find the manpower and keep moving forward. ,Yes, it is like that!"

"..."

"..."

You should say something.

Looking at the translucent figure standing in the cold rain with an umbrella, as if overlooking and looking at nothing, Laplande, who was dancing with hands and feet, gradually calmed down.

The pure and clear pupils reflected the false smile on Laplande's face, and then gradually became silent.Because of the water vapor, the eyes that were originally like clear mist exuded an indescribable brilliance, but silently looked at Laplande in front of him, letting the cold wind blow his hair , floating light blue ripples in the air.

And after a while, looking at the silent and embarrassed Laplande, the translucent goblin held the umbrella and sighed subtly.

"...I actually haven't even visited it once."

"Eh?"

"I've already handed everything over to Shi Huaiya."

Holding an umbrella and jumping around the blisters in the alley, Li Lin seemed indifferent, and said softly:

"She is a very powerful girl with better abilities than me, and she must be able to take care of that place well. So the things you said have nothing to do with me. It is no longer my store, I Just a creative worker, a wage earner working for her."

"..."

"Although she will be very angry if you say that, it's almost like that to me. After all, it's not my shop anymore. Although I also think that if I lead it, I may lose a lot of money."

"...Don't you hate me?"

Looking at Li Lin who didn't seem to have much to say, Laplande looked at Li Lin who kept jumping towards the edge, and asked a little involuntarily:

"I sold all your stuff and didn't say anything to you, and I actually took advantage of your ideas and sent them directly to my dad, just for my life, that's all I sent you there easily. Don't you hold grudges against me?"

"Huh? No way."

When he was only one step away from the arid place, Li Lin held an umbrella and looked back at Laplande, showing a subtle smile.

"Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean not hating you. What I'm saying is, I actually hate you. Even I, in a way, super hate you. I can't wait to let You can also taste my mood at that time. How should I put it, although it is not a big deal and I can understand it, but I really feel betrayed."

"……Eh?"

"Why don't you believe me? Although it's a bit too much to say that someone who has never met a few times believes something, but I want to ask you, why do you do that when you give me an idea?"

After jumping to the area under the dry rain at the end, Li Lin put away his umbrella and stood where he was, with Laplande's embarrassing face reflected in his clear pupils.

"Why did you decide the matter between the two of you without even discussing it? If you really want to express your distress and thoughts, you think I'm the kind who will ignore it directly and insist on messing around." Someone who is tossing around?"

Act One: Board Games, Idols, and Landscape Painting: Chapter 152 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] Guilt

Laplande used to think that she was a cold-blooded person, but in fact she was just blinded by her father's past teachings.No matter how much she denied it, those educations penetrated into her bones to some extent.Become an integral part of the logic of her behavior.

Li Lin actually did nothing wrong, Laplande is very clear about this.

How do you say something?The person who wronged you knows the extent of your grievance better than anyone else.Although it may be a bit inappropriate to use it here, it feels similar.

Laplande is very clear about how much new blood Li Lin has devoted to this aspect, and has seriously discussed and considered future matters with her.Although she can't understand all kinds of business matters, she can still feel the seriousness and stubbornness in her actions.That's not something you can just say casually like a joke.Instead, I seriously want to make this a business.

At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it, but she still recognized this kind of thing.It's just that she didn't think about so many things at the first time when she faced that Shi Huaiya's courtship.Even now that Laplande thinks back, if given the chance, he might still make the same choice in the end.Because that seemingly insignificant palm may be a real chance for Laplande to escape.

Now it is even more proof that Shi Huaiya is indeed capable of pulling her out of the mud.It's just a betrayal in the face of this cute-looking, yet slightly angry creature.

Laplande felt a little guilty about this, but what made her feel even more guilty was that if time were to start over again, she would probably still choose that way.

Because it was a chance to get rid of her father, a chance to stay away from the shitty Syracuse forever, and become the person she wanted to be again.It was a necessary opportunity for her.

She wants to wear the clothes she likes, to be the person she wants to be, to walk hard on the sunny streets, and not to be covered by the haze and rain of Syracuse again.Most of all, she didn't want to see her favorite things stained with ashes again.

This is a very important thing for her.Nothing is even more important than this.Although she felt ashamed of her actions and wanted to make amends to the somewhat injured elf in front of her, she could even say that she could work hard to help his life, even if she could support him for the rest of her life, but Lapland De felt that he would make the same choice again.

But she didn't want to break up so completely.Some things are like entangled ropes, which will gradually bind a heart slowly in the night.Laplande doesn't want to see such a thing.

So she wanted to make things clear, but it was obvious that this cold alley was not a place where she could speak.

Lappland didn't hold back any hope and suggested whether she would like to have a meal in a restaurant or treat herself, but to her surprise, the boy who looked like an elf just nodded in agreement. .
