Evetrona's old stories

In fact, Karen Lianni was not as bad as Di Geng said. She had been in the Academy of Knights for three years, and she was not a high-profile person.

After Di Geng finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards Eve, making her a little nervous.He turned around and continued: "Compared to those external things, I care more about the shape of a person's soul. I admit that I do have a sweetheart I am pursuing, and she also understands my intentions, and she did not explicitly refuse."

Eve was a little uneasy. She wanted to withdraw from the crowd, but there were so many people standing around, it was not that easy.

"Di Geng, you don't even blink when you lie. Why, now there is another sweetheart?" At this time, the two people in the quarrel became angry, and Karen Lianni also made it clear that she wanted to stalk her. She asked, "Where is your sweetheart? I want to see how good the sweetheart you mentioned is!"

In fact, at this time, many people had turned their attention to Eve, and when Di Geng also stared at her directly, her legs were a little weak—she was really puzzled, she was clearly here to watch the excitement, why did the fire burn on her head?

Several companions beside her looked at her even more suspiciously. Elvira was still holding her arm, but at this time she let go of her hand decisively, and even moved away a little.

The sight of the onlookers made Eve's cheeks burn. At this time, she was isolated and helpless, and her mind went blank.She always knew that Di had a crush on her, and she only thought that if this guy dared to confess to her one day, she would simply refuse, but she never thought that this matter would actually become a ticking time bomb.

"Are you the sweetheart he said?" Karen Lianni's heart turned cold when she saw Eve's appearance.At the football match that day, she had seen Eve on the stage from a distance, and knew that she and Di Geng were very close, but Karen Lianni didn't want to admit it.Intuitively speaking, she has now largely believed Di Geng's rhetoric - if she can grow up like this, who would not love it?

Seeing the other party's eyes full of resentment, Eve subconsciously shook her head.

"No?" Kaenlianni raised her eyebrows, and hope seemed to rekindle in her heart.

"Eve, do you still remember that after the last class before the festival, you asked me if I had a crush on you? Do you have any impression of that?" After Di Geng finished speaking, he patted the big tall man next to him, "Lin Xin, you were there at the time, do you think it happened?"

"There is such a thing." Lin Xin nodded quickly.

"Eve, I can now respond to what you asked me back then. Not only do I have a crush on you—but I... like you, and I hope our relationship can go further. Now it's time for you to respond to me."

Eve rubbed her forehead, only to feel a headache.

"Let's talk about this matter later." Eve's tone was full of discussion.

"Is this a promise?" Di Geng asked with joy in his eyes.

"Do I have to run away shyly to be considered a refusal?" Eve asked him back.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard her answer, and Di Geng's shoulders suddenly collapsed after hearing such an answer.

Seeing Di Geng's appearance at this time, Kaen Lianni was very relieved, she did not expect that the retribution would come so quickly.But thinking about it again, he felt a little worthless for himself. If he was rejected by others, what would he be?

"You see, Di Geng." She said sarcastically, "People don't like you at all. Didn't you look so proud just now?"

Di Geng just lowered his head and didn't even refute at all.

"You don't even look at yourself. You are so old. What are you doing here? Do you think you are in your early twenties? Are you still arrogant? You have no chance. You are doomed to be a mediocre person in this life."

These words of Karen Lianni really hit Di Geng's sore spot.He is almost thirty, but he still has nothing to do. Those things that he thought he didn't need are now like fruits on a towering tree, and he has already been unable to pick them up.Sometimes, people choose to give up completely, it is only a momentary decision.

Di Geng suddenly felt that he really shouldn't stay here anymore at this time. Why did he come here to make himself uncomfortable? Isn't the life on the Musk Rabbit Mountain pleasant?

When decadence gradually took over his mind, a hand grabbed his arm, Di Geng raised his head, and saw Eve smiling at him.

"I changed my mind, let's try first." Eve said, "I rejected you just now, not because you are not good enough, but because I have no interest in this aspect."

"Then now..." Di Geng looked at her blankly, only feeling at a loss.

"For my friend, I'm willing to try." Eve turned her head, looked at Kaen Lianni, and said, "There are not a few late bloomers, and if one day Di Geng becomes famous, you must be a part of it." Credit. At that time, he might think of looking for you to thank you for mercilessly waking him up today."

Kaen Lianni bit her lip and took a step back, but was unable to utter a single word.She glanced at Eve, then at Dicken beside her, and burst into tears on the spot, then turned around and rushed out of the crowd, her female companion glared at Eve, and then also Chased out.

Looking at Eve in front of him, Di Geng felt quite complicated.

Eve's sudden abnormal behavior was partly because of Dicken, but more importantly, the words Karen Lianni said also hurt her.In another time and space, Eve's situation is very similar to that of Dicken now, and it can even be said to be far inferior to him; Karen Lianni is actually right, if people pass that age of hard work, the opportunities will become less and less.

Demand is always created.If people want to live, they don’t really need too many complicated things, but their instincts don’t allow them to rest on their laurels and reap the rewards—thus, seeing other people’s achievements and comparing them with their own, they will inevitably fall into depression.When the world is full of material desires and money is paramount, everything has a marked price, and the same is true for a person's life—it's like valuing a painting. The high price, but in fact, most people only care about whether the painting is good-looking or who made it.Although this kind of judgment standard is simple and crude, it is effective: what is this person's name?Where can I get a job?Property geometry? ——The same is generally true for judging whether a person is successful, as if there is only one way to happiness in life.Do you want a house?Do you want a car?Want money?When those unnatural created things become some kind of heavy life indicators, it becomes more and more difficult for people to see what they really need and want.

An ordinary person who decides to follow his own will is bound to become a loser in the eyes of the world.

Eve has a deep understanding of this, so she understands Dicken.For Kaenlianni's accusation, she hoped that she could fight back for him, that's all.

[75] Preoccupied

"I heard that Dibu's family used to be a military family, and there were several generals. If Di Geng's father hadn't been disabled and retired, he might have been a general." Walking on the path under Shengfengyue Mountain, Nanfen mentioned Di Geng to Eve.

Eve raised her head, looked at the woman holding an umbrella beside her, and asked her, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Aren't you interested?" Nan Fen approached her, with a bright smile on her face, and said, "I'll find out for you when I get back? I'll do it quietly and won't let others know."

"Do you know what happened last night?" Eve stopped and stared at her blankly.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it?" Nanfen blinked.

"Although I don't know who you heard it from, Di Geng and I have nothing to do. It was just because someone quarreled with him yesterday, and I helped him by the way." Eve's voice became smaller and smaller, and she was actually a little guilty about this matter—indeed, at the time, she felt a bad breath, but the more she thought about it afterwards, the more uncomfortable it became.

"Then the relationship between you two is really good." Nan Fen obviously didn't believe it, "Both of you have become boyfriend and girlfriend."

"He may like me, but I won't like him." Eve said with her head down.

"Then why didn't you refuse?" Nanfen asked.

"I did refuse at first, but because of impulsiveness, I agreed to him again." Eve said, "I will make it clear to Di Geng when I go back. It is not complicated to explain."

"I agreed to him on impulse? What kind of impulse are you doing?"

"There was a girl who liked Di Geng, but she couldn't pursue her, so she kept swearing at him, calling him a waste. I couldn't see it, so I went up and said a few words, and drove this man away..."

"Okay." Nanfen interrupted her, "Let me ask you, can you agree to this kind of thing casually?"

Eve looked at her and shook her head slowly.

"You are a girl, you must be cautious when dealing with such matters. Even if you refuse others on the spot, you won't say anything about matters of fame." Nan Fen looked at her, and asked with some uneasiness: "You didn't take something from someone, did you?"

"How can I take other people's things? You have sent so much money, and I have a headache as to how to spend it."

"That's good." Nanfen nodded in satisfaction, "The sooner this matter is resolved, the better. If that kid Di Geng refuses to let go, you have to tell me, and I'll deal with him."

"No, he's very measured, at least to me."

Hearing what she said, Nanfen suddenly laughed, "Then I won't interfere in this matter, you can decide for yourself, even if you want to associate with him, I won't object. Mao Qi used to have a bad personality, but look at him now... as long as someone really likes you, it's better than anything else."

Eve forced a smile twice, but didn't continue talking.

The next morning, Nanfen took the return train back to the manor. After Eve saw her off, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Elvira also came today, and Eve knew that what happened the night before was definitely related to her when she saw the expression on her face from time to time.I really don't know how Nanfen managed to make such a noble Elvira willingly do things for her.

When returning to the apartment, Eve saw Dicken sitting on the steps of the apartment building from a distance. A big man was blocking the door of the women's apartment. It looked a little outrageous.

Eve ran over in a hurry, and the other party quickly noticed Eve. He stood up with an ugly expression on his face, as if he lacked sleep.

"You came to see me?" Eve asked.

Di Geng nodded, lowering his voice: "Let's find a quiet place to talk?"

"Okay, where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere."

"Okay, then come with me, and by the way, we can also settle lunch together."

Eve took him to Forward's.

The teachers were still on vacation at this time, and the small dining room in Forward was deserted and a good place to talk.

"Yo, brought your boyfriend here?" Forward felt very surprised when he saw that Eve brought someone here today.

"Probably." Eve actually admitted it, which made Di Geng, who was standing behind her, full of doubts.

"Oh, unexpected..." Forward sighed with a smile.

Eve glanced at the kitchen and asked Forward, "What can I eat today?"

"There's nothing unusual these days. After all, it's the holidays. Now there's still a basket of mushrooms, half a slice of ham, some eggs, a whole chicken, and some seasonal vegetables." Forward rubbed his chin and suggested, "I want to make pies and roast chicken, what do you think?"

"Yes, everything you do is delicious." Eve praised.

"Would you like some wine?" Forward reminded.

"Do you want to drink?" Eve looked at Di Geng aside.

Di Geng shook his head, he has been very low-key today.

"Let's have some." Eve said, "It's a rare break, let's have some wine suitable for meals."

The two sat on the east window seat, which was where Eve often sat.

Forward was already busy in the kitchen at this time, and Di Geng sat face to face with Eve, but they didn't say a word for a long time.

"I want to thank you first." Di Geng finally spoke first, "And then I apologize to you - I shouldn't ask such a question in front of so many people, making it difficult for you. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, as long as there are too many people, I can't control my emotions."

"I understand, after all, what I said that day was also inappropriate."

"It's not your fault, I brought you into it." Di Geng glanced at Eve, lowered his head again, and continued: "The woman's name is Carne Lizt, and her surname is Lizt. I heard that she The family is very rich, but I don’t know the details. She confessed to me once a few months ago, but I rejected her. I didn’t expect her to hold such a grudge. It’s been so long, and she still doesn’t forget to find opportunities to get revenge I."

"Her...how is the situation now?"

"Who knows, I don't know her very well." Di Geng leaned back on the chair, staring blankly at Ye Zi outside the window, "I don't think she will pester her again in the future."

"I was a little heavy when I spoke." Eve sighed.

"That's all she asked for." When Di Geng said this, he suddenly laughed, "We are here to reflect and criticize each other. Maybe people don't realize their mistakes at all, and they still feel that they are victims."

"Let's not talk about her." Eve smiled and shook her head, "I want to say what I told you before, I said——I'm willing to try..."

Just as he was talking, Di Geng turned his eyes to the room, and Eve noticed that Forward was walking over with a plate, so she immediately shut up.

Forward placed the plate in the middle of the table. A roast chicken that was still steaming was placed on the huge square plate. The burnt yellow skin was still sizzling, and it was obviously served as soon as it came out of the pan.In addition, there is a layer of yellow chestnut kernels on the bottom of the plate. These chestnuts are stuffed into the belly of the rooster and roasted together. The surface layer is soaked in chicken oil and sauce, and the color looks very attractive.

Forward then served a plate of large pies of mushrooms, sliced ​​ham and gooey cheese, with bits of onion, celery and tomato.The stuffing is sandwiched between the pie and divided into two layers. Forward seems to have used a mold. The pie is more than ten centimeters thick, and the surface is octagonal. It is made like a plaster model, square and square. Obviously, its craftsmanship is really breathtaking.

Forward used a sharp knife to dismantle the roast chicken into bones and meat, and cut the pie into small portions, serving them on plates for two people.After finishing his work, he brought another plate of sliced ​​pears, and then stood aside without moving.

Eve looked up and found Forward staring at Dicken.

"What's your name, boy?" Forward asked Dicken.

"Diggin Dib," replied Diggin honestly.

"Is my hometown in Yard County?" Forward's eyes lit up.

"Yes, my father's name is Belikin." Di Geng nodded.

"Isn't this the son of an old acquaintance?" Forward patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and suddenly appeared very familiar. My name is Dicken, how old is this year?"

"28 this year."

"Yo, you're not young anymore, it's time to start a family." Forward looked at Eve again, "Eve is 19 years old this year, and there is a nine-year difference between the two of you. There was an eight-year difference between Maoqi and Nanfen back then, um... ...the problem is actually not that big of a deal.”

"We haven't reached that level yet, so don't ask." Seeing that he kept asking, Eve started to chase him away, "Go and do your work, and leave us alone."

"Okay, let's talk slowly." Forward smiled and left.

Eve actually didn't want more people to know about her temporary relationship with Dicken, but the two of them needed to find a quiet place to talk, and in order to avoid trouble and gossip, they had to be watched by someone. The only person Eve could think of was Forward.

After Forward left, Dicken kept looking at her, waiting for her to continue the interrupted topic.

"I said I'm willing to try, and this sentence is still valid." Eve said, "But I can't make any promises to you. Forgive me for speaking harshly——I don't think there will be any results between the two of us. ,so……"

"Okay, Eve, you don't need to worry about it." Di Geng interrupted her with a smile, "I have already decided that when this school year is over, I will apply for withdrawal and will not come again."

"How can I do that?" Eve couldn't help being a little anxious when he heard him say that, "Are you going to ruin your career for such a trivial matter?"

"I don't have any future. Even if I graduate here, I will go back to herding and hunting." Di Geng poked the chestnuts on the plate with a fork, then looked into Eve's eyes and said, "Eve, you are so kind and innocent. This kind of personality should not appear in a beautiful and noble young lady like you. If you don't change your temperament, you will suffer a lot from this sooner or later."

"I have my measure."

"People think they are smart until they are deceived once." Di Geng said, "It is too late when you find out that you have suffered a disadvantage. Don't rely on your own intelligence. If you can fight, you are not afraid of anything. I was like this when I was young. I knew that I could beat others, so I shot, but the result? In the end, I was the one who suffered."

"Actually, I also understand the truth." Eve said, "You always use your age as an issue. On the one hand, you feel that you are older than others and can't do anything. On the other hand, you feel that you You know more than others. You are old, and you can’t prove anything. Your main problem now is because you are too harsh on yourself—everyone makes mistakes, and you have to give yourself a chance to make up for it.”

"Do you think I can still be saved?" Di Geng smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Of course you are, how old are you." Eve said, "You are almost thirty now, but you find that you haven't done what you should be doing in your twenties, and on the other hand, you have to be busy doing things after 30." Things, so you will become forward-looking and backward. You are now because of lack of confidence in yourself, so you become like this, you should insist on finishing one thing."

"Really." Di Geng nodded, "Maybe it's like what you said." He turned his head to look out the window, and said after a while, "Eve, before I met you, I never found a person of the opposite sex who would understand me this way. I thought women and men were like completely different species. I didn't understand what they were thinking and what they were doing. Only a smart head can do this, and then... what kind of man can be worthy of her? So although I like you, I have never dared to show it, but later you made it clear, so I was thinking: What does she mean by this? Is it an invitation?" At this point, there was a faint smile on the corner of Di Geng's mouth, and two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"I..." Eve didn't know how to explain it to him—that she was actually not interested in men at all, so she didn't think about it at all?

"You don't need to explain, this is also my own problem." Di Geng continued: "I have never had a communication barrier when we get along with you. I often feel that your age should be similar to mine, so I forget that you are actually still at an age where you don't need to be careful and careful, and you don't have to be too responsible for what you said."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass beside him and drank the wine in one gulp.

"You need to stay here," Eve said, "Don't go back, or your father will be angry."

"I'm almost thirty, and he didn't care about me long ago." Di Geng said, "I lied to you from the beginning, not because my father asked me to come to the Knights Academy, but because I happened to hear that you were coming Read the news here."

Eve looked at him in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I always do things on impulse, and I never have any plan, so failure is inevitable." Di Geng is surprisingly frank today, "You don't have to worry about me, there is nothing wrong with living your whole life in a daze. My father said that - if the family has money and land, they are not afraid of me squandering, but I am afraid that I will cause trouble... I should go back."

After speaking, Di Geng got up and left.
