Alice in the Land of Steam
Chapter 1217: Isn’t he a human?
Chapter 1217: Isn’t he a human?
Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
Lingge didn’t quite understand. He felt that the girls were too excited. They didn’t even wait for him to speak, but took the initiative to propose various ideas. In the end, they mobilized a large number of people, almost all the living creatures on the entire Yunjingkong Island to help. But the problem is that young people only need a classroom and some equipment to teach those children some basic knowledge. Why make a simple thing so complicated?
Unfortunately, at this moment, he, who always had a say, lost the right to express his opinions. He could only be an audience, silently watching these girls discuss with great interest. They said that they would only build a classroom, but in their mouths, it has become an academic sanctuary comparable to world-renowned universities such as Lenwitting University or Baicheng Fengqiao University. The young man shook his head helplessly, thinking that you think highly of me, but I am not qualified to be a teacher in a university of this size.
“That’s not an exaggeration at all, Lingge.”
Suddenly someone spoke to him, interrupting the young man’s thoughts. He turned around and found a certain angel lady sitting next to him, staring at him with her eyes. When she met his gaze, her eyebrows curved and she smiled happily and contentedly: “Because this is the first time you have made a request to us, we also want to do our best to respond to your request. Isn’t this a matter of course?”
“First time?”
Ling Ge was particularly sensitive to this kind of statement, as if he was a good person who was willing to give without asking for anything in return. He subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to give an example to refute it. But he opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. He thought for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable example. It was not until this time that the young man realized with shock that he seemed, indeed, perhaps, probably, possibly… was such a good person?
For some reason, this frustrates him.
“Hehe.” Seeing the depressed expression of the young man, Yieta couldn’t help but chuckled and said, “You have always been like this, Lingge. Although you looked very cold before, you are actually very gentle in your heart. You always think about others and always worry about and give for us. When Sister Xiaoxia was confused, you told her what to do; when Sister Aovila couldn’t sleep, you stayed by her side; when Sister Rolena missed her hometown and relatives, you comforted and encouraged her so that she could cheer up… You have helped us so much, of course we want to help you, Lingge. But you never make any requests to us, as if you can accomplish everything by your own strength. This is certainly very reliable, but sometimes it also makes us feel frustrated.”
“We’ve all been waiting.” She said softly to Ling Ge. Her voice was mixed in with the other girls’ heated discussions, so it was not so clear. However, Ling Ge heard it clearly: “Wait for the day when you say to us ‘I need you’. Wait until that day. No matter what you want us to do for you, we will definitely do it.”
Even if one person alone cannot do it, the combined strength of everyone will surely be able to help you.
Fulfill all your wishes.
After listening to Yieta’s explanation, Ling Ge finally understood why Saint Xia Liya suddenly became so excited when she heard him say “I need your help”. At that time, he didn’t take it seriously, but now thinking back, the excitement at that time actually contained a kind of joy and the joy of finally having a wish come true after waiting for a long time.
Not only her, but every girl who had come into contact with Lingge thought so, that’s why they gathered here, happily discussing some issues that they had never thought about before, all because of what Lingge said, “I want to be a teacher for those children.”
This emotion is so sincere, passionate, and heavy that the young man didn’t know how to deal with it for a while.
Even though he has learned to smile again, even though his personality has become much more cheerful, even though he no longer has that expression and cold tone that keeps people at a distance, the young man is still a calm and rational person at heart. It’s not that his emotions are not strong enough, they are just more restrained and reserved than anyone else. So when faced with such unconcealed emotions, he inevitably feels a little at a loss.
If I have to describe it, it would probably be like a child wandering alone in a rainstorm, and someone suddenly holds an umbrella over his head. At that time, he is neither alert nor resisting, but looks up blankly, looking at the two blurry figures, one big and one small, in front of him.
The rain curtain in Linville City many years ago, mixed with the coldness of frost and the haze of the factory, subtly overlapped with the scene before his eyes. The rain at that time seemed to flow onto the young man’s face at this moment, but it no longer made him tremble, but felt extremely warm.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was about to say something, but Miss Angel stretched out a finger and gently pressed his lips, her tone was both angry and a warning. Given her personality, this was a very stern expression: “Don’t thank us, thanking us means you still treat us as outsiders, which is not allowed!”
The young man who had his thoughts seen through did not feel embarrassed, but just a little amused. He raised his hands in a surrender gesture, and Yieta nodded with satisfaction and retracted her fingers. Perhaps she was still not satisfied with the feeling just now, so she taught the young man a few more words: “So, I told you a long time ago that you can be more selfish, Lingge. Don’t think about others in everything. Occasionally, you can make requests to us and let us think about you! I, I can’t do anything, but if you need it, I can also give you a, that, a hug or something to make you feel better…”
At the end of her words, she returned to her old ways, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she hesitated and muttered hesitantly.
Lingge didn’t hear clearly and was about to ask her to repeat it, but someone had already discovered the problem before him.
“What were you saying just now, Yieta?” A calm, gentle voice without any emotion rang out in the hall, causing both Miss Angel and the young man to shudder.
When she looked up, she met the majestic eyes of the person sitting in the main seat. She was like a great judge, sitting high on the bench, seeing through all the evils and showing no mercy. The rest of the jurors were watching their eyes and noses, and they looked like silence was golden. Even the most outgoing Alice sat obediently in her seat, and she was just short of sticking a piece of paper on her forehead with the four words “It has nothing to do with me” written on it.
The main culprit is Yieta and the accomplice is Linge!
“What were you talking about just now?” Saint Xia Liya repeated word for word, including Lingge in the discussion. “Everyone was obviously discussing something very important, but you were distracted, distracted, and even chatting privately, not taking it seriously at all. Do you think this behavior is really correct? Is it worthy of other people who are thinking seriously? Isn’t it trampling on everyone’s efforts? Yieta, Lingge?”
Wow, that’s a serious crime.
Alice was quietly shocked, Leticia was gloating, and Metien cast a worried look at Yieta – the reason why she chose Yieta instead of her brother was because she knew that her brother would be fine, but the personal safety of Miss Quail Egg was questionable. Yieta also knew that she was walking on the edge of life and death, and she would face a catastrophe if she was not careful. She also knew that the only person who could save her life at this time was Lingge. In fact, telling the truth at this time is the best choice. After all, she was not really distracted, she just talked to Lingge about some… well, more positive topics. Why judge me for this?
But Miss Angel had a premonition that if she told the content of her conversation with Lingge, she would be doomed. Not only would Sister Xiaoxia not forgive herself, but the attitudes of others would also change drastically. And all of this was because… they were jealous of me, jealous of my close relationship with Lingge!
In order to separate Ling Ge and me, they will definitely use all means, maybe even beat Ling Ge to her knees… Quack! This world is so cruel, even between sisters, there will be times when you can’t give in or compromise!
After realizing this, Yieta shuddered, as if she had seen the tragic future. In order to prevent her premonition from becoming a reality, she tightly shut her mouth and refused to reveal any details to others. At the same time, she looked to Lingge for help, hoping that he would take the initiative to speak up and take responsibility for the crime.
At times like this, you should show your responsibility as a man, Lingge!
Anyway, Sister Xiaoxia won’t do anything to you!
So please save me!
She hinted wildly with her eyes, and Lingge couldn’t help but frown. If it was normal, he would not mind taking the blame for Yieta, but to be honest, the young man also had an ominous premonition, always feeling that if he tried to be a hero at this time, it would only make Saint Xia Liya even more angry, and then both of them would not be spared.
If only one person could survive, why couldn’t it be me?
Yieta, you told me yourself that people should be more selfish.
So, you should be able to understand why I made this choice, right?
The young man convinced himself that this was not succumbing to his heart, but self-reconciliation, which was like completing a spiritual sublimation. So he cast an apologetic look at the angel lady, then looked up at Saint Xia Liya and said seriously: “I don’t know, in fact, I didn’t hear clearly what Yieta said.”
Upon hearing this, Saint Xia Liya’s expression eased a little, but Miss Angel’s face turned pale and she looked at Lingge in disbelief.
You actually… betrayed me! ?
Didn’t you promise to protect me?
As expected, Miss Nevill was right. A man’s promise is the least trustworthy! I regret not listening to the old man!
Unfortunately, there is no room for regret.
Saint Charia looked at Ieta, who had turned gray, with a “sinister” look. Well, in fact, her expression was not that scary. It was just a double illusion caused by light and psychological factors. But that detail was no longer important, because the crime was conclusive and the angel lady had no way to refute it. She could only accept her fate with a heavy heart.
Trial and execution!
……
After catching her sister’s mistake and lecturing her for half an hour, Saint Charity temporarily calmed down her anger when she saw her begging for mercy. In order to make Yieta reform herself as soon as possible, she gave her an important task, or to be more precise, a punishment, which was to help in the new classroom that was about to be built – but not as a teacher, but as a student.
According to Saint Charlene, “I usually pamper you too much, which is why you are so ignorant. You either eat snacks in the windmill tower room or use a telescope to spy on other people’s privacy. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will become a bad boy. You know, even Leticia’s cultural level is higher than yours, Iyeta, don’t you have any sense of shame? So, take this opportunity to study hard. I will arrange a test for you, if you fail… hehe.”
Yieta was very curious about what this “hehe” meant, but she didn’t dare to ask.
She felt a little resentful. She thought that her education level was not as good as Leticia’s. Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated? Besides, I’m happy to help in Ling’s classroom, but at least I should be a teacher, right? Although I don’t know what knowledge I can teach those children, maybe I can talk about my previous travel experiences? Anyway, it’s better than being a student! The relationship between teachers is that of colleagues and friends, but between teachers and students, there is only… Hey, what if it develops into a taboo teacher-student relationship?
It seems pretty good, hehehe.
Miss Angel wrapped herself with her wings, curled up in a ball and grinned foolishly. Her stupid and silly look made everyone speechless: Although we don’t know what you are thinking, at least don’t be stupid in front of Sister Xiaoxia. Didn’t you notice that veins on her forehead are popping up again?
Lingge could understand Saint Shalia’s actions. He knew that she was not really angry. She just wanted to take this opportunity to let Yieta walk out of the windmill tower and get in touch with more things outside. The character of Miss Angel was indeed very childish… Well, she was very suitable to get along with children. Maybe she could infect them with this optimistic and carefree spirit, so that those children who had experienced the pain of war would no longer look bitter and resentful.
Come to think of it, it seems that Yieta is not the only one who needs to interact with people of her own age?
Lingge touched his chin and decided to find some companions for the unfortunate Miss Angel: “In that case, how about letting Leticia, Shemi and Gloria come to class as well?”
Gloria blinked and did not object, even finding it very interesting, while Leticia and Shemi suddenly raised their heads and looked at Lingge in disbelief: How can you say such cold words, are you still human?
Give me some meow
