C.834: Are you angry with me?

TL : BluVerse

My mother is sick, Lan Menqin said softly.

What? Qian Lei was shocked. What illness? Is it serious?

Lan Menqin nodded gently, Its very serious, even Senior Biji cant treat it. Its an inherited disease in our family. After the age of 40, its possible to appear. Our clan leaders have extremely high talents, but they also seem to have a curse. No one has ever lived past 50. My mother is indeed sick. Senior Biji said its because of the lack of some special components in the bloodline. Even the highest technology in the Federation is useless in this regard. Supplementing life energy is also useless. The more you supplement, the more you lose. Im my mothers only daughter and will inevitably be the next clan leader. I have no choice but to go back, inherit her position, and protect our people. I have no choice. And, I hope to be with her in her last few years.

Qian Lei, Im not unwilling to take responsibility. I know how good the academy has been to me, and how much it has helped me. Besides, I cant bear to leave everyone behind. But I have no choice. Captain is right. I shouldnt be selfish and try to enter the Inner Court. Ive thought about it clearly just now. After the graduation exam, I will go back. I will accompany my mother and be by her side until the end. I will be with my father and help her through her final days. After shes gone, I will be the leader of my clan.

Qian Lei listened in a daze, and his nervousness gradually eased. At this moment, he only felt an immense pain in his heart. Lan Menqin had never told anyone about this before, she had silently endured it all. If it werent for his familiarity with her, and sensing that something was off, he wouldnt have noticed her troubles. Now that he heard her speak about it, Qian Lei really had the idea of doing everything he could to help her.

If youre not taking the exam anymore, then I wont either. Ill go back with you and accompany you to take care of your mother and protect your clan. Although Im not as strong as you, I can still be of help. Qian Lei said without hesitation.

Lan Mengqin shook her head and said, Are you silly? Dont you understand? I cant. Falling in love with me is not a good thing for you. My dad knew that my mom might not live past fifty, but he still insisted on being with her. But my mom told me she regretted marrying him and bringing him back to our clan. If she hadnt, their relations.h.i.+p wouldnt have been so painful, and my dad wouldnt be suffering like this. My mom was right, if you truly love someone, you must know how to let go. Like her, I cant escape from the fate of dying before fifty. So, we are impossible, and I dont want to harm you. Moreover, everyone still has the challenge to become the Shrek Seven Monsters. We finally got this qualification, and if I quit, you still have a chance to let Ding Zhuohan or Bing Tianliang take my place. But if you leave too, I would feel guilty towards everyone.

Today, telling you all this, is actually to tell you that its impossible between us. Please keep it a secret for me. I dont want everyone to feel sad because of me. Since its already irreversible, I will take the initiative to bear it. Do you understand what I mean?

Qian Lei looked at her, his eyes somewhat dull.

Lan Mengqin lowered her head and continued, The clans inheritance must continue. If you are willing, before I leave the academy, I will give myself to you. Even get pregnant with your child. We wont see each other again in the future, so let me stay in your memory, leaving only a beautiful memory. Im really happy to be with everyone these years

Just as Lan Mengqin was speaking, suddenly, a roar rang out: Lan-Meng-Qin-

Lan Mengqin was startled by the sudden loud noise and looked incredulously at Qian Lei.

At this moment, Qian Lei had completely changed, as if he had transformed. He stared at her with red eyes, like an angry lion.

Do you know what youre saying? Do you know? Youre trampling on my love for you and everyones feelings for you.

He stood up abruptly, walked up to Lan Menqin, pulled her up from the chair, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, bent down, stared at her up close, and angrily said, Why didnt you say anything when something happened? Why didnt you let everyone face it together? This is Shrek Academy, where we have many G.o.d-rank seniors. We all have our own abilities. Why cant we solve the problem on your mothers body?

Taking a step back, what nonsense are you talking about? Couldnt I do what your father did for your mother? Where am I lacking compared to your fathers love for your mother? Even if you can only live for fifty years, so what? Im willing to accompany you. Sadness in the future is a future matter. If I lose you now, I will be sad now, and I dont want to live anymore. Do you understand?

You think that by separating from me now and ignoring me, youre doing me a favor? Let me tell you, I have only ever liked one person in my life, and that is you. I will never, ever be able to love anyone else. Without you, I can never be happy, do you understand? I dont want just your body, I want all of you, your heart, your soul, your everything. Wherever you are, Ill be there. Whether its a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or the vastness of s.p.a.ce. I will die by your side, anyway, Ive already attached myself to you in this lifetime, and you cant push me away, you cant. I belong to you, from the moment I saw you.

After saying these words, Qian Lei couldnt help but breathe heavily, his eyes turning red.

He was over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and explosive muscles in every part of his body. Lan Mengqin was only 1.7 meters tall and had a slender figure. Being grabbed by him on the shoulder was like a pitiful little beauty about to be devoured by a wild beast.

Lan Menquin stared straight at him, feeling the anger bursting out from him, and murmured in disbelief, Are you scolding me?

Qian Lei was stunned. The overwhelming aura he had just now disappeared almost instantly like melting snow. His expression suddenly froze, and the next moment, he seemed to realize what he had done. He quickly let go of Lan Menqins shoulders and stuttered, No, I, I didnt. I wouldnt dare

And you still say you wouldnt dare? Lan Menqins voice raised a bit.

Qian Leis expression collapsed instantly, and there was no trace of the imposing manner he had before as if he had turned from a lion into a lamb in an instant.

I wouldnt dare! You know, I wouldnt dare. I was just a little excited, and Im afraid you wont want me and will leave me. I was wrong, Mengqin, I was wrong

Lan Mengqin snorted disdainfully, Look at you, so spineless. Werent you acting tough just now? Although she said this, a smile gradually appeared in her eyes. But tears were starting to acc.u.mulate within that smile.

Seeing her like this, Qian Lei became even more at a loss, not knowing what to do and his body trembling in anxiety.

Twice, you made me cry twice today, you fatso. Lan Mengqin suddenly stepped forward and hugged his waist again, tightly, even tighter than before in front of the dormitory.

At this moment, in her heart, there was only one thought: priceless treasures are hard to find, but true love is even harder.

Qian Lei reacted much faster this time, quickly embracing her, holding onto someone he regarded as precious as a rare gem, his expression no longer urgent but showing a foolish, silly smile.

She cried twice, but she also hugged me twice!
