Chapter 308: Ain's Determination (2-in-1)
In fact, Hailan is not really stupid to the extent that she doesn't understand anything, so she has to pour a basin of cold water to extinguish a girl's enthusiasm.
When he hadn't crossed over yet, the reason why Hailan, who lived in the orphanage, was not liked by girls was indeed related to the fact that he always ruined the atmosphere.
Adolescent boys and girls always like to get together, as if they can have fun all day long just by talking to the person they like.
But Hailan is different, and he prefers to immerse himself in his own world more than not.
What girlfriend do you want? Is it that the game is not fun or the manga is not good-looking?
This is the feeling that Hailan brings to the girls around her, even if there may be someone who has a good impression of him, he is scared away.
Coupled with the fact that students have a heavy academic load and do not have as much spare time as students from other countries, it is not surprising that there are few female classmates around Hailan.
But in fact, Hailan gives people this feeling of "don't get close to the living" on the one hand, it is indeed due to his character, but more importantly, it is his identity as an orphan.
An orphan who can't even guarantee his own future, what can he do to protect the relationship between two people?
"When you are the least capable, you meet the person you want to take care of most for your whole life", this is a saying that most people have heard more than once.
Hailan is very worried that this sentence will be fulfilled on herself, Hailan, who has no impression of her parents since she was a child, has a protective desire for herself in her heart, and in Hailan's opinion, it is better not to start this relationship at the beginning than to be uncomfortable when they are separated.
Memories of youth?
The last thing Hailan cares about is the so-called "memories".
is also because she has no parents since she was a child, and because her childhood memories are gray colors, Hailan has also developed a character of "only looking forward".
Do a good job in the present and look forward to the future, this is Hailan's attitude towards life.
This is also the reason why Hailan's computing power can directly reach "Lv6" when he obtains the system, because Hailan's daily life is very fulfilling, and he has paid several times the effort of others in learning.
It's just that before he had time to reap the rewards, he traveled to the world of One Piece.
He crossed over and became the son of Admiral "Black Wrist" Zefa.
Here, Zefa, Sengoku, Karp, Tsuru, Kaji, and Gion gave him meticulous care, allowing him to gain family affection that he had never experienced before.
It is precisely because of the "orphan" that Hailan does not reject Zefa's father very much, and as time goes by, there has already been a real relationship between the two.
If Hailan was a reincarnation of a certain main god space, shuttling between different planes to carry out tasks, perhaps he would never have feelings for Zefa and others, because for a reincarnation, people from different planes are just a group of NPCs.
But Hailan is not, his system has never issued him a task, and has never restricted his freedom and forced him to do anything, he is just an ordinary traverser, and Hailan, who has been reborn, has become a member of this world.
Zefa, Karp, Sengoku... These are all living elders with flesh and blood.
Hailan never eats them, lives them, uses them, and also enjoys their meticulous care and careful teaching.
If Hailan treats them like a group of NPCs, or even stands on the opposite side of them, wouldn't it be too much of a thing?
Even if the mountain of the Draconians weighs on the heads of the World Government and the Navy, Hailan firmly believes that he will not be sentenced to escape from the Navy, on the one hand, because he has not seen One Piece and has no sense of identity with the identity of "Pirates", and on the other hand, it is also because of these lovely elders.
Family, friendship, and love, Hailan has already obtained the first two, and for the rest of the love, how can a human being with normal body function not have fantasies.
But now is not the time to think about these things, not the time.
Age is not a problem, Hailan was born in 1487 in the Haiyuan calendar, and in a few years, he will soon be crowned with the title of "post-80s old man".
But his identity is the biggest limitation - Vice Admiral "Day Tiger" of the Navy Headquarters, the fastest rising superstar in the Navy over the years.
Hai Lan is still very clear about the truth of "high merit and shocking the master", and now everything seems to have no problems, but has the "five old stars" actually put their names on a certain list a long time ago?
Hailan didn't have any feelings for the mother he had never met, but that didn't prevent him from seeing some clues in her.
Hailan's father, "Black Wrist" Zefa, can be said to be the person with the highest achievements below "Navy Hero" Karp.
He was once an admiral and had done countless feats in battles against Whitebeard, Roger, the Golden Lion, the Lone Red, and the Destroyers of the World.
At that time, although Zefa had not yet served as the "chief instructor of the Navy", because of his personality and the tradition of Navy veterans leading new recruits, Zefa's disciples were not as large as they are now, but there were quite a few of them.
The wife and children of the dignified admiral will be successfully assassinated by a few little pirates? Ghosts don't believe it.
Hailan still doesn't know who Dorag's wife's name is.
Karp has always refused to be promoted to admiral, which is not a kind of wise self-preservation.
The sense of crisis that he had cultivated at a very young age made Hailan have to point his suspicions at the World Government, and even the Celestial Dragons behind it.
This is also the reason why Hailan did not let Zefa adopt Sucrose, but asked Crane Staff to take care of Sucrose.
If Hailan had seen One Piece and knew that the World Government would be forced out of the navy because of a Seven Martial Sea General Zefa and the three strong men of the Lieutenant General's headquarters, this thought in his heart would be even more firm.
The value of the former admiral, the chief instructor of the navy, and the three vice admirals is not as valuable as the seven martial seas of a mere king?
Especially the identity of the chief instructor of Zefa, don't the five old stars understand the meaning of education?
It's also something that even a ghost wouldn't believe when you say it.
The one who can hurt himself is not necessarily the enemy, it is very likely that it is a kidney attack from the same faction.
When Hailan heard "I like you" in Ain's mouth, he was really startled, and his mind short-circuited for a moment, and he asked three inexplicable questions in a row.
But gradually, Hailan has calmed down.
Ain's words seemed to still echo in Hailan's ears: "Because you saved me in a storm once before?" ... Do you think this reason is okay? ”
In fact, Ain doesn't know when he started liking Shanghai Lan.
Was it really because of that storm? Maybe, maybe not, she couldn't be sure, she didn't think about it at the time.
But if you like it, you like it, where is it so complicated, but Hailan had to say why, and she barely found such a reason that seemed to be a reason.
Ever since she saw Ain running in front of her in the storm to rescue her, Hailan felt that this girl was really a little silly, but Ain was just a little girl at the beginning, and Hailan didn't think much about it.
With later contact, Hailan found that Ai Yin not only had no scheming, but also was very persistent, as long as he recognized one thing, he would do it to the end.
In the original book, as a student, it is clear that Zefa has gone astray, but Ain can still die for Zefa at any time, this level of persistence, even if there are a few men who can "die for a confidant".
Under the moonlight, Ain's ruby eyes stared intently at Hailan, who could clearly feel the sincerity and sincerity in the other party's gaze.
The current Hailan has never been ready to be actively loved by a girl, and his identity and what he will do in the future cannot make him feel at ease to start a relationship.
After a moment of silence, Hailan smiled and shook his head: "I am an adventurer, only by constantly adventuring on the sea, exploring new and unknown worlds again and again, can I inject new blood into my life, adventure is the romance of men, adventurers never stop in one place." ”
Without even thinking about it, Ain replied, "It's okay, I can go on an adventure with you, and I want to see the wonders of this world." ”
"But adventurers are lonely, and adventures are fraught with danger."
"That's right..."
The anticipation in Ai Yin's eyes dimmed slightly: "... Is it because I'm too weak? ”
Hailan didn't explain, in his opinion, it was actually a good thing that Ai Yin could clearly realize the weakness of her strength, and it would be better if she could retreat because of this.
Seeing that Hai Lan didn't speak, Ai Yin took him as acquiescing to her guess, she smiled at Hai Lan again, and the previous gloom in her eyes swept away: "It's okay, I know that my strength is still very weak, so I won't stop you from leaving here, and I won't think about going on an adventure with you anymore, I don't want to hold you back."
Thank you for your "Domineering Cultivation Experience" and "Kendo Iron Chopping Mystery", I have already remembered all your suggestions, I will definitely work hard to exercise my strength after you leave, I will always wait for you on this island, and when you come back next time, I will definitely surprise you. ”
Hailan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't... I didn't say I would come back..."
Hearing this, Aine laughed: "I don't believe it, don't you want Lilith as a teacher?" ”
Hailan said helplessly: "Why did you suddenly become so smart?" ”
"I'm not stupid!"
In fact, Hailan is also very happy to suddenly receive Ai Yin's overtures, whether male or female, but whenever they hear that someone likes them, they are actually very happy, even if the other party's appearance is like a flower - of course, whether to accept the other party's overtures is another matter, the main thing is that this feeling of being loved will make people happy, not to mention that in Hailan's opinion, Ai Yin is still very beautiful.
Especially when Hailan is struck by lightning in the middle of a storm, and Ain is the first and only one to check on his injuries, Hailan has no reason to hate someone who has no ill will towards her.
He had always ignored Ai Yin before, mainly because in Hailan's opinion, the two were just passers-by who met in Pingshui, and they would be separated after a short time, and finally forget each other.
Hailan had never thought about it, and had never met a girl as passionate and bold as Ain, and what happened tonight was something he had never considered.
"Don't move!"
Ai Yin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Hailan's left hand, Hailan was startled, and his heart was a little nervous, but the composure he had cultivated over the years made him quickly calm down again.
Aine suddenly pulled out the dagger, and the blade flashed, shaving off the nails on Hailan's little finger.
In order to disguise his identity as a natural-based ability, Hailan is now playing the role of a superhuman electromagnetic fruit ability, so he took the initiative to prevent the elementalization of his body, and he didn't detect the slightest malice in Ain's body, so he didn't dodge.
Hailan wondered, "What are you doing here?" ”
Ai Yin held Hailan's little thumb nail in his hand and smiled at Hailan: "Make a life card, if you haven't come to me after I get stronger, I'll go to you!"
That way you won't be able to run away! ”
Ai Yin's sudden opening of his mind caught Hailan a little off guard.
"Here, here are my nails."
Aine quickly cut off her fingernails, as if she was worried that Hailan would not be enough, and deliberately chose a thumb.
"If you think it's in the way, you can throw it away, and if you don't like me right now, it's okay, I'll be waiting for you, for a year? Five years? Decade? I can afford to wait! ”
“……”
Seeing Ain smiling happily, Hailan was a little speechless.
"Okay, I'll go back to the village first, you can leave quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you up again."
With that, Ain turned and walked in the direction of the village, her steps were fast and slow, sometimes as if she had stopped where she was, but she never looked back at Hailan, as if she was in some kind of duel with herself.
"What a stupid girl..."
Looking at the back of Ain leaving in the moonlight, Hailan suddenly hesitated.
"Blue Blue Blue..."
The phone bug in the "Castle Amulet" suddenly screamed, and Hailan turned around and ran to the shore and took out the phone bug.
"Pss
Fortunately, Hailan reacted quickly enough and turned the direction of the phone bug in time, otherwise it would be another spit star.
"Hey, Hailan, you're talking, are you listening?"
Hailan threw the phone bug on a stone, and he picked up the microphone: "I'm here." ”
"Very good, good news for you, now your boy's chance to perform has come!"
"What chance?"
"The steam steel mill established by the World Government in the New World has been attacked, the enemy is the Hundred Beast Pirates, Polusalino's kid has already rushed over, Sakasky is also on the way, and now you are the only one who can make it in time."
