If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 454

Few people know that in the brightly lit New York City, under the Brooklyn Bridge crossing the East River with constant traffic, there is a small exquisite garden on the side of the road.

Probably last night, after the stars fell from the distance of the sea and the sky, they merged into the winding seaside river. The caring garden owner salvaged them one by one and decorated them on the short trees in the garden. In the evening, the lights are dim here, but due to the weather, tonight the bare branches of the garden trees are covered with other things besides starlight-the dark blue sky of New York in the evening.

Lin Xian squatted beside the pale yellow flowers filled with light and shadow, gently stroking the petals with her hands, the small lights in the flowers illuminated her face, and the ubiquitous faint lights in the garden drew her endless shadows on the ground , overlapping on the ground like petals blooming alone. There is nothing else here, only the sky, the city and the girl.No, it is the sky, the girl and the city. From the perspective of Lin Nian at the dining table in the garden, the place where the girl is squatting is between the sky and the city.

The ink-blue sky, the back of the beautiful girl in the middle, and the black city, it seems that someone deliberately hides the ulterior beauty between the two, just like this garden that is also hidden in the noisy city.

"It's rare to come out with her like this?" Elizabeth, wearing a black hollowed-out cotton shawl, was lying on a white chair, her long white legs under the black evening dress were gently overlapping, and her slender black high heels were hanging on her feet. He didn't move at all, and his eyes were also fixed on the back of the girl in the distance.

"Why do you ask that?" Lin Nian withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and continued to trim his nails with the throwing knife in his sleeve.

"Don't forget that your mission history is recorded in the school board. Every school board is eager to know what you do every day and where you go. In the records, you always act alone. The person you contact the most is The logistics department of the executive department."

Lin Nian waved his hands and said nothing, as if he was not interested in this topic.

"Actually, many people have secretly thought about your driving force." Elizabeth didn't look at him, her eyes reflected the brightly lit New York City across the river.

"My drive?" The boy beside her tilted his head.

"For Angers, revenge is the motivation to get him out of bed every day. For Flamel, it is spirits and women. For Cesar Gattuso, it may be the glory of the family." She gathered her hands in the shawl to protect against the gusts of sea breeze from the East River, her hair fluttering in her ears.

"I don't dare to say anything else, but as far as Caesar is concerned, you may have misunderstood something. His driving force must not be family glory. The alarm at six o'clock in the morning will only wake up early because of exams or parties. Come, and the alarm for family glory may be set until evening." Lin Nian said with a faint smile.

"Then take it as a misunderstanding, but I don't want to correct this mistake. It is Frost Gattuso who should correct this mistake. I am more interested in your motivation than Cesar Gattuso. "

The waiter in "The River Cafe" shop in the garden opened the glass door and walked into the garden, holding a tray in his hand and walking through the stars and flowers, and put two cups of hot drinks on the table, and Elizabeth took one of them A cup of sugar-free black coffee and another cup of cappuccino were placed in front of Lin Nian.

"There is always something that drives you to work for the secret party, life-and-death missions, dangerous dragons, brutal deadpools, no one is willing to charge for the so-called 'mission' and 'glory', after all, 'mission' and 'glory' This kind of thing can be interpreted as he is doing it for 'dignity' and 'fame'." Elizabeth took a sip of the black coffee, feeling the bitter taste blooming on the tip of her tongue, "Then why are you staying in the secret party? The 'dignity' held up by the 'S' class? Or the 'fame' admired by the crowd? Of course, it could also be 'wealth' or 'power', your past has made you easily desire two things."

"I remember someone asked me similar questions before, but I don't really remember who asked." Lin Nian stirred the latte art on the cappuccino into a whirlpool, "I don't know the value of this question itself." For the evaluation, I just want to ask the school directors, isn’t it enough for me to be a “knife” in their hands, pointing at where to cut, and hitting whoever the college asks me to hit?”

"Enough but not enough."

"Good and bad, right?" Lin Nian took a sip of something and smiled.

"Without the interests of the school board and the position of the secret party, I am just curious about what drives you out of bed every day for a person like you," Elizabeth said.

"I'm a very simple person." Lin Nian turned his head and looked at the yacht slowly passing by on the East Lake in the distance, "It's really simple, there are no twists and turns, no bitterness and hatred, every day I go to work, and the executive department clocks in , If I want to kill anyone, I will kill whoever, and when the Dragon King comes, I will be the Dragon King and then just keep living like this forever.”

".a peaceful and unchanging life?"

"It's a stable and unchanging life." Lin Nian corrected casually, "It was my dream a year ago, but now my dream has come true, she doesn't have to get up and go out every day, but has time to sit in the library You can learn what you like, and you can buy whatever you want. You don’t have to turn your head and look at me every time you pass by, pretending to chat with me to avoid sight. I can feel that she is very happy in this college. .It's easier than it's ever been, which is something I've never dreamed of seeing."

"I'm a person with no ambitions. If you use the words of our hometown to call me worthless." Lin Nian turned his head to look at Elizabeth, "I am the trash who is content with the status quo and does not seek to make progress. I am afraid of trouble. So I usually act very ruthlessly in missions. People who don’t know me say I’m a murderer, but those who know me know that I just want to get off work early and go back to college to play games. To keep those bad guys alive, I have to be there all the time. There are beeps and beeps in my ears, if I raise the knife and drop it with a click, and the head falls to the ground, I can go home directly, and the others will naturally be handled by the logistics department.”

"Very unique self-analysis." After listening to Lin Nian's words, Elizabeth thought for a while and nodded.

"I'm not a savior character in Japanese comics, or a character in Long Aotian's first-class novels. Do you think I have been running around for the 'power' and 'savior' of Lao Shizi?" Lin Nian sat on the chair and hugged Holding a coffee cup to keep warm, "I'm just a college student with no ambitions and no ideals who wants to find a place with my old lady to live comfortably and die. Please don't add so many halos to me in the future."

"Sure enough, every 'S' class has its own differences." Elizabeth said lightly.

"If you will call me different, I have nothing to say."

"If other people have your bloodline, they will probably become the 'savior' type of mainstream demand, then the school board can use their sense of justice to oppress them, and make them do things that they may not even realize It’s a wrong thing to do for the benefit of our school board.” Elizabeth said, “But people like you are the most troublesome. People like you are very selfish and live for yourself, so you can live freely and happily .If we want to criticize your selfishness, it often proves that when you encounter a disaster that requires your sacrifice, you people will rush forward without hesitation."

Lin Nian smiled, noncommittal.

"But that's okay. After getting to know you better, I think that people like you can clearly understand their position in front of conflicts of interests and conflicts of power, and won't lose themselves because of those factors. As a partner, you are indeed very qualified and reassuring." Elizabeth nodded, "Of course, this must be based on the fact that all your words are not lying."

"What about my partner? Miss Elisabeth Laurent, how about you?" Lin Nian clenched his fist with his right hand and gently pressed his face against the side of his face. He stretched out his thumb to caress his chin and looked at the girl beside him who was comparable to the bustling beauty of New York at night. , "As a school manager, what is your motivation to get out of bed every day. Is it for the honor of the family?"

Elizabeth glanced at him, and said a sentence in French, the speed of speaking was faster than normal, Lin Nian did not understand her meaning, and could only hear a beautiful and twisted language drifting away with the sea breeze.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Fucking family honor." Elizabeth pushed the hair from her dark red lips to her ears, and said as she watched the sea breeze blowing over the East River.

It is indeed a beautiful language. Lin Nian took a sip of his cappuccino and thought. He put down his cup and joked casually: "Why, don't you want to be the head of a syndicate group? You must know that the wealth that flows through your fingers every day Enough to buy half of New York City right before our eyes."

The Gattuso family can be regarded as the number one chaebol in the school board, and the Laurent family has a wealth that is not inferior to the Gattuso family. The girl sitting next to him is not an exaggeration to say that he can stand Top [-] in Europe.

"Why, you want my property?" Elizabeth looked sideways at Lin Nian.

"I want it, why don't I want it." Lin Nian replied naturally.

"That's good." Elizabeth nodded, put her right hand on the table, and slowly passed it to Lin Nian's hand. The back of her white hand with well-defined joints looked like a work of art carved from white jade, shining through the light of the garden. You can clearly see the dark red blood flowing in the veins inside.

"Marry me," she said.

Under Lin Nian's gaze, she still looked at Donghe, "As long as you promise 'yes', we can get the ring tonight, tomorrow the wedding will be held in a French manor, I will invite a small number of people, and you can also Invite your relatives and friends, hold the wedding at noon until evening, and then we will go to bed, and according to the customs of both parties, I will change my name to Mrs. Lin the morning after tomorrow."

"Then I will take over all your property and become the new head of the Laurent family?" Lin Nian asked.

"If you will now," said Elizabeth.

Then she found that the boy beside her was silent, and the dining table under the tree in the garden could only hear the constant sound of cars on the Brooklyn Bridge. After a long pause, she turned her head and looked at him. What? Are you really thinking about it?"

"Yeah, I'm wondering if I really hold your hand and promise you now, will it be a miracle?" Lin Nian said lazily.

"I won't go back on my word." Hearing these words, Elizabeth actually smiled softly. Because of her natural smile, the whole garden was a little brighter, "Only if you have the courage to marry me."

"If you have the guts to marry you and everything behind you." Lin Nian looked at her profile with a smile. That black body always reminds people of the same color of roses in full bloom, with layers of thorns and petals wrapping the soft inside. pistil.

"Isn't marrying a woman just marrying her whole life?" Elizabeth gently tossed her hair and looked at Lin Nian leisurely, "If you only want to marry me alone, it would be too whimsical, wouldn't it?"

"I think so." Lin Nian smiled, "I don't think I have the charm to take you away from that big family alone."

Elizabeth looked at Lin Nian carefully up and down, put her hands on the table back to her knees, and chuckled softly, "It's almost, it's really only a little bit."

Lin Nian didn't strike up a word, he waved his hands and laughed, and the two just laughed as they watched the yachts roaming by on the East River, each with their own meaning, each with its own sweetness and bitterness.
