Offer your allegiance to Chaos!

But God is sorry, Ashe swore that although the birthday party held by the two of them last night lasted until very late, nothing really happened. The closest contact was a kiss, on the forehead.

But who would believe this?Ashe sighed, and could only ignore the maid's eyes. Anyway, they were all raised by the family since they were young, so they naturally knew that they would not chew their tongues.

Ai Xi looked up—at the age of 15, he was still half a head lower than the teacher—smiled and said, "According to today's schedule, it's time for you to work."

"...Come to the north for vacation, do you have to say such unwelcoming words?" The silver-haired woman sighed, but did not refute Ashe's request.

Even if she was on vacation in the North Country, the whole morning was still working time. Aixi sorted out the paperwork, handed it to the teacher to sign, and then recorded her verbal instructions, etc., etc., etc., a series of complicated but orderly procedures manipulated the huge family. industrial power.

However, a vacation is still a vacation after all, and the relatively trivial tasks are distributed to the think tank. The teacher only needs to focus on a few major issues. After these are settled, the atmosphere in the office is much more relaxed. I also chatted with Ashe when I was free.

It's a small talk, but it's actually not that idle.

"I asked you about the matter last night. How are you thinking about it?" The silver-haired woman sipped a cup of coffee, turned her head to look at the snow outside the window, and asked softly.

"..."

Ashe's vigorous writing stopped, her expression was a little stiff.

What the teacher was referring to was a matter that she proposed at the end of the birthday party last night after she lightly kissed Ashe on the forehead and wished him a happy birthday.

It is also something that makes Aixi think about it until now, but has not figured it out.

"...Aren't you joking?"

Ashe hesitated for a moment, then said, "I thought you were drinking too much, so I asked casually—"

"Do I look like someone who can get drunk with a few glasses of red wine?" The silver-haired woman smiled, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. Since you haven't come to Italy and you are still in school, I looked at the fund You will give me an observation report, and what you are thinking about, how could it be a casual joke?"

"..." Ashe fell silent again, before saying after a while: "But I'm still too young, so let's talk about—"

"It's not too young, it's not a marriage, it's just an engagement." The silver-haired woman waved her hand, "This can be regarded as a family tradition in Europe for some years. Although you are from a commoner background, since you are married, there is no difference Besides... Besides, you don't look at the way the old guys in the family chew their tongues every day, you get engaged earlier, so my ears will be clearer."

After a pause, the silver-haired woman raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Or, do you think Texas is not to your liking?"

"..."

Ash was silent.

Yes, that was what the teacher had mentioned to him.

—she wanted Ashe to marry her youngest cousin, "Texas"...

Chapter 100 Champions of Chaos

"No, I've met Miss Texas. She's beautiful and smart. In terms of marriage partner, she's a perfect choice... I just don't think I'm good enough for her," Ash said.

"Where is she not worthy of her? Your civilian status? Don't be ridiculous, it's the 21st century now, and even the oldest European family needs to absorb fresh blood from the civilian class to barely survive, or is it a racial issue? Texas has no inheritance rights, even the most stubborn old antiques will not find fault with you being yellow. In fact, there are more and more yellow-skinned faces in the social field these years. .”

The silver-haired woman said: "You are the most outstanding seed selected by the entire San Turin Foundation in the past ten years. You are perfectly qualified to be my secretary at the age of 15, and you will be the executive director of the Greater China Region without any accidents in the future." Director, how can she not be worthy of Texas? Although she has a prominent surname, it is only a collateral."

"No, I... I just..."

Aixi was a little dumb for a while, and couldn't find a suitable reason after talking for a long time. Finally, she had to hang her head silently.

"..."

The silver-haired woman stopped talking, and looked at Aixi quietly, her expression became a little complicated. After a long time, she said softly:

"Or, the person you want to marry is me?"

"No, how dare I—" Ashe was startled like an electric shock, looked up, but saw the gentle eyes of the silver-haired woman, the rest of his words were immediately stuck in his throat, and after a while, he spoke again. Bow your head and whisper:

"I thought about it that way, especially... after you let me live with you."

After a pause, he raised his head again, and couldn't help but boldly said: "You...what do you think of me? When you asked me to go to your room, I thought you meant that, but ...But you didn't do anything, and now you are still arranging my marriage with Miss Texas, isn't it a little too strange?"

"That's right, no wonder you think so, just like other people in the family. Indeed, let a person of the opposite sex who is almost 15 years younger than me live with me. Anyone with a little common sense will think that I am a pedophile."

The silver-haired woman silently drank the remaining coffee in the cup, let out a long breath, looked out the window, laughed, and said softly, "Do you think I look like a pedophile?"

"Absolutely not." Ashe immediately shook her head like a rattle, "You have never touched me, at most you just kissed my forehead, how could you have that kind of thought—"

"Actually, it barely counts."

However, what the silver-haired woman said next made Ashe's eyes widen.

She turned her head, smiled slightly at the young man and said, "In fact, I have thought about that aspect of you, since when I saw you again a year ago... to have evil thoughts about a 14-year-old child, even in many countries It’s not illegal in the law, so it can be called a pedophile, right?”

After a pause, she shrugged again and said, "However, I think it's normal. Regardless of the age difference, you are so cute, you are an out-and-out genius, and you have been chasing me all the way for so many years. In a foreign country, she is more loyal than the maid who has been with me since childhood, if I don't think about it, I will probably doubt my sexual orientation."

"Ah..." Aixi was stunned for a while, and then said cautiously: "Then why have you never shown it? If you make a request, I will not refuse."

"Because I don't want to destroy you." The silver-haired woman said lightly.

"Ah?" Ashe became even more dazed, held back for a long time, and said with a strange expression: "Destroy? What do you mean? I'm not a girl... Even in the broadest sense of chastity, if something happened to us, I wouldn't even be at a disadvantage in the slightest—"

"Where did you go? I don't mean to tarnish your virginity so that you can't get married. You have a really rich imagination."

The silver-haired woman smiled dumbly again, and shook her head: "What I mean by destroying is to destroy all your future possibilities, so that you will be firmly tied to my side for the rest of your life, just like being locked in a cage. Birds are like cats on a string."

"But I don't mind that." Ashe listened, frowning slightly: "Teacher, I came to you just to stay with you forever, until I am old, until you don't need me anymore , because you gave me new life, you—"

"Okay, stop talking."

The silver-haired woman stretched out a finger, gently pressed Ashe's lips, and said softly: "I know what you mean, I'm very happy, but I can't do that."

"..." Ashe opened his mouth, wanting to continue to refute, but under the prohibition of the teacher "stop talking", he had no choice but to shut his mouth and declare his firmness with his eyes.

"You are only 15 years old, how can you really understand the so-called value of life?"

No one disturbed, the silver-haired woman slowly started her monologue, her eyes were deep, her voice was distant, she looked at the young man in front of her, but it seemed that she was passing through him and looking at all his future life:

"I have known since nine years ago that you are a real genius, not only the so-called IQ and reading ability, but also your entire personality. You have not completely fallen into the dirtiest quagmire, and you still maintain With the most vigorous thirst for knowledge and the never-extinguishing fire of hope, even without me, you will definitely be able to walk out of that small village, and you will definitely be able to go very far, very far."

"My appearance and all the gifts I gave you are just a slight push on the wheel of fate, so that you can avoid many setbacks, so that you can not go on the wrong path, so that you may have a better life The ending, that's all."

"You are too young, so you mistakenly regard the gift I gave you as the whole of your life, and you regard me as the goal of your life, so your vision is bound to me, like a frog at the bottom of a well, you can no longer see A wider world."

"I don't want you to stop here."

"Yes, I can sit back and watch your youth, I can induce you to give everything for me, I can kiss you, marry you, let you fall in love, and make you a kitten that belongs only to me for the rest of your life , let you be imprisoned by my side forever... I can gain a lot from it, your love, your body, your future, and the career you will establish will all become mine."

"But I can't do that."

"Because, as you call me, I am your teacher."

--teacher.

The silver-haired woman added an accent to the last word, and her eyes became serious and serious at some point, staring closely at Ashe's eyes, and said word by word:

"An accidental encounter made you the only and most proud student in my life. I will not allow me to destroy you with my own hands. I want to see you go further, not just my appendage. "

"Do you understand?"

Ashe didn't understand.

How could he understand it? Even if he is a genius, he is only a 15-year-old child. Facing the teacher's words, he is only at a loss.

However, at the same time, he also seemed to feel a certain strong and profound emotion in the teacher's heart, and was infected by it, his chest became heavier, and he was a little suffocated and unable to speak.

"It's okay if you don't understand."

Looking at the boy with a complicated face, the silver-haired woman laughed again. She leaned forward and hugged Ashe gently:

"Just know that this is how I...love you."

She spoke softly:

"—In my opinion, this is true love."

"..."

Ashe's pupils contracted slightly.

He still didn't understand the last sentence of the teacher.

But for some reason, this last sentence, "true love", touched his heart more than all the long speeches of the teacher before. It came to his heart and mind, making his eyes sore, he could no longer control himself, and hugged the teacher tightly.

He wept.

"Don't cry..." The silver-haired woman smiled helplessly, patted Ashe's back lightly, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly to her ear: "In short, even if you don't understand now, many years In the future, you will gradually understand, and by then, you will really grow up."

"Then...then I won't be able to be by the teacher's side in the future?" Ashe tried hard to stop her tears, but it was futile, and finally had to choke up and said: "The teacher asked me to marry Texas. Do you mean to drive me away completely?"

"Of course not, why are you like a diode, always wandering back and forth between extremes?"

The silver-haired woman sighed helplessly again, took out a handkerchief, and wiped Ashe's tears carefully: "Even if you are engaged or even married to Texas, your main job is still in the family and by my side."

After a pause, she shrugged and said: "After all, your native family determines that it may be difficult for you to form a correct view of love in your life. If you love anyone, you will love to death. It really makes you and Texas all day long." Stick together, in case you transfer your attachment to me to her, you will still be tied up for the rest of your life without making progress? My ultimate goal is, no matter who you fall in love with, no matter who you are with, your life We all have to live our best lives, and we all have to... climb to the highest peak."

Having said that, she smiled, and playfully scratched Ashe's nose with her fingers: "Why don't you swear to the teacher."

"What oath?" Ashe finally stopped crying, and said with red eyes: "No, I am willing to swear any oath."

"It's simple."

The silver-haired woman didn't engage in any ceremony, but held Ashe's hand tightly, her eyes became serious, and said word by word:

"Remember, no matter who you fall in love with in the future, love can't be an obstacle to your progress. You can love one, or even many, but no matter what, you can't let yourself fall and drown in the gentle land called love , I don’t want to look at the outside world anymore, you...you want to climb to the top and become a champion.”

After a pause, she laughed again, "Forget it, it's too long, you can just repeat the last two sentences, and keep the previous ones in mind."

"Yes... I swear, I... will reach the top."

Ai Xi nodded ignorantly, then fixed her eyes, and said word by word:

"I...will be..."

"--champion."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When Ai Xi woke up from the dream, the night was already very deep, and the silence seemed to have fallen into a deep black hole, but when she calmed down, she could hear the rhythmic breathing of the person next to her pillow, which made people feel amazed. peace of mind.

He stared blankly out of the window, at the Longmen of the Nightless City, the bustling city was still there, and the neon lights dyed most of the sky, causing the black velvet curtain to reflect dots of fireworks, falling in his eyes, accompanied by the breathing of the person next to the pillow His muddled mood gradually calmed down.

The next moment, he realized that the pillow was wet, and when he touched his face, he realized that he had burst into tears at some point.

"Huh...huh..."

Ashe sat up slowly, trying not to disturb the Sicilian lady beside him. He controlled his breathing rhythm and consciously sorted out everything that happened in the dream. After a long, long time, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Shortcut...it really is a shortcut."

"Where is there a free lunch in the world?"

A girl's voice came faintly by her ear, and Ashe turned her head like lightning, and saw Amy sitting carelessly beside him, also covered with a quilt, with her back leaning against the pillow, and she was holding something from somewhere. A cup of coffee was conjured up, and I drank it with relish.

Ashe was stunned for a moment, and reflexively looked at the Sicilian lady next to her pillow, but saw that she was still sleeping soundly, unaware.

Well, this is from one dream to another.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that 'they' would install such a small mechanism on this shortcut."

Amy's words continued, she seemed to be scalded by steaming coffee, and she spit out steam like a cat's tongue, "However, from the perspective of hindsight, this is also normal, after all, if you fall in love with me through self-hypnosis How can you play this game after falling in love with someone, putting aside all your distracting thoughts and playing house with her? So, you must put on an insurance policy, let you fall in love and fall in love, and you still have to do business."

Ashe grinned.

What Amy said was exactly what happened in his dream just now.

Yes, he dreamed of the teacher again, ten days later, ten years later, he grew up from a six-year-old boy in a remote village to a fifteen-year-old boy.

However, it is said that it is ten years, most of the time is also fleeting fragments, and what really made him feel personally was only a short morning, when he woke up from the bed, worked with the teacher, and the last conversation .

talk...

The words and sentences of that conversation reappeared in Ai Xi's mind. He remembered it very clearly, and it was different from the ignorant 15-year-old boy in his dream. In reality, he had enough experience to understand this passage and understand the teacher For his expectations, understand the teacher's selfless love for him.

Of course, I also understand the word "champion" in the last oath.

To Ai Xi in the dream, this is just a simple expectation from the teacher, but in the eyes of Ai Xi in reality, this is the most obvious hint - what Amy has repeated many times, the so-called Slaanesh The game behind the book, and his potential as a champion seed.

Yes, shortcuts do come with a price. The "they" hidden behind the Book of Slaanesh gave Ashe a shortcut to bypass Amy's line of defense, comprehend love, and reach the advanced level, but they buried it in the shortcut. Foreshadowed.

They don't allow Ashe to give up the championship road because of love.

"It can only be said that they are quite thoughtful. With my temperament, I wandered around with Laplande for two or three years when I was not in love. I fell in love with the teacher. The next step is of course to go to Syracuse with her. Gudang is just a good kitten, a game? A ball game."

Ashe sighed, although he was slapped, he didn't complain, after all, their every move has been planning for him, without them, he would have died after being headshot by a sniper rifle in his previous life, and Almost all the achievements in this life come from the Book of Slaanesh. Whenever there is a crisis, it is their backhand who jumps out to save the scene... Sometimes when thinking of them, Ashe will subconsciously make up a picture With the image of a loving father and nurse, even if they know that they have other plans, it is difficult to generate negative emotions.

Moreover, the most important thing is that although they are aloof and godlike, they take care of his self-esteem and free will as a human being very carefully every time they pose with Ashe—from this perspective, it’s a bit like A shit-shoveling officer who treats cats as masters?

Like this time.
