"My mother is sick," Lan Mengqin said in a low voice.
"Ah?" Qian Lei was shocked. "What illness? Is it serious? "
Lan Mengqin nodded gently. "It's very serious. Even Auntie Bi Ji can't treat it. It's a genetic disease in our family. It might appear after the age of forty. The patriarchs of our clan all have extremely high talent, but they all seem to have a curse. No one can live past fifty. Mom is indeed sick. Auntie Bi Ji said that it's caused by the lack of some special components in her bloodline. In this aspect, even the Federation's most advanced technology is useless. It's also useless to replenish her life energy. The more she replenishes, the more she loses. I'm her only daughter, so I must be the next patriarch. I have to go back, inherit her position, and protect our clan. I have no choice. Also, I hope to be by her side in her last few years. "
"Qian Lei, I'm really not someone who doesn't want to take responsibility. I know that the academy has been good to me and has helped me a lot. Moreover, I can't bear to part with everyone. But I have no choice. Captain is right. I shouldn't selfishly enter the inner court. I've already thought about it very clearly just now. After the graduation exam, I'll go back. I'll go back to accompany my mother and always be by her side. I'll accompany her for the last time with my father. After she leaves, I'll be the patriarch of my clan. "
Qian Lei was in a daze as he listened. His nervousness gradually eased. At this moment, he only felt an incomparable pain in his heart. Lan Mengqin had never said this to anyone. She had only endured it silently. If it wasn't because he was too familiar with her and felt that something was wrong, he wouldn't have realized what was on her mind.
Hearing her say it now, Qian Lei really had the thought of doing everything to help her.
"If you don't want to take the exam, then I won't take it either. I'll go back with you. I'll take care of your mother and protect your clan. Although I'm not as strong as you, I can still do it, "Qian Lei said without hesitation.
Lan Mengqin shook her head and said, "Are you stupid? Don't you understand? I can't. Falling in love with me is not a good thing for you. Back then, my father knew that my mother wouldn't live past 50 years old, but he still insisted on being with her. But my mother told me that she regretted it. She shouldn't have married my father. She shouldn't have brought her back to the clan. If he hadn't brought him back, their relationship wouldn't have been so good, and his father wouldn't be in so much pain now. Mom was right. If you really love someone, you have to know how to let go. Just like her, I can't escape my fate, and I won't live to be fifty years old. So, it's impossible between us. I don't want to hurt you. What's more, everyone still has to compete for the Shrek's Seven Monsters. It wasn't easy to get this qualification. Without me, you guys still have a chance. You can get Ding Zhuohan or Bing Tianliang to replace you. But if you leave as well, I'll be letting everyone down. "
"I'm telling you all this today because I want to tell you that it's impossible between us. Please keep it a secret for me. I don't want everyone to be sad because of me. Since it can't be changed, I will take the initiative to accept it. Do you understand what I mean? "
Qian Lei looked at her in a daze.
Lan Mengqin lowered her head and continued, "The family's legacy still has to be passed down. If you're willing, I will give myself to you before I leave the academy. I will even be pregnant with your child. We won't meet again in the future. Let me stay in your memory, leaving only a beautiful memory. I've been really happy to be with everyone these past few years … "
Just as Lan Mengqin said this, a roar suddenly sounded, "Lan — Meng — Qin —"
Lan Mengqin was startled by the sudden loud sound. She raised her head and looked at Qian Lei in disbelief.
At this moment, Qian Lei had completely changed, as if he had transformed. He looked at her with red eyes, like an angry lion.
"Do you know what you're saying? Do you know? You're trampling on my love for you, and trampling on everyone's feelings for you. "
He stood up abruptly and stepped in front of Lan Mengqin. Then, he pulled her up from the chair, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, bent down, and stared at her at a close distance. He said angrily, "Why didn't you say anything when something happened? Why didn't you let everyone face it together? This is the Shrek Academy, and there are many god-rank seniors here. Each of us has our own abilities, so why can't we resolve the problem with your mother? "
"Taking a step back, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father could go to your tribe for your mother, so why can't I? How is my love for you inferior to your father's love for your mother? So what if you can only live for 50 years? I'm willing to accompany you. Being sad in the future is a matter for the future. If I don't have you now, I'll be sad now, and I don't want to live now. Do you understand? "
"Do you think that separating from me now and ignoring me is good for me? Let me tell you, I'll only like you in this life, and only love you. I'll never be able to love anyone else. Without you, I'll never, ever be happy. Do you understand? I don't want your body, I want your entire person, your heart, your everything, your everything. Wherever you are, I'll be there. Whether it's a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or the universe. Even if I die, I'll die by your side. In any case, I'll rely on you for the rest of my life. Don't even think about pushing me away, don't even think about it. I'm yours, from the moment I saw you. "
After saying this, Qian Lei couldn't help but gasp for breath, and his eyes turned red.
He was more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad back. Every muscle was filled with explosive power. Lan Mengqin was only 1.7 meters tall and had a slender figure. When he grabbed her shoulders, she looked like a pitiful little beauty, as if she was about to be devoured by a wild beast.
Lan Mengqin stared straight at him, feeling the anger bursting out of him from the inside out. She muttered in disbelief, "You're yelling at me?"
Qian Lei was stunned. The monstrous aura from before disappeared almost instantly like ice melting. The expression on his face suddenly froze, and in the next moment, he seemed to realize what he had done. He quickly let go of Lan Mengqin's shoulders and stammered, "No, I, I didn't. I didn't dare … "
"You're still saying you didn't dare?" Lan Mengqin raised her voice.
The expression on Qian Lei's face collapsed instantly, and he no longer had the aggressive look from before. It was as if he had turned from a lion into a little lamb in an instant.
"I didn't dare! You know, I didn't dare. I was just a little agitated. I, I was afraid that you wouldn't want me and abandon me. I was wrong, Mengqin, I was wrong … "
Lan Mengqin snorted disdainfully. "Look at your useless appearance. Weren't you quite manly just now? "Although she said this, her eyes gradually revealed a smile. But tears began to accumulate in her smile.
Seeing her like this, Qian Lei suddenly became even more helpless. For a moment, he didn't know what to do at all. He was so anxious that his body trembled.
"Twice. You've made me cry twice today, you damn fatty." Lan Mengqin suddenly took a step forward and hugged his waist again, tightly, even tighter than before in front of the dormitory.
At this moment, only one thought flashed through her mind: It was easy to find a priceless treasure, but it was hard to find a lover.
Qian Lei's reaction was much faster this time. He hurriedly hugged her, hugging an existence that was like a rare treasure to him. The expression on his face was no longer anxious, but instead revealed a silly smile that couldn't be any more silly.
She, she cried twice, but she also hugged me twice!
