Melissa looked at her arm that was pressed down on the counter, and her mind went blank for a moment.
~ How, how is that possible! ~
She raised her head, and saw the bookstore owner's expression as though it was reasonable but unexpected.
Lin Jie raised his brows, then smiled at Melissa and released her hand, as though he was saying "What, aren't I pretty good at arm wrestling".
~ But ….. why do I feel that he only has the muscles and tendons of an adult male! ~
~ This standard of strength, when I was 6 years old, I could already beat 10 of them, the type that could pin them to the ground. ~
~ There is no reason why I can't even win arm wrestling at 16 years old right? ~
Although she only had an Abnormal Rank evaluation, but her strength was already at the Panic Rank, it was just that the Truth Rank had not been announced yet.
~ But now, I actually lost in arm wrestling ….. ~
Melissa could not help but fall into self-doubt.
~ Could it be that the opponent cheated? ~ Remember the website: m.9biquge.
The moment the bookstore owner noticed her gaze, it was as though he had seen through her thoughts, and smiled: "I did not cheat, at such a close distance, you should have noticed it."
Indeed.
In such a small space, the distance between the two of them was so close, and their hands were tightly pressed together.
Any usage of aether, no matter how small or subtle it was, would definitely be noticed.
Therefore, the other party had indeed won the battle.
But the more she realized this, the more Melissa felt sorrow and disbelief.
Lin Jie looked at the depressed young lady in front of him who had her head lowered, and consoled her: "Actually, for a young lady of your age, to have such strength is already very impressive, in truth, I still feel that it is very strenuous, you see, at the start, there was a stalemate right?"
What he said was the truth, and his expression naturally carried an apologetic look.
~ That's right, the stalemate was as long as someone accidentally swallowed a piece of hard candy! ~
~ And it gave me the same feeling of having a bone stuck in my throat. ~
~ So uncomfortable. ~
Melissa clenched her fists tightly, even if she was a trainee knight, she still had her pride and dignity.
At the start, she was the one who provoked him, and she admitted that it was a mistake caused by her arrogance and blindness, but ….. but, she did not want to lose without knowing the reason.
"Best of three, let's do it again!"
The young girl's gaze was stern, carrying her own persistence and stubbornness. There was even a trace of solemnity.
Lin Jie was moved by her imposing manner.
Although he was a little arrogant, his fighting spirit was worthy of praise.
Lin Jie believed that he was indeed bullying a child, but he was really surprised at the very beginning.
He really didn't expect such a soft and weak little girl to have such strong strength.
"Alright, let's do it again."
Lin Jie nodded solemnly.
The two of them extended their hands out again and shook hands. Lin Jie's gaze was calm, while Melissa's expression was firm.
"Three, two, one, begin!"
Shake, shake, shake …
Melissa used all of her strength, she clenched her teeth and persevered, her expression was sinister, she stared intently at her own hand, her adrenaline surging, the veins on her forehead popping out, her originally streamlined and beautiful white arm had protruding muscles.
Lin Jie's mouth twitched.
~ Should I say, like father like daughter …. ~
But even so, the fact that she was a weak little girl still restricted her from unleashing her full potential.
~ Instead, it's a bit of a false bravado. ~
Lin Jie could not help but chuckle, he accidentally used a bit of strength in his hand, and the delicate balance was immediately broken.
"Pa."
The second round of battle ended.
Melissa sat on her seat, her hands still on the counter, her eyes were lifeless, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I should have known …."
Lin Jie smiled and said: "Alright, it's just arm wrestling, is winning or losing that important?"
He felt that it was a good thing for the child to have a good memory, if not, with her physique, what if she found someone she could not afford to offend?
"If you had a blade in your hand, you would already be dead, that's not how you fight."
Lin Jie extended his finger and tapped on Melissa's head.
~ Yue Sefu, this boorish man is not going to work, let me, this passionate man who is not willing to reveal his name, help take care of the child. ~
~ According to the original trend, she might even develop into a big sister in the school. ~
~ That's too bad, I have to get rid of her habit of arm wrestling with others. ~
Melissa raised her head, her cheeks puffed up, her face was filled with grief and indignation as if she was saying 'you bully me' … .how should I put it, she looked like an unintelligent husky.
Lin Jie retracted his hand and said nonchalantly: "Alright, I have satisfied your request, you can tell me now, why did you come to my bookstore?"
Melissa obediently said: "To borrow a book."
Lin Jie shook his head: "Sigh, you should have said so earlier, which book do you want to borrow?"
Melissa adjusted her emotions and said softly: "The book that my father borrowed, I secretly read half of it, but before I could read the ending, he almost found out — — do you have a copy here?"
She realized that the owner of the bookstore was definitely warning her because of her attitude at the start.
Melissa no longer had the misconception that the other party was an ordinary person, the person in front of her was a monster that could not be judged with common sense.
Yue Sefu had said before, a wise man submits to circumstances, an outstanding knight must know how to be flexible, and an appropriate compromise was a form of gentleness.
Lin Jie understood, ~ Seems like this is the point where the conflict between father and daughter explodes. ~
It was normal, most of the conflicts between children and their parents started from a small matter.
Then because of the children's rebellious and impatient behavior, the parents' pressure gradually intensified, and finally became an irreversible war.
Lin Jie smiled: "Of course there are, there are even other versions, but … .why don't you try to communicate with Yue Sefu?"
Melissa held her cheeks: "He is reading this book, if he knows that I know that he is reading it, he will definitely fly into a rage, why would he lend it to me."
Teacher Lin said seriously: "Fly into a rage out of humiliation? I don't think so, as long as you show understanding, I believe that he will understand your heart. Between parents and children, there is never an insurmountable gap, it is just a lack of trust. "
Melissa was startled, but then turned her head and said: "He has never understood me, he is busy with his work everyday, and every time he tests my results, he will only scold me fiercely for not doing well enough, and talk about how he was in the past."
~ So that's how it is, it is still the root of the problem — — The results are not good enough. ~
The father who was busy with work only had time to check on his daughter's homework, but neglected his child's education, causing her results to drop.
The retired soldier who was unable to properly express himself could only scold his child to improve, and wanted to use himself as a role model.
But in truth, in the eyes of the child, it was a different story.
Lin Jie was enlightened.
~ Sigh, truly pitiful parents. ~
"Since that is the case, how about I first make him see me in a new light?"
Lin Jie thought for a moment, then smiled and turned around.
He took out a "53" book from the bookshelf.
The full title was — — < Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Mock Papers >.
