It's still Tomorrow's Ark

'absolutely okay!Now you can!I'll go there now and wait!This time I will be fully prepared!Do not worry! '

This time, we must show the charm of the model!

Looking at the news on the phone, Li Lin tapped his chest and once again ignited a little confidence.

(Ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for a blade! Ask for a reward! Ask for a recommendation ticket!)

Prologue: The story from negative numbers to zero: Chapter 32 Chapter 30 Have you been wrongly expected?

Penguin Logistics has so many locations, but the advantage is that the landmarks near Longmen can always provide corresponding directions.

After eating all the cold food, and then contacted with the mobile phone, after reporting safety to all parties, Li Lin put on his clothes and ran towards his home with small steps.

Sora isn't the kind who really wants to hurt someone, he's just looking for an explanation.Although Mostima did make a move, it's just that the number of such wonderful fights in Penguin Logistics is not too rare.

Looking at the comments and location displayed on the mobile phone, it is estimated that other colleagues of Penguin Logistics have already gone to the bar with Kong to have a party to comfort Kong. Acting alone in the cold dragon gate.

No way, he also understands.After all, Sora's appearance is much more serious than his own, and he is a man, so he must be somewhat responsible.And he himself doesn't like that kind of lively scene, and he doesn't like how to communicate with people. He prefers to play with glue and those board games silently by himself.Even though I haven't been able to sell a few until now.

'No problem? - Texas'

'No problem, nothing.For a man, this kind of thing will get used to it sooner or later, as long as you and Sora have fun.I still have to glue it together. ——Li Lin'

'I don't quite understand that stuff, but you're fine.come on. - Texas'

"Huh... this time should be a good start..."

It's just a few setbacks. After all, there are quite a lot of misunderstandings like this. It's not uncommon and not uncommon.Li Lin rubbed his palms together and let out a sigh of relief, then put the phone back in his pocket.

Looking at the hot tea soup vending machines on the street, I wanted to spend money to buy something to warm my body, but when I touched my pocket, I found that I had nothing.He could only glance unwillingly at the vending machine that looked a little sacred under the light, and he could only continue rubbing his hands and stamping his feet in the cold night, avoiding those shadowy alleys, and slowly walking towards home .

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that downstairs in his house, a girl with white hair and elegant clothes was looking at her phone, as if waiting for something.

Laplande, 15 minutes before the agreed time, has already arrived here ahead of schedule.

He doesn't seem to be as lonely and helpless as he imagined.

"Hey, Miss Laplande! Here I am!"

"Ah."

Wearing a heavy and elegant dress, the white-haired girl looked at Li Lin who was walking by the roadside in surprise.

"How did you come back from outside?"

"It's just that something happened. I haven't been here recently, but today is fine. It doesn't matter how long I want to stay today."

"I'm really interested in you and your technology."

"That's great! By the way, it's a bit cold here, let's go up and talk about it first."

He wanted to extend his hand to express his enthusiasm, but looking at the elegantly dressed and self-reliant lady, Li Lin still stretched out his hand and waved it, but in the end he couldn't show any decent etiquette.

He has touched the pit about this custom just now, and now he doesn't want to touch it a second time.He just waved his hand to signal Laplande to follow behind him, and walked towards the simple and empty home.

After returning to the somewhat gloomy home, he was most pleasantly surprised to find that the things he bought were not thrown away anywhere, but placed in the room squarely, waiting for Li Lin to send them to the office area above. .After Mostima left a note on the table that everyone went to dinner together, there was no news.

This kind of thing is also more convenient for Li Lin.

We are all colleagues and friends, and of course we have our own lives, and it is normal not to interfere with each other.

"Here, be careful what's on the ground."

"Oh……"

Once born and twice cooked.

As the lights 'snaked' on, the huge world that seemed to have not changed was once again presented in front of Lapland.

Although he has witnessed such a miracle once, the sense of oppression brought by the light and shadow and the coercion from the exquisite details still made Laplande hold his breath subconsciously, admiring those who were banned in History and stories in pictures.

After arranging an area for Laplande where he can fully appreciate all the surrounding arrangements and a small part of the scenery, Li Lin staggered towards the material table with the big bag of materials.Those materials and props were quickly sorted and neatly placed on the work table, and Li Lin also sat in a chair and entered the state.

But before entering, Li Lin paused, and asked in a low voice without looking back:

"Miss Laplande... Although it's a bit shallow, but I want to ask, will a person like you be overwhelmed by wrong expectations?"

"……What do you mean?"

"Yes, I want to ask."

"Oh……?"

Is he implying something?

Does he know who I am?Was it a Texas whistleblower?

Although his tone was still soft and polite, his expression was completely gloomy.

Laplande looked indifferently at the back figure on the work table in front of him, his brain spinning rapidly.

More than a dozen names quickly appeared in my mind, and then I denied them one by one.The origin stone weapon, the sundial, which was originally straddling the sides of the waist like a decoration, was already silently held in his hand.

She really likes this person's face, and she really has a good impression of him.But if it had something to do with that old man, or if there was something really going on, Laplande would never mind sending that pretty face and his thoughts directly to heaven.

Li Lin, who had his back to Lapland, was completely unaware of the possible crisis coming from behind him. Instead, he opened the backpack brought up from below, sifted through the equipment and materials, and put those things into the bag like a daily chat. For Laplande, the extremely sensitive topic was turned around himself.

"I feel like I'm sorry for everyone's expectations."

"...?"

"This kind of thing can't be told to people who are too familiar, it will always feel a bit wrong, but Miss Laplande is just right."

Not aware of any danger at all, Li Lin was still sitting on the chair, carefully handling the details of various models, and said casually:

"I feel that you are a good person, and you won't talk nonsense. I will give you some good scenes, so just listen to me and give me some encouragement when I am working. My unilateral request... …is it okay?"

"...I may not be a very good listener."

"It's okay, just treat it as me talking to myself. It won't involve any people or stories, it's just a catharsis of my emotions."

"Then I'll be all ears."

"Thank you. Thank you very much indeed."

Sitting on the chair, he took a deep breath, and then put on a dust mask, which made his voice tremble a bit strangely.

"Actually, I don't like my current life very much, because I am sorry for the expectations of my relatives and friends. I seem to be like this since I was a child, and no matter what I do, some people will be disappointed."

"..."

"Where do I start... It seems that I have only disappointed the people around me since I was a child... I don't seem to be a particularly good person..."

Listening to the man who sat on the workbench and didn't mind his delicate face and palms being stained with dust and debris, and was concentrating on handling the model in a soft voice, the sundial in Laplande's hand was also slowly put back. in situ.

His light silver eyes stared at his back, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything, only the black gloves rubbed against the table and made a rubbing sound.

She had to admit that she now harbored a certain paltry sense of guilt.

Then she had to admit that, looking at his hard-working back and the story he told in a low voice, she seemed to be immersed in that slightly sad story.

As the story progressed, the corners of Laplande's eyes that had been sternly lifted also eased, and finally turned into a little flat.He just silently looked at Li Lin's back, and for some reason leaked some expressions of approval and approval.

(Ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for a reward! Ask for a blade! Ask for a recommendation ticket!)

Prologue: The Story From Negative Numbers to Zero: Chapter 33 Of course I like models

In fact, it is indeed a lackluster and old-fashioned story.

Although the speaker was very good-looking and his voice was soft, for Laplande, it was an old-fashioned story that he had seen countless times.

It's nothing more than a story about an incompatible environment, increasingly intense stimulation, and behaviors that others cannot understand, that you can't have expectations for others, see the light but hesitate, and finally find that you are nothing, and even your obsessions are just dregs. .

So old-fashioned that it has happened to her countless times, countless times.

Even the person involved would laugh while talking, although he didn't know why.

But both the speaker and the listener are serious.Even if their identities are very different from each other, even if they were completely strangers a few days ago, it does not prevent them from resonating in this quiet workplace at the moment.

The story Li Lin tells is old-fashioned and boring. He lives alone in a seemingly gentle and prosperous environment, but the elders always ask him to be so-called dazzling, hoping that he can move forward according to the elders' plan.The child likes handicrafts and mechanical technology the most, but the parents veto it because it will hurt the fingers and deform the body.

The first time was a scolding, and the second time was to directly prove with actions that you will never get what you want in this home.Burn, smash, destroy everything you hold dear, and feed you unnatural things you don't like.And call these things the talents and talents that you should be born with.Then I hope you use this so-called bloodline to complete their sacred handover ceremony.

But is this kind of thing really important?It doesn't seem to be that important either.That individual has always wanted to break free from the invisible chain, wanting to prove his own existence.

However, one day, when there is really nothing left, a huge hole appears in that individual's heart.

What are we going to do?

The next road is indeed freedom, yes, but what is freedom?

Although the bird, which had long been accustomed to being restrained, broke free from the chain, it also lost the ability to fly under the invisible framework for many years.

"...but just try to get up."

Pushing the small light above his head, Li Lin lay faceless on the workbench, and performed fine processing on the small hole that was about the size of a needle tip.

"Being able to do what you want to do, gradually interacting with others, and moving forward step by step, is what I think. Although I sometimes suffer setbacks, and occasionally realize that my previous self is just a doll that is not expected, But I think we should go on.”

"..."

The answer is of course impossible, go on?

How can someone like that allow you to do what you want?How could it make you think of your own?

Looking at Li Lin's back, Laplande clenched his lips, frantically recalling those anxious and disgusting pictures in his mind.

There is no answer to this kind of question, even if you want to escape, the shadow of the past will always catch up.Even if you want to break free, just look in the mirror and realize who you are, who you really are.

All struggles, all states, ultimately just want an answer.And that answer...

"Being able to be caught up is nothing more than not escaping far enough."

Holding a small fan and blowing the material that has been gradually shaped in his hands, the voice that seemed a bit gloomy once again returned to peace and warmth.

"After all, I live for myself, and there is nothing shameful in escaping. Even if no one likes, is misunderstood, and will be ridiculed and hostile, I still think it is really great to be able to escape from that world. Now, I have Far enough away."

"Well, although many unpleasant things will happen to me alone, at the root, it is also my business. It is not because of other people's blood, or the so-called talent, but the result of my behavior. With expectations I also know that I will be disappointed later, so I can't blame others, but I won't change anything, after all, I am me."

"Fortunately, Miss Laplande, you like these models. It's really great. I haven't said these words to anyone for a long time, and I'm holding them in my stomach. I'm really sorry to let you hear them."

Give, promise a good reward.

After turning around and sending the small model that had been air-dried, Li Lin held his hands in his palms and stared blankly at Laplande, his Q-version Nendoroid, and opened his mask to reveal a big smile.
