Chapter 35 Self-Reflection

Leaving Ye Xing full of resentment, Nuo Ning originally planned to go home to rest and calm down, but after coming out of the secret passage and coming to the living room, she found that the atmosphere at home was not right.In general, the atmosphere that should be caused by people is not right.Grandma Linna, Adair, and Camilla openly sat at the four-corner dining table and surrounded the city.Seeing him coming, Linna tapped the glass in front of the empty seat on the table with her finger and said, "Noning, sit down."

Linna called him by his full name, which was very rare. Generally speaking, Linna would call him Nuonuo, Xiaonuo, and dead boy affectionately.

If the elder calls out the full name of the younger generation, great events will happen.

He paid attention, pulled out the chair and sat down slowly.Camila handed him a piece of paper and a pen. The paper was white and nothing was written on it.

"I said why the left eyelid keeps twitching today, so it's time for the summary meeting again. But the time for this month's summary meeting seems wrong, is it a few days earlier? Isn't it normal?" He took the pen and paper, Write the title neatly on the top of the white paper, and say: "Since it's all started, don't waste time."

No one spoke for a while.

"Why don't you speak?"

He twirled the pen a few times and knew something was going to happen.He looked at Camilla, she was the only one present that he could see through.Adair's eyes are always arrogant and unruly. As for Grandma Linna, with her poker face and poker eyes, only Camilla can tell him anything.He looked at Camilla, and Camilla looked directly at him.Except for the unconscious glance to the right, he would almost mistakenly think that today is a good weather, nothing happened, and it is a good weather for putting down the tasks on his shoulders and going to the park.

He stopped turning the pen, crossed out the word "Summary" on the paper with a thick black line, and wrote the word "Criticism" next to it.He chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, so today is a rare meeting to criticize and criticize. Then everyone can start. I will listen attentively and make serious corrections in my future work."

"Nuo Ning! What's wrong with your words today! You're so weird! Think I can't hear it!"

Linna sat for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted sharply.She originally planned to point out his lack of work in a gentle way, but today Nuo Ning's tone sounded different from usual, as arrogant and conceited as Adair.

"I didn't, Teacher Linna, you are overthinking."

For a moment, he felt very tired.why?Is it because everyone I meet today is blaming him?From the consul of the Senate, to the Versailles of the day, and now returning to his own interior of the night, some people even accused him.

he does not know.

He wanted to be quiet for a while.

And Linna seemed to be annoyed, her voice raised several times, and the form of language communication almost changed from speaking to shouting: "How dare you say this? How do I usually teach you!"

"Your original words are that whoever said this sentence with extra care proves that the suspicion is true." Nuo Ning knew it clearly, he knew it very well.He said this on purpose, admitting in a disguised form that his tone of voice today was wrong, but the implication was that he was still contradicting Linna. "I don't have a bad memory, do I?"

He is not angry.It seems that there is no anger to be angry.After suppressing his anger to a certain level, he suddenly became very calm.

He finished his point of view calmly.

"And according to my memory, the contents of today's meeting are as follows. First: I blatantly contradicted the Senate a few minutes ago, destroying the harmony between the two sessions, and embarrassing the consuls. Second: Outside of that group of bandits, accidents happened frequently in the human world, and the entire nightwalk intelligence system seemed to be paralyzed, with no effect. It caused many people to question. Third: I forcibly challenged Leicester’s magic circle at the border and fell. Entering the forest will make you fearful."

"Oh, that's right. In addition, I'm not married yet, I haven't accepted students, and I haven't reported the status of the quicksand of fortune on time. That's all, right?"

He finished all the shortcomings he could think of in one breath, his tone was as calm as the parents next door's short-sightedness, and as gentle as the voice of a grandma teaching her grandson.Unless you are very familiar with him and can hear the tricks in his words, ordinary people really think that this is a peaceful meeting.

Lena stood up, looked at him, just looked at him.

"So is there anyone else to add?"

No one answered.

He stood up, bowed politely, and left.He walked neither slow nor fast enough to hear Grandma Linna's thunderous words: "Don't chase him, let him reflect on himself."

Well, let him reflect on himself.

He walked aimlessly on the street, not knowing where he was going.He can't be so aimless, because almost everyone on the street is looking at him, he is too famous, everyone wants to chat with him, but they all think he has something important to do, and no one dares to go forward.The many gazes made him feel thorns on his back, and his feet seemed to be entwined with thorns. Every step he took, a thorn pierced him, and he was so painful that he couldn't take a step.

He was a little tired and wanted to go to a quiet place to stay.But where?It's strange no matter where he goes, everyone will look at him and ask Mr. Nuoning what he is doing.He had to find a place, someone who could listen to his chatter without revealing the secrets.

He thought of Aaron, that seemingly small child who was actually small.Now he would rather visit the children than communicate with adults.

"Teacher, are you here to see me? Or are you here to see grandpa?" Following the route I remembered, I came to Ya Lun's new home. It was Ya Lun who opened the door. Ya Lun was less than 1.5 meters tall and could only block half of the door. , he could not see anyone in the room.Perhaps William had gone out, which was what he thought.

Aaron pulled hard on the thick mahogany door, looked at him and smiled: "It should be to find grandpa, but grandpa is not at home, the teacher came in and sat down for a while."

"You still call me teacher." He patted Aaron's head, looked at this cute child, and most of the depression in his heart disappeared.A rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't seem to have taught you anything."

"A teacher is a teacher, even if you don't teach anything, you are still a teacher." Adair had his own theory, "Come in and sit down, I'll make tea."

He took off his shoes and walked into Aaron's house. When he sat on the sofa, Aaron had already taken out the tea tray.After making tea, Aaron sat across from him, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Mr. Nuoning, what do you think of the tea I made?"

Tea is served in large white porcelain cups.The cup is pure porcelain, and the tea is cloudy red.

Thinking about it... He picked up the teacup and took a sip.With just one sip, he had to put down his teacup.

Awful.

To tell the truth, he had never had such a bad cup of tea.He had drunk many teas made by people of the same age as Aaron, but none of them could brew tea at Aaron's level.He didn't spit out the first mouthful to protect the children's self-esteem.

He put down his teacup and said bluntly: "The tea you make is terrible."

The bright colors in Aaron's eyes dimmed all of a sudden. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his bright smiling face again and argued, "My tea is not that bad, it's just that the teacher is in a bad mood today."

"How do you see that I'm in a bad mood from my expressionless face?"

"Because when you come in, I feel like I've entered winter."

Excellent rant.He felt like it was winter, but by brushing his face, people automatically imagined him as spring.And when many people see him, they automatically enter the spring and feel good.

He smiled and said, "Ha, so honest."

"Teacher, you were very honest just now. You knew that I was making tea for the first time, but you didn't encourage me, and you directly said that I made tea very badly, and my heart was hurt by you. Fortunately, I have a strong self-healing ability, so I can relieve it now. Jin. But to be honest, why are you unhappy today, teacher?"

"Do you want to find out about the secrets of night travel?"

"No, I just want to help the teacher solve problems."

Aaron shook his head like a rattle, and he tried his best to prove that he just wanted to advise Nooning.If the teacher is unhappy, he will suffer continuously.

"When did you become glib." Nuo Ning smiled, and seriously said the remaining half of depression: "I just feel very tired."

"why?"

"I have a lot of problems to solve. Once these problems are not solved, the consequences will be unbearable, and every time it will be accompanied by a lot of scolding. I created a shell for myself, and I retracted into the shell when I was unhappy. But after staying in the shell for a long time, I don’t want to come out. One day, I want to leave resolutely and decisively. After writing a few sentences, I don’t want to do it anymore and walk away willfully. But I know that there are people who love me by my side. Their scolding is well-intentioned. But I just don't want to hear it today."

When Nuoning said this, he didn't expect Aaron to understand.He just wanted to find someone to talk to and let it go.

But there is one thing that can't be let go anyway.

It is painful for him to play two roles. He wants to always play that comfortable role and live an ordinary life.He wanted to resign many times, but the situation prevented him from doing so, and tens of thousands of lives were implicated in him.He has no chance.

Given the chance, he might leave.Relying on the savings of the first half of his life, he became a lazy rice moth.

"Oh, I understand." Aaron nodded, not knowing if he understood.But it also made him happy, and it was always nice to have someone to listen to.Aaron asked suspiciously: "It's a bit abstract, how about we solve it one by one?"

What he wants to solve is to solve it group by group, and now he has summed up the few things that are often mentioned.

"Marry and have children, accept students, organize night walks, ease the relationship between the Senate, apologize to relatives and friends, drink tea with Mr. Su, and solve the princess' problems."

"So many!" Aaron exclaimed in surprise, but he quickly replied: "Then teacher, you should first apologize to your relatives and friends, get married and have children, and then accept a student. For other unimportant things, just let it go." Step aside."

In Aaron's heart, these relatively unimportant things are the most important.He followed the deepest calling of his heart to do what he wanted to do, and his sanity was veiled.Do whatever you want, kid, because you don't care.

Nooning wants to be a little kid now.

He wanted to apologize to Grandma Linna, and had a quarrel with the elders, no matter right or wrong, he should apologize first.Besides, it seemed that it was really him who was wrong.

"Makes sense."

He nodded emphatically like Aaron, and wanted to rush back as soon as possible, the sooner the better.Apologizing to everyone before things got out of hand.

"I'm going back, thank you."

He picked up the awful cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.He showed Aaron the bottom of the cup to show that Aaron was right, the tea was not so bad, it was just his psychological effect.Even in his heart he still thought the tea was terrible.

He was about to get up and leave. When he reached the door, Aaron tugged at the hem of his clothes, blinked his big eyes and asked him, "Teacher, when do you plan to accept students?"

student?After being reminded by Aaron, he found that this was an imminent problem.

His time is running out.

He lowered his head, looked at Aaron and asked back, "Aren't you already my student? Why are you so anxious?"

"No, that's not what I mean." Aaron put away his cute face, his expression became serious, and he looked like a little adult: "It's the kind that can go to work at night when you grow up."

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, probably in these two days."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." He said swearingly, but changed the subject: "You can't, you're too young."

This directly hurt Aaron's heart seriously. Aaron buried his head in the corner of his clothes and begged in a low voice: "Teacher, I am not young anymore. I am 80 years old this year. I will be an adult when I am 20 years old."

He knelt down, looked into Aaron's teary eyes, and said softly, "Aaron, I can't wait for you to become an adult."
