[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Sitting in the carriage, watching Tatsuya who was waving vigorously towards her get farther and farther away, Zhaoyang's eyes suddenly became hot, as if tears would fall in the next second.This was the first time in ten years that she would be away from Tatsuya for such a long time.

But soon her wet eyes dried up in the cold east wind, Zhaoyang shrank back into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and sneezed several times.

The start of school in Zhicao is one month after the year, which is also the coldest time in winter.Not to mention that Liu Country's coldness is also famous among the Twelve Kingdoms.In this kind of weather where sleeping on the road will definitely freeze to death, she has to rush to Zhicao, but she is still afraid of the cold system.

"Winter in Liu Country is really cold, alas, I really envy Yan Country and Qing Country, at least winter is not so cold." Saying this, Zhaoyang wrapped himself up even tighter.

"I've lived for more than ten years, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Yingli laughed as she watched Zhaoyang wrap herself up like a rice dumpling, "Speaking of which, the queen of Qing Kingdom was enthroned last year."

"Ah, you mean the queen called Chizi?" Zhaoyang's lazy voice came from under the bed, "It is said that she is a fetal fruit."

"Well, her first pardon is really unexpected. What kind of country is Wa Kingdom?"

Wa country, that is, modern Japan, Zhaoyang is no stranger to this.In fact, she could understand King Jing's original intention very well. After all, King Jing lived in a world where everyone was equal, and there was no bowing or kneeling, and she came from there.

However, in essence, she and King Jing, who are both like time-traveling, are very different.King Jing is working hard to change the nature of the country.But in the past ten years, she has learned how to kneel, how to bow her head to others,

But Zhaoyang is not ashamed of this, nor will she use the pressure of life as an excuse, she is just a nobody who wants to protect herself and the people she cares about and survive, she is not wrong.

"It may not be any better than us."

"You're talking like you've been there before."

"For me, no matter where I live, I still have many troubles, big and small, don't I?" Zhaoyang replied, blowing his nose.

"That's right..."

After driving for several days, he finally arrived at Zhicao at the beginning of the school year. Before he could enjoy the grand occasion of Zhicao, after putting down his luggage, Zhaoyang hurried out with a book in his hand.

On the first day of school, the school must be overcrowded and overwhelmed. Zhaoyang bumped into someone without paying attention, and dropped his books all over the floor.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The man who collided with Zhaoyang immediately squatted down to help pick up the books.

"It's okay, I didn't notice it myself." Zhaoyang took the book from the man.

"Hey, are you going to Mr. Songbo's class too?" The man's tone was slightly surprised when he saw the name of the top book in Zhaoyang's hand.

Zhaoyang wondered, "What's wrong?"

The man laughed and pointed in the opposite direction to Zhaoyang: "Ms. Songbo's class is in that direction."

"Ah, it's over, I seem to have made a mistake." Zhaoyang is not a road idiot, but he still can't figure out the north, south, east, and west.

"I'll go with you."

If someone is willing to lead the way, Zhaoyang naturally readily agrees, "By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhaoyang."

"Ah, my name is Wu Qingshan."

"Wu Qingshan" Zhaoyang was obviously taken aback when he heard this name. In this world that is somewhat similar to ancient China but completely different, people would only use their names to introduce themselves when they are solemn. "What about that word?" ?”

"You can call me Qingshan, my character is my name."

However, Zhaoyang read his full name softly again: "Wu Qingshan..." It's really a familiar name

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Zhaoyang suddenly raised his head, "Qing Shan, by the way, are you also No.2 in your school?"

It seems that the class she belongs to is No. 2 exception income.

Speaking of this, Tsing Shan turned his head away, a faint and obscure light flashed across his eyes, and when he turned his head again, he scratched his head as before, a little embarrassed: "I am No.1 in elementary school, but because I am Half-beast, so..."

Qingshan didn't go on talking about it. It's a tacit understanding that half-beasts are not particularly popular. Although Liu Guo doesn't hate half-beasts and sea guests like Qiaoguo, he doesn't like Yanguo. Treat half-beasts and sea-guests fairly.It happened to be caught in the middle, neither hated nor liked.So it's normal to have this bias.

"I'm sorry..." Zhaoyang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seems to have gotten used to it, Qingshan looked indifferent, and said cheerfully, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Zhaoyang didn't continue the above topic, but asked another question that she cared about, "It seems that everyone in this class earns extra money, this year is really strange."

"Don't you know?"

"what?"

Qingshan looked into the distance, and her voice suddenly became low and ethereal: "Monsters have appeared in the sea area of ​​the Liu Kingdom." The sky in the Liu Kingdom is about to change.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Zhaoyang was distracted from the class for a whole day, and after saying goodbye to Qingshan after class, he hurried to find Yingli.

"Who told you about this?" Yingli's face darkened, the appearance of a monster is a terrible thing.That means Liu Guo is going into decline, and the king has already begun to lose his way.

"A friend I just met." Zhaoyang paused, and then said, "Actually, it's not impossible. There were rumors in the market that monsters appeared on the border before, but we live near Zhicao, so It doesn't matter."

"Although this is the case, we have to make our family members beware."

"I'll go back and write a letter to tell Tatsuya later. But I don't know when it will be delivered." Zhaoyang was a little depressed when he said this. There is no post office in this world, let alone a telephone. The only way is to It is trustworthy that when you are away from home, contacting has become a very troublesome thing.Of course, there is also a bird that can relay human words, and it flies very fast, but it is not something ordinary people like them can afford.

"But don't worry too much. Since the school is admitting students exceptionally, it also shows that some people above have realized this problem and want to prevent it, or hope to change it. Liuguo may not be so bad, even if it is true. If it happened, at least it won't be too wasteful." The problem between Yingli's contact-analyst.

"But the gap of not having a king on the Jade Throne is too big after all." Zhaoyang sighed, "It seems that I want to become a state official earlier before I reach the end, if not, I will take Tatsuya with me The palace will go to the official day"

"You, do you want to become a fairy so much?" Yingli laughed, shaking her head with a "hopeless" face.

"That's not it." Zhaoyang raised his chest, retracted his stomach and raised his chin, "I'm so beautiful, it would be a pity to die."

"If I become a national official, I will write you into the fairy book as my family."

Many married people will let their wives or husbands become nominal officials when they enter the court to make them into immortals. This has been a default thing for a long time.

However, Zhaoyang at this moment didn't know this, she happily put her arms around Yingli's neck: "Good buddy, I love you to death."

The time of study always goes so fast, and it has been two months since I received Daya's reply. Zhaoyang has also fully adapted to the life of Zhicao, and has made many friends.

After reading Tatsuya's reply, Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she was not there, and Pei Yuan did not do anything to Tatsuya.But thinking that even if she did, Tatsuya wouldn't say anything to her, and felt a little distressed.

"What are you thinking about?" Lulin covered her face with a book and asked her in a low voice.

"Ah, it's nothing serious." Lulin was her only female friend here, and Zhaoyang put the letter away, "What's wrong?"

"Well..." Lulin was a little hesitant: "I just want to ask."

"If you want to ask anything, just say it."

"You and Yingli are childhood sweethearts, right?"

"Yes." Zhaoyang nodded, a little strange, but seeing Lulin's shy look, he immediately reacted, "Do you like him?"

Lu Lin, who was suddenly poked at the center of the matter, jumped up from the chair and waved his hands quickly: "No, Zhaoyang, don't misunderstand."

Zhaoyang's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said, "You..."

However, before she finished speaking, the teacher roared: "Lulin, Zhaoyang, since you two don't want to go up, then go out and stand for punishment."

So she stood side by side outside the classroom.

"Zhaoyang, you won't be angry." Lulin was a little at a loss, "I'm stupid, I won't compete with you for Yingli."

Zhaoyang laughed, and patted Lulin on the shoulder: "If you like it, go after it, and I'll help you."

"Don't you mind?"

"What do I mind?" A good friend likes her girlfriends, so of course she will help match them up.

"I thought you liked him."

"Where did you find out that I like him?" Zhaoyang thought for a while, and explained: "I regard Yingli as my best friend, a friend who talks about everything. We are indeed childhood sweethearts, but for him It’s more like family to me.”

Lulin widened her very heroic eyes, with a look of disbelief: "But it seems that you two are like lovers."

"How is it possible..." Zhaoyang was taken aback suddenly, and stopped. She had always regarded Yingli as a best friend, and gradually forgot that Yingli and her were originally from a different world. She teased him, teased him, It's just a joke between good friends.But I don't know that in the eyes of others, it has another meaning.

I don't know what Yingli is thinking.

Seeing Zhaoyang's silence, Lulin also fell silent, maybe she shouldn't have fallen in love with Yingli, trying to have a place in his heart, but ever since she saw him for the first time, the one who smiled softly under the tree The boy in white lingered in her mind.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't..." Lulin was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhaoyang.

"What are you sorry for? Even if I like him, we are fair. Feelings are beyond your control. Why do you have to apologize to me. What's more, I am just a simple friend with him, so please don't have any Feeling guilty." Zhaoyang laughed.

"Then...will you help me?" Lu Lin looked expectant in his eyes.

"I'll help you, but after all, I can't control Yingli's feelings, you still have to rely on yourself."

I don't know why, after saying this sentence, a trace of pity crossed Zhaoyang's heart inexplicably, and she avoided Lulin's sight and looked into the distance.

It wasn't until later that she realized that in fact, at that time she already knew that this relationship was fruitless.
