Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

After leaving Hanshi, the four girls walked together in the direction of Shrek Academy.

Since it is said that the restrictions will be opened so that outsiders can also watch the ceremony, Shrek Academy will naturally open its doors to welcome outsiders.

But the open area naturally cannot be the entire area. As the first college in the mainland with five thousand years of heritage, many of Shrek Academy's heritage cannot be exposed casually.

Prepared for these spectators is a large temporary platform built for the purpose of watching the ceremony.

This platform can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Although it is a bit small compared to the huge population of Shrek City, it is enough to show Shrek's sincerity.

Non-Shrek spectators will go directly to the viewing platform under the guidance of internal students from Shrek Academy and are not allowed to enter other unopened areas, otherwise they will still be regarded as intruders.

Students from the outer courtyard also have an area to watch the ceremony, and their location is better than the viewing platform specially provided for outsiders.

However, in order to accompany Ji Yunruo and Heping Xinyan, Fuya and his wife did not make this choice. Instead, they went to the outsiders' viewing platform together.

The viewing platform is facing the direction of Poseidon Lake. Standing here, you can easily have a panoramic view of the entire Poseidon Lake.

The legendary Poseidon Lake is quiet and beautiful. Under the night, the soft moonlight shines on this clear sapphire-like water.

Above the lake, a huge golden tree seemed to block out the sky and the sun. The broad crown almost covered the entire lake. Under the cover of the moonlight, golden light spots slowly emerged from the golden tree itself, floating in the air.

Flying lightly in the sky, like fireflies, lighting up the dark night.

The Golden Tree is rooted on an island in the middle of the lake. Compared to the crown of the Golden Tree, the island appears quite petite, but no one dares to underestimate it.

Whether it is Poseidon Pavilion, one of the top powers in the mainland, or the mysterious Shrek Inner Courtyard, which is rarely exposed to the world, they are all located on this small island called Poseidon Island.

Poseidon Lake is not a restricted area within Shrek Academy. Although you cannot go to Poseidon Island along Poseidon Lake, students from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy can still practice or play and rest by Poseidon Lake.

Therefore, Fuya and Yingshuang, who have long been accustomed to such beautiful scenery, behaved quite calmly. The situation was different for Ji Yunruo and Heping Xinyan, who had never seen them before. Seeing this long-famous Poseidon Lake for the first time, the two of them were excited.

He couldn't help shouting, which attracted a lot of looks from around him.

As a Hanshi clerk, there were still many diners who knew the four of them, and many people came up to say hello to them.

Although the Poseidon Fate Conference has not officially started yet, the auditorium is noisy and there is already a lively atmosphere.

"Fuya? Why do I feel that you have something on your mind?" Yingshuang touched Fuya on the side with both shoulders and asked in a low voice.

"I was thinking..." Fu Ya paused, her mind flashing back to Qi Han's solemn and anxious expression just now, "Did the boss misunderstand something?"

"He...did he think that Senior Sister would also participate in Poseidon Fate?"

"Huh?" Ying Shuangshuang blinked and suddenly smiled, "No wonder the boss's expression is not very good."

…

Watching the four girls leave, Qi Han silently closed the door of Hanshi's shop. The palm of his hand holding the door handle was a little white from the exertion. His head slowly rested against the door, and the broken hair on his forehead fell slightly to cover it.

His face is covered with no expression.

"Ruyi, what should I do?"

Qi Han's voice was unusually low and confused.

"What should I do? According to your usual schedule, it's time to go to bed at this time."

"Don't make trouble..." Qi Han raised his head slightly, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "How can I sleep at this time?"

So Ruyi also fell silent.

After a long while, she spoke quietly, "I'm just a system with no emotions. What's the use of asking me about emotional matters?"

"But relationships, don't they have to be mutually beneficial? Do you think... do you really like her?"

"Of course..." Qi Han suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth to speak, but was slightly stunned in place.

Do I... like her?

After standing there for a long time, Qi Han made a move.

"Squeak."

He casually pulled a chair over in the store, sat down weakly, lowered his head again, and only smiled bitterly after a long while.

"You're right. I don't even know if I really like her. My current low mood seems more like hypocrisy."

"I still remember that in my previous life, I liked a girl. She was very nice to me and her interests and hobbies were very similar to mine." There was a trace of reminiscence in Qi Han's eyes.

"At that time, I felt that she and I were so well matched that we would be able to be together happily forever."

"But then..." His face darkened, "Later, the girl's parents were unwilling to let her marry me. They felt that I was not doing my job properly, so they forced her to marry another boy that her parents liked very much."

"But you can't blame her parents." Qi Han shook his head, "The profession of a gourmet up owner is not like a serious job. If I had the system at that time, I could open my own restaurant and become a good chef. I would probably do it later. The story would be different."

"When I first met Yu Lianxin, I thought she looked a lot like the girl I liked in my previous life." Qi Han paused, "The girl in my previous life failed to be with me in the end. I feel regretful that I have never been able to let go of her, and I have never liked anyone else since then."

"So when I met a girl who looked so similar to her in this world..." Qi Han smiled bitterly, "Even if you said that the two people have nothing to do with each other and that the similarity is just a coincidence, I still hold a trace of luck in my heart. "

"Every time I see Yu Lianxin, I can't help but want to get closer, and get closer..." He shook his head, "But, I can't tell myself, what is the purpose of this?"

"Sometimes I wonder if it's because I can't forget the girl from my previous life that I use her as a substitute."

"So I've known Yu Lianxin for so long. Apart from occasionally looking for opportunities to see her under the pretext of serving food, I don't dare to do anything else out of the ordinary." With a slight sigh, Qi Han continued, "If in my heart It's unfair to her to pursue her while thinking about the last one."

"Well..." Ruyi suddenly couldn't help but say, "Have you ever thought... maybe, I mean maybe, maybe even if you chase me..."

"I can't catch him either."

Qi Han: “…”

The emotions that had been brewing for a long time were shattered by Ruyi's words.

Qi Han was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, "That's right, then I'll put aside the pretentiousness."

Standing up and putting the chair back to its original position, Qi Han's face showed a hint of relaxation and relief.

Go upstairs and change your clothes to watch the ceremony!

"Are you still going?"

"Why not?" Qi Han smiled, "I've never seen Poseidon Lake. Of course I have to go and see it. I haven't seen what the golden tree on the island looks like."

"If she really holds hands with someone else, then I will give up completely and I can make money honestly."

"Isn't it great to make money? What's the use of having a girlfriend."

"If she hadn't participated in Poseidon Fate..."

"Let's talk about it then, I haven't even written out my horoscope yet."
