If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 15 The Gate of Cassel

Lin Nian closed the private room door with a thud, as if the fiery atmosphere in the door was locked, and a door separated two worlds.

He didn't go to the bathroom, but took two pieces of toilet paper from the cabinet and walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant. There was a girl squatting there drinking, and the sound in the store was playing "Quiet", which sang "Don't worry too much, I will always have a good time, you have left far away, and I will walk away slowly," the girl cried while listening to the song.

The sound of beer opening suddenly sounded crisp and sweet.

Su Xiaoqian turned his head and saw that Lin Nian was holding a can of Coke in his hand and picking a pull ring in his hand. Carbon dioxide was constantly pouring out of it, making a squeaking sound.

"Want to drink?" Lin Nian asked.

Su Xiaoqian didn't know how to say this for a while, and stared blankly at Lin Nian who was holding a cola.

"Aren't you going to drink?" Seeing that Su Xiaoqian didn't take it, Lin Nian took the coke back and put it to his mouth to drink.

Su Xiaoqian didn't know if it was because of the urge to drink or something. He suddenly got up and grabbed the Coke from Lin Nian's hand and drank it. Finally, he covered his mouth and burped lightly.

"Oh" Lin Nian looked at the Coke that had been robbed with regret. He bought this can of Coke at the front desk with his own pockets.

"Are you really leaving?" Su Xiaoqian asked, putting the empty Coke can at his feet.

"Yeah." Lin Nian nodded.

"Why is it so sudden?" Su Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask Xiang Linnian when he was affirmed.

"Is this sudden?" Lin Nian asked Su Xiaoqiang, "The other classmates are all happy for me."

"Are you happy?" Su Xiaoqian stood up and cleaned up his mood. He suddenly reached out and patted Lin Nian's shoulder. The pat was not enough, and he patted it twice.

Lin Nian didn't hide or say anything, Su Xiaoqian was silent for a long time before raising his head and said, "Yes, this is a happy thing, I should be happy for you!"

"If when you say happy, you mean running out with a wow cry, you are indeed very happy." Lin Nian said jokingly.

Su Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked into the hot pot restaurant, but suddenly she stopped and asked, "Did you know this long ago? "

"It's very early." Lin Nian said.

Su Xiaoqian nodded to himself, strode into the hot pot restaurant, and said without looking back, "Since everything that happened today is happy, we should celebrate! Go, go back, let's drink some more!"

"I'll come buy another bottle of Coke." Lin Nian shouted while standing at the door of the hot pot restaurant, looking at Su Xiaoqian's back.

"Coke is boring! I want to drink!" Su Xiaoqing's voice floated over from a distance, and she walked very fast.

In fact, walking is more like running away. It seems that if you walk faster, you can get rid of what happened just now and start over.

The inexplicable Lin Young sighed softly. He bent down and picked up the Coke can that Su Xiaoqian drank. Looking at the lipstick mark on the mouth of the can, he couldn't help but murmur, "How old are you?"

"It's not too early for girls to learn makeup." Someone teased what he said behind him.

Lin Nian turned back subconsciously, and saw the blonde girl leaning against the door of the hot pot restaurant behind him with a can of Coke, looking at him with a half-smile. The light was smeared into a charming golden color.

"Senior Mandy." Lin Nian straightened up and nodded in greeting, "It's such a coincidence that you are also eating hot pot here?"

After leaving the Regent Hotel, when he saw Mandy again, Lin Nian called him "senior sister".

"How do you know I ate hot pot? Is it just me standing in front of the hot pot restaurant with a can of Coke?" Mandy asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lin Nian glanced at the corner of Mandy's mouth, where there was still a bit of hot pot oil that was not wiped clean. Obviously, this guy had just eaten in the store.

"Is there anything dirty on my face?" Mandy noticed that Lin Nian had been staring at her face and quickly turned back to take a photo at the glass door.

"The corner of the mouth, here." Lin Nian indicated the location of Mandy's hot pot oil. Mandy quickly took out the toilet paper and wiped it clean, then looked at Lin Nian and smiled awkwardly, obviously realizing that the line he just played handsome was stupid.

Lin Nian sighed and asked, "So why are you here, Senior Sister?"

"Didn't I say it before? I want to try the local specialties." Mandy sniffed the aroma of the hot pot base in the air and revealed happiness: "You can only eat healthy meals with Professor Manstein. If you haven't seen it for a long time, you should reward yourself."

"So you're following me?" Lin Nian looked up and down Mandy and asked seriously.

"Following you? Hahaha, don't make me laugh, little junior brother." Mandy waved his hand and smiled: "Are you a dangerous person with alchemy items or a mixed blood?"

Halfway through speaking, Mandy suddenly stopped, and immediately put the can of Coke in her mouth and drank Coke.

"What are alchemy items? And mixed blood?" Lin Nian duo glanced at Mandy, who immediately looked away and drank Coke while showing his good figure.

"It's nothing, you're just talking nonsense as a senior." Mandy drank Coke in a hurry, coughing loudly to cover up her gaffe.

Lin Nian glanced at her a few more times, and realized that the other party really didn't seem to have any more to say, so he gave up and asked, "Do you have anything else to do? I'll go back if it's okay."

"Did you not like that girl just now?" Mandy asked suddenly.

Lin Nian paused, looked at her and said, "You said you didn't follow me, you were eavesdropping just now, right?"

"I'm sitting close to the door, and you guys are talking so loudly, I can't hear you, I'm sorry for my hearing." Mandy's face was innocent, but the next second his face was full of constrictions: "Junior brother, you have a story. , I smell youth!"

"Okay, Senior Sister, if I have nothing to do, I will go back to eat." Lin Nian said with a sigh.

"It's really not cute junior. Compared with you and my other junior, he is much smarter and more sensible. He knows how to please senior me - but there is actually something to do with you tonight." Mandy leaned against the glass door holding a cola. Looking at Lin Nian sideways, he said, "Lin Nian is just a senior. I'm busy. I want to ask you a question. Do you know that people need to make different choices at each stage of their life to determine the path they will take in the future? Then Such a fork in life that once you choose, your future can only follow this path, there is no such thing as Save/Load.”

"Sister, did you major in philosophy at Kassel College?" Lin Nian asked curiously.

"No, although I'm a liberal arts student, my main research on ancient history is equivalent to archaeology." Mandy shook his head: "Now that I tell you this, you can also understand that your senior sister, I drank too much and became philosophical tonight. I want to talk to you about life."

Does drinking too much Coke count as too much?Lin Nian glanced at the Coke in Mandy's hand imperceptibly.

"As for your question, Senior Sister, I can only say that even if I can't turn back the path I chose, I have to keep going. I never regret the choice I made." Lin Nian looked back at the hot pot restaurant behind the glass door. said the bustling crowd in the aisle.

"In this case, you should also understand that after you choose one path, the other path will pass you by forever, right?" Mandy lowered her head and squeezed the half-drinking Coke can, pressing down on the crispy aluminum skin. Click.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Lin Nian asked in a sparse and ordinary tone.

"You need to talk over your head, little brother." Mandy looked at Lin Nian and pointed her temple with her index finger: "You really realize how long and difficult the path you have chosen, and the path you gave up might There are a lot of good things you can touch, but is it difficult for you to set foot in your life? Now maybe you still have a chance to go back - at least before you really set foot on the path of choice, you will always have a chance to go back."

Lin Nian put his hands on the glass door of the hot pot restaurant and was about to push it open, but stopped abruptly when he heard Mandy's words.

"Looks like you understand what I mean." Mandy scratched her head.

"Why do you tell me these words? Shouldn't you be on the side of the admissions office of Kassel College?" Lin Nian turned to look at her and asked strangely, "There is always something in your words. The victim of Yeji University. The feeling of conscience finding and persuading later people to reconsider.”

Mandy rolled her eyes decisively and patted Lin Nian on the back, and said, "Come in, you heartless guy, it seems it's too early to tell you this."

"Goodbye, senior." Lin Nian pushed open the glass door and trotted away into the crowd of people in the aisle.

Mandy looked at Lin Nian who was walking away through the glass door at the door and sighed, she whispered to herself: "Maybe when you really understand what I mean today, it will be too late to say this. Let's These people, when faced with a choice, can't see the road ahead too far - whether it is the life of a mixed race or the life of an ordinary person, but who knows which road will end in perfection?"

But after all, no one could hear what Mandy said at the moment. She drank the Coke in her hand, kneaded the can into biscuits and threw them into the trash can ten meters away, and took out the car keys with both hands. Stroll to the parking lot.Moments later the red sports car jumped out, the engine roaring across the night sky.

In the private room of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Nian, who kept pushing the toast, seemed to have a sense of turning his head and looked out of the private room, but after a while, his attention was drawn back by the students who were singing the farewell song enthusiastically.
