Well, it's quite weird, right?
Lu Mian shook his head slightly, calculated that his working time was up, and walked towards the door of the health room, intending to finish his work for the day.
Just then, the door of the health room moved.
There was no knock on the door, but the door that was originally tightly closed creaked open at an angle, and a white-haired ball with a graceful but not very smart figure poked half of its body out from it.
If it’s not Kiana, who else could it be?
Seeing Lu Mian looking at her without saying a word, Kiana, who had a small schoolbag slung over her shoulder, was not at all shy. She smiled and slipped into the health room through the crack in the door, then closed the door behind her.
After doing all this, she shook her braids and said:
"Hey, A-Mian, are you still working now?"
You came in and closed the door, does it make any difference whether it is working hours or not?
Thinking of this, Lu Mian sighed lightly, walked to Kiana without saying a word, took her in his arms and brought her to the leather chair behind his desk where he often sat, then pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
He didn't say anything, just leaned his head and stared at the girl next to him, as if saying "please start your performance now".
Seeing this, Kiana cooperated very well. She took out a book, a notebook and a pen from the small school bag she was carrying and started copying silently.
While copying, he sighed and made a bitter expression as if saying "I'm really sad, come and ask me what happened."
Lu Mian just quietly looked at Kiana who suddenly pretended to put on a mask of pain, with a smile that could not be wiped away from his eyes.
In fact, this is not the first time Kiana has done this.
She had done this once before when she came to the health room yesterday, with the same posture and expression.
Since he still couldn't figure out the other party's intentions after all this, Lu Mian might as well stop being a psychologist and become a fitness coach.
Doing meaningless copying doesn't seem like pretending to study hard, but more like, acting like a spoiled child?
Guessing with certainty in his heart, Lu Mian smiled lightly, as if he was extremely distressed and said:
"Hey, what are you copying so hard? How about I help you copy some?"
Hearing this, Kiana's blue eyes suddenly lit up, and the hair on her head began to move like a radar. "Amien, you are quite caring, but this is not good after all, right? After all, it is Aunt Jizi's punishment for me alone."
Maomao Chong said so, but although she said no, her body was extremely honest and naturally pushed the book and pen in front of Lu Mian while trying to refuse.
Lu Mian stared at the book and pen silently, then looked at Kiana who had a "smart" look on her face, and suddenly smiled with relief.
But he didn't say much. He picked up the pen and started copying the paper that the other person had written on it like a ghost.
Seeing this, Kiana on the side grinned and then walked behind Lu Mian to gently massage his shoulders.
Lu Mian was copying the text while feeling the strength coming from the slender hands on his shoulders.
Sometimes it's light, sometimes it's heavy, totally unskilled, but anyway there's a special charm called immaturity and the girl's sincere feelings mixed in it.
Well, the trapezius muscle shouldn't be pinched to the point of necrosis.
With this judgment in his mind, afterimages kept flying out of his hands. His expression remained unchanged and he took the opportunity to ask:
"You said that this task of copying texts was given to you by teacher Muliangta Himeko as a punishment?"
“Yes, yes.” Seeing that Lu Mian finally asked the question in her mind, Kiana became excited, with a trace of indignation on her pretty face. “I just didn’t do the homework assigned by Aunt Ji Zi. Is it necessary to punish me like this? This is a full fifty times!?”
After hearing the whole story, Lu Mian looked at the rather long text in the textbook and nodded slightly, but did not rush to stand aside.
Under normal circumstances, the number fifty times is more or less abstract.
But considering Kiana's refusal to plead guilty, repent, and her attempts to establish connections, this punishment is surprisingly reasonable.
And it seems that Kiana's motive for spending two days to train him has completely surfaced.
As everyone knows, Kiana, Himeko Murata, Mei Raiden, and Bronya live together in Himeko Murata's teacher dormitory.
Now, Himeko Murata is an "enemy" to Kiana.
Given Mei Raiden's personality, she would definitely not support such rebellious behavior as not doing homework.
As for Bronya, who didn't have such a good relationship with her, she would probably just mock "stupid Kiana" or simply not care about such things.
So, who should Kiana, who is still a little unconvinced, go to for recognition?
The answer seems to be self-evident.
"Anyway, I really feel that copying the text fifty times will not help me study at all. What do you think, A Mian? Can you give me some advice?" As she spoke, Kiana shook Lu Mian's body coquettishly.
Lu Mian, who was rocked back and forth by the rocking music, had a slightly trembling voice, but it was still gentle. "It is indeed not very reasonable to copy the text fifty times."
However, before the girl behind him could show a happy and proud expression of being recognized, he added further:
"But from the perspective of Muryōta Himeko-sensei as a teacher, there was actually nothing wrong with what she did."
"Ah?" Kiana, who was a little confused by the theory of relativity, tilted her head and stared at Lu Mian with her spring-like eyes.
In response to this, Lu Mian slightly reduced his words, "Don't look at me like a traitor. Copying as punishment is essentially a punishment, not for learning knowledge.
"If you are not severely punished, other students will follow your example and not do their homework, and the class will be unable to control them. Kiana, let me ask you now, if you were a teacher and encountered a student who did not do his homework, what would you do?"
His tone was very soft, so soft that it didn't sound like he was giving advice or enlightening others, but rather more like a whisper between close friends.
It's impossible to feel disgusted with it.
Kiana thought about it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that writing as punishment was the best way to deal with it.
Inspire with your heart and teach with words of love?
The problem is that she didn't listen...
Due to the limited viewing angle, Lu Mian couldn't see the expression on Qiyana's face, nor did he try to look up. He just tapped the notebook with his knuckles, "I have finished copying this time. How many more times do you have? I will copy them for you."
"No, no, this is the last time." Kiana, who didn't hold a grudge, put aside her thoughts and leaned forward to look at what Lu Mian had copied. "Wow, Amian, your handwriting is so beautiful."
The original posture of the two people was not considered to be out of line, but everything changed when the silly girl leaned her delicate body forward.
Feeling the softness and rubbing against the back of his head, Lu Mian opened his mouth but in the end, nothing came out.
He didn't pay much attention to the handwriting.
He can get more than 600 points in the sports school, so there is nothing wrong with him practicing calligraphy in his spare time.
Kiana reached out and picked up the notebook, quietly appreciating the sharp yet smooth handwriting left by Lu Mian on it.
It seemed like he was performing a sword technique as he moved back and forth.
Thinking of this, a girl who was impressed by his handsomeness spoke softly:
"A-Mian... Can you teach me how to write? Everyone says my handwriting looks like a dog's crawling..."
Hearing this, Lu Mian laughed, "Of course."
It is not surprising that Kiana's handwriting looks like a dog's crawling. It is more surprising that she can write even though she grew up with Siegfried, a careless man.
"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Ah Mian," Kiana said as she began to put her textbooks and pens into her schoolbag one by one. "This text is so beautifully copied that I can't bear to give it to Aunt Jizi. I'll go back and copy it again."
After saying this, he trotted away with a smile on his face.
Lu Mian watched Kiana leave, and only looked away when her pretty figure completely disappeared from his sight.
It’s worthy of being called a bug. Just looking at it can make people feel relaxed and happy.
I hope she can always keep this innocence and romance, and stay happy and cheerful.
Lu Mian looked out the window at the sky gradually darkening, then stood up again and prepared to leave work.
Just at this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, and then a beautiful girl with long purple hair pushed the door open and walked in.
It's Raiden Mei.
Seeing this, Lu Mian, knowing that he couldn't leave for a while, sat back in his chair and raised his hand to signal Raiden Mei to find a place to sit.
Mei Raiden carefully closed the door of the health room behind her, then sat down at the desk.
She looked a little embarrassed, but her first words were very classic:
"Lu Mian, I have a friend..."
"Is it Kiana? Bronya? Himeko Murimono? Or the new friends you met at St. Freya's Academy? It can't be those 'friends' who are still in Changkong City now, right?" Lu Mian didn't waste any time and asked directly.
Mei Raiden was at a loss for words after this smooth little combo. She stammered for a long while before saying:
"Well... the 'friend' I'm talking about is actually myself."
Lu Mian nodded slightly in satisfaction. "That's right. Psychological problems should be discussed openly. Don't worry, there is no one else here. I will not expose your secrets and inner thoughts to others. What, don't you trust me?"
"How could it be?" Raiden Mei first firmly denied Lu Mian's statement, and then revealed her confusion, "Although I have been living an ordinary and dull life in St. Freya Academy for a while, I still have doubts about 'myself' to this day."
Chapter 3 Treating Ji Zi (Two in One)
After Lu Mian's words of advice, Mei Raiden also let go of the shyness that restricted herself. "Although I have been living an ordinary and dull life in St. Freya Academy for a while, I still have doubts about 'myself' to this day."
"Is it because of Miss Herrscher's matter?" Although Lu Mian was asking questions, his tone contained an indescribable certainty.
As expected, Mei Raiden nodded slightly with a complicated expression.
In this case, there are many in-depth angles to the problem.
Lu Mian's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly:
"What's the matter? Are there any problems in getting along with Miss Herrscher? Or are you not used to the temporary change of identity?"
"It's about Changkong City..." As she said this, Mei Raiden lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips.
Hearing this, Lu Mian raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised at all.
Because this is normal, so normal that there is no need to be surprised.
The third collapse broke out in Changkong City and spread to surrounding cities, directly causing the deaths of millions of people.
As the third Herrscher born in the third Honkai Impact, Mei Raiden naturally became the only "culprit" in the open.
Even she herself thinks so.
When he woke up, he found that everything had changed, and he was inexplicably charged with the serious sin of "killing millions of people".
I'm afraid there isn't a single mentally sound person in the entire world who can accept something like this?
When her family fell into poverty and her status in school plummeted, and she suffered from cold-violent school bullying, the thought "It would be great if the world ended" came to Mei Raiden's mind more than once.
But that was just a thought. To be honest, deep down she didn't want to see this happen, so it was normal for her to feel confused and have a gloomy mood of self-blame.
However, what Mei Raiden didn't know was that she was just an unlucky person who took the blame in this incident. In addition, it was very likely that as a Herrscher, she actually had no direct connection with the deaths of millions of people.
Based on the information Lu Mian currently knows, it can be confirmed that:
The third collapse was planned from beginning to end by that crazy woman in the trench, Cocolia. Perhaps she also had some external help, but she was definitely the biggest one among them, and her deeds were too numerous to list.
Because of her deliberate frame-up, Mei Raiden's biological father, Ryoma Raiden, who was the president of Massive Electric Co., Ltd., was accused of the heinous crime of "defrauding approximately 34 billion US dollars under the guise of financing the development of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field constraints." Not only was he dismissed from his position as president by the board of directors, he was also imprisoned and his reputation plummeted.
This action also caused Mei Raiden to fall from a noble lady to the daughter of a criminal overnight, and she suffered from school bullying for a long time.
This is not all. The most outrageous thing is that in order to achieve her own goals, Cocolia has been deliberately increasing the concentration of Honkai energy in Changkong City, and personally triggered the third Honkai.
Therefore, it is very likely that the third Honkai Impact 3rd broke out first in Changzora City, and then Raiden Mei became the Herrscher.
Instead, it was Mei Raiden who became the Herrscher and caused the third Honkai Impact.
The order of precedence is important.
Lu Mian remained silent, sorting out the information he had one by one, but ultimately chose not to tell it all to Raiden Mei.
The reason is very simple. He knew the "plot" in advance and realized that Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned because he was framed by Cocolia, and the third collapse was also organized by Cocolia.
The truth about the former is a scandal involving hostile forces in the Destiny Database. It has a low priority and is not encrypted. He has a copy of it in his hand now.
But the latter has been encrypted and no relevant information can be found, so it is not easy to tell it to Raiden Mei and ask her to believe it.
And so, the two of them looked at each other in silence.
A long time, a long time.
Lu Mian just made a new move.
But he casually pulled out a piece of white paper and split it in half, tearing one half into pieces and folding the other half into a paper rose.
After doing all this, he gathered the scraps of paper together and threw them into the trash can, then raised his hand and gave the paper rose to Raiden Mei.
Mei Raiden, who didn't know that this was the answer to the "question", misunderstood. A shy blush quietly appeared on her fair face, but she did not refuse. She lowered her head slightly to take the paper rose and secretly admired it.
After looking at it for a while, he said, not knowing whether to be shy or happy:
