Chapter 2223

"... nothing happened, nothing happened, everything was fine."

This is a lie, even lanli himself does not believe: things have happened, things have changed, nothing is good now, whether the future will be better is uncertain, even if there is a future... This is a mirage like lie.

But apart from lies, lanli didn't know what he should say or do, which was the only way in his mind: he repeated the words like "placebo" over and over again, hoping to inject a little hope into Edith, wake up Edith's softness, and win Edith's trust again.

Lanli always kept patience, inch by inch, carefully close to Edith, for fear that her slightly excessive movement might disturb her, and then she turned and ran away, so that she would disappear forever and never return to his familiar life.

"It's OK. Everything's OK."

Lan Li forced himself to repeat, even if there was a slight tremor in his voice, even if there was a slight blockage in his chest, and even he began to doubt himself, he still did not give up, just like lighting a torch in the severe winter, weakly but stubbornly trying to light up the whole night, guiding Edith to find the way back.

"Edith, it's Langley. I'm here. It's all right."

Finally, Edith slowly raised her head, like a frightened fox, and explored around with her spare light. After confirming that there was no crisis around, her eyes fell on Lan Li uneasily and hesitantly, and the two eyes exchanged quietly.

Without any hesitation, lanli met Edith's eyes firmly and steadfastly, and conveyed the warmth in her heart with her eyes

believe me. I'm Langley. I've always stood here. I've never left.

Time seemed to freeze. Edith watched lanli for a long time, seemed to be testing the environment, and seemed to be looking for the direction. The time spent was so long that the passage of time lost its meaning. But lanli never wavered and never gave up. Finally, Edith's shoulder line finally relaxed and slowly opened the door.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

The cold winter wind came in like this, and an invisible wall was erected between lanli and Edith, which seemed insurmountable; But in the end, Edith took the first step, and lanli's efforts and persistence paid off. Finally, things began to change.

That's a good thing.

Lanli tries to move forward, but he is afraid that his action will disturb Edith again. In the end, he can only stand still and ask Edith's opinion with his eyes: can I move forward? Can I reach out? May I help you? The gentle and resolute eyes, tirelessly send out the inquiry signal, always keep patience, even if it takes a whole day, he will never give up.

Edith could detect the rigidity of lanli, and the confusion and fear hidden behind her eyes. She burst out a smile. "It's my honor to make the invincible lanli appear so panicked."

But lenley didn't smile.

The more brilliant the smile was, the more sour Lan Li's mood was, because he knew that the pain behind the smile might never be detected.

Blue Li so quietly watching Edith, but let Edith a little uncomfortable, she slightly restrained a little smile, "I'm ok." Edith forced herself to straighten up and take the initiative to meet Blue's eyes, pretending to be calm and said, "I'm serious. I'm ok. It's just a little bit of conditioning. You know, what's left over from the battlefield can't disappear in a short time. I'm just an instinctive reaction. I'm really OK. "

Lenley didn't believe it.

But Langley didn't say anything. He just looked at Edith calmly.

That kind of calm made Edith uncomfortable. She tried to be calm, but she didn't hold back after all. She lowered her eyes to hide her confusion. She didn't like Langley's eyes. Then the whole person began to get restless, "no! Don't look at me with the eyes of the weak! I am not! I'm not a loser! I'm not weak, either! I don't need sympathy and help! I! unwanted! I don't need to be saved! I'm not a victim! Do you understand? Lenley? Do you understand? I'm not a victim! I don't need salvation, I don't need it! "

The cry after cry, however, let out all the pain in her heart, and Edith's accumulated protective armor fell apart.

Lan Li couldn't bear it.

There is an impulse in his heart that drives lanli forward. He wants to give Edith a hug and tell her that everything will be OK. But he knew he couldn't.

Because he's not sure if things will get better; Also because Edith refused to be a weak man.

Lan Li forced himself to stand in the same place, quietly watching Edith, waiting for her to vent all her emotions, then he said, "even soldiers need their teammates, don't they?"

Edith's shoulders stiffened slightly, and the excitement left behind by the roar and roar stopped a little, but she still buried her face in her hands, without speaking or moving.

Lan Li tried to keep calm, showing a smile, "not only the weak need help, everyone needs, even the most powerful soldiers, also need the support of teammates and backup help. Everyone from birth to death of this life road, only in the beginning and end of their own person, other times, we need partners. We will encounter different people and things. We will encounter different difficulties and setbacks. Sometimes we can solve them by ourselves, sometimes we can't. Accepting help does not mean weakness; It's really cowardice to know that you can't help but still refuse to help. "

"Other people's sight and vision always exist objectively, and we can't change it; However, only when you identify yourself as a victim can you become a weak person. "

"Edith, I'm standing in front of you now. I've never seen you as a weak person, just like you've never seen me as a traitor."

Even if Langley left Hall's house, even if Langley stood against George and Elizabeth, even if Langley attacked Chris Evans... Edith never regarded Langley as a traitor. Not before, not now and not in the future. Because he never changed.

After that, instead of continuing to talk, lanli calmed down, stood in the same place and watched Edith quietly. He knew that she needed time and space.

"Don't..." Edith's irritability still prevailed, "don't pretend you know everything, don't pretend you are like God, don't! You... You don't know anything! You never know how that feels? Because you just stand under the spotlight and enjoy all the applause and cheers! "

lousy choice of word.

Edith didn't know what she was talking about, but she blurted out.

"I... I can't control myself, you know? I can't control it! I don't know what happened to me, I don't know what I should do, sometimes I don't know myself, I don't know the answer, do you understand, I don't know! Now I'm like a fool, I don't know anything, I can't control anything, so what should I do? "

"I don't know what to say, I don't know how to communicate with Chris, I don't even know how to get along with you. I feel like a traitor, so I left the front line, left the innocent civilians there, left my colleagues there, only I survived, I betrayed them

"I don't know what I should think! I don't know how to face London! I don't even know how to find the right way in the parking lot! Who am I? Who am I? I don't know myself now! Sebastian, tell me what I should do

Edith hugged her head in agony and fell into a deep torment, revealing a sense of madness in her bones.

Lanli's nose is slightly sour. This is the real Edith. After he survived, the darkness that never released finally broke out. The bloody scars were exposed in front of him. It seems that the raging cold wind may destroy Edith at any time - some things can't be overcome through hard work, The complexity and difficulty of life has never been black or white.

Lanli doesn't know how to help Edith, but he knows that only when he looks squarely at the wound can he be cured, and escape can't solve the problem.

"Edith, I'm here." Langley firmly said that no matter what the problem, he will face with Edith.

Edith slowly raised her head and looked at Lan Li in a dazed and confused way. The helpless light in her eyes finally showed its original appearance, but the focus and focal length still failed to condense, so she searched in vain. It seemed that she could not understand what Lan Li meant.

"I'm here all the time." Langley repeated that the simplest words have incomparable power, just like Edith supported him at the beginning, now it's his turn to support Edith. Until now, the meaning of "family" has taken root in the blood of the hall family.

From Edith to Arthur, then to Philip, and finally back to Edith, the seeds of the hall family finally found the soil.

The tears in Edith's eyes coagulated slowly, and then she got rid of her eyelashes and fell down. She choked and said in a low voice, "blue li... I..." with a slight pause, though it was hard, she still insisted, "I need help."
