Astral Flower

Nan Hua looked at the fair boy in front of her and blinked her eyes. "Ok."

Qing Shu Lian nodded and stood up. They had finished their meal and walked to the direction of the Block A. There were many other students who were also here, curious about the commotions.

From here, they could see that the teaching building had several broken glasses.

But no one knew what actually happened inside.

It seemed to be kept a secret heavily.

Nan Hua watched from the distance, seeing the faint shadows from the glasses reflection. The one who got there must have been caught and then interrogated heavily. It was not known what the end result would be for them to be caught in this situation.

If they were still alive, it was estimated that they would lose a few layer of skins.

Beside her, Qing Shu Lian also looked up.

In the noisy crows, the two of them looked very inconspicuous. They looked no different from the other curious students around them.

"This is only the beginning," Qing Shu Lian suddenly said.

"I know." Nan Hua was calm.

The mission to retrieve the list has only been given not long ago and there was already someone who made the attempt. She didn’t believe that the organization hadn’t planted more spies in this Military Academy A High School. There might be a few more who hadn’t made the move and currently waiting.

Waiting for the right time to take the list and began to eliminate the few talented people who were too powerful.

"Do you hate them?" Qing Shu Lian asked again.

Hate them?

Nan Hua was still staring at the window to watch the struggle of these people without any intention to help and replied, "Perhaps and perhaps not really."

"Why?"

Why don’t you hate them after being thrown to that place and suffered so much?

Qing Shu Lian wanted to ask more but in the end, his words were pushed to the bottom of his heart.

From the very beginning when he saw Feng Yu Hua acted so cautious around Nan Hua, he had some suspicion. Afterwards, he paid more attention to Nan Hua but found nothing was wrong. She looked as ordinary as possible.

But when Feng Yu Hua asked for more tools, he faintly realized that there was something wrong.

The only person whom Feng Yu Hua acted differently around was only Nan Hua. He had cooperating with Feng Yu Hua for a long time, enough to know the personality of that annoying girl.

So he has some guesses.

And Nan Hua didn’t seem to be hiding it from him. So fearless and didn’t seem to worry that he would leak out the piece of news. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Not that he would do that.

Because he would need to explain how he knew and might put himself in the dangerous position.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and turned to look at Qing Shu Lian. Her black obsidian pupil and clear eyes looked calm. As if there was nothing in this world that could make her change this indifferent expression.

"Why not?"

Qing Shu Lian fell into silence.

Nan Hua turned to look at the building again and saw that the person was already completely apprehended. The instructors should come out to make the students return.

As for Qing Shu Lian’s question.

Hate?

In the beginning, Nan Hua felt immense hatred. Hatred, anger, despair, sadness, and many other emotions. But in the end, what was the use of these feelings when it only made her more uncomfortable?

Nan Hua slowly pushed all of her emotions away, living the boring and quiet life.

Even, she thought that she would die in that avalanche and finally ended this miserable and short life.

In this short life, she couldn’t even remember when she was truly genuinely happy.

But she survived.

Survived and woke up in that hospital, only to be given a new mission and had to live another fake life. A fake personality, a fake person, and fake relationship.

It was nothing more than a never ending cycle.

By now, Nan Hua felt numb.

"Did you want to do something?" Qing Shu Lian asked another question. When he found Feng Yu Hua after her return from the Feng Family, he felt the difference. Feng Yu Hua was no longer as easy going as before, but was filled with hatred and determination.

It was as if she had finally found a goal in their ’meaningless’ life.

Qing Shu Lian had gotten used to be used by others. They just wanted his talent and ability, so they kept him alive and allowed him to stay in his family.

But they had never let him go.

It was nothing more than a life in a cage.

Some of them even tried to brainwash him, but his mental strength was simply too high to be brainwashed. In fact, most of the powerful and talented people had high mental strength and unless they were brainwashed when they were young and hadn’t developed, there was no chance to do so when they grew up.

"If you want something to change, you need to do something." Nan Hua glanced at Qing Shu Lian while noticing that the instructors had come out. "Let’s go, they’re going to sweep this place."

"I..." Qing Shu Lian watched Nan Hua who walked away and knew very well that he was not a match for this young woman.

She was clearly around the same age as him, but she was very calm in dealing with everything. Her expression and appearance was nothing more than an act in order to blend into this world better.

He felt strange emotions in his heart.

In the end, Qing Shu Lian said in a low voice, "If you need something, you can come to me to ask. But I won’t be able to do anything complicated."

Nan Hua nodded. "I know."

After that, the two of them fell into silence and went their separate ways once more.
