On this quiet night, the scenery of the Academy of Esoterics is like a tranquil painting, with moonlight sprinkling over the buildings, making them particularly charming. Sitting on a bench, Lin Mengmeng is alone, with a graceful posture like a night elf, but her mood sharply contrasts with the surrounding tranquility.
She gently caresses a book in her hand, but her gaze drifts towards the distance from time to time, as if seeking some kind of comfort. The book is both a source of knowledge and a sanctuary for her soul. However, as the focus of tonight shifts to the mission she and her companions are about to face - to counter Zhou Xiongwu's plan, even the book cannot provide her with the peace she desires.
Lin Mengmeng's heart is filled with complex emotions, worry, fear, and self-doubt intertwined. Although her Esoteric has unparalleled power in healing the wounded, she can't help but ask herself in the face of the upcoming confrontation, "Can my Esoteric really help everyone? Will I be a burden to them?" Her fingers unconsciously flip through the pages of a book, a small movement she makes when anxious.
Everything around her seems to remind her of the impending danger. Although the moonlight is beautiful, it also makes the night seem deeper, as if there is an insurmountable mist covering the unknown. The fear in her heart is like a mist quietly spreading in the night, gradually eroding her courage.
Lin Mengmeng withdrew her wandering gaze, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her heart. No matter how much unease and worry she felt, the situation would not change. Only by facing the fear in her heart could she find the courage to overcome it. But at this moment, she felt incredibly lonely, as if she was facing invisible pressure in a forgotten corner of the world all by herself.
The night wind blew again, gently brushing her cheeks as if comforting her. Lin Mengmeng closed her eyes, letting her thoughts drift far away with the wind, trying to find a bit of peace that belonged to her. In this moment of tranquility, she felt a little relaxed. Even though the road ahead was full of thorns, she must bravely face it.
However, this comfort was only temporary. Lin Mengmeng opened her eyes, and the layer of mist seemed to thicken even more.
After a night of hard training, sweat slid down Jiang Hanting's determined face. As he stepped out of the training room, the corner of his eye caught sight of Lin Mengmeng's lonely figure, causing him to gently furrow his brow in helplessness. He walked towards Lin Mengmeng and sat quietly beside her. There was a distance between them on the bench, but it faintly connected their respective thoughts.
Jiang Hanting After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low and calm voice, "Are you ready for tomorrow's operation?"
Lin Mengmeng His sudden question startled her, and she replied with a slight tremble, "I... I'm not sure. My mind is in turmoil."
Jiang Hanting turned his head and gazed at her with his cold yet sharp eyes, "Chaos is normal. But remember, fear will only keep you away from victory. Your Esoteric is crucial for us, you need to have confidence."
Lin Mengmeng lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible, "But what if I did something wrong, or..."
"That's just doing it wrong." Jiang Hanting interrupted her, his tone suddenly tinged with sarcasm. "Before you decide to be afraid of doing it wrong, at least do it first. Do you think sitting here worrying will solve the problem?"
Lin Mengmeng was startled by his poisonous tongue and direct manner, but it also helped her to regain her composure slightly. She looked up at Jiang Hanting, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions.
Jiang Hanting saw the situation and sighed softly, speaking in a slightly softer tone: "I know this is not easy for you. But you are not alone, we will all be by your side, supporting you."
His words were like a warm light, dispelling the gloom in Lin Mengmeng's heart. She nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Thank you, Senior Jiang. I will do my best."
Jiang Hanting looked at her, a hint of elusive light flashing in his eyes. He stood up, reached out his hand, and gently rearranged her wind-blown hair, a gesture that sharply contrasted with his usual cold attitude.
"Come, let's make a vow," Jiang Hanting suddenly said, taking Lin Mengmeng's hand and standing in the moonlight. His voice became unusually serious: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must protect the academy and each other, ensuring everyone's safety. This is our responsibility and our promise."
Lin Mengmeng was moved by his sudden gesture, and her eyes were filled with tears. She firmly responded, "Yes, we will definitely make it happen."
Under the witness of the moonlight, their vows shone like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating their deepest beliefs. Jiang Hanting and Lin Mengmeng sat side by side, and everything around them seemed immersed in an indescribable tranquility. The air was filled with a cold and fresh night breeze, and the moonlight gently covered them, as if silently supporting them.
Jiang Hanting His eyes revealed an unusual softness. His voice was calm and powerful, each word cutting through the silence of the night with clarity: "Let's go over the plan again. Remember, no matter what happens, stay calm. Your Esoteric is crucial."
Lin Mengmeng nodded gently, her fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, a small gesture she made when nervous. Her voice was weak, almost scattered by the night wind: "I... I will remember, Senior Jiang."
Jiang Hanting noticed Lin Mengmeng's tension and slightly turned his head, speaking in a tone that was almost stern yet carried a hint of concern: "Look at me, Lin Mengmeng. Your Esoteric can save lives. Your role in the plan is extremely important. Don't underestimate yourself."
Lin Mengmeng lifted her head, determination shining in her eyes as if finding comfort in Jiang Hanting's words. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, then nodded in understanding.
Jiang Hanting has started a detailed review plan, from the route to the target location, to the specific tasks of each person, and to the contingency plans. His speech is not fast, ensuring that Lin Mengmeng can keep up with his thoughts. Whenever he talks about a critical part, he pauses to confirm whether Lin Mengmeng fully understands.
"If we encounter unforeseen obstacles, you must first ensure your own safety. Then, use your healing ability according to the situation. Remember, you are not alone. We will all be there, supporting each other," Jiang Hanting said with a firm voice, as if conveying a belief to Lin Mengmeng.
Lin Mengmeng listened, and the fear in her heart was gradually replaced by this belief. At this moment, she was no longer alone, she had a strong backing.
As the review ended, Jiang Hanting gently patted Lin Mengmeng's shoulder, a rare display of encouragement and support from him. He said, "You did great, Mengmeng. I believe in you."
Lin Mengmeng gave a slight smile, a gentle and reserved smile, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Senior Jiang. I will do my best."
The two of them looked once again at the night sky under the moonlight, the brilliant stars seemed to be telling them that no matter what lies ahead, as long as they hold onto their beliefs, they can illuminate the path ahead. At this moment, Lin Mengmeng's heart was no longer filled with fear and worry, but with a sense of determination for the future.
When the night wind blew again, Lin Mengmeng's heart had calmed down a lot.
Jiang Hanting looked at Lin Mengmeng, who was immersed in complex emotions, sighed slightly, showed a rare gentle expression on his face, and then suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "At this time, the snack street in the college is still open. Are you hungry?"
Lin Mengmeng was somewhat taken aback by the sudden question. She raised her head slightly and saw the concern that was inadvertently revealed on Jiang Hanting's face. She hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "I...I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's go, I'll take you to eat something." Jiang Hanting stood up and gestured to her, his expression still calm, but his tone was somewhat more relaxed.
They walked together towards the snack street of the college. The campus streetlights at night were dim and warm, with a few students returning home hastily passing by occasionally. Each person was immersed in their own world, contrasting sharply with the tranquility of the night.
When they arrived at the snack street, the aroma of food wafted over, causing Lin Mengmeng to involuntarily swallow. Jiang Hanting glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Lin Mengmeng lightly bit her lip and said somewhat shyly, "Anything... I'm fine with anything."
Jiang Hanting nodded and then led her towards a bustling barbecue stall. They found a corner to sit down, and Jiang Hanting casually picked up the menu to browse.
"I'll order. Do you like spicy food?" His voice was deep, exuding unwavering confidence.
"I can't handle spicy food very well," Lin Mengmeng replied softly, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.
"Okay, then a little less spicy." Jiang Hanting nodded, and then ordered a lot of barbecue that Lin Mengmeng had never heard of from the waiter.
As the dishes were served one by one, Lin Mengmeng's eyes couldn't help but light up. Jiang Hanting picked up a chicken wing with chopsticks and put it on her plate, saying lightly, "Try this, it's not spicy."
Lin Mengmeng took the chicken wing and took a careful bite. The delicious taste made her eyes light up involuntarily. She looked up at Jiang Hanting and gave him a grateful smile: "It's very tasty."
Jiang Hanting looked at her, and his expression seemed to soften a bit, but quickly returned to his cold demeanor. He said in a low voice, "You need to eat well to have the strength to fight. Don't think too much, everything will be fine."
At the dining table, the two didn't exchange much, but every word deepened the trust between them unintentionally. Lin Mengmeng's tension gradually dissipated, replaced by a temporary peace and warmth.
As the meal ended, they walked out onto the snack street together. The night was still deep, but Lin Mengmeng's mood was completely different. Jiang Hanting's invitation not only showed his concern for her, but also conveyed that even in the face of daunting tasks, she was not alone.
On the way back to the dorm, Lin Mengmeng said softly, "Senior Jiang, thank you for the late-night snack."
Jiang Hanting glanced at her and a hint of a smile or sarcasm curved his lips. "Remember, don't forget your own strength because of momentary fear. Tomorrow, we will solve this problem together."
His words are concise and powerful, yet full of profound meaning. Lin Mengmeng takes a deep breath, and it seems that her fear has been resolved by the experience of this night. She nods firmly, filled with courage.
