Esoteric The exhibition day is approaching, and the atmosphere within the Academy of Esoterics is tense yet lively. Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting are both dedicated to planning the defense project, working tirelessly every day for the safety of the academy. However, during this process, Lin Mengmeng begins to notice a change in Jiang Hanting's attitude towards her, shifting from strict demands to more care and protection.
One evening, they are once again discussing the plan in the library. Lin Mengmeng is focused on examining the documents in front of her, while Jiang Hanting stands quietly beside her, occasionally casting glances in her direction.
"How have you been resting lately?" Jiang Hanting suddenly asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.
Lin Mengmeng felt a little flustered by his question. She gently bit her lip and replied, "I'm... I'm okay. A bit busy, but I can manage."
Jiang Hanting slightly frowned, seeming unsatisfied with her response: "You need to pay attention to resting, don't push yourself too hard. At any time, health comes first."
Lin Mengmeng looked up at him, feeling a surge of complex emotions. She knew Jiang Hanting had always been a calm and rational person, but hearing such caring words from him at this moment made her feel both warm and puzzled.
"I... thank you, Senior Jiang. I will be careful," Lin Mengmeng said softly, with a grateful look in her eyes.
Jiang Hanting nodded and then changed the subject: "Regarding the defense plan, we need to confirm the specific positions and times for each team. Only then can we ensure the seamless execution of the plan."
As they delved deeper into the discussion, Lin Mengmeng's attention gradually focused on the plan. However, Jiang Hanting's occasional concern still stirred up waves in her heart. She began to reflect on the changes in their interaction during this time, and couldn't help but feel doubtful about the development of this relationship. She was unsure how to respond to Jiang Hanting's gradually emerging care.
After the evening meeting, Lin Mengmeng walked back to the dormitory alone, filled with thoughts. Jiang Hanting's changes left her both moved and perplexed, and she didn't know what to do.
The next day, the morning light gently sprinkled onto the training ground, where a group of students were nervously and attentively engaged in live combat drills. Lin Mengmeng was dressed in training attire, standing among Jiang Hanting and other team members. Although there was a hint of tension on her face, her eyes sparkled with focused determination.
As the drills began, Lin Mengmeng unexpectedly performed exceptionally well. Utilizing her own healing ability, she not only swiftly healed her teammates during battle, but also cleverly utilized the environment and Esoteric for counterattacks. Her movements were agile, and each evasion and attack was calculated perfectly, earning admiration for her agile application of Esoteric and combat skills.
However, the good times didn't last long. During a simulated attack and defense exercise, Lin Mengmeng tried to dodge an oncoming energy ball, but due to the slippery ground, she slipped and fell heavily, cutting a long wound on her knee. The pain quickly spread, causing her to furrow her brow as she struggled to sit up and frantically tried to use her Esoteric to heal herself.
Jiang Hanting noticed the abnormality and immediately stopped what he was doing, walking over to Lin Mengmeng. His brow furrowed, and his deep voice carried a subtle concern: "How are you? Is the injury serious?"
Lin Mengmeng felt a bit embarrassed and also in pain as she answered softly, "I... I'm fine, just a minor injury." She tried to touch the wound with trembling hands, but the pain made her involuntarily gasp.
Enduring the pain, she used her Esoteric healing technique on the wound, while quietly emphasizing, "It's okay, you'll see, it will get better soon."
Jiang Hanting After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "I... I've had some changes in my attitude towards you recently. I don't know if you've noticed."
Lin Mengmeng She looked up, with a surprised look in her eyes, then lowered her head and said softly, "Yes... a little."
Jiang Hanting took a deep breath and spoke with unusual seriousness: "I don't know how to say this, but I find myself caring more and more about you. Not just because of your Esoteric, but more... because of you as a person."
Lin Mengmeng's heart raced. She hadn't expected to hear Jiang Hanting's confession at this moment. She felt both surprised and uneasy, unsure of how to respond.
"Senior Jiang, I... I don't know what to say," Lin Mengmeng's voice trembled, her inner struggle evident.
Jiang Hanting seemed to realize the impact of his straightforwardness on her. He smiled slightly, trying to ease the tension: "You don't have to answer me right away. I just want you to know how I feel. Anyway, we are still good partners, and the mission always comes first."
Lin Mengmeng looked up and saw Jiang Hanting's cold and stern face unexpectedly showing a gentle smile, filling her heart with complex emotions. Regardless of how the future may unfold, at this moment, Jiang Hanting has already left a deep impression in her heart.
Night fell once again, and the Academy of Esoterics returned to tranquility. But for Lin Mengmeng, this night was destined to be extraordinary. Her feelings for Jiang Hanting and their future relationship became even more complex and unpredictable. However, no matter what, Lin Mengmeng must face it, because it is a part of her growth and a precious memory she shares with Jiang Hanting.
The night was deep, and Lin Mengmeng lightly walked the path back to the dormitory. Her thoughts were like the stars in the night sky, dense and flickering. Jiang Hanting's confession was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples, leaving her emotions unsettled for a long time.
The next day, in the garden of the college, Lin Mengmeng sat alone in a quiet corner, holding a book in her hand. The pages of the book gently fluttered in the breeze, but her attention seemed not entirely focused on the words. Her gaze occasionally drifted to the distance, where Jiang Hanting's figure was attracting her eyes.
Jiang Hanting is discussing the final preparations for the Esoteric exhibition with several students. His posture is particularly upright, resembling a sculpture, both stern and eye-catching. His tall figure fits perfectly in the academy uniform, making him even more remarkable. Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled warmth onto his dark hair.
Lin Mengmeng hides in the shadowy corner, secretly observing Jiang Hanting. In her eyes, Jiang Hanting not only has outstanding looks but also exudes an indescribable charm. His calm and confident aura irresistibly draws people in. However, she also understands that Jiang Hanting's personality, like his appearance, carries an unapproachable aloofness.
At that moment, Jiang Hanting seemed to sense Lin Mengmeng's gaze. He suddenly turned his head and scanned the direction where Lin Mengmeng was hiding. Lin Mengmeng was startled and quickly lowered her head, pretending to focus on her book, her heart beating faster.
Jiang Hanting walked over and stood in front of Lin Mengmeng. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a cold yet polite tone, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be preparing for the exhibition day?"
Lin Mengmeng lifted her head and saw Jiang Hanting's cold and handsome face. She nervously stuttered, "I-I just wanted to find a quiet place to read and relax a bit."
Jiang Hanting's gaze lingered on Lin Mengmeng's face for a moment before saying calmly, "Relaxing is fine, but don't forget our mission. Every minute and every second is crucial."
His tone was still cold, but Lin Mengmeng could hear a hint of concern in it. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Senior Jiang. I will."
Jiang Hanting noticed Lin Mengmeng's subtle movement and a faint, inscrutable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He casually asked, "So, what book are you reading?"
Lin Mengmeng was startled by the sudden question. She carefully looked up and found Jiang Hanting looking curiously at the book in her hand. "I-it's a book about Esoteric theory," she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, afraid that her answer might disturb him.
Jiang Hanting nodded, seemingly approving of Lin Mengmeng's choice. "This book is good. It's very helpful for improving control and understanding of Esoteric. Are you interested in this area?"
Lin Mengmeng nodded, her eyes showing excitement because she rarely had the opportunity to discuss her interests with others. "Yes, I've always wanted to better grasp my Esoteric."
Jiang Hanting looked at her, his tone becoming gentle. "You're doing great, continuous learning is the best way to improve oneself. If you need help, you can come to me."
Lin Mengmeng felt somewhat surprised. Jiang Hanting usually gave off a cold and serious impression, but now he seemed so amiable. "Thank you, Senior Jiang. I will," she said. Her voice was still cautious, but her eyes sparkled with gratitude.
Suddenly, Jiang Hanting leaned in closer to Lin Mengmeng with a half-smiling expression. He sat down beside her and casually said, "By the way, was today's book really that captivating? You seemed so lost in thought."
Lin Mengmeng was suddenly approached by him, which made her heart beat faster. She was slightly startled, and then answered somewhat hesitantly, "Ah, no, I was just... thinking about things."
"Thinking about things? About yesterday's matter?" Jiang Hanting deliberately prolonged his tone, with a hint of playful teasing in his eyes.
Lin Mengmeng's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head, trying to conceal her embarrassment: "N-no... not entirely."
Jiang Hanting reached out and gently flipped the book in her hand. His movement was so close that Lin Mengmeng could feel his faint, fresh breath, making her heart beat like a drum. He casually flipped through a few pages, then shook his head helplessly: "Are you reading or daydreaming? The book is upside down."
Lin Mengmeng only just realized her negligence, her face blushing even more. She hurriedly turned the book around, feeling both at a loss and flustered by Jiang Hanting's direct gaze.
"Senior Jiang, you... you're always like this," Lin Mengmeng murmured softly, but her eyes revealed a hint of undisguised joy.
Jiang Hanting looked at her, his eyes suddenly softened, and his tone was no longer as cold as usual: " Mengmeng, I know this may be sudden for you, but I'm serious. I hope to understand you better and spend the coming time with you."
These words stirred up even greater waves in Lin Mengmeng's heart. She looked up, her gaze meeting Jiang Hanting's, filled with complex emotions. She wanted to say something, but found herself at a loss for words.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, gently brushing the faces of the two people, dispelling the moment of awkwardness. Lin Mengmeng took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage, with a hint of excitement in her voice: "Senior Jiang, thank you. I... I also hope to grow together with you and share all the moments on campus."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Hanting's mouth, a tenderness that Lin Mengmeng had never seen before. He reached out and gently touched Lin Mengmeng's head. In that moment, two hearts quietly drew close, as if the distance between them had disappeared.
The setting sun cast a golden glow over the garden of the academy, elongating the shadows of the two figures. Yet their hearts were so close to each other.
