Chapter 92: I’ve Changed, But Please Don’t Blame Me, Commander
“???!”
Leia’s voice sounded from behind the few people who were dragging along.
Then, several incredulous gazes turned toward Chen Yuan.
“Not a bro?!”
Interrupting the spell and it still works?!
Tell me! Where are you hiding your hypnosis?!
Under the respectful orders of Teacher Leia, the few naturally let go of Chen Yuan.
However, they surrounded Chen Yuan to start questioning him.
Li Hua tugged on Chen Yuan’s clothes, widening his eyes and asking, “Didn’t you say it was your first day here?!”
“It is my first day, but… I already know Leia…” Chen Yuan turned his gaze away, awkwardly scratching his face with his fingers.
“d*mn it…”
Luo Zichuan: “Don’t tell me she’s your sister too?!”
“Of course not!”
The group breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought of something: “So what’s your relationship? You didn’t live together, right?!”
“No, we didn’t. Don’t worry.”
They sighed again.
“She lives next door.”
“d*mn it!”
“I’m going to k*ll this b*stard today, don’t stop me!”
“Teacher Turtle can really do it! d*mn scumbag! We used to help you so much!”
“Pah!”
Huang Zhisheng: “I’ll never forgive you!”
“Seriously… is it necessary… What did I say…” Chen Yuan looked at them as if they had made a certain resolution and were leaving, his face twitching: “…”
……
“Let’s go, Chen Yuan.”
Leia came next to Chen Yuan and spoke to him.
“Okay, let’s go pick up Cu and the others first.” Chen Yuan replied, his gaze toward Leia becoming complex.
He had just solved the issue with Yu, and now he needed to deal with Leia…
……
After leaving the teaching building and walking along the tree-lined path on campus, the setting sun in the sky cast a golden hue over the entire playground.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Yuan turned to Leia.
He noticed that while walking, Leia’s eyes didn’t wander curiously like Yu and Cu’s, but steadily looked ahead, unwavering.
She had changed so much, and he realized that since she came to this world, he had lacked understanding of her.
He had merely taken her as she was before he left.
In such a cruel world, her transformations should be the most drastic, yet he had never actively sought to understand…
Her current thoughts…
“Leia…”
“Hmm? I’m here, Commander.” Leia still replied to Chen Yuan in the same tone they had when fighting side by side, even though Chen Yuan was right beside her now.
“Since coming to this world, I’ve always concerned myself too little about you, just thought that compared to the other two, you already had a stable and good job, and you seemed someone who would make things easy for me…” Chen Yuan reflected.
“I have yet to ask you how it feels to come to this world… Are you happy?” Chen Yuan said softly.
Since their first meeting, he really hadn’t seen her smile sincerely…
Clearly, during their first meeting, she had a face full of laughter and tears, that was the real Leia…
Now, Leia’s demeanor was cold, and her personality was aloof… as if she were a robot, flawless and without emotional fluctuations…
“……” Leia’s eyes skimmed to Chen Yuan, from which he could see her fleeting surprise.
But immediately, she responded with a bright laugh: “Of course I’m happy.”
“You’re alive, Commander. I’m happier than anyone else…”
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Yuan, firm and with a faint smile.
“After I left, how… have you been?” Chen Yuan looked into her eyes, feeling a ripple in his heart; for the first time, he asked her about such a difficult topic.
Even with Cu, he lacked the courage to ask how she had been after he left.
Because it was useless, of course, it had to be bad…
And he was the initiator…
However, faced with Leia, he found it necessary to ask.
In Cu’s world, she was a queen, so she wouldn’t have any issues, and he had paved the way for her.
In Yu’s world, even though he had left, she was already free; with her abilities, she was completely safe.
But Leia, in her world, the rules made her a weapon for a day, a weapon for life…
Even if he had left, she would always be a weapon, fighting on the front lines with the so-called hope of humanity…
The title of human heroes who conquered storms was a curse named hope…
Forever imprisoned over her head…
“Commander, in the end, we successfully defeated the storm.” Leia paused, turned her gaze away, and walked in front of Chen Yuan, leaving him with a view of her back.
She began to recount…
“This is a very good thing, right?”
“Mm.”
“I took revenge for you; I personally killed two sandstorms and three tsunamis… it’s the most powerful… weapon in human history!” Leia’s voice carried a sense of desolation…
“But… after the war ceased, what are we weapons supposed to do?”
“As weapons, we only know how to operate mechs… We only talk theory, only discuss tactics…”
“We don’t have the ability to live.”
Chen Yuan: “But you’re not…”
“I can, I can take care of myself; that’s because I had you, Commander… once upon a time…”
“You taught me about emotions, birthdays, friends… but they don’t have that.”
“You all left, you too; I’m the only one left…”
“I’m just an outlier.”
Not quite human, not quite a weapon…
Chen Yuan looked at her back with increasing heartache: “Leia…”
“Commander, do you think I’ve changed?” She said this and suddenly sensed something, turning back to look at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan furrowed his brows tightly, not answering, only continuing to listen quietly as she vented.
“Commander, actually, I resent you for bringing me into the light and then harshly abandoning me…” She turned and walked two steps before continuing.
“So, I cut my hair…”
“Reintegrated into them…”
