Ark, they don't revolve around you

She closed her eyes and said coldly, "Give up, you are not qualified."

"qualifications?"

Chen Huijie was so angry that she laughed.

How could she not be qualified? At that time, she thought it didn’t matter if she left, but what did you do?

What qualifications do you have to say that?

"Just because I don't have it doesn't mean you do." Mostima's eyes were cold. "Officer Chen... Well, I should call you Mr. Chen, right?"

"What do you want to say?"

"A year ago." Mostima said expressionlessly, "I met the Doctor when I returned to Longmen."

"I knocked on the door and passed by Longmen, and I took a letter from Wei Yanwu. That letter was written by you. I gave it to the doctor. You should know the content of the letter."

letter……

The memory is like an electric shock.

Chen Huijie's lips trembled, and the confidence he had just had suddenly disappeared.

"Do you remember what it was?" Mastema asked again, as if questioning.

"Doso...Reis." Chen Huijie said tremblingly.

"Yes." Mastema smiled, her smile as beautiful as a flower. "Why did you reject him?"

"I..." Chen Huijie was speechless.

That summer, the doctor invited her to meet and see where he was.

For example, Dosores.

But Chen Huijie refused. Even though Wei Yanwu and Aunt Wen Yue both wanted her to go, she still refused.

Chen Huijie swallowed and tried to explain.

At this time, Mostima took out the letter - she had been carrying it with her all along.

"You think it's better for the two of you not to meet, even though he almost begged you..."

"Your reason is that Longmen is busy, but I don't think that's right."

Mostima opened the letter and said in an extremely cold voice, "You were clearly free at the time, Inspector Chen."

"I don't care how much you thought about it, you still rejected him!"

"You don't actually care about him as much as you think, right?"

Chen Huijie felt a pain in his chest, as if there was a sword in his chest.

Chapter 10 You Are Indeed Not Qualified

Mastema was deeply impressed by that incident.

A year ago, after Mostima returned to Longmen to reminisce about the past, he planned to go to the island to meet the Doctor and brought a letter from Chen Huijie with him.

Zhuang Ning was quite excited when he first took it, which made Mostima feel sad.

But soon, Mostima saw Zhuang Ning's expression change.

From a slight excitement and joy to the smile fading from his face, he looked at the letter for a long time and finally pursed his lips with some bitterness.

"Sure enough."

He raised his head and invited Mastema: "Come with me to have a look, anywhere is fine."

He was making a request, but Mostima didn't understand what he meant at the time and just thought he was tired.

"Doctor, you can go with others. There are so many operators who trust you."

There is a hint of jealousy in these words, but of course, they are also sincere.

She saw Zhuang Ning's last expression disappear and his face became stiff.

"Okay, if there is..."

Zhuang Ning stood up, passed by Mostima, and murmured in a low voice, "If there is anything..."

That was already a sign that Zhuang Ning was not in good condition.

He casually threw the letter into the shredder without noticing that the shredder was not started.

Mostima struggled for a while. As a professional and ethical courier, she would not do such an unethical thing as peeping at other people's letters.

But perhaps the girl was touched by the doctor's reaction. After some hesitation, she reached out and took out the letter to read it.

At first glance, the letter seemed ordinary, such as asking about the doctor's health and whether Rhodes Island was okay. Mostima Yan's Chinese was acceptable, which was why she was able to serve as the messenger of all nations.

Soon, she found the key point in the letter.

"Longmen rarely has free time. Doctor, if you want to take a vacation, why not go with others? I think there will always be an operator who will agree."

Why does this statement sound so familiar?

Isn't this what I said to the doctor?

No wonder he had that reaction... Mostima was shocked at that time, but didn't care too much.

But now it seems that is not right.

Mostima didn't know about other people, but would Chen Huijie be busy?

Things in Longmen are definitely not that busy, and it’s not like the Integration Movement is invading again. It was Chen Huijie who refused, and she had to add the excuse of being busy!

Mostima had no feelings for the Dragon Gate inspector, but now seeing her speaking righteously, he sneered, "You don't care about him that much."

Chen Huijie's face turned even paler.

She also recalled that the doctor had sent her a letter a year ago, asking if she could come along, but Chen Huijie refused.

reason?

There are many reasons, but being busy is definitely not the reason.

On the one hand, it is his position as Longmen's successor.

At that time, Rhodes Island was caught in the Kazdel crisis. Although it was largely resolved, all parties were still passing the buck. Chen Huijie was no longer an inspector. Her identity as the successor of Longmen was semi-publicized and known to everyone in the upper echelons. At least before she took office, she really shouldn't have too much contact with the then-focused figure, the Doctor.

The future is unpredictable. Who knows whether Rhodes Island will collapse overnight?

On the other hand, she hesitated.

She wondered if she should really deepen her relationship with the Doctor.

If they went to Dosores, there was no doubt that both she and the Doctor would be very happy.

and then?

I am the successor of Longmen, and I have the shackles of responsibility. If I go, will I be soft-hearted and stay in Rhodes Island? !

This is very irresponsible, and this is not how Chen Huijie should think!

Anyway, the doctor has enough people around him, so give him and me some time to calm down.

When she really takes over Longmen and has her own bottom line, I can -

"What can you do?"

It seemed as if I heard a sneer.

I thought it was W, but she said nothing and just looked at me coldly. It wasn't Mostima or Kal'tsit either.

Time seemed to stand still, but the sneers became more and more piercing.

"Even if you inherit Longmen, you can do whatever you want?"

"That's not right, Officer Chen, Miss Chen... or should I say, Mr. Chen?"

——That was her mockery of herself.

Chen Huijie has always been feeling irritated, but she doesn't know the reason... No, she knows that she is just covering her true feelings with a layer of cloth!

——But Mastema tore it off mercilessly!

"You don't care as much as you think, Doctor."

This is the truth, Mastema watched coldly.

Chen Huijie suddenly felt powerless and realized that the bunch of seemingly well-reasoned rebuttals just now did not touch on the most core issue.

——She didn't think for the Doctor.

Due to the influence of Originium, the inter-city network is not interoperable, and the only way to communicate across cities is through messengers.

Time passed very slowly and spanned a long period of time. In addition, she procrastinated for a long time at that time, so it was probably a month later that the letter was delivered to Zhuang Ning.

What was Zhuang Ning's mood when he handed the letter to the girl?

He waited for a month. During this month, perhaps whenever he got tired of dealing with things, he would go to the mailbox and ask the messenger whether he had replied to him.

Then a month later, the letter finally arrived, but the answer was a cold rejection, and even the reason was so glaring!

He should probably have just sighed and laughed it off.

But the depression settled down and clung to him, unable to escape.

"You really haven't thought about him?!"

"You only think about yourself. You think this is not good for both you and him, but it's just an excuse!"

The self in my heart became more and more rampant, "Chen Huijie, how dare you take him away?"

"You were the one who rejected him then. Now, you feel that you are powerful...you want to take him away without even asking him what he thinks."

"How selfish—"

"When did you become so self-righteous? Why do you think you weren't the cause of his current situation?!"

Chen Huijie's lips trembled and cold sweat broke out, soaking his clothes.

She saw Mastema's expression again, and also saw W's mockery - she seemed to read contempt.

Chen Huijie lowered his head and his breathing became rapid.
