Nian rested his back and closed his eyes - resting them too, it was the first time he would sit today after all.
“ with a mask on, he must be very handsome then” one said behind him.
“ he is the second seeded disciple with a mask on” another answered
“ then that means he is very handsome, even more than me; I'm jealous”
“ no, I don't believe his beauty rivals sister yun Ning's own, I believe his mask is just another facadé to make people think he is handsome, moreover this lowly weak brat is not even worthy of being compared to sister Ning'er”. this one said more blankly, Nian could hear the faint meanness in his voice.
This one was good with words, Nian could guess why his words were rather mean, they were not just mean; there were strands of flattery towards the 'sister Ning' of a person, if she was wearing a mask too; it meant she was extremely beautiful too,
then it made sense, he was trying to play nice with her, if she fell for the flattery then she had fallen for him too.
It seemed to be sensible but not enough, if she was so beautiful she wouldn't fall for such cheap flattery, if she do then she is dumb. Nian looked over at her, she looked so angry, Nian's guess was right, she didn't fall for it she was angry at it instead.
This boy was good with words but his logic and common sense didn't meet up, he had thought she was angry at the fact that he was indeed compared to her, Nian looked back at him and saw the malicious smile at the corner of his lips, he was a bit stupid - or perhaps he was not, Nian needed to be sure, he needed to consider the odds too.
He looked back at her face searching beneath the anger in case there was anything like pride; but something unexpected happened, their eyes locked this time, affixed into each other, the whole world's time and space froze, beneath those cute and tender eyes were reds,
this meant she was blushing, Nian couldn't blame her, his heart was skipping too racing and beating fast against his chest.
Several moments passed before she shut her eyes, she opened them again and looked down, she looked naive.
Nian shook his head, winning the award of the best martial artist had brought many many girls and sluts which had never caught his attention in the least but strangely enough this case was different but he resolved to pretend like it never happened - except of course if she brought the matter up, he heard a grumble from behind, after all he had seen what he wanted to see; pure anger and no sign of pride.
“ HOW DARE YOU STEAL A GLANCE AT SISTER YUN NING LIKE THAT, I'LL PULL YOUR EYES OUT !” the boy shouted, more like a bark to be precise.
“ I didn't steal a glance and by the way, why is brother so agitated, its not like I stole a glance at your wife though and even if its so then I'm sorry, you can rest assured this fellow brother is not so used to girls” Nian answered, proving to him that he was good with words too. He could have sworn he heard her giggle from beneath that veil.
“it seems brother is used to girls then I'll give you an advice, your temper is a bit bad it's a thing you should work on, with a bad temper girls would be a bit scarce around but with a reduced temper it would be otherwise” Nian said looking away
“ junior brother said he wasn't used to girls earlier then how come he knows this?”
“ of course I am not used to girls but this is common sense,I have read and heard that a lady's heart is tender then if a lady's heart is really so tender then it wouldn't be able to withstand a very strong force, anger is of such, this is why if a lady is angry herself then she could cry, a guy is different, he is a hardernd heart instead, you might wonder that if it is so opposite then why do they not separate from each other but come nearer instead, this is because the boy's hardernd mind is not to lash out against the girl's but to protect it instead, the softness needs the hardness to protect it. Just like nature soft takes cover under the hard, this is also the essence of unity, this is how the world is meant to be, the strong should protect the weak and not devour it, then you would ask that if things are done this way then would the weak not become a liability, laze around and just find some thick wings to hide under, there are indeed possibilities of such but every problem has a solution, by letting the weak know he is weak and letting him know the consequences of being weak then providing a strong individual to look up to the weak will surely become strong, in any case being the strong; it is meant to protect the weak at least until it becomes strong itself, this is also the essence of love and love is the essence of the world, a theorithical phenomenon, you may say that I say say this perhaps because I'm weak but I fear not for myself but for that person who would want to check out my abilities, I've spoken so much already it's normal for me to become tire out now” Nian said, the whole hall had fallen quite long ago, perhaps almost when he just started talking, listening at every word he said.
As Nian finished his talk and closed his eyes, he heard the whole hall began to mumble again, reflecting at words.
Nian guessed that the boy must have been so angry with his head so red and hot that he would be on the verge of exploding; he had stolen the lime light that belonged to him, that girl would giggle very much while that senior brother would say in his mind that 'this kid is very interesting, very much interesting'.
Nian could do nothing but smile to himself.
