Chapter 310: Afternoon Tea
Although Hua Lian did not reveal any news to the outside world, the temple seemed to have felt Hugo's awakening, and Hua Lian's door was knocked on that afternoon.
Hua Lian smiled lightly, then turned to Hugo and said, "Your old friend has come to visit you." β
Hugo said: "I think his more important mission than visiting him is to lead the way. β
Hua Lian shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe, after all, Gao Yang is still recuperating now." He's the best guide. β
Since leading the way must have a destination, Hugo does not know where this destination is, but he knows who is waiting for him in the destination.
"Then I'll avoid it, so as not to delay the reminiscence between your old friends. By the way, I also took this opportunity to get a good night's sleep. β
Hugo understands that Hua Lian's avoidance at this time is to give himself room to play better, after all, Hua Lian's identity will always hinder the development of things.
When Hua Lian entered the bedroom, the outer door opened, and Asura waited for a moment before entering the room.
When Asura saw that Hugo was the only one in the outer hall of the rest, he was stunned, but Hugo smiled and said to him, "Good afternoon." β
Asura nodded stiffly, and then also said good afternoon.
Hugo stretched out his hand and motioned for Asura to sit down, and Asura immediately sat there dumbly, but the outsiders of Hugo's Sanctuary now seemed to be a master.
Two ill-fated teenagers sat facing each other and did not communicate for a long time.
As former competitors, comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, and now this complex position of both friend and foe, countless things only make the two sigh.
When Asura's gaze swept over Hugo's deflated sleeve, Hugo chuckled and said, "This arm was fine the last time you saw me." β
Asura withdrew his gaze, then said with a faint smile, "That was a long time ago. β
Hugo nodded and said, "Yes, time passes in a blink of an eye. At the beginning, I heard people say that time passes like a white horse, and I didn't have much experience, but now I have this feeling. Asura nodded when he heard this.
If the conversation between the two is heard by outsiders, it will inevitably feel so small, and the young people who have just passed the two grades together are so old-fashioned when they talk, but countless heavy things are pressing on these two teenagers, and it is indeed impossible to laugh out loud.
"Is Charlie alright?" asked Hugo suddenly.
In addition to the two of them in the entire group A class that year, Ruohan and Charlie were the best, and among these people, only Charlie and Hugo were the best, so it can be said that Charlie was the first normal friend of his age.
Asura thought for a moment and said, "He was obviously lost for a long time after you left, but all life and learning are also normal. And after that... I left Tianying. His whereabouts are unknown now. β
Hugo nodded, it is indeed unknown whether Charlie can escape from the destruction of Tianying, and from Hugo's personal point of view, he naturally hopes that he can survive.
Thinking about the entire A class, Hugo, Asura, and even the head teacher Zhuang Ze have all left Tianying and stood on the opposite side, while Ruohan has become Tianying's craziest fighter.
This class, which was formed and ended less than a semester, had such a great impact on Tianying, if Tianying revised the history of the school a few years later, then Hugo's class A would definitely leave a strong mark on it.
Asura hesitated for a moment and said, "I see that you are recovering well. β
Hugo smiled: "It's okay, although it's still a little weak, but it's enough to talk to your knight chief for a while." β
Asura's face turned slightly red when Hugo directly said the purpose, and then he smiled: "At this time, I still envy you, you must know that I haven't had afternoon tea with the knight commander." β
Hugo twisted his neck and said, "It's indeed an honor to have a cup of afternoon tea with a real knight, but the ticket price for this afternoon ticket is really expensive." β
Although Asura did not know the cause and effect of the incident between Hugo and the Holy Church, judging from the situation that night, Asura also understood that Hugo was firmly used as a gun by the Holy Church, and it was normal for Hugo to be so mean.
Of course, Hugo also understood that he had no reason to be angry with Asura, and the real blame should not be accepted by him.
Hugo stood up, and then said to Asura: "Then I'll trouble you, I really hope you brought me to the same room that Gao Yang brought to before." β
...
In fact, the place where Asura took Hugo was indeed different from the place where Gao Yang took it.
It takes Hugo to the rooftop of a building, where there is a large glass house that is visible as an elaborate sunny tea room.
When Asura reached the door, he also stopped and motioned for Hugo to enter alone.
Hugo smiled and said to Asura, "We'll talk again when we have a chance." β
To this, Asura also smiled and nodded in response.
However, both of them knew in their hearts that the rest of the conversation was uncertain.
The furnishings in the Sunshine Tea Room are simple and contemporary, with a wool-glass floor that evenly absorbs the light from the ceiling, and the temperature in the room is pleasant, without any sense of heat.
In the center of the tea room, there is a tea couch, and Li Du sits on top of the tea floor.
Hugo walked to the tea couch and looked at Li Du quietly, Li Du also looked sideways at Hugo, and after a while Li Du spoke: "Can you look carefully?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "Now I don't even see the difference between you and the nameless. β
Li Du nodded and said, "This is your best compliment to Nameless." β
Hugo never sat down, but kept looking down at Li Du, Li Du didn't seem to care about this, but he didn't look up at Hugo, but looked at the tea set in front of him and said, "Do you like Spanish black tea?"
Hugo said: "I thought you would invite me to drink too." β
Li Du said: "After all, your injury is just not long, so it can be regarded as black tea." And I think you should be treated to tea. β
Hugo looked at Li Du, and then he sat down.
Li Du slowly poured a cup of tea for Hugo and said, "Taste?"
Hugo took a sip of the teacup, only to feel the strange fragrance of a fruit pair filling his mouth, which was also mixed with the lightness of silky flowers.
Hugo nodded, and Li Du smiled when he saw this: "It's good if you like it." At that moment, he also began to sip lightly in his cup.
Soon, the two drank the first round of tea, and the second round of tea was poured by Hugo.
Li Du took another sip of tea and said to Hugo: "Speaking of which, it is the first time that Hua Lian has lost her temper with me like that. β
Hugo didn't know what was happening at that time, he was already in a coma at that time, but from Hua Lian's attitude before, it could be seen that she was indeed very angry with Li Du.
Hugo said: "I asked him a question when I faced Nameless before, that is, if everything was repeated, he would kill me. Nameless gave me a negative answer at the time, and now it seems foolish to believe him. β
Li Du first used Hua Lian to suppress Hugo, and Hugo directly told Li Du about using a nameless stand-in that his trick would no longer work with him.
Li Du said: "You think Nameless is lying?"
Hugo said, "Didn't he?"
Li Du nodded and said, "That's not how things look like this. He has deceived you on some things, but he has not lied on some things. β
"Do you know why you can't tell the difference between Nameless and me? Because we're similar enough, we've all done a lot to do it. β
"We're different physically, we're in ability, but in some things you can see us as one. β
Li Du's words have two meanings, first of all, he shows Hugo that he is not hostile to Hugo, and the other is to tell Hugo that the matter of Nameless will stop here.
Although Hugo hated the nameless behavior, he understood that it was all planned by Li Du, and at this point he was still able to distinguish who was the initiator. But on the other hand, Hugo still needs to be further determined.
"Before I leave, I want to see Nameless one more time. β
Hugo's request made Li Du stunned, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and then nodded and said, "No problem." β
The matter of Nameless has come to an end, and then it is the real confrontation between Hugo and Li Du.
Hugo set his eyes on the exquisite European teapot in front of him, and then said, "This teapot is beautiful." β
Li Du said: "I like it, I send you." β
Hugo smiled: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others." β
Li Du said: "It's just something outside the body." β
Hugo said: "Forget it, even if I have this teapot, I don't have such a good tea bed, and if I have a tea bed, I won't have such a good tea room." β
Hugo didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was obvious.
With such a good tea room, there would not be such a good environment, and this environment is the sanctuary.
Li Du gently rubbed his fingers on the delicate glaze of the teapot, and said to Hugo while stroking: "In this case, I will give you a few bags of good tea, no matter what the container is, what people want is the taste of tea." Otherwise, how can an empty pot give people the happiest enjoyment. β
Hugo smiled and said, "This is a good proposal, then I will be disrespectful." β
"You're welcome. β
In this way, the old and the young completed the first confrontation in the turbulence, all of them tested each other, but they both had a certain degree of understanding of each other.
After Hexu's temptation, the two also began to fight more directly, and this confrontation was initiated by Li Du.
"If you weren't a blasphemous, I'd give you more than just a few bags of tea, and I might give the whole church away. β
This sentence is straightforward enough to make people wake up and tremble.
But Hugo only smiled softly at this, and his heart was unmoved. He is not a hot and naΓ―ve simple teenager, and he doesn't care about empty promises like Li Du. No matter how big Li Du said about the sky, everything is on the premise of ifs.
With ifs, everything behind is worthless. Not to mention the Templar, even the universe is not worth mentioning.
"If I wasn't a blasphemer, would I still be able to taste the Knight's wine and tea?"
Li Du said indifferently: "Not all blasphemers can drink my wine and tea. β
Hugo smiled: "Yes, too." β
For Hugo, a shrewd teenager, Li Du finally tore off the last veil of warmth, and said directly: "You have made a lot of noise recently. β
Hugo noticed that Li Du used the word "not small", which was a very subtle description, but Hugo knew that the word indicated that the matter was still within the control of the Templar.
So since Li Du has shown that things are controllable, what will he say after that?
Li Du continued: "Over the years, Tsukishima has not been peaceful, and a lot of big and small things have happened. But in previous years, everything was not as much as it was in a few years. β
Hugo said: "Isn't it important what happened ten years ago?"
Li Du looked at Hugo and chuckled for a while.
"Nameless is right, you're too attached to what happened ten years ago. β
Hugo narrowed his eyes and said, "If it weren't for what happened ten years ago, I wouldn't be in front of this tea couch today." β
Li Du turned the teacup with his hand and said, "What happened ten years ago could have passed. β
Hugo understood that although Li Du in front of him was the chief knight of the Tsukishima Sanctuary, he was now more of a politician.
Hugo was equally blunt: "I am not a politician. β
Li Du smiled and nodded, "People all over the world know this. β
Hugo leaned back and said: "The responsibility of a politician is to solve the problem, and now that the matter has happened, how are you going to solve it?" β
Li Du said: "The so-called big things into small things and small things do not refer to the means of coping, but to the use of time, and time is the best weapon to solve everything." β
Hugo said, "So do you have that much time now?"
Li Du stared at Hugo and said, "I didn't." β
Hugo gloated a little and said, "Then you have to think of something else." β
Li Du said: "I am not a god, let alone a savior. Naturally, there is no reason to take over everything. It's not me who has to deal with the situation at hand, it's us. β
Hugo picked: "We?"
Li Du said: "That's right, we." Of course, the inclusion of this word can be broader. β
Hugo said: "To what extent?"
Li Du said: "Everyone who is alive. β
Hugo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This definition is too big, you and I both know that the real solution to the problem is only a small group of people." β
Li Du nodded and said, "That's right, but that's only in a specific era of peace." And when a great era comes, everyone can't escape it. There is only what you want and what you don't want, and there is no such thing as being able or not. Heaven is fair to some extent, and He has not only given man a life, but also a chance. β
