Volume 1 Chapter 76 A Line Between the Lines I
"Pastry, confectionery, ......"
Just as someone was yelling (pseudo) trying to brush up on her presence, Lux, who was too shy from someone's sudden attack, finally calmed down from the redness of her face and ears caused by the accelerated blood circulation, and the feeling of her heart "pounding". Lux, who had just regained her composure, remembered her purpose in riding the 'Alice' (which was damaged by someone), and she followed someone to brush up on her presence.
Compared to the dilemma of someone who is completely ignored, Lux's situation is much better, Lux has just brushed her sense of existence, and Alice, who is sitting in the driver's seat and driving smoothly, has already answered, "Your Highness Lux, the pastry has been placed in the camera box, and it is not convenient for me to take it out for you now, so I have to ask you to take it out yourself." The so-called cassette in Alice's mouth is located at the lower back of the driver's seat, and as long as you press on it, the cassette with a telescopic spring will automatically pop out.
When she heard Alice mention the 'cassette', Lux already knew what to do, in fact, by this time, Lux had already taken out a small wooden box with a square shape and delicate decoration from the popping up cassette.
She stretched out her little hand to untie the lid and the buckle of the box, and then opened the lid, only to see that the inside was divided into four small squares, and several broken green sandwich cakes were placed in the lattice of each square, and the bottom and perimeter of it were wrapped in white paper with lace dark lines, so as to avoid direct contact with the box.
"Sister Wanying, give~"
Lux took out a piece of crushed green sandwich cake from the wooden box and politely handed it to Kong Wanying, who was sitting in front of me. By the way, Lux was really angry, because she didn't hand it to meβit was the thought that came to me when I smelled the faint scent of tea from the crushed green sandwich and saw that Lux really didn't care about me.
"The crushed green sandwich cake in my side is in the dark box, and the pink milk tea is in Miss Kong's side. β
With the "click, click" chewing sound of Lux and Kong Wanying eating the broken green sandwich cake, Alice's additional words then rang out, to which Lux turned her head to look at me after shouting "Got it". The moment their eyes met, I read the following line of words from her deep blue eyes like the sea: Kiki doesn't hurry up and help someone take out the pink milk tea?
"Okay, okay......"
The sense of existence has been ignored, not to mention, and now I am still driven by the cow and the horse, alas, why is my life so bitter?ββ the above is a joke version, and the realistic version is - well, after helping Lux take out the pink milk tea, it is okay to please Lux, you must know that the broken green sandwich cake is still in the hands of Lux, if you want to eat the broken green sandwich cake, it is estimated that you will also give the article from the pink milk tea, um, um.
After thinking about it, I decisively reached out and pressed the back of the chair, and then I saw eight bottles of pink milk tea in the pop-up cassette. Perhaps because Alice had adjusted the temperature in the camera obscura after getting on the bus, when I took out a bottle of pink milk tea, the water droplets from the thawing process wet my palms, and in order to make sure the walls of the bottle were dry, I said, "Lux, hand me a towel, the bottle is wet, just wipe it." β
"Okay. β
After taking the towel from Lux and drying the wet bottle, I used the bottle opener to pry open the cap and handed it to Lux, "Now, Lux, one bottle for two pieces of crushed green sandwich cake, okay?"
"Kiki is really, if you want to eat broken green sandwich cakes, just say it, how can people know if they don't say it? How can people give Qiqi broken green sandwich cakes if they don't know...... Well, then it's better to exchange one-to-one. β
I could see a sly smile on Lux's lovely and charming face, and she was able to put an end to this nag after a set of pithy and concise nonsense that made me dizzy and signed countless unfair agreements. The moment I took the crushed green sandwich that Lux handed me, I just felt like I had just walked around the edge of hell, and I was just one foot away from going to hell β well, kidding.
"Uh......h Lux is the best for me. β
After receiving the crushed green sandwich cake handed by Lux, I shamelessly got tired of Lux's side again.
While nibbling on the crisp and delicious green sandwich cake with a refreshing matcha aroma, I praised Lux for his kindness to me in the sky and in the ground, and said that Lux humbly lowered his head, saying that he would not ignore me in the future, and then I took a satisfied sip of the pink milk tea that Lux had just drunk, and ended the dispute with a sigh of "This is life......
- In short, the result is that Lux is defeated by someone and forced into the gentle countryside that someone has created. So the ending is that someone won a big victory, not only eating broken green sandwich cakes, drinking pink milk tea, but also hugging back a cute and charming little Lori, let's cheer for the victory: oh yes~
Just when I was having a "intense" discussion with Lux, Kong Wanying, who had obtained the delicacy of 'crushed green sandwich cakes' from Lux again, continued to eat, but at the same time talked about weather-related topics with Alice, who was driving, only to hear her say slightly vaguely (eating cookies): "Obviously the weather has just been beautiful, why has it suddenly become so bad?"
At this time, the scenery outside the car window was long gone, and the clouds above the sky were like a big mountain, which weighed down people a little, and the wind carried the torrential rain down like a thousand arrows, accompanied by the crackling sound of hitting the car, which disturbed people and made it difficult to control themselves. It is not an exaggeration to describe such a scene as bleak and gloomy.
At this moment, the Maffei S320 limousine carrying our group followed the sign and merged into the huge traffic rushing to the Axis Island, which changed the originally gloomy and drowsy scene.
Because the sky is dark and gloomy, and it is raining violently, the visibility is naturally reduced a lot, so at this time on the wide lane, the turbulent traffic has turned on all kinds of lights, high or low, bright or dark lights will illuminate the entire wide lane as if it were day, and the lines woven by the downpour rain are delicate under the illumination of the lights, like a carefully outlined line drawing, full of strange beauty.
"The weather in the Plant is controlled by the Weather Bureau, and it makes it sunny, it can become sunny in the blink of an eye, it makes it rainy, it can turn into rain in the blink of an eye, how can I say it? It's just a prank by the Met Bureau, but sometimes this sudden change is really helpless and laughable......
Alice, who had slowed down her speed because of the sudden storm, said something serious that made Kong Wanying dumbfounded, she didn't expect that this sudden storm was just a prank on the whim of the Plant Meteorological Bureau...... I don't know how to complain.
"Is the city just going to let this happen? The traffic is already congested enough, doesn't this rain make it more difficult for people to walk?
Kong Wanying, who finally finished eating the crushed green sandwich cake, said clearly in her words. In this regard, Alice still replied with a serious expression: "People will always be bored with the same life, and the inexplicable weather from time to time can effectively alleviate this boredom, which is the opinion of psychology expert XXXX." Actually, I don't agree with that, but the occasional mischief of the Met Office is effective in relieving the boring years day after day, year after year......"
"To put it simply...... Although ordinary people will always scold the street when the weather changes, if there is no such prank, ordinary people will not even have the opportunity to scold the street...... Incidentally, the Meteorological Bureau also did this because previous surveys had shown that the majority of citizens wanted to live a more 'natural' life. β
Hearing this, Kong Wanying suddenly realized, "To put it bluntly, it's a group of idle ** who feel that it's always too boring, so they gave the Meteorological Bureau the privilege of pranking at any time...... But then again, did the rainstorm cover the whole of April?"
"Of course not, man-made rainstorms are not cheap, so they are usually only carried out in a certain area. For example, this time, I think that the scope of the rainstorm only includes the Axis Island and other islands within a radius of no more than 3 kilometers, and the islands that exceed this range should not be within the scope of the rainstorm. β
Alice replied, and I, who was already embracing Lux in my arms, added, "In fact, the edge of this sudden rainstorm produces a beautiful scenery that is rarely seen in the world, and have you ever heard the saying, 'Heaven and hell are often separated by a thin line'. β
Isn't that a phrase used to describe the relationship between life and death? β
Kong Wanying's expression has become a big embarrassment, she has never heard of this sentence can be used to describe the scenery, but if there is really a kind of scenery that can be worthy of this sentence, "Maybe it is indeed a rare beauty in the world." Thinking so, Kong Wanying turned her gaze to the still congested traffic in front of her.
"You'll see, it's beautiful, it reminds me a lot of what it's like to look up at heaven in hell......"
I said this in a murmuring tone, and when I was done, I looked down at Lux, who was curled up in my arms, just as she was staring at me with wide eyes. Seeing me look at her, her beautiful face burst into a suffocating smile, and her cherry lips opened slightly, and a crisp and pleasant voice sounded: "That...... What would it be like to look down on hell from heaven?"
