Chapter 35: A Break in the Rare Peace (2)
New day, new morning. Outside the window is a scene that I have gradually begun to get used to. This is an inn located on the same street as the Adventurers' Guild, but about 200 meters apart.
Because of the deception from Louise...... The compensation obtained, even if Zhou Yan does not work, he can stay in a hotel with nothing to do for a while.
But now Zhou Yan felt very irritable. And the cause of irritability is twofold.
For one, Glass has been away from home for a week. Whenever he thought of this, Zhou Yan would be inexplicably irritable.
No, no, no, please don't get me wrong, the reason for Zhou Yan's irritability is not because of the fact that Li ran away itself, nor is it due to some special feelings. At least these two points can be absolutely guaranteed. The reason why Zhou Yan felt irritable was because every day Li would say this in his mind on time and on time: "Yan! Why don't you come to me! No matter! If you don't come to me, I'll live with Ryu! β
Then, he ignored Zhou Yan's call.
"By the way, if you want me to pick you up, you can at least tell me a location, right? And since you want me to find you so much, you can come back by yourself! Isn't the mood of wanting to come back already so obvious, where did you come from to be tsundere? β
The above complaint has also become Zhou Yan's daily routine. But speaking of which, Zhou Yan, who can say such things, seems to be able to understand that he will be single until now.
The second reason for irritability is that Yoyo hasn't been there for a week.
No, the correct way to say it is that Yoyo has locked himself in his room for seven days. Listening to the people around me, every day there would be a miserable cry in the room. Some people who don't know the inside story think that room is haunted.
In this regard, Zhou Yan still said the same thing: "Since you will be shy like this afterwards, don't say that kind of thing in the first place!" β
That guard probably won't come again. Zhou Yan thought of this as he walked down the stairs after washing up. After all, yesterday I was so angry with the other party.
However, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Rudy already standing there in an orderly manner. As soon as he saw Zhou Yan, he quickly ran to him, bowed, and said loudly in a loud voice: "Please accept me as a disciple!" β
"Why are you here again?" Zhou Yan sighed speechlessly.
"I think you said that yesterday to test my sincerity!" Rudy said loudly.
"Enough, enough! Be quiet! When he found that because Rudy spoke so loudly, he had attracted the attention of other people on the first floor, Zhou Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Let's go out and talk." β
After speaking, Zhou Yan left the hotel quickly, and led Rudy to the embankment located at the back of the hotel.
"So, are you willing to take me as an apprentice?" Rudy asked impatiently when Zhou Yan stopped.
"I mean, do you really think you're the main character in the story? Still a test? Where do I have so much spare time! I really don't have that ability! Zhou Yan said with impatience and extreme helplessness: "Moreover, why are you so persistent? You should also know that even if I am willing to teach you, you will not have a chance to win the championship in a month, right? β
"I am, for my wife. I thought, heal her eyes. Rudy said in a very serious and earnest tone.
Staring at each other's eyes, you can see the sincerity in them. It was a look that was not half false. But is it really the same to heal your eyes and fight with your own life? Zhou Yan couldn't understand.
"Your wife's eyes? Are you blind in both eyes? β
"No, it's the wounds of this war. And it's just that the left eye can't see, and nothing else. Moreover, it is just invisible, and there are no visible scars. β
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Yan was completely speechless: "If it's just one eye, it shouldn't affect daily life very much, right?" β
Because I still remember that when I first met this young man who was not a few years older than me, he was angry that he went to find Louise without regard for his wife's safety, but was reprimanded for being inappropriately dressed. At that time, Zhou Yan still clearly remembered that in addition to anger, there was also the sadness of losing the most important thing in life.
But even if Zhou Yan understands that this man loves his wife very much, he can't agree with Rudy's reason.
Or rather, in his opinion, it is not an equivalent exchange at all. Use his life to go to the eye of the ** son? It's not love anymore it's stupid.
"Instead of dreaming about unrealistic dreams, it's better to spend more time with your wife. And if you die, there's no point, is it? β
After saying this, I don't know if it was because of admonition or jealousy, Zhou Yan turned around and left without hesitation.
"Please wait!" Rudy's anxious voice came from behind him.
But Zhou Yan, who had already made up his mind to ignore Rudy, just quickened his pace and continued to move forward. At the same time, Zhou Yan has already focused on other things: Why don't you go find that stupid guy today, even if you don't worry about her safety, but I can't stand it every day.
What made Zhou Yan speechless was that Rudy still followed unrelentingly. For this reason, Zhou Yan had to turn on the "Do Not Disturb mode", and he went in and out of his left ear and right ear for Rudy's words.
In this way, Rudy wanted to continue to ask Zhou Yan in the back, but because of Zhou Yan's attitude, he didn't know what to say until a voice appeared.
"Rudy!"
It was a woman's voice, which was supposed to be gentle and gentle, but it was slightly transfigured because of the anger mixed in.
The unexpected voice made Zhou Yan care a little, so he turned around.
It was a fairly beautiful woman, with long flaxen-colored hair tied up with a light blue handkerchief, she was not particularly pretty, but she gave a very gentle feeling. At first glance, it gives people the feeling that she must be a good wife. However, if you look a little closer, you can see that the left eye of this woman has no sparkle at all.
Now the "good wife" has anger on her face, and Rudy, who is glared at by her, is panicked.
"That's, Layla...... I, the ......" Rudy waved his hand, looking panicked to explain something. At this time, he was more shaken than facing Zhou Yan's poisonous tongue, and even his words became very unclear.
"Come with me!" The woman who was called by Rudy to be Leila grabbed Rudy's hand without saying a word and forcibly pulled him away.
Leila pulled Rudy along the way, looking at his wife who was walking in front of her. Obviously, he could break free with just a shake of his hand, but Rudy wouldn't do that anyway.
It's not that you don't dare, it's not that you don' Rudy didn't even think about shaking off his wife's hand. Only these hands are the things that I have decided to grasp for the rest of my life.
As soon as I got home, I heard a "bang", and Leila would never slam the door like this. From this detail it is enough to understand how angry she is now.
Rudy swallowed involuntarily, always feeling that Leila was so dangerous now. I want to run away.
"Where have you been?" After closing the door, Leila asked with a calm face, but it was probably the calm before the storm.
"Uh, go...... Go, of course, to work......"
"If you lie, you should first get rid of the problem of stammering as soon as you lie to me!"
Rudy's lie was bluntly exposed by Leila: "Yesterday, when I went to the city gate to deliver you food, I was told that you had already resigned!" What the hell are you thinking? β
Uh, what to say? Could it be that SΓΉ Leila herself went to learn the art of apprenticeship and then went to the Stadi martial arts show?
This kind of words that add fuel to the fire, Rudy really can't say it. I didn't dare to say it.
Rudy opened his mouth, but still couldn't speak. Leila looked disappointed.
Rudy knew that his wife's disappointment was not that he wanted to lie to her, but that he was unwilling to explain. I thought that what followed would be her number and anger......
"You...... What a fool......"
How long has it been since you've seen Leila cry? When he saw the tears on his wife's face, Rudy really panicked.
He really can't say it, and once he says it, he will definitely be vetoed by his wife with the most resolute attitude. He reached over, only to be slapped away by Lyra.
"Do you really think I don't know what you want to do?" With her hands on her chest, Leila yelled hoarsely, "You idiot! Finally, because of this merit, he was promoted to the captain of the squad, and he was appreciated by Lord Grudo! Why do such a stupid thing! Isn't it like being ...... if it's known? Am I dragging you down! β
"I said that...... Eyes or something...... It doesn't matter......" The voice from exhaustion to hoarseness to finally being impregnated with crying makes Leila seem so vulnerable.
Sure enough, I can't hide anything from her.
People who know themselves better than themselves, people who know each other better than each other. That's the relationship between Rudy and Leila.
This couple has been together since birth, and marriage is just a matter of course in the eyes of others. Between them, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is love or family affection in the passage of time.
Because of this, they understand each other better than each other, so many times they can understand each other's thoughts even if they don't say it.
"Then don't think about covering your eyes with your hair!" Rudy turned his face away and tried not to look at Leila's crying face, otherwise he would definitely not be able to put on the next indifferent attitude: "You can't just look at it, and it's not to do anything dangerous, just to try your luck!" And after telling the battalion, he said he could wait for me for a while. But I can only start over from a small soldier, and I don't really lose my job. β
used to quarrel with himself a lot, even after getting married, he just maintained a gentle image in front of outsiders, and in fact, the two would quarrel over some trivial things. This kind of thing, even if it is regarded as "natural", they cannot avoid it.
But how long ago did it take to show such a weak expression in front of yourself? Was it the day when her parents died tragically because of the robbers, it can be said that she was lucky or unlucky, and she was the only one who was rescued, and she cried so much that she almost suffocated? Or when he dug her out of the collapsed corner of her home, covered in dust and blood, she cried out of joy or fear?
However, Layla just suddenly pounced and hugged Rudy tightly. It was as if all her strength had exploded, and even Rudy felt out of breath.
"You, too, aren't it just for that reason! You're a liar! β
Yes, liars. It's really troublesome to have someone who knows you better than yourself. If Rudy is lucky enough to get away with participating in the martial arts exercise, then he will go to the front line in the north. That's where an old bachelor who jokes with him all day long and takes care of him like a brother used to stay.
The man named Eun was just cannon fodder who died in the first wave of demonic magic. However, if the man hadn't let him go and given him the task of informing the garrison, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand here now.
So, what I still want to do is go to the front, to see where that man has been. But I also want to come back alive and see you again, so I want to ask someone else to teach me martial arts.
"I'm sorry, but if I don't remember, Eon's old bachelor will soon be forgotten."
Rudy, who scratched his head and tried his best to smile, probably because he was hugged hard by his wife, and the smiling face squeezed out was a little ugly.
"Please don't be like Mom and Dad...... Leave me......"
Burying her face in his chest, she spoke vague words in a weak or even pleading tone. This is the last request of a wife who is unwilling to lose her loved one again, a woman who still has the shadow of loss left in her heart.
"Really, I heard something irritating. If this guy dares to come to me, I'll beat him so much that he doesn't even know his wife. Out of boredom and curiosity, the ghost had thought to himself to a young man who had come to eavesdrop.
Of course, he didn't have good intentions and wanted to protect the couple, but he was just very unhappy with the love of this stupid couple.
And the young person himself usually refuses to commit violence against women under normal circumstances (according to the principle of "twice important", so it is said twice, including that this explanation is not a word fraud, not a word fraud). So if you want to vent, you can only be the stupid husband of the stupid couple.
