Chapter 52: The Happiness That Can't Be Given (2)
"Chaos, chaos......"
Expressing his lamentation, Mercer casually pressed the TV that was playing the midday news, and sat back on the small single sofa, staring at the beige shiny floor tiles in a daze.
And Natsumi was only wearing a wide white shirt, bare slender and smooth legs, and swaggered around the double room. Although Mercer protested on several occasions that she was too seductive and simple, she rejected each time on the grounds that it was too hot.
I don't know how the air conditioner is running.
Seeing Mercer's movements, Natsumi also dragged over another single sofa and placed it directly opposite him. Then he retracted with most of them, curled up his legs, rested his chin on his round knees, and stared at Mercer in a daze.
It's always like this. Even if she didn't bother with her, she still used all kinds of strange actions to keep herself entertained, such as now.
Natsumi blinked her eyes, occasionally gently wrapping her index finger around her black hair a few times, and then slowly put it down.
In the long and accustomed silence, one can only rely on the slight change in the angle of incidence of the light outside the window to judge that something called time is flowing. The slowness of the flow is almost suffocating.
"Aren't you going anywhere else in the afternoon?"
Mercer finally tried to break the nourishing silence, but he could come up with an equally nourishing topic.
"You look very unmotivated." Xia Mi tilted his head slightly, and did not answer directly, his black and warm eyes were still facing him, and he was also always black, faintly blurry, "Not happy?" ”
“…… No. ”
Mercer wanted to force a smile and say something like 'I'm fine, why don't I go have another meal in the afternoon'. It's a pity that after a few turns in my throat, I still can't help but don't want to lie to her.
Actually, it's not a lie, is it? It's just that time is running out.
He didn't even know after which night he would never see the girl's smile again, and he would see it with his own eyes...... Even those cute and playful words that buried her with their own hands.
So for no reason, he wanted to try his best to be better for her, whether it was a park he wanted to go to in the morning, a famous museum he wanted to visit in the afternoon, or something delicious and fun, he would do his best to satisfy her. It was only when he saw Natsumi's smile that she was so easily satisfied that he could feel a little relieved.
After all, it's his fault for not being able to make changes.
"I'm a little tired, it's out of the way."
He replied, carefully avoiding Natsumi's transparent eyes, suppressing his hesitation and uneasiness on his face. He didn't want to let his bad form affect her.
Even if these actions were useless, they were the only chance he could make amends.
"That's right...... Then take a good rest today. ”
Xia Mi didn't look unhappy, but he didn't immediately get up energetically and announce that the task of the afternoon was to open up the two-player mode of a certain single-player game, and his eyes were still a little confused, staring in his direction.
And he could only stare at the air, at a loss.
"Can you tell us about your past? No matter how you look at it, the man who was in the limelight on the day of freedom and single-handedly contained the dragon king Constantine must have been very interesting in the past. ”
Perhaps in order to liven up the atmosphere and kill this difficult time, Xia Mi also raised a topic. "Besides, explaining your glorious deeds to the little junior sister is probably something that all senior brothers like to do, right?"
Mercer felt a toothache because the topic was almost unanswerable.
Crossing into the world of the dragon family, in addition to making a small intervention in the plot of the Black Swan Harbor, the only other behaviors that can be counted are to give Odin a head and overturn the dragon servant in the Yangtze River.
And the rest of the time?
So filter out all kinds of supplemental reading novels and pretend to be in the forum, and only the night breeze of the high-rise building and the familiar lights are left. Moments in between, with almost nothing left.
What can be said? And what is there to say?
"Senior brother, your expression is terrible right now." Xia Mi said softly, not knowing whether it was mocking or sympathetic.
"Yes. If you use a metaphor, it's probably like the little white rabbit that was taken by a bear to wipe its ass, right? Suddenly thinking of this metaphor used by Nuo Nuo to describe Lu Mingfei in the original book, while it was funny, he once again felt a sense of frustration and loss.
Nono and Caesar are probably still showing affection, right? Maybe the video of confessing and kissing in the lake is not far from filming. And Lu Mingfei was still ignorant and at a loss.
Mercer was equally overwhelmed.
When reading novels, people will unconsciously substitute themselves into the identity of the protagonist, so the love affair between Nono and Caesar is naturally unpleasant. But in reality, it is precisely the most appropriate and suitable result.
Chaos.
He hung his head in despair, and once again he really felt that there was something called fate, or something that had been predestined, and that there was nothing to be done. Not every story has an ending.
The jade-white instep suddenly replaced the meaningless floor tiles in his vision.
"Anla, Anla, it's going to get better, senior brother, you have to relax."
Natsumi quietly walked up to him, leaned down and hugged him gently. Warm and slender hands patted his back, as if comforting a crying and wayward child.
She didn't hold it tightly, but an extraordinarily warm feeling passed from her body to his heart, and the long smooth hair seemed to be some kind of impregnable barrier, and the end was lightly leaning against his face, and there was a real sense of reassurance.
The afternoon sun is quiet and leisurely, shining on the two people who are gently snuggled together at this moment, like a beautiful picture.
Mercer slowly raised his head to meet Natsumi's warm eyes.
The light - the light that saved him from his troubles, the light that was greater than Christ's creation, something hundreds of times greater than Mary's tenderness.
He had nothing more to ask for than this light.
So he stretched out his hands and took the girl into his arms.
"Huh...... How to ......"
Natsumi couldn't help but let go of his hands, and the flush spread from his neck to the base of his ears, obviously surprised by his actions.
He didn't exert any force, as if he was holding a priceless treasure that had been handed down from generation to generation, or a ball of formless and insubstantial light in his hand, for fear that as long as he exerted his strength, this light would leave him and never return.
"I'm sorry. Thank you. ”
Mercer muttered under his breath, burying his face between her hair and jade neck, peeling off all disguise along with her, revealing her most fragile nature.
At this moment, he doesn't know what the black light virus is, and he doesn't have those terrifying transformation forms and combat effectiveness, the only thing left is his ordinary, soft and fragile self. No different from ordinary people.
"What do you say," Natsumi seemed to be amused, and moved slightly, finding a suitable place to lean on his not very broad chest, "how can anyone talk like that." First sorry, then thank you, it looks like the villain in the movie apologized insincerely after using the opponent. ”
From her slightly trembling body because she was not used to it, she could see that she was not as relaxed as she appeared at the moment.
"Okay, okay, just think of it as a small sacrifice made by my senior sister for the mental health of my senior brother......"
Natsumi desperately tried to find a reason to get past her embarrassment, while covering her face with her hands in an attempt to lower the overly hot temperature, but unfortunately the faint aura that kept coming from the other person doomed her to be in vain.
Mercer looked up suddenly, making serious eye contact with her dodging panicked eyes.
"It may make you feel a little embarrassed, but ......"
"I like you."
“……”
As if suddenly a switch had been pressed, Natsumi stiffened for a moment, then slowly slumped and handed over all the weight of his body to him.
The King of the Earth and the Mountain, known for his perfect control of power, doesn't seem to have the strength to struggle even a little at the moment.
"Where...... How can you say this all of a sudden......" Her eyes became more and more evasive, and her voice no longer had the same aura as before.
The shy flush even crawled all over her body, making her skin white and red, looking like she was beautiful and delicious.
"It's too ...... to do that It's so rude......."
In a panic, I accidentally bit my tongue.
After all, so suddenly, I like it, I like it, and it's in a place like a hotel room, it's really too unromantic and scary......
But in the end, under Mercer's gentle smile, she was still defeated, and she could only choose to turn her head away and no longer continue to look at his face.
It doesn't matter much if you compromise or something......
"Both...... If that's the case, are you responsible? ”
Even the gloom in his heart seemed to understand what an important moment this moment was, and it was extremely rare that he did not jump out to disturb the atmosphere.
"Don't worry, I'll be in charge until the moment I die."
Mercer gently stroked her long hair and smiled, only to feel that there had never been an afternoon so beautiful, and never had such a warm temperature and light.
