As the sun sets, the earth is bathed in the afterglow, and people stroll through the streets in twos and threes, and the evening breeze slowly blows a faint fragrance of flowers and trees.

The dim sunlight happily sneaked into the dilapidated restaurant through the wide open wooden door, and López held the doorknob lightly, his back against the warm sunset, everything was so familiar.

However, Edvina seemed to be a little busy, so busy that she didn't even have time to go out to greet the guests, and when she walked in softly, all she could see was a mess of tables and chairs.

The clanging sound of the dishes ringing in the kitchen at the back, along with Edvena's tired-sounding voice, "I'm sorry, I'm running out of ingredients today." ”

"Yes, why haven't I heard of this happening in the restaurant of the young and beautiful Edwina family?"

He had expected Edwina to react heavily, but the restaurant became quiet for a moment, and López could even hear the regular beating of his own heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, seriously, if it weren't for the screams coming from the kitchen that would have punctured his eardrums, he might have thought Edvina was performing some kind of vanishing magic or trick on him.

After the scream, Edvina hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and then gave López a big hug: "Stinky boy, you have been out for so long before you know to come back and see?"

"Well, I've been thinking about the food you made all the time, and honestly, I didn't find out how delicious the food you made after I couldn't eat it. With that, López made a rather exaggerated expression, trying to amuse Edvenna, because the corners of her eyes were already starting to moisten a little

After gently wiping away the tears that didn't have time to fall, Edvina spoke again: "Do you see that I don't believe it, stinky boy, how are you doing?"

"Actually, it's not bad, at least it's a little bit of change and growth. "It's that feeling of being a loved one and it makes López feel comfortable.

"yes, that's good, oh, my little López is not a little López anymore, I haven't seen him for a year, I've really grown a lot. With that, Edvina stood on tiptoe and touched Lopez's head, then stepped back again, looked at Lopez for a while, and then continued: "Yes, it's already a man. ”

However, this made López a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he smelled a slight burning smell in the air: "Aunt Wenna, do you smell anything strange?"

Edvina sniffled, then screamed again.

Fortunately, López quickly blocked his ear, otherwise his eardrum would have been shattered.

"My food. Edvina screamed in distress as she hurried towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Lopez gently pulled out a chair, and then sat down silently, helplessly watching Edvina not far away busy in the kitchen, she was still so sloppy.

After a long time, Edvina slowly walked out, carrying a roast chicken in her hand.

This made López a little moved: "Aunt Wenna, didn't you say that the ingredients are all used up?"

"Stinky boy. After saying that, Edvina glared at him, and then stuffed the roast chicken in her hand into López's hand: "Okay, go back quickly, your grandfather has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

López, who took the roast chicken, couldn't help but be stunned, yes, it's time for him to go back and take good care of his grandfather.

He only hoped that this opportunity would last a little longer, and with that thought, he reached into his pocket and was about to take out the gold coins to pay the bill.

Edvina raised her hand to stop him, "Alright, this is a gift to celebrate your return." ”

This made López smile again, and sure enough, at any time, some people were as simple and warm as ever, and after bowing his hand, López walked out with his legs raised.

The icy air lifted López a little, and at this moment, he felt that he was truly back in Sivir Town, everything had not changed, and it was still so familiar.

But after all, it was just a feeling, in fact, that the people in the town of Sivir had passed away, too much.

The streets were a little empty, perhaps because it was close to night, and he could only comfort himself.

He couldn't forget the massacre that day, not because of fear, but because he felt a little melancholy, the villagers in Sivir Town were very good, and they helped him and his grandfather a lot, but they didn't protect him well, which still made him feel guilty.

Finally, he stood in front of the familiar door again, raised his hand and gently pushed the door, the door was not locked, it seems that his grandfather's habit of leaving the door for him has not changed.

As soon as he entered, he saw Hayes sitting in a familiar chair, quietly waiting.

Without a moment's pause, Hayes's kind smile appeared on his face again: "You're back, Xiao Si." ”

It's like López never left.

"Grandpa, I came back with roast chicken today. With that, he felt the moistness in the corners of his eyes.

"Well, let's eat first. With a soft voice, Hayes struggled to move down on crutches, then turned to return to the room.

Seeing this, López hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Hayes, perhaps he just wanted to welcome López home in his own way.

When Hayes's figure disappeared around the corner, López gently placed the roast chicken on the table.

The aroma continued to spread, which made him a little hungry, and at this time, Hayes slowly walked out of the room, but his appearance changed greatly.

Hayes is no longer rickety, he has become tall and strong, his face is covered with long blond hair, the two yellow ears on his head are quite conspicuous, and it is worth mentioning that he does not need crutches to walk.

Of course, López's face was full of surprise, but, perhaps as a matter of course, he subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted, Grandpa.

This made Hayes smile, and he walked over and rubbed Lopez's head: "Xiao Si, there are some things that have to be hidden from you, I'm sorry. ”

After speaking, Hayes complained a little helplessly: "Old man, I will be tired to death after only maintaining it for a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body returned to its original state, and then he continued: "There are some things that you can know now. ”

Without speaking, López just sat and listened silently.

Seeing this, Hayes's fingers began to tap on the table constantly, seriously, he wanted to tell López everything, but after calming down and thinking for a while, he decided to hide some of it for the time being.

"Actually, I am only the butler of your mother's family, and they entrusted me to raise you before my death, and Narsai is your relative, and you should call him uncle. Hayes's face was full of solemnity.

It's a lie to say that he wasn't shocked, but there was one thing López felt that Hayes was wrong.

He raised his hand and reached out to Hayes's wrinkled hand, "Thank you for raising me, Grandpa, it's really nice to have you by your side." ”

"Xiao Si, everyone has their own story, or a new try, or a lot of weather, but no matter what kind of life, you have to face the setbacks you have to face, so you don't have to care so much, as long as there is hard work, it is enough to live enough, life, that's it, even if you can't resist, you can only try your best to resist, give up, it's quite simple, but what we need is to give up the opportunity to give up, maybe you can't achieve your goals after trying, but there will still be some results after all, isn't it?"
