Chapter 24: You guard the Great Wall, I will protect you
I have to say that the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork cooked by Lu Yu has an irresistible fragrance.
As if it were a special magic, hanging Mulan's sense of smell.
Otherwise, she would not have been in the room, so she asked from afar about the smell of porridge.
However, the porridge in Lu Yu's hand was very different from ordinary white porridge, and it seemed to have some other food.
It seems that the empty night sky is dotted with stars and moons, and there is a special flavor in the simplicity.
"Is this porridge?"
Mulan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked curiously.
She'd never seen porridge like this.
"Hehe, this is called preserved egg and lean porridge, and it's my exclusive secret."
Lu Yu said with a smile, it seems that people in this world don't know about preserved egg and lean porridge.
"Sister Mulan, I didn't have dinner last night, and I'm very hungry now, right?"
Lu Yu handed the porridge to Mulan.
“......”
Mulan just wanted to say something, but her stomach made a "cooing" sound.
"If there's anything, let's talk about it after eating."
Mulan's tone was not as cold as just now, but became flat, and her eyes were not as sharp as before, but softened.
"Huh? Why are you standing stupidly and not coming in? ”
Seeing Lu Yu standing at the door like a log, Mulan beckoned him to enter the house together.
"Eh, should I come in too?"
Lu Yu looked confused, this is Mulan's room, is it really okay to go in by yourself?
"If you want to stand all the time, then I have no problem with that."
"Then I'm in."
As soon as he stepped into Mulan's room, Lu Yu asked a faint and tangy musk, which made people stunned and refreshed, and the veins in his body seemed to circulate a lot.
Inside the house, several bright lights are burning, and curling green smoke rises, making people feel as if they are in a fantasy world.
In addition to these, there is no special decoration in Mulan's house, it is just some extremely common furniture.
The room was not very large, but everything was in order, like a line of soldiers, well organized, exceptionally clean, with almost no trace of dust.
It seems that even if she is fighting hard outside, her room is extraordinarily meticulous.
Hua Mulan carefully brought the porridge to the table, took the spoon from Lu Yu's hand, and scooped a spoonful of porridge with some eagerness.
"Well, yes, it's delicious."
Mulan was taken aback at first, she had never eaten such delicious porridge.
Although the porridge cooked by Baili Shoujo is also very good, it is not as good as Lu Yu's bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, with meat and vegetables, smooth taste, heart-warming and stomach-warming.
Hua Mulan quickly became addicted to eating, and she didn't even eat dinner last night, and after a while, a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork was wiped out by her.
Lu Yu sat opposite him so quietly, watching Mulan eat porridge, and always felt that she was like this, with a strong contrast between her solemn appearance on weekdays.
"Lu Yu, is there anything else?"
After eating this bowl, Mulan raised her head to look at Lu Yu, saying that she wanted to continue to eat again.
"If you want to eat it, I can cook a little more."
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, it seems that Mulan really likes to eat the porridge she cooks.
It gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"Ding! Mulan's opinion is increased by 10 points. ”
The system prompts.
"Forget it, don't use it......"
Although she liked the porridge cooked by Lu Yu very much, Hua Mulan thought about it and dispelled the idea of letting him cook another pot.
"Sister Mulan, do you like to eat this bowl of porridge?"
Lu Yu sat opposite Mulan, put his hand on his cheek, and smiled warmly.
"Well, it's very tasty, even better than the guy who kept the promise cooked, I ...... I like it. ”
"If you like, I can cook this bowl of porridge for you every day in the future."
Lu Yu looked at Mulan, and there was a sincere light in his eyes.
"Good...... No, did you come here to say something to me? ”
Hua Mulan just wanted to say a good word, but the conversation changed and she returned to business.
"Sister Mulan, I want to apologize to you."
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, remembering the cold back left by Mulan that night and leaving, his heart was in chaos.
Because he said something contrary to her beliefs, he made her unhappy.
Apologize, too.
"Apologize."
As if expected, Mulan muttered and slowly stood up.
"Actually, I should apologize to you for what happened that night."
"I'm sorry, Lu Yu, I shouldn't have said that kind of thing to break your heart."
The sudden reversal caught Lu Yu off guard.
"Huh? Sister Mulan, why are you apologizing, shouldn't it be me? ”
Lu Yu looked confused, obviously he came to apologize and ask for forgiveness, isn't this putting the cart before the horse.
"Lu Yu, I can understand that you want to protect my mind. But since I am the general of the Great Wall Guards and guard the Great Wall, I have an unshirkable responsibility. And behind me, not only the Great Wall and the people, but also you, the partners who make me worthy of protecting with my life. ”
"Life and death are not something I can decide, although I also want to live forever, and be able to watch the sunset on the horizon with everyone every day, reflecting the shadow of my hometown."
When she said these words, Mulan did not hesitate at all.
Although she also cared about the desire for life, hell was close at hand, and it was not for her to decide.
She didn't avoid Lu Yu's gaze, but looked at him with each other.
The psychedelic musk and green smoke swirled with it, but it couldn't hide the resolute eyes.
Born fearless, fight to the end.
This is Mulan's belief and a flame that will never be extinguished.
"So, Lu Yu, I also hope you can understand the hardships between us."
Although there was an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, worried that her words would hurt Lu Yu again, Hua Mulan still said her words clearly.
This is something that both she and Lu Yu have to face, otherwise, the knot hidden in the depths of their hearts will never be untied.
"Sister Mulan, it is your responsibility to protect the Great Wall."
It wasn't that Lu Yu would refute himself again, as Mulan was worried about, but spoke very calmly.
"Well, that's a duty I'm going to fulfill with my life."
Mulan nodded.
Lu Yu lowered his head, took out the medal left by Mulan from his arms, and stared at it.
"This medal was left to me by you at that time. At that time, I didn't know what it meant. ”
"Sister Mulan, I once said that we will all survive, and I will definitely fulfill this vow with my life."
"You guard the Great Wall, and I will protect you."
A very simple and clear sentence, Lu Yu also said it with firmness.
Holding the medal in his hand tightly, Lu Yu's eyes have never been so firm as they are now.
