Chapter 44: The Origin of the Name
"It's been noisy since just now, and the rare good sleep has been disturbed."
After Xiaobai put the herbal water into the storage box one by one, she suddenly heard a slightly old and noisy voice, she was thinking about things and was startled by the sound, and almost overturned the box in front of her.
"Ah, it's you."
After walking around the room, she remembered the Tokti that had been hanging on her chest, so she took it off and rubbed it gently in the palm of her hand.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"I've been used to you for a long time, and during this time, I'm either uncomfortable with bouncing around, or I'm quiet as if I'm dead, and that's nothing—I mean those just now, what a bad tone."
"It's already in the past, so don't mention it."
"Oh, I was bullied."
"No, don't talk nonsense, when Louisa comes back, you will act as if nothing happened!"
"Little girl, if everyone could hear me, I would have been worth a fortune a long time ago, and I could still wait for you to buy it at a low price in that kind of poor country."
Tokti yawned.
"I told you before, my previous masters are all famous figures in history, before they are loved, they have also experienced the unbearable hardships of ordinary people, but you are different from them, you stand in front of others earlier than them, this achievement is lucky, but the result of being able to fall short of position is terrible, I can feel your fear... But have you ever wondered why God wants to bring these things down on you... Perhaps God sees your unique light, and she believes that even if you cannot be recognized for the time being, one day, your efforts will turn into a smooth path for you. Or maybe... Will you be the one who saved the continent of Lupi? ”
"Lupi Continent?"
Xiaobai looked at Tokti in confusion, but found that the tirade just now seemed to have exhausted its physical strength, and the purple streamer on his face was once again reduced to a dull gray.
Recalling the words of this strange treasure just now, Xiao Bai thought of his mind again and muttered to himself.
"Do I have my own light...?"
…
In the recent after-school life, Xiaobai and Emilia are almost inseparable.
Because the new semester has just begun, and many of the gods whose main system is summoners are not in the courtyard, Louisa naturally has to share more of their work, plus she also has to learn new knowledge, as well as deal with commissions from time to time outside the academy, so she can't see anyone every day, and she herself often drags her tired body back to the dormitory late at night and falls asleep.
Xiaobai has no other friends, and the relationship with her classmates is just plain as water, and she is embarrassed to ask them when she encounters problems, after all, in addition to the general relationship, she also has other concerns, the first grade grade, but she asks a lot of naïve questions, which is really embarrassing to think about, so after class, Xiaobai mostly soaked in the library.
Bhatis and Emilia meet again in the library, and they happen to be sitting at the same desk.
According to Amilia, she no longer had any good friends after Xiaobai left, so after seeing each other again this time, the two often tacitly went to find each other, studied and chatted together, and from time to time went to Divine Grace Street on the sprout level, and the days were no longer boring.
On this day, Xiaobai invited Emilia to the bedroom for tea, and the two chatted and chatted about the origin of their respective names.
"Well, you cover the blanket first!"
Emilia put a thick cotton blanket on Xiaobai's body, and Xiaobai pulled the blanket and wondered.
"You don't need this now, do you?"
"I think I'll need it in a moment."
With that, she sat down cross-legged and cleared her throat as if to start speaking.
"Actually, I didn't have that name originally, but my current name was changed later. You may not think that when I was a child, I was much more naughty than now, every time I ate, I would always grab the rice and sprinkle it everywhere, and say what was snowing and snowing, my grandmother felt sorry for the wasted food, I was young and not good at scolding me, so I often squatted on the ground and sighed and said, 'Alas, rice grains', over time I also learned, someone asked me my name and I replied like this, and also clamored my mother to change her name, and finally I couldn't resist me, so I changed this homonym Emilia. ”
“…”
Xiaobai wrapped the blanket tightly.
"This winter is earlier than usual."
"Hmph, don't try to interrupt the conversation, it's your turn."
Emilia tore the blanket over herself.
"Me."
Xiaobai poked his chin with his finger and recalled the origin of his name.
"Actually, many people think that my surname is white, but in fact, white is only a part of my name, our family is a family without a surname, and the word white is only because of my hair color. Ti's words... I really don't know, but my father's family has a good name, and I think it's also the inheritance of the family, as for the last word..."
Speaking of this, Xiaobai rubbed the back of his head with some embarrassment.
"My mother gave me this word, and she said that her daughter's white hair was like silver threads, and she hoped that I would become an elegant and learned woman in the future."
"Why is the silver thread a symbol of elegance and erudition?"
Emilia was puzzled.
"Silver thread is usually used to decorate aristocratic gowns or erudite clothes, and basically all of Frinea's college uniforms are decorated with silver thread, and our Emmeline Selu is also sewn with silver thread."
The sound came from the door, and the two turned their heads, only to see that Louisa had pushed open the door and walked in, about to put the book on the desk.
“…”
"Ah, Louisa is back! Let me introduce you to this one, this is Emilia, the one mentioned earlier. ”
After a period of school, Louisa also had time to take a breather in her busy life, and asked about her recent life, Xiaobai was very excited to talk about Emilia, and mentioned her previous yearning for Louisa, after Louisa listened, she said that she could be invited to study together, so there was today's invitation.
I wanted to surprise my friend, but instead of being happy, the other party's face turned blue, she quickly changed her shoes, picked up her backpack and stood up.
"Well, I remembered that there were some other things, so I went back first."
After saying that, she lowered her head and left the room as if she had fled.
Louisa looked at her hastily departing back as if she remembered something, but after a closer look, she shook her head again.
"I guess I made a mistake."
