The porridge was still not eaten in the end.

This pot is really big, and there is a lot of porridge in it, even if Xiu and the Valkyries eat it together, they don't finish it.

As for why Xiu is also eating... Because if Xiu doesn't eat it, Victoria won't eat it either.

If their commanders don't eat, they're never allowed to eat a bit. Xiu didn't eat dinner either, and the only bowl of broth was pushed to Selena, and he was also on an empty stomach, but he didn't eat much himself, and the remaining Valkyries were hungry for too long, and they didn't dare to eat too much at all.

Or rather, the Valkyries with tears in their eyes have no intention of eating anymore.

They were not crying, but silently weeping, drinking the porridge in the pot little by little, taking turns using the only spoon.

Occasionally, you can smell the scent wafting in from the cafeteria in the distance. The tantalizing smell could almost seduce the soul, but in the hut, in the thick aroma of porridge, the fragrance gradually dissipated. The Valkyries all focused their eyes only on the porridge in front of them.

When they all stopped, there was still a small part left in the pot.

"Let's go back to sleep when you're done. You all have to get a good rest. ”

The Valkyries got up and retracted into their covers.

"Xiu..."Victoria wiped the water stains from her mouth, sat down next to Xiu, looked into Xiu's eyes and said, "Thank you... You've done so much, but I don't have anything to repay you, and at this time, all I can reciprocate is a thank you... That's it. ”

"I'm just a knight," Xiu paused. He thought for a moment before chuckling and said, "I just did what I felt was right." ”

What do you think is right?

Victoria savored the words.

"Repair... I have some questions on my mind, can you answer them? Victoria asked hesitantly.

"If I can help you..."

She took a deep breath, as if she was gathering the strength of her whole body, "Why... You want to keep this pot of porridge for us...", but when he asked, his voice involuntarily weakened.

"Didn't I say that..."

"I... I think it's quite detailed..."Victoria whispered, looking down, "Can you say it again..."

Xiu looked at Victoria, who looked down, a look of remembrance flashing in his eyes.

"Actually, at first, I really wanted to pour it out. Even if you have to be punished by the instructor. Victoria, I felt really bad when you rejected me. Ask someone else to help you make food, but you refuse... I'm really bad. ”

Xiu smiled bitterly.

"But I didn't know why, so I put up with it. Buried the pot not far away... That day, I didn't have the heart to do anything else. In the evening, I talked to my teacher about it. "I don't know if it's right or wrong to take it upon yourself to prepare food for you, because you refused, and I think the first thing I did was wrong." Originally, students were not allowed to cook without permission, and even though I was only heating it, it was not allowed either, so it was the second thing I felt was wrong. You refuse the food, so the food is something that no one eats and I can't eat, so it's a waste of food. That's the third thing I feel like I'm doing wrong... You know, I've never done three things wrong in a row in one day? However, my teacher gave me a very positive answer. He told me that I had done nothing wrong. ”

"He was very positive about my behaviour and said that I was doing very well and that no one else could have done better. He talked to me a lot, a lot. He encouraged me to keep doing things that could help others. Xiu smiled, "If my teacher hadn't said that, I think I might really ignore you." ”

Victoria looked at Xiu blankly, and only nodded lightly for a long time, and said enviously, "Why don't I have such a teacher?" Why do we only have—" She didn't go on.

"The teacher told me to persevere and guard my heart. He said that as long as the heart is noble, there will be no wrong things. Because such a person will not hurt others. Xiu subconsciously pressed his chest.

"So, then I decided that I had to find a way. Because at that time, my heart only told me one thing - you are hungry, you need to eat. And I'm going to want you to eat. ”

"Fortunately, Heaven is on my side... Maybe it's you who cares about it, and I'm just taking it with you. Dimert is coming. He snatched my papers. It's full of hints of the map Gerald gave me. But thanks to him for snatching the papers, otherwise, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance. Xiu smiled slyly, "Maybe he couldn't have imagined that after he took Gerald's papers, it was the real reason for his failure." Xiu stretched.

Maybe on a cold night, a hot porridge can really warm up your body. It's very comfortable to warm up when it's cold, especially when it's time to relax after a tiring day.

Xiu now felt a warm current flow from his stomach to every corner of his body, and this hot current was so comfortable that he didn't want to move.

Xiu now feels warm all over his body, which is very comfortable.

"If he hadn't grabbed the map, he wouldn't have known about the existence of the Ice Lake, and Ness wouldn't have entered the lake to find you, and you wouldn't have needed my BANG help. If Dimert hadn't taken the map in the first place... Perhaps, at that time, you will catch me directly, and we will be like fire and water. ”

"Perhaps... Is this the only time I've ever thanked Dimert. Victoria said.

"Perhaps..."Xiu shrugged, "that's detailed. ”

Victoria nodded, and didn't speak.

The two of them huddled quietly by the fire, leaning against the planks of a bed on their backs.

I don't know how long it took for Victoria to speak: "Xiu, maybe after this night, I'm leaving." ”

"Is that so?" Xiu's voice was a little quiet.

"Actually... We may never have eaten so well, warmed our bodies, and slept so well as we do today. Victoria said, hugging her legs and leaning on her knees.

"Hmm..."

Victoria stopped talking, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "We're gone, can we meet again later?" ”

"..."There was no response from Xiu Zong.

Victoria saw that Xiu had tilted his head and fell asleep sleepily against the bed.

Victoria breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Xiu was woken up by the horn blowing of the training camp assembly.

Beside him, the newly added black wood was burning, and the blazing flames licked the kettle, the water in the kettle bubbling, and the warm steam warmed the room.

It's just that the Valkyries in white are gone. Xiu sat up and endured the bitter cold after getting out of the bed.

A piece of paper fell, and a piece of crooked handwriting scribbled on the paper.

Xiu barely understood.

In fact, there are only two words and a symbol on it. A big "thank you" in the middle.

There is also a drop-off: Victoria. The symbol is a delicate smiley face, although it doesn't look like anyone, but the smile that looks a little blank is very similar to Victoria's.

"It's better to have a smile." Xiu said.
