Chapter 73: Suddenly
As soon as the four of them opened their eyes, they saw the children sitting obediently next to him looking at his eyes as bright as a small light bulb, and subconsciously touched his face, thinking that there was something dirty.
But no.
As soon as he mentioned the child, he grabbed the little thing, and after collecting the fruits of today's labor, he asked the child: "What are you looking at?" ”
"My brother is so good-looking." She sat in the crook of his arm, and it wasn't enough to blow rainbow farts, but she had to reach out and touch his face like a nymphomaniac.
There are so many good-looking people in the world, and I don't see children boasting about anyone.
The little mouth praised him at every turn, although the words were not gorgeous, but they were always very sincere.
A few simple words of sincerity are far better than a large and beautiful but insincere speech.
The man softened his face, let her rub his face indiscriminately, and took the child to hand in the task.
"Maybe it's because my brother is a prince?" Si Yu said this, narcissistic as usual, he turned his head to look around, stood there and looked at the surrounding environment, and then took the child to the cafeteria.
"Am I a princess, then?" The child was interested, and his back, which was as soft as a bone, straightened up, and his big eyes blinked at him.
It's no wonder that Yiyue didn't take it seriously, not to mention that it is the interstellar era, that is, the modern society before her, princes are used to coax children, and they belong to existences far from reality.
But even if it's coaxed, it's very happy.
"Yes, I appoint you as a little princess, and you will take up your post from today." He nodded her nose and made the child laugh.
Not knowing what came to mind, the child suddenly grabbed his fingers and looked at him curiously.
"Will my brother be the king?" She asked again, her eyes full of interest.
The four of them paused, raised their eyes to look at the non-existent sun, and then lowered their heads and continued to pinch the soft flesh around the child's neck: "Since ancient times, kings have not ended well, right?" ”
didn't say yes, didn't say no, but he said it in an inexplicable tone, showing extreme disdain and contempt for this identity.
The child itched his neck, thought about it, shook his head, and retorted: "The bad queen doesn't." ”
She has not read many fairy tales, and the ones she is familiar with are the queen who did not end well, as for the king...... It's all a backdrop, or just living in people's memories.
The adult bowed his head and gently kissed the child's soft hair, and his chest let out a muffled laugh, which was amused by the child's leaping thinking.
"You're right, the bad queen doesn't." He said softly.
Although he was laughing, Yiyue felt that his mood was not very happy.
It's strange for adults to laugh when they're happy, and they can laugh when they're unhappy.
The real unhappiness is hidden in the stomach, and more displeasure is slowly born, and no one forces them to do so with a leather whip, so why do they all hide their true feelings?
Growing up is to wear a mask on your face one by one, hide your truest self, dare not be sad when you are sad, dare not suffer when you are in pain, and dare not even laugh out loud, is it so suffocated and aggrieved to live?
She tilted her head, thinking like this, and became unhappy.
"Girl, the sun is round, and the planet under your feet is also round, but people are separated, but it is difficult to meet again, do you know why?" He asked suddenly, his sandal-colored eyes dull.
Her heart sank.
The toddler shook his head, although he was not white, but he still thought carefully, grabbed the adult's finger and said, "Send a message to make an appointment, and you can meet." ”
Now that information technology is more developed, she doesn't have a light brain ring, and she also knows that Es has a local area network, no chat software but has its own chat room, and the contact is still convenient and fast.
It's her ID card, and she can also click on the friends page to send a message, although she only has one friend in four, and she hasn't had a chance to send a message to find someone.
"That's not right." He covered the child's eyes, felt his eyelashes gently sweep over his palms like down feathers, and chuckled, "Because some people are blind, and some people can no longer see the world." ”
He took his hand down again, giving her world time again: "So cherish the present, right?" ”
The adult's eyes flickered, like a translucent gem in the light, she looked at it and bent her eyes, whether he was right or not, and her little head was very happy.
Today's meal is stewed steak, I don't know what kind of meat it is, the stew is very bad, the fragrant heat goes straight to the nose, the taste is soft and tender, and the children eat very happily.
Even the flatbread that goes with it can be eaten happily with the soup.
The stomach is round when I eat, and I feel that I am trying to stuff it when I hold it up, and the burps are full of meat.
It's just that adults don't eat much, and they still watch the news, and the more they look at it, the worse their faces become, dark and dull like the bottom of a pot.
She also turned her head to look at the news, but she couldn't see why, as usual, she was reporting on the recent news of other Wenyin, watching the singing and dancing.
"Brother." She looked at him worriedly.
He looked down at her, wiped his face with his hand, and replied, "It's okay." "Speed up the movements of his hands to eat, the meat is no longer hot, and as he eats, his face darkens again.
The atmosphere was not very good, she didn't dare to pick him up, just gently held the corner of his clothes, and her small body was next to him, no matter what the adults met, she wanted to cheer him up.
When the fourth child carried her back to sleep, she had already returned to her usual state, but this embrace was a little tight, which made her twist her body and protest in a low voice.
He didn't adjust his position as usual, but hugged her tighter, and the child was a little uneasy, so he didn't move again.
"Brother angry?" She grabbed the adult's sleeve and looked at him closely.
When she looked up at him with her little head, the adult's uncertain eyes made her a little frightened, and she obediently shrank in his arms, lowered her head and played with her fingers, and didn't dare to look at him again.
"Angry? I didn't. The four men replied lightly, the last flicker in their eyes sank.
The child touched the big hand of the adult holding her, not delicate but very powerful, she gently asked: "The meat is delicious today, and you still eat it on a cloudy day, okay?" ”
He laid her on the bed, sighed, and squeezed a "yes" out of his throat. ”
There was no story told today, she knew that her brother was in a bad mood, and she didn't pester him, she obediently lay on the bed, and the adults didn't leave, coaxing her to sleep as before.
In the gentle rhythmic slapping and reassuring, she looked at him, his straight back standing up to the sky, holding her up a piece of the world.
Wrapped in steely muscles under the thin clothes, she looked at him with a sense of security, she nestled in the quilt to watch him, because she was very full at dinner, and her biological clock was very regular, she slowly became sleepy, but she fell asleep after a while.
It takes twenty-one days to develop a habit, and she has been raised by him for many twenty-one days, and she has long been accustomed to his presence.
It's just that this sleep is very unstable, and in the dream there is a hand stuck on her neck, a familiar touch, and she vaguely knows that it is her brother.
At first, she didn't care, she just felt itchy and shrunk her neck, but the slowly tightening force made her panic, a faint but like a real killing intent wrapped her, she struggled to wake up, but she couldn't wake up.
She whined aggrievedly, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, her originally tightened hand slowly loosened, and a long sigh was heard in the haze.
Emotions are transmitted faster than gossip, it may be that adults are in a bad mood and even have nightmares with her.
I didn't sleep well, I woke up dizzy, covered my forehead and looked next door, the original familiar figure was gone, empty.
Her brother is gone.
