Chapter 108: Really Alive
"I envy her optimism that she can face calmly no matter what the circumstances."
In fact, before Rita appeared, Xiao Yueluo had always been confused, although she had the clear purpose of "living", but she didn't know why she lived. Unfamiliar identities, people and affairs that have never been in contact with them, and a dangerous living environment. Every day, every day, I tense my nerves, just to live longer.
However, this is the way she is, but she found her own direction after Rita, and she will not forget that feeling: because she is protected, she can experience such feelings more; Because there are people who want to protect, they can make efforts for it...... It is precisely because of this that she can strengthen her determination to live, because only in this way can she better do what she wants to do and protect the people she wants to protect......
"Lord Marquis, ...... today"
The light of the setting sun poured into the room, and Dick stood by the window, looking at the two backs that were gradually moving away, but he was directly interrupted before he could finish his words: "Needless to say, I know what I'm doing, but I didn't expect such a person to appear, and now it seems that I may have to leave early......"
"Lord Marquis...... Dick Carey will always be by your side. ”
"Thank you, Dick." Fan Si hooked his lips and smiled, then turned his head to look at the man beside him, who was holding his right hand into a fist against his chest, "Although this is something I once promised, I think I can do better with you by my side......"
Rita didn't know about the interaction between Vance and Dick, and she was walking down the street with Xiao Yueluo in every possible way.
"I said, "Wang...... No, it's Stephanie, why do you think it's weird......" Rita rubbed her hair a little frantically, then turned her head to stare at Xiao Yueluo for a while.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yueluo tilted her head, a little puzzled.
"How about I call you Fen?"
"Fin?"
"Yes, it's Fen, it's a nickname that only exists between friends!" Rita shook her finger at Xiao Yueluo, but Xiao Yueluo was in a trance for a moment because of the girl's smile, she seemed to have seen the same scene at some point......
"I always feel a little strange to keep calling Xiao Yueluo, how about you say I call you Xiao?"
"Xiao?"
"Yes, that's Xiao, this is a nickname that can only exist between friends!"
The appearance of the person in front of her can't be seen clearly, Xiao Yueluo can only judge by her voice that she is a girl, very gentle, very good-sounding, and full of vitality at the same time......
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Dawn! ”
Dawn?
Who is Xiao?
Who am I?
I...... What's going on?
The dizziness in my head, a chill permeated my body, and the sound that kept echoing in my ears, from near to far, finally fell silent......
Darkness, like the bottomless depths of the sea, is constantly falling into it; The viscous liquid enveloped her body, making her breathe as heavy as she could......
"How? How's Fen? ”
"Fen refers to ......" The doctor was slightly stunned when he looked at the person who suddenly rushed in front of him, but quickly reacted, "Oh, it means the princess." ”
"The words of the princess are just a little feverish, and the rest is not a big deal." The doctor stroked his gray beard and looked at Rita with a look of appreciation, "Girl, speaking of which...... I think you must have studied medicine, right? ”
"I've learned from people before, but in the end, for some reason, I just knew some herbs."
"Oh? That's right...... Well, you come with me for a while. With that, the doctor walked straight to the door, but before he could take two steps, he stopped again, "What's wrong?" ”
The doctor turned his head to look at Rita, who had not moved for a long time, a little puzzled, and when his eyes fell on Xiao Yueluo along the girl's gaze, he realized in an instant: "You don't have to worry, the princess just needs to sleep for a while, and she can recover after waking up tomorrow morning and taking medicine." ”
"I see."
……
"Girl, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
Under the night sky, an old man stood in the courtyard, and behind him was a young girl with a puzzled face.
"What do you think of the princess?"
"Fin? She's nice and most importantly...... She resembles a sister of mine who is deceased......"
"Deceased Sisters...... I guess you're a good girl......"
"Yes, she's always been a nice, nice person......" Rita's memories went back in time again, and the bits and pieces of the past, like old-fashioned videotapes, kept playing back in her head, along with her narration......
"She's done a lot for you."
"yes...... She has been revolving around me all her life, and if there is really a reincarnation in this world, I hope she can be an ordinary person and live in peace. Rita said, turning her head to look at the only window that didn't have light, "Of course, if she's still extraordinary, then I'll find her wherever and in what capacity she appears, and this time not as a protected person, nor as a protector, but ...... Stay by her side as a partner......"
"Partner...... It's good, but I didn't expect you to be the princess of the Duchy of Evel, which was disrespectful to me before. ”
"No, and you don't have to, sir." Seeing that the doctor was about to apologize to herself, Rita immediately waved her hand and helped her up, but then her voice was a little sad, "After all, I am no longer the same person I used to be, and the identity of a princess is just a title for me." "A term that has long since become obsolete......
"Hey! Girl, have you thought about it? Do you want to study medicine with me? The cold words made the atmosphere wafting in the air completely dissipate, and the doctor looked at Rita with seriousness written on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm glad you had this idea, but I'm not fit for these things anymore." Because of this year's experience, Rita realized that her heart could no longer settle down, and the restlessness in her chest could not adapt to the calm she had when she was studying medicine.
"Yes...... the doctor nodded, although he had known that this would be the result, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was still a little disappointed, but ......
"But if you have the idea of studying medicine at any time, you can come to me at any time, after all, there is a smart student who is quite lucky for this old guy who is about to enter the earth."
"Then I'll thank the old gentleman here."
"Hahaha, you're an interesting girl, let's do this today, when you want to learn, come to the medicine room to find me, of course, even if you don't want to learn, you can come and take a look, just chat with me."
"Definitely."
The evening breeze blew off a few green leaves, and Rita looked at the old doctor who had left with her hands in her hands, and reached out to comb the ends of her somewhat messy hair. She knew that the doctor still had unfinished words, and after thinking about it a little, she knew that it was related to Stephanie, but she didn't want other people to have other factors in what she was doing, so she said the previous paragraph.
Although when I first saw Stephanie, I just thought that her eyes were very similar to Xiao Yueluo, but after getting along later, she gradually coincided with the figure in her memory.
Let's try to do something, right?
The thought that flashed at the beginning had been completely replaced by the idea of "protect her well", although she also knew that she could not stay in this place forever, but at least ...... At least as much as she can while she's still here......
"Miss Rita, just leave these things to me, or you can call someone to do it." In the early morning room, as soon as Mengdie woke up, she saw Rita's busy figure, especially the aggravated blue-black in the eye sockets was particularly dazzling.
"I'll do it anyway."
"But...... You haven't had a night's rest, have you? Unconsciously, Mengdie also used an honorific title for Xiao Yueluo, of course, this is not because of estrangement, but a kind of respect for the person in front of her.
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't sleep for a night or two, let alone ...... Seeing her like this, I can't sleep for a while. Rita pursed her lips and looked at the person on the bed, and it wasn't until last night that she suddenly confirmed the fact that the person was really alive, although the way was a little unreal, but compared to her own experience, it was nothing......
"Miss Rita, the princess is awake!"
Dream Butterfly's exclamation instantly pulled the drifting mind back, and then Rita looked up and noticed the eyes that were still a little dazed.
"I'm ......" Looking at the person who suddenly rushed to her side, Xiao Yueluo struggled to get up.
"You passed out on the way back last night, don't you remember?" Rita asked tentatively as she helped Xiao Yueluo sit up, and at the same time stuffed a pillow behind Xiao Yueluo.
"I passed out?" Xiao Yueluo was still a little dazed, and she always felt that Rita's attitude had become a little different, and she couldn't say what was different, but she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something.
"Yes, the old doctor in the medicine room said that you have a fever, and you have been too tired recently, so you passed out." Rita nodded, then leaned sideways and took the white porridge from Mengdie's hand, "As for now...... You don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, you have a good rest, and you will talk about anything until you are completely well. ”
"But...... Rita, you haven't had a good rest in a while, haven't you? Xiao Yueluo looked at the girl who kept stirring the porridge with a spoon with her head down, and her smiling face couldn't hide her tiredness.
