Chapter 702, Warmth
This gathering at Xiao Yan's villa is just the beginning, for Xiao Yan, this kind of action is just a statement between friends, or rather, a thank you to those friends who have given him help and support at any cost. Of course, this kind of gratitude is completely disproportionate to the efforts of his friends, but at least his friends don't care.
It's just that this kind of action has a completely different meaning in the eyes of those big families, and Xiao Yan's behavior is more like he is making some kind of immature declaration, announcing that he is about to start building a family of his own.
Xiao Yan's establishment of a family by himself is a reality that all families in the Council of Elders can accept, and he will inevitably bring challenges to order, which is also a tacit thing for all families in the Council of Elders. Because of the resources he possesses, no matter which family he falls towards, he will not be accepted by the other families. On the other hand, when Xiao Yan's family grows to the point where it can challenge the order of the Council of Elders, there is still a long way to go, and during this time, any changes may cause the family to die halfway. As a being who "will" challenge the order, he can be accepted by the members of the Presbyterian Church.
However, the establishment of a family does not happen in a vacuum, and marriage and the exchange of rights are essential elements. No matter what Xiao Yan thought, when he brought so many Trialists and Awakened Ones like Quist back to his home, things had already begun to turn in a direction beyond his control.
And Liu Xinyao's sobriety made the families of the Presbyterian Church take a fancy to the value of marriage. The offspring after the marriage are likely to be "awakened", which gives the elders who are worried about the lack of family heirs to see the dawn of hope. In this case, marriage has become a necessary procedure for Xiao Yan. And not one of his options. And. Marriage alone is not enough. The children who can awaken are the most important thing. In other words, there can be no marriage constraints, but there must be children, the more the better.
No matter what the purpose of the elders of the Presbyterian Church was, the needs of their offspring were on the same path as Xiao Yan's mother. Xiao's mother hopes that her child will have offspring as soon as possible, although she also admits that her child is only 19 years old. This kind of thing seems a little too early for future generations. But how to say it, people who have been lonely for a long time are more eager for a warm family, like Xiao Yan, the desire for family affection and family can only be experienced by his mother.
Of course, what Xiao Yan was worried about had nothing to do with the expectations of the Council of Elders and his mother, and what he was more concerned about now was what happened to Tristina.
Before that, there was another Liu Xinyao who could be compared to Tristina, but with Liu Xinyao waking up. Even pulled the seal of the black dragon, and the awakening of the girl has become a fact. Now Xiao Yan's home. Tristina has become a minority. Especially once Xiao Yan's parents leave the imperial capital after the Spring Festival, then Tristina may be in the biggest predicament.
Although the female designer has repeatedly stated in private that she doesn't care about this, as long as Xiao Yan can be by her side, it is enough, even if Xiao Yan leaves, Tristina thinks that she has gained enough. However, Xiao Yan can still see the loneliness and sadness that Tristina inadvertently revealed, which is a feeling that Xiao Yan can't ignore.
Wishing for the better life of your loved ones is a universal idea. Compared to the secular shijie, the trialist's shijie is obviously one level higher. But whether the trialist's shijie is better or not, this is also a matter of benevolence and wisdom, the struggle between life and death is more sudden and acute in the trialist's shijie, a few minutes ago may still be a good haode person, a few minutes later may die of a trial shijie. This kind of thing, Xiao Yan can't guarantee that Tristina will take good care of her.
What's more, the trialist being taken care of and growing up is not only not a good thing for the trialist itself, but even more dangerous. None of the children of those big families were promoted to a high position through family care, even if it was an existence like Li Ruran, it was not the result of family care that he got so many golden points. If you don't grow a little bit in Shijie, the trial of the Shijie tree, the final outcome can be very bad.
This is where Xiao Yan is contradictory, if Tristina is allowed to awaken, whether there is such a way or not, it is only said that after awakening, Tristina will enter the dangerous trial alone and struggle desperately, which makes Xiao Yan feel a little uncomfortable.
The problem is that if she turns a blind eye to Tristina's situation, it may not be long before the female designer quietly leaves Xiao Yan's family and disappears. This is precisely what Xiao Yan cannot accept.
Sitting on his desk, Xiao Yan swayed his legs like a child, drinking beer and thinking about Tristina. Until there was a knock on the door, and Tristina walked in with a bottle of whiskey, and at her feet was the greedy Hannibal. Apparently, Hannibal had already smelled the sausage in Trystina's other paper packet, which the designer had just taken out of the microwave. She knew that Xiao Yan would most likely be busy at night for a while, and before that, Xiao Yan was often like this, so she came over quietly at this time and brought snacks for Xiao Yan.
Looking at Hannibal's anxious posture, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, did not jump off the table, but took the paper bag from Tristina's hand who walked over, took out a sausage and threw it out. Hannibal's stomach was obviously so hungry and thirsty that as soon as Xiao Yan threw out the sausage, the fat dog had already jumped up with an agile posture that was completely inconsistent with his body, and took the sausage in his mouth, almost biting Xiao Yan's fingers together.
"What are you thinking?"
Tristina skillfully pulled out the secret compartment from behind Xiao Yan's bookcase, and took out two wine glasses to signal to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan shook the beer bottle in his hand and signaled that he would not drink whiskey. In the end, the female designer only took out a square glass, put it on the table, and skillfully opened the bottle of Chivas Regal, while asking casually.
Xiao Yan shook the beer in his hand and whispered, "I'm thinking about you." ”
Tristina removed her chair, sat down, and asked, "What is the matter with me?" ”
Xiao Yan didn't answer directly, he was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "When I really woke up and retrieved my previous memories, I inadvertently covered up part of my memories. I didn't really think about my memories of the time I spent in Scotland after I lost my memory. It wasn't until I came back here and accidentally cleared my memories that I suddenly turned over the memories of that time. Well, you can understand that it is an escape, an escape from reality. ”
Tristina took a sip of whiskey, frowned, and said, "I need a little ice, this whiskey makes me feel uncomfortable." ”
Xiao Yan's fingers shone slightly, and then several ice cubes appeared in his fingers, and the small pieces fell into Tristina's whiskey, making a "fluttering" sound. Looking at the ice cubes, Tristina whispered, "You know, these ice cubes don't make me feel happy, they only make me feel more and more distant from you, so far away that I can't reach it." ”
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I also know this." So I'm thinking about this just now, whether or not to figure out a way for you to actually be one of us. ”
Tristina suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes were full of surprise, and asked, "Really?" ”
The Young Awoken nodded and said, "Of course, I've been thinking about this. Whether or not it can make you awaken is another matter, but whether it will awaken you or not needs to be seriously considered. You know, after awakening, you may face a more cruel shijie than you do now. Life and death are just a thought, and I can't help you in any way. I've never been sure if it's good for you to wake up. ”
Tristina smiled slightly, put her body down, tilted her head on Xiao Yan's lap, rubbed it, and whispered, "Before I didn't have you, I also survived alone." Because of you, there is a change, I don't want to lose you, that's all. If it really can make me awaken, then for me, it is really good news. ”
Xiao Yan subconsciously raised his hand and gently stroked Tristina's hair, then her cheeks, eyes, the bridge of her nose, and her lips. Then Tristina suddenly opened her mouth and bit Xiao Yan's finger. Instead of retracting his fingers, the young awakened let Tristina take it in her mouth and lick it like an ice cube. Eventually, the sucking turned into a licking kiss from Tristina as she traveled all the way, palms, and arms, until Tristina stood up and kissed Xiao Yan's lips.
"Give me a child, or let me wake up."
Tristina put her arms around Xiao Yan's neck and whispered, "Please at least give me a future that won't leave me alone." ”
Xiao Yan licked his lips lightly, there was a faint whiskey smell there, and before this smell completely dispersed in Xiao Yan's mouth, the young awakened man suddenly said, "What did I do before I woke up?" ”
Tristina let out a "ha", turned her head suddenly, and said, "Oh no, nothing was done, it's normal, it's very normal." ”
Xiao Yan laughed, took Tristina's hand, and whispered, "I still did something, didn't I?" I know, you know, but you never say it. Even in the current situation, you don't have to burden me with what has happened in the past, and if I don't remember it, how can I know your tenderness. ”
After a pause, Xiao Yan pulled Tristina closer, kissed the female designer's lips again, and whispered: "If I don't find the memories I once ignored, I can't explain it, weishenme I have that indescribable affection for you." ”
Tristina combed her hair and responded, "Oh no, God let you come to me, that's all. (To be continued......)
