readx; "Yes, yes, yes!" Xue Yi agreed repeatedly, and looked at Mu Xin with bright eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm worthless, let me go, okay?"
Mu Xin didn't answer, but reached for Xue Yi's thigh.
"You...... What are you doing! Xue Yi was taken aback by her.
"Look at the bone structure...... and muscle strength......" Mu Xin kneaded Xue Yi's thighs and slowly spoke. “…… It shouldn't be a mermaid, right? ”
"Hmm......" Being touched like this made Xue Yi feel numb in her scalp and uncomfortable all over her body.
Mu Xin, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and smiled gloomily.
“…… You're not a mermaid...... How long can you live underwater? ”
“!” Xue Yi, who understood the other party's intentions, widened her eyes and looked very frightened.
"Huh?" Mu Xin tilted his neck and raised an eyebrow at Xue Yi.
"I have an older brother!"
"What?"
"He must have something of that...... What a blood ......"
"Underworld blood?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Underworld Blood! Xue Yi nodded desperately and said in the affirmative.
"He must have it too!"
"Brother?" The middle-aged man clasped his hands and looked at Xue Yi with a slightly suspicious gaze.
"Hmmm! His name is An Xiaoyi, and he is my elder brother, studying art in Yunmeng University Town, and his family lives in Lao ......."
"Enough is enough!" Mu Xin raised his hand to stop it. "We all know his message."
"Huh? How so? ”
"You say he's your brother? I don't believe it. Mu Xin's eyes narrowed again, and his tone was full of suspicion.
"Huh? Why? ”
"According to our investigation all along, Hades only has one child, and it is a daughter, how can he suddenly have a son?" Mu Xin and the middle-aged man glanced at each other and continued.
"We sent someone to follow that 'An Xiaoyi', and the result is that he is simply an ordinary human being, and there is nothing special about him."
"And I still can't figure it out." Mu Xin bent down, and the faces of the two were extremely close.
"You are a daughter of Hades, why are you so clingy to him?"
"Uh...... Because...... Is he my brother? ”
"At the end of the day, it's just your words, what proof do you have? Can you prove that he is your brother, and that he has underworld blood? The middle-aged man, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“…… Twelve years...... "Xue Yi seemed to be muttering something to herself, her voice was so soft that she couldn't even hear Mu Xin who was stuck in front of her.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I went with my mother and looked for him for twelve years."
Xue Yi's voice gradually became clear, she raised her head with a smile, and in that crescent-like smile, there were tears flowing non-stop, and she still refused to fall.
“…… Is this reason enough to prove? ”
……
……
An Xiao also held his cheek and looked at the changing street scene outside the car window in a daze.
"You, what's wrong?" Kujo Rizuko asked in a low voice.
Xiao also seemed to be awakened and slightly stunned.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something." Shinoya turned his head in reply, an apologetic smile on his face.
"Are you thinking about my aunt?"
“…… Almost. ”
"Actually, I'm thinking about it too." Rikako lowered her head, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was confused about what was going on.
"Many of the things that grandpa said today are things I've never heard before."
“……”
"About the bombing of Tokyo and Hiroshima......" Rikazuko unconsciously clenched her hands, a hint of fear seemed to flash in her eyes. Actually, my grandfather talked about it when I was very young. ”
"You go on." Shino was ready to listen silently.
But he never mentioned his aunt...... It's better to say...... Grandpa deliberately avoided it. ”
“……?” Shinoya just glanced at Rikako suspiciously, and his eyes quickly lost focus and continued to ponder.
"So when I was a child, I didn't know I had an aunt who ran away from home."
Speaking of this, Rikazu paused, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
"I heard my dad say that my grandfather collapsed shortly after I was born, and since then he has been bedridden and has hardly ever left the house, and he is supervised by someone at all times......
And my grandfather's sister, who is also my aunt......
She has never met her grandfather over the years, not because I haven't met her, so I can't recognize her relationship, but because ......
No woman in my family has ever been older than my grandfather! ”
"So......" Riwako suddenly raised her head, looked firmly into Xiao Yi's eyes, and said very seriously.
"This is the weirdest thing for me!
Grandpa: How did he know that his aunt wanted to destroy the world? And how did you know everything about that plan? ”
After saying that, Riwako lowered her head again.
"I don't suspect that grandpa is lying to me......
It's a feeling that grandpa is still hiding something.
He may have deliberately omitted some important information for our sake! ”
“…… These things, when we reach our destination, may be able to understand. Shinoya replied. I'm not sure I'll be able to guess correctly, but I'll bet on it. ”
What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand it. Rikazu was a little surprised, she seemed to realize something, and immediately asked Shinoya to confirm her suspicions.
"We're not going to your classmate's house to find Gu Xueyi now...... Is that right? ”
"You're quick to respond." Shinoi smiled and continued to explain.
"We're heading to your aunt's house right now."
