Chapter 109: Mieko's Confession
On the morning of the 28th, the helicopter roared down on the prairie of the Vis Manor in the western suburbs of Washington.
"Sir!"
Leus had just stepped out of the plane when a little girl in a white dress with long, flowing black hair pounced on him like a swallow.
"Claire, long time no see."
In the face of Yue'er's enthusiasm, Li Wusi smiled and hugged her, and then turned around a few times, looking at the others who came to greet him, and his heart felt warm.
These are the people he wants to protect, and for their happiness and peaceful life, Leus will stop at nothing to become stronger.
"Welcome back."
"John, long time no see."
Mieko stretched out her hand and shook it with Fireman, while Katie hugged her, after all, the two had been familiar with each other since the academy.
As the owner of the manor, Leus's demeanor now is completely different from that of a year ago, and he glanced at Tarys indifferently: "Tarys, please move the things in the plane to Simon." ā
"Now, let's go back to the manor, I know you must have a lot to ask me."
Leus, the children, and the two girls walked towards the castle.
"Sir, sir! Is it really you who has been on TV lately? "Nicholas, the Jewish boy, walked with excitement on his face.
"Yes." Leus will not deny it.
"Sir, the man...... Magneto, what happened to you? William couldn't help but be curious, he still remembered the majestic Magneto when he was on Alcatraz.
Speaking of which, Katie and the kids are concerned, as Magneto represents one of the strongest of their mutants.
"I defeated him, but in the end someone saved him." Leus sighed.
Millie looked back and saw that the butler Taris was carrying a strange cloth bag out of the plane, she turned to look at Leus and asked, "Sir, there have been advertisements on TV and on the street outside lately, can you tell me about these things?" We were all curious. ā
"Of course, the real yĆ n room is on the ground floor of the manor. This matter starts with last year......
Li Wusi briefly mentioned the process of the research and development of the machine, mainly talking about the trip to the United Kingdom and Japan, of course, he will not mention to the children how he controls other people's thoughts, after all, wonderful stories need to be polished.
"So, when it goes on sale at Christmas, we'll be able to make a lot of money, and then you'll be able to do whatever you want, just like the little princess and the prince."
Leus smiled dotingly and touched the children's heads, and they cheered when they heard it.
"Great! That way I can have chicken thighs every day! "This is a tendony little bald foodie Andrew.
"It's not productive, if you want me to say, I'm going to buy a lot of comics and figurines in the future!" Nicholas didn't know what he was thinking, and his saliva was pouring out.
"Sir, will you give me a lot of beautiful dolls?" This is the expectation of Millie, who is already beautiful like a doll.
"Of course." Leus knew that these children were usually studying hard.
But the last moon was silent, just lying in his arms and refusing to come down.
"I don't want anything, I just want to be with my husband all the time."
Jiang Yue's childish but unusually firm voice sounded in Li Wusi's mind, and she was communicating with him heart-to-heart.
"Good...... Promise you that Sir will never leave you. ā
Returning to the castle and sending the children to play on their own, Leus went up to the balcony of the castle.
The winter sun is warm, and the snow is still covered with some snow on the tips of the distant mountains, and a fresh pine breeze blows from the side of the mountain.
Leus lazily reclined on a rattan chair cushioned with soft cloth cushions, squinting his eyes and enjoying a rare moment of leisure and sunshine.
Soft footsteps sounded from behind him, and without opening his eyes and looking back, Leus knew who was coming.
"Katie, do whatever you want."
Leus said suddenly.
"How do you ......"
The brunette girl stopped, surprised.
"We're friends, so I don't tell you what's right or wrong, I'm just going to say, 'Do what you want to do, don't care what's right or wrong.'"
Leus took a deep breath, then sighed softly and inaudibly.
"Thank you......"
Katie was stunned for a moment, then turned away resolutely.
Just around the corner, she and Mieko passed by.
"She's going back to the academy, won't you persuade her?"
"This is my estate, my home, our home, not a prison."
Leus stood up from the wicker chair, stood in the sunlight, and turned to look at the half-race beauty hiding in the shadows, his gaze calm.
"Let's go together?"
"Okay."
The two of them left the castle and walked through the grasslands, breathing in the fresh air of nature.
Mieko occasionally secretly looked at the side face of Lius next to her, and secretly looked at his mature and hardened contour lines, and her heart swelled with hot and hot impulses.
"Not at all."
"Not like what?"
Leus looked back at her and saw her peeking gaze, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
"It's not like eighteen."
"Perhaps, but there is indeed a category of people for whom age does not mean anything."
Mieko turned her head away, her cheeks flushed slightly, and Lius also looked away, looking at the flower field not far away.
The two walked for a while, and before they knew it, they came to the river, and Mieko was so childlike that she took off her shoes and soaked her delicate little feet in the cold water.
"It's so comfortable."
"Are you going to try it?"
"No, thank you."
Li Wusi smiled and shook her head, and Mieko pouted like a little girl in a not very happy way: "It's only been a year, and now you're like my antique grandfather." ā
"The more things you experience, the more people will change." Leus sat on a huge, smooth pebble by the river, and chewed a core of dogtail picked by the road between his teeth, and the smell of grass immediately filled his teeth.
"Leus."
"What's wrong?"
The two sat quietly for a while, and Mieko suddenly called out the name of Lius, which was the full name.
"I want to ...... I like it...... You. ā
The voice came to the back, as thin as a mosquito, and Mieko lowered her head, and she saw that the river clearly reflected her red face.
The atmosphere became strange, and the air temperature seemed to rise, but Leus felt that it was almost noon, and the sun had risen to its highest.
"Mieko, I'...... Not for you. ā
After thinking about it for a long time, Leus could only open his mouth with such difficulty.
Mieko's body, especially her shoulders, had been trembling with nervous anticipation.
But at this moment, she was like a poor person who had fallen for the magic of Medusa's gaze, and her whole body was ...... froze, leaving only the tail finger of his right hand trembling slightly.
