After dinner, Carette freshened up and prepared to lie down and rest.

She had been under too much pressure for a long time, and now that her spirit had just been temporarily relaxed, the abnormal feeling of tiredness in her body followed. Therefore, she decided to go to bed early.

"Knock knock" ......

There was a knock at the door, and without waiting for Carette to ask, José's mother asked herself:

"It's me, Kareta, may I come in?"

"Aunt?" Karette was surprised, and got out of bed and replied, "Please, please come in." ”

José's mother elbowed open the door and walked into the bedroom, holding a tray between her hands, a celadon stew pot and a set of bowls.

Jose's mother placed the tray on the bedside table and quickly lifted the lid.

A fragrant smell wafted out and soon permeated the bedroom.

José's mother scooped a few times in the pot with a porcelain spoon and filled the bowl with more than half a bowl of soup and handed it to Carret.

"I see that you didn't eat much for dinner today, maybe you had an uncomfortable reaction during pregnancy, so I boiled some sour bamboo shoots and chicken soup for you. There was a little bit of time to lose, but it was just as delicious. Quick, you taste it. ”

“...... Auntie, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

Karete's expression froze, and she was extremely uneasy.

Jose's bedroom was separated from his study by a wall, and during the family meeting, the octave roar of Jose's father was clearly heard by Carette.

She knew she was a very unlikable character, where could she afford such a generous courtesy from Jose's mother now?

"Where are you talking? No trouble, no trouble. Chinese pay attention to fate, you can come to my house as a guest is to get married to our family! It's almost Spring Festival, stay and celebrate the festival together, my family can be a lot more lively!"

Jose's mother smiled genuinely as she spoke, and a glow of rejuvenating light appeared on her slightly old countenance.

Kareta looked at the smiling woman in front of her, and then lowered her head to look at the soup bowl in her hand.

Inside, the soup is as thick as curd, and the meat is mellow with a slight herbal scent, making it a very familiar taste.

Her son, the simple and kind man, had also cooked this delicious soup for himself!

The heart is full of scars, and the memories that have been cherished for a long time are evoked little by little.

There was a pantothenic acid in his eyes, and two teardrops rolled down and fell into the bowl, merging with the white soup.

"Auntie...... Sorry ......"

Carreta choked suddenly:

"I'm sorry...... I owe it to Jose...... It's that I can't live up to him......"

She is sincerely grateful to the kind mother and son who were able to stand up and take her in at her most difficult moment.

But when faced with José's mother's meticulous care, she would think of the past in Greece, so she was ashamed.

"Silly boy, who owes anyone to someone about feelings! don't think too much......

José's mother, apparently aware of Carret's concerns, smiled and comforted her:

"We're too old to understand what happens between you young people. But I believe in my own son, and I believe in José's choice. You are the person he values, and that is my child. No matter what you do in the future, I will treat you as my own daughter!"

“...... Thank you, thank you!"

Carette was so excited that she couldn't stop the tears that were falling.

Jose's mother saw that she was distressed, so she wiped her face, let out a long sigh of relief to relieve her emotions, and said:

"Silly boy, your body is important! Why do you think so much? Drink soup, drink it while it's hot......"

......

After Bai Xiu and Carreta were separated, he took the moon god Artemis to take refuge in an abandoned office building. It's located across the street from José's neighborhood, so it's not too far away, so they can easily communicate with each other.

In Beijing, the night of the ninth winter is the coldest, and the harsh climate makes it difficult for the two of them to sleep in thin clothes.

The wind roared through the holes in the ruined building and poured into the building, and it was so cold that it was blowing. The moon god endured the cold, his hands in his mouth, and all the breath he blew out was some cold breath.

A whirlwind swept out the lit campfire.

Artimis shuddered. In the darkness of the space, her frightened eyes shone brightly.

Ru Rou palms grabbed her waist, and Bai Xiu leaned closer to her.

"It's cold, isn't it?" he asked, his voice shivering in the cold wind.

Artemis was suddenly shy, and a strange feeling rushed straight up to the top of her head from the bottom of her heart, at this moment she not only felt cold, but her whole body was hot, and a slight sweat gradually broke out on her forehead.

"No! it's not cold, it's not cold at all!"

Artemis's voice was shaking slightly, but not because of the cold, but because he was too nervous and excited to breathe properly.

"Bai Xiu, how is your body? You must be cold, right!?"

Artimis would be more worried about Bai Xiu's situation at this moment, his source power attribute was heavenly thunder and fire, and he would be even more sad than her in such a bad season.

As she spoke, she took the initiative to put her body in his arms and used her meager body heat to help him ward off the cold.

"Don't worry, I'm fine...... I just feel so sorry for you to let you suffer with me. ”

Bai Xiu's tone was gentle.

The moon god Artimis was the twin sister of the sun god and was greatly doted on by Apollo since she was a child, so she never suffered the slightest pain in Olympus.

Now for Bai Xiu, she resolutely gave up her pampered life, not only became a defector from the Holy Mountain with him, but also accompanied him to sleep in the wilderness overnight, which made Bai Xiu feel uneasy about his conscience from time to time.

"It's really annoying, can you stop talking to me all the time! We've come out, there's no turning back, let's think about what to do in the future!"

Artemis leaned against Perseus's arm, muttering happily and contentedly.

Above his head, there was a feeble sigh from Bai Xiu.

"I don't know, to be honest, I've never been so confused and uneasy as I am now. I don't think we'll be able to last much longer, let alone expect Carreta to have a baby in peace. As long as Zeus finds out that Kareta on the other side of the holy mountain is fake, he will definitely find a few of us at the first time, at any cost, and he will not care about any bloodshed and sacrifice......"

"Ah, if that's what you said, what should we do for Karetta? I really didn't expect Zeus, as the leader of the all-gods and the father of our previous life, to want to destroy such a beautiful world...... I don't care what other gods think, I love the present world, I don't want any kingdom of God, and I don't want to go back to the gods of the past......"

“......”

The moon god's sad outpouring made Bai Xiu's heart heavier and heavier, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

As the wind waned, Bai Xiu stretched out two fingers and pointed forward, and re-lit the bonfire with a spell. The glowing light of the fire burst red to cool the silent space, bringing a trace of warmth to the god who was about to freeze.

Bai Xiu tilted his head and stared at the black silhouette on a ruined wall for a long time. Under the reflection of the beating firelight, the delicate silhouette also danced, looking at it, Bai Xiu's heart suddenly gave birth to an inexplicable touch.

He couldn't remember exactly when such a lovely girl had lived in his heart.

In the past, he always thought that the core that could occupy the core of his entire emotional world was only Kareta from beginning to end. However, looking at the graceful figure of Artemis in the firelight, Bai Xiu suddenly realized that this figure had been too close and too close to him, so close that it had already resided in his heart.

It's time to turn the small love that was left in the top of your heart into a big love...... The vacant space should only be reserved for the beautiful shadow in front of you......

"Artimis ......"

"Huh?"

The moon god was stunned in response, and immediately removed the head that was pillowed on Bai Xiu's arm.

By the flickering light of the fire, she looked at Bai Xiu's handsome face in surprise.

He's ...... For the first time, she was called by her first name.

"If you and I are alive after that unknown catastrophe, let's be together! I will be like a man, and I will regard you as the only love in my life!"

“...... Okay, okay! I promise you!"

The moon god was stunned for a long time before coming over, and it turned out that Bai Xian was confessing to himself. She suddenly became frightened and sweet, her face flushed with a deep flush, and she kept nodding in response:

"Bai Xiu, I promised to live well, you have to live, we all have to live-"

On a full moon night, the holy mountain of Olympus is surprisingly silent. However, in this silent atmosphere, the sensitive gods always feel uneasy, as if there is an invisible strange power in this sacred territory, like a trapped beast.

The palace of Hera, the goddess of blessings, had already been closed, and several sturdy and cold steel locks were hanging proudly from the deadbolts of the patterned door, mercilessly turning away those who came to the door.

Inside the temple, a hidden inner chamber was now covered with mist.

Wisps of vermilion smoke were rising from a lit incense burner on the floor, and an unusually sweet aroma permeated the entire inner room.

On the semi-circular velvet carpet in the center of the inner room, Hera, the goddess of blessings, was drunk and half-collapsed, holding a copper broad-bellied round dome in her arms. There were all kinds of wine glasses and jugs poured beside her, and the wine was scattered and spilled all over the place.

After losing Alice, the goddess of disputes, Hera finally stopped being obsessed with clothes and accessories, and divided most of her energy with alcohol and the copper tripod in her arms. All day long, she could drink and talk to the weird copper tripod.

Now she has a pale complexion, an awl face that looks more sharp and shriveled, and thick dark circles hanging around her two deep-set eye sockets, looking old and funny. The demeanor of the queen is long gone.

Alice ...... My good daughter......"

Hera called out of thin air drunkenly, and her two palms touched the copper tripod in her arms a few times with great care.

Strange to say, as soon as Hera's voice fell, a strong "chirp" sound was immediately heard from the copper tripod in her arms, as if something was hidden inside, and she responded when she sensed Hera's loving movements.

In the quiet of the night, the sound sounded mysterious and special, more like there were countless sharp claws hidden in the copper tripod, desperately scratching the inner wall of the copper tripod to make a sound.

Hera heard the sound clearly, and she looked down at the copper tripod, and her smile became distorted:

"Oh...... Alice, my little darling, you heard your mother's call, didn't you......?

"Buckle, buckle, buckle" ......

There was a slow knock on the door inside and outside.

"Who?!"

Hera shuddered her upper body and asked in a loud voice as she looked inside and outside.
