Chapter 106: Someday It's going to be pretty again
(I don't want to.) )
The rain finally stopped at night, but the ground was still wet, and Xu Shuo's figure was reflected on the road with the moonlight, and the surroundings were quiet.
(The matter hasn't been resolved yet, and I promised Liliam that I'd wait until the matter was settled.) )
"That, Xu Shuo, in fact, I've been thinking about it for a while." Angela said word by word slowly, as if cautiously, "Sure enough, it's better for you to leave as soon as possible." ”
(What's wrong again?) )
"How do you say that...... Xu Shuo, you've noticed it somewhat, right? There's only so much you can do, and it's just a drain if you stay like this, Lilion is going to marry Bron after all, and Wink Manor is either Herschel or Bron in charge, is there a difference? Angela said.
Xu Shuo scoffed at this.
(What, Lilien is the first choice for family succession, and she will rightfully be the head of the family.) )
"Perhaps, but don't forget, when you get married, Bron will also be one of the heads of the family. In this country, patriarchal thinking is very common, men only want to trade with men, even if Lilian becomes the head of the family, it will be difficult to run the family business well, and nine times out of ten she will be robbed of real power by Bron after pregnancy. Just like in the world you used to live in, women will always be at a disadvantage in the workplace. ”
(What are you talking about, a whole bunch of fallacies...... )
"And Lilian is a subhuman again, she was young and okay before, but now that she has begun to gradually awaken her bloodline, how long can she hide the fact that she is subhuman? Once her true identity is discovered, her situation will be in danger. To be the head of the house, she needs to show her face all day, is this really good for her? Think about it, Xu Shuo, it's not so simple to deal with Lilian's forces, there is a Lv6 guy who is known, even if you can find out who it is, but can you save Lilian? Maybe even you'll get in on it. So stop, you're doing your duty. ”
Xu Shuo was speechless for a while.
He couldn't deny that what Angina said made sense, in such a situation where the enemy was dark and the enemy was outmatched, even if he finally found out the mastermind behind the scenes as he wished, what could he do?
It's not that Xu Shuo hasn't thought about this, but he always deliberately ignores it, and whenever he sees Lilian's reassuring expression, he just wants to take one step at a time and try it out.
Now, let him leave like this......
(This kind of thing, how do you know if you don't try it?) I was born to know that I would die one day, but I didn't live desperately, and besides, you didn't say it yourself, and now there is another master on Lilian's side, although I don't know who it is, but the situation is more optimistic than before, isn't it? )
"It's hard to say, if this master is from Bron's side, and he is only helping Lilian now to ensure Bron's interests, isn't it more dangerous?" Angela proposes a new possibility.
(How is it possible, Bron was also recruited.) )
"How do you know he's not acting? It's not hard to pretend to be scared. Angela said.
(Why do you always think about the worst?) )
"This goddess is called planning for a rainy day, okay? It's not for your own good to say all that. Angela said.
"Hush." Xu Shuo pursed his lips and whispered, "You are for yourself......"
"Hey, I can hear you."
"Isn't it? Because if I get into a bad situation, you're going to be implicated too, right? Whether it's Herschel, Bron, or Chairman May, everyone is saying things that seem to be thinking about others, and making expressions of concern, but in the end, it's just for themselves......" Xu Shuo said.
"What, aren't you the same...... Angela seemed to be angry too, "you're just touching yourself by doing these things now!" Nothing will change, and Liliam won't be saved for all these stupid things you've done, don't be stupid! ”
"yes......"
It was no longer clear who he was talking to, Xu Shuo lowered his head and looked at his figure reflected in the water.
"What I'm doing now may really just be moving myself, trying to reap the transformation from the stupid behavior of the comic book protagonist, and by the way, leaving a little color in my idle life as a thought, maybe it's my greed. But I like who I am now, and it's the first time in my life that I've worked hard for someone like this, and I think it's a good feeling...... So, please let me go on. ”
"Xu Shuo......" Angela's voice sounded like she was about to speak.
"Please, don't persuade me anymore." Xu Shuo said.
"No, I was trying to remind you that someone has been standing behind you since just now." Angela said.
"Huh?!"
Xu Shuo turned around abruptly and saw the cat standing behind him holding a bare potted plant, looking at him with a shocked expression on his face with his mouth half open.
"Cats?" The corners of Xu Shuo's mouth twitched, "You, when did you come?" ”
The cat closed her mouth, raised her head and thought for a while, and said, "Hmm...... From the time you said you moved yourself? ”
“……”
In the middle of talking to Angela, he opened his mouth because he was too excited, and Xu Shuo regretted it a lot.
“…… Where are you going to move this potted plant, I'll help you get it. ”
"Oh, help me move to the dormitory door, thank you."
Xu Shuo pretended to have nothing to do with the potted plant in the cat's arms, and the latter also cooperated with him to give the potted plant.
The two walked side by side towards the dormitory, Xu Shuo held the potted plant and looked bad, stepping into the puddle from time to time, splashing and crackling.
The potted plant given to him by the cat was far heavier than it looked, and Xu Shuo's face was ugly halfway through, but for the sake of face, he still didn't say a word, and he didn't stop to rest, but his body gradually leaned back.
"I said, Xu Shuo." Cat Mao said.
"Huh?" Xu Shuo made a nasal voice, and he really didn't want to open his mouth to speak when he was holding a heavy object.
"Do you talk to yourself like that a lot?" Cat asked.
"Ugh!"
The unexpected shameful question caused Xu Shuo to lose his center of gravity and fall backwards, and at the last moment, the cat reached out behind him to support him, and he regained his balance.
"Hey, be careful." The cat patted Xu Shuo's back and said.
"Thank you." Xu Shuo sighed, "I can't say often, once in a while." ”
"Occasionally?" Cat asked.
"Occasionally, probably." Xu Shuo said.
"It's okay, I occasionally sneak food in my guest room." Cat Mao said.
“…… Not to mention that I already knew this, your "occasional" has nothing to do with my "occasional", right? Xu Shuo was embarrassed.
"Don't be serious, you can understand my gentleness."
"Yes, yes, I can't thank you enough."
When he returned to the Longbow Goddess House, Xu Shuo's two arms had become sore and numb.
"Just put it here." Cat Mao said, pointing to a clearing next to the doorway.
After Xu Shuo put down the potted plant, he shook his sore arm vigorously, feeling that he could already predict the weakness of his arm when he got up tomorrow morning.
"But what's the use of having a bonsai like this? The leaves are all gone. Xu Shuo looked at the potted plant in front of him and asked.
I don't know what it was planted in the pot, it looked like a small tree, but now there is only a bare trunk left.
"Not now, it's been made like this by the rainstorm, and the chief Mogg told me to take it and throw it away." The cat crouched down next to the potted plant, reaching out and gently caressing the unaesthetic trunk, "But as long as it is alive, it will become beautiful again one day, let it be here, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will shine on it." ”
Xu Shuo looked up at the sky, and half of the moon was obscured by clouds.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do tonight, go back to the shower and sleep!" The cat jumped up, stretched, and then turned sideways to look at Xu Shuo, "Do you want to be together?" ”
Xu Shuo shook his head.
"No, I'm going to be on duty for Anthony tonight."
"Anthony? When did the two of you get together? The cat tilted her head, "Forget it, then I'll go back alone." ”
"Bye-bye." Xu Shuo said.
"Bye-bye." The cat waved at Xu Shuo and was about to leave, then he remembered something and turned around and said, "Ah yes, be quiet when you come back, I want to go to bed early tonight." ”
"Roger."
