Chapter Ninety-Nine: Does Your Promise Still Count?
All the words were buried in the heart.
Lu Yuwei carried the empty goblet, walked in a trance, and walked towards the staircase of the rooftop step by step.
But just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly stopped, seemed to understand something, raised his head, and looked up at the sky full of blood-colored stars.
That past time flashed quickly in Lu Yuwei's mind like a movie.
When he was in the third grade, the childish Lu Shaoyang said with a serious face that he wanted to marry her, at that time, they were just ignorant children, and that sentence may have been just a joke to others, but in Lu Yuwei's heart, a seed was planted.
"The end times are coming, what am I afraid of? Maybe one day the sky will be separated, so..."
After a moment's pause, he took a long breath, as if he had made up his mind, and turned his head abruptly.
"Lu Shaoyang, if you say you want to marry me in the third grade, it's okay..."
"Count."
Astonished! Sluggish!
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Shaoyang was already standing in front of him.
Lu Yuwei looked up blankly, thinking of countless answers in her heart, and she was ready for an embarrassing ending.
However, this answer alone has not been thought of, and I dare not think about it at all.
The two looked at each other, and the feeling of familiarity and strangeness made time seem to stand still at this moment.
Those past events, those youthful laughter and tears, those dreams and promises, all came to mind at this moment.
In fact, Lu Shaoyang's dependence on Lu Yuwei has long gone beyond the category of 'sister', and for her, it is more like a kind of spiritual sustenance, a reason to even live desperately for it.
At this moment, in the faint light of the roof, the faces of the two slowly approached together.
Lu Yuwei leaned lightly on Lu Shaoyang's chest, closed her eyes, like the petals of a flower, her ruddy and delicate lips opened slightly, and Lu Shaoyang also affectionately wrapped her arms and hugged Lu Yuwei into her arms.
Just as the lips of the two were about to touch, a Nuwa's voice suddenly came from the top of the stairs.
"I said, why are you all suddenly gone, what are you hiding here to look at?"
In the next second, I saw Nuwa holding a chicken leg, suddenly poked her head out, and looked at Lu Shaoyang and the others.
"Huh? You two, are you going to kiss each other? For some reason, Nuwa suddenly became excited.
"Hey! Let me tell you, the clay doll I pinched at the beginning was kissed like you two did, and then there were a lot of little clay dolls! You too..."
Before Nuwa finished speaking, Yan Miaomiao and Athena suddenly poked their heads out of the staircase and pulled Nuwa back.
"Brother Shaoyang, you go on! Go ahead! Excuse me! ”
"Hey! Don't pull me! I want to see them both kiss! ”
The sudden situation made the two of them let go of their hands at the same time in an instant, and turned their heads away with embarrassed faces, turning their backs to each other.
After hearing another chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the stairwell, Lu Shaoyang immediately walked to the staircase and looked down.
I saw that everyone hurriedly ran downstairs as if they had done something bad, but Yan Lei was still clinging to the wall, wanting to eavesdrop on something.
"Brother Yan Lei, everyone is gone, don't you want to leave!"
"I... I'll smoke a cigarette, smoke a cigarette and leave, you don't have a one! ”
Before Lu Shaoyang could continue to speak, Lu Yuwei blushed and ran downstairs with a happy smile.
After Yan Lei sent her down, he turned his head to look at Lu Shaoyang.
"Your daughter-in-law is gone, can I go up and smoke a cigarette with you?"
Lu Shaoyang smiled helplessly, took the cigarette handed by Yan Lei, and leaned on the guardrail.
"How long have you been eavesdropping here?"
"I didn't eavesdrop for long, I just came up."
"Do you think I believe it?"
After protecting the fire and lighting the cigarette, Yan Lei said with a smile.
"Talking about love, what is there to avoid, although you call Lu Yuwei sister, but you two are not related by blood."
"Besides, now the future of our entire human race is counting on you, even if you take three wives and four concubines, hundreds of thousands of harems, no one will talk about you, maybe you still rush to come, hahaha."
In the face of Yan Lei's quipping words, Lu Shaoyang just smiled, and did not continue to discuss the topic about him and Lu Yuwei, but slowly took a puff of cigarette and looked towards the sparse lights in the distance.
"Brother Yan Lei, do you also think that I am the savior of the entire human race?"
"It's not clear in the future, but now you are."
Yan Lei slowly turned around, also holding the guardrail with both arms, looking into the distance.
The city in front of him is dilapidated and has completely lost its former glory, but under the leadership of Lu Shaoyang, it has regained the most basic order and life security.
Not only the city, but the entire Xia Kingdom, and even the world, have regained their self-confidence and hope for life under the influence of Lu Shaoyang to a greater or lesser extent.
If this is not a savior, I am afraid that no one can be a savior.
Just after the two chatted for a while, Yan Lei suddenly pressed out the shimmering cigarette butt in his hand, and turned his head away with a serious face.
"Lu Shaoyang, ask you something, what did Mu Lao tell you that day?"
"Mu Lao? Why did you suddenly ask about him? Lu Shaoyang asked a little puzzled.
I thought that Yan Lei would say some good things for Mu Lao next, let him fight for the country and the whole of mankind, but what he didn't expect was that Yan Lei did not become his lobbyist, but reminded him very seriously.
"Be careful Mu Lao, I feel that something is not quite right with him."
"Something isn't quite right? What do you mean? ”
Lu Shaoyang never expected this answer.
Yan Lei then lit another cigarette and explained slowly.
"I've been following Elder Mu since I joined the Dawn Organization, and I think I know him very well."
"But since I have Yang Jian's heavenly eye, I feel that something is not quite right with him, there seems to be an inexplicable energy in his body, but he just can't see clearly."
"And after the end of the world comes, he will always disappear inexplicably for a period of time, as soon as we ask, he said that he is busy, and he will not say anything specific."
"Just after he saw you come out that day, the inexplicable power in his body became more intense, and he couldn't see it clearly."
"So I think it's better to be on your guard, no matter what he says to you."
Thinking of what Mu Lao said before, as well as the photos about "Black Myth" that no one knew, coupled with Yan Lei's hint at this time, Mu Lao suddenly became more mysterious.
