22 How to grow old together
Youguo didn't accept the other party's invitation after all, perhaps taking into account the other party's self-esteem, Youguo took him to a no-man's land first, and then parted ways with the confessed party after softly saying no.
When he walked out of there, Yugo raised his eyes and saw Kurolo standing next to the tree, his gaze resting on his fingertips, his preoccupied appearance.
Approaching Kurolo, Youguo followed his gaze to his hand, a small ant on its slender and calloused hand, stumbling around Kulolo's fingers in search of directions.
"You like ants?" Youguo has nothing to say.
Kurolo actually pondered for a moment, and then replied seriously: "It's okay, but whether it's an ant or a human, it's the same for me. β
This kind of words sounded a little strange, Youguo was stunned, and then said with some joy, "Do you want to say that all lives are equal?" β
Kurolo tilted his head and smiled, "That's right. β
Anyway, whether it is an ant or a human, it is just a life that can be easily crushed to deathβis this another sense of equality of life? He thought a little nonchalantly.
Putting the dazed ant back into the trunk, Kurolo looked back at Youguo and asked, "How's it going?" β
Youguo said, "I have refused. β
"Oh." Kurolo smiled and nodded, then asked, "Why refuse?" Don't you don't have a dance partner yet? β
Youguo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kurolo to say this, and raised his head to look at Kurolo who was smiling at him, his brain was in chaos.
Youguo opened his mouth to ask, don't you want to invite me? However, he found that he did not seem to have any reason to say this, for he and Culolo did not seem to have any special relationship other than the drunken accident.
So after being stunned, the expression on Youguo's face was visibly depressed and lost, and he stood beside Kurolo with his head hanging and drooping his eyes, like a puppy in the water.
"What about you?" Youguo suddenly asked, "Kurolo, do you have a dance partner?" β
Kurolo smiled and didn't say yes or no: "What do you think?" β
The ambiguous answer made Yuguo's heart beat faster, and he wanted to touch his chest, but resisted the urge. Youguo hoped that the answer was no, and feared that there would be an answer, so he lowered his head a little, as if a stone was weighing heavily on his neck.
"I don't know." Youguo said in a hoarse voice, "...... But I hope not. β
But why didn't there be hope, he didn't say, just waited for the invitation with anticipation.
As soon as Kurolo said it, he immediately nodded.
Holding up Youguo's face with one hand, Kurolo's deep dark eyes carefully looked at Youguo's water-colored eyes in his palm.
The beautiful little prince who came out of a fairy tale was obediently looked at him with his cheeks on his lips at this time, but a pair of eyes were slightly red, and the water color rippled in the eye sockets, and those eyes seemed to be able to plop and roll down tears with a slight blink.
Kurolo thought to himself, it turns out that there are humans in this world who are more fragile than ants.
Kurolo, who had always been gentle and even indulgent about what he liked, sighed without a trace, and then said, "No dance partner." β
Youguo blinked, looked at Kurolo with wet eyes, and whispered, "Really? β
"Really."
The answer pleased the young master, he bent his eyes and smiled happily, Kurolo let go of the hand that was holding Youguo's chin, lowered his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" β
Youguo, who wiped away her tears, lowered her head and thought, Of course there is, when will you invite me to the ball?
The system said helplessly: "You can obviously ask yourself......
Youguo snorted coldly: "Do you want me to say it first?" No way! I don't want to take the initiative to be the big boss! β
"Nope." Youguo's voice was still a little hoarse.
He looked up, and the two of them looked at each other, and Youguo stared at Kurolo fixedly, the anticipation on his face obvious.
Finding himself seemingly unable to wait for Youguo's invitation to speak, Kurolo ......
Kurolo, who had been silent for a while, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and finally asked, "Youguo, would you like to be my dance partner?" β
Youguo nodded slightly, "I do." β
βYesοΌβ Youguo shook his fist in his heart, and said triumphantly to the system: "System! See? Learn something! β
The system is silent: to be honest, I don't want to learn......
decided on the school celebration ball, Youguo and Kurolo had lunch together, and on the way, many people plucked up the courage to ask if the two had a dance partner, but this time Kurolo and Youguo refused the invitation at the same time, and the reason was the same: "I have a dance partner." β
The frustration and speculation of others were not within the scope of the two of them, and after lunch, the two walked along the path to the dormitory, and the dormitory of Kurolo and Youguo was not in the same place, so when they reached the fork, the two stopped again.
Looking at Youguo meaningfully, Kurolok smiled relentlessly, "I'll see you at the school ball." β
Youguo got cheerful: "Meet you at the school celebration dance!" β
Youguo, who returned to the dormitory, threw away his schoolbag and sat on the seat and turned over the computer again, he searched for a bunch of things on the Internet, and then placed a bunch of orders without blinking, and the date of receipt was the day before the school celebration ball.
The system saw the order placed by Youguo and wondered, "What are you buying these things for?" β
Youguo giggled twice, "That's the school celebration ball!" Shall I not prepare a surprise gift for my dear Kurolo? β
There is a system that is not very good :......
*
More than 200 years have passed since the establishment of Roskinner's school, and this school celebration ball is also particularly important.
Youguo chose a cool time to leave the school to pick up the suit, the location of the suit shop is near the original Lowstein auction of Youguo, and when he finished picking up the suit and adjusting the specific details of the clothes, the time was unconsciously for dinner.
Roskina is located in the center of the city, and the streets are lined with the sound of cart vendors and food sellers, and the corners seem to be filled with the aroma of food.
Pressing his stomach, Youguo clearly heard the sound of his stomach rumbling, and he was about to think about where he would go to eat, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the street.
"Your little money is not enough to pay the bills, do you want to eat the overlord meal!" The shopkeeper brandished a kitchen knife and yelled at the man standing in front of the store, "You're a bum!" β
The man who was yelled at by the shopkeeper was wearing a dirty cloak, and the original white background of the cloak could be faintly seen, and the turban wrapped around his head had been torn in some places, and a tuft of spiky hair emerged from the hole, and under the messy hair was a pair of amber eyes, clear and bright, but with a sharpness like a beast.
The man's outfit is no different from that of a homeless man on the street, and it is no wonder that the shopkeeper thinks he is a street wanderer.
Youguo quietly watched the situation over there, and didn't speak for a while.
Grabbing his hair, the man's expression was helpless, he had eaten a lot here, the plates on the table were as high as a hill, and the only money on his body was not even enough to pay, and the shopkeeper's kitchen knife danced in front of him, "Give the money quickly!" You can't leave without giving me the rest of the money! β
The man said with a distressed expression: "I have money, I am telling the truth." It's just that he just came out of the mountain, and everything on his body was eaten by demonic beasts. β
The shopkeeper was about to be laughed at angrily, "What kind of monster in what mountain?" Do you think you'll survive the encounter with Warcraft? We don't have any monsters here! Don't you want to make a good draft? β
The man waved his hand desperately: "I didn't lie!" I can prove it! I'm a hunter! Hunters with a hunter's license! β
The shopkeeper wielding a kitchen knife suddenly stopped and said suspiciously: "Really? β
There are indeed many hunters who are strange, and the shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and his attitude improved slightly: "Then you let me see the hunter's license." β
The man immediately flipped through his pockets, and the store manager waited with his legs shaking impatiently.
A minute passed, and the man pulled a bone out of his pocket.
Manager: ...... His face darkened
Two minutes passed, and the man pulled out a crumpled towel from his body.
Manager: ...... The face turned from black to red and purple.
Three minutes passed, and the man pulled out a card from the corner.
"My Hunter's License!" The man shouted in surprise, then quickly lowered his head: "Ah, I read it wrong. β
That's just a regular card.
The store manager couldn't bear it anymore: "Liar!! Give money!! β
The man touched his hedgehog-like hair and said helplessly: "My hunter's license seems to have lent my disciple......
The store manager tugged at the man's collar and angrily: "Pay quickly!! β
"I'll pay for him."
The black card sandwiched between his fingers was handed to the store manager, and Youguo smiled slightly, "Is it okay to swipe the card?" β
Someone was willing to pay for the food for the man who was like a homeless man, and of course the store manager happily took it, and hurriedly replied: "Of course you can, of course, sir, you can sit!" β
The system said with a look of incredulity: "Why are you willing to pay for him??? β
Youguo smiled: "Of course it's a good deed." β
The system database almost went wrong, and it asked in a trembling voice, "Su, host, do you have a fever?" β
Youguo continued to smile: "If you say it again, I'll burn you." β
The system continues to doubt life: "Impossible...... You're not that kind of person......"
Youguo: "......"
The system muttered, "This can't be...... It's magical...... Incredible......"
Youguo: "......"
Youguo said speechlessly: "It's okay, it's actually because he's handsome, right?" β
Even if he looks like a vagabond, the vitality of a man who is about to come out of his body cannot be found in a wanderer, even if he is gray-headed and dusty, but under the embarrassed appearance is a strong body and an angular face that is tempered like steel tempered by fire.
Although the beard is scruffy and looks sloppy, Youguo still recognizes handsome guys with his sharp eyes.
System:...... That's normal.
The "homeless man" looked at Youguo, he touched his hair, and said with some embarrassment: "Thank you, when my disciple finds me, I will ask him to pay you back." β
"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Youguo. Yogo Tours. Youguo smiled lightly and said reservedly: "You don't have to pay it back, it's just a small amount of money." β
"What about you? What is your name? β
The man showed a mouthful of big white teeth and smiled brightly: "My name is Kim, Kim Fulix." β
System:...... Depend on.
The system suddenly fell silent again, wondering if it should ask Youguo to help buy a lottery ticket.
The system asked, "Why is he here......"
Youguo keenly sensed that the system had a very different focus on Kim Fulix, who was like a wanderer in front of him.
"What do you mean?" Youguo asked, "Do you know who he is?" β
The system's tone was complicated and simple to explain the identity of Kim Fulix, Youguo nodded thoughtfully, whistled in his heart, and boasted without modesty: "It seems that I have a great eye!" β
System:...... I don't really want to boast, but it seems to be true......
