Star Dome Railway: Hand-made strange objects forcibly marry Black Tower
Chapter 221 They hurt more than death
After waking up in the morning, Lu Huai made breakfast and was collecting clothes on the balcony on the second floor when he heard the sound of a car horn coming from downstairs.
Looking down at Wayros standing downstairs waving, Lu Huai was a little confused.
Didn't you tell him to leave only at noon? Why are you here now?
However, when Lu Huai watched Wayros open the passenger door in an extremely gentlemanly manner and help Mrs. Xion get out of the car.
Lu Huai only felt shocked.
Damn it! When did these two hook up?
"Why is it so noisy..."
There was an indistinct muttering sound behind him. Lu Huai turned around and saw Heita in pajamas standing dazedly behind him. Perhaps because he had just gotten up, his hair seemed a little messy and there was a trace of quilt on his face. Resentful for being woken up, there was still a pillow reluctantly in his arms.
"Wake up, grandma is here." He squatted down and shook Heita's shoulders. Seeing that he still didn't wake up, Lu Huai reached out and picked up Heita, turned and went downstairs.
"Be careful where you step, madam. This place is not like the suburbs. There are many strange things on the road."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Wayros, I didn't realize it before, you are such a gentleman."
Wayros supported Mrs. Xion and walked towards this side, while Lu Huai stood at the door holding Heita, watching the two of them silently.
"I'm really old. Not only did I not remember Mr. Wayros, but I still need your help with such a small matter. It's really troublesome."
"No, madam, it seems to me that you are still very young."
Hearing the conversation over there, Lu Huai couldn't help but tremble all over.
What a disgusting couple. Fortunately, they are not my parents, otherwise they would have been ruined...
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Heita in his arms sneezed in a daze, and Lu Huai realized that Heita was still wearing pajamas.
"Ouch! My little princess, be careful not to catch a cold."
As he spoke, Lu Huai nervously wrapped his coat around Heita.
At this moment, Mrs. Xion also came forward. She stretched out her hand happily and rubbed Heita's face in Lu Huai's arms.
"Little princess, do you miss grandma?"
"Well..." Heita tilted his head, still half asleep and half awake.
"Oh, how cold." Mrs. Xion withdrew her hand with a smile and said to Lu Huai, "It's too cold outside, please take the little princess back."
At the same time, Wayros also quickly took out the things Mrs. Xion bought.
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Wayros." Lu Huai thanked Wayros, "How did you meet grandma?"
"Oh, we met by chance, haha." Wayros seemed quite cheerful today.
"Want to stay for breakfast, Mr. Wayros?"
"Ah, no, no, let's forget it today. This is your time to reunite." Wayros knew very well, "But, Mrs. Xion, I wonder if I have a chance to invite you for a cup of afternoon tea next time I'm free?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xion covered her mouth and laughed: "Of course, Mr. Wayros, why not?"
After receiving a positive answer, Wayros drove away with satisfaction.
Back in the room, Mrs. Xion asked Lu Huai if he had eaten in the morning. Lu Huai said that he had just made porridge and was about to prepare some dishes.
"I'm here to help you. It's still early, so let the little princess sleep a little longer."
Looking at Heita lying on Lu Huai's shoulder unable to open her eyes, Mrs. Xion smiled and touched her head.
"She looks very clingy to you now?"
"This shows that I am qualified as a guardian." Lu Huai's expression was one of satisfaction.
"Okay, that's good." Mrs. Xion said with a smile, "Send her back to her room, and let's prepare breakfast."
After sending Heita back to the room, Lu Huai came to the kitchen. He originally wanted to learn more from Mrs. Xion to make up for his lack of menu.
"Grandma, how did you and Professor Wayros meet?"
Lu Huai was very curious. He obviously told Wayros that he would go in the afternoon, but why did he pick up Mrs. Xion in the morning?
"I encountered a small problem, and Mr. Wayros helped me solve it."
Mrs. Xion thought for a while and briefly told Lu Huai about Mayne.
Hearing this, Lu Huai's expression changed slightly.
"These guys are really annoying." Lu Huai muttered in a low voice, with a hint of chill in his voice.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I probably won't have any interactions with them in the future, thanks to Mr. Wayros."
"Oh, yes."
Thinking about it, it was lucky that Wayros happened to be passing by, otherwise he wouldn't know about it, which would be troublesome.
"By the way, why did Professor Wayros pass by so coincidentally?" Lu Huai asked.
Mrs. Xion glanced at Lu Huai, smiled a little mysteriously, then turned around and took out a crystal ball from the bag in the living room.
"He said Heita didn't prepare a gift for his last birthday, so he just happened to send you back this time. He wanted to buy one from the gift shop to make up for it."
The crystal ball in Mrs. Xion's hand seems to be filled with some kind of liquid, with purple petals suspended in it, rising and falling slowly with the movement.
"He said Heita liked platycodon, so he bought this, but in fact this is not platycodon at all, the petals inside are lilacs." Mrs. Xion said with a smile, "He doesn't know anything about flowers, they all look purple. ."
Lu Huai looked at the crystal ball and suddenly smiled after a moment.
"Grandma, did you know? Professor Wayros actually lives alone."
Mrs. Xion blinked and took a long time to react.
"Go, good boy, you have become bolder. Now you dare to make fun of grandma?"
"Where are you? I see grandma is always alone. Can't I find you a companion?"
At this point, Lu Huai suddenly became curious, "By the way, grandma, have you never been married?"
"Hmm, before I was 24, I originally thought about getting married."
Mrs. Xion said nonchalantly.
Before the age of 24?
"At that time, I was still studying in the Rhine Federation, and I did have someone I liked, but that was about that time."
"There was no result later? Didn't we contact you because you returned to China?" Lu Huai asked.
"No, because he participated in an anti-war demonstration and was one of its leaders. He was hanged in the Government Square by the radicals."
Mrs. Xion curled her lips and spoke in a calm tone, as if she was telling someone's story that had nothing to do with her.
Lu Huai was speechless for a moment and coughed lightly.
"Sorry, Grandma."
"There's nothing to be sorry for. It's been so long ago. It doesn't matter if we just talk about it."
Mrs. Xion smiled nonchalantly, and then talked while chopping vegetables.
"At that time, the Rhine Federation planned to launch a war against the Republic of Silesia in order to divert domestic conflicts."
"At that time, the anti-war faction and the pro-war faction were arguing fiercely, and the Purulecht University where he and I were not immune were not immune. The students stopped attending classes and gathered for debates every day just because of this matter. The result was that Then he started swinging chairs and sticks."
"Later on, when things developed, the war faction gained the upper hand and began to persecute anti-war personnel. Many people even fled abroad because of this. I also persuaded him at the time, saying that I was a nobleman and my family had a big business. You can go to Plantagenet with me, and I promise I won’t starve you to death.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xion couldn't help laughing, as if she was thinking about how she could say such a thing in the first place.
"However, he refused quickly. He believed that war must be evil and a destruction of other people's land and the dignity of his own motherland. He must do his best to stop it. Because of this, the two of us are best together. The time was probably in class when he didn’t skip class.”
"Then one night he suddenly came to me and left me a small bag as big as my palm. He told me to find an opportunity to return to China as soon as possible. I couldn't stay in the Rhineland any longer."
"I thought the document given to me was some kind of confidential document. I was so scared that I didn't dare to open it and read it. I bought a train ticket to the port the next day, and this train happened to pass through Government Square."
"By that time, he had been hanging in the square all night."
The chopping movements of her hands were a little slower. Mrs. Xion frowned and chuckled.
"I thought I had seen it wrong at the time, so I took another look. Now that I think about it...it would be better if I didn't take another look at it."
"At least I can still lie to myself that I was really wrong."
The cut vegetables were put on the plate. Mrs. Xion lit the fire and glanced at Lu Huai behind her: "Do you know what is in that cloth bag?"
Lu Huai shook his head silently.
"It's a whole bag of Platycodon flower seeds." Mrs. Xion smiled slightly, "When we first met, I helped him pick up the lost textbooks. That idiot was so anxious that he didn't even say thank you. I conveniently pulled a platycodon flower from the flower bed on the side of the road and pinned it on my chest, haha."
The past stories didn't sound interesting in any way, but Mrs. Xion kept smiling from beginning to end, as if the separation she had personally experienced was not that painful.
"So, do the platycodon flowers in the garden outside the room come from here?" Lu Huai asked.
"How is it possible? That room is from when. The seeds can't stay that long." Mrs. Xion shrugged, "The original seeds were planted at the back of the orphanage, but it was just a few years after taking over the orphanage. , because there was an accidental fire, and all the platycodon flowers were burned to death."
Lu Huai looked at Mrs. Xion. That old face was once a girl glowing with sunshine.
However, in a girl's most energetic age of more than 20 years.
I lost my loved ones, my family, and the last relics that still preserved some of my thoughts.
In just a few years, she lost almost everything she owned.
How did she survive it?
"Oh, but to be honest, I think about it now that I'm older. I couldn't do it at the time. I was so sad that I even thought about committing suicide by jumping into the sea on the way back to China."
"So I thought, if one of two people is destined to die young, it's better not to start a relationship, so as not to leave the remaining person feeling uncomfortable for the rest of his life."
Lu Huai was silent. He was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Then... what if two people who are already in a relationship are destined to die early?"
The movements of her hands stopped, Mrs. Xion turned to look at Lu Huai, and spoke seriously.
"Then don't think too much about it, just leave the so-called death behind."
"Abandonment, deception, betrayal, for love, these things are more hurtful than death."
The sonorous power in his tone seemed to have undoubted intensity.
It was like declaring that if she could go back to that day, to the day when she first met him, even if she knew that he would die for the justice in her eyes in the future.
She will still hold his hand tightly without hesitation.
Looking at Lu Huai, the serious look in Mrs. Xion's eyes quietly dissipated, and a smiling look reappeared.
"By the way, Xiao Lu, have you not been in love yet? Grandma, I have connections. She was also a noble before. I can introduce you to some ladies from famous families and chat with them. How about it?"
The topic changed so quickly that Lu Huai finally reacted. Just as he was about to speak, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the kitchen.
"Just him? Which girl from the family would like him?"
The sound of the black tower started again.
"Oh, the little princess is awake?" Mrs. Xion smiled, "Okay, I'll take care of it in the kitchen. You go and let Heita wash up."
Lu Huai responded, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Heita sitting on the sofa. After glancing at him, he turned his head away.
"Humph."
This is morning sickness and some other unknown stuffiness.
Sitting down next to Heita, Lu Huai remained silent without saying a word.
After a long time, he suddenly reached out his hand and hugged Heita's defenseless petite body tightly in his arms.
The sudden hug made Heita's mind go blank for a moment, and then he punched Lu Huai's chest with his fist in shame and annoyance: "You, what are you doing, you change..."
Before she finished speaking, Heita's body suddenly froze. In her ears, Lu Huai's breathing was slightly heavy and he murmured in a low voice.
I am sorry.
"What's wrong with you?" Heita's hand subconsciously grabbed Lu Huai's arm.
She thought he was a little weird.
But this is not surprising. The current Black Tower certainly doesn't know what Lu Huai is thinking.
Lu Huai just regretted what he had done, and went to die on his own in the fairy boat.
There may be a better solution, such as joining forces with the Xianzhou people to fight against the enemy. After all, Sui suddenly died, and only Lu Zhui was left at that time.
Thinking about it now, it was indeed stupid. He had never considered what the Black Tower would think if he did this because he had no time to think.
"What's wrong with you?" Heita asked again, her voice a little panicked.
"Don't apologize. I'm not that narrow-minded. I just forgive you for whatever you did wrong."
"No." Lu Huai raised his head and let go of Heita.
"Nothing at all."
Yes, nothing.
Lu Huai just made up his mind, no matter what happened this time.
He would never die meaninglessly again.
