Quadruple split

October 5, 2049 AD

Real time AM07:29

City B, Dexin District, Motan's apartment

"I'm coming."

Amidst the ringing of the doorbell, Mo Tan, who had just taken a shower, quickly put on a T-shirt and shorts, walked to the hall with wet hair, and opened the door after discovering through the peephole that the person outside was Yi Dong.

"Tan-chan——!"

Then Gu Xiaole's beautiful face poked out from the side, winking with a smile: "Want me to help you blow dry your hair, meow?"

Mo Tan turned sideways and let the two of them into the room, and said with a smile: "No need, Sister Xiaole, I'll just blow it by myself. You guys probably haven't eaten yet. Sit in the living room for a while. I'll go right away." Make some food in the kitchen."

Yidong yawned, lazily changed his slippers and walked into the living room as if he were returning to his own home. He said without looking back: "Leave it to you. I want to eat soy sauce omelette. If it's not troublesome, I'll fix it." For a bowl of scallion and oil noodles, add less scallions and less oil."

"Would you like to use less noodles?"

Mo Tan glanced at Yi Dong angrily and amusedly, and while leaning over to help Gu Xiaole get his slippers, he said casually: "If you have nothing to do, help me drag the balcony with a mop, and then put a basin of water on the wall. It’s been too dry these past two days. It’s a little bit humid outside and it’ll be more comfortable if you open the windows.”

"Tell me earlier next time..."

Yidong, who had just sat down, rolled his eyes, then stood up unsteadily, yawned and walked to the bathroom.

"Tan-chan, I want this! This is cute!"

Gu Xiaole pointed to a pair of velvet slippers with a rustic look in the corner of the shoe cabinet, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't sweat much no matter how hot the weather is, so I won't smell like them!"

Mo Tan smiled meekly, then took out the slippers favored by Sister Xiaole and placed them in front of the latter: "Okay."

"Hey, lend me a hand..."

Gu Xiaole curled up the corner of his mouth playfully. He was about to ask Mo Tan, who was squatting in front of the shoe rack, to stay still and help him, but he found that the latter had not completely stood up, and was slightly tilted to the side so that his left shoulder was at the highest position. It was a suitable position for him to press, and he was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Mo Tan turned his head curiously after a second and asked in a warm tone: "Sister Xiaole?"

"Ah, it's okay, thanks."

Gu Xiaole lowered his eyes, and obediently supported Mo Tan's shoulders to change into a pair of plush slippers that were not easy to wear while standing. Then he coughed lightly and teased: "Don't worry about Chen Chen getting jealous if you lend me your shoulders." ?”

At the same time, Yidong, who was carrying a mop and a basin, happened to come out of the bathroom. Hearing this, he immediately said angrily: "I am lending you support, not letting you sleep. Who would be jealous of this kind of helping hand? "

"I want you to take care of it!"

Gu Xiaole bared his teeth at his cousin and hummed: "On the other hand, a certain young master clearly kept his fingers clear of Yang Chun Shui when he was at home, and never even picked up the broom once. However, here at Tanjiang, he behaved like a good wife and loving mother. Yes, I can do housework more efficiently than anyone else."

Yidong glanced at her, then lazily turned towards the balcony and said without looking back: "We lived in the same room when we were in the orphanage, and we were used to taking turns cleaning."

"you……"

Gu Xiaole bit her silver teeth lightly, but in the end she didn't say a word, she just pouted angrily.

Obviously, although what he just said was just a joke, Yidong's answer sounded to Gu Xiaole as not just a joke, but as an unpleasant but indefensible alienation.

As the eldest daughter of the largest onmyoji family of this generation, Gu Xiaole, who had to practice the secret art of onmyoji since she was a child because of her fate to commit the crime of Sanshui Juexing, has never been an ordinary person. As Gu Yanyue's biological niece, she naturally knows that she is The truth about a cousin who was sent to an orphanage.

【Karma is hard to repay】

Perhaps in the eyes of others, leaving one's own son in an orphanage for several years for such a ridiculous reason is simply ridiculous, but Gu Xiaole knows very well that just like the convicted criminal Sanshui, he must leave after awakening. Only those who follow the path of Onmyoji have a chance to survive. They are destined to be unable to be ordinary people. In order to let their cousin spend his childhood safely, the aunt and uncle must go through this kind of relationship for both of them, no matter how reluctant they are to let go. It's a very cruel thing to do to resolve this karma and bring it down to a safe level.

As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Xiaole knew very well how terrible the catastrophe that happened in the motherland was, which was enough to push the entire world into extinction. Although the specific content had never been revealed by adults, even the one who loved her the most was My aunt also kept silent about this, but at least one thing is certain, that is, the Yinan couple who were in the motherland at the time played a very important role in the catastrophe.

Because of this, the karma accumulated in them is almost a hundred times that of ordinary 'deviants', and thousands of times that of ordinary people. As their child, Idong has carried an amazing amount of energy from the moment he was born. Desperate 'karma', if the [divine divination] among the marginal people, who is admired by countless abnormal people all over the world, had not divined a way to survive, no matter how strong the couple Yinan and Gu Yanyue were, they would never have been able to avoid the early death of their children. .

All in all, the Yinan couple, who unhesitatingly followed the guidance of the divination for the sake of their children, sent Idong to the orphanage. They did not take him home until the 'retribution' in the latter returned to a safe level.

It is true that from Gu Xiaole's perspective, there is no need to question Yinan and Gu Yanyue's feelings for their children, but for Yidong, the hurdle in his heart will never be easy. After all, until now, he has not been told that he was The truth about being sent away, even...even if he, as an ordinary person, knew it, he would never understand the necessity of this move. On the contrary, he would be even more chilled because of this 'feudal thought'.

So Yinan and his wife didn't say anything, nor did they plan to say it. Gu Xiaole naturally couldn't meddle in other people's business. No matter how sad he was, he couldn't even scold Yidong, because from the latter's perspective, things were so absurd. .

"cough."

As a result, at this moment, Mo Tan next to him suddenly coughed lightly, showed a reassuring, warm and calm smile to Gu Xiaole, who had a complicated expression, and said comfortingly: "Sister Xiaole, you are worried about Yi Dong's treatment of uncle and aunt. If he has a grudge... Believe me, he stopped blaming them a long time ago, and his behavior just now was just an excuse to deliberately stop you from teasing them."

Gu Xiaole pursed his lips, sighed in a rare way, and murmured in a low voice: "Even if this is the case, he shouldn't have made it so obvious, as if...sigh..."

"No matter what, we are all peers who can joke around and can afford to joke around."

Mo Tan smiled and said with a smile: "Even if he didn't think clearly when he was talking nonsense just now, at least in front of his uncle and aunt, he will no longer say these uncomfortable words."

"Tanjiang..."

Gu Xiaole put his hands behind his back, almost subconsciously trying to grab the other person's arms, and whispered: "You are that boy's best friend, so are you also very dissatisfied with what your aunt and uncle did back then?"

"From a personal perspective, I should thank them for allowing me to meet my best friends and for taking care of me over the years."

Mo Tan looked seriously at Gu Xiaole's bright and hesitant eyes, and said seriously: "From Yi Dong's perspective... I don't blame them 'now'."

"Now?"

Gu Xiaole blinked and asked, "So it wasn't in the past?"

"I think this is a good thing, Miss Xiaole."

Mo Tan did not answer the other party directly, but said gently: "Because this means that time can indeed change many things, and for close relatives who are connected by blood, as long as they care for each other, the passage of time will only change to a positive effect.”

Gu Xiaole was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "It sounds a bit idealistic."

"When it comes to comforting others, it's far better to be compassionate than to be rational."

Mo Tan shrugged and said in a brisk tone: "Especially when the other party actually understands the truth better than anyone else."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Onmyoji girl who had just finished sighing for her uncle and aunt sighed lightly for herself, shook her head and said, "But this is too much."

Mo Tan was slightly startled: "What's too much?"

"I've gone too far, okay?"

Gu Xiaole raised his hand and played Mo Tan so hard that he lost his mind. Then he walked into the living room and said leisurely, "Then I'll leave you with breakfast, Tan Jiang."

"Okay, let me blow dry my hair first."

Mo Tan smiled and quickly walked to the bathroom to get a hair dryer to dry his head briefly. Then he came to the kitchen and started simple yet delicate cooking with a skillful and fluent technique. He quickly finished three bowls of fried rice. Egg noodles with scallion oil and a small plate of fermented bean curd were brought to the table. He greeted the siblings in the living room and balcony: "It's time to eat."

"Coming!"

Gu Xiaole immediately put down his cell phone and trotted to sit down at the table. He clasped his hands together and said "いただきます" with a smile, and then started to eat. He didn't care whether his image would be affected by such a bold eating attitude. .

And facts have proved that as long as you look good, no matter how wild your face is, it will only make people feel pleasing to the eye and relaxed.

"If you think it's bland, you can add some soy sauce or scallion oil. If it's salty, there's still noodle soup in the pot to mix it in."

Mo Tan said something to Gu Xiaole, who was obviously very satisfied with his meal, and then sat across from him and ate his share, while Yi Dong walked out from the balcony two minutes later carrying a mop.

"Fuck, don't wait until I eat together."

After returning the mop to the bathroom and washing his hands, Yidong quickly ran to the table and picked up the noodle bowl. While slurping the noodles, he said vaguely: "Didn't I ask you to put less onions and oil? "

"It's good to eat some. Don't be picky."

Mo Tan glared at him, his attitude was completely different from what he had just said to Gu Xiaole.

"Kang Lan and Wan Yang just sent a message saying they would come around eight o'clock, and Xiaoyu will be with them."

Yi Dong was scrolling on his cell phone while using chopsticks to roll the noodles, and he kept talking: "Xiao Ge and Xiao Dao are going to be late. Looking at the pictures in the group, it seems that something happened in the kitchen, so I didn't dare to ask in detail."

Mo Tan frowned, then unlocked his phone and opened the group. He immediately saw a photo that Ji Xiaodao had posted two minutes ago. The content was of a kitchen filled with lavender haze and Ji Xiaoge who was opening the window for ventilation.

‘Be safe and don’t forget to turn on the range hood. ’

Mo Tan sighed, and then casually posted this message in the group.

Then--

Ji Xiaodao: It's okay.

The striving little pigeon: QAQ!

Uncle Kang: Mom, is there a gas bomb in the kitchen?

Dayang: You two, be careful not to smoke. Who knows if it will explode.

The motivated little pigeon: We don’t know how to smoke!

Ji Xiaodao: We can whip you.

Dayang: I was wrong, sister OTZ

Yu Chen: Mo Tan, you can set off as soon as you are all together. Nana and I are already on the way to the airport.

Private Cui Xiaoyu of the 7th Special Forces Team of the East Asia Division of the FFF Regiment: @Three good young men, Mo Tan, we will gather at your house in a moment. Are Sisters Yidong and Xiaole here?

Little clever young master: I just arrived. I am in Suomian and Mo Tan is cooking.

Little clever young master: Damn, who changed my name to @Three good young men, Mo Tan.

Yuchen: [suppressed laughter expression]

Dayang: [smiling expression]

Private Cui Xiaoyu of the 7th Special Forces Team of the East Asia Division of the FFF Regiment: [Suppressed laughter expression]

The motivated little pigeon: [beating the table and laughing emoticon]

Ji Xiaodao: [sarcastic expression]

Mo Tan, a good young man: It's not me.

Irritated Yidong eats noodles online: Who else could it be if it weren’t you? !

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: It’s me!

Uncle Kang: 6

Ocean: 6

The energetic little pigeon: 6

Jixiao Island: 6

Three Good Young Men Mo Tan: 6

Nangong·Liyingshang·Yingxueyuhanling·Aotian SAMA: 6

Nangong·Liyingshang·Yingxueyuhanling·Aotian SAMA:...

Yu Chen: (*▽*) Xiao Qian seems to have secretly changed Nana’s name.

Uncle Kang: Damn it, Brother Yu went to the toilet and his phone fell into the toilet!

…

"Let's eat our noodles first."

After seeing the word "toilet", Gu Xiaole decisively locked the screen of his phone, shook his chopsticks, and suggested, "Talk to them after you finish eating."

"agree."

Yi Dongyan nodded, and then put down the phone. After murmuring, he suddenly turned to Mo Tan and asked, "Have you been on the forum since you got up?"

"No, I simply cleaned up the house and went to take a shower."

Mo Tan shook his head and asked casually: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You said what's wrong? Of course it's a blow-up. Who would have thought that the individual competition would be like this in the end."

"I think it's okay."

"That's not good at all! Don't you think that Big Flower Morning Glory is a parallel import? In the end, Ya Da, a parallel import, won the championship! Won the championship! The first [Inquisition Contest] individual battle champion!"

"Even though Xiao Ge is defeated, he is still proud and not shabby."

"Yes, it's not shabby. Being killed instantly by a volcanic eruption is simply not too exciting! How could it be shabby! I'm just wondering why the big-flowered morning glory didn't die."

"There's nothing to wonder about."

"How to say?"

"The Dawn Pigeon is in the sky, and the Big Flower Morning Glory is on the ground. The magma falling from the sky after the volcanic eruption hits Xiao Ge first, and the winner of the competition is decided before the Big Flower Morning Glory is burned."

"Is this okay?!"

"Otherwise, how do you think Mu Xuejian lost to Xiaoge?"

"...6."
