modern greek mythology

After a long while, I slowly opened my mouth: "I can't do the task you entrusted to me, and he doesn't love anyone but you..."

This time, Hermes pretended not to hear, and smoked a cigarette.

"Why don't you love him anymore? You have loved each other so much before, how can you stop loving him if you don't love him!" Cupid asked Hermes loudly, "What are the common memories between you? Do you remember that you were How did you meet? Do you remember how he pursued you? Do you remember the happiest thing when you were together? Did he ever stay in your heart... Have you felt nothing for so many years? ?”

What Cupid yelled was not only his question, but also the words that Apollo had kept in his heart all along.

Right now, he was standing behind the door of the balcony, anxiously waiting for Hermes' answer.

Hermes glanced at Cupid indifferently: "Then what do you want me to do? Abandon Hades and reunite with him? Or have an affair with him without telling Hades?"

Cupid was dumb for a while, then asked again: "Why did you choose Hades in the end?"

Hermes threw away the finished cigarette in his hand, stepped on the fire point on it, and cast his gaze into the distance: "Actually, what you said... I remember it all. I gave it all to him, how could I forget it? I remember every detail of our relationship, the first gift he gave me, the vow he made when he went to the underworld to save me, and the first time we hugged each other closely Together... At that time, I was really stupid and naive, thinking that we could continue to love like this, if he hadn't rebelled against Zeus, I wouldn't have known that the gap between us was so big..."

When Hermes said this, he took a deep breath and felt lost: "When he stared at the throne of Zeus, I, the person next to the pillow, didn't notice it at all, and he didn't think about Zeus's treatment of me. What does it mean to say, we are going farther and farther on our respective roads... The funny thing is that every time I am sad, restless and lost, the person who silently accompany me by my side is the person I was most afraid of and most afraid of at the very beginning. An annoying person. He doesn’t talk much, but he always gives me strength and peace of mind. Gradually, I understand the gentleness of that person, which is a different kind of love. He gives me tolerance, Understanding and silent comfort... and these are things that Apollo never gave me."

"The most important thing is..." At the end, Hermes turned his gaze to the door on the balcony, as if saying to the person behind the door, "He killed two of my important friends, even if I don't Hold the grudge, and it is impossible to be with him again."

Hearing this, the people behind the door seemed to be in despair, walking further and further away with heavy steps.

Cupid also looked over: "Is there someone behind the door?"

"I don't know, maybe it's an employee who wanted to come up to blow some air and found someone..."

Hermes took out his cigarette indifferently, and lit another one.

Taking a deep breath, he felt relieved.

"Is Apollo so bad? Could it be that I love the wrong person..."

"That's not necessarily the case. After 500 years, if this man hasn't changed at all, then he is too bad. I believe he wants to make up for me, but it's too late... what he can do now, Just cherish the next one." Hermes patted Cupid on the shoulder, "Give him a little time, give him a chance, and he will become a good man like Hades."

At night, Hermes lay in generous arms, still thinking about what happened at noon today.

"What's wrong?" A big hand stroked his hair gently, "Still asleep?"

I can't hide anything from him...

Hermes had no choice but to open and close his eyes: "It's nothing, I was reminded of the past by a kid's words today..."

"Remember what happened in the past?"

"I said, don't be angry..." Hermes looked at Hades and blinked, "I remembered what I did with Apollo... I'm sorry, you are so good to me, I should have all It's right to forget, but I..."

Hades kissed Hermes who was a little nervous in his arms: "Why forget it, it is part of your life, I have no right to let you delete him."

"Thank you." Hermes smiled with relief.

"Then... If you were to return to him now, would you still be willing?"

Hermes froze for a moment: "Are you joking?"

No, Hades never jokes... what's going on?

Hermes stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, asking him to believe in his heart: "Yes, that memory is very warm even now, but it is just a memorial, I never thought Go back! All I want is you, to hold you like this!"

"I know, I won't let you go!"

Hades returned the same tight hug and closed his eyes.

My heart, which had always been calm, was beating violently at this moment.

Hermes felt his emotional ups and downs, and after spending so many years together, he instinctively told himself that something must have happened...

After Hades' mood stabilized a bit, Hermes asked softly in his ear, "Honey, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, maybe I've been a little tired recently..." Hades patted Hermes on the back, "Go to sleep."

Hades gently comforted Hermes, but just as he was about to fall asleep, another violent vibration came from the earth's crust!

This time the shock was stronger than the previous ones. The things on the table smashed into pieces, and the chandelier on the ceiling also shook back and forth...

The whole Elysee was shaking uncomfortably.

Hades turned over and got up, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed a long coat and put it on his body.

"Hades, why are there so many recent earthquakes... what happened?"

Hades turned around and kissed Hermes lightly on the forehead: "It's okay, it's just a change in the earth's crust. I'll take a look. Protect yourself and don't leave here!"

After Hades finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and rushed out like an arrow.

It lasted for more than a minute before the shocking ground gradually quieted down.

Hermes, however, did not calm down. He held his heart in the air, and looked anxiously at the door, waiting for Hades to come back.

He knew Hades wasn't telling him the truth.

He has always been like this, taking everything by himself, and never saying anything when encountering difficulties...

Is it because my strength is too weak to help him?

But this made me even more worried...

Just like this, we waited helplessly until dawn, and several aftershocks occurred during the period, which made people panic.

After seeing Hades return, Hermes finally let go of his hanging heart.

"I'm back." Hades came up to hug him, "I'm sorry to have surprised you."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you..."

"Knowing that you are waiting for me, I will definitely come back." Hades comforted in a gentle voice, "Okay, it's over, don't you have to go to work today?"

"No, let me accompany you."

"Let's go... When you come back, you will see that the house has become clean and beautiful again."

"All right……"

Although he didn't know why he insisted on letting him go, but he knew that if he didn't want to talk, no matter how hard he asked, there would be no result.

In this case, it is better to leave temporarily and let him concentrate on dealing with the current situation.

So I bid farewell as before, and walked away anxiously.

原罪

Over the next few months, the restless crust seemed to calm down, and there were no more terrible earthquakes.

The earth is still turning, life is still going on, it seems that the previous worries are unnecessary...

Hermes finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Hades has settled the matter.

His lover is as reliable as a mountain, as long as he says it can be done, it will be done.

Yes, nothing to worry about, it's all over.

Hermes smiled, picked up a full cup of coffee from the vending machine, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure flashing past the corner.

Sighing in my heart, there is another tricky thing in front of me.

Since the veto order was issued on the rooftop that day, Apollo has been avoiding him. Except for business conversations, he never came to him again.

It is really not easy for a person to suddenly let go of something that has been attached to for more than 2000 years... But, no matter what, this time we must cut the mess quickly.

If it continues, it will be a kind of harm to everyone.

Now that Hades had settled down, he had nothing to worry about, so Hermes decided to leave for a while to keep a distance from each other to calm down.

The reason is to go to several countries in Asia to promote "solar cars", investigate the market there, and choose a powerful city as a new production base.

I already made an agreement with Hades last night and got Apollo's approval. Now I just need to make a phone call and talk to the chairman.

It's said that this smelly old man has been happy and happy recently, and if he doesn't appear again, even the audience will forget him.

"Hello?" The same lazy voice as always.

"Stinky old man, do you know that the world is ending!"

"Hehe, why don't I find a place to hide now!"

"Where are you now? How come I don't even know your whereabouts recently?"

"Do you believe what I said... I'm with your husband right now!"

"Neuropathy!"

Hermes is probably the only one in this world who dares to call God King Zeus "crazy".

Zeus didn't blame him, just laughed.

"Hey, seriously, I might be away from headquarters for a while."

"How long? Why?
