Angel Son of Tomorrow's Ark

39. Rafaela's Tears

...So, it was a romantic night.

Luo Zhen welcomed Rafiella into his bedroom.

It was the first time Raven had been in his room, or even in their hotel.

After all, Rhodes Island has a lot of secrets, Luo Zhen still wants to relax at home, and doesn't want to maintain Luper's state all the time.

But because of Lafayla's phone call, Luo Zhen immediately agreed to let her come after a fierce and not very long ideological struggle.

Luo Zhen washed the dishes and chopsticks left over from dinner as quickly as possible, swept the floor and changed the bed sheets, and did all the things that hotel cleaning should do.

After making sure that he could leave the best impression on people, Luo Zhen greeted Raffia in a spirited manner.

It was indeed the first time for Rafiella to come to such a good hotel.

She blinked curiously, and looked around with her little head:

"This is the Shihuaiya Hotel. It always feels amazing... I heard that people with a special black card can stay in this room, otherwise even the mayor can't get in."

Luo Zhen nodded straightly: "Indeed. Every hotel in Shihuaiya's family must reserve a room like this as a signboard. Although there is a high probability that no one will ever come to live in it, this is the signboard, and the publicity value is enough."

In terms of doing business, Luo Zhen has always admired Shi Huaiya.

But in this situation, it is too uninteresting to talk about other women.

Luo Zhen changed the subject at the right time, and asked Rafiella with a chuckle:

"Is this your first time staying at the Shihuaiya Hotel? Have you ever lived in a normal room before?"

Miss Raven shook her head:

"No. Whether it's entering a hotel or entering a man's room, this is the first time."

...Ah this!

Luo Zhen got a more direct reaction than expected, and almost got a vulnerability buff.

But he still held on anyway, and remained calm on the surface:

"It's too exaggerated for the first time. Rafaela, you have never been in a man's room before? What about your brother and father's?"

"They're not men, they're family."

Rafaela replied immediately, without any hesitation.

It seems that in the eyes of this child, "man" and "family" are two completely different concepts and should not be confused.

This is also because she has a special obsession with the identity of her family, so she must make a special distinction in her own mind.

This made Luo Zhen, who had seen her past experiences, look a little more gentle.

He squeezed soy milk for Raffia, and watched her holding the cup in both hands like a little squirrel, drinking it happily.

Luo Zhen would not get tired of watching this scene all night.

But if it lasted for one night, Luo Zhen would be very happy, but Lafayla's stomach would definitely be filled up, and she was about to bloat.

So although Luo Zhen was reluctant in every possible way, he still asked tentatively:

"So, Rafiella, what do you want me to do? You said you have something very important to tell me, and you want me to meet you alone, right?"

"Ah."

The little raven nodded and corrected his sitting posture.

She put her two little hands on her knees, giving the impression of a well-behaved elementary school student, and she was a little nervous.

This made Luo Zhen more convinced:

This atmosphere is definitely a confession, right?

This made Luo Zhen quite emotional, Lafayla is really more courageous than he expected, and even has the guts to confess directly.

And as a man who already has many girlfriends, Luo Zhen has some experience in this situation of being about to be confessed.

At this time, Luo Zhen could not say that he was indecisive, at least he could say that he was enjoying himself.

Rafaela was still blinking delicately, looking at him with big eyes:

"Brother Luo Zhen, can you promise me. Don't tell others what happened today, okay?"

"No problem, I promise."

Luo Zhen answered quickly, already hungry and thirsty.

Lafayla also gave complete trust to Luo Zhen.

In other words, if she didn't trust Luo Zhen, then this matter would not have been established from the beginning.

So after Luo Zhen agreed, Raffia took a deep breath and finally said:

"Actually, my dad is preparing a rebellion. He wants to overthrow Mayor Candela and destroy Dosoles."

Luo Zhen: "..."

Unexpectedly, what Lafayla said was really serious, and Luo Zhen dropped his shoulders in disappointment.

I'll just say it.For a pure child like Lafayla, unless she is brought along by a good sister, how could she possibly think of confessing herself.

This made Luo Zhen lament endlessly in his heart, only hating why she only had an older brother but no older sister.

Seeing Luo Zhen's disappointed expression, Rafiela naturally misunderstood it.

She took this as Luo Zhen's dislike for her, so she suddenly became nervous.

"Brother Luo Zhen, brother Luo Zhen! No, I didn't mean to do something bad... No, but I did it... I'm a bad boy, I'm sorry..."

Lafayla shrank her shoulders in a tangled state, rubbed her hands and legs restlessly, and shed tears continuously.

She herself felt incredible.

He obviously hasn't cried for a long time, at least he hasn't cried since he came to Dosores.

But now, I can't control my tears at all.

This is only because she is afraid of being hated by Luo Zhen, afraid that he will show a cold and hostile attitude towards her.

As soon as she fantasized about this kind of scene, Rafaela felt frightened and shivered, her whole body trembling.

"... Be good. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

When Luo Zhen saw Rafiella's shattering appearance, he naturally had infinite pity.

He sat next to Rafaela, pulled the newly changed quilt on the bed, and covered her shoulders.

For the time being, in order to abide by the etiquette, Luo Zhen still hugged her through the quilt, and did not directly touch her.

He hugged the soft little raven into his arms and patted her on the back:

"Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What's the matter with Rafaela? You are a bad boy. Or even if you become a bad boy, I will always like you."

"So Rafaela, you can totally trust me. And then trust me in you, okay?"

"…………Um."

Rafaela hugged Rozen's back with both hands, as if she was afraid of losing his warmth, she clinging to him with all her strength.

...Then, Rafaela said everything she knew and could say.

Her narration is a bit fragmented, with pieces here and there, which is in line with her usual personality.

But Luo Zhen could personally feel her turbulent emotions at the moment.

No matter how lazy and indifferent it looks on the surface, Rafaela is just pure expressionless, far from being called three nothing.

Her mental activity is no less than that of ordinary people, and it is active in line with her age.

It's just that usually, no one can make her confide, including her family.

Rafaela tells the story from the beginning.

From the childhood memories she can remember to the trifles of the uncles in the army camp, everything is said.

Luo Zhen listened quietly, and acted as Raffia's pillow and tree hole for free.

From her point of view, Rafiela narrated the "real Bolivars" she had seen and the battle she knew about the sacrifice of [-] people.

Raffia was adopted by Pancho and brought to Dossoles after her biological father died forever.

The life after that seemed like a dream to Rafaela.

"...Since coming to Dossoles, my father and brother have been very busy."

"They are both working for the mayor and trying to climb up. But they often have different opinions. Sometimes they go home together, and they always quarrel."

"I hate a family like that, and I hate a family that doesn't look like a family... So when I overheard occasionally that they were actually secretly preparing for a big event, I wanted to join in whatever I wanted."

Luo Zhen: "That's the plan to rebel against Candela, right?"

Raffia nodded in Rozen's arms.

Through Lafayla's personal narration, Luo Zhen learned more detailed information than what he saw in his remaining thoughts.

Pancho and Ernesto, they have been planning to overthrow Candela very early, and they have been preparing for several years.

They also have a group of comrades in the city, the number is nearly [-], and most of them are natives of Dosores.

It can be seen from this that at least not all Dosores are satisfied with the current situation, and there are some who do not want Dossoles to degenerate into the glamorous state he is now.

But there is a problem with this premise: Candela is actually very kind to Pancho.

After all, she was the one who took in Pan Qiao's family and gave him a good job, which was enough for him to live without worry.

But Pancho wasn't satisfied with that.

What he wants is not a life full of wine and food, but to continue to struggle towards his ideals.

Not only did he not appreciate Candela's preferential treatment to him, but he regarded it as another evidence of corruption.

It was impossible for the old man to change his mind. On the day he witnessed three thousand compatriots die in front of him, he probably died along with him.

Rafaela continued quietly:

"Father said that he wanted to destroy this city that consumes people's minds. So when the whole city is watching, he has to prove his existence in a way that everyone can see and hear."

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Is this way to blow up the city?"
