People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

Therefore, many things do not lie in how long we have known each other, nor in the intersection of the past, but more like an answer that can be blurted out at the same time, and the story of your parents must be the same.

——Maybe he would say this sentence with a smile before, but now he just said instead, "Well, it's quite a coincidence. Maybe it means...the thinking of adults has a certain similarity?"

He made another joke.

But the atmosphere between the two remained silent. Qin didn't smile, but said softly, "There's more to that story, do you want to continue listening?"

Gu Bai nodded.

"Later, my father was going to settle down in Mond City. He is a person who is used to handling everything well before making a public announcement. He may not have promised his mother anything, but he still stayed. Many decisions were made behind his back. It was done in secret."

"My mother saw his intentions and planned to give him a sum of money to open a shop in the city to gain a foothold. But my father didn't accept it. Instead, he started entrusting him gradually and accumulated a good amount of money in the city. reputation."

"And my mother is similar to him. She has no famous words, but she also distracts her mind from work, and slowly hands over some things to her subordinates to do. When she has free time, she will stroll around the city with her father."

"It also happened to be during that time, and the case they were still investigating finally came to light. My father made great contributions to this matter and was awarded the Medal of Honorary Knight."

"Speaking of which, it was awarded by my mother. I really don't know how they felt at that time... Do you still remember that there is a blank space on the wall of the office? That place is where the group photo was hung many years ago."

"After becoming an honorary knight, my father began to help my mother with some official duties. I can often see them appearing together in the city. This is what an old senior told me. They will go out of the city to perform tasks and resolve disputes among citizens. , tinkering with the house with tools and materials..."

"Until the end of the day's work, with tiredness, I leaned on the sofa in the office and drank a cup of coffee. My father took pictures of my mother when she was asleep and hung them in their room... But those pictures, I don't know where to go now Where is it?"

"At that time, the attitude of the two towards this relationship was more like a tacit understanding."

"And the unspoken reason is that they both know each other. In reality, there is not so much romance and satisfaction. It is not a simple matter to want to be together."

"There are many resistances from the outside world. There are voices from the people, the family, and even the Knights. One is the eldest daughter of an ancient family, who serves as the deputy head; the other...adventurer, this profession is not It’s not as bright as it looks.”

Qin laughed when she said this:

"But something that no one could have imagined happened. Father, he cleared all the obstacles by using the fame he had accumulated before, his status as an honorary knight, and a little bit of authority at work. Transformed into a pastor in the West Wind Church."

"—Hey, have you heard that there is actually a foreigner in the Westwind Church, that is, the former great adventurer Simon. That's what people said at that time."

"But that's not enough. He, I don't know what happened, he was promoted to the director of the West Wind Church all the way. Everyone was dumbfounded and convinced at the same time. Even my mother would be distracted for a long time when she recalled it."

"And then, on the second day of the father's coronation ceremony, the two of them went to the oath gorge to hold their wedding together. The two of them finally achieved a positive result, which is also the end of this story."

"It's a nice story, isn't it?"

In the quiet night, Qin gently finished the first half of the story.

"If there is a chance, I really want to meet your father." He said subconsciously, and then he reacted, "I mean, I want to see what this legendary Mr. Bishop looks like..."

"What do you think of this story?" Jean interrupted him perversely.

"It's beautiful and exciting..."

"Then... do you think this story is familiar?" Qin interrupted him again, she clenched her hands unconsciously, with an unprecedented serious expression.

"..."

Gu Bai didn't answer.

Jean didn't look away, but continued to stare into his eyes, as if waiting for a definite answer.

"I..." He paused, and finally said, "The place in front is somewhat familiar."

"I also think it's very familiar." She lowered her face and said slowly, "It's like something happened around me, right?"

"Yes." Gu Bai didn't look at her, "It's indeed like a similar story that happened around me."

"Then what do you think, this ongoing story...how will it end?"

"..."

He fell silent again.

Seeing this, Qin smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile. She didn't continue to ask, but instead said, "Actually... Lisa said something wrong."

"You should have heard all the words in the restaurant. When it comes to you going to the snow mountain, she said that she may not be dissatisfied, but more likely a little shy."

"Maybe."

"I hope it's possible, but, you know, she doesn't know you well enough about this." Qin whispered, "Or, you don't know yourself as well as you think."

She raised her face, "She always said, you haven't responded all the time."

"It was my fault, so today I..."

"No, actually not responding is already a response." She took a deep breath and put her hands on her chest, "I understand."

"Whether it's the snow mountain, or after you come back, or tonight, maybe I've been deceiving myself not to understand, and even I'm about to believe it, but I always understand."

"That's not embarrassment, but because you already have the answer."

She clutches her collar:

"The reason why you are hesitating is not that you are hesitating about what the answer is, as Lisa said; it's that you are hesitating about how to get to this answer."

It turns out...she already knew.

"The reason why I came to you this time..."

"Don't say it yet, okay." Qin whispered, "I still have something to say to you, if I listen to you first, then there will be no chance for these words."

"I'll listen carefully."

"I just don't understand ... why everything changes so quickly."

"But I really don't know what to do. I try my best to do everything I can think of, but no matter what I do, I can't change it... If I met you at another time, would there be something wrong with me?" A different ending."

"Feel sorry."

"I still remember the past, when I was in the Knights, every night in your room, at first I was talking about your injury, and gradually I heard you talking about various things, sometimes I didn't know it. I chatted until very late, and then I found out that every time I was in front of you, I would remove my identity as the acting team leader."

"You will remember that there is less milk in the coffee, you will avoid my position when you open the window, and open the one on your side, you will calculate in advance the time when I will go to you, and then go to bed later, and you will take the trouble to tell me Don't stay up late, tell me to smile when I'm down, write a page full of paper to play a game with me, and make the pizza I like... There's something I haven't told you all this time."

"Actually, the pizza you make is not good. The crust is thick, the vegetables are dry, and the cheese is too much. You always ask me what's wrong, but in fact nothing is good."

"But even if it's not good anywhere, I..."

She bit her lip:

"I really want to eat your pizza again."

Her head lowered a little bit:

"I... have never planned to avoid you, I just don't know how to respond, I know it's stupid, but because of my father, my mother, because of their broken feelings, because of what they have already experienced thing……"

"I don't want to make a decision that cannot be guaranteed because of a momentary impulse, and I don't want to bring this kind of harm to you again."

"But, by the time I was ready, you had already gone far, without even leaving a chance."

"Do you still remember, I said that night that as long as I work hard, no matter what the outcome is, I won't regret it, but that's a lie, every time I stretch out my hand unwillingly, and then stare blankly at you turning around..."

As she was talking, the bag in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, with a bang, Qin raised her head, her eyes were covered with mist:

"Gu Bai..."

"Actually, the two stories are not similar at all..."

"I haven't even started, because no matter how I wait, I can't wait for you."

……

He stood there in a daze, and saw the carton fell to the ground, and the pizza fell out of it.

Gu Bai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

I am sorry.

He could only apologize again in his heart.

His chest was congested, as if he couldn't breathe, he really wanted to tell her that he was a rotten person through and through, but I really didn't want to hurt you...

His original intention was to see everyone smiling.

Qin is looking at herself with tears in her eyes, without taking her eyes off:

"But you know what, even so, I still want to wait for the answer."

He turned his head away, unable to return her gaze.

"But you already knew."

-------------------------------------

"What are you thinking about?" Yura shook Amber's shoulder, "I've been depressed since just now."

"I..." Amber hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't hide the thoughts all over his face, "I'm wondering what's going on with Gu Bai."

Yura fell silent after hearing that, she put down her glass and looked outside.

Through the glass, the streets outside still looked like people were coming and going, but the lights were a little dimmer than before, and the sky was gray.

Don't know if that's its original color, or if it's dimmed as the lights go out.

As a result, a circle of warm yellow swayed on the glass, reflecting the scene in the room—she dragged her chin, her eyes were complicated, Amber held her head sullenly; The hot air and water droplets outside the cup wall slowly slid on the table.

The light and shadow faltered.

……

"Did the lights flicker just now?"

Kaiya raised her head, "I said, shouldn't it be time for you to renovate here, after all, you are the richest family in the entire Mond."

The man opposite just frowned upon hearing this, then stood up.

"Hey, let's go now?" He retracted his legs on the back of the chair, "Just giving some reasonable suggestions, don't be so narrow-minded... yo?"

Saying this, from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the knight on the first floor who hurried through the door, and Kaia sighed:

"There's work to do again."

……

"Let's go back."

Withdrawing her gaze, Ying left the railing and said softly.

"Then are you feeling better?"

"Whether it's better... who knows."

She rumpled Paimon's hair with a smile:

"Not everything can go according to your will. Besides, this is the normal state. A bad mood may not necessarily improve, and a dangerous situation may not necessarily escape, and a broken relationship may not necessarily repair..."

"Many times, we will encounter things that are getting worse and keep getting worse. It doesn't mean that if you pray twice in your heart, a miracle will definitely happen."

-------------------------------------

"Then I'll go to the city to report first, everyone wait a moment."

"It's really bothering you."

An old man bowed slightly and saluted, watching the knight get off his horse and trot into the city gate.

The night is like water, and the dandelions beside the city wall sway gently in the wind.

The old man tightened the robe on his body, took out the cigarette rod and took a puff, and told the guys to get off their horses and rectify.

After a whole night of running around, they finally arrived.

Pulling out the grass stalk that was caught in the wheel, he touched the horse beside him. Behind them were several carriages, which parked quietly outside the city gate.

The horse exhaled a few puffs of white air from its nostrils, shook its head restlessly, neighed, and then pouted its hooves high.

Seeing this, the old man quickly scolded, and was about to go up to appease him:

"Uncle Ye, what's the matter?"

A dark-haired girl stepped out of the carriage.

"Miss, it's just that the horse is frightened..."

……

"But you already know."

"Even if I knew your answer a long time ago, even if I knew it was willful, I just want to hear it from you once—"

"……Well."

He couldn't bear to close his eyes:
