Liu Yu just felt as if he had fallen into an eternal problem.
"Babber, if you were Mr. Leslie, how would you change your mind?"
She thought of the tiny connection between Scabbers and Gaia—
If it wasn't for that connection, how could Banban project Gaia's shadow through the thick wall
"Scattered?"
Banban blinked his black beans.
Liu Yu told it that Gaia was going to dance with Nataxi.
[Oh, poor Baby, Scabbers... Scabbers can't figure it out. ] Scabbers scratched his head with his wings, [But... why, Mr. Leslie, want to dance with Nataxi? ]
… Yeah, why
Liu Yu found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
She is always using human thinking to interpret God—
Even after losing her memory, Gaia's instinct as a god is still there.
Recalling the novel, most of it is written around Nataxi, and the description of God is almost pitiful.
"God always sits on his throne, looking at the water mirror in front of him... Nataxi still doesn't understand what is in that water mirror, which is worthy of God's attention again and again. But she knows that God is more than He ruled the world she came from, and he also ruled many other unknown worlds. And the believers in those worlds, like the people of God, prayed to him, offered their faith and devotion; and God, Like a loving father, always patiently listening."
“…Nataxi was at ease because God never forsakes His believers.”
Liu Yu was silent.
What if Gaia agreed to Nataxi's invitation because she listened to her prayer
Just as a farmer is responsible to the lambs in his fold, Gaia, as a god, is responsible to his followers—and she, because she is not heard, is excluded.
"Banban, this is really difficult."
She sighed deeply, and then went out under the staring eyes of the gray spotted sparrow, "I'll go to the cafeteria."
[Baby! ] Banban patted his wings, [What do you want to do? ]
"One of the thirty-six strategies is called 'Bitter Meat Strategy'."
Liu Yu waved his hand and disappeared behind the threshold.
Scratching his head:
[Bebby is saying something Banban doesn't understand again... Thirty-six tricks? what? Can I eat it? ]
It raised its neck and shouted:
[Baby! If you want to cry, come to Banban's arms! Banban has a broad and warm chest! ]
Liu Yu: ...
"You'd better leave it to the other females."
She laughed, and suddenly her mood improved a lot. She went to the restaurant to buy some low-alcohol sparkling wine, and sat alone by Lake Berna to drink it. After she smelled of alcohol, she went to knock on the door of the men's room.
"I'm looking for Mr. Leslie..."
She said with her tongue out.
"Mr. Leslie?" The housekeeper looked at her suspiciously, "Miss Fergus, have you been drinking?"
The girl lowered her head, leaving only the top of her stubborn head, and repeated:
"I'm looking for Mr. Leslie."
"Did you quarrel?" The warden sighed. "Several girls came to him just now, asking for some dance. Miss Fergus and Mr. Leslie all refused..."
"I'm looking for Mr. Leslie."
Liu Yu continued to repeat.
"Okay, okay, I'll call him! You little lovers, you don't stop, you seem to be sorry for your great love if you don't toss about things!" The dormitory supervisor complained and called for someone.
Liu Yu walked under a tall locust tree by the side of the road.
Look left and right, find the angle with the clearest light, make sure that people passing by can see her at a glance, and then lean on the tree trunk, she seems to be incapable of drinking, and closes her eyes——
Under the dim street lights, the girl's slender figure was set off by the big tree more clearly, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
When the dormitory supervisor came out, he saw this scene.
"Miss Fergus?" She sympathized slightly in her heart, these young people are always dying, "Mr. Leslie is here."
The boy came out from behind the dormitory supervisor:
"Belia? What's the matter?"
Almost as soon as his words fell, the girl's tears fell:
"Gaia..."
"I am very depressed."
She smelled of alcohol, and the tears on her face made her look like a poor little girl.
"Why are you dancing with my sister? Oh, my heart..." She clutched her chest: "It's about to break, Gaia, why are you being so cruel to me..."
She heard it, and she looked at the elegant young man with disapproval:
"Mr. Leslie, it's not good to have two girls at the same time."
The strong smell of alcohol along with the wind made the air under the tree extremely dry.
Gaia frowned slightly:
"Belia, you've been drinking."
"Yes, I drank."
The girl flicked her hand, stumbled over, bumped into the boy's arms, and hugged his waist again, "I, I... don't want... Gaia, don't be so cruel to me..."
Outside the men's dormitory, people come and go.
They all saw the girl's tears, and said boldly:
"Mr. Leslie, it's not natural to make a lady cry!"
"Belia, I'll take you home."
The teenager was unmoved.
He reached out to hold her wrist, but the girl threw him away. She wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and raised her head: "Gaia, even you...will be snatched away by Nataxi like everyone else?"
She said in a pitiful, begging, and weak voice:
"I have only one friend."
"only."
"I'm sorry, Belia." The boy was not moved by her nonsense, he sighed, "I can't break my promise."
"promise?"
The girl said faintly, but also ruthlessly, "Okay! Okay!"
Saying that, she pushed him away fiercely, and stumbled out:
"Leslie! You'll regret it!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the heartbroken girl, as well as the faint desperation and ruthlessness in her eyes made people startled. Some people couldn't help but look at the place where she disappeared:
"Miss Fergus, yes, yes... Oops! That's the direction of Lake Bernard!"
"Miss Fergus can't think about it, can she?"
The dormitory supervisor ran away.
The crowd followed her quickly, and the silver-haired boy frowned slightly, and followed her almost instantly.
"Plop—"
Amidst the muffled sound of water, the aquatic plants by the lake swayed, causing ripples on the surface of the lake.
Someone saw it out of the corner of his eye and screamed:
"Miss Fergus, my God! Miss Fergus is in the river!"
The silver-haired boy jumped into the river almost at the same time.
Liu Yu closed his eyes, sinking and floating in the river.
She knows how to swim, restrained her hands and feet trying to hit the water, and let herself "struggle" in a decent manner, her chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, sinking and sinking—
She felt suffocated and thought in a daze:
I hope the bitter trick works.
With an arm around his waist, Liu Yu opened his eyes.
"cover… "
Just opening his mouth, he choked on a mouthful of water.
Her lungs hurt like they were about to explode, she started to cough—but her lips were stuck together, the boy gave her a breath, kicked her hands and feet, and the water carried them up automatically.
"Saved! Saved!"
There was a burst of joy by the river.
Liu Yu only felt that he was lying on a piece of soft grass, and when he opened his eyes, Gaia's face was in front of him.
She coughed violently:
"Cough cough cough—"
The boy got up, and she grabbed his clothes with her weak hand: "Gaia, I..."
He pulled her hand away, turned his head, his face was wet, and his silver hair was messily stuck to his cheeks:
"Belia, committing suicide is not something to be admired"
"Drink less alcohol."
Liu Yu half stood up:
"Are you angry, Gaia?"
The young man in front turned around, his brows were drenched with water, his lake-green eyes seemed to have been washed, reflecting the dark bushes on the side of the road, it was pitch black.
"No, Belia, your life is your own, and you have the right to make your own decisions—while sober."
"As for me, the promise I made will never change."
The girl covered her face, as if she couldn't bear it, she began to cry.
There was no tear on the face hidden under the hands.
The bitter plan failed.
What if... the aggressive method
Will he be annoyed
Liu Yu originally didn't want to involve others.
A man who pursues a woman, if he is half-hearted, the most he can catch is a woman of his level; and Gaia, a god who is destined to open his eyes—
Half-hearted, half-hearted, will only be reduced to nothing.
Her gaze passed through the crowd, and fell on Prince Carlo who was rushing out of breath.
"In that case," the girl's reddened eyes were filled with sadness, as if grasping at the last straw, "Prince Carlo, would you like to be my dance partner in the etiquette class?"
Prince Carlo separated from the crowd and walked over.
He grabbed the back of the hand she handed to him and kissed him piously, kneeling on one knee:
"My pleasure, Miss Fergus."
