"Gaia, I'm hungry."
As soon as she walked out of the pale infirmary, the girl in a pure white cotton dress grabbed the boy beside her, "...so hungry."
she said.
As soon as the words fell, my stomach started to growl, reminding me of the time at the bottom of the lake.
At this time, Gaia spread her hands.
On the palm, a small purple fruit that looked familiar stayed there peacefully, without any moisture, it looked dry and not very tasty.
"You actually... brought it out?"
The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"It's not me, it's you." The boy turned his head sideways, and the light fell into those gray green eyes, "...it's in the coat, Belia."
"… coat?"
Liu Yu remembered.
That navy blue uniform that has come in handy so many times... that's been taken off and put on and taken off again.
As for now...
She glanced at the white dress on her body, it should have been changed by Dr. Veronica.
"No! I don't want to eat this! I want to eat raisin cheese, cocoa biscuits, and deliciously fried lamb chops!" The girl counted one by one with her fingers, "Gaia, can you accompany me to the dining room? it is good?"
The boy didn't answer, but turned his body around, moved his long legs away, and headed towards the dining room.
Liu Yu smiled.
"Hey! You wait for me!"
Under the blue sky, the girl's white skirt fluttered.
She trotted up to follow, quietly grabbed his wrist with her left hand, slid down, and tilted her head to look at him. Seeing that his expression was calm, she quietly inserted her fingers into his palm, clasped them tightly, and said without words:
"...By the way, Gaia, do you still remember what happened...before you fell into a coma?"
The boy's footsteps stopped.
Liu Yu could only see his thinner body wrapped in a wide white robe, like a tall poplar.
"Belia, if you want to ask what happened, I'm sorry, I don't know." He turned his head and looked at her quietly, his gray green eyes did not move. "A force overwhelmed me, and all darkness was reduced to ashes... Then, I kissed you..."
His eyes fell on her, quiet, yet seemingly powerful.
"... everything seems to come from my instinct.... So, Belia, I'm sorry, I can't answer you, just like in front of Lord Bruce. The world seems to me... It seems to be another look, I suddenly wanted to know who I was."
"Gaia..."
Liu Yu opened his mouth and closed it again.
She put her hands on her chest subconsciously, and when she felt that the memory beads were still there, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
cheer up:
"It's okay, Gaia, one day you will find the answer... Now, go to the lamb chops! They must be waiting impatiently!"
"I think they must not be so looking forward to Miss Fergus' arrival."
The boy rarely laughed.
His long and narrow eyes were slightly bent, and he looked at the girl's cheeks all of a sudden.
"Hey!"
She was angry, "Gaia, you, why are you like this!"
The girl's energetic voice echoed through the avenue at noon, stirring up a flock of birds.
They hovered in mid-air, fell, hovered, and fell again, and their crisp and cheerful cries filled the academy.
…
canteen.
"A piece of cheese? Oh, no! Almond pancakes? Sold out. Lamb chops? Of course not!" At the window, a chubby middle-aged woman in a white bib pushed the plate angrily, "Sorry, Only baguettes, Miss Fergus."
... only baguettes
Liu Yu pointed to the side in disbelief, and the young gods were happily taking the food plate from another person:
"Then why do they have it?"
"Miss Fergus—" The woman who has always been kind to her crossed her arms, and her eyes fell on her intersecting hands with Gaia, "—our restaurant does not welcome heretics, nor do we welcome pagans as friends..."
"... Miss Fergus."
It becomes so fast.
Liu Yu thought, before going to the Emerald Forest, when Gaia came to the dining room with Gaia, he acted like seeing a long-lost son. If you order a piece of lamb chops, you can give one and a half pieces, and you have to add half a piece of cheese.
"But, Aunt Kaisa, as long as I, Belia Fergus, is still a God-favored one, you alone..." She paused, with contemptuous eyes, "Mortal, a mortal who offends me, I will deal with you, No one will speak for you."
Aunt Kaisa was stunned.
She never thought that Miss Fergus, who always smiled like a flower in front of the heathen, would say such a thing.
"Miss Fergus, you..."
The girl's beautiful white fingers pushed the food plate back:
"Almond crepes, grape cheese, lamb chops—now."
Arrogant, taken-for-granted voices.
"Yes, yes." Aunt Kaisa cursed in her heart, but she still hurriedly packed the things and pushed them out of the window, "Miss Fergus, your food."
Liu Yu looked at the lamb chops, which had shrunk by half, and the dry cheese:
"One more of the same."
"Sorry." This time, Aunt Kai'Sa puffed out her chest, "It is the job of our canteen to provide food to the honorable god-favored ones. But heretics... are not included."
"Unless you step over my dead body, don't—"
Looking at the brilliance on the other party's face of "willing to die for the light at any time", Liu Yu closed his mouth.
"Belia, I've eaten." At this moment, Gaia took the plate in her hand, "Let's go."
Liu Yu followed.
Whispering voices kept ringing in my ears.
"It's a pity, if you didn't go to the Emerald Forest, Mr. Leslie would still be a pious and bright Star Knight..."
"Are you feeling sorry for a heretic? If it was me, the moment I became a heretic, I would pierce my heart with a sharp sword in my hand. He betrayed the light and God's love for him... He is guilty."
"Yes, his sins should be burned with a blazing fire. I feel suffocated to breathe the same air as him."
"But Miss Fergus didn't draw a clear line with him. A devout believer in the light, but because of narrow selfish love, she chooses to be with a pagan... It's really incomprehensible."
Amid the strange gazes, the two chose a secluded corner and sat down, leaning against the wall.
"Gaia, the past few days...doesn't the canteen give you food? Then what do you eat?"
Liu Yu picked up a piece of pancake and tried to push it to him under countless burning gazes, but was rejected.
"Need not."
Gaia shook her head.
With a flick of his index finger in the air, a bird passed through the half-open window and perched between his fingers.
The light came in obliquely, making his brows quiet and gentle:
"I have many... friends."
"They'll bring food."
"The fruit in the forest and the clear mountain spring are like a...wonderful magic."
Birds chirped.
Liu Yu: ...
Come on, it's not just people who are bewitched by gods.
"Then I'll start."
Take a bite of the pancake, and it melts in your mouth. The thick milky aroma mixed with the almond aroma spreads on the tip of your nose; the cheese mixed with a little raisin, the deliciously fried lamb chops...
Liu Yu closed his eyes in enjoyment, feeling like returning to the world.
At this moment, the table was suddenly bumped by someone.
"Clatter—"
Liu Yu thought:
coming.
She waited for someone to bully Gaia.
She will advance and retreat with him.
… just a shame about the food.
The food plates neatly placed on the table fell to the ground along with the bowls and dishes on the plate, making a crisp sound of shattering.
Princess Mary, who was dressed in luxurious agate red, withdrew her hand pretentiously:
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But I don't think . . . the gracious Miss Fergus will take this little offense to me. After all . . . you can sit down with a heathen."
The blond girl stood up excitedly:
"Princess Mary, you've gone too far. Others say it's okay, but we are classmates after all, not to mention... Gaia's verdict has not yet been handed down, you should apologize to him."
"Apologize? A heretic?" Princess Mary seemed to have heard something extremely funny, "You want me, a respectable believer of light, a person favored by God, to apologize to a fallen heretic?"
"But not long ago, honorable Princess Mary, you did something to get this heretic..." Liu Yu paused, "It's not very honorable."
"Then, that is the princess who is blind!"
Princess Mary's gaze fell to the table, and the jade-like young man was sitting there quietly, still so handsome that it made people heartbroken.
Her gaze quickly drifted away again:
"Now, not now! One, a heretic! He can't wash away his sins even if he is tied to the gallows and died ten thousand times. Ben, this princess will not like him anymore!!"
"So... your love is so superficial."
Liu Yu sighed softly, "What you love is just his original halo, and the future Star Knight, but you can't see his heart..."
"Mr. Leslie's heart is like the purest diamond in the world, gentle and firm. He is not depraved, but has encountered some setbacks, but I believe that one day, he will return to the embrace of the God of Light. I Always trust him."
The firmness on the girl's face made her look like the purest and cleanest angel in the world.
"Fart! An infidel is an infidel! It's like a dog eating shit!"
Someone was scolding nearby.
Princess Mary seemed to gain strength from these words, and proudly puffed up her chest:
"let's go!"
She was so aggressive that she was about to bump into Liu Yu's right shoulder, which lost her arm—
At this moment, a gust of wind stopped her.
The boy who was sitting quietly just now stood up and stood in front of Liu Yu.
He "looked" at her condescendingly, his green eyes seemed to hide an endless underground river:
"Princess Mary, you lost your composure."
Princess Mary jumped up like a cat whose tongue had been bitten off:
"Ly, Mr. Leslie, I, I, I didn't mean to..."
I didn't know what to think of, and immediately became confident again:
"Yes! I did it on purpose! What's wrong? What's wrong with punishing a believer of light who is willing to degenerate?!"
"Oh, God of Light!" At this moment, Aunt Kaisa ran out from the kitchen door: "These porcelain, these porcelain..."
Porcelain from the ancient oriental country is extremely precious. Even if Guangming College is rich and powerful, it can use these oriental colored porcelain as ordinary tableware for the use of the gods—but it definitely does not include paying for intentionally damaged porcelain.
"Please put it on Princess Mary's account." Liu Yu said, "And the Luso that I spent with the food just now."
"Just remember! The Carlo royal family is not like your Fergus family. They also need to sell their dignity to get money." Princess Mary raised her chin high, "You also think I am wrong?"
She asked the follower behind her.
The two girls who were blushing and heartbeating when they saw Gaia before, now have a serious face:
"No, Princess Mary, you are right! Mr. Leslie has betrayed God! No punishment will be too great for the traitor and his friends."
"Yes, you are right, very good!"
Princess Mary reached out and stroked the messy feathers on her head, "See you tomorrow, Miss Fergus, Lai, oh no, Mr. Heretic, I hope you can have a good time in the future! Welcome to Guangming College."
Liu Yu watched coldly as Princess Mary walked away with her attendants.
Other than sweeping their eyes, the others also died down, sat down regretfully, and ordered the same one again.
On the way back to the women's house, those familiar or unfamiliar gods kept away from them, acting as if they suddenly changed from human beings to disgusting bugs, germs that people avoid and fear, Get closer and you will be infected.
"Mr. Leslie, are you sorry?"
Liu Yu looked at it and thought it was ridiculous.
"sad?"
"Yes, just like just now..." Liu Yu paused, "Princess Mary likes you so much, those people admired you in the past, but now, they treat you like the ice of the North Pole, cold and hard. And Bruce Your Excellency, Lord Malan, they—”
"—I don't care." The boy said, "What happens to them has nothing to do with me."
Liu Yu looked sideways at him.
Under the green tree-lined road, the young man's white skin was slightly haloed by the sunlight.
He was filthy all over, but he was handsome, and his slightly upturned face was full of calm.
So, she knew that he really didn't care.
But why, aren't those the lambs you raised in captivity
Have you not the rage of being offended when they thrust upon you the maw that stabs at the enemy.
However, more importantly, for a person who doesn't care about bullying and exclusion at all, how can the drama of "redemption" go on
Liu Yu could only act awkwardly.
"I don't care!" the girl said angrily, "I can't just watch others bully you! No one can bully you, including yourself! Starting tomorrow, I will always follow you..."
Come on, devout believers of the light, I hope the "surprise" you prepare for God is bigger——
Big enough to make him care, make him hurt, and make him unable to calm down anymore.
