Night of June 17th.
Looking at the black, sticky liquid in the bowl, Lu Ming frowned. The pungent smell made him want to vomit.
"You mean, after I eat this thing, I will fall into a coma and won't wake up until I am born tomorrow?" Looking at Bizhu in front of him with a very solemn expression, Lu Ming gradually put aside his original joking attitude and became serious.
Bizhu nodded slightly, "Yes."
Lu Ming nodded: "Then there will be no birthday song at midnight today." However, it seemed that Bizhu had already informed Pamela and Bis, and they were not at home. I don't know why they avoided it.
Bisi looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Master, it's time to eat."
The clock is about to strike six in the afternoon.
Lu Ming nodded, gritted his teeth, pinched his nose, and suddenly poured the black slurry in the bowl into his mouth.
Biju will definitely not harm herself.
But when will I wake up tomorrow
In my previous life, my birthday was also on June 18th, but the time was different from this world. In this world, I was born in the early morning, around 5 o'clock, but in my previous life, I was born at noon.
This was the last thought that flashed through my mind, and then suddenly all thoughts disappeared, as if I had fallen into endless darkness.
…
I slowly opened my eyes, and it seemed like a very brief moment, and I drank the ointment just a few seconds ago.
I was lying on the soft big bed. The red curtain of the moon-shaped bed was hung down, and the thick curtains of the dormitory were closed tightly. It was extremely quiet all around.
Lu Ming slowly sat up, lifted the curtain and went downstairs. He picked up the watch on the table beside him and took a look. It was a little after one o'clock.
The faint light coming through the gap in the curtains was obviously a little after 1:00 p.m., not a little after 1:00 a.m.
Suddenly Lu Ming was stunned. He was completely naked. He quickly picked up his pajamas from the hanger and put them on. He called out, "Hanzhu? Bizhu?"
No one responded.
Lu Ming stood up and raised his voice slightly: "Is anyone there?"
The dormitory door was gently pushed open, and a small figure came in. Lu Ming was startled. The girl in pink kimono, wooden clogs and white socks was Kuroki Saori.
After not seeing her for a long time, the red birthmark on her face had disappeared, and she seemed to have grown taller, and her temperament had become colder. But the moment Lu Ming looked at her, she looked timid, just like the little child who had just come into this family.
She carried the brocade plate and came in front of Lu Ming. In the plate was another bowl of white, sticky liquid.
"Where is your great master?" Lu Ming asked.
"The great master is in meditation. She said there's nothing wrong. Grandpa, there's no need to worry." Kuroki Saori said timidly.
Lu Ming nodded. It was his birthday, so the way he addressed himself, “Little Grandfather”, became “Grandpa”.
"Is this what I need to drink after I wake up?" Lu Ming said as he picked up the porcelain bowl. "Your master didn't say anything taboo, did he? Or should I just drink it in one gulp?"
Kuroki Saori nodded timidly. When she heard her grandfather say "drink it in one gulp", she wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to.
Hmm? Lu Ming was startled again. This snow-white lake of pulp had a faint fragrance that he could only smell when he got closer.
At this moment, he was also very hungry, so Lu Ming picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. But this time, he even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
"I'm going to see your great master!" Lu Ming walked out. Kuroki Saori didn't dare to stop him and followed him.
…
Bizhu was sleeping, and her pretty face looked very peaceful, so Lu Ming felt relieved.
I walked out of Bizhu's dormitory and stretched my arms and legs in the corridor. Apart from feeling a little relaxed and the return of my sense of touch, nothing else seemed to be different.
Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind and turned to go to the study.
He took out the black box from the safe, took out the ancient black iron key from it, and looked at the veins of the golden leaves. He had a vague feeling that the veins suddenly became extremely clear, as if they were gradually enlarging in front of his eyes.
There was a voice in my body calling out for something, and my head suddenly buzzed, with countless images pouring in.
It was as if it was exactly the same as the first day I came to this world. All kinds of slides flooded into my mind like a tide. My brain felt like it was going to explode. Some kind of body protection mechanism was going to make me faint right now. However, I was extremely awake, enduring the unspeakable pain of countless sharp needles piercing my brain.
Gradually, the pain disappeared, as if I had become numb.
I don't know how much time has passed, but suddenly a clear little girl's voice came out, "Uncle, uncle!"
Lu Ming came back to his senses after a moment of shock, looked at the black iron key in his hand, sighed softly, put it into the black box, and locked it in the safe.
I walked over and opened the door. The person standing outside was none other than Bisi, who was as beautiful and lovely as a little princess in a snow-white lace dress.
"Uncle, I chose this birthday cake for you!" Bisi giggled, revealing her gap teeth, which was so adorable. She was at the age when her premolars should be replaced.
Lu Ming was stunned, "Ah, you have changed your teeth, and your uncle is not by your side! Really..."
Bisi immediately looked aggrieved, "Uncle, Mom doesn't let me lick it, and she scolds me when she sees it. Bisi is so upset!"
Lu Ming reached out and picked her up, saying with a smile: "Don't pay attention to her, just lick it if it itches. Even if her teeth grow crooked, our Bisi is still the most beautiful little princess in the world!"
Ah? Bis's face turned bitter, and she whispered, "Well, then I won't lick it..."
Lu Ming laughed out loud, and suddenly realized, huh? Holding Bisi, it felt just like holding a little doll, no need for any strength at all, huh, this feeling is really good.
In the living room on the third floor, colorful lights were flashing. On the cake cart in the center of the living room was a twenty-layered tower-shaped cake. Although it was made extremely delicately, it was still more than one person tall.
"Happy birthday!" Pamela, who was wearing a ruby puffy aristocratic long dress and had blonde hair and blue eyes, stood next to the cake, with a row of maids behind her cheering together.
On the other side of the cake, there was a picture. In it, there was a fairy with fluttering colorful clothes, and judging from her charm, it was Hanzhu. Another fairy with a sword as strong as a rainbow, it was naturally Bizhu. This picture was drawn by Hanzhu herself.
Lu Ming stared at it blankly. Although the scene seemed a little weird, he felt warm in his heart.
It seems that Hanzhu and Bizhu knew that they could not move before midnight today, but their crowning ceremonies could not be postponed, so they used this compromise method.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to Fernald College..." After cutting the cake, Lu Ming said to Pamela.
Seeing Pamela's surprised expression, Lu Ming came back to his senses. It was because what he was thinking about in his mind right now were these imminent matters.
He smeared the cream on his fingers and applied it on Bisi's little face, who was staring at the cake and leaning over secretly.
Bis giggled immediately and reached out to take the cake, pretending to smear her uncle's cake, but actually taking a piece to eat secretly. Her mother would not let her eat sweets since she had changed her teeth.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Pamela grabbed her collar and pulled her away. The little girl looked at Lu Ming with a bitter face and pleadingly.
Lu Ming couldn't help laughing. He almost laughed out loud at Pamela's behavior, which was very un-aristocratic and un-ladylike.
All those conspiracies, thousand-year burdens, grand ambitions, etc., at this moment, just go with the wind. Now is your happy time.
