"Azadistan solemnly celebrated the fifth anniversary of joining the federation family. Queen Ismail and Prince Ibrahim delivered an important speech. The speech pointed out that Azadistan will be closely united in the Earth Federation with the Parliament as the core. Around, firmly support the peaceful concept of Prime Minister Mathenas 'the earthlings do not fight the earthlings'. The Britannia side highly praised Queen Ismail's speech, Nana-"
Ed poked the remote control with the AT force field with lightning speed. The TV screen cut to the cartoon channel before the woman came out, and a pink starfish in beach pants appeared on the screen.
"Uncle Ed, are you still hiding from Sister Nanali?" Minerva, who was holding his arm, raised his head and looked at him, "Why don't you talk to her? Sister Nanali is also... difficult."
"I didn't hide from anyone, I just finally had the opportunity to go home for a long vacation. I want to watch cartoons more than serious news programs." Ed stared intently at the indescribable yellow sponge on the screen, " The ninth season has already been broadcast? Well, I have to find time to make up the previous ones when I have time to spare."
"It's been exactly seven and a half years since Uncle Ed, you got your new life, and the end of last month," Minervac continued the topic reluctantly, "for so long, you and Sister Nanali don't even meet each other. I haven't seen it, I haven't said a word, are you going to tell me it's a coincidence?"
"Ah, what did you say?" Ed turned his head to look at her blankly. "Boss Crab was talking just now, but I didn't hear it clearly."
Seeing that Eddard was so skillfully acting stupid again, Minerva sighed helplessly and didn't say anything more. It's August now, and the girl will be seventeen after the second day of September. She doesn't have much time to worry about others.
The nearly seventeen-year-old girl's body has been fully grown, and her long orange hair that has been kept for many years is hanging down like a waterfall. Although her face is not as delicate as Lux, she is worse than heroic and restrained. Although her chest is not as plump as An Qi, she is worse than straight and well-proportioned. , Although the legs are not as slender as CC, they are worse than firm and tender.
All in all, no advantage could be found.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Minerva kicked off her slippers and stepped on the sofa, and changed to a more comfortable position to lean on Ed. The smooth and supple long hair gently rubbed against Ed's neck, the cotton soft on the chest was close to the arms in his arms through the single coat, and the folds of the skirt made the slightly curled calves wrapped in black stockings in sight.
"Stop talking about my topic, talk about yourself." Ed still stared at the TV screen without squinting, but he rarely took the initiative to raise the topic, "How are you getting along with your friends recently? Who did you go out with during the summer vacation?"
"I went shopping with Pru every other day, and I made an appointment to go out today. You see, I've changed my clothes and I'll wait for her." Minerva quietly peeped at Ed's reaction, "Banaji went back to his hometown. I learned from his father how to start a financial group, and he said that he is not going to go to college and directly inherit the family business. After graduating from high school, I don’t think he and I will have anything to do with each other, unless he really catches up with me.”
"That kid hasn't given up yet?" Ed's eyebrows trembled imperceptibly. "Then what do you think of him?"
"It's a good person, but he's too honest, indecisive, and has no opinion." Minerva keenly noticed Ed's reaction, "But the trouble is that Hathaway is also chasing me, it's not good to offend anyone. Hathaway went for an internship with Mr. Asita's expedition team in the summer, and should be back from Jupiter tomorrow. Although Hathaway is not as enthusiastic as Banagher's performance, he is always a good person, and he is better than Banagher. Be assertive."
"Girls, don't fall in love so early." Ed coughed twice, "Our family can't marry anyone, Minerva, don't feel pressure about their family background, just go with the flow and take it slow."
"Take your time," Minerva murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "but the wheel of angels will be completed next month."
"By the way, Pru is already on her way." Ed found the youthful and lively consciousness in his perception, and immediately began to change the subject, "At the current speed, she will be there in about ten minutes. Minerva, Don't you have to go back to your room to prepare?"
"No need, my bag is here, and my clothes have been changed. She can go straight when she comes." Minerva let go of Ed's arm and got up from the sofa, standing in front of Ed and turning around , "Uncle Ed, do you think my dress will be too see-through? And will this skirt be too short?"
Ed, who had been staring at the TV until now, had not had a chance to take a closer look at Minerva.
The sun pierced through her light singlet and hit Ed's face, the snow-white skin and the lace edge of the bra looming. Ed hurriedly lowered his head to control himself not to look at it, but what caught his eyes were the skirt corners dancing lightly under the action of centrifugal force. His eyes subconsciously walked upstream along the shimmering black fibers, the gap narrowed and narrowed, and seeing that he was about to reach the end of the field, Ed suddenly turned his head away in shock: "Too bad! Wear this out! Hurry up and go back to my room to change a suit!"
Minerva took advantage of Ed's sideways face and was not paying attention, leaned over and gave a quick print on Ed's lips, then trotted back to the second floor with a chuckle.
Just as Ed sighed, a pair of arms wrapped around Ed's shoulders from behind, and An Qi's head was attached to his right cheek: "How does it feel, the long-lost relationship between father and daughter? Is it hard to hold back? Do you want to? Let's go back to the room first and send it to you to relieve your cravings?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ed was instantly furious, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be in love with my daughter?"
"Do you think it's convincing to tell me this?" An Qi craned her neck and glanced down, pouting her lips in disapproval, "I said Ed, you don't think your education is perfect until now. Bar."
"I admit that there are some small flaws, mainly because I didn't consider that my body would not grow, which gave Minerva the illusion that I was her age. This child is in her puberty period, and she lacks fatherly love since she was a child. It is indeed easy to confuse her with one person playing two roles, as long as she is a little older, it will be better." Ed explained, "And that suit, too bad! CC, you bought her for her. Is it?"
"Why do you doubt me? Do you think I'm a character with no common sense who buys sexy clothes for a seventeen-year-old girl?" CC's lazy voice sounded behind him, "Don't worry, she never goes out in such frivolous clothes. She just bought it last week, waiting for you to come back and wear it for you to see."
"Then Ed would probably say that Minerva's tutor is really good, and he never wears frivolous clothes when he goes out. It's all my credit." Lack looked at CC with a half-smiling smile, "Alice, I forgot a little bit, can you help me find out what it means to deceive myself?"
"I found it!" Alice replied almost immediately. "Deceiving yourself means—"
"Alice!" Ed interrupted her angrily. "Tomorrow I'm going to the laboratory to deal with the backlog of problems I've been away from. You can help me sort out the materials for tomorrow's meeting with Li right now."
"Oh." Alice scratched her cheek embarrassedly, "Lux, Ed's instructions have the highest priority."
"It doesn't matter, you can go get busy." Lux smiled lightly, "Peach, Minerva has always been slow to change her clothes. Pru will be here soon. You are ready to order drinks and snacks to entertain her."
"Okay." Taoxiang stuck her head out from the kitchen, "Master, would you like something to drink?"
"Give me a cup of hot lemon and salt." Ed frowned and closed his eyes, "I have a really bad headache."
Minerva thought how could he not understand, but he really didn't know how to make the girl give up other than pretending to be stupid and dragging him back. He also tried to stab Minerva when she was fifteen years old and talked candidly, but the girl's sobbing expression and desolate and hopeless consciousness immediately made him retreat and dare not take a step forward.
And the attitude of the family members is also inexplicable, not only a little meaning to watch the fun but not too big, but also a feeling like they are running on him. Lux said, "I promised her to leave it alone", and CC was even more mysterious, "You can do it according to your conscience." The only thing that could comfort him was—
"Just don't regret it yourself." An Qi rubbed his cheek affectionately and whispered in his ear, "I support all your decisions."
"You're still good, wait for me tonight." Ed patted An Qi's arm, and the latter retracted his arm knowingly to let him stand up, "Pru is at the door, I'll open it."
When he came to the entrance to open the door, Pru, who had a capable ponytail, greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Uncle Ed!"
"Long time no see!" Ed involuntarily relaxed when he saw Pru's energetic look, "Come in, Minerva is changing clothes, you may have to wait for a while."
"Mmmm!" Pru went into the house to change shoes with ease, and kept shouting from one sister to another.
Pru was two years older than Minerva and was nineteen this year. Although her body is fully mature, she has always been innocent and charming. Every time Eddie sees her, he will forget her actual age and can't help but want to touch her head.
"I heard Minerva say that she takes you out to play every other day?" Ed called the girl into the living room and sat down, "You will become a college student at the end of this month, but don't accompany Minerva all day. Nonsense, delaying your studies."
"No, no, Minerva is very good, she also urged me to preview my homework in college in advance." Pru took the drinks and snacks from Taoxiang and thanked him repeatedly, "It's... um, it's that Uncle Ed is too bad, I can't read the textbook."
"Huh?" Ed looked bewildered, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Isn't the Lingus transformation invented by Uncle Ed?" Pru puffed up her cheeks, "I can't understand it at all, I can't do a single question, the information I found on the Internet is also from heaven, and all the netizens complain like me. Is it something that people learn? Why is it so difficult in freshman year?"
"Of course it's because the more difficult ones are behind. The second year has Lingus' third theorem, the third year has the Lingus equations, and the fourth year has the Lingus ultimate gift package." Ed participated in the compilation of textbooks, so there are more Impression, "Uh, is it really that difficult? I think it's okay."
"It's over! You've chosen the wrong major! You're going to fail the class in your freshman year! Mom and Dad are going to be pissed!" Pru covered her head in despair, "Uncle Ed, there's a trick to Lingos transformation, right? There must be a trick! Otherwise, why can't I understand a single step?"
"You may not understand the concept, but it's really not difficult." Ed turned on the electronic screen covering the entire table on a whim, and began to draw on it, "Forget it, let me explain it to you, yes Like this…”
So Ed was so self-absorbed into the joy of speaking to Pru.
Minerva, who was on the second floor, was changing clothes in his room at this time, and the previous one was obviously not for outsiders to see. Let alone go out, she can't dress like that when there are guests at home.
Minerva had sensed that Pru was coming, but Uncle Ed would entertain Pru, so she was in no hurry. After so many years, she and Pru have become accustomed to the mode of getting along with her as the mainstay.
The girl took off her top, undid her skirt, and threw it on the bed. She turned around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and sighed as she looked at the charming body that no one in the mirror could deny.
"Sister Nanali, what should I do?"
It took her seven, no, ten years, countless efforts, and all means to settle Lux, CC, Angie, Alice, and Taoxiang with difficulty, but she made the most fatal mistake.
She originally thought that it was boiled frogs in warm water, and everything would come naturally. Who knew that it was not a frog at all but a fetal angel, the boiling point of the water was completely undercooked, and the other party even regarded the boiling water as a hot spring, and was indifferent to all kinds of physical stimuli.
"But there's no time left." The girl's guilt-filled voice echoed in the room, "Uncle Ed, please forgive me."
When Minerva changed her clothes and went downstairs, she happened to see Pru and Ed leaning close to each other. Ed said something with a high expression on his face, patted Pru's head from time to time, and Pru looked at him with a look of admiration and nodded again and again, showing a shy and proud smile when his head was touched.
A coolness rose from the tailbone straight to the forehead.
Pity her to protect against the sky and the ground, fire and theft, but forgot to protect the people closest to her. The facts in front of her told her that the plots in the soap operas that CC watched all day were not made up, but the valuable life experience that the screenwriters extracted from the history of blood and tears of countless sad women.
"I'm so stupid to forget Uncle Ed's drug-like attraction to female NewType." Minerva's eyes flashed coldly, "Pru, I thought you were a friend."
