Lux leaned against the window in the corridor, looking at the starry sky outside with a little melancholy. The hourglass-shaped wreckage in the distance can barely be discerned in the field of vision. As the Eternal gets closer and closer to Junius 7, the hourglass gradually becomes larger in the eyes. She couldn't hear the voice of any deceased, but her heart was still as heavy as she felt the load of 240,000 souls.
When I saw Aslan just now, he had a very sad expression on his face, thinking of his deceased mother. Aunt Sarah died on the blood-stained Valentine's Day, so Uncle Sarah couldn't forget hatred, but Aslan was a gentle child who only learned to be sad, not hatred.
"You have become the pilot of the Freedom Gundam, shouldering the responsibility of protecting PLANT. Aunt Sarah will smile and bless you when she looks at you now in heaven." She comforted Aslan, "It is because We understand pain, and you should use your own strength to protect the hard-won peace, right?"
Seeing Aslan leave with a relieved expression, she felt much better. It's not hypocrisy, it's just the natural empathy of being a human being.
She knows the power of her voice and words, and she knows how to use that power. Sometimes it's her armor to protect herself, sometimes it's her weapon of wits, sometimes it's her inspirational tool, but today, she doesn't use that power.
Politicians don't need lovers and friends, so she never fell in love or made any friends. But she and her father made an agreement to strive for her own happiness. Even if there is no way to choose the person you like at will, after you choose it, you can slowly fall in love with each other, right
Show your sincerity to gain trust, become friends with common topics, try to like each other and make them like you - three steps, the perfect plan.
She has no experience in this kind of thing, but she thinks it shouldn't be difficult with her own emotional intelligence. Mr. Ed seems to have always had a prejudice against her, thinking that everything she did was acting, he didn't hide it well, and she could easily see it. The solution is simple, just don't act, so Mr. Eddy will immediately see that she has a different attitude towards him, and then everything can go smoothly as planned.
"Hello, Mr. Ed." She greeted the passers-by with a smile, and the other party responded politely, but seemed a little absent-minded, and Mr. Bodyguard consciously stood farther away. She investigated the identity of the bodyguard and was surprised to find that it was the King of Phantom Shooting who had just been released from prison. As the former ACE of the Federation, is the other party condescending to be a bodyguard because of Mr. Ed's identity or personality
She noticed that the other party's eyes were on her hair card, and she was wearing the hair card he gave him before. She didn't mean to please him, she didn't need to do such a thing, but she really liked the style of the card.
This is the first step in planning and a good starting point. She likes the card issued by the other party, which shows that the aesthetic level of both parties is very similar, which is a good start. What she has to do is to convey to the other party that she really likes this card issuance, so as to dispel the other party's wariness and shorten the distance.
"I changed the hairpin that Mr. Ed gave me." She tilted her head in the direction of the hairpin, and her long hair fluttered gently. This is a very cute gesture. Focus on yourself, "I love this card."
The person in front of him swayed for about a second in his cute posture, and then immediately returned to his original appearance. She understands that the influence of appearance is always limited. For example, Aznabu is never moved by his appearance, and always looks like "If you continue to act, I will see and not speak". But that's okay, she's got a trump card.
"This hairpin is very similar to the one before, but it looks more cute." She said in her most sincere tone without any acting skills, "Did Mr. Ed choose the crescent shape because he was born in the moon?"
"Actually, I didn't think too much about it, but this one seems to be more pleasing to the eye." The person in front of him smiled shyly, and he probably wasn't very good at dealing with girls, which was different from Aslan's kind of woman who had a good relationship.
But the look she knew was exactly the same as Aznabu's, "I acted, all acted, I just pretended not to notice." I was used to dealing with this kind of attitude before, but I don't know why it seems so dazzling at this moment. His sincere tone didn't play any role, and in the eyes of the other party, it seemed that there was no difference from his acting skills all the time.
"It seems that our aesthetics are very similar, I really like this style!" This is the most sincere tone she has ever used to anyone other than her father, she just wants to convey the fact that she likes this card very much Just, is it difficult? Why is Mr. Ed still acting and turning a blind eye
"Oh, so, I'm glad you like it." Why, why do you have to put on an expression that matches my role
"Did Mr. Ed tell his father that the war has never changed?" She looked at Junius 7 in the distance and tried to change the subject. It is difficult to show the difference in such trivial things as liking issuing cards. She needs something that allows her to show her emotions. This is what she is most confident and moving. "Are you a pessimist? I still believe in the existence of peace."
"It's not that I don't believe in peace, it's just that I think war is a natural phenomenon that cannot be eliminated. Permanent, absolute peace cannot be achieved."
"But even so, I want to do my best to fight for peace, and I don't want this to happen again. This is my original and most important ideal." She looked at the wreckage of the big hourglass with heavy sadness Emotions slowly overflowed unconsciously. This is her father's ideal and her ideal, and this sense of grief and mission has always been the source of her strength.
Just like that, he should be able to understand, right? He is not a politician without blood and tears, and he also has deep emotions as the core. This is her wholehearted, unreserved, truest self.
"It's a lofty ideal, as expected of Mr. Klein's daughter." Insincere words.
She turned her head to look at the people beside her, and was instantly occupied by an annoyed mood. Why is he still looking at me with this expression? Are women who tell lies not qualified to tell the truth
As the conversation continued, a growing sense of powerlessness enveloped her. No matter what she said or did, the other party always responded with a "you did a good job". I'm not acting anymore, I've tried so hard to show my sincerity, can't you see it
She didn't want to keep trying. She is a smart person, there is no need to entangle, it is impossible to say "I didn't act please believe me" such nonsense. The conversation between the two has already come to a conclusion.
I am caught in a paradox, when the other party insists that everything she does is acting, no matter what she does, nothing can prove that something is not acting. Unless he suddenly becomes a new human, there is no way to convince him that he really just likes this card. Not only that, every word she said could not prove to the other party that she was sincere. No exaggeration, no fuss, just a simple inference that anyone with a normal IQ can draw.
Is it so difficult to exchange sincerity for trust
She had never had such a need before, she always thought it was simple. Now when she does have it, she finds that she can't do it at all. It doesn't even make sense to blame the other party, she herself doesn't know how to prove her sincerity. When every expression and every lie is as perfect as the truth, every truth will turn into a lie, right? What a simple truth. Children who lie too much will be eaten by the big bad wolf sooner or later. It turns out that I have long since lost the qualification to tell the truth.
Opinions and emotions are completely impossible to convey to the other party. She thinks the other party is an interesting person, so what? The other party couldn't believe it at all. In the eyes of the other party, all her performances are not out of self-expression, all are acting. Even if she really likes each other one day, she will be regarded as acting when she confesses, right? Even if you really marry this person, your performance in bed will be regarded as acting, right? Is it any different from choosing Aznabu to live a day of mutual suspicion and different dreams
So lucky or something is really a fool's dream. The daughter of a politician is a curse that has no solution. It is probably the best choice to choose someone who has no opinion for a lifetime. But is Aslan a good match? The unprincipled marionette is just another extreme compared to Aznabu.
It turned out to be like this, it turned out that I had no choice at all from beginning to end. I have always thought that politicians do not need friendship and love, but that is just self-deception. It is not that they are not needed, but they are simply not available. Losing the qualification to be happy is a necessary price for politicians.
The same is true for my father. The fact that he has no friends is the best proof. Besides, does he really love his mother? He can't be trusted with his lies. If you can't do it yourself, why would you be so hard on your daughter
These are meaningless at all. After I go back, I will explain it to my father, and choose according to the interests. This is the easiest.
"Mr. Ed, I have to prepare for the next activities. I'm sorry to excuse me." She showed a relieved smile, saluted Ed and turned to leave. That's fine, it's long overdue.
"Doctor, are you making Miss Klein unhappy? Why didn't you say a few words?" The voice of Mr. Bodyguard came from behind, "Do you want me to teach you a few tricks?"
"Don't make trouble." It was his voice, which was so far away that she couldn't hear it clearly, but she didn't care much anymore, "...Is it an illusion...I like...issuing cards..."
By now…
She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to turn around. It's meaningless, just be yourself, you have always been a woman with deep scheming, and will always be in the future.
The Eternal arrived at the Junius 7 site shortly after. Lux gave a touching speech in public. Many crew members were deeply moved and left tears of sadness, but more importantly, they found the strength to stay true to their original aspirations and forge ahead in their grief, and became stronger and stronger. more united. Then, under her leadership, the entire crew observed a three-minute silence in front of the wreckage of the satellite.
There is not much content in the activity, and it will end smoothly soon. Lux, who returned to the cabin, was not in the mood to do anything serious. She turned on the computer and fiddled with her hair while doing nothing. My finger accidentally touched something hard, ah, it's a hairpin...
Thinking about it carefully, I haven't thanked me properly after receiving this gift. For her well-educated family, this is something she can't say no matter what. It's still early before the break, so let's go and say thank you formally, that's all.
Outside Ed's cabin, she took a few more deep breaths, and then pressed the pager on the door: "Mr. Ed, are you there? I'm Lux Klein."
The electronic door opened in response, and Mr. Ed and his bodyguard sat opposite each other in the room. When they saw themselves coming in, they both stood up at the same time.
"Miss Klein, please come in." Mr. Bodyguard invited himself in and walked out, "Doctor, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter and went back to the room, come back right away!"
She laughed a little at the bodyguard who left in a hurry. Is this still the famous King of Phantom Shooting? But in this way, this person probably respects Mr. Eddard very much, otherwise it would not be so obvious that he would not care about his own face at all.
"Lux, the speech just now was great." It's still the same expression, I should have known it earlier, "Is there anything you need to find me at this time?"
"It's not a particularly important thing." She gave a skilled, formulaic smile. "I suddenly remembered that I didn't thank Mr. Ed for his gift once. I'm so rude."
"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."
"But etiquette is still very important, thank you for your birthday gift, Mr. Ed. I-" She was unwilling, and she wanted to try one last time, just once. My father said that it doesn't matter if you are a little willful, but this It's time to look good. "—I really like this hairpin, it's cute."
It's still the same smile as before. It's cute, charming, and charming, and it's hard to tell whether it's real or acting. I'm sorry, I really only have this kind of smile.
"Actually, I picked this card at random. It's not as thoughtful as you think. I felt a little guilty before." The person in front of him showed a confused expression for some reason. You just keep acting" and it's all over. But he just didn't, why, why did you suddenly laugh, "I don't know if it's an illusion, today's Lux is a little different. But I always feel that you really like the way it looks, so I'll be very happy. ."
Please don't use such cunning words! It can be misunderstood!
Confused in her mind, she didn't know what to think or how to organize the language. She seemed to have used up all her courage and blurted out, "I—"
"—Level 1 Alert! Level 1 Alert!" The dazzling emergency lights came on, the cabin door was automatically locked, and the broadcast sound was deafeningly loud, "The intruder was found, the number of enemies is unknown, weapons are expected, and there are traces of engagement near the cargo hold. All non-combatants please stay indoors until the alarm goes off! Repeat, level 1, level 1…”
