Caesar moved a folding round table out of the shed and several bamboo chairs. Several bottles of champagne were placed on the table.
On the island, under the stars, there seemed to be darkness, and only the indescribable warmth outside this small shed.
After a busy day, Caesar sat on a bamboo chair and took a sip of champagne.
He usually likes to have big parties, but an evening get-together with just a few friends seems pretty good. The quiet island seems far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.
Chu Zihang placed a plate full of skewers on the table and waved to Brother Lu to come over and start the meal further.
After Lu Chen told Eri Yi to be careful when getting out of the pot, he also walked outside. The sea breeze was gentle and the stars were bright.
"The college certainly didn't expect us to live such a cool life in Japan."
Caesar smiled, picked up a skewer of fattened beef, and flicked it all the way to the bottom. It didn't quite fit the eating style of a noble young master.
"Brother Caesar and Brother Chu's craftsmanship is amazing."
Lu Chen also stroked a bunch, gave a thumbs up, and then took a sip of champagne, feeling that the ultimate enjoyment in the world was nothing more than this.
This scene was still the most familiar to him. After completing the mission, leaving the battlefield, eating and drinking on the roadside with his friends, he couldn't help but recall the good times of the past.
At this time, Eriyi came over, carefully holding a plate. On it were strings of cooked meatballs, still steaming. With an expectant look on her face, she looked at a few people, and finally her eyes stopped again. On Godzilla.
"Eriyi special offer, it must be delicious."
Lu Chen smiled, took the plate, and placed it on the round table. He picked it up and was about to bite it, but under the girl's gaze, he stopped and blew on it gently before carefully biting off the first meatball.
It is smooth in the mouth and firm when you bite it. The meat juice slowly spreads in the mouth. The moderate salty aroma fills the mouth, making people have to say, "delicious!"
"Eri is so awesome."
Under Lu Chen's praise, a smile appeared on the girl's face and she sat down next to Lu Chen.
However, someone added, "She will definitely be a good bride in the future."
It's Caesar.
Lu Chen was a little confused and glared at Caesar. Caesar just smiled indifferently and raised his glass: "Celebrate the victory of our mission."
They solved the second-generation ancient dragon hidden in Mount Fuji, prevented the eruption of Mount Fuji, and saved many Japanese people. It was indeed a great victory.
Among them, Lu Chen and Hui Liyi contributed the most.
After Eriyi picked up the orange juice, she stopped again and looked at the ** in the hands of Godzilla and others. It was obviously different from hers.
"What's wrong? Eriyi?"
Lu Chen asked when he saw that Eri Yi didn't clink glasses.
Eriyi put down the orange juice and wrote in her notebook: "I want to be like Godzilla."
She pointed at the champagne in Lu Chen's hand, her face slightly bulging, and she looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said earnestly: "Eliyi is not eighteen years old yet, so you can't drink."
It's not like he hasn't learned basic common sense since he came to this world. Moreover, it seems that in Japan you have to be 20 years old to drink.
Eriki looked down at the orange juice in the cup, then looked up at Lu Chen. Her pretty face seemed to be more bulging, as if she was holding her breath.
She wanted the same drink as Godzilla.
"Okay, since there are no outsiders here, let's just be accommodating."
Caesar smoothed things over by saying that in the mixed-race world, some things really don’t need to be so strict. The girl in front of her is the supreme leader of mixed-races in a sense, and this bit of alcohol is nothing to her.
He himself was a teenager when he ransacked the stallion's cellar, opened a bottle, took a sip, and then poured it out.
As he said this, he also winked at Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang usually didn't understand the meaning of Caesar's eyes, but today he understood it and nodded: "Brother Caesar is right."
"Okay, okay, just a little bit."
Under Hui Liyi's gaze and Caesar Chu Zihang's advice, Lu Chen compromised.
After taking another glass and pouring half a glass of champagne, Eri held the glass with both hands with satisfaction.
If Yuan Zhisheng were here, even if he couldn't defeat him, he would probably have already raised his sword and went into battle.
He never expected that Lu Chen, a seemingly honest and courteous young man, would actually let Eriki drink!
However, Yuan Zhisheng was still walking through the night in Tokyo in the cold wind, fighting wits and courage with the remnants of the fierce ghosts...
After three drinks, everyone had eaten and drank enough. Caesar and Chu Zihang began to "close the stall", while Lu Chen and Hui Liyi went for a walk on the beach on a moonlit night.
Looking at the young girls who were gradually being swallowed up by darkness on the beach, Caesar lit a cigar and blew out a long stream of smoke.
"Brother Chu, what do you think this girl will do if she goes to college?"
Chu Zihang's hand that had just put out the fire paused, "You know this is impossible. According to the Abraham Contract, her bloodline will be sentenced to life imprisonment by the secret party."
Yes, although he and Caesar tried their best to assist Brother Riku and Eriki, they both knew that this was probably impossible.
Caesar was silent for a few moments, then sighed and said, "But I don't think Brother Lu thinks that way. He doesn't know it himself, but I know that he has fallen in love with that girl."
"Wrong love may be fruitless."
Chu Zihang pushed the grill back into the shed.
"But haven't you been very cooperative recently?"
Caesar smiled, as if he could see the insincerity of Chu Zihang's words.
"I said maybe, and since Brother Lu likes it, I will help him."
Chu Zihang put down the grill, returned to the round table and sat down. Under Caesar's surprised gaze, he opened another bottle of champagne and filled his glass.
Caesar snapped his fingers, sat down and filled his own cup, "I wish Brother Lu success."
Chu Zihang raised their glasses and clinked their glasses, and the two drank it all in one gulp. Then they both looked in the direction where Lu Chen and Eli Yi left.
Brother Lu, none of us mentioned Eriki's story, but with such a big movement in Mount Fuji, it's probably... impossible that the academy doesn't know about this girl's existence.
Even if the secret party doesn't attack, it will be difficult for you to take this girl to fly freely in the vast world.
But we still hope that you can harvest your own love... even if it is short-lived.
…
The full moon and stars fall on the sea surface, and little bits of light are reflected.
Because the temperature dropped after nightfall, Eriyi tied a white pleated skirt around her waist and covered her body with Lu Chen's coat.
Teenagers and girls walk on the beach at night, and they can feel the warmth of the sun during the day when their feet step on the sand.
The natural scenery of the undeveloped island is indeed dazzling during the day, but it is deep and dark at night, which is not really a good place for a walk.
Lu Chen held Eri Yi's hand, and the two stopped and faced the sea. After nightfall, the direction of the sea breeze began to gradually change, blowing from land to sea, as if there was a force pushing them to the sea.
It is difficult for people who have never faced the sea at night to understand this feeling.
There is endless darkness in front of you, and the sound of sweeping waves echoes in your ears, telling the turbulent waves in the depths of the darkness, like a huge mouth of an abyss that can swallow everything, unconsciously stimulating fear in people's hearts.
Erika's body was shaking slightly, and she didn't know whether it was the cold night wind or the frightening darkness.
But that only happened for a moment. The warmth from her hands calmed her down, making her forget the endless darkness and only focus on the stars reflected on the sea.
Neither of them spoke, one couldn't speak, and the other didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Eriki took out Lu Chen's mobile phone from her coat, activated the screen and illuminated the girl's face. She typed on it, and then turned the phone over to show it to Godzilla.
"It's beautiful."
It's still the same. It's not that I think it's ordinary, but because of this girl's vocabulary, she doesn't know much rhetoric. If she says it's beautiful, that means it really feels beautiful.
But in fact, this black tide did not look beautiful to Lu Chen, and even he felt inexplicable fear deep in his heart.
Eriki said that the scene in front of her was beautiful, just because there were people around her, fear was removed, and only beauty remained in her eyes.
Eryi took back her phone, and the light from the screen illuminated the girl's face again. Lu Chen looked at the girl and said with a smile, "It is indeed beautiful."
However, at this moment, the mobile phone beeped. From the side angle, Lu Chen saw that it was a message from Norma. It seemed that the mission was over.
Eryi was stunned for a moment, but did not click on the email. Instead, she continued typing in the notepad, and then held it up to show Lu Chen.
"The world is gentle."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that a girl would see the world this way.
Because in Lu Chen's view, the world is cruel. No matter it is the past life or this life, a peaceful world or a war world, the world has always been cruel.
If the world wasn't cruel, how could it let him experience such a helpless past? If the world wasn't cruel, how could a gentle girl be doomed to that damn fate from birth, trapped in a cold room, day after day? Yearning for the beauty outside day after day.
Lu Chen once had a good teacher, many wise elders, and companions who shared life and death. Therefore, despite hardships, he still stuck to his heart and never became cynical.
But even he would lament the cruelty of the world in the quiet night in that steel cage.
But the girl in front of her doesn't seem to have this emotion. Precisely because she has never seen the wonders of the world, she will feel satisfied as long as she goes out and takes a look. Every time she goes out is a wonderful adventure for the girl. Adding magnificent colors to her life.
She seems to feel that every time she goes out is a gift from the world, so in her eyes, the world is beautiful and gentle.
Lu Chen sighed in his heart. He didn't want to refute the girl. He hoped that the world in her eyes would always be gentle.
But the girl continued typing on the phone. When she raised the phone, under the dim light, Lu Chen saw the fleeting loss.
"But the world doesn't like me."
As if he felt like his heart was struck by thunder, Lu Chen was stunned by those seven short words.
Perhaps in the girl's mind, she can't go out to play because her bloodline is unstable, because she might hurt people when she opens her mouth, and because one day she might lose control and hurt the "gentle" world.
It's all her own fault.
Eriki has always been very obedient. She will be obedient and not run around. She will be obedient and "work" for the family. She will be obedient... and blame herself for all mistakes.
So good...it's heartbreaking.
This silly girl won't say "It's not me, it's the world that's wrong." This kind of secondary comment, she is so gentle that she thinks everything is gentle, and it's not the gentle world that's wrong, but her.
But, silly girl...
Where did you go wrong
Lu Chen opened his arms and hugged Eli Yi into his arms without any rebuttal. The huge black waves of the rising tide lapped at the feet of the two of them and spread over the corners. The cold sea water seemed to silently tell the coldness of the world.
“If the world doesn’t like you, then the world is my enemy.”
The tone was calm, without any gnashing of teeth or seriousness, as if he was stating an ordinary trivial matter.
Such words were a little too chubby in the Japanese comics he and Fingel watched, but he was serious. The reason why chuuni was a chuuni was because he didn't have the ability to speak arrogantly.
Lu Chen is not arrogant, and he doesn't think he can really fight against the so-called "world", but even if the world is as huge as a frenzy, if he wants to crush this girl, in front of his cold black reef, Do you want to pause first
After a long time, the two separated, and Eriyi typed on her mobile phone: "I am very happy these days. I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery, played a lot of new things, and eaten a lot of delicious food."
Lu Chen didn't say anything, and Eryi continued typing.
"I know Godzilla you have your own mission, and you brought me out to play. I caused trouble for Godzilla, and I also caused trouble for my brother."
"Godzilla is leaving tomorrow, right? It's time for me to go back. I'm really happy these days. Thank you Godzilla. I'll remember this..."
Eriki's hand stopped typing because a steady and strong hand grabbed the phone, interrupting Eriki's movements.
With a gentle smile on his face, Lu Chen touched Eli Yi's head with his other hand, "Silly girl, how can you cause trouble to me?"
He paused, let go of the phone, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "But we did cause a lot of trouble to Brother Chu and the others, but I believe they don't care too much."
The night wind seemed to blow more violently, and the temperature dropped further. Lu Chen stretched out his hand to close the collar of Eli Yi, and hugged Eli Yi into his arms. He turned his back to the wind, and his body temperature was rising. Even the coldest cold could not penetrate his warmth.
"Eri, you know, the world is actually very big. You think I am omnipotent and knowledgeable, but in fact, half a year ago, I was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the market."
Eriki said nothing, feeling the cold wind blowing on her face, but her chest was filled with the warmth coming from Godzilla.
"I entered Kassel College, went on missions around the world, saw various scenery, ate unique food, and watched the dreamy sea of clouds floating through the window on the plane with my friends."
Lu Chen's voice was very low, but the wind could not carry it away because the source of the sound was too close to the girl, so close that it could directly penetrate the girl's soft heart.
