When Xiao Ran and Leonard went back separately, Shirley Lu hadn't rested yet. Seeing Xiao Ran come back, she put down the game she was playing, looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "How is the situation?"
"It's not particularly good, but it's still controllable." Xiao Ran shook his head and told Shirley what happened at Chidori. After hearing this, Shirley was a little surprised and said, "Really Peers? Lacus and Shanamia are not in this situation either?"
"There are still some differences here. Shanamia and the others are just people from two different worlds, but for Chidori Kaname and Sophia, they are actually somewhat similar to the same person in soul. Chidori Kaname This is probably what Sophia imagined herself to be. You can think of this world as the world Sophia imagined."
Shirley shook her head: "This situation is too complicated, so which girl are you going to let us influence with our singing?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "After all, your singing has the effect of stabilizing the spirit and soul."
Shirley nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Then do you think Chidori wants this girl, and do you know your current situation?"
Xiao Ran groaned: "It's hard to say. It's still unclear whether Sophia's influence on Chidori is direct or subconscious. But according to our observations, it seems more like the influence is through the subconscious. Chidori is Among whisperers, the situation is quite complicated.”
Shirley shook her head, yawned slightly and put the game aside: "Okay, I understand. I will pay more attention to that girl. Go to bed early."
"Um."
There was nothing to say all night. When Xiao Ran woke up the next day, there was no trace of Shirley Lu beside him. He got up to wash and dress. Xiao Ran went downstairs again. When he got downstairs, he saw Rukino Saki sitting in the living room.
Xiao Ran asked: "Are you alone?"
"I'm the only one." Rukino Saki pursed his lips and said, "Shirley went to find Chidori and said she wanted to have a look. It seemed that she went with a few people from the Valkyrie Squad. And oh, in Captain Tessa from Mithril had already arrived when you were sleeping, and is now with Leonard. It seems that there are many people surrounding Leonard's house now."
Saying that, Saki stood up and said, "I'll make whatever you want to eat for you."
"Whatever." Xiao Ran waved his hand and sat on the sofa, his mind a little empty, waiting for Saki to make breakfast for him.
But before Saki came out of the kitchen, Shirley appeared in the living room. When Shirley Lu sat down next to him, Xiao Ran asked Shirley Lu: "Zingxiao said that you went to find Chidori. How do you feel about it?"
"A very lively and energetic girl, quite interesting." Shirley Lu said and couldn't help but laugh: "She's very energetic, and it's quite fun to be lively."
It took a lot of effort to have Shirley Lu specifically point out the situation. Xiao Ran could already guess what happened to Chidori. It must have been that Sosuke Sagara did something to make Chidori angry. As a result, Chidori couldn't control it. He got mad in front of Shirley and the others, and slapped Sosuke Sagara to the ground with a folding fan.
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. Chidori and Sagara Sousuke were so lively every day, and among ordinary people, only people like Chidori could endure and suppress Sagara Sousuke's personality.
Xiao Ran asked again: "What about the others? Do you think there is anything unusual?"
Shirley Lu thought for a moment and said, "I can't tell. I just feel a little bit mentally unwell and very tired."
Xiao Ran tapped his right hand twice on the armrest of the sofa: "That means Sophia still has a certain impact on her. Chidori's problem is not serious but it is serious, and it is serious but it can be dealt with. It mainly involves This person herself is more or less in trouble, forget it, I will have a good talk with her then."
Shirley crossed her legs and leaned against her, and said: "I made an appointment with Chidori and a few other girls to go to sea. Then we will try singing to see if it can help her. Do you want to come with us? Go?"
Xiao Ran was not interested in going to the sea or anything like that. Shirley Lu and the others went to the sea to relax and have fun, but they also wanted to try out the influence of singing on Chidori. Moreover, it was not appropriate for Xiao Ran to go there alone if they were all girls. Xiao Ran shook his head. : "I won't go, you just have fun."
Not long after, Valkyrie's people came to call Shirley, and Shirley went upstairs to get her clothes and left the villa. Sakuya took out the breakfast carefully prepared for Xiao Ran from the kitchen.
While I was eating, there were several more guests in the room. Leonard and Tessa came hand in hand, followed by Sosuke Sagara and Cruze. At this time, Sosuke Sagara's left cheek was still a little red. , he must have done something to make Chidori slap him.
Leonard walked up to Xiao Ran, who had just put down the tableware, and glanced at Xiao Ran: "I brought you here, and I have something to do next."
After saying that, Leonard turned around and left. He seemed a little cold and walked out of the door without even saying hello to Tessa.
Xiao Ran watched Leonard leave in a daze, and then looked at Tessa who was already sitting in front of him. Sagara Sousuke and Cruz were standing behind Tessa with their hands behind their backs like bodyguards. He paused and smiled and said: "What? The time has come, have you eaten?"
"I've been here for a while, sat at Leonard's place for a while, and had breakfast at his place." Tessa smiled gently at Xiao Ran, lowered her head and pursed her lips: "About Leonard, I want to say thank you. I can feel that Leonard has changed a lot in the past two years. If it were before, we would not have the opportunity to sit together and talk."
"That guy is just a little stubborn and arrogant. In fact, he has never cared less about you." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, glanced at his half-eaten breakfast, and said, "Don't mind if I finish the conversation and talk later. "
"It's okay." Tessa quickly raised her hand and waved it hurriedly: "Mr. Xiao Ran, just keep eating."
"Saki." Xiao Ran turned around and shouted: "Pour some tea for the guests."
After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Xangliang Sousuke and Cruz again: "You two don't have to stand here like guardians. Go and sit over there first. If you are required to protect Tessa in my territory, then They underestimate our power too much."
Sagara Sousuke didn't say anything yet, but Cruz's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course we believe that Mr. Xiao Ran is powerful enough to protect the captain, but it is also an order for us to protect the captain, so..."
Tessa didn't look back, she just lowered her head slightly and said softly: "It's okay, Cruz, Zongsuke, it doesn't matter what you say here, Mr. Xiao Ran will protect me."
"In this case..." Kuruz deliberately made an embarrassed expression: "Okay, then I understand, then we will wait for you outside."
After saying that, Cruz grabbed Sosuke Sagara and ran away quickly. From a distance, Xiao Ran heard Cruz's excited voice: "Swimsuit, swimsuit, I'm coming!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing. Now the entire area is blocked, and all the third-year students of Jindai High School are here. Naturally, there are a lot of female students. Cruz either saw something or heard something. With him His character is indeed one that would rush to the beach and embrace the sun.
Saki made tea and put the snacks on the table in front of Xiao Ran and Tessa. He gave Tessa a friendly smile and then left with the plate that Xiao Ran had finished.
Looking at Tessa, Xiao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment, but he arranged to call the person in front of him. If he wanted to leave Tessa aside without saying anything, it wouldn't feel right no matter how he looked at it. suitable.
After a pause, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something and asked: "Hey, by the way, Yani is with your Mithril now, right? I haven't seen her since I came back this time."
Yani, the Whisperer that Xiao Ran knew when he came to this world last time, was also the person who was protected by Lang Ba, a participant in the Burning Legion, during the last mission. At that time, all his family members died because of Xiao Ran's comfort. Yani regarded Xiao Ran as her brother, and Xiao Ran also treated him as a sister, but before leaving, he had entrusted Yani to Tessa to take care of her.
After experiencing so many worlds, Yani was more like a passerby to Xiao Ran, and she was indeed left out of memory. Xiao Ran only really remembered her after coming to this world for so long.
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Tessa responded and said: "Well, when you left before, our Mithril was always taking care of her, but then she officially joined our Mithril, and now she has become the most popular member of our Mithril." Important technical personnel have become a lot more cheerful and have made many friends. However, they are no longer on the Son of Danu and Merida Island. They are responsible for technical development work in another of our bases. If Mr. Xiao Ran wants to meet If she does, I can have someone pick her up.”
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head: "No, it's okay to know that she is doing well. After all, that girl treated me like an elder brother at that time. Don't worry now. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future, but then I will start from you." Mithril wants her here, so don’t be reluctant to let her go."
Tessa said quickly: "No, she was originally given to us by Mr. Xiao Ran to take care of. If she wants to leave with Mr. Xiao Ran, we will never have any objection."
After saying that, the two of them became silent again, which lasted for about three to five seconds. Xiao Ran found a new topic: "You and Leonard should have talked a lot when you met, so now you also Should I forgive him completely?”
"Yeah." Tessa nodded and said, "Leonard told me a lot of things, saying that I have grown up now, and he doesn't want to hide some things from me in the past. I also know that Lei Why did Nader want to join amalgam? What was his previous purpose? But I told him that the past is the past. It is precisely because of the past that we are what we are now. The good and bad have truly It has become a part of us. To deny the past and try to reset the world is to deny yourself, all previous efforts, all feelings and family ties."
"We should focus on the present and the future, instead of immersing ourselves in the irreversible past. Resetting the world will only allow all tragedies to happen again, and will not bring about any changes at all."
"That's right." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded: "Reynard has changed a lot now, and he doesn't want to reset the world."
"Well, he said that he was on the wrong path before, but now he has a new goal and will not make the same mistake again." Tessa raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran seriously: "Thank you Mr. Xiao Ran, it was you who made Leonard change."
Xiao Ran waved his hand gently: "It's not entirely because of me. At most, it just gave him a chance to see different things."
"And..." Tessa bit her lower lip and looked at Xiao Ran, and muttered: "He also said that I should stay away from you and not... like you. He also said that you have several wives. Is this true, Xiao Ran? gentlemen?"
"Uh." Xiao Ran had an awkward smile on his lips, nodded and said honestly: "Yes, I do have several wives."
Tessa's breathing quickened a bit, and she lowered her head sadly: "I knew that people like Mr. Xiao Ran would be very popular with others. Is it because my movements are too slow? No... It should be. There are no more opportunities to contact Mr. Xiao Ran."
Tessa was talking to Xiao Ran, but it was more like talking to herself as if she was distracted. Xiao Ran could only laugh when he heard these words.
When Tessa raised her head again, she didn't seem to know that all the words in her heart had been spoken out without restraint. She looked at Xiao Ran and said in a daze: "Mr. Xiao Ran, suddenly I also want to do it again. Once again.”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and Tessa also pursed her lips and smiled after seeing Xiao Ran's expression: "I'm just kidding, Leonard also told me about Xiao Yao. As a confider among the whisperers, not a listener, I have always been the most special existence among all the Whisperers, as well as Sophia and the matter of resetting the world. I already know these, but there are still many things I don’t understand in these words, but Reina De told me not to pursue too much. I will know one day, and I am willing to trust him on this."
"So next, Mr. Xiao Ran, how are you going to treat Xiao Yao? If one day Xiao Yao is influenced by Sophia, what will you do, Mr. Xiao Ran? Mr. Xiao Ran, I hope you can hand over Xiao Yao to our secret Silver, although Kaname may be safer under your protection, maybe she will be happier with Mithril.”
