She preferred to use her own green eyes to see with her own eyes Lu Mian and everything that Lu Mian had experienced.
Facing the question raised by Otto, Lu Mian thought for a moment and replied:
"It's probably about to disappear."
He didn't know whether the system simulation ended before or after the disappearance.
After all, this is really hard to explain.
Hence the only vague response.
But this response did not receive any response, just because...
Otto let go of all his reserve and threw himself into Lu Mian's arms. He didn't look like the flawless bishop who could bring light to the world, but more like the child who hadn't grown up and was building wooden airplanes in those old days.
When both the father and the child are men, such actions will only appear inexplicably awkward and unnatural.
But now, such concerns have apparently disappeared without a trace.
Come to think of it, she had envied Karin many times for being able to act like a spoiled child to Lu Mian like this.
Now I can say that I have finally gotten what I wanted?
Compared to the obviously excited Otto, Lu Mian was calmer but did not say much.
With an expression of unbreakable tenderness on his face, he patted the other person's slender back lightly and heavily.
At this moment, Otto suddenly felt a little...lucky?
Yes, I'm glad.
Fortunately, she had replaced the soul steel body with her own before coming here.
Otherwise, at a time like this, she would surely melt with happiness.
-----------------
The peaceful embrace between Lu Mian and Otto did not last long.
Otto, who was curled up in Lu Mian's arms and sniffing Lu Mian's scent, suddenly frowned slightly, as if he found something wrong.
The girl did not leave Lu Mian's arms, but buried her head deeper.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Why did she remember that the scent on Lu Mian's body was a faint orchid scent? Where did this scent of gardenia, which was equally elegant but completely different, come from?
With such doubts in mind, she asked in a low voice:
"Mian, what is this gentle gardenia scent on you?"
Hearing this, Lu Mian was stunned for a moment, but then he understood immediately.
Who else could it be? Raiden Mei.
He thought there was nothing to hide, and was about to answer, but suddenly he was stuck.
How can I say this in a way that doesn't sound weird?
Do I have to say something like "Otto, I found several mothers for you" openly?
Wouldn't that be a bit too weird?
No, it’s not a question of whether or not, it’s just very strange!
Lu Mian, who was stumped by the words for a moment, felt a lump in his throat and swallowed his saliva. He was actually sweating profusely.
In the eyes of Otto, who clearly felt this behavior, this was a guilty conscience.
Miss Green Lily didn't know what to say for a moment. She just felt a heaviness on her head, an inexplicable heaviness.
After a moment of silence, Lu Mian still hadn't thought of a perfect explanation, so he simply stopped worrying about it and changed the subject directly:
"Where's Kallen? Didn't she come back with you?"
After hearing this question, Otto finally pulled himself out of Lu Mian's arms.
She shook her hair, as if that could get rid of the invisible weight that didn't exist, "Well, Kallen was delayed for a while to help stabilize the new world line opened up by the bishop.
"It will probably take a while to arrive."
Lu Mian thought about the silly girl at home and nodded silently, but he pulled out a chair and asked Otto to sit down, motioning him to eat the cake.
After using this method to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of reopening the topic about Raiden Mei, he also sat down.
Otto looked at the cake on the table, then looked at Lu Mian beside him, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "This cake does look good, but - why do I remember that you didn't seem to like eating cake before?"
This time, Lu Mian looked at Otto who was a little suspicious and had something to say:
"Well, isn't Karen here? Think about it carefully. Do I not like to eat it or can't eat it at all?"
"Impossible. Even if Kallen is a big eater, she can never finish all the cakes." Otto looked determined.
A faint smile appeared on Lu Mian's face, "Then think carefully about who else was there at the time?"
After this, Otto was speechless.
Because she vaguely remembered where the remaining cakes went.
Oh, it turns out that she ate it herself.
That's fine.
So I started to taste the strawberry cake in front of me.
Lu Mian watched Otto eat the cake gracefully in small bites, and a happy smile appeared from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe, maybe people will always meet a few extremely special people in their lives.
Being with such a person, there are countless topics to talk about whether you are sitting or lying down;
Plants, trees, bamboos, and rocks, everything seems interesting.
This is what he thought, and this idea might not change, either now or in the long, long future.
What he didn't know was that the girl next to him who was tasting the cake had the same thought in her mind.
Chapter 32 How old is O (two in one)
Lu Mian and Otto didn’t spend much time together tasting the cake. Or perhaps such happy and sweet times are always short-lived.
After eating the piece of cake that Lu Mian had cut from the plate, Otto took out a handkerchief and wiped the cream stains from the corners of his mouth, then stood up gracefully.
It is obvious that he has the intention to leave.
Lu Mian hadn't finished his half piece of cake yet, so he simply gave up and stood up, "Are you leaving now?"
"Well," Otto nodded slightly, with a rare helpless and slightly bitter look on his face, "The 'mess' left by the bishop is really too much, so much that even I have to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with it."
At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and chuckled in a joking tone:
"When you decided to train and teach me, you didn't have the same awkward attitude as me now, did you? "
“Maybe it was like this at the beginning, but later on, I don’t know how, only one emotion remained.” Lu Mian also smiled, without hiding anything.
The time was too long for the two people present and could not be measured.
Lu Mian had a clear purpose when he first approached Otto.
But after the "snow globe incident", everything changed dramatically.
Here is a simple and clear example:
Before receiving the snow globe, Lu Mian had said a few correct but insignificant words to Otto, and that was it;
And after that, Lu Mian was even willing to sacrifice his own existence to heal Otto's legs that were unable to walk.
The world is complicated and difficult to understand, but there is only one thing that is very clear, that is, the feelings born in it are definitely not false.
Otto was extremely intelligent and naturally understood this truth.
No, it would be better to say that she always believed it.
After a long silence, Lu Mian scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed to speak, no longer as tall and reliable as he was in the past:
"Otto, you have grown up completely now, and you have the ability and qualifications to train and teach others, so you don't have to hold on to the words I said before, which even I may not be able to stick to.
"No matter what, I will be proud of you, and you will always be my pride, yeah, that's it."
Now he has completely lost the reason to be an elder. You must know that if you are old and not "dead", you are a thief, there is no need to act in pretentious manner.
But Otto obviously doesn't think so.
The girl picked up the man's big hand that had pulled her up little by little and pressed it against her chest.
There was indescribable tenderness and satisfaction in her voice:
“Although you are doubtful and always question your qualifications as my elder, in my heart I have already regarded you as my true relative.
"No one can replace you. It is because of your guidance that my life has a clear idea of what happiness is.
"If even someone like you is not qualified, I will become a broken screw and will not be able to function. This is my testimony."
Listening carefully, the words were exactly the same as the petition she had written herself.
Yes, if every sentence and every word can be said in person, who would use cold words and paper to carry the weight of emotions?
After venting all the emotions that need to be expressed, in order to avoid the feelings between each other becoming too sticky and indescribable.
Otto turned around and took a step forward. As she moved, her body began to emit fluorescent light, becoming half real and half virtual.
"If there is anything that is difficult to handle, come to me and I will handle it within three minutes and get rid of all the scum.
"Oh, by the way, don't cause too many deaths." After leaving these words, the first half of which gave people a sense of security, and the second half of which was meaningful, she completely disappeared without a trace.
But it made Lu Mian stand there awkwardly, not knowing how to react.
Should I be relieved or should I rush to explain something?
Oh, no need, they have already left.
In an instant, I was at a loss and overwhelmed by the faint sadness of parting.
Lu Mian remained silent, but he did not feel sad or even moved. There were two specific reasons:
First of all, he is no longer the kind of person who would be easily defeated by emotions.
Secondly, he had already met Otto, so he wouldn't be tortured by the anticipation of a reunion nor would he have to worry about anything.
The brief separation at this moment must be for a better reunion in the not too distant future, so wait and keep hope in your heart.
Thinking of this, Lu Mian turned around and prepared to clean the table.
However......
The table, which was supposed to have a whole cake and half a piece of leftover cake, became unexpectedly clean.
Seeing this scene, Lu Mian sniffed and suddenly smiled with relief.
This is quite different from the situation when the Fool took all the cakes.
At least at this moment he did not have the urge to curse. To be honest, ordinary friends are ordinary friends, and his own children are his own children. The two cannot be generalized.
But then again, could you please not be so picky?
At least leave him what he didn’t finish!
"Click——"
Just as Lu Mian was smiling but feeling helpless because of Otto's "eating and taking" behavior, a crisp sound of the door opening was heard.
Following the sound, I saw Tesla in pink bunny pajamas.
Tesla, who had obviously recovered from his insomnia, was in a very good mental state.
She leaned out of the half-open door, her brows full of hesitation and confusion, "Did anyone else come here just now?"
Lu Mian shook his head slightly and gave a negative answer.
