"Don't look like that. If you want, you can follow me and call her mom." Xilin said.
These words sounded generous and they really were, but Lu Mian was given up in terms of seniority anyway.
After all, if it really happened, the seniority among the families in the future would be more confusing than a tangled ball of wool.
Probably enough to be thrown to Beibeilong to play with...
Putting aside the issue of seniority that was about to become a mess because of Xilin's words, Kiana was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and didn't know how to respond.
Is it because I am at a loss, or is it because of the inexplicable desire and expectation for maternal love that is difficult to describe in words?
Maybe both.
After a long while, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, but she had lost her usual carefree and straightforwardness. The expression on her pretty face looked quite unbelievable:
"Sister Xilin, is this really okay?"
"Why are you being so polite to me? Have you seen those girls around my mom and Mian?
"They are not my mother's biological daughters, but now they have become a loving family, haven't they? What's more, you still have the relationship with Mian. Go up and call mom." Xilin's clear and crisp voice, which was both heroic and helpless, sounded faintly.
Under normal circumstances, Xilin would never be so "enthusiastic" to meddle in other people's business.
This abnormality probably occurred because she could understand Kiana and could spontaneously empathize with her deep desire for maternal love.
After all, from this point of view alone, they are actually the same.
Just like that, under Xilin's passionate "supervision" and urging, Kiana turned over and got out of bed, slipping on her slippers and moving step by step towards the direction of Meiya and Lu Mian.
Seeing this scene, Mei Ya, who had already learned the whole story from Lu Mian, smiled indescribably gentle and kind.
She looked at "her own girl" with such loving care until she took small steps to come in front of her.
There seemed to be a thousand kinds of hesitation hidden in Kiana's deep blue eyes, covering up the original clarity. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
Meiya was also silent, she just raised her hand slightly and made a gesture - she opened her arms, just like a mother opening her warm arms.
Looking at this embrace that was truly irresistible, Kiana felt that every cell in her body was beating with joy, as if saying:
"Don't hesitate any longer, forget everything and throw yourself into this embrace that is so warm just by looking at it."
She finally stopped hesitating and followed her true feelings into her mother's arms, timidly shouting:
"Mother."
Hearing this, Meiya smiled softly, and the tenderness hidden in her golden orange eyes seemed to solidify and drip down, "Good child, good child, I am here, always here."
As she spoke, she tightened her slender arms around the girl in her arms as if to provide evidence.
Kiana curled up in Meiya's arms, sniffing the unique fragrance of violets lingering at the tip of her nose, bared her teeth, and revealed a happy smile from the bottom of her heart.
Although the two people hugging each other look more like sisters who are no more than five years old, they can make bystanders feel the warmth that can only come between mother and daughter.
And such warmth will not make people feel any surprise or disharmony at all.
Just like everything is supposed to be this way.
Lu Mian, who was secretly observing from the side, also smiled when he saw this, and felt happy for the mother and daughter in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
In a sense, Cecilia is not a real mother to Kiana.
Meiya should be the one who should do it, huh?
wrong......
As we all know, Kiana, as the clone "k423", has the genes of both Xilin and Yulan Dell.
If you really want to say that, Xilin and Yulan Dell seem to be more suitable for which of the above positions and titles?
Hiss—No, I can’t think about it anymore.
If we continue to think about it, not only will Xilin and Yulandel be a generation older and on an equal footing with Maya and Cecilia, it will also make the already confusing generational structure even more confusing.
Thinking of this, Lu Mian slowly shook his head, dispelling the chaotic and complicated thoughts in his mind.
Then, he calmly took two steps back and brought Bella, Agatha, Aurora and Galina to his front.
"Just stay here and don't move. I'll find someone to arrange accommodation for you." After saying that, he picked up the clothes scattered on the side and walked out without looking back.
The four girls were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
After changing his clothes and leaving the dormitory, Lu Mian started walking towards the principal's office.
He could just arrange for Maya to stay in his dormitory, which wasn't a big problem.
The key issue is that in order to open a new teacher dormitory for Bella and the other girls, they have to ask Theresa, the "official" person in charge of St. Freya Academy, for permission.
So this trip is still indispensable.
Nothing special happened along the way, so Lu Mian was able to go directly to the principal's office.
Although all kinds of things had happened before, it was still morning and it was obviously not time for Theresa to start work yet.
Naturally, there was no one in the office.
Lu Mian took out his cell phone and checked the time. Hmm, it was around 7:30 in the morning.
If nothing unexpected happens like "reading Homo comics all night", it won't be long before Theresa starts work.
It’s not that I can’t wait.
With this thought in mind, he leaned against the wall of the corridor in the principal's office and looked through the system mall and the newly acquired abilities.
This wait took nearly twenty minutes.
Just before the clock struck eight o'clock, Theresa, who was not so careless as to be incomprehensible, walked over slowly.
The petite girl looked obviously sleepy and it seemed that she had just woken up not long ago.
Seeing the man leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for something, she yawned without hesitation and said incoherently:
"Um, Lu Mian? When did you come? Why are you waiting here? Why didn't you call me?"
“It’s not a big deal, and I’m just afraid of disturbing your rest, Theresa.” Lu Mian broke away from the dazzling system interface, stretched his body, and said with a smile.
It is really pleasant to hear such intimate and caring words from someone next to you early in the morning.
The sleepiness on Theresa's delicate face gradually faded away, and she put on a slightly happy smile. "You are quite considerate. But don't worry about my sleep problem. I can take a nap every now and then, and it won't affect my rest."
"Ah?" Lu Mian blinked and didn't react for a moment.
This, can this be said?
How different is it from saying "I'm actually not wearing anything today" when this comes from a leader who values "dignity"?
While Lu Mian was stunned, Theresa also discovered the unreasonableness in what he had just said.
She knew that she had said something wrong because she was too proud of herself. Her cheeks turned pale. She clenched her fists and put them in front of her lips. She coughed lightly and tried to make amends by explaining in a professional manner:
"What I just meant is that I created a more scientific and efficient sleep method to balance work and life. It can completely achieve the goal of not affecting work and life. You don't have to worry."
Although the relationship between the two is indeed very good, it is not good enough to the point where they cover themselves with a quilt and sleep in a "coffin" with their feet together, right?
It's like there's a thin layer of window paper. Even though it's easy to break through, it still has to be broken through first.
Therefore, before breaking through this layer, necessary face-saving work must be done.
After listening to Theresa's explanation, Lu Mian felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu while being speechless.
Why does this sleeping method look so much like the "Da Vinci Sleeping Method" he had heard of in his previous life?
Delici? Dafenza?
Lu Mian thought this for no reason, but he didn't just stand there and make the atmosphere awkward.
He raised his hands and clapped. Although it was a bit like he was coaxing a child, he was also indescribably serious:
"We are so lucky to have a principal like Theresa at St. Freya Academy. With time, our school will surely prosper!"
"Alright, alright, you know how to brag, come in and talk."
After responding with a double-talk, Theresa, who was obviously in a good mood, took out the key and opened the door of the principal's office. Then she walked in slowly with her slender and "delicate" legs.
In response, Lu Mian followed closely with a light smile on his face, not sure whether it was victory or winning the prize.
When they sat down on both sides of the desk, Theresa rested her face on one hand and placed the other hand flat on the desk, tapping the desk lightly with her index finger from time to time.
"Ta, ta, ta -"
Accompanied by the slightly dull sound of knocking on wood, she pursed her soft lips and deliberately put on a scrutinizing look, "It is said that 'no one comes to the temple for no reason'. You came here so early in the morning. It is impossible that you just missed me, right?
"Now, tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time? Let me tell you in advance, if you want to plead for my big niece, then forget it."
Kiana, this troublesome girl, scored 21 points in eight subjects in the written test, even though she got full marks in physical fitness test and combat test, and her history test score was a zero.
Such a situation cannot even be described as "abstract" or "unbelievable".
All I can say is that if Kiana is fine, all the teachers in St. Freya Academy, including the principal Theresa, should go and get killed by frozen tofu.
This is why Theresa was really angry.
However, after listening to Theresa's long speech, Lu Mian had a completely different feeling.
You know, he has been living in the simulated world with Xilin for more than ten years now.
If this length of time is applied to an ordinary person with a normal life span, it can be considered a long time.
After not seeing each other for a long time of ten years, he really missed Theresa in his heart.
Lu Mian also imitated Theresa, resting his hand on his face, his eyes flickering as he spoke slowly:
"Although this is not the purpose of this trip, if I really want to talk about it, I do miss you, Theresa."
"Bah, I'm afraid only ghosts would believe you. We haven't seen each other for a few days. Could it be that I am a succubus that can haunt you day and night?"
Theresa, who didn't know the whole story and was a little overwhelmed, started to complain.
As for the interesting question about "succubus", Lu Mian actually wanted to say "yes".
However, driven by the desire to survive, he forced himself to hold back, "So, Theresa, what do you want me to do to believe me?"
"Tsk, you, ah." Theresa looked at Lu Mian who was "unrepentant" and was not ready to give in. "You want me to believe that you really miss me? It's easy. As long as you come to see me once a day like you did this morning, and keep doing it for a hundred days, I will believe it."
After hearing these words, I was sure that the other party was a piece of wood that wished to rot in the training room every day, and would never do such a thing.
But seeing his eager look, she admitted that she was a little panicked, and quickly waved her hands and said:
"No, no, you don't really want to do what I say, do you?"
Hearing this, Lu Mian, who had never worked before and thought this novel way of clocking in was worth a try, scratched his head and asked, "Do you want to regret it?"
"I'm going to fight you, you big head!" Theresa, who couldn't control her temper for a moment, swore for once, then jumped off the office chair and walked to Lu Mian on her legs.
Lu Mian: (._.)
“Don’t look down on the principal!” Having said this, Theresa no longer cared about her image and rushed forward.
Fifteen minutes later.
After a lot of laughter and playfulness, Lu Mian and Theresa both entered a calm mode and naturally chose to call a truce.
So they began to tidy up their clothes which were quite messy due to various movements.
After smoothing out the wrinkles on her black nun's uniform, Theresa jumped out of Lu Mian's arms and returned to the principal's office chair.
She raised her slightly flushed face and said in a sweet and innocent tone:
"Stop making a fuss, stop making a fuss. Now it's time to tell me the purpose of your visit, right?"
After the laughter and playfulness, it’s time to get down to business, which is not a big deal.
Lu Mian tugged at his collar, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a gentle voice as if nothing had happened:
"It's still like I said, it's not a big deal - I just found a mother for Kiana."
"Ah? What did you say?" Theresa was a little confused for a moment.
Lu Mian's expression did not change at all, and even the tone of his voice did not fluctuate at all when he repeated his words, as if he was telling a trivial matter:
"I just said that I found a mother for Kiana."
