"Then how do you plan to solve it?"
"I should ask you this question!" Xia Yibing was so angry that she laughed. She grabbed the little crow, leaving only the bird's head sticking out.
"Why don't you explain it to me! Why would an accident happen when you get a low-quality imitation that you call 'has no risk'?"
"If I knew, this wouldn't be an accident!" The little crow struggled hard in her hands, "And how could you do this to your ancestors! You are such a traitor!!"
"Dinner is ready~"
Hitzfeld came out with a plate and called out from a distance.
"You can call Daryl down too."
"Although I understand that she won't get tired of being obsessed with books on human sociology, she should also remember to enjoy life."
Who has the heart to enjoy life now?
Xia Yibing let go of the little crow and felt her shoulders and expression collapse.
then……
eat.
At the dinner table, Hitzfeld was very active in serving food to them.
Daryl had no requirements for taste, but she liked brightly colored food, so she ate it with great pleasure.
As for Xia Yibing, it was obvious to the naked eye that she had no appetite.
"Xia, I have something to ask of you."
Seeing her like this, Hitzfeld put down his things and looked at her in a particularly serious tone.
"Hmm?" Xia Yibing raised her eyebrows. "Just say it."
"First of all, I want you to thank those who have been watching over me and protecting me during my problems."
The girl nodded very seriously.
"Including you, I am so grateful for this love."
"No problem, and this is what should be done..."
Xia Yibing didn't think it was a big deal.
Indeed, after all, this group of people don’t have much work to do. So who should they thank most for the fact that there is “no much work to do”?
Isn't it Eisun Hitzfeld?
All this is possible because of her efforts, so she really doesn't think it's worth being thankful for investing the free time in her.
"There is a second thing."
"Ah."
Xia Yibing picked up the water cup and took a sip, thinking nervously: She might be telling me a secret.
"Prusione gave me a list of materials."
"Ah."
"And all of you seem to be suggesting that I do nothing during this time and just go out and relax."
"Ah."
"I can promise you, but I have to add a condition."
"Ah."
"I want you to come with me."
"Uh-huh???"
Xia Yibing stared.
"Let me go? ... What should I do?"
"Of course, it's to make up for the honeymoon trip we talked about before."
Hitzfeld looked at her strangely.
"It's my duty as a lover and as a wife... It's a rare vacation, and you're not busy. This is a honeymoon trip just for the two of us."
"..."
Xia Yibing was no longer just shocked.
Damn...her pupils were shaking!
"Or do you not want it?"
Hitzfeld suddenly came closer, and the scent of magnolia quickly surrounded the woman's body and mind.
“Such a trip.”
"And what might be born during the journey..."
"New life."
Chapter 2 Empathy (Two in One)
At night, Xia Yibing suffered from insomnia again, which was a rare occurrence.
She used to suffer from insomnia frequently. Whether it was the blood feud she carried or the nightmare from which she drew strength, these things had been tormenting her for more than ten years. She could not remember how many times she had woken up from her dreams.
So...let's not talk about the past. Since the reason why she slept well was Hitzfeld, the reason why she couldn't sleep well should naturally be found from this aspect.
Xia Yibing felt that she didn't look down on Hitzfeld - yes, she didn't think so. She didn't think that Hitzfeld was so fragile that he would lose his mind and do something that was not good for himself... such as hurting himself.
But...right?
Whether it was an occupational disease or the concern of a lover for another, she couldn't completely ignore this possibility, right?
To put it in jargon, it means "I would rather prepare a hundred measures in advance that are unlikely to be used, rather than find out that I don't have one of them when I really need it."
That's why she even carried a gun with her when she went to the bathroom...so naturally she was very worried, and she couldn't sleep because of the worry.
Hitzfeld certainly noticed this.
She herself was not asleep, and she certainly didn't intend to sleep... Therefore, she could keenly perceive that every ten minutes or so, the bed on the right would tremble slightly.
Maybe Xia was turning over and changing positions. Hmm... If people can't fall asleep, it will be tiring to maintain the same position for a long time.
Even if you are just lying in bed, the nerves in your limbs will be tense for a long time and you will feel very uncomfortable.
To be honest, Hitzfeld was a little speechless.
I don't sleep because I am really energetic. After all, I just woke up in the afternoon and I don't feel sleepy at all now.
But what about you?
There were several times in her memory... She noticed that the woman pretended to be nonchalant while packing the pillowcase, as if she was going to wash it herself - she could actually guess why.
Really...I am so grown up but still act like a little girl.
When he tried to attack me, he knew how to act like an "adult", but why did he become so fragile without me?
Thinking to himself, "There's really nothing I can do about you," Hitzfeld quietly opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a flat, cylindrical small box, squeezed the lid tightly, and twisted it open.
I don't know what mechanism she triggered, the lid didn't get lifted, but a faint fragrance began to spread in the bedroom.
Hitzfeld waited for a while, probably counting about three minutes in her mind, then she got up to look at Xia Yibing and found that she had fallen asleep with the help of the fragrance.
Then there's no need for me to keep pretending to sleep.
Nodding with satisfaction, she got up and found some clothes to wear.
After returning from a shower in the afternoon, she was now wearing pajamas. After taking them off, she opened the drawer of her own half of the wardrobe, first found a pair of thick black stockings to put on, and then found a dark red waisted long skirt.
I still chose a white shirt, but it's already autumn, right? It's going to be cold outside at night, so... there's a dark red long-sleeved coat here?
Are they a set?
After a moment's pause, Hitzfeld had no recollection of ever buying such clothes.
Did Xia buy it?
That should be it. She’s the only one who knows my exact size… Well, maybe she measured it by hand…
I was having some random thoughts, but I was really surprised because I seemed to have never worn a red dress before.
Even if it's a slightly darker red hue, I always wear black, let alone red, I'm lacking in any color.
Maybe she wanted me to be more lively.
Ah...then she should be able to get what she wants this time.
I was thinking while putting on my clothes, and when I came to my senses, the girl in the mirror was already dressed.
In addition to the outfits mentioned above, she also had a red felt hat on her head.
This hat is quite thick... It's perfect for autumn, but I don't know if it's useful in extremely cold places. Maybe I can try it out soon...
After turning around in front of the mirror a few times, especially gauging her flat and slender belly with her hands, and pulling the fabric to her waist to highlight the outline of her belly, Hitzfeld nodded, picked up a long-handled umbrella, changed his shoes, and went out.
It often rains in Wayne in autumn. Although it is not heavy, she doesn't want to get wet.
Wearing brown thick-soled short boots, when she walked out of the narrow corridor of No. 221, she heard the sound of flapping wings coming down from above.
It's the Blood Crystal Crow.
The little crow identified her location, landed directly on her shoulder, and whispered, "You even didn't allow the mechanical maid to follow you... What on earth are you going to do? Why do you deliberately hide it from everyone?"
"Dairyelle has her own consciousness. She is not some mechanical maid."
"It makes no difference... And isn't that the point? It's just because she's aware of your behavior that it's even more outrageous!"
"Because I'm not doing anything dangerous." Hitzfeld was a little confused. "Every one of you is acting as if I'm seeking my own death. So I'm so fragile in your eyes? Don't I even have the right to take a walk in the middle of the night?"
"Are you sure you were just taking a walk?"
"I'm 100 percent sure."
"Okay then." Crow finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead - I'll just stay here. Don't worry, I won't ask you anything. You can just pretend I never came down."
Hitzfeld felt that Ms. Yusilian was very good at telling jokes, and suspected that she was able to trick the Goddess Jiyang into dating her because of her unusual sense of humor.
She started walking.
Go straight along the street.
She had walked this road before. In front of it was the Shuzi River with a stone bridge over it... There was also a park nearby, which was perfect for a walk in autumn.
Because the weather is just right, as long as you wear more clothes, you won't be hot or cold, and there are not many mosquitoes in the grass. Sometimes I stop on the stone bridge and look at the river. A cool night breeze blows towards me, blowing my hair away, and I feel like I'm about to let out a feeling.
"crown."
Standing on the stone bridge, Hitzfeld suddenly spoke.
"What have you done with the crown?"
"It's sealed." said the crow.
"Very cautious."
"After all, it is a dangerous device that can cause the 'Mysterious Master' to fall. Before we understand the principle and the condition of the person involved, no one dares to touch it rashly."
"Really? A wise choice..."
The crow turned its head to look at her, its beak opening and closing, and opening and closing again, with the words "I want to ask you" written on its face.
"You want to ask me?"
Hitzfeld smiled, but he didn't look at her, he was still looking at the water.
"Ask me what happened next..."
"There's nothing to hide." She tried her best to keep her tone calm. "I saw my mother at the root."
"Oh." The crow responded reflexively.
"..."
"..."
silence.
