That look was as if something had been confirmed in silent understanding.
Tesla stretched his head, taking in everything in front of him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
She shrank back hastily, hugged her shoulders, glanced at the smiling Einstein and Lu Mian, and said hastily:
"What do you want to do? I warn you not to mess around!"
The result of the soft-spoken "threat" that sounded unfounded was the next move by the two people who were already smiling and ready to make a move.
five minutes later.
Tesla stood in the living room and silently stared at the red gift box lying on the floor. It was said to be a gift box, but in fact it looked more like a sliding-lid coffin.
Then he looked at Lu Mian and Einstein, who were making the "please" gesture in unison on both sides of the gift box, as if they were about to send someone away happily.
A long time, a long time.
Her bright and ruby-like eyes gradually lost the last bit of light, "I am really crazy, letting you two crazy people, a perfect match, play with me like this.
“It’s fine if we were joking around normally, but now you want me to sleep in this canopy coffin that Otto and Babar were researching.
"I am truly Amenus! A Degrami!"
That’s right, after obtaining the key information, psychologist Lu Mian and genius girl Einstein came up with the optimal solution.
That is: let Tesla lie down in the red gift box where he finally fell asleep peacefully and try to see if he feels sleepy. If not, make other plans.
Looking at Tesla, who had a cute expression that said "I've read a lot, don't try to fool me", Lu Mian and Einstein looked at each other in silence, both feeling helpless.
In the end, it was Lu Mian who spoke up:
"Well, Dr. Tesla, why don't you give it a try? This 'little box' is very breathable. Maybe it will be your permanent home in the future? It doesn't cost any money or cost any money to try it.
"If there is any shame, it should be me and Dr. Einstein who are the two who strongly recommended you to lie down in it."
"No, sometimes it is more shameful to go along with the evil. But I can't beat you, so let's try.
"Lu Mian, if this method doesn't work, you better protect your family." Tesla finally chose to obey.
There may have been many reasons for obedience in the past, but now there is only one, and only one:
She really didn't have the energy to curse or struggle anymore.
At this moment, Lu Mian, who was originally smiling, looked a little lingering.
He looked out the balcony window at the starry sky and the lonely moon, and fell into a trance. "My family members are so far away from me now. You can't find them."
Lu Mian could clearly sense that the time for him to reunite with Otto and Kallen would not be far away.
After all, the Fool had already embarked on his journey homeward, to the tree, under the possibility provided by Otto.
But it is precisely because of this that the wait before this will become even more unbearable.
Inevitably, I arbitrarily expect to meet again in the next second, and then inevitably I arbitrarily feel disappointed.
As long as we are still alive in this world, there will inevitably be the next second, and the next second...
At the same time, various scenarios that might occur when we meet again keep flashing through my mind, and then I deny them one by one.
This perhaps meaningless cycle repeats itself over and over again.
By analogy, it is naturally unbearable.
Missing someone is magical, isn’t it?
Lu Mian was missing Otto and Karin, whom he would meet again soon, but he didn't know how long it would take.
But Tesla obviously misunderstood. She, who was usually careless and rarely attentive, covered her mouth with her hands and said hesitantly:
"I'm sorry, I don't know..."
Even though she usually speaks the truth and likes to speak sweet words, she is still very nice to her friends.
This kind of offense is still too severe.
"So Dr. Tesla, are you going to become my new family member driven by 'guilt'?" Lu Mian didn't explain anything. Instead, he asked this question with a playful smile and without any seriousness.
As expected, as soon as these words came out, all the apologies in Tesla's heart disappeared, and turned into deep helplessness, "That's not the case, just put me in the coffin, the sooner I die, the sooner I will be reborn."
After hearing such "auspicious words", Lu Mian and Einstein were a little nervous, but they didn't say much and started to move left and right.
Lu Mian was responsible for supporting Tesla and helping him into the coffin.
Einstein then smoothed out the bedding that had been placed there earlier.
After about one or two minutes of busy work, Tesla returned to the red gift box, the "cage" that he thought he had left forever.
Otherwise, you need to see a famous doctor.
As soon as Tesla lay down in the gift box, she felt a long-lost strong sleepiness sweeping over her.
My waist and legs no longer feel sore, and I can sleep for six days in a row.
"I, I'm not sleepy," Tesla felt her eyelids twitching with a dazed look. At first, she wanted to struggle, but as she continued to feel sleepy, she suddenly felt that struggling was meaningless. "Forget it - this method works."
It seems that even the toughest-talking people will soften when they are overwhelmed by sleepiness.
Lu Mian and Einstein looked at each other, unable to hold back their laughter, and then both showed bright and healthy smiles.
While laughing, Lu Mian suddenly said:
"Dr. Tesla, you can't sleep here. It's too weird to sleep in the living room in a gift box.
"How about this, you get up first and wait for me to take you back to your room before you go to sleep, okay?"
"Ah? Is there any harm in this? Never mind. Just hold me." Tesla, who was about to be defeated by sleepiness, spoke vaguely, and his tone became like that of a child acting coquettishly.
Einstein felt so sorry for a while after watching this.
She had previously recorded Tesla's drunken state. Not only would he become talkative in seconds and call himself "Laozi", but in serious cases he would also act crazy while drunk.
I thought that was already a big deal, but I didn’t expect to see the cute Tesla who was half asleep today.
It’s such a pity that I can’t use video or audio recording equipment to record it ten times!
Without caring about Einstein who was feeling sorry for something, Lu Mian reached out and put his arms around Tesla's back and legs without hesitation, and took the gift out of the box.
Then he camouflaged himself as the Star of Eden, controlled gravity, lifted the gift box, and slowly floated behind him.
Obviously there was no intention to embarrass Einstein at all.
Einstein was also happy to be free. He looked deeply at Lu Mian's broad back, chuckled, and followed the gift box.
At this moment, Tesla, who was curled up in Lu Mian's arms and should have fallen asleep, suddenly became alert and awake.
Thinking back on her behavior and what she had said just now, she, who was originally very innocent and would hide under the sofa in shame because of being drunk in front of others, was now completely blushing.
If Lu Mian's arms weren't so strong, the girl, like a deer shot by an arrow, would probably have jumped like a rocket or slid into the gift box or under the sofa with a catapult.
In order to ease the lingering embarrassment of being entangled in her, she suddenly complained:
"I won't talk about how useful your 'medical skills' are. How come this gift box can also help you sleep? What does Otto study all day and what does he do?!"
Lu Mian paused for a second after being stunned by the sudden question, and then put on a friendly smile, "They are probably things that you would never consider to be serious matters anyway."
Tesla: ...
EINSTEIN: ...
The road from the living room to Tesla's bedroom was not long. After a few words, Lu Mian came to the door holding Tesla, leading the gift box and Einstein.
The door was not locked, so I manipulated gravity and gently turned the doorknob, and the door was pushed open.
As I walked in, I saw an ordinary small room.
Although it is also very simple, compared with Lu Mian's minimalist style that doesn't look like anyone has lived in it, there is still some breath of life in it.
It's like there's a big pillow on the bed, a carpet on the floor, and some mecha models on the bookshelf in addition to useful things like books.
It is worth mentioning that perhaps due to insomnia, Tesla did not live in this room much.
Except for the slightly messy bed, the whole room was incredibly clean and tidy.
Tesla noticed that Lu Mian was observing the room, and curled up in his arms, he pursed his lips and said, "What's so good about this? Didn't you help me clean, organize, and decorate it?"
After hearing this, before Lu Mian could react, Einstein on the side couldn't hold it anymore.
She raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to ask Tesla with her eyes:
Can this be said?
Besides, when did your relationship become so good? It seems that it has not been long since Anti-Entropy was destroyed!
Unfortunately, Tesla couldn't see this look.
After thinking about it for a while, Einstein finally figured it out.
She is now in a state where she can’t lift anything with her shoulders or hands, but doesn’t she have to try to trouble Lu Mian?
Reasonable, very reasonable!
Lu Mian, holding Tesla, observed it carefully for a while before replying:
"I'm looking for a place to put the gift box. Dr. Tesla, do you have any ideas as the owner of this room?"
"Suit yourself." Tesla, who was able to speak originally, suddenly became wilted. She didn't want to use her brain anymore.
Lu Mian nodded and pointed to the carpet beside the bed. Then, the gift box, which was already floating due to gravity, slowly floated down under the force of gravity and landed very close to the bed.
It was not until then that Tesla and Einstein, who really paid attention to this point, discovered a clue.
Both of them were characters who had seen big scenes and knew good things. They knew that this move and the sphere that was shining with golden light and looked exactly like the Star of Eden were extraordinary.
They were all shocked, but no one said anything.
I'm simply not interested. What's the use of knowing?
Tesla was obviously more concerned about the position of the gift box. Seeing that it was not aligned with the edge of the bed, he joked:
"I didn't expect you to have such a strange pursuit."
"Well, Dr. Einstein knows that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder." Lu Mian also responded in a joking manner.
The next thing is very simple.
Lu Mian put Tesla into the gift box, and after making sure everything was fine, he took Einstein away.
At this moment, Tesla's urgent call came out from the gift box:
"and many more!"
Chapter 27: Prison? Father-in-law's House! (Two in One)
After Lu Mian and Einstein "settled" Tesla, they wanted to leave together.
At this moment, Tesla's urgent call came out from the gift box and reached the ears of the two people:
"and many more!"
Hearing the sound, Lu Mian and Einstein looked at each other, thinking that something unexpected had gone wrong, and both returned to the gift box.
Tesla, curled up lazily in the gift box without opening his eyes, said in a daze:
"Please help me take off my glasses so they don't get damaged. Also, please help me slide the lids back on so they feel more secure..."
Seeing that he was too lazy to struggle and was submissive and extremely peaceful, Lu Mian and Einstein, who were standing outside the gift box, were a little nervous, but they did not hesitate and clearly divided the work:
Einstein reached out and took off Tesla's red-framed glasses, folded them and placed them next to his pillow;
Lu Mian reached out and pushed up the lid of the sliding coffin.
After some cooperation, Tesla was happily sent away...
As the "culprits" who caused all this, Lu Mian and Einstein looked at each other after calmly admiring the red gift box for a while, and both couldn't help but smile.
Then they turned off the lights and quietly left the room together.
Except for the bed, the small bedroom was so tidy and clean that it didn't look like anyone had ever lived in it. It was instantly swallowed up by silence and darkness, leaving only the girl's even and happy breathing floating in the air.
Leaving aside Tesla who was sleeping soundly, his attention turned to Lu Mian and Einstein who were leaving.
Lu Mian and Einstein did not separate after "coaxing" Tesla to sleep.
Due to Einstein's physical condition, it was obviously impossible for him to take on the arduous task of "tidying up the room" alone.
Apart from official business, Lu Mian, who has always been very "easy-going", naturally extended a helping hand.
