Ahem, in short, just like that, the little girl’s bedroom was completely silent.
Bronya looked at herself in the mirror, admiring the changes in her facial expressions, and her mood could not calm down for a long time.
Lu Mian just sat cross-legged next to Bronya, with a faint smile on his face that was difficult for outsiders to understand.
At the same time, my heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction and pride.
However, the good times did not last long.
The heartwarming scene that made people want to smile unconsciously did not last long before something went wrong.
However, Bronya, who was originally looking at the mirror silently, seemed to have thought of something, paused, and then the expression on her face became abnormal.
There was clearly no pain or negative emotions, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
But tears welled up in her eyes.
Silent and crystal tears slid down her cheeks like a broken pearl necklace.
Tick, tick.
It fell to the ground and soaked into the plush carpet.
She asked slowly with her lips half crying and half laughing:
"Lu Mian, can you tell Bronya why you did this? Or why did you go to such lengths?"
After hearing this, Lu Mian, who knew that Bronya was a little emotional at the moment, did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand and wiped away her tears lovingly and gently.
"You still say that Kiana is a fool, aren't you also a fool?
"Listen, there is no reason for this. If I have to say it, it's because we are friends, because I want to see your rich expressions and sweet smile, and also because I want you to become a healthy girl.
"Don't be so excited. You'll be excited for more next."
She said this while wiping away her tears.
After comforting her, Lu Mian didn't give Bronya any chance to react.
He stretched out his dirty hands and placed them on the pair of duck legs that were as beautiful as works of art.
The touch you feel when you first hold it is still that delicate, slightly bouncy jelly-like texture.
This can be considered as a reasonable and humorous way of collecting compensation while giving a reminder? Weird...
"ah!?"
She was already emotionally fragile due to crying, and was caught off guard when a warm big hand touched her leg.
Bronya made a very cute sound for a moment.
It's the kind of thing that's so cute that if Xiao Xier never hears it throughout her life, it would be like she has lived her life in vain.
At the same time, feeling the long-lost touch and feedback coming from her legs, she understood something again.
Then, she even forgot to cry, and only felt enveloped by a mysterious sense of detachment.
Lost consciousness and speechlessness, like in a dream.
Seeing this, Lu Mian, who was standing by, slowly shook his head and did not speak or move.
Instead, the main focus is on companionship.
Understand that acceptance takes time and is a personal matter.
Just accompany.
-----------------
Bronya knew long ago that Lu Mian was a very special person.
Both ability and character.
But she didn't understand, or couldn't comprehend.
With current medical technology, it is impossible to cure her emotional system and legs.
Even if it can be done, it will probably come at a price.
Is it really worth doing this for someone like her who is just a "friend"?
Perhaps the person who did such a thing can answer it, or perhaps someone who is standing from the sidelines can answer it.
But she alone could not give an answer.
Because she is the one who has a vested interest in this matter and is also the one who owes something.
Controlled by these complex emotions, she was confused.
Also influenced by these complex emotions, she raised a question that was neither important nor unimportant:
"Is all this really worth it?"
I am looking forward to getting an answer, but I don’t know what answer I am looking forward to.
Lu Mian was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
He laughed heartily, "If you care too much about gains and losses, you won't be happy. From my perspective, there is only the question of whether you want to or not, not whether it's worth it or not."
It was so before, it is so now, and it will always be so in the future.
Then he comforted her, "And didn't I say this was a surprise gift? If you really have to pay a price, wouldn't that be a shock?
"Okay, okay, don't think too much. Let me help you walk a few laps so you can get used to it."
After saying that, he smiled and blinked.
Bronya stared at Lu Mian in silence, her eyes never shifting for a moment.
Then, as if suddenly relieved, he raised his hand to wipe the undried tears on his cheeks, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, chuckled and nodded in response.
Perhaps, only she herself knows what is going on in her mind right now:
It's over. Although my emotions and legs have been healed, my whole life has been ruined...
But it doesn’t matter.
As long as I can keep Xi'er sister by my side, or squeeze out another vacant seat for Xi'er sister...
Lu Mian had no idea of the dangerous thoughts in Bronya's mind at the moment, so he reached out and held onto the latter's fair arm.
I began to try to help him stand up little by little.
Afterwards, the two of them walked around the bedroom a few times, one supporting the other.
Does this count as adapting to new limbs?
Strange knowledge increased.
Back to the point, although Bronya had been wearing an alloy exoskeleton armor, or mechanical prosthesis, to assist her in standing, external objects are ultimately different from her own limbs.
Not to mention that she always likes to move around by floating in mid-air.
Therefore, although the process of adapting to new hands and feet may not seem that easy, it is actually not easy at all.
It's very difficult...
However, with Lu Mian's patient and gentle company and support, Bronya was still very positive.
Circle after circle, after an unknown amount of time, she began to be able to walk normally.
After a while, I was able to walk around the bedroom normally by myself.
The Valkyrie's physique is amazing, isn't it?
Seeing that Bronya had almost recovered in a very short time, Lu Mian blinked and suggested:
"Since you've recovered so quickly, why don't we let Kiana and the others take a look and be surprised as well?"
After hearing this proposal, Bronya nodded slightly, "Bronya agrees with this proposal."
Then he stretched out his little hand.
Seeing this, Lu Mian smiled, and then took the little hand that Bronya extended to him.
They walked out of the bedroom holding hands.
His gaze turned to the scene where Lu Mian and Bronya walked out of Bronya's bedroom and entered the living room.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they bumped into someone - Kiana, who looked very excited.
Kiana, who was originally happy, lost a lot of excitement on her face after seeing Lu Mian and Bronya walking out of "Bronya's bedroom" hand in hand.
Then he tilted his head slightly in confusion:
"Eh? Ah-Mian, when did you come? And why did you come out of her bedroom with that stupid Bronya?"
As she spoke, she felt that the color of her originally pure white hair had changed a little, and her head became heavier.
But when I thought about it being Bronya, it didn't seem to matter that much...
Just when Lu Mian wanted to give facts as an explanation, Kiana, who asked the question, shook her head first.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't care about that anymore. The clothes you gave me, Ah Mian, are really nice. I like them very much."
After saying that, she laughed foolishly.
Lu Mian pursed his lips and started laughing too.
Now, several days have passed since Kiana received the princess dress that replaced the Winter Princess.
Even at this point, Silly Fu Fu could still laugh out loud and mention it in particular.
All I can say is that she probably really likes it and is really happy.
Moreover, compared with Bronya's previous performance, Kiana now looks like the girl who had just had her legs healed and regained her lost emotions.
Isn't this a kind of humor?
Bronya on the side looked at the smiling Kiana, and then looked at the smiling Lu Mian.
He shook his head and revealed a beautiful smile of neither too deep nor too shallow.
It's very clean, without any unnecessary emotions mixed in.
At the same time, the rarer something is, the greater the contrast and the corresponding shock it can give people.
Like a sweet spring in an oasis in the desert, or like a ray of light in the endless darkness.
The girl who never smiles now smiles at this moment. Isn't this precious and valuable?
Bronya's beautiful smile, which was so "abnormal", also attracted the attention of the sharp-eyed Kiana.
Although most people around her are not very good at "listening" when they are chatting, she also vaguely knows some "inside stories". She raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to scratch her head.
"Hmm-hmm? Bronya, are you laughing? And what about your legs?"
He asked this question with full of doubts.
Hearing Kiana's somewhat silly yet cute question, Bronya nodded with a smile.
Still with a smile on his face, he softly affirmed:
"Yes, it was Lu Mian who cured Bronya. Both her lost emotional system and the paralysis in her legs were cured."
Although the two of them often quarreled on a daily basis, they always called each other offensive words such as "idiot".
At the same time, it also seems a little bit uncomfortable.
But in fact, they still care about each other in essence.
Look, after receiving the great news that "Bronya has recovered", Kiana smiled sincerely.
Then, she took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe and gave a nibble on the cheek of Lu Mian, the "great contributor".
Lu Mian: 0_o?
Bronya: (???)?
Kiana: ovo
After venting her "excitement", Kiana left the living room and returned to her bedroom.
In her own words:
"It's really tiring to study every day during the make-up exam period. Now that I have nothing to do, I must make up for the sleep I lost before."
