【After that, you will take action. 】
[As you expected, after bringing you back to Europe, Kallen made her own choice.]
[She did not compromise with Tianming and reveal the whereabouts of the purple box, but instead questioned whether Tianming's actions over the past few years were correct.]
[As if she wanted to change the unjust world, reverse the unreasonable reality, and implement the justice in her heart, she directly stood on the opposite side of the Destiny Organization and the entire noble group. ]
[Faced with the cruel reality, Kallen ultimately has no ability to turn the tide. ]
[The high-ranking officials of Tianming - these cunning old antiques. ]
[Aristocracy - a bunch of dirty power players. ]
[They made a big fuss about Kallen stealing the purple box, and Francis, the current head of Kaslana and Kallen's biological father, only postponed Kallen's trial for a while.]
[Finally, Karen was thrown into prison.]
[If nothing unexpected happens, the death penalty will be waiting for her. ]
[She said nothing about this, not even showing any unnecessary expression.]
[Why did Kallen do this series of actions? 】
[Is it because she has completely despaired of this world? ]
[Or is it because she has already made up her mind to die? ]
[Does she feel like she can't change anything, so she's hopeless? ]
[No, neither.]
[You can guess what Kallen is thinking, always can. ]
【She probably just wants to protect you. 】
[Where in the world can resistance and reform happen without bloodshed and sacrifice? ]
[In order to realize her ideal, Karen is not afraid of being burned as firewood even if she has to face death.]
【But she can’t. 】
[But she can't...]
[Because she knows that you will definitely help her. ]
[Karen doesn't know what state your body has reached, nor does she know whether her choice is the best one.]
[She only knows that if she bothers you again, you will probably leave her and Otto.]
[No matter what, she doesn't want you to die because of her, even if the price is her own death. ]
[This is also the direct reason why she has come to this point. ]
【The world is complicated, some people can see clearly, while others cannot. 】
[Otto didn't know the whole story, he only knew that one year later, when he met his only friend again, there was an insurmountable iron railing between them.]
[Everything in the world was falling apart, except for his blood pressure, which was rising sharply.]
Chapter 26 Don't Go
Night, fate's death row.
The moon closed its eyes, the stars were silent, and the world was so silent.
Otto and Kallen stared at each other in silence across the indestructible iron railings.
A few dim rays of light slanted down from the vents, illuminating the silence between the two of them.
After a while, Otto finally couldn't help it.
He looked angry and spoke in a cold tone, "My dear Saint Lady! Why on earth did you accept such an unfair trial that you could never win?!"
[Otto really couldn't understand why Kallen wanted to leave you and him to die.]
[Can I completely ignore your feelings just for that immature idea? ]
[This is too willful. ]
Karen looked at Otto who was complaining about her, but smiled calmly:
"Great Inventor, you are much smarter than me. If you were in my position, you would definitely be able to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"I'm different. I'm really stupid and can't think of a better choice. You don't have to worry about me. Also...sleep with me more."
Although this smile was meant to comfort him, there was also a hint of pride in it.
Otto, I grew up before you.
"..." Otto failed to understand Karen's smile, just as he couldn't figure out why Karen turned to mention Lu Mian.
Apart from taking a few long breaths, he was unable to catch his breath. He just felt that the other party was too stubborn and unyielding!
In the end, the conversation between the two ended in a bad mood.
Otto walked back home in despair.
When I pushed open the door, I saw Lu Mian's back as he sat in front of the desk - at this moment he was playing with the pot of green lilies with great interest.
Otto walked over and sat down beside him, glancing sideways at the handsome face he had been thinking about day and night for a whole year before finally seeing again, without any excitement in his heart.
Despite his best efforts to conceal it, his voice was still dull, "I don't want Kallen to die no matter what..."
[You don't count. Kallen is Otto's only close friend. ]
[He can't let go of either of you.]
[In other words, it is because of you two that Otto has become the Otto of today.]
[The importance of this is naturally self-evident. ]
"Oh, these are just minor problems." Lu Mian no longer cared about the pot of green lilies. He turned his head to look at Otto and smiled confidently, "Didn't Karen give you a bottle of pretty good red wine? Don't keep it to yourself. Give it to me. I can use it to solve all your problems."
After hearing this, Otto was stunned at first.
But after seeing Lu Mian's signature smile that made him feel extremely at ease, he nodded slightly again, stood up and began to look for red wine.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a while, he handed the red wine he found to Lu Mian.
"It would be a shame if you, the 'master', couldn't taste such a good thing. Come, let's have a drink." Lu Mian admired the red wine in his hand, as if he had a sudden idea.
After saying that, without waiting for Otto to react, he pinched the golden light into a pair of high-heeled glasses and poured the red wine into the two glasses. They were not full but only two lines short.
After doing all this, he casually handed over another cup and said to Otto blankly, "Please don't give me face, okay?"
Otto looked at the glass of red wine in front of him. Although he felt strange, he had never doubted Lu Mian, and this time was no exception.
He immediately took the wine glass.
"Ding--"
A pair of golden wine glasses collided lightly and then separated.
Lu Mian did not follow Western customs and drank a big gulp of the water as if to his heart's content.
Otto sniffed the aroma of the wine, then took a sip and asked, "You can drink?"
Lu Mian had never cared about him and Karen drinking in the past ten years, but he himself would not even smell the slightest smell of alcohol.
At one point, Otto thought he couldn't drink.
"Yes, of course." Lu Mian drank red wine, glanced at the night sky outside the window, and said in a long tone, "When I was young, my family had problems and I was in trouble. I drank every day, even if I was beaten and scolded."
Hearing him say this, Otto was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"That's really not like you."
“It’s not that he’s not like me, it’s that he’s not like me after meeting you and Kallen.” As he said this, Lu Mian drank the remaining wine in the glass and put away the glass in his hand.
I drink and swear, but I am still an absolutely good man and a good role model for my children?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
After all, whether a man is a good man does not actually depend on whether he drinks or swears.
【But you still gave up drinking and changing your habit of swearing. 】
[Because it's not good for Otto and Kallen, that's all. ]
When Otto saw Lu Mian finish his drink, he no longer cared about being elegant and drank the red wine in his glass.
As the wine glass in his hand emitted golden light, he suddenly felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
"Why, why?!" Otto rarely lost his composure. He looked at Lu Mian, who was smiling gently and had increasingly gentle eyebrows, and asked in surprise.
In response, Lu Mian just touched Otto's head in a soothing manner, as if he had let go of everything, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. When you wake up, you will find that everything has changed. The world may not become a better place, but everything will be fine, so keep moving forward and make everything what you want it to be."
Otto didn't want to hear such words. He blinked his eyes, his gaze was broken, and finally he only waited for a light sentence:
"Good night, my...little inventor..."
Otto fell asleep, he fell asleep after all.
No one can stop Yu Duchen, not even a mimic of Yu Duchen.
It was not easy for him to persist to this point, and it was enough to make Lu Mian feel extremely surprised.
Lu Mian quietly watched Otto's struggling face, pursed his lips, and then picked him up horizontally. He carried him to the bed and tucked in the corners of the quilt;
He gently raised his hand again and straightened Otto's messy hair bit by bit, relaxing his restless face.
Only then did Lu Mian reluctantly stand up and prepare to leave.
But just as Lu Mian was about to push open the door and leave, Otto's voice suddenly sounded behind him:
“Don’t…don’t go!!!”
His voice became hoarse and shrill, very unpleasant to the ear, as if he was uttering every syllable with all his might, and the embarrassment was audible and visible.
Lu Mian stopped in front of the door, didn't look back, and sighed deeply.
His uncontrollable trembling shoulders revealed his inner unrest, but he could not collapse.
He still has so much to do.
[You were extremely surprised that Otto was able to break free from Yu Duchen's hypnosis and wonderful illusion by himself.]
[Now, don't let your parting be any more difficult to watch. ]
【Let’s go. 】
【Let’s go? 】
【Let’s go...】
【Walk!!!】
"Puff-"
The sound of flesh falling to the ground was heard with a thud. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to explode right beside Lu Mian's ears.
What immediately came into his ears was Otto's almost crazy and pleading voice.
"Don't leave me, don't leave me alone! Please...please..."
[It won't be a big deal if you fall off the bed. ]
[Don't worry about Otto, let's go. ]
Lu Mian's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he finally turned around.
Chapter 15 20:
Lu Mian was never a strong person from the beginning to the end, he just never found room for weakness.
