"As a result, Ayu, I really didn't expect that you would not choose to return to this place in the past two years."
Hearing Rita interrupting his question, Lin Yu already had the answer in his heart.
During these two days, Rita may have been coming regularly to help Lin Yu clean his home in Shenzhou.
As for the reasons...
Perhaps the sister who loves her brother so much wants him to return to his original home without seeing such a dilapidated scene.
Lin Yu, who got the answer, and Rita, who was filled with mixed emotions, fell silent at the same time.
The two of them had a lot to say to their loved ones in front of them, but the time was obviously not now.
Lin Yu remained silent, looking at everything in the house, and felt the nostalgia he had felt in his consciousness space before, which attacked him again.
Even though such a long time has passed, just by looking at the furniture in the house, Lin Yu can recall every detail of his past with his parents.
The new color TV my parents bought two years ago is still as brand new as when they first bought it, more than two years later.
The small refrigerator that the three of them were discussing replacing still looked as shabby as it had been a few years ago.
My parents had always complained about the range hood being difficult to clean, but this time it gave it a brand new feel.
After all, Lin Yu just now recalled that his sister was not only an S-level Valkyrie of destiny, but also an all-purpose maid.
When it comes to housework, her abilities are definitely far beyond those of ordinary people in Shenzhou.
But now, although nothing has changed much, Lin Yu only feels that the sadness in his heart is further magnified by everything in front of him.
After all, there is no way around it. Since that day, the owner of this house has died at the hands of Honkai.
As the heir to his parents' property, Lin Yu chose to numb himself with training and dared not return to this home. Naturally, he could not add many traces of time to these furniture.
After opening the door of his parents' room, Lin Yu looked at the photo hanging on the wall and suddenly stopped.
The photo on the wall was his parents’ wedding anniversary photo before Lin Yu was born.
In Lin Yu's eyes, the parents in the photo looked really happy.
But if that's all, it's not enough.
After shaking his head gently, Lin Yu walked to a cabinet in his parents' room, opened one of the drawers, and pulled out a photo album.
In this photo album, every detail of Lin Yu's family of three over the past decade was recorded by his parents with a camera.
Gently flipping through the photo album, the memories that Lin Yu had forcibly suppressed in his mind almost completely engulfed Lin Yu's consciousness at this moment.
The happier the past was recorded in the photos in these albums, the greater the harm it caused to Lin Yu at this moment.
Rita, who was watching all this at the door of the room, wanted to walk towards Lin Yu at this time, but she forced herself to suppress her inner thoughts.
Because she knew that Lin Yu, who was now immersed in the past, definitely did not want to be disturbed by others.
Even if the person disturbing him is his sworn sister Rita, he would never allow this.
At this time, Lin Yu, who was flipping through the photo album, finally turned to the last page.
Before he knew it, Lin Yu, who had closed the photo album, realized that he had shed tears in a very embarrassing way.
Sure enough, in the end, I was still just a useless kid.
I originally thought that I could sort myself out and face all that I should have faced a long time ago, but now, I have finally confirmed one thing...
I don't want to fight against Honkai, nor do I want to be a hero with a heavy responsibility.
Originally I was just an orphan, and from the beginning I just wanted to live happily with my parents without any ambition.
If you can live like an ordinary person, who would want to force yourself to become a vengeful ghost born for revenge?
But now, the wish to live with my parents has become an unattainable luxury.
What happened to me is still happening to others at this moment.
Lamentations and sorrows, tears and scars...
——These things that can’t kill me will only become my fighting force!!!
The moment he put the photo album back into the drawer, Lin Yu suddenly felt a soft touch on his back.
"Ayu, I didn't want to disturb you."
"But now, rather than letting you go on like this, I think I should..."
At this time, Lin Yu, who was hugged by Rita from behind, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and struggled out of Rita's arms.
After turning around and looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Yu saw a worried look on his sister's face as expected.
"Don't worry, sis. I'm fine."
"Yeah......"
Looking at her brother whose expression had now returned to calm, Rita felt that Lin Yu now exuded a sense of danger.
This so-called sense of danger does not mean that Rita feels that Lin Yu will suddenly go berserk and attack her or other people.
Compared to other people who didn't need to worry, Rita was extremely worried at this time that her brother-in-law would do something overly radical because he had actively stimulated her emotions.
"Well, of course I'll be fine."
After saying this softly, Lin Yu muttered to himself as if he was talking to himself.
“Although I didn’t plan to become a warrior against Honkai at the beginning, now that I have come to this path, I will definitely just keep moving forward and do what I should do.”
"I do feel pain because of the death of my father and mother, but... the pain I feel is, after all, just what other people in the world who are persecuted by Honkai are suffering from."
"I cannot and will not die before I accomplish my purpose, so..."
Before Lin Yu finished his last sentence, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his lips.
After a moment of daze, Lin Yu looked at his sister in front of him and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After their lips parted, Rita looked at Lin Yu in front of her and spoke softly to him.
"Ayu, you...are really a little too tired."
"I was hoping you could have a heart-to-heart with those girls and be a little less radical, but... you can't let it go so easily."
"Defeating Honkai is of course important, but I still hope that at the moment of defeating Honkai, my brother can still be by everyone's side like a human being."
"If they can't ease the pain in your heart, then..."
After gently pushing Lin Yu down on the bed, Rita once again completed the promised kiss with the man in front of her.
"Don't forget, no matter what, we are always a family."
"Put aside all your worries. Sister will let you relax."
........
Meanwhile, at the Destiny Headquarters
Inside the Sentient Headquarters, Kiana put down the communicator in her hand and suddenly let out a helpless sigh.
"Alas, Senior is busy again today."
"If possible, I really hope he can take a few days off."
Bianca, who was walking with Kiana, listened to Kiana's complaints and spoke helplessly to her sister beside her.
"But you also know that this is impossible, right?"
"Yes."
After saying this helplessly, Kiana, who had already adapted to being with her family, suddenly looked up at her sister beside her.
"Sister, has the senior maintained this state for so many years?"
"Well, almost."
Thinking back to the time since she met Lin Yu, the helplessness on Bianca's face could not be dispelled.
"Before the third collapse, everyone in the organization thought I was the one who worked the hardest."
"But in fact, judging from the training time alone, Lin Yu, who is not qualified to perform the mission, has much more training time than me."
"Hey, is that so?"
Kiana said in confusion after listening to her sister's words.
"Then why is it that if he's working so hard,...no one in the organization seems to know about this?"
"Ah, about that..."
After listening to her sister's question, Bianca thought for a while and told Kiana the truth.
"In fact, it was Rita who asked Ghost-senpai to help cover up this information."
“Although there are many people working hard within Tianming, if one person works hard enough for everyone to know, then he will naturally attract more attention.”
"Lin Yu, who had been working very hard at the time, had his physical data secretly tampered by Rita, and was not selected by the combat unit, so he tried to use this method to attract the attention of the superiors and let others know that 'Lin Yu' is capable."
"But he couldn't even hide his little thoughts from me. After Lin Yu worked hard for a while, Rita naturally guessed his thoughts, so..."
"So, Ms. Rita covered up this matter in order to allow the senior to fight in a safer place?"
"Yes, but there is an old saying in Shenzhou that gold will always shine."
Recalling Lin Yu's experiences these days, Bianca said with great emotion.
"Lin Yu worked hard for more than a year, and finally proved himself in Changkong City."
"In the past six months or so, he has grown rapidly from an ordinary destiny agent to a warrior who can defeat Otto and Kevin. The good foundation he laid for himself before has played an indispensable role."
Listening to the information her sister told her, Kiana had no other emotions towards Lin Yu except heartache.
Since he met Kiana in Changkong City, Lin Yu has laughed many times.
But now that I think about it, Lin Yu’s smiles can be divided into several types.
A sneer to laugh at the enemy, a business smile when facing friends and colleagues, a fake smile when lying, a special smile to comfort friends or to pretend, and an apologetic smile when feeling guilty.
But among these smiles, Kiana felt that the only one she didn't see was Lin Yu's genuine and happy smile.
Now, after gradually understanding the person she loves, Kiana really feels that Lin Yu is forcing herself too much.
Even now, when Kiana recalled these past events, she really felt that Lin Yu might not have felt much happiness when making love with her. Instead, it was more like he was doing some work, completing certain things mechanically, helping Kiana calm her emotions that were close to collapse.
It's not just her. Perhaps Lin Yu also has similar thoughts when facing other people.
As for why Kiana suddenly had this idea, it was mainly because...
——In the past two months, Lin Yu has hardly taken the initiative to look for her.
In Kiana's eyes, Lin Yu now looks more like a tool that works mechanically towards a certain goal than an adolescent male.
He said something like 'Become mine' and then left the person aside.
Such a guy, such a guy...
——Really, it’s so abominable.
..........
Chapter 330. Thank you, Rita
Although she inevitably felt resentment towards Lin Yu, Kiana was not angry about it.
Today, she is no longer as crazy as before.
But even now, she still felt that she had to bear the sins committed by Xilin.
No matter what others think, say, or do, Kiana now feels that she is Sirin.
Just because I have died once, everything in the past is wiped out?
She didn't think that using this excuse to escape was something she should do.
After knowing this information, Lin Yu still chose to tolerate her as a sinner with a warm heart, so now...
How could Kiana bear to continue disturbing him while he was still busy?
As for the thoughts of "I want to monopolize the senior" that I had when I didn't know my own background, now they have become a bubble.
In the past two months, Kiana, Mei, Fu Hua, and Anna have all confronted each other.
