Fallen grid shop

Chapter 11 What's Worth It
Lulu was lying on the unfamiliar street in Sanqing City, a little confused watching the crowds coming and going.

She is still too young, she sighed.Although she came here in the form of a cat and easily evades fares, she has no idea where Yinyin lives or where the person she is looking for is.

She scratched her ears frantically, wanting to cry without tears.

Why don't you ask a certain elf who is obsessed with cooking for help, although it's a bit embarrassing.She thought silently, and rolled a few times on the street frantically.

It is really too difficult for her to pull down her face and beg others. If she can casually say something like begging you, maybe the monk will come to visit her often.

Frustrated, Lulu inquired about stray cats and dogs several times on the streets of Sanqingcheng, but to no avail, so she had to go back.

There is no way, there are tens of thousands of cicadas in the whole city, and it is too difficult to search for a species that is different from her based on her limited information.

Hitting the wall in every possible way, seeing that the last train was about to enter the station, Lulu had no choice but to jump on the return train with her head down.

Today's dinner has her favorite braised pork!Lulu thought about taking a nap in the car, and must hurry back before dinner, but she must not let Luoluo know about such a shameful incident, otherwise she would definitely laugh at her with her temper.

Lulu, who was thinking about opening the door and eating braised pork, was taken aback by the people in the shop. Under the warm yellow light, the pale-faced girl in a beige dress with one wing was looking back at her.That scene was like a terminally ill patient.

"I'm back, how's it going? Is everything going well?" Luoluo asked as she looked at the cat-eared girl who walked in with her tail wagging.

Lulu's eyes drifted to other places, she smiled and replied: "Haha, I'm sure it will go well. It will go well, hahaha."

Looking at her lack of confidence, Luoluo probably guessed it. She smiled without saying a word and looked at Lulu who walked in and hugged the stove, and drank her black tea.

"Why are you here?" Lulu turned her head and asked Yinyin who was sitting beside her.

"I don't live long. Cicadas are afraid of the cold. On the way to Aurora City, I caught some wind and cold. I'm afraid I'm going to die early." Yinyin smiled with her head down, and said in a thin voice, which made people feel very sorry.

"Then why didn't you tell us last time, so you don't have to make another trip."

Lulu grabbed Yinyin's hand nervously, but watched her smile back with a relaxed expression, and said softly: "It's okay, I don't want my family to know about this, and they have to worry about me. We Cicadas never see their parents when they are born, although only brothers and sisters live together all the time, but they will find you if you go, so this matter cannot be explained clearly.”

Yinyin paused as she spoke, and lowered her head.

"After all, I decided to repay that person's life-saving grace on my own, thinking that I must finish the matter before I die. I don't have any other skills. I heard that that person is getting married. I want to be with him I sang to wish them happiness on the wedding day, but now it seems that I can't wait, so I want to come ahead of time and ask you guys."

"Marry!?" Lulu jumped up after hearing this, "Are you worth it for such a person? He doesn't know anything about everything you sacrificed your life for him. He is happy, but you are short-lived." My life is completely over!!!”

The almost screaming sound made Yinyin froze in place, but Lulu didn't stop, and continued to scream.

"Then you waited in the dark for more than ten years, what are the dark days you endured with tears!? Isn't it just to fly and sing more while you are alive? Forget about him, he It’s just a human being, he has a much longer life than yours, and you are just a dust in his life without any influence!!!”

Yinyin didn't interrupt Lulu, but just smiled softly after listening to what she said, then silently lowered her head.

"Did I say something serious? I...I apologize to you." Lulu realized her impoliteness, and hurriedly sat down and signaled Luoluo to comfort Yinyin in front of her, but Luoluo still didn't express anything, drinking tea leisurely .

Yinyin looked up at Lulu for a long time, with a gentle smile on her face again, but the red eyes indicated that she had just cried.

Her small voice was very clear in this empty room: "Why is it worth it? I don't know. I have been suffering underground before, and I have thought about this problem. But I can't figure it out, so I just stay in a daze like that." Alive, drowsily asleep."

"Until the day I climbed out of the ground, the day I spread my wings for the first time to fly, I thought I might have known something. Isn't life all about living desperately for this little bit of beauty?"

"That day, the day I was caught, I thought my life would end prematurely that day, and that person smiled at me gently and let me go. At that time, I thought that I might have found a relationship with someone else. The cicadas live in a different way”

"That day, my heart beat fast, it told me that I like that person, I want to use all the rest of my time to sing to that person, use my life, to sing the most gentle song in the world to that person .”

Lulu stopped talking, she just listened silently to Yinyin speaking sad words in an almost cheerful tone, the atmosphere in the whole room was oppressive and sad.

"Don't feel sorry for me, because I think I am happy. Although my life is short, I seem to be destined to be different from other cicadas. I am destined to meet that person. I am willing to dedicate myself to that person. A worthless life. I want to see that gentle smile all the time, I want to look at him from a distance, just to see him smiling happily, and I will be content.”

Yinyin's tears couldn't stop flowing down, but she couldn't see any sad expression on her pale face. She was smiling, and Luoluo knew that she was smiling from the bottom of her heart.

"I promise to accompany you, and you will stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to collect my reward."

Luoluo smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the bedroom. After a while, she came out with a quilt in her arms, and carefully spread it beside the fireplace.

The dinner on the small round table in the restaurant was unusually quiet, Luoluo picked up the braised pork and put it in Lulu's bowl, only to see Lulu quietly lowering her head to cook the meal without saying a word.

Yinyin drank the holly juice quietly, Luoluo smiled apologetically at her, and said softly, "Sorry, it's not to your liking."

"It's okay, I thank you very much for your willingness to take me in overnight." Yinyin lowered her head and smiled with a blushing face, signaling Luoluo not to care.

Throughout the night, Lulu didn't say another word.After dinner, she quietly collapsed on the side of the desk, playing with a glass bead.

Luoluo was seriously reading a book about making soothing spices, only Yinyin huddled under the quilt, looking at the sheet music over and over again.

It seems that today, there will be no more guests.

The clock on the wall had already struck eleven heavily, Luoluo picked up Lulu and dragged her to the bedroom. Before leaving, she carefully instructed Yinyin: "It's getting late, it's windy tonight, put on the quilt."

"Okay." Yinyin got into the quilt obediently, lay down and closed her eyes.There was still a smile on her lips.

Tomorrow she will meet the person she misses so much.Tomorrow, she must seriously sing to him the song "Night Rain Quartet" that she has practiced many times.That's great, tonight is destined to be a wonderful night, Yinyin thought happily.
