Let me live [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 39 Farewell
----
That's how the move was decided.An Tuo took care of everything with super high efficiency. Lu You only stayed at Hearst's house for two days, and on the third day, he moved into the two-story building whose ownership had been transferred and the furniture inside had been replaced.
An Tuo moved almost all the furniture from the original home. He was also very dissatisfied with the terrazzo floor laid by the original owner of the new home, and planned to replace it all with an overall wooden floor.The lawn outside the house is well-groomed, the green grass is neatly trimmed, and the residents on both sides are separated from the residents on both sides by a kind of low shrub with dark green leaves and full of thorns that Lu You doesn't recognize.
The automatic watering nozzle in the center of the lawn was hit by a lawn mower, and it sprayed water intermittently. An Tuo directly removed it and threw it away, preparing to be self-reliant in the future.
The dog house on the side of the house was cleaned very well. The original owner left a dog food bowl, drinking fountain and a few dog chew toys. Their dog just gave birth to a litter of puppies a while ago, probably because of An I entrusted a person with busy schedules, thinking that he was a single person living alone, and kindly wanted to send him a puppy as a companion, but it failed.
Lu You, who only found out about it later, felt it was a pity. He really wanted to keep a pet, so after settling down, he and An Tuo went to a pet hospital that could adopt kittens and puppies.Then, he finally understood the reason for "failing to achieve": those animals that had been gentle and docile before, either screamed like crazy when An Tuo approached, or huddled up and hid in a corner trembling... The most exaggerated thing is that even the goldfish in the fish tank will quickly escape from the glass, as if feeling the extremely terrifying danger from An Tuo.
Animals can detect and avoid the breath of vampires, and they will instinctively get close to the holy power, but at this moment the situation is completely reversed: after being carried out of the cage, they would rather squeeze into Lu You's arms than to avoid An An Tor tried to stroke the soft furry hand.
In the end, the little girl in charge of receiving guests in the pet hospital sent the two empty-handed people out of the store with a polite and awkward smile on her face—if they stayed any longer, those poor animals would be scared out of their wits .On the way back, An Tuo was in an unprecedentedly depressed mood. When he passed a flower shop, Lu You dragged him in and picked out a pot of green radishes that looked like they had wide leaves and were full of vitality. He went home with the flower pot in his arms, and it was considered a smooth hair for him.
Lorna continued to live with Hearst.She has adapted well to not being able to live with her brother. Anyway, she started to sleep alone very early, and the distance between the new house and Hearst's house is very close. As long as she can see her brother every day, yes It made no difference to her.Moreover, she also likes to stay by Hester's side.
Lu You already knew Hearst's past.Hearst volunteered to tell him about her youngest daughter, Elizabeth, who had suffered a similar fate as her sister.Hirst's research on the serum began at that time, and even though the person she really wanted to heal had long since died as a handful of ashes under the tombstone, she continued this research stubbornly.
A woman who has lost her child, and a child who has lost her mother, Hearst and his sister live together, which is equivalent to filling the gaps in each other's lives.Compared with the state of being dependent on her brother before being attacked by Campbell, the younger sister is obviously much happier now. The originally thin face gradually became sensual, and her expression became cheerful.
So, after a summary that came to mind by chance, Lu You found that his task seemed to be almost completed...?Revenge, the vampire Campbell who bit his sister has been wiped out; there is no need to worry about the problem of deterioration in the short term, and Hearst will be fully responsible for the long run; happy and happy... except for the baby period when my sister no longer remembers her parents , this time is the happiest time in her short life.
As long as An Tuo is at home, even if he is not in front of him, but just in the same house, Lu You cannot get in touch with the system.He waited for two days, and finally waited until An Tuo was called out by the support request, and hurried to poke the system.When he heard the special voice that was neither human nor electronically synthesized, with his usual lazy attitude, Lu You suddenly had the feeling of "long time no see".
"Compared to the time this system has existed, such a short period of time is not considered 'long'." The system's statement sounded comforting, but in fact it always felt a bit like mocking, "The task of the host has not been completed, please wait at ease."
"Is it because my sister's condition may relapse?" Lu You glanced in the direction of Hearst's house from the window, although he could only see the neighbor's house, "I need to stay in this world, for She provides blood?"
"It can be understood in this way." The system replied somewhat vaguely.
Even if the younger sister has completely recovered, according to the wish of the target, she will definitely want to be by her side and watch her grow up.Thinking that the system had indicated that this would be a long-term task before it was launched, Lu You felt that perhaps this was the more important reason.He tentatively asked the system: "Do you know how long this task will last?"
"It lasts until the system judges that the target's wish has been fulfilled." The system replied him with a correct nonsense, "When the task is completed, the host will be notified as soon as possible."
"Of course I know that." Lu You said speechlessly, he had completed two missions anyway, "Can't you remind me more?"
There is also the "first time" emphasized by the system accent, which is obviously not considered for the host.Lu You seemed to have seen it once again, saying "It takes 20 points to redeem one year of survival time", and drove people away on the day the task was completed twice.
"This system can't predict the future. It is responsible for the analysis of the underlying data. This system is just a microphone." The system said lazily, "There are many variables in the long-term task. Please complete the host carefully to avoid accidents in the middle. Fall short."
After giving this reminder that seemed to give him bad luck, the system retreated and silently silenced.Lu You called it twice but didn't get a response, and asked it the time deliberately for the third time, only to get a short and impatient answer.The system refused to engage in meaningless chats, and Lu You didn't want to spend time alone at home watching TV like an empty nester, so he tidied up the house, poured some water on the green radishes on the window sill, and went out to He I went to visit my sister at Sturt.
As soon as they met, Hearst gave Lu You two surprise gift packages: a serum specially prepared for him, which signified the official start of the buffer plan; Say "Anyway, you're idle and bored all day, let me find something interesting for you to do."After Lu You was speechless for a while, he bargained with Hearst for a long time, and finally succeeded in taking away the few skeleton specimens she was most satisfied with, and increased the pile of books by another third.
He received a serum injection, and the holy power in the serum was slightly higher than his tolerance limit, making him lie on the bed in the infirmary all afternoon and unable to get up, as weak as if he had returned to the morning when he was first embraced.When An Tuo came back from the mission of clearing and suppressing near the evening, he hesitated for a long time at the door of the room, until Hester assured him that "you won't make the situation worse if you get close to him, as long as you don't get too close to the negative distance." Carefully approached the side of the bed.
Lu You was in a semi-drowsy state, and vaguely heard Hester's voice, but she didn't even have the energy to complain about her, and she still wanted to make fun of her.In fact, Hearst's judgment is a bit different from the real situation. He is now extremely sensitive to the divine power. An Tuo just approached, and the pain that he was biting all over his body increased at the same time. As the two forces mainly fight against the blood on the battlefield There was a clamor, as if the tide was rising due to the gravity of the moon.
The change in pain made Lu You wake up a little bit.He opened his eyes and saw An Tuo standing by the bed with an unhappy expression on his face, and felt a little funny again.
The serum is the purified blood of vampires, and the blood of the Templars can be used as a means of purification. Anto once made such a request to Hearst, but Hearst flatly rejected it on the grounds of "waste and inefficiency".Therefore, after the previous serum injections, Anto had to pester him for a long time until he became familiar with the aura on his body again, but now this kind of intimacy was explicitly forbidden by Hearst.He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then turned to lie on the edge of the bed in a position that seemed very uncomfortable, and finally squeezed into the bed without holding back.
Although the bed in the infirmary was a bit small, it was enough for two people to hug each other and lie down.Lu You had always felt that An Tuo's body temperature was too high, but at this moment, his fever-like body was leaning against his arms, but it felt very comfortable.After the effects of the serum stabilized and the pain gradually eased, he fell asleep again in a daze.
An Tuo didn't go to dinner, and didn't force him to take him home, just hugged him and spent the night on the slightly crowded bed.Throughout the night, Lu You could always feel his presence in his sleep, as if a part of his body and mind had been calling each other gently.The next morning, while Hearst was in the kitchen frying eggs for breakfast, Lorna slipped into the infirmary and stood by the bed, looking at Anto, who opened her eyes as if she hadn't slept at all. After staring wide-eyed for a moment, he sneaked out lightly.
Lu You never thought of deliberately keeping his relationship with An Tuo from his sister, but he also didn't think of exposing it like this.He didn't know about the incident that morning, and after that, he still took care not to be too intimate with An Tuo in front of his sister, while An Tuo and Lorna behaved as usual.It wasn't until two years later that her younger sister graduated from elementary school, and on the way back from the ceremony, she pulled Lu You with one hand and An Tuo with the other, and asked them "when are you going to get married" with excitement that has not yet dissipated, Lu You didn't know that she had discovered it long ago. .
Married... He turned his head to look at An Tuo, An Tuo suddenly realized, with a clear expression on his face, "So there is still such an operation".My sister also actively advises him on what commemorative gifts should be given when proposing, such as high-level vampire fangs obtained by herself... Although Lu You and she are still members of vampires, they also have Unanimously looking forward to bad luck with high-level vampires.
This is indeed a good option, but unfortunately it has long been used up.Because not long after they moved to the place where they live now, Anto changed the habit of letting others handle the prey, and began to bring back two sharp fangs soaked in holy water and polished smooth after each mission, like a Some kind of voucher was handed over to Lu You.
Every time Lu You received this horrifying gift, he always felt that An Tuo was saying that "I have eliminated the things that disturbed our relationship."He collected those teeth in a glass jar and put them on the bookcase, together with the notes and materials he had been studying with Hirst.
Anto did not reveal to Lorna what gift he was going to give until the end of the day.He didn't move for the next week, as if the conversation never happened.Lorna was actively insinuating at the beginning, but a few days later she heard something and gained a new understanding. She ran over to apologize to Lu You with frustration, and asked him, "Did I make your relationship worse?"
She met her new school classmates early on over the holidays and befriended one of the boys from a single-parent family while out to dinner.The boy's parents had never been married, and his mother gave birth to him as a bargaining chip for marriage, but she failed to change from a lover to a wife as she wished, and was abandoned instead. "I should have asked you secretly first." Lorna pouted and said, she has grown a lot taller in the past two years, but she still looks childish than girls of the same age, she still likes to hug her brother's arm and act like a baby, " It was you who asked for marriage, so why is An Tuo taking the initiative in everything?"
Witnessing how Lu You and An Tuo got along, she subconsciously fixed one party's weak position, which is indeed the case.Lu You was surprised that her views had changed in such a short period of time, and encouraged her to communicate more with that new friend.In order to avoid her thinking too much, Lu Youyin went to the things that he never thought of to make the relationship better before, but just assured her that there was no problem between him and An Tuo - the once broken family was the deepest part of the younger sister's insecurity Source, her heart yearns for a stable relationship, whether it is her own or that of her family.
Lu You tested a few times and confirmed that Lorna did not have the tendency to sacrifice herself in order to maintain an unworthy "stable relationship", so she was relieved.He has no experience in teaching his younger sister or raising a daughter. Facing the extremely plastic future of young human beings, he always feels in a hurry, lest he inadvertently give wrong guidance.
After all, he and An Tuo, as well as Hearst, who comes and goes like a stream of lovers when he is happy, and sees everyone as trash when he is unhappy, are not good guiding examples.Lu You sometimes thinks that maybe it is the influence of her younger sister and the target's parents, the loving couple who have passed away, that has been silently continuing on her younger sister, allowing her to turn a blind eye to the crooked road that is close at hand, and grow up tenaciously. The most normal of this eccentric family of four.
A week later, An Tuo brought back a plain silver ring that seemed to have been made with no thought.It was late at night when he got home, Lu You was still up, and he was struggling with Hester's new "homework" in front of the desk, and the whole house was only lit by the light of the small lamp beside him.An Tuo walked in, with the coolness of Yelu on his body, approached him from behind, turned his face and kissed him on the back of the chair.
An Tuo's expression was serious, even a little serious.He put the ring into Lu You's palm. It was a silver circle that was polished to the point of no pattern or shape. There was only a small uneven place on the inside. Lu You picked it up and looked at the light for a while. , Only then did I realize that they were two variant letters engraved by hand: L and Y.
There was a slight movement in his heart.The target's initials should be LG...
"...Why are these two words." He asked with a smile, "Did you engrave a love sentence?"
Anto said nothing.He checked the information and asked others for this ceremonial token. He originally decided to engrave his initials, but he changed his mind for some reason when he started.Before the person in front of him asked, he also thought that he wanted to engrave "Love You" (LoveYou), which he had never said bluntly before, but after being asked, he was a little uncertain.He likes to see this person showing anticipation and hiding it behind his smile as if embarrassed, but he can't understand why there is a slight sadness along with the anticipation.
Lu You watched An Tuo turn to the side of the chair, stretched out his hand, and touched his side carefully.That's where Anto's silver arrow had pierced him, seeing him as prey, when they first met.There were no scars left.
"I kept that arrow all the time," An Tuo said, "I never used it again...I took it apart and made this with the material in the middle." Their eyes stayed on the slender arrow together. on the ring.It lost its destructive appearance, worn away the sacred patterns that were once engraved, and changed from a weapon to a symbol of blessing.Lu You wanted to laugh a little inappropriately, he wanted to ask An Tuo if you were stupid?Using this kind of thing to make a ring, do you want him to remember the pain he caused every moment he wears it?
He didn't ask, because An Tuo turned to look into his eyes, just staring at him like that, slowly lowered his body, and half knelt down beside the chair. "I'm fighting against myself." He said a little abruptly, "and the part of me that feels happy when I hurt you." He said this sentence very slowly, and after he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, making Lu You a little The hand that was tightly placed by the side was gently pulled up, and did not fall down for a kiss, but just held it firmly.
"I won't hurt you any more," he whispered, "Please—"
The coolness touching his lips cut off An Tuo's unspoken words.The coolness comes from the silver ring, and also from Lu You's fingertips that are always as cold as ice. "If, I mean if," Lu You said softly, "I don't need you to fight against yourself, as long as you separate from me, or keep a distance... This is a simpler way. Such a thing, can you do it? ?”
The ring was loosely placed on his fingertips, and his fingertips lightly pressed An Tuo's lips, which was extraordinarily cold against the soft and hot color.The grip of An Tuo's fingers suddenly increased a little, and then relaxed before causing Lu You pain.He didn't move or speak, but slowly narrowed his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lu You withdrew his hand, hooked his fingertips lightly, and let the ring slide back into his palm. "You missed a chain." He said, "When I do experiments, I need to touch medicine, so I can't wear anything on my hands. There should be some leftover parts of that arrow, right? Then I'll give you... …three days.” He said the deadline, and then suddenly smiled inexplicably, “Gifts that are out of date may be rejected.”
Couldn't have asked for more.He thought to himself, this person is willing to suppress his own nature for him, what is he not satisfied with?
He touched An Tuo's frowning brow, and then patted his shoulder, "Okay, get up..."
This time it was Anto's turn to interrupt him.The young man jumped up from the ground in an elegant gesture, stretched his body like a hunter, and pushed Lu You into the chair.The chair is roomy enough to sit in front of the desk, with a black leather back and seat that contrasts absolutely beautifully with the white skin.As for how troublesome it is to clean up... leave it to the satiated initiator to worry about.
Three days later, Lu You put the ring on a necklace and put it around his neck.He didn't give An Tuo a chance to finish his proposal that night, and An Tuo didn't bring it up again afterwards, but accepting his gift was like making a promise.As soon as Lorna found the ring, she immediately forgot the complaints she had made to An Tuo before, and only knew that she kept repeating her wishes with a blushing face.Hearst, however, asked Lu You to take off the necklace and let her have a look after learning the source of the material. He took it in his hand and touched it several times carefully, showing a slightly surprised expression.
"There is a small tracking device in the silver arrow of the holy pattern, An Tuo didn't make that together?" She said, "Really, if this continues, I will change my opinion of him."
Lu You silently took the necklace back from her hand, and declined her joking proposal—she said that even if it wasn't for the progress of their relationship, in order to congratulate An Tuo for finally knowing a little restraint, a ceremony should be held to express celebrate. "Let's wait until Lorna's situation improves completely." He said to Hester.
Lorna has been using the serum.Subsequent treatments worked well, and her condition has remained stable.After she learned of the price Lu You paid for this, she lost her temper and refused, and was suppressed by Lu You and Hester.After that, Lu You noticed the similarity between his actions and An Tuo's - the kind of arrogance that firmly believed that what he did was correct and worthy when he paid for the one he loved.
For a few years, the way of getting along between Lu You and An Tuo was very normal, which aroused Hester's suspicion, thinking that An Tuo might have used some ulterior means to test it out every now and then.In addition to this little friction between her and An Tuo, because of the contributions of Lu You and Lorna, and another little vampire girl she adopted, her research on serum has made great progress. Adaptants that achieve complete reversal in a short period of time are recognized by the Temple, and more research efforts are invested.Not long after, the temple changed its style of conduct, no longer turning a blind eye to the low-level vampires wandering outside, and began to arrest them on a large scale.
There was general commotion between the lower ranks who voluntarily degenerated and the higher ranks who needed to develop descendants.Hearst's home and research institute were protected by the Templars. Lu You encountered an attack while cleaning up the dead animals left at the door. He got any cheap from him, but he was locked in by An Tuo afterwards, and exaggerated protective measures were arranged outside the house, and he returned to the original life of not going out all day.
Lu You didn't try to resist this time.Since An Tuo gradually learned to discuss with him before acting, although most of the time such a consultation is actually no different from a notification, and he is more used to it than before after all, he has less and less rejected An Tuo.He keeps in touch with his sister by video and phone calls, and the course is continuing. Anto will go to Hearst to fetch the documents and project materials that need his help, and send them back after he finishes.Apart from not being able to go out, life doesn't seem to have changed much.
The water temperature that was once cooled starts to heat up again.This process happens unconsciously...
The vampires who had difficulty developing descendants gathered together, and the older, dark forces that had been hidden for a long time also began to act.The monsters who had a premonition that they were about to perish launched two large-scale counterattacks and countless more sporadic resistances. An Tuo needed to go out more and more frequently, and came back with injuries more and more frequently. He didn't care about Lu You. The initial clumsy movements forced Lu You, who was the only one to practice, to finally practice a steady and fast bandaging technique.
It was of course the Temple that won in the end, and after that it took years to wipe out bits and pieces of the resurgence everywhere.For Lu You, the unchanging life seems to pass easily.After all, his class as a vampire is a little higher, and he has never been reversed by the serum like his sister, so he has never aged.Time froze on him, so much so that it gave people the illusion that it could last forever.
Lorna and the boy she mentioned to Lu You have always maintained a good relationship. They are both people who walk very slowly on the road of love. It took many years to change from friends to lovers, and then use After more years, they finally decided to use marriage to connect each other more closely.Her attitude towards An Tuo is not as close as it was when she was a child. To be precise, she has noticed something, so she no longer wants him to be with her brother anymore.An Tuo caught her deliberately inviting a tall, handsome and young male colleague who had a good impression of Lu You after meeting him at an academic conference held by Hearst to come to her home to play. Before the wedding, there are still awkward emotions.
When Lu You adjusted the collar and back of the dress for An Tuo, he saw the image of them standing together in the mirror.They were wearing similar black dresses, and his hand was on Anto's shoulder, and Anto was staring at him in the mirror, at the thin silver chain that was still shining around his neck, and the ring was hidden in the mirror. Inside neckline.Lu You has never really put it on.There is a seven-year age difference between him and An Tuo. Although An Tuo was already taller than him when they first met, he could still see the youthfulness in the details of his face and figure.After his time had been stagnant for so long, the sense of age between them was finally reversed.
The wedding chants sounded.Lu You gently pushed him. "Let's go," he said.At this moment, he had a premonition of something that he had been waiting for.
Follow the cobbled path to the carpet for the wedding protagonist.Lorna was wearing a light blue dress, and instead of waiting for someone to lead her and hand her hand to the groom according to the traditional habit, the two directly stood under the flower bridge arm in arm.Seeing her brother appearing from a distance, she raised her arms and waved to him, still exactly the same as when she was a child.
They walk over.The little girl standing on the side of the road with a flower basket was not familiar with the process, so when she saw someone passing by, she grabbed a lot of petals from the basket.Multicolored, soft and fragrant fragments sprinkled into the air, and fell one after another, like a dreamy rain that has been overdue for many years.
Amidst the music of the ceremony, Lu You heard the sound of the system announcing the end.
He didn't choose to leave immediately, and exchanged with the system for a year.His physical condition will decline rapidly throughout the year, until he finally collapses.It took a lot of effort to convince his sister that this wasn't a side effect of the buffer plan, and to convince Hearst to help hide the truth from Anto, lest he try to change or delay the inevitable outcome.
The quality of the "survival time" redeemed from the system with points was good. Until the last moment, he didn't feel any pain due to the gradual collapse and shutdown of body functions.
Where your eyes can't reach, hand over your fate to a force you can't control, and escape from your carefully constructed cage.
Turned into ashes, thrown into the sea.Let the familiar coldness and darkness surge to swallow up the last trace.
--do not.
That's how the move was decided.An Tuo took care of everything with super high efficiency. Lu You only stayed at Hearst's house for two days, and on the third day, he moved into the two-story building whose ownership had been transferred and the furniture inside had been replaced.
An Tuo moved almost all the furniture from the original home. He was also very dissatisfied with the terrazzo floor laid by the original owner of the new home, and planned to replace it all with an overall wooden floor.The lawn outside the house is well-groomed, the green grass is neatly trimmed, and the residents on both sides are separated from the residents on both sides by a kind of low shrub with dark green leaves and full of thorns that Lu You doesn't recognize.
The automatic watering nozzle in the center of the lawn was hit by a lawn mower, and it sprayed water intermittently. An Tuo directly removed it and threw it away, preparing to be self-reliant in the future.
The dog house on the side of the house was cleaned very well. The original owner left a dog food bowl, drinking fountain and a few dog chew toys.

Anto once made such a request to Hearst, but Hearst flatly rejected it on the grounds of "waste and inefficiency".Therefore, after the previous serum injections, Anto had to pester him for a long time until he became familiar with the aura on his body again, but now this kind of intimacy was explicitly forbidden by Hearst.He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then turned to lie on the edge of the bed in a position that seemed very uncomfortable, and finally squeezed into the bed without holding back.
Although the bed in the infirmary was a bit small, it was enough for two people to hug each other and lie down.Lu You had always felt that An Tuo's body temperature was too high, but at this moment, his fever-like body was leaning against his arms, but it felt very comfortable.After the effects of the serum stabilized and the pain gradually eased, he fell asleep again in a daze.
An Tuo didn't go to dinner, and didn't force him to take him home, just hugged him and spent the night on the slightly crowded bed.Throughout the night, Lu You could always feel his presence in his sleep, as if a part of his body and mind had been calling each other gently.The next morning, while Hearst was in the kitchen frying eggs for breakfast, Lorna slipped into the infirmary and stood by the bed, looking at Anto, who opened her eyes as if she hadn't slept at all. After staring wide-eyed for a moment, he sneaked out lightly.
Lu You never thought of deliberately keeping his relationship with An Tuo from his sister, but he also didn't think of exposing it like this.He didn't know about the incident that morning, and after that, he still took care not to be too intimate with An Tuo in front of his sister, while An Tuo and Lorna behaved as usual.It wasn't until two years later that her younger sister graduated from elementary school, and on the way back from the ceremony, she pulled Lu You with one hand and An Tuo with the other, and asked them "when are you going to get married" with excitement that has not yet dissipated, Lu You didn't know that she had discovered it long ago. .
Married... He turned his head to look at An Tuo, An Tuo suddenly realized, with a clear expression on his face, "So there is still such an operation".My sister also actively advises him on what commemorative gifts should be given when proposing, such as high-level vampire fangs obtained by herself... Although Lu You and she are still members of vampires, they also have Unanimously looking forward to bad luck with high-level vampires.
This is indeed a good option, but unfortunately it has long been used up.Because not long after they moved to the place where they live now, Anto changed the habit of letting others handle the prey, and began to bring back two sharp fangs soaked in holy water and polished smooth after each mission, like a Some kind of voucher was handed over to Lu You.
Every time Lu You received this horrifying gift, he always felt that An Tuo was saying that "I have eliminated the things that disturbed our relationship."He collected those teeth in a glass jar and put them on the bookcase, together with the notes and materials he had been studying with Hirst.
Anto did not reveal to Lorna what gift he was going to give until the end of the day.He didn't move for the next week, as if the conversation never happened.Lorna was actively insinuating at the beginning, but a few days later she heard something and gained a new understanding. She ran over to apologize to Lu You with frustration, and asked him, "Did I make your relationship worse?"
She met her new school classmates early on over the holidays and befriended one of the boys from a single-parent family while out to dinner.The boy's parents had never been married, and his mother gave birth to him as a bargaining chip for marriage, but she failed to change from a lover to a wife as she wished, and was abandoned instead. "I should have asked you secretly first." Lorna pouted and said, she has grown a lot taller in the past two years, but she still looks childish than girls of the same age, she still likes to hug her brother's arm and act like a baby, " It was you who asked for marriage, so why is An Tuo taking the initiative in everything?"
Witnessing how Lu You and An Tuo got along, she subconsciously fixed one party's weak position, which is indeed the case.Lu You was surprised that her views had changed in such a short period of time, and encouraged her to communicate more with that new friend.In order to avoid her thinking too much, Lu Youyin went to the things that he never thought of to make the relationship better before, but just assured her that there was no problem between him and An Tuo - the once broken family was the deepest part of the younger sister's insecurity Source, her heart yearns for a stable relationship, whether it is her own or that of her family.
Lu You tested a few times and confirmed that Lorna did not have the tendency to sacrifice herself in order to maintain an unworthy "stable relationship", so she was relieved.He has no experience in teaching his younger sister or raising a daughter. Facing the extremely plastic future of young human beings, he always feels in a hurry, lest he inadvertently give wrong guidance.
After all, he and An Tuo, as well as Hearst, who comes and goes like a stream of lovers when he is happy, and sees everyone as trash when he is unhappy, are not good guiding examples.Lu You sometimes thinks that maybe it is the influence of her younger sister and the target's parents, the loving couple who have passed away, that has been silently continuing on her younger sister, allowing her to turn a blind eye to the crooked road that is close at hand, and grow up tenaciously. The most normal of this eccentric family of four.
A week later, An Tuo brought back a plain silver ring that seemed to have been made with no thought.It was late at night when he got home, Lu You was still up, and he was struggling with Hester's new "homework" in front of the desk, and the whole house was only lit by the light of the small lamp beside him.An Tuo walked in, with the coolness of Yelu on his body, approached him from behind, turned his face and kissed him on the back of the chair.
An Tuo's expression was serious, even a little serious.He put the ring into Lu You's palm. It was a silver circle that was polished to the point of no pattern or shape. There was only a small uneven place on the inside. Lu You picked it up and looked at the light for a while. , Only then did I realize that they were two variant letters engraved by hand: L and Y.
There was a slight movement in his heart.The target's initials should be LG...
"...Why are these two words." He asked with a smile, "Did you engrave a love sentence?"
Anto said nothing.He checked the information and asked others for this ceremonial token. He originally decided to engrave his initials, but he changed his mind for some reason when he started.Before the person in front of him asked, he also thought that he wanted to engrave "Love You" (LoveYou), which he had never said bluntly before, but after being asked, he was a little uncertain.He likes to see this person showing anticipation and hiding it behind his smile as if embarrassed, but he can't understand why there is a slight sadness along with the anticipation.
Lu You watched An Tuo turn to the side of the chair, stretched out his hand, and touched his side carefully.That's where Anto's silver arrow had pierced him, seeing him as prey, when they first met.There were no scars left.
"I kept that arrow all the time," An Tuo said, "I never used it again...I took it apart and made this with the material in the middle." Their eyes stayed on the slender arrow together. on the ring.It lost its destructive appearance, worn away the sacred patterns that were once engraved, and changed from a weapon to a symbol of blessing.Lu You wanted to laugh a little inappropriately, he wanted to ask An Tuo if you were stupid?Using this kind of thing to make a ring, do you want him to remember the pain he caused every moment he wears it?
He didn't ask, because An Tuo turned to look into his eyes, just staring at him like that, slowly lowered his body, and half knelt down beside the chair. "I'm fighting against myself." He said a little abruptly, "and the part of me that feels happy when I hurt you." He said this sentence very slowly, and after he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, making Lu You a little The hand that was tightly placed by the side was gently pulled up, and did not fall down for a kiss, but just held it firmly.
"I won't hurt you any more," he whispered, "Please—"
The coolness touching his lips cut off An Tuo's unspoken words.The coolness comes from the silver ring, and also from Lu You's fingertips that are always as cold as ice. "If, I mean if," Lu You said softly, "I don't need you to fight against yourself, as long as you separate from me, or keep a distance... This is a simpler way. Such a thing, can you do it? ?”
The ring was loosely placed on his fingertips, and his fingertips lightly pressed An Tuo's lips, which was extraordinarily cold against the soft and hot color.The grip of An Tuo's fingers suddenly increased a little, and then relaxed before causing Lu You pain.He didn't move or speak, but slowly narrowed his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lu You withdrew his hand, hooked his fingertips lightly, and let the ring slide back into his palm. "You missed a chain." He said, "When I do experiments, I need to touch medicine, so I can't wear anything on my hands. There should be some leftover parts of that arrow, right? Then I'll give you... …three days.” He said the deadline, and then suddenly smiled inexplicably, “Gifts that are out of date may be rejected.”
Couldn't have asked for more.He thought to himself, this person is willing to suppress his own nature for him, what is he not satisfied with?
He touched An Tuo's frowning brow, and then patted his shoulder, "Okay, get up..."
This time it was Anto's turn to interrupt him.The young man jumped up from the ground in an elegant gesture, stretched his body like a hunter, and pushed Lu You into the chair.The chair is roomy enough to sit in front of the desk, with a black leather back and seat that contrasts absolutely beautifully with the white skin.As for how troublesome it is to clean up... leave it to the satiated initiator to worry about.
Three days later, Lu You put the ring on a necklace and put it around his neck.He didn't give An Tuo a chance to finish his proposal that night, and An Tuo didn't bring it up again afterwards, but accepting his gift was like making a promise.As soon as Lorna found the ring, she immediately forgot the complaints she had made to An Tuo before, and only knew that she kept repeating her wishes with a blushing face.Hearst, however, asked Lu You to take off the necklace and let her have a look after learning the source of the material. He took it in his hand and touched it several times carefully, showing a slightly surprised expression.
"There is a small tracking device in the silver arrow of the holy pattern, An Tuo didn't make that together?" She said, "Really, if this continues, I will change my opinion of him."
Lu You silently took the necklace back from her hand, and declined her joking proposal—she said that even if it wasn't for the progress of their relationship, in order to congratulate An Tuo for finally knowing a little restraint, a ceremony should be held to express celebrate. "Let's wait until Lorna's situation improves completely." He said to Hester.
Lorna has been using the serum.Subsequent treatments worked well, and her condition has remained stable.After she learned of the price Lu You paid for this, she lost her temper and refused, and was suppressed by Lu You and Hester.After that, Lu You noticed the similarity between his actions and An Tuo's - the kind of arrogance that firmly believed that what he did was correct and worthy when he paid for the one he loved.
For a few years, the way of getting along between Lu You and An Tuo was very normal, which aroused Hester's suspicion, thinking that An Tuo might have used some ulterior means to test it out every now and then.In addition to this little friction between her and An Tuo, because of the contributions of Lu You and Lorna, and another little vampire girl she adopted, her research on serum has made great progress. Adaptants that achieve complete reversal in a short period of time are recognized by the Temple, and more research efforts are invested.Not long after, the temple changed its style of conduct, no longer turning a blind eye to the low-level vampires wandering outside, and began to arrest them on a large scale.
There was general commotion between the lower ranks who voluntarily degenerated and the higher ranks who needed to develop descendants.Hearst's home and research institute were protected by the Templars. Lu You encountered an attack while cleaning up the dead animals left at the door. He got any cheap from him, but he was locked in by An Tuo afterwards, and exaggerated protective measures were arranged outside the house, and he returned to the original life of not going out all day.
Lu You didn't try to resist this time.Since An Tuo gradually learned to discuss with him before acting, although most of the time such a consultation is actually no different from a notification, and he is more used to it than before after all, he has less and less rejected An Tuo.He keeps in touch with his sister by video and phone calls, and the course is continuing. Anto will go to Hearst to fetch the documents and project materials that need his help, and send them back after he finishes.Apart from not being able to go out, life doesn't seem to have changed much.
The water temperature that was once cooled starts to heat up again.This process happens unconsciously...
The vampires who had difficulty developing descendants gathered together, and the older, dark forces that had been hidden for a long time also began to act.The monsters who had a premonition that they were about to perish launched two large-scale counterattacks and countless more sporadic resistances. An Tuo needed to go out more and more frequently, and came back with injuries more and more frequently. He didn't care about Lu You. The initial clumsy movements forced Lu You, who was the only one to practice, to finally practice a steady and fast bandaging technique.
It was of course the Temple that won in the end, and after that it took years to wipe out bits and pieces of the resurgence everywhere.For Lu You, the unchanging life seems to pass easily.After all, his class as a vampire is a little higher, and he has never been reversed by the serum like his sister, so he has never aged.Time froze on him, so much so that it gave people the illusion that it could last forever.
Lorna and the boy she mentioned to Lu You have always maintained a good relationship. They are both people who walk very slowly on the road of love. It took many years to change from friends to lovers, and then use After more years, they finally decided to use marriage to connect each other more closely.Her attitude towards An Tuo is not as close as it was when she was a child. To be precise, she has noticed something, so she no longer wants him to be with her brother anymore.An Tuo caught her deliberately inviting a tall, handsome and young male colleague who had a good impression of Lu You after meeting him at an academic conference held by Hearst to come to her home to play. Before the wedding, there are still awkward emotions.
When Lu You adjusted the collar and back of the dress for An Tuo, he saw the image of them standing together in the mirror.They were wearing similar black dresses, and his hand was on Anto's shoulder, and Anto was staring at him in the mirror, at the thin silver chain that was still shining around his neck, and the ring was hidden in the mirror. Inside neckline.Lu You has never really put it on.There is a seven-year age difference between him and An Tuo. Although An Tuo was already taller than him when they first met, he could still see the youthfulness in the details of his face and figure.After his time had been stagnant for so long, the sense of age between them was finally reversed.
The wedding chants sounded.Lu You gently pushed him. "Let's go," he said.At this moment, he had a premonition of something that he had been waiting for.
Follow the cobbled path to the carpet for the wedding protagonist.Lorna was wearing a light blue dress, and instead of waiting for someone to lead her and hand her hand to the groom according to the traditional habit, the two directly stood under the flower bridge arm in arm.Seeing her brother appearing from a distance, she raised her arms and waved to him, still exactly the same as when she was a child.
They walk over.The little girl standing on the side of the road with a flower basket was not familiar with the process, so when she saw someone passing by, she grabbed a lot of petals from the basket.Multicolored, soft and fragrant fragments sprinkled into the air, and fell one after another, like a dreamy rain that has been overdue for many years.
Amidst the music of the ceremony, Lu You heard the sound of the system announcing the end.
He didn't choose to leave immediately, and exchanged with the system for a year.His physical condition will decline rapidly throughout the year, until he finally collapses.It took a lot of effort to convince his sister that this wasn't a side effect of the buffer plan, and to convince Hearst to help hide the truth from Anto, lest he try to change or delay the inevitable outcome.
The quality of the "survival time" redeemed from the system with points was good. Until the last moment, he didn't feel any pain due to the gradual collapse and shutdown of body functions.
Where your eyes can't reach, hand over your fate to a force you can't control, and escape from your carefully constructed cage.
Turned into ashes, thrown into the sea.Let the familiar coldness and darkness surge to swallow up the last trace.
--do not.
