Chapter 10 ○ Past

Alain puts his hands in his pockets and walks slowly on the path.

The "work" of the flower shop has been easily completed, and Wei Haili seems to have learned the lesson of yesterday and does not intend to go out again.

After sitting on the back wall for a while, he was a little bored, so he planned to take a walk to pass the time.

This can be regarded as doing the same thing as my partner, starting from a strange mood.

The scenery in the evening is no different from what I saw before.

The night wind blowing by brought a little coolness, and the insects hid in the grass and made small chirps.

Alain looked at them one by one, and the usually lively and crowded streets were unexpectedly quiet at the moment.

It has to be said that this is a wonderful experience, like holding a glass of beer full of bubbles, the coldness of the wine flowing into the throat and the stimulation of the large piece of burning, stirring adrenaline and intoxicating the brain.

Alain rubbed his fingertips—the mental body that had eaten and drank had already automatically returned to the spiritual realm—enjoyed this time very much.

When I came back, I made a detour to the grocery store.

The unexpected acquaintance made Alain feel relieved, and recalling his childhood was also pleasant.After all, for the current situation of the young sentry, childhood is much richer.

When he arrived, the brunette was coming out to pour water, and saw him showing a warm smile.

"Have you eaten, Alain." Marincia asked kindly, and invited him in. "I still have some fruit pies here, if you don't mind."

Alain looked tentatively at the door, walked in and followed Marincia to the room.

This small house is roughly the size of Wei Haili's flower shop. The only lift-up window is the opening of the grocery store. In reality, it is just a narrow room filled with various snacks and simple daily necessities. .Opposite to the grocery store is where Alain is now. They are sitting on the clean floor with a round table in front of them and a TV next to it. Close to the bottom of the wall is a wardrobe and a neat stack of quilts.The mixed furnishings made Alain not sure whether to call this a living room or a bedroom.

"No, thank you." Alain shook her head, answering her previous inquiry.

Even so, Marincia enthusiastically filled the small round table with other food.

"This place is too small for you." Marincia looked around and smiled, "The s area where you live, the prosperity there is unimaginable. The last time I saw the legendary sentinel was when I was 19 years old." Time, but no matter whether it is a sentinel or a guide, there will be no good things here, such as war..."

"I am alone."

Recalling the past made Marincia a little dull, "Oh, of course." She raised her head, "Look at what I said, I'm so sorry, Alain. I'm not talking about you..."

Allen said he didn't mind at all.

Marincia: "Yesterday I hummed your song to Amy, and she was so happy. It's a pity that you came late today, otherwise you can meet each other, and I guess she will like you."

"How old is your daughter?"

"Five years old." The woman pushed the food in front of the sentinel, "but she is still a sleepy ghost." Pointing to the side of the opposite room, "She usually sleeps with me, but sometimes she goes to bed very early. Afraid of disturbing her."

After a pause, she glanced at Alain, and said cautiously: "I heard that in Area S, sentries and guides are usually paired, so that the children born in this way will have a high chance of awakening, just like their parents. I have been... very Worrying if Amy will be like her father. Her father was a sentinel."

Alain paused for a while while holding the water glass, and looked at her in surprise.

"I know it's strange to say such things. If Wei Haili wasn't there yesterday, I might...actually hear that you are from the S area, so I just want to see you. People like me can't enter there. Six or seven Years ago, there was a war going on everywhere on Rose Planet, and the sound of shells and gunfire almost became the alarm clock. But I still had to sell bread for my livelihood. It was he who saved me and helped me block the stray bullets. After that, we also Fantasies, he even hid in Burt Mountain and fought the people who came to capture him, anyway, it’s not something to be happy about.” Marincia frowned, but quickly calmed down, “I think he should be fighting with someone now. with a suitable guide. I didn't ask for more when he was dragged past my door bloodied and I already had Amy. Aline, as you may know, Pike Pi Yeah, how is he doing now?"

The woman's eyes were full of hope, which made Alain afraid to face her for a while.

"I'm sorry." He felt that every word he said was a sharp knife, "I haven't heard of this person."

As soon as the sound fell, the atmosphere in the room dropped significantly, as if it had experienced a howling wind in the cold winter.

"I can ask you when I get back." Alain responded quickly.

"Really..." Marincia's eyes dimmed, "I'm really sorry, Alain, for letting you hear such a bad story at night. I'm very grateful."

"No. The awakening age stipulated by the empire is between ten and thirteen years old, Amy, you can pay attention, during that time."

Marincia: "Thank you, Alein, thank you very much."

Afterwards, they chatted intermittently, and Marincia was still full of energy, as if the story she was telling didn't exist, or she wanted to try her best to dilute the inexplicable depression and sadness.

When Alain bid farewell, his arms were stuffed with snacks. Marincia stood at the door and waved to him, telling him to be careful on the road and inviting him to come again next time.The yellow light spots from every house are reflected on her still young face, but they can't illuminate the sadness that often floats in her eyes.

Alain embraced the pile of presents, feeling so strangely frustrated that he just wanted to walk in suspense.

This is not a good sign.

Sometimes mood swings can be the trigger for mania, even if you're not far from a flower shop.

A few puppies followed along the way, and Alain left the edible ones. They whined and ran over to lick his hands.

After walking all the way, Alain found himself walking back to the flower shop.

The night was full of moonlight, and Wei Haili, who refused to come out at first, was squatting on the side of the road smoking a cigarette.

The bright red sparks flickered on and off, reminding him of those small and faint lights on the street.

Alain walked to Wei Haili's side and squatted down.

"Well——" Wei Haili narrowed his eyes in the smoke, "The popularity is good, and there will be rewards if you go around."

Alain: "It's all from Marincia."

"Then she should have asked you about the whereabouts of some useless guy."

"How do you..."

Wilhelm smiled.

Alain lowered his head: "Yes. Unfortunately, I don't know, I'm really sorry."

"I'm really sorry." Wei Haili flicked off the cigarette ash, "Her parents died because of the war, she should have understood... well, little chick. I remember you stayed here for a few days, don't you have to go to school, Sentinel Exclusive school."

Alain: "Yes, I was dismissed."

Wei Haili seemed to be watching a good show: "Because of mania?"

"You know a lot." Alain looked at him, "Since you are not an ordinary person, why did you stay here?"

Fragments of soot fell from the burning butts.

Wei Haili smiled and spread his hands, shaking his head, regretting the sentinel's guess.

"Ordinary people can't grasp the spiritual body." Alain added, "You may be a sentry, but I hope you are a guide. What did you do to the central area so that they can let you go..."

Wei Haili's smile froze on his lips.

"I thought you came to complain to me and heard a sad story. Uncle, I rarely have time tonight."

Alain glanced at it, saw the vague killing intent in his dark blue pupils, and said calmly: "I am not sent by anyone, and I don't care about the affairs between you and the central area. I just want to talk to you." together."

"why?"

Alain: "I think you are beautiful, I thought so when I saw you for the first time."

"It's stupid to be fooled by appearances."

The legs that had been squatting for a long time began to go numb, and Alain let himself sit on it.

In front of them is a large mess of weeds, sensory detection also found a small river in the distance, shimmering under the moonlight.The air was full of fragrance, and Alain didn't know whether it was caused by the blooming flowers in the flower shop behind him or the pheromones volatilized from the adult man next to him.

In short, he was very useful, this evening.

So for Wei Haili's comments, I don't take it to heart at all.

"Nobody minded, including my parents, they just wanted me to be a sentinel. And I was. So they didn't care where I went."

Wei Haili didn't respond, so Alain said on his own.

He felt that today he was infected by Marincia's story.

"I've been planning to come to Area S for a long time." The young sentinel paused for a while, "I have a little sister, and they sent her away because the chance of awakening is only 2% when detected, and I'm afraid it's even less. We're ten years apart .Maybe I should be grateful for the chance of survival from the perennially clumsy machines at the Imperial Hospital."

Wei Haili let out a muffled laugh from the bottom of his throat, no one knew the meaning of this laugh.

The Luo-haired man lowered his head to extinguish the cigarette on the ground, and the ashes rubbed back and forth splashed on his round and clean nails.

"Time waits for no one." He stood up, "It's time for a beauty sleep after listening to the story."

Alain watched as the man's tall and straight figure slowly merged into the night.

He is wearing gray clothes today, a very simple one.

But the simpler it is, the easier it is to be buried.

Mottled tree shadows and some other invisible black shadows lay on his slender back, dense, as if silently carrying something.

The double doors of the flower shop squeaked in the dark night.

He went in, facing the closed door.

When it was about to close, Wei Haili suddenly raised his head.

"I forgot," he said. "Good night, dear Alain Eyder."

The flower shop's double doors closed softly.

Alain: "..."

Is there something wrong with how things are going? !

After hearing his "miserable" past, shouldn't he sigh so pitifully? By the way, since he has nowhere to go, he should live in a flower shop, right? !

Alain turned his head in silence.

Is not it……?
