Chapter 400 We are far more greedy than we think
The weather that day was originally very good, and the light blue sky looked particularly open. Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were about to go out for a walk under the sky in a foreign country, but they did not expect that it started to rain lightly not long after, and the man named Ha
Sai Lain's man suddenly arrived and left quietly.
After he left, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi did not leave the cafe.
They were sitting opposite each other by the window. Xia Mi was lost in thought looking at the drizzle of rain outside the window. Chu Zihang also looked at Xia Mi lost in thought.
No one knew what Xia Mi was thinking. Maybe she was thinking about the name that shocked her - Edcho, or maybe she was wondering where Hasai went and which burial ground she chose.
And Chu Zihang was thinking about what the dragon world was like. They seemed to have far more than what the hybrids expected.
The man named Hase Lain looked very serious when he asked him to take care of his junior brother, and he felt relieved, as if a thought was finally over, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes showed a sense of loss again.
It's like I've lost something important.
Doesn't he know that his junior brother has awakened?
Now the junior brother, he is the only one who can take care of others, right?
But as Chu Zihang's thoughts fluctuated, he seemed to understand what he meant.
Even if he is as noble as the emperor in the ancient palace, he still needs countless people to serve him in his life.
And whether a person is strong or not is not linked to what others want and can take care of him.
Chu Zihang laughed silently. It turned out that many years later, Eunuch Lu became the emperor, but General Chu entered the palace.
He looked out the window at the gray sky covered with rain clouds, and his smile finally disappeared and turned into a sigh.
Maybe humans really have never understood the dragon clan.
The rain that afternoon was very hazy, but it stopped as dusk approached. The sun's rays from the sea covered half of the city, and the dim sunlight shone through the glass windows and fell on the tables of the cafe.
During this period, only Xia Mi calmly said a word.
"Hasai is dead."
Chu Zihang turned his head and looked at the quiet and peaceful city under the sun, thinking that this man who was suspected of controlling Rhine was so quiet when he died.
When the twilight sun slowly set from the end of the city, Chu Zihang put down the cold coffee cup, stood up and stretched out his hand to Xia Mi.
"Let's go back."
Xia Mi nodded slightly, held his hand, and clasped his fingers tightly, his palm still feeling moist and warm.
They left coffee money on the table, walked out of the cafe holding hands, and walked in the dusk of a foreign country.
There was some water on the ground after the rain. Sometimes Xia Mi took long strides and sometimes jumped over the puddles of water, but he never let go of his hand.
"Sir, wait a moment!"
Suddenly a call came from behind them.
The waiter from the cafe came from behind and handed them back the coffee area they placed on the table.
"Sir, you are the boss's friends. You don't need to pay. Please keep it." The waitress gasped slightly and showed a bright smile.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi looked at each other, and Xia Mi asked in a low voice: "Is Hasei Lain your boss?"
"Yes." The waitress smiled and nodded, "If nothing happens, I will go back first. I still need to take care of the store. Mr. Hasay is stingy, and he only wants to hire me as a waiter."
After saying that, she bowed slightly, stepped briskly on the water on the ground, turned around and ran towards the well-lit cafe that stood in a corner of the city.
But Chu Zihang didn't know how to tell her about the man's death.
Even if the latter had already left eggs for the first generation, it would be thousands of years later.
It is really incomprehensible. A noble first-generation man opened a cafe with good lighting in this city, but was stingy and only willing to hire one waitress. Would he sit in the corner by the window every day and quietly
Looking quietly at the endless flow of cars and people outside the window, and the sunlight shining through the sea in the distance?
At this moment, Chu Zihang realized something deeply.
Every dragon race has the same life as hybrids.
…
…
Not long after Lu Mingfei left the equipment department, he received a call from his senior brother.
He squatted beside a bench by the roadside and scratched his disheveled hair.
It was already dusk in Copenhagen, but it was still just noon in Chicago, and the sky was high and cloudy.
He listened to his senior brother talk about his trip in Denmark and his next plan, and then heard him mention a familiar name - Hasse Laing.
Memories surfaced. Lu Mingfei remembered that Hasai was a disciple of Hephitus. In his memory, Hasai was still a vigorous boy who was somewhere between a teenager and a young man.
He was far from grown up at that time, and even once broke into the temple by mistake, and was taken back by Hephitus and gave him a severe lesson.
But the Hasse Laing described by his senior brother is already able to face life and death calmly, which is very different from the appearance in his memory. He has grown up.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei stood up and sat on a bench nearby, feeling a little tired.
He slowly leaned back and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was a small figure next to him.
Lu Mingze sat next to him and hummed softly, the same song "Forget Me Not".
Seeing him open his eyes and looking at him, the little devil who hadn't seen him for a long time said with a smile: "Brother, do you miss me? You must miss me after not seeing me for so long! Oh, don't want it too much, just think about it a little bit every day
alright."
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and tapped him lightly on the head.
"In the name of Hasai, remember to pay that waitress's salary on time in the future." Lu Mingfei said softly, "That child seems to have grown up, and is completely different from the Hasai I remember."
"Brother, everyone will grow up. Some people never grow up because someone protects them well, but the person who protects them will leave one day, and the children raised in the greenhouse will eventually learn
Face the cruelty of the world." The little devil stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's face, smiling, "Just like you, you have grown up, they all say you have awakened, but in fact you have not awakened, you just took back
The strength he once had, and then he grew up. Even if you think of the past, you are no longer the same person."
"The person who takes care of me, do you mean yourself?"
"Obviously not, or not just." Lu Mingze regretted, "If it were just me, you wouldn't want to go back to before everything happened. It's all the people you have met in this life, it can be
Nuonuo, Chu Zihang, Ling, Fingel, Caesar, it could also be Angers, Flamel, or even that bald guy from Gao Tianyuan, Brother Dao, whom I haven't seen for many years."
"You miss them, just like you miss your life as Lu Mingfei, and refuse to go back to the original moment, so you don't wake up, you just grow up."
"Yes, how can you not grow up? You wander in the wasteland world, facing the cruelty of the world alone like a lonely ghost. You personally collect the bones of those who once took care of you, and the pain eats away at you.
When your heart becomes numb, it’s also when you grow up.”
Lu Mingze raised his head and smiled: "Brother, congratulations, you have found those who take care of you and have the life you want."
Lu Mingfei stared into Lu Mingze's eyes and said nothing.
Has he already had the life he wanted?
He succeeded in getting his senior brother and junior sister to break the fateful gap and come together. He also succeeded in rescuing Eri and being able to stand by her side. However, he still failed to prevent some people from taking the initiative to move towards their fate, such as Qilan.
Or Frost.
He once thought that his heart was so small that he could only let go of the people around him, but he discovered not long ago that the people in his heart were actually far more than he thought.
He is not only Lu Mingfei, but also the high heavenly king of the Dragon Clan. No matter how hateful and dangerous some guys are in the eyes of hybrids and humans, in front of him, they are still ministers in front of him.
This destined him to be unable to face the Presbyterian Council and the rest of the Dragon Clan from a completely mixed-race standpoint.
"In your eyes, what exactly is the life I want?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"If you have friends and lovers, you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life. It is best to be a fat boy in the end." Lu Mingze sighed, "Brother, you are really not greedy at all sometimes. Even if you are saving the earth, you are not greedy at all.
For the grand theme of humanity and love, save the people you care about."
Lu Mingfei did not answer.
"Brother, the time is coming. I'm ready. You can come and greet me." Lu Mingze said with a smile.
Lu Mingfei's eyes moved slightly, and he looked down at Lu Mingze: "Are you finally ready?"
"Yes, I have been preparing for a long time." Lu Mingze sighed, "I have made too many preparations for the day when we really meet again. Seeing that you are living so well now, I have never looked forward to this so much.
The day has come."
"what you up to?"
"Do something that you and I both long for." Lu Mingze raised his smile.
"Mingze, do you really think you understand me?" Lu Mingfei said softly, "In my memory, it seems that you have never told me what I really want in advance. Some people say that you are a little devil who understands people's hearts.
, stepping on his bottom line and negotiating a deal with him, so that he has no right to refuse, but have you successfully completed four transactions with me in these hundreds and thousands of years?"
Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I am a devil, and devils understand people's hearts, but brother, you are not a human being. You have been sitting alone in that temple for so long, who can understand you?
"
"At this time, you admit that I am him." Lu Mingfei chuckled, "You are really good at avoiding the important and taking the easy. Forget it, since you are ready, I will arrive as promised."
"Okay!" The little devil jumped down from the bench, "Then I'll wait for you to pick me up and take me home."
"Brother, do you still remember when we soared in the sky and circled the earth together?" Lu Mingze turned around and smiled.
Lu Mingfei sat on the bench, looked directly into Lu Mingze's eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, we were just born at that time. From now on, we are the first pair of creatures born in this desolate world. The world should belong to us.
of."
"But the world really belongs to us!" The little devil opened his hands with a look of madness on his little face, "Brother, sometimes you think too much. If you look forward and backward, you will only lose more things. You don't want to lose
, but hesitation will make you lose more. This is a vicious cycle. You must break this cycle and let go of some things. If you choose to embrace the present, you must give up the past, let go of those old memories, and use your current attitude
Go meet your new life!"
"And in fact, you have already made your choice."
"Haven't you discovered it yet? You appear in this world as you are now because you made a choice. As you said, I never persuaded you to complete four transactions because you refused to return
Go to the past. And this is your choice, you choose a new life."
"And if you have already made a choice, then don't regret it anymore and cherish everything you have now. This is what you should do."
The little devil spoke very softly, but very forcefully, with a rare seriousness, and every word seemed to burst out from the roots of his clenched teeth.
This seemed to be a shocking speech, but Lu Mingfei felt a little ripple in his heart. It seemed that he had understood this truth for a long time, but this was never a world where understanding could be followed. There was always something like this or that.
The fetters prevent us from moving forward.
In a daze, he seemed to hear Edjo whispering in front of him again
"Your Majesty, you no longer need us to help you in your life."
is that so?
Yes, he no longer needs them to guide him in his life.
Maybe Mingze is too.
But this doesn't mean... I will lose you.
"Brother, we always have to make a choice, but at least, we can make the choice that is best for us at the moment."
The little devil left his last words of motto, and the figures walked away with their backs to him as before, disappearing like a bubble at the end of the road.
Lu Mingfei was sitting on the bench. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking except himself.
Perhaps the one who truly understands oneself best in this world is always oneself. No matter how well others understand people's minds and are good at observing words and emotions, in the end they can only read the superficial and seemingly inner things.
Lu Mingfei raised his head. It was the autumn of 2011. The sky above Kassel was vast and blue, and no terrifying dark clouds were falling from the sky. The world still maintained peace, and there was no sign that the world was about to be destroyed.
signs of.
Those bad changes haven't come yet, but the forks in the road where he must make choices are already on the road. He doesn't want to move forward, but time will not stand still.
Yes, they always have to make the final choice. They can't escape or look back, but at least... they can make the right choice.
Does correctness equal advantage?
Lu Mingfei thought about it for a long time.
And the person who is waiting for some answers is not only the boy named Lu Mingfei, but also a man who has been waiting for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and has been sitting alone for too long.
He wanted to know what destiny was and what a reason was.
Until another person whispered to himself in his heart——
We are far more greedy than we think.
