Kong Mu Teru, who had entered the role of an old father and his father-in-law, was talking about the car wheel back and forth. Luther wanted to tell him not to judge others by yourself, but considering that the atmosphere of today's conversation had been good, he finally held back.
No matter how much he explained, it was useless. After all, Kongmu Teru realized that he could no longer influence Luther, and his guilt for Mai turned into worry, and then turned into testing Luther again and again.
At this time, he was a real father, not a businessman discussing interests and values.
At the same time, it is also his last trace of control that is causing trouble, but sooner or later it will disappear over time.
Only at that time, Mai may once again examine her relationship with Toru Kongmu, and the father and daughter can usher in true reconciliation.
The snoring of Kong Muche gradually started as he drank the fragments.
Unlike last time, this time he was really drunk.
Perhaps because he drank a lot, Luther also felt a little dizzy and physically exhausted.
After saying hello to the housekeeper, the servants carried the drunken Toru back to the room, while Luther visited Mai's room under the leadership of the housekeeper.
In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. When Mai left, she had almost moved the room, and the space where the wardrobe used to be was left vacant, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Since the young lady left home, the master blamed himself very much. He didn't know what he had done wrong and often got himself drunk. It was only after Master Hui was born that the master gradually came out."
It's good. After experiencing so many things, Toru Kongmu faced his past self for the first time, admitted that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and admitted that his excessive desire to control made Mai very uncomfortable, which ultimately led to the father-daughter relationship.
Cut off ties.
"Take your time."
Luther knew that the old butler wanted to speak for Kongmu Che, but this matter was ultimately between Mai and Kongmu Che. He could only bring some ideas to the matter, but could not help Mai make a decision.
After leaving Kongmu's house, Luther found a hotel in Yangxin City and decided to rest there for one night to relieve the fatigue of the long journey.
The sleepiness quickly made Luther fall asleep, but in his dream he always felt like something was pushing him.
Fatigue continued to pull Luther into a deep sleep, and it was not until he saw the shadow of Darkrai in his dream that he woke up in a daze.
Luther had a splitting headache. He thought it was caused by him not drinking for a long time and drinking too hard all at once. However, after taking two sips of tea, he was shocked to realize that his body was very weak and his hands and feet were also very weak.
The dream demon took off the clock from the wall, floated it in front of Luther and shook it.
Luther was shocked. It was already the evening of the next day.
I slept for almost a whole day!
"Oops, oops."
Luther hurriedly changed into the clothes he had washed last night. While changing, he asked the dream monsters why they didn't wake him up.
The dream monsters in the room, Gardevoir and Darkrai looked at each other, and finally Darkrai, who sneaked into Luther's dream and woke him up, spoke.
"We yelled and pushed, but she didn't wake up."
"Gardevoir said, let you sleep more."
"You are sick."
Luther didn't know whether to be angry or relieved. If it were any other day, he wouldn't be so anxious, but today is his birthday.
Luther also knew that he was sick. Being trapped in a dream and unable to get up was actually a physical warning, not to mention the symptoms of cold sweat and weakness after getting up.
There was a thermometer in the room. Luther measured it, glanced at the number on it, and hesitated for a while.
"The problem seems... not too big?"
Luther put the thermometer back in place and found that his phone had long been out of battery, and sighed helplessly.
"It's too late to think about what gifts to give... Let's go home first."
Sensing Luther's urgency, the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird flew very quickly.
When the fossil pterosaurs and fire-breathing dragons appeared in the sky, Luther knew that this place was very close to the island.
Viewed from the air, the lights on Qidao were unusually warm, and Luther couldn't wait to wrap himself in a warm blanket and nestle on the sofa.
A rest notice board has been erected at the Elf Center, and the three-in-one magnet monster at the entrance of the power station has also expanded its range of activities.
"Looks like they all got there." Luther thought to himself.
When walking near Sirona's villa, noisy sounds could be heard.
"Wu Song, I've told you several times that you eat food as soon as it's on the table, pretending I can't see you?" Huo Yan scolded, "It's Mai's birthday, let Mai eat first, do you understand the rules?"
Huo Yan is actually scolding Wu Song, which is so interesting.
"It doesn't matter if you train at home. I just came back from Qifeng City. I spent two days rescuing people in the mountains. All I ate was hard dry food. I finally managed to get a mouthful of warm food. Can you take pity on me?"
"
"Besides, Mai won't mind." Wu Song added.
"Okay, no matter how hard you bury him, you can't stop him. He and Yang Bai are the dedicated pioneers on Qidao, and they work much harder than us." Kikuno said.
"Where are the Sirona people?" Akui's voice rang.
Shijana seemed to be chewing something, and her voice was a little blurry: "Senior Sirona seems to be brushing the dungeon online with Senior Karuna. He has been dead all afternoon. The level designer has also been cursed by them all afternoon. He probably failed to pass the level.
It won’t come out.”
"Fat Keding, big-mouthed kid, go check out the situation." Mai ordered.
"What's going on with the old man? I saw him here just now."
Dawu was still on the island, and Luther thought he was wandering around again, digging for rocks.
"Oh, he went to the ice room to bring wine to the group of newcomers. Anyway, they are all on the island, so having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone."
"How many research institutes are there?"
"I went to the Eastern District yesterday to observe the behavioral patterns of wild elves in cold weather. I haven't come back yet."
Luther opened the door and happened to hear Adek's voice.
"My Fire God Moth went with them. This group of researchers doesn't even have a powerful elf. If they encounter any special situation, they must not overturn. Luther won't give them any training. After all, it's in the name of the island.
The established research institute.”
"Luther is back." Cattleya's voice suddenly silenced the noisy hall.
It is convenient to have superpowers. Cattleya has already sensed Luther while he was still in the entrance hall.
Seeing Luther show up, Wu Song couldn't help but sigh: "I want to have it."
"You won't find it interesting if you have it. It's troublesome to control and use it, and it will make you sleepy."
Cattleya says this to everyone who pursues superpowers, but people who have never had one cannot empathize with her, and all they can think of is "we'll talk about it later".
Miaomiao floated out from Luther's collar and helped him pull out the chair next to Mai, while Gardevoir hung up the clothes Luther had taken off.
"Sorry, something happened on the way and I came back late."
Originally, they wanted to ask Luther why he had been out for so long, but seeing Luther's tired look, everyone simply stopped talking about that.
"It's too late to choose a gift for you. I'll make it up for you later." Luther whispered to Mai.
"No need, just go home." Mai smiled and asked Gilly Dan to bring all the meals prepared in the kitchen.
"Eat, Mira and the others have been busy for a long time."
"Actually, I've always thought it's okay not to celebrate, but I felt like everyone wanted to take the opportunity to eat, drink, and go crazy, so I made it a little more refined."
Luther also laughed.
Indeed, living every day on Qidao is plain and warm, but over time there will always be a need for some sense of ritual and some carnival.
So Mai, who didn't even celebrate her birthday last year, did it with great fanfare this year, giving everyone a chance to have a carnival.
"Before we begin, everyone should have something to say to Mai, right?"
Wu Song has always been very capable, but Luther is not worried that he will make a declaration of arrogance on such occasions. After all, he has always been a person who can read the atmosphere.
The people present raised their glasses in tacit understanding. Although the drinks in the glasses were different, their minds were indeed the same.
