"I, I'm back." Although she didn't know if it was appropriate to say this, Elaine heard that when Leo was waiting for him in his room, she still knocked on the door, said hello, and then went in.
Of course, his greeting was meaningless. At this moment, the lion boy was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, so he couldn't hear it at all.
It's probably because he's tired. Elaine is aware of Leoport's physical condition. He can die from internal organ failure at any time, and his body is struggling on the edge of danger. Even if it can barely maintain normal functions, it will consume a lot of energy.
of.
Nowadays, the golden lion is snoring softly on the big bed specially modified for Elaine, just like the kitten that has always been weak, helpless and pitiful, making people want to protect him.
What are you thinking about? The white bear man shook his head and carefully placed the pile of books on his shoulders on the floor beside him. He also specially picked a dry corner to place the books, because Queen Greenville had some books in her collection.
Years have passed, and several of them are still out-of-print medical books. There are probably no more than ten copies in the world. The rarity of the books alone makes them priceless, not to mention the huge and precious knowledge hidden in the books.
He originally wanted to spend the night in the Queen's private library and spend as much time as possible reading these books, but Leo's arrival disrupted his plan. The White Bear Man had to choose books related to brain nerve surgery as much as possible.
He borrowed it, hoping that this professional knowledge would really come in handy at a critical moment. He didn't even have any expectations, thinking that these precious books would never be taken out of the library. But King Arthur was extraordinarily generous and allowed Elaine to borrow the books.
Gone.
His Majesty the King seems to be able to understand everything. Does he also know Elaine's intentions?
Not to mention this. After Elaine put all the books away, she turned around and glanced at Leoport. Of course, the lion boy was still sleeping and had no intention of waking up. Leo obviously came to talk to him, but he waited
I always felt a little embarrassed when I fell asleep on Elaine's bed for too long. But the golden lion slept so soundly, and the white bear couldn't help but hesitate to wake him up. Maybe he would wait until Leo wakes up early tomorrow morning
Would it be better to talk in detail than to wake him up like this?
No, it is better to wake him up. God knows if Leo has anything else to arrange tomorrow, what if he is delayed because of this.
Elaine walked to the bed and sat down, put her hand on the lion boy's shoulder, and shook it gently: "Lei, Leo?"
zzzzzzzzzzz.
He couldn't even shake himself to wake up. Leo was really too tired, and his sleep was like mud.
Elaine sighed, but was determined to wake up the lion boy, so he increased the intensity of shaking: "Leo, wake up."
"Leo?"
Elaine suddenly felt an electric shock-like pain on his palm. Memories suddenly came out like a tide. They were both very bad memories and also full of warm memories. The picture that appeared in his mind was of a cold cell.
Here, two children hug each other and snuggle together to keep warm.
The scene flashed by, and Elaine forgot it before he even had time to understand its meaning. No, it should be said that he sealed it subconsciously, because the past was too dark, too painful, too terrifying, and too painful.
He was so desperate that he didn't want to think about it anymore. If he didn't seal these dark memories in the deepest part of his heart, he would probably go crazy immediately.
But when he abandoned the past in order to protect himself, what did he throw away at the same time?
"Um...Elaine...?" Under Elaine's series of shaking, Leoport finally woke up: "Ah, I'm sorry, did I fall asleep?"
"Leo is sleeping. He seems to be asleep. I can't bear to wake you up." Elaine also apologized: "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." The lion boy climbed up from the bed and sat next to Elaine: "Okay, okay, now that I woke up and you are here... I want to tell you something.
."
"What...what happened?"
"You have to calm down and listen to what I have to say." Leo shrugged and tried to straighten his sitting posture, as if he felt that he should take a serious attitude before announcing important things: "I'll put my thoughts in
After I tell you, maybe you will hate me, maybe you will treat me like a monster. But I want to tell you, my thoughts about you will never change. Never in my life. So...
If you still think I'm a monster at that time, just do it like that. Stay away from me, treat me like that forever, and never see me again in this life."
"Uh...?" the white bear man said in confusion.
"I want...to be with you..." the lion boy blushed and whispered, "forever...together."
"What's the meaning......?"
"Just...together forever..." Leo lowered his head: "I want to follow you wherever you go. Whatever you want to do, I will do it with you. Even if it doesn't happen,
Any relationship is fine... As long as I stay by your side, I feel it is enough and I will feel happy. Is this... okay?"
Leo said this. Although she could only understand half of it, Elaine was indeed frightened: "But, where is your sister, your family, and the people in your family? What, what should I do? Doesn't Leo have money?"
Is this my young master? You don’t have to go back and inherit the family business?”
"I don't want to go anywhere." The golden lion whispered: "I have less than a year left to live... I just want to use the remaining time in this life to stay with you."
.....＂
"Leo..." The expression on the white bear man's face was confusion.
"As expected... it still doesn't work?" Tears rolled in the lion boy's eyes. He lowered his head and tried his best not to let the other party see: "As expected... it's still weird? Or, I just
A burden?"
"No, it's not..." Seeing Leo so disappointed, Elaine didn't know how to answer.
"I know, you don't remember me." Golden Lion whispered, his voice already changed due to sadness: "After so many years, you may have forgotten me completely and lived your life. But I have
I have never forgotten you, Elaine. I know that the scene where I met you in the amusement park today is not worthy of praise, but...if even today's encounter can't remind you of anything, then it means that
You really can’t remember anything, right?”
The white bear man blinked a little aggrievedly: "Yes, I'm sorry."
"No... I should be the one saying sorry. You have your own life, and you don't need me anymore. But I suddenly broke into your life, and I naively thought you would remember me and treat me well."
There is even a little bit of emotion left." Tears welled up from the little lion's eyes. After all, he couldn't stop it: "As a stranger, it is really strange to say these willful words to you without any foreshadowing."
"Leo..."
"But I won't change my mind. You will find that I am very stubborn. I still want to stay by your side. It's useless for anyone to stop me unless you kick me away." The lion boy was in a strange place.
Especially stubborn, "I want to stay with you until the end of my life. Even if I don't do anything, I just want to be with you. If you already have someone you like, I will leave silently. If you
If you really hate me, just say it clearly, drive me away, and let me completely give up. But if...if you don't hate me that much...even for a year.
.....a month...a week...one night...let me stay by your side."
Seeing the other party pleading like this, Elaine's heart began to soften. He actually didn't understand what was going on, but he could feel the sincerity in the other party's words.
And he has never been good at rejecting others.
"Leoko, you can stay..." Elaine whispered nervously: "Stay, stay here."
"Just here? Live together? You... don't mind?"
"No, I don't mind." The white bear man replied: "Leo feels lucky, as long as he is happy."
"Elaine..."
"I also like Leo. So I will protect you... I will save you... just wait." The white bear man whispered, even though he couldn't save you.
The plan to clearly explain to the Golden Lion------head transplant surgery or something, might scare Leoport.
From the beginning, Elaine planned to find a way to kidnap Leoport from his home, and then perform this head transplant surgery on the dying Leo, so that maybe there would be a way to remove the head of the lion boy from this dying body.
Remove it and replace it with another healthy body. The white bear man was worried about how to take the lion boy away from his home, but he didn't expect the child to come to his door by himself.
"Thank you!" As if he had misunderstood something, but he was immersed in joy because of it. The lion-man boy broke into tears and laughed, and excitedly plunged into the chest of the white bear man, hugging him tightly, while holding the white bear man there.
The fluffy hairy chest was crying and laughing.
Elaine was initially shocked by Leo's approach. He opened his arms with a red face and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. But with the warmth brought by the lion man holding him tightly, the white bear man naturally used his arms to
Leo hugged him from behind.
It was warm and soft, like holding a child. Leo was indeed a child, and Elaine felt as if he was holding his own brother or son when he held him.
Family?
Even though his brain was not working well, he seemed to vaguely understand why Leoport clung to him and wanted to stay by his side.
That’s actually not bad, right?
One hour later.
"Are you there...Elaine...?" Worried about Elaine, Bediwell came over for "ward rounds". He opened the door and was about to walk in when he heard two voices.
There was a deep snoring. It must have been a long day of work, and Elaine and Leoport were exhausted.
The werewolf youth peeked in through the crack in the door and saw the white bear Elaine and the lion boy Leoport hugging each other tightly and sleeping soundly on the bed.
"I like you the most... Elaine..." Burying his head in the White Bear Man's chest, the young man smiled happily and muttered in his sleep.
"Hmm." Bedivere frowned. It looked like two very close brothers hugging each other and sleeping together. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Am I overthinking..." he muttered in a low voice.
"Don't worry about young people's affairs." I don't know when, Paramedis appeared behind Bediville, so scared that Bediville almost shouted out ---Of course, after being
The cat covered its mouth with one hand to stop it.
"They certainly didn't do anything strange." Bedivere replied, "If Elaine thinks it's okay, I have no problem with it."
"You are just like a father who is worried about his children." Palamedes joked: "If you have to worry about everything around you, no matter how big or small, you will grow old very quickly."
