Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 290 Will you be my family?

Moreover, he believed in Zhou Mingrui... Benson glanced at Zhou Mingrui beside him and finally made up his mind. He looked at Luo Lin and said, "I have no problem signing this agreement. However, Melissa is still young and may have to wait until she finishes college before she can officially work. I wonder if you can allow this?"

"...Okay." Luo Lin looked at him, saw his little thoughts, and nodded indifferently.

For Luo Lin, the Moretti siblings are positioned as "emotional comforters" and they don't need to do any real work. It is enough for them to be a stable anchor for Zhou Mingrui.

After all, everything Rowling did was just to further test whether the Moretti family was worth Zhou Mingrui's efforts.

Who made him always be a guy who protects his own people?
After both parties reached a consensus, Benson and Melissa signed the work agreement without hesitation. Rowling put the agreement away and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped--"

A scholarly figure quickly emerged in the air. Klein Moretti opened his eyes in confusion, his gaze falling on the people around him, and he was stunned for a moment.

where is this?
Doesn’t he write in his diary at home?

"Klein!"

Just when "Klein Moretti" was confused, Melissa rushed over and hugged her silly brother.

"Melissa? Hey, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me..." "Klein Moretti", who was still in a daze just now, suddenly became flustered. He hurriedly tried to comfort Melissa who was hugging him and crying. After comforting her for a long time without any results, he couldn't help but look at Benson next to him for help, but found that there were tears in the corners of Benson's eyes.

This made "Klein Moretti" stunned for a moment.

After all, before today, he had never seen Benson like this. As the eldest brother of the Moretti family, no matter how sad he was or how many difficulties he encountered, Benson would never show such a vulnerable side in front of them.

So what exactly happened?
"Klein Moretti" was very confused.

This confusion didn't last long, because Benson later explained everything that had happened recently.

"So I'm already dead..." "Klein Moretti" looked a little dazed. He suddenly remembered that before he inexplicably opened his eyes in this future era, he was indeed writing in a diary, but he only wrote one sentence - "Everyone will die, including me."

And then... then he might really die.

Klein Moretti felt a mixture of emotions for a moment, but looking at Melissa crying and Benson trying to remain calm, he sighed and said with a smile:
"Don't be sad. Even though I... uh, died, I'm alive again now, right? Even if I'm only resurrected one day every three months, I'm still alive! I'm already very lucky, so don't be sad for me anymore. You should be happy. Even if we can only see each other once every three months, it means I can always be with you."

"I, I know, I just can't help it..." Melissa choked. She knew she should be happy for this loss and recovery, but she still couldn't help crying.

This may be because of sadness, or it may be because of happiness.

Benson wiped his eyes with his hand and said nothing. Seeing this, Klein Moretti consoled them a few more times. Once they calmed down, he suddenly looked at Zhou Mingrui beside him and did something no one expected.

Because "Klein Moretti" suddenly hugged Zhou Mingrui very tightly and patted him on the back.

"Brother, I'm so glad you traveled through time and space to my body. You've taken really good care of Benson and Melissa, much better than I ever could. I'm so glad that after I die, there's someone who can take care of them in my place. This is truly wonderful!"

Klein Moretti said this, releasing Zhou Mingrui with a grateful and sincere expression. He suddenly reached out and pinched Zhou Mingrui's face, then smiled and said, "So don't feel guilty. I don't blame you at all for taking my place. It's not your fault. You've done a great job."

Zhou Mingrui's expression was confused at first, then became complicated. He looked at "Klein Moretti", who did not avoid his gaze. The two pairs of similar yet different eyes met at this moment.

"...You really are like me!" Klein Moretti suddenly said with a sigh. He then added somewhat dejectedly, "If only we had met sooner, we would have become very good friends."

The next second, Klein Moretti regained his spirits and said to Zhou Mingrui, "But it's not too late to get to know him now."

He suddenly extended his hand to Zhou Mingrui and said, "Hello, I'm Klein Moretti. I wonder if you would like to become my friend, my family?"

Zhou Mingrui looked at the hand and hesitated for a moment. Then he smiled, shook the hand, and nodded heavily: "Hello, I'm Zhou Mingrui. I'm very happy to be your friend and your family."

"Haha, that's great! I have another family member now." Klein Moretti laughed happily. He then stared at Zhou Mingrui for a few more seconds before suddenly speaking thoughtfully, "By the way, your name sounds strange. I've never seen a name like it before."

"Probably because the times are different." Zhou Mingrui replied, obviously in a good mood.

"So you really are from a long, long time ago?" Klein Moretti's eyes were filled with curiosity.

Zhou Mingrui hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Then can you tell me about that era? I'm really curious..." "Klein Moretti's" eyes were frighteningly bright, and he asked a series of questions. It was obvious that he was really curious about this.

Although Zhou Mingrui was a little surprised, he still answered these questions one by one.

Klein Moretti's face lit up with satisfaction. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhou Mingrui and said, "By the way, have you ever considered taking a name appropriate for this era? You used my name before, and I don't mind, but if you mind, how about I be called Big Klein and you Little Klein from now on?"

In Loen, it was normal for fathers, sons, brothers, etc. to use the same name and differentiate between them based on age.

Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment. He glanced at "Klein Moretti," then at Benson and Melissa. Seeing the encouragement in their eyes, Zhou Mingrui suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll call you Little Klein."
