Longmen Memoirs

Chapter 26 Snow in Londinium

The late winter nights in Londinium were much colder than expected. Although it was far less than the cold snowfields in northern Ursus all year round, it was still cold for people like Chen Mo and Chen who had just climbed out of the icy river. The people who came up were actually not much different.

Chen's body was very weak and she was mostly in a semi-comatose state for the past few days. Even if she occasionally woke up, she was unable to relax her vigilance and eat the food provided because she was being held in an unfamiliar place. After her body regained her strength, she ran to this place without stopping and fell into the cold river water.

If it weren't for her strong will and her stubborn character, she wouldn't be able to survive now. Moreover, even so, she fell into a brief coma not long ago.

Chen Mo could feel Chen's body trembling slightly due to the cold, and his thin lips were turning purple at the low temperature.

They have temporarily lost the communication tool to contact the outside world, and it is not wise to choose to contact them at this time. Before the storm subsides, what Chen Mo has to do is to leave as soon as possible, and the relationship between him and the Glasgow Gang will be known in Londinium. Not a few people contacted me.

More or less, they can find some clues. After the [Master] reveals all this, the existence of Wei Na and the Glasgow Gang will inevitably become the focus of their attention.

Now the weird situation in Victoria has gradually become clear. This is not a good thing for Chen Mo, Wei Na and the entire Glasgow gang. When the situation was chaotic, they still had a chance, but this chance became more and more difficult as time went by. Fortunately, most members of the Glasgow Gang have evacuated, and Seria has also returned. Foxhound and his people will attract some of the attention to facilitate the final finishing.

Chen Mo should have evacuated at this time and took advantage of this most chaotic time to leave. The crow had already prepared the itinerary and route for him. All he needed to do was arrive at the agreed upon location on time.

But plans are never as fast as changes, or in other words, there will always be such big and small accidents in life.

Chen Mo and Chen changed clothes in a small 24-hour store. He carried Chen on his back and walked on the streets of Victoria late at night, heading towards the house rented by Chen outside the school.

There was light snow in the sky, and the dim lights of the street lamps lit up one after another, forming an endless line that mixed with the neon lights on the street to illuminate the street. When leaving the store, Chen Mo looked at I glanced at the time and saw that it was already late at night - 4:52.

Dawn is later in winter, and there are very few pedestrians on the road, most of them walking in a hurry. Fortunately, the security in the upper city has always been stable, and occasionally police cars can be seen roaring past.

“I’ve been to many places over the years, and it doesn’t matter if it’s tourism. There are many artists singing with violins and guitars on the streets of Leitania, which is similar to that of Longmen Pier, but it’s much more popular than that. "

"I learned it later with a junior who is much younger than me. However, her personality is a bit soft. I think she should be much better now. Why?... To be honest, I am actually envious. I remember you have played together before. , you also play the violin and perform at the orphanage on Christmas Day.”

"I've been to the shrine in Dongguo, and I don't know which god it is. They have a lot of such things there... I don't believe it, but there is a guy I know who does. I think he doesn't believe in gods, but Those who serve God, it seems that there are such characters over there, called witches or something?"

"What about you, what have you been doing all these years?"

"I know you will move out. After all, you didn't like staying at home before, so have you been living alone all these years?"

"She sounds like a mother-like person, her name is Wen...yue, right?"

"I actually don't hate him, not at all. On the contrary, I should be grateful to him. If it weren't for him, we might never have the chance to see each other again. You know, I never dared to think about this before."

"I don't have deep memories of him. I only remember that he rarely came back. Most of the time, my mother was the only one at home. She... later she kept telling me: It will get better, but she couldn't wait for that. when."

……

They talked quietly along the way, mostly with Chen Mo talking and Chen listening. Occasionally she would ask something, but they deliberately did not mention things that should not be mentioned.

It's like wanting to understand each other's lives for more than ten years, so as to make up for the memory gap when the other person is not around.

"When I was a kid, I thought about what it would be like to be carried on your back. I didn't expect that it turned out to be like this... No wonder she is so reluctant to let you go."

Chen said softly, slowly closing his eyes and pressing his cheek against Chen Mo's back.

"List."

"I am listening."

"Contact Bagpipe when you get back. I will leave when she comes. You are a student of the Royal Guards College and have connections with Longmen. Don't worry about getting into trouble. Regarding your disappearance, if that I'm smart enough to handle it for you."

Chen Mo said, but suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

"By the way, I forgot, this is what you learned."

Royal College of Guards, Bureau of Guards?It's really a good choice, Chen Mo couldn't help but think.

Chen Mo said, but did not hear Chen Mo's answer. She seemed to be asleep, and her steady breathing sounded from Chen Mo's ears.

"List?"

"..."

"I know you can hear..."

Chen's hand tightly around Chen Mo's neck told him that Chen could hear what she said, but she did not answer, pretending not to hear anything and just holding her shoulders tightly.

Reason told her that she should let go, but she couldn't agree with this idea. Instead, she tried harder, especially when she knew what Chen Mo was doing.

Chen Mo and she both knew.

I don’t know what to expect next time we meet again, maybe there will be no next time.

After Chen Mo told Chen all this, it meant that Chen Mo would never want to meet her again. She knew that Chen Mo was unwilling to involve her, and she also knew that what Chen Mo wanted to do was completely opposite to the path she had always taken.

Chen was very conflicted in her mind now. Two opposite thoughts filled her mind, leaving her with the only choice to purse her lips and tighten Chen Mo's shoulders without saying a word.

Just like before, I was afraid that if I accidentally let go, I would never find him again.

Chen Mo still remembered that when she first met her in the tavern, she told herself while shedding tears that she had lost us all, just like the precious toys she lost at the beginning could never be found again. where.

Foxhound said the same thing, but the difference was that he had found the things he had lost.

But what about yourself?

What did you lose again?

In fact, like Chen, I accidentally left her behind as I walked further and further away. Both myself and Tallulah left her behind. She wanted to catch up, but we didn't give her a chance.

But Chen Mo still had to say something, as if he was deceiving himself, even though he already knew what Chen was thinking.

"I can't stay here for too long." Chen Mo said:

"...we'll see you again."

"I can't hear you." Chen's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Mo's ears, an unexpected answer.

In Chen Mo's memory, she would never say anything like pretending to be stupid.

"List."

"I can't hear anything right now!"

Chen seemed to want to emphasize something and emphasized his tone.

The 22-year-old Chen is far from becoming the stubborn, rigid and strict Chen he was after his years in Longmen.

Chen Mo fell silent, and they were all silent for a while. Chen Mo turned his head and rested it on Chen Mo's back as if he was asleep, but Chen Mo could see her open eyes from the passing window glass.

Their eyes met on the display window, and Chen hurriedly closed his eyes as if guilty.

Chen Mo had to admit that the contrast at this moment broke his long-standing impression of Chen, but this impression was not unpleasant. On the contrary, she was much more kind and lovely like this.

But the word cute has never been the impression Chen left on people.

The apartment Chen rented was located on the third floor of an apartment building in the [-]th district of Londinium. It was only two blocks away from the Royal College of Guards. The old-fashioned apartment is so much nicer.

She lived mostly in this place during this period, and rarely returned to the college after getting the information that Foxhound deliberately let her get. In addition to the key to this apartment, she also had bagpipes.

But obviously the bagpipes are not here.

The sound of closing the door sounded behind him, and Chen Mo turned on the light in the room.

This apartment is not big, and the decoration is very simple. Apart from the necessary furniture, you can see a few dolls and potted plants placed outside the window sill. You don't have to think about it to know that it is a masterpiece of bagpipes, because Chen, for the most part, doesn't know how to do these things. , and don’t have the time to raise plants.

On the doors of the two bedrooms, there was a picture of a green wheat field hanging in one bedroom, so Chen Mo opened the door of the other bedroom.

Chen seemed to have really fallen asleep. She didn't wake up when Chen Mo covered her with a quilt. Her blue hair on her forehead was a little messy, and her long hair was spread out on the blue and white sheets.

Chen Mo closed the curtains on the window and walked to the bed to tuck her in. Just like Ms. Kamiya had done before, they seemed to be walking through their memories again.

It was just like that night, with light snow falling in the sky. He was holding Chen's hand and carrying Talulah on his back as he walked back to the orphanage. It was the last time the three of them passed by each other.

But neither Chen Mo nor Chen mentioned this matter. Although they both thought about it, they also knew that they were the only two left now.

The difference from before is that they are all grown up now.

Chen Mo turned around and wanted to leave here, but the moment he turned around, his movements stopped.

Chen took Chen Mo's hand.

Her eyes fell on Chen Mo, and she looked straight at Chen Mo calmly.

Chen Mo wanted to say something, but the next moment, before he could speak, the strength in Chen Mo's hand suddenly became much stronger. Chen Mo's body was pulled down onto the bed. Chen turned over and held down Chen Mo's arm, pulling him Pressed down.

Their eyes reflected each other's figures. In Chen's red eyes, Chen Mo could clearly see the shock on his face that had not faded away, and he could also clearly see her face that was starting to turn slightly red.

Scattered blue hair fell on Chen Mo's face.

Chen seemed to hesitate, but after a few seconds, she suddenly bit her lip and leaned forward.

It's not gentle, but rough and unfamiliar. Of course, Chen Mo is not much better than her.

Chen Mo didn't expect that Chen would suddenly make such a move, so that he became Chen's victim.

After a few seconds, Chen raised her head, her cheeks became much redder than before, and you could even see the roots of her already red ears. Her rapid breathing gradually calmed down after a few seconds, but she never looked away from Chen Mo. Pass.

Chen really hadn't figured out what to do or how to do it, but there was a voice in her mind that kept telling her what she should do and what she should do to leave all this behind.

Maybe it wasn't the voice in her head, but because she didn't want to compromise like this, and didn't want to see the thing she finally found leave again.

Chen, Chen Mo and Tallulah are all different, but that doesn't mean that this is what she wants, because from the beginning, from that orphanage, they have always been three people.

"I am an infected person." Chen Mo said.

Does he like Chen? He probably does, or the word "like" is too thin for them. Just imagine, in those days, the only people who could accompany him were Chen and Tallulah.

Chen has always been an energetic person, whose energy he envies, being unrestrained, confident and optimistic.But that's not all of her, just the way she appears in front of us.

"I do not care."

She looked at Chen Mo seriously, and there seemed to be a bright light shining in her red eyes.

"You are infected, I don't care!"

Chen Mo's voice was full of the meaning that could not be refused.

"I said...I don't care!"

As if to confirm her words, she pressed her arm on Chen Mo's shoulder so hard that it even made Chen Mo feel pain:

"I remember I told you not to do anything stupid and don't try to escape, you liar!"

In Chen's impression, Chen Mo seems to have always been a coward.

"I didn't want to escape."

Chen Mo has never been a determined person. He knows this very well. If he was a determined person, he should not have returned to Longmen in the first place and would not have dared to do so many unnecessary things.

Chen Mo couldn't deny that there was never a moment in his heart when he was truly willing to give up on the past with Chen. He also couldn't deny that he had actually grown from envy to falling in love with this girl.

But Chen Mo is a greedy guy, and most such people will not end well.

He didn't want Chen to end up in the same situation as Tallulah, but at the same time, there was inevitably a trace of longing and selfish longing in his heart, which made him want to get close to Chen Mo involuntarily.

Chen and Weina are different. To Chen Mo, they are different.

The reason why Weina did that was because she was confused when she encountered a sudden dilemma. Chen Mo was the only person she could get close to and catch. Chen Mo just happened to appear at the right time and did the right thing.

Victoria cannot accept an infected person as its ruler, at least not now, and Wei Na is not ready for that. Chen Mo knows this very well.

But Chen is different. As Chen Mo said, she is not a firm person, and naturally she cannot stick to her original principles. Especially after Chen said those words, she may be a little impulsive, but Chen Mo will inevitably be affected by her. Discursive influence.

No matter how calm a person is, there will be moments when he loses his mind and has reckless impulses, but there are often too few people like you, and Chen Mo is no exception.

Chen stubbornly looked at Chen Mo without looking away.

Chen Mo turned around and held down Chen's arm. Her cheeks turned redder and she looked away slightly. Her short hair lay slanting on her forehead, and her long blue hair was scattered behind her.

"Are you shy?"

After Chen Mo heard this sentence, he suddenly seemed to be stimulated. He blushed and looked at Chen Mo again, staring at him.

Chen Mo didn't know how much anxiety and uneasiness he felt in his heart at this time.

"What a joke! Am I shy? Just come here and talk so much nonsense."

The development of things completely exceeded their original expectations. Neither Chen Mo nor Chen expected that one day they would reach this point.At this time, Chen no longer had the domineering attitude in Chen Mo's memory.

It was hard for Chen Mo to imagine that Chen would be shy and timid. She was trembling slightly, looking down at herself, and her voice was trembling.

"From now on you will be mine! Remember...remember?!!"

"Is it the other way around?"

"I asked you if you remember!" Chen emphasized loudly, with a strong tone that sounded like a scold.

"remember!"
