"I just picked it up. It looks pretty, so I took it back." Gu Che picked up the wooden stick in his right hand and played with it, looking smiling.
"Oh." Xilin nodded thoughtfully, and then as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly ran to Gu Che, picked up the repaired clothes and waved them in front of Gu Che, with an expression of a good baby asking for praise, "Brother, look! Xilin has finished sewing."
Gu Che casually threw the stick into the yard, touched Xilin's head with his relatively clean left hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go inside."
As he said that, Gu Che took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Xilin: "Excuse me, Xilin~"
"Yeah." Xilin nodded, took the key and went to open the door, but there was some confusion on her face.
Why does the feeling of my brother’s touch on my head feel different this time?
Gu Che looked at Xilin's lively back, smiled, raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist and put it to his mouth, coughed lightly, then skillfully took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off it.
Cecilia was right. Honkai energy was a deadly poison to him. Even though he was not too close to the core of Honkai, his body would deteriorate to this extent just by staying in it for a while...
Now he urgently needs Cecilia's treatment, but the communication device has been given to the beggar and is not with him, so he cannot contact her immediately. Fortunately, out of good hamster habits, he also prepared a spare communication device and a spare backup at home.
"Brother, come in~" Xilin had already opened the door and waved to him happily. Her long purple hair fluttered in the wind and her smile was as brilliant as flying flowers.
Gu Che stopped thinking about these things, smiled, and walked slowly into the house.
Put aside those trivial matters. Only in the darkest moments can you see the most beautiful stars.
Although the talent extracted in this simulation was not perfect, Gu Che thought it should be enough to protect the smile of the girl in front of him.
He looked down at his left arm, wondering what he was thinking.
......................
In Gu Che's small house, Xilin was alone in the living room tending to potted plants out of boredom. She glanced at Gu Che's bedroom from time to time, but when she didn't see him come out, she sighed slightly.
Xilin: (;′⌒`)
I haven't seen my brother for five minutes. I'm so bored. It's not that I miss him, I just care a little bit...
Xilin looked in the direction of Gu Che's bedroom again. When Gu Che went in, he specifically told her not to go over there. She once again resisted the urge to sneak over there. Because Xilin was a good girl, she would listen to her brother.
While Xilin was still daydreaming, Gu Che had already pushed the door open and walked out. He still had the same warm smile on his face as always, and his deep blue eyes showed no other emotions except doting and helplessness.
"Brother, Xilin is hungry." Xilin ran to Gu Che, hugged him and said coquettishly.
"The lava cake is right on the table. Xilin can eat it if you're hungry. There's no need to save it for your brother." Gu Che touched the girl's head and said with a smile.
But Xilin shook her head firmly, her golden eyes revealing a determined emotion: "I want to eat with my brother."
Gu Che smiled and said, "Let's eat together."
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the roof and then comes in through the windows, illuminating the ancient books on the bookshelf and the boys and girls eating snacks at the dining table, giving off a warm atmosphere.
Everything seemed normal. Xilin was still happily eating the dessert her brother made for her. Gu Che was still accompanying the girl as usual, making desserts for her and telling her stories...
But everything seemed a little unusual. Gu Che looked at Xilin gently while she was eating dessert, and unconsciously moved his gaze to his left arm. If he lifted the clothes covering his left arm, he could directly see the pink and purple lines that had eroded the entire left arm.
During the five minutes he was talking to his family, he also checked his injuries. He could only say that he was okay and would not die for the time being. However, how long he could live depended on the diagnosis from Destiny.
To be honest, Gu Che didn't really believe the doctor's prediction of "how much time is left" until the day his own grandfather died. It turns out that the doctor's prediction can be so accurate...
Gu Che was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of meaningless death. But if, if he could use his insignificant life to exchange for the beauty of the girl in front of him, he thought it was worth it.
"Eh?" Xilin was eating the dessert her brother made for her, and she found Gu Che staring at her with a smile on his face. She suddenly felt shy, thinking that her eating posture was too ungentlemanly and made her brother unhappy. So, Xilin's movements when eating dessert became smaller...
Gu Che couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the almost finished cake on Xilin's plate, then looked at his own cake which was not even half eaten. He smiled, pushed it over, and said:
"Brother, I can't do it anymore, Xilin, please~"
"Ah, brother, you are such a fool!" Xilin obviously understood Gu Che's intention. What was this déjà vu of Kong Rong giving up his pear? She put her hands on her waist and said dissatisfiedly, "If brother keeps pampering Xilin like this, Xilin will get fat!"
"Hee, I've never seen a chubby Xilin before," Gu Che said cheerfully, "Besides, Xilin is still my little angel even if she gets fat~"
The girl's face suddenly turned red...
Gu Che found Xilin like this funny. But as he laughed, he couldn't help but think of the fragile and sensitive Xilin in the Tower of Babel, and his mood became complicated.
In the second simulation, he never thought of making any big noise. All he wanted to do was to protect the beauty of the girl in front of him.
In knight literature, knights are often the symbol of bravery and loyalty. Kaslana, as one of the three major families of [Destiny], is also worthy of the name of knight. Countless Kaslana people are active in the front line against Honkai, and 25 ancestors have sacrificed their lives to liberate the Skyfire...
And what he did, perhaps, was worthy of the name Kaslana...
.......................
As usual, after staying here for a while, Xilin was taken away by her mother. After Xilin's coquettish behavior failed, she could only say goodbye to Gu Che with tears in her eyes: "Brother, Xilin will come to play again tomorrow!"
Gu Che smiled helplessly, waved goodbye to Xilin, and watched Xilin being taken away pitifully by her mother.
After Xilin left, Gu Che opened the communication with [Anti-Entropy] and Walter answered the call.
"On behalf of Anti-Entropy, I would like to thank you for the information you provided." Walter's tone was obviously relaxed. Ever since he got those things from Gu Che, Walter had no time to care about the company's publicity and promotion, and flew back to North America without stopping.
As a result, the two doctors attached great importance to what Walter brought. The more they flipped through the notes, the more amazed they felt. It felt as if the fragmented inspirations in their heads were suddenly integrated and directly transformed into the technologies in the notes.
Looking at the expressions of the two doctors, Walter finally believed Gu Che's identity.
"It's a win-win cooperation. There's nothing to be thankful for." Gu Che shook his head and continued.
"I'd still like to trouble you two doctors to verify what's written in my notebook."
"No problem." A female voice suddenly appeared, "What you wrote is very interesting. Tesla and I need some time to verify it."
"Thank you, Dr. Einstein." Gu Che said with a smile.
[Tian Du (Metal): Your body is born weak and you are destined to not live past the age of 30, but your intelligence has been greatly enhanced.]
Although there is the intelligence bonus of [Heaven's Jealousy], this work is after all created from scratch, and there is no real data verification. Gu Che dare not hand it over to Xilin just like that, even though Xilin really wants to be a magical girl.
"By the way, do you want to come to Anti-Entropy?" Einstein invited. "I can approve a research institute for you. It would be a pity if you don't use your talent for research."
As Einstein spoke, he was still flipping through the notes made by Gu Che. He felt a sense of appreciation for his talent and could not help but invite him.
But Gu Che just smiled bitterly: "No, I seem to..."
"...will not live long."
Chapter 62: I Can't Say the Word Separation (4k)
The evening of November 11th.
It was a clear night. The bright moon goddess equally and tolerantly spread her light to every corner of Berlin, casting a hazy and dreamy feeling over the entire land.
Gu Che pushed open the window and found that the moonlight was particularly bright. Perhaps it was because it had just rained yesterday, so it was shining brightly. He carefully placed his hand under the moonlight and it cast a faint shadow on the ground. Gu Che smiled and thought it was very interesting. He didn't know if Xilin saw it.
It's already this late, Xilin must have gone to bed a long time ago, and she's probably still fantasizing about tomorrow's breakfast before going to bed...
"Hey, brother, you're in this state now, it's a pity you can still laugh." The familiar voice beside him brought his thoughts back. Gu Che turned his head and looked at Siegfried with some embarrassment.
"Haha, it's okay. I think I can still kill a cow with one punch." Gu Che was still as optimistic as ever, even though he knew that his physical condition had deteriorated to a certain extent.
"You don't look fine at all..." Cecilia beside him also sighed, "You were fine last month, how come you suddenly became like this..."
"The communication device was stolen," Gu Che shook his head helplessly, "You know my situation. I can't catch up at all."
"Besides, the communication device has identity recognition. I thought it wouldn't make any noise, so I waited until I got home to replace it with a spare one." Gu Che said this with a bitter expression, "But it just happened to be so coincidental, wasn't it?"
Cecilia and Siegfried looked at each other, seeing the helpless expressions on each other's faces, and then they sighed.
"You have to go back with us." Cecilia said in an unquestionable tone, "Now that this has happened, we can't let you stay out here alone no matter what."
Gu Che hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse and nodded: "I understand, but let me say goodbye to Xilin first."
Cecilia and Siegfried looked at each other, then turned to Gu Che and smiled, "Of course no problem."
There was a strange light flashing in their eyes, which seemed to reveal a different emotion. Gu Che didn't understand it and felt very strange, so he touched his head.
........................
It was a new day again. When the sun climbed over the mountain and the early birds had eaten a few insects, Xilin slowly woke up from her sleep.
The girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes. She was somewhat uncomfortable with the dazzling sunlight. She turned over, found a more comfortable place, and then slowly got up from the bed.
Rubbing her still sleepy eyes with her little hands, Xilin got out of bed and found that her mother had already gone to work. She felt a little bored, so she glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. Suddenly, her little body shook and she woke up immediately.
[11 month 10 day]
Xilin ran over, picked up the calendar, looked at it left and right, and made sure that she was not mistaken, then she laughed foolishly.
Today is the 10th, and tomorrow is the 11th!
My birthday is finally coming! (≧?≦)
Xilin was a little excited, and even couldn't help imagining what kind of birthday present her brother would prepare for her tomorrow. She was so curious!
Xilin couldn't help but cover her face. She felt a little dizzy, and even the sleepiness she had just felt after waking up was gone.
Her stomach growled, Xilin smiled, turned around and ran out the door.
Let's go to my brother's house for dinner~
.................
"Hey, brother?" Xilin was a little surprised when she saw Gu Che just a few steps after running out of the house.
The white-haired boy was sitting on a chair at the door, lying on his back with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. The sunlight shone on his face, revealing Kaslana's beautiful face. The light of his white hair gleaming in the sunlight seemed brighter than the dew on the leaves.
Did my brother get up so early today? How rare... Xilin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't stop moving, and she came to Gu Che in a few steps.
Gu Che seemed to be really asleep. He didn't react at all when Xilin walked in front of him. He still had his eyes closed and looked like he was resting.
Xilin stretched out her hand, intending to wake Gu Che up directly, but suddenly an idea struck her, so she stopped what she was doing and approached quietly instead...
The little angel stood on tiptoe and approached Gu Che cautiously. This action should be called the static step in FPS games.
Xilin finally got to Gu Che's side. After making sure that she didn't wake him up, she carefully moved her face closer and looked at her brother's sleeping face carefully.
Xilin always thought her brother was very handsome, but after taking a closer look today, she realized that she was wrong.
My brother is so handsome! He is like the prince in the fairy tale book, young, handsome, and cool... If you add those deep blue eyes, he is absolutely stunning.
Xilin smiled slightly, moved her face a little closer, and carefully observed her brother's unparalleled beauty...Then, Gu Che woke up.
A pair of deep blue eyes happened to meet Xilin's golden eyes...
Both of them were a little confused by the current situation and were stunned. The scene was very awkward for a while. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even the calls of birds eating insects seemed harsh at this moment.
After a long silence, Xilin finally reacted first. Her face instantly turned red with shame. She quickly stepped back and pulled herself out of that ambiguous distance. While covering her hot little face with her hands, she did not forget to secretly observe Gu Che's reaction through her fingers.
Gu Che was still a little dazed. He was originally sitting at the door waiting for Xilin to come and say goodbye to her, but he felt a little sleepy as he sat there. When he woke up, he saw this scene, which made him unable to react for a while and his brain went blank.
"About the time I woke up in the morning and saw a little angel in front of me"?
"Brother, stop looking at Xilin like that~" Xilin looked through her fingers and found that Gu Che was still staring at her. She was almost dying of embarrassment.
"About the time I was caught peeking at my brother's sleeping face"?
Gu Che also came back to his senses, and without mentioning the matter, he smiled and said, "Xilin, go in."
Xilin looked at her brother's nonchalant look and felt slightly relieved. She nodded and responded softly, her voice like a moan, and followed Gu Che silently.
Of course, Xilin's red ears were still telling of her owner's extremely uneasy mood at the moment.
Gu Che walked in front silently, constantly thinking about Xilin's appearance just now.
He admitted that he was touched.
But the more this happens, the harder it is to say goodbye...
Chapter 63: Goodbye, Xilin (4k)
Gu Che is not good at parting. Even though he was mentally prepared for this, he still didn't want to, or was unwilling to, part with Xilin like this.
It would be a bit too cruel for Xilin to say goodbye to the little angel on the day before her birthday, or even say goodbye forever.
After a sleepless night, Gu Che stared at the crescent moon in the sky as it moved from the east to the west. Then, the distant horizon showed a hint of paleness. Gu Che realized that it was almost dawn. He hurriedly stood up from his chair. After he recovered from the dizziness in his head, he tore off a page from the calendar on the table, which showed the latest date of "November 11th".
When the first rays of sunlight passed across the sky in the early morning, the winter jasmine in the yard stretched out its body as much as possible, and the yellow flowers shone golden light in the sunlight. Gu Che walked over, closed the window, and walked silently to the kitchen.
Let’s keep those beautiful fleeting moments in our memory and savor them slowly.
He was like a flash of lightning in the dark night, suddenly illuminating the world, and then suddenly leaving, leaving only the late thunder to prove his existence. This is willful and unreasonable.
Maybe that light can really leave that moment of light and heat for the world, maybe that thunder really gives the audience some small shock, but it will eventually leave and no trace of it can be found again, and we can only know it from others' mouths - oh, it turned out to be thunder just now.
Gu Che did not want to leave in this way, even though it was destined when he chose to step into the collapse event. However, he had no choice.
