Xilin carefully brought the dishes to the table, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible, thinking that after serving the dish she would quickly run back to her hut, shrink into her shell like a turtle and hide herself.
"Xilin, Xilin." Xilin, who had already put the dishes away, heard someone calling her. She was suddenly stunned and turned her head to look.
She was a lady with short blue curly hair and a round face like a doll. Xilin knew her - her mother's friend, Aunt Einstein.
"Aunt Einstein," Celine greeted politely.
"Little Xilin, come here." Einstein had a meaningful and gentle smile on her face. She stretched out her hand and waved at Xilin, motioning Xilin to come over.
Xilin was a little shy, but still walked over.
Einstein smiled and handed a box of gifts to Xilin: "Xilin, this is a New Year's gift!"
Xilin blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Aunt Einstein called her over for this. She looked a little dazed.
"Xilin, please open it and take a look!" Einstein clasped his hands together, tilted his head slightly and smiled.
"Oh." Xilin looked dazed. She opened the gift box after listening to Einstein's words, and then she was stunned.
There were a bunch of desserts neatly arranged in the gift box. Xilin could even name them one by one.
Caramel pudding, lava cake...
These were the desserts that Gu Che often made for her. Xilin thought she would not be able to eat them for a long time until she met her brother again, but she did not expect to meet them again here.
"Try it. I heard from your mother that you like these desserts very much, so I bought them specially for you." Einstein said with a smile. Tesla and Walter on the side also cast their eyes over here silently, with curiosity and doubt in their eyes.
Tesla aside, she was a little flustered recently because of Walter's change in attitude towards her, and she hasn't adjusted her mentality yet.
Walter was full of doubts and couldn't help but think about the truthfulness of what Gu Che said.
[In our world, Xilin is the second Herrscher.]
Just because of this sentence, Walter gave up his rare vacation and came here to observe the target who was suspected to be the future second Herrscher.
He observed for a while and felt that Gu Che was committing online fraud.
How could such a good child become a Herrscher?
"How does it taste?" Seeing that Celine didn't move, Einstein took the initiative to scoop up a piece of pudding with a spoon and fed it into Celine's mouth.
Feeling the familiar taste in her mouth, Xilin suddenly burst into tears for some reason.
...........................
The floating island of destiny.
Cecilia's house was very lively today. Siegfried was playing video games with Cecilia, Gu Che was driving his wheelchair around, and Kiana was sitting on Gu Che and cheering happily.
"Kiana, be careful not to hurt your brother." Siegfried played "Kallen Fantasy" intently, vowing to snatch Otto's first place together with Cecilia.
"I know, I know." Kiana smiled brightly. While replying to Siegfried who was addicted to the game, she asked Gu Che, "Brother, can you add a seat to your wheelchair?"
"Ah?" Gu Che stopped his wheelchair, and a rare clarity in his eyes appeared that was not typical of his age.
"Just like those three-wheeled vehicles, with an extra seat on the side." Kiana jumped off Gu Che, excitedly put her hands on her waist, and raised her chin proudly, as if she was very satisfied with her wise idea. "When the time comes, brother will be the driver, and I will use the Black Abyss and White Flower to fight the Honkai Beast!"
"This way, Kiana only needs to fight and doesn't have to worry about sudden attacks."
In this way, your brother will die immediately. Gu Che complained in his heart, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "Qiana is really smart, I will ask your parents and let them praise you!"
"Ah?" The couple who were trying to make it to the list turned their heads around after hearing this, ignoring even the game, their clear blue pupils revealing a stupidity that was not typical of their age group.
Is this really what my daughter is suggesting?
Cecilia complained in her heart, but still smiled and picked up Kiana: "Kiana, the suggestion is very good..."
Kiana raised her head proudly, looking like a good baby asking for praise.
"...Don't mention it next time."
Kiana: O_o
"Okay, okay, it's almost time to cook. Siegfried, stop playing and go cook!" Cecilia hugged Kiana with a smile on her face.
"Ah?" Siegfried turned his head. Let him cook?
"That's not necessary!" Gu Che hurriedly stopped him. No one had more say than him, Kaslana, on the level of Kaslana's family's cooking skills.
No one understands Kaslana better than me!
Siegfried also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the whole family to lie down together during the New Year.
Kiana also breathed a sigh of relief. She was not a taste idiot like her mother. The food her father cooked was really inedible... Although her mother's cooking skills were not very good either.
So, Kiana volunteered, “Let Kiana cook today!”
"That's not necessary!" This time it was not Gu Che, Siegfried directly spoke out to stop him.
Gu Che also added a timely comment: "Is the cooking that Kiana is talking about the instant noodles with apples, pineapples and bananas?"
The Kiana was hit in the ammunition depot and sank.
Gu Che looked left and right and sighed in his heart.
There is not one person in Kiana's family of three who can cook!
He sighed, a little tired and said, "I'll go cook."
........................
Gu Che was the one who took care of the New Year's dinner for Kiana's family. Kiana and her friends wanted to help, but when Gu Che found out that they gave him salt instead of sugar, he drove the troublesome family out of the kitchen.
Not to mention the fact that it is a hindrance, the main problem is that it affects the performance of my wheelchair.
Since that meeting with Walter, Gu Che has had some mobility problems and needs to use crutches to walk. However, as his condition worsens, crutches are no longer useful and he still has to use a wheelchair when he goes out, but fortunately, this does not affect his cooking.
[Cook (Blue): You are good at cooking and have reached the level of a top chef. (If you work harder, your dishes will shine!)]
Gu Che was cooking in the kitchen, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic of the simulator. His body was already broken, but it didn't affect his cooking skills at all, just like the Blood of the Saint and [Black Abyss White Flower] couldn't cure his Honkai Disease. That was truly the power of metaphysics.
"Come and help serve the dishes!" Gu Che shouted in the kitchen after finishing cooking.
"Come on, come on!"
After the family had taken out all the dishes, Gu Che smiled and looked at the remaining snacks in the oven. Suddenly an idea popped into his mind, so he took out his communicator and quickly sent a message to Walter.
"I sent you some snacks. You are not allowed to eat them. They are for Xilin."
The other side showed that it had been read, but there was no reply.
Chapter 66: Brother, I found you! (4k)
Gu Che had long been accustomed to the tedious and useless examinations, and had long been accustomed to the deteriorating health condition on the examination list.
During the days he stayed at Tianming's place, he only saw his mother's face getting more wrinkles, Kiana's smile gradually fading, and Siegfried and Cecilia's expressions becoming increasingly serious. Perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged was the attending physician.
The other person's face was calm and composed. No matter how Gu Che asked about his condition, he never revealed a flaw. Like a serious scholar, he slowly uttered two words: "Not bad."
Gu Che found it difficult to get the information he wanted from the other person's expression, but his family members could not be as calm and composed as the doctor. The increasingly obvious worries on their faces said it all.
Of course, Gu Che himself knew that his body could not hold out for much longer. These days, he became weak, sleepy, and even a little anorexic.
Every day when I opened my eyes, I saw the white ceiling. I would chat casually with my family members who came to visit me, force myself to eat the food they brought, and then fall into a deep sleep until the next day, and the cycle would repeat itself over and over again.
Occasionally when he was sober, he still had time to contact Walter to ask about Xilin's recent situation, but now the frequency of contact is getting less and less.
He slept longer and longer, and his family visits were longer and longer, so it was difficult for him to find a time when he would be awake and not disturbed to contact Anti-Entropy.
However, what reassured him was that Xilin was doing well. She was attending junior high school in North America and had made many new friends. Except that after returning home, she liked to stay in her little room and stare at a book, everything else was fine.
Gu Che was also relieved. After all, he would not live long.
Life and death are often the questions that philosophers of all ages have pondered. Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, or heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Gu Che only wants the latter.
Heaven and earth are the inns of all things, and time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations.
Gu Che sat up from the hospital bed, lowered his head and lifted up his blue and white striped hospital gown. As expected, the pink and purple lines had spread to his chest, gradually approaching his heart. He was silent for a moment.
He had a premonition that the day when the collapse completely eroded his heart might be the end of him.
The goal of his simulation this time was always to change Xilin's life trajectory, to keep her away from her mother's death due to the Honkai, away from the Tower of Babylon, away from the Honkai... Gu Che thought, maybe he had done it.
He never thought of becoming Xilin's white moonlight. He wanted to be a comet, passing across the sky for just a moment and then leaving silently. That would be fine.
That's good...Xilin has a new life now. Logically, his mission has been completed. He just needs to wait for death silently and then leave. That's all.
There was no need for him to disturb Xilin's life anymore. The remnants of the old times should just die in the past. Besides, his family would not allow him to leave the floating island in his current situation.
But...
Halley's Comet also returns every 72 years, doesn't it?
So, one day, Gu Che, who had carefully planned for a long time, escaped his fate. Sitting in his unconventional powered wheelchair, Gu Che returned to his Berlin cabin.
It looked desolate, the lawn was in a mess because it had not been cared for a long time, the flowers had long since died, and fallen leaves were piled up on the ground and the roof. Perhaps because it had not rained recently, the wheelchair made a crisp "click" sound when it passed over it.
Gu Che looked a little lonely. He took out a few letters from the rusty mailbox at the gate of the yard, then drove his wheelchair into the yard, found the key he had hidden long ago under a flower pot, opened the door, and entered the cottage he had left for a long time.
Gu Che recently heard from Walter that Xilin was writing a letter to him, and he had long wanted to come back to get it, but unfortunately he never had the chance. Now he finally has the chance.
Sure enough, opportunities are created.
Of course, as for how his family would react when they found out about his departure, they might be panicked or disappointed, but Gu Che had no intention of delving too deeply into these issues.
Now that you have made your choice, you must carry it out unwaveringly.
Gu Che sighed in his heart as he drove the wheelchair into his house. Fortunately, the wheelchair could just pass through the door frame, which saved him a little trouble.
Because the house had not been occupied for many years, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the floor, table, and sofa.
Gu Che came to the window and opened the curtains, but was choked by the dust and started coughing. Then he just ignored it and went to the dining table, wiped it a little, put Xilin's letters on it, and read them one by one.
"Dear brother, Gu Che! This is Xilin, your lovely sister! I am writing to you here! I wish you a happy new year, and I hope God will bless you."
......
"Dear brother, Gu Che! Xilin is writing a letter to you here! Today is not a special day, but Xilin still wants to write a letter to you, brother!"
......
"Dear brother, Gu Che! I am your lovely sister Xilin! Is your visit over? Have you seen Xilin's letter? If you have, you must reply to Xilin!"
......
"Dear brother, Gu Che! I'm Xilin! I still haven't received a reply from you today, so I decided to write you another letter! Today, Xilin went to school and met..."
...
"Dear brother, Gu Che! I'm Xilin!"
"Xilin is unhappy today because my brother still hasn't replied to my letter."
"So Xilin decided not to write any more letters! This is the sixth letter Xilin wrote, and it's also the last one!"
"Xilin wants to come and see her brother! Although her mother said that Xilin is still very young and can't go out alone, Xilin really wants to come and see her brother..."
"Xilin misses her brother so much."
"Brother Gu Che's most adorable sister - Xilin."
"Hehehe." After reading the letter sent by Xilin bit by bit, Gu Che couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter was so clear and almost sad, as if it would immediately cause an echo.
This girl...
A surge of emotion surged up from the bottom of his heart, and Gu Che's eyes couldn't help but become moist. Unable to help it, Gu Che reached out and wiped the tears that had already overflowed, then raised his head slightly and looked out the window.
When the prosperity fades away, the thousands of sails go away, the autumn wind blows the reeds, and the setting sun dyes the birds nestling beside you red, which awakens the softness in my heart.
After calming down, Gu Che picked up the letter and started reading again.
"This is the sixth letter Xilin has written."
"I wonder if my brother saw the farewell letter I slipped under the door."
???
Gu Che was stunned when he read this. With some doubt, he counted the number of letters again and found that there were only five. Then he looked back at the door and found an envelope lying quietly on the dusty floor with a tire mark on it.
It seems that he overlooked this when he entered the door, but it is true that it is a bit inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair. In fact, if possible, he still wants to use crutches, but his current physical condition seems to be unable to support it...
The word "going from bad to worse" is the best way to describe his condition.
The meeting with Walter was like the fuse of an incident that was out of control, or like a burst dam. The gap would only get bigger and bigger under the erosion of the water until there was no remedy left. One could only watch things get worse and worse, and could only sigh helplessly.
