Chapter 434 Earned
Lu Chihuan hesitated.
But he didn't refuse.
The two of them took their juice drinks and sat down on the balcony, which was designed to be quite spacious.
Lu Chihuan also built a series of stacked shelves, on which he not only planted crops such as tomatoes, peppers and onions, but also heat-resistant blue snow flowers, sunflowers and balcony plants such as mint.
therefore.
It looks lush and green.
When you get closer, you can smell a cool and refreshing fragrance.
There is a large bamboo lounge chair placed near the door on the balcony, which Lu Chihuan bought on a whim. In the summer, he likes to sit cross-legged on it, digging watermelon with a spoon and enjoying the cool air.
In autumn or winter, he would curl up with a small blanket and bask in the sun.
The sun wasn't that hot back then.
The temperature is just right when exposed to the sun.
At this moment.
Lu Chihuan lay down on the bamboo lounge chair skillfully, then moved to the side a few times, barely making half the space, "Come."
"Let's lie down together."
Zhou Zhi laughed.
But he did not reject Lu Chihuan's kindness.
He sat down in that half of the seat, carefully pulled off the pull ring of the can of juice in his hand, and then handed it to Lu Chihuan, "Huanhuan."
"for you."
The night is as cool as water.
I don’t know if it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but the moon outside was not only very round, but also emitted a bright and soft halo, which illuminated the floor and the surrounding plants, as if they were covered with a layer of white frost.
Lu Chihuan didn't say anything at first.
He just sipped the juice drink in his hand. After drinking for a while, he felt a little hot, so he reached out and gently tugged at his collar.
A moment later.
He finally opened up and said, "I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was killing space pirates."
"actually."
"In this world, I don't really like fighting and killing. I prefer a peaceful and warm life with my family by my side. After get off work, I occasionally go to pet the neighbor's big dog, or go to a food stall with friends to eat skewers, and plant some flowers and plants that I like."
“Not exciting.”
“But it makes sense to me.”
"After traveling through time, I didn't know anyone. I had no one to rely on except Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, so I forced myself to adapt to the environment."
“Growing up quickly.”
"First survive in that world, then find your way home."
Speaking of it.
He paused, "I thought I was doing well, but when I got home I realized that it was just a habit I was trying to develop and a way of holding on."
“I get scared sometimes.”
"But I hid my fear so I looked fearless."
Whether facing the murderous star pirates.
Or the strange bird in Stuhai’s tomb, he always rushes forward regardless of his life.
It's just...
He's just pushing himself.
If you peel off his extremely hard shell, you can see his extremely soft inside.
usually.
Lu Chihuan doesn't often reveal his inner thoughts.
He always looks at everyone with a smile, trying hard to show his lively and cheerful side, as if there is no trace of darkness in his heart.
therefore.
This often gives people a feeling of knowing him, but not really knowing him very well.
just now.
Zhou Zhi clearly touched Lu Chihuan's open heart, but he felt a wave of sadness like a tide surging into his heart, making it seem like he couldn't breathe.
It's his fault.
From the very beginning, he should have always paid attention to Huanhuan's mental state.
In the empire.
Every year, many military cadets develop post-traumatic stress disorder after going to the battlefield. They basically cannot adapt to the fierce fighting on the battlefield, so they usually choose to retire after a period of treatment.
However, even if he retired.
Daily life is still affected to a certain extent.
Huanhuan is just a new student in the military academy. He has experienced too many things, but received too little information from his instructors, so naturally his mental state and inner heart are affected to a certain extent.
But among them...
No one actually noticed.
And now.
Lu Chihuan pretended to be laughing and said, "Did you not notice it at all? It seems that my acting skills are actually quite good. Who knows, maybe in the future--"
This sentence has not yet been finished.
Zhou Zhi reached out and hugged Lu Chihuan. He gently rubbed the top of Lu Chihuan's head with his chin. This small action seemed to comfort him.
"If you don't want to laugh..."
“You don’t have to smile.”
"You are home now and don't have to face those unpleasant things anymore."
Hear this.
Lu Chihuan was stunned.
He subconsciously thought of the voice in his dream, so he buried his face in Zhou Zhi's chest again. The originally clear voice sounded weak, and the ending tone was dragged out a bit.
"Zhou Zhi."
"I am pretty tired."
He originally thought that he could get rid of everything after returning home, but he didn't expect that the end he thought was just the starting point.
He is indeed back.
But it seemed as if there was an invisible thread still connecting him and the other world.
Can't be cut off.
And Zhou Zhi heard this.
The light grey pupils trembled a few times.
There was a rare look of pain and helplessness in his eyes. After a moment, he closed his eyes and said softly:
"…sorry."
He was wrong from the beginning.
If at first——
If he had been nicer to Huanhuan, would things have turned out differently?
Lu Chihuan looked up.
He naturally understood what Zhou Zhi was thinking.
Then, those dark and bright eyes smiled at Zhou Zhi twice, and the thick eyelashes like crow feathers were soft and still stained with a little moisture, "Huh."
"I hold a grudge."
After a pause.
He then continued slowly:
"Unless...you make me sour beef soup and spicy hot pot tomorrow, I will forgive you."
Zhou Zhi looked depressed.
He stroked the corners of Lu Chihuan's eyes with his bony fingers and sighed for a long time.
"it is good."
The more I like Huanhuan.
Everything he had done in the past was like a thousand needles, drilling deeper into his heart.
The vivid pain and guilt seemed to remind him all the time that he was too despicable and therefore not worthy of standing by Huanhuan's side.
Even Huanhuan forgave him.
he……
Nor will I forgive myself.
Seeing that Zhou Zhi had a serious expression on his face, Lu Chihuan stretched out his finger and gently poked his furrowed brow.
then.
He continued to speak his mind with a smile, "In fact, the impact of time travel on me can be said to be mixed. Although there are some shadows in my heart, I have also gained a lot of powerful strength."
"This power can be used to protect yourself, and it can also be used to protect others."
and--
He also got rich directly.
You no longer have to work like a slave for the company and can work less for decades.
It’s also nice not to have to worry about life anymore.
Think about it this way.
He actually made a profit.
After Lu Chihuan sat up straight, he chatted with Zhou Zhi in a low voice.
He held his chin.
He finished the juice drink in his hand without realizing it. His cheeks were flushed and he felt a little hot for some reason.
and.
I began to feel sleepy.
After Lu Chihuan muttered a few words softly, he lay down on the bamboo lounge chair and subconsciously leaned into Zhou Zhi's arms.
The can in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Zhou raised his long arm and grabbed it.
He took the empty can into his hand. Now he looked at the shell carefully and saw a line of inconspicuous small words on it.
Contains alcohol (do not drink if you are allergic to alcohol).
No wonder.
It seems that Huanhuan's alcohol tolerance is still as poor as ever, and she must be drunk now.
then.
Zhou Zhi bent down and picked up Lu Chihuan.
Just as she was about to send him back to the room, she saw Ms. Lu, who looked sleepy, walking out of the room. She was stunned when she saw the posture of the two of them.
For some reason, my heart felt tight.
"you……"
"This is?"
