Rean thought of someone, Alleria.
Like myself, we are both staunch hot spring enthusiasts.
I also visited Youmil.
Although the large bath in the dormitory is good, it is still far from a real hot spring.
If I go back and tell her, she will probably be a little envious.
If you are in a bad mood, you might even pull yourself into a sword fight.
Finally, I might also say that if you can compete in martial arts first and then soak in hot springs, that would be a joy in the world.
After splashing his face with water to clear his meaningless thoughts, Rean heard the sound of footsteps.
Don't get me wrong, it can't be the person I just thought about. Thinking about who and who comes is something that even Xiao Huan doesn't have the ability to do, and Alleria can't appear here.
The person who came was his adoptive father, Theo Schwarzer.
This man with shoulders wider than Rean was holding a wooden bath bucket in his hand. The bucket contained two bottles of red wine and two red wine glasses. He sat down next to Rean.
He skillfully opened one of the bottles, poured himself a glass first, and then shook it at Li En: "Drink something?"
"You drank a lot during dinner, why are you still drinking?" Li En hesitated.
My adoptive father has the usual style of a Northland man. He is bold and generous and loves to drink. Except for breakfast, he drinks a little at every meal.
There is no one to accompany you, so you can have a drink alone, or you can have someone to accompany you until you are completely happy or even drunk.
"My son is back, I am happy. Drinking in the hot spring is a unique experience."
"I know."
It’s not like I’ve never seen Teacher Yun and his father enjoying a hot spring bath and drinking wine together.
Taking only two bottles of red wine was a sign of mercy. The final showdown was all about the barrels. Rean felt inferior. Alleria should have had a wonderful battle.
Uh, why are you thinking of her again?
"Then drink a little."
He took the wine glass and bottle and poured it himself. If it is winter, you can put the bottle in the hot spring to warm it before drinking, which will make it more flavorful. But now it is summer, the ice-cold taste is also very comfortable.
It’s really a good idea to place an advertisement, and it’s worth putting up. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!
Clink glasses and drink up. Drinking with family members is not as important as social etiquette.
I sipped it in small sips, soaking it until my skin turned white, but I still couldn't finish two bottles.
"It's been a long time since I drank like this with you." Teo poured the wine again and sighed.
"Isn't that because I'm under twenty years old?" Turning twenty means that you can drink alcohol legally.
"Speaking of which, I haven't said happy twentieth birthday to you yet, so let me go again."
"Okay." Li En calculated his amount, and another bottle of red wine wouldn't be a big problem.
After another drink, Te'ao became even more excited: "That's right, drinking should be more straightforward. You are usually so stressed and have many things to think about, at least don't worry so much when drinking. Teacher Yun There is actually some truth in saying that you drink to drown your sorrows."
Li En hummed, poured the wine again, and said thoughtfully, "Father...you have something to say to me."
My father's attitude has been a bit abnormal since he started drinking. No, it must have been earlier.
"Shouldn't it be you who has something to say to me and Lucia?" Theo asked back, "You have something on your mind, your mother and I can see it, but since the children are here, we didn't ask."
"It's been seen."
Rean leaned against the wall of the bathtub and let his body sink further.
You can spot the abnormalities in your parents, and of course your parents can also see the changes in you. Some things can be hidden even if you want to.
"After all, he is a child who was raised since childhood." Theo said proudly, "Let's talk. I may not be able to help, but I can be a qualified listener."
Li En rubbed his nose and poured himself a glass: "I don't know where to start, and I don't want to say it."
"Because it involves too much?"
"Yes."
"Is it related to 'him'?"
"Yes."
"very dangerous?"
"If I say it's not dangerous, you and mother won't believe it."
"it has to be you?"
This time, Theo didn't give Li En a chance to answer and spoke first.
"I don't think anything has to happen to someone. There are so many people in the world, and the sun will still rise without anyone. I'm not asking you to escape, but I just hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself. Speaking of which, hero The 'burden' of you should not be placed on you at the age of twenty. This is the idea shared by me, your mother, and Elyse."
"Thank you, father."
Rean knew that Theo was thinking about himself, and it was true that he did not have to solve the curse of the empire. Osborn's original plan was for him to do it himself.
But if you let yourself do it, this world will save a lot of deaths and a lot of regrets. If he couldn't do it, he would have wasted the gift from that mysterious existence and wasted the opportunity to come back again.
Theo didn't look at Li En's face, but just by listening to his voice, he knew that he had made up his mind.
This child is usually easy-going, but once he is determined on something, no one can pull him back. He was like this when he was very young, and it has not changed since he grew up. This is the stubbornness brought out from his bones.
A father can only sigh: "Children will always grow up, and we will always grow old."
"I'm sorry, Father, for making you worry."
Li En felt guilty. When children grow up, they should be filial to their parents and repay the kindness of raising them. However, Li En did not have the chance before his comeback.
"It doesn't matter." Te'ao waved his hand, "There's no parent who doesn't worry about their children. Whether their academic performance is good, whether they endure hardship and cause trouble outside, when they will get married, and if they get married, there will be another generation... You adopted Xiao Huan , you will understand sooner or later."
"I understand." It's not because of Xiao Huan, but because of Altina.
"Whether you understand it or not, there is something I must tell you. Your mother and I have limited abilities, and we can manage Youmil just fine. We can't do bigger things, and we can't help you. But I hope you remember, if If you feel tired, just come back, I will prepare the wine, Lucia will prepare the food, and then set off after you have rested."
"I see."
Li En exhaled, his mind feeling calmer than ever before.
The curse has enveloped the empire, and the road ahead is dark and difficult, but as long as there is light behind you, you will have a direction and will not be swallowed by the darkness.
And this Shu Huaze family is my own light.
I am so lucky to be able to grow up in such a home.
No need to say much, it’s all in the wine and every moment of getting along.
Bathing and drinking, I have to rush back to Rivers tomorrow, but I only tasted it briefly.
Empty your mind, go to bed early, and wait for the dawn of the next day.
One night at home, Li En slept extremely soundly, more soundly than ever before.
He came back with a mission, and there was always a heavy burden on his shoulders, but this time, like his father said, he temporarily put down all the burdens and enjoyed the long-lost relaxation.
Wait until you have rested before starting again.
In June, the sky was getting brighter and earlier, and when the spaceship took off and left Youmil, the sun was rising.
Rean was bathed in the sunshine, staring at his home that was getting smaller and farther away.
The moment Ymir completely disappeared from sight, Rean closed his eyelids.
Silent and motionless, forgetting both things and myself, it is very mysterious.
