"So, Yinshtar, isn't it obvious what to do?"
Enki lay on his back on his wicker chair, rocking gently, looking at the beautiful goddess with a smile.
He regards Yinshtar as his own son, and unlike Nanna's attitude, he will not be perfunctory.
"...In that case, it will be easy to be rejected."
Yinshtar frowned, holding his cheek and hanging it beside him.
"What I want is not to be rejected."
"Even if he is my king, I am his god." There was a considerable degree of frustration on her face, "If I lower myself and woo him, but am still rejected, I will go crazy. "
Enki glanced at Yinshtar and found that the girl's expression was serious.
"You are a god, my child."
Enki stood up, walked over, and gently stroked Yinshtar's head twice.
"And he is also the Seven Gods of Destiny."
"Every move you make will have an impact on this land. I hope you can love this land more, child."
Enki's meaning was obvious.
He hoped that Yinshtar could be more sensible, and it would be better not to put his energy on these children's love affairs, and do something that gods should do.
Yinshtar could understand, but she frowned instead.
Why can perfunctory words and words of concern be so harsh?
Enki noticed Yinshtar's displeasure and sighed.
This big girl is so old and yet so willful...
"Let's do this, Yinshtar, kid." Enki could only try to point out new moves to Yinshtar, "You can try to have normal contact with him first to make up for the conflicts you have had over the years."
He knew very well what Yinshtar was thinking.
Although he kept saying that he liked Gilgamesh and wanted to confess his love and become a couple with Gilgamesh, Yinshtar never thought about himself and Gilgamesh at the same level from the beginning.
Gilgamesh changed a lot, and the meaning of his life gradually changed from self to wholeness, and became a true king. Although Enki did not see all this with his own eyes, he just learned from the news. It was as if he could see Gilgamesh's erect body that made him proud.
But Yinshtar has been self-centered from beginning to end, and has always placed his identity above Gilgamesh. He believes that his proposal and confession are a kind of "advancement" or even "charity" to Gilgamesh. ".
She didn't even realize that it was just a decision she made after her own desires arose.
Enki wanted to remind Yinshtar to be more rational and clear-headed. As a god, he should look at the world more instead of being loyal to his desires, but——
Inshtar doesn't like preaching, no one likes preaching.
Enki is a soft-hearted god, and he can't make up his mind to reprimand Yinshtar seriously. What's more, even if he reprimands him, Yinshtar probably won't listen.
Seeing Yinshtar saying goodbye and leaving, Enki let out a long sigh.
I hope that the development of things in the future will not gradually lead to a scene that I don’t want to see...
After all... Even though Enki God is very strong, he doesn't want to take action against anyone...
How can a kind of kindness that has no position and can only sit on the sidelines be a kind of cruelty...?
...
This was one of the few conversations between Ananu and Nanshe that ended with them leaving quietly.
Ananu seemed to have accepted the fact that he had such a godly friend, and Nanshe seemed to understand Ananu, controlled his affection, and no longer had unrealistic illusions.
As Nanshe himself said, falling in love with someone may only happen for a moment, but it is precious if you can not give up this love during the subsequent understanding.
Only feelings that can withstand the test of time are worthy of being held in the palm of your hand.
Back in the palace, Ananu lay on the bed and sighed as if he was about to sigh out his soul.
"Ahhhhh..."
"I'm so tired. I've been feeling this way since I came back from the underworld."
He faced down and said this to Enkidu beside him.
"Could it be because of that flower?"
Enkidu raised his hand, called out the white flower, touched it gently, watched the white flower sway gently in his hand, and asked Ananu.
Enkidu knew that Ananu used a trace of his own life force to give birth to a simple life, and the hounds of the underworld took it back as his replacement, and Ereshkigal even accepted it.
"Well...probably not."
Ananu turned over and called out the red flower, her eyes a little blurry.
"Speaking of which, Ananu, have you ever felt that you are actually quite a playboy among humans?"
Enkidu rested his chin on Ananu's chest, with a sly smile on his face.
"Huh?" Ananu was stunned, "Is there any?"
"By the way, what kind of philandering do you mean?"
He had a feeling that this kid was going to make a joke on him.
"Sending flowers is actually considered courting."
Enkidu pinched the stem of the white flower and placed it near Ananu's face.
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Ananu reluctantly opened Enkidu's hand and pinched Enkidu's face, "If you don't give that flower to the hound of the underworld, I will It cannot be regarded as a true return from the underworld."
"But why flowers?" Enkidu also pinched Ananu's face and asked with a smile, "And not to mention the God of Hades, the goddess of water and springs has been troubled because of you."
"Sometimes I feel that Ananu you are really a very charming person, and you can actually make two goddesses fall in love with you."
"What does it mean to fall in love with me? Don't talk nonsense." Ananu had a dark look on his face and messed up Enkidu's hair. "And don't mention me, you are the one who has committed the most sins."
"There are so many people in this city who like you, and from what I see, even that guy Gil can't say he has no thoughts about you at all, right?"
"Haha, actually I think Gil likes you more, Ananu, right?"
It can be seen that Enqi is very happy.
He rarely showed such obvious emotions.
He hugged Ananu's waist, as if he wanted to scratch Ananu's itch.
"Hey! Let go, Enkidu! Don't touch there - it's very itchy -!"
Ananu resisted and his face turned red.
This was the first real fight between the brothers, or possibly the sisters.
Does this mean that they have taken another step forward on the road to self-ownership?
Siduli didn't know, she was just trembling, steam was rising from her head, and she didn't know whether she should enter the house at this time.
