MTL - On Her Lips-Chapter 41
In winter, the nights are long and the days are long.
So long that You Ran really wanted to penetrate the long river of time, teleport to the block opposite the horizon, and see what her lord was doing.
If you think about yourself a little bit, it's good to be a little bit.
She is incomparably incomparable—Mr. Mu Fei, who misses her immensely.
Three hundred and seventy-eight days, four hours and seven minutes and twenty-six seconds
It was the time she didn't see the adults.
Mr. Mu Fei and Mr. Dao Lei went out of the way. I don’t know what it is. It should be various aspects of the family business. Every time Mr. Mu Fei travels, it is confidential. About the family industry, fields...
Although she is curious, she never asks the adults about these matters, because she knows that when the adults need to talk to her, they will naturally tell her.
It's just that the adults have been out this time for too long, more than a year.
In three days, it will be her eighteenth birthday.
Aunt Dai said that the day she was taken back to the mansion by adults six years ago was her birthday, so in three days, she would be an adult.
Aunt Dai also said that the adults will come back on her birthday, and I don't know if it was Aunt Dai comforting herself or if it was true.
All in all, You Ran has mixed feelings.
A lot of swirling bubbles suddenly appeared from the bottom of the lake, and then a long, powerful barbed tentacle hit the back of a woman who was thinking from the deep lake bottom on the side.
"Quinn, stop making trouble."
With a cold and indulgent voice, the unknown creature at the bottom of the lake had no choice but to give up this attack method, and was seen through again...
The unknown creature named "Quinn", to be precise, is a terrifying monster with extreme malice. It has front claws with barbed thorns, and its entire body is gray-brown, with two insect-like compound eyes. Below are dense tentacles.
It's not a pet like those cats and dogs in TV shows. It's a very favorite pet. It has nothing to do with the word "cute", and even the secretions on the body surface will corrode everything. Life form.
It's just that at this moment, it is swimming obediently to the side of a human woman with a clean back, all the barbs on its skin are put away, and it stretches out its small tentacles docilely, evoking the human woman's attention. Hair, then tied with a... bow.
"A-BA-KUI...YIN~"
Quinn danced happily because of the pattern of the bow, and to be precise, all the small tentacles were stretched out.
It's a pity that the woman who was playing with her hair was obviously not interested. She was full of worries and still had no energy to lie on the jade by the lake.
Her body was all immersed in this gradually blue hot spring lake, her skin was as white as porcelain, her perfect facial features stood upright, and those transparent and deep black eyes made her look like a carved goddess in a book. It is a goddess who has something to do.
Quinn tilted his head, obviously, it didn't know why the other party was unhappy, so it kind of deliberately imitated the way women used to speak—
"KKKUI—YINNNNN—"
Stuttering and holding back his strength, he let out a chilling "hoho" roar.
Just as Quinn was about to laugh, the woman on the side slapped her on the head, "I don't stutter anymore, Quinn, you're too much."
Quinn was photographed by the other party and had no choice but to snort and play at the bottom of the lake.
You Ran watched Quinn's head spit on the lake from time to time, and his thoughts were emptied for a long, long time.
She has two secrets.
One is its own secret.
Her body, in a way, seemed a little weird or terrifying.
She lowered her head and looked down at her reflection on the lake. At this moment, she was not abnormal, but when she was emotional, there would be countless small voices guiding her in her body, and those voices seemed to be planted in the depths of her soul. The thin line, sometimes like another self.
It's just that the only thing she is sure about is that the open buttons that pull her line are all Lord Mu Fei.
Another secret is-
There was always one person in her heart, not someone else.
She deeply loves Mr. Mu Fei. She doesn't know when it started. When she realized this emotion that she shouldn't have, she was already deeply involved in it.
She thought she had it since she was twelve years old, but she didn't know it.
what she said six years ago
(Sir, in the future, You Ran will protect you.)
For that sentence, she insisted on biting the wooden stick to speak every day. When she was about to stutter, she would beat herself. For a while, she slapped her face so much that Teacher Han Sheng asked her what was wrong. .
She said she was stung by a bee.
Aunt Dai, Teacher Han Sheng, Mr. Dao Lei, and the rest of the mansion had told her to let her take her time and don't be in a hurry. In fact, it was nothing.
Only she knows, she doesn't want to wait.
She felt that she was so flawed that she was not qualified to protect adults, so she practiced for a long time and spent nearly three and a half years to get rid of her stuttering problem.
During this time, she trained herself every day. In addition to the various inhuman projects requested by Teacher Han Sheng, she also came to the Forest of Black Mist.
Made a friendship with Quinn, but it did not prevent the little guy from attacking himself often.
She knew that ordinary people couldn't touch Quinn, but it was fine for her to touch, so she didn't care too much about her strange characteristics, because she didn't understand at all.
Of course, she didn't tell anyone, including Mu Fei, these two secrets.
But it is estimated that the teacher knows her second secret, because he always opens his mouth and says "the child has grown up, it is time to seek happiness" and so on, and he also said that she is a mature and childish child, although this sentence It was said a few years ago.
You Ran saw that it was getting late, so she stood up naked and stepped on the stone, ready to put on clothes.
She held the ring with red blood flowing on her chest, her eyes gentle.
In the past six years, the mansion has not changed much.
Everyone treats her well.
Only she and Quinn have grown up, because You Ran already knew that she was different from everyone else. Except for her, everyone in the mansion was a blood family with a long life.
The adult she admired was an "old man" who had lived for more than seven hundred years.
Thinking of this, You Ran couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly. I wonder if she slandered the adults so much in her heart, and Lord Mu Fei knew if she would be angry.
Quinn stuck her head out and saw You Ran was about to leave, and crawled ashore a little reluctantly.
You Ran put on his clothes, gathered his wet long hair and casually folded it on his head, then effortlessly lifted the frame of carnivorous fish and placed it in front of Quinn.
There were a lot of stout carnivorous fish in it, which were caught when You Ran came, and they were considered gifts for Quinn.
"Quinn, this is your three-day supply. Don't be gluttonous."
You Ran instructed the mollusk obediently lying on the ground, Quinn slammed her mouth, in fact, it can finish the carnivorous fish in the frame in one day, but, she still has to listen to You Ran's words, otherwise next time. Youran didn't bring this wonderful food to it.
It's just that while they (one person) were talking, there was a vulture staring at the woman with her back turned from the dense forest. taste of food.
However, it is different from six years ago.
The eagle bird swooped down at the inescapable target, and the sharp venomous claws were about to stab the woman's back.
However, the strong eagle bird thought that its hook claws had stabbed its prey, but its abdominal cavity had already been penetrated by a hand, and the blood suddenly splashed to the ground.
"Don't do sneak attacks while others are talking."
A pair of eyes covered with black bloodshot turned to the vulture bird that was lingering in his hands. The eagle bird's body suddenly swelled terribly, and the next second it turned into a pool of blood mist.
Obviously, the blood mist also stained You Ran's face and hands, and she regretted not controlling her strength.
So Quinn stretched out his tentacles while You Ran wasn't paying attention and licked all the blood stains off the other's cheeks and hands.
You Ran's body stiffened, and the sticky feeling on her face made her go back to the lake to wash again.
***
When I went back, the sky had already appeared fire clouds with sunset glow.
A figure in a black cloak appeared in the forest covered by the wind and snow. She stood tall, and a gust of wind blew her hat off, revealing a face that people could not bear to forget.
The eyes are cold, the lips are red and the teeth are white.
With purple flowers on her head, she drew a strange and beautiful scenery in this icy forest.
She looked up at the black mansion not far away, her eyes gradually lit up, and then she stepped up and walked in that direction.
"I'm back, Aunt Dai."
As this voice sounded, the expression of the housekeeper's always stern face softened.
She walked over to the little guy who was already taller than her, no, now she can't call the other guy anymore.
"You picked so many flowers again?" Aunt Dai was a little surprised at the flower branch in the other's hand.
You Ran nodded, she put the fresh purple bouquet in the glass bottle that had been prepared, and then slowly explained, "Sir, come back in a few days, I think she will be happier when she sees these flowers."
Aunt Dai looked at You Ran, who had grown into an adult. The other party really didn't change a little bit. She could enter the Forest of Black Mist alone, an unimaginable predicament, because her belief was Mu Fei, and she was not afraid of anything.
The little guy stopped stuttering, but he was still very pleasant, and his temperament didn't change at all.
Moreover, this especially has experienced a belated voice change period this year. The voice has changed from the original soft and shrill voice to a low-pitched voice that sounds a bit like the master. In short, it is unexpectedly good.
"Master just called."
You Ran had a calm look on her face, but when she heard Aunt Dai say these words, her eyes widened instantly, "Really!?"
"Um."
"Master, when will she come back, did you mention... me?" You Ran was very nervous at the moment, she was a little unsure, and even her fingers were twisted together again, just like when she was a child.
"The master said that she will definitely come back in three days, but she will attend a dance the day after tomorrow, which was held by Yin Sili Guigong. I guess she should return to the house after attending that dance." Aunt Dai first explained Mu Master Fei's words, and then revealed his own analysis.
If it is held by Yin Sili, it must be in the North District, which means that the owner should arrive in the North District tomorrow.
You Ran and Aunt Dai thought about it together. She knew the location of Yin Sili Guigong's mansion. If the dance party was not held in his mansion, she could also find out.
"Master she said, before she comes back, you have to be obedient."
Aunt Dai smiled, thinking of the indifferent quote from the master on the phone, "You Ran must be obedient" should be equivalent to "I think You Ran", which is probably what it means.
Hearing the last sentence, You Ran's eyes instantly lit up softly, her eyes were a little sore and wanted to cry.
For more than a year, every time the adults and Mr. Dao Lei docked with the mansion image, she would secretly hide in the dark and watch and listen.
She always hopes that Aunt Dai can talk more, so that she can see and hear the adults from time to time.
It seems that the adults have not heard her voice changed, and really see her current appearance.
Therefore, she decided to go to see the adults before the adults came back.
Her Majesty Mu Fei must be the most beautiful Her Majesty at the ball, no, it should be Her Royal Highness the Princess.
She would invite her princess to a dance if she could, without the other person knowing.
By moonlight, tell her:
You miss you very much.
