Apocalypse Flower (2)

  Through the steaming hot air rising from the surface of the soup, Sawa could see a man wearing a brown coat walking into Ryūōkan across the way...

  Is this person really trustworthy? Why did Luo's brother ask me to find someone else? Is he really trustworthy?

  The young man at Ryūōkan was still counting money, as if every time he appeared on the scene he was counting money, afraid that he would make a mistake and be short of money to be scolded by the landlady, so he was very careful.

  In the Ryokan, a high-ranking geisha came to entertain Shinji. Because the previous one was said to have been killed by the legendary evil spirit Ajimodo, this time it was a completely different person from before. The woman before was beautiful, but very arrogant and liked to show off her figure to attract customers. To be honest, in Shinji's eyes, that was called vulgarity...

  The woman in front of me is the first time I've seen her, gentle and quiet, with a slender and elegant figure, but she's like a woman made of water, with tears always welling up in her long eyelashes, and she dresses very modestly, unlike other geishas who love to talk, even when looking at herself now, it seems like she's lost in thought. This woman shrouded in mist gives people a sense of vagueness... She seems not to belong to this world at all...

  It seems to be telling something... That eye can talk...

  Across the street...

  "But I heard that His Highness is at St. Mirena Academy? Once he graduates and returns, we can find the princess!"

  "I hope so! Our lord's thoughts are indeed hard to fathom!"

  "There's also a rumor that Your Highness already has someone you like, and it's said that you don't want to marry Princess Mavis, which is why you ran away!"

  "Heavens! What is Your Highness up to now?!"

  There were still many people enthusiastically discussing on Weibo...

  There is excitement...

  There is disappointment...

  There is also shock...

  He walked away with his feet still moving, and the chopsticks and bowl were also habitually thrown to one side after finishing eating, waiting for someone to clean up, but he just left...

  Zhang Yi's heart was severely smashed, he had always thought that Luo Zi and Mufei were a good match, although Mufei was quite silly, but after hearing those words just now, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that besides Mufei, did his brother have someone else he liked?

  It's as if nothing is going right, and yet I can only stand by like the saddest creature in this world, quietly watching with a cold eye, pretending to be nonchalant, when in fact my heart is turbulent.

  Zhang Yi saw the person on the opposite side of the street disappear and hurriedly ran over...

  "Huh... are you San Ye?" The boy with a wheat-colored complexion stopped counting the Luo coins and looked at the little boy who suddenly appeared in front of him, squeezing his eyes and saying: "Sorry! Little brother, we don't serve kids here!"

  "But I came here to find someone!"

  "Looking for someone! This... still won't work!" The young man smiled awkwardly and was about to shoo him away...

  Really can't? Just because of age mismatch?

  I wish I could grow up faster...

  If only I were mature enough...

  If only I were strong enough...

  When I was walking by the street, I suddenly felt like a discarded stray dog, watching those performances and cheers on the balcony, but myself squatting in an inconspicuous corner seemed particularly desolate.

  Inside the attic...

  "Everyone get out, I just want this woman to stay with me!"

  The man in brown gave orders saying

  Because the money given was too much and the tone was too harsh, so the boss's wife couldn't say anything else and went down to continue with business.

  After everything had quieted down, there were only these two people left in this room...

  Mingming is a beautiful woman, but always with a hint of sadness and melancholy, her eyelashes forever wet with tears.

  "Are you... uncomfortable? Don't want to stay here?"

  "No!"

  "No! Then why are you crying! The boss's wife just complained that you're not allowed to show tears in front of customers!"

  "I..."

  Xin Zhen leaned against the back of the chair she was sitting in now, looking at the woman in front of her, and furrowed her brow slightly.

  He doesn't like girls crying.

  He hates the word "cry" the most...

  He, detested all synonyms for weakness in this world...

  "Don't cry then, it's not a big deal. You seem different from the other girls in this place, that's why I want you, and..."

  And don't like girls who are too loud...

  Xin Zhen thought quietly to herself...

  "And what?"

  "Oh! Nothing!"

  "Actually I wasn't here before...I'm a married woman!"

  Just as I was about to pick up the tea that had been presented to me and take a sip, my hand froze in mid-air...

  "He's also from a noble family, I know because the nobles of the Luo Empire all have special family crests, so it's like that! He said he fell in love with me at first sight! And even said he wants to marry her himself!"

  "And then? Because you're from Ryūōkan..."

  "No! I've said it before, I wasn't a geisha in the past, and my dancing is also the worst among all the girls in the house!" The woman shed a line of tears at this moment...

  "What brings you here?!"

  The woman paused for a moment when she heard this, then choked back a sob and continued speaking.

  "He had known him since he was a child, not because they were neighbors or relatives, but because my father was the manager of their household. However, three years ago, a big fire burned everything down, leaving them homeless, and he became paralyzed. Even his newborn son couldn't escape that fire! And to make matters worse, that son was born out of wedlock!"

  Xin Zhen's body, which was leaning on the chair, stiffened for a moment at this time...

  Great Fire...

  Isn't it...

  "So you're now..."

  "I'm working hard to make money, just for my husband's paralysis, no matter what he looks like, I want to cure his illness!" The woman said this and her fists clenched involuntarily to show her determination... Then her eyes slightly opened... "I'm lucky that at least I'm still alive and well, otherwise if both of us were in trouble, then the other one would have no one to take care of them!"

  This woman...

  It's really one of a kind...

  Most women would probably complain about why it wasn't them who got into trouble, and why they couldn't exchange places with the person in trouble. But she was different... She wanted to live a good life, because only then could she take good care of the injured person, no matter how tired or bitter it made her.
