Chapter 129: Want to remarry?
The afternoon is a lazy time.
The sunshine, the white clouds, and the people sitting on the stone benches in the yard all appear lazy and comfortable.
The four people in the yard are Paimon who claims to be a good guide, Kong who is a traveler from another world, Mo Ran who is dressed in black, and Shen He who is a white-haired girl in her prime.
Paimon held a glass of raspberry grape juice that Shen He had chilled with the Eye of God, and exclaimed: "After eating the dry and choking Yuhe, having a drink like this is really comfortable."
Shen He smiled faintly and said softly: "This is a method my father came up with to quench your thirst and cool down. I hope you like it."
Paimeng exhaled a puff of white mist, with a look in his eyes as if he had found a treasure, and said excitedly: "Is there anything that Mo Ran can't do? It seems like he can do everything!"
Mo Ran smiled and said, "There are actually many things I can't do, but you just haven't discovered them yet. Just like this ice raspberry grape juice, it's not something I came up with, and I shouldn't be the only one who has it."
Paimon clapped his hands and said, "You are right. When Sora and I were in Mondstadt, we met a knight who always held grudges. I heard that she was once hostile to the residents of Mondstadt because of her blood relationship, but now she has become a great hero of Mondstadt."
"She also makes this kind of iced drink, but she drinks the lowest-proof dandelion wine herself, and she doesn't give that kind of juice to me and Sora."
"Mo Ran, you are well-informed, you should have heard of her name and deeds, right?"
Mo Ran thought of that figure, smiled and said, "Do you really think I'm omniscient and omnipotent? Well, let me think about it, the Knight of Favonius who was hostile because of his bloodline..."
"You mean the captain of the Guerrilla Knight Squad, the Wave Knight, Eula Lawrence? She impressed me the most among the Knights."
Paimon nodded and said, "That's right, but there's no reward."
Mo Ran waved his hand and smiled.
Paimon seemed to sense something unusual. Looking at the man in black with an unfading smile, he suddenly said, "Mo Ran, you don't like Eula, do you? This is not okay!"
Mo Ran started to playfully ask, "Why? I'm alone now, and besides being a little uncomfortable with a few kids, is there any other problem?"
Paimon explained: "Because Eula already has someone she likes, and she told me that she will never forget the hatred she has for that person in her life, and she will always wait for that person to come back."
"Mo Ran, you'd better stop interfering in other people's feelings, or you'll get beaten! By the way, don't you already have a wife? Why are you still..." Paimeng was outspoken and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Mo Ran didn't respond, but asked, "How do you know about other people's feelings?"
Kong was also confused and asked, "Yeah, how did you know? When we were in Mondstadt, we seemed to be together all the time, right?"
Paimon chuckled and said, "Didn't Sora faint when he took Bennett on an adventure to the snowy mountains last time? I was terrified at the time. Luckily, Eula was skiing nearby, otherwise Sora and Bennett would have become an ice sculpture on the snowy mountains."
"Afterwards, Eula carried you onto the sled and took you back to Mondstadt. On the way, she told me that Bennett had been rescued before when he was in trouble on the snowy mountains. It was the man that Eula liked who rescued him. It's true that birds of a feather flock together."
Sora said slowly, "That's why you asked me to go to Angel's Gift to treat Eula to a drink, so that we can get rid of that annoying Schubert. But why didn't you tell me before?"
Paimon scratched his head and chuckled, "That's what Eula said. Ahem, they came to the snowy mountains without any preparation. They are even more reckless than Amber. One by one, they all need me to take care of them."
"I'll remember this grudge. I'll slowly settle it with you later. Little Paimon, don't tell them about what happened today. Let me take revenge in the dark night. That's it."
Kong said helplessly: "But aren't you still saying it now?"
Paimon was stunned, and hurriedly tried to make excuses: "I, I didn't want Eula to fall into an emotional crisis. You see, the person Eula liked left Mondstadt a few years ago, and no news has been sent back. We don't know whether he is alive or dead."
"If at this time, a man who is almost omnipotent, very rich, and can please girls appears, what will Eula do? Although I believe in Eula's determination in love, I always want to guard against Yu Moran. No, it's better to be prepared."
"what do you think?"
Mo Ran laughed dumbly and said, "Do I look like someone who wants to steal someone's love? Even if I want to, they may not necessarily like me! Don't doubt a person's firmness in their feelings. Although, if it's someone you can't go back to, it's better to forget about it as soon as possible."
Paimon pouted and said, "You forgot, so I can give you a chance, right? You philandering guy, you clearly acted like you loved your wife so much before."
Mo Ran suddenly burst into laughter. Only he knew why he was laughing. He also didn't know whether he was really happy or was hiding the sadness in his heart. Only those who have experienced it know.
Kong patted Paimeng's little head and said, "Paimeng, you talked nonsense again and made Mo Ran like this."
"It's okay, it's okay." Mo Ran forced himself to stop smiling and said, "As a human being, it's better to smile more. If you keep your anger inside, you'll go crazy. It's almost time. We can prepare to go to Sanwan Port."
Mo Ran stood up and walked back home. His voice seemed to have become a little hoarse because he had said too much. "Kong, Paimeng, you guys should also go and get ready. Shen He, you don't have to worry about them."
He walked into the house dressed in black, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face. He was speechless, but had thousands of words in his mind, but he could not tell them to outsiders.
In the yard, Shen He rested her hands on her chin, her bright and flawless face gave off an ethereal feeling. She had just been listening to her father's words. She often did this when other people were present.
He talked and she listened. It was that simple between them, father and daughter.
Paimeng was talking about something else again, saying, "Shen He, Mo Ran just wanted to find another wife, why don't you seem to care at all?"
Shen He said softly: "If father wants to remarry, this is a good thing. Every time I see father's lonely figure, I feel uncomfortable. Father is such a good person, why can he only be alone? Why?"
Shen He sighed and said, "Although there are many women around my father, he has never had any romantic feelings for any of them. Sometimes I wonder if my father really wants to remarry, I will definitely help him with all my efforts."
"Even if I need to leave, or if I need to do something else, I can do it, as long as she and her father are truly in love with each other."
Paimeng waved his hands quickly, "No, Shen He, you must not have such thoughts. You are also very important to Mo Ran. If you leave because of him, Mo Ran will not be much better than it is now."
Shen He frowned, "But I don't want my father to be alone."
Paimeng hesitated for a while and said, "How about this, after Liyue's affairs are settled, Kong and I will go back to Mondstadt and ask for Mo Ran!"
Shen He said: "Thank you very much."
Kong, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "I say, no matter how much we discuss this matter, doesn't it still depend on Eula's opinion? Eula's choice is the key, okay!"
Paimon finally realized, "Oh, that's right. What if Eula doesn't like us? And Eula already has someone she likes. Even though we don't know where that person is now, it still seems wrong for us to do this."
"By the way, I heard before that Eula's relationship with that man was once blocked by Schubert. If he comes to block Mo Ran this time..."
"Then let him disappear." Shen He changed the gentle look in the eyes of the blond boy and the white-haired floating object, and his body was full of coldness and imposing aura.
"If it's because of my original feelings, then it's fine if I don't like you, but if anyone dares to stop me, I will make them disappear from this world!"
Sora and Paimon swallowed unconsciously, not daring to speak or move.
It was not until Mo Ran came out that Shen He's chill instantly disappeared. She resumed her demeanor as the little girl of the Lin family and said softly, "Father, there are two more. Take care."
