Vol 2 Chapter 29
Behind her was a huge tree, the trunk of which could not be hugged by several people, and the top of the tree could not be seen even if the head was raised to the highest. There is such a circle of open space on the mountain, probably because of its large tree crown.
“Wait for me!” An Xu said.
Her body stuck to the tree trunk, using both hands and feet, she slowly climbed up like a gecko. An Xu is still powerless, and can easily climb trees thanks to the researched method of using abilities.
Static electricity can make sweaters absorb small pieces of paper, and can also create repulsion to reduce friction. Both Magneto and Storm can fly, and they are essentially electromagnetic power. Even if I am restricted and cannot fly, let myself be attracted to something, right? Out of such a whimsical idea, the restricted power will not cause great harm anyway, An Xu began to try day after day.
In this dream, a house is not called a house, it is called retreat meditation. There are only a handful of people who can compare with Anxu’s meditation and determination. This kind of practice has paid off. Now the golden thread in her body has condensed into a ball of thread at the core, and the level of micro-manipulation of abilities has improved by leaps and bounds. She was able to concentrate the supernatural powers that could only leak a little bit under the God’s Punishment Locks, twist them into a fine net-like structure, and distribute them widely on the body surface. This kind of electric energy, which can become sticky or elastic as she operates, is like a small suction cup and a small spring, and climbing trees is a piece of cake.
Anxu climbed onto a thicker branch and lowered a soft ladder so that Chris could come up. Chris began to climb the ladder, and she climbed higher and lowered another roll. An Xu doesn’t need a ladder to climb trees by himself, but if he wants to bring his friends with him, a soft ladder is a must.
Teacher Nancy is too old, and the ladder was originally prepared for Esther. It’s a pity that the little sister is afraid of heights, and she was shaking and crying after climbing the first gear, so she had to give up. Fortunately, it was not dismantled, and it can come in handy today.
They repeated this, and finally sat on the top of the tree. The surrounding trees are not as tall as this one, and there is a steep **** on one side of the tree. The view from the top of the tree is very wide, and you can see the forest below and the unobstructed sky.
Chris’ eyes were attracted by the sky. On the black sky, a bright moon hung high, and beside the moon, countless stars spread the Milky Way. In the forest without the interference of human fireworks, the sky looks more profound and charming. How vast, the forest sea still has a limit, and people can be seen from a distance, but the sky is endless, and the boundary cannot be seen even if you look far away. Under such a vast nature, whether it is a grand seminary or a majestic papal palace, they are just a drop in the ocean. Chris took a deep breath, his lungs filled with clear and cool air, sweeping away the turbid air of the past few days.
“My treasure.” An stretched out a hand and held it against the night sky. She pretended to raise her other hand, folded her hands together, with a piece bulging in the middle, put it on Chris’s hand, and said, “I’ll give you half.”
Chris laughed suddenly, as if he was laughing at An Xu’s secondary illness, and seemed moved by her secondary lines. The haze was swept away, and gentle, cheerful, bright and lively things bloomed from the worries, coupled with that handsome face, made An Xu’s eyes straighten.
“Smile more, it looks good when you smile.” She couldn’t help but say, “How blind are those who divorced.”
After she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it and wanted to slap herself. Isn’t it just to relax with Chris! People are happy, I have to mention this, it’s a waste of effort, idiot! “Don’t worry about it!” She waved her hand hastily, wishing she could bump into a tree, “Where is there no grass in the world! You will meet someone you like!”
Chris hugged An Xu’s shoulder dumbfoundedly to prevent her from falling down wagging her head. “I don’t really like him,” Chris said.
“he”? That’s right, Chris seemed to say the same thing yesterday, but this is the ABO world, and the fiancée may also be a man. An Xu quickly calmed down and shifted his focus elsewhere. She asked: “Why do you still want to get married if you don’t like him? Has he been engaged by his parents long ago?”
“No, it’s my decision.”
“why?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m old?” Chris said flatly, “I need a marriage. He has excellent conditions and pursues me very hard. I know him well and don’t hate him, so I agreed.”
An Xu looked back at him in disbelief, not believing that Chris would make such a decision. She frowned and said, “You can’t marry every suitor you don’t hate!”
“Yes, I’m only engaged to one person.” Chris said lightly.
“Why do you need marriage?” An Xu said confusedly, “You don’t lack money, you have important jobs you want to do, but you don’t have anyone you like… Do you really want children?”
Chris thought about it and said, “No.”
Many people have said to Chris that there is no omega who does not want children. When he was obsessed with swordsmanship, when he left home and came to the police force, when he organized a temporary team that seemed to be going on for the rest of his life, there were voices everywhere that he would eventually fight for an unknown A child who is round or flat gives up everything. Chris doesn’t believe this, and his mother is a perfect example.
After being injured, Chris got a lot of sympathetic looks. Many people felt that his life was ruined. Even his fiancé refused to want him. Who else would want him? But compared to the fact that he would not have children, what really hit Chris was something else: whether it was his boss, his colleagues, or the people he helped, in their eyes, Chris himself was not as valuable as him. descendants that do not yet exist.
He was tired and discouraged.
“It’s my fiancé who wants a child.” Chris said flatly, “We each get what we need. I don’t have what he needs, and it’s reasonable for him to divorce.”
An Xu laughed angrily at his understatement, and she said angrily, “What did he think of you? Can you return the goods?! What do you need from him? Marriage certificate can be used as a gold medal to avoid death? Conditions like yours , I can’t find someone to go to bed with, so why marry such a person!”
“You can’t say that.” Chris thought about it, and said vaguely: “For example… If you want to break some established rules, you must comply with other regulations. If it is impossible to achieve all of them, you have to sacrifice Give up, only in this way will the resistance drop, so that nothing will be achieved.”
“But if you give up one step, wouldn’t there be a second and third step?” The girl looked at him with burning eyes.
Chris was taken aback by her aura.
“You protested with your fist that you wanted equality. The slave owner said yes, but he couldn’t agree to all the conditions. So you compromised and agreed to be a slave for only half a year. Soon the slave owner said that it must be extended to nine months, otherwise the conditions will be void. Do you think Thinking about how hard it is to fight, and then thinking about how hard you have already compromised to be a slave for half a year, so you compromise again. In the end, you work for the slave master for a month a year, but you are grateful to him, and feel satisfied that you have lived a better life than before. “An Xu wrinkled his nose in disgust, “I know not to reveal my trump cards when I bargain when I buy things. Why do you think that if you give in, the other party will act like you think? Can you only rely on the other party’s kindness? Just kidding! If you are kind, you can solve it. There was nothing to fight in the first place!”
“It will be better if you compromise with one step? No wonder! I guess what you mean by what you said just now. You need to get married before you can start a career? The public thinks that married people are more stable and reliable? If you reach the age and don’t get married, it will be considered a problem.” You are married today, okay, people don’t say you are not married, they start to ask why you have no children when you are married. You have children, okay, do you want to take care of the children? There is a chance to show your strengths In a distant place, you need to go far away alone. Do you want to abandon your wife or stay where you are because of family responsibilities? Are you going to abandon your small family for everyone? Ha, get married for the sake of face and convenience of work, and throw away the people who have been used up for work On the one hand, that’s no different than human scum. So you stay, take care of the kids, and live your life until you’ve spent most of your life exhausted with the boring reason of ‘needing to do this’, and there’s no energy left to pursue your ideals. All because of In the beginning, when you had the chance, it was like, ‘This is the way to go’.”
An Xu said a lot in one breath, and became angry with real feelings.
Her real parents left her at her grandmother’s house when they were young, and when they got older and wanted to have grandchildren, they remembered that they had a daughter of her age. Forced marriage. An Xu took care of himself to study hard, work hard to make money, move far away as soon as he has the ability, and change his number when he is forced to marry, and send the monthly alimony as usual, and do not contact him for other things, so he can live comfortably by himself. And her childhood playmate who stayed in her hometown was forced to marry successfully while complaining, and the topic of complaints became what was wrong with her husband, and how naughty the children were.
Every time she complained to An Xu, and An Xu replied “don’t get married” or “divorce”, she always had a reason not to do so. how can i go My parents need me. They gave birth to me, raised me and took care of me. If I am not obedient, I am not filial! Although my husband beats others, he is fine when he is not drunk. We have been husband and wife for many years, what can I do as a married woman. Ah, now for the sake of my son, of course I can’t get a divorce. He’s a bit mischievous, but he’s cute at other times, and you’ll understand when you have kids…
An Xu changed the number again, and the world was clean.
An Xu like this neither understands the friends who complain about resignation in her world, nor does she understand Chris who is struggling in this ABO world. There are times when her unrelenting attitude toward those who do not understand her borders on aloofness and arrogance. However, when Chris was entangled by the invisible spider web and was almost suffocated, this simple and crude outsider thinking was like a sharp knife, cutting the spider web.
Chris was silent for a while, and suddenly talked about an unrelated topic.
“I admire my mother very much.” He said, “He is an omega born as a commoner, and he involuntarily concluded a marriage contract with my father… Or to put it directly, he was robbed of his marriage.”
“Barbarians.” An commented bluntly.
“Yes, savage behavior. But even a beta will not marry an omega who has lost her virginity, let alone my mother is pregnant with me. After kidnapping, **** and a sum of money for my grandparents, my Instead, my father became my mother’s legal spouse.” Chris said, “When I was a child, I always wondered why my mother didn’t like me. When I was about six years old, I turned into his yard and asked him, and he said: ‘Why should I like you? Just because you’re related to me? I have no reason to care about you, just like you don’t need to care about me, no matter what others say.’”
An Xu blinked, on the one hand, he felt that Chris was miserable, on the other hand, he wanted to praise his mother.
“After my father died, my mother became a wealthy widow. He can inherit the fame, status and territory. As long as he stays, he can find a decent alpha to combine with after a year of mourning. But he didn’t.” Chris smiled. , “He quickly sold all my father’s inheritance, everything, from the big castle fields to the small rusty gold family crests and ancestor oil paintings, and exchanged them for easy-to-carry cash. He left 10% for me and took 90% for himself. Cheng, and has disappeared since then. My uncle’s family has gone mad, and after being treated like this by my mother, the whole family no longer exists except for an empty name.”
“So handsome!” An Xu couldn’t help applauding.
“I also think that although he has caused me a lot of trouble by doing this.” Chris laughed, “My mother is an alchemist, and he has a set of special instruments in the castle. When he finally left, nothing but his assistants and money Other than that, I only brought that set of instruments. Wealth, status, and family members cannot be compared with the mysteries in his bottles and jars. I used to want to be a person with clear goals like him, but now, I think I have become more cautious with more experience , In fact, I just became timid and lost my heart.”
“I don’t want wealth. Inheritance and annual salary are enough for my living needs. I will use money to help others, but money alone is not enough.”
“I don’t want status. The title is just a false name. It can only explain the glory of the ancestors, but not what I have done. There are scum among the nobles, and there are heroes among the common people. Titles don’t mean anything.”
“I don’t want marriage, because everything that other people gain will also be lost because of others, and entrusting half of my destiny to others will only increase troubles.”
“I don’t want other people’s gratitude and praise. I save them only because I want it, not to get their gratitude. Since I don’t need their gratitude, I don’t need to listen to their slander.”
“I want…”
Chris stood up while leaning on the trunk, looking into the distance, his blond hair fluttering in the wind. He stretched out a hand like An Xu, with the palm down, which was more like a gentle touch than An Xu’s grasping gesture.
“I want human beings to be able to walk safely under the sky, without worrying about being attacked by strange beasts, and without worrying about being randomly convicted by nobles. I want everyone, no matter what birth or gender, to have the right to choose, Only for themselves.” He said, “I want to change the world.”
Chris turned his head and smiled at An Xu, his whole face seemed to be lit by the sun. It was the smile of a saint, no, the smile of a martyr, gentle, peaceful and relieved. He knew what he wanted, he had made up his mind, and he was willing to die for his way.
At that moment, An Xu seemed to be hit.
The handsome martyr smiled at her, his face shrouded in the radiance of divinity. She could hear the sound of her own heart beating, and she could see the bright stars behind Chris. What does it feel like to fall in love? Maybe it’s the accumulation of feelings accumulated day by day, maybe it’s a smile that turns into a sharp arrow piercing the heart, An Xu forgot to breathe, forgot that he was in a dream, forgot the whole world, and could only see Chris thinking blankly , Wow, he is shining.
Chris was embarrassed by An Xu, sat back in his seat, smiled shyly and said, “Doesn’t it sound arrogant?”
“Arrogant and stupid.” An Xu said, “But without someone as arrogant and stupid as you, human beings would not progress at all.”
“You think it will happen?” Chris asked with a smile.
“I want them all to come true.” The girl hugged Chris’s arm, looked at him, and said even more arrogantly, “Believe me, I’m the king of the world!”
A shooting star is streaking across the sky, even the young paladin and the young uncrowned king himself have never thought about where the future they promote will go.
