Chapter 206 [206] The Miracle Becomes the Ordinary
【206】Miracle becomes ordinary
Himeko has made up her mind to stop being timid.
But often determination is one thing, and action is another.After all, she hasn't really changed her behavior yet, so she hasn't made any follow-up processing on her previous boyfriend's many joke proposals.But she began to try to face the relationship between the two of them with a positive attitude, and when she was pessimistic, she would try to think on the bright side.
The young couple stayed together sticky for a while, and then Hisoka couldn't bear the attraction of the fight outside and left.
People's emotions are often interlinked.
When Himeko starts to have a positive attitude towards her relationship, it will be easier for her to transfer this positive attitude to other areas, such as her chocolate shop.
On this day, Himeko arrived at the store earlier than usual, because she planned to tidy up the store.
She held the transparent glass counter with one hand, and with the other hand, she took a rag and kept wiping the counter to make it more tidy.And because of the recent change of mentality, Himeko cleaned and hummed a song over and over again.She wore a long pink liner according to her mood today, and her hair was also curled. A few days ago, she also painted her nails in water red to make her "black skin" a bit white.
"Under the big apple tree, I met you~~~~"
Being with Hisoka for so long, Himeko's habits have been assimilated by Hisoka.Even the songs that I usually hum when I have nothing to do, have now become under the big apple tree that lovers often sing.And Himeko always finds her lover's voice so attractive every time she hears it, so she tries to imitate Hisoka when she sings.But this is Hisoka's perverted song, even if Himeko isn't very perverted herself, when others hear her humming the song, they will always shudder in the back.
"Dong dong dong", a polite knock on the door sounded behind him.
Himeko stopped and thought for a while, she did not reverse "close" to "open".Her lips pursed unconsciously, which is what Himeko would do when she was in doubt.She turned around with a confused face and walked towards the door of the store, explaining to customers as she walked.
"Hello, our store is temporarily closed. If you want to buy chocolate, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."
Turning around the entrance, Himeko stood face to face with the person outside the door.Seeing that person, Himeko's mouth grew slightly.
"Mr. Thomas, why is it you?" Himeko opened the door with a surprised face and looked up and down at Thomas Stuart standing at the door.
The Toms I saw today was different from what Himeko had seen before.He was wearing a white vest that exposed his bronzed shoulders and arms.The last time Himeko saw him, he was still quite pale.And he was wearing a pair of big boxer pants on his lower body, and there were some slight leg hairs on his calves.She also wore not leather shoes, but a pair of dark blue slippers.
But this kind of Toms doesn't make Himeko feel that the other party is very decadent, and she even thinks that Mr. Thomas this time is more sunny than the last time they met.
Thomas gave Himeko a wide smile, the kind that showed all eight teeth.
"I'm here to give you a present!" This time the voice was full of enthusiasm, "And Xiaojie was very happy to receive your chocolate, so I returned the gift to you."
Thomas took out two boxes from the bulging package behind him, and handed them to Himeko together.
"Come in and talk." Himeko asked Thomas to enter the store, but her eyes were full of confusion.
Xiaojie?Who is that?
Seeing the girl's confusion, Toms put his hand behind his head and scratched it.
"Xiaojie is the child of my sister and that foreigner, the nephew I went to visit for a while."
Sister Stuya's son!The child who miraculously never came back but survived until now.Himeko's eyes lit up when she heard that.
She made a cup of hot cocoa for the two of them, then sat across from Thomas and asked with great interest, "How is Xiaojie doing now?"
Speaking of this, Thomas was a little angry.
"My brother-in-law doesn't know where the wave went, and then his mother and sister saw Xiaojie." Then his voice became gentle, "Xiaojie's grandma and aunt raised Xiaojie very well. Sunny and cheerful is a good boy. Son. It’s just that the island where they live is too remote, I want to bring Xiaojie back, but his aunt told Xiaojie to get ready before I pick him up.”
"Then... where's Sister Situya?" Himeko gritted her teeth and asked this question.
Thomas' eyes became a little heavy, and he said, "Dead."
Hearing this answer, Himeko's eyes darkened.She grabbed her cup of hot cocoa and quickly drank a couple of sips, only Zhengyang could warm her startled heart.She is not only sad for the death of her sister who played well since she was a child, but also for the current state.Xiaojie is alive, but Situya's sister is dead, which shows that there are conditions for not returning to Rocky Town and not dying.And now what exactly is this condition has become more ethereal, what exactly will this be?
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this topic." Seeing Thomas' sad look, Himeko apologized repeatedly.
"It doesn't matter." Toms waved his hand at Himeko, signaling him not to take this matter to heart. "Although their island is remote, the environment is super good, and people get along very well. It feels good to go there. It's like washing my soul once. No, I'm in a much better mood now."
"Yeah." Himeko was finally able to show a smile again, "Thank you for the things you brought me back."
"What's the matter, I won't bother you anymore." Thomas pointed to the backpack on his side, "These things have to go back to Rocky Town as soon as possible."
Himeko nodded and said, "You are welcome to come again next time."
Before Toms left, Himeko gave Toms two boxes of new chocolates.The idea is to let him go home and have a taste, which can be regarded as a kindness for the other party to bring him a gift.
When sending Thomas out of the store, Himeko also said, "If you still want to visit Xiaojie next time, please let me know. I will have a gift for him then."
From the photo that Toms showed her, Himeko had a little more affection for this boy in green clothes, black hair, and a big smile on his face.And although I don't know what the child gave me, it is already very innovative for an 11-year-old boy.
Not only Himeko is very concerned about Toms' return, but other young people in Rocky Town are also very concerned.
After all, this matter involves whether they can stay outside for a long time in the future. Most young people have a heart that wants to resist their current life.They don't want to stay in the small town of Rocky all their lives, living the same life and living in the same house as their grandparents.Even the scope of making friends and falling in love is so small, they long for life outside.A place more dangerous than the peaceful city of Mercury, eager for adventure and thrills that he has never touched.
So they are very concerned about it.
Thomas' nephew is the only one who has never been back to Rocky Town since he was a child and is still alive.He was a miracle, and they longed for that miracle to become ordinary reality.
It is precisely because of this that a new generation of young people is ready to move.
Even at the cost of their lives and painful torture, they want to seek the truth behind this.Twenty or so young men began to leave the small town of Lodge, leaving Mercury and not returning every month.Some people died in painful torture, while others lived in peace, even though they all did not return to the small town of Rocky.Afterwards, the surviving people found out what they have in common, that is, those of them who survived were all by their relatives except Rocky Town.
With the sacrifices and conclusions of this batch of pioneers, there are even more young people who have left Rocky Town and never returned.
At the same time, it also confirms the experience they have summed up before. It is true that living with relatives outside Rocky Town can live without pain as the first batch of vanguards assumed.It's not as painful as before if you don't return to Rocky Town within a month, and you won't die.
In just two or three months, they have forged a new path.
When Himeko heard the news, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.Although she doesn't hate the need to go back to Rocky Town every month, even she likes Rocky Town very much, and dreams of returning to the limited life of Rocky Town with the people she likes when she gets old.But this does not mean that she has no complaints about this kind of restraint, after all, you have to choose what you like and have to choose this one is a completely different feeling.
This suddenly made her feel more positive.
She is also full of confidence in her relationship with Hisoka.After all, the two of them can go to other places together, instead of having to go to Rocky Town when they are having the most fun.This change may also indicate that her relationship with Hisoka will also change, towards the same positive side as this one.
So Himeko is more motivated for her to catch Hisoka, and she wants to get more in touch with what the other person likes.She wants to know Hisoka better, like Hisoka more, and maybe even try to turn each other's liking into love.
Everything seems to be heading in a good direction.
