Chapter 490 [Chapter 2] 50
Almost immediately, she opened her mouth wide and stared at him in astonishment.
Because he is at home instead of a business location, Reji Munakata did not wear the standard SCEPTER4 uniform, but a simple and refreshing white shirt and a dark blue V-neck thin sweater. Wearing an elegant and calm elite aura.
His slender body was slightly leaning against a pillar in the corridor, with his hands in his trouser pockets. Even after throwing such a shocking question, his posture still looked very casual and calm.Noticing the stunned and shocked expression on her face that said "Oh my god, what did I hear, did I hear it right!?", he only slightly raised the corners of his lips.
...Since their reunion, they have almost tacitly avoided bringing up this embarrassing topic. Even when the head of the room was lucky to avoid such a tragedy in the moment before dropping the sword, the two of them were still the same. There was no such thing as "they lived happily ever after" either.
Even when the worried elder brother found SCEPTER4's residence—and later found the Imperial Pillar Pagoda, he wanted to ensure the safety of his younger brother and forced him to go home. Awashima and Fushimi, who were about to go crazy, caught up together, and as a shield under the title of "colleague", they returned to Munakata's house together-and hinted that Awashima and Fushimi "don't say unnecessary words."
Therefore, although Liuquan received warm hospitality at Munakata's house, that kind of hospitality was not for "the second son's marriage partner", but for "Reisi's classmate and colleague".
The head of the room has always had far-reaching thoughts, and when he is willing, he is also a very considerate person.
Liu Quan originally thought that things would just go like this, but she didn't expect that when the moment of parting approached them every minute, this topic would finally be brought up abruptly.
Isn't the ultimate goal she has been working hard in this game so far to go home, to return to the real world?If she is the kind of person who immediately succumbs to her beauty, or is easily carried away by her emotions, it is impossible for the head of the room to like her from the very beginning, right?
However, just when the goal of "going home" is close at hand, asking her to give up... What's worse, she herself has been seriously thinking about such a possibility deep in her heart!
She has been telling herself that the person in front of her is just an image, a video, a piece of text, the incarnation of a piece of code—but it is this image, this video, this text, this piece of code... She chased with all her strength, made her cry, made her want to hug her with open arms——
And, whispering in her ear:
"……stay."
He seemed to have finally put aside those scruples, and he didn't seem to care whether his family members who were kept in the dark would find out if he did so. He walked down the steps and walked slowly behind her, and hugged her from behind with open arms, The warm and familiar body was pressed against hers; his thin lips were close to her ear, and he whispered.
"I didn't want to use such subjective language to influence your will and decision... because I always think that if the decision is not made with strong rationality and sufficient objective and calm analysis, people may find shortcomings in the future possibility, which is detrimental to any good course of events—”
"However, now I suddenly feel that it seems good to occasionally issue some orders that are difficult for others."
"If there is such an opportunity—"
"I want you to prioritize me...over everyone else."
"...not anyone else, Xinya."
Liu Quan froze.
At this moment, the system bacteria resurfaced in her mind without warning, and continued to remind her in a mechanical and cold tone.
[Countdown to leave this world, 10 minutes! 】
Liu Quan was so shocked that his mind went blank for an instant.The heart was pounding, the blood poured into the brain in an instant, and the hands became cold.
She could only stammered and asked, "Mr. Li...why, why...? I thought...you wouldn't—"
Reji Munakata smiled bitterly in her ear.
"Why?" He paused a little, like a silent sigh, "Because I found myself caring more about this than I expected."
Liu Quan:? !
"I have my righteousness, and you have your goals. I always believe that as long as it is the right goal, it is worthy of respect."
His voice sounded faintly, and he calmly gave an unexpectedly frank answer.
"And...the other party is your parents and family members. If you have been working hard to [reunite with them], then their importance to you is self-evident...let me put myself Even I don't have the confidence to say that I will be able to beat them when it is weighed on such an important balance."
"Forcing you to give up everything you ever had to be with me is not my style."
Liu Quan's heart, following the words in his gentle and mellow voice, rose higher and higher until finally it almost jumped out of his throat.
"I have things to do for me, and you have things to do for you. In the face of a bigger goal, whether it's a relationship or a family, it's just not the most important thing, [the smallest unit of the world] . . . I've always thought so."
Reiji Munakata paused for another rare moment.
The indifferent and emotionless voice of the system bacteria just happened to resound in this gap.
[Countdown 15 minute! 】
Liu Quan's heart skipped a beat suddenly.
"I think I said too much today. Maybe I won't be so weird in the future."
Suddenly, a ghostly smile appeared in the voice of the head of the room.
"However, I don't want to regret that I failed to convey what I really wanted to say for some reason every time I think of you after you left—"
"I thought, if I miss this one, I might never get another chance. So I better put up a little guts and say it now."
Like many years ago, when he proposed dating in the student meeting room at sunset, Munakata Reishi spoke in a formal and solemn tone.
"If, as in the novel, the man had to say that in the first place, I would have said it too—please stay, Liu Quan Xinya."
Liu Quan:! ! !
How long does she have to think seriously and respond? 10 minutes? 5 minutes?
She was silent for a moment.
Strangely, even though it was such an imminent and critical moment with no extra time for her to think slowly, at that moment, countless unrelated pictures and sounds flooded into her mind chaotically.
When I was a child, only my grandmother would attend every parent meeting, and I was speechless when faced with the question of "Liu Quan, where are your parents?"
Walking on the street, watching other people's children walk in the middle holding their father in one hand and mother in the other, while I can only walk alone...
After finally being reunited with my parents, I was often so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to say. Seeing them pampering and pampering my younger brother, and the happy family scene, I felt like an outsider who broke in suddenly...
The younger brother said: The bicycle belongs to me, and my parents also belong to me. Get out of my house!
Mom said: Can't you let your brother?He is younger than you...We are not unreasonable people, and we will not force you to do anything for him in the future, just now, he is still young, so you can't bear it?
Dad said: There is nothing wrong with you, but I don't know how to treat you, so that you will be satisfied...
In fact, she really wanted to say at the time, as long as you treat me well, I will be satisfied.
The female classmate in the university said: Liu Quan, what else do you want?Your parents are much stronger than mine!Ouch, they want me to save my salary to buy a house for my brother after graduation. Are you angry? !At least you don't have to worry about anything!
She once recalled those childhood dialogues to Munakata Reiji on the Ferris wheel, those words her father once said-"I won another prize in this competition, what a good boy", "If you are picky eaters, you are not a good boy", "You Hurry up and come down to me, what is a girl trying to do all the time, she is not a good boy!" ——except for the last sentence scolding her that this girl can also climb over the wall, she is too wild and disobedient, in fact, all of them are It was the father who told the younger brother.
My younger brother is actually a very smart kid. Although he is mischievous, he is not so naughty and uneducated, and his academic performance is not bad. He also likes to tinker with some gadgets. He often participates in science and technology exhibitions and aircraft model exhibitions, and then wins some small awards. some type of.
Of course she is also a top student.However, that family, with parents who work hard enough to sacrifice everything, plus a clever son, is already perfect enough, and in fact, there is no need for another schoolboy daughter to whitewash the beautiful image of this family.
So, what does she really want for herself?What do you want?
An ominous cyan light flashed on Munakata Reiji's body, but he still held her shoulders, as if they had never broken up, as if they had never been separated for so many years; he said softly: good boy.
He was the only one who said the word "good boy" to her.No one else has ever said that.
Then, inexplicably, the answer of the head of the room at that time suddenly popped up in the memory, it was ridiculously abrupt.
He said: [I don't want to be your father. 】
Liu Quan's eyes were still full of tears, but he suddenly burst out laughing.
Of course, Reishi-kun.
I don't want to use you to fill in some childhood emotional gap.That would be such a waste.
What I want to do is -
