Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

"Just prepare it for them, you don't need to prepare my portion... I eat a lot, you can't do it alone, and I just had a full meal a few days ago, and I won't need to eat food for a long time in the future.

Chapter 6: Lie, you are so gentle, the gentlest in the world

Aponia was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered Lie's previous experience of directly preying on a large number of marine life and even monsters in the sea, and his eyes could not help but feel distressed, "Lie, I know you have a sense of taste, even if it's not for filling your stomach, You can also taste it."

——This is one of the few places where he can empathize with human beings, and he must not give up so easily!

After thinking about it, Lie didn't seem to have any reason or necessity to refuse, so he finally agreed to Aponia's proposal: "What you said makes sense, then I'll try it."

"Ah."

After a soft reply, Aponia took Lie's hand and walked towards the cafeteria. Although Lie was puzzled by Aponia's actions, he did not resist or resist, and just let Aponia lead the way. Go forward with your own hands.

——Lie's hand, small and soft... I really don't know how such a delicate and delicate hand swung that devastating punch...

On the way, Lie suddenly asked: "Aponia, don't you treat me like a child? Or does this gesture have a special meaning to you?"

Aponia smiled and replied: "No, in my eyes, you are a very cute and good boy."

Lie became even more puzzled, and he murmured hesitantly: "...Obviously I have seen my real side, but can I still say such things?"

The smile on Aponia's face became stronger: "Why not? You obviously have such powerful power, but you never act recklessly. You can't understand and empathize with many things the teacher teaches, but you can't understand every word and every word." I wrote down all the words, and after he passed away, I have been guarding them as before. I am still ignorant, but I can think about and take care of the feelings of others. Even if I fell into a rage later, I only let go after confirming that there are no survivors in the surrounding area. Hands and feet... such strong, no doubt he is a gentle and good boy."

"At that time, I only had revenge in my mind, and I didn't worry about so much."

"But if there are really survivors at the scene...you will definitely find a way to transfer the battlefield to other places, right?"

"...Yes, but it was because of the teacher's entrustment, so I..."

"Well, it seems that there is one more thing to add. Lie is a good boy who is very gentle in nature, but he is awkward and not frank in some places. But in front of me, you don't need to suppress yourself, let alone hide it. For me, All your thoughts are invisible."

"... Forget it, it's up to you, think whatever you like."

"The awkward Lie is really cute too."

"..."

--So cute. ⑥⑧ ③ ⑦ 0②⑨ 9⑤

Looking at Lie who was silent and expressionless as if he was making a fuss, Aponia couldn't help thinking from the bottom of her heart that she seemed to have inadvertently figured out the knack of getting along with Lie.

Walking through the empty aisles and passing through the empty rooms, Lie seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked: "By the way, Aponia, the nursing home is so big, is it just you and the children?"

Speaking of this, Aponia's eyes dimmed a little, and she couldn't help showing a downcast expression. She said in a deep voice, "Well, there used to be a lot of people, but then the adults left one after another, and finally even the priest left too. ...afterwards, it was just me and the children."

"why?"

The expression on Aponia's face became even more serious: "I don't know, maybe it's because it would hurt everyone if they stayed. After they left one after another, they lost contact not long after, and the priest even explained the matter to me. Then he committed suicide..."

Lie noticed the change in Aponia's expression, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I brought up your sadness."

Aponia shook her head lightly: "It's okay."

"So, have you been living in a nursing home with the kids after the adults have left? How are you sustaining your daily expenses?"

Aponia suddenly trembled, her eyes drifted a little: "Well, basically it depends on people's donations, after all, this is Twilight Street, no one can guarantee the safety of their lives, and nursing homes are one of the few that can provide medical assistance The place is still free, plus the popularity of the sanitarium before, save some food and money, life can still go on..."

"You still heal?"

"Following the adults' ears and eyes, I know a little bit of medical knowledge. I can only say that it is better than nothing, and it is quite effective in Dusk Street... However, it mainly depends on the equipment here. Although the adults left, they did not take this place with them. device of."

"Is that why it's a nursing home? What about those children? Are they in poor health or are they adopted by no one?"

"Well, the reason is both. Their parents are gone..."

"Will you maintain these devices?"

This really confused Aponia's question. She lowered her head, pressed her lips tightly, and finally said with difficulty after a long while: "Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to repair and maintain these equipment... Fortunately, until now, The equipment here is basically functioning normally."

After hearing this, Lie said honestly: "Well, that's not good. If there is something wrong with the equipment, then this nursing home will be considered abolished."

"...That's right."

Seeing that Aponiya was a little unhappy, Lie took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't be discouraged, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, what you have to do, what you should do, you can do it with all your heart, there is no need to take care of everything...the world is unpredictable, I Didn't he eat ice cream with his front feet before, and his back feet would collapse. Not only did he shatter the ice cream in his hand without taking a bite, but he also had to fight with a fast running thing, and finally fell into the sea, all the way Drifting so far..."

"Relax, there may be someone who can provide repair and maintenance services on the street at dusk, but you don't know... I will pay attention to it, and you should inquire more often. If there is something wrong with the equipment, then Let's go out together and ask door to door, we should be able to find a way, probably."

"...What if I can't find it?"

"Then there's no other way, either you take me to a place other than Twilight Street, or you have to give up, but I don't think you know other places, let alone take me there. "

"Ah, no, you still have to do it yourself. There is a high probability that I will only have a counterproductive effect. I will scare the opponent away without saying a word... I will work hard for you then. Tell me if you encounter any trouble. Help as much as you can."

"...Would you like to help me?"

Hearing this, Lie couldn't help blinking his eyes, the stupid hair on his head turned into a question mark, he tilted his head and asked, "Didn't you ask me to stay? Then shouldn't I do something?"

The fierce questioning warmed Aponia's heart, and seeing him showing such a cute and cute gesture, Aponia instantly thought of the other party's past, and the brilliance of motherhood could not help but embrace him in her arms. "Lie, you are such a gentle and good boy."

The familiar smell rushed over, and the full and warm nephrite was squeezed and deformed through the fabric, bringing a delicate and soft touch, while covering the entire field of vision. In an instant, there was only a deep darkness in Lie's eyes.

Lie said inarticulately, "Aponia, it's hard for me to walk like this."

However, Aponiya did not intend to let go at all, and replied softly: "It's okay, I will lead you forward."

Feeling the tightening force on his back, Lie gave up thinking and resisting: "Forget it, as long as you are happy."

The two walked to the door of the cafeteria like this, whether they were satisfied or did not want to be seen by the children inside, Aponia finally let go of Lie.

After leaving Aponia's embrace, Lie shook his head, looked at Aponia with a faint smile on his face, and raised the dull hair on his head, he said with some uncertainty: "It seems that the behavior just now Can it make you feel better?"

Aponia didn't deny it, and smiled lightly: "Well, after all, Lie is not only gentle, but also cute."

——And it's small, soft, and comfortable to hold in your arms.

Albania added in her heart.

"Sure enough, Alponia is a freak."

"... Lie, don't you like me treating you like that?"

"No, it doesn't matter to me."

The children inside heard the conversation outside, and they couldn't help shouting together: "Sister Aponia, when will dinner be served!"

"Ah, it's not good, I've been busy chatting with Lie, it's a little later than before..."

"Is it okay to prepare meals for so many people at once? Do you need my help?"

"No, just go in and wait with the children."

"Alright, I'll coax them for you."

After all, Aponia and Lie split into two groups. Aponia hurried towards the back kitchen, while Lie pushed open the door of the cafeteria and went in to chat with the children.

The children's attention was attracted to Lie in an instant, and they all gathered around Lie's side to ask questions. Fortunately, Lie had experience dealing with children in the past, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to deal with these chattering and energetic people. brat.

"Okay, kids, stop making trouble, it's time for dinner."

It wasn't until Aponia came in with a few steaming buckets on a cart that the children dispersed and lined up to get their own tableware. Ankexia also pulled Lie to join them.

Lie took a set of cutlery as the Romans did, and then imitated the actions of the children, and walked with them to Alponia to line up for meals.

But when it was his turn—

"Okay, this is for Lie."

Looking at the rice in the lunch box and the fried cabbage with a little oil and water, thinking of the previous conversation, Lie suddenly had question marks on his face. He stood where he was, and after the children were all seated for dinner, he went to Aponia Beside him, whispered softly:

"Didn't you say that the children are not in good health? What about protein? This little thing can't make them healthy, let alone develop well."

Aponia's expression froze immediately, she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Lie, and her tone of voice was obviously weak: "I forgot that the eggs were used up, and the income and expenditure situation of the nursing home is not very good recently..."

Lie rolled his eyes and asked again: "Can they eat seafood?"

Aponiya's head was so low that it was almost buried in her broad chest, and she stuttered a little: "Very, I like it."

"Can you tell what seafood they can eat and what seafood they can't eat?"

"Huh? Lie, you ask this to do..."

"The teacher said that it is not enough for children to develop without protein. Of course, this problem is also very easy to solve. I just go to the sea to catch some fish and bring them up—of course, it’s okay to not eat fish. If you know where there is game, tell me. It’s okay if I go to hunt some wild game and seafood.”

Chapter 7: Yay!

Seeing Lie who was so considerate of the children, Aponia couldn't help showing a bright smile: "Lie, you are really gentle, the gentlest in the world."

Lie frowned, puzzled and said: "Huh? Aponia, are your eyes really okay? No matter how I look at it, there is no place that can be hooked to this word, right?"

Aponia put down the spoon in his hand, stretched out his hand to scratch his nose, and said earnestly: "Lie, modesty is a good thing, but excessive modesty is hypocrisy. In the face of sincere praise from others, I think it's better to be frank." better to accept it.”

Hearing this, Lie was even more puzzled. It could be said that his face was full of question marks. He pointed to himself, tilted his head and murmured in confusion: "Me? Very gentle?"

Aponia clasped his hands together in front of his chest, squinted his eyes and said, "Well, Lie is the gentlest child I've ever seen. You can put yourself in the children's shoes, which is the best proof in itself."

"Put yourself in your shoes? I don't know how to do this, it's too difficult... I'm just making a judgment based on basic biological common sense."

Aponia still had a smile on her face, and her tone seemed very cheerful: "You have no obligation or responsibility to help them, let alone a mission imposed on you, right? But you still chose to help them, and you are even willing to be considerate of their needs." Taste and preference, change your approach, go hunting for them..."

Lie nodded with a half understanding: "That's it..."

"Brother lie! Here, sit on my side!"

At that time, Ankexia's bright voice suddenly came, and Lie Xun looked at him, only to see that Ankexia was kicking his calf, slapping the seat next to him, and looking at him expectantly.

"Ah! Ankexia is so cunning! Don't sneak away!"

"As expected of Ankexia, she can easily do things we can't do!"

"Sit, sit next to me... also, it's okay!"

……

A layer of rocks stirred up a thousand waves, and soon, the children who were bowing their heads to cook became noisy again.

Facing everyone's enthusiasm, Lie seemed a little overwhelmed and stuck in place, looking a little dazed.

Aponia smiled and patted Lie on the shoulder: "Go quickly, the children are waiting for you, they like you very much, you go and explain to the children first, let's start improving the food tomorrow, After all, it's getting late today."

"Okay...don't you eat Alponia?"

"Me? I still have something to do, I'll eat later, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

"...Is the amount enough? If it's not enough, I'll give it to you. Anyway, I already had a full meal in the sea before, and I won't be hungry for a long time in the future."

"Okay, okay, I know you are a good boy, I'm fine, you go over there quickly, they can't wait."

After all, Aponia pushed Lie's shoulder in the direction of the children. Seeing that Aponia rejected him, Lie didn't say anything more, turned around and walked straight to Ankexia in the order of first come, first come next to him, and sit down.

An Kexia's face suddenly smiled like a flower: "Hee hee hee~ I knew brother lie would choose my side."

The child next to him couldn't sit still: "Fart, it's because you sneaked away!"

"That's right, Ankexia is really too cunning!"

"Shut up, you guys. If you win, you win. The winner is me, Ankexia!"

In the end, Lie came out to smooth things over: "Okay, move your chopsticks quickly, don't disappoint Aponiya's heart, and the food is cold, which is not good for your health."

"Well, since brother lie said so..."

I don't know if Lie's invisible coercion is still working subtly. The children listened to Lie's words, and soon stopped bickering and began to bow their heads to cook.

Suddenly, Ankexia moved her body and got closer to Lie. She leaned her head over and whispered into Lie's ear: "Brother Lie, I saw you were arguing with Sister Alponia just now. , Is it because this portion is not enough to eat? If it is not enough, I will give you my portion too, I am not hungry... Don’t blame Sister Aponia, she has really tried her best."

After all, she pushed her dinner plate in the direction of Lie, looking at Lie with eyes full of pure goodwill.

Lie didn't expect that Ankexia would do this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "...Why do you think so?"

"I know that brother lie is so strong, so he must consume a lot of energy. This amount is definitely not enough for brother lie, right? It's because of this that you had an argument with sister Aponia just now, right?"

"I'm sorry, since the adults disappeared, the nursing home has been in a semi-abandoned state. Fortunately, Sister Aponia is running it, otherwise we don't know what to do next, but even so, the supplies of the nursing home are still relatively scarce. What she eats is also simple and light food, and when she is in short supply, there is even a meal without a meal, but we all know that Sister Aponia has really tried her best..."

"Did you know that I have great strength?"

"Because brother lie has a kind... um... How should I put it..."

"Aura, prestige, deterrence, momentum, majesty...it's all fine."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's it. Brother lie has a terrible aura. To be honest, when I first saw brother lie, I couldn't help kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up! "

——Does your understanding and perception of "strong" mean strength?

— After all, he is a child.
