I am the former civilized hero.

Who cares what he wants to do, as long as he comes.

The three of them left the airport, got on the assigned jeep, and headed into the city. As one of the world's largest cities, Tokyo has a population of tens of millions and complete facilities. The densely packed skyscrapers are no different from before the war, except that the roads are much dirtier and ragged homeless people can be seen everywhere.

Occasionally you could hear a few gunshots, followed by the sirens whistling away. There weren't many normal people to be seen at night, only some sneaky figures.

Under the dense snow, it is unknown how long they can last.

“Is Tokyo’s public safety very bad?”

"Yes, a large number of people poured in in an instant, and the unemployment rate exploded. The management bureau is planning to clean it up and send the young and strong ones to farm outside the city." Carol yawned. She joined the Fire Moth this year and fused with the factor of a lower-level Honkai beast.

Ryan glanced at Hua who was driving seriously, and in a trance he returned to Canghai last year. At that time, he was driving, there were two innocent high school girls in the car, and the window was full of the atmosphere of the city.

Citizens who were still out strolling late at night, the smoky barbecue stalls, and looking at the "scenery" outside at the moment, Ryan shrank back in his seat and sighed.

It's only been a short time and there's no going back.

Chapter 196: You are a rare childhood sweetheart!

The car drove through the snow and went straight to the city center, where patrol police officers could be seen everywhere. Public security had finally returned to normal, and people felt a bit of civilization and prosperity.

The signs are like light-polluted nightclubs, always full of drunken people. The red light at the intersection comes on, and people who just got off work walk by with their heads down. Ryan quietly watches the crowd coming out of the office building, wondering if there is any overtime he can work in the current situation.

But people always have to find something to do, as if by sticking to their previous living habits, they can hold on to the daily routine that has passed.

The green light came on and the car drove into the underground parking lot. Hua turned off the engine and got out of the car with his luggage.

"Brother, we are here."

Ryan, who was dozing off in the passenger seat, woke up instantly and looked around: "This doesn't look like a hotel?"

"This is the dormitory of the Fire Chaser Moth. To be more precise, this is my home. There are no rooms available in the hotel. Please make do with it for now."

Ryan glanced at Carol's ambiguous eyes, but didn't say anything. He had lived under the same roof with Hua when she was twelve years old. He saw her grow taller and continue to be flat, so he didn't mind.

"Send me the specific address later."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I asked Wei Wei to send a gift. And Alicia was clamoring for some meatballs. I'll try to send them back to her."

Hua's face suddenly tightened, and he turned around without saying a word: "Please follow me."

thump.

As Ryan left, he heard a muffled sound. He turned around and saw Carol waving his fist excitedly, with an expression of disappointment on his face.

Strange girl.

Ryan shrugged, no longer paying attention to the hot girl who was still wearing hot pants and purple stockings in the cold weather, and quickly followed her.

I took the elevator directly to the tenth floor, and when I came out I saw that this was an old Japanese-style apartment. The corridor on one side was completely open, and the snow had drifted in. A middle-aged woman was sweeping the snow.

She saw Hua and smiled with wrinkles: "Second Lieutenant, have you eaten? I left some dinner at home."

"Aunt Chuan, you don't have to be so polite. We are all neighbors."

"Haha, without your help, we might not be able to live here after our husband died in battle. Hey, Carol is here to visit us today too. I fried some shrimp balls. Come and try them."

"Yeah, I like Auntie's shrimp balls the best."

Watching Carol skipping away, Ryan returned the greeting to the middle-aged woman who bowed to him, and then walked to Hua who was holding the key to open the door.

"A warrior's widow?"

"Well, Sergeant Dan's wife was killed in the attack and defense of Kyushu Island. I felt sorry for the orphan and widow, so I asked Captain Himiko to report to the higher-ups." Hua's hand that was turning the door lock paused slightly, and he turned his head woodenly.

"Brother, am I meddling in other people's business?"

"No, that's exactly what I said. No matter how strong you are, you must preserve your humanity. I feel relieved to see that you have this idea." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Hua was having a hard time.

The never-ending war is bound to drive people crazy, but Hua Muna’s character is also a good thing, as it is difficult to be changed by the outside world.

Hua didn't quite understand, but was very happy to be praised by Ryan, so he pushed open the door.

This is a standard Japanese-style apartment with one bedroom, two living rooms, an open kitchen, wooden floors, two pairs of wool slippers placed at the entrance, and everything is very clean.

Hua leaned against the wall, pulled her legs out of her snow-stained boots, put on pink rabbit slippers, and took off her coat, revealing the gray turtleneck sweater underneath.

"I've already secured your room. I'll heat up the dinner right away. You can take a bath and relax first."

Everything was so natural that one forgot they hadn't seen each other for several months.

"You go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

Ryan didn't hesitate to change into slippers and walked into the room for a while. Sure enough, the bed in the guest room had been made and even had an electric blanket, which made him, the "strongest human being", feel both amused and confused.

Then he went to the living room. There were stuffed toys on the coffee table, which made people realize that this was a girl's boudoir. There were a few photos next to the TV cabinet. He picked one up and found that they were old photos from many years ago.

The black-haired, grey-eyed boy stood with his hands behind his back, his face filled with a maturity that did not belong to his age. A girl in a baggy school uniform half-pegged her body out from behind him. She was about eleven or twelve years old and looked very introverted.

Ryan turned his head and glanced at the kitchen. A girl in a turtleneck sweater, a black woolen skirt and cotton socks was busy working with an apron on. Although she had a young figure, she exuded the aura of a young woman.

"Where is the master?"

"My father is in Suzhou. He doesn't want to come to Neon with me, let alone seek refuge." Hua paused, looking a little distressed. "But don't worry, he's doing well. He asked you about it a while ago."

Ryan picked up the second photo. It was a photo of a stubborn girl being pinned to the ground by a young man. She had tears in her eyes but she did not beg for mercy. He still remembered the man who took the photo, Hua's father, and his wild laughter.

Afterwards, I specifically asked him whether Hua was his biological son. I was beaten up as a result. Fortunately, I got my revenge later.

Ryan laughed and asked, "What did you ask me? Why didn't you give me his number after he changed his phone number?"

Hua's face suddenly turned red. He secretly turned his head to glance at Ryan who was looking at the photos, and patted his chest lightly.

That stupid dad always asks me when I will marry you, and asks you to go back and inherit the martial arts school and carry forward the Cunxin Fist!

How dare I let you two get in touch.

"Ahem, my father didn't let me give it to you."

"Humph, you still hold a grudge. Didn't I win every time I fought ten times?"

"But my father said he had lost all his face."

"What's there to be ashamed of? I have fought against all the sects in Shenzhou and have earned his face back long ago." Ryan snorted twice. At that time, he was obsessed with martial arts and had not yet embarked on the path of research. After all, violence can bring the most intuitive sense of security.

At that time, he was already a famous physicist who was best at explaining the truth using physics.

With the bonus of destiny, he not only learns quickly but can also draw inferences from what he has learned. Even without Honkai energy, ordinary humans are no match for him.

"Well, senior brother was known as 'Invincible with Two Fists' and 'The Scourge of the Martial Arts World' at that time." Hua turned around, his face full of admiration, then he put his legs together, pointed one finger to the sky, and turned sideways with his back to Ryan.

"I still remember your handsome pose after your victory."

Uh, forget about those middle school-era names.

Ryan's face turned red. He had been full of youthful vigor and vitality when he got excited, but now it has all become a dark history.

"I'm going to take a shower, you take your time."

He put down the photo and ran away as if running for his life.

Hey, I said I would repeat what I said to you. I have memorized it.

"If I, Ryan, had not been born, the world would be like a long night; a sword of star frost would make me lonely like snow;"

Hua was muttering to himself when he heard someone running into the bathhouse. He tilted his head in confusion.

It seems like my senior brother really minds it? Oh, I still can't think of a similar sentence, the difference is really huge.

She sighed, put the cut ingredients into the pan and stir-fried them. Just as she opened the salt, she heard the door open again.

"Carol, wait a moment, I'll be done soon."

"I've eaten at Aunt Chuan's." The girl walked briskly to the side and gently put her arm around her friend's slender waist. "How can I disturb your good time? If you shamelessly stay here, you will hate me to death."

"Stop it." Hua felt a little itchy and twisted his waist slightly: "My senior brother and I are not that kind of relationship. I respect him very much."

"Bah, you always back down at the critical moment. I couldn't hide your expression when he mentioned Alicia just now."

Hua paused while stirring the food, and his expression became conflicted. He thought for a long time before sighing.

"I am too ordinary. I can't compare with Miss Alicia. She is like a scorching sun. She is born to be the center of attention."

"Well, you are indeed a bit ordinary, with a dull personality, like an old scholar, small breasts, and unremarkable clothes..." Carol said, seeing the sullenness in Hua's eyes, and laughed dryly. :

"But you also have a unique advantage. You have the attributes of a childhood sweetheart!"

"Childhood sweetheart? Don't you always say that childhood sweethearts can't beat the one who came from heaven?"

"That's from a cartoon. Seriously, why does my stomach start to ache when I talk about you? Anyway, you have your advantages. Show your usual indomitable spirit!"

"But......"

"You are afraid that this kind of relationship can't be maintained, right? Don't worry, your senior brother won't be so heartless. As for the embarrassment, if you don't want to be embarrassed, it will be others who are embarrassed."

Hua Jingjing looked at her friend who looked like an expert and snorted, "You have never been in a relationship, and you dare to teach me?"

"You haven't eaten pork, so you can't watch pigs run? I've read a lot of similar magazines. I've also read your fortune for today. The book says that you should be full of courage, and good things will happen."

"What kind of courage do I need?" Hua picked up the salt. Actually, she had her own ideas and thought it wouldn't hurt to listen to Carol's advice.

"Now I'm going to use the weapon I got from Aunt Chuan. Close your eyes now."

"I'm cooking, why are you closing your eyes? Hurry and take it out."

"How boring." Carol pouted and took something out of her back pocket. "The winning bra she wore when she was young must be useful!"

puff.

Hua couldn't hold it in for a moment and poured the whole can of salt into the pot, then hurriedly turned off the fire.

It was a purple lace bra that looked very sexy, and was completely different from the sporty ones Hua usually wore.

As she watched, her face slowly turned red.

"Oh, you're shy."

"Carol, go back quickly. If you are seen by your senior brother..."

Click.

The door of the bathhouse was opened, and Hua hid the underwear under the sofa at super fast speed, and pinched Carol's smiling face.

"And don't you see, there's no way I can fit into that size!"
