I am the former civilized hero.

Chapter 207 Summer Festival

Walking up the stone steps, the mountainside becomes much wider and the paved stone road extends all the way to the top of the mountain, with square small shops on both sides of the road.

Ryan was overwhelmed by the variety of snacks, souvenirs, and small games, and there were even more people on the road, slowly crawling up the mountain, with long queues outside every shop.

"It's so lively." Hua looked around, his eyes turning into amazement, "Brother, do you remember the days when we were little?"

There are a lot of people here, and apart from the fact that more people are there for fun, there is really no difference.

"It's my treat today. You can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want." Ryan waved his wallet in a casual manner. He had a small treasury.

Hua originally wanted to say that he would pay, but suddenly remembered Carol's teachings and nodded slightly: "Okay, then I, let's start with the candy apples."

Because there were too many people, Ryan didn't want to use Honkai energy in such a crowded place, so he held Hua's hand.

"First, some candied apples, then some fried bananas, and finally some octopus balls to fill your stomach, and then we can play one by one."

"Okay."

Neither of them used Honkai energy. They lined up like ordinary people, and went to small shops one after another. Before long, Hua had no more room in his hands.

She had no choice but to give up her reserve and ate the sweet apple candy in two bites. As soon as her hands were free, the glutinous rice dumplings were in her hands again. She ate one piece at a time. Just as she took a breath, the octopus balls came again.

"The most important thing is femininity. Find out what your senior likes and go in that direction. Of course, your breasts are hopeless."

She had long forgotten Carol's warning. This was not the Fire Moth. She didn't need to maintain the dignity of a senior and officer while having lunch. This was also not her home, and she was afraid of Ryan lecturing her.

As she was enjoying her meal, she suddenly heard a laugh from the side and pouted: "Why are you laughing at me?"

"No, no, it's just that it's rare to see such a vibrant side of you. You've finally done something appropriate for your age, and figured out a problem that has troubled you for a long time." Ryan raised his head slightly, still with a smile on his face.

He didn't know why Fu Hua had that kind of personality in the original world line, but in this world, dullness and steadiness might be related to himself.

After all, when the two met, Fu Hua was still young. Although he was only three years older, he had the soul of an adult. Maturity was his label, which was totally inconsistent with his age. Even Fu Hua's father commented that he was "mature beyond his years."

So she was subtly influenced to become like this. Once a personality is formed, it is difficult to change. Does this count as a mistake on her part?

Ryan turned his head and looked at Hua's puzzled face. He reached out and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth: "Just enjoy the festival today and do what a 17-year-old girl should do."

Hua was confused for a moment. She had long since left the category of "girls" and became a "soldier". Just as she was thinking about what to do, Ryan grabbed her hand.

"Go play with the balloons first. Remember not to take it too seriously, or the boss will cry. Sleep."

The two men started running. Hua glanced at the man's hand and saw the smile on his lips, and suddenly realized something.

"Brother, do you like Miss Alicia?"

"Why are you mentioning her all of a sudden? I can only say that no one would hate her."

"But I always feel that you prefer mature and stable women."

Ryan paused for a moment, as if the corner of his clothes was being pulled by the darkness. He turned his head and smiled, "You are wrong. I only like real people, no matter if they are crazy, passionate, cold or...dull and steady."

Hua was speechless for a moment, and even began to doubt his life, but as he thought about it, he started to laugh.

"Carol, you are wrong. I don't need to change at all. I just need to stay true to myself. Why waste my brain?"

She relaxed at once. For her senior brother, there was no such thing as pleasing him. Although she didn't want to admit it, he and Miss Alicia were indeed very similar.

"Come on, I want to have a good competition with you."

When Ryan looked at Hua's eyes, he knew that she understood. No matter her usual dull and steady appearance or her youthful exuberance at this moment, this was still Hua. Why should she have any psychological burden and try hard to become someone else?

It’s small and cute.

"Haha, then you have to be more serious." Ryan took down a banknote and picked up the air gun under the boss's vigilant gaze.

"I have also practiced with firearms, and this is my first time competing with you, so of course I have to be serious." Hua also picked up the air rifle, with the momentum of wanting to see who was better.

Gulu.

The boss swallowed his saliva, and when he saw the way the two men raised their guns, he knew that he had met an expert today, and he silently winked at his younger brother.

Remind brothers, someone is here to purchase goods.

The gunshots were short and stopped after a few minutes. The only ones left were the boss with a sad face and Hua carrying two huge dolls.

"I won. You need to work on your shooting skills. You took too long to aim."

"I originally used my fists and feet..." Hua muttered in a low voice, and pointed to the small shop in the distance, "How about we throw darts?"

"Don't you think it's simple?"

"Then throw it from a hundred meters away. I've been specially trained for this."

"Okay, that will satisfy you."

......

As the night deepened, the festival became more and more lively. However, people who came later were surprised to find that all the challenging shops on both sides of the road were closed. After asking around, they learned a legend.

A man and a woman swept through the entire festival, winning all the games from air guns, darts, iron rings to goldfish fishing and big eater challenges, leaving the bosses in tears.

They are not here to participate in the festival, they are clearly here to purchase goods.

But they soon discovered that the prizes they had won had been returned and neatly placed in front of each shop, but the owners felt it was too embarrassing to open the doors.

After passing through the commercial area, there is another square going up. There are several wooden houses around the square, selling ice cream and cold drinks, and there are some tables and chairs in front of the shops.

Ryan ordered an iced coffee and sat down, looking at the sparks in the square with interest. They were girls playing with fireworks, among which Hua with gray-blue hair was particularly eye-catching.

She half-knelt, watching the fairy wand gradually burn, illuminating her bright eyes and white teeth. There was a kind of naive dullness, the sparks were reflected in her pupils, and everything seemed extremely beautiful.

Hua lit up one cigarette after another, and occasionally chatted with the girl next to him. No one knew what they were talking about, but Hua's face was slightly red, and he occasionally glanced at the edge of the square.

"She hasn't even played with a fairy wand. Hmm, it seems like her life has been really monotonous these years." Ryan paused with his hand holding the coffee, realizing that Hua was being too hard-working and serious.

In the past, apart from going to school and working, I practiced boxing. After joining the Fire Moth, forget it. I’ve been working hard to become stronger all day long. Isn’t it just to catch up with me?

It's really hard for Hua. Her performance is the lowest among the Thirteen Heroes, but she makes up for her shortcomings with hard work and has done well till now.

Too serious, too hard-working, and too sensible, he noticed that I was a little tired, so he decided to play by himself. I really want to learn from some annoying guy.

Ryan took a sip of the bitter coffee and half-supported his head. He thought it would be nice to let Hua relax occasionally. This guy just liked to keep himself too tense. Fortunately, he was still young and some of his nature was still stubborn.

This thing is also very fragile, and it will disappear completely after being washed away by time.

Fifty thousand years, fifty thousand years. What would she become if I were gone? Would the aftereffects of using Yu Duchen make her forget me?

As Ryan was thinking, he put down his coffee cup and suddenly felt a stomachache. He quickly retracted his scattered thoughts and raised his head slightly.

"It's fun to take a girl out on a date."

With a glass of orange juice in front of him, the blond young man stood quietly, looking at the men and women in the square. He sighed after a long time.

"It's so beautiful, just like a crystal ball, beautiful but easily broken."

Ryan frowned slightly. He had long been aware of the man's presence and said casually, "Do you think your work is meaningful?"

"Of course, even if there are many frustrations, it's good to be able to ensure the peace of a small number of people. I also want to have a passionate love affair."

"But you got slapped a lot."

"That's because they don't understand my charm. Brothels have their advantages, but you have to pay after all." Coleman sat down, brushed his golden bangs, and proudly took out his mobile phone and waved it: "Besides, there are still people who know what I'm doing. I've been busy all night and made a lot of new friends. I don't have to rack my brains to get reimbursed."

I see, you want to get something for free.

Ryan couldn't understand the man in front of him, and didn't want to talk to him, so he asked coldly: "Your surveillance method is very interesting, do you want to make a deal?"

"Don't worry, I'm on vacation too. Those idiots are really overthinking. Aren't you just taking your girlfriend out for some fun?"

"She's not my girlfriend."

"I know, I know. It's not like I haven't done three women at the same time before. As someone who has experienced this, I want to warn you that you might lose your life if you're not careful. Women can be very scary."

You know nothing. Why do I feel like we are not on the same channel?

Ryan changed his sitting position and frowned, "So why are you here tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Coleman become serious, even his sitting posture became straight, and he gently stroked his chin with his hand.

"To be honest, it's because... my last name is Lu."

Ryan almost couldn't hold it in, and he coughed lightly to cover up his shock, his lips twitching slightly.

"You are really a, uh, pure person."

"Yes, the most important thing in life is to follow your instincts. I am extremely honored to be praised by Dr. Ryan." Coleman said, saluted with his hand on his chest, and then slowly stood up.

"As a fellow human being, I hope to be your friend rather than your enemy. Some people in Neon are getting angry. It would be great if you could stay calm. At least within the framework of the Fire Moth, there is no one with absolute power. You just need to be patient with some things."

He dropped a meaningless remark, picked up the orange juice on the table, and went to the next room where a few pretty girls were sitting. Then the serious fusion warrior took out his business card and smiled lewdly.

Snapped.

Ryan heard the crisp sound of a slap, and before he had time to think about Coleman's words, he just threw the empty coffee cup into the trash can.

Bah, who is your kind?

Chapter 208 Oh, You're Blushing

Could it be that mental abnormalities have become a common phenomenon when undergoing surgery?

Ryan looked at Coleman, who was not angry even after being slapped, and had a masochistic temperament. He was also a wonderful person who maintained his "true self". The confession of "To be honest, I was motivated by sexual desire" echoed in his mind again and again.

He is truly a gentleman.

Ryan spat, smiled at Hua who waved at him, then lowered his head to think.

This person is neither an enemy nor a friend. He just said that he doesn't want to be my enemy. He also talked a lot about patience and solving the problem within the framework of the Fire Moth.

There was no need to think about the reminder. Ryan simply raised his head and looked at Hua who was waving at him.

'After waiting for so many days, you finally couldn't bear it anymore and prepared to warn me.'

Ryan walked over with a smile, not taking it seriously at all, because his vacation was almost over and he couldn't slack off any longer.

"All burned?"

"Yeah, I remember playing with fireworks when I was very young, but I didn't have the chance to do it later." Hua Yiben was satisfied, he tiptoed a little and glanced at Coleman, "What did he tell you? Did he come to monitor you?"

"No, he's on vacation too. We just happened to meet and chatted for a while. He's quite a humorous person." Ryan replied, not ruining the girl's mood.

"Really?"
