She now understood why Wen Yue often came to see her when she was little, just like she was teasing Talina now.
Pulling Talina's hand away from her mouth, Chen pulled out the thumb she had just put in her mouth: "You're already so old, and you still have such childish habits."
Chen, feeling both amused and helpless, settled Talina down again, then stood up and looked down at Talina who was sleeping soundly.
"She says she's the older sister, but she doesn't act like one at all. Who is the younger sister?"
After pinching Talina's smooth face again, Chen opened the door and walked out satisfied.
It was almost time to get off work, so she had to go out and see if there was anything she needed to deal with, and at the same time discuss the explosion with Xingxiong or Shi Huaiya.
Before the person was caught, Chen Jue did not dare to be careless. The Sarkaz hiding in the dark was like a vicious snake, and it would jump out at any time.
After locking the office door, Chen went downstairs.
The Guard Bureau is slightly busier in the afternoon than during the day. After a busy day, everyone wants to get off work as soon as possible and hand over their work.
After all, before joining the Guards, they were just ordinary people.
Not everyone is as motivated as Chen. Most people just see this as a job rather than a responsibility.
It’s that simple to get things done with money.
Walking towards the cafeteria, Chen greeted passers-by along the way, attracting a lot of attention, just like a few days ago.
Chen was lucky as there was some food left in the cafeteria. After a friendly exchange with the aunt serving the food, Chen successfully borrowed two clean lunch boxes.
On the way back, there were constant whispers of discussion around me, most of which were about the two lunch boxes in Chen's hands.
Ignoring the noisy discussions around him, Chen put it all behind him and walked towards the office.
Chen took out his key, unlocked the door, and walked in.
"Good afternoon~"
The lazy tone suddenly sounded, which made Chen, who didn't know what he was thinking, stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the sofa.
Talina, who was still sleeping before she left, had already woken up and was now curled up on the sofa, greeting her lazily.
Because of the long sleep, the area around Talina's eyes was red, and her clear blue eyes were misty, making her look as if she had just cried.
"Awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Putting the food on the desk, Chen called to Talina: "Are you hungry? I just made some food. Now that you're awake, come and have something to eat."
"Good~"
With a strange ending tone, Talina jumped off the sofa and staggered towards Chen. When she got close to Chen, she fell into Chen's arms.
"Eat something and take a rest. I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for the next few days."
Combing Talina's messy hair with his hands, Chen took her aside and brought two stools. The two of them started their dinner.
The food in the cafeteria is not bad, but it is not that delicious either. After all, it is a big pot meal, and in order to cater to the tastes of so many people, it can only be made like this.
Chen, whose appetite had long been spoiled by Talina, picked at the food intermittently and took a long time to take a bite.
She wasn't picky about food, she just wasn't hungry yet, and she was eating now just to appease Talina.
Contrary to Chen's expectations, Talina ate happily and didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all.
"Is it tasty?"
Looking at Talina's elegant yet weird eating habits, Chen asked curiously.
"generally."
After taking the time to reply, Talina went back to eating her dinner.
"Then why are you eating so happily? If I remember correctly, aren't you the eldest lady?"
After get off work, Chen teased Talina, a rare occurrence. Unexpectedly, Talina remained unmoved. Instead, she glanced at Chen and said, "Aren't you still a princess? How different can our status be?"
"That's true..."
After being rebuked by Talina, Chen gave up the idea of teasing the little bird any further.
It would be fun if you didn't end up being defeated.
But it wasn't long after the silence that Talina took the initiative to chat with her again.
"Besides, did you misunderstand something?"
"...Back then, on the snowy plains, the food was much worse than this. In the beginning, everyone just made porridge out of the little food they had and some strange things. It wasn't until later on that things started to get a little better."
"Ursus?"
Hearing a hint of nostalgia in Talina's words, Chen asked immediately, "Can you tell me about that time?"
During the time he knew Talina, Chen had been busy dealing with other things and had never talked to Talina about her past.
She only knew a rough outline of what was happening in Ursus, but she didn't know the details. Now that she had the rare opportunity, she wanted to hear...
Not bad.
Volume 5: Chapter 74: Tallulah: A-choo!!!
The two of them talked until dark, and the topic gradually died down.
Talina talked about her arrival in Ursus and her departure from Ursus. There was no personal emotion mixed in the whole story. She just told Chen everything related to Talulah.
As Chen's only "family" now, Talina feels that she needs to take good care of her sister and give her the best both materially and emotionally.
She agreed to all of Chen's requests, and no matter how outrageous the matter was, she would do her best to do it.
Of course, Chen didn't ask her to do anything.
When Talina finished speaking, Chen Ye slowly finished the food in the lunch box.
After listening to Talina's narration, she was still a little dazed and sat there.
Tallulah's past experiences were completely different from what she had imagined, but they also matched her perception of Tallulah.
My sister should be that kind of person...
But she has grown up now, and has changed from protecting herself to protecting others.
Her tolerance did not stop at what was in front of her, but extended to the distance, allowing her to see more things that she could not see.
Infected...
The Originium crystal on his foot seemed to be heating up slightly, and the constant slight pain reminded him of his identity all the time.
Tallulah, who became an infected person, found her own direction, but what about her?
Her direction, or rather her goal...
Where else?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
In a trance, a warm feeling crashed into Chen's arms, and their foreheads touched. The same care as when they were children appeared in front of Chen again.
With her forehead close to Chen's, Talina felt his body temperature, and after a while she frowned and left Chen.
"Strange, the body temperature is normal..."
With her arms folded across her chest, Talina looked at Chen, who looked bewildered, not knowing why he was like that.
He was fine just now, how come he became like a different person in the blink of an eye?
Can eating a meal cause problems for people?
When Talina was about to explore again, Chen woke up in time and stopped Talina.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about something."
Waving his hand, Chen placed one hand on Talina's forehead, ignoring the other's pitiful look.
During the time they were getting to know each other, Taqilina had used this trick a lot, and Chen Wu had gradually developed resistance to it. From being helpless at the beginning to being indifferent now, the whole process took only a short half month.
"All right..."
It was no use pretending to be pitiful, so Talina had to give up the idea of continuing the investigation and turned around to start packing up the leftover lunch boxes of the two people.
Looking at Talina's busy back, Chen suddenly felt that this was actually quite good, a rhythm completely opposite to her daily life.
Tallulah, the name that surrounded her throughout her life, has always accompanied her in another way even after her death.
I will always remember you...
Bring your share...
Live!
.........
"Ah!"
The white-haired dragon girl sat by the fire and sneezed suddenly.
"Cold? That shouldn't be the case..."
Rubbing her nose, Tallulah was full of doubts. Has she been sneezing more frequently recently?
I am obviously a fire dragon. Logically speaking, I shouldn't catch a cold no matter what disease I contract, right?
"Have you thought about it? What should we do next?"
Holding a branch in her hand, Froststar pokes at the fire and asks Tallulah, "It's true we've gotten away from them for now, but I don't think they'll let us go so easily."
"Don't worry, let's see what's going on over there in Broken Bone. If possible, maybe we can create some conflict to divert the attention of those nobles."
Tallulah wiped her nose and shook her head.
Since the beginning of the year, their plan to migrate south has been hindered, and the difficulties they experienced along the way were far more than she had imagined.
As the "military merit" nurtured by the Ursus nobles, how could they allow the guerrillas to leave the territory of Ursus?
The two sides have been fighting tacitly for so many years, and now the guerrillas say they don’t want to fight anymore. What should they do?
If internal conflicts cannot be vented through the outside world, the only result will be fratricide, and their end will certainly not be good.
Without such a soft persimmon, they can only be devoured.
"Bonebreaker... Is that woman really reliable?"
When Froststar heard Tallulah mention the broken bones, her brows furrowed.
"That woman named W doesn't look like a good person... Compared to Mud Rock and the others, this guy's madness is really a bit too much."
Expressing her concerns, Frost Star expressed her views on the new "partner" without reservation.
Even from the perspective of the Sarkaz, the woman named W was a little too crazy. Compared with her, ordinary Sarkaz mercenaries were just good kids.
After all, no normal person would hang so many bombs on his body, the kind that could explode at any time.
"If that doesn't work, let her go. I always feel uneasy with her here."
"Don't worry. If something goes wrong, I'll deal with it right away. Don't worry, I won't joke about this kind of thing."
After comforting Froststar, Talulah stood up and said, "Besides, we spent money to hire them. We have to wait for them to show their usefulness, right?"
"It would be such a shame to just throw it away like that."
Tallulah grinned and smiled slightly.
Hearing Tallulah's extremely awkward words, Frost Star instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't blame Tallulah.
W's arrival obviously had other intentions, and the two of them were just in a mutually beneficial relationship. If it were me, I would probably do the same.
But the one who said this was Tallulah, the one who was willing to do anything for the infected people. Now she seemed a little strange.
Tallulah...when did she start to change?
Was it after she left?
Squinting his eyes, Frost Star looked at the flickering flames in front of him, and his expression suddenly became dazed.
It seemed that since she left, Tallulah had gradually become taciturn, from her previous enthusiasm to now only greeting a few of their leaders.
He became more indifferent and began to put interests first. His former friends left and disappeared. He became a qualified leader, putting the interests of the team first in everything.
For the entire group of infected people, Tallulah's transformation is beneficial, abandoning unnecessary mercy and bringing more chances of survival to others.
This is the qualified leader in the eyes of everyone.
But to Frost Star, Tallulah's changes were extremely abrupt, as if she was forcing herself to change, going against her own heart and moving towards her goal.
