at the same time.
Inside the shrine on the other side.
Shuishen Xiaoye sat alone at the dining table in the living room, with only a lone cup of instant noodles on the large table in front of her.
The noodles in the cup were almost mushy from being soaked.
She remained seated there blankly, showing no sign of touching her chopsticks. Just then, her mother, who was far away overseas, sent her a message.
[To my dearest daughter, aren't you lonely staying home alone? If you are, don't force yourself. Mom will finish her trip abroad and come back to be with you as soon as possible.]
It's okay, everything's fine here.
【Really?】
【Um.】
[That's good. But thinking about it, right now I'd probably prefer Mom not to be around, wouldn't I? Oh ho ho, the picture of Mr. Lorraine you sent me last time was so handsome! Mom was blown away! Where did you find such a boy?]
When I saw my mother, I mentioned Lorraine.
Water Goddess Xiaoye was instantly overcome with another wave of heart-wrenching grief.
【he……】
[Mom won't interfere with your love life. For a girl, first love is always the most beautiful time of her life. Mr. Lorraine's smile is really handsome, and it makes you feel inexplicably at ease. Ah, Mom can't wait to come back and see her daughter's first love! So exciting!]
[...]
You need to get along well with them, and, cough cough, safety measures are also necessary...
【Mother!】
[Haha, okay, okay, this old auntie won't say any more. Now, the burden of being the shrine's heir is finally lifted off Mom's shoulders. That's great! Let's get married after graduation!]
"Mom, that's enough."
[For girls, youth is an advantage. Getting married early and securing a good man means you won't be snatched away by other women in the future.]
Now is not the time to talk about these things.
Haha, she's even blushing.
No, not at all.
It's getting late, you should get some rest. Mom will bring you some foreign specialties when she comes back; the shipping costs are really expensive.
It doesn't matter, it's just that kind of thing.
【How can you not care? Mom will bring you souvenirs from abroad, and you'll bring Mom souvenirs from China. You'll surprise each other! Isn't that wonderful?】
【What domestic specialty products? I don't have any...】
Mom will be looking forward to... the gift you give her then. Mom will cherish it.
【ah???】
That concludes the cross-border chat.
Put down your phone.
Normally, she would definitely interpret her mother's words in a negative light and start overthinking.
But now...
Water Goddess Xiaoye turned her head to look at the empty living room. For some reason, for the first time in her life, she felt that her living room was so cold and empty, making her feel lonely and sad.
The refrigerator was still full of food, all of which Lorraine had bought recently, saying she wanted to make her a fancy hot pot.
But what about now?
No one uses the kitchen anymore.
The underground workshop, which used to be filled with the clanging and crackling of electricity, is now dark and silent.
——
I looked back at the instant noodles on the table.
Water Goddess Xiaoye ultimately didn't eat a single bite before throwing it into the trash can. Her eyes were red, and compared to the dishes Lorraine had personally prepared for her, this stuff was simply unpalatable.
——
After taking a shower.
She opened the door to Lorraine's room in a daze, then crawled into Lorraine's bedding, lay down on the cold, hard bed, and stared at the familiar ceiling.
"I wonder how Lorraine is doing now?"
"So, I'm just too weak after all?"
"If I were powerful enough, this situation would definitely not happen again, right?"
At that time.
The last look Lorraine gave them before being led into the portal still fills the Water Goddess Xiaoye with immense sorrow.
At that moment, Lorraine looked at them.
There was no blame, no resentment, and no anger in his eyes.
some……
It was a farewell-like lingering affection and comfort, as if telling them 'Be strong, cheer up, and don't let difficulties defeat you.'
Thinking about this...
Water Goddess Xiaoye couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow again. She sat on the edge of the bed, holding her own blue heart-shaped transformation device in her hand. Looking at it, she murmured to herself, "I must become stronger. Lorraine was right. He's always right. Only by possessing true strength can I protect the most important person in my life. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk."
Countless times in the past.
While being trained by Lorraine, she would always indulge in her so-called sweet world for two.
They didn't really realize that they were doing something very important.
Now……
It wasn't until Lorraine left that she finally realized what had happened.
If only we could do it all over again.
She will definitely work harder, and this situation will never happen again.
But the problem is...
Will she get another chance?
"Lorraine, you must be safe and sound! We will come to rescue you, we promise!"
Thinking about it to the end.
Water Goddess Xiaoye tightly gripped the blue heart-shaped transformation device in her hand, vowing in her heart that she would become stronger and reclaim everything that she had lost and that belonged to her!
