In Ash's suitcase, there were several beautifully wrapped gift boxes.
Annan took them out and soon realized that they were gifts for other people - the black box with a skull was for Harvey, the azure box was for Panji, the gold box with silver edges was for Igulla, and the box with purple ribbon was undoubtedly hers.
Where's Liz's gift?
When An Nan opened the gifts, she knew why Liz was not included.
"Harvey, you will be digging graves and burying people frequently in the future, so you will definitely not have time to bask in the sun. Therefore, I think this 'Blazing Anklet' is very suitable for you. It can not only allow you to bask in the sun to prevent osteoporosis, but also serve as a searchlight to help you illuminate when digging graves. It also matches the Ghost King shackles on your hands very well. Doesn't it look good?"
An Nan looked at the anklet in the box. Although she didn't think it was good according to her taste, Harvey's taste was always different from that of ordinary people, so he might like this gift.
"Banji, I don't know what to give you. After all, you are very good at taking care of people. You have already bought whatever you want. So I went to the store and made dolls of us. You can put these dolls in the game room in the future, and just think of us playing old games with you. Next time, I will definitely beat you in "Magic Duel 14"!"
An Nan took a look at the six dolls in the gift box. Although the dolls were all cute dolls with big eyes, the exterior decorations made it clear who was who: Panji's blue hair and butler uniform, Igula's blonde hair and cheongsam, Harvey's black skin and ghost king shackles, Liz's white hair, An Nan's purple clothes and amethyst earrings, and Ash's dark red windbreaker and twisted mask.
To be honest, this gift was a bad one. After all, Panji is over 60 years old. How could he still like dolls? But now that Panji has turned back into a baby, this gift is just right for his age. Ash really got the gift right by accident.
"Igula, I didn't forget to return the favor! You gave me the mask, and I've always remembered it! But I still can't figure out what you like, and I can't give you a bathtub... I remembered you said that you actually hate society the most, and what you want to do most is to go on adventures in mysterious ruins. You can say that you are completely opposite to me. I like to lie around in society and do nothing, and I hate going on adventures the most. So I'll give you a 'Team Up Ticket'. If you really find the mysterious ruins and don't have any friends, then find me to team up with."
An Nan picked up the light paper and saw a line of crooked words on it (he was a magician but couldn't even write properly)——
"Team Ticket: To invite Ash to a team, you need to notify him 30 working days in advance. It can only be used once."
This should be the most perfunctory and careless gift, but An Nan feels that Igula will definitely be very satisfied.
There was only one gift box left. An Nan tore open the purple ribbon and suddenly felt a little nervous.
Then, she saw a... amethyst earring inside.
"Miss, although I really want to buy an authentic Mager crystal stone, it is too expensive and there is no channel to buy it, so I can only buy a pair of earrings that look similar."
"When you receive this gift, it means that I should have already run away with Liz. Although the contract period has not yet expired, I hope you don't look for me to go back."
"The relationship between us is so strange. We are slaves and slave owners forced to be together, comrades-in-arms and friends who share hardships, and we almost became lovers... If I stay, I will definitely be conquered by you. I never doubt my willpower."
"So I have to leave. Although I won't take revenge on you for being dominated by you, I won't allow myself to succumb to you. I'm not a kitten or a puppy that will be tamed after being kidnapped and raised for a few days. Not to mention that this experience is a thorn that will always remind me that my encounter with you was full of calculations and exploitation."
"Moreover, how much of your feelings for me are the result of your fear of facing the crisis of death, and how much are the peace of mind and dependence that comes from your complete control over me?"
"It would be easy for you to find me, but I am determined to end this unequal relationship. So, if you want to see me, I hope you can find a sunny afternoon after the contract ends, appear in front of me and say to me—"
"'Nice to meet you. I'm Annan Dolan.'"
Although he had finished reading the note, An Nan's eyes were still focused on the last period, as if the letter was not over yet.
No wonder Liz had no presents.
Because this was Ash's farewell gift to everyone, he had planned to take Liz away after the event even before he took action.
An Nan folded the letter and put it away, then picked up the earrings in the gift box and couldn't help laughing - you call this almost the same? There was too much difference, her original earrings were sparkling, clear and bright, while the pirated earrings that Ash bought were dark and turbid, and they were obviously cheap.
She shook her head helplessly and put the cheap earring on the other earlobe.
…
An Nan finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.
It's Liz.
Liz was standing outside the door in her nightgown. She seemed a little hesitant, but she finally made up her mind and said, "Can I sleep with you?"
An Nan was a little surprised, but immediately replied: "Of course."
She paused and said, "But you have to call me Sister An Nan."
"No problem, An Nan...sister."
Looking at Liz's uneasy look, An Nan realized that Queen Flute was still a little girl.
Perhaps it was her relaxed demeanor in the palace during the day that led An Nan to misunderstand her, and An Nan thought she would recover quickly from the separation. But now it seems that she just doesn't want to show her emotions in front of outsiders.
Honestly speaking, Annan and Liz's relationship was by no means good. Annan seldom spoke to Liz, but now she was the only one Liz could find solace in - because they were both left behind with the same suffering.
An Nan and Liz were sleeping in bed, and Liz suddenly asked, "Can we read a fairy tale picture book?"
"Okay...but I have a better option."
An Nan picked up Ban Ji's notebook, let Liz rest her head on her chest, and said, "Ban Ji has been writing novels for a long time, but he has never published them. I have always been curious about what he is writing. Let's read it together."
"good!"
An Nan opened the first page of the notebook and was immediately stunned.
It was not until Liz urged her that she suppressed her laughter and said, "A long time ago, there was a young man named Panji. The power of chaos was hidden in his blood, so he had been cursed by the virtual world. He had two pistols, one was called Light Judgment, and the other was called Dark Judgment. He was going to embark on a rebellious path against the whole world. In the process, he met the fate wizard Wenna, and challenged the infinite future together with this handsome girl in a windbreaker..."
…
An Nan stopped reading. She looked at Liz's sleeping face and gently covered the queen with a blanket.
The queen who dominates the gospel is actually a little girl who has to listen to bedtime stories before going to bed. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
The old era is coming to an end, An Nan thought.
She went out to check on Xiao Banji and confirmed that the latter was sleeping soundly, so Zi Fei Moth returned to ** with peace of mind.
Passing through the door of truth, the soul connects to the virtual world and sets foot on the continent of time.
However, when An Nan opened his eyes and saw the golden rain flowing against the current, he heard two screams coming from the sky.
The purple moth raised its head and saw two girls crossing each other with the countercurrent of golden rain. They held hands and each spread out a silver wing, like a pair of falling lovebirds, falling from the sky.
A new era is about to begin, she thought.
