Chapter 404 Gerald Extra (Part 2)
It was like the earthquake that seemed to devour all lives twenty years ago, but inexplicably disappeared in the end.
It was like their daughter disappeared at a banquet, but she returned home with her lover.
It was also like this moment, the young man who had only met once twenty years ago appeared again twenty years later, but the changes of time did not leave any traces on him. It
seemed as if his time had stopped, freezing him in the appearance of twenty years ago.
The Bai couple looked at each other, and both of them revealed the same meaning in their eyes.
Is there really such a thing as "fate" in this world?
Otherwise, they could not explain why the man who saved Bai Yao's life when she was still a baby became the closest person to her after Bai Yao grew up.
It was a magical feeling that was hard to explain, as if it was destined by fate. Their meeting twenty years ago was definitely not just a coincidence.
The name "Gerald" may not be well known to young people nowadays, but the Bai couple remembered it very well.
Twenty years ago, the name of the brave man spread throughout the empire. It was said that he sacrificed himself to save the world.
The Bai couple looked strange and tangled. They couldn't make up their minds for a while whether to stop their daughter from dating the brave man who had come back from the dead in the legend.
Until Bai Yao suddenly covered her mouth and vomited a few times, she leaned in Gerald's arms and said softly: "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, and I feel that I have gained a few pounds. Have I eaten too much recently?"
Bai's father and mother: "!?"
To Gerald's surprise, he did not receive too much criticism in front of his future parents-in-law. They did not even ask him whether he had a stable job or enough property. They were eagerly preparing for Bai Yao and his wedding.
That night, when Bai Yao sneaked into his room and held him to sleep, he asked a question: "Why don't Yaoyao's parents dislike me?"
Bai Yao blinked cunningly, "Of course it's because Gerald is the person I like. The person I like must be the best person in the world, so of course no one would dislike him!"
Gerald was so fascinated by this sentence that he forgot how Bai Yao tricked him into doing something wrong on the bed that night. The only thing he remembered was that she had inexplicably developed a new way to play. The next day, he
slept until noon and almost fell down when he got out of bed because his legs were so weak.
According to the custom of that era, Bai Yao got married, and her parents gave her part of the property and a house on the best street in the area, but Bai Yao and Gerald did not live there for long.
They returned to the Silent Forest.
Bai Yao and Gerald walked hand in hand on the forest path. She walked briskly and said with a smile: "We can plant a strawberry field in front of the cabin. You will be responsible for watering and fertilizing, and I will be responsible for picking strawberries."
Gerald's eyes sparkled, "Planting strawberries... Great!"
He was wearing a new set of clothes today, a simple style popular among young people nowadays, with a blue and white inner shirt and robe, which made him look tall and straight, refreshing and bright.
There was a small flower embroidered on the corner of his clothes, inconspicuous, but it was there.
He was full of vigor, vitality, and dazzling.
Who could have thought that he had been imprisoned alone in the dark for twenty years?
After all, there was no gloomy air about him.
Bai Yao hugged his arms and pressed against him. He looked at her with his eyes downcast, but she didn't say anything, just stared at him with her eyes bent.
Gerald's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help but leaned down and kissed her.
They were probably both a little bit abnormal. Obviously, the other party hadn't done anything extra, but the moment their eyes met, they had a desire for intimacy.
Yaoyao once said: "Are you stupid? We are husband and wife, partners, and lovers. We can kiss each other whenever we want, without any reason."
So he gradually learned to indulge his desires.
He is no longer the puppet who lived in lies 20 years ago. He is not the "brave man" that everyone expects. He is not noble either. He can wantonly abandon self-discipline and self-control.
Because many days and nights, the girl he loves will hug him, stroke his soft golden hair, and tell him with a smile, "Gerald, do whatever you want."
He does not need to be trapped in any annoying false identity to waste his life. If he wants to eat tarts, they will eat tarts together. If he wants strawberry cake, they will make strawberry cake together.
Even sometimes when the two of them were just staying quietly in the room, Bai Yao was lying on the bed reading a book titled "About the Contract I Signed with a Horrible Thing after I Fell into an Alien World", the man who had lost interest in the Rubik's Cube came over and whispered in her ear: "Yaoyao, I want it."
She would immediately throw the book away, turn her head to look at him, lift his chin, narrow her eyes, and say evilly and arrogantly: "What a troublesome little goblin."
Then, she pounced on him, "Let me satisfy you!"
As for the novel with a too long name, Bai Yao didn't know where she threw it afterwards.
A wolf-like man suddenly rushed out of the forest. He shouted, "Help!"
Before he could utter a word, a black shadow quickly approached him along the ground and grabbed his neck fiercely and urgently. He grabbed his neck in pain and could not make any sound.
Gerald ended the kiss with his wife. He held his wife with one hand and raised his face slightly. The warm spring in his green eyes was gone. Dark gloom spread in them, like cold lake water.
It was a middle-aged man with blond hair. He was dressed gorgeously and his accessories were very valuable.
To be fair, he looked good, but there was too much arrogance in his eyebrows and eyes. Now he was shrouded by the shadow of death, and there was only a distorted expression on his face.
Bai Yao heard the noise and wanted to turn back, but her husband chuckled and kissed her cheek, "Yaoyao, I want to go home quickly."
Bai Yao smiled, "Well, let's go back!"
She held his hand and pulled him forward quickly.
The man who was clamped in place by the shadow watched the young couple go away, his eyes fixed on the back of the man with blond hair, his eyes changed several times.
Obviously, he had guessed the identity of the young man.
However, there was a trace of regret in his eyes due to the pain brought by death, but no one would give him the time and opportunity to explain.
Before he died, the last thing he thought of was only one thing - he should not have set foot in the Silent Forest.
Bai Yao and Gerald returned to the Silent Forest. When they heard that they were married, the residents all ran out to watch the excitement.
Langdon jumped up and down with a bruised face, "Is there a gift! Is there a gift!"
Bai Yao smiled, "Of course there is!"
As she said that, in the stunned eyes of everyone, she approached Gerald, and then slowly sank in. Perhaps there were too many things and she couldn't find what she wanted at once. Bai Yao tiptoed and got most of her body in.
Gerald held Bai Yao's waist to prevent her from falling completely into his black hole-like body.
After a long time, Bai Yao took out a big bag of candy, "This is the custom in our hometown, please eat wedding candy!"
The children gathered around happily.
Anna stood aside with an umbrella, "tsk", "a bunch of little brats."
"Anna!" Langdon ran over with two panda eyes, holding a handful of candy, "You like it! I snatched it all for you!"
Anna glanced at Langdon, and picked up a candy with noble and cold eyes.
Langdon grinned, revealing the fact that he was missing a tooth, but he didn't realize how funny he was. He shouted, "Anna, what else do you like? I'll get it for you!"
Anna muttered, "Why didn't I realize you were so stupid when I brought you back before?"
Bai Yao also brought gifts for other residents. She handed them to them one by one with a smile on her face, thanking everyone for their help to her and Gerald.
At this time, the characteristics of the woman working outside and the man working inside were exposed. Gerald only knew to stand beside Bai Yao. When she asked him to smile, he smiled. When she asked him to say hello, he said hello.
Even to Garm, Gerald smiled and gave him a bone.
Garm looked at Gerald's smile, and the hair on his body stood up.
All the flowers of the water plants on the Dingles fell to the ground.
Only the little centaurs who were born not long ago were fearless and dared to give an innocent smile.
They thought that Bai Yao must not know how many boring things the black shadow that slipped out of the gap in the stone gate did before she came to the forest.
It was just like Bai Yao didn't know that Gerald had killed the outsider with his shadow not long ago.
But did she really not know?
That outsider, the king of the empire, why would he come to the Silent Forest?
Thinking further back, when the earthquake occurred, all the magic stones outside had become ineffective, and the Silent Forest could not reveal any new magic stones.
Then, someone suddenly sold the Philosopher's Stone in the Empire Market, which attracted the attention of the royal family and lured the king to the Forest of Silence. Who was responsible for this?
After Bai Yao distributed the gifts, she turned around and smiled at her husband: "Okay, Gerald, shall we go home?"
Gerald knew who the answer to the question was without asking.
The hand he stretched out was held by the girl before it reached the air.
Gerald's eyes curved under his golden hair, and her reflection fell into his rippling blue eyes. He raised the corners of his lips, said "um" softly, and then said -
