Chapter 67. Rest(2/2)
It would be a pity if it was completely shattered.
"I'm trying not to let this happen to me for the last time."
Heimer suddenly felt something pulling his hair, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the little baby.
I guess she had been quiet for too long and finally couldn't sit still. Since she couldn't crawl yet, she reached out her hands to reach things she could reach.
"Haha, little guy."
It was still painful to have those little hands grabbing her hair. Heimer smiled and rubbed the little girl's cheek as compensation.
"Liana, don't disturb uncle."
Nia took the baby girl back into her arms and stopped her sister's behavior. Her sister was now running around in her arms, obviously she hadn't had enough fun.
Although Heimer didn't seem to mind, it did disturb his rest.
"Ha, anyway, we are rid of those orcs now?"
Heimer, who felt more relaxed, asked about the current situation. The carriage was still speeding on the road, and it seemed that the orcs could no longer catch up with them.
However, you still have to confirm it with the boy and the others, otherwise you won't be able to sleep peacefully.
"That's right."
The boy gave an affirmative answer.
He has indeed escaped pursuit now, but it is not time to relax yet.
Wolf-headed men are the best at tracking, so they have to run back a little further to make sure they are safe.
"Okay, then let's do it... let's all take a rest."
Heimer moved his body and found a more comfortable position to lie down. He closed his eyes and soon started snoring loudly.
"Um...are you going to sleep now?"
The girl was a little surprised. The process from when Heimer lay down and closed his eyes to hearing the snoring lasted absolutely no longer than thirty seconds.
"He is tired. When you are tired, don't you just close your eyes and fall asleep?"
The young man understood Heimer's state very well. He had also experienced the same feeling countless times.
Every time when I am exhausted to the limit of my body, even if I am just lying on the cold ground, I will lose consciousness as soon as I close my eyes without caring about the eyes of others.
"No, I haven't experienced it before. Are there times when you are so tired?"
"Yes, I think it's quite normal."
I heard the young man say this expressionlessly.
Nia covered her mouth and smiled, and then said: "It sounds like you have had this many times? Are your parents so strict?"
"I didn't..."
By the way, aren't Nia's parents already...
Thinking of this, the young man immediately changed his mind.
"Yes, they are quite serious people. I can't do it if I don't work hard."
There is no need to talk about someone's heartache, it's better to keep talking.
"Ha, is it necessary for you to work hard to this extent? Isn't it too much?"
Nia frowned, she didn't like adults who were too strict.
"It's just something I asked for. I don't have any talent, so I can only work hard to catch up with others."
The young man spread his hands. Everything he had done all along was just for himself. So he had no regrets about his hard work.
"Then do they usually care about you?"
"It's okay, I know they all care about me, although I don't like being cared about by them."
The boy's thoughts began to be led by Nia's questions to the past that he had buried deeply.
I have to say that thinking back on such a stable past in such an unstable time really makes the young man feel nostalgic.
"Hey... they always force me to learn things that I'm not good at, or that I don't like."
The young man sighed first, and then continued:
"Although I know this is for my future, I still hate planning my life according to their will."
"Then what was your final choice?"
"Occasionally...I mean occasionally, I will encounter something that is quite satisfactory to me, and then I will work hard to do it."
"What about the things you're not satisfied with?"
"After all, it was their decision... Even if I didn't like it, I still did it."
"puff!"
Nia suddenly laughed.
The girl's smile was very sunny and gave people a refreshing warmth. The boy realized that this was probably the first time he had seen a girl smile so happily.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing?"
"I feel like you are being arrogant, Verus."
"How is that possible?! And what is the word 'tsundere'?"
This is the first time a young man hears the word "tsundere" in this world. Does it actually exist?
And if he goes by his own understanding of "tsundere" in his own memory, then using this word to describe himself - it should, absolutely, must be... inappropriate!
What does a tsundere who dislikes her straight body have to do with herself?!
"Haha, okay! Don't get excited? Verus, your face is turning red."
"Yeah?"
When he said this, the young man felt a little lacking in confidence. He subconsciously touched his cheek and found that his face was indeed getting hot.
"Um...are uncle and aunt okay?"
The girl asked following the topic.
"Not sure."
"Why is it unclear?"
