"Hello--"
"Ni... Hao~?"
"Oh no, no, your pronunciation is completely wrong."
A woman from Great Xia was correcting a middle-aged Eluo Nation man in front of her, but she seemed to be running out of patience.
"Неучиться, неучиться, китайскийслишкомсложно!" (I'm not studying anymore, I'm not studying anymore, Chinese is too difficult!)
The middle-aged man waved his hand, indicating he didn't want to continue learning.
The woman sighed helplessly, "I'm really at a loss with you. Why can you understand Chinese but not speak it?"
The middle-aged man shrugged. "Я не знаю, но все равно учиться не буду." (How should I know? I just can't seem to learn it.)
The woman shook her head, looked at the white-haired girl beside her, and said with a kind expression, "Our daughter Hela is the smartest; she speaks both Chinese and Russian."
The middle-aged man puffed out his chest, a proud look on his face, "Конечно, не смотря, чья это дочь." (Of course, look who her daughter is.)
This made Hela blush, and she lowered her head shyly.
"It's all thanks to my parents for teaching me so well."
Then a large hand landed on Hela's head and gently stroked it.
"Ничего, даже если янеговорюпокитайски,ямогу защитить вас обоих в Eluo Nation, мать и дочь." (It's alright, even if I don't speak Chinese, I can still protect you and your daughter in Russia.)
Hela nodded gently, feeling her father's touch; his hand was large and warm.
But... this is the last time.
A sudden car accident shattered this once warm and loving family.
Bang--
The operating room door was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat came out.
Hela, who speaks Russian, quickly stepped forward to inquire about her father's condition.
"Здравствуйте, как мой отец?" (Hello, how is my father?)
Hela's mother, holding Hela's small, fair hand, looked at the doctor with equal anxiety.
The doctor removed his mask and shook his head apologetically.
"Извините, мы не смогли спасти мистера Йегеля." (I'm sorry, we couldn't save Mr. Yegel. Jaeger.)
Their hearts sank into an icy abyss, and Hela's mother collapsed to the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
Through the crack in the door, Hela saw her father lying on the hospital bed, saying goodbye to her forever.
"Dad!" Hela suddenly sat up in bed.
He was panting heavily, looking completely shaken.
"Huh?" The next moment, her terrified face returned to its previous blank expression.
"Who is Dad...? Where did these memories come from?"
A tear rolled down Hela's cheek; she wiped it away with her hand and placed it in front of her.
Why am I crying...?
Hela felt somewhat surprised.
"What's wrong, Hela? Did you have a nightmare?"
Xing Lan, who was wearing pajamas, was awakened by Hela, who looked at her with concern.
"Hmm." Hela nodded slightly; for her, this dream was indeed a nightmare.
Then she remembered that everyone had gone to sleep after dinner the night before.
I wanted to try what it felt like to fall asleep, so I did what Xing Lan did and fell asleep.
But judging from the results... I think I shouldn't sleep anymore.
" Hela, don't be afraid, your sister is here, you'll be safe."
Xing Lan tenderly wiped away the remaining tears from Hela's eyes and then gently hugged her.
"Okay, you're not sad anymore, are you?"
"I'm not sad anymore." Hela, wearing Patrick Star pajamas, shook her head.
Xing Lan was relieved. "That's good. If there's nothing else, let's get up. It's time to get up and train!"
As she spoke, she took off Stitch's pajamas and changed into her usual clothes.
Hela also changed out of her pajamas and followed Xing Lan out for training.
When they reached the door, Xing Lan suddenly stopped, turned to look at Hela, and smiled.
"I feel like you've recovered a lot. Before, you seemed emotionless, but now you're having nightmares and feeling sad."
Hela tilted her head.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's go, let's go to training!"
He opened the door and pulled Hela along, preparing to head to the training room.
However, he was getting more and more excited. Hela was almost back to normal. Once she regained her memories and became a big shot, the day when she would be given a cheat code to become the pinnacle of the world would be just around the corner!
But in reality, Hela still has no emotions. Although she can understand human emotions and desires, she herself has no emotions except for the occasional inexplicable feelings.
As soon as they stepped out of the dormitory, the two saw a large truck parked in front of the barbershop.
" Lalamove?" Xing Lan looked at the worker who opened the car door to unload the goods and Ye Yiqing standing next to him with a puzzled expression.
The other person noticed Xing Lan and explained with a smile, "I'm bringing over some things from my old house."
"No need, your boys' dorms basically have everything, and besides, you don't need your personal belongings..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xing Lan was startled by what was inside the truck.
The entire truck was filled with knives of Xiaoxiao, including samurai swords, Tang swords, Japanese swords, machetes, hunting knives, and all sorts of oddly shaped knives.
Wow! Where did you get so many knives?!
Xing Lan, her face beaming with excitement, carefully picked up a katana. Looking at its cool decorations and the unique runes on the blade, her eyes lit up again.
"If you like, you can pick one. Except for some more important ones, I can give you anything."
"Really!" Xing Lan turned to look at Ye Yiqing excitedly.
Ye Yiqing nodded gently.
"That's so kind of you! Thank you!"
Xing Lan put down her katana and began carefully selecting a sword, but she moved very gently, afraid of breaking Ye Yiqing's sword.
"Boss, that won't do. You're making me wait a long time."
A Lalamove employee walked up to Ye Yiqing with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, please wait a little longer."
As he spoke, he handed several red bills to the other party.
Upon seeing the red bills in his hand, the employee immediately beamed, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"
"Hey, what kind of knife is this? It looks like a utility knife." Xing Lan pulled out a long knife from among the many knives, which closely resembled a utility knife.
There's also something like a trigger on the handle.
"Well, I don't know its specific use, but I've heard that this knife is very good at cutting soft things, like the back of the neck of certain creatures."
Xing Lan nodded slightly and jumped down from the cargo bed. "I think you should unload all the knives first. I'll choose the knives later."
"Okay, sure." Ye Yiqing nodded and started asking the Lalamove staff to help him move the knife down.
Before long, all the knives were moved down and placed Star Barbershop.
"Alright, now we just need to move these into the dorm."
Ye Yiqing rolled up his sleeves and picked up the knife and its holder.
"I'll help!" Xing Lan volunteered to lend a hand to Ye Yiqing.
"I'll help too." Before Ye Yiqing could refuse, Hela also chimed in.
"Okay, then be careful not to hurt yourself."
