Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 315

“I know,” she said, seemingly the first time she had smiled since arriving here, “it’s just that you’re more capable than I thought.”

......

Gaining Jiang Feng's approval is no easy feat, and Luo Fan will surely be pleased about it.

"I'm stronger than you think."

Somehow, although I dealt with a rather rude and presumptuous person tonight, but...

I'm in a surprisingly good mood...

Perhaps it was because she was by his side that Luo Fan realized,

This house is not as big as he imagined...

466 visitors

It's almost time. Shina and the others should be getting close by now, right?

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to pick up a few guests."

After settling Jiang Feng in the living room, Luo Fan prepared to leave.

"Come back soon." Even though it might not take long, Jiang Feng still said it habitually.

"Hey, I'm not going on a business trip, I'll be back in a minute, don't worry, I promised to sleep on the sofa with you, so I'll definitely be here."

"Ah."

She felt relieved and picked up the phone Luo Fan had given her to start using it.

Despite her young appearance, the world is still like one that an elderly person needs to slowly accept, understand, and learn about.

Luo Fan also had to act like a good son. For the newcomers who couldn't accept documents like the girls, Luo Fan had to explain things to them slowly and clearly, and also help them adapt to the comfortable living environment here, even though it was quite strange that they needed to adapt to a more comfortable environment.

Just like PTSD patients who need to readjust to daily life, even if they might mistake a bursting balloon for gunfire, the girls have adapted quite well now.

Jiang Feng, a man who has been shrouded in the shadow of war for many years, doesn't know if she can adapt well to life here, but he is willing to accompany her through it all until she can face life with a smile like Mrs. Grey and the others, and this is just the beginning.

As he walked, daydreaming about the future, Luo Fan unknowingly returned to the front of the bar.

A black minivan was already parked at the entrance, and Luo Fan saw that familiar face in the driver's seat.

Even though it was night, Shina was still wearing sunglasses and made a gesture towards Luo Fan as if she were trying to look cool.

Luo Fan nodded slightly in response, but since his clothes were still rather thin, he didn't want to stay outside for too long.

After parking the vehicle, you can see that Shina got out of the car first and slowly helped Negitia out of the car.

They were being extremely careful, afraid she might trip and fall. Judging by her build, she would probably be in serious trouble.

When they weren't at the theater, they changed into their everyday clothes. Perhaps to avoid being recognized, they didn't add too many dark gold stripes or related elements to their coats this time.

Nevertheless, black and beige are still just right for them, who are already beautiful, understated yet not vulgar.

However, Nekitiya was not the only passenger on the train this time; a long-haired woman was also with her.

During the performance, Luo Fan saw her; she was the cellist in the orchestra, and her demeanor during the performance was exactly like Shi Na's—completely focused and enjoying herself.

Luo Fan leaned against the door, waiting for them to walk over from across the street.

With Shina's support, Nekitia managed to keep her steps steady. Although she was blind, she always managed to stop before Shina could remind her when a vehicle passed by.

Perhaps, as she said, she can hear everything around her and act accordingly to avoid harm and seek benefit...

When the traffic light turned red and no vehicles were expected to pass by, the two of them quickened their pace, wearing Negitia, and arrived at the bar as fast as possible.

"Well, we're here. Is the room ready?"

Se-na was very enthusiastic; perhaps she would react the same way when a playful child comes to a children's playground.

Luo Fan nodded and pointed upwards: "Yes, I tidied up the attic. It's quite clean and spacious enough for you to put your musical instruments and such."

"Thanks a lot then~"

Then, Shina put her hands into her coat pockets and jogged into the bar.

Then came Nekitiya and another woman supporting her.

"Good evening, Mr. Luo. I apologize for the inconvenience and trouble you. I hope you will continue to guide me in the future."

The other person bowed slightly to Luo Fan, which surprised Luo Fan greatly, as he was far inferior to the other person in terms of status and reputation.

"Hey, no need for that. Just relax and make yourself at home. After all, we're friends now, right?"

He said this because he could easily imagine that the other person might be quite reserved here. Nekitiya was not as open as Sena, and he was afraid that she would rarely come out of the attic because she was not good at speaking.

For blind people and musicians, experiencing the outside world is still very important.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness. Let me introduce you to one of my assistants, who is also the orchestra's cellist leader, Carmen."

"Hi, Mr. Luo, we may be spending a long time together, please take care of me in the future."

The black-haired woman, whom they were meeting for the first time, greeted Lovan as introduced by Negitia. Her personality was mostly similar to that of Shina; she was easy to talk to and open-minded.

It's probably easy to understand why the commanders-in-chief are usually quite particular, so they tend to be very reserved in unfamiliar environments.

"Well, please give me some advice."

Lovan responded politely, then opened the door and, together with Carmen, slowly helped Negitia inside.

"Watch out, the stairs..."

Carmen also took great care of Nekitija, reminding her of almost every step she took, almost carrying her up the stairs.

Forget it, I'll just memorize it; that might be easier...

Luo Fan bent down and casually said, "Come on up, I'll carry Miss Negitia up."

Carmen was taken aback at first, then covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh~ Mr. Luo is quite a gentleman, much better than some of the scoundrels in the theater."

...So it turns out that the band members also harbored considerable dissatisfaction with some audience members?

Luo Fan shrugged: "Come on, let me take you upstairs to rest first, it's getting late."

The white-haired girl didn't react much to Luo Fan's kindness; she simply stood behind the man for a while.

Then, she slowly lay down on his back.

"Caught it."

Then, Lovan tilted her up a bit to move Negitia up a little to prevent her from accidentally slipping down.

Although she appears to be 1.7 meters tall, she actually weighs much less than Grina...

Perhaps her health problems are not just limited to blindness, but she just hasn't realized it yet.

Walking on the first two floors was relatively normal, and Negitia held firmly onto Lofan's shoulder.

Around the third floor, Luo Fan felt something different behind him.

That was the girl's face, gently resting against his back...

467 Resettlement

Even the attic is not the highest point in this bar.

At the very top, there is still a space—the top of the bar—that is a fairly large area. If Luo Fan were willing, he could expand it further and create even more space for them to live in.

but......

"Phew...this is your bedroom. It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

At least Luo Fan believed that he had done a pretty good job of tidying up the attic. It was as clean as ever. Rather than saying that he had never piled up any clutter in the space, the furniture had been prepared long ago, and one could see the stars outside the skylight when one looked up. All that was waiting was a suitable guest.

"It's really nice. Apart from the decorations, it feels more comfortable than my bedroom in the theater."

Judging from Shina's delighted expression, she was probably satisfied with the place.

Carmen, too, walked around the various pieces of furniture, stopping and pausing occasionally to touch their surfaces. Though she remained silent, her thoughts could be gleaned from her smile.

"The air here doesn't smell of pungent expensive perfumes or cigars..."

Nekitiya turned her head to look at various corners of the attic, then looked up at the skylight.

Perhaps it was the sound that caught her attention.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo, it's really kind of you to arrange things like this."

Negidia is always particular about etiquette, which makes Lovan, who has a more easygoing personality, feel somewhat out of place.

"Uh, actually it was all arranged a long time ago. No need to thank me like that, just consider us friends..."

If possible, Luo Fan would prefer her to speak to him like Shi Na, but that would seem to affect her persona as a conductor.

To avoid further awkwardness, Luo Fan cleared his throat: "Ahem... Anyway, you can rest here. If you need anything, you can find me in the living room. I'll probably be sleeping in the living room for the next two days because someone in my bedroom is unwell..."

"Is this Miss Yingque?"

Shina immediately realized who Luo Fan was referring to, since they already had some understanding of the reverse Kabbalah factor.

"Oh, right, and this staircase leads to the roof. If there's nothing important, please don't go up there, okay?"

He pointed to a wooden staircase in the corner of the attic; just a few steps up would lead to the door.

"Yeah, we will."

"That's good. I'll go rest now. Contact me if you need anything."

After giving all his instructions, Luo Fan bowed to the three of them and then slowly closed the door.

......

That rooftop was a gift he gave to Yingque.

As Yingque's mother said, she loves lilies the most and hopes that she can grow some lilies for her in the future.

Therefore, Luo Fan personally planted a lily garden on the rooftop. It may not be as beautiful as those professionals who are skilled in architectural layout, but Luo Fan has done his best to make it as beautiful as possible.

When the flowers bloom, Que'er will be able to see them...

This was also his deepest expression of love for Yingque, and... his most sincere apology, even though she herself was unaware of it.

There's no need to know...

Even if it's deceiving myself, it doesn't matter anymore...

Every word I left for you has become a lie...

Therefore, there's no need to say more...

......

When she returned to the living room, she saw Jiang Feng sitting blankly on the sofa, seemingly uninterested in the phone.

"Sigh, you're back."

Luo Fan plopped down next to her and then crossed his legs.

Who were those people just now?

Not long after he sat down, Jiang Feng turned over and asked.

......

“The guest will be staying here for a while,” Luo Fan said, scratching his head.

That seems reasonable, right?

He was indeed a guest, and he was indeed going to stay for a while, but he didn't know what would happen after that.

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, then snuggled into Luo Fan's arms: "Okay."

It seemed to be just a fleeting concern; after a short while, Jiang Feng returned to the state where only Luo Fan was in his eyes.

“It’s nothing to worry about.” Luo Fan stroked Jiang Feng’s white hair and fox ears, and she responded with a lively tremor.

"Just treat them like normal guests, and leave the rest to me."

There's no need for Jiang Feng to deal with things personally unless it's absolutely necessary; she can simply be herself.

Luo Fan also knew that she was not the kind of person who would readily cater to others, but she would be completely obedient and responsive to the requests of those she loved.

Letting them do what they want has always been Luo Fan's wish.

Nothing has changed from the past to the present, and it will remain so in the future...
