Chapter 424: A Goal to Pursue
Chapter 424: A Goal to Pursue
Lod walked in with light steps and looked around at the familiar setting.
He walked out of this broken hut and then walked step by step to where he was today.
Since the establishment of Soul Society, many things came one after another, which suddenly made him flustered. He had not come back to see it for a long time. Basically, only Nemu would occasionally come back to clean and tidy up after he was free.
Although the furnishings of the house were very simple and not as prosperous as Soul King Palace.
However, it gave him a kind of inexplicable peace of mind. It was like a traveler who finally returned home after traveling for several years. Naturally, he could get rid of the exhaustion all over his body and just wanted to lie on the sofa and have a good rest.
Da ---
At this time, a petite figure ran out from the kitchen on the side of the hall.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The person who ran out was Nemu.
Nemu was wearing a black, fluffy Princess dress. She was wearing black cotton socks, revealing half of her fair and white calves. Her small face was stained with black smoke. It was obvious that she had been choked by the smoke in the kitchen. She was desperately rubbing her red eyes.
As if she had sensed the presence of an outsider, Nemu suddenly raised her head and looked at her. Two sharp eyes suddenly shot out from her black and round eyes. Spiritual Power, who was in her body, was like a surging wave, as if she was about to gush out in the next second.
When she saw that it was Lod, the agitated Spiritual Power instantly dispersed.
Instead, Nemu\'s eyes gradually became moist, and her cheeks bulged. Her big black eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness and grievance.
"Brother... Brother!"
Nemu cried out with tears. She could not wait to rush over. Her two arms were like a koala bear, hanging her whole body on Lod. Then, she buried her head in her arms and cried.
"I\'m back, Nemu."
Lod hugged the crying Nemu in his arms.
He gently rubbed her black hair and felt a little upset. "It\'s all my fault. I ignored your feelings during this time."
"Woo..."
Nemu raised her head and looked at Lod with tears in her eyes. She said, "Then... then brother, you have to promise me that no matter where you go in the future, you have to take me with you, okay?"
"I was wrong this time ---"
Hearing Nemu\'s request, Lod\'s heart softened. He said softly, "I will definitely bring you with me next time, okay?"
During this period of time, he had been busy with serious business, but he had neglected Nemu\'s feelings.
Now that he thought about it carefully, letting Nemu stay alone in that cold laboratory, and not seeing him for a long time, it was easy to imagine how much grievances he felt.
In order to make up for it, Lod also promised all kinds of conditions.
For example, taking her to the amusement park, eating hamburgers, buying clothes, and other conditions made Nemu laugh through her tears. She also wiped the snot that flowed out on his dead tyrant suit.
If Kisuke Urahara saw this scene, his jaw would probably hit the ground in surprise.
In the entire Three Realms, only Nemu dared to wipe her nose on the Soul King\'s clothes.
In fact, Lod did not care about these small things.
Not to mention wiping his snot on his clothes, even if he wiped it on his body, he would not blame Nemu at all.
Because among all creations, Nemu was not only the first to be born, but also the most special to him. Lod never regarded her as a tool, but always regarded her as his sister.
So why would his brother blame his lovely sister for such a small matter?
Nemu raised her head, pinched her fingers and whispered, "Brother, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
Speaking of which...
He had not seen Nemu for a long time.
Even sitting with her for a meal seemed to have been a long time ago.
"Okay, okay, okay ---"
Lod rubbed Nemu\'s black hair and revealed a doting gaze. He smiled and said, "I haven\'t cooked for a long time. I don\'t know if you\'ve regressed. Sit and watch TV for a while. I\'ll cook for you right now."
"Yay! I love you the most, brother!"
Nemu cheered happily and kissed Lod on the cheek. Then, she bounced onto the sofa and clicked on her favorite program.
Lod smiled and shook his head. He put on the apron and walked into the kitchen.
The cold oil entered the pot. When the oil temperature was 80 hot, the ribs were heated. In turn, the wine would whip the old vinegar and blow it to the cool golden color. After pouring water and adding three spoons of white sugar, the small fire would boil and boil for ten minutes. After that, the big fire would collect the juice and sprinkle a spoonful of fragrant vinegar to stimulate the smell. In front of the pot, he sprinkled some green onions and sesame seeds.
After a series of operations, the sweet and sour ribs came out of the pot, and the aroma instantly overflowed.
Grumble...
Nemu smelled it and the greedy bug in her stomach was lured out. She couldn\'t help but lean outside the kitchen door. She looked at the plate of red and hot ribs with envy. She swallowed her saliva and asked, "Brother... let me taste a piece, okay?"
As he spoke, Nemu reached out to grab the ribs.
Pa ---
"it\'s not done yet."
Lod flicked Nemu\'s head and smiled. "Also, little glutton, did you forget to wash your hands before eating?"
"Oh, I know!"
Without stealing the ribs, Nemu pouted angrily, shook his arms and reluctantly ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.
"Ha ha ha..."
Lod laughed loudly and then went to prepare the second dish.
We haven\'t eaten together for a long time. How can we only prepare one sweet and sour pork ribs? It should at least be three meat dishes, three vegetable and one soup!
Chi La ---
The hot oil was cooked and the fireworks rose.
The sun was setting outside and all the dishes were finally ready.
The fragrance of the whole house was overflowing, and the rich smell made Nemu, who was hanging outside the door, anxious and anxious, and she wanted to rush in quickly.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised lion head, shredded sweet potato, cold mixed three threads, mushroom oil vegetables, fried crispy meat, steamed bass fish, and... a plate of pork and onion filling dumplings.
"Wow, it\'s so rich!"
Nemu\'s eyes were almost staring straight, and the saliva on her mouth kept flowing down. She said blankly, "Brother, what day is it today? Why are there so many dishes?"
"Today is my birthday."
Lod smiled and rubbed Nemu\'s hair. He smiled and said, "When I was celebrating my birthday, I always had a plate of pork and green onion dumplings. Now if I want to eat them again... I can only make them myself."
Although his tone seemed calm, Nemu could still hear the lingering sadness in it.
"Brother, happy birthday!"
Nemu held Lod\'s face with both hands and smiled cutely. "Nemu will learn how to make dumplings and make them for you every year, okay, brother?"
"Okay ---"
Lod pinched the little girl\'s nose and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, or the dishes will get cold later."
"Yes!"
Nemu couldn\'t wait to eat and wolfed down the dishes in front of her.
Lod looked at the warm scene in front of him and felt that there was an invisible hand that calmed the restlessness in the depths of his heart.
Nemu reminded him of something...
No matter if he was a Soul King in the future or any powerful existence, what he pursued should not be to surpass everything, but to be able to protect everything he wanted to protect. This was what he truly wanted to pursue!
