Chapter 659 No Hope

There is no light in the desert night, but the moonlight is particularly bright here, coating the sand dunes in the distance with a layer of silver gauze.

Jade: "Cold, mysterious and gentle, just like Sue."

Traveler Squad: ...

Su has become numb to the praise. Jade can turn the topic to her no matter what she sees, and then praise her from various angles.

The most important thing is that Su can feel that Jade really feels that way!

This made Su unable to complain about Jade, let alone refuse her enthusiasm.

Paimon looked at Su's embarrassed expression and actively changed the subject, "Jade, do you want to hear about our adventures in Mondstadt?"

Jade: “Okay, okay!”

Jade really likes the Mondstadt described by Paimon. "The windmills in Mondstadt bring the scent of dandelions and ice and snow. It would be nice if the desert could have such a scene."

"I am a free sand. I have been in the rainforest for so many years. Only after I came to the desert did I realize that I actually belong here."

Jade loves the desert and is looking forward to Gabriel telling her about his life in the desert.

Maybe you’ll hear something about your mother!

But Gabriel still rejected her.

In order to comfort his daughter who had been rejected many times, Gabriel, who was in charge of the night watch, sang a desert song in a low voice.

"The stars rise over the wasteland, and the nightingale grows tired of the days."

"It's time to take off the crown of roses, wash off the dust of the world, and use the wine of grapes."

"Sleep, sleep, the golden dreamland is calling the wandering sand."

"Here you don't have to drink the bitter salt water, and here you won't have to worry about tomorrow."

As soon as Jade heard this ballad, she felt sleepy out of habit.

Since she was a little girl, Gabriel had used this song to lull her to sleep.

Jade lay on the blanket and winked at Sue, whispering, "My father said that my mother taught him this ballad."

The ballad was her lullaby and a memorial to her father and her mother.

Whenever her father sang this ballad, she would clearly feel herself being enveloped in the love of her parents.

Jade fell asleep. Su looked at the girl sleeping in the open air and took out a blanket to cover her.

After all, the night wind in the desert is still a bit cold, and there will be dew in the oasis in the early morning.

In order to prove that the blanket was humanitarian care and not special treatment, Su also gave Tirzad a blanket for free.

Su: "You are too weak, build more and don't get sick and hold us back!"

The next day, Su and Paimon were awakened by the sound of fighting. They rubbed their eyes and went out of the tent to see that it was Gabriel and Jade fighting.

Tirzad calmly explained that this was a pair of mercenaries doing morning exercises. "I was scared to death when I first saw it. I thought the father and daughter had turned against each other."

The strong wind caused by the movement and the sound of the punches hitting flesh frightened the fragile scholar who was seeing such a scene for the first time and he covered his head in fear.

Paimon: "Jade is so fast! But she still can't beat Gabriel."

The amateurs Tirzade and Paimon could only watch the fun, but the experts Su and Kong saw it very clearly.

Sue: "Jade is not only fast but also very strong, much stronger than Gabriel."

Kong: "Zhebrel has more combat experience, and he relied on his skills to suppress the opponent."

Judging from her physical fitness and fighting talent, Jade will be able to defeat Gabriel in less than two years.

After completing their morning exercise, the father and daughter poured the cool lake water from the oasis directly on their bodies to wash away the sweat and relieve the pain.

Su Ben wanted to help hang a healing water ring, but after thinking about it, he didn't take any action.

Tirzad kept complaining that Gabriel was too rough in raising his children.

Jade: "Is Tirzade too particular? Would he be unable to sleep if he put a bean under ten layers of cushions?"

Seeing Su, Jade's eyes lit up. She ignored Tirzad who was jumping up and down, and went over to greet her, "Good morning, Su."

Jade thanked him for the blanket last night, and Kuasu was gentle and thoughtful.

Jade took out a drink and offered it to Su. "I asked my dad for a long time to teach me this desert-flavored refreshing drink. Su, try it."

This drink requires a lot of reed roots. She got up early and dug and washed them for a long time by the lake in the oasis before she could squeeze out a cup.

Su really didn't know how to respond to Jade, "Don't give me anything, I don't want it. And you praise me too much..."

"I really won't be your lover," Su thought for a moment and said decisively, "If this continues, we can end our friendship."

Jade's mood fell, "Did I cause you any trouble? I'm sorry."

The young girl was passionate and when she saw Su she felt that she was good in every way and a smile would appear on her face whenever she thought of Su.

Kwasu's words were all his true thoughts. He squeezed the drink because he wanted to do something for his sweetheart and make her happy.

She never expected that her enthusiasm and instinctive enterprising spirit would become a psychological burden to the other party.

Jade tried hard to put on a smile, "I won't do this again. Let's just be friends, okay?"

Su hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay" in Jade's melancholy golden eyes.

Jade left. Sora and Paimon, who had been avoiding this place and leaving space for the two girls, came back.

Paimon patted his friend's shoulder and Sue shook his head, "I'm fine."

The more I get to know Jade, the more I understand her, the more I realize that she is actually a very good person.

It would be better if Jade had no romantic thoughts about her.

It is much harder to reject Jade who is now a friend than to reject Jade who was previously a stranger.

But she didn't want to be boiled like a frog by Jade, so she had no choice but to do this.

Sue became annoyed again as she thought about it, "It's all Jade's fault! I don't want a lover!"

"Okay, okay, it's all Jade's fault." Paimon patted the girl's head skillfully, "Our Su is still young and doesn't want to fall in love."

For Su, it is too early to taste the bitterness and troubles of love.

——*——*——

Tirzad was chatting with Gabriel unilaterally, "According to incomplete statistics, there is a 98.9% chance that first love will end in failure."

Seeing Jade coming to her father dejectedly, Tilzad quietly left as if he knew nothing.

"Dad," Jade rested her forehead on Gabriel's back, "There's no hope. I feel so bad..."

Her heart seemed to be filled with honey and bitter wine, and whenever she thought of Su she would feel sour, bitter and slightly sweet.

Su's meaning was very clear, either be ordinary friends or be strangers, there was no other option.

The rejection in Su's eyes was very clear and direct, leaving her no room for maneuver or imagination.

Jade's heart ached when she thought about it, and she began to dance and scratch like crazy, "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Gabriel was scratched by the silly boy whose strength was growing day by day, leaving a bloody wound. He simply took a step to the side, and Jade fell to the ground on the grass with a plop.

Gabriel: "Cry. Cry while lying on your stomach so no one can see you."

Jade got up with red eyes, "I won't cry! Dad, you don't love me anymore!"

"...Alas." Gabriel opened his arms helplessly.

Jade jumped into his arms like a little leopard and buried her face in his red scarf, "Woo woo..."

Just like he did ten years ago, Gabriel carried his daughter, who seemed to have grown up yet not yet, in his arms, patting her back gently and silently comforting her with his company.
