"I originally thought that my relationship with you was not very good, but now it seems that it may be the opposite."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Bernadette Gustave pursed her lips instinctively. She looked at Lin Ruo in front of her and asked in a low voice: "You really don't remember anything?"
"I can't say that I have forgotten everything. I can only say that most of the memories are lost." Lin Ruo answered calmly. He smiled again and said, "But it doesn't matter. I believe that these memories will be restored one day. And even if I lose my memory, I can't say that I have forgotten everything."
No, my instinct will still tell me what attitude I should use to face you."
He looked in the direction of the coffee shop and said: "Let's go, don't stand here anymore, talk about things where you should go."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in the direction of the coffee shop. Medici next to him glanced at Bernadette, sneered at something he thought of, and followed her.
"..." Bernadette Gustave looked at the backs of the two people, and then took a step forward.
The three of them were led by Lin Ruo to a nearby coffee shop. After requesting a private room, they each ordered drinks. When the drinks were served, Lin Ruo looked at Bernadette and asked warmly.
road:
"I think the relationship between us may be complicated."
It is definitely complicated, because Bernadette Gustave's reaction has already explained this. The mood she showed when she saw Lin Ruo was not simply the joy of seeing Lin Ruo again after a long separation, or hatred, but something like that.
It's like joy mixed with guilt and a little bit of escape.
Lin Ruo saw this, so he looked into Bernadette's eyes and continued: "Can you tell me what happened? It's about the past between me and you."
If before the meeting, Lin Ruo wanted to meet Bernadette Gustave just to understand Russell's situation, then now he realizes that his relationship with Bernadette Gustave may be very complicated.
Later, Lin Ruo's priority focus undoubtedly shifted to this aspect.
Bernadette Gustave avoided Lin Ruo's gaze almost subconsciously. At this moment, Lin Ruo could see that she was at a loss and a little hesitant. At this moment, she didn't look like a big shot in the mysterious world, but more like
A little girl who made a mistake and didn't know how to make things right in front of her parents.
She was silent for a long time and then said: "I'm sorry, godfather."
"I'm sorry that I angered you because of my father's affairs. You were obviously not wrong, but I..."
Bernadette Gustave's voice was trembling. She finally looked at Lin Ruo and said:
"But I said such excessive words to you, and even hurt you."
"sorry."
Her words had no beginning or end, but Lin Ruo understood her.
So that’s it, he thought.
Through Bernadette Gustave's reaction and words, Lin Ruo had roughly guessed what was going on.
At one time, he and Bernadette Gustave probably had a really good relationship, and they were even godfather and goddaughter who had a close relationship.
It wasn't until later that something happened to Russell. It was most likely that he was contaminated after going to the moon, which caused his temperament to change drastically. This incident led to some misunderstandings and caused Bernadette to fall out with him.
There may be some details involved in taking the lead, such as how good his relationship is with Bernadette Gustave, and what role he played in Russell being contaminated, and why
You will be offended, but these are things to explore later.
At this moment, Lin Ruo just sighed, and he suddenly reached out and patted Bernadette Gustave's head, and said warmly like an elder: "So this is why you didn't want to see me before?
"
"I..." Bernadette Gustave pursed her lips and said, "I don't know how to face you... Although you don't remember, I know what a bastard thing I have done.
."
"So how much of a bastard is that?" Lin Ruo asked nonchalantly.
Bernadette Gustave was suddenly stuck, and it took a while before she said awkwardly: "I insult you, hate you, and use the things you gave me to hurt you..."
"Looks like a bastard." Lin Ruo nodded solemnly, and when Bernadette Gustave's expression became more and more embarrassed because of his words, she said, "Like an angry child."
Bernadette Gustave was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to say that.
Lin Ruoze continued: "To be honest, I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of myself in the past. After all, I don't remember anything. I don't know how I felt when faced with those bastard things you did.
.But I think even though I was a little sad at that time, I didn’t really hate you or hate you because of it..."
He looked at Bernadette Gustave and said seriously: "Because I don't hate you now."
"...But you don't remember anything." After hearing Lin Ruo's words, Bernadette Gustave breathed a subtle sigh of relief, then thought of something again and said.
"As I said, even if I lose my memory, my instinct will still tell me what attitude I should use to face you." After Lin Ruo said this, he asked with a smile:
"Bernadette, do you know how I define you in my instinct?"
"What?" Bernadette Gustave asked subconsciously.
"It's my daughter!" Lin Ruo smiled brightly and said, "Although Russell certainly doesn't want me to see you this way, I do treat you as my daughter, little Bernadette."
This is not a lie. Just as when Lin Ruo faced Medici, he instinctively resisted but at the same time trusted him very much. He completely subconsciously regarded Medici as a close friend. When facing Bernadette Gustave, Lin Ruo
If you really have the feeling of facing a child.
When it comes to her own children, Lin Ruo has always been tolerant.
So he continued:
"Because you are a daughter, no matter how excessive you have done, as an old father, I will eventually forgive you."
Bernadette Gustave was stunned. She was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said dullly: "You just said that you are not qualified to forgive me on behalf of you in the past..."
"So what I'm talking about is the end..." Lin Ruo said, suddenly blinking at Bernadette Gustave and said:
"Little Bernadette, if you really want to be forgiven, just work hard to help me restore my memory!"
"...I will." Bernadette Gustave nodded solemnly.
"By the way," Lin Ruo thought of something again and said, "Don't tell your dad about me treating you as my daughter, otherwise I'm afraid I will fight with him."
"Pfft..." Bernadette Gustave probably remembered something and suddenly laughed and said: "But godfather, you have often fought with father because of this matter before!"
Lin Ruo blinked, not surprised.
Medici, who was watching the whole process, took a sip of the cocktail in front of him. The scene where Lin Ruo fooled Amon a long time ago came to his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a "tsk".
Sometimes Medici really feels that Lin Ruo's most powerful aspect is not his magical ability to simulate all pathways, but his control over people's hearts.
Over the years, as long as Lin Ruo wanted to make friends, there was no one he could refuse.
So Lin Ruo always had a lot of friends, and she was always... sad because of the passing of those friends.
