Then, without hesitation, she asked Eri to close the curtains.
——The first moment she saw the old man, she understood what kind of person he was.
"A guy like [Kai]."
"No, maybe it's even worse than that guy."
Chapter 216 Morgan: Father, do you feel guilty towards me?
A week later.
Port area, outside the villa.
Uesugi Yue has been selling ramen here for a week.
No one knows what kind of superpowers or money this ordinary-looking old man has that he can openly set up a stall and sell ramen in this wealthy area where only the rich and powerful are welcome.
No one, be it the police or the underworld, came to take care of him!
But then again, his craftsmanship is pretty good.
Some people couldn't resist their curiosity and secretly went to his stall to try it. It was not very authentic Japanese ramen, but because of the addition of French cuisine and meat sauce soup, it was actually better than ramen sold in other places.
The most important thing is that such delicious ramen is not very expensive.
"elder sister."
"The old man said, buy one bowl and get one free."
Uesugi Erie held two small round buckets in her hands - the small space was filled with ramen and char siu that were made with sincerity.
Morgan rolled his eyes at her.
She was somewhat comforted by the little guy's innocence and kindness, which was exactly what she had lost long ago and could never get back.
But at the same time, sometimes she would feel a little disappointed - even that girl Altria knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so why didn't this little girl understand this truth?
"Sister, do you want to eat?"
"Keep it for yourself!"
"That's not good... How about I leave you a piece of barbecued pork?"
Looking at Eri's sparkling eyes, Morgan, who had just felt a little angry, suddenly calmed down.
--never mind.
She thought that the child was probably beyond saving.
……
Late at night, 11 o'clock.
It was another quiet and peaceful night.
The streets of the wealthy area were quiet and peaceful, with only a hint of steam rising from the ramen stalls. Under the illumination of the streetlights, the noodles took on all sorts of bizarre shapes.
After a busy day, Yuan Zhisheng came here again.
He didn't know why, he clearly didn't have to come - or rather, the president's office at Genji Heavy Industries was his place to rest.
However, whenever he felt really tired, the first place he thought of was here.
An average looking ramen stall.
He felt that he seemed to be somewhat nostalgic for this place, nostalgic for the "father" who could chat with him there because he didn't know his true "identity".
"Young man, are you married?"
"Is the person waiting for you over there your lover?"
"I'm not bragging, but when I was your age, I slept with a different partner every day—sometimes even several!"
The old man shook his head, smiled smugly, and added another egg to his ramen bowl.
Yuan Zhisheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He knew the "gift" the old man gave to Uesugi Eriya - it was a buy one get one free deal.
To him, it was just an extra egg.
Moreover, this one egg was given to him because he was the current head of the Sheqi Eight Families and was given to him as a favor to the Japanese [Movie Emperor].
——Or perhaps, he gave it to her because he had been working hard to take care of Eri over the years.
"Uncle, why is there a small food cart over there?"
"Are you planning to expand your takoyaki business?"
Yuan Zhisheng mashed the eggs with chopsticks and mixed them into the noodles - this was a habit he developed as a child and he couldn't change it now.
"what."
"Aren't you going to give it a try?"
"If I keep selling ramen, she'll probably get tired of it in three or five days. I plan to change up the variety so she has more choices."
"By the way, you guy, tell me if she has any favorite food!"
"do not know."
"So what food does she dislike?"
"do not know."
"You, aren't you her brother? How come you don't know anything? Are you really taking good care of your sister?"
The ramen chef was furious, and he banged the ramen spoon violently on Gen Chisheng's table, making a series of crisp sounds.
Yuan Zhisheng's face darkened instantly.
He knew that he was not a good brother - whether to Minamoto no Chijo or to Uesugi Eriya.
"The doctor's report is out."
"what?"
"The doctor said he might never wake up again."
"Oh, that guy, he's your brother, right?"
"It's a shame, but it's better if he doesn't wake up, right?"
"For twins, this state may be the best thing."
"Besides, this way, the power of the fierce ghosts will no longer be a threat... This should be a good thing for both the Eight Snake Clans and you..."
Uesugi Yue listened to Minamoto no Chisei's story in a very calm mood, and even said words of comfort - at this moment he had no idea that the "Gen. Chijo" that Minamoto no Chisei mentioned was actually his other son.
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, he felt like there were thousands of words stuck in his throat - he even wanted to turn the grief and anger in his heart into strength and teach this "father" in front of him a lesson.
But he didn't do that after all.
“Ignorance is bliss.”
To this day, he still didn't know what had happened to this old man—but since he was no longer Japan's "Movie King," but just an ordinary ramen chef who missed his daughter, Yuan Zhisheng would not puncture this illusion.
He will shoulder his responsibilities - whether it is the [Shadow Emperor] or the [Brother].
"elder brother--"
Suddenly, Yuan Zhisheng heard a very soft cry.
He raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound - and found a small figure standing outside the window of the second-floor bedroom.
She flapped her wings gently, jumped down from the windowsill like a red flying squirrel, and glided towards Yuan Zhisheng.
——That’s the real “flying squirrel”.
If I don't get her, she will definitely cry.
Knowing this well, Yuan Zhisheng did not dare to be careless at all - he even stood up from seat 5.0 and extended his arm in advance.
Uesugi Yue next to him looked at this scene with a look of envy.
Then, he quickly lowered his head, pretending to fiddle with his stall cart, which was old but had been carefully cleaned by him.
"Brother, good evening."
"Well, good evening, Eri."
"And father, good evening."
"Well, tonight..."
Uesugi Yue, who was about to answer subconsciously, was stunned for a moment after realizing the "title".
He looked up in disbelief—and discovered that the little witch's eyes were gleaming with pride.
"My sister told me everything!"
"She also said that if you want to apologize, just say it quickly. If you take those words to hell, your daughter will hate her father for the rest of her life."
Chapter 217 A Father Always Leaves Something for His Daughter
Villa, in the basement.
This was originally the garage and underground warehouse of the villa, which was transformed by Morgan into a temporary magic workshop.
Morgan carefully placed thirteen crystal balls shining with blue light on the ceiling of the basement. When they began to emit light in specific patterns, the rhythm of magic silently filled every corner of the room.
"very nice."
“It’s like a dreamy galaxy.”
At this moment, Shirataki, who witnessed this beautiful scene with his own eyes, made such an evaluation.
But there was one thing he didn't quite understand.
"But why don't you go out and take a look?"
"In the world outside, there are real galaxies."
Shirataki looked around at this room that was decorated to look like a vast starry sky but was actually just a basement, and shook his head in confusion.
He knew that Morgan was socially anxious, but there was probably no need for him to be so socially anxious, right?
29 In response to Shirataki's question, Morgan's answer was very simple.
"got used to."
She replied in a very calm voice.
Just as Shirataki had said, she actually had a better way to set up this magic workshop. The galaxy outside was no longer something out of reach for her now; she could touch it with just a little effort.
However, the woman named Morgan le Fay had long been accustomed to staying in this narrow and dark little house, doing her own things quietly.
——This is also the reason why she allowed Uesugi Eri to sneak out in the middle of the night and did not stop this dangerous behavior.
As a true veteran, Morgan understands this truth quite well:
This half-grown child is like a fledgling that has just learned to fly but cannot fly very far.
The more times like this, the more we need to let her get in touch with the outside world.
Otherwise, when she grows up and gets used to the narrow and cramped nest... it won't be so easy to force her to leave.
……
outside world.
Under the soft light, the little witch's words "Father" were like a spring rain.
It fell gently from the sky, awakening all life in the land that had been frozen for nearly sixty years.
"I……"
Looking at the pair of rose-red eyes in front of him, Uesugi Yue was a little at a loss, not knowing what to say.
