Chapter 561 Erii's Friend
After that, while the men on the beach were sleeping, Genji entered their subconscious minds one by one and warned them not to harass Erii anymore.
Because of this, no one dared to disturb Erii when she was making sand sculptures anymore.
Those stupid dogs were still trying to coax Erii into speaking; if she actually spoke, those stupid dogs would be dead.
Erii quietly made sand sculptures on the beach every day, then watched them collapse as the tide receded, and then made another one the next day after the tide went out.
This repetitive life brought her a sense of peace.
"Eri-neechan!" Just as Erii was finishing her sand sculpture of the Eiffel Tower, a little girl wearing a white one-piece swimsuit ran towards her.
Erii turned her head slightly when she heard the familiar voice, and when she saw that it was Renka, a smile appeared on her face for the first time.
She actually smiled, and her eyes came alive, as if a delicate doll had suddenly come to life.
Not far away, a young man working part-time at a jet ski shop was stunned when he saw Erii's smile.
Little Lotus ran along, stumbling and falling. Just as she was about to reach Erii, she tripped and fell, her little head knocking down Erii's Eiffel Tower.
Suddenly, everyone on the beach fell silent, as if they had remembered something terrible.
Erii wasn't angry; she simply picked up Renka and gently patted the sand off her hair.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I knocked down my sister's Eiffel Tower." Xiao Lianhua said with a guilty look on her face.
Erii gently brushed the sand off Xiaolianhua, then wrote in the sand: "It's okay, we can make another one."
"Can I do it with my sister?" Xiao Lianhua asked.
Erika nodded.
Then the two of them squatted on the beach and began to rebuild the Eiffel Tower.
"Did you go to Paris for tourism too, sister?" Lianhua asked.
Erika nodded.
"Paris smells terrible, and so many people urinate and defecate in public. I've never seen a place like this before."
Erii thought for a moment and nodded, then wrote a sentence in the sand: "I may not have been to many places, but the Paris Metro certainly has a strong smell."
“I’ve been to the subway in Shanghai before, and all the platforms there have safety doors!” Xiao Lianhua said excitedly. “In Tokyo, only some platforms have safety doors.”
"What's fun to do in Shanghai?" Erii asked.
"There are mostly tourist attractions. I went to see the Oriental Pearl Tower. Brother Gu Ran told me that the tower occasionally sends out lightning strikes to people using Android phones!"
Erii immediately became interested: "Why attack people who use Android phones?"
"I don't know, my brother didn't explain it very clearly either. Xiaoqiang said he was talking nonsense and teaching children bad things."
"Where did you go during summer vacation?" Erii asked.
"I also went to Brother Gu Ran and Sister Xiao Qiang's hometown and attended their engagement party. I was their flower girl!"
"Is it fun?"
"It was so much fun! The older brother and sister were so kind, and Sister Xiaoqiang was so pretty too. I wore a nice dress too, and I'll show you some pictures later!"
"it is good."
"Will Erii-neechan get married someday? I can be your flower girl!" Xiaolianhua said happily.
"What is marriage?"
"Marriage is about two people, a man and a woman, living together in love."
Erii thought for a moment and asked, "Does it have to be a man and a woman to get married?"
"Uh..." Xiao Lianhua patted her cute little head, "I heard from my sister that in some places you can get married without a man and a woman, but it seems like they can't have babies!"
"Do people who love each other always get married?" Erii asked again.
"Hmm... I don't understand. I'm still young. My older sister is asking me such a profound question, and I don't understand it either," said six-year-old Lianhua helplessly.
Erii didn't understand why this question was so complicated. Wasn't the answer simply "yes" or "no"?
However, she didn't delve into it further and decided to ask Lu Mingfei later.
She trusted Lu Mingfei the most.
Erii quickly started playing with Renka. The two chatted at the same pace, both being childlike and able to talk about anything.
They can talk about the latest anime, the latest toys, and anything in between, just like the best friends among children.
"You're so thoughtful, knowing to let the child be friends with Erii."
In a nearby beach snack shop, Yuan Zhinu whispered to Gu Ran.
At this moment, Gu Ran was chatting with the three Uesugi brothers, father and son. They sat together in the shop, looking at Erii and Xiaolianhua not far away.
Su Xiaoqiang was fiddling with Erii's shaved ice machine, making shaved ice for everyone, while Yabuki Sakura was instructing Su Xiaoqiang and also using a charcoal stove to make some barbecue snacks for everyone, chatting and eating at the same time.
Gu Ran took a bite of the charcoal-grilled oyster without any hesitation. It was topped with teriyaki sauce made by Grandpa Uesugi Kotsugi, and it was very delicious.
He wiped his mouth before saying, "Eri is still young at heart. It's impossible for her to grow up all at once, so it's good for her to be friends with children."
Genjiro smoked a mild Seven Stars cigarette, watching Erii and Korenka chatting and laughing, and sighed slightly.
"I spent too little time with her before, and I didn't think about what would be good for her. I let Herzog take advantage of me for so long."
“Brother, isn’t it all in the past?” Yuan Zhinv frowned and glanced at Yuan Zhisheng. “Why keep dwelling on it?”
"I just occasionally think about that stubborn version of myself, which is kind of ridiculous," Genjiro said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"Well, even Cao Cao couldn't have imagined that the empire he built would be usurped by the Sima family. They were prepared to fight against the unprepared, so there's nothing we can do about it." Gu Ran smiled at Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had used the example of Cao Cao before, saying, "If I didn't exist, I wonder how many people would claim to be emperor and how many would claim to be king," using this sentence to argue for the legitimacy of the existence of the underworld.
Now Gu Ran is bringing up Cao Cao again, and it's unclear whether he's mocking him or comforting him.
However, Yuan Zhisheng was already used to Gu Ran's sarcastic manner, so he just smiled and took it as a good intention.
"There's no point in dwelling on the past. I just want to live the rest of my days with you all, and that'll be enough for me." Uesugi Yue looked at Gu Ran. "Did Angers mention me?"
"No, the principal is very busy. He's been busy training Lu Mingfei lately," Gu Ran said. "Don't worry, the principal won't come looking for you. Just like when you stepped down, the principal kept his promise and didn't bother you for decades."
“Actually, sometimes I really want to talk to him, after all, I don’t have many friends left in this world.” Uesugi Koshi said with emotion. When old people reach a certain age, they tend to think about the past and immerse themselves in past friendships.
"By the way, thank you for last time, my heart is much better." Uesugi Yue then looked at Gu Ran, "Thanks to you, I can live a few more years."
When Gu Ran sparred with Uesugi Yue before, he used the Palm Immortal Technique to treat Uesugi Yue's heart disease, which could be considered as prolonging his life. However, his organs had already aged, which was something that could not be helped. It was just that the dragon blood was still repairing his body, which was riddled with holes.
Uesugi Kotsuki stood up solemnly, bowed ninety degrees to Gu Ran, and thanked him very sincerely: "Red bean paste, arigato!"
"No need, no need," Gu Ran stood up and made Uesugi Yue raise his head. "The world is about to change. I'm doing this for my own selfish reasons. We can't control our own fate. Perhaps at the last moment, I'll need your help."
“Alright, just let me know if you need anything,” Uesugi Kotetsu said.
It could be said that Gu Ran saved the lives of his entire family, so he was willing to do anything for Gu Ran if he really wanted to.
“Me too.” Genjiro and Genjiro exchanged a glance and said in unison, “If you need any help, just let us know.”
"Then I'd like to thank you all in advance." Gu Ran raised his beer bottle and clinked glasses with everyone.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the snack shop, and Gu Ran looked over.
It turned out that the men around had come over to chat up Su Xiaoqiang, this new beauty, as soon as they saw her.
Su Xiaoqiang wore a red three-point bikini today, showing off her amazing figure. However, she wore a white gauze apron around her pants, which made her even more alluring as it was partially revealed.
Those hormone-fueled beach men immediately came over to chat them up, buying several bowls of shaved ice.
However, many people were stunned when they saw the wedding ring on Su Xiaoqiang's left ring finger after they came over.
No way, the goddess is married?
A dark-skinned white man persisted, asking Su Xiaoqiang why she was wearing a ring, because he worried she didn't know the meaning of wearing a ring on the left ring finger and might mistake it for a cultural difference between East and West.
Su Xiaoqiang answered frankly that she was already married and her husband was inside!
Everyone looked over, and at that moment Gu Ran raised the ring finger of her left hand, waving her wedding ring for the men outside to see.
“Oh no! Is God going to make me lonely for the rest of my life?!” a man cried out in despair.
Then the men laughed and eventually dispersed.
These men aren't really bad; they just like to have fun and cause trouble, but they're not the kind of utterly wicked people.
So Genjiro lived a very comfortable life on this beach. There was no scheming or backstabbing, and no need for fighting or killing. He could live like an ordinary person.
“Oh right,” Gu Ran walked up to Yuan Zhisheng’s sunscreen shop and asked him, “Quickly recommend a good sunscreen, I want to try it out later.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Genji smiled.
"By the way, did you apply sunscreen to Miss Sakura?"
"She is my girlfriend now."
Gu Ran nodded: "You two don't need a wedding or anything like that to strengthen your bond, right?"
“Yes.” Genjiro had long considered Sakura an important member of the family, so it didn’t matter whether they got married or not.
Chapter 562 The visitor is evil
However, this family of royal blood now has one principle: they will no longer have offspring.
The imperial bloodline will come to an end in their generation.
That's not something the world should have.
Soon, Yuan Zhisheng picked out a sunscreen for Gu Ran. It was said to be oily but not greasy, making it perfect for couples to use while playing.
Gu Ran chuckled and accepted it.
Meanwhile, Xiaolianhua returned to the shop with Erii, and the two of them finished making sand sculptures, building an Eiffel Tower that was nearly one meter tall.
Both of them were very skilled at craftsmanship, even piling up the gaps in the iron tower clearly, and it did not collapse.
Xiao Lianhua held a waterproof point-and-shoot camera and showed the photos to everyone.
In the photo, Erii and Renka are taking a selfie together, looking radiant and cheerful.
