Chapter 599: Three People in Conflict (Part 1)

"Wait... I can't walk anymore... Let me rest for a while..."

After saying that, Su Cheng dragged his tired body to a street corner not far away without waiting for Alyssa's response, squatting without any image, recovering his physical strength and massaging his sore and swollen legs.

——There is no place to sit down and rest on both sides of the street, which is really inconvenient...

Su Cheng squatted on the ground and massaged his sore legs, while continuing to say in his heart:

——I might as well order the installation of benches for passers-by to sit down and rest on both sides of the streets in the fortress city...

In addition to the two major positions of the leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the northern front, Su Cheng actually has other positions.

That is the chief executive of the six military bases in the north, including the Avalon Fortress.

A considerable part of the affairs that Su Cheng handles on weekdays are administrative affairs of the Avalon Fortress and other military bases.

If Su Cheng is willing, it is still possible to install benches for passers-by to rest on both sides of the streets in the city of Avalon Fortress.

"Really." Alyssa followed up, curled her lips, and said unhappily, "Are you so tired?"

"My physical strength is not as good as yours." Su Cheng smiled bitterly helplessly, "I have to ask you a question instead. We have been walking for almost 2 hours in a row. Aren't you tired?"

"It's okay, I don't feel anything. Rather than saying that I have good physical strength, it's better to say that you, Su Cheng, have poor physical strength. You should also remember to exercise normally."

"Okay, okay, I know, I will pay attention to exercise."

"Your tone is so perfunctory!"

Su Cheng and Alyssa, one squatting and the other standing, played and laughed for a while, and Su Cheng finally rested enough and stood up.

"Okay, I rested enough too."

"You finally rested enough." Alyssa's face was a little happy, "Then where are we going next?"

"Nowhere, just go home."

"Huh?"

Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "Don't you notice what time it is now?"

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Alyssa looked up at the western sky.

The sun was about to sink into the horizon.

The setting sun reflected the clouds covering the western half of the sky, and the sky began to be stained with the color of sunset.

However, the ground was still bright, and Alyssa's attention had not been on the sky and time, so she did not realize that it was already late.

"Ah, is it so late..."

- Time flies... It feels like I just came out with Su Cheng...

Looking at the sky that was already stained with the color of sunset,

Alyssa said in her heart with some disappointment.

- If... the sun could go down a little later...

...

...

Su Cheng and Alyssa walked side by side on the way home.

Alyssa's home is next to Su Cheng's home, so their way home is naturally the same.

Although the two of them were not chatting and remained silent on the way home, the atmosphere between the two of them did not become awkward because of the silence.

The atmosphere between the two of them was so harmonious and so natural.

Just when they were only a little distance away from their home, a voice not far from Alyssa attracted her attention:

"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"Tonight's meal is amazing. We're going to eat pork tonight."

"Ah! Pork! Great!"

After hearing this conversation not far from her, Alyssa immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

As Alyssa expected, the owners of this conversation were a mother and daughter.

The mother of this mother and daughter was about 30 years old, and her daughter was about 8 years old.

Looking at this mother and daughter who seemed to have a very good relationship and were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight, Alyssa couldn't help but reveal nostalgia and envy in her eyes.

——Mom...

——When my mother was still alive, she liked to cook by herself.

——I used to like to pester my mother and ask her what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner today.

——Knowing that today's meal includes my favorites, I will be like this little girl, jumping for joy...

——Mom...

Alyssa's eyes gradually became moist as she thought of her long-dead mother.

Su Cheng, who was walking beside Alyssa, naturally noticed the strangeness of Alyssa at this time.

Looking at Alyssa's gradually moist eyes, Su Cheng pursed his lips.

After thinking for a while, Su Cheng raised his left hand and gently held Alyssa's right palm.

"Huh?" After Su Cheng suddenly held her hand, Alyssa immediately turned back with a look of disbelief on her face.

Su Cheng's "sudden attack" made Alyssa a little overwhelmed.

Looking at her hand that was now holding Su Cheng's, and looking at Su Cheng's expressionless face, she didn't know what to say or do for a moment.

And at this moment, Su Cheng spoke.

Su Cheng raised his free right hand and scratched his hair:

"I used to... always think of my parents..."

"Eh..." Alyssa's face gradually showed some surprise.

"I often can't help but cry when I think of my parents."

"But every time I think about my parents and feel sad, Alan will always be by my side."

"Silently hold my hand."

"Although Alan's hand was small, to me at that time, it was the warmest thing in the world."

"It's warm, from the palm of my hand to the bottom of my heart."

"So... I want to use the method Alan used to comfort me..."

"Although this method may not work for me to use on you, but I thought it would be nice if I could calm your mood a little bit..."

Alyssa's red lips were slightly open, and her fair cheeks gradually turned a lovely pink color.

"Then... Su Cheng." Alyssa continued, "When we held the round table meeting last year, you hugged me when I was laughed at by others for wearing that skirt, and you also tried to comfort me and calm me down. In the mood?"

After hearing Alyssa's question, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment.

Then, he nodded slightly.

"Well... I'm sorry, it's still a little strange..."

Su Cheng scratched the right corner of his mouth in embarrassment and said in a slightly apologetic tone:

"Now that I think about it carefully, I seem to be a little nosy... Even if I intend to comfort you, it's not my turn to hold your hand or give you a hug... This seems a bit too rude to you... …Well!"

Before Su Cheng finished speaking, Alyssa threw herself into Su Cheng's arms.

At the same time, he tightly held Su Cheng's hand that was holding hers.

The two held their hands tightly together.

Alyssa's head was buried between Su Cheng's chest.

"A-Alyssa?"

This time it was Su Cheng's turn to look at Alyssa who suddenly threw herself into his arms with disbelief.

Before Su Cheng could further ask Alyssa what was wrong with her, Alyssa suddenly made a sound like a mosquito snoring:

"like......"

"Huh? Alyssa, what did you say?"

However, because the voice was too low, Su Cheng did not hear clearly what Alyssa was saying.
