Chapter 13: The Golden Age, the Feast Is Hard to Come by Again
Since waking up, Bella has never had a peaceful sleep during this period. Whenever she closes her eyes, she can't help but think about the figure falling from the roof of the building.
Bella still doesn't know if she heard correctly the two sounds of objects falling back and forth.
Occasionally, she would dream of falling from a high altitude. In her dreams, the feeling of weightlessness was so real that it would scare her awake every time.
Bella didn't know the person who jumped off the building. She couldn't understand why people didn't live well. Why don't you cherish your life? Why commit suicide?
It wasn't until she overheard the conversation between Dr. Mebius and Brother Wutong that she understood something a little bit.
"Suicide? Haha, when people and society force you to have no choice but to commit suicide, is this also called suicide? This is called murder."
"Well, you're right. If I commit suicide one day, it will be you who forced me to do it, doctor...oh, no, murderer."
"...Are you, this little brat, getting more and more presumptuous?!"
"You did it and you still don't want anyone to tell you? I'm just stating the fact that it will happen with a high probability."
"you!……"
The doctor's voice became more and more excited, but she never started to slap Wutong, maybe because she couldn't beat him, but Brother Wutong's tone was always so calm. On the surface, he seemed to have no emotions.
Bella doesn't understand why the doctor and Sycamore get along like this.
Wutong's indifferent attitude always makes the doctor angry. However, for some reason, the erudite doctor is always obsessed with it and always takes the initiative to provoke Wutong who doesn't like to talk to her.
The wise Dr. Mebius can sometimes act silly in small things.
Although the taciturn Wutong has the upper hand every time he gets along, and the Doctor can't do anything to him, his life and destiny seem to be involuntarily, as if they are firmly in the hands of the Doctor.
Bella didn't understand. She didn't understand how the doctor did it, and she didn't understand that since Brother Wutong's personal freedom was not subject to any restrictions, why didn't he leave the laboratory?
Bella found that there were too many things she didn't understand.
What she doesn’t understand the most is that this terrible human society is obviously rotten to the core. It is filled with the musty smell of selfish desire and self-interest from top to bottom. Even ordinary people can smell it. It smells disgusting, but why do humans go to so much trouble to make its appearance so bright and beautiful? !
Is this unnecessary?
In fact, the naive Bella couldn't smell this "must smell", but the gentle sister Blanca once told her about the darkness of human society and told her not to trust anyone easily.
Bella's perception of the Mebius Laboratory was quite good. It was very quiet here, and almost no one would come here except Miss Alicia.
This place seems to be a pure land in the human world, and there is no need to participate in the intrigues and intrigues between people.
Sister Blanca was very kind to Bella and taught her many things, such as: literacy, singing, using mobile phones, taking care of and protecting yourself, living independently, cultivating interests, language skills, how to behave in the world... the most important thing What's more, Blanca taught her how to be a human being.
Blanca's various actions made Bella feel the legendary maternal love.
Dr. Mebius is also easy to get along with. As long as she doesn't make the doctor unhappy, the doctor doesn't bother to talk to her.
Bella doesn't understand why so many people are afraid of the powerless Dr. Mebius. Is it because she looks different?
Or is it because of the countless "injustice souls" who died at the hands of the doctor?
However, the doctor is clearly not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. She respects and values every life, even the lives of the mice who are experimental subjects.
Moreover, the doctor has never forgotten to help Bella regain her memory, but there is no treatment so far.
As for Wutong...Bella likes him very much because he is handsome, has a good personality, is relatively quiet, and according to the doctor, his talent is very high and promising.
He is the ideal partner described in books.
In the dead of night, Bella would occasionally fantasize about marrying Wutong and giving him children.
In her opinion, the person in this laboratory who is most suitable for Brother Wutong is probably herself. The doctor may like Wutong, but she is too old and is not suitable for Brother Wutong.
As for Sister Blanca... she seems to have someone she likes, a warrior named "Hen". Bella has met that man once. He is not bad and has a sense of justice.
However, Bella never confessed her feelings to Wutong because she was not sure whether she liked her, or in other words, she was not sure whether she had feelings for Wutong.
Furthermore, she still has some self-consciousness and scruples.
If Wutong died on the operating table one day, what would she do? How should she face Dr. Mebius?
Wutong treats Bella pretty well. Although he never takes the initiative to talk to Bella or get close to her, his usual behavior is very warm.
To give a few examples: Wutong felt that the food in the Fire Chasing Moth cafeteria was not delicious, so when he was free, he would cook by himself. He would cook a lot of food every time, and the food that he could not eat would be taken out of the pot in advance. Bring it to Blanca and Bella.
And, as it happens, those extra meals generally suit the two's tastes.
Wutong never brought food to Mebius, which made the doctor angry and
Jealousy, therefore, as soon as the doctor learns that Wutong is cooking, he will be very rude and go directly to his dormitory to eat.
Even if the food doesn't suit Mebius's taste, she will still eat it.
In addition, Wutong will also help Bella clean up the laboratory; he will also boil more hot water before exercising so that he and Bella can drink warm water after exercising.
These small actions of Wutong also made Bella initially think that he might like her, but he was too shy to confess it because of shyness. But gradually, Bella discovered that his behavior should not be like, but be kind.
Because Wutong is also very good to the mice in the laboratory. He often improves their food, cleans the mouse nests, and even spends his own money to buy some toys for the mice, such as: molar stones, pipe mazes, running wheels, Swings, ladders, seesaws...
Wutong's attitude towards the white mouse is better than that towards Dr. Mebius. I don't know what the doctor has done to him...well...it seems that he has done a lot of bad things...
The days passed in a dull manner. Three weeks later, a grand banquet was held inside the Fire Chaser Moth. Mebius and others participated in the banquet.
Bella heard from Sister Blanca that the purpose of the banquet was to celebrate the Fire Chasing Moth's victory over a powerful human enemy - the Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder - with the power of technology.
Bella didn't know what the Herrscher was, let alone why the Herrscher was the enemy of mankind, but since she defeated it, that was a good thing.
Hopefully the days ahead will be calmer.
The stars are bright and the lights are brilliant.
The golden auditorium was dotted with flowers and green plants that Bella didn't recognize. Gorgeous giant crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, reflecting dreamlike light from every angle.
A fountain stands in the center of the auditorium, and soothing and melodious music floats in the hall along with the sound of running water.
Every corner here has been carefully decorated.
Bella followed Sister Blanca all the way, and she found that the people dining here had no sense of restraint at all. Handsome men and beauties dressed up for the occasion lingered here in twos and threes, and the aroma of wine overflowed and wafted from the glasses they clashed with.
The beautiful waiters, dressed in short skirts and maid uniforms, carrying trays in their hands, shuttled between the crowds with light and elegant steps, like butterflies darting through flowers.
Bella was not hungry. Following Blanca, she simply tasted the fruit salad and drank a few sips of fruit juice. Then she saw Hen Xun, who was equally handsome and handsome, coming over.
Although Blanca repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, Bella still chose to leave with "sense". The book said that she should not be a "light bulb".
Seeing Bella leaving alone, Blanca and Hen felt guilty at the same time. Blanca felt that she had not taken good care of Bella, while Hen thought that it was his arrival that caused Bella to leave.
It makes people who care about her feel uncomfortable. It seems that Bella's way of dealing with the world needs to continue to be tempered, and she can't be too rigid in getting along with others.
The lonely Bella sat alone in the corner of the banquet hall, staring blankly at the people drinking and drinking, feeling uncomfortable all over.
She doesn't like it here, and she doesn't like staying here alone.
She also wanted to have company on such occasions, otherwise she would feel embarrassed.
"Everyone has a companion, but I don't... Will I stand out if I'm alone? Don't notice me..."
Thinking of this, Bella lowered her head, took out her mobile phone, pretended to be playing with her mobile phone, secretly turned on the front camera, and checked whether the makeup on her face was "smeared".
On the screen, there was a delicate face with amber eyes and brown hair, but Bella found it strange.
"Is this really me? So beautiful...the makeup is so magical..."
Then, Bella quietly glanced at the golden evening gown she was wearing, and thought to herself: "The breast pads are amazing too!"
She is less than 1.6 meters tall and has an "average" figure, as average as Hua. She doesn't know if she will be saved in the future. Although she looks good, she is far less beautiful than Mebius and others.
In order to dress her up with "natural beauty", Blanca spent a lot of effort and time.
Bella lowered her head and played with her phone, updating her circle of friends over and over again. She still felt awkward all over. Bella always felt like people were looking at her, like a ray of light on her back.
In fact, no one noticed her in the corner at all.
Bella suddenly thought of Wutong. Brother Wutong was so introverted and autistic, so he probably didn't have any companions, right? !
Will he feel bad too?
Bella put away her phone and decided to go find Wutong.
Although I don't know what to talk about with Wutong, but... let's find him first.
At the very least, the two of them wouldn't be as embarrassed as they are now.
