“Were you a soldier before?” Crystal asked again.
Harold paused and said, “Yes.”
“Why did you come back to do business then?”
Harold hugged Crystal, his fingers sliding down her hair. He chuckled and said, “There’s no future as a soldier.”
Crystal didn’t quite understand. “Is it because you earn more money by starting a company?”
“You can also think about it that way.” Harold said, “If I don’t have that much money, how can I afford to support you?”
Crystal puffed out her cheeks. “I’m not that hard to raise. I’ll eat even if you roast scorpions for me.”
“Forget it.” Harold said, “It’s really awful.”
Crystal laughed out loud. She leaned against Harold’s chest and seemed to have thought of something. She said, “I saw someone roast that kind of bee chrysalis and grasshopper before. Have you ever seen them?”
Harold grew up in Fairby and hadn’t seen many delicacies in the south. “No.”
Crystal made a gesture. “It’s probably that long. Some people sell fried scorpions, but it’s hard to tell if they’re scorpions because of they were fried… I haven’t eaten them. I heard that bee chrysalis are very delicious. They’re all high protein.”
Harold was speechless.
Why was this girl so attracted to weird food?
“There are more!” Crystal said, “There are also fertilized chicken eggs! Do you know?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Harold was speechless.
He had a bad feeling.
Crystal said, “It’s the egg that is about to hatch but not completely formed. There is the shape of a head, wings, and feet inside the egg. I heard that it is also very nutritious, but I haven’t eaten it yet.”
Harold was momentarily silent. “Do you want to eat this?”
“I don’t really want to,” Crystal said, “I just wanted to share it with you. I saw it when I went to the fair before, but what I wanted to eat the most was the walnut cookie, which was very expensive. Grandma occasionally bought some, but I couldn’t eat it.”
“When we get to Sunshine Village, I’ll buy it for you.” Harold patted her head. “However, let’s forget about fertilized eggs.”
Crystal’s shoulders trembled with laughter. “There’s still something that you can’t accept?”
Harold thought about it.
He didn’t seem to take these things seriously when he was young. As long as there was something he could eat, he would not hesitate to eat it.
He was probably getting old now. When he thought of those bloody days again, he found it funny.
Crystal turned her head and said, “Actually, I’m a little sad.”
“Hmm?”
Crystal said, “When I went to see Anaya yesterday, she had already reconciled with Alan, but she couldn’t be discharged from the hospital. Her face was very pale. I thought that although she and Alan liked each other, they had to go through thick and thin before they could be together. If it was a secret love, how hard it would be to be together.”
Harold’s eyelashes drooped slightly. “Why did you suddenly say that?”
“I was inspired in the moment.”
“So don’t fall in love with others first.” Harold said in a low voice, “Those who fall in love first will lose.”
Crystal raised her fair face and said, “If… no one is willing to be the loser, they won’t be together, will they?”
Harold pinched her face and smiled. “There will always be someone who is willing to lose.”
Crystal blinked slightly. At that moment, Harold almost thought that she would ask, “Are you willing to lose?”
But she didn’t. She just leaned lazily on his shoulder and said, “I’ll remember it.”
There was a gust of wind outside the window, which stirred up the flowers in the garden and brought a cool fragrance.
