Chapter 202 I will no longer be myself
Bright and soft sunlight shone in through the open window, mixed with the noisy breeze with a hint of sea breeze.
Playing with the girl's golden hair that sparkled in the sun.
Then, from time to time, he playfully patted the girl's delicate white skin.
However, it can be the sunshine that brightens people's mood, or the wind elves that bring people a good mood.
The girl half-sitting on the white bed had no intention of paying any attention.
A pair of somewhat dazed eyes were only focused on the TV placed in front of the bed.
That was done with the instruction of her who has now become the pillar of Orb.
The speaker is making an important statement at the conference hall regarding the future direction of the country.
"From today on, Orb will join the United Army and fight against the threats posed by the PLANT Coordinators in the universe to the entire Earth Sphere."
"Contribute all the strength of Orb."
After the long official speech, this is the only important sentence among thousands of words.
The girl is not one who likes red tape.
So if it weren't for some unwritten conventions, the girl really just wanted the speaker to say this one sentence.
"Aub."
After seeing and hearing something that was in line with certain people's wishes, the girl picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Regardless of the scene on TV where countless reporters were excitedly raising their hands to ask questions to the spokesperson because of the declaration of Orb.
"Are you satisfied now?"
The girl turned her head and asked Wang Hu, who was sitting next to her bed and peeling an apple.
"It's not about whether I am satisfied or not, but whether you are satisfied or not."
Putting the peeled apple into his mouth, Wang Hu raised his eyebrows and stared at the girl, Cagalli, the hope for the future of Orb.
"Now that Orb has been occupied by you, you still ask me if I am satisfied?"
After a journey between life and death, fortunately the quality of the Kusanagi is still good.
Therefore, even though it was hit by a lot of light beam attacks, the warship still fell into the sea.
But she is the hope for Orb's future after all, and there are many people in the battleship who want to protect Cagalli.
So the girl, who was only slightly injured, now had great strength to question Wang Hu beside her.
"Is this how you visit patients?"
Staring at Wang Hu's mouth that was chewing an apple, Kagali said viciously.
"I want to protest to the master of your Ribanin. I think my current status is enough to give you a hard time!"
"If I were more resolute, the skin you're wearing might even be stripped off!"
"Ok?"
Wang Hu answered vaguely while chewing an apple.
"Indeed, if you are firm in your attitude, I might really be forced to retire from the army."
"But you will see me again soon, but next time I will appear in front of you as the military supervisor of the Orb Army."
"you!"
His teeth were almost bitten off, and veins bulged on his hands as he pinched the bed sheet. If looks could kill.
Cagalli was certain that the hateful man in front of her must have been riddled with wounds.
but
After half a cup of tea, the girl gasped for breath several times in a row. Just when Wang Hu thought that Kagali was going to have a cerebral hemorrhage due to anger.
Should we consider calling a doctor to see her?
Cagalli let go of the quilt and lowered her head dejectedly.
The afternoon sun was bright and the sea breeze was blowing, but the girl on the bed was surrounded by sorrow.
If there is a photographer with artistic talent here, he will definitely take a picture that will be remembered forever.
It’s a pity that the only person in this room besides Cagalli is Wang Hu, and Wang Hu is obviously not so elegant.
Looking at the depressed girl, Wang Hu not only did not comfort her, but also picked up another apple.
Then the knife seemed to be a part of Wang Hu's body, jumping flexibly on the apple and peeling off long pieces of apple peel.
"Yes, now Orb is basically a pet of you East Asians."
"Whether in the government or in the army, your supervisors are everywhere."
"The Shuguang Society is under your control, the mass accelerator is in your hands, and even the people are dissatisfied with your reputation."
"And your extraordinary style, ha ha ha, is this still Orb?"
He raised his head and looked at Wang Hu who seemed heartless beside him, the victorious Wang Hu.
There was unspeakable hatred in Cagalli's tone.
"When will you let Orb become part of your group?"
"Is it not good?"
Wang Hu carefully cut the peeled apple into small pieces and put them on a plate. At this time, he showed unusual tenderness.
"Come on, ah~"
Wang Hu picked up a piece of apple with a bamboo stick and handed it to Kagali's mouth with a smile.
"you."
He was a typical straight man one moment, but could act so gentle the next.
Looking at Wang Hu, whose difference before and after was as drastic as heaven and earth, Kagalli's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Two blushes immediately appeared on her cheeks.
But Cagalli is Cagalli, and she came to her senses in an instant.
She angrily knocked the apple that Wang Hu was about to put in front of her mouth away.
"Stop being so hypocritical over there."
"I won't fall for that!"
Turning her head away, Cagalli no longer looked at Wang Hu, making it clear that she would not cooperate even if there was non-violence. She would not cooperate even if there was violence.
"This is your brother, he is with us now."
"I don't think you want to see your brother suffer too much."
The apple rolled on the ground. Wang Hu let it roll and took out a photo from his shirt pocket.
"The rescue team found it in your pocket after they pulled you out."
"Don't worry, the relevant personnel have kept it secret, and no one else will know about it."
"What?" Hearing that she had a younger brother, Cagalli was shocked and turned her head back.
Her eyes focused on the photo in Wang Hu's hand, and she remembered what her deceased father had given her before she set out into the universe.
Could it be that what Wang Hu was holding in his hand?
"younger brother?"
Cagalli snatched the photo and looked at it carefully.
The photo shows a woman who had just given birth. Her face is full of warmth as she holds a pair of babies in swaddling clothes.
Judging from the hair color, Cagalli quickly determined that one of them was most likely herself.
There is just one problem, although Uzmi's wife passed away a long time ago.
Cagalli didn't have many memories of her nominal mother, but the woman in the photo definitely didn't look like the mother in her memory.
"Who is this woman?"
After raising the question, Kagali turned over the photo and saw the words left on the back of the photo.
"Cagali and Kira?"
The line of words brought a shocking impact, and the girl's eyes lost their luster.
If this photo is really the truth given to me by my father.
Doesn't that mean that I am not the daughter of Ashaha's family, nor am I my father Uzmi's biological daughter?
"I'm not lying to you. I found this out of you."
While speaking, Wang Hu took out a document from the cabinet beside the bed.
"This is from an investigation by the upper echelons of East Asia. Do you want to see it?"
"Give me!"
A lot has happened recently, and after a series of blows, Cagalli's mood swings have become more and more obvious.
She couldn't wait to snatch the leather briefcase from Wang Hu's hand, took out the documents inside and started reading it at a glance.
After watching it, the girl felt exhausted all over, like ashes that had been burned out.
Leaning against the head of the bed, she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open in a daze.
"what should I do?"
A long, long time passed, until the golden crow fell in the west and the room became dark.
Kagali muttered to herself, not sure whether she was asking herself or Wang Hu who had been sitting next to her.
"About Aub, or your brother Kira?"
He stood up at the right time to make his gentleness clearly appear in Cagalli's sight.
I have waited for so long just to break down the psychological defenses of the girl in front of me step by step, Wang Hu asked softly.
Without saying a word, Kagali's eyes moved and stopped on Wang Hu's face, where they could hear each other's breathing.
"I see. Let's talk about Aub first."
He reached out and patted Cagalli on the head, seeing that she had no intention of resisting.
Wang Hu took advantage of the situation and hugged her, then whispered in her ear.
"The higher-ups will not turn Orb into part of East Asia. You can retain all the rights of a legitimate independent country."
"When the war is over, East Asia will quickly withdraw, just as we advertised before the war."
just
Even after the East Asian Army withdrew, Orb would never be able to return to its previous state.
It was as if the country had been cleaned inside and out several times with a comb.
Every place in Orb from top to bottom will be branded as East Asia.
You have to know that the methods used by East Asia, which has a history of thousands of years, cannot be compared with those of the nouveau riche like the Atlantic Federation.
The highest state is to moisten things silently.
But there is no need to explain these things to the girl in my arms.
"Really?"
Because of Wang Hu's words, Kagali's spirits were lifted a little.
"Yes, it's more real than real gold."
Stroking Cagalli's golden hair was like stroking a napping lioness.
Wang Hu calmed her down and continued.
"As for your brother Kira, he is living a good life now."
"He has a complete family with both parents, and a beautiful girlfriend with a distinguished family background."
"His future in our army is limitless, so there is no need to tell him the truth."
"It's causing him trouble for no reason."
"Won't you tell him?"
Cagalli was perhaps a little unwilling to give up, so she finished reading the information in the file bag.
She is a little bit obsessed with her last blood relative in this world.
"Well, I think it's better not to tell him."
"He still has feelings for Orb. Didn't you see that he didn't fight in the Battle of Orb this time?"
"If you tell him the truth, think about it, how will he react?"
"Will it affect his future and prospects?"
Instilling his will into Cagalli bit by bit, Wang Hu seemed so caring and open-hearted.
It's totally a tone of doing it for your own good.
"I see."
There was a little spirit returning to his eyes. In front of him was Orb's promise to help him successfully restore his country, and behind him was the concern of his blood brother's future.
Cagalli convinced herself, for Orb and her brother.
I will endure no matter what happens.
If it's for Orb and his brother, then am I important?
Even if I am no longer myself, it is worth it.
He smiled and let go of Cagalli.
Wang Hu retreated into the shadows of the house and looked at the girl in front of him who looked a bit like she did during World War II.
"I'm Wang Hu, not Yuna."
"Perhaps this is the best news for you."
