Chapter 188: The Words We Have Said
After sending Mineva away, Ade and Lacus returned to the car, only this time the person driving was Ade instead. According to the plan, they will take the family to Diana's palace after a short rest at home.
Today was the birthday of Dr. Aeolia Schenberg, the Queen had made a big party for him and invited all the friends and relatives they could think of. Laura told Ade in advance that Aeolia had not taken the previous dispute to heart and hoped Ade would take this opportunity to make up with Aeolia.
So the whole family went to celebrate Aeolia's birthday. Even Mineva had to leave school early to go to the party although the little girl may not feel reluctant at all.
Aeolia was just 22 years old when he joined the Antarctic research team and discovered Adam, and he is exactly 110 years old in U.C. 0088 this year. With advanced medical treatment and good maintenance, Aeolia's spirit is still robust and his brain is even clear enough to continue his scientific activities.
Of all the people Ade knew, no one but C.C. could match him in terms of longevity. However, this cannot be said in front of C.C.
When Ade was driving and thinking about how to make up with Aeolia, Lacus on the passenger side suddenly said, "Ade, do you think our family needs to buy another car?"
"Why, isn't there another one at home?" Ade unsuspectingly and casually answered, "I've changed both cars, there can't be a problem with the performance, huh? Or do you have your eye on something nice?"
"Because it's almost full if the whole family goes out together." Lacus said with a smile on her face, "In case there are a few more people in the future, why not buy it for a rainy day first?"
"This, uh should be, no, is certainly not necessary." Ade's forehead was full of sweat, "I used to say that we won't have new people to our family, but Alice can not actually be considered a new addition, right? Besides, whether Alice can be counted as a person is up for discussion, don't you think?"
"I'm not talking about Alice, I said I won't continue to talk about it." Lacus raised an eyebrow, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"
"Mineva?" Ade looked at her incredulously for a few more moments, not even caring that he was driving, "Aren't you treating her too much? How old is she? Do you need to be so oblique and subtle? I almost think that you're fighting Haman in the Supreme Convocation."
"I don't want to badmouth her, but she is really " Lacus took a deep breath and let it out again with an exhale, "really not as naive as you think, Ade, you rely too much on your NT sense."
"I know she's at the age when her secondary sexual characteristics are developing, and this is the time when female hormones are more abundant and she tends to have a hazy feeling for the opposite sex around her." Ade came up with the knowledge learned in physiological health class eloquently, "Plus Char basically didn't do fatherly duties, she is now a little fatherly complex. This is very normal "
"So you know she has a fatherly complex?" Lacus could not help but interrupt him loudly, "I thought you were the only one in the family who didn't know! So she's been clinging to you all day, and you're still following her?"
"This is about the beginning of the school year, it is normal for children to become clingy. I consider this as compensation." Ade justifiably said, "Besides, she just had her menses"
"Her menses?" Lacus couldn't help but let out a soprano voice, "Why didn't I know that? Did you help her with it?!"
"What are you thinking? Am I that heartless?" Ade gave her a speechless look, "Mineva is very understanding, most of the sensitive steps are taken care of by herself, I just helped a little. Besides, there are so many tutorials online, do you think that I, the great Doctor Lingus, can't handle this little thing?"
"I thought Ange changed the cotton sanitary napkin, so it turned out to be Mineva?" Lacus leaned back in her chair and breathed heavily. Her eyes were full of shock, "I didn't expect"
"I've checked online before, Mineva's menses came a little early. Little girls of this age have little concept of body changes and are prone to fear and insecurity." Ade patiently explained, "I also talked to her about whether it would be more appropriate for you to help her, but she said she was a little afraid of you, so I choose to respect her idea."
"Ade, I don't care about Mineva's thing." Lacus was physically and mentally exhausted. She couldn't help but sighed, "Anyway, I have promised her that I wouldn't block her way anymore. If you're imprisoned by her, ask Ange to save you. I really don't care."
Ade felt that Lacus might be slightly biased against Mineva. But considering that she was Char's daughter, Lacus' attitude to her is understandable. He has been very satisfied that Lacus could treat Mineva kindly.
"By the way, about the Laplace program." So he changed the subject stiffly, "I'm really good, aren't I? I correctly guessed that the third location is Kilimanjaro."
"Well, I always thought you were pretty good." Lacus grunted helplessly and tacitly took over the topic, "So it seems that your thinking about the whole Laplace program is correct, and it will be good to lure angels out and kill them one by one later, right?"
"That's theoretically correct." Ade nodded enthusiastically, "The key is to take advantage of this 'event' to find all the previously unexposed opposition out."
"But that's just a short-term solution." Lacus hesitated, and soon made up her mind, "Ade, Ribbons left a lot of money and contacts, you "
"You keep it, think of it as your little treasury." Ade smiled indifferently, "In case I am really gone one day, you can also support yourself."
Lacus suddenly froze, feeling a mix of emotions in her chest, not knowing what to make of her expression.
"I used to think I was a passerby, but this time, it made me" Ade smiled and shrugged, "In case I really die one day, we can't just sit around and wait for the world to be destroyed, right? So we'd better prepare for the worst ending."
"Is it that dangerous?" Lacus showed a worried look, "The Laplace program is already solved by you, aren't everything going very smooth? You're still young, it's too early to discuss this, isn't it?"
"That's true, but who knows what will come in the future. I won't be surprised if something suddenly comes out and kills us all." As they were chatting, the car had been driving to the door. Ade slowly drove the car into the garage, "Aeolia is too old, the urgent task is to teach Ayanami Rei everything we know. In case he and I are gone, there can still be someone who can stabilize the situation."
"Ade" Lacus struggled for a moment. Her pupils suddenly lit up with light, "If you fail to catch me this time, and I really end up launching the Human Instrumentality Project, will you kill me?"
"Don't say silly things, I will definitely catch you as long as I'm still alive." The car was parked in the garage. Ade turned off the engine and opened the door, "What are you doing in the Innovator form?"
"I mean if." Lacus obstinately reached out and tugged on his sleeve, "Ade, what if it really happened?"
"Then it must be my fault if it really happens." Ade turned back and gave her face a gentle pinch, "Of course I will choose to forgive you!"
Lacus weakly let go of the hand pulling at his sleeve and dropped her eyes in a daze. Ade came to the other side and opened the car door for her, smiling and extending his left hand to him.
"But what's the point of arranging these things without you?" Lacus put away the glint in her eyes, extended her right hand and elegantly rested it on his, murmuring in a voice that only she herself could hear, "It's better to let everyone die with you."
