Younis walked out. Today, she was wearing a pink coat, leather boots on her feet, carrying a black women's bag, and her chestnut shoulder-length hair seemed to have a certain luster in the sunlight.

Her dress was really suitable and always showed the sweet and charming temperament of her age group just right.

In addition...

Last time they met, she was wearing black, which was a protective color to maintain distance.

It can be imagined that she also had some resistance in her heart when she was "arranged" for a blind date last time.

But this time, she chose a softer color, indicating that she hoped to further close the distance with him in her heart and liked to spend time with him.

Karun smiled slightly.

He felt that his "professional analysis" was really a bit of a mood killer.

Although this was a blind date arranged by his grandfather, and judging from Younis's mother's attitude, she should have received instructions from her family;

But Karun still hoped to make everything run as smoothly as possible. This was responsible for her and also responsible for himself.

"Mr. Karun, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is my mother."

"But you two look like sisters when you stand together."

The words of the mother-in-law who praised her in the last life were still fresh in this era.

"Oh, hehehe..." Mrs. Jenny couldn't help but laugh again.

"Mom, Mr. Karun complimented you for being young."

"Of course, I can understand." Mrs. Jenny instructed, "Be careful."

"Okay."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Jenny looked at Karun, stretched out her hand, pointing at him, but seemed to realize that this gesture was inappropriate, and withdrew her finger and changed it to a fist:

"You need to safely send Younis back before it gets dark."

"Don't worry, Madam."

Karun took the initiative to open the co-pilot seat.

"Thank you."

Younis got in the car.

Karun also got into the driver's seat and started the car.

When the car was about to leave Rhein Street...

Karun said:

"Oh, by the way, Mina's stomach was uncomfortable, so she couldn't come."

"Oh..." Younis covered her mouth, blushing slightly. She should have asked this question first.

Karun looked at her expression.

She pouted slightly and said generously:

"I know Mina won't come."

"Yeah, she is a well-behaved and obedient little sister."

"Also my excellent student."

Everyone was "adults", and some things were tacit.

"By the way, the poetry collection that Mr. Karun gave me last time that Mina brought, I really like it.

Summer birds fly to my window and sing, and then fly away.

The yellow leaves of autumn have nothing to sing, they just sigh and fall.

It's a beautiful mood, Mr. Karun."

Last time, Younis gave Mina a family-style wallet, so Karun naturally chose to give a return gift. The return gift was a cat-shaped pendant hanging on an exquisite notebook.

Then, Karun copied a lot of Tagore's poems in the notebook.

"Thank you, but the human spirit and the human itself are not overlapping, especially in the form of poetry, many times it is just a momentary reverie. In fact, most of the time, I cannot achieve that state of mind.

Just like this world has wind, clouds, rain, fog, and frost, our lives are enriched by their embellishments, but they also become complicated because of their existence, and cannot always be pure."

"You said it very well, Mr. Karun."

"You can call me Karun, and I'll call you Younis."

"Okay."

"Mr. Karun... Karun, do you believe in religion?"From Puerh, Karun learned that the "Allen" family actually did not have a specific religious heritage. This family was very democratic in terms of faith. After the children reached adulthood, they could choose their own beliefs based on their own desires, which was different from the common practice of the whole family believing in one religion.

"I'm sorry, I haven't found my faith yet. I think I can wait until I walk a little further and see more scenery, and mature and settle down a bit more. By then, I will probably have enough knowledge to choose a faith that suits me."

"Really? Like me, Karun."

"Is that so? Which church are you more interested in?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking me this?"

"I think I can deepen my understanding of it."

"But shouldn't faith be something you find for yourself, just like what you just said, Karun? So, what you just said doesn't count, right?"

"But I believe that the god I am destined to believe in will send a beautiful angel down to give me the torch of faith when he thinks it's appropriate."

Yunis bit her lip and held back a laugh.

Karun silently apologized to Mr. Hofen, who was just buried this morning in his heart. After all, at the bedside, he could have angered Mr. Hofen to death because of the topic of "faith". But Grandpa Hofen, who was just buried, must understand.

They arrived at the amusement park.

Karun parked the car in the parking lot, and a parking lot administrator walked over.

"Sir, hello, do you need to pay the parking management fee first?"

Karun took out a 100-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it over. Oh, he didn't have small change in his pocket. In addition, when he was driving just now, he noticed that Alfred also left a stack of money in the drawer, but there was no small change.

The administrator immediately smiled and enthusiastically said, "Thank you, sir, this is your receipt, please keep it."

Karun reached out and took the ticket and asked the administrator, "How much is the management fee?"

"It's 5 dollars, sir."

"Okay, please find me some change."

"..." Administrator.

"I'm sorry, do you have any change there? I seem to be unable to find any."

"I'm sorry, I don't have any, but you can wait for me. I'll go to the ice cream shop over there to buy an ice cream cone and break the money."

"I have some here." Yunis opened her bag and took out a 5-dollar bill.

Karun naturally reached out and took it, handed it to the administrator, and took back the 100-dollar bill he had handed over before.

"What flavor do you want?" Karun asked Yunis.

"Strawberry."

"Okay, wait here."

Karun ran over and bought a strawberry-flavored ice cream cone, and handed it to Yunis when he came back.

"Don't you want to eat it?" Yunis asked curiously.

"It's too cold, I don't want to eat it."

Yunis didn't care and licked it, "I really like sitting by the fireplace and listening to my grandpa tell stories while eating ice cream in the deep winter when I was a child."

"My grandpa likes to take me and Mina to the suburban mud pond to catch loaches in the summer."

"I think that must be fun."

"Yes."

Karun imagined the scene of Dis catching loaches and also found it interesting.

The two bought tickets and entered the amusement park.

In Karun's eyes, the projects in the amusement park seemed boring and dull, after all, they were not as exciting as the ones he was familiar with in his previous life.

But the scenery in the amusement park was good. Even in the deep winter, it had its desolate scenery.

Karun and Yunis walked side by side on the amusement park path, and neither of them was in a hurry to play the projects.For a long time, the two of them didn't speak, just walking attentively. Occasionally, Karun would glance at Yunis, and Yunis would also look back at him.

"What do you want to play?" Karun asked proactively.

Because they had already walked past half of the amusement park.

"I'm fine with anything. What do you want to play?" Yunis asked.

Karun pointed to a building with a skull sculpture in front of them.

"Haunted house, want to play?"

"I'm actually very scared, but I've always wanted to play."

"Okay."

The ticket seller for the haunted house was a young man dressed as a clown, holding a balloon and a big iron hammer.

"Two tickets for 5 coins each."

"Is it scary inside?" Karun asked.

"No, no, not at all. It's really not scary."

When handing the tickets to Karun, the ticket seller even winked at him, meaning: Don't worry, you will definitely scare the lady next to you.

At the entrance, a person wearing a ghost mask took the tickets and gestured for them to enter.

Karun and Yunis entered the haunted house. At first, it was a narrow tunnel, with classic haunted house tactics, and "little ghosts" popping up from time to time to scare you.

Karun appeared very calm; it was not because he was pretending, but because he had experienced too many incidents of the dead rising recently, so his threshold had naturally become higher.

What surprised Karun a little was that Yunis also seemed very calm, and even curiously touched the wooden "ghost face" that popped out.

However, it could be seen that she was probably playing in a haunted house for the first time, so she was full of curiosity about the furnishings and decorations inside.

Therefore, in the first half, the two of them walked through it with a sightseeing mentality.

Ahead, there was a red suspension bridge with a red light hanging on it, and occasional gusts of air blowing out beside it.

In fact, if you looked closely, you could see that there were soft pads under the suspension bridge, and the height was not high, but with this atmosphere, the effect was still good.

Karun walked in front and naturally reached out his hand. Yunis didn't hesitate to hand him her hand, and the two of them crossed the bridge together.

Halfway through, the airflow suddenly increased, like the kind of blower in a factory workshop, blowing hard at you... In fact, Karun had already heard the sound of the blower's big fan blades turning.

Yunis was blown so hard that she couldn't stand steady. Karun hugged her waist to help her maintain her balance, and as soon as he hugged her waist, the blower suddenly weakened.

Karun suspected that the ticket seller must be hiding in some corner and peeking.

Okay, this level of service quality and level was comparable to that of the Inmoleis family.

The second half of the haunted house had more religious elements, and various tortures from various religions appeared.

Yunis suddenly felt that she should be scared, so she became scared.

She would occasionally let out a slight cry, and Karun's hand would always stay on her waist to give her a sense of protection.

Finally, the two of them "saw the light of day" again.

Yunis tidied up her hair, and Karun naturally withdrew his hand.

The ticket seller boss with the balloon iron hammer came over and asked, "Do you want to buy some souvenirs to take back?"

As he spoke, he opened the box in front of him, which was full of cute skull accessories, made in a cartoonish and cute way.

Karun chose two cute skull keychains, "50 coins, thank you."

Karun gave him the money.

This was a labor fee, and it was necessary to give it.

"Karun, aren't you scared?" Yunis asked curiously.

"I'm very scared," Karun answered.

"Then how come you don't look scared at all?""I'm just holding on, hehe."

"Hehe."

If it was designed as the Naihe Bridge Yanluo Palace or the oil pan under the Bull's Head and Horse's Face, he would be able to be nervous and scared, but he temporarily doesn't have that cultural immersion feeling for the latter half of the religious horror elements.

There is a snack bar in front of them that specializes in selling meatballs. In Karun's eyes, it looks a bit like "Oden".

One person, one paper cup, and the two of them bought a lot and sat on a bench after paying.

"Is there a cinema nearby? Shall we go watch a movie later?" Karun asked.

"Sure, I'll listen to you."

After finishing the snacks, Karun and Yunes left the amusement park, drove out, and arrived at the cinema in about ten minutes.

Karun let Yunes choose the movie, and she chose a comedy that was about to start.

After buying popcorn and orange juice, Karun and Yunes went inside.

There were many empty seats inside, so they sat wherever they wanted.

The movie started quickly. It was a romantic comedy, and besides Karun, the other couples in the audience were also small couples.

Karun ate some popcorn. Hmm, it tasted good.

Then, Karun naturally pinched a popcorn and sent it to Yunes' mouth. Yunes didn't hesitate at all and opened her mouth to eat it.

Karun took back his hand.

Suddenly, Karun thought of what Ron had said about the joy of eating popcorn while watching a movie.

But this kind of rough joy can actually destroy the atmosphere at this time.

When the movie ended, Karun and Yunes walked out of the cinema together.

To read the uncut version, go to pawread dot com.

The next destination was a restaurant that Karun had chosen and was also nearby. It mainly served local dishes from Roja and had a good environment next to a river.

After sitting down in the restaurant, the waiter gave the menu to Yunes first, and Yunes handed it to Karun:

"You order."

Karun ordered a few things and handed them to the waiter. After the waiter left, Karun whispered:

"The taste is actually very ordinary."

Yunes also whispered: "Actually, I really want to taste the sour fish you made last time..."

Unfortunately, that was your ancestor's favorite.

The food was quickly served, and the two of them chatted and ate.

Karun was able to keep the atmosphere of the conversation always comfortable for the other party, and there was no awkwardness.

After eating, it was already late. Karun drove Yunes back to Rhein Street and stopped in front of Yunes' house.

Karun got out of the car first, and Yunes got out of the car without waiting for Karun to open the door for her.

Then, the two of them naturally opened their arms slightly and hugged each other.

"I had a great time today, thank you, Karun."

"I had a great time too."

It was calm, without conflicts, surprises, or that kind of heat and waves. Many times, the two of them seemed relatively quiet.

But this is the normal state of life for ordinary people, isn't it?

The two of them naturally let go, and Yunes smiled and said, "I always feel comfortable when I'm with you."

"I feel the same way."

"Then I'll go back first. My mom must be waiting for me."

"I think Madam is probably watching us outside the living room window."

"Huh?"

Karun opened his arms again and gently hugged Yunes.

"Karun, I suddenly feel very nervous."

"I feel the same way."

If you hugged that cat, you would probably be even more nervous.

They separated again;

Yunes pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the house.

"Did you hug each other?" Mrs. Janney sitting on the sofa asked with a smile.

"Mom, why don't you turn on the lights?"

"I'm afraid my shadow through the French window curtains will let you see it and affect your hug."

"How was it? My well-behaved daughter and I went on a date all day."

"I think this guy is really good at making girls happy. He must have used sweet words to make you dizzy," Yunes shook her head and said.

"I don't think so. I think he is calm and humorous. When I'm with him, I feel like I'm with my father. So, Mom, don't be biased against him, even though he's really good-looking," Yunes said.

Mrs. Jenny sighed deeply and held her forehead. "Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Yunes asked with concern.

"No, it's just that after my date with your father, I said the same thing to your grandmother, that he was calm and humorous, and gave me the feeling of being with my father. Later, I found out that your father was the real master," Mrs. Jenny said.

"But I think you were very happy with Dad," Yunes said.

"That's true. But it's good that you have a good impression of your blind date partner. I was thinking of writing a letter to decline your grandfather's arrangement, even if I have to face his serious face when I return to Vienna," Mrs. Jenny said.

"So, are our families friends?" Yunes asked.

"Yes, it started with your great-great-great-great grandmother. Since then, our families have maintained a relationship. Your father met me in Roja when he came to visit his family in Vienna, and then he took me back to Vienna," Mrs. Jenny said.

"So, his family is also the matchmaker for you and Dad?" Yunes asked.

"Yes, daughter. I think you can ask him if he is willing to follow you back to Vienna like I did. It seems that your grandfather has this idea," Mrs. Jenny said.

"I think he is a very independent person and may not agree," Yunes said before going to the bathroom.

Mrs. Jenny lit a cigarette and blew out smoke with a smile. "If he doesn't agree, how could he take the initiative to ask you out?" she said.

After sending Yunes home, Karun was about to go back to his own home when a "Cayman" stopped next to him.

"Karun?"

"Mr. Piaj?"

"Are you here to see me?" Mr. Piaj asked with a smile.

"Yes, but you weren't home just now. I was about to leave," Karun said.

"But I'm back now."

Karun entered Mr. Piaj's home again. "Are you hungry? Shall I call Linda to prepare dinner?" Mr. Piaj asked.

"No, I already ate before I came. Don't bother," Karun said.

After all, cross-dressing was quite tiring.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll go make coffee. It'll be quick," Mr. Piaj said.

"Can you cook?" Karun asked.

Mr. Piaj smiled and said, "I know what you mean. Yes, I can cook. Don't worry, it'll be quick."

Mr. Piaj went into the kitchen.

Karun saw a painting rack in the living room, with paintbrushes and palettes on the floor, covered with a white cloth.

Seeing this, Karun couldn't help but think of the religious paintings he saw on the second floor of Mr. Piaj's house last time, and the almost astonishing coincidence of their sequential arrangement.

So, I won't look at this painting.

Mr. Piaj came out with coffee and said, "This is Linda's recent work. Come and take a look."

Before Karun could refuse, Mr. Piaj had already lifted the white cloth, revealing the content of the painting.

It could be seen that the surrounding scenery of the painting was not yet complete, but the central area was almost complete.

The painting was of a high tower, and a man stood on the tower wearing a luxurious white robe with many gems embedded on it.The man held something resembling a crown in one hand and a scepter in the other, with disheveled hair. He shouted towards the sky as if calling out for something.

"This is..."

Piajie introduced, "I was curious about what the painting 'Linda' depicted, so I did a lot of research these past few days. In fact, the reason I wasn't home earlier was because I spent the entire afternoon at the city library.

Then, I found out.

The person in the painting is the last generation Pope of the Bright Church, known as the Mad Pope.

He once stood on the high tower of the Bright Church and shouted:

I don't believe there really is a God of Light in this world.

In the eyes of religious historians, his actions were equivalent to tolling the last bell of the Bright Church."

Piajie handed coffee to Karun and continued:

"So, I gave this painting a name:

'The Twilight of God'."
