Hera's modern life - chapter 10
“Hera?” Hephaestus hesitated for a second and asked because I touched his head and didn’t say anything.
Under the light, his face was scary beyond horror. If I was not a Goddess but a 100% purebred human Han Xiaole, I would definitely be scared dumb. However, I have been used to it for tens of thousands of years. His eyes were big and dark, his face was completely out of tune. Every time I looked at him, I always thought of the little deer that I saw when I was a girl playing in the woods.
“Nothing, I am very happy to see you.”
I tiptoed and touched his face. I wanted to ask him why he had run, but swallowed my words. In any case, knowing that there was still someone in the world who cared about me silently and remembered me, was very healing.
His height could go beyond Yao Ming’s and overcome Schwarzenegger’s head. He held one of my hands in his big, amazing palm. His palm was very rough like an old man, which was the result of holding a hammer for a long time.
“Hera, I am here to pick you up. Olympus can’t do without you.”
With a bitter smile, I muttered, “Olympus can be without me, maybe everyone will feel more happy without Hera.”
He still wanted to say something, but I pulled his arm and dragged him out, deliberately using a more relaxed tone, “Don’t say anything, you rarely come to the world. It’s rare for you to come once, so we should go shopping together. We have never gone shopping together.”
Probably my proposal was too shocking. You have to know that Olympus didn’t have any supermarkets and street markets, and Hera was definitely not someone who would walk on the street while holding hands and eating snacks. I used to rarely go out. The only time I needed to, was to show off the carriage Zeus gave me. At that time, I used to wear armor and hold a long knife. All the gods would hide as far as they could, lest they accidentally taste my anger.
“This is not very good.”
He cringed and tried to hide his face in the shadow of the street, but I reached out, “Like the mothers and children in the world, don’t you want to be with me?”
He didn’t talk. In order not scare off humans, I waved my hand to make his height shorter, and then modified his face, so that although it still looked bad, at least not scary.
“Let’s go.”
I changed back to Han Xiaole, I dragged his arm and went out. Remembering to call Wang Li, I decided to do that later.
So I took my son and hung out on the street happily, even though he looked more like my uncle. I also took the initiative to buy a local snack burrito for him, he hesitated to pick it up, and slowly took a bit from it. I think it might not be possible to adapt to this amazing change for the time being, because Hera wouldn’t treat him like this.
I am Hera, but I am also Han Xiaole. Despite all the memory and power of Hera, I didn’t think that I could do anything to turn human hair into a viper or to plague a kingdom. The personality that dominates this body was still Han Xiaole’s. If it was Hera, she would have been angry and rushed back to Olympus to find Zeus.
“You and, um, how is your wife?”
I felt a little embarrassed to find a topic to talk about, because the failed mother Hera didn’t know what he liked.
He whispered, “I don’t care about her, she doesn’t like to come back to see me, that’s fine.”
“Is she still mixed with Ares?”
A little headache, if it was any other god, I have a way to let the adulterer disappear into the shadowless. The object of my daughter-in-law derailment was my other son, known as the war God who had been rebellious for many years, no matter what I say. I could kill Ares.
Hephaestus smiled a bit, “No, she seems to have found the reincarnation of Adonis in the world, and is now busy shooting for magazine cover.”
I couldn’t help but feel angry when I heard his words. Wasn’t it too shameful for her to chase a human that ignored her? Maybe I should send a Cyclops or other monsters to teach her?
“No, Hera, don’t do anything,” Hephaestus took my hand and said very earnestly.
“Don’t let her lose her reason. This is an inappropriate marriage, so I almost don’t interfere with her pursuit of the happiness she wants. It doesn’t make me feel unhappy. But if you – my mother, the Goddess of Olympus, do stupid thing in your anger, and angered Zeus, that is my greatest misfortune.”
After a few seconds, I patted his hand and sighed, “Yes, you are right, thank you, Hephaestus.”
‘If anyone could see the beautiful soul under his ugly face, why were the good people always unlucky, and those shameless guys were always proud?This world was too unfair,’ pulling my son’s hand, I thought indignantly.
