Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2172

Gale would surely not choose to stay inside a tent with Baby Zetty if it was just both of them. He stood outside and was drenched in the drizzle while looking into the hazy distance. Sitting at the edge of the tent, Finn was surprised to see Gale when he looked out through the open window of the tent.

He said to Jenson, "Why isn't Gale taking shelter inside the tent, Jens?"

Jenson was baffled at this and zipped open the tent's entrance. He looked over at Gale who was standing upright outside the tent.

Gale's small body was standing motionlessly, akin to a tree, or more so like a mountain.

"Finn, I don't think Gale is an ordinary person. His standing posture reveals his perseverance and tenacity," Jenson said suspiciously.

Finn smiled and said, "If you put it that way, the granny should be even more extraordinary since Gale respects her so much. There must be something unusual about her status."

Jenson gave it a thought and said, "Gale is standing guard for two reasons. First, as you said, the granny is

someone highly respectable and has an unusual status. Hence, Gale respects her and is protecting her. But there could be another reason..."

Jenson paused for a while and said, "Perhaps Granny and Gale are not a pair of grandma and grandson.

Since Gale respects the boundary between a man and a woman, he's deliberately standing outside the tent."

Finn looked at Gale in scrutiny and said, "He doesn't look that old. How could a child his age know how to distinguish those things?"

Jenson said, "I can tell that the child matured early, so it's not very surprising that he has such an awareness."

Finn smiled and said, "Jens, you seem to like him very much."

Jenson smiled and replied, "I do admire him."

Then, he said to Finn, "Why don't you call Gale in, Finn? Let him sleep with us."

Finn got out of the tent and walked toward Gale, inviting him while saying, "Gale, my young master has invited you to come and sleep with us."

Gale chirpily went along.

While Jenson and Gale were chatting, Gale took an umbrella and went out of the tent.

He plucked off a tree leaf and placed it near his mouth, playing a tune while sharing his thoughts.

The night on the mountain was extremely cold.

Baby Zetty's immunity was rapidly deteriorating along with her aging body. Baby Zetty found that she had caught a cold after waking up in the middle of the night.

She started sneezing incessantly.

Baby Zetty sat up and suddenly heard a beautiful tune coming from outside.

Baby Zetty was very familiar with the song. It was called 'Forgetting One Another', and Finn was the one who taught her this song. She felt extremely moved when she suddenly heard the familiar melody.

She unzipped her tent and got a slightly dim flashlight. Then, she noticed Finn sitting on a stone outside the tents. He was holding onto an umbrella with one hand while he used the other to position a leaf near his mouth. He produced such a poignant melody.

Baby Zetty ran into the drizzle and went under Finn's umbrella. He stopped blowing the leaf when he saw her.

"Why'd you come out, Granny?" Finn asked curiously.

Baby Zetty looked at the leaf in Finn's hand and said," You play that song really nicely, but it sounds too sad. Why don't I play another one for you?"

Baby Zetty plucked a leaf and placed it on her lips, playing a rearranged version of 'Forgetting One

Another'.

Finn listened to the tune carefully, and the expression on his face got weirder by the second.

With a look of astonishment, he stared at Baby Zetty and said, "Granny, you're able to rearrange the melody of Forgetting One Another after listening to it just one time. You're truly talented and admirable." His words inwardly amused Baby Zetty.

Given the difficulty of this song, she could not have learned how to play it after listening to it once. Plus, she was musically illiterate. After Brother Finn taught her this song, it had taken her quite some time to get the hang of it.

Moreover, it took her even more time to make another rendition of this song.
