"He is simply a villain!"
After class, Zena couldn't help but complain.
Her best friend Ba'er immediately made a silence gesture: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Miss West is elusive. What if she suddenly appears behind you?"
This is very true,
Zena actually glanced back subconsciously.
Seeing her actions, Ba'er couldn't help but chuckle,
"Okay~ No, no."
Zena glared at the other party, then put on a bitter look and muttered: "My copy of The Scotsman has been taken away, what should I do..."
It's just a newspaper, is that all?
Ba'er was very curious,
"What? Do you really want to get the newspaper back? Is this series so exciting?"
Zena nodded,
"Well, this time "The Hobbit" can even be watched by a coward like you."
Ba'er rolled her eyes at the other person and said, "Who is a coward? I'm just... I'm just a little scared~ Who made "No Survival" so oppressive?"
Zena did not answer,
She is deep in thought,
What her best friend just said reminded her,
Perhaps, I should really get the newspaper back, otherwise I won’t know how to get through the afternoon class.
In Zena's eyes, few courses in girls' schools are truly interesting.
Bar touched Zena's shoulder,
"What's wrong?"
Zena stood up suddenly and said, "We'll talk about it later. I have to go find Mr. West now... ahem... find Ms. West."
Ba'er looked confused.
"Are you crazy?"
The early 20th century was not a modern era that paid attention to property law.
In modern times, teachers don’t dare to say “confiscated”, they only dare to “help keep it”.
At the beginning of the 20th century, it was really difficult to get things taken away by teachers, even in Europe.
(Although the probability of "helping keep it" to return it is not high.)
Zena spread her hands,
"Well, I have to go."
No way, the story of "The Hobbit" is too fascinating.
She didn't talk nonsense to Ba'er and left the classroom directly, heading towards the teacher's office building on the other side.
It is said to be an office building, but in fact the building is not very high, only two floors.
Because Britain is considered a relatively conservative country among the European powers, more girls receive home education. Not many families are willing to spend money and energy to send their children to girls' schools. As a result, the schools are small in size and have few teachers. So pitiful.
Zena enters the door,
The teachers present looked at her curiously.
There are not many students in the office building.
Zena endured the pressure brought by all the gazes, looked around, found Sister West's office, and walked quickly.
She came to the door, but unexpectedly found it ajar, so she knocked cautiously.
However, no one in the house responded.
Zeina was worried that her grandma was not there. Although she knew that Yu Li was not suitable, she still looked in through the crack in the door.
I saw grandma sitting at the table, reading something carefully.
She was so absorbed that she didn't hear the knock on the door.
A strange premonition arose in Zena's heart,
To confirm her suspicion, she cleared her throat loudly and knocked on the door a second time.
Dong dong dong——
As a result, there was still no response.
Looking through the crack in the door, you can see that Grandma is reading more seriously, bending lower, squinting her eyes, and seems to be pressing her face to the table.
Seeing this in her eyes, Zena couldn't help but be speechless.
"Tsk..."
She was already 100% sure that Mother West was reading The Hobbit.
That one is so attractive.
Zena suddenly had a mischievous idea, quietly opened the door, walked slowly behind her grandma,
During the whole process, grandma didn't notice any noise.
Zena coughed lightly,
"Ahem...Ms. West."
Grandma's whole body trembled, and she suddenly sat up straight, like a cat with fried fur, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on the skin on the top of her exposed wrist.
She turned around and saw that it was Zena, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you...um...why didn't you knock on the door when you entered the house?"
Mammy put on a majestic expression,
At the same time, he quietly folded the supplement of The Scotsman into a small piece.
Zena put on a face that was about to cry,
"Madam, I knocked on the door. I knocked on the door more than a dozen times outside."
Actually only twice,
But the girl expected that her grandma would not know the real situation, so she directly activated the actor's unique skill, crying whenever she wanted to, and giving the other party a mark of power.
Sure enough, grandma was a little panicked.
She didn't want to make her child cry, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Why did you come to me?"
Of course, Zena couldn't let the other party lead her.
She continued to play off the topic, inviting the actors to come forward, her eyes were like faucets that could not be turned off after being turned on.
Just now it was just pear blossoms with rain, but now it's a torrential downpour.
Tears fell down hard,
The tears flowed down the cheeks to the chin, then fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Woooooooo..."
The girl's cries echoed in the office.
The most terrible thing is that Zena also deliberately controlled the volume to suppress the crying, but still allowed the crying to be faintly heard.
This intermediate state is very well grasped.
"hiss……"
Grandma took a breath of cold air.
"Don't...um...what do you want to do?"
If she were in a church or a convent, her attitude towards Zena would not be so kind,
But girls’ schools are different, and you still have to pay attention to some influences.
Zena felt that the heat was almost done.
She sobbed and said: "Ms. West, I did knock on the door for a long time just now, please stop wrongly accusing me~"
Grandma nodded repeatedly,
"No, I won't accuse you unjustly."
Zena then said: "I came to you because I wanted to return the Scotsman. That newspaper actually does not belong to me, but to my sister. As you know, my relationship with my sister is very good..."
What follows is a long series of past years,
As grandma listened, she felt something was wrong.
If this continues, Zena will be able to recall how her sister took care of her when she was a baby.
Mammy interrupted: "Anyway, you want to take The Scotsman back, right?"
Zena stopped talking and said, "That's right."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Grandma's face.
She pondered for a moment,
"no."
Zena didn't expect this,
"ah?"
Grandma smiled and said: "You just recalled the childhood days of you and your sister. You should know how difficult it was for your sister to become an actress. Now that you can receive education in a girls' school, how can you not cherish it so much?"
Zena didn't expect that the other party would play the emotional card, and her face fell.
"this……"
Before she finished speaking, grandma spoke again: "Of course, it's not like I can't return the newspaper to you."
Zena's eyes lit up,
"Ms. West, thank you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and took away the Scotsman.
But Mammy held down the newspaper and said, "But not now. You still have to accept some punishment, so come to me after school today."
Zena was stunned,
"After school?"
Grandma was too lazy to say anything more, she just waved her hand and asked Zena to leave the office.
The so-called "one force can defeat ten societies",
No matter how thick your arms are, they are not as thick as your thighs.
Students at the beginning of the 20th century could not defeat their teachers no matter what.
Zena couldn't help but slumped her shoulders,
"Ms. West, thank you."
She turned and walked out of the room.
The moment the door was closed, Grandma's voice came from inside the house: "This Gandalf is so handsome..."
