The sudden question caught Nono off guard, although the man's tone still sounded like a boss asking the person in charge of the company about the completion status of relevant projects.
"Maybe he will go back to China or go on vacation in the Gulf of Guinea, who knows for sure." The red-haired witch shrugged casually, her tone relaxed.
"Let's go home first." Home? Chen Motong felt that this word was strange and ironic. She calmly raised her head and looked at the man on the phone screen.
It seems that he wants the man to see something in his eyes.
"Okay." She responded coldly. The call was hung up quickly. It seemed that neither father nor daughter wanted to spend more time to compromise and maintain the so-called family relationship.
The girl with long dark red hair leaned against the big tree and looked at the sky through the wide gaps between the green palm leaves. The cool breeze rustled the leaves and swept away the flying hair from her ears and temples.
There was no sadness or grievance on Nuonuo's beautiful face, because these emotions had been eliminated when she was very young.
But she often thought of that woman's face, that ordinary and timid woman who begged just to let the manor guard see her daughter.
It's a pity that she died later. She died in a dilapidated hut due to poverty and parasitic infection. She just stared at the ceiling blankly, waiting for death to come. She only heard the sound of breathing becoming heavier, like a drumbeat. Old bellows.
I was still very young at that time, but I could still see clearly that a terrifying shadow emerged from the gloom, pulling out the woman's soul, and the woman's heavy and rapid breathing stopped abruptly.
Then ended the summer without the chirping of cicadas and the girl's ignorant childhood.
"Nono!" A soft voice interrupted the girl's solitude. She turned her head and saw that the aluminum window on the second floor of the villa was opened, and then she poked her little head out.
"Come and drink Susie's stewed pork ribs soup. It's delicious! The corn and red dates are also sweet." Zhao Xi's silver teeth curled up, and a heartless smile appeared on her fair and beautiful little face.
"Here we come." The red-haired miko responded angrily and walked towards the dormitory. However, in the unnoticed field of vision, the corners of her calm and restrained mouth slightly curved in pleasure.
"Susie, why did you put one portion into the box?" After calling Nono, Loli turned around and saw the quiet and gentle girl carefully scooping up the pork ribs soup with the bones and meat and eating it. In the box.
"I know, I brought it to President Chu, right? I really envy him for having a virtuous and skillful assistant." At some point, Alijie also smelled the fragrance and stood by the cafeteria door. Forget about bumping into Chris who was confused next to her.
Then he laughed out loud at the girl's confused expression.
"Begging for a beating." The girl's fair neck was stained with crimson, and she gave her an angry look.
"You mean, President Chu Zihang, who has a stiff facial expression?" Chrissy finally reacted and roughly imitated Chu Zihang's usual appearance in front of everyone, making Alijie laugh even more joyfully. .
"It's facial paralysis!" she laughed.
"It's just the kind of facial paralysis that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." Feeling the cold gaze from Susie, Alizee immediately added.
"Hey, Zhao Xi, what are you doing?" While several girls were teasing each other and having fun, Nono entered the room and saw a little Lolita wearing a cute Lolita skirt digging around in the cupboard and found one too. Pack a lunch box.
"I also want to pack one for the young master." She smiled sheepishly, and then looked at Susie with innocent eyes, as if asking for her permission.
"I'm really impressed by you." Susie walked over and touched her fair and delicate forehead with her index finger angrily.
"It's really hard for you to remember Classmate Li." Alijie was teasing again. During this period, Zhao Xi ate, drank and played with them. She almost thought that this girl had forgotten why she came to Kassel College. of.
Zhao Xi smiled and said nothing.
"Classmate Li, is this Li Longyuan?" Chris, who enrolled in school midway, didn't know much about various things in the college. Even the famous figures in the Night Watch Forum knew very little.
"Yes, didn't you meet him when you first entered school?" Alijie and the others had all participated in the war practice class and knew about Chris's admission process.
"Yes." The girl murmured. In fact, I should have known Li a lot earlier, having met at the Chicago train station.
"What's the matter? Comment?" When Alizee saw the girl was distracted, the fire of gossip immediately ignited in her eyes.
Zhao Xi, who was still ladling soup, raised his ears alertly, fearing that someone would say bad things about the young master.
"He...he is a very good person, and he...saved me." The blond girl turned red and hesitated.
However, what the girl recalled in her mind was that when she was held hostage, the young man with bright golden eyes spread his hands wantonly in the dark night and said those words coldly.
"Either you kill her now, and then I will kill you, or you stand there and don't move, waiting for me to kill you." The expression on the boy's face at that time was like a tyrant, powerful and cold, and with a look of disregard for human life. Like a careless indifference, like a god standing high above.
"Yes, Mr. Li is a very nice person. Just like President Chu, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." Alijie, who brought up this topic, keenly noticed the change in the girl's expression and laughed to cover it up.
In fact, the personalities of Li Longyuan and Chu Zihang are completely different. Chu Zihang has the kind of iceberg personality that remains unchanged for thousands of years, as if no one can get into his heart.
Li Yongyuan, most of the time, is shown to the outside world to have a gentle temperament, and his communicative conversation will give people a feeling of spring breeze. Therefore, he is very popular among the students of Kassel College, and even some freshmen who fanatically admire him praise him as a
"The Uncrowned Holy King". It is said that as long as he is willing, even if he just flexes his fingers to express his intention, a large number of students will gather under his command, forming a huge club no less than the Student Union and the Lion Heart Club.
But if anyone sees with his own eyes the way he occasionally turns his face and is ruthless, they can clearly feel the terrifying oppression it will cause when that face that always smiles warmly loses its warmth.
Like a monarch who makes decisions with his words, no one dares to disobey any decision he makes. It's a pity that the girls in this villa have all seen Li Yongyuan more or less
On the "tyrant" side, except for Zhao Xi who followed the young master without any trouble, they all had some psychological shadow.
It has nothing to do with anything else but the awe of the weak towards the strong. When life can be easily manipulated, it is like being grabbed by a strong hand on the neck and unable to breathe. It is a great fear.
The atmosphere in the villa suddenly became colder, and the smile on the girl's face gradually faded.
"What are your expressions on each of you? Well, this pork rib soup tastes good." Nono broke the silence.
"Senior Ye Sheng and Senior Aki Shutoku from the Executive Department are getting married. Did you know?" This topic instantly sparked the conversation in the girls' dormitory, causing them to forget about their previous unpleasantness and get back together for a heated discussion.
"Really?"
"It's rare to hear that couples in the college are getting married." As a student from China, Su Qian, who also went home for the Chinese New Year during the winter vacation, obviously knew about this, and now she sighs when she mentions it.
"Yes, there are regulations of the Executive Department, and there are frequent dragon-slaying missions." Alijie's bright eyes dimmed slightly. After all, Kassel College is not an ordinary university. When the horn of war blows, Dragon Humanity has returned from the shadow of the epic, and hybrids from all directions will answer the call and take it upon themselves to slay dragons.
They are the reserve trainees of this cruel war. They will be buried in the battlefield of blood and fire at any time. No matter how glamorous they are in daily life, they will eventually die in obscurity.
"So we should bless them all the more. Love is rare and great, isn't it?" Chrissy finally struggled out of her inexplicable embarrassment and plucked up the courage to say.
several people
The "old students" looked at each other and just smiled. The bright rays of the sun are refracted in this two-story villa, and the wind is filled with the fragrance of earth and the freshness of leaves. The rhythm is slow and comfortable.
