On Monday, Celluloid followed Phoebe and rode a bicycle to school under the watch of Grandma Gina and Grandpa John. As they approached the school, there were gradually more students on the road, middle school students in blue and white uniforms and students in purple and black uniforms. High school students in school uniforms can be seen everywhere, walking in groups of three to five, in pairs, chatting, laughing, and noisily walking in the same direction, with blue-purple jacarandas falling constantly on their heads. The flowers, among the young girls, are really as beautiful and unreal as the youth idol school drama they watched a long time ago. The celluloid jingles the car bells, passing by the students all the way, feeling the vibrant youth. Breathing, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly for a moment, and he felt a flying and jumping mood for the first time in a long time. [To read novels on mobile phones and tablets, please visit xsw directly for faster updates and less data traffic] I fell in love with it. .
Riding into the school gate, after placing the car in the parking lot and locking it, Phoebe volunteered to send Celluloid to her class teacher and classroom. Celluloid did not refuse the kindness and help, and the two talked and laughed. They walked towards the middle school, but after walking only a few dozen meters, they were stopped by a person who jumped out from the side. After Phoebe saw the person clearly, her face suddenly dropped, and she said nothing. They took a few steps to try to get around the person, but the person quickly walked up to them and blurted out a fervent call.
"Phoebe! Good morning, you are still so beautiful today."
Phoebe couldn't ignore it as if she didn't see it now, she said calmly.
"Henry, what's the matter with you? You're blocking our way."
Celluloid looked at the boy with some surprise. Unexpectedly, he was Henry. He was above average height, neither fat nor thin. He was wearing a high school uniform, with slicked back blond hair that looked greasy due to too much mousse, and blue eyes. , he can be said to have a decent face, probably because he comes from a wealthy family and has an inexplicable self-confidence, which makes him look extremely good about himself, but in the eyes of a girl who is not experienced in the world, he is probably considered The Prince Charming type is rich and handsome on campus.
At this time, Henry was looking at Phoebe affectionately. Her long straight red hair was fluttering in the wind, her blue-purple eyes were so smart and full of energy, her diamond-shaped red lips were charming, and her face was delicate. Gorgeous but not kitsch, oh, she really deserves to be the school belle of Jacaranda Middle School. Not only that, she has good grades and excels in sports. She is a powerful figure in the school. But only Phoebe like this is worthy of her. By being his girlfriend when he was a student and taking her out, he would have both face and dignity.
But Phoebe didn't want to see him very much. She crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently on the ground frequently, with a strong momentum.
"Can't you hear what I'm talking to? I have to take Cellulu to find the teacher, so I don't have time to bother with you. Besides, your fiancée is watching you from the side."
Henry reacted for a second before he heard clearly what Phoebe was saying, "Oh, no matter what she does, the engagement between Annivette and I was made by our family. We are just acquaintances who have known each other for a long time. All I have in my eyes is You, Phoebe."
He looked affectionate and focused, but Annevette, who was watching not far away, couldn't help but walked over. She deliberately pretended not to care but with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone,
"Henry, what are you doing, not going to the classroom?" At the same time, he secretly glared at Phoebe.
Celluloid curiously observed the other heroine involved in this bloody triangle dispute. She is also a high school student. She has wavy brown waist-length curly hair and a pair of purple eyes that are as charming as amethysts. She has a gentle and beautiful face, a reserved smile with the arrogance and alienation unique to an upper-class family. Looking at it alone, this Annevette is also a well-deserved beauty, but compared to the delicate and gorgeous Phoebe, her facial features are a bit too soft and It is not three-dimensional enough, so if the two appear at the same time, people will only be attracted to Phoebe for the first time.
However, since she is a beauty, Cellululu was not surprised. Henry, who had previously said that he and Annivette were just a family member and only had Phoebe in his eyes, suddenly changed his tone and spoke to Annivette with tenderness and consideration. road.
"Annie, I'll be leaving soon. Phoebe, do you want to go to the classroom with us?" He invited again with a smile on his face.
Who is it with you? Phoebe laughed in anger. What a scumbag yet so confident and stupid man that he thought he could control two women at the same time. She said angrily.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? I want to send Celluloid to find the teacher!"
Only then did Henry notice that there was a petite and exquisite junior high school girl standing next to the tall Phoebe. He looked down indifferently, but in the next second, a stunning light burst out in his eyes. This was another unique type.
Although her appearance is not as eye-catching as Phoebe or as beautiful as Anne, she is still exquisitely beautiful. More importantly, her noble and holy temperament definitely makes up for all the shortcomings in appearance. If Phoebe is a red rose with thorns, Anne is a graceful pink rose. Peony, then this girl is the pure but holy Virgin White Lily.
If all three women were walking beside him, then... Henry could no longer stop his delusional pace, so it wasn't until Anne pinched him that he realized that Phoebe and the lily girl had left early. The girl disappeared, leaving only Annie complaining in a jealous manner.
"Why are you in a daze, Henry? You stare at Phoebe every day. What's so good about that woman?"
"What are you talking about? You are my fiancée. Of course I am looking at you. It was Phoebe who took the initiative to approach me. She always flirted with me, but she pretended not to care and made you misunderstand. ”
What does it mean to confuse right and wrong? Henry is talking about it. As soon as Phoebe left, he immediately changed his tune. If Phoebe was here at this time, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Humph, you know she is not a peaceful person. She pretends to be aloof while seducing others. You should be careful, don't be seduced by someone from such a low-class family." Annivette said arrogantly.
"That's absolutely impossible." Henry was certain of this alone. Phoebe was just an ornament that decorated his life, how could she really be worthy of him.
Not to mention the two men and women talking to themselves, Cellululu was also comforting Phoebe at this time and telling her not to get angry with them. Although the two people were indeed unpleasant, if they were just seeing these unpleasant things, , to Cellululu, I really don’t think it’s a big deal. Compared with those villains who are extremely vicious, commit heinous crimes, or are crazy and dehumanized, they can all be regarded as good and law-abiding citizens. Their small self-righteousness is not even close to the villains. The corners are not even enough.
"Forget it, let's not mention them. I just can't stand them always showing off their presence." Feibili shook her hair and left those two people behind, and sent the celluloid to her correctly. In front of the head teacher, she repeatedly asked her to have lunch together before she waved and left.
Under the leadership of the class teacher, Cellululu walked into the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2. Looking at the immature and young faces below with direct curiosity and various extremely clear and easy-to-identify emotions, Cellululu also She couldn't help but smile. No matter how exaggerated the intrigues and calculations in school were, they couldn't compare to the darkness in real society and the gray areas on the fringes. She suppressed her unnecessary thoughts, introduced herself properly, and then, under the guidance of the teacher, Sit down in your own place.
As soon as the bell rang for the first class, two or three extroverted classmates immediately tried to strike up a conversation. Cellululu also answered them one by one with a gentle voice and a smile. It seemed that the new classmate had a good personality. After a while, classmates who were curious about the transfer student gathered around and formed a circle. After answering all the curious questions, Cellululu successfully left a lasting impression in the hearts of her classmates. With the image of a good girl who is gentle, kind and polite, everyone has accepted this new classmate.
The morning class passed quickly. During the lunch break, my deskmate Kai Luo warmly invited Cellululu to join their small lunch group. She is a petite girl with orange hair and green eyes, with small freckles on her face. She looked cute and cute, and the other three people in the lunch group with her also seemed to have lively and cheerful personalities. Celluloid thought that Phoebe might come over, and was about to apologetically refuse to make an appointment, when the protagonist arrived .
"Celulu, Cellululu, let's go have dinner together." Phoebe smiled brightly outside their classroom door, waving at her and shouting loudly.
Suddenly, the sparse classroom with few people left exploded.
"Is it Senior Phoebe from the high school?"
"Why is Senior Phoebe here? Her name is Celluloid. Does Senior Phoebe know the new transfer student?"
"Senior Phoebe is so stylish and beautiful, ah~"
Kyler also grabbed Cellululu excitedly and asked fiercely: "Celulu, do you know Senior Phoebe? She asked you to come to dinner. That's great. I like Senior Phoebe very much. Introduce us, and also, can I join you to have dinner with you."
As soon as he said this, the other three girls also shouted.
"Kylor, you are so cunning. I also want to meet Senior Phoebe and have dinner with her. Cellululu, please introduce us to her."
The three girls clasped their hands together and begged with cute expressions on their faces.
Unexpectedly, Phoebe was very popular in school. Cellululu was surprised at the same time. She also led them over with a smile and briefly introduced her new classmates to Phoebe. Phoebe heard that she admired her students. Sister, with a wave of her hand, she generously asked them to eat together. The four girls cheered, thanked Phoebe and Cellulu, and followed them jumping up and down.
Lunch was served under a century-old jacaranda tree. The four girls, including Phoebe and Celluloid, sat on their knees on the lawn covered with purple fallen flowers, chattering while expressing their feelings for Phoebe. 4 admired and liked Bi, guessing about the relationship between Phoebe and Celluloid, while taking out their respective lunch boxes and spreading them all over the floor. However, after seeing Celluloid and Phoebe's lunch boxes, 4 A girl's eyes lit up.
Kailuoer asked with envy in his eyes, swallowing hard.
"Celulu and Phoebe-senpai's lunch boxes look delicious, and the dishes seem to be the same?"
Their lunch boxes contained either sandwiches or burgers, lasagna or pasta, and at most a salad mixed with a few vegetables. However, Phoebe and Celluloid's lunch boxes were full of variety. There are many, colorful, and most importantly, they look like they have never been eaten before.
"Yes, yes, what are these?" A girl with pink hair and red-purple eyes also asked.
When Phoebe heard this, she immediately hugged Celluloid proudly and started to explain it vividly like a show off.
"Uh-huh, this is a love meal made by my dear sister Cellulu. This is the sweet and sour drunken pork ribs. This is the fresh and wine-flavored fish fillet. This is the rich flavor. Brightly colored carrots, fungus, cucumber, egg and musu pork, as well as refreshing and crisp cold peanuts and celery.”
Every time she said something, several girls swallowed more saliva. By the time Phoebe finished speaking happily, a girl with short brown hair had already said it with a confused look but endless yearning.
"Although I have never heard of any of them, it sounds so powerful and delicious. I really want to try it~"
When Phoebe heard this, she immediately stopped showing off and hugged her lunch box. She looked at the schoolmates who were staring at them as if they were in an extreme struggle. Cellululu took a look and immediately picked up her lunch box. lunch box and said with a smile.
"Try my food. It's the same anyway. I eat less. Phoebe has club sports in the afternoon. She won't have enough energy if she doesn't eat enough."
She had heard that Phoebe was a major player in the tennis club and she exercised a lot every day.
"Celulu..." Phoebe looked at Cellululu with emotion. Don't blame her for being reluctant to share. She was indeed hungry. The most important thing was that she couldn't get enough of such delicious food.
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Seeing through that Senior Phoebe is a foodie, she didn't lose fans of a few girls, but her liking for Celluloid increased. The last one with green hair had a pear-shaped head. After the girl thanked her gratefully, she took the first step to take a piece of ribs from the celluloid lunch box.
"Ah, Michelle, you moved too fast." Qiola, a girl with brown hair, also quickly took away a piece of fish fillet. Seeing this, Carol and the pink-haired Vivian were not polite.
After eating the dishes made by Cellululu with happy faces, several girls also gave Cellululu some food. After all, they thought it was delicious, so they didn’t stop talking for a while and almost ate Cellululu’s bento. All empty.
But because of this, with the help of delicious food, Celluloid was completely included in the small group of four girls. Phoebe was also happy that Celluloid made new friends.
After school, Phoebe had to participate in club activities, so she had to leave late. Cellulu was new here and had not thought about whether she needed to join a club. However, although Jacaranda Middle School encourages students to join clubs, it does not force everyone to participate. So there are also members of the Go Home Club, and Vivian and Michelle in the four-person group are one of them.
The three of them walked together on the way to school. Cellululu listened to their chat with a smile on her face, and said a few words to herself from time to time. She passed by a cake shop and was salivating, and left after struggling for a while because of the woman's lifelong career of losing weight. , staying in the boutique shops on the shopping street, playing with cute jewelry and accessories, chatting with each other about which ones are more suitable and more beautiful, etc. The daily life that teenage girls should have is simple but happy, making Celluloid We also relaxed and enjoyed the fun that only this age can have.
Cellululu walked around the street with a smile on her face, but at the next moment, her smile faded slightly. She looked at the woman who was holding a piece of paper and seemed to be anxiously asking people around. For a moment, she felt familiar but For a moment, she didn't remember who it was. It wasn't until the woman let go of the person in her hands in disappointment and walked towards them again that Cellululu recognized that she was one of the female tourists who came to their store to buy a lot of lacquerware.
Two voices sounded at the same time.
"Are you the guest? Hello." Celluluo greeted with a smile. This was the female guest who loved taking photos and liked crafts, but she didn't see it.
"Hello little sister, have you seen this big sister?"
The tourist who loves to take pictures looked a little haggard. He came up with a photo and asked. When he heard what Cellululu said clearly, he just replied with a slightly slow reaction, "Are you... the little girl from the lacquer shop?" ", and continued to ask impatiently. "Have you seen the person I was with? She's gone."
Cellululu's smile suddenly stiffened. What Jerry said a few days ago immediately came to her mind. She looked down at the cute and bright woman in the photo. A few days ago, she was excitedly discussing lacquerware with her. , but now he’s missing?
"When did she disappear? Did you call the police?" Cellululu asked quickly.
The woman probably didn't have anyone to talk to, so when someone asked her, she didn't hide it and just told her.
"It's been three days. I called the police, but the police searched all over Jacca Anda and found no one. Now they can't see anyone alive or dead. Bah, bah, what kind of corpse? Amy must be fine." She sighed to herself. A few times, but his eyes were still slightly red.
Vivian and Michelle looked a little strange. Michelle, who didn't want to cause trouble, pulled Celluloid and urged in a low voice.
"Celulu, let's go. We haven't seen her, so we can't help."
"Yes, big sister, you can ask someone else, we are going home." Vivian said to the woman taking the photo, and stepped back.
Celluloid really couldn't help, and both Michelle and Vivian were quite resistant, so they could only comfort the woman taking the photo and left with the two of them.
On the way, Cellululu was silent for a while, but couldn't help but ask.
"What happened to you just now? You reacted so strangely."
The two looked at each other for a while before Michelle whispered.
"We are often stopped on the road and asked if we have seen missing people. It happens once every few months. Moreover, there are actually people missing in the school. Although it has happened several years ago, it is already the first time. Three people disappeared for no reason, and we felt scared, but the adults all thought it was no big deal and just told us to pay attention to our own safety."
Vivian nodded, "Yes, people like tourists are asking. Teachers and adults also said that the missing people in our school ran away from home and went out to explore. I don't know about the others, but the first Two missing girls. She was in the same class with me in elementary school. She was a very timid and cowardly person. It was impossible for her to run away from home for fun. However, the police and her parents both believed that she would always come back in the future. Other classmates and I I didn’t dare to say it.”
Because children have less exposure to things and have not developed the insensitivity to society that is commonplace and strange, they are sometimes more sensitive than adults on certain issues. Obviously, they have already dimly understood that there is something wrong with Jacques Anda. I feel it, but the adults don't pay attention to it because they are blinded. But if this trend continues, one day someone will find something wrong. But, what truth is hidden behind this disappearance, and this truth And whether it can be solved in the end, Cellululu is not sure at all. The public is easy to be led and deceived. If there is really a big shot who is blocking the sky, even if someone does find out that something is wrong one after another, they will be whitewashed in various ways. Peace covers the past, and even if you have doubts in your heart, you don't dare to pursue it anymore.
Cellululu's thoughts swirled for a moment, but in the end she pretended that nothing happened and comforted the two of them, telling them not to think too much. It was just a coincidence. Telling them part of the truth would only increase their fear and would not help.
Vivian and Michelle didn't want to talk about this topic, so they quickly pretended that nothing happened. After the next intersection, the three of them said goodbye and left because they were going in different directions.
In the evening, when Phoebe got home, Cellululu tentatively asked about the missing people in school, but Phoebe, a girl with a big heart, once again made Cellululu realize how thick her nerves were. She did know. Someone disappeared, but because this happened in the past four or five years, and the teachers said that they went out to explore the world, Phoebe actually believed it, and expressed with excitement that she had actually thought about going out to explore the world. Cellululu slapped her back and told her not to have any whims.
Phoebe left angrily. Celluloid thought about it for a long time, but had no clue, so she had no choice but to give it up.
The disappearance of a person did not cause any ripples in Jakaanda. Even within two days, the woman who took the photo disappeared. She must have given up and left. Of course, there was another possibility that Celluloid refused to think about.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. School life gradually got back on track, and she got along well with her classmates. Carol and the other four were inseparable from her, but Cellululu discovered that she had an extra one. It was not a minor trouble, but the self-righteous Henry seemed to be interested in her. At first, Celluloid didn't take it to heart. After all, Phoebe was present most of the time when she met this Henry, but the few times she met Henry alone, He was always like a peacock, openly and covertly showing off his appearance, power and wealth, and constantly hinting at her to throw himself into her arms. Only then did Cellululu suddenly realize that this scumbag had gone from delusional to trying to get both sides. It's three boats.
And Annevette, who was actually keeping a close eye on her fiancé, was inevitably bumped into by the celluloid several times, and had to listen to her accusations, insinuations, and all kinds of sarcasm and insinuations about her countless times. Don’t imagine the sparrow turning into a phoenix and flying on the branches with harsh words.
It was only then that Cellululu realized that it was not unreasonable for Phoebe to be disgusted with these two people. They were really made for each other. They felt that the world should revolve around them, and they had their own weird logic in their minds.
That Henry had the ability to keep harassing her, thinking about getting her, and at the same time, he said arrogantly and complacently that I let you hook up with me. You are lucky, you should take the initiative, and at the same time, he can be in Annevette When he showed up, he shamelessly said that Celluloid was trying to seduce him. Even though Celluloid was at the scene, he had no guilt at all, and Annivette could really turn a blind eye and believe Henry's words. Celluloid was sarcastic and sarcastic. At this time, Henry would never say anything. What's even worse is that next time, Henry would still be able to continue to harass her shamelessly without any feeling, showing that he was willing to gift Cellululu to become his daughter. The noble meaning of friend.
Although these two people are not evil people, even Annevette dislikes her and Phoebe so much, and has never caused any campus bullying incidents, but Celluloid is really insensitive to these two people. Fortunately, the junior high school and The high school department is not in the same teaching building. Cellululu has reduced her stay on campus and finally meets them less often. After all, she doesn't even join the club anymore.
After all, she was also a part-time worker at the lacquerware house. Even though John did not force her to spend a lot of time on lacquerware inlays every day, and only gave her a loose guideline of two or three pieces every two months, the celluloid She was not a person who pushed beyond her limits, so every day when she came home from school early, she would spend time doing mother-of-pearl inlays.
Her dedicated efforts have resulted in several more works that can be sold, but the materials in stock are almost exhausted. John has proposed recycling abalone shells to several restaurants on her behalf, but in addition to the abalone shells, the stone-like materials are Shell materials such as cassia and luminous snail are rarely available, but for the sake of color balance and beauty, these types of shells are also indispensable, so Celluloid once again thought of going to the beach to 'pick up' shells.
Speaking of which, half a month has passed, and that man probably won’t appear again. Although Cellululu thought so, she didn’t dare to take the risk. Fortunately, the coastline of Jacca Anda was very long, and she wanted to find a few secluded and deserted places. It was not difficult to find a beach with people. After a few days, Cellululu finally couldn't hold back and went to a more secluded and uninhabited beach.
I didn’t meet anyone on the road, and there was no one on the beach. Cellululu waited for a while. Except for the whistling sea breeze, she was the only one standing stupidly. Okay, don’t be so nervous. Cellululu will still The shoes and socks were put aside and then entered the water.
Still effortlessly borrowing the power of the rip current to send her a way, Cellululu successfully arrived at another sea area slightly away from the last sea area thirty minutes later. However, the scenery on the seabed was basically the same and still beautiful. Coral and various beautiful marine creatures, Cellululu touched a few shells and prepared to return. However, suddenly, a colorful but black fragment passed by the corner of her eyes. The familiarity made Celluloid Lulu stopped immediately, and driven by curiosity, she swam towards that place.
She picked up the palm-sized fragment that caught her attention from a cluster of sea anemones swaying like red sunflowers. The next moment, Cellululu opened her eyes in surprise. No wonder she felt familiar. It was a fragment of mother-of-pearl lacquerware, with part of the luminous conch embedded in the smooth black lacquerware. Apart from her, no one in this world should have made such a thing. How could it be turned into fragments and lying a few meters away from Jacca Anda? Dozens of kilometers under the sea? Did any of the customers who bought her stuff break the lacquerware and throw it into the sea? It couldn't have been a shipwreck anyway, as passenger ships are not accessible in the waters near Jakaanda.
Cellululu felt a little unhappy that her hard work had been let down. She carefully looked at the patterns on the lacquerware. So far, she had only made about twenty pieces of mother-of-pearl lacquerware, and sold even less. , it can be said that she still remembers every work, and she also remembers who bought her lacquerware. Celluloid looked at the patterns. The next moment, her eyelids suddenly twitched and her pupils shrank severely.
This pattern is part of a peacock perched on a peony. Most of the snail fragments are flowers, and only a very small part is the blue feathers of the peacock. Cellululu remembers that she has only made one piece of lacquerware related to this pattern, that one A pair of peacocks perched on peonies and butterflies, a flying comb box, and the person who bought it was the missing woman who loved crafts!
