Lily tried to turn back a few pages and found that the same article as the one on September 1st had been crossed out with black ink. This made Lily more and more confused, why did John do this?
She looked at Aiden's record of September 1st and the travel list for that time.
Campos, Hodges, Tran, Camille…
Wait, Camille?
Didn't he also find Camille at that time, and hoped that she could go out with him to look for John?
Why didn't John take her with him on this "screening tour"? Aren’t John’s teams generally fixed?
Lily flipped through the book again and found that Camille did not participate in the previous "screening rounds". Only on September 1st, Camille replaced Bana and went out with John for the "screening round".
Aiden didn't record the reason in the book, so it seemed that Lily had no choice but to ask him directly.
Dong Dong Dong...
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lily's thoughts. She quickly put the table away, got up and went to open the door.
The visitor was Xiu, and Xiu held a little girl by each hand.
Lily immediately squatted down, smiled and asked:
"Natasha, Natasha, good evening. Why did you come to me with Sister Xiu? Are you being bullied by Brother Ander again?"
Natasha and Natasha didn't rush to answer Lily, they just shook Xiu's hands that they were holding, and Lily also looked up at her.
"Um..." Xiu Xian spoke, but he hesitated a bit.
"Lily...I'm sorry, I...I'm just worried..."
"Sister Lily, sister Xiu, please don't quarrel." Natasha took Xiu's words and said to Lily with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are all a family, and we all need to be well." Natasha hurriedly followed. It could be seen that compared to her sister Natasha, Natasha was still a little nervous.
Lily understood immediately that it was Xiu who was having a bad temper and Natasha saw it, and finally pulled Xiu to reconcile with her.
Lily smiled even more happily, looked at the two sisters Natasha again and said:
"Thank you, our two lovely little ladies. You are right, you can't quarrel. We are all a family. Are you right, Xiu?"
Lily gave Xiu a step at the right time, and it was obvious that Xiu was quite embarrassed.
"Yes! Yes!" Xiu nodded immediately.
Sister Natasha and Natasha giggled immediately, letting go of Xiu's hands. The other sisters took each other's hands, and together they lightly lifted their skirts and gave Lily a simple courtesy.
"Thank you, my lovely little ladies, remember to be careful where you step when going down the stairs." Lily waved her hand and stood up.
Then she looked at Xiu, smiled and said:
"Come in and sit down?"
"Uh...Okay." Xiu smoothed his short brown-red shoulder-length hair and walked into Lily's room.
"Natasha and Natasha are getting cuter and cuter." Lily liked the sisters very much.
"Yeah, looking into their eyes, I couldn't help but say why I was losing my temper, and then...then you'll know." Xiu sat on the edge of Lily's bed, looking down a little embarrassed. Headed.
"But what happened to the two of them is really heartbreaking." Lily shook her head and sighed.
"Yeah, how could any parents be so cruel and abandon such a pair of lovely sisters?" Xiu also agreed deeply.
Natasha and Natasha are a very rare pair of twins in the orphanage. It is said that they were secretly sent to the gate of the orphanage together on a summer night of a certain year. Then the person who sent the children opened the door to the orphanage. He threw a stone wrapped in linen, alerted the caretaker on the first floor of the orphanage, and then disappeared.
In addition to discovering the twins, the guard also identified a brief letter from the linen cotton wrapped with stones. It was a confession to God and guilt for abandoning the children, as well as the names of the two children, Blue Swaddles. The one inside is her older sister Natasha, who was born slightly earlier, while the one inside the yellow swaddle is her younger sister Natasha, but she has no surname.
They were sent before the fog completely enveloped the city of London, so the teachers and director of the orphanage concluded that their parents had probably committed something, and because they predicted the unbearable consequences, they chose Sent Natasha and Natasha to an orphanage.
"Let's get back to the topic, I found a diary of John's from his room." Lily was going to talk to Xiu about John's diary, and wanted to see if John had any strange behavior from Xiu's perspective.
"John? Diary?" Xiu seemed to have heard some shocking news.
"..." Lily didn't know what to say for a moment, but she could understand Xiu's reaction. After all, a big-hearted character like John would generally be unlikely to have the patience to sit down and write a diary.
"Okay, it's just a little hard to accept. What did you find?" Xiu adjusted his expression and asked about the contents of the diary.
"Do you still remember what happened that day? After he reappeared that day, we asked him if what happened to him was right. Do you remember how he answered?" Lily asked Xiudao in return.
"Hmm... He said he didn't remember it either. He only said he saw a flowing firefly with a long tail. Well, that should be it." Xiu raised his hand and put his chin on it as he recalled.
"Well, that's what I remember, but he wrote a description like 'another world' in his diary... I think John actually remembered something, but for some reasons, he didn't tell us. "
Lily said as she came to the table, picked up John's diary, turned to the corresponding page, and handed it to Xiu to look at.
Xiu took the diary and frowned as she read it. John's writing was really... a little sloppy, but she still worked hard to finish reading the part Lily pointed out to her.
"But... why did John hide it from us?" Xiu Bai was puzzled.
"I don't know. We have two choices. First, ask him directly, but obviously we don't have this opportunity now. Second, wait for my coming-of-age ceremony."
After Lily said this, she didn't continue speaking, but just looked straight at Xiu.
The lighting prepared for each room in the orphanage is an old-fashioned dim ceiling lamp that imitates a gas street lamp, and for the convenience of children's reading and writing, desk lamps are prepared for each room.
At this time, only the ceiling light was on in Lily's room, making the whole room dim like a dying old man. The desk lamp that was originally on in the room turned off automatically after a fixed time.
Xiu raised his head slightly to look at Lily's face illuminated by the dim light, then lowered his head, exhaled a deep breath, and said in a dull voice:
"Of course I know you are right, and as you said, we may not have a choice. At least John was 'erased' without knowing it."
"I have only one request - let Aiden and I stay with you!"
Xiu raised his head again, his eyes were firm, but there was a glint in the corner of his eyes.
