The brown-haired boy walked around the room. His injured head was almost healed, and the bandages were completely removed, leaving only some inconspicuous scars on his scalp.
Sandino has been looking for Cesare since he left the hospital, but he has searched all over Caliu but has not found any trace of his good brother. In the past two days, Sandino wanted to continue looking everywhere. try to find.
But for some reason, the school was suddenly closed and the whereabouts of each student were controlled. It was difficult to leave the academy for half a day without the company of parents.
At night, I would be locked up in the dormitory. Although I was anxious, I had no other choice but to wait dryly.
At this time, Sandino was staying in the room. The boy's face was full of anxiety and worry, and he kept pacing back and forth. As he thought more and more in his mind, his eyes revealed more uneasiness.
From time to time he stared at the other clean and tidy bed in the room, and from time to time he closed his eyes tightly, biting his lips and teeth tightly, leaving a deep mark.
Occasionally, he would scratch his hair with his fingers, as if he wanted to release his inner anxiety and stress in this way.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where Cesare had gone. After thinking about it, he sat back on his bed.
Although Sandino's own bed was not messy, it was wrinkled and gave off an old smell. The ground beside the bed was filled with all kinds of debris, piled high like a hill. There are scattered clothes, books, and stationery.
The space under the bed has also been utilized and is filled with all kinds of miscellaneous things, but everything has its own unique way of classification. Although there is no foot space near the entire bed, it does not look too cluttered.
The other bed in the room was as clean as if no one had ever lived in it.
That was Cesare's bed.
Since Cesare's tuition fees became increasingly tight year by year, Cesare and Sandino became roommates under the same roof.
But despite this, Cesare rarely returned to the dormitory to live. Most days, Cesare needed to work outside to earn tuition, and when it was too late, he would sleep outside.
Even when Cesare comes back from work, he stays very late. Sandino is usually already fast asleep, so the two of them don't spend much time together in the dormitory, and most of them are in class during the day. friendship.
However, in recent days, it is not just that Cesare has not been seen in the dormitory, but that Cesare has not been seen in the entire school, or even in the entire Carlo River.
The list of missing students reported by the school included the names of Cesare and his sister Crocia. Many people said that Cesare was dead, and Sandino naturally did not believe it.
But day after day passed, and Sandino never waited for Cesare to return. I am getting more and more anxious and anxious, and I can’t help but talk to myself sadly...
"Cesare...where have you been..."
But just being anxious has no effect. It is better to rest early and then ask around in the school during the day tomorrow.
Sandino rubbed his face and stretched out his hand to loosen the feather pillow at the head of the bed. He lay down with his legs curled up and covered himself with the quilt, letting his breathing gradually relax. As his body was wrapped in a thick feeling of sleepiness, Slowly fall asleep in great comfort.
"Boom, boom, boom"
I heard three muffled sounds outside the window, like someone knocking on the window. Sandino was startled, his eyes widened and he quickly looked out the window.
But there was nothing in the scenery outside the window except a few small trees. The wind had become stronger, maybe it was just the sound of the branches blowing.
Sandino wondered, slowly lying down again.
It's probably because there have been too many weird things recently, and I'm a little nervous. But just as he closed his eyes, the sound of knocking on the window sounded again, accompanied by a weak sound, as if someone called... "Hello."
Auditory hallucinations?
Sandino didn't want to pay attention anymore, but he couldn't help but glanced at the window again out of curiosity.
A "twig" appeared strangely outside his window. Sandino squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, his body reacting before his brain.
His throat slowly constricted as he sucked in the cold air. There was no "branch" there, but a hand stretched out quietly outside the window and gently knocked on his window. The hand was wrapped in a bloody bandage... only three fingers.
The hairs all over Sandino's body stood up in fear, and he jumped up from the bed with a scream. His body suddenly stood up straighter than a national guard.
The pupils narrowed into two black dots once again confirmed that it was indeed a human hand, and the body threw itself behind the table like a living loach, hiding his body with only half of his face exposed, begging loudly for mercy. shouted.
"Cesare, if you are really dead, go in peace. No, don't come back to scare me. You know I'm timid!"
Listening to Sandino's miserable scream, the arm outside the window suddenly retracted, and then bursts of laughter came from the girl. Anya jumped slightly and exposed herself at the window.
Waving his scary-looking left hand, he greeted Sandino in the room and gestured for Sandino to come out.
Sandino checked several times before he was sure that the girl outside the window was a living person and not a ghost. Then he pretended to be nonchalant and crawled out from behind the table. He coughed awkwardly and patted his pajamas.
The red-haired girl looking out the window seemed to remember something. He had seen Anya rescuing Cesare at the ball, so he recognized her quickly.
On weekdays, Sandino was involved in intelligence transactions among students, that is, listening to gossip, so he often heard rumors about Anya.
Skipping class in public, breaking into the library at night, and causing explosions in alchemy class. When classmates have no topic to talk about, they will always mention this elusive crazy girl from time to time.
This time, Anya's name was also on the school's list of missing students, but Anya didn't seem to have many friends in the school, and not many people cared about it.
And after thinking about it carefully, Sandino himself had nothing to do with her, so why did he come to me now? Sandino rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully. The possibility of being knocked on the window by a strange girl was very small...
Could it be...she likes me?
Although Anya's appearance is indeed one of the best in the school, her personality is a bit... There should be a process of getting to know each other in depth. Sandino closed his eyes and thought, the boy's face turned slightly red.
And he already had a girl he liked. Sandino thought of his dance partner at the ball, Miss Yvette.
That's a very beautiful girl.
