After returning to the small town of Radbila, it took Jamie nearly a week to recover. When the shadow of the curse gradually left them, life returned to its original state.
Winnie successfully obtained her driver's license and bought a car she liked before school started.
"So cute."
Lisa smiled and looked at the various doll ornaments in Winnie's new car. She had replaced the seat covers and floor mats with fresh and pink styles. If it wasn't summer, Winnie would have to install the sunflower cushion.
Aunt Sarah, who lives across the road, said: "Isn't it too childish?"
Sarah's house is directly opposite Winnie's house, only separated by a road. Divorced and living alone, I am very busy at work and occasionally meet up with neighbors to chat.
"It's too childish for children, but it's just right for me who is about to go to college." Winnie said with a smile.
Sarah froze for a moment, then laughed out loud along with Lisa.
While he was smiling, a moving company car drove over and stopped in front of the empty house on the right.
The three of them looked over. A man got out of the car following behind him. After getting out of the car, he walked to the back of the car to open the trunk and get something. The back door opened, and a beautiful woman in a champagne dress came out holding a baby.
The man took out the stroller from the trunk and pushed it to the woman, so she bent down and put the baby in her arms into it.
"A new neighbor has moved in." Lisa looked at them, "and they have a baby with them."
"A few days ago, I did seem to see a housing agent showing people the house." Sarah said.
Winnie couldn't help but think of those horror movies in Europe and America that either took place when moving, or when traveling, and wasn't she just "bumping into ghosts" when she moved here? Although it was the next door neighbor who actually "bumped the ghost".
I hope she's overthinking it. With so many people moving every day, she won't be so unlucky to meet her again.
Winnie had a dull reaction to the arrival of her new neighbors, but Lisa, who was about to be a mother, was quite interested in them. Judging from the size of the baby, she was probably only a month or two old. She was at the peak of maternal love and was interested in all babies.
They just moved in today and the house was busy, so Lisa didn't bother her. She went to visit the new neighbor the next day with a small gift.
Mia, who was doing housework at home, was very confused when she heard the knock on the door. They just moved in yesterday, and they didn't expect someone to visit today. She responded casually: "Here, please wait a moment."
The door opened, and standing outside was the woman I had seen in the yard next door yesterday. She was smiling brightly and holding a bear doll in her hand.
Mia was very wary of strangers because of previous encounters, and her smile was not enthusiastic: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Lisa smiled kindly: "Hello, I am your neighbor who lives in the second house on the left." She pointed in the direction of the house, "I'm here to get to know you. I hope I won't disturb you."
She said and handed over the doll in her hand: "I prepared this for my baby. It's brand new." She put her hand on her unprotruded belly and smiled.
Mia's attitude softened a lot when she heard that the other party was a pregnant woman. And the last time was a complete accident. Their family was not the target of the evil cult in the first place. It was a completely unreasonable disaster.
Now that you have moved to a new home, you should still maintain friendly relations with your neighbors.
"Oh." Mia smiled sheepishly and took the doll, "Please come in, don't mind if the house is not tidied up yet."
Lisa made a new friend, Mia Gordon, who is also the mother of a baby, and they chatted quite happily. Although Lisa has the best relationship with Winnie, in her eyes Winnie is still a girl, and it is not convenient to talk to Winnie about marriage and parenting. Jamie and Winnie were both very happy for Lisa. It was better to have a friend they could talk to than staying at home alone watching TV.
"She is very easy to get along with, but the dolls in the children's room scare me a bit." Lisa said while lying on the bed.
Jamie noticed the keyword and looked over keenly: "What doll?"
Lisa turned sideways and patted Jamie and said: "Mia likes to collect dolls. She has an out-of-print doll at home. I heard it is difficult to buy. But I think that doll is scary."
Since the Mary Shaw incident, Lisa has had a psychological shadow on things like puppets. But after all, it was someone else's hobby, and it was still an out-of-print collection. It was not easy for her to say disrespectful words. The worst she could do was stay away from the baby's room when visiting Gordon's house.
Jamie thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, there is not a Mary Shaw hiding in all the dolls, and she has been eliminated by us, hasn't she?"
Pregnant women should still stay in a good mood, so Jamie mentioned another thing: "Winnie is about to start school."
When Lisa mentioned this, she sat up from the bed and said enthusiastically: "Yes, I also prepared a gift for the first semester! We will treat her out to a big dinner on the first day of semester to celebrate her welcoming a wonderful college life!"
After hearing this, Jamie did not object but said: "Then, you can start choosing a restaurant from now on. She is a gourmet."
…
Soon, Winnie ushered in her college life.
Winnie is quite looking forward to campus life. For her, as long as there are no ghosts and no battle royale, every ordinary day is extremely beautiful.
The first day of school should be more low-key, so Winnie chose simple clothes, a design short-sleeved shirt and slim-fitting jeans. After eating milk and fried eggs for breakfast, I picked up my schoolbag and drove to school.
The university she studies is not far from where she lives. If you drive, you can get there within 10 minutes without traffic jams. While waiting at a red light, the car parked on Winnie's left rolled down its rear window, and the boy she had met several times greeted her.
"Good morning Miss Green."
There was a smaller girl sitting next to the boy. The little girl looked very cute. When she saw Winnie, her eyes immediately lit up. She made signs with her hands and asked her brother who she was.
Winnie smiled at the child's mother who cast a doubtful look and said, "Good morning."
The woman also smiled politely: "Good morning."
Judging from the thoughtful look on the woman's face, she must be recalling who Winnie is.
The green light turned on and the two cars quickly drove away. Only then did the child's mother ask her son who the person was. In her memory, she probably had never seen Winnie.
Daniel restlessly poked the back of the front seat with the toe of his shoe, leaving gray marks. He was not interested in his mother's question: "Oh, she is a new resident in the town. She has moved here for almost two months. , I met in a small town."
The girl sitting next to him gestured with her hands: She is so beautiful.
Daniel curled his lips, feeling distraught at the thought of the new semester starting.
As soon as Winnie started the car, she forgot about the Coleman family she had just met. She stayed away from all children in the naughty stage. No matter how well-behaved they seemed, she had no interest in dealing with them.
The sun was still bright today. When the car drove around the school, there were more students walking or riding bicycles carrying schoolbags on the road. They talked and laughed in twos and threes. Looking at them, Winnie instantly recalled the time when she was in school.
She thought she was sucked into a horror game before graduating from college, but she didn't expect to be able to play it all over again after she got out.
After driving the car into the parking lot, Winnie walked down with her schoolbag on her back. As soon as she locked the car, she was stopped by a person.
"etc!"
Winnie turned her head and looked.
"Hello!" A tall boy trotted over from the other side with a smile, and inadvertently shook the key with the car logo on his hand: "Are you a new student? I don't think I've seen you before." He looked at Winnie from head to toe with his eyes. To the feet, the smile becomes brighter the more you look at it.
Winnie glanced at him and was not happy, but her beautiful face did not appear cold. For a beautiful woman, even a paralyzed face was cold.
"Yes."
The boy obviously didn't notice it, and continued to introduce enthusiastically: "Oh, I am your sophomore senior, Ward Bernal. Do you need help? I am familiar with the school and can help you guide."
"Thank you, no need, I have a map." Winnie said.
Winnie had already come in for a walk before school started.
Bernal didn't care about Winnie's rejection and walked side by side with her with a smile: "You're welcome, what's your name? Which major?"
Before Winnie could respond, several whistles came: "Hey, I said you took a long time to park the car, so you went to catch girls."
Three boys were leaning on a car with their bags on their backs and looked over with teasing expressions. After seeing Winnie's face clearly, she took another breath and said exaggeratedly: "It's incredible, you are so beautiful that you beat me to it."
Winnie frowned. Not only was she not happy to be praised, she only felt that the other party was very rude. I parked my car and was stopped by someone to strike up a conversation. The other person's friend would either say "catching girls" or "getting ahead of me." What did they think of girls?
When Bernal saw Winnie frowning, he glared at them and explained to her: "Don't listen to their nonsense. They just like to joke. In fact, they are quite nice people."
"If the person being joked about doesn't laugh, it's not a joke." Winnie said calmly, "If you want to use this method to 'catch a girl,' you'd better find out what kind of person she is."
And obviously, Winnie is obviously not suitable for such interruptions and jokes.
When she was in school, Winnie preferred the quiet, introverted academic type or the sunny and cheerful type. This kind of "gangster" and "street slut" type can hide as far as they can.
"Oh, she's so old-fashioned," one boy whispered.
Winnie controlled herself not to roll her eyes, and took a few steps to distance herself from Bernal. At this time, a red-haired girl came forward and greeted the boys behind Winnie. Her aura seemed like that of a campus celebrity.
Bernal took two steps forward and stopped when he saw the red-haired girl: "Hello Daojie."
Dao Jie smiled and looked back at Winnie's back: "What's wrong?"
Bernal's friends shrugged: "You know, pretty freshman."
Dao Jie smiled with unknown meaning after hearing this.
