Hora opened her eyes.

She was standing outside the city gates.

She turned her head to look behind her, as if she could see the palace in the depths of the city.

Then, without hesitation, she turned and headed in the direction of the Badlands.

"Smack. ”

Hora heard a voice coming from behind her.

She turned slowly.

The girl reached out to cover her mouth and took a step back, her eyes terrified.

Lying on the ground was the corpse of a raven.

Hola didn't dare to look more, and quickly turned around and trotted forward.

She ran and ran, forgetting the time, forgetting the distance, running until her feet wore out the skin, ran until her muscles were sore, and ran until she was in a trance.

She bumped into a warm body.

"What's the matter, running so fast. "The man's voice was gentle.

Hara looked up and looked at the man with many blood marks on his body that had been torn by his claws:

"Herwen, let's go. ”

Herwin stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, and asked very seriously:

"Haura, you're not injured in Lower Wharton during this time. ”

Hara looked into Hewen's eyes and didn't answer immediately, as if she wanted to find something in Hewen's eyes.

"I wasn't hurt. Hara and Hervin looked at each other seriously, "I won't get hurt." ”

Hervin smiled and pointed in the direction of the palace:

"Are they in that place?"

Hora nodded obediently.

Hervin hummed softly, then stood up.

Hora cautiously looked at Herwin with her peripheral vision.

A figure stepped out of Hewen's body, and then walked in the direction Hewen pointed.

Herwin half-crouched down and asked Hara:

"Where are you going now?"

Hola pulled the corner of Rahvin's clothes:

"Shall we go home?"

Hewen nodded:

"Home, of course. ”

Herwin reached out and tore it lightly, tearing out a small gap in the lower Wharton.

He took Hara's little hand and led her into the crack.

Hara reflexively closed her eyes, her face showing a little fear.

But behind the cracks there is only a warm fireplace and a soft carpet.

She let go of the little hand that was holding Hewen and sighed softly:

"Oh. ”

Hewen asked without any surprise:

"Wait a minute, you're going to cook, or I'm going to cook. ”

Hola said without hesitation:

"Hewen, just come. ”

Hervin nodded, then walked into the basement and into the kitchen with a bag of seasoning dust.

Time ticks and ticks.

Hewen was quick to serve a fragrant vegetable soup and chunks of barbecue steak, as well as a delicious steamed fish.

"Hora, what are you going to do in the future?"

Hola was a little surprised:

"Thinking about this so early?"

Herwen puts a piece of roast meat in his mouth:

"Don't look at it now, it's still far from going to college, but in fact, time passes at a very fast speed before you know it, and when you think about it at that time, you will regret it a little. ”

Hola took a sip of vegetable soup and asked tentatively:

"I wanted to paint, I wanted to be a painter since I was a child, but I didn't know if this job would support me......"

Herwin asked:

"Do you think you're talented? and more importantly, do you like to draw?"

Hola says:

"I haven't tried it, but I like it, it's actually my dream, and I hope that one day I can do my own exhibition. ”

Hervin smiled:

"If you like it, go for it, it doesn't matter if you have talent or not, study hard now, but when it's time to get into the best art school, even if you don't have enough talent, you can spend your whole life pursuing what you like. ”

Hora nodded heavily.

Herwin got up, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, poured it into a goblet, then he hesitated, took out another goblet from the wine cabinet, turned back to Hara and asked:

"Would you like a drink? ”

Hola was amazed:

"Can I drink it too?"

Hervin smiled softly:

"Of course, you're already an adult. ”

Hola says:

"Then give me a drink, Herwen. ”

Hervin also poured some red wine into another goblet, and brought it to the table together:

"We've never had a heart-to-heart conversation, do you still want to go to Wharton High School? Or a different place. ”

Hola says:

"Wharton is fine, too far is not good. ”

Hervin says:

"It doesn't matter if it's here or further afield. ”

Hola was a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she replied:

"I still want to study here. ”

Hewen nodded:

"Then Wharton High School, Wharton University's School of Fine Arts is also very good, you can make this your goal in high school, I believe that one day, you will be able to hold a grand art exhibition on your own." ”

The two of them chatted and ate dinner like this.

After drinking, Dutch's face was slightly red, and he staggered to the room, and lay directly on the bed and fell asleep.

In her restless sleep, the girl vaguely felt that someone had opened her door and gently covered herself with the quilt.

It's dawn.

Herwin took Hera with her to Wharton.

The girl said goodbye to Hervin and came to her seat.

The girl with short black hair sitting next to her looked at Hola and held out her hand:

"My name is Kate, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Hola smiled happily:

"My name is Hara, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Both girls let out hearty laughs.

Hola attended every class carefully, listened to every word the teacher said without distraction, took notes on every page, and worked hard with her classmates to prepare for the exam.

After class, Hola finds Kate and chats happily, they talk about Wharton's life, talk about the news in the newspaper, and enjoy the future together.

After school, the two also made an appointment to walk to school together tomorrow, and when they parted, Hola still felt like a dream.

When she returned home, she found Herwin still sitting idly in the study reading a book, and Hola cautiously walked to the door of the study:

"I made a friend today. ”

Herwin smiled:

"Oh, how's your new friend? School life is okay, right?"

Hola trotted out, poured a glass of juice for Hervin and herself, and was very excited to share the day's life.

Herwin listened very attentively to Hara's words, occasionally asking her two questions, and the two of them laughed together from time to time.

Until the sun goes down and the sky becomes dark.

Hola dragged her tired body back to her room and lay down on the bed.

She thinks back to the whole day, she can remember what everyone said at what time, her life was so real, and every second counted.

She closed her eyes, ready for her next dream.
