Chapter Forty-Eight: Threatening Children
When the New Year's bell rang, Sid asked the waiter to bring him his coat and put it on, and then left the venue alone, striding away from the crowd. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
During the New Year in the imperial capital of the Leeds system, the whole city is banned from flying for three days, except for the commander and military aircraft, so Sid has given all his attendants, including the driver, a holiday since last night, and he is now going to the parking lot alone to pick up the car.
The sound of salutes and fireworks echoed above Sid's head, and the cheers of the crowd in the distance made the scenery around him particularly lonely. He walked to the side of the street lamp, leaned against the railing and looked up, and there was a red fireworks in the sky diagonally above him, blooming in the shape of a smiling face. Sid looked at the fireworks, pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his coat pocket, and took out another one and lit it to his mouth.
Soon, the long cigarette was burned out, and only one cigarette butt remained, which Sid snuffed out and flicked into the distance, and the cigarette butt flew into a trash can across the street with the last wisp of smoke. Sid then got up from the railing on the side of the street, dusted off his back, and walked away.
Not far after he walked out, there was a shout behind him.
"Sid!"
Sid stopped, but didn't turn around. There was another sound of high heels hitting the ground behind him, and it was Tis who followed: "Sid, where are you going?" ”
Sid didn't reply, but raised his leg and walked on.
Tis immediately lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted up, running all the way to Sid's side, reaching out and grabbing the crook of his arm.
Sid finally turned his head to look at Tess's hand holding his arm, and said coldly, "Let go." ”
Tis was still wearing the same dress in the venue, her two white arms and shoulders were exposed in the cold wind, but she didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to say to Sid: "Sid, it's the New Year, let's celebrate the New Year together as a family." ”
Sid's eyebrows were indifferent: "I still have something to do, let's go first." After saying that, he indifferently brushed away the hand that was holding Tice's arm, and strode away, leaving Tis standing in place.
A flash of sadness flashed across Tice's face, but she quickly sorted out her emotions, picked up her skirt again, and chased after Sid in the direction where Sid walked away, but Sid walked too fast, and Tiss stopped after chasing two steps, shouting at Sid's back, "Sid, don't you want to see Atheni?" ”
As soon as she said that, she saw Sid turn around almost immediately, and there was a fierce momentum around him, Sid stepped in front of Tis in a few steps, leaning down slightly to get close to Tice's face, the two of them were so close that they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
Tis looked at the suddenly enlarged face in front of him, and his heart beat wildly with worry, and sure enough, he soon heard Sid say to her in disgust: "You don't use children to blackmail me, you will only make me look down on you more and more." ”
Tis forced to calm down: "It's not that I'm blackmailing you with the child, Arseni is sick." ”
Hearing that Aseni was sick, Sid immediately frowned: "What's the matter?" I was fine when I was on video with her the other day, what did you do to her? ”
Tice sighed: "Sid, are you reasonable, I'm Atheni's mother, will I deliberately make her sick to get your attention?" ”
Sid snorted lightly: "When she is sick, you should stay at home and take good care of her, instead of coming to the imperial capital to participate in a banquet that has nothing to do with you like now." ”
Tees took a deep breath: "I admit it, I came to the banquet to see you, but I originally only planned to take a look at you from afar, and I will leave after seeing you, and I will never pester you." Tice said as he clasped his hands around himself, as if he had finally sensed the chill of winter.
Sid smiled sarcastically: "This is what you call a glance from afar? Never pester me? So what were you doing? Do you want me to remind you that you just took my arm and begged me to celebrate the New Year with you...... Snort, if you really have the kind of consciousness that doesn't haunt me, I'll look up to you a little bit. ”
"Sid, you don't have to provoke me with such words, I said that if I don't pester you, I won't pester you anymore."
Sid nodded: "Very good, then you should quickly disappear from my eyes now." ”
"What about Atheni? Don't you want to go and see her, I have come with you only to beg you to come with me to see her, to hug her, to comfort her, to let her know that her father loves her, and that she is not a person without a home. ”
The mention of the word "home" made Sid in a trance for a moment, and he shook his head: "You brought Atheni to the imperial capital?" ”
"Yes, she wanted to surprise you by suddenly appearing, so she didn't tell you on the phone, but before she came over tonight, she suddenly had a fever, and she was so hot that she still begged me to take her to see you, so I had to promise her that I would definitely take you over to see her tonight, and Aseni was willing to take the medicine and sleep."
Hearing Tis say this, Sid's heart throbbed fiercely, and he spoke in a very bad tone: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Why didn't you say it when you first took a photo at the venue? ”
"If I had said it at the beginning, would you have believed me? You're just thinking I'm playing some tricks again, aren't you? Tis said, tears gathering in her eyes.
Sid was a little irritable, he thought seriously about Ties's words, if she had told him that Aseni was sick in the first place, would he have believed it? No, he wouldn't believe it, he would just think she was playing tricks and walk away. He heard Tis continue: "Not only will you not believe me, but you will avoid me, and you will not beg you in front of so many people in the room, so if I had said so at the beginning, you would not have come with me to see Arseni tonight." ”
Tis was all right, she knew him too well. Sid lashed out on the face, grabbed Tice's arm vigorously, and pulled her towards the parking lot. Tis stumbled at Heathdra's feet and fell straight into Sid's arms.
Sid grabbed Tis and said contemptuously above her head: "I'm going to go to see Atheni immediately, I don't have time to watch you perform here, and I want to throw yourself into your arms, I advise you to save it." ”
Desperation, Tis stood up from Sid's arms: "You think too much, I just didn't stand firm." ”
"Oh? That's a lot of time when you don't stand still. ”
Sid talked about Tice's black history, Tice had an embarrassed blush on her face, she silently followed behind Sid, her high heels made a crisp "clang" sound on the street, a cold wind blew, Tice shrunk his shoulders and hugged himself tightly with his two arms.
Sid, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Tis looked up and saw a coat flying towards her, and before he could reach out to pick it up, it was directly covered on her head. Tis pulled off his coat from his head and put it on, Sid had already raised his feet and walked away, and threw her a sentence: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to use Arseni to beg me to come and see you after you get frostbitten, I don't want to break Arseni's heart, but you don't think I'm at the mercy of either." ”
Tice felt the warmth of Sid coming from inside his coat, and a sweetness welled up in his heart. She looked at the tall and generous back of the man in front of her, and smiled sadly and happily. Tightening his coat, Tis quickly caught up with Sid.
Walking into the parking lot, Tis caught a glimpse of the dazzling blue sports car that belonged to Sid. The lights flickered, and the doors unlocked automatically as Sid approached. Tees opened the passenger door and sat in, and soon there was a warmth in the car, and Sid started the car and asked Tice, "Where do you live?" ”
After Tis replied "Yunxian Hotel", she suddenly remembered that her bag and coat were still in the backstage of the venue, she hesitated for a moment, but still said to Sid: "Sorry, my bag and coat are still in the venue, I want to go over and get them, can you wait for me?" ”
Sid was impatient: "I'll take it tomorrow." ”
"But the key card is still inside, and if Aseni can't hear the knock, we won't be able to get in." Tis knew from his expression that he was bothering her, and quickly explained.
"Then find the front desk to open the door." After saying that, Sid directly set the navigation route and drove out of the parking lot.
