22. Chapter XXII
Other performers came one after another, the backstage was full of people, and the small space was a bit noisy and a little crowded. The town is too small, there are not many talented people, and the performers who participate in the New Year's parade every year are always the same few people, and no one expects to be famous by this, just to be festive and lively, and it is no wonder that Dick said that this is a group of people entertaining themselves on the first day of the new year.
Everyone is an acquaintance, and while chatting with each other, they will glance at the new face of Via. Dick was afraid that Viya would not feel comfortable, so he took her to stand outside the arena and wait.
Dick looked at the packed audience in the stands, "Hey, there are more people this year than usual." ”
Via asked casually, "Is there any special reason?" ”
"Probably because of the continuous blizzard, everyone didn't dare to go out on vacation, for fear that if they were not careful, the house would collapse and come back and stare at a pile of ruins."
Dick's joke, of course, amused Via.
Via did smile, and a small pear socket loomed under the corner of her right lip, which was very sweet and gentle, and Dick looked down at her with a smile in his eyes.
Not far away, a pair of eyes never took their eyes off Dick, and Dick's love and tenderness for Via made her feel very hurt.
Laura remembered the time she had spent with Dick in the past, and Dick had treated her like this, but now, he gave it all to a girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and was even willing to pick up the guitar to accompany the girl again. When he broke up with her, he swore angrily that he would never touch the guitar again.
Laura is not only astringent, but also a little jealous. She felt that Via had taken away Dick that was rightfully hers.
Vanessa was also watching from the side, she looked coldly at her, and taunted her cousin, "Look at them, are you still soft-hearted?" Why is she a foreigner to show off with us, don't you really want to give her a little color? ”
Vanessa used her mother's agitation, and Laura, who was shaken by her heart, was also tricked. Laura stared at Dick, who was talking to Via, and made up her mind and walked towards him.
Vanessa looked at her back, hooked the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and turned to beckon to her little cousin, "Thatch, come here." ”
The little boy walked up to her, she bent down and whispered something in his ear, and the little boy nodded, smiling mischievously.
Via and Dick were having a good time chatting when Laura suddenly appeared and interrupted them, "Dick, I have something to say to you. ”
Dick frowned and said impatiently, "I don't have much to say to you. ”
The indifferent tone and the enthusiasm for Wei Ya just now are like two people.
Laura was even more sad but forced to composure, looking Dick in the eye, "Don't you want to know why I didn't go to the boathouse that day?" ”
What boathouse?
Via, who didn't know why, saw Dick's eyes move slightly, and Dick said to her, "You wait here for me first, and I'll be back soon." ”
Dick and Laura left one after the other, and Laura looked back at Via, which made Via feel a strange feeling that she couldn't explain.
Via waited for about ten minutes and didn't see Dick come back.
Chris called over and had a small meeting with her and the performers, explaining some precautions, especially telling everyone to go backstage to report before the show in front of them started. After saying that, Chris asked the performers at the back of the show to return to the audience first, empty the backstage, and leave no idle people.
At the same moment, a black sedan stopped at the corner of the square, and a young boy stepped out of the back seat, his gorgeous blonde hair dazzling even in the night.
Kailan Hills wore a black suit with a dark gray wool coat over it, and his formal attire showed that his facial features were more profound and handsome, and his temperament was more luxurious and elegant. But the warm smile on his face seemed to be able to shorten the distance between others and him.
At least Vanessa thought so, she felt that Kellan had a peaceful temperament, and that he must have looked the other way for him, otherwise why would he agree to come and see her show.
Vanessa, who had been waiting for thousands of years, ignored the cold, took off her coat, revealing the beautiful black dress inside, and walked quickly towards Kailan, wanting to get close to him, but was politely avoided by Kailan, Kailan stood one step away, and lost no time in praising Vanessa's dress, "This dress suits you very well." ”
Seeing Kailan's bewildering smile, Vanessa's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't think much about whether Kailan's actions could be regarded as repulsing herself, and her heart was full of endless pride and joy.
"But it's so cold, you still have to keep warm," Kellan said, gesturing for the driver to take out his coat, which he draped over Vanessa.
Kellan was willing to help her get dressed herself, even if the clothes weren't his, it was enough to surprise Vanessa.
Although the students in Elon Middle School are either rich or expensive, there is still a gap between people, and Kailan is the kind of person at the top.
Kylan is two times higher than Via and Vanessa, and two times lower than Dick and Laura.
Vanessa knew about Kellan for a long time, he had studied in the aristocratic school in southern France before high school, and only transferred to Switzerland before high school, and when he first arrived at Elon High School, he caused a small sensation.
He comes from the low-key and wealthy Hills family, he has been pampered since he was a child, but he does not have the bad habits of a young master, he treats everyone gently, politely, and everyone who knows him is full of praise for him. What's more, he is also very good in his own right, whether it is cultural class, practical class or art class, his results are always the first.
Kailan loves outdoor sports, went home to spend Christmas with his family during the winter vacation, and came to Switzerland for a skiing vacation, Vanessa heard about it from her classmates in Elon Middle School, and called him with the idea of giving it a try to invite him to come to her show, but he didn't expect him to really agree.
Vanessa led Kellan to her parents, and Mayor Warnard and his wife, Lilia, sat in the middle of the first row, where they sat every year.
"My mom also went to school in France when she was younger, studying fashion design," Vanessa tried to find a topic to talk to Carlane, because Carran is French, and she thought that saying this would bring the two closer together.
Speaking of this, she bowed her head and pretended to be entangled and said, "I have a year to prepare for university, and I am hesitating whether to go to England or France." ”
Vanessa wanted to get Kailan's attention, but she didn't hear Kailan talk for a long time, and when she looked up, she found that Kailan's eyes were on the right row of seats, where was Via's seat, she was sitting between Manina and John, talking to her adoptive parents, her eyes were crooked, and she looked very happy.
Kailan looked at her, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off, he didn't even move his steps, I'm afraid he didn't hear a word of what Vanessa said just now, and his mind was not on Vanessa at all.
Vanessa's face instantly became gloomy, but Kellan suddenly withdrew his gaze to look at her, and she immediately showed a far-fetched smirk,
"Who's that girl? Do you know each other? Kailan asked her, his voice was calm and pleasant, and he couldn't hear anything unusual, as if he was just bored, asking casually.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be interested in Via, Vanessa was a little relieved, and although reluctantly had to answer Kellan's question, "Yes, her name is Via Levitt, a student at Roy Middle School, and I'm in the same grade. ”
Via Levitt,
Kellan silently recited the name in his mind.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he came to Roy Middle School because of the prom cooperation, he overheard a beautiful singing voice in the hallway, it was a melody he had never heard before, his feet seemed to follow the sound uncontrollably to the music classroom, and he saw a girl sitting in front of the piano, playing the piano and singing, fully engaged, completely unaware of his intrusion.
The light in the classroom was bright, and the girl was bathed in sunlight, as if she was born for the light, and at that moment, he had the illusion that he was not standing in the music classroom of a rural middle school, but under the blue sky, surrounded by the vast earth.
At the end of the song, he couldn't help but applaud, the girl suddenly turned around, looking at him with a pair of frightened big eyes, he was momentarily stunned, because he had never met such a girl, she had a clean aura, as if not polluted by this world, made him feel comfortable and peaceful.
Before he came to Switzerland to study, his grandfather once half-jokingly told him, "Don't forget to find a girlfriend in Switzerland, know that girls who grow up with snowy mountains, meadows and forests are always spotless." ”
