8 a.m
With a quarter of an hour to go until four o'clock in the morning, Zach and Louise had already stopped the 'blood exchange'.
Waiting for the outcome of something affected the interest of the two of them - the flies that were eaten at four o'clock in the morning yesterday, hoping to spit it out today. Therefore, it is better not to do a high-quality 'blood exchange'. Hehe, isn't it quite gratifying that our vampires at least have a quality pursuit of something in life~
Anyway, waiting, Louise flipped through "Cain the Divine Punishment" and occasionally asked Zack a few questions. Part it's about the questions in the book, and part it's just small talk.
"I can feel the similarity. "It's small talk," Eli resembles Cain's. ”
"Oh, you see he can't tell the difference between humans and his descendants. ”
"En~" Louise smiled and nodded, "Do you remember the practice method of blood control, in addition to hunger, there is also a gluttony that relies on the blood of the same clan?"
"Very unfortunate, I remember. Zach shrugged.
This section says that Cain was tired and searched for food every day, so he kept a group of ...... Lamb. Glancing at Zack, he shook his head with a disappointing face, "And we already know that the lamb in this book refers to human beings. Ay. Louise sighed, "Cain kept a group of humans in captivity and fed them on them. But as the days passed, he found that his food was getting less and less, until one day, only one of his food was still alive, and he asked himself in confusion if he was still alive, 'Why are all your friends dead?' His food replied, 'Because I'm hungry.'" ”
Louise paused for a moment and looked at Zach, "That's when Cain realized that he had inadvertently created a descendant. Louise flipped the page, "and Cain said to the only food alive, 'Oh, now I'm hungry. Louise paused for a moment, looking at what was going on in the book, "and then Cain left and went to a new town to find a new lamb. ”
The two of them were silent for a moment.
"The life of a vampire hasn't changed since the beginning, has it? "That's a question. Louise looked at Zach and waited for an answer.
Zach thought for a moment, "If you're trying to express that vampires always go from one place to another, yes. ”
"Romantic. A strange comment came out of Louise's mouth, "But I'm so tired." ”
"It's tiring to stick to one place. Zach just smiled and shrugged, "I tried~"
Louise was interested, "When?"
"Hehe, when I was in the Northland. Zach must have thought of a fairly good memory, "You can imagine that all of a sudden I was free. I don't belong to the aristocratic Toredo four centuries ago. Nor is it a member of the Thirteen Clans, the Hidden Alliance, which needs to settle various affairs in the country of the Federation. Zach tilted his head, "All the rules that once constrained me are gone." I don't need to maintain privileges and fight for living space for any race, clan, or alliance reason~"
"True Freedom~" Louise smiled too, "Born in a moment without worries~"
"You can say that~" Zach ...... Nodding comfortably, "And then at the same time, the wonderful thing is that I'm not in the human system. Zach smiled and raised his hand so that Louise could lie in his arms, "After all, strictly speaking, I illegally crossed the border from the Federation to the Northland, and I don't exist for the population system of the Northland~"
If you think about the story of the Northlands that we told halfway before, and talk about the difficulties of Craig the Messenger of Tsmich in finding Zack in the Northland, it would be good. But now is not the time to talk about how hard Craig is looking for Zack, we don't care about Craig, Zach is our protagonist.
Louise leaned against Zach's side, her fingers drawing circles on Zach's chest, "So, you don't need to conform to the human population system?
"It's a drop~" Zach is in a good mood, "I just use, hehe, casual~ I can go wherever I want, and I can go wherever I want." I don't have any interest needs, I can be whatever I want, and if I find a role-play, hehe, it's not fun, I'll walk away and start a new life. ”
Sounds very desirable, doesn't it, if only we could do the same thing. But don't forget what the beginning of this topic is -
"Then there's a period of life where you don't want to leave. Louise leaned on Zack's head and looked at Zach, in line with the 'threat' of the scene - "If it's because of a woman, I'll bite you~"
"Hehehe. In fact, it's about a man. Zach was pleased with Louise's strange look in her eyes, and this kind of joke between lovers was really funny...... Don't try it at home. Zach stroked the hair on Louise's forehead with a gentle expression, "It's a boy, I first met him at the school where I was a teacher. Not anything, well, good school. It was, well, what we called it at the time, a 'pre-read' school. ”
"Pre-reading?" Louise's expression was much more normal when she heard that it was a boy. But at this point, there are only doubts.
"The Northland is a country of immigrants, so there are many people from other continental countries who go to live in the Northland. It's okay for adults, after all, it's all adults who make the decision to leave the place where they used to live and go to live in a completely unfamiliar place. But for children, the transition is very difficult. And this kind of pre-school is for these children who don't know where to adapt to their new life at all. ”
After listening to the explanation, Louise had completely thrown away "Cain of God's Punishment", looked at Zach, and smiled, "I guess, you are very suitable for this kind of work ~ teach children how to adapt to a new life ~"
Look, how comfortable it is to chat with a lover who has a common heart~
"I'm a good fit~" Zach smiled and nodded, "It's too suitable." Then there was helplessness on his face, "So much so that for a while, this boy treated me as his real family." ”
"Oh~~" Louise looked gentle, "What a warm boy~ I bet he's a very gentle kid~"
"He is. Zach tilted his head, "And I have to admit that for a long time, I was a little addicted to the feeling of being relied on. ”
"This must feel good~"
Zach glanced at Louise, "I hosted his 10th birthday party, I attended his 16th coming-of-age ceremony, I met his first girlfriend when he was twenty, and I was ...... at his first wedding at 26."
Louise's gentle face began to develop in a strange direction-
"I was babysitting his child, a three-month-old baby, in the basement of his house when he was fighting custody with his first wife in court. I built his kid's treehouse in the woods, and when I was six years old, I played with my kid when he kept going to the local pub to meet single women. I was the one who spent his child's tenth birthday in an abandoned mine because he was arguing with his second wife and forgot about his child's birthday......"
"Stop. Louise stopped and looked at Zach, "How many years have you been with him?" and jumped straight to the end. "Nope. Louise changed her question, "How many years have you been hiding in his life?"
"You hear that?" Zach smiled.
"I can hear you, since his first wedding, you've been out of your official capacity, you're ......," Louise frowned, "always in a place where no one else could see it." ”
Zach nodded, "After he got married, it was impossible for me to appear with this face." But I'm still there because he says he needs me. Zach shook his head and looked at Louise, "He said he needed me, he was going to be a father, he didn't know what to do as a father, 'Please, help me,'" he said. And then it's, 'I don't love her anymore, what am I going to do in the future?'" Zach waved his hand, "and then again, 'When I was little, was I like this? Did I talk back? Did I yell at my own father? Help me. And then there's ......"
"Stop. Louise stopped again, "He can't just throw the rotten things in his life at you." There was inexplicable anger in his tone.
Actually, he could. Zach's mood also seemed a little weird, "Because I'm the one who told him that I know his troubles, that I've been through it all, that I'm the one who knows everything." I told him to rely on me. ”
"Yes! when he was a gentle little boy, not when he was already a man!" Louise's anger was still inexplicable.
Zach pursed his lips, "I guess I'm not a good teacher after all." ”
"He wasn't a good student. Louise concluded, "What time is it?" "A good lover knows what topics can change the mood of your other half.
Zach glanced at the time, "There are still three points to ......"
The phone rang.
Zach and Louise glanced at each other, if the call was too early. Either way, you can't keep the phone ringing, and it's not good for anyone for Maya to be woken up.
Soon, Zach was already in the office, and Louise was beside her. Ready to spit out the flies we ate yesterday together, picking up the earpiece, Zach didn't speak as usual, listening to the voice in the earpiece-
"I need your help. James's voice, "Are you awake?" ”
Zach and Louise looked at each other again, with a subtle sense of unpleasantness. Zach frowned into the microphone, "I answered your call, didn't I." ”
"Okay, 10 minutes, wait for me. ”
Then the phone hung up.
"What's going on?" Louise looked at Zach's slowly lowered earpiece.
Zach was as confused as Louise, "I don't know. But he definitely wasn't calling us from home" - the distance from James's loft apartment to the Grande, don't do that, Barton's geography is pretty well known to us, at least 20 minutes is good.
Zach looked at the time, two minutes to four o'clock. Shaking his head, he waited in the office.
Louise also pursed her lips, considering that James was coming, Louise was not in the mood to wait any longer, and waved her hand back to the master bedroom to read, 'worshiping' Cain's life.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...... Ten minutes.
The flies they ate yesterday were bound to become a part of Zach and Louise.
James arrived.
First of all, Zach was surprised, James looked like he was going out at all, he didn't have all the clothes, and under his coat was just a set of pajamas.
As soon as he entered Grande, he went straight to Zack's bedroom, searched Zack's closet in front of Louise, wrapped it like a ball, and then returned to the office and sat opposite Zach.
Then, what James said made Zach even more confused - "I need you." "Find any connections you have in the middle, find me, my girlfriend!"
Zach wasn't prepared to take the initiative to say anything. Just look at James, and those who are in a hurry will definitely take the initiative to start explaining.
Really.
"You don't have to pretend you don't know!" "You know Kate is back to Patton, and she's come to you!
"Oh!" Zach could speak, because a keyword had already come out - "Miley told you? Miley still lives with you?"
James was momentarily irritated, "Of course she still lives with me, otherwise where would she live!" glared at Zack, "Is it funny, to do this to an innocent girl?!"
"Remind me, what did I do to Miss Miley Lister?" asked Zach sincerely.
"Hmph! you want me to make up for what happened to Barton when I go back!" James glared at Zack, "It's just an advertisement! Is it necessary to get all known?!, the last innocent man in the Liszt family, do you need to force it like this!"
"Oh. Zach raised an eyebrow, "It turned out that I was forcing her." Kindness. "Don't want to argue about anything, tired," you just said Kate?" reminded James not to forget why he came.
"Yes, Kate!" James's face darkened, and his gaze turned away from Zack, and down the hell, who knows what he was looking at, "Miley told me that Barton's local channel aired some footage of the Central Army, and when Kate returned, she saw Wes ...... in the picture."
"Oh~~" Zach didn't know what he was expecting, and was suppressing his ...... 'laughing' at this time," Miley said, and Kate saw Wes in the picture. ”
"You don't have to repeat or interrupt me!!" James glared at Zach again, "Do you want to listen to me!!"
"I'm sorry. Zach apologized with a 'sincere' face, "You continue." ”
"Miley didn't know why I hadn't come back yet, she couldn't inquire, Kate didn't know what was wrong with me when she came back, Miley and Kate were together for a few days, and told Kate that I was going west to see my father, and then I didn't know, and then the picture on TV aroused Kate's idea, Kate said to check, and then Kate also disappeared, Miley went to the newspaper to ask, only to know that Kate ran to the middle......" James's expression 'softened', "I know, I know Kate is looking for me! But I'm back now!!" What about Kate?! ”
