Chapter 70: Bad Girl
Outside the window, the sunset and the red glow of the West Mountain fly.
The bedside table in the middle of the two beds in Ward 1201 was full of cardboard lunches, which were the hospital's hospital meals, $5 each, and the two patients were happily enjoying today's dinner.
In fact, when he was approaching the meal, Lin Nian was seriously thinking about whether the mission execution department would give him a package of meals this time, but before he could think of a result, Helena, who was clinical, took a bite of his dinner tonight, saying that it was better to meet than to be acquainted, I and Richard, you hit it off today, and this meal was wrapped on me.
Lin Nian was immediately moved, and felt that the word "beauty and kindness" was really not groundless, and immediately said that this relationship was good, and most of the friendships of the revolutionary soldiers started with half a steamed bun... So he immediately ordered three dishes, and Helena said Richard, you are growing your body, where is this enough, so with a wave of her hand, the three dishes have doubled, and their bedside table is full of now a dazzling array of boxed lunches.
This kind of treatment makes Lin Nian feel like he dreams of returning to Shilan Middle School, at the beginning of the first year of high school, when he ate in the cafeteria, Xiao Tiannu would always quietly touch Mimi and sit next to him and look at his dinner plate, and said with a big grin, where is this food enough to eat? The aunt Parkinson, who fights for food, is it again? So he dragged Lin Nian to the restaurant to cut the queue to add food, and the students who lined up were not annoyed when they saw that the person who cut the queue was a little goddess, after all, in Shilan High School, rich people have privileges, and beautiful women also have privileges, and the two together have greater privileges, but when they saw Lin Nian's expression pulled behind, they felt that they were going to add an extra dish of 'three meals and freshly filled' at noon.
This leads to the fact that now Lin Nian looks at the beautiful Helena more and more like Su Xiaoqiao who is far away, without looking for the similarities and differences between the two sides, rich and generous, at least there are some differences between the two in terms of personality, Su Xiaoqiao seems to be very courageous, and on weekdays, she has the momentum of 'daughter should be self-reliant' and 'women don't let her eyebrows'.
But Helena feels very close to the neighborhood, and she can hold her pillow and smile and talk to you about her birthday when she was five years old, and she is a ragdoll bear bigger than her, and she sleeps with a ragdoll bear every night as if she can protect herself from it.
At least Lin Nian still remembers that when he was eating at Shilan Restaurant, Su Xiaoqiao bragged to him that her fifth birthday gift was a new Lego realistic self-building block rail train, which had mountains, rivers and train stations, covering a whole garage of her house, and the train ran around the track for enough time to make a bowl of instant noodles, and at the end of the chat, she asked Lin Nian if she wanted to go to her house tonight to eat instant noodles together... Oh no, play with the rail train.
"Richard, you know what? Most people in Hollywood are superstitious, and they will ask famous soothsayers in New York to calculate their business fortunes and taboos. ”
"Witch? Do Hollywood people also believe in fortune telling? Lin Nian put a chopsticks and chicken steak into his lunch box and asked curiously.
"If you believe it, the more big directors and big stars you believe, just like my father." Helena took a small bite of broccoli and nodded: "Have you seen 'The Last Tear'?" ”
"I've seen it, it's a classic, and the literature department in our school organized our whole class to watch it." Lin Nian said subconsciously.
"Beta, be careful, don't put your real life into the character." Ryder's reminder rang in the wireless headset.
But fortunately, it seems that there is such a thing as a literature department in American high schools, Helena smiled without suspicion and said: "That movie is that my father asked the witch at a high price to ask him how to continue the fire, and the witch replied: You must have pain, you must have tears, you must have the necessary sin, and you must also have a sinking heart." So he decided to transform from a science fiction movie to a literary film and then make that movie. ”
"Winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival, it looks like that witch is a bit of a go-of-the-road." Lin Nian said: "I actually used to tell fortunes in Chinatown. ”
"What did you count? Love or Academics? Helena looked at Lin Nian curiously, her eyes reflecting the sunset outside the window that made her heart almost stop.
"No... The fortune teller said that I grew up lacking love and calcium, and I didn't believe him, because if all fortune tellers can do blood calcium content measurement part-time now, then the hospitals should all be closed. Lin Nian said with a smile, Helena was also amused for a while, and the giggling sound was reminiscent of a sunny doll hanging in the window, just looking at it will make you feel good.
"Actually, my dad asked the witch to do the math for me." Helena poked a small tomato with her chopsticks, and the two white feet that exposed the quilt swayed restlessly: "The witch said that I will be rich in the future, and I will meet a noble person, and I will be happy from now on." ”
"Did you meet it?" Lin Nian wanted to clip a chicken chop with chopsticks and sugar juice, but was immediately stopped by the instructor in the headset, and couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in frustration.
"I don't know." Helena looked at the ceiling with a small tomato in her mouth and sucked the sweet juice: "My mother used to read me a lot of fairy tales, so when I was a child, I always thought that the 'noble' was my 'Prince Charming', and one day she would wear gorgeous armor and headdress to wake me up from my sleep and bring me to a happy life in the warm country of the four seasons." ”
"Every girl has such a dream." Lin Nian poked the black pepper sauce steak in the lunch box, and didn't hear the voice of the instructor in the headset before he was relieved to clip it back into the lunch box.
"So I have a lot of boyfriends at school." Helena said with a smile.
"Poof... Not. Lin Nian almost squirted out the rice and beef he had just eaten in his mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" Helena turned her head strangely to look at Lin Nian.
"Nothing." Lin Nian coughed twice and quickly took a sip of water.
"Richard, you should be in high school by now, right? Are you so good-looking and don't have a girlfriend at school? Helena asked.
Lin Nianxin said that it is worthy of foreign education, but if a girl in China generously says that a boy is good-looking, it is tantamount to a confession and a pursuit signal.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend." Lin Nian shook his head: "I was influenced by my Chinatown grandfather, so I have always been very conservative in this regard..."
"Yes, you Chinese boys are very conservative." Helena tilted her head and didn't think it was strange.
"What happened when you said you had a lot of boyfriends? Didn't they get together and didn't fight? Or are they unaware of each other's existence? Lin Nian tactfully tacted his words.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I mean, I've had a lot of boyfriends." Helena changed the tense in her grammar and changed the present tense to the past tense.
"That's not surprising, you're also beautiful, and you're probably the prettiest girl I've ever seen, and it's normal to have a boyfriend." Lin Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and his impression of Helena returned to normal.
"No, I don't have a boyfriend now." Helena carefully removed a strand of hair that had been dyed to the corner of her mouth: "I'm single now." ”
"Then there must be a lot of boys pursuing you, right?" Lin Nian avoided the girl's gaze.
"Well, a lot, about half of the boys in our school have written me love letters." Helena smiled.
"Who doesn't love a versatile and good-looking girl? I would also like. ”
"Richard, do you like me too?" Helena's eyes lit up: "Then we can have a relationship." ”
"Poof... Not. Lin Nian vaguely heard the neat 'wow' of the senior commissioners in the headset, as well as the cheers of a certain second-class goods: it is worthy of the 'S' level, and it is easy to do what we can't do!
"I thought that a girl like you would have a high mate selection condition!" In the ward, Lin Nian looked at Helena with wide eyes.
"If it were a boy like you, our girls would have a lower mate than Greece's immigration threshold." Helena covered her mouth and let out a silver wind chime laugh.
Greece is preparing to launch a policy of "foreigners buying real estate and sending them to the EU for residence" within three years, and you can get a residence permit for 250,000 euros to buy a house. Ryder explained this joke to Lin Nian in the headset, which only the upper circle could understand: "Also, you can consider being her temporary boyfriend, which is conducive to mission operations... In some missions, the commissioners will be willing to sell their hue in exchange for the peace of humanity. ”
What a 'sacrificing hue in exchange for human peace', Lin Nian was stunned by Ryder's unbounded persuasion, and he forced himself to calm down: "Helena... Do you say the same to the boys who pursue you? ”
"yes." Helena wiped the corners of her mouth as if she had eaten enough, and lay on the pillow holding an apple: "This is what my mother taught me." ”
Lin Nianxin said that the hearts of boys all over the world lack a mother like you in their crushes, and if the mothers of girls all over the world are like your mother, probably the United States is not far from family planning.
"My mother said that if I was born in an environment that has been sought after for a long time, maybe my three views will have some not very good changes because of this." Helena took a bite of the apple, the red skin contrasting with her white face.
"So your mother's advice is for you to take those courtesies directly?" Lin Nian couldn't understand Helena's mother's brain circuit.
"yes." Helena nodded: "As long as you accept the courtship of those boys and agree to date them, after a while you can really know what kind of people they are, and then compare what they said before dating, you can understand how hypocritical their words are, and after experiencing this kind of thing repeatedly, you can turn a deaf ear to all the pursuits, because you have uncovered the truth and know how false and unrealistic those words are." ”
Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't refute this theory for a while.
"Richard, what do you think of me?" Helena asked suddenly.
"What kind of people?" Lin Nian fell silent.
Pretty? Can play the piano? Can dance? Illustrious family? Excellent grades?
No, Lin Nian didn't know why he felt that these were not the criteria for evaluating a person, and he couldn't answer Helena's question, so he chose to avoid it.
"I don't know."
"I'm glad Richard's you didn't judge me rashly." Helena looked at Lin Nian for a while and smiled with relief.
"I just don't know." Lin Nian shook his head.
"Do you know how I broke up with so many boyfriends?" Helena's fingers ran lightly over the smooth skin of the apple.
"Yes." Lin Nian once again corrected the other party's tense usage.
"Yes, yes." Helena couldn't help laughing, smashed her head with an apple and stuck out her tongue: "Every time I have a relationship with a boy in school, I deliberately do it." ”
"Bad?" Lin Nian was puzzled.
"It's just doing something that only bad girls do, like willful, coquettish, low-eyed, arrogant or something." Helena snapped her fingers and said, "The boys, after putting up with me for a few weeks, would break up and say to me in disappointment: 'How are you such a person!' Then I would ask them, "What kind of person do you think I should be?" ”
Lin Nian was stunned for a moment.
"Then they are always speechless, because they have never understood me, and they have imposed on me all their prayers and all the good things they think are good, and they have asked me to obey them, and they do not understand me at all, and I may be a good-looking bad person, or a sinister witch." Helena said: "Everyone just thinks I'm beautiful and thinks I'm a perfect person, but I'm not the kind of perfect person they expect, I will have shortcomings, I may also have a bad temper... I hate people who only discern everything at face value. ”
"Then do you only look at the surface and think I'm a good person or a bad person?" Lin Nian pointed to himself.
"I think Richard, you're a good person." Helena said without hesitation.
"But you said you can't just look at the surface..."Lin Nian smiled bitterly.
"No, it's a feeling." Helena said, "You give me a unique feeling, so I'm sure you must be a good person. ”
"Thank you." Lin Nian didn't know what to say for a while.
"Well, Richard, do you want to think about it?" Helena put down the apple and looked at Lin Nian expectantly.
"What?"
"Dating matters." Helena said, "So you can know what kind of person I am, and I can know what is good about you." ”
"I..."Lin Nian looked at Helena's face and fell into a dilemma, in sixteen years of his life, he had never experienced such a straightforward and unusual request for a relationship.
