333. Encounter
"Senior sister, are your feet okay?"
On the delicate and luxurious pumpkin carriage, Diana looked at the schoolboy opposite with some concern and asked.
"It's fine, it's just that I lost my shoes."
Cinderella shook her head, and she dragged down the crystal slipper, which was only her left foot, revealing her white, soft jade-like feet.
She was in too much of a hurry just now, but when she got into the carriage, she tripped over the steps and almost fell, but fortunately, Diana reached out and pulled her in time by her side, so she didn't look good.
However, although the person was fine, it still made the crystal high heel on her right foot missing, and at that time, the annoying guy was about to chase it out, so she didn't have time to turn around to pick it up, so she hurriedly got into the carriage and drove away.
"Anyway, it's just something conjured up by the Prayer Technique, and it should disappear after I run out of magic for a while."
Cinderella thought so, so she didn't pay much attention to the lost slipper.
"But senior sister, how can you be chased by Senior Aldington?"
The merchant girl was once again ignited with the soul of gossip, her eyes flashed with curiosity, and then she asked.
"Do you remember the first-grade class president I said before who I rejected and confessed, it's him."
Cinderella had nothing to hide from this, she said a little depressed.
"Probably he transferred to Xindu after dropping out of Aldridge, and it seems that he skipped a grade to become your senior, and he seems to have suddenly recognized me just now."
As soon as she remembered the rude behavior of Aldington who wanted to move her hands and feet just before leaving, a trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the school bully girl.
Originally, Cinderella still had a little apology in her heart for the squad leader who was inadvertently injured by herself, but now it seems that she is fortunate to have refused at the beginning, and she is really not a good person.
The girl suddenly rejoiced in her heart.
"Well, what a coincidence."
Diana on the other side was also stunned, she never expected this world to be so small.
The merchant girl originally wanted to ask more, but she was good at observing words and feelings, but she was keenly aware of the dislike in her sister's eyes, and after realizing that her sister probably didn't have a good impression of Senior Aldington, Diana decisively swallowed the words that were about to come to her lips and changed the subject.
"Now, Senior Sister, do you have any plans next?"
"Of course, the next thing is to go home and sleep, and I have to go to school tomorrow."
Good boy Cinderella replied as a matter of course.
Her usual routine is very regular, going to bed on time before nine o'clock at night, getting up at five o'clock in the morning, and sleeping for eight hours a day, so that every morning she can meet the new day of study with perfect spirit, without leaving any fatigue and exhaustion.
And today because of this dance, the school bully girl's schedule has been disrupted, and now she just wants to go back and catch up on sleep, otherwise if she dozes off in class tomorrow, it will affect her learning efficiency.
"Senior sister, I said that young people should not live this kind of retirement life in advance, anyway, you are late today, why don't we go on an adventure together."
"Adventure, where is the expedition on this big night?"
Cinderella looked out the window at night with some confusion, it's midnight, don't go to sleep and go on an adventure?
Some of the good boys' school bully girls don't quite understand the thoughts of their current peers.
"Well, sister, haven't you heard of it, the urban legend that everyone has been discussing very much recently, legend has it that if you look for it in the city after twelve o'clock in the night, there is a certain chance that you can meet the painter, as long as you give the painter a gold coin, he will help you draw a portrait of a couple, and then the men and women in the portrait will definitely get married and fall in love with each other, I want to go to the painter to paint a couple painting between me and Mr. Merlin."
Diana was excited to tell the story of this powerful urban legend that had recently been passed down in school.
"Well, that's not good, the relationship you get in this way is definitely not real love."
Cinderella frowned, hesitantly speaking.
This was the first time she had heard of such an urban legend, after all, she usually went straight to the library as soon as school was out of school, and then accepted Mr. Merlin's private tutoring. Zero-One Reading Network
And just listening to Diana's description, she felt that this kind of urban legend was very unreliable, not like a good thing, but like a trick played by the devil to play people's hearts.
This is not Cinderella's prejudice, her opinion is somewhat grounded, after all, her magic pattern wishing fairy itself belongs to one of this similar urban legends, and she can also play this kind of trick on her.
In addition, marriage is a simple thing to say, it is nothing more than two people meeting, knowing each other, and falling in love with each other, but from the perspective of occultism, this involves the ethereal fate, everything is the traction of the red line of fate, which seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is fate.
Although the ability of her own magic eyes has not yet been fully awakened, but the ability to see the line of fate has long been there, for example, now she can clearly see that the red line on the junior sister Diana in front of her is broken, and every time Teacher Merlin appears, the red thread of the junior sister is trying to make up for the teacher, but unfortunately the teacher's red line has been dodging, just refusing to dock.
By the way, Teacher Merlin's red line is not just hiding from Diana's red line, in fact, the teacher has been surrounded by several red lines around him, and those red lines extend from the void, and he doesn't know who their owner is on the other end.
Anyway, whenever she looks at Teacher Merlin, who is about to fight by herself with several red lines around her, Cinderella can't help but sigh that the teacher is really a man who has committed a lot of crimes.
Then she had to manually rip her red thread away from the teacher, so that her own thread would not join the battle that was about to turn into a ball of yarn.
Alas, since signing that apprenticeship agreement, her own red line has always unconsciously come to the teacher's side.
The school bully girl understands that this may be fate so destined, but this feeling of being arranged is uncomfortable, and she really respects and admires Teacher Merlin as a teacher now, and there is no such relationship between men and women.
But her red line is always running around the teacher, which makes it seem like she has some special thoughts about the teacher, how embarrassing it is, and she is not a rebel like her sister Diana.
But speaking of which, she seems to have seen a lot of couples in school recently, and the red line of fate between couples is a little strange.
Normally, the marriage line between the really destined couples should be directly connected, the kind that is complete and connected by a thread, but Cinderella seems to have seen many couples recently that the marriage line is connected by a knot, and it is not a dead knot, it is the kind of slipknot that may be loosened at any time.
Cinderella didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that Diana talks about this urban legend, it can't be the mysterious painter who is doing something, right?
Cinderella guessed in her heart.
But what does this have to do with her, she's just a student who hasn't been in the industry for a long time, and she's still far away from this kind of mysterious event, at most, when she sees Teacher Merlin tomorrow, she will mention it and report it.
"Diana, don't get involved in this matter, this urban legend is not quite right."
She emphasized to her junior sister so seriously, unlike this lively and bold junior sister, the school bully girl is very cautious.
With that, Cinderella stopped the carriage, and she and Diana got out of the carriage.
Her magic has really bottomed out now, but fortunately, she has now arrived in a small alley not far from her house, and there is no one in the alley now, which is just enough to lift the prayer spell.
In the middle of the mana supply, the effect of the spell began to dissipate, and the luxurious carriage became a large pumpkin, and the horses pulling the cart turned back into two cute white mice, but the coachman did not turn back into a bronze man for the time being, and Cinderella deliberately left the last bit of magic for him, telling him to return to his original position and return to the original state.
"Okay, that's all for today, you go back early, don't go on any adventures."
The school bully girl was still a little uneasy, and emphasized to Diana again.
"Yes, yes, listen to you, who made you a senior sister older than me, I'll go back."
Diana, whose proposal was rejected, was originally a little unhappy, but the magical scene of the carriage turning into a pumpkin and the white horse turning into a mouse in front of her made her a little happy, and after satisfying the mysterious fantasy in her heart, she felt that it was rare to listen to her senior sister's words.
With that, she turned and left, and the carriage that picked her up stopped not far from the alley.
Seeing the back of her sister obediently leaving, until she watched her get into the carriage and leave, Cinderella breathed a sigh of relief, she picked up the pumpkin on the ground, and prepared to go home.
And the two mice next to the pumpkin looked at each other, but they did not run away, but chased after the girl step by step, these two ordinary mice seemed to have a little more spirituality after tonight's wonderful adventure.
Cinderella glanced back at the two little ones, and saw that they were white and tender and quite cute, so she didn't stop them.
It's just that she just walked out of the alley and was about to walk in the direction of home when her footsteps suddenly stopped.
On the side of the street not far from her, a painting stall had been opened at some point, and a figure whose face could not be seen clearly was really sitting by the drawing board and concentrating on painting.
As if feeling the girl's gaze, the stall owner raised his head and showed his face from behind the drawing board, it was an uncle who looked to be in his thirties, very handsome, blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Girl, how about it, do you want a painting, as long as a gold coin, I can draw you a picture of the blessing of you and your sweetheart."
The stall owner asked with a smile.
