Chapter 146: Nora's Invitation
Chapter 146
In the cold winter, snow is falling, and the streets that used to be bustling with activity have become extremely deserted under the freezing cold, and there is hardly anyone to be seen except for the patrols.
The shops on both sides of the road are similarly locked with their gates.
"Whew~"
A petite figure on the side of the street let out a sigh of relief at his somewhat cold hands.
The snowflakes fell on her shoulders to form two small hills, but she didn't beat them.
Picking up a huge that looked like she was herself, she cleared the snow along the side of the road.
It's the early winter morning when the sun is still lazy and asks for an extra five minutes of sleep.
So even in a big city like the imperial capital, the residents at this time all fell asleep in soft and warm beds.
This person who diligently cleans the streets before dawn in the morning is Diana-chan who is working hard for her dreams.
Her dream certainly couldn't be to be a cleaner sweeping the streets. Her dreams are much bigger.
But any dream requires a certain amount of initial capital, doesn't it?
At this moment, let a person who is used to cultivating immortals get up early every night to work, what else can make her have such motivation except for dreams, except for Nunako.
Tightening the scarf around her neck, Diana took her tools and went to a small room.
There was a strong knock on the heavy wooden door.
"Knock knock! Knock knock!! ”
If Diana wanted to, she could even punch the wooden door that blocked her, but the price of this door was by no means what Diana could afford at the moment.
"Who's in the morning!"
There was an angry shout from a middle-aged woman in the door, no matter who was disturbed to have a good morning dream, he would not have a good face, let alone a menopausal aunt who was over the middle of the year.
"It's me! Diana! Yesterday I said I would come this morning to get paid! ”
In the blink of an eye, Diana has been working here for almost 20 days.
Although the salary is not very high here in the imperial capital, it is still very tempting for Diana, who has no place to eat and live, because of the food and lodging.
"Wow!"
Just like all the bosses of demanding employees, this middle-aged aunt looks like she is constipated.
Holding a few gold coins in his hand, he kept trembling.
The gaze that looked at Diana was also full of hatred, what! It looks like I'm robbing.
"How many days are you going to be here?"
Holding the idea that one day is a day, the middle-aged aunt threw out an olive branch to renew the contract.
The hatred in her eyes was replaced by supplication, and she looked at Diana with tears in her eyes.
I hope she will be merciful and spare her poor old man.
“no! I refuse! ”
Diana grabbed a few gold coins from the table and walked out of the room in a wary backwards.
Leaving the middle-aged aunt alone to cry sadly.
What a sinful fellow.
But this has nothing to do with Diana, when she walks on the road with a huge amount of money in her arms, her steps are very light and full of spring.
I'm in a very good mood.
The rest of his savings plus the small amount of money he earned in the past few days are enough for him to spend the rest of the winter vacation in a good way.
Even on New Year's Day, you can call Sisola for a few delicious meals.
Only at this time will she feel that life is so beautiful and how great it is to work and earn money.
And while Diana was still planning how she would spend the rest of her days, a gorgeously dressed woman on the corner of the street caught her attention.
A long black and bright hair was scattered over his shoulders, and he wore a scarf made of expensive animal fur around his neck, which was simply the altitude difference between Yao Ming and Xiao Si on Diana's neck.
The snow-white trench coat with thick-soled boots as white as the snow on the side of the road makes the whole person exude a heroic spirit that does not allow women to shave their eyebrows.
"Nora?"
The roommates who have eaten and lived with him for half a year can still recognize them even if they are dressed up beautifully.
Nora stood in the middle of the street with her hands in her trench coat pockets.
With her head down, the hair on her forehead hid her equally dark eyes.
"How did you get back? It's been a long time since school started here, right? And I remember that your house is not close to the imperial capital, right? ”
Although Nora behaved a little strangely, Diana took the initiative to greet her.
"Long time no see, Diana."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she had wept bitterly. Of course, it may also be the reason why the cold weather makes her shiver.
"Huh? Well, long time no see, wait! Not long, right? It's been less than a month. ”
Nola tightened the white trench coat on her body.
Said tremblingly.
"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for the New Year?"
"Well, it's nothing, I'm planning to find a cheap rental house to eat and wait for death. What's wrong? ”
After listening to Diana's next arrangement, Nora gritted her teeth lightly and saw that it was not clear.
"So, how about going to my house? Today, I happened to come to the imperial capital to do some errands, and I remembered that your living expenses should have been almost spent. So, in order to prevent you from starving to death on the streets, how about inviting you to my house for the New Year? I'm not very good! I don't feel impressed! ”
According to a scrub rider who has never seen it before, there seems to be something about him that Nora's parents or some kind of elder are very concerned about.
And it's also related to the entangled group of men in black.
Add in the invitation of today's sad expression of Nora.
This should be a feast.
In that case, what reason did Diana have to take the risk?
"I'm sorry."
Diana said as she scratched the back of her head.
However, the expression on Nora's face after hearing these words softened a little, and a relieved smile gradually reappeared on her face.
"Please wait for me to pack up and go with you, how can I not go if there is something delicious! Right! ”
Nora's face froze.
"Huh?"
But Diana had already left in stride to prepare her luggage.
"Don't go...... A sucker. ”
Nora subconsciously reached out and tried to grab Diana's back.
She couldn't believe that Diana didn't see the true meaning of her awkward invitation.
But why?
"Hmph, why don't you want to save your sister? It's better not to mess around, or I'll report it to your teacher, give me some attention. ”
The coachman in the carriage next to him leaned over and bowed respectfully, but the words he said were indeed threatening and fierce.
In the eyes of others, this scene is also a humble subordinate reporting to his own young lady, and there is nothing worth noting.
