Volume 2 Puppet Chapter 44 Princess Zhenyue
Chapter 44 Princess Zhenyue
This afternoon, Corelli worked part-time in a coffee shop as usual, and although she was a little confused for the past two days, she still put on a gentle smile when she met her friend Rick in the store.
However, when she saw Rick's look of wanting to speak and stopped, Corelle immediately sensed the problem, not to mention that it should still be class time in the second grade, because Ric has skipped class more than once or twice, but Vickers and Myron, who are almost inseparable from Rick on weekdays, are not there at this moment, how can Corelli not feel strange?
"Rick, don't you look like you're here for coffee?
Rick nodded, hesitated, and then his eyes became firm again, raised his head and looked directly into Corelli's eyes, and said, "Corelli, I have something to tell you!"
Corelli subconsciously avoided Rick's eyes, and said with a smile: "Ric, if you have anything to say next time, I have to work now! However, since you are here, sit down and have a cup of coffee, the coffee here is delicious, I recommend you to drink it......"
"Corelli!" Rick interrupted Corelli.
Corelli fell silent.
Rick came alone this time, and it was a decision she made with Lore to avoid causing too much resistance from Corelli at first, but it seems that it doesn't work out well so far.
Rick sighed inwardly, and then said seriously, "Corelli, I already know everything about you!
Corelli couldn't help but frown, staring into Rick's eyes, as if she was going to see the bottom of Rick's heart like this, and Rick looked back at Corelli without flinching.
Eventually, Corelli turned her head and said, "Sorry, I still have to work!"
The same words, but this time they are a little heavier.
Rick was also a little angry, and grabbed Corelli's arm: "Corelli, aren't we good friends, why don't you want to tell me anything?"
Corelli was silent.
Rick also became more and more angry, and just as she was about to continue speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by a female voice:
"Good friends can't quarrel!"
Rick turned his head to see a well-dressed middle-aged woman walking towards her with a warm smile.
Corelli politely shouted, "Store manager." ”
The store manager smiled and nodded, and then looked at Like with a smile and said, "I'm Rena, and I'm the person in charge of this store." This young lady is a friend of Corelli, isn't she?"
Rick didn't know how to react for a moment, so he nodded.
Store manager Rena said, "Corelli, I see your friend."
Friendly seems to have something important to look for you, and the store is not busy at this time, so you can leave work early!"
Corelli immediately wanted to refuse: "Store manager, I ......"
Rena smiled and shook her head, interrupting Corelli's words: "Can't refuse!Corelli, you haven't been in my store for a short time, and I like you a lot, I'm a lot older than you, so I'm going to talk to you as an elder today." ”
"Kelaili, I also found out in the past two days, you always look absent-minded, although I don't know what difficulties you have, but I can't let my friends worry about it!
Corelli bit her lip, the expression on her face complicated.
Rena smiled and patted Corelli's arm and said, "Go to the back and change your clothes, don't make your friends wait." ”
Corelli bowed and said, "Thank you, manager!"
......
After leaving the café, Rick takes Corelli with her to Lore's apartment.
The five Lore and Myron Vickers were all gathered here, except for Kylo, who was quietly reading as if he had nothing to do with him, and the others all looked worried and anxious.
When she saw Lore and the others, Corelli subconsciously frowned, but fortunately, Corelli also seemed to have made a decision, and although she was surprised at this time, she didn't say much.
After a brief introduction, everyone can be regarded as acquainted, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, although Lore's small team is not famous, but Lore himself is still quite famous, the daughter of General Lance, the first place in this year's competition in the hospital, how can Corelli not know.
Corelli didn't around the bush and said bluntly, "What are you looking for me?"
Although Corelli had foreseen it in her heart, she was still reluctant to take the initiative to say it, and even the expression on her face was that smile with a slight sense of detachment.
Of course, Lore also understands why Corelli is like this, changing places, if someone comes to point fingers at his life in the name of helping him, he will definitely lose his temper, not to mention, Corelli doesn't know that Lore is out of good intentions, and now it seems that Corelli can still speak calmly, which is already very good.
Lore was not hypocritical, and said directly: "Senior Sister Corelli, I know that you are very angry now, and think that we have deceived you in the name of Rick, so I will say sorry first." ”
"But please understand that Rick is a good friend of yours, and she's been worried about you lately, and we're friends with Rick, and we're just as worried about her troubled look. ”
Rick glanced at Lore with some surprise, she didn't expect this weekday to be one at all
The guy who quarreled when he met actually said such a thing, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
Feeling Ric's touched eyes, Lore also felt a little embarrassed, because she originally thought that these words were just a social rhetoric, so as to make Corelli trust her more, but when she said it, Lore realized that she seemed to think so in her heart.
Corelli glanced at Rick, sighed, and said to Lore, "I see, so let's get straight to the point!" Rick just told me that she already knows about me, and you should be the same. Can you tell me what you all know?"
Lore took out a few pieces of paper from the space ring, handed them to Corelli, and said, "I'm sorry again, in fact, some time ago, I secretly investigated some of your things, one is because I am curious, I want to know what kind of girl can be praised by Like like an angel, and secondly, we also want to indirectly help Like solve his troubles." Of course, these are my personal dictatorships, and they have nothing to do with Ric, she's just worried about you, and she's afraid that you'll hate you if you cross the line. Hope you understand. ”
"I see. Corelli simply replied, captivated by what was on the page.
Her pupils contracted slightly, her fists clenched slightly, and she gritted her teeth and flipped through the sheets of paper and the memories.
Rick's face was worried, but Corelli's expression didn't change much, just kept frowning, looking at the content of the paper word by word, and recalling the pain over the years bit by bit.
After a while, Corelli put down the papers, looked up with her eyes closed, and said softly, "Thank you for investigating so carefully. Alas, I originally thought that as long as I didn't think about those previous experiences, they would slowly fade away! But now when I look at these words, I realize that those experiences have never disappeared a bit. ”
Corelli lowered her head, her hands trembling and holding her face, her voice full of remorse: "And when I recalled these scars, I realized that the wounds on Mino's body were so painful!"
Corelli couldn't help but sobbed softly, and Rick approached Corelli's side worriedly, hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and hugged Corelli in his arms, just like that rainy night, when an angel hugged Miss Sheep.
Corelli finally burst out crying, and Rick gently patted Corelli on the back, trying to give her a little comfort.
Corelli cried and said, "Rick, you know what? I'm scared, I've always wanted to run away from that house, but I can't leave Mino, so I can only keep running away like this, keep running away, pretend I'm strong, pretend I can't see Mino's sad face......"
Rick said softly, "Well, I know. ”
"I really hate it
I hate that I don't have the courage, I hate that I can't do anything, I hate that I only run away...... Rick ...... Can you help me?"
Rick wiped tears from the corners of Corelli's eyes and said with a smile, "Okay." ”
Seeing Corelli's open heart and seeing Rick's gentle smile, Lore was very moved and emotional:
The most gentle girl in the world? As long as there is a heart, every girl is the most gentle.
But now is not the time to be moved, Lore coughed lightly and said, "Rick." ”
"Yes, I know!" Rick nodded, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said to Corelli, "Corelli, there are only two ways we can think of at the moment, and we have discussed it with your sister, she means to listen to you. So, the choice is now yours. ”
Corelli nodded earnestly.
Rick continued: "The first way is to persuade your parents to ...... without leaving the house."
Corelli shook her head: "It's useless, no one knows those two people better than me, I tried my best to enter the Lanze Demon Martial Academy, just to be able to make them change their minds, but in the end, it was useless." ”
Rick pursed his lips and continued, "The second way, that is to leave this house with your sister, this is what you have been doing, right?"
Corelli nodded: "Yes, staying in that home will only make it more painful, I am like this, so is Mino, leaving is our only choice!
Rick said: "Money is not a problem for us at all, you don't have to refuse, this is just what friends should do, as for where you go, we have also thought of a few, but for now, I have a better recommendation!"
Corelli wondered, "Where is it?"
Rick smiled and said slowly, "Zhenyue!"
Vickers and Myron were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss!"
Rick waved his hand to stop the two, and Vickers and Myron looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they could only sigh.
Luo Er was also stunned, this choice was not the result of their previous discussion: "Zhenyue? Zhenyue of the Zhenyue Empire?"
Rick took a deep breath, and under everyone's puzzled expressions, he got up and stood in front of everyone, Vickers and Myron saw this, so they had to stand up and bow behind Rick.
In front of everyone, Rick lightly lifted his dress and performed a very elegant aristocratic etiquette, but the Lore were confused, because they had never seen this etiquette.
Rick smiled slightly and said, "I'm really sorry for hiding it from everyone for so long, so let's officially introduce myself today." The little woman's full name: Rick Ryson Sherlock, is the sixteenth princess of the Zhenyue Empire. ”
