Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Friendship of a Maiden
Summer is the most vivid season, as if the contrast of every qiē color has been adjusted to the maximum, the bright is more vivid, and the gray is more gray. The blue-gray Grande House, in the bright red sunset, is the same mole that has been painted on Zack's patched 'Dylan' cheek.
The members of the Grande House waiting for dinner are all in the backyard, some are trying to catch the last sun of the day, such as Alpha Benjamin, and some are just saying goodbye to the sun that has tormented them for a day, such as Zack the vampire. He smiled and looked at Hongyan spreading from the west, didn't know what he was thinking about and stared at the horizon with his eyebrows raised, what a pompous guy.
The sound of tires crushing the uneven road came from far and near, and the black limousine wound into Grande's backyard. There is no one else but Lola who has this habit and this style. People who belong to the category of guests will consciously stop in the vestibule, how can there be a reason to rush directly into other people's homes, but Lola has never regarded herself as a guest. Well, she has that privilege.
Before the car could stop, the girl pushed open the door and rushed to Zach who was standing in the back porch with a clear target.
"Lola. Zach waved and smiled, "Alice is on it, dinner is ......"
 %.;“ I'm not here to find Alice!" Lola pushed Zach without any politeness, "What did you guys do!!"
couldn't push Zack, but he was pushed back by the force, and Lola, who was about to fall off the back porch on her back, was held by Matthew who rushed out of nowhere, well, it was a hug. The wolf cub did not return home because he was discussing the funeral with Louise and was going to stay with Grande for the day.
Matthew's movements seemed to be instinctive, but after the instinct passed, he glanced nervously at Zach and noticed that Zach was smiling. Matthew, who had never expected to understand his boss, looked at Benjamin in the hammock for help.
"Let go of me!" Lola's body struggled to hug her own person on the short ladder in the back porch. God knows what annoyance this young girl's mind is in charge of at this time. Someone who hugged her, or someone who hugged him, actually went to see another person. She struggled to push away the overwhelmed Matthew, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "You stay away from me!" The girl's thinking is like a maze, and the interpretation will be confusing.
"What did we do?" Zach smiled and reached out to grab Lola, who was about to lose her balance, and lifted it gently. He helped the girl up to the back porch, as if casually asking, "Why are you here at this time?"
Dinner at the Grand House has been postponed since the broadcast of 'Cook's Kitchen' was brought forward. Now it's time for the chubby Cook to wrap up on the screen, and Alice is still sitting in front of the TV enjoying the end of the 'date'.
At this time, Lola should stay at her house, have dinner with the family, and listen to Mrs. Barton talk about the trivialities of the adult world, instead of running to the Grande House in a rage.
Lola was about to speak, but Zach interrupted. "Does Mrs. Patton know you're here? Don't tell me you haven't returned. ”
Zach looked in the direction of the limousine, and the driver, who knew Grande well, looked bitterly and pleadingly.
Zach shook his head helplessly, and said to Matthew, who was still at a loss, "Go call Barton Manor and tell them that Lola is here, so they don't have to worry." ”
It seems that Lola didn't come home at all. At this time, I should have just finished volunteering at Parker Elementary School, and then I came directly.
Matthew has something to do. Oh and ran to the office.
"What did you do to Yuri!" God knows what Lola was angered by again. The girl's eyes glared at Zack in front of her, shouting excitedly.
Zach looked confused, "Yuri, I'm sorry, if I hadn't accidentally heard your friend, Kepler, wouldn't I've known the name until I heard her say it." ”
"Don't take me for a child!" Lola was even more excited. Waving her hands and pushing Zack again, she really didn't know who she learned this habit from, like the provocative gestures between the boys, "Mr. Smith must be looking for you to do ......"
Lola was bounced away again, pursing her lips before she could finish her sentence. There was a hint of grievance in the anger on his face. Zach understands that this is the time for Kyle to rush up and defend his sister's beating, only now, God knows where Kyle is.
Zach sighed, ignoring Lola's resistance, and pressed the girl's slightly twitching shoulder, "I won't treat you like a child, but I won't tell you anything either." ”
"Lola. Alice stood in front of the door on the back porch, and the banshee looked nervously at Zack's hand on Lola's shoulder.
Zack nodded comfortingly at Alice, patted Lola, who was trembling slightly with her head down, and stepped aside.
"Lola, let's go up. Alice nodded at Zack, and the landlord shook her shoulders more and more Lola, and walked down the stairwell.
The two girls just disappeared from view, and Zach, who had just walked towards Benjamin, was flicked by Alpha's finger, "Go cook!"
Zach pouted helplessly, Alice had to accompany her friends, and Grande still had someone to feed.
Alice's room is very simple, the dresser in front of the bed only began to be used after Louise and Lola appeared, and even her wardrobe was mostly dressed by Lola. The two girls sat cross-legged on Alice's bed as usual. In the face of friends, the limits of the topic are opened.
"Kai, what's wrong with Kepler?" Alice was still a little nervous, she didn't know if she could comfort her friend.
Lola glanced at Alice with slightly red eyes, some blame, some helplessness, and finally shook her head, took a deep breath and steadied her tone, "Alice, sue me, did Mr. Smith entrust you to deal with Yuri." ”
Before Alice could speak, Lola said quickly, "Don't deny it! I heard my grandmother talking to her friends on Sunday afternoon. The helplessness on Lola's face became heavier, and she seemed to be suddenly distracted, not knowing if it was not her friend's sense of security for her, "They don't care at all, I'm listening to it!"
Alice lowered her head, she wasn't ready to deny anything, at most as silent as she was now, the same as yesterday. It's just that before the dust settles, Alice has the courage to look her friend in the eye, and now, she doesn't have the courage.
After a long silence, Alice whispered the initial question, "Kepler, is she okay?"
Lola inhaled deeply, looked away, and shook her head. Her hand pressed on Alice, who had been keeping her head down, "I'm not blaming you. I just ......"
It's just that the world of minors is controlled by adults. This is what Lola wants to express, but the girl's just passing language score is not enough for her to make such a summary.
Lola may not like Yuri's kids, but Kepler does. So in the afternoon, Kepler suddenly ran to Parker Elementary School crying and cried to Lola that Yuri had dropped out of school, that he could no longer be seen, that there was no hope again. The only thing that occupies Lola's brain, who is a friend, is the sad Kepler.
Then, there was a sudden turn in the atmosphere.
"That's a good thing for Kepler!" Lola's face suddenly became firm, and of course it was also meant to comfort her friend.
Alice looked up at Lola, who had suddenly changed her tone, thinking, and finally barely put on a smile.
That's the difference between Lola and Kyle, a very, very helpless difference. Kyle's wayward football dreams were all but wiped out by the encirclement. And Lola, Lola may not have realized that she has been too deeply influenced by her own family, and her worries about her friends are just a small detour after all, and in the end, she still stands on the position that those in the West End indoctrinate that 'Yuri' is an intruder. Otherwise, this conclusion would not have been reached.
"Will Kepler be okay?" The look in Alice's eyes was hidden in a deep outline, and the light was not bright enough for Lola not to notice, and Alice tried to continue the direction of the friendly topic that made her feel warm.
Lola shook her head, "I don't know, but she's grounded. She came to me crying that Yuri had dropped out of the cheerleading club training when she had dropped out of school, and that it wasn't long before she was kidnapped by Mr. Smith's men...... Picked it up. ”
Alice tried to imagine the scene, and no wonder Lola was so angry when she first arrived.
"Will you go to see her in the evening?" asked Alice.
Lola nodded in frustration.
Alice put on a face as pleasant as she could, and took Lola's hand, "Then let's go get something for her." Alice was naturally referring to food, and the banshee had nothing to do with it.
"Okay. Lola nodded, and walked out of the room after Alice.
As the sky darkened, the light in the corridor was unusually dim, and the two girls carefully groped around the walls. The lights are on.
Danny glanced at the two girls who were looking back at him, quickly bypassed them, and headed downstairs.
As the only soul-type alien race before the Grande House, of course, you have to leave aside the groundbound spirit Ryan who has been thrown to the graveyard. Danny acts as Dylan's teacher to Grande's new member, teaching him the necessary knowledge. In his hand he held a strip wrapped in cloth, a silver cone left behind when the Grande House was attacked by hunters.
Danny was going to show Dylan the Necro something to dodge, he had come up to find something, and now he was going back to the basement.
Alice seemed to remember something, and pulled Lola carefully and said, "He's my brother, Firefly's brother, but I don't know him very well." ”
The girl's secret is the most distracting thing.
Lola looked at Danny's back and patted Alice on the shoulder as if comfortingly. Because Alice's evasive eyes were mistaken for worry by her, Lola had a hint of apology on her face, "I'm sorry that I ignored your business because of my own upset." ”
Alice shook her head, a smile on her face that didn't quite spread, "Let's go to the kitchen." ”
For the maintenance of girly friendship, our banshee Alice is getting better and better. (To be continued......)
