Chapter 33: The Hunting Journey
The next time I have a party, I can't say anything about it.
Sleeping until the sun was shining, Nahi still felt her ears buzzing, as if she could still hear the deafening rock and the screams of the girls being smeared with cakes.
Struggling to prop herself up, shaking her head, kicking and tapping to the bathroom, she shoved her eyelids into her mouth with a toothbrush, and the fresh mint scent of the toothpaste finally made her feel a little more refreshed. In the mirror, her face was still full of sleep, and the reflection she saw in Dmitry's eyes last night gradually coincided...
It may be that she had been in a daze for a long time, and the blankness in her expression was fragile, and Dmitry, who had come back to her senses, suddenly panicked and took a few steps in front of her.
"Don't get me wrong, Nahi, I don't even know her," the words of explanation were incoherent, and the hand holding her shoulder was a little hard, as if trying to pull her into his arms, but he was afraid of missing her expression.
At that time, she was also so confused in his eyes, and he didn't understand what Dmitry was nervous about. It wasn't until he crossed his stiff shoulders and saw Angela-senpai who was left behind with a reluctant smile that Nahi reacted and glanced at him helplessly.
"I'm not mistaken, it's you who misunderstood."
It's a little funny, it's a little sad, how could he be so stupid, how could she doubt the vampire's loyalty to the singer.
Edward, who was not far away, was sneering, obviously hearing the movement and the hearts of several people, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to Bella, who had an inexplicable face. All right! Now even Bella is starting to have fun.
Linda on the side simply didn't look at it, this is still the melancholy and indifferent teacher Theo? She didn't believe it!
Dmitry didn't care, he was even a little glad that the episode just now allowed him to stand next to Nahi and use intimate whispers to dissuade those daring boys and girls who wanted to try their luck.
So, the second half of the party, for Nehi, was the process of being fed by Dmitry, and even Linda gave way with interest.
His eyes focused again, Naxi spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, snorted and rinsed his mouth, washed his face carefully, and finally got rid of getting out of bed and went downstairs refreshed.
Bella had already heard Nahi get up, just warmed up milk and sandwiches, saw her go downstairs, teleported over and exchanged a good morning kiss.
"Nahi, what are your plans for the next few days of vacation?" Edward, who was sitting on the couch next to him, asked lazily.
"In the last three days, I have to go to the school street dance club to rehearse, these days... Write your homework, what's wrong? ”
"We're going hunting, Emmett wants to go a little farther this time, to Canada, or Mexico, would Nehi be interested in coming along?"
"Wow! May I? Nahi raised her head suddenly, and the action of pouring milk could not contain the force, and a circle of milk appeared on her mouth.
"What are you doing with Nahi?" Bella asked, surprised, that Edward hadn't discussed it with her yet.
The Cullens had never taken Nahi with them before, and even during the few years they were outside, Edward and Bella took turns hunting and never let Nehi go with them. From an early age, Nahi refused to drink blood, which was her choice of diet, just as they did for a vegetarian diet. Therefore, they did not want Nehi to see that they succumbed to the animal side when hunting.
What's more, they will not get tired from the long distance of hunting in the mountains, but Nahi needs to eat and sleep.
And this time, most of the Tio family will also be together, although the newly transformed Remio is being trained by Gaspar and Dmitry, it is still early to stabilize, and it is really dangerous for Nehi.
Bella listed the reasons for her opposition one by one, and Naihi's originally shiny anticipation dimmed, yes, it's inconvenient...
Edward couldn't see Naxi's disappointment, and hurriedly fought for it: "What's the matter, although everyone goes together, you don't have to eat at the same time, just take turns." Mainly take Nahi to relax.,It turns out that I change places to play every few days.,Nahi is so happy.。 After coming back, because of school and moving, Nahi hasn't been far away. Isn't it, Naihi? ”
The little head nodded desperately, and looked at Bella.
"Then go for two or three days, how can Naxi rest?"
"We have houses in Canada and Mexico, so naturally we have a place to stay at night."
"Remio..."
"Remio has a dozen of us staring at it. Besides, Dmitry won't let Nashi have trouble. ”
In the end, Bella agreed, not persuaded by Edward, but really couldn't resist Nahi's well-behaved and eager eyes.
"Nahi is going with you this time?" Alice walked in the door with a dancing stride, her voice like a cheerful lark, and she had foreseen a wonderful family outing.
Gasper's brow furrowed, apparently expecting the game feast to come.
Esme smiled and followed, "Carlisle has an operation in the morning", she explained the temporary absence of the Karen family.
"I'll call the Tio family and Emmett," Edward jumped to his feet and kissed Bella, who was still a little worried.
"I've already called it," Alice blinked, "Rosley, they'll be there soon, and the Tiou family will be fine, and we'll go over there and go, and Carlisle will go straight to the rendezvous." ”
Leaving in the afternoon, Nahi hurried back to her room to pack her things, vampires could come on a trip at any time, she couldn't. Toiletries, power banks, mobile phones, these are necessary, as well as tablets, and students with homework cannot afford to hurt. Food... After a while, I went to the kitchen refrigerator to search for it, it may not be enough, and I have to go to the supermarket to buy it at noon.
There was the sound of the engine stalling downstairs, and it was estimated that the two of them had arrived. Nahi quickly stuffed the "necessary items" on the bed into her bag and staggered downstairs.
"Oh, my baby Nahi, long time no see," Sure enough, it was Rosley who came, and before Naxi could stand firmly, she was hugged into her arms by this blonde beauty and covered with red lip prints.
Emmett grinned at Nahi and patted the big bag on her back: "Don't worry, Nehi, I promise you won't lack anything for two days." ”
Staring at the nearly one-man tall hiking bag, Nahi's jaw was about to drop, "What are you bringing here?" ”
"Let me think... Tents, sleeping bags - just in case you want to camp - microwave, coffee machine, electric kettle, eggs, milk, bread, coffee beans, mud, instant pizza and all kinds of canned food, some raw steaks, chicken steaks and fish steaks or something, that's probably it, dear? ”
Emmett turned to Rosely, and with a perfunctory nod of approval, he turned back to Nahi, "Do you want to bring pajamas and pillows?" There's still room for it. ”
Nahi: ......
Bella still remembered the way of life as a human being, and was also shocked by this battle. But the other Culens had appreciative expressions of "you were thoughtful", and Esme even opened the fridge to find some more food to carry.
Nahi almost wanted to rush over and shake their shoulders wildly, shouting, "Please wake up." ”
But character determines fate, she just wiped her face and resisted weakly: "We only go for 2 days, not 2 years..."
"So we didn't bring a rice cooker or frying pan," Rosely said as a matter of course, and complained to Edward, "It's all your fault, every time it's such a whim, we knew Nahi was going, so we went over and cleaned up the house over there." ”
No, no, no, you don't have to!
Seeing that the big backpack was still stuffed, Nahi decided to struggle a little more, "Actually, you can catch a rabbit or fish for me, I'll just bake and eat it myself, I really don't need to bring these..."
"Oh! By the way, you can also eat barbecue! I'm going to have to bring some salt and pepper, and there's a grill at home, so I'll look for it. Esme suddenly realized, turned to the pantry to pull the barbecue, and Rosely turned to the kitchen to get the spice jar, both of them automatically ignoring the second half of Nahi's words.
Make your mouth owe! Natsuki couldn't wait to pump herself, but she couldn't see the bag that was getting fuller and fuller.
Edward walked over with a smile and patted her on the shoulder: "Raising you is one of their few pleasures, you can be considerate, huh?" ”
Also... Okay, too.
So, when he went out, Emmett's bag became a bag for him and Gaspar.
By the time Theo's family saw the larger bag in Dmitry's hand, Nehi was already blank.
Edward raised his voice and teased: "So, you automatically gave up the right to carry Nehi?" ”
They are going to Canada this time, and they plan to use a run, and the drive is too time-consuming. If you run, the route is much freer, and you can also vent the energy of being confined to human-like life for too long.
Dmitry ignored him, tossed the bag to Remio with a flick of his hand, and teleported to Nehi's side.
The afternoon sun was just right, and although it was mostly obscured by the dense foliage, there were still small beams of light squeezing through the layers of obstacles, casting a faint sparkle on the vampire's handsome face, making it even more tender with peach blossom eyes.
Cold fingers lifted Naihi's chin, "Didn't sleep well at night?" ”
There were elders all around, and Naxi was embarrassed to be tired of being crooked with him in public, so he hid back: "It's okay." ”
Dmitry frowned, moved away and came back in an instant, shook off a cloak and wrapped the little girl, and tied the hood carefully, before turning around and picking her up, turning his head and saying, "There is still a long time on the road, you can sleep for a while." ”
There were teasing eyes all around, and Naxi was very embarrassed, blushing and whispering, "How can you sleep like this?"
But as it turned out, it was really possible to fall asleep!
At the beginning, Nahi was very excited, and the scenery around her suddenly blurred, becoming an afterimage with staggered lines.
She had never moved so fast, and when she used to travel, she would occasionally be carried around by Edward, but only for the scenery or short jumps over obstacles, not for speed. It's the first time I've been in a hurry like this.
But slowly, the eardrums agitated, she couldn't hear anything clearly, her head was not enough to supply blood, she became dizzy, the oncoming wind was tightly blocked by Dmitry, the wool cloak was warm, she seemed to be properly placed in the corner of the world, her eyelids gradually sank, and she fell asleep...
