Chapter 180: The Devil's Bend (1)
Three light meals were served on the table, Lu Jingfan's fried steak with assorted vegetables, Bai Xiaohan's tuna and prawn sandwich with vegetable salad, and Mr. X himself was served with tomato sauce pasta with creamy oyster soup.
Seeing this dish, Star Swirl couldn't help but feel a little emotional, once when he was busy collecting energy in the second time and space, he endured sleepiness several times just to wait to eat this dish.
Seeing that Mr. X wrapped a few noodles around his fork and placed them on Star Swirl's plate, she quickly stopped, "Don't give it to me, you can eat it yourself." ā
The hand holding the fork stiffened, and Lu Jingfan's curious gaze swirled back and forth between the two: "You two, what's weird today?" Hurry up and be honest. ā
"IāI mean noodles, how am I going to eat them now that I'm like this?" To ease the embarrassment, Star Swirl had no choice but to say this.
"Feed you." Mr. X said word for word.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking with himself, Star Swirl's head was full of black lines, and she reluctantly opened her mouth in embarrassment as Lu Jingfan stared.
A long, slippery noodle slipped into her mouth with a sweet and sour tomato sauce, and Star Swirl savored the familiar flavor, narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.
"Not bad!" Lu Jingfan clapped his hands, "The kitten will learn more about how to eat by itself in the future, and it is good to mix an Internet celebrity cat to supplement the family." ā
Star Swirl couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Talking cat, if you can become an Internet celebrity directly, do you need any other talents?" ā
"That's not going to work!" Lu Jingfan's head shook like a rattle, "You will scare humans like this." ā
"I think you're not scared by me, aren't you human?" Star Swirl sneered.
"I'm much more advanced than humans." Lu Jingfan snorted coldly.
"Open your mouth." A piece of noodles hangs over Star Swirl's nose. Star Swirl is speechless.
The meal came to an end with Lu Jingfan's uninterrupted voices, and it hadn't been so lively since Star Swirl had followed Mr. X to this plane.
"Then, it's not too early," Bai Xiaohan tugged at Lu Jingfan's sleeve, "It's time to go back." ā
"What's the hurry, it's rare to get together." Lu Jingfan fiddled with his knife and fork, and the food on the plate had already been swept away by him.
"Why don't you stay and wash the dishes, I just happened to go for a walk?" Mr. X suggested.
Lu Jingfan coughed twice and said, "Xiao Hanhan, did you just say that there is still something to deal with in the space?" Let's go. ā
Bai Xiaohan nodded with a smile and said to Mr. X: "Then let's withdraw first, don't you mind coming back next time?" ā
"Take this guy away." Mr. X looked at the restless yellow hair and said helplessly.
Sending the two to the door, Bai Xiaohan suddenly turned back to Star Swirl and said, "If I can, I'd like to hear about your troubles," a smile bloomed on her face, "The secret between girls, right?" ā
Star Swirl just nodded, she wouldn't tell her the secret of her heart easily because of Bai Xiaohan's kind attitude, she cared so much about herself for Mr. X.
That night, Star Swirl slept alone in her bedroom, and she dreamed again.
In the dream, a strange girl appeared with shallow tears on her pale face, and the person standing in front of her was none other than Clotho.
This time, Star Swirl doesn't mistake him for Mr. X, as his soft voice is very different from X's deep, magnetic voice.
"You called me?" Clotho asked the girl in front of her.
The girl stared at him with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe that this person would appear in front of her, and was stunned for a long time before she muttered, "Please take her away, okay?" ā
Clotho nodded: "Everything will be as you wish." ā
The girl's figure suddenly vanished, and behind Clotho was a blood-colored remnant sun, and he turned to Star Swirl and smiled, "How's it going, are you interested?" ā
"What do you mean?" Star Swirl asks, waking up from her dream. When I opened my eyes, I saw a wallpaper printed with pink flowers. I didn't expect Lu Jingfan to be such a girly person.
Clotho in the dream seems to be making an invitation to Star Swirl, who has to take his recent appearance in her dreams so often.
So who is the girl in the dream, and who does she want Clotho to take away?
"If only I could give a little more hint." Star Swirl thought to herself and looked out the window, as a meteor cut through the silence of the night, leaving a beautiful arc in the sky before disappearing into the sky.
Star Swirl remembers being told that the fall of a meteor symbolizes the end of a life, and a look of amaze emerges from her amber eyes.
The whole apartment was quiet, Star Swirl could still see the light in Mr. X's room through the crack in the door, it was so late at night, didn't he have a break?
Perhaps Star Swirl was still in a cold war with him, not wanting to guess what he was doing, so Star Swirl closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Star Swirl slept until the light was shining outside the window. I don't know when the window was opened, and a breeze blew on my face, a slight chill that suddenly blew away the sleepiness.
It seems that there has just been a rain outside, the air is strangely cool, and the young leaves on the book are still small, but there is some green everywhere, and spring is getting stronger.
Star Swirl gets out of bed and slowly sways into the hall.
Mr. X was sitting on the couch when he saw Star Swirl get up, and he turned his gaze to her, "How did you sleep last night?" ā
"I've been sleeping well since I came here." Star Swirl replies.
Mr. X nodded and turned his gaze to the TV screen opposite.
"This section of the road has been in trouble again and again, doesn't the construction party have any responsibility?" The voice of a woman in grief was heard on the television.
Star Swirl can't help but be drawn to the sound of what appears to be the same news she saw last night, with the headline "The Devil's Bend Becomes Tragedy Again".
The grief-stricken woman is supposed to be the mother of the rider who died in the picture, and the moment the girl holding her falls into Star Swirl's eyes, her breathing seems to stop.
That's the girl who appeared in her dream, and it's the girl who talks to Clotho.
"It's ...... What's going on? Star Swirl asked.
Mr. X replied: "The police have already investigated the cause of the accident, not because of the so-called 'devil's bend', but because the driver did not slow down when cornering, and the road was slippery on a rainy day. ā
"However, the family seems to be completely unacceptable, this sudden blow is too great." Star Swirl sighed.
"What, you're interested in this?" Mr. X raised an eyebrow.
Star Swirl's eyelids jumped, the same question, if it was a coincidence, would be too outrageous.
