Jill stepped forward to separate the two, for fear that Caroline would not hold back, and inserted the knife into Borg's body first: "The door is locked, and you need your knife." ”

Borg turned to the side to make way for Caroline.

Caroline didn't step forward immediately, but put it in Jill's ear: "Don't go out yet." ”

She strode to the door and saw that the keyhole and the crack in the middle section were tightly blocked by aluminum paste. Needless to say, this must be the work of a mysterious man. She inserted the preheated knife into the crack in the door, slashed it from top to bottom, and then pushed it lightly, and the door opened.

"Let's go!" Caroline said to Borg.

Borg withdrew his gaze from Jill and followed Caroline to the side of the road. All sorts of people came out of the brownstone house opposite, and joined the crowd here, going their own way. After a while, a green armored car slowly drove towards them. At this time, Borg, who was standing behind Caroline, quietly took a small step back, and suddenly turned and ran to the other side of the street.

Jill, who was watching from behind the door, was about to open his mouth to warn, but a second later, Caroline turned around and put Borg on the ground with a leg sweep. His entire face slammed into the ground, knocking out his front teeth.

"I'm glad you're alive!" Caroline half-crouched, and said coldly to Borg, who was covering her mouth and snorting. Because she didn't deliberately lower her voice, she attracted the attention of many passers-by, but she didn't care at all.

Borg laughed a few times and stopped struggling, and obediently lay down on his back. After the car stopped, he got up and saw two of his team members sitting on the left and right in the car, no, the former team members. He smiled wryly at them, unhurriedly passed between them, and drilled into the back of the armored car. The door was shut, and he saw through the small square Caroline walking into the house, her back getting blurred...... The moment finally came.

FOR THE FIRST STOP, CAROLINE TAKES JILL TO A MEN'S BOUTIQUE CALLED "ALESS" ON CADMAN STREET. As soon as I entered the store, a beautiful and dignified woman dressed in professional attire, no more than thirty years old, walked briskly to Jill and said with a little surprise: "Boss, it's really you, I thought I was dazzled." I haven't seen you in more than half a year. I heard that you traveled to Asia, and I was really envious. ”

"Her name is Ning, and she is the service manager here, and she has been with you since the store was opened." Caroline leaned into Jill's ear and added.

Jill was stunned, but he really didn't know what to say to the female shopping guide, so he could only respond with a smile.

"Ning, he has to deal with the injury on his leg quickly." Before Ning could speak again, Caroline interjected, pointing to the blood on Jill's left trouser leg.

"Gee, look I'm overjoyed." Ning covered her small mouth and chuckled. She leads Jill and Caroline in front, making a "bang" sound as she steps on her high heels.

The three entered a semicircular compartment. The curved and translucent wall is pasted with four three-dimensional landscape paintings stitched together in a gradient fashion, and eight wooden fitting rooms are set up in a regular manner in front, and then there are four benches in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, and in the middle are various sportswear and emergency medicine boxes placed on a low table in the shape of old tree roots.

"My sister didn't come to the store today?" Caroline picked up the pill box and half-crouched down to deal with Jill's wounds.

"Nope. She said that these days, the school has to prepare for swimming competitions, and it will be busy, so she can't come. Ning replied.

"I haven't seen her in over a week. obviously lives under one roof, but the time can't catch up, and there is no chance to say good morning. Caroline shook her head slightly. At this time, she almost fixed it with the last piece of tape gauze, and her movements were not unclean.

"Next, I'll have to help you pick out a decent outfit." Caroline stood up and said to Jill.

Walking out of the cubicle, Ning went to entertain the guests. Because it is my own store, the clothes in the store are all in line with Jill's aesthetic, so it didn't take long to put together a set: a burgundy plaid long-sleeved shirt, a gray baseball jersey with a white cat's head printed on the chest, a pair of pure black cotton and linen slacks, and a pair of trendy brand sneakers. Among them, the gray baseball uniform was something he didn't want, but he couldn't resist Caroline, so he had to compromise. In the process of changing clothes, Caroline helped him put on a similar style and a more casual dress, and secretly paid for it.

Jill changed his clothes and walked out, and at a glance he saw 4 cardboard boxes of different sizes placed at Caroline's feet, and when he asked, he realized that these were all picked by Caroline for him, and that he had already paid for them. This, he thought, was far beyond his current financial affordability, right?

"The money is as if I borrowed it, and you can pay it back slowly, with no deadline." Caroline smiled and whispered, "This hasn't changed, I like to settle accounts." ”

Because there was still some time before Chinese food, Caroline took Jill to a dessert shop called "Semi-Sugarism" on the second stop. Although this dessert shop is small, it is exquisitely decorated, and there are customers constantly coming and going, and the business is very hot.

Standing in front of the glass case, looking at the dazzling desserts in it, Jill really didn't feel cold, not that he hated it but that he was not used to eating it. He was about to push back, but Caroline had already ordered a small nut brownie for him.

"Just take a bite! Just take a small bite, really. Caroline advised.

So, Jill scooped up a small spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"It tastes okay!" Caroline looked proudly at Jill, who was sitting across from her.

Jill nodded. He found that only a little sugar was put in the dessert, but it could bring out the sweetness to the fullest, so that people like him who don't eat sweets much accepted sweets instantly. Moreover, the taste is so familiar.

"When we get together, my sister and I will make an appointment to sit here for a few hours. Because I know that you don't like sweets very much, I symbolically call you two or three times and then never call you again. My sister and I just got to enjoy the world together. Caroline said with a smile.

Caroline's words made Jill fall into a memory: one day at noon, Ina brought him a pizza, and after a small bite, he realized that it was a dessert, which could be so smooth, sweet but not greasy. He asked Ina where she bought it, and she said that she would keep it secret for the time being, and she would find out next time she went with her.

"What do you think about so devoted?" Caroline's words brought his thoughts back.

Jill shook her head and asked rhetorically, "Your sister is Ina, right?" ”

"Yes." Caroline's eyes slid involuntarily to the lower left, "I'll admit, I didn't really mention my sister's name to you, but it's clear that you know now, no matter how you do." I can ask you a question, right? How much do you remember about your sister and us? ”

Despite Caroline's deliberate efforts to hide her micro-expressions, Jill instinctively took in them and slowed them down at twice the frame rate, etching them in her mind. It had happened once in the Brownstone House, and now that it had happened, he felt that it was not just an accident. That being the case, it wasn't difficult for him to read Caroline's words. Caroline was justified in suspecting that he was faking amnesia, but that didn't mean he had to explain, at least not now. Now that his head is a mess, where do he start?

"I only remember a small part of Ina, the address of the convent, and Fernando's name." Jill made an effort to remember. Inadvertently, he made another bet. He bets that Fernando and Caroline met because Fernando was his and Ina's mutual friend.

"Well, let me add something you don't know." Caroline paused, "Two months ago, my sister and Beckett, your brother, got married. ”

Jill's body leaned back, but didn't lean back in the chair. May 5, 2043, was a day that would not be erased from his memory as he saw the woman he loved and the man he loved, his brother, walk into the white auditorium, stand under the cross to receive the priest's speech and blessings, exchange rings, and kiss each other......

He bent down to take a second and large bite of the nut brownie into his mouth, then leaned heavily back in his chair. A long silence ensued. He looked out the window, not knowing what to see, but suddenly noticed that there were always three or five more passers-by to the east than to the west, and the metal sheet in the diagonal corner was particularly dazzling by the sun.

As he slowly finished eating the rest of the nut brownie, Caroline's voice rang out, "Let's go." ”

He stood in the sun. Because of the sudden wind, the warmth that sprinkled on him was blown away so effortlessly.

"It's not a good idea to describe the weather as 'weird'." He looked up and saw that the sky was divided into two halves, half sunny and half cloudy. There was a clear and straight line between them, and at this time, Agria's ship was located on it. It slowly crossed the line and burrowed into the clouds.

"This is the fourth time, and it's not new at all." Caroline sighed.

The third stop is a Chinese restaurant called "May Fourth" on the corner. The façade of the store is very simple, the location is not good, but there is an endless stream of customers. Caroline said that Jill had brought her and Ina here twice and was a repeat customer, and that the store often attracts people who miss the taste as much as they do.

The dishes are mainly Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, supplemented by Hunan cuisine. Caroline's spicy beer duck, dry-fried bells, glutinous rice meatballs, and home-cooked old tofu are all what Jill likes to eat, and she really holds on after letting go of her stomach.

"What's going on for the afternoon? Would you like to come with me to JA and meet Fernando? After the meal, Caroline asked.

"No, I'd like to hang out alone."

At the door of the store, Caroline handed Jill a black phone: "Feel free to contact me and Fernando if you need to." Also, what I left over there is your message, and the time she set for sending clothes is half past sixteen. She'll set the time with you half an hour in advance. With that, she glanced at Jill again, then turned and strode towards the locomotive.

Jill stood there and watched Caroline go.

He was going to go to Gunnari for nothing other than to take a look at Ina from a distance.

One kilometre northwest of the school is a large triangular park. In the park, there is a stream that flows slowly and babblingly on the inside, and there is a red gum track that winds next to the stream and merges into the road outside the park.

Jill had just walked around a corner of the gum runway. Back in the day, every time he took Ina to school, he would pass by the park and walk onto the gum track, but at that time she was just the school's trainee swimming coach.

Suddenly, something hard hit his left ankle, and when he looked down, he realized that it was a colored glass bead. At the same time, a burst of girl's whining sounded: "Hypocrisy! Obviously, he doesn't care about me at all, but he wants to pretend to be an adult and say some big truths. Hmph, I'm not a child anymore, how can I be so easy to deceive. ”

He listened patiently, turned around, and saw the girl's appearance, in her teens, with a ball on her head, wearing a red and white shirt and a pair of black cropped pants, and a pair of white sneakers. Her azure eyes, like the deepest lake, look particularly charming.

Gille paused, and suddenly came to him, wasn't this the little girl he had met at the bakery last night?

"Are you ......" the girl blinked, opened her mouth wide and made a look of horror.

The girl jerked around and ran forward, but stopped after a few steps because of the presence of a woman. Judging by the girl's reaction, it was an acquaintance. The woman wore a high black ponytail, which just highlighted the delicate and well-defined face; Tie a light blue silk scarf on her left wrist, wear a white long-sleeved shirt on the top, and wear a simple black A-line skirt and a pair of white sneakers, making the whole person look slim. She froze as she shifted her gaze back to Jill, muttering, "Why are you here?" ”

Jill's eyes became blurry, and a name kept echoing in her mind, Ina.

"Candace ......" By the time Ina could react, Candace had already stepped over the small bushes, turned around and grimaced at her, and ran away. She reached behind her ear and walked over to Jill, a soft smile on her lips. When there was only one meter left, she stopped and said, "Long time no see." ”

"Well, long time no see." Jill's eyes became clear again.

"If you have time, come with me to the 'Blue Mandala' and sit down." "It's a welfare organization, and I volunteer there. ”

Jill nodded.

They walked through the park for another 20 minutes or so to reach their destination, the "Blue Mandala", which happened to be on the same line as Stulet Abbey and Granari. The building is about 18 meters tall and covers a large area, with a light blue background and a hint of silver gray, printed with patchwork or stacked bright color blocks, symbolizing fearlessness and creativity. In front of the building, there is a sandy area with simple combination slides and other playground equipment, and many children ranging in age from five to eight years old and of different skin colors play on it.

As soon as they appeared, the children rushed to them as if they had pressed the pause button and then the fast-forward button, shouting and rushing up, and surrounded them. An eight-year-old boy wearing a headband, dressed in a tracksuit, holding a water hose in his hand, stood at the front, pointed at Jill with a hose, and asked righteously, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a good friend of Ina." Jill said without thinking.

"Jane, he's also your friend, not a bad guy." Ina said, "Candace made you do this, right?" Wouldn't it be better for them to explain something to their face? ”

Jane looked at Jill carefully and slowly lowered the hose in her hand. After that, the children dispersed and returned to their respective places to play.
