Chapter 270: White Flowers
Tyri in the shower?
Inexistent!
As a book with discipline, you can't always write about girls taking a bath, right?
Claire calls her at the café bar, only to be told by her mother that she had gone out shopping with a neighbor named Amy early this morning.
It is not clear where it went.
This was the 90s, the use of mobile phones had just become popular, and there was no national ownership, and generally only business people like Qi Zihuan would take a Nokia or Motorola around and pretend to be forced.
Alex tries to contact Carter to see if he knows where Tyri is.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a few words, there was a roar on the other side of the phone.
"Alex, that's enough! What are you doing all this pretending to be a ghost, do you want us all to thank you? Do you want us all to listen to you? Carter's speech was slurred, as if he was a little drunk, "I'm telling you, it's impossible!" We're all going to live well, don't worry about you!"
Alex took the microphone a little farther away, dodging the deafening shouting and looking up at the sky.
It's only morning, and Carter has drunk himself like this......
In fact, although several of their survivors avoided the disaster and survived, after all, their most familiar friends, classmates, and colleagues have all passed away in the past few years, and this heaviness has always been suppressed in their hearts, and everyone is not happy.
Carter begins to develop a habit of drinking, Mr. Lyudon is disheartened and prepares to quit his job and move, while another classmate named Beechcraft sees Alex as a psychic medium for the unpredictable, often making phone calls to ask about the future.
Alex sighed lightly and tried his best to patiently explain the newly discovered law of death killing to Carter, but finally hung up the phone amid the irrational shouts of the other party.
The three young men returned to their seats dejectedly, and they didn't have any ideas, but they didn't dare to leave Qi Zihuan too far, so they had to sit there sullenly and drink coffee.
Qi Zihuan was calm on the surface, but he kept an eye on the situation on Tyri's side in his heart.
Tyri wasn't far from them.
……
Amy is not from Mount Abraham Middle School, but she is also shocked by the horror of the accident, and at the same time, seeing her neighbor and friend look sad all day long, she has always wanted to help Terri out of this haze.
I heard that her handsome boyfriend is also drinking all day long, and Tyri went to him several times, but she broke up because of her kind persuasion.
Today, after finally dragging Terri out to go shopping, Amy saw the real ice rink in the mall, and on a whim, she encouraged her to change into skates together.
Tyri knew what Amy was thinking, and she was grateful.
She was now leaning on the metal fence on one side, watching Amy speed briskly on the ice, occasionally turning around like a waltz, surrounded by the cheerful sounds of the crowd, even if someone fell, this relaxed atmosphere made her feel a little brighter.
The past has to pass, doesn't it?
She pursed her lips, brushed the scattered strands of hair behind her ears, and stepped into the ice rink.
Tyri's skating skills are very good, and she quickly adapts to the ice with a simple swing from side to side, and like a nimble swallow, she catches up with Amy and then overtakes her.
A beautiful spin, Terri leans over slightly and glides backwards quickly and steadily.
She waved at Amy, smiling happily.
There aren't a lot of people at the rink today, there are about a dozen people scattered around, but there is no doubt that Tyri is the absolute star of the audience.
She was like an elf, her white dress fluttering gently with her dreamy dance steps, and her skates slashed lightly, leaving only shallow white marks on the hard ice.
No one noticed that at the turn more than ten meters in front of her, there was a girl who slid by, and the bracelet accidentally fell off and fell to the ground.
There was another couple next to him, who were supporting each other to study, swaying and about to fall.
The workings of the world have always been mysterious, like a slot machine, with possibilities beating at every moment.
Just wait for an invisible hand to come and shoot it.
Perhaps, Terri slid past the little couple, who would have stumbled and fallen, leaving her with only a slight recourse to avoid it.
Perhaps, this avoidance will make her just in time for the bracelet that fell to the ground.
Is it possible that the bracelet would get stuck on her skateblade, and an unexpected sudden braking caused her to fall forward.
If the angle was just right, maybe her slender, fair neck would have broken off from this impact.
Will you die?
Qi Zihuan didn't know, and he didn't dare to gamble.
"Ahh
A scream echoed through the open field.
Everyone was taken aback, and no matter what they were doing, they now subconsciously stopped and looked in the direction where the cry was coming from.
Tyri was also slowing down, expertly stopping in front of the guardrail.
The couple not far away fell down as expected.
There is a small café next to the ice rink, where people who are tired of shopping in the mall sometimes buy a hot latte and enjoy the show while sipping.
At this time, a middle-aged female customer kept blowing at her right hand, as if she had been burned. On the floor was spilled coffee.
The waiter standing next to him blushed and kept bowing and apologizing.
For some reason, when he came over with a cup of hot coffee, his elbow seemed to be hit by something, and all the coffee he had just brewed was poured on the customer's hand.
While the temperature didn't really cause any serious injuries, the screams of the guests and the reddening of his skin meant that he would have at least a week's salary deducted.
And next to the sign at the entrance of the coffee shop, a small paper figure is hiding in the shadows.
It was just a small episode, and Tyri and Amy, who was also watching, smiled at each other and turned back to the ice again.
The skirt danced again, like a white flower.
……
Qi Zihuan opened his eyes, took a long sigh of relief, and took a sip of the coffee that was already cold in front of him.
Seeing that he seemed to be closing his eyes and pondering just now, the three young men did not bother, but continued to discuss how to find Tyri as soon as possible.
Eventually, Claire, who is also a girl, made several phone calls before she got the news about their shopping plans for today from a mutual best friend of Amy and Tyri.
Now the three of them saw Qi Zihuan come back to their senses, so they simply pulled Qi Zihuan together and stopped a taxi to run to the mall.
……
On another street, Carter drives a black sedan and is also on his way to Terri's mall.
Although he expressed his disbelief on the phone just now, after hanging up the phone, his heart was always a little unsteady.
After hesitating for a while, he stomped his foot hard and drove out.
Let's get Tyri back first.
Together, we should be safe.
He thought so.
It's just that his face is slightly red, and there is still the smell of alcohol between his breaths.
