Chapter Seventy-Nine: Invitation
"With our phones, we can keep in touch even if we don't see each other sometimes. Vanessa, you need to take care of this phone! ā
In the bright and spacious cold drink shop, the three of them sat together, Alex took a sip of soda, and then said to Vanessa, who was playing with Catherine on her phone.
"Hmm!" Vanessa nodded heavily, revealing an expression of sworn protection for her phone.
Alex smiled wryly: "Huh? It's not so strict! ā
"You little fool!" Catherine gave Vanessa a white look angrily, and then smiled and assured Alex, "Brother Alex, don't worry, I'll take care of Vanessa!" ā
After this period of friendly relations (mainly Alex's willingness to spend money), Catherine's favorability towards Alex skyrocketed, and she called her "Brother Alex" when she opened and closed her mouth, no matter how Alex corrected it, it didn't help. In the end, Alex, who was helpless, could only let Catherine call herself that.
"Thank you then!" Alex laughed.
"With me Catherine here, Brother Alex, you can rest assured!" Catherine patted her chest, which had just begun to bulge, and assured with confidence.
Alex smiled faintly and stopped talking.
After resting for a while in the cold drink shop, Catherine unceremoniously pulled Vanessa and rushed to other stores in the mall again, and although Vanessa was forced, there was no reluctance on her face, but she also showed an interested expression, and took the initiative to run in small steps. It seems that Vanessa's nature of "female ** shopping mall" has been developed in advance!
"Is this self-inflicted?!" Alex smiled wryly and followed behind the two.
He now carries at least twenty handbags in his hands, in addition to clothes, shoes, small jewelry and other things are also in them, although he does not feel tired with his anti-heaven body, but every move is inevitably a little inconvenient. After a long time, Alex even felt more tired than fighting Bunaki again!
Following the two people in front of him into a bracelet store, Alex sat on the chair next to him, looking at Vanessa and Catherine, who were still in high spirits and full of energy, Alex was weak for a while.
"Hmm, ask the Stone Man how he is doing." After resting for a while, Alex took out his newly purchased phone and dialed the number left for him by the stone man.
"Dudu~"
The mobile phone rang a few times before it was connected, and the unique voice of the stone man came from the opposite side: "I'm Ben, who are you looking for?" ā
"Such an impulsive tone, Ben, who you off again?" Alex laughed.
Ben on the other side paused for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Oh~, this voice...... It's Alex! It's nice to hear you again, I thought ......"
"Why?"
"Nothing, nothing! Anyway, I'm glad to hear your voice again! There was indescribable excitement in Ben's voice, and it was clear that he was genuinely pleased with Alex's contact.
"What just happened?" Alex asked.
"Just now? Oh, my God! It's Johnny's damn little thing! Ben grumbled angrily, "That guy is playing tricks on me while I'm sleeping again, and this is the first time I can't figure it out!" Alex, I promise you, one day, I'm going to slap him into a meat sauce, or the kind! ā
"Don't be so angry, Ben, Johnny is still a kid! He is not sensible yet! ā
"Oh? Is it! Have you ever seen a kid in his twenties?! If you are not sensible now, do you have to wait until you die of old age to be sensible! ā
The voice of Ben talking to another woman came over the phone, and judging by her tone, it was supposed to be Johnny's sister, Susan talking.
Johnny is loose and cynical by nature, and his natural woodenness, coupled with the appearance of this stone man, makes Johnny and his compatibility worse and worse. On weekdays, Ben often accuses Johnny of being careless, and Johnson will prank Ben while he sleeps, and Ben is so angry now that he is definitely not angry with Johnny!
"Alright, Ben, don't be so angry! Johnny is used to being free, and you don't know why you're so angry with him! Hearing the quarrel on the other side, Alex hurriedly persuaded.
"Oh, well, let's not talk about that." Ben muttered a perfunctory explanation of the matter, and then changed his excited tone, "Alex, do you know, Reed already has a clue about how to solve my body, saying that it will be possible to complete the theory and build the equipment in two days, and it won't be long before I can change back to my original self." ā
Hearing this, Alex sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations, Ben!" ā
"Thank you!" Ben accepted Alex's congratulations, "By the way, do you want to come and see the moment I turn back into a human?" ā
"Of course, if it doesn't bother you to carry out the real yĆ n." Alex nodded.
The reason why they are capable is that they are affected by solar storms in space, which alter the genes in the cells. They were able to survive a solar storm and unexpectedly gain superpowers, which was a lower probability than buying a lottery ticket to win, and listening to Ben's meaning, Dr. Reed actually wanted to use the power of technology to simulate the power of nature!
In this regard, even Alex, who doesn't care much about science, can't help but be curious!
"Don't bother! In this way, as long as Reed is honestly ready, I will call you, and you must come when the time comes. Ben over there shouted.
"Okay, I'll wait for your call." Alex laughed.
"Well, goodbye! I'm going to get in trouble with Johnny's kid! ā
"Goodbye!" With that, Alex hung up.
At this time, Vanessa and Catherine came over: "Brother, who are you talking to?" ā
"Oh, a friend of mine in New York." Alex smiled and put his phone in his pocket, "He said he invited me to visit an amazing real yĆ n and asked me to wait for his call these days." ā
"That's right!" Vanessa and Catherine turned their heads in disinterest, holding the bracelet they had chosen, discussing with each other.
Alex chuckled and shook his head, "You guys......"
Seeing that both of them had already chosen their favorite bracelets, Alex got up and went to the side to pay the bill.
Walking out of this store, Alex saw that the time was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and while feeling that time was flying, he also had to admire the body of Vanessa and Catherine, the two girls, who had been in the mall for so long, they were still full of energy, and it seemed that they could still go to the mall for a few more hours.
"It's almost time, we should go back." Alex Road.
Hearing this, Vanessa and Catherine couldn't help but show a slight reluctance on their faces, but after seeing Alex's hands full of bags, they had to say stupidly: "Okay, let's go back." ā
Alex said, "Don't show that pathetic look! There is still a day tomorrow during the holidays, so instead of reluctant to go to the mall, it is better to think about how to play tomorrow! ā
When Alex said this, the eyes of the two girls suddenly lit up like light bulbs, and for a while, the reluctance and depression on their faces were replaced by excitement. Seeing the starry eyes and silly smiles in their eyes, Alex was very sure that they must be fantasizing about tomorrow's activities in their heads, and their brains were obviously not small.
Looking at the stupidity of the two, Alex was not angry and rewarded a little violent chestnut, "Two little fools, don't be stunned here, let's go." ā
"Ahh The two girls were in pain, and at the same time looked at Alex with a pitiful expression, which made Alex feel that he was instantly cute.
Oh my God, this feeling is like being adored by a two-dimensional goddess......
"Alright, let's go." Alex suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head and led the two out of here, and if he looked at it again, he was afraid that he would become Lolicon!
"Let's go, Vanessa, let's go back and discuss what to do tomorrow!" Catherine took Vanessa's little hand and said excitedly.
"Hmm!" Vanessa was also excited and eager to try......
The two followed behind Alex and walked towards the entrance of the mall, whispering something as they walked, and their laughter never stopped in the process.
Listening to the laughter behind him, Alex couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Sure enough, friends of the same age are easier to make people cheerful!" ā
