Chapter 163: Rick and Alice's Problem
I remember that it was during the summer vacation of the third grade, the summer in New York was extremely hot, and after playing the legend of Surda, Rick took a shower all night, and Chiguo's body was resting on the bed.
Rick, who hasn't dreamed for a long time, dreams of his goddess in his past life for the first time. The two were frolicking on the beach, so happy. Makes Rick in his dreams feel like he's entered heaven.
As there were fewer and fewer people on the beach, only he and his goddess remained. The sunset stained the calm sea in front of them, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered around the two, you look at me and I look at you, looking at each other.
Rick's goddess bows her head and begins to eat Rick's lollipop. The refreshing feeling made Rick hum a happy melody.
But at the moment of the eruption, Rui, who was lying on the beach, saw Alice's face appear in the twilight sky, and looked at him playfully.
In an instant, a cold sweat broke out, and Rick woke up from his dream.
He looked up and saw that Alice had appeared on his bed at some point, scrutinizing it with a lollipop in one hand.
Rick is frightened by Alice, who suddenly appears in front of him holding a lollipop, and he uncontrollably knocks over the milk bottle.
The milk bottle flipped over, the cap fell, and the majestic milk splashed across Alice's face from the mouth of the bottle.
Alice was embarrassed, but she didn't scream and jumped out of bed to deal with the white stains on her face and chest.
Instead, he looked regretful and lamented. He looked at Rick with disdain, and then said something that made Rick feel the urge to destroy the world.
"It's so fast, it only spills out in a second. Rick, are you the legendary One Second Man? ”
......
"Forget it, let's go back and confess and be lenient. Tell them that we lied to them before, and that we are not in a relationship between men and women. ”
Tempted to beat Alice, Rick resisted his urge and withdrew his hand covering Alice's lips and leaned back in his chair. Said helplessly.
If it is a man and a woman in an ordinary family, it is a very common thing to deal with and break up. But unlike Alice, both families are well-known families in the American wizarding world.
From before they were born, the parents of the two families consciously or unconsciously wanted to promote the marriage of the two families.
So from a very young age, around the time when both of them could walk, their parents let the two of them meet.
Play together, eat together, bathe together, sleep together, go to school together.
It's a childhood sweetheart in the true sense of the word.
But because they are childhood sweethearts, the two are very familiar with each other, and the component of friendship is too heavy (what the two of them think), so there is no spark of love at all.
When they were about 19 years old, the parents of both parties discovered that Rick and Alice did not go together according to the script they imagined, and it was only natural for them to marry and have children as a couple.
They began to form a united front, and came up with a lot of plans to keep the two together.
But after a series of operations, they were disappointed, and the relationship between Rick and Alice did not go further.
Later, I don't know which parent came up with a bad idea to arrange for Rick and Alice to go on a blind date with someone they don't like.
The weekly blind date made the two very tired and disgusted, and then the two pondered that they would pretend to be a couple so that they would not be forced by their parents to go on a blind date with someone they didn't like.
In this way, Rick and Alice put their parents together and announced that they were a couple. It was a very harmonious scene, with smiles on the faces of six people in two families.
Bed in the same bed, different dreams, but only Rick and Alice know.
Rick and Alice thought that they could continue to live carefree and unbridled by pretending to be a couple and deceiving their parents.
Unexpectedly, their parents told the patriarchs of the two families about the matter. The patriarchs of the two families met overnight and sighed all night, and no one knew what they talked about, but after that, the two families began various business and political cooperation.
A small lie turned two families who were not very close, even political rivals, into allies who trusted each other.
"No! If you tell them that we are pretending to be a couple. Thinking that grandpa loved me so much, he would unleash the power of the entire Magic Congress to catch you, the villain who bullied his granddaughter, and undo all the magic in your body, and throw you into the Wailing Cave. Let you suffer from the dementors every day. I don't want you to die, what should I do if you die? ”
Hearing that Rick wanted to reveal the relationship between the two as a fake couple, Alice said in a panic.
She didn't want to have a showdown with her parents right now, she was still young and hadn't had enough of it outside. If your parents know that you and Rick have been in a fake relationship for the past few years.
She Alice may not be like she used to, go wherever she wants, and squander her youth wantonly.
She has always liked to travel and explore everywhere, but she doesn't want to go back to being a canary in a cage.
What's more, her parents will definitely arrange a blind date for her in the future, think about those white-faced students who can't even beat her. Alice was sick to her stomach.
"You're afraid that your aunt will spank you, no, it's a mixed doubles. I remember my uncle saying that if Alice did something sorry for me, he would be on my side. So what you just said seems to be that only I am unlucky.
Ay! Our relationship involves the future of the two families. It's too hard to do, destroy it. ”
If he didn't know Alice too well, Rick might have been touched by Alice's last sentence.
He picked up the milk tea on the table and put it to his mouth and was about to drink it, but he had no desire to drink it, and then put the milk tea on the table again.
Hearing Rick say that he would be mixed doubles, Alice couldn't help but shudder, and recalled that when she was a child, she was too wild and hung all the small balloons in her father's drawer on the courtyard door.
As a result, she was chased and educated by her father and mother for an afternoon, and finally her grandfather came home from work, which saved her.
"Cut, I'm grown up now, they can't treat me like I was when I was a kid anymore."
Alice also lost her appetite, put the milk tea in her hand aside, and said with a nonchalant face, in fact, she was still afraid that after this matter was exposed, her father and mother would treat her like before.
Rick didn't answer, and the two fell silent for a moment.
Both of them are the kind of people who feel that they haven't grown up yet, that they still have too much to do, and that they are not old enough to get married. I want to continue to have fun alone for a few years.
If you ask how many years of play is a few years, they will invariably say it for a lifetime.
"Otherwise, let's get engaged. Anyway, with you by my side, life is still quite fun. ”
