Chapter 243: New Year's Bell (Thanks to Library Master Mengmeng)
The Winter Festival Gala is over, and there is not much left of Tilan's holiday.
"Do you want to go back?" Deloris asked her if Tiran was packing her belongings in the house, but it wasn't much, and it would probably be ready in a while.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been back to see, and junior high school life seems to be a very distant life, but in fact, it's only been a year and a half." Looking back on the drastic changes in the past year and a half, Ti Lan feels like a world away.
"Do you want to go back alone, do you want me to come with you."
"It's not alone, it's actually a classmate, a former classmate." The girl explained simply.
Later, Tilan told Deloris about junior high school, and since her family left one by one, she also became lonely, and she also suffered a lot during that time, but fortunately she still stumbled over.
Quietly listening to Tilan's recounts of her past, Deloris is sometimes nervous about her, and sometimes disgusted by those who bully her.
"Tilan is very strong, if only I had known you earlier."
"There is no if, if I didn't have the experience of that time, I wouldn't stand in front of you, probably just go with the flow to find an ordinary school to study, and then graduate and work."
"It's because of that time that I was miserable,I worked hard to find a way out of that environment.,If it weren't for that,,I probably wouldn't have had the courage to step into the admissions room of Eds Academy.,After all, for most ordinary people,Eds Academy is too high to reach.,I was also nervous at the time.。 The girl shook her head, fate was not accidental, if she had lived well during that time, she probably wouldn't have had the courage to step through that door.
She is not the kind of person who particularly pursues fame and fortune, and she is also a person who is relatively easy to satisfy, and if she was not forced to panic at that time, she would not have taken risks.
The atmosphere in the junior high school class is not good.,If you rashly tell about your application for Edes Academy.,And then fail.,It's easy to become a conversation and joke in the class.,This will be a big blow to her.。
After packing up her things, Tilan sat on the edge of the bed, leaned back on the quilt, looked at the log beams of the wooden house overhead, and then closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.
Deloris came over and helped Tilan put on a thin blanket, then went back to the hall and looked at the painting that Tilan had painted a few days earlier, thinking about what else she had to prepare for the snoozing Tilan.
Half an hour later, Tilan woke up after a nap and felt much better, and Deloris returned to her room with a hat and brown sunglasses in her hand.
"What is this?"
Tiran watched Delores come and put her hat on her head, a little curious.
"It's for you, and so are these sunglasses." Delores said, and carefully put on her sunglasses for Tilan.
"You can't just go back like this, you're a big star singer now." Delores gave science to this young girl who had not yet realized herself.
"It's not enough to have that, I always feel like I have to change my hair color." Deloris looked at Tilan's face.
"So what?" Tilan's eyes closed slightly, and then opened, and the black hair turned a delicate light gray, and the blue pupils also turned black.
"Will Tilan still be like this, but gray and black are still too close." Delores felt the need to change her hair color entirely.
"There are only two kinds of spontaneous color change, and if you want other colors, I'm afraid you have to use some props."
As Tilan said this, Delores' eyes flashed with some light, and then she quickly picked up her personal terminal and rummaged through it.
"You sit in front of the mirror first." Deloris urged the girl to sit down in front of the vanity mirror and then helped her with her hair.
First pulling it up, then tying up a certain section of hair, or brushing away her bangs, or gesturing with a slightly curly appearance, Tilan sitting in front of the vanity mirror felt like a doll waiting to be dressed up, but Deloris also respected her idea, and would ask Tilan for her opinion from time to time.
Just after the two of them had been discussing for more than half an hour, a sound of propellers circling landed in front of the wooden house, and at this time, the flight self-discipline unit that delivered the courier arrived.
After taking the hair dye and styling spray for Tilan, Deloris patiently and meticulously helped the girl to dress up, and soon the black and gentle hair was dyed maroon, and the ends of the hair were slightly curled inward, falling between the collarbones, and then Deloris put a hat and sunglasses on Tilan, so the whole person's temperament also changed.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Ti Lan turned around twice and looked around.
"The style is mature and fashionable, and it looks like I'm a few years older all of a sudden." This feeling is quite fresh, but it is not unfamiliar, in the girl's memory, Irene is often dressed like this, obviously the two are the same age, but Irene always feels a lot more mature.
Deloris then continued to fix Tilan's hair until Tilan's flying machine descended.
In the evening, Comet City in the South 3rd District.
Clara was standing on the side of the road with a large suitcase, looking at the evening dial from time to time, looking a little anxious, but the hovercar she had booked seemed to be late today.
A slight footstep came from behind Clara, standing beside her, if it had been before, she would have been angry and moved away, and suspected that this man had bad intentions, but today she heard something different.
"It's me, Clara." This familiar voice made the girl immediately realize who the girl wearing sunglasses and a mask was in front of her.
"It's fine." She suddenly relaxed, then looked around, pulling her luggage to the chestnut-haired girl.
"I almost didn't recognize you, so I kept you waiting." Clara whispered as she looked at the suitcase in front of her, while a few passers-by were waiting on the platform for the hoverbus to come down on the street not far from them.
Unlike Tilan's gradual reaction, Clara fully realized that her friend and classmate was no longer a character that ordinary people could reach as early as half a year ago.
It is precisely because she is also half a public figure and a well-known idol on the Internet that she understands the meaning of the word singer better, and she is a completely different level from today's popular stars.
Ordinary topic traffic stars, maybe many people pay attention to this year, but after 3-5 years, not many people remember their names and things, and as a singer, even if it has been thirty or fifty years, there are still countless people who love and look forward to her works, and this kind of long-term attention and liking is difficult for those topic stars to hope for.
In addition, although many idols have achieved a certain popularity, they are just ordinary people after all, and they will encounter all kinds of troubles in reality, such as bad people who covet her wealth, bad intentions, etc., which also makes many idols dare not reveal their real addresses or names.
As a singer, not only has official protection, but also can directly affect the local political environment, because there must be a large number of personnel directly under the Central Council stationed around the singer to protect, these personnel are difficult for the local small government to bribe and influence, so wherever the singer has frequent activities, the local political environment will be much clearer.
After a few minutes of careful exchange with Tilan, a hovercar pulled up next to the two and carried them to the airport, where a plane to the North 7th District set off shortly after, carrying them back to their hometown.
Coming from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere is not only a half-planet distance, but also a huge span from summer to winter.
As Tilan and Clara walked out of the airport, their exhaled air turned into a white mist in the air, and Clara felt a chill spread from the soles of her feet, causing her to move her legs.
Looking at Ti Lan, who was still quiet on the side, Clara originally wanted to say something, but closed her mouth again, this kid is already Sequence 5, she must not be afraid of this level of cold, and she is also a person who has watched the live broadcast of Winter Dabi, Ti Lan's terrifying combat power, not to mention how many degrees below zero now, even if it is below zero, I am afraid that it will still be alive.
"Is Clara a little cold?" Tiran took Clara's hand, and a strange sensation followed, causing Clara to quickly feel no longer uncomfortable.
Strange feeling.,It's not a fever.,But I'm not afraid of the cold.,Maybe that's the blessing of the singer's power.。
The two continued to walk towards the building near the airport until a few minutes later, when they stopped in front of the tall dome.
"Remember that day?" Ti Lan looked at the tall building in front of her, which looked like dark gold glass, and remembered that she was nervous about accepting the interview of the school park inside.
"Remember, I will probably never forget it for the rest of my life." Clara said, with a slightly complicated expression, which was both nostalgia and envy, but more than that, happiness.
"Lina was very proud at the time, Millie was a little greedy and vain, and I was naïve, but Heshia was like a hidden gem that had not yet been noticed by everyone." Clara sighed about the situation.
Looking back now, although she also helped Heshia later, at that time, she actually didn't take Heshia too seriously, and just did things according to her temperament.
If it weren't for the fact that at the class reunion later, she didn't choose to stand by and watch, but helped Hesia, I'm afraid that she would no longer interact with other Hesia's junior high school classmates now.
Since Heshea became famous, many classmates in the previous junior high school class tried to repair the relationship with the girl, or send various private messages and emails to apologize and say hello, etc., but Clara knew that Tiran never replied.
Clara actually understands Tilan's choice of unforgiveness and alienation, or few people will understand Tilan's feelings as much as she does, because she is the one who fully witnessed Tilan's beautiful family environment when she was a child, fell into the darkness of junior high school, and then took off again in high school.
The gap is so big, the environment has undergone drastic changes, and Tilan's own personality has even been partially distorted in junior high school, and it is only now that it has gradually recovered.
At that time, everyone was still naïve, just naïve to do things with their own feelings, and unconsciously actually hurt some people, but some of the injuries were relatively shallow, and they would slowly melt into the nostalgia of memories with the separation, but some things that hurt self-esteem and left inner shadows, the parties may be difficult to let go of for half their lives.
Clara remembered her naivety and impulsiveness at that time, but fortunately she was obsessed with other things at that time, and she didn't have much intersection with Tilan, if she had a lot of contact with Tilan at that time, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to be friends now.
Standing in front of the snowy steps, Ti Lan looked at the quiet building at night, recalling the scene of that day, she had just come out of a nervous interview to reunite with everyone, and wanted to tell everyone that she had taken a brave step, but she was afraid of being ridiculed, so she endured it in her heart.
Looking back now, I have mixed feelings, and it is difficult to tell whether it is nostalgia, sadness, or happiness.
"Has Clara's wish come true now?" She turned her head and asked her companion in the snow.
Clara closed her eyes, reflected on the events of the past six months, and then opened them.
"It worked, but that's not the end of it." She jumped down the steps and put her feet in the snowdrift, leaving two deep pits.
"Internet idols have indeed fulfilled my wish, but the more I engage in this profession, the more I understand that my career has just started, and many things that I used to play with have fallen behind, and now I have to make up for it, so that everyone will always like me, which is not an easy task." Clara jumped in the snow a few times in quick succession before she turned around.
"It's stressful, but it's exciting, it's a great feeling!" She spoke loudly in the snow, and finally jumped high, spun around with one foot in the air, and then stepped heavily into the snowdrift, splashing a large number of fluffy snowflakes, and her face was happy, like an innocent child.
Seeing Clara unleash herself, Tilan couldn't help but laugh, and she slapped her palms.
"That's good, let's work together, we can't forget it for the rest of your life~"
"Ah, for a lifetime, it feels so long, I still want to be lazy once in a while." Clara replied in surprise.
"Why did you get deflated so quickly?" The girl couldn't hide her smile and joked.
"Because I know that I'm the kind of fun-loving character, and if I am forced to do something, I don't want to do it." Clara confidently spoke of her shortcomings.
"I have always believed in the law of happiness, that is, to do what I should work hard in happiness, otherwise I can't do it if I work hard with a stomach full of grievances and depression." Clara patted her chest and introduced herself to Heshea.
"Sounds great, but what if something just makes it hard to be happy?" The girl asked curiously.
"Then leave it to someone else to do it, run away if you can, bypass it if you can't do it, anyway, the law of happiness is the first." Clara put her fingers together and spoke her opinion.
"I don't believe there's anything you can't hide, and of course if you say death, then I can't refute it."
"I'm not as strong and kind as Tilan, and if someone really makes me feel bad, I'll take revenge, and I won't pay too much attention to other people's emotions, because I'm not strong enough to be gentle enough to be gentle with everything."
"Even so, this Clara is dazzling."
The two of them walked in the snow at night, talking about the past and the future, walking in the direction of their distant home, until the laughter and backs slowly disappeared into the winter snow.
The New Year's bell is slowly ringing, the past is gradually left behind, and a new future is slowly coming.
I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance~
