Chapter 220: The second
Elizabeth was born on a long road connecting Milansle to Hotania. She can call herself a Hotanian or a Milansil, and before she became a banshee, neither of them recognized the children born on this path as their own, and therefore, they could also be called Gentiles or Outlanders.
Many years ago, Elizabeth lived a life of simplicity to the point of cruelty.
Draw magic from dew to satisfy your thirst, and draw from bones to satisfy your hunger. She was unclothed, her hair was long to the ground, and her nails and the fluff on her face were long, like a wild man.
And then what?
She met a woman who had seen her in the gravestone-strewn wilderness, in the forests and hills where the bodies were hung.
She took her away.
She bought her clothes, cleaned her body, educated the writing, and said, "The absence of Hotania and Milansil is the only great loss of the two kingdoms. ”
She remembered her dry voice: "What about the other one?" ”
The woman smiled, "It hasn't happened yet, but if I want to say, it's snubbing a silver-haired woman with golden eyes who doesn't seem to be an explorer." ”
"Silver-haired, golden-eyed."
She stroked her black hair and thought to herself, 'It's like the opposite of me.'"
She asked, "What's your name?" ”
The banshee smiled gracefully, leaving behind a name that I didn't know if it was true or not: "Delis." ”
…
…
Elizabeth Massif.
It is a scenic massif structure with two stunning waterfalls in an arc of mountains, and the upper pool of the waterfall on the east side has hot red mountain stones and beautiful red maple leaves. The hot water rushed down with red. On the south side, there is a cold spring that can freeze the yaks and carry the leaves of the blue winter trees down.
Two springs of different temperatures collide in the watershed below, creating a white mist that will never go away.
Elizabeth lives in the middle of the mountains, a place where the temperature is just right.
In the mansion with its ornate wooden courtyard was a golden tree, and a dull silver sap flowed from its towering torso.
It's a little lacking in popularity.
Elizabeth thought that she looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, and made a bitter joke in her heart, 'No one wants to have anything to do with you, because of your dead face'.
But it varies from person to person and not to laugh.
She was also very aggrieved that she was born with an unpleasant expression. She thought that maybe it was because of her appearance that Delis disappeared when she was 10 years old, and she thought that maybe it was because of her appearance that she had a great wave in her heart when she met the silver-haired and golden-eyed woman this year.
This wave is called jealousy.
She is jealous of her good popularity, she is chased and held by people everywhere, she is like a little princess, compared to herself as a native of the bad species.
"Where would you be, Delis? A woman with silver hair and golden eyes, could it be her? ”
Elizabeth changed into a black gauze dress, put on a veil, put on black lace gloves, changed into a pair of high heels to exercise the strength of her feet, and walked out of the house to go to the office to get ready for work.
On the way, she easily made five design drafts for the plot.
It is not easy to make money in the academy, but it is just right to be a designer, which can not only meet your own needs to make money, but also meet your pursuit of freedom. If happiness and freedom were put together, Elizabeth thought, it would be better for ordinary people to choose happiness.
…
…
383 Office.
Willing... Old man Frank is a man of action, and he has a great value for money, and taking money to do things is his life principle. Although he has run several studios and once held the position of a high-authority producer, Melina is still a little surprised to see what he looks like now.
Frank actually adapted to them. When I got used to being in an office, I had to talk to the idols in the office about things, and I had to go to them one by one, and ask 'Did you have time this morning' or 'Is it noon?' Is noon OK? The old man with a beautiful beard was extremely patient, and spent the whole morning walking around the streets of Banshee Street.
In addition to this, he also hired Don Quixote.
When these two old men stand together, there is always a sense of time being out of order.
It looks like it's time to retire and enjoy family fun, but he's still working.
Needless to say.
The arrogant idols of the 383 office only eat soft and not hard.
Under this policy of softness, the first to compromise was Belén, then Carla, then Elizabeth, and finally Melina. Melina is more willful, but fortunately Frank asked Don Quixote to come, and this old Don Quixote gentleman's age-appropriate humor and attitude towards Melina as a friend played a role.
Let Xiaomei finally come to the 383 office to participate in the rare meeting of 'all the members are there'.
As she entered the office, she heard Frank talking to Don Quixote.
Frank said first:
"Thank you this time, it's quite a challenging job."
Don Quixote behaved much more vigorously than a normal old man:
"Yes!"
Even Frank has a hard time saying about the character of this peer, and how to deal with this man's overly candid behavior:
"That..."
"Hahaha, needless to say, I know, Miss Xiaomei and Miss Xiaoyi should be the two most annoying guys, right?" Don Quixote spoke ill of them in front of them. Melina flicked him a roll of the eye, and Elizabeth? Elizabeth walked in as if she were asleep in a dream.
"Melina." She said.
"Huh?" Melina raised an eyebrow.
"Do you still have sugar on hand?" She asked, tapping her fingers to her wrist.
Melina understood her metaphor at once.
Knowing that the candy asked for by the other party was a special magic factor that could make people sober, which made her quite happy:
"Are you crazy?"
"Hmm."
"Then you tell me what the madman thinks about idols, and I'll give you candy." Melina always has an indifferent expression, once the ice is broken, she shows a bad look, the corners of her mouth seem to be smiling, but if you look closely, you will find that she doesn't make any movements, just looking at you.
Elizabeth thought, 'It's right to be dangerous,' she's not crazy, she's just a little emotionally sensitive.
If she didn't, she wouldn't be able to get involved with Melina.
Melina is not only proud but also hypocritical.
She tried to get close to many circles, tried to be the sought-after figure and she had the talent, but this woman would throw it down without hesitation after getting everything, and this ruthlessness, if Elizabeth had not been able to smell greed, she would have thought it was an arrogant banshee.
She doesn't hold on to anyone unless she's interested. Elizabeth suddenly felt a little more motivated, and she wondered if Melina would really 'hate for life' if she killed Miss Sonia and Miss Maria.
When the time comes, it will be interesting for her to hunt herself down.
But...
Elizabeth restrained the vicious thoughts in her heart, she liked Sonia and Maria, these two were very worthy friends, and they could not be killed.
Elizabeth thought, 'I have some experience in pretending to be a madman,' so she replied:
"Idols are fanatics in fancy clothes who entertain the world with cheap smiles."
"Is that what you think?" Melina asked curiously, "What about yourself?" ”
"Exactly."
Elizabeth smiled nothingly, and she reached out and stroked her face lightly:
"Aren't we here to entertain the world?"
"I see."
Melina heard what she meant and nodded vigorously:
"Too bland, too arrogant, either one is not good, is it?"
"Well, just smile." Elizabeth hooked the corner of her own mouth with her left index finger and pulled it out, revealing a smile, "After laughing, your mood will be better." The world is spinning, the eyes are dizzying, everything will be fine from the bones to the skin. ”
"Hmm." Melina thanked the other for the comfort.
She felt she should let go.
The deliberate alienation of those friends after she could not become an explorer was not a philistine choice, but a gentle care. Prevent her from going crazy, from doing things that she can't do and can't hold on.
But...
She covets their gaze and their care.
It's like Elizabeth said, just laugh, and after laughing, your mood will naturally improve.
But how does Elizabeth know she's in a bad mood? Did Belen say that?
"How do you know?"
"You're not wearing gloves."
Melina noticed that her hands were indeed not wearing gloves: "Just because of this?" ”
"Isn't that enough?"
Melina has a compulsive preference for dressing up when she goes out, and if you know her habits, you can indeed tell that she is not in a good mood by her untidy clothes.
It's hard for Elizabeth to be so careful.
"It's really impressive."
Melina's thanks were a bit yin and yang.
"No thanks."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and walked up to the second floor.
…
…
Want to know what kind of mindset Melina has? Elizabeth thought.
What else is there besides the silver-haired and golden-eyed girl?
Is it jealous that she has been approved by Delis?
… Eat one's heart out.
For the first time, Elizabeth knew what was happening in her chest.
She's jealous.
I am jealous that no matter how good I am, I can only be a 'second all-rounder'.
The first all-round lady stood in front of her.
She also wanted to say something like 'lackluster to the other party'.
But she couldn't tell.
It's not her kind nature that stops her, it's just her arrogance to heaven and earth.
…
…
Would you like to give it a try?
Compete with Melina and try to take the name of 'all-rounder' from her?
As soon as this idea appeared, Elizabeth, who advocated the idea of 'not fighting with others', knew that she could never go back to the past where she could reluctantly accept the 'second'.
