052: Life is like a play
The party was held by the pool behind the hotel, and the owner, Clayson, did not disappoint, the party should be the same, he even set up a temporary circular stage in the middle of the pool, and there was a circle of colored lights wrapped around it, and the flickering lights were reflected in the water.
There was also a bar by the pool, but the bar was empty, and the drinks were free, and Claisson seemed to be very keen on this kind of activity, and he invited not only the guests of the inn, but also quite a few people from the town, roughly counting nearly forty people.
Most of them didn't know each other at all, but it didn't affect the in-depth communication between them, and the atmosphere at the party was more lively and harmonious than expected.
But...
Not everyone can fit in the party.
Logan. Howlett pushed the professor to sit down by a campfire where no one was shining, and looked at the laughing crowd around him, he was a little uncomfortable.
Lorna, who was originally full of expectations, is also a little out of place at this time.
Some things are one thing when you think about them, but when you really experience them, it's another thing, and now this is the case with Lorna, her face is not the slightest bit of joy as before, but more of trepidation.
And Caliban, who seems to prefer to hide in party corners and eat all sorts of little desserts and snacks like crazy, is now gone, and he is the one who doesn't need to worry about the most.
As for Laura, she has always had a highly alert expression from the time she stayed in the hotel until now.
To her, it seems that everything is fraught with danger.
"Guys, we're here for a party, not a date, so you're going to sit like this all night?"
Seeing that everyone was a little restrained, Rojo took the initiative to open a beer.
He handed it to Logan. Howlett took a bottle and whispered, "Uncle Wolf, if you do this all night, we might as well stay in the room, you are acting like a fugitive who has just escaped from prison." ”
"Little ghost, you look down on me too much."
Logan. Howlett picked up the bottle and touched it, and took a few sips to ease the restrained mood.
"That's right, we're partying, relax."
Rojo followed suit and took a few sips.
"I'm going to drink it too."
With Rojo at the beginning, Lorna also opened a bottle of wine, in this kind of remote town, no one cares about the policy of zero alcohol for minors, there are many people under legal age in this party, but in this case, even the police officers will choose to ignore it, they only have two police officers in the whole town, which is a pitiful proportion.
Rojo was forcefully touched by Lorna's bottle, "You drink less, girls don't drink so much." ”
"It's so bad!"
Lorna took a sip and threw up.
Rojo looked at the wine bottle that was forced into his hand, and frowned speechlessly, "When I didn't say it." ”
"Several, I'm glad to see that you don't have a bitter face anymore."
It was Claisson, and his two friends, who had drunk a little red-faced, and sat down on a bench across from Rojo.
"Thanks to the party, otherwise we would have had a boring night upstairs, and besides, there doesn't seem to be any other entertainment in town."
Rojo said as he touched his bottle and took a sip of wine.
"Of course not, Dust, like its name, is a desert town, it's so quiet, it's like a dead city of doom."
Claeson was nearly forty years old, chubby, bearded, frowning, and had an inexplicable sense of joy.
"The old guys in town are stubborn, they're holding back the town, but Dusty is lucky, I'm back now, and since the last few months, I've decided to have a party by the pool every month on the weekend, and anyone can come and add a little bit of energy to the damn town of Dust." ”
"Sometimes older people prefer a quieter environment."
Logan. Howlett couldn't help but interject.
"Mr. Howlett, you look no more than sixty years old, why do you speak in a tone that is older than my grandfather, he used to say that old people like quieter environments, they like to be comfortable."
Claeson patted Logan. Howlett's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you, but your tone is really similar." ”
"Don't worry, he'll think you're complimenting him."
Rojo smiled, sixty years old? The old guy in front of you is almost ahead of American history.
"Mr. Howlett, are you moving, or are you traveling with your family?"
A friend of Claeson asked.
"Uh......"
Logan. Howlett was in a difficult position, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Luo Huo glanced at him and said, "Travel, we plan to take grandpa to see the scenery outside, he is a little old." ”
Uncle Wolf was stunned for a moment and took over: "Yes, my father is not in good health. ”
"I want to go out with them more before I forget about them."
In the wheelchair, Professor Charles tacitly followed and added.
"It's a blessing to be able to travel with my family at this age, and I hope to spend it with my family in my old age."
Claison was envious, and as he spoke, he raised his bottle and touched the bottles of Rojo and Uncle Wolf to show his respect.
Then he was full of sorrow and said: "My son, who is in middle school in a nearby town, is so rebellious, I am afraid that he will secretly run away from home in his old age, and the last thing I am good at is educating my children." ”
"Then you have met the right person, Grandpa Charles used to be a principal, and he has a set of teaching and educating people."
Professor Luo Huo Chong smiled.
"No, that's all old."
Professor Charles shook his head and said.
Logan. Howlett raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the boy to answer like this, but Uncle Wolf himself was a little substituted for this atmosphere.
To be honest, he even enjoys this life a little, occasionally inviting a few friends to get together with his family and throw a party by the backyard pool with barbecues, beer, music, and campfires......
Just like now......
Logan also smiled and said, "Hey, Charles, tell them about Claesson, you taught me before and was my teacher." ”
"It's so cool that you used to be his teacher, teach me some knowledge, so that tomorrow when An Lina comes back, I can show her new talents, so that she doesn't have to say every day that I can't teach children."
Claison agreed, and under the impatient gaze of several people, the professor could only helplessly talk about the things of the academy back then, some of which added fuel and vinegar.
But for Claesson, he quickly believed that the professor was a qualified teacher, and at one point began to recall his middle school days, "I remember when I was in middle school, I had a dream, standing on the beach, confessing to Jenny in the cheerleading group, she asked me to shout at the sea, and agreed to be my girlfriend, I really shouted, I opened my eyes and the whole class was staring at me, and I walked in school with my head down for days." ”
"Who hasn't done stupid things when they were young, I used to do stupid things, I can't count them on two hands, and I even kicked the instructor hard when I was a soldier."
Logan. Howlett recalls some of the absurd actions of his youth, which he used to think was ridiculous, but now he feels nostalgic.
Rojo was surprised by Uncle Wolf's performance, he thought that Uncle Wolf would be restrained for a night, but now that he is too worried, Uncle Wolf seems to be more open than he thought.
Just as he was thinking about it, he noticed that Lorna didn't know when, and ran to the bench by the pool alone, "You guys talk first, I'll go see Lorna." ”
