Chapter 16: I Want to Be Strong
At the end of the dinner, the chefs in the back kitchen were announced to be able to leave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After cleaning the stove and putting away the kitchen utensils, Zhang Ang also wiped off his sweat, waved goodbye to the masters of the Paris Culinary Association, and walked back to the academy with the chefs who had been busy all day.
The lights were lit again in the small building surrounded by red roses, and Zhang Ang sat alone in a chair in the living room, anxiously waiting for Miss Sophie's return.
In the atrium, the night is as cool as water, and the cold wind of winter is howling outside the small building.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and the small white carriage stopped in front of the small building.
The taciturn coachman opened the carriage door, and from the carriage came a weak figure wrapped in a blanket, it was Miss Sophie, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Zhang Ang hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the two in.
He saw that Miss Sophie's eyes were closed, and her face was so pale that he couldn't speak, and he asked, "Miss Sophie, what's wrong with her? Didn't she participate in the auction?
The silent coachman did not speak, but carried Miss Sophie upstairs, gently put her on the bed, and carefully covered her with the quilt, closed the door, and walked out.
"Miss Sophie was injured in a duel with someone at a dinner party. As he walked downstairs, the coachman explained.
"Duel, why is there a duel, who is the other party?" Zhang Ang's questions came one after another.
"You don't need to know this, take care of Miss Sophie, you just have to take good care of Miss Sophie, understand?" the coachman's words were very harsh, and he walked out of the small building.
After a while, the coachman turned back, and a suitcase was placed in front of Zhang Ang: "This is the martial arts secret book taken by Miss Sophie, keep it safe! I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Then, without looking back, he drove away from Zhang Ang's sight with the carriage on his head.
Only a confused and overwhelmed person was left behind.
Zhang Ang stood at the door with the box, hesitated for a long time, stomped his foot, went back to the room to put the box, and ran towards a small building not far away.
This small building surrounded by yellow roses was the first place where Miss Sophie took him on the first day of his visit to the college, and it is said that Miss Sophie's teacher lived inside.
Zhang Ang banged on the door of the small building without scruples, shouting: "Is there anyone? I'm Li Ang of Sophie's family, Miss Sophie, she has an accident." ”
After a while, the door opened, and out came a woman in pajamas, it was the blonde **** Sofina.
"What, what did you say was wrong with Sophie?" asked Sofina eagerly.
"She went to the auction as if she was dueling with someone at a dinner party, and now she looks very badly injured, and I don't know what to do, so I have to come to you. Zhang Ang said everything he knew.
Hearing such an answer, Sofina hurriedly ran upstairs and shouted, "Mom, Sophie, something happened to her, she ......"
Before she finished shouting, a middle-aged woman with blond hair walked out: "I heard it all, stop talking nonsense, go, go together." ”
......
In the room of the small building, Zhang Ang took them to see the weak and unconscious Miss Sophie.
Senior Sister Sofina burst into tears on the spot: "Sophie, Sophie, what's wrong with you, who beat you like this? I, I'll help you get revenge!"
The middle-aged woman with blonde hair was calmer: "Don't make noise, let me check first, how is the injury." ”
After some inspection, the middle-aged woman was already full of anger, and she gritted her teeth and burst out a sentence: "It's the inner strength of the Philharmonic Palace! These bastards have such a heavy hand!"
"Is it Sophie who was injured by the people of the Philharmonic Palace? I will go to investigate tomorrow, find out this person, and avenge Sophie, these bastards, relying on their strong martial arts, actually bullied us Sophie. Sister Sofina was also resentful.
The middle-aged woman turned around and asked Zhang Ang, "What the hell is going on, how could Sophie have a conflict with the people of the Philharmonic Palace?"
Zhang Ang was also puzzled, but he still stubbornly said: "I don't know, Miss Sophie went to the Louvre to participate in the Paris Winter Auction at that time, and I didn't see her for a day, Miss Sophie was sent back by her coachman, who said that she was injured in a duel with someone at the dinner." That's all I know. ”
"And where were you then?" the middle-aged woman continued.
"I'm at the Louvre, too, but I've been asked to cook the food, and I've been busy in the back kitchen, and I really don't know anything about the banquet. Zhang Ang also felt very uncomfortable.
"You guy is really useless, you can't protect Sophie, not to mention, you can't even provide some information, I really don't know what Sophie is raising you for, get out, get out, get out, get downstairs, just leave it to us here." "Senior Sister Sofina is going to drive Zhang Ang out.
Zhang Ang took out the bottle of "Xiao Huandan" from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "I have a bottle of medicine here, it should have some effect on internal injuries, I don't know if it is suitable or not, I will trouble you here, I will go down first." ”
Sitting on the bed in his room, Zhang Ang slapped himself twice, he had never hated his weakness like now.
He didn't know why Miss Sophie had a conflict with someone at the dinner party, because she was retaliated against for taking too many martial arts cheats, or because she ran into some enemy, or simply being bullied by some dignitaries and nobles. So much so that he was seriously injured and fell unconscious, dying. These were things he couldn't change, even if he was there.
He needs to be stronger, much, much stronger than he is now to change all that.
Originally, Miss Sophie had been silently taking care of him, protecting herself, preemptively eliminating danger for him, taking precautions, so that he was safe and sound, and she was also attentive to him, arranging work for him, so that he could be as happy as possible.
Miss Sophie never pressed herself to ask for her secrets, to expose her lame lies, and to embarrass herself.
Originally, the Miss Sophie in his mind was always so omnipotent, so shrewd and capable, so calculating, and so powerful.
But now, he knew that Miss Sophie was just a 16 or 7-year-old girl, just more mature and intelligent than the others, but she would not be able to beat a strong opponent, she would be injured, and she would be unconscious.
She carried the mission of revival of the family on her thin shoulders alone, and she must have suffered a lot of hardships and sins behind her, but none of these were shown in front of her, she just smiled faintly, and then solved all the troubles alone.
Therefore, Zhang Ang is now desperate to become stronger, shelter Miss Sophie, help her, protect her, take care of her, and avenge her!
And the opportunity to become stronger is in the small suitcase in his hand, in the neatly placed martial arts cheats in the box.
Zhang Ang reached into the open suitcase and took out one book after another of martial arts cheats with different thicknesses and fonts.
This high-priced martial arts cheats was quickly flipped by him, and every sentence and image kept flashing in front of his eyes.
As the night deepened, Zhang Ang dropped the last scroll, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
