Ann Anne? Looking at the lovely girl with a round face standing in front of the door, Suleman couldn't help being a little stunned.
According to his original guess, even if the Church of Steam has a special office in Gangdian City, and has corresponding contacts, it will take at least a period of time, about two days, to collect the ritual materials for him to be promoted to the 'Secret Keeper'. to three days.
But what Suleman didn't expect was that in just one day, Annie collected all the materials and offered to deliver them to her door.
This... This efficiency is fast enough, it seems that she takes it very seriously! Suleman thought silently, while turning his body sideways, allowing Anne to enter the room to rest. After all, it is quite rude to let a young girl stand at the door, and it does not conform to the style of a gentleman.
Annie was not polite either, and stepped straight into the living room, with her hands behind her back, looking curiously at the decoration of the house of 'Arthur Doyle'. With her straight and clean overalls, there was a kind of 'decoration' workers' illusion.
"I'm going to the bathroom first."
Suleman pointed to the pajamas on his body. Seeing this, Annie smiled sweetly and said, "This is your etiquette, Mr. Suleman, you can't lose your etiquette in front of ladies just because we two know each other well. I'll pretend I didn't see you in the morning."
After finishing speaking, Annie blinked her eyes, her round face was a bit playful against the sunlight outside the window.
"No, compared to momentary blindness"
Suleman paused slightly, also jokingly: "I hope you can temporarily lose your memory, thank you, I will be very grateful to you."
"cluck cluck"
Annie couldn't help covering her mouth, and let out a clear and melodious laugh. The next moment, Suleman entered the bathroom under her gaze, and there was the sound of rustling water. Seeing this, Annie took advantage of her free time to start Survey the whole house.
Unknowingly, Annie walked up to the living room on the second floor and looked at the decorations on the wall. It was a wall with beautiful patterns. There was a rectangular oil painting hanging in the center. The cold winter with snowflakes blowing is depicted on the paper, which is cold and silent.
At the end of the entire snowfield, there is a wall of ice and snow that stretches for thousands of miles. It is the 'Bitter Cold Ice Wall'. As an official investigator of the Church of Steam, Anne has received a 'religious' education since she was a child. In terms of knowledge of ancient history, she is even more professional than some descendants of ancient nobles. Therefore, Annie knows that the bitter cold ice wall on the scroll is the source of the cold wave and the end of the war of the gods in the second era. Afterwards, the seasonal variation produced in the north.
It's a pity that Annie doesn't like this style. At this time, she is thinking silently, "If these patterns are replaced with mechanical pipes, and then the entire oil painting is replaced with a metallic steam boiler, instead of the traditional closet for heating." , Mr. Suleman will definitely like this style full of metal and power, right? Yes, regardless of gender, you will definitely like this style!
No one can resist the charm of steam machinery!
The more Annie thought about it, the more reliable she felt. For a while, she had a bold idea, wanting to modify the physical environment of the residence of the "Arthur Doyle" family, so that they can experience the beauty of steam machinery
Click!
Just as she was thinking about it, the door opened behind Annie. Subconsciously, Annie turned her head to look, and saw a young girl with dazzling blond hair coming out of the room, rubbing her beautiful blue eyes, muttering to himself:
"It's noisy"
"Sulman, what are you doing?"
In the morning sunlight outside the window, Annie could see the other person's face clearly. It was the facial features that surprised her too. His eyes were like autumn water with rippling ripples, and his black eyebrows were like silver moons, bringing out the three-dimensionality of his face. Yet soft. If I use the words of Suleman's previous life to describe it, it is the beauty characteristics of a mixed-race person who has inherited the advantages of Westerners and Easterners at the same time.
This is a peerless beauty that surpasses her.
Especially the long golden hair that hung down to her waist, shining brightly in the sun, soft and full of luster, which made Annie envious. She couldn't help but glanced at her brown hair that only reached her shoulders. Although she pays attention to maintenance, she deals with machinery, kerosene and various metal minerals all day long, so her hair is inevitably dry and rough.
"Ah! Who are you?"
After rubbing her eyes, Ibis realized that the person in front of her was not Suleman, and her face was filled with astonishment and tension visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, when she found out that the person in front of her was a girl, she was slightly relieved.
"Excuse me."
"What is your relationship with Suleman?"
The two spoke at the same time, almost in unison, and the similar content of the question also made their tone stagnate, and embarrassment appeared on their faces. Fortunately, Ibis's on-the-spot reaction was very qualified, and she, who has excellent acting skills, rolled her eyes , immediately replied—
"I'm his sister."
"Ibis Arthur Cedore!"
After saying this sentence, Ibis returned to normal, like a hostess, and asked Annie: "Madam, are you a guest who came to visit my brother? Well, I'm sorry we slept a little late yesterday , so my head is a little dizzy, and my consciousness is fuzzy. I was a little rude just now, you don't mind, I go back and change my clothes?"
"No, no, it's my presumptuousness." Annie quickly waved her hand, signaling her to please go her own way.
But after speaking, Annie looked at the corners of Ibis's beautiful eyes with a faint sense of fatigue, the eye-catching dark circles like pandas, and the other party's explanatory words. For some reason, she always felt awkward in her heart. . In particular, when the blond girl came out of the room, the tone she called her brother didn't look like a brother and sister.
I must have misunderstood it. Annie shook her head secretly, watching the other party return to the room, close the door, and the sound of changing clothes came again.
She always felt weird in her heart, but she couldn't tell the reason.
At this time, Suleman came out of the bathroom, and he had already put on a black and gray formal suit. He was dressed neatly. Following the movement from upstairs, he found Anne on the second floor—
"Hey, Annie, why are you here?"
"Can't I come up?" Annie wanted to apologize to the other party, but in her mind, she couldn't help thinking that the meeting just now was a coincidence, so she blurted out a question.
"No, that's not what it means." Suleman's expression froze, almost revealing the problem.
Fortunately, he has experienced countless thrilling scenes, and the test in front of him is not difficult to handle. In a flash, he thought of the words: "Well, because my sister has sleepwalking and nonsense problems, I am worried that she will be in trouble when she is not awake. His actions will startle you."
In fact, Suleman was just worried about Ibis, because she slept too late and got up in the morning with a blurred consciousness, what problems would be exposed in front of Anne, such as they are not siblings, such as Ibis' surname 'Christie'. This is all very dangerous.
But at this moment, he put on a patch-like rhetoric, which immediately resolved the crisis.
Perfect!
Suleman praised himself in his heart, and the next moment, Annie in front of him nodded slightly, as if accepting his statement.
Soon, Ibis also came out of the room, and showed off her breakfast skills in front of Annie. While enjoying breakfast, Annie secretly looked at the two of them.
For some reason, she kept thinking about the nervous look on Ibis' face when she came out of the room.
Normal brothers and sisters live together, will you feel nervous when you come out of the room and see outsiders
Annie turned the small spoon, thinking about this question all the time, until she found that the two of them were staring at her with expressions of curiosity and concern on their faces. Immediately, Annie blushed—
"By the way, I have put all the spiritual materials you want downstairs."
After finishing speaking, Annie bid farewell to the two, and left the house of 'Athel Doyle' as if fleeing.
