noisy. Because it was school time, some went home and some stayed at school to participate in club activities. There are also people who are not in a hurry to go home simply because their friends are at school. Ah, students ~ little humans living simple lives, what a wonderful time ~
A small, complex group was heading to the parking lot.
"How many more days will you be grounded?" Laura asked, naturally the target was Alice. It would be a mistake to think that this girl wanted to drag Alice away for fun. The real meaning of this question is, 'How long do we, all of us in Barton, including the aliens, have to worry about being found by some vampires from the west... '
"I don't know." Alice had already seen her little pink and took out the key, "Zach is back, what happened now should be over."
"The end? Huh." Saint Sissi rolled her eyes to the sky, "It's just the beginning of new troubles. If you ask me, it's best that that guy never comes back. Huh, it would be best if he really hangs up." Pouting, There is probably not much sincerity in what he said.
Laura ignored Sissi and walked to the way where Alice was about to get in the car. She turned around and walked backwards, "Grandma asked about it." She curled her lips and said, "How are you feeling? Are you sad? Are you okay? Something like that.”
Alice became nervous and said, "You didn't say anything to her."
"Of course not!" Laura also rolled her eyes, "Yesterday she was discussing Grande's affairs with Mrs. Quinn, and asked Mrs. Quinn what she thought of Zach's, uh... disappearance."
"What did Mrs. Queen say?" Alice asked out of curiosity.
Laura shrugged, "What can I say? It's nonsense." She kept rolling her eyes, "Do you remember that your Grande was attacked by that, uh, gang from the southeast, Skull? Is that what it's called? It doesn't matter, it's attacked ." Laura seemed to be shaking her head helplessly, "Mrs. Quinn told grandma who knows if it is Grande who is just looking for a presence, to attract attention or something."
Remember this. Attacked by Skull, Grande managed to attract the attention of the West Enders and discovered Herman's plan to sell the factory.
Mentioning this matter would naturally make someone unhappy, Caesar, because the person Herman was selling the factory to was his mother, Aisela's husband. Please forgive the wordless title, we all know what this Caesar's attitude is towards his fucking husbands.
Caesar pursed his lips, "Are you serious! My mother just went to court for you West Enders! Mrs. Quinn is still thinking about such a trivial matter!"
What deserves our attention is naturally not what these teenagers said to each other, but how these words reflect their current relationship.
At least Caesar, who could only be regarded as Sissi's follower, could not say such a thing in front of Laura, because of the political barrier, wasn't it? No matter how much he disrespected his mother and her behavior, he was still her son. Quinn and Barton are not families that support Aisela.
But now, Caesar can say this freely. The political stance passed down by blood, haha, is meaningless now. The campaign offices were closed due to scandals involving supporters, and Ethera was going to lose.
It's a pity. Having said that, this is a small group with a complicated composition. Anything you say will offend other people.
"Your mother is not the only one who has gone to court!" It's Kepler. Can't believe it. He and Jimmy, the young master of Yuri's family, are shoulder to shoulder without shame. In an instant, he looks like a little girl. Thoughts: "So~ There should be no adults in your family now~ I really don't want to go home and hear 'You should learn more from Eve!'" Rolling his eyes, "I'm so annoyed! How about going to your place~"
Kepler had no self-control and took the initiative to go to the boy's house. Don't worry. Is there no adult in Yuri Manor now? Yes. Theoretically, yes, because everyone in Barton City knows from today's newspaper that it was Yuri who testified in court in the List case today.
But that's just theory. Jimmy seemed really looking forward to the idea of being at home with Kepler without adult supervision, but alas, "Maitreya is at home..."
"Uh..." Kepler lost his temper, "It's really disappointing."
You may not be able to keep up with Kepler's thinking about this disappointing meaning. Last time, a couple showed off their love in front of Maitreya at Yuri Manor, and the man almost died. We are talking about our charming Li and Mr. Bishop.
As you all know, in complex small groups, the topics will never stay in one place.
As Kepler's closest friend, Laura not only kept up with Kepler's brain circuits, but also used her own brain circuits to turn around, looking at Alice with her lips curled, "How is Matthew doing lately?"
"Matthew is not doing well." Alice was honest. "It's just that Louise is still dragging him to look for Charlie."
"Who is Charlie?" Kepler asked impatiently, but her mind was not on this at all, "Oh." She curled her lips, "That new vampire."
"Kepler!" Laura looked around nervously and made a gesture to lower her voice.
"Uh." Kepler simply rolled his eyes, "Sissi is here, who would eavesdrop?"
"I'm not your nanny." Sissi curled her lips. The reason is that Sissi's interpersonal relationship is terrible in every aspect, and no one (including aliens) wants to get close to her.
Kepler waved his hand and raised his eyebrows, probably because he suddenly became curious about something, "Speaking of which, how many vampires are there in Barton now?" He rubbed his boyfriend, "Isn't your Maitreya for Barton? Are there any statistics on the alien races? How many? Who are they? Tell me~"
Before Jimmy was ready to answer, Laura glared at him. A clear warning look.
A little thing that no one may remember. Kepler still doesn’t know that his aunt and niece are Rimmer. This secret was well kept by Laura. Is it to protect friends? Mostly. The other part is, well, do you still remember how Laura knew that Eve was not an ordinary human
Eve said to Benjamin in front of Laura: "I'm not good at controlling people's hearts, and the effect can only last for a short time..." It happened during the summer vacation, when Teacher Trisha took the children from Parker Elementary School to Port Marsa, During the visit, at the entrance of the seafood stall, Alice saw the death of the port worker and asked Benjamin to save him.
Laura, a little scared of Eve.
A typical human heart, isn't it? When Zach showed the fact that he was not human, he saved the five of them in the elevator. Eve, Eve is ready to control her. The way your true face is revealed is so important.
So Lola is warning Jimmy not to say anything that will make Kepler redefine what coming home means. yes. Among the five people who knew about the existence of the alien race, only Kepler was a girl who shared a home with the alien race. This is a situation that needs to be handled carefully. After all, with Kepler's brain circuitry, God knows how she would deal with such a thing.
But Laura's hope will be in vain. It started with two people falling behind in the small group moving forward.
Because Jimmy took Kepler's hand and said with an extremely serious expression, "Kepler! I have something to say to you!"
"Okay..." Kepler was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jimmy. Who knows how his brain circuits are twisted, "I... willing?"
The entire small group stopped and looked at the two stragglers with strange expressions.
It was Laura who reacted quickly, "Oh my God! Kepler! What are you thinking!!"
"I..." Kepler regained consciousness, his face started to turn red, and he pushed Jimmy's hand, "Uh, I'm having a brain twitch, leave me alone! What are you going to say, Jimmy?"
"I..." It was Jimmy's turn to be stunned, "I..."
Laura rushed from the front of the small group to the back of the straggler, "Yes Jimmy! What are you going to say!!" Angry, for an obvious reason, Laura was very disdainful of her friend's love! This guy Jimmy dumped Kepler once! Facts have proved that in Jimmy's eyes, the Yuri family is more important than Kepler! So Laura is really not in a good mood now.
Laura shouldn’t be forced like this.
After the daze on Jimmy's face disappeared, determination appeared, "Kepler, you should take a deep breath. What I am going to tell you next may be a bit difficult to accept..."
Laura's pupils shrank, she reacted quickly and grabbed Kepler, "We don't want to let this guy mess around..."
"What are you doing!" Kepler shook him off, "I want Jimmy to say~" His tone didn't have any foreknowledge of the current situation, but he still blushed and smiled, and took a deep breath, "Okay~ Tell me~"
"Jimmy don't..."
"Eve and Lydia are vampires!" Jimmy said. "They are Rimmer! Their only purpose in coming to Barton is to take over Smith! Because, 'Valmina', Rimmer did it!"
The smile on Kepler's face was still maintained, but he didn't know if he was slow to react or didn't understand.
"Jimmy! You..." Laura has a bad habit. I don't know if everyone still remembers it. When she doesn't get what she wants as Princess Barton and her girlish coquettishness, she will act like a pampered and long-protected girl. Like the children of the aristocratic family, if she takes action, the responsibility cannot be on her anyway. Just like what she was doing now, she stepped forward in a girlish manner, raised her hand, and pushed towards Jimmy.
Jimmy didn't resist much, Laura didn't even touch him, Kepler pushed Laura away from the side.
Kepler was not slow to react, but took some time to respond to everything that needed to be responded to. Looking at Laura who staggered a few steps before being supported by Alice who came over in a panic, the smile had long since disappeared, and the first person who spoke In a word, "You know!"
"Kepler, I..."
Kepler's face was a little gloomy, "So every time I complain, my little niece, Eve, is so perfect, I can't compare to her..." The gloomy direction, uh, is very strange, "I worry about my father. You stare at me tighter and tighter, nagging in my ears to remind me all the time, forcing me to learn from that perfect niece! But you always know!"
"Kepler, I..."
"You always knew!" Kepler was not prepared to give Laura any opening to explain, "but you didn't want to tell me! I was worried about not being able to compare to a vampire!" After that, it was strange, "You still want to Stop Jimmy from telling me the truth! Tell the truth that will make me feel so much better!"
The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment, as everyone seemed to be trying hard to keep up with Kepler's thinking.
"Kepler." The only guy who doesn't need to keep up with Kepler now, Jimmy, because telling the truth is not to make Kepler comfortable, but has a private purpose. Now, when no one is disturbing, it is to advance this purpose. Opportunity, "Did you hear clearly? Rimel is going to take over Smith! Lydia and Eve are vampires, you and your family are just humans! Your home..."
After being interrupted, Kepler continued to show her thoughts that no one could catch up with, "Lydia and Eve are family, why are you emphasizing taking over?" She actually rolled her eyes, "Look at me, is it possible? Do you want me to be in charge of the Smith family? Me! I hate those things! Well, we all hate this kind of thing, right, Laura? Neither you nor Kyle want to inherit some ghost family industry, and neither do I!"
The atmosphere was awkward in a different way.
After rolling his eyes again, Kepler seemed to be in a happy mood, "Hahaha, I feel much better. I don't have to worry about being compared to Eve anymore. Besides, it's so relaxing. I know that my father and I are only human beings." , how can you beat a vampire~ Heir to Smith, ha! It will definitely not be me~ There is no pressure at all~"
"No!" Unexpectedly, but not unexpectedly, what happened was Jimmy, the only guy who retained his own selfishness when everyone was trying to keep up with Kepler, "Kepler! You don't understand! This is not Little things!! My parents have already contacted Lydia at Maitreya's suggestion! If our Yuri family really wants to gain a foothold in Barton again, we need the support of you Smith! And your father can't be without grudges. Cooperate with our Yuri! So our family will look for Lydia and Rimel!! You and your father will become the puppets of Smith in the future!"
Not sure what Jimmy was thinking, he glanced at Alice gloomily at this moment, "And the suggestion Maitreya gave was suggested by Grande's vampire! It was him! Tell Maitreya how Yuri can reintegrate into Barton! How to regain the trust of people in the West District!" Don't forget this.
Kepler frowned, but the reason was still weird, "Why are you so excited? It's your family that wants to cooperate with Rimmer. No matter how much you emphasize Rimmer, Rimmer, Eve and Lydia , is Smith’s family, we are family, legal, blood, it doesn’t matter. For people like us, except for the head of the family, well, I guess in the future, it will be Eve. Except for the head of Eve, the rest of the people , aren’t they all puppets, puppets of the family. Is there any difference?”
Kepler tilted his head, "At least I can be a puppet who doesn't have to worry about anything~" He rolled his eyes, "Lola, hum, I forgive you~ Haha, it seems like I'm much luckier than you and Kyle. ~”
Who would have thought that this girl who is always out of the situation would be the one who understands best.
