Wednesday, another boring day is about to begin... Oh no, Grande has a wedding to attend.
"Hank, are you really not going?" Zach asked while shaking the invitation in his hand during breakfast, "The invitations above are all members of Grande."
"Don't count me among you!" Old Hank howled and continued to deal with breakfast. By the way, Old Hank had a hard time eating this breakfast. I wonder who eats crabs for breakfast
Zach shook his head, "The job of dealing with Mrs. Donna will be left to you today. You are old friends anyway."
Old Hank clicked his tongue, "What do you have to deal with?! Didn't you just go there in the afternoon?"
"It's rare to attend a wedding, so of course we have to prepare." Zach curled his eyes. I'm afraid what he has to prepare is just a big party for the Barton alien race! Pay attention to? Naturally, we attach great importance to it! This party came by chance, but it was also timely!
Why? Because of Sibella's plan, many "outsiders" from the Indian side will flood into Barton. This is probably the only chance for the local "people" in Barton to get together and "look forward to the future"!
Snapped! Old Hank tapped a crab leg on the dining table, not wanting to argue.
Benjamin and Matthew enjoyed their meal very happily, and there were a lot of broken shells piled on the table. Alice looked at the debris with a sad look, as if she was depressed about the process of cleaning up later.
But what we should know is that what Alice is worried about is not this, but what happened yesterday. These crabs were ordered yesterday. Seeing them, Alice couldn't help but think of what happened during their lunch. The more happily Benjamin ate at this time, the more uneasy she felt about her friendship.
Zach patted Alice on the shoulder, "Don't worry, didn't we talk to you yesterday? It's fine."
Alice could only nod silently, and then. He continued to look at the table of remnants sadly.
"Louis, where's Mo?" Zach asked.
"Backyard." Louise pursed her lips and answered uncertainly, "She said she would take advantage of the early morning to 'help' the things underground..."
"I tried to explain it." Mo Piao came in and stretched his body. Fortunately, the female ghost is now wearing something in the shape of Alice's pajamas - a hemp-colored long skirt that is similar to a lampshade, so no curves are exposed, so she can be kindly invited to sit next to Louise...
Mo smiled at Louise, and his words were an explanation to Zach, "But she said she didn't understand." When Mo sat down, he looked at Zach, who was holding an invitation in one hand and a wine glass in the other, "I think you I don’t understand it either, so I won’t explain it at all. All you need to know is that I’m helping that Harrison.”
Zach didn't know what expression to make for a moment and took a sip of his wine. Let's confirm, "While you are helping Harrison, is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
"No." Mo Yi waved his hand, with a completely useless expression. No wonder she, it was Zach himself who kept saying, "Please recognize the status quo, this is not a republic." Everyone saw the friendly exchange of world knowledge that Zach had been trying hard to carry out. Doesn’t it all end with Zach’s impatience
Mo's hand holding up a crab suddenly stopped in mid-air and raised his eyebrows. "Well, yes." She tilted her head and looked at Zach, "Can you ask that guy standing on the back porch not to disturb me?"
Uh, it's 'general', it's not about standing in a penalty position, it's about contact and facing the sun...
Zach frowned. "What did 'General' do?"
"No, it's just that at night, when he can move freely, he wanders around the yard, and after dawn he keeps chatting with me." Mo curled his lips. "I told you. I don't know why, but you have the ability to block my feelings. You are from the same branch, so he is the same." She shook her head, "I don't think you did it intentionally, but you should try not to be in my feelings." ..." She skipped a certain noun that no one here could understand anyway, "Excuse me. Especially this 'general', I can still feel control over you. In him..." Mo shook his head, and then shook his head.
The 'General' on the back porch had a frown on his face, well, he was disgusted. But this is motivation. He faced the east sunshine and thought, 'Work hard! come on! Get out of this place quickly! '
Zach pouted, "You know he can hear you."
Mo nodded and made a mouth gesture, which was a bit long, "I did it on purpose. I was embarrassed to tell him directly." Do you understand how I compare my mouth movements? My federal language is still in contact, I hope you can understand it. '
Zach raised the wine glass in his hand. To be honest, Mo's character was really hard to figure out.
"Okay." The chores were over and the main topic was over. Zach still shook the invitation in his hand and said, "Mo, do you want to attend the wedding in the afternoon? I will bring Jin, and Grande will have a skinchanger join him at the beginning of the year. It’s something everyone knows. Since it’s a party, I will naturally bring him along. What about you? Do you want to come together?”
Mo turned to look at the Great Dane chewing his food in the corner. The Great Dane looked back at Mo with his chirps, God knows what they were communicating.
"I don't have a dress." Mo turned his head, "Louise, would you like to lend me one? It's not really a loan, just let me study it."
"Of course." Louise smiled and nodded. Louise didn't even need to ask, she would definitely go.
"Danny?" Zach looked at Huan Ren who was eating breakfast, "What about you?"
Danny looked up and thought for a while. There was a large gathering of Barton aliens. Of course he wanted to see it, but he didn't know what to do... "Well, I'll see what happens. I don't know what will happen to Willy's mother today. If it goes well and I can come back early, I’ll go.”
Zach nodded, and finally looked at Benjamin, "Are you ready for the formal attire I asked you to prepare yesterday?"
Benjamin's formal attire, haha, appeared once before, at Amanda's birthday party, and it was just an old coat.
"Okay." Benjamin replied vaguely, with food still stuffed in his mouth, "hang over there."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "You know Matthew can wear the dress made at Morelin's last time (Matthew wore it to the prom at Repert High School), and you, Alpha, will wear that old coat." What?"
Benjamin's face froze, and he frowned at Zach. It means, 'You're reminding me now, is that intentional?' '
of course. Zach smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry, I already prepared it for you before you came back yesterday. Haha, it's already here."
James is here.
The detective walked directly into the restaurant carrying a suit with a gloomy expression. The first thing he said was, "You let the 'General' stand outside like that?! Can you pay attention..."
James shut up. Looking at the strange woman on Grande’s dining table—Mo.
Benjamin no longer needed prompting, he took the dress in James' hand directly, tore open the plastic seal, and gestured to his body, "Old one."
James' chest swelled, caused by inhalation. He struggled to turn his eyes away from Mo's face and glared at Benjamin, "Of course it's the old one! Where can I get you a new one in one day!"
Zack smiled and swung his glass around. "Your body shape barely fits." When James first arrived at Grande, he was not wearing Benjamin's clothes. "I'll make some adjustments."
"You know how?" James stared at Zach.
"Before I found He Yi's tailor, what did you think I was wearing?" We vampires are also versatile...
The clothes given away, the water poured out. James ignored the clothes that had been thrown into Zach's arms by Benjamin. He took one last look at Mo, turned around and left.
"James." Zach raised an eyebrow. It's doubtful, more curious. "Why don't you ask me why I asked you to borrow the dress?"
This matter goes back to yesterday when Zach and the others came back from the cemetery. Matthew was ordered to bury the transferred ghoul Harrison in the backyard. This scene is not as bad as everyone thinks. Remember, Harrison was delivered in a box by Father Constantine. So in the Grand Backyard. There was no disgusting sight of exposed corpses, just a somewhat rusty iron box.
This process is too boring, and Zach needs a little distraction, temporarily diverted from the impact of the priest's demonic evolution on Barton's future, and the unknown thinking about Harrison's future. So start thinking about what's going on with Grande right now. Mr. Donna's funeral was really a boring job. After a few words of explanation, Zach thought about the preparations for the wedding.
Then I thought about it, Barton's Alpha didn't even have a decent dress, and it was impossible to make it freshly made. I went to buy it. Zach didn't want to appear on Lister Street for the time being.
It's not a boring thing like being banned from the Liszt property, but Zach doesn't want to run into Emilia, who happens to be related to Liszt and Kozier through the shelter project. Haha, Brian is still lying in the Grand guest room like a living dead...
What, you just said Zach wouldn’t go to Cozier’s store? Before Cozier cooperated with Liszt, Liszt Street was still full of men’s clothing sellers! Well, don't forget, if Zach could see that, he wouldn't need a mind-reading tailor.
Therefore, our vampire naturally thought of a certain young police detective who had good taste and had enough money to support his taste - James Lance.
A phone call was made to the police station, just like Zach's way of talking every time, in a roundabout way, first in a gossipy or concerned tone, he asked what James had done with the group of people after leaving Grande yesterday. Especially the two guys who were taken away, Cliff and Eric.
Of course, with Zach's ability to speak impeccably, he said this, "Eric is a young man that Grande often hires. He makes no mistakes. James, don't embarrass the kind-hearted South Side people. Oh, and The guy with him..."
The answer Zach got was a very low-key, "None of your business!"
After successfully pushing James' emotions to the explosive limit, Zach asked to borrow the dress. Based on Zach's understanding of James, either this guy was so irritated that he didn't want to ask Zach why he wanted to borrow the dress, or, regardless of the fact that he was still at the police station, he started arguing with Zach on the phone. By the way, they are two extremes anyway.
As a result, it was the former, and Zach was happy with this result.
But yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. Now James has reasons and circumstances, so he can ask whatever he wants.
In order to seduce James, Zach even waved the invitation in his hand. Zach's idea is not complicated either. It would be beneficial to inform the detective about Barton's interracial gathering. Well, it’s not really a benefit, it can only be said that there are no disadvantages. If something unexpected happened, just what if, it would be better to have someone in the police who knew about it. When I talk about these things in the future, I won’t feel like I’m deliberately concealing them. Yes, the relationship between Zach and James has always been so cautious.
Zach was surprised.
James was already gloomy, but he became even gloomier after seeing the invitation in Zach's hand. He turned over his hand and took out an identical invitation, "No need to ask!" He took back his invitation, turned around and left!
Zach was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until James completely disappeared and the sound of the engine in the backyard became more and more distant that Zach frowned and said to himself, "Did I miss something? Why was James also affected?" Invitation, who gave it to him. Wes?"
Now that we know Wes' relationship with Cliff, Eric, and Jason as brothers in the orphanage, Zach's idea is not too outrageous.
But immediately, Zach shook his head, "Then he should also be a guest. Why is there an invitation..."
No one in Grande's restaurant would help Zach think. They needed to concentrate on dealing with the crabs. Later, Alpha and Matthew would have to empty everything they could swallow.
The only one who took the time to pay attention to Zach was Mo. She held a crab leg and waved it without interest, "What's the matter with the way this detective looks at me? He seems to have seen the Republic before and is interested in my appearance." Not too curious…”
Then the two guys who were thinking about their own things looked at each other and had no intention of helping each other resolve their doubts, so they fell silent. Joined Sister Grande, who was staring at the food remnants on the table the whole time, with a sad look on her face, and they were in a daze together.
This inexplicably turned into this breakfast atmosphere, which lasted for a while and was interrupted by a new visitor.
"Alice!" Laura rushed into the restaurant, "Alice..." Completely contrary to the momentum of her rushing in, after seeing Grande's 'family' in the restaurant, Laura scrawled at the door with a nervous expression. , "Love, Alice, do you have time? I, can we go up and chat?"
"Okay!" Alice woke up from her daze and ran to Laura. Yesterday, the endless "I..." between the two of them can finally be said after time has passed. This is a good thing for the friendship between girls.
The two held hands and quickly disappeared at the door of the restaurant.
Then, hurriedly, Laura ran back again, holding... uh, a sealed letter in her hand.
"Ben, Benjamin, this is the letter Eve asked me to give you."
Benjamin pouted and waved his hand, pointing at Zach.
No matter what Zach was thinking just now, all the emotions on his face disappeared at this time, turning into a face full of joy. Our vampire reaches out, "Give it to me."
Laura seemed to just want to send this thing away quickly, she pursed her lips and put down the letter in Zach's hand, and ran away again. But this time, when she left the restaurant, she turned her head and glanced at Mo, whom she had never seen before.
Zach took Eve's letter, the joy on his face became more intense, and his eyes fell on the crimson seal. The complicated patterns obviously represented something, "Unexpectedly, Eve has been promoted and is the leader of Rimmer." That's right. Haha." He said with a smile, "Before me, not bad."
"Hmph, aren't you the leader of Toledo now?" It's a mockery, right? From Benjamin.
Zach raised his eyebrows and nodded, still smiling, "That's right, I'm the first." He turned over the front and recited, "Alpha, please give me your blessing."
Zach curled his lips and started. (.)
