The Sunday morning was quiet and peaceful, probably because it had rained all night - I was used to the sound of rain, and the brief pause made people feel especially peaceful.
James finished his breakfast honestly, said he was going to work, and left Grande. What's the surprise? This police detective came back from last night's dinner without making any noise. He didn't mess with Zack or Ike. Even Zack gave random instructions on his own initiative - "How about you send this Vincent to night school?" OK, there are no more buses." They all accepted it silently without any resistance.
It's random, I don't know why.
The eaves of Grande's back porch were dripping with water, and the gaps in the floor of the back porch, which was dyed dark, were full of water. The steps were also stained with mud, extending in the direction of people's travels and spreading toward the stairwell. The hammock in the backyard was also covered with green and yellow leaves blown by the night wind from nowhere.
Zach, who wanted to clean up his living environment, looked up at the gray sky on the back porch to judge the weather. It will rain again, and our vampire nerves sigh, "Hygiene should be done after the weather clears."
"I've never seen you do hygiene, Alice is doing it!" It was Laura who gave Zach this look. Forgot to mention, Laura came early in the morning and had breakfast at Grande.
However, this girl very wisely kept quiet during breakfast, mainly because James was also at the table. We don’t know how Laura’s brain circuit planned the relationship between the detective and Grande. We only need to know that sincerity is not very good. Now that the familiar police detective has gone to work, Laura can safely talk to Zach about the commission, Kyle, and Vincent.
Zach glanced at the girl, a little speechless, "The commission has been completed, what else do you want?" After dinner last night, James sent Vincent to night school, and Zach called Barton Manor. Ended his own commission of 100 yuan. It feels like today, shouldn't Laura be spending time with Kyle at home to calm her mood? I don't know why she came here.
"Kyle wants to apologize to Vincent for his accusation the day before yesterday." Laura sat on the bench and found a small wooden stick from nowhere. He bent down and poked at the mud on his shoes.
Zach curled his lips. Guilt, to be honest, is no different from hatred. It’s not over yet. “Then let him go. What are you doing here?”
"Didn't you say that the school no longer has Vincent's contact information!" Laura curled her lips, "How can we find him!"
"But obviously he won't come back here." Zach shook his head. The brother and sister shouldn't expect anything from Grande.
Laura is also obviously a guy who has never really done any hygiene. She started stuffing the mud from her shoes into the cracks in the floor, thinking Zach didn't see it!
"Didn't you say that he was attending night school?" Laura continued what she was doing in a concealed manner, "I'm going to go find him. Anyway, I'm going to check out the classroom that Pike Elementary School borrowed over there in Back Bay. Yes, let’s see if you can find out if you know what classes he takes.”
"Marine freight and storage." Zach pursed his lips, "That's what he said."
"Oh." Laura muttered silently. Probably remembering it, the real purpose emerged. "I want Alice to go with me."
Zach grinned and looked at the girl speechlessly, "Why?"
"What are you doing~" Laura said coquettishly, "It's not a bad thing, you just want to inquire with me~"
"Alice is not good at dealing with people. Is there any use in staying with you?" Zach tried to reason.
"I just want to ask someone to accompany me. What's wrong!" During some hurried and unreasonable arguments, Laura kept bending down and did not look at Zach, but Zach found that the girl's ears were red, which was caused by poor blood flow due to her posture.
no. The vampire could clearly hear Laura's heartbeat speeding up.
"Tell the truth." Zach's face became serious, "What happened."
Laura stood up, threw away the muddy stick in her hand, and stared at Zach, her expression was actually a little irritable, "When I came to you yesterday, Sissy Yesil went to the West District to look for me."
What
Laura stood up, rolled her eyes and stamped her feet irritably, thinking that Zach wouldn't notice that she had just stepped on the mud that had just been stuffed into the cracks in the floor... "She said that Kyle and I forgot when we took her to visit the school. I left my contact information, so I ran away directly.”
Well, it sounds like it fits Sissi's 'conscious' character.
"What is she going to do?"
"How do I know!" Laura stamped her feet again, "But grandma and parents seem to like her very much." Rolling his eyes, Zach was about to interrupt, but Laura added, "Of course, after I told them what Kyle told me , her identity, and her relationship with the church!”
"What happens after that?" Zach's assumption is that the elders of the Barton family will completely lose their affection for Sissi and keep Laura away from her.
"Humph!" Laura began to circle around the back porch, repeating her irritability, "They just ignored it and said they would let me handle my interactions with Miss Yesil!"
Zach raised an eyebrow.
"Grandma only said that our Barton family never wants to have anything to do with the church, and let me figure it out myself!"
Raising his eyebrows a little higher, Zach began to think.
"Then that Sissi called again in the evening. Just after your call, she said that she was very interested in the Parker Elementary School charity project I told her about at school and wanted me to take her to see it!"
"You agreed?"
"It's not me!" Laura seemed really unhappy, waving her little fists randomly on the back porch, "My family agreed! They talked about it in the afternoon, and they agreed a long time ago. I told them that I didn't tell them Sissi's identity. They must have liked her very much before! Did you listen? The phone call at night was just to inform me!"
"Well, it means that your family doesn't care at all." Zach's thinking has ended. It's not that he doesn't care, but it's probably to give Laura a workout.
"Then." Zach looked at the angry Laura, "You are taking Sissy to the Back Bay today? So you want to find someone to accompany you."
That's it, the irritable and entangled girl just wants someone to accompany her.
"Yes!" Laura rolled her eyes, "Everyone else had to go to church with their families, 'work' at Parker Elementary School, and take a nap in the church. That guy Kepler chose the latter one without caring about anything. It’s just me! I want Alice!”
There are no services at the Patton house on the West Side. Remember it.
"Why don't you take Kyle with you?" Zach suggested sincerely.
"Grandma won't let me, she said, I'll find a way myself." Laura fiddled with her fingers irritably.
Zach can confirm, this is exercise. The education methods of people in the West End are really speechless. I wonder if this will cause trouble to the growth of young people? Well, I probably know that. on purpose. It's a pity that the people from the West End miscalculated this time. Sissi, huh, saint, can she serve as a training target for an ordinary girl like Laura? There is a difference between heaven and earth.
Zach pursed his lips and began to hesitate, "Laura, I think you need to know something." This hesitation was quickly eliminated. Be serious, Laura already knows enough things. A bunch of people’s secrets are held in this girl’s hands. One more thing doesn’t matter...
"Lola." Sissi's voice appeared from the back porch without any warning. The saint stepped onto the back porch briskly with a smile on her face, "I'm here. It's really hard to find here. Why did you make an appointment before the funeral?" Shall we meet at home? Come to the funeral home early on Sunday morning. It’s really unlucky.”
Zach swallowed down what he had just prepared to say and glanced at Laura with a frown. Stating a fact that was thrown in the face, "You asked someone to come to the Grand to meet."
Sissi's sudden appearance obviously also startled Laura. Embarrassment flashed across the girl's face, but she immediately forced out a smile, "Uh, haha. I have a friend here, and we will go together, so we made an appointment at Here it is.”
"Oh, really." Sissi smiled with a smile on her face, and gave a polite salute to Zach, who was obviously the owner of the funeral home, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend by what I just said, it's just my first time here, it's a bit remote. I've been looking for it for a long time." That impeccable smile was probably the weapon obtained by the Patton elders yesterday afternoon.
Zach tilted his mouth and turned his head, not wanting to look or respond.
"Uh, this is Mr. Grande, Sissy Yesil." Laura winked at Zach, "I, um, Reiput's new classmate. Sissy, this is Mr. Grande." Probably. He is asking Zach to cooperate, but he must not reveal a bunch of things that the two of them just talked about on the back porch, "My friend is Mr. Grand's sister, Alice, wait a minute, I'll call her!"
Seeing that Zach was too lazy to respond, Laura stopped asking for Zach's permission, turned around and ran to the kitchen to find Alice.
"How much did you hear?" Zach was very direct as soon as Laura disappeared into the back porch.
"All of them." The smile on Sissi's face also disappeared.
"I thought I had warned you not to approach Grande quietly." Still direct.
"Don't be too sentimental." Sissi was also very direct, "I want to hear Laura's true feelings about me, and I don't want to interrupt. Do you think I like that the place where we meet is your home, Toledo."
Then go straight to the end!
"But judging from the way you appeared, you still seem to be unconscious. Now that you know that Laura thinks you are a bother, why don't you just back away?"
In this conversation that was stuck in the gap between Laura and Laura, both parties spoke very quickly, "The elders of the Barton family have not expressed their opinions, so who are you?"
Zach looked at Sissi, looked at her from top to bottom, and suddenly changed the topic, "Is there any contact with Nu Tao at Sibella?"
Sissi frowned and couldn't follow Zach's train of thought, but she still tilted her head and said, "Contacted, huh, you Grande is of no use after all."
Zach actually nodded, stopped talking, and waited for Laura.
Do you know what Zach is doing? The character of Saint Sissi is just like this. If I don't say it, I can easily say, "She is just like this". She is self-righteous and has no self-awareness. But if he was so confident at this moment, Zach was curious. Does this guy think he is stable enough in Barton
Then she's asking for it—
"This is Alice." Laura pulled the somewhat nervous Alice to the back porch. Alice, who had just been washing dishes leisurely, still had foam on her arms, "Sissi, Alice. Alice, Sissi." "Laura winked, hoping this introduction was friendly.
It was indeed friendly. There was a smile on Sissi's face again, and she extended her hand politely, "Sissi Yesil, nice to meet you, Alice..."
"Lola." Zach suddenly said, pointing to Sissi's feet, "Look at Sissi's shoes."
"What?" Of course Laura didn't know what Zach was going to do, but she still looked over, "What are you looking at?"
Nothing, clean shoe tops, shoe boots, nothing to see on the damp and not-so-clean floor of Grande's back porch...
Laura’s face froze.
Because Sissi's body is shorter.
Yes, now, with everyone on the back porch staring at her feet, this saint, the saint who once expressed in Grande that she didn't want to walk with dirty shoes, landed!
Sissi's face instantly elongated and she stared at Zach, "Toledo!"
"Sissy." Zach shrugged, shouted back, and then spread his hands towards Laura, whose expression was still frozen, "Laura, do you see clearly?"
Laura reproduced Eve's actions when using magic. She raised her hand, covered her open mouth, and stared at the gloomy Sissi in disbelief, "You... you... I... I..."
"I was just going to tell you." Zach waved his hands indifferently, "Your classmate Sissy Yesil is not an ordinary person..." Zach held Alice's hand without being noticed. He gently pulled back to signal her not to be nervous. Because Alice was probably influenced by instinct, there was already a red light flashing between her fingers to protect Laura.
"And Sissi has known our Grande for a long time." Zach tilted his head, "In fact, Grande helped her settle down in Barton, and she recently asked Grande to help a friend of hers. Oh, don’t mention that, it’s not a big deal for those of us who are a bit special to help each other.”
Zach put on a look that he didn't quite understand, "I just don't understand. Why, Sissi, did you just hide your acquaintance with Grande from Laura?"
Laura was reminded, her hand covering her mouth was released, and her expression began to change.
Sissi also changed with it, but hers became worse. Please understand that the key to the situation at this time is not only that Laura was shamelessly reminded by Zach to notice Sissi's own specialness, but also that Zach's words were explaining a fact that Sissi couldn't understand - Laura knew that Grande The secret!
Why did Grande reveal her true makeup to a teenage girl? ? Why? Let Sissi be left alone!
"Do you have any special purpose for Laura?" What is Zach doing? Taking advantage of the other party's confused thinking and no time to react, he shamelessly created an 'impression' and added insult to injury, "Okay, I can probably imagine that you are going to school in Repte to make friends, but to really make friends you should Let's be honest with each other like this, right, Laura, Alice. You see, Alice didn't go to school and made Laura as a friend, right? Sissy, you can't do this. Use deception to get close to others from the beginning. , it won’t leave a good impression.”
As soon as Zach finished speaking, Sissi grew taller. Now, everyone knew that there was still some distance between her feet and the ground.
Then the saint turned, one step, two steps... off the Grand's back porch. He took one last look at Laura, who had a strange expression, and said, "See you at school tomorrow." before disappearing.
"Alice, do you want to go to school? Go to Raptor." Zach looked at his sister.
Alice held Laura's hand tightly, and the two girls looked at each other, "Yes!" (.)
