Evetrona's old stories

"Ugly is not the goal, but being unobtrusive is the goal." Baililin said, "If you are too beautiful, it will not only cause a very strong deterrent to the same sex around you, but also provoke the opposite sex's desire to attack. As long as you have If there is a slight flaw, you may face the risk of being besieged and eaten."

"is it so serious?"

"It's very serious. It's so serious that you can't bear it even if it happens just once. If you don't know who you will offend for the time being, then be an ordinary person first, be an inconspicuous person, but you must also pay attention to principles, neither humble nor arrogant, and show your cards at the most appropriate time."

"Hearing you say that, it's more like disguise."

"It's understandable. Through makeup and disguise, and changing your voice, you can hide yourself in the dark. Occupation, age, body shape, and even gender can be adjusted and changed. I really want to teach you this, but can you Learning depends on you, because it is difficult for the height of a work to exceed the height of its author's thinking. A good artist needs to have a broad aesthetic, so the first thing you need to do is to have a clear and unmistakable understanding of the mainstream aesthetics of today's era. know."

"Then what should I do?"

"Look more, observe more, this thing depends on talent, don't rush, do you want to learn?"

"Of course, when are you going to teach me?"

Baililin thought for a while, and replied: "It will take a while until your swordsmanship improves."

With her promise, Eve left contentedly.After leaving the garrison, she rushed towards Sha Lan's house.But when they arrived at Sha Lan's house, the other party began to look at Eve's face carefully as soon as they met.

Sha Lan asked, "Didn't you make this yourself?"

"Of course not, my master helped to make it."

"Master?"

"My fencing master."

"Female master?" After getting an affirmative answer, Sha Lan praised: "Her level is not bad. From the effect point of view, it seems ordinary, but it includes a variety of skills and is very professional."

"She also praised your makeup yesterday."

"Really? Then you come to my place some other day, and I'll show her my real level. The last time can only be regarded as a warm-up."

Eve didn't realize at this time that Shalan and Baililin had already begun to compete.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet? Today is dried fruit pound cake." Only then did Sha Lan realize that Eve was still standing at the door, and she quickly pulled him into the room.

"How do I eat like this?" Eve pointed to her lipsticked lips.

"It's simple, I'll wipe it off for you first, and I'll make it up later."

Pound cakes cut into slices look like toast. In fact, the baking tins (molds) of the two are indeed very similar, and they can even be used in common.The taste of the cake is completely different from that of ordinary cakes, because the egg whites are not whipped, but mixed with ingredients such as flour, cream and sugar, so the taste is hard and the texture is thick.Dried raspberries, dried blueberries, almonds, walnuts and other dried fruits and dried fruits are added to the cake, mixed with the fragrance of unsalted butter, giving people an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

Eve has been eating and drinking at Shalan's place, but it is difficult to do anything for her. At most, she will let Forward deal with the fish she caught and send them to her as Baflo's rations.She still remembered that when she brought the fish over for the first time, Bafloo circled around a big lively herring in the bucket, with nowhere to bite, which made the two of them laugh for a long time.

A few days later, when Baililin saw the makeup Shalan put on for Eve for the second time, her reaction was not as indifferent as last time.That is, this time, it became the signal to start the war between them, and the battlefield was naturally Eve's face.

Not all makeup looks are suitable for Eve.She is a student, and she is still wearing a uniform. What kind of makeup can fit her identity, which also tests the comprehensive strength of the makeup artist.Shalan and Baililin are very sophisticated, and the limitations of the conditions will not stifle their imagination, but can stimulate their endless creative inspiration.

For nearly three weeks, Eve had been circling around the two women.The two sides met their opponents and played equally; the two also formed a tacit understanding from it, and each was only responsible for one day, so this contest was always back and forth, back and forth.Although the client complained a lot, she really admired the two of them; their makeup techniques and the final effect really opened her eyes and benefited her a lot.But in the eyes of outsiders, especially her classmates, it’s a different feeling—since these two usually aim to show each other their skills, the finished product is usually ingenious and clumsy, and only Eve who has participated in the whole process can see clearly, and what those students see is Eve who looks different every day, and they can’t even be sure whether she wore makeup that day.

In order to get rid of the pain as soon as possible, Eve would go downstairs and sit in the sun while reading a book, so that the black marks on her face would disappear quickly.

This afternoon, Baililin was removing her makeup.

"This is a technique of stage makeup." Baililin explained while wiping Eve's face with a handkerchief, "She hid a few luminescent lines under the makeup to reduce the ambient light and increase the details of the dark side. The pattern printing is obviously improved, which can minimize the abruptness caused by self-illumination, and some compound powders are mixed in the base powder to increase the scattering angle and reduce the The texture produced by light transmission... I have to say, I admire her level of tattoo design. Tomorrow we must think of a way, and she will be shocked."

"Master Baililin..." Eve hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"All the marks on my face have disappeared."

"This is the last time, you bear with it for another day."

"That's what you said the day before yesterday."

"But didn't you refuse at her place yesterday?"

Eve felt that it was better not to explain this to Baililin.Yesterday at Shalan's side, Eve had just finished his breakfast, and the other party asked again, what else could he say to refuse?

"Okay, look at your unhappy look." Baililin nodded her nose, "However, it's time for me to meet this woman named Sha Lan."

"You two compete all day, you won't fight when you meet, right?" Eve was a little worried.

"Is she good at swordsmanship?" Baililin asked.

"I don't know, she didn't mention it to me, but it seems that she is not good at it."

"Then what are you worried about?"

So, Eve mentioned this matter to Sha Lan.They decided to meet one weekend afternoon, at Sarah's house.

The meeting was much more harmonious than Eve had imagined. The two smiled and hugged each other as soon as they met, as if they were sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years. Eve stood beside them dumbfounded, feeling that she had been deceived.

"It's really enjoyable." Sha Lan said excitedly, "I've never met someone as talented as you."

"You're not bad, good ideas come out endlessly, the key is that you can manage them." Baililin had a faint smile on her face, seemingly calm, but Eve could see that she was actually very happy.

Eve sat on the sofa with them, ate snacks and tea, listened to them count their respective works over the past few weeks, made comments, and exchanged skills, and the afternoon passed like this.

On the other hand, the relationship between Eve and Xilinya still did not improve until Mara came to the door.She lived in the same apartment as Xilinya, and she was the closest to Xilinya in the Knights' Academy.Mara is a girl who is not very eye-catching in appearance and personality. She listens to Xilinya most on weekdays and is blind in her work. Therefore, since Eve and Xilinya fell out, she has never looked for Eve in the future. Or Elvira, this is the first time.

Mara was a little worried. After seeing Eve, she first bowed and said, "The fault of that day was all Syrinya's fault. Although I am her friend, I also admit that when you called Eve She's not too bad at all."

"Don't mention what happened that day, is she going to apologize to me?" Eve asked expressionlessly.

Mara was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "She...not yet, I can't persuade her."

Eve sighed and said, "You came to me because you wanted me to shake hands with her and make peace. If she can apologize properly, then I can think about it. After all, I really can't understand some of her actions. ——This is not the first time, maybe there will be in the future. I used to wonder if she had any prejudice against me, so I thought about using actions to influence her. Now that I think about it, it’s really worthless.”

Mara stood there, listening to Eve's complaints, her eyes were a little red.

"Of course, I can't blame you for this matter." Seeing her appearance, Eve couldn't continue, "But the problem with Xilinya is not my problem, so I can't help you much."

In fact, Eve has also secretly observed Xilinya's recent situation - the other party has become a little taciturn after the incident, and even the former friends no longer have contact with her. Usually only Mara is with her, she looks very pitiful .Eve felt that she might have realized her mistake a long time ago, but why didn't she come to her all this time? Could it be that she just couldn't bear it?

Mara just kept her head down, biting her lip.Eve couldn't bear to see her like this, and was about to compromise, but the other party took out a few crumpled papers from her pocket at this moment.

"This is something Xilinya threw into the trash before, and I secretly put it away."

Eve took the papers, "What is this?"

Mara didn't answer, but just gave Eve a complicated look, and then left on her own.

Eve closed the door and looked at the papers as she walked. The dandelions rubbed against her feet, making hair all over her socks.

After reading for a long time, Eve realized that it was a letter from home, written by Comino to his daughter.The letter was not handwritten, but typed on a typewriter. The letters on it were dark and shallow. It was hard to imagine that a father still used a typewriter to write a letter to his daughter.

It is immoral to read someone's mail without permission, but it is not illegal under Kriging's laws.Moreover, Eve is not malicious subjectively, and Mara presumably is the same.

Judging from the content and tone of the letter, Eve couldn't imagine that these harsh and harsh words came from Komino's mouth.In Eve's eyes, Comino is a long-winded and clumsy man. When he is in front of Eve's eyes, he always puffs out his somewhat sexy beer belly, and either talks about his parents or jokes that are not funny at all.Eve has never even seen his cold face, but from the letter he wrote, Eve saw a cold father. Look at what he wrote—"Either come back from school, or marry a wife", "I have my reasons for doing things, and your elder brother is extremely stupid. If you want to speak for him, then you should be like him. Don't step into the house again", "It's for your own good to have a good relationship with Eve. Do you want to be kicked out like your elder brother?"... This is obviously A reply letter, perhaps dictated by him in the office, was almost entirely a threat to his daughter, and Eve felt chills when he read it.

She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person is Comino? He always has the same attitude towards his daughter, so why does he take such good care of himself?

Is it all an illusion?Not necessarily.

In the letter, Comino compared his daughter with Eve many times, with a bad attitude and bad words, almost calling her stupid in person.Eve didn't know what kind of role a father should be in the eyes of a big businessman like Comino, but she felt that this kind of monotonous majesty should not be pressed on a girl who should be at a carefree age.

No wonder Xilinya held a grudge against herself so much. It turned out that the problem was her father.In the letter, Comino also mentioned many times that his eldest son was used as a negative teaching material to threaten Xilinya, and there may be a deeper inside story.

Eve crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash can, feeling a little sad for Xilinya.Eve thought to herself, if she had such a father, she might have run away from home long ago, but Xilinya is not Eve, she is just a girl who has just given birth, she has never been hungry, suffered, or survived Ability, without support, there is no way to live.

Thinking of this, Eve couldn't hold it any longer, so she decided to go to Xilinya and forgive her whether she apologized or not.At the same time, she also wrote a letter to Comino, without mentioning what Xilinya had done to her, but only praised Xilinya and reminded him to be better to her daughter.Eve didn't know if she had some weight in Comino's eyes, but it was better to write than not to write. She only hoped that her words would ease the relationship between the father and daughter and she would suffer less.

When Eve appeared in front of Xilinya, the other party's first reaction was to run away, which surprised Eve, but she reacted quickly, and Xilinya grabbed her wrist before running a few steps.

Seeing that she couldn't break free, Xilinya suddenly burst into tears. The two of them were standing at the stairs on the first floor of the apartment. The crying echoed in the corridor, and soon attracted many students to watch, and even the apartment manager walked out of the room.

Seeing her crying so much, Eve also had a headache. Under the eyes of everyone, she seemed to be a human trafficker at this moment.

She is very glad that she is a woman now, if it is a man, then the problem will be big.

"What's the matter, are you two having conflicts again?" The apartment manager stepped forward to ask, her tone was unusually gentle.

Xilinya just kept crying and didn't talk to her, while Eve didn't know how to answer, she just smiled wryly at the chubby-cheeked auntie in front of her.

"You bullied her?" When facing Eve, the administrator's tone returned to his usual seriousness.

"I... am I right?" Eve was also a little unsure whether she was bullying the other party.

"What's going on?" The administrator was a little unhappy seeing her specious appearance.

"This matter may be a bit complicated, why don't I explain it to you alone later?"

"We're fine..." It was Xilinya who spoke, she cried and shook her head at the administrator, "She didn't bully me, it's because... because I suddenly remembered something sad, so..."

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying again, it seemed that there were too many people watching, she might feel a little ashamed, so she put her head in Eve's arms again, and burst into tears, Eve I felt my chest throbbing.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the administrator waved away the onlookers and returned to the room himself.

Eve's height is a little shorter than Xilinya's, but fortunately she is strong, even if the opponent's entire body is stuck to her chest, she can easily catch her.

Xilinya cried for a while, and finally stopped. The two of them also knew about the matter, looked at each other, and then became friends again.

Xilinya did not apologize to her after all, and Eve felt a little regretful about it.

[66] Harvest, competition, and festivals (Part [-])

The 30-year-old teacher of first-grade pharmacology and medicine in the training center is named Hakfudo. He has a pair of large round-frame glasses, which are only hung on the bridge of his nose when he is in class; His hair hangs down to his eyebrows; he usually comes to class in a gray striped double-breasted dress, and if he doesn't speak, he gives people the impression of being gentle and elegant.

But in fact, Huckford's temper is notoriously hot in the Knight Academy, and he gossips a lot in class, and his voice is loud, and when he speaks, the momentum can be as strong as ten choirs.Fortunately, his character is outstanding, his integrity, coupled with his handsome and masculine appearance, the students generally have a good impression of him.

In class, Huckford often talks about some controversial topics, and therefore, it is inevitable that he will be surprised by his extraordinary insights.If at this time, there happened to be other older teachers sitting in the classroom, they would probably not be able to resist reporting to the higher-ups after class, saying that he was carrying private goods, teaching crooked principles, or more seriously, that he was misleading the students and having bad intentions.But no matter what others say, Harkovdo has always been doing his own way, and he has taught in the Knight Academy for three years, but he has not made any major mistakes.

"The first aid techniques are roughly like this. Wait for next week... No, I mean, after the holiday is over, I will lead you to a live drill and point out some precautions." Huck Fudo straightened his bow tie, then put his hands on the table, and looked at the students sitting in the lecture hall.

"He's about to start again." Eve glanced at the pocket watch on the table and sighed. It was less than a quarter of an hour before get out of class ended.

With a slap, a ball of paper hit Eve on the forehead. She looked up at the front row and met Lin Xin's eyes. Eve shook the paper ball in her hand, and Lin Xin pointed to Dicken who was lying on the table next to her.

On the ball of paper was written: "Will you go back for Shengming Festival?"

On the podium, Hakfudo said: "In addition to the first aid itself, I also want to talk to you about another issue, that is, the risk of saving lives. The original intention of this course in the training center is to let you know when your teammates are in danger. , learn how to save the lives of your partners as much as possible, but now you rarely have the opportunity to go out on missions, and the most common rescue objects you may encounter in the future are strangers you happen to meet in your life. In the past, when the knights of Shengfengyue encountered such a situation, they were obliged to rescue them, whether it was from the doctrine of metaphor or the code of chivalry; Think for yourself. You may have heard about the situation of the rescued being blackmailed, but I don’t want to talk about it today, because this kind of topic has been talked about enough. What I want to talk about is the difference between men and women, that is, men and women The difference in survival rate when they are used as rescue targets. The survival rate is reflected in two aspects, one is whether the rescued received timely rescue, and the other is whether the rescued received effective rescue and survived..."

Eve paid attention to the gaze of Huckford on the stage, and when she noticed that he was not looking at her, she stood up slightly, and slammed the ball of paper in her hand on the head of Digan who was sitting in the front two rows , at this time the other party was lying on the table, and the ball of paper hit the back of the head. It seemed that because the blow had no warning, the other party was frightened and shook his body violently.Most of the surrounding students saw Eve's actions, and couldn't help snickering. Lin Xin took the lead in picking up the ball of paper that fell on the ground, opened it, and read: "No".

Eve consciously acted in a concealed manner, but in the end Hakovo found out. The other party smiled at her and said, "Student Eve, I want to ask you a question using you as a reference—of course, you can also refuse to answer, because this question may be very unfriendly."

Eve sat up straight and nodded to him.

"If you faint at a party, you have to take off all your shirts to rescue you, otherwise your life will be in danger. In this case, there are only three people who are qualified to rescue you. Among them are a woman; a man in his 60s who looks a bit scruffy; and a young and handsome man. You can imagine him as me."

At this point, the students all laughed.

"Among the three of them, the oldest man has the highest success rate of rescue, followed by the young man, and then the woman. The timing of rescue is respectively—rescue on the spot, rescue after everyone evades, and rescue after being sent to another empty room. What I want to ask is, among the permutations and combinations of rescuers and rescue timing, which rescue method do you expect yourself more?

Eve did understand his question, but at the moment her mind was completely muddled.

She naturally knows which one has the highest probability of being rescued, but as a woman, she has to consider another issue, that is, the issue of innocence as a woman.This is not a question that has a perfect answer.

"Older man, rescue him on the spot." Eve replied after thinking twice.

There was a moment of silence in the lecture hall, and then there were buzzing discussions.

"Ha, this is the most surprising answer I've heard this year, but I'm also very happy. Student Eve is a person who can cherish life." Huck Fu's voice suppressed the discussion of everyone, "But Now there's a problem - in fact, this old gentleman doesn't want to save you, he's a family man, he doesn't want to get himself into trouble."

Eve was taken aback for a moment, then covered her forehead and laughed.Scattered laughter and applause followed.

"Look, this is the problem you may face in the future." Hakfudo said, "The Logos Second Academy once conducted a survey that was not comprehensive. The survey results showed that at the scene of various sudden diseases, young people The treatment rate of women is the lowest among all kinds of groups. The problem is reflected in two aspects: first, the willingness of those with rescue qualifications to rescue is low, and the reasons for this are needless to say; The fact that fewer women are still less educated than men and can master first aid is also something to be taken seriously."

There was another discussion in the audience.

"The first point is that if you realize that there is a greater risk in saving someone, then the rescuer has to weigh whether other people's lives are more important or your own reputation is more important." Hakfudo's voice increased again. Suppressing the discussion in the classroom: "It is a rare thing to be willing to give, especially if this kind of dedication may not be recognized. As my students, from my point of view, I hope you You can put saving people first, even if you are criticized by others afterwards, then you have made the right choice. You have done a good thing, but in the end someone condemned you loudly, but no one came out to support you. This does not mean that the condemner The practice is supported by the public. Because most people will actively stand up, oppose and refute only when their interests are violated, and those supporters will tend to be wise and protect themselves even if they agree with the rescuer’s practice. , Maintaining neutrality is understandable, and it is also human nature. Therefore, what I—and what we can do is to stand up before others, speak out for the rescuers, and do our best for a better moral environment in this society in the future. A force."

"Did he dare to save his wife from the man's gaze at the engagement banquet? Who dares to speak for him? It really doesn't hurt to stand up and talk." Di Geng lay on the table, muttering in a low voice.

"Let's talk about the second point. Where did modern women's conservative awareness of the body come from? Is it the primitive society? Or when the patriarchal society was born? Or was it the feudal society? It was used to deprive women of their status and appeared as a measure of value Why is it still recognized by some modern women and even regarded as a standard? Is the so-called chastity really more important than life?"

As she was speaking, Eve suddenly heard a heavy coughing sound from behind, which interrupted Harkovdo's almost ecstatic speech.Eve turned her head and saw a bald man sitting in the last row of the lecture hall. The man's appearance could be described by Huckford just now—a dirty old man.It seems that this is also a prototype.

"Under the monogamous or even dual marriage system, women's sense of chastity is indeed used as a means of oppression, but in today's monogamous system, the advantages of conservative awareness outweigh the disadvantages, and the woman can benefit from it. After all, the woman can clearly know that the fetus in the womb is her own child, but the man cannot. At this time, the only criterion for judging is the woman's behavior. Raise two children together. Of course, this is just a normal situation. If life is threatened, I think it’s better to put some things aside temporarily. After all, the purpose of morality is to make everyone live better..." After Hakov noticed this person more, the trend of his views seemed to be different from before.

This is always the case with young faculty members who like to instill their ideas in the classroom.Perhaps their intentions are good, but if the listeners are not good at thinking and distinguishing for themselves, what may be cultivated in the end is a group of blind radicals who are eager to pursue justice and equality, but in the end they mess everything up .The bald old man lowered his head, thinking about how to respond to the matter to the higher-ups.

But the students just like to hear it.Controversial topics, bloggers' attention-grabbing views, out-of-the-ordinary assertions, they are interested in anything new.What young people like and are best at is to break the authority and bring forth the new.

But in terms of actual age, Eve is not young anymore.

"Okay, the university class is more like a debate. If you have any questions or objections, you can raise them now and let's discuss them together."

At this time, the students did have a lot of questions that needed to be explained by Harkovdo, so when he finished speaking, many students raised their hands.Eve looked at the pocket watch that had already passed the end of get out of class time, feeling secretly anxious.This morning, someone from the college sent me a letter, telling me to go back as early as possible after class in the afternoon, and that Ms. Sickbelin had something important to discuss with me.Because of what happened last time, after Eve heard that she was looking for her, she was extremely disturbed, wondering if she had made any mistakes recently.

Could it be that Xilinya sued her again?The class was delayed for a long time, and she began to think wildly.

Seeing that 5 minutes passed and 10 minutes passed, and the students seemed to be asking questions continuously, Eve gritted her teeth and raised her hands like everyone else.
