Evetrona's old stories

Eve looked at the back of him leaving, feeling helpless in her heart.

Di Geng just went out, but turned back, and this time he came back to find Forward.

"Boss, come out and pay the bill." He shouted towards the kitchen.

Forward responded, wiped his hands with his apron, walked to the front of the counter, and asked Dicken in surprise, "What kind of bill?"

Di Geng pointed in the direction of Eve.

"Oh, that's not necessary, she always comes to me to eat the overlord's meal."

Di Geng stared, looked at the girl sitting by the window, and then at the boss in front of him, feeling suddenly at a loss.

Eve looked at him and burst out laughing.

[76] Gathering and Scattering (Part [-])

Originally, Di Geng thought that this was the end of the matter, but Eve didn't plan to expose it. He could feel that she really hoped that she could stay in the Knight Academy.For two days he lay in bed in the apartment, almost dizzy, and spent the second half of the holiday doing almost nothing.During this period, many people came to ask him about Eve, some came to inquire and confirm, and some came to criticize and find fault. He simply denied it and told them that there was no such thing and that he had nothing to do with Eve.So these people came excitedly and left in a daze.

Only Lin Xin knew the whole story, and Di Geng told him almost everything.Lin Xin did not express any opinion on this, but, like Eve, felt sorry for his decision to leave the Knight Academy.

In the early morning of the first day after the holiday, there was a knock on the door of Di Geng and Lin Xin's apartment. The sound was so urgent that Lin Xin got up to open the door without even having time to put on his shoes.

"Hey, wake Di Geng up, Eve is waiting for him downstairs!" The name of the visitor was Smil, a student from the third group, and a native of Xinleige Province.Seeing his anxious appearance, Lin Xin hurried to Dicken's room, followed by Smir.Di Geng didn't have the habit of locking the door, so the two of them started grabbing his shoulders and shaking them when they entered the door. Seeing that he was still dawdling, they dragged him off the bed.

"Hurry up, Eve is still waiting for you downstairs." Smil said to Di Geng.Di Geng was still sleepy at first, but when he heard Eve's name, he immediately woke up, grabbed the uniform from Lin Xin's hand, and began to put it on indiscriminately.

"Didn't you say that the two of you are not dating?" Smir asked, "But how do I hear Eve, you two seem to be having fun?"

"I don't know, don't ask me." Di Geng stuffed the toothbrush into his mouth while getting dressed.

"How do you think she can fall in love with you?" Smir was still chattering on the sidelines, "Do the little girls nowadays like older ones? Is this Electra complex?"

"Fuck you." Di Geng kicked him, "If you can't speak, don't speak."

After tidying up, Di Geng ran downstairs immediately. Eve was standing in front of a fence with flowers and plants at the door.She was wearing a training school uniform today, and Di Geng liked to see her in this black uniform, and thought it looked better than wearing a college skirt.Wearing this originally dignified uniform on her body, her face is so delicate and pretty—who made her look so small.

At this time, some people surrounded the door, and the windows of the apartment building opened one after another, and many people were looking around.

"Why did you come here?" Di corrected his collar and walked in front of her.

"You can't be lazy in the future." Eve said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"From now on, you have to train with me every morning, and remember to go to bed early in the future."

"What's the matter with you?" Di Geng looked around helplessly, "There's still one and a half months left, and I'm about to bid farewell to this place. Is there any point in doing this?"

"Just be with me, don't you want to spend more time with me?" Eve half-joked.

"No, I feel bad when I see you now." Di Geng replied.

"Okay, let's go, so many people are watching, don't embarrass me." Eve said, and wanted to pull his arm, but Di Geng avoided it.

"Okay, don't move your hands." Di Geng said, "I'll just go with you."

The two left the apartment building in full view.

"Where are we going now?" Deacon asked as he walked.

"Training ground, practice sparring with me." Eve replied.

"Now? You haven't even eaten breakfast now. Is this why you woke me up early in the morning?"

"Eat after practice." Eve said, "I usually do this."

"Well, just today, don't come to me tomorrow."

Eve doesn't know what to do to restore a friendship that is about to end, especially when this friendship has become impure, is it doomed to do nothing to make it up?For Di Geng, this is a relationship that is doomed to fail to achieve positive results. When love is downgraded to friendship again, can he overcome the frustration and shame in his heart and reconcile with Eve?

Both of them are not good at dealing with others, and the only thing Eve can rely on now is the sincerity to others that she has learned from Nanfen after coming to this world.

In the twilight of the morning, the sound of swords colliding with each other can be heard from time to time in the training ground. When a person can concentrate on doing one thing, his heart will also become calm.The process of sparring is also a process of communication.Language expression is not the only way for human beings to communicate, but after the birth of language, people are gradually forgetting the innate understanding between them. People's dependence on language makes them mistakenly think that language is the most effective way of expression.

"Hey, Eve, that woman has taught you a lot. Why do I feel so strenuous practicing against you now?" Unknowingly, Di Geng's mood was no longer so dull.

"Baililin only taught me the swift sword skills, but never the two-handed sword skills." Eve said, "It's not that I have improved, but you have regressed. You have always been in a bad mood, which will definitely affect your movements."

"But it's true that you've improved. Don't be so humble all the time. It's too irritating." After several duels, Di Geng was sweating. on the sand.Eve walked up to him and sat down beside him.

"Maybe I really lack exercise." Di Geng said, "I haven't learned much since I came here, but I have learned a lot of ways to be lazy."

"Lazy is also a skill." Eve responded.

The two sat on the ground, chatting with each other sentence by sentence.Seeing that the number of people on the training ground gradually increased, Di Geng asked her: "Do you want to practice for a while? When are we going to eat?"

"Just now." Eve stood up, stretched out her hand and pulled Di Geng up from the ground.The fingers of the two intertwined. It was only then that Di Geng paid attention to Eve's behavior at this time. Although they were both wearing practice gloves, the feeling from their hands still made him feel a little itchy.

I don't know when, since then, stalking has become Eve's usual method. It was like this when dealing with Xilinya before, and it is the same when dealing with Di Geng now.When she had morning training every day, she would call Di Geng up by the way. Although he didn't want to get up, his friends were happy to accept Eve's entrustment, and woke him up regularly every day, so as not to drag him out of bed Swear not to give up.

As time passed, the relationship between the two became closer than before.Eve thought it was friendship, but Dicken's admiration for her had never been shelved, and that kind of inexplicable feeling seemed to surround him all the time.In any case, things are always developing in the direction Eve expected, and Di Geng has resumed his attitude towards Eve that night, sometimes teasing Eve as before.

"You said—" he complained to Eve once: "You don't want to associate with me, but you always stay by my side. Now everyone else believes in our relationship, but what does it mean to me?"

"It's much better than I promised you that night, but I regretted it afterwards. In fact, neither of us has lost in this regard. Are you afraid that this misunderstanding will affect my innocence, or are you afraid that no one will want you in the future?"

"It's not the old society now, so that's not the case."

"So, although the borrowed horse is not your own, you can still ride it out to show off to others. The reason is the same. In this matter, I retain my reputation, and you also satisfy your vanity."

"It sounds reasonable, but why does your metaphor sound so weird." Di Geng looked at Eve strangely.

"What are you thinking?" Eve pushed him, her expression not very good.

"I thought you didn't know anything about this." Di Geng was really surprised at this moment, "So you know everything."

"Okay, you always said these unnutritious things before, didn't you just want to see my reaction? I can understand everything, but it's tiring to pretend to be stupid, so don't say it in the future."

"You actually—" Hearing what she said, Di Geng blushed, hesitated and couldn't speak.But in his heart, knowing a little secret of the girl, Di Geng couldn't help being a little happy.

The winter vacation in November is coming, one and a half months is not long or short, and many things happened during this period.

Huckford, who taught medicine and pharmacology, was suspended by the training center after the festival. The students wrote a joint letter and fished him out again; Eve handed the letter to the principal of the training center, and made a joke—when she was facing the principal of the knight training center, she was suddenly stupid on the spot. She didn't know whether to call him the principal or the director.Fortunately, the other party was not unhappy because of this, on the contrary, he thought her child was quite interesting.

Comino also wrote back to her, at the end of October, more than one and a half months since the letter was written.After reading the letter, Eve found out that Comino is now in the Eastern City, and Eve's letter was forwarded from Bomeng, so it took a long time.This letter is more trustworthy than writing to her daughter. It can be seen that he wrote it himself, and it is still written in squiggles with exaggerated fonts. Not only is it difficult to read, but it is also terribly ugly.Comino succinctly introduced some of himself and Maoqi's recent situation in the Eastern City - after hearing the previous report, the Logos Institute decided to start to rectify the banking industry and armed merchant ships in the Eastern City - these things seem to have never been mentioned by Maoqi himself in the letter to Nanfen.Comino's letter was long and not very nutritious. In short, he was still the same as before. When facing Eve, he always complained and complained, saying that he was too busy now and had too much to do.In addition, he also invited Eve to be a guest in his mansion in Bomeng, saying that he would go back in winter, and asked her to honor her presence—very politely.But he didn't mention anything about his daughter Xilinya.

When the holidays approached, the students began to spontaneously organize different dinner parties, large and small. In this era, dinner parties are the most important form of social entertainment for the public.As one of the most popular freshmen, Eve has received quite a few invitations, but even if she likes food, such an intense dinner party still makes her feel miserable in the end. In order to avoid taking up too much time, she can only participate in some selectively.

In the circle of students in Si Raiq province and even Bomeng, several dinners were organized, sometimes in the school, sometimes in taverns in nearby towns.

One night, Long Ke ran to Di Geng's side for a party and drinking.

"You want to invite Eve, so why come to me?" Di asked the young man in front of him.

"Who doesn't know your relationship with her now." Longke was still so talkative, "Our freshmen here in Bomeng want to get together for a drink, and you definitely want to come. If she is willing to be with you, that would be great."

"I'm not sure I'll be able to please her."

"She is so attached to you every day, she is definitely willing to come." Long Ke said, "My words have been brought, and the rest is up to you."

After the young man left, Di Geng and Lin Xin looked at each other in blank dismay.

Di Geng suddenly laughed, shook his head and said to Lin Xin: "She is not clinging to me. I have been tortured by her these days. Lin Xin, do you think I have lost weight recently?"

"It seems to be a little thinner." Lin Xin said, "But it looks more energetic."

The party was held in a tavern at the foot of the mountain. Most of the students who came here were wealthy, and they could rent out a whole room for a little money.On that day, Di Geng and Lin Xin came earlier, and the four of Longke, Enpeite, Becklin, and Gelaidi almost always went in and out together, so they were all present. Although Smil was not from Bomen, he was also considered a close neighbor, so he also came to play a game today.There were about 30 people who signed up. Since the main drink was tonight, all the people who came except Eve were men.

At this time, it was still early and people had not yet arrived, so those who arrived first began to chat, and Di Geng and the others gathered around a corner to play cards.

"Di Gen, have you been under a lot of pressure recently?" Smil asked suddenly.

"What pressure can I have?" Di Geng was a little puzzled.

"I always feel that you have become a lot more honest since you dated Eve." Smil always seemed to be worried about the two people being together, "I thought that with your temperament, no one could control you, but I didn't expect—" He looked at Dicken and didn't continue, but the meaning in his words was very clear.

"Yes, you're right, Eve is excellent, and I don't think I'm good enough for her." Di Geng said while counting cards, "That's why I recently felt that the two of us are actually not suitable, and it's almost time to end."

Everyone present was stunned.

"You plan to...break up with her?" Enpete asked him tentatively.

"No, how dare I, I'm waiting for her to dump me." Saying that, Di Geng threw out a card.

"Is it that painful?" Long Ke said, "When two people get along, one party will indeed be in a strong position. It doesn't have to be the man. There is nothing shameful about a man giving way to a woman."

"More than that." Smir joked with a smile: "Based on Eve's strength, Di Geng seems to be eating soft food now."

Everyone laughed awkwardly. Considering that the person involved was at the side, although they thought what Smil said was funny, they didn't dare to show it too presumptuously.

Just as he was talking, the noise in the room suddenly became much quieter. When Di Geng turned his head, he saw Eve walking into the room in a dark gray windbreaker.She smiled slightly at Di Geng and the others, and then hung the beige knitted hat on the coat rack.

"I heard that you are here to drink today." Eve's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it, "I wonder if any of you can drink better than me."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for an instant.

[77] Gathering and Scattering (Part [-])

Most people always overestimate how much they drink, so that every binge is anticlimactic.

In a daze, Di Geng looked at the face of the girl in front of him, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Eve, why did I fall asleep?" He raised his head and felt his mouth dry like smoke, "Where are we now?"

"You're drunk." Eve rubbed her temples, not only Dicken, she also drank a little too much tonight.

Di Geng blinked his dry eyes and looked around. Most of the students who came to the party were lying on the chairs and lying on the table at this time, and they obviously drank a lot.

"Can you go back tonight?" Eve poured herself a glass of water and stood by the window to rinse her mouth.It was November, and the nights were a bit cool.

"We won't go back tonight." A head emerged from the crowd, it was Long Ke, and he said, "Let Di Geng take you back first." After you are done, you are not allowed to run away, you have to come back and continue—drinking..."

"You underestimate me." Di Geng stood up unsteadily, went to get his coat, and was stopped by Eve.

"You don't need to send it, I borrowed a horse today, and I can go back soon."

"It seems that you have a plan." Di Geng laughed, found a nearby chair and sat down, and said: "Go back and be careful."

"I'm worried about you, you're all like this, can you still drink?"

"It's nothing, just get some sleep." Longke lay on the table and smiled feebly, "It was really a mistake to invite you here today. I will remember you this time..."

Just now, everyone followed the girl's movements and raised the wine glasses in their hands again and again. They drank one cup after another in the toasts she said, slowly getting themselves drunk.Drinking capacity is not obtained by clamoring. Only when most people are brought down can their level be seen at a glance.

After leaving the tavern, Eve rode a horse and walked slowly on the mountain road at night.The cool wind at the end of autumn blows the lush arbor forest of Mount Shengfeng, bringing a slight chill.Countless leaves sway and dance in the wind, roaring like sea waves.The lavender moon hangs above the spiers of the Shengfengyue castle building in the distance, and its face is covered by mottled gray clouds from time to time.People's hearts are settling down with the changes of the seasons, and the emotions of exuberance and joy gradually turn into a combination of depression and satisfaction, entrenched in the depths of people's hearts, like worry and joy.

At night, the gates of Benlong Castle are still wide open.Eve was still immersed in the feeling of slightly drunken pleasure, sitting on the horseback, walking and watching all the way.It seems that since coming to the Knights Academy, there have been fewer opportunities to be alone like this. She somewhat misses the free life in Boyun Manor, but it is not her own after all.

The most helpless and happiest thing for a person is to strive to grow under her eyes full of expectations.

As the holidays approached, Eve also set off on her way home with many students.Compared with the warmer climate in Ikerin Province, she misses the cold wind and snowy scenery in the winter of Bomen City more. After all, there is a room of her own there, a warm nest where she has lived for five years and hides many useless gadgets in it.She was sitting on the steam train looking at the bright fields speeding by outside the window, but what she thought about was the small wooden bed in the bedroom.That bed was next to the south window, and if it was raining or snowing, she would be wrapped in a soft quilt, wearing light-colored flannel pajamas, leaning on the pillow at the head of the bed, holding a book in her hand and staring out of the window in a daze, with a cup of hot tea or coffee in her hand, sometimes there would be cats barking or dogs scratching the door behind the door, or the sound of Minxi running barefoot on the floor.Only when you have been in a storm, you will understand how precious the comfort at that time is. If it is not for a better life, who would be willing to forge ahead?

It was completely different from the feeling when I entered the school at the end of February. Due to the coming of the holiday and the joy of returning home, most of the people were very excited, and there was always noise in the carriage.It seems that due to the impact of the narrow space in the car, the social distance has become closer than usual, and the behavior between girls has become more intimate and irrelevant, especially when Akanlu hugged her neck like a drunk and kissed her and laughed loudly. Eve finally realized that these people are now taking advantage of themselves openly by taking advantage of their female status.But Eve herself is very happy with this kind of behavior of hugging from left to right, but at the same time she feels a little embarrassed. She feels like an old emperor now, with more energy than energy.It's hard to say, whether Eve's impulse towards same-sex sex now acts on the psychological level or more on the physical level.

As the train moved towards the destination, many students got off the train halfway, and the train began to become deserted.It seemed that as the number decreased, the girls also regained their sanity, and they were finally able to sit down quietly, drink tea and chat.

Elvira plans to stay in the apartment until school starts next year. Fortunately, with Dandelion to accompany her, she won't be too lonely.Eve originally wanted to take her back to the manor, but Nanfen did not advise her to do so, which surprised Eve.The reason for Nanfen's refusal is also very simple and direct - because Avella is a child of a poor family.What Nanfen means is that for a poor friend, the truest kindness you can give her is sharing joys and sorrows, not charity.If a person’s greatest wish is to have a full meal, when he sees that the cat of a rich family can eat fish and meat, no matter how noble his character is, he still cannot prevent the negative emotions from growing in his heart—virtue is rich. A man's hat is the burden of the poor, the food of the good, the coat of the wicked, and the only wealth of the owner.If you give a hungry person a big meal that he can only enjoy once in his life, there are only two results, either he will savor it all his life, or he will suffer all his life.Nanfen's principles generally come from her natal family's ancestral precepts. She wrote a lot of principles in her letter, so Eve gave up the idea of ​​bringing Avril back to the manor.

Perhaps because of the rain, not too many people came to Yutong City to pick up the station.Eve didn't have much luggage, and only brought a small box, which contained a few small gifts that she didn't care about, and was ready to give away, including a book called "Calculus and Principles of Motion" that she didn't quite understand. ", the content in it not only includes differential and integral, but also a large section of complex mathematical model deduction that applies the laws of the continents and the sun and the moon deduced by this round of uniformity. She is going to give this gift to Minxi—of course, not The ones I showed her mostly consisted of pranks.

The train wobbled to a stop in the station, and the rain was a bit heavy, but there were still quite a few people gathered near the carriage door. They held umbrellas and called some familiar or unfamiliar names to Eve.She and several friends also parted ways and left the carriage.Akanlu hugged a tall man with similar appearance, that man was her elder brother; Xilinya was taken into a black troika by a servant, and drove very high-profile Leaving the station; Long Ke and his three partners ran out of the station at a gallop, and disappeared after a while, not knowing where they went.

Lin Xin and Dicken didn't come back on the same train as Eve, so I don't know if they were avoiding her on purpose.

As soon as she got off the ladder, a figure rushed over and threw herself into Eve's arms, giggling all the time.You don't need to guess, you know that the girl who is hugging you is Minxi. I haven't seen her in the past two years, and her size has increased a lot. Now she is almost 1.7 meters, and she is a slim and tall girl.

"Sister!" She put her arms around Eve's neck, bouncing around, her voice still as crisp as before.Holding a big umbrella, Nanfen covered her mouth and smiled behind them.

"Brother, come quickly! This way, this way—" Minxi shouted again, waving her arms behind her.

Only then did Eve see Luge who was standing at the corner of the platform.He shook his head this way, threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the puddle, trotted all the way and came here with an umbrella.

"Why are you still smoking?" Minxi looked at her own brother with some disgust.

"The rain won't stop for a while, so don't just talk, let's get in the carriage." This tall, thin, blond handsome guy was only wearing a shirt and a vest today, and Eve felt cold looking at it.

"Give me the umbrella, I'm going to fight with Sister Eve, you smell like cigarettes, go find your mother." Minxi said.

So Luge had to hand the umbrella to his sister, and he took the umbrella from Nanfen himself.

Min Xi has been known to be crazy since she was a child, and her temperament has not changed, she is very lively.She walked ahead holding Eve's arm under an umbrella, walking fast and swaying from side to side. If Eve hadn't received Baililin's balance training, she would have been thrown into the mud by this little girl today.The two stumbled and ran to the main road, playing non-stop, and the umbrella was almost a decoration. Eve only felt that her back was soaked by the rain and most of her hair was wet.Behind her, Nanfen's unhappiness was almost written all over her face. If Minxi hadn't come out of her stomach, she would have doubted whether this child was her own flesh and blood.

The four of them got into the carriage together, and Nanfen finally couldn't help but began to criticize her daughter who would never grow up again, while Minxi hugged Eve's waist and kept yelling not to let Nanfen continue to speak, while Luge, who was sitting next to Nanfen, was whistling, looking determined to see the jokes of the mother and daughter.
