Evetrona's old stories

"That's right." Minxi nodded.

Eve was thinking that maybe Stoun followed after seeing her and Minxi going out.

"Your father said you were going to be a soldier," Eve said.

"I'm going to serve in the army, but I'm on vacation recently. It just so happens that Brother Luge is going to hold an engagement banquet, so I accompanied my mother here." The young man replied while smoking a cigarette.

Stone is about the same age as Eve, less than 20 years old. Judging from his tone of voice, this person may be a bit rebellious.

Eve talked with him for a while, during which time she turned her head to look at Long Ke and Fan Biqiu, who were still standing there.Stone noticed her little movement.

"Those two guys..." Ston squinted his eyes and looked at the two people in the distance, "Did you two just look at them?" He smiled, got up and left the colonnade, and said to the two sisters: "Long Ke and Fan Bijiu, I know both of them, which one do you like?"

Eve shook her head hastily, but Minxi pointed to Fan Bijiu and said, "The shorter one... oh, it's not that I like it, it's... ouch!" Eve pinches.She jumped back a step and tore off Eve's shawl.

"Hey, aren't you cold!" Minxi rubbed her waist, ran back with a smile, and hugged Eve's back again.

"Looking at Fan Bijiu?" Stoun raised his eyebrows, extinguished his half-smoked cigarette, and threw it into the dry grass behind him.He exhaled the last puff of smoke slowly, and asked Eve with a smile, "Do you want me to call him over for you?"

Eve quickly stopped him, "No need! Don't listen to her nonsense, actually—I'm not interested in men."

"Really..." Stoun was stunned after hearing this, and then said, "Sorry, I didn't understand the situation."

"It's okay, Minxi is still to blame for this matter, it's her talking nonsense."

Perhaps because Stoun is Comino's son, Eve has no ill feeling toward him.

Stone shook his head and smiled.The three looked at each other, and seemed to have nothing to say for a while.So, Stoun said to the two, "How about we go back first? It's so cold outside, we can't stay for long."

Eve nodded, and Stone opened the door for them, allowing the two sisters to enter the room.When Minxi passed by him, she returned the plush shawl to him.

"You are so sweet." Minxi winked at him.

"You mean the shawl? It's like this—my mother can't stand the smell of cigarettes, so I said I'm going out to smoke." Stone closed the door and followed Minxi, explaining the origin of the shawl to her, "She's afraid I was cold, so I gave me the shawl... Isn't this just useful?"

Minxi walked two steps quickly, holding Eve's arm and smiling while covering her mouth.She was unimpressed by Stone's explanation.

After leaving the corridor, Stoun separated from the two, and the young man returned to Eluren.Eve sat back in her seat and watched them from a distance for a while.The three children of Ilulun all came today, and Silinya and Oledon sat beside their mother on the left and right.Storm put the shawl on the back of the chair behind Eluren, leaning over and talking to her.

"What you said just now is too powerful." Minxi pushed the chair back and whispered to Eve.

"What did I say?" Eve turned her head and looked at her blankly.

"You said—'Actually, I'm not interested in men'." When she said this, she winked at Eve, showing a charming appearance.Eve was thinking—is this how she usually talks to people?

Seeing that Eve was in a daze, she said again: "This is the first time I know, the original words can still be said that way, did you see Storn's flustered expression just now?"

"I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously." She explained to Minxi.

After this banquet, Eve was accosted countless times, as if all the young talents in Mengcheng had appeared in an instant.If it wasn't for Minxi or Fanbijiu by her side, she didn't know if she would be able to handle such a scene.

"I want to learn this sentence for Nanfen, and see how she reacts." After Minxi finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

Eve quickly stopped her.

"Why do you tell her this, don't make her unhappy."

Just at this time, Fan Bijiu and Longke came back, and Eve let Minxi escape without paying attention.

When they met again, Fan Bijiu's face was obviously not very good-looking, and he didn't know what the two had just said.

Longke was very calm, and even looked a little proud.

Fan Bijiu sat down on the chair next to Eve, and asked her aggressively and impatiently: "Who is Di Geng?"

Eve opened her mouth and turned to look at Long Ke: "You took him outside just to tell him about this?"

"Yes, I think he should be informed about this, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for him in the future." Longke was not guilty, but smiled at her.

"So what Long Ke said is true?" Fan Bijiu asked her.

"What really? What did he say to you?" Eve asked with a frown.

"He said you have a boyfriend."

The air seemed to be quiet for a moment.

Seeing the eager expression on Fan Bijiu's face, Eve suddenly burst out laughing.Only then did she discover that the maturity that Vinbiquito showed just now seemed to be a fake - he was provoked by Long Ke in this way, and in the end he immediately changed back to the virtues of a year ago.

"Is it true?" Fan Bijiu became even more anxious when he saw that she was just smiling but not speaking.

"It's true." Eve put away her smile and said seriously.For some reason, when she saw Fan Bijiu's current state, she suddenly wanted to tease him.

When Fan Bijiu heard her answer, the expression on his face seemed a bit devastated.He resisted the urge to run away on the spot, and asked her with a bitter face, "Where is he from?"

Eve fell silent.She glanced at Long Ke from the corner of her eye.

"I heard from Longke that he is from Yard County." Fan Bijiu's tone was questioning, "Why can you promise him but not me? I have asked you so many times before... "

"Whoever I choose is my freedom." Eve's eyes were half a smile.

"What am I not as good as him? Or is it because he is older... Do you like mature types? Then you can wait for me for another two years..."

Fan Bijiu's tone was a little anxious, and someone nearby noticed the dispute here.The guests were paying attention to the situation here in a covert and polite manner. Although their actions were not obvious, Eve could vaguely feel that the surrounding conversations were decreasing.

After realizing this, Eve became somewhat sober.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you. Actually, Di Geng and I have nothing to do with that." Eve comforted him.

"You're lying to me again." Fan Bijiu looked frustrated.

"What's 'again'? Have I lied to you before?" Eve asked him with a smile.

Fan Bijiu looked at her face and shook his head slowly.

Although Fan Bijiu didn't quite believe it, Longke was very concerned about what Eve said just now - on the eve of the holiday, on the night when everyone was drinking together, Di Geng, who was drunk, said similar things to him, and Longke was a little suspicious at that time.

Long Ke was also there when Kaen Lianni attacked Di Geng. It can be said that Long Ke saw how Di Geng and Eve got together.

"I don't think Eve lied to you." Long Ke also began to persuade Fan Bijiu, "From the very beginning, I felt that Di was more likely to take advantage of loopholes. You also know that Eve is not very good at rejecting others, and neither is that guy. Be sure of this—he took advantage of Eve's kindness."

"Is that so?" Fan Bijiu never left Eve's face.

"Maybe...but not all of them." Eve hesitated, she didn't know whether she should cooperate with Long Ke's rhetoric, so as to appease Fanbijiu's emotions, and end the topic in front of her as soon as possible.

Hearing her ambiguous answer, Vincent frowned.

"Okay, don't make things difficult for Eve." Long Ke patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Eve didn't know what Long Ke said to him, but Fan Bijiu finally stopped holding on to this issue.

In fact, Long Ke has been urging Vincent Bijou, wanting him to join forces with him to deal with Di Geng - as for how to deal with it at that time, we can discuss it later.

The banquet lasted several hours.At eight or nine o'clock, people left the venue one after another. After bidding farewell to their masters, they left the manor in a carriage.At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the hall is basically the same as the end, and only those relatives and friends who are going to spend the night here are left.These people were called together by Nanfen, surrounded each other and went upstairs, they seemed to plan to have a long talk all night.

Ruger still occupied a table with his fellow Secondary School alumni, talking animatedly.If you look carefully, you can find that there are still some scattered manuscripts on the table-these people have chosen to discuss academic issues on this occasion.

Miriam sat next to Ruger, as quiet as a puppet.Avanna standing behind her concentrated on playing with her hair, braiding her long hair into thin braids, and then undoing them one by one.Miriam didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of Luge's temporary neglect. She had been silently looking at her focused fiance with a lingering smile on her face.

When Nanfen went downstairs again, she saw Eve holding Minxi's two wrists and leading her around in the open space of the living room.The skirt below Eve's knees fluttered, and the white cloud lining fluttered up and down. She turned quickly and steadily, with almost no movement under her feet.Driven by her, Minxi's feet left the ground, and her whole body flew up, screaming and laughing.

This move shocked Nanfen, after all, it was too dangerous, and Eve was still wearing high heels at this time.She hurriedly stopped the two of them, walked up to them and rebuked them as usual.The two girls sat on the same chair, their faces flushed.Minxi put her arms around Eve's waist, panting heavily.She is very dizzy now, and her whole body is limp, as if she is floating in the air.

Nanfen didn't blame Minxi much this time.After all, without Eve's cooperation, this kind of thing would never have happened.Nanfen was also a little surprised, why the always prudent Eve would make such a move.

On the surface, Eve accepted Nanfen's criticism wholeheartedly, but she felt a rare sense of liberation in her heart - she hadn't felt this way for a long time.

She secretly stuck out her tongue at Minxi, but was caught by Nanfen again.

"Minxi, go back to your room and sleep tonight." Nanfen ordered in an unquestionable tone.

As a result, Minxi's wailing sounded in the hall.

The servants cleaned up the tables and chairs, and temporarily put the sundries in a corner of the hall on the first floor.After living here for so many years, it was the first time Eve felt that the hall of the villa was so spacious.

"We must wait for autumn next time, and choose a good weather, so that we can do it outside." Nanfen stood near the stairs, looking at the mess in the living room, and sighed to her two daughters.

In the next few days, Nanfen sent people to the Public Security Headquarters in Bomeng City and Yutong City to check the files of Miriam's previous sojourn, and recorded the addresses of those families one by one to confirm that there was nothing missing.She plans to send some rewards and gifts to the families who once took in Miriam, and reveal some of her recent situation along the way.

"Remember, be sure to send these things out. If someone insists on not accepting them, tell them - if you don't accept them, someone will be kicked out." Nanfen instructed her old steward.

When the old steward heard her words, the corners of his eyes twitched. He looked at the hostess with a sad face, and asked hesitantly, "Are you going to...do you want to..."

"Okay, don't think about it, it's just an excuse..." Nanfen smiled and sent him out the door.

One can imagine how shocked these people were when they learned that Miriam was going to marry Mochi Darkren's son.But in fact, Nanfen didn't do this to vent her anger on Miriam, nor to repay her favor. Nanfen just wanted to redeem her past—let her settle with these people and make her feel at ease.

Miriam once had a home, but her feeling of home seems to be too long ago, so that she needs time to re-adjust to a new life.

What kind of place is home?

From a longer time point of view, a home is just a place that can shelter from the wind and rain and resist the attacks of wild animals; but later, when private ownership gradually replaced group marriage and public ownership, "home" has a more complicated meaning-it is in people's lives. The heart becomes sacred and inviolable.

Home is heaven, a place where people can let go of their guard and carry dreams and support.When the status quo is difficult to change, when living is almost a tribulation, when everyone's eyes become cold, the existence of home is particularly important.

Miriam was like a wandering leaf, gently held by Nanfen in her palm.

During this period, I don’t know how many people came to dissuade Nanfen, asking her to “consider” for Luge’s lifelong happiness, but no matter what purpose these people had, whether their intentions were good or bad, Nanfen never wavered—she was ready to fight a protracted war, and this kind of “kind persuasion” might last until Miriam and Luge got married, or even after they had their first child... or even further.

Nanfen also couldn't explain why she trusted this girl so hastily.Maybe, trusting Miriam and trusting your intuition are the same thing.

Mao Qi always likes to use two words to describe his wife - wise and assertive.If Nanfen insisted on doing something, Maoqi would never stop her—not because he was afraid of his wife, but because he knew that his wife would never disappoint the family.

If home is heaven, then Nanfen is God.The supreme authority she has in the family is the absolute approval of her family members' love and devotion to her.

[113] Enthalpy of phase transition (Part [-])

In the depths of the boundless mountains, Balbohan, Gowawa, and Nolifin are struggling forward in the valley.A red bird was stepping on Gowawa's shoulder at this moment, directing them to go east and west.

Balbohan is a "Pale Aswan?"—a very mysterious race, or species.Sometimes it looks like a man, sometimes it looks like a woman, but in fact its real appearance is a huge slit vampire bat—several times larger than Ji Xian.Balbohan can be transformed into a mist, but no matter what form it takes, the whites of its eyes will only be blood red, so it often wears a hat with a large brim to cover up this difference.

At this time, Balbohan looked like a pale, handsome and tall man, wearing a long red cloak, walking at the front of the team.Gowawa and Nuolifen walked behind him side by side.

Gowawa is a mountain dwarf who is two hundred years old. He is about the same height as the tall lake elf Norifin, but his waist is so bloated that he doesn't look like a human.His arms and temples were covered with thick brown hair, and he was the lightest of the three.While walking, he handed the iron jug under his arm to Nuo Lifen, but Nuo Lifen didn't appreciate it.

"Don't worry, make sure it's warm." Gowawa rubbed his broad nose, and would ask her every once in a while: "Don't drink?" "Really don't want to drink?" "Aren't you thirsty?"

Nuolifen sighed, she folded her arms and turned her head aside, not wanting to respond to Gowawa at all.Compared with the snow mountain elves, the lake elves are even better at keeping out the cold, but at this time they are in the boundless mountains, and Nolifin is still wearing very bloated clothes.

More than half a year ago—it was still summer, they were invited by Ji Xian to look for Lord Harvey.The three are all friends that Harvey met during his early travels, and they have a lifelong friendship with each other.

They chose to cross the tail end of the Mien Mountains by boat in the warmest season, heading all the way to the melting glacial river at the junction of Lomingo and Mokoto, and straight into the outer area of ​​the Infinite Mountains.

They have been searching here for a long time, but there has been no progress.

Seeing that Nuolifen insisted on refusing, Gowawa ran two quick steps, shifted his target, and handed the water bottle to Balbohan.Balbohan said a few words of thanks, and then poured the water from the jug into his own container.

Satisfied, Gowawa took back the empty water jug, shoveled snow from the ground, stuffed it into the jug, and clamped it under his arm again.

"You guys had better find a chance to boil the water. Diarrhea in this place is not a funny thing." Nuolifen warned the two.

"So you are worried about this..." Gowawa smiled and touched his head.

"No, I just think your kettle is too dirty and smells like body odor." Nuo Lifen scolded mercilessly.

"You are still so ruthless when you talk, and you are not friendly at all." The big dwarf frowned his thick eyebrows covered with ice.

"You don't have any self-knowledge, and you blame others for speaking badly." Nuolifen said again.

"It's really weird." Gowawa filled the kettle with snow again, "Shouldn't elves have a shy personality? What kind of elf are you? I haven't seen you for more than [-] years. It's getting more and more rushed."

"Indeed, I get angry when I see you." Noli Fen said, "When we first met, you were only this tall—" She gestured at her waist, "Look at you now, you are tall and fat, disgusting."

"Dwarves just keep growing, and dwarves are not dwarf halflings." Gowawa said.

"Okay, stop arguing." Balbohan stopped and said to Gowawa, "The elf is just shy, not shy. Nolifin can speak in this tone, which means that she has a close relationship with you .”

"Huh? It's really disgusting, who is close to him." Noli Fen shook her head.

"Yes, Balbohan, don't you feel embarrassed when you say this?" Gowawa also frowned, "Look, you are the one with the lowest EQ among our group."

"Don't forget that there is another Lord." Nolifin reminded him.

"They're not the same, but at least someone likes Lord," Gowawa said.

"That's true." Nuolifen nodded.

It was rare for Balbo that the two of them stopped quarreling, so they continued on their way.

It was near evening, the wind was howling, and the sky was gradually getting dark. The three of them entered a mountain depression, planning to rest here.

Ji Xian was not very willing to participate in their topics, and usually only said a few words briefly when giving directions.And during the rest time, it will fly away from this place, not knowing where to go.

Gowawa chanted the mantra, and the ice and snow grew like vines, gradually forming a semicircular igloo, big enough for three people to rest here.

They lit a fire in the igloo, and the faint swirl of wind drove the smoke out of the round hole at the top of the igloo, leaving only light and heat inside.
