"It's okay tomorrow, but forget it tonight. We can't let the children who have come back from a long way be tired. Little Serena, come and help me."

"Good~"

The blue-haired girl smiled sweetly at her brother.

Xidi shook her head.

……

I soaked in the bathtub in a daze.

He is in good condition today. As long as he doesn't think about drowning, he won't feel uncomfortable. Of course, he still has to stick his head and neck out of the tank and lie down to soak.

Maybe you will be even more tired after soaking.

Thinking back on what happened today, in the morning, I said goodbye to Master and hugged...

Xidi suddenly had the urge to cover her face, feeling that her master was hugging a small animal.

I went to visit my grandpa and met Serena. She lived a good life in this normal family.

Although, there is still a bit of sinisterness and madness in the depths of those eyes, after all, having parents like that...

It reminds me of a saying: Unlucky people spend their whole lives healing their childhood.

……

Chapter 12: Deposition

Mr. Hyman came back with a pile of bread. The bread at home was almost finished again.

This is his wife's habit. Most of the dinners consist of bread with sausage, bacon, fried eggs or cheese. It's hearty, but it's still better to have it warmer.

It’s not that I don’t like bread, but I really don’t like it that much.

As a social animal, I eat bread, fried eggs and fried bacon for breakfast, eat a sandwich with black coffee at the store at noon, and eat bread when I come back... Isn't it too painful?

Of course he didn't dare say a word at home.

When his daughter was there, there were people to distract the firepower, so he was alone. The balcony was cool, the sofa was cold, and the floor was hard. People need to be self-aware. The order of family status was Eleanor > Serena > Estelle ≥ him.

"With this weather... at least there's a bowl of hot soup, that would be good."

Mr. Heyman, who had a dull face like a traditional magician, took out the key and was about to open the door when the door clicked open, and a child with fluffy white hair looked up at him.

"Sorry, I went to the wrong place -"

Heyman was stunned for a moment before turning around.

That's not right, I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet, how could I even go to the wrong door?

He took two steps and looked back. He took another two steps and looked again. It was true that he didn't recognize the child, but the door looked familiar.

"Uncle Hyman, it's me."

Xidi brushed his freshly dried hair and pushed it down to reveal his eyes. He had not yet reached puberty and his voice did not change much.

Heyman tried hard to find the person who corresponded to the voice in his mind, "It's Xiao Xiidi. Serena often mentioned you. If I had known you would come back, what kind of bread would I have bought... I asked, ahem, asked your aunt to make it. Welcome to order delicious food!”

He was overjoyed when he reacted. Although the past guests also ate bread when they came, there would always be preferential treatment for children, right?

"Well, Auntie is almost ready and waiting for you."

Xidi probably knew what this uncle usually ate.

The middle-aged man's nose, which was stiffened by the cold wind, moved, and the warm aroma of food floating in the room entered his nostrils, onions, butter, and most importantly - meat!

"Xiao Xidi," Heyman freed up a hand and patted his shoulder with an extremely sincere tone: "You must stay a few more days."

"Uh, if you don't disturb me..."

"do not disturb!"

……

At the dinner table, Mr. Hyman held the knife and fork, his hands shaking.Just now he tried to "taste" and was whipped by his wife with a wand.

I feel a little wronged...

Until he felt his wife reach out and squeeze his palm, giving him a complicated look. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he felt much better.

"Xidi, did you encounter any difficulties in learning magic?"

Eleanor coughed, tapped the plate lightly, announced that the meal was ready and prepared to get some information.

I glanced at Serena. She was cute, cute, sensible and considerate. It was good to be a daughter. Other things...

Are you kidding? She only has a daughter, and she is planning to have a grandson. She can't let Estelle fall head over heels for her sister. Now that she knows more about Xi Di, it will be much easier to match her in the future.

"Ah, no," Hidi shook her head honestly, "except for the problem of magic power."

"It will be fine when you grow up," Mr. Heyman, who once worked as an association clerk, said half-clearly while stuffing meat into his mouth: "Magic power is linked to the soul. A widely circulated saying is that people The more mature your thinking is, the more stable the magic power you can use will be... Of course, it is also related to your genetic quality..."

"cough!"

Eleanor glanced at her husband dissatisfiedly, "Did I wink at you to ask you to say this?"

She added more food to her husband's plate and told him to shut up and eat.

"Anyway, it's good that we haven't encountered any difficulties. Our Estelle complained a lot at the beginning..." Eleanor was well versed in the art of language. She just briefly mentioned her daughter to leave an impression, "Speaking of which, little one What are Xidi’s future plans?”

Xi Di thought for a while, "I plan to stay here for a few days, and then continue to practice as a witch."

"That's amazing," Mr. Hyman interjected.

Eleanor glanced over again, turned around and smiled again: "Isn't it too hard? Serena misses you so much, please stay a few more days."

The little girl gave her brother a sweet smile at the right time.

Mr. Heyman interrupted again: "The practice of magic is important, but don't neglect your family."

"Yeah, I know." Xidi nodded in agreement.

"When you are tired, you can take the time to come and see us. This has always been your home." Eleanor's face was kind and kind.

It’s the expression the garden owner looks at when he looks at the little white pig.

"Well," Xidi reached out and stroked her sister's hair, "Thank you, aunt and uncle."

……

The family dinner where someone did not deserve a place or a name was over. Hidi put on her pajamas and slept in the same room as Serena tonight. After all, they are both children. It would not be so particular if they were just staying temporarily. It just so happened that he wanted to watch it too. Look at my sister's state during this time.

The fluttering outside became denser again, and the sound of rain was very stimulating to sleep.

Hidi put on her pajamas and sat on the bed. The wand lit up the light and shone on the notebook, soft and not dazzling.

The bed is neither soft nor hard, just suitable for a young child to rest. The furnishings in the room are simple, but the apple-shaped bed lamp, pink-blue curtains and warm-colored wallpaper all prove that they are carefully matched.

These details carved in time cannot be faked, and it is difficult to build up such thickness with empty things.

While she was concentrating on reading the book, the door opened slightly, and Serena, wearing pink pajamas, walked in quietly.

Xidi raised her book and said, "I haven't slept yet."

"elder brother……"

The little girl jumped on the bed, rolled to lie down next to Xi Di, and looked over with a pair of clear red eyes.

"How have you been feeling lately? There are too few things to say in the letter, so I can have a real feeling when I look at you."

Hidi put down the book, gently picked up Serena, and pinched her face under the warm light. The distance was very close, and the lavender fragrance of the shower gel was mixed with a slight milk smell.

"The cheeks are a little thinner, the baby fat is not visible, and the hair is almost a finger longer..."

New impressions replace the memories in my mind little by little, like turning a page in a photo album.

Xidi is not sensitive to the passage of time, and is afraid that if she is not careful, the people around her will grow into someone she does not recognize.

Like his two uncles.

Serena was a little shy. This distance made the strangeness of a year disappear quickly, and the warm feeling was hard to refuse.

She only hugged Aunt Eleanor in the morning.

"Well, I feel that this year has gone very fast." The little girl moved her position, turned over and sat on her brother's lap, clasping her fingers: "I went to Sanchome School. My classmates were very childish, but they talked very lively; I learned cooking from Aunt Eleanor, and I learned the cookies you made before, brother! Oh, and during the time when brother just left, Estelle came back, and she and I were best friends..."

Hidi listened quietly to Serena describing her life. Until the end, her face was gentle and calm.

"So, what is Serena thinking?"

he asked softly.

"..."

The younger sister's lively expression dimmed little by little, like those delicate-faced dolls in Mal's shop.

"Those people were very annoying with their chirping. Estelle had been clinging to her like a puppy for the past few days. It was troublesome to say hello to people she met every time she went out. She always wanted to use a knife to chop something when cooking... ...Only when I think about my brother, this place will be quiet."

Under her hands is where her heart is.

Regrettably, the innocent and lively little girl is just a puppet put together from a broken past. She has learned to hide the stitches as delicately as if they were placed in a window, and only reveals the truth in front of her brother.

Xi Di tightened his arms and put them around her waist.

"It's really hard. Serena has done a great job and is willing to talk to me. My brother is very happy. Don't keep sad things in your heart. You can tell me anything."

Serena's expression softened, she buried her head in her brother's arms and said in a low voice: "Thank you, brother... I feel fine. People around me live like this. Although it is annoying, it is much better than before. Like yes……"

She struggled to describe it.

"—like going from winter to summer."

Chapter 13: Leisure

Winters are bitingly cold and summers are unbearably hot.

But it needs to be warmer after all.

The story between Xidi and his unrelated sister is very long, and it lasted until he first arrived in Chongqing Township, but the really profound part happened only a year ago.

It’s not a good thing. When the wound heals many years later, Serena may talk to the person who healed her in a warm courtyard with her child in her arms, and talk about it in a casual tone. The beginning could be:

"As for me, my parents used to be scum..."

Beyond that, the story won't come out of anyone's mouth.

——Xidi thought so.

……

There was no sweet incense last night, otherwise no one would be able to sleep well except him. Not many people could tolerate that taste, just like the pure honey drink he liked.

Throughout the night, the insecure girl had been clinging to him, as if she wanted to make up for the time that they had not been together in the past year, and the light lavender fragrance floated softly into his dream.

"I want to see the lavender fields."

When I opened my eyes, I had this thought in my mind.

Then the sound of rain outside the window woke him up. Xidi knew that in this season, only bare plants could be seen in the flower field.

Maybe, if there is a magician who likes it, he might use magic to keep it together. Speaking of which, lavender essential oil and perfume are also specialties of the clock town...

After letting her thoughts wander for 2 minutes, Xidi slowly moved her body to get up.

At this time, Serena was still pressing on his shoulders, half of her body was huddled in the quilt, and even her ears were buried. From his point of view, she looked like a fat white hamster.

There was a gentle knock on the door. After a while, Eleanor opened the door and poked her head in. After seeing that Hidi had woken up, she smiled and whispered: "I came to see Serena." Are you awake? We need to prepare breakfast. She has to go to school today."

If she's already awake, ask her to wash her up. If not, let her sleep a little longer. Making breakfast takes time, so it's not too late to ask her when it's almost done.

Her movements are very skillful, and it can be seen that she has been used to them for a long time.

It's a warm thing to have someone who cares about you sleeping a little longer.

Xi Di didn't respond, worried about waking her sister, so she nodded slightly, and Elinor closed the door with a smile, the sound was softer than raindrops.

She used magic to support her body, stuffed the pillow inside, then quietly left the bed, took off her pajamas, put on a shirt and a thin white coat, and finally put on a robe. A tight hem will cause air leakage, but if it is tightened, this piece alone will feel stuffy, so just wear it as it keeps both temperature and style.

As for the hat, there is no need to wear it during this period, and even the platycodon flower badge Xidi has been put away.

He was just about to use magic to clean it, but when he walked out of the door, Uncle Heyman handed him a tooth cup with very young teeth and a toothbrush with a rabbit pattern on it...

Two men, one large and one small, were standing in front of the pool, gargling with cups of water.
