foreigner's journey

Chapter 1249 Inexperience
For some reason, Heather felt an inexplicable sense of security and trust in her heart the first time she saw the gray-haired girl, just like when she faced Moshi and Rebecca.

It was as if he was a companion who had been with me for many years, sharing life and death with me.

Facing such a beautiful girl, Heather was a little nervous and nodded to her: "Um, hello. I'm Heather, a newcomer to the Sword of Fire. May I ask who you are..."

The gray-haired girl opposite just stared at him, with no intention of responding.

The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment, and it was Moshi who broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Lan, this is Heather." Moshi held the gray-haired girl's hand and shook it gently, "And Miss Ghost Spider, remember? The one mentioned in the meeting..."

"Gwen Stacy, Heather's girlfriend."

Gwen took the initiative to walk forward and extended her hand to Lan: "Nice to meet you."

Lan pursed his lips slightly, and the orange-red light in his eyes became brighter.

Rebecca huddled in the corner of the sofa, staring left and right with her big eyes, silent as a cicada.

Lan and Gwen looked at each other, and suddenly Lan reached out and grabbed Gwen's hand and pulled it back. Before Gwen even had time to react, she was pulled in front of Lan by a huge force.

What a powerful force! Gwen realized that the opponent's absolute strength even exceeded that of the ghost spider. Could it be that she was also bitten by something?
Heather saw Gwen being pulled over and immediately walked over: "You guys..."

After taking two steps, he stopped hesitantly.

Lan came up to Gwen and sniffed her cheeks and neck, causing Gwen to blush and stammer, "What are you doing?"

Those are the places Heather had kissed just now. Is this woman a pervert? Hey! Stop sniffing down!
Gwen quickly pushed Lan away, took two steps back, and was hugged by Heather who came over.

Lan stood in the living room, her orange eyes looking from Gwen to Heather, her lips tightening. Suddenly, she moved her lips as if she was about to speak.

Moshi said promptly with an unchanged smile: "Don't you still have things to do, Lan?"

Lan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Suddenly a whirlwind formed with her as the center.

Soon, the cyclone dissipated and Lan's figure disappeared with the wind.

Gwen turned to look at Heather suspiciously, "You two knew each other before?"

Her girlish intuition told her that the woman named Lan knew her boyfriend and they had once been very close.

Heather immediately shook her head, "No! I've never seen her before!"

At this time, Mo Xi smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Lan's personality is a bit strange. I hope she doesn't cause too much trouble to you two. Then we won't disturb your private birthday party, Rebecca?"

Rebecca, who wanted to stay and observe carefully, was dragged away dejectedly by Moshi, and the rented house soon returned to peace.

Gwen sat down on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief:

"These people come and go in a hurry. I always feel that I am just a cover. Their real purpose is to visit you."

"Me? What do I have to see?"

Heather thought her girlfriend's jealous look was cute, so she poked her cheek with her finger:
"Don't worry, Gwen Stacy, I only love you."

Gwen was touched by the word "love". She turned over and sat on Heather. She blushed as she looked at her boyfriend's ordinary but charming face. She said in a soft voice:

"Prove it to me."

Heather didn't say anything, but answered her with practical actions.

The lights in the rental house soon went out.

On the top of a tall building more than ten kilometers away, Mo Xi stood on the edge of the roof, retracted his gaze, and turned to look behind him: "Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Lan stood behind Moshi, silent.

"You wanted to tell him the truth, didn't you?"

Moshi rarely looked so serious, even a little stern:
"Do you want everyone to lose all their efforts?"

"This is not what he should bear..."

Lan spoke slowly, his voice as clear and cold as rain.

"This is Heather's choice. We can't help him, and we must not interfere with him." Moshi said coldly: "Do you think you are the only one who is worried about him? We have paid such a great sacrifice to get to the current situation. You must be patient."

Lan's orange-red dragon eyes looked at Mo Xi: "I don't know what your mentality is, but I feel very ashamed. When he needed us the most, I couldn't use my strength to support him. Even that blunt knife could sacrifice its life for him, but I couldn't... I failed to fulfill my duty as a [Sword]."

Swirls of dark clouds began to appear over New York City, and lightning surged.

"Me too, Lan. We all feel guilty. We failed to do either of 'protecting the master' or 'defeat the enemy'. So we must become stronger, strong enough to support Heather to reach the end of the Outlander Game."

Moshi said softly:

"It's the same this time. You have to believe in Heather. He will definitely win."

She held Lan in her arms like a real sister and comforted her, "He will definitely remember you and call your name like he did before..."

Lan was silent for a while and nodded.

The dark clouds above my head also dissipated, and the starry night sky returned to its original state.

Letting go of Lan, Mo Xi looked at the small building where the rented house was in the distance and said with a smile: "As for Miss Gwen, she is a very good and good girl. You have to learn to wish her the same as we do."

"……I do not like her."

Lan, whose expression had just relaxed a little, pursed his lips again, and his figure quickly rose up and disappeared into the night sky.

Looking at the direction where Lan disappeared, Mo Xi sighed softly.

Suzhan, I understand how you feel now... Raising a child is indeed not an easy job.

………………

"Gwen, tell me the truth, what did you do to Heather?"

In the Midtown High School cafeteria, Mary Jane and Betty cornered Gwen and questioned her.

Gwen was embarrassed and blushed as she growled, "What are you two talking about! I didn't do anything!"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Betty said in disbelief: "Annon is limping and almost needs a crutch. Did you beat him up last night? Wow, I didn't expect you to go for something heavy right away... Ugh!"

Gwen covered Betty's mouth tightly, her face flushed: "Shut up!"

"I don't remember ever teaching you this level of knowledge..." Mary Jane said with a worried look on her face: "Heather's physical fitness isn't as good as yours, so you better take it easy."

Gwen, who was a complete novice before, sought advice from Mary Jane, who had two love experiences, and the latter simply told Gwen about the relevant precautions and specific procedures as a technical assistance.

I didn't expect this... Mary Jane looked at Gwen, shaking her head and sighing, looking like her master was unfortunate. Gwen was so embarrassed that she almost cried.

On the other side, Heather grinned, holding her waist and slowly sitting on the chair.

He misjudged the physical disparity between himself and Gwen.

In the beginning, he did have the initiative, but later on... he touched his hip bone that was almost broken, and he was still frightened.

Is there any way to improve your physical performance?
Just as Heather was daydreaming, Peter suddenly ran into the restaurant, approached Heather mysteriously and said, "Heather, did you watch the news?"

"What news?" Heather asked curiously, rubbing her lower back.

Peter excitedly picked up his phone and showed it to Heather:
"Aliens appeared in Nepal!"
