My girlfriend is a Kryptonian
Chapter 69: Schoolmate Kara's Home
Xinian sat at the dining table eating warm milk and bread. He watched the follow-up news about the "New York War" and "Superman's Death" while watching a small crimson figure busying around in the living room.
Aunt Diana went out to work early, leaving only Xinian and the crimson maid Wanda at home.
The red-haired girl tied her waist-length hair into two ponytails, wearing a slightly larger apron, and wiped the furniture at home with a wet rag. Although her movements were a little unskilled, she was extremely meticulous and careful, cleaning every corner several times.
Looking at little Wanda standing on tiptoe many times, raising her hands and wiping with great effort...
Xi Nian suddenly felt guilty for recruiting child laborers, and said reluctantly: "Well, take a break first, the house is not very dirty."
"That won't do." Wanda worked hard and panted: "I will report to the school here tomorrow. According to what Miss Diana said, it is best to clean the house thoroughly today, and also understand the future working environment."
Xi Nian asked curiously: "While studying every day, you have to come to work before and after school. Can you handle it?"
"I have no problem. In the past, I often did housework at home."
Wanda seemed to be cheering herself up, with a firm look in her eyes.
At this time
Wanda suddenly seemed to think of something, put the rag in her hand into the bucket, turned around and looked at Xinian who was enjoying breakfast, and asked the service feedback seriously: "Master, how is the temperature of my milk?"
Xinian, who was looking up to drink a mouthful of warm milk, almost choked to death on the chair. He coughed violently a few times, and a lot of white milk spilled on the back of his hand.
"Master, are you okay?" Wanda hurried forward and patted Xinian's back with her little hand.
She looked at the milk spilled on the back of Xinian's hand, without much hesitation, gently leaned forward, and drank it all with a slurp--
"Don't waste it..." Wanda licked the remaining milk stains on the corner of her lips and whispered softly.
Xinian was gone again.
He said weakly: "Wanda, remember. It's okay if you call me at home, but don't call me like this outside."
"Why?" Wanda tilted her crimson ponytails and asked innocently.
"Because I don't want to be taken away by the police uncle." Xinian said.
Especially Officer George from Gwen's house, who had been keeping a close eye on him. If he found out that he had recruited a maid, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Okay." Wanda seemed to have realized that the previous action was too intimate, and said with a slightly red cheek: "Then I will call you Master at home and Master Xi Nian outside?"
"No problem." Xi Nian nodded. He didn't say much, but quickly finished all the breakfast on the table.
Wanda secretly observed this and showed a happy smile on her face.
Let Wanda clean up the tableware and take it into the kitchen. Xi Nian pondered and said: "Wanda, you don't have to make my lunch at noon. Be careful at home."
While Xi Nian was speaking, he glanced at the little orange cat sleeping soundly under the table next to his feet, and whispered: "Xiao Huang, protect Wanda at home."
Xiao Huang didn't open his eyes, but his tail shook abruptly.
"Is the master going out?" Wanda poked her head out of the kitchen and asked curiously.
Xi Nian was choked again, still not used to this special name, took a breath and said: "Yes, I'm going to see a friend."
...
"Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you at home."
Wanda's voice was still faintly in his ears, Xi Nian glanced at the back of his right hand, Wanda's unintentional action just now obviously indirectly triggered the Lord of the Dependents.
Xi Nian could clearly feel that his physique and strength had obviously increased a little, but it was still within the scope of humans.
"Sure enough, Wanda is just an ordinary girl." Xi Nian muttered to himself, and a figure with dark green hair appeared in his mind again. I don't know why that 'North Star Boss' has such a powerful and strange ability.
Also, why Luna didn't recognize Wanda and took Wanda away on the day of the New York battle.
...
Took two or three buses in the city and suburbs of Washington.
Finally. Xi Nian sat on a dusty bus and came to the border area between Washington and New York. There are no high-rise buildings here, only endless fields and land.
In the middle of the field, there was only one straight road, extending to the blue sky on both sides.
Xi Nian got off at one of the stops far away. According to the address information provided by the school teacher, he finally came to a wooden house in the style of a Western villa. The two-story wooden house was surrounded by wheat fields.
Xi Nian didn't expect it to be so far. He looked down at the address again and confirmed that it was the place he was looking for. Then he rang the doorbell at the door.
Very quickly.
There was a sound of footsteps from inside the door, and an old woman in her sixties opened the door.
"Hello. Excuse me, does Kara Danvers live here?" Xi Nian asked first.
"Yes, who are you?" The old woman nodded and looked at the boy in confusion.
Xi Nian released the speech he had prepared long ago: "My name is Xi Nian Prince, a member of the Student Union of Washington White High School. Since Kara Danvers in the class has been on leave, I came here on behalf of the teacher to understand the situation."
Before the old woman could speak, an old male voice with a smoky voice came from inside the room: "Let him come in."
Xi Nian raised his eyes and found that he was a man of a certain age with his temples all white.
Through the man's old and resolute face, you can vaguely see that he was quite handsome when he was young.
The man introduced himself: "My name is Stephen Danvers, and I am Kara's adoptive father."
…
Living room on the first floor.
Under the gaze and consideration of the old couple, Xinian sat stiffly on the sofa.
He subconsciously glanced at the living room and found that there were many group photos on the wall, among which Kara's photos were the most numerous. Among them, there are one or two photos of young female airmen and modern fighter jets.
"Kara, do you have a sister?" Xinian asked slightly curiously, also wanting to find a topic to break the somewhat tense atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this question, the old woman's eyes dimmed, and she got up and entered the kitchen as if to avoid it.
At this moment, Xinian realized that he had said the wrong thing.
After all, the female air force figure did not appear in the group photo of Kara's family, only personal photos from the old era.
"Don't mind." Stephen raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the photo on the wall and said, "Her name is Carol Danvers, and she is my first child. When I was young, I was very patriarchal, so much so that We had a quarrel with her very early.”
"Sorry." Xinian apologized quickly.
"It's okay." Stephen waved his hand: "It's all over."
He recalled: "After Carol ran away from home, she joined the Air Force despite our objections. Soon after, she died during a deployment. I kept her photo and hung it on the wall, which was also a form of repentance. , to remind myself of the mistakes I made when I was young.”
Stephen looked at Xinian and said in a deep voice: "So, we will never allow the last remaining child, Kara, to be harmed in any way!"
From this attitude, it can be seen that the adoptive parents love Carla very much, so it is not a family reason that Carla does not go to school?
Xinian thought for a while and simply asked bluntly: "Sir, I want to know why Kara didn't come to school. Is she sick?"
"She is fine, but..." Stephen paused and said to Xinian: "Aren't you her classmate? She is in her room upstairs. You can ask her in person now."
Stephen warned: "But remember, don't mention anything about Superman!"
