[Masterpiece Les Miserables] Paris Sparks

After that, Corona was finally able to walk among her friends in her original form for the first time.

Instead of being complacent, she became more cautious: after all, she didn't have a title, and her current fame and wealth depended on the pursuit of nobles, and she knew that people's pursuit came and went quickly, and she would never relax her vigilance and sleep peacefully. worry free.Unlike the free college students, she is already the head of the family after all, with a family and a large group of female workers to take care of.Out of this caution, she did not announce her true identity with great fanfare. Among those outside ABC who don't know her well, few people know that she has another identity.As for herself, she only pretended that she met a few friends to study the issue of female workers' education. The name that ABC promotes to the outside world is a group that studies children's education, and such a friendship is not unexpected.Only among Friends on ABC did she speak of revolution and freedom as Corona Evermond.

Of course, their attitudes towards her have also undergone some changes: for example, they will deliberately avoid physical contact with her, and every time she sits at the table, people on both sides will unconsciously give way to her Leave more space.As for if she wants to pass through the crowd, the effect is almost like Moses dividing the sea.When they told dirty jokes, they would lower their voices guiltyly, or even stop abruptly, if they suddenly remembered her presence;

Corona pretended not to notice anything.How she got along with them when she was doing men's clothing before, and how she still gets along now.She acted so relaxed and at ease, without any shyness or shyness at all. After a long time, her friends were gradually infected by her, and they really didn't mind her gender that much anymore.After all, they had been with Cole for so long, and it was only natural for them to get back to the old way of getting along.

Only Enjolras noticed the only change in her: from that day on, Corona really didn't say a word about love between men and women among them.Others occasionally gossip during serious conversations, talk about the beautiful girls they saw, and gossip about the love history of their friends.Corona just smiled and listened quietly. If someone wanted to ask for her opinion, she just smiled and shied away: "I don't think my opinion can be used as a reference. Could it be that the girl you fell in love with is just like me?"

Her character and pursuit are indeed far from ordinary girls.This refusal a few times, other people also think it makes sense, so they don't ask any more questions.It was hardly noticed that she deftly avoided every such subject without saying a word about it.

But Enjolras couldn't help but care.

After Cole Carton suddenly broke up with him and disappeared, friends discussed this matter several times, and Courfeyrac also mentioned his conjecture about an illegitimate child, which gained some approval.At that time Bossuet suggested: "According to you, he and that Miss Evermond are brothers and sisters. You might as well ask the lady if you can find out something?"

"I would like to, but that lady has always been very cold to me, and I doubt I can ask anything." Courfeyrac shrugged, "And she doesn't know the rest of you—"

"She should know about us, Cole must have told her about it," said Feuilly.

"How do you know?" Ruo Li asked.

"She, uh..." Feuilly lowered his voice a little bit embarrassed, "I remember hearing...she seems to have a crush on Enjolras."

"Ha, that's right! Who doesn't love Enjolras!" Grantaire in the corner shouted drunkenly.

They made a few jokes at that time and didn't take this matter to heart.But now that Enjolras thought about it, she couldn't put it away: it was one thing for a girl she didn't know to have a crush on him, but Corona... Corona was completely different.

He couldn't ignore it and didn't know how to respond.So for the next period of time, he secretly paid special attention to this matter, but Corona never said a word since then.She worked as usual, painted as usual, and talked with them as usual, with a soft expression and bright eyes, as if the love that Feuilly talked about had never happened.

He has seen his own mother, weak and helpless, worried every day under his father's control but not daring to get rid of the control. Only when his father occasionally looks pleasant, she will burst into a short-lived brilliance, like dusty porcelain that has been touched by fingers for a long time. After wiping, it shows a pure white background.He has also seen many girls who confessed to him, their cheeks were flushed, they were at a loss, and they couldn't even speak well; or they gave him winking eyes one after another, making gestures, trying to seduce him with their flesh/desire.But Enjolras only saw impulsiveness, passion and obedience in front of these so-called "loves".

... Corona was different from all of them.

But Corona didn't notice any difference in Enjolras.

No, to be precise, she noticed that Enjolras seemed to be paying special attention to her.But since she revealed her true identity, all of her friends have had the same attitude. Enjolras is not outstanding among them. Rather, if he is as usual, he will seem strange.Therefore, Corona was very calm about it, and even the more Enjolras paid attention to her, the more she tried to act as if nothing had happened.Two months later, friends including Enjolras gradually returned to the old way of getting along, and Corona stopped thinking about it.

A regular life can make people feel that the days go by quickly.It seems that in a blink of an eye, summer flies, and autumn in Paris comes again.

For a painter, the colorful fallen leaves on the boulevards are a sight, but for Corona, the cooler weather is not a pleasant one.On the one hand, this means that many nobles have returned to Paris from their summer estates, and various social interactions have increased again; on the other hand, winter is the most difficult for poor female workers.Not only was she worried about them, but she also had to start preparing for the exam questions, so as to give them rewards and buy winter clothes-it was a huge workload on both sides.

For about a month she was so busy that she seldom went to parties.When the exam questions came out, the busyness was over, and when she walked into Collins again, she was surprised to find that there was a new face in the seat.

This is rare. Needless to say, ABC, Collins's other workers and students are also regular people, and she is familiar with each of them.Out of caution, she stood still by the door and looked at the man.

The new face was sitting next to Courfeyrac, a young student with a childish look, who looked younger than everyone present.He was a handsome boy, although he was not as good as Enjolras in Corona's critical eyes, but he was not bad in appearance.Bossuet at the side saw Corona and waved to her, so she walked towards them and sat down beside the boy.When he looked up, he was shocked, and then hurriedly lowered his head, obviously he didn't expect to meet a young girl sitting next to him here.

"This is Marius, a friend of Gouffet, an enlightened youth. -- This is Coronne, our friend, a famous painter." Bossuet introduced them.Corona looked at Marius with great interest, seeing that his head was about to drop to the table.

"Have you seen me somewhere?" she asked.

Startled, Marius glanced up at her quickly, and immediately lowered his eyes again. "I, I don't think so." He whispered back.

"Then, I must have offended you somewhere? Otherwise, why would you lower your head like this, as if it was a great insult to you to look at me?"

"I didn't mean that," Marius protested in a voice like a mosquito.His head hung so low that his forehead almost touched the table.Corona had never seen anyone whose face blushed so quickly, in just a few seconds, even the backs of his ears were flushed.Courfeyrac, on the table next to him, burst out laughing.

"Well, let him go, Corona! Our Marius looks like a medieval knight when it comes to women."

"Even the knights in the Middle Ages always faced a person when they talked to me, instead of facing a poisonous snake." Corona said in a half-joking tone with some displeasure.But she got up and changed seats with Jehan, who was next to her, and sat at the next table. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Marius seemed relieved, and finally dared to raise his head again.

"How is the literacy test?" asked Combeferre.

"The exam papers are out, and I will give them the exam next week. After the papers are approved, the subsidy can be issued—God, there are 350 students in this year's classes. Thinking about the workload of approving the exam papers gives me a headache."

"Is there anything we can do for you?" Enjolras asked.

Corona's eyes lit up. "You said it yourself, and you are not allowed to go back on it." She said with a smile, "After the exam is over, I will arrest you to grade the papers together."

"Can we approve it?" Ruoli asked worriedly.

"It's a very simple test, you can definitely do it—it's nothing more than vocabulary, sentence construction, grammar, etc. But there is a short essay in the advanced class that reads legal provisions. How do you like that question, Bossuet?"

"Forgive me, you know I've already been fired." Bossuet said with a smile.

Corona was taken aback, "You were fired?" she asked.

"That's right, come and congratulate me for getting out of the sea of ​​suffering!"

She frowned and smiled, shaking her head disapprovingly. "Okay, congratulations! But I really want to give up this degree you gave up to girls who want to go to college," she said.

After that, she chatted with them about the literacy class test, their homework at the beginning of school, and all kinds of interesting things in school.Marius remained silent for the rest of the conversation, which she noticed but didn't care about.

She did not know the impact on Marius of this incident.It's also fortunate that she didn't know - if Corona knew that Marius would think it was a shameless thing for her to sit here and chat with a group of young men, then she would have to defend him until he ran away.However, Marius had always been very shy in front of women, and he did not dare to assert this in front of her, and his assertion was actually shaken.

Since he ran away from home and cut off contact with his grandfather, he has firmly believed that the old family education he had abandoned was pedantic, ignorant and backward, and the ideas of the new group of friends he made were advanced and bright.And Corona bewildered him: maybe his old thoughts belonged to those old things that should be discarded, another wrong idea?Maybe something like her is more fashionable and progressive?But he only saw this example, and it seemed that only Corona had the right to do so.What's going on here?

When facing women, Marius is extremely shy and reserved.He dared not ask Corona these questions, he dared not even confide them to Courfeyrac.However, there was one thing he had figured out: he couldn't stand a girl like Corona.

It is easy to avoid Corona, because the time she appears each time is the most stable among ABCs.So since then, the two have not met for the second time.Once in the winter, Courfeyrac said of Marius and said to Coronne: "It's a pity you didn't come yesterday! You missed his wonderful speech on Napoleon. When Marius was so excited But it's rare."

Corona had almost forgotten who Marius was then.She thought for a while before she remembered this person, so she only agreed flatly.In another year, she would almost forget about this man at all.

The author has something to say: Courfeyrac: He will abduct your little Cosette in two years.

Coronne: (drawing the gun in a second) Come to a duel, Marius! (x
