[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

"So Caius is going to your house for dinner next weekend?" Arthur covered his worried attitude with a calm tone, because he knew that Elizabeth's new boyfriend would not please Harry.

First of all, Caius has a lot of background at first glance. As a former barrister, Harry has seen so many corrupt lives and bad things of the upper class, and he definitely doesn't want Elizabeth to get involved in it; secondly, in a short period of time, Caius The speed at which the relationship between Erce and Elizabeth has progressed is quite surprising, and it is understandable for parents to be wary of this.

Even the few people who knew the 'truth', Arthur really didn't expect that a summer vacation would make her and Caius so close, he knew her, Elizabeth's sense of self-protection was actually very strong, but now he completely trusted Caius Erce.

"Yes, but there's nothing to worry about." Elizabeth replied with a smile, understanding what Arthur meant.

The instructor re-drawn the range and recommended review books for them. Like last year, Morgana asked them to meet in the library today and every afternoon to prepare for the game together.

This was also the first time Arthur met Mordred, and their group was officially established.

"I've done the scouting, and everything else is fine. It is estimated that Antonio and Catherine's team will play us in the final school game." Morgana walked over like a gust of wind, and put down the big one she was holding in her hand. Stacking books, she said to Elizabeth, "But even if you don't go to her before that, Catherine will come to trouble you."

Elizabeth is inexplicable, what happened to her, Catherine?What's more, Catherine doesn't seem like someone who would be interested in this kind of academic competition. This girl has invested most of her time and passion in the cheerleading team.

"Why?...Is it still because of Philip?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

"What do you think?" Morgana helped Carrie, who was holding a stack of books, open the chair.

"You know the situation of our football team. Philip is basically going to Brandeis University... She needs a sufficiently bright resume to follow him." Arthur interrupted analysis with his chin resting in boredom.

"It's good to be selected by the school for a competition of the national quiz level." Morgana completed his words.

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows from Arthur's first sentence, and she still didn't put it down when Morgana finished speaking. She was even more confused when she heard them say, "So it's none of my business, she's coming to find I?"

"She originally wanted to join our team—after all, she is our relative, you must understand that, but..." Morgana gestured to her from the corner of her eye for Mordred, who was still wandering between the bookshelves.

So you think she opened the back door and took up her position, right?Elizabeth sighed, "Morgan, you can't do this, you're obviously happy if she can't come."

There was no intention of denying this at all, Morgana smiled openly, "I didn't say anything, it was leaked by other people I heard that day."

"What's the matter?" Elizabeth smoothed her hair impatiently, "If she wants to come to me, she can come, as long as she doesn't trouble Mordred."

Because of becoming the person next to the much-anticipated Pendragon twins, there has been a lot of gossip about Mordred recently.

Originally, in a big school like Cleveland, a small transfer student, neither handsome nor good at sports, Mordred is as inconspicuous as a drop of water melting into a river... But now there are even girls who are asking about him Whether he is single or not, he obviously thinks being his girlfriend is a good way to get into Arthur and Morgana's social circle.

Elizabeth felt a little sorry for this. It was not her intention to put Mordred on the cusp of the storm, but now that things have happened, there is no point in regretting anything.

It would be best if he could get the gold medal this time, so that despite some harassment and gossip, at least Mordred could get what he wanted and leave a brilliant mark on his college entrance file.

"That's all?" When Mordred finally found his bookshelves and came over to put the books down, Arthur patted the table and asked impatiently.

"Then... 3 books per person. The materials are the same anyway, and they've been put away for you." Morgana neatly distributed the books and handed each of them a portfolio.

The table was quiet for a while, only the sound of flipping books and opening portfolios. The knowledge points of the National Quiz Contest are numerous and detailed. Even if everyone only memorizes their own parts, it will be troublesome. The tasks of Elizabeth and Morgana must It's heavier, and they also look at other people's parts just in case.

For about an hour, everyone buried their heads in their books, and there were only some whispered conversations during the period.It wasn't until Elizabeth felt a little tired that she raised her head and looked around, her face was hot.

She was a little surprised to see that Arthur was so serious this time, because anyway, Elizabeth and Morgana wanted his share of something good, so last time he basically came to fish for points.Maybe it was Merlin, who became an associate professor at Cambridge at a young age, who gave him the motivation. Elizabeth looked at the back of Arthur's golden head and secretly smiled.

Deciding to change to another book, she casually touched the stack of materials on the left that were almost mixed with Mordred, and suddenly felt something cold and hard, metallic.

what?Elizabeth picked it up curiously, and found that it was actually a book. It looked very strange at first glance. The cover was made of metal, with some beautiful patterns engraved on it—but before she could take a closer look, Mordred Take the book over.

"This is my notebook." Seeing that Elizabeth was very curious, he quickly stuffed the book into his schoolbag and said sincerely.

"Oh..." Elizabeth felt that he wasn't telling the truth, but she always believed that everyone should have a little secret, so she didn't ask carefully.

"Do you think it looks unusual?" After an awkward silence, Mordred suddenly asked calmly.

Of course it's not ordinary, Elizabeth complained, this book looks like the surroundings of a museum, why ask her such an obvious question?

"I just think it's pretty, um, it has a lot of personality." Anyway, it's just a book, so she didn't worry about it anymore, she found her book and lowered her head to continue reading.

Their conversation caught Carrie's attention, and she looked up at Mordred strangely, but said nothing.

"...special is not a good thing," Mordred said in a thoughtful voice so soft that no one could hear it but himself, "I wish you thought it was ordinary."

At this moment, Arthur's watch suddenly beeped, and he raised his head as if waking up from a dream, but immediately reacted and announced to everyone at the table, "I'm here today, I have to go training."

"It's past 4 o'clock, and I should go home." Hearing what he said, Elizabeth couldn't sit still. She felt that the line of writing on her arm was a little itchy, and people couldn't help but want to scratch it. This feeling, which she attributes to the separation from Caius.

Morgana rolled her eyes helplessly, but didn't try to stop her. She smiled and asked Carrie and Mordred, "How about you, are you leaving now?"

"I'll stay a little longer and go with you." Carrie replied hastily. The recent war between Dmitry and her mother had exhausted her both physically and mentally. It's easy for a while in school.

"I'm leaving first too." Mordred started to clean up the table after finishing speaking. Elizabeth found that he was either staring at Morgana in a daze or deliberately avoiding her sight every time he spoke, but she was very polite to see through. Say it.

The result is that Arthur, Elizabeth, and Mordred leave together, Arthur parting ways with them as soon as they are out of the library, and Elizabeth and Mordred walking quietly and awkwardly through the corridors.

An even more unfortunate thing happened. They confronted Catherine and her sister group head-on. As soon as Catherine saw them, she led a group of people over aggressively.

Elizabeth looked helplessly at the school gate where she could already see the whole picture, blocking Mordred behind her.

"...I thought that was your boyfriend last time?" Facing Elizabeth's calm face, Catherine's aura suddenly shortened. I was justified, after all, if this Mordred hadn't jumped out suddenly and jumped in line, she should have been taken away in terms of seniority.

Is this kind of child's house-style provocation really interesting?Elizabeth didn't feel offended, but rather amused, "My new boyfriend's name is Caius," she introduced to Catherine pretending to be kind, "Maybe you are not well informed, this is Mordred who just transferred , my old friend, our new teammate."

"You!" Catherine lowered her folded arms.

The sun was about to set, and she didn't want to waste any more time here. Elizabeth tried to imitate Caius' usual intimidating attitude towards others, and said softly, "If you don't mind, we are going home." Guang glanced at Mordred and signaled him to follow, she walked towards Catherine and her friends slowly but imposingly, the girls involuntarily stepped back to make way for them.

"You didn't win the gold medal when Karl was here, do you think you can still win this time?" Catherine shouted angrily behind them.

In any case, it was not allowed for Elizabeth to attack her friend. She stopped and turned her head to look at Catherine. Her unconscious actions and demeanor were somewhat similar to Caius, which made Catherine involuntarily Shut up.

"We lost the gold medal last time because we missed one question correctly, Catherine." Elizabeth said coldly, "If you want to represent the school in the competition this time, don't waste your time here, just answer one more question correctly than us."
