Talented Flame

"Dingling, ringing, ringing—" I subconsciously looked up at Andy.

"It's not mine, baby." He turned his head to look at the phone he had thrown on the bed, and took it out of my pocket. "It's your phone."

Without even thinking about it, I knew that it was Nick who called to report his safety every day. I pushed Andy, and he let go of his arm a little. I just wanted to answer the phone, but he snatched it away.

"Hey……"

"Hey, what's the matter?"

There was no movement on the other end of the phone. It is estimated that Nick was surprised that a male voice answered the phone, checking to see if he made a mistake.

After a long time, Nick's uncertain voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is this Iris's phone?"

"Yes."

"Please give her the phone."

"She is inconvenient now, what can you tell me?"

I tried to wrest control of the phone from him, but was ruthlessly dismissed.Andy put a kiss on the top of my hair.

Well, it's not impossible to let him answer the phone, everyone is his, and it's okay to answer the phone.

"Is she training?"

"As I said, it's not convenient for her to answer your call. If you have anything to tell me."

"...Andy Struker?"

"Yes."

There was a brief silence on the phone and then an explosion at a super-high volume, "Get away from her!"

Andy pressed the hang up button without hesitation.

I felt the tense atmosphere and carefully observed his face.

As a result, a certain person's face was neither sad nor happy, and he flipped through the call records of my mobile phone with great peace of mind. After finding out that my only contact these days was Nick, he pressed the lock screen button of the mobile phone.

The hands on my waist tightened again. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I quickly explained: "Don't think too much, this is my cousin. You should have seen it in the underground organization before."

"You think I'm thinking too much?"

"No, no, no," I hurriedly deny, "I am, just explain, avoid misunderstanding."

Andy stopped talking, just hugged me quietly.

"Andy?"

"You've been away for so long, and you didn't even leave me a phone call." He hung his head on my neck and said sullenly, "Mom thinks you are in trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have left us just like that. Lauren first It was frustrating, but gradually got better."

"As for me, I only found out after you left that I couldn't even find out the reason why you left, except that I wasn't good enough to you and hid something from you."

"No, Andy. It's not because of that." I cupped his face and looked at him and said, "You're the best person I've ever met, and the person I love the most."

"But I'm not qualified to protect you, so you dare not tell me your secret." The boy's eyes were red, but no tears fell.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Andy. It's my fault." I smoothed the hair on his forehead. "I'll tell you what you want to know, okay?"

……

"So... you're from another world?"

"That's right. At that time, I didn't know that hairpins could shield mind readers, so..." I spread my hands, "I thought you were wearing them just like me."

"No, I just went back to the past, um... replayed it again. And when I told others about it before, I couldn't make a sound, and even hinted at it. "

"Huh? You didn't, I can hear you now."

"Only you, no one else before."

"So, Esme and the others shouldn't be able to read this part of your memory. Can you tell me... Maybe it's because I already knew."

"Well," Andy leaned closer to hug me again, "I really miss you."

"Hmph, you saw me so indifferent before."

"No, no, in fact, I visit you every night..."

I obviously lock the door every night? ? ?

"Andy, is that what I mean?" I seriously slapped off the hand he wanted to touch, "Don't try to get away with this matter, just answer me obediently."

"I destroyed the internal structure of the door lock..." The little wolf dog in front of him quickly transformed into a little milk dog at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Don't be angry, okay..."

Andy uses this trick every time he wants to achieve something, but I still like this trick, so I can only sigh and give up in the end. Such a cute boyfriend can only be left to him.

"Okay, from now on, don't sneak into my room at night again."

"Baby..." Andy stared at me with watery eyes.

"No, no Andy. It's not negotiable, honey."

"...Then I will store my phone number in it, and you will call me every day before going to bed."

"……This is acceptable."

……

I will not go to today's training. Andy's class has been completed, and the rest of the time is free to spend. This is the first time that the two of us have a chance to have a serious date, so Andy and I started planning to go What to do.

"Do you want to go to the movies?" Andy asked me.

"Oh...forget it," I remembered that I don't know which episode's prefix tells the story of Clarice, "Clarice was kicked out of town by the Purifiers because of the movie theater."

"Oh, that's not great. Next." He played with a lock of hair that fell on my chest. "How about a simple walk? We could go shopping, or eat a burger? What do you think?"

"Hmm...baby, you reminded me," I murmured, "I think there is one more thing you need to clarify first."

"what?"

"Although I really don't want to say this, but... you will not come back here because of her."

"Who?"

"Rebecca." I tried my best not to let my expression develop into a mean expression, "Actually, she should be with you if you come first, after all, I'm just from outside... What are you laughing at?"

Andy was holding my hand and leaning against the wall, and the big smile on his face declared his great mood, "I laugh at you for being jealous." He stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of my nose, the smile in his eyes was like The stars twinkle.

"Hey, don't make trouble, I'm helping you, in case you don't realize..." I backed away from his mocking gaze, and had to say, "...well, I'm just jealous. You... ...you two are..."

The soft touch on my lips told me that I was kissed again.

"Is it clear now?"

I pretended to be an ostrich and buried my head in his arms, "Then why did you come back?"

"I wanted to use the inner circle to find a real way to inhibit my dad's ability, and that's it."

"Really?"

"Really. Of course, I am very happy to meet you here."

I stopped talking, and slowly wrapped my arms around Andy's waist.

……

Until my phone rang again unsightly.

"Oh, I regret having such a phone now," I complained to him, "It has bothered us twice."

"Hey?"

Hearing my voice on the other side seemed to heave a sigh of relief, "Iris, what happened when I called you before? Why did that kid answer?"

"Nick, Andy's just answering the phone for me."

"What were you doing then?"

"...I just... um... I wasn't there at the time." I lied, after all, how could I tell my brother about kissing my boyfriend.

"Let me tell you, this kid is very fierce. He still hangs up on my phone. It's not as good as what you said. I don't think you should believe too much..."

"Nick," I stopped him. Normally, he would just tell me about Andy, but now that I'm here, it's not easy for him to say bad things. "Andy certainly didn't do it on purpose today..."

"Okay, you are still talking to him, who is your brother? Let me tell you, this person is very dangerous, you'd better..."

"...It's better to stay away from me?" Andy said with his arms around me, tilting his head into the microphone.

A loud voice erupted from the opposite side again, "Iris Olivers! What's going on here?"

Oh my God...

"Nick...well, listen to me..." I hurriedly broke away from the embrace of the person behind me, and gave him a slap in the face, thinking about how to smooth my brother's hair, "Andy..."

"Why is he with you?"

"She was in my arms just now." Andy came up and said in a non-surprised manner.

"Andy!" I quickly covered the microphone, but Nick had already heard it.I was so angry that I pushed Andy out of the door, and then it closed with a bang.

"..."

"Um, Nick...well, he's not with me now, you talk." I said awkwardly.

"...you are reconciled."

"Yes."

"Then no matter how much I say, you won't be able to listen to it... It's just that if you choose him, it will be more difficult to go next."

"I'm not afraid of difficulties. I joined the inner circle for him."

"Well, for your sake, I won't argue with that kid, but you don't want me to have a good attitude towards him."

"Hee hee, I'm satisfied if you two don't quarrel, I don't expect so much. Hey, what did you want to say on the phone?"

"Oh... Eth's illness is developing for the better, um... a lot of things in your bedroom were shrunk when she was sick... She said she was sorry."

"It's okay...you let her live in peace, the most important thing is her health."

Nick complied with me and told me not to let Andy climb into bed at night. I felt the temperature on my face rise and hung up the phone.

Belatedly, I discovered the fact that I had just kicked Andy out of his own room.

Oh god, he shouldn't be angry.

I hurriedly opened the door, and an Andy sat obediently by the door, blinking and admitting to me.

Andy, are you starting again?

"Andy." I looked at him dissatisfied.

"He actually asked you to stay away from me...I won't allow you to leave me again..." The boy's eyes gradually turned red, and his eyes were full of grievances.

Well, it was indeed my fault.

"I promise, I will never leave you in the future, okay?" I held his hand to reassure him, "I will always be with you."

"You can't leave me again."

"Well, I will always be with you."

Andy took my hand back, interlocking fingers.
