Welcome to Forge Town

As Simon said, Miranda brought up the Christmas party discussion proposal in the afternoon meeting.

At such moments, Allen would always sit in the far corner of the room, choosing to remain neutral and watch everything—so this time it was Nicole Vance who took the lead.She is a representative of the opposition, and she has long believed that such activities are all bloody troubles, and of course she took the brunt of expressing her firm position.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pearson, who was supposed to be another iron ticket, played a trick of defection at this critical moment.Judging from the conversation at noon, it is not ruled out that this guy has ulterior motives between friendship and teddy bear costumes.Become a typical example of forgetting friends after seeing sex, making Nicole jump in anger.

But to be honest, among all the staff's statements, it was Meg Duris who surprised Allen the most.Because no one expected that she, who was most likely to be against it, would be the first to agree to Miranda's proposal.

"The town is too boring recently, it's not a bad thing to have some fun." Holding the teacup, Meg said calmly. "Besides, I haven't been to the party for a long time... it's time to participate." She looked at the fine ripples on the water and whispered.Perhaps it was the steaming mist that diluted her facial features, making her always sharp face much more peaceful than usual.

But after Meg finished speaking, the originally lively place suddenly fell silent.Allen still didn't understand the situation, so he cast his eyes on the people around him, only to see Miranda and Nicole also showing surprised expressions.Even Simon, who had the most sloppy attitude, suppressed the smile in his eyes.

After a long silence, Miranda smiled. "Yeah, it's time to get involved." She raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly.

In short, this grand event was booked in such a haste.

This result undoubtedly satisfied Miranda. She told a few jokes one after another to warm up the scene, and even brought out her collection of tea leaves for everyone to taste—although Allen was still ignorant of the sudden change in the weird atmosphere, it might as well Let him immerse himself in the elegant tea fragrance, and he will not pursue it deeply.

After drinking tea, Miranda quickly ended the meeting.Now that the event has been decided, she has to quickly draw up an itinerary and contact the relevant workers to let them come to arrange the venue as soon as possible.It was quite a complicated job, but listening to the brisk sound of her heels when she left, anyone could easily see her joyful mood and determination to hold the ball with unprecedented grandeur.

After Miranda left, Nicole left first.With a gloomy look on her face, she planned to go to church before going home.In addition to repenting for my ignorance, I also prayed to the supreme God to bless the event with safety and success.

Then there was Meg.She didn't live in the dormitory before, so of course there was no need to wait to go with Simon and Allen.But when she left this time, she no longer kept silent, but said goodbye to the two of them rarely.Allen was flattered by his gentle appearance.

Then Allen discovered that he and Simon were the only ones left at the scene.What an embarrassing occasion!On the way back to the dormitory, Alan, who was calm on the surface, thought painfully.

I don't know why Simon was so abnormal today, he kept silent all the way, and walked unhurriedly.Allen could only look at the scenery, pretending not to care.But the slight heat coming from side by side, and the constant clamor and reluctance to keep a low profile.

I don't know if it's related to Stockholm syndrome, and Alan, who has a social disorder, doesn't know where to start. He misses Simon's boring dirty jokes, at least not like being frozen in indifference and suffering every second of his colleagues.I believe that if this embarrassment can be turned into tangible pressure, it will definitely crush him into a thin piece of paper in an instant.

"By the way, your question at noon hasn't been answered yet, right?" Simon suddenly said when he was about to arrive.

This made Allen, who had already touched the gate of the courtyard, a little taken aback. "Sorry?" He thought the round was over.

"Brandon. Something like that." Stopping in front of the courtyard of the two, Simon said, "Don't you think this is a strange thing? A man of unknown origin, no one in the town knows him well, But he seems to know everything...it's really unreasonable, isn't it?"

After opening the door of his own courtyard, Simon turned his gaze to Allen's house - the white door was still closed, making it impossible to see what was inside.However, Simon's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through those barriers and see the person hidden inside.

"Alan," Simon said softly, looking at the door, "have you ever thought about what if those cases were not accidents?"

■

Brandon was doing pull-ups in the living room when Allen opened the door.

Allen has seen things like pull-ups in "Green Arrow".At that time, he once suspected that apart from hanging steel wires, this kind of thing could only be done by a strong orangutan.

So when Brandon demonstrated in front of his eyes, the visual effect was undoubtedly shocking.Especially in this cold weather, Brandon still only wore a black vest as if he was not afraid of the cold.The knotted muscles of the upper body are fully exposed, and they look golden because of the sweat.As a result, you cannot doubt that every inch of them is bound to release the best explosive power at the necessary moment.

But the shock didn't last long, and Allen immediately discovered another even more shocking thing.

"Brandon, you bloody bastard...you actually broke my beam!" Allen asked while standing at the door of the room holding a wooden stick, and asked with red eyes.

He found the broken stick in the kitchen 10 minutes ago, and he hadn't noticed anything unusual at that time.It wasn't until he walked into the room that "originally" belonged to him and was about to clean up the environment, that he "coincidentally" saw that the thinner beams next to the bookshelf had disappeared, which made him finally connect the two things.

Hell, no one told him that Brandon wasn't just an alcoholic gorilla, he was a gangster!This made Allen very angry.If he had known that Brandon would start destroying the world as soon as he left the room, he would never have persuaded that guy to leave that barrier!

But no matter how Alan expressed his dissatisfaction, the perpetrator Brandon still had that irrelevant expression: "Don't be nervous, little Alan, I checked it for you. The position of the beam is not particularly important. It's harmless—of course, the premise is that nature doesn't counterattack to the extent that even country E has a tornado." He comforted, with a rare peace of mind.At the same time, he insisted on finishing the last pull-up, and then he let go and returned to the surface of the earth.

Oh, correction: Brandon didn't immediately make it back to the surface.Before he officially touched the surface, he was treading on someone's rare book on the soles of his shoes.He frowned and moved his foot away.Well, a bad book, famous AW.Looking at the dirty footprints on the white paper, Brandon thought seriously: such a thick and smelly thing, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even use it as a stepping stone.

Allen quickly pulled back the book on the ground. "Please, you'd better go back to your room and have a drink." He almost begged, feeling that his recent life had been kidnapped by Satan.

"You can't blame me this time. There is a problem with your space storage." Looking out the window, Brandon frowned and said, "By the way, who is that person outside?"

Allen froze for a moment: "Oh, you mean Simon? ——my colleague, the one who teaches classical English or other foreign languages." He explained.They had only mentioned Simon last time, and Allen thought Brandon should know who he was referring to.

Brandon's brows were still deeply furrowed, but he didn't say anything else. He turned and walked into the kitchen: "You seem to be in a good relationship?" He took out a basin of milkshake from the refrigerator and asked while scooping it up.However, no matter how immature Brandon is, the picture of a tall man nearly two meters holding a bowl of sweets is always a bit ridiculous.

But Allen still couldn't laugh. "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, at least I don't intend to live alone," he said pointedly, snatching the milkshake from Brandon impatiently. "Don't keep eating this junk, Brandon. There's a masquerade at school this Saturday, so you'll have to at least learn how to cook the basics to make sure you don't starve to death," he babbled like a mother.

"Pearson will go too?"

"Of course. He is also a faculty member." Allen frowned, wondering why Brandon always talked about him today.

"Then I have to go too." Brandon said of course. "Don't worry, I won't take away your style. You can still play to your heart's content, such as dressing up as My Little Pony (#Note) or something." He said with a smile.

Seeing Brandon's unflattering smile, Allen's temples bulged, but his doubts were relieved from the bottom of his heart-those doubts caused by Simon's earlier words.Indeed, seeing this older child who lives impatiently and always loves to challenge his own bottom line, how could he harbor any ulterior motives?

Allen has never been a conspiracy theorist, and now he hopes that everything can get back on track as soon as possible.He just wants to live like an ordinary person.
