[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

The strange atmosphere returned to silence again. Ellie glanced at Peter and then at Dolores, and gradually had a bold idea in her heart.

...But to be honest, she is so angry now, she didn't have the heart to care about anything at first, she just wanted to eat a lot and then sleep in the dark, but now she avoids and is sensitive to things like love Too much, especially when it comes to Dolores, she wakes up from her self-defeating mood, and her dull brain starts to turn again.

So she sniffled and said to Dolores, "I'm so hungry now..."

Dolores was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to get something to eat, but Ellie grabbed her arm and shook her head weakly: "Don't look, the refrigerator is empty, only expired milk."

Peter stood up at attention: "I'll go buy it! You guys continue chatting."

As soon as he was about to leave in a hurry, Ellie saw his intentions and shook Dolores' hand: "No, Dolly knows which restaurant is the best around here. Eat a meal, the kind that doesn't count the calories."

Dolores looked at her with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "Uh...you mean the restaurant with super cheese hamburger? Aren't you going to work tomorrow??"

Ellie shook her head expressionlessly: "I don't care anymore, I just want to eat foods with explosive calories... and the dessert shop next door, buy more sweets, I want to indulge myself."

She took out a credit card and stuffed it into Dolores' hand. Dolores pushed her credit card back, shook her head, bent down and kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Okay, I understand." , I’ll buy it for you, eating more sweets is good for your mood.”

Looking at Ellie, who was rarely taken care of by her, Dolores looked very tolerant. She turned around and whispered to Peter, "I'm going to take care of her."

She didn't notice that Peter's face changed drastically immediately, even a little frightened, and she turned around very neatly and went out the door.

"No..." Peter stretched out his retaining right hand towards her back, and then put it down silently.

The sight behind him suddenly became fiery and made him feel nervous. He heard the rustling sound of Ellie getting up from the sofa, and he turned around suddenly in shock, stunned and didn't know what to say.

Ellie put on her slippers and straightened up slowly. The exhausted appearance that she had just curled up on the sofa disappeared immediately. The tall and thin model, about 1.8 meters tall, stretched out at this moment, although she was wearing a loose and sloppy home sweater , but the momentum that crushed the audience had an unreasonable effect on Peter.

There was no expression on her face, her eyes were still red, and she stared at him coldly with drooping eyelids, which made people feel creepy.

Peter hadn't seen many models, but he was sure Ellie was the only one with such a strong aura.

He barely looked at her at the same level, oh, she was much more kind when he saw her in school last time, and as a young boy, he had to look up at Ellie a little at that time, it seems that the results of these days of training not only let him He's got better skills, and maybe he's grown a little taller, maybe he'll be taller than her soon...

Peter's mind was blank, and at this moment he was thinking wildly about how tall he would eventually grow.

"You, sit down."

Ellie pointed her finger at him, and Peter sat down following her fingertips in a daze, looking up at her.

She withdrew her hand and looked at Peter's obedient behavior, staring at her stupidly with those brown eyes, as if she saw a second Dolly, innocent and cute.

"...Wait!"

With complicated emotions, she coldly dropped two words, turned and went back to the room.

Damn, did you learn this trick from Dolly? !

Ellie closed the door a little irritable, went to the washroom, washed her face in cold water, changed into decent clothes, tidied her hair, and went back aggressively with a new look.

During this short period of time, Peter should have come to his senses, and he knew what he was about to face next. He changed his sitting posture nervously, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took several deep breaths. When Ellie reappeared, all his preparations were scrapped, and he leaned on the sofa in horror, waiting for Ellie to speak.

Ellie cleared her throat, and saw him take a sharp breath as if he was about to suffocate, and immediately clenched his hands on his lap.

"..."

This unlucky boy.Ellie immediately rolled her eyes, and was not going to torture anymore, she turned her head and waved her hands.

"...I don't ask you if you like her anymore. I can't see that I'm an idiot when you look like this."

Peter keenly noticed the change in Ellie's tone, which became helpless and even soft, and his tense spirit relaxed a little bit. He looked at her and smiled dryly: "Is it so obvious?"

Ellie sneered, and crossed her hands on her chest: "I'm not a little girl like Dolly who has never been in a relationship." There was a mess of men's items on the restaurant table behind her.

Peter didn't want to touch this topic again, and said with some embarrassment: "I...maybe you have something to say?"

"of course."

Ellie leaned on the sofa and looked at him sensitively: "It seems that you think that because I broke up with my boyfriend, I will have a similar attitude towards Dolly's feelings, such as telling her that men can't be trusted and never fall in love. Something like that, right?"

Peter knew that he should firmly deny this, but he looked at Ellie and met those sharp eyes that shone brightly. He could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "It's not..."

Well, he was a little worried, but the main thing was that Ellie should be very sad now. He didn't want to speak impassionedly about how much he liked Dolores in front of a girl who had just been betrayed by her boyfriend. It's because he can't be so straightforward, and the second is that he respects Ellie and feels sorry for her as well.

Ellie folded her arms and turned her head, closed her eyes distractedly, as if something particularly troubled her, her brows were tightly frowned, then, she bent down and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the coffee table drawer , looking at Peter: "Do you mind?"

Peter shook his head reflexively, but he was really surprised, and sighed silently. Ellie was only one year older than him, and she looked like an adult in terms of appearance and mentality.

With a cigarette in her mouth, Ellie lit it with a lighter, but she stood up and walked to the window, and pushed it open.

Her brows were always furrowed, she leaned against the window lattice, the smoke came out of her mouth, and was quickly blown away by the breeze.

Peter seemed to have some hunch in his heart that she must say something very important.

"You must think I have something to say about your attempt to court Dolly," Ellie said.

Her face was always turned out of the window, looking down at the street below.

"Actually, I would be very happy if she could have a relationship or something." Ellie turned to look at him with a faint smile on her lips.

"I don't know you very well, Peter, to be honest, but I think you should be a good boy, and Dolly has grown up, I always feel like she has a special ability to tell who is really good to her That person, the one she chooses, she never misses, and Dolly will have a special feeling for those kind people, and never misses it." Ellie smiled, with a cigarette between her fingers, and some memories of the past appeared on her face Nostalgic look.

"She liked me the first time she saw me, and I have always liked her very much, and the people she has been with since she was a child, whether they are friends or elders, everyone is very good, everyone likes her very much, she Basically everyone loves it."

A smile could not help appearing on Peter's face, yes, Dolores has always been a particularly pleasing girl.

"You know, her family is very rich, and her uncle Mars Toland is a powerful businessman, and the hotel business of Toland's family is very good." Ellie took a deep breath of cigarette, and then followed the words Slowly spit out: "My family took me to the reception held by Toland's house. At that time, there were many children from rich families. Some of them were warned by their parents to make friends with Dolly. Those older children were all like theirs. Parents are just as obnoxious and pretty, pretty hypocritical.

They flattered Dolores like a star, what's interesting is that this girl couldn't understand at all, she could tell who was sincere like instinct, those people scared her, and she would avoid them , there is no need to worry about her being used by others. "

When Ellie said this, she burst out laughing.

Peter was a little confused, so what did she say about her liking for Dolores?

Ellie immediately changed the topic: "But there is one exception, there is a person, he is the one Dolly cares about the most, but I think he doesn't like her very, very much."

She paused, with a sad look on her face, looked at Peter and said softly: "Her uncle, Mars Tolland, is Dolly's only remaining relative, but he is very cruel to her, I sometimes Even think he kind of hates her."

Peter's eyes widened silently, a little dumbfounded.

"You know, Dolly's parents are gone."

"I...I know, she told me." Peter nodded.

"Dolly's mother and her sister were actually married to two brothers from the Toland family, so Mars was actually her uncle, but he married her mother's sister later." Ellie said.

Peter looked at her in surprise. Did the two brothers marry a pair of sisters?

He sensed something was wrong: "Toland? Dolly should have been named Toland, right? But her name is Green now, why?"

Ellie shook her head: "I don't know, but Green is her mother's and her aunt's last name."

Peter was confused, Ellie waved her hand casually: "That's not important, anyway, Dolly's parents died when she was a baby, and only her aunt and uncle were left to take care of her, but it is said that not long after, her aunt died too."

This is really too bad, Peter was silent and listened to Ellie continue: "She was probably only one year old at the time, I don't know what kind of mentality Mr. Toland is in, he has always been very alienated from Dolly, he has never been with her She grew up, worked overseas all the time, left Dolly at Tolland Manor, and was looked after by Mr. Ruby, the housekeeper. I've known her since I was seven years old, and before that, Dolly was always at home, very lonely, always one person.

Later, after we met, she followed me like a little tail. We went to the boarding school together. On the first day of school, Dolly seemed very withdrawn and out of gregarious, because she had hardly gotten along with her peers before that. Experience, crying a lot, but soon, she will make friends, and even enjoy it.I thought it was a good thing, but soon I discovered that the way she makes friends is to constantly test other people's preferences, and then package herself into what others like, always following what others say, even if she doesn't Like it, and pretend to be interested. "

Peter's heart sank, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Do you know why she is like this? It's because of Mr. Toland. In order to make him like herself, Dolly has learned a lot of things, such as musical instruments, dancing, singing, etc. She tried hard to please him, but he never Be indifferent to Dolly, she's just a little girl and she needs love."

Ellie shook off a piece of soot, narrowed her eyes, and recalled the immature and timid little girl she used to be.

"It took me a long time to make her realize that she doesn't need to please people who don't matter, that even if she doesn't pretend she likes something she doesn't like, there are a lot of people who love her."

She looked at Peter again, the smoke blurred her outline, but there was no doubt that there were tears in Ellie's eyes: "I told you before, she is always popular, and many people like her because Her most important relatives didn't give her enough love, so she can only find it by herself, the only way is to make herself more pleasing, so she always seems so enthusiastic, trying hard to make herself like everyone that way, so that she can be liked by everyone, never be alone, never be alone again."
