[Comprehensive British and American] Eternal Sunshine

Chapter 13 The First Fork in the Road

The big boy ran out of Xilai's house in a hurry, and passed by the elders without saying hello. He was still wearing short sleeves and no warm clothes.

Jonathan put down his work and put on his coat, ready to go out to see what happened to his son.

Silly pushed open the door of her room.

The little girl who hasn't gained much flesh in these years looks a little too slender as she pulls her body apart. Looking at her red eye sockets from a distance, she seems to have been bullied by someone. Mark was a little furious on the spot. It was still Miranda. Temporarily appease the runaway old father.

Martha worriedly grabbed the hand of Xilai who came downstairs: "What's the matter, did Clark bully you?"

Sealy withdrew his hand slowly, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, just because of a little disagreement about the school application, Clark said he felt a little hot and wanted to go out to cool off, it's nothing."

Go out to cool off this day?

Miranda, who didn't know the identity of Krypton Kid, disagreed very much, and signaled Mark and Jonathan to go out to find Clark together.

Clark didn't go far, and sat on the highest part of the corn field outside Sealey's house.He came out in such a hurry because he didn't know how to face Sealy. Intellectually speaking, he knew very well that Sealy hadn't contacted anyone named Clark Kent before him, and he didn't have any after that, but Xilai's behavior just now was really too strange...

The battered large dog was in a daze in the cold wind and heavy snow.

Maybe both he and Silly should calm down.

He thought so.

But when Clark was brought home by Jonathan and Mark, he saw Sealy greeted him with a sweet smile as if nothing had happened. The dices are square and square, and there is no difference in size.

He suddenly felt wronged.

When Martha asked him what happened, he couldn't help saying: "We broke up."

The entire dining table was silent.

Xilai was the first to react. She seemed to accept the result calmly, and explained to the elders obediently as usual: "Well, we just broke up, but we are still friends, nothing happened."

It's like breaking up isn't a big deal.

Clark suddenly got angry. He couldn't figure out what he was in Xilai's eyes. Why did he act as if he didn't care about him at all, as if he just took half a step back and hoped that she would move forward a little When it was time, she could calmly let go of his hand and accept his departure.

There is no reluctance, no complaints, not even a single bit of remembrance.

The originally lively Christmas dinner was quietly spent in silence, and the Kent couple couldn't stay for long after the two children made such a fuss. After the meal, they left Lynch's house with their son in the wind and snow.After tidying up the guest room, Miranda felt a little regretful, but she was more worried about the state of her precious daughter, the well-known daughter, Mo Ruomu. She saw more clearly than Mark that Xilai might not be as indifferent as she showed.

She is sad.

Miranda thought she could feel Siri's distress.

But if the child doesn't say anything, she can only give the child a hug and tell her that it's no big deal. There is still a long way to go in life, and there will be more and better possibilities in the future.

As soon as Lana returned to school, she noticed that there was something wrong between Sealy and Clark. It was the kind of Clark avoiding Sealy all the time. You must know that in her eyes before, it was Clark who wanted to stick to Sealy for 24 hours, and then asked. Knowing that these two people actually broke up!

They actually broke up!

For this reason, Lana called Lex on the phone for more than two hours to talk about the unbelievable thing, and Aunt Lang murmured for a long time about the little phone bill.

However, unlike Lana's opinion, Lex Luthor does not seem to be surprised that the two will break up.

Xi Lai, who returned to being single, experienced the life of going to and from school alone for the first time.

Even before she had no relationship, she had been with Clark all the time.Lana, who advertised as a good friend of Xi Lai, has been following Xi Lai recently, for fear that her good friend will not think of anything because of a broken relationship.

She was also the first to notice that Sirai was not the same as before.

How should I put it, I feel that Xie Lai who is not with Clark has become a bit illusory... It's not that Xie Lai is not good, but I feel that Xie Lai seems to be resisting getting along with others, even if Xie Lai's eyesight is the same as before. Lana still felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xilai when eating and participating in activities.

If you have to explain, you can only use a girl's intuition.

The university applications ended one after another in February. By the end of April, everyone basically got the offer from the school they wanted. Lana got the offer from the Metropolitan University majoring in media as she wished, and Peter also got the offer from the same school. The offer can continue to be sweet with his girlfriend in college. In addition, Lex also told Lana that he got an offer from the same school, which made Peter a little jealous—I don’t know why his girlfriend has a relationship with Lex Luthor. It's so good.

Silai didn't see Clark's offer, and Clark, who used to show her everything immediately, didn't even mention it to her.She knew very well that Clark was avoiding her. They didn't say a word in school, and the group study turned into writing their own things and handing them in.

Different from what you say to reassure the hearts of adults, can the lovers who broke up be the friends they used to be childhood sweethearts?

the answer is negative.

The weekend nearing the end of the semester has no burden of homework. The school will have a graduation dance next week. It can be regarded as the last serious gathering before graduation. The venue is set in the small auditorium of the school. Potato chips will fill every corner of the dance floor.

Miranda and Mark were going to the city to buy some things to donate to the school, and Xilai was going to go with them. Unfortunately, the night before, I don't know whether it was because the night wind blew my head or the fan was turned on. The little girl woke up in the morning. Grandpa Clint had a low-grade fever, and Grandpa Clint was admitted to the hospital because of a fall a few days ago, and now he is still living in the city, so it is obviously not feasible for him to take care of Xilai. .

In the end, Miranda asked Martha. Although the two children were a little embarrassed after breaking up, the friendship between the two mothers was not affected too much. Martha still liked the little girl Xilai very much, so Miranda please She accepted it without hesitation.

In order not to cause trouble for Martha, she, Miranda, and Mark drove Sealey to the Kent home early in the morning. They also knew that Clark had the last game on the football team this weekend. When they came back at night, they had time to pick up their daughter.

Who would have thought that the relationship between the two children who used to be so good is now causing such trouble.

The Kent family still has Sealey’s room, which is still opposite Clark. The sheets and bedding are all freshly dried. Martha prepared a hot water pot and cups for Sealey, as well as the medicine Miranda and the others brought, and closed the door. on.She told Sealy to pull the alarm bell on the wall if there was a problem. It was installed in every room after Jonathan had a fall in the house.

Xilai obediently listened to Martha's instructions, and retreated into the bed in a daze.

She likes it here.

While half asleep and half awake, Xi Lai heard some shrill and shrill screams, and the tone was like the little black eye they brought back when they were children.It's hard for a rabbit to make such a sound, and Xi Lai tried hard to concentrate before he could clearly hear what the guy who was fat enough to be twice as big as an ordinary rabbit was calling.

[Can't go out!Can't go out!There will be strong winds!will die!Can't go out! ]

It still couldn't fully express what it meant, and it took Xilai a long time to understand what it meant. Other animals said that there was a strong wind blowing in the afternoon, so they couldn't go out.

Through the window on the second floor, Xilai saw Uncle Jonathan packing up the pickup at home, apparently about to go out.

Can't let Uncle Jonathan have an accident.

Sealy immediately pulled the cord that rang the alarm bell.

……

The scene of an adult girl hugging her gray-haired grandfather and not letting go to call her father was a bit funny, so Martha couldn't help laughing out loud.In her mind, maybe the disease made the little girl a little dependent on her father. It was nothing important for Jonathan to go out today, so she might as well go another day, but she had to call Miranda and the others. High, she'd have to ask Miranda if she wanted to take Ciley to the hospital.

The reply given by the Lynchs was that they would come back as soon as possible, and Martha would please take care of them first.

Seeing that Jonathan gave a sigh of relief to Xilai who had no intention of going out again, he took back the look that he had been playing tricks all the time, it was okay to hug Uncle Jonathan for a while, but it would be unseemly if he kept hugging Uncle Jonathan and didn't let go.

Since Martha went to call Miranda and the others, Jonathan took on the responsibility of taking care of the minor patients. The old father whose son had never been sick couldn't help being a little flustered, and he was relieved when he saw Martha came back.

"Have you called Mark and the others?" Jonathan asked.

Martha nodded, and wanted to help Xilai get up and take the medicine first, but when she heard Martha calling her parents, Xilai's expression was terrified, as if she had received some great stimulation.

The sick girl staggered away from Martha and rushed out of bed, picked up the landline and started calling her parents non-stop.

But can't get through.

The Lynchs, who were worried that their daughter was going back in a hurry, accidentally left their brick-like mobile phone in the shopping cart outside the supermarket. At this time, the busy tone rang alone but no one could answer it.

Xi Lai pulled herself together, trying to hear the voices of the children from the wind.

A hurricane is coming.

And her parents are likely already on that dangerous road.

When Martha rushed out following Xi Lai who ran all the way out, she saw the little blond girl kneeling on the cold stone road of their house.

"Clark!"

She heard the little girl calling her son's name.

"Please help them! I know you can hear!"

"Clark! Please!!!"

She was kneeling and prostrating like the craziest believer.

The author has something to say: I feel that my life is in danger today because of the double sword...

Believe me, I will come back soon, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
