[Twilight] Amis

Lyra and Edward finally agreed to meet at one o'clock in the afternoon.

It takes about an hour to drive from Forks to Port of Angels, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. After arriving at Port of Angels, the two of them split up to buy the things they need. It shouldn't take her two hours. Edward... She silently gave more He added an hour, so he should be back before dinner—that's how Laila planned.

Edward arrived 10 minutes earlier than the appointed time.

The silver Volvo was as dazzling as its owner, and it was parked downstairs shinyly, with Edward leaning handsomely by the door.Today he was wearing a white T-shirt, a large dark blue jacket with black trim, and a pair of black slacks. He looked youthful and handsome.

When Laila came out, his eyes paused for a moment on her, and the smile that was already on the corner of his mouth seemed to grow deeper.

Laila looked down at herself strangely—she was wearing a dark blue long slim top and her usual jeans today. Both the clothes and trousers were washed clean, and the buttons and zippers that should be buttoned and zippered were all clean. where they should be.

There's nothing wrong with that, she thought, shaking her head to put her doubts behind her.

Riding in a vampire's car requires a strong heart. To put it bluntly, one is not afraid of death.

——Laila glanced at the astonishing number displayed on the speedometer, and then at Edward, who had his hands casually resting on the steering wheel, obviously not paying attention to the road, and was filled with emotion.

"What are you thinking?" Edward turned to her and asked.

"I was wondering, how many tickets do you get every month?" she answered honestly.

Edward laughed, and the laughter was like a flowing note, joyful and full of charm.

"Never, here—" After a while, he stopped laughing, pointed his slender index finger to his forehead, "built-in radar detector."

Laila said "oh".

"Then," after a pause, he suggested, "after we get there later, let's go buy you a laptop first, and then—"

"Wait," Lyra interrupted, "you want to go shopping with me?"

"Otherwise?" Edward raised an eyebrow.

"I think it would be more efficient if we split up."

"I think—" he said unhurriedly, "maybe you'd need someone on hand to give advice, and I happen to do some research on laptops and such, would be more efficient, wouldn't it? ’ He looked at her and smiled.

Laila realized that she really lacked understanding of the ever-changing electronic products in this world, so she no longer refused.

Port Angel is a small and exquisite scenic spot, compared with the monotonous and gloomy Forks, at least in appearance, it looks much more beautiful and interesting.

When the silver Volvo drove past the coastal area, Laila rolled down the window and looked at the sightseeing boulevard along the shore for a while, where many tourists wearing brightly colored costumes stood.

"Do you want to go there and have a look?" Edward, who had been paying attention to Laila's every move, slowed down and asked.

Lila shook her head resolutely. She had heard Catherine say that the coastal area of ​​Port Angel is a place wearing a mask of tourist supremacy.

With Edward's help, the two efficiently solved the laptop problem, and then headed straight to a large department store.

When the salesperson saw Edward, her big eyes with colored contact lenses immediately burst into bright light. She greeted him attentively, with a hint of charm in her smile.

Leila found that she was a transparent person in the eyes of the salesperson.

She looked at Edward who was being served attentively by the salesperson for a while, and felt that she had nothing to do, so she took a magazine from the shelf and sat on the sofa to read it.

But Edward obviously didn't think so. Every time he tried on a piece of clothing, he would ask her for her opinion, directly ignoring the compliments from the lady salesperson at the side.

Laila felt that since the other party asked sincerely, she should also give advice honestly and tactfully, so the following dialogue occurred:

Edward: "How about this one?"

Laila: "Well...it makes you look a little like a flip phone." The implication: the upper body is as long as the lower body.

Miss salesperson: "..." She just praised that this dress made Edward's figure look more attractive.

Edward: "This one?"

Laila: "If you were ten years older..." The implication: look old.

Miss salesperson: "..." She just praised that this dress is full of youthful and fashionable atmosphere.

Edward: "Where are these jeans?"

This time, after staring at the trousers for a while, Laila asked slowly, "Aren't they really second-hand?"

I saw a lot of holes on the pair of jeans, and the bottom of the trousers was covered with dots of paint that looked like paint.

"It's popular! It's popular!" The salesperson finally couldn't help but ran away.

Laila blinked.

"You like the style?" she asked Edward.

"No." He answered honestly.He just felt the need to make this impromptu excuse for buying clothes to drive her to Port Angel look real-in fact, the clothes of their family have always been taken care of by Alice, and he didn't need to buy them himself. Clothes, plus enjoying the shopping process with Laila, it gave him the illusion that they were a couple, so he pretended to try on clothes.

"Actually, I think this one is pretty good. I don't know if you like it or not." Laila picked up the magazine she was reading just now, pointed to one of the pages and said to Edward.

After taking a look, Edward asked the salesperson without looking back: "Do you have this style in your store?"

"Yes... this is the latest model of our store this spring." The salesperson introduced weakly.

"Is there a size that fits me?"

"Yes, sir."

The salesperson lady brought the clothes, and Edward tried them on and they fit just right.

"That's all." He made a final decision.

"Do you really like this style?" Laila asked in surprise, not expecting that her suggestion would be adopted by the other party.

"I think," he smiled, "we just happen to have the same taste in clothes."

Edward, who bought the right clothes, seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and the curvature of his mouth showed no signs of diminishing.

Laila glanced at him quietly, then again, and couldn't help sighing secretly:

He is so happy after only buying one piece of clothing, what a child who is easily satisfied...

It was still early when we left the clothing store, Edward coughed lightly, and was about to speak, but found that Lyra's attention seemed to be attracted by something.He followed her gaze and found that it was a poster.

A promotional poster for a movie.

On the poster, the hero is leaning over and hugging the heroine's slender waist, gazing affectionately at the heroine, while the heroine leans back and looks back with a little shyness. The whole picture resembles a classic pas de deux.

"This is a very popular romance movie recently, do you want to watch it?" Edward looked down at Lila.

"Romance movies..." Laila looked at the male protagonist in the poster, and a trance flashed across her eyes.

The male protagonist also has a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, very much like someone. Once, he always looked at her with affectionate eyes, but she didn't understand. Later, she finally understood, but...

Laila closed her eyes and replied stiffly, "No, I never watch romance movies."

The smile on Edward's lips faded little by little.

He clearly noticed the scene where Lila was lost in front of the hero on the poster, and the complicated tone and eyes when she said the word "love" just now.Those girls who have never experienced love mostly have a curious and ignorant longing when they talk about this topic, and a very small number of them have no interest or even disdain.And Leila's performance was none of those things.

In the past, he only found it difficult to get into Laila's heart, because Laila had a sense of distance from everyone in her bones, as if she was just wandering in this world instead of blending into it.If you want her to put herself in her heart, she must manage carefully step by step, so that she can get used to her existence unconsciously, and then develop dependence and affection on herself.

It never occurred to him that she might already have someone else in her heart.

For a while, Edward felt flustered and irritable. He originally planned to find a suitable reason to invite Laila to dinner after shopping. He knew that there was a restaurant in Port Angel whose chicken dishes were very popular. After dinner, we went for a walk, Looking at the night scene or something, but now I have no interest.

In Laila's eyes, the face of someone who was smiling just a moment ago suddenly darkened. She felt strange, but she didn't care too much, because she thought Edward was a vampire with a strange personality and uncertain weather. .

So, the two drove all the way back to Fox in a dull atmosphere.

The author has something to say:
