At around ten o'clock in the evening, the lights of Sheriff Swan's house were still on, and the orange light spilled out of the house through the glass windows, bright and warm.

Laila stood in the shadow cast by the small two-story house, slightly raised her head and looked inside.

There is the sound of the TV and the sound of water flowing from the house. It seems that one of the people inside is watching a football game, and the other is washing things or taking a bath?

After a while, the sound of the water stopped, and someone came down the stairs with a thud, and then she heard Bella's voice.

"Cha—Dad, I will go to the supermarket to buy some food tomorrow, and there is not much stock in the refrigerator. Do you have anything you want to eat?"

"Has the food in the refrigerator run out so quickly?" It was Charlie's voice, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, especially the fish, which are dangerously scarce—" Bella replied in a serious tone, "we only have two or three years left in stock."

"You can survive, Bella." Charlie laughed, and then said, "Just buy some food you like. You know, I don't have any special preferences except fried fish."

Bella seemed to be muttering something, but she didn't catch it.

"By the way, how about steak and baked potatoes for dinner tomorrow, with a green salad?"

"Sounds great," Charlie agreed.

Next, the two people inside said goodnight to each other, and then the sound of footsteps on the stairs sounded again.

Lyra's figure moved suddenly.

She remembered that the room on the west side of the second floor facing the front yard was Bella's bedroom.

In an instant, the place where she was originally was empty.

At this time, Bella had just closed the bedroom door, and when she turned around, a thin necklace suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. At the bottom of the necklace was a large and pure moonstone, which was moving back and forth regularly. swinging...

Lyra saw that Bella's eyes quickly became dazed, and she knew it was time, so she merged the power of light into her voice, and said bewitchingly: "Forget everything you saw in the gym on the snowy day ...Remember, the Karen family are ordinary humans..."

The hypnotism of the Yamis family works very quickly on ordinary humans, and it is difficult to be broken by anti-hypnosis methods.

When this was done, Lyra jumped out of the window as silently as she had come.

The street at night is very quiet, and the street lamps are sparsely emitting a faint light.

Too bad you can't see the stars.

Laila looked at the cloudy sky above her head, and sighed with some regret.

To be honest, she didn't understand why she went to Bella's house to falsify people's memories in a flash of enthusiasm. Maybe it was because she had a feeling of sympathy for the Karen family, or maybe it was because Edward took the initiative to help the family last time. She looked up some information, so she felt that she should repay him, although the information was not actually useful...

Laila thought wildly for a while, kicking the gravel on the road with her toes.

There is some distance between Bella's house and her current residence. Her residence is near the school.

Oh, gone astray.

Retracting her right foot, which accidentally stepped on the mud beside the road, Laila moved to the left.Her pace is unhurried, walking in a straight line for a while, and a curve for a while, and she seems to be enjoying herself very much.

Huh?She stopped suddenly and narrowed her eyes.

A tall shadow appeared not far ahead, it seemed to have also spotted her, and after a pause, it picked up speed and floated towards her.

Oh, Piao!

——Laila really wanted to call out so happily, but although the light of the street lamp was dim, she quickly recognized—that shadow was actually one of the protagonists she had just imagined, Edward Cullen.

It seems like I accidentally cast a summoning spell...

The black-haired girl thought silently.

"It's so late, why are you still outside alone." Edward floated, ah no, he ran to her side, under the light, his handsome brows were slightly frowned, his tone was sullen and worried secretly.

Laila pointed at him, "Aren't you also outside alone."

Edward's forehead twitched.

"...I'm different from you, I'm—" When he said this, his voice suddenly stopped, "a man."

"I know we're not the same gender." Lila looked at Edward with a look of "Isn't this an obvious fact?"

Edward: "..."

"In short—" He took a deep breath, "The law and order in Fox is not as good as you imagined, you are a girl, in case you encounter bad guys or wild beasts..." He didn't continue.

In fact, if you really encounter bad guys, you don't know who attacked whom.

Too bad she couldn't tell him that.

So Laila nodded and said, "I see."

Edward was satisfied, "I'll take you back." He said without refusing.

There seems to be something wrong... Lyra walked behind Edward, feeling a little puzzled, what is it?

"Huh?" She suddenly remembered, "Edward, how do you know where I live?"

That's right, that's what she felt was wrong. Ever since he said he wanted to send her back, he never asked for her address, nor asked her to lead the way, as if it was his own home.

Edward, who was walking in front, paused, and a look of embarrassment seemed to flash across his face, but because the light was too dim, Laila couldn't see it clearly.

"I...cough," he cleared his throat, and answered with pretended composure, "actually, the whole town knows where you live. You know, Forks is very special to every newcomer. focus on."

It was true, too, that Laila had no doubts about him.

A certain vampire breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

"By the way," he suddenly remembered an important matter, "Have you found your dance partner yet?"

When he asked this question, he intentionally made his tone sound casual, but only he knew that he was actually a little nervous.

"What?" Laila looked up at him, bewildered.

"Partner," Edward repeated.

Laila was still dazed.

"You...you don't know about the spring dance, do you?" Edward realized that he had guessed right, and said a little bit dumbfoundingly, "Have you never paid attention to the school's bulletin board? On the third Saturday in March, the high school will hold A spring dance."

prom……

Laila's expression was in a trance for a moment, and a scene from a long time ago suddenly appeared in her mind.

……

In the evening, the sky is filled with rays of light.

On the other side of the lawn is a large building with a three-story crystal roof. There are people coming and going, which is very lively, which is in stark contrast to the quietness on this side.

The little black-haired girl sat alone on the side of the lawn, pulling weeds once in a while, occasionally glanced at the crystal-roofed building, sighed, then lowered her head and continued weeding, the grass around her became bald after a while lock up.

Her appearance has grown a lot, the baby fat has faded from her chin, her figure has been raised, she has become slender, and she has begun to show an exquisite curvature.

"The grass must have offended our little princess." A smiling voice came.

The little girl's eyes lit up.

In this world, there is only one person who can call her "little princess" in such a doting tone.

"Why are you here alone? The dance is about to begin." The silver-haired man sat down beside her and asked, rubbing her head.

The little girl pouted unconsciously, "I'm not going to the dance."

"why?"

"I don't have a suitable dress." She said sullenly, not expecting the silver-haired man to laugh when he heard this.

The little girl immediately widened her eyes and threw herself on the man in dissatisfaction, "Ah, you are still laughing! Are you happy that I went to the ball without a dress?"

"Oh," the man shook his head with a smile, "I've expected it a long time ago, look what this is—" he said, taking out a bright and colorful dress from behind like magic.

"Liu Guang!" The little girl exclaimed in surprise.

Although "Liuguang" is not a unparalleled treasure in the world, it is also a relatively rare treasure.

It is woven from the thinnest and softest hairs on the heads of a hundred moon eclipse beasts, mixed with fog grass fibers. Among them, the moon eclipse beast is a rare defensive magical creature, and the main defensive attributes are its body. Fluff, therefore, "streamer" can offset 5% of the damage, and it can also automatically adjust the temperature, which can be described as warm in winter and cool in summer.

Some of the treasures of the Amis family are kept and approved for use by the high priest, and "Liuguang" is one of them.

Thinking of this, the little girl smiled and glanced at the people next to her, and said jokingly, "High Priest, do you count yourself as a fake public servant?"

The man raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll take it back." After saying that, he pretended to take "Liuguang" from the little girl's hand.

The little girl stopped his "devil's claws" with a smile.

"No?"

"No." She hugged the skirt tightly and shook her head, "You've already lent it to me just now, there's no reason to take it back when you just gave it to someone."

"Oh, well..." He seemed to compromise helplessly, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him, "But——I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

The man's voice was gentle and mellow, as if the night wind was singing softly.

"At the ball tonight, you can only dance with me alone."

……

"Laila? Laila?"

Lila recovered from Edward's cry, "Uh, sorry, where did you just say that?"

"Dance." Edward reminded, "So, have you decided who to invite as a dance partner?"

He thought she was thinking about her partner just now.

"I invite?"

"Yes, this is a dance party for girls to choose a partner." He stared at her with imperceptible anticipation hidden in his eyes, "Do you have someone in your heart?"

"No," there was no hesitation in her voice, "because I'm not going to the ball."

"Why?" Edward frowned, "Have you made any arrangements for that day?"

"No, it's just that I just don't want to go." The familiar building appeared in front of her eyes, she stopped, turned around and smiled at him, and said, "I'm home, thank you for taking me back, goodbye."

Edward watched the other party enter the house and close the door... He pursed his beautifully shaped lips, suppressing the disappointment welling up in his heart.

For the next ten days, Edward was very confused.

Isabella Swan approached him that day and told him that she already knew his real identity and hoped that he would be honest with her and trust her sincerity to keep his secret, although he vehemently denied this, and He taunted her mercilessly out of anger, which seemed to have hurt her a lot, but he thought that judging from the other party's inquisitive and stubborn character, she would not give up so easily.

Being discovered by a human is a very important event for the vampires, because the most basic law of the vampire world is to "protect the secrets of the existence of vampires."So after he separated from Laila that day, he hurriedly notified his family, and the family held an emergency family meeting on the matter, and discussed several countermeasures.

However, the strange thing is that for more than ten days, Isabella did not come to him again, and when she occasionally met him at school, she no longer looked at him with the kind of understanding and annoyance that annoyed him as before. The self-righteousness of "I am your ally" made him very strange.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to mention this to Bella himself, and he had to say that he was very happy that she didn't bother him anymore.

Maybe she suddenly figured it out?

The Karen were thinking expectantly, and they decided to stop still and continue to keep an eye on Bella.

Well, keep an eye out.

Time slipped away in the different emotions of different people, and the students of Fox High School, except for a few non-human beings including Laila, finally ushered in the long-awaited spring dance.

This well-prepared dance party was supposed to come to a successful conclusion in the sky filled with pink bubbles, but it was unexpectedly destroyed by an accident near the end.
