Knowing each other with you [Sword Three]

It was a 3-minute journey from "send the living room" to the contestants' restaurant, Xiang Zhi controlled herself and calmed down temporarily.Opened the small mirror app on the terminal at the last corner, repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing unusual on his face, put on his usual smile on Xiang Zhicai, and walked in.

"Slow to death... sleep like a pig, we are all impatient to wait." Ivan said so, but in fact he didn't mean to blame.

"Oh, I accidentally overslept." Xiang Zhi wanted to rub against Ivan as before, and suddenly remembered that McCann and Ivan had a bad fight before, and it was said that there was a cold war, but the reason turned out to be herself, she Shengsheng stopped his forward momentum, sat on the chair next to Ivan a little stiffly, and moved a little farther secretly.

"What are you doing?" Ivan, who has extraordinary perception, naturally noticed Xiang Zhi's small movements.

"...It's nothing." Xiang Zhixin blinked sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, I've been delayed by something." Claude stepped into the box, and he was rarely seen in such a dusty look.

And he didn't come here all day to make fun of him, so Xiang Zhi was not used to it.

What kind of ghost habit is this, it's better to change it as soon as possible.She sneaked a few glances at Claude, but the other party didn't look at her, lowered her eyes to Xiang Zhi, and clenched her fist unconsciously.

"Is the food ready? I'm really hungry." Claude sat next to Xiang Zhi.But it feels like sitting here is not the seat next to her, but this is the only seat left.

"The order is ready." Ivan said, "Sharaman was so hungry that he ate dinner here and said he had to hurry up, as if he was dragging Celine to the pedestrian street again."

"Okay, then let's four, let's serve." Claude said, and opened the terminal again.During the whole dinner, he didn't look at Zhi, nor did he take care of her like before.

The attitude changed so much that even Iris couldn't help but glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Xiang Zhi also remained silent, only chatting with Ivan occasionally, but deliberately kept a distance.Iris is also about to get engaged to Lena, so keep a distance.It has already caused conflicts between teammates, so we must pay attention in the future, not to be too intimate and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

It seems... Claude is too.Keeping a distance on purpose is because you have someone you like, and you are afraid that the other party will misunderstand?

A name came to Xiang Zhi's mind: Margaret.

Since when did Claude go wrong?After going to the pedestrian street, Mary said there was something to do, and then they disappeared together, right?Until then, everything works fine.

So... Claude and Margaret, it turns out that they also...

Xiang Zhi was suddenly flustered.McCann and Ivan, Claude and Mary, Iris and Lena, maybe... and Charaman and Celine?

All of a sudden, it seemed like I had become a human being.

Companions should also pay attention to propriety, so from now on...be more careful.

Obviously at noon, she was still hugging left and right, as if she always had a group of closest friends by her side, but when she woke up after a nap, she found that she was just a happy dream. She came to a different world alone, surrounded by Only her shadow will always be with her, alone and alone, with no one around.

Back in her room, sitting on the bed in a daze, Xiang Zhi suddenly wanted to cry.

Did she also have the biggest illusion in the world?

—He seems to like me.

He will take the initiative to send messages every day, although most of them are teasing; he will sit next to her and feed her food every time he eats; he will say good night every day, and the first message in the morning is also his greeting; he will Give her small gifts from time to time; he will find out when she starts the live broadcast, and then manage her; he will appear when she is in danger, and stand by her side...

He is always by her side, making her feel that she is special to him.

Xiang Zhi thought that she was special to Claude.In fact, Claude is cold outside and hot inside. As long as he is a teammate he recognizes, maybe he will be so caring, right?Maybe the message was sent in groups at all, just a routine greeting, but she pretended to be affectionate.

Ahhh, Lan Shou, unhappy...

Xiang Zhi fell on the bed, buried her face in the pillow, and sighed deeply, as if she wanted to expel all the stale air in her lungs.

It seems that I still haven't really been able to integrate into this world.

Will there be that day?Will there be a day when you can truly integrate into this world?

The terminal vibrated on the wrist.Xiang Zhi was too lazy to read it, but she still had a glimmer of hope, so she couldn't help opening it.

Mary: Are you free now?

It's Mary?She seemed to be sending a message to herself for the first time.

Xiang Zhi thought for a while, and replied: Well, what's the matter?

Mary's reply was quick: Come out to the pedestrian street for a chat, okay?

Xiang Zhiyuan plans to do some training at night, but now she is not in a good mood, she doesn't want to play the piano, and she doesn't want to do laps, so it seems good to go for a walk and relax?

What will happen if Mary finds herself?

After changing her clothes and putting on some makeup, Xiang Zhi went to the pedestrian street alone.Looking around in groups of three and four, I feel more and more alone.

Ugh.

The first small group to come into this world and never really seem to fit in with them.I don't understand them, and even cause conflicts between them because of myself.

The more I think about it, the thinner I become.

Ugh……

Walking along the pedestrian street, we arrived at the tea restaurant we had made an appointment with Mary.In a small partition, Mary had already placed two cups of steaming milk tea in front of her. When she saw Xiang Zhi, she waved to her.

"Hi." Greeted Xiang Zhi, forced a smile, and sat opposite Mary, "Is the milk tea ready?"

"Well, come all the way, the night wind is blowing, isn't it cool? Drink some milk tea to warm you up." Mary pushed Xiang Zhina's cup in front of her.

"Thank you, it's really cold, so I'm not welcome." Xiang Zhi held up the cup, and the temperature of the milk tea passed through the mug to her cold fingertips.She lowered her head and took a sip in the steaming heat. The smooth taste and rich milky fragrance flowed from the tip of her tongue to her abdomen. The pores all over her body opened slowly, and the cold air in her body was dispelled a lot.

Raising her head, she suddenly found that Mary was... different today, her fiery red hair was very soft and draped over her shoulders.She wore a long beige dress that outlined her sexy figure and showed her original beauty to the fullest.

"Margaret, you are so beautiful today." Xiang Zhifa admired from the bottom of her heart.

"Haha, I've dressed up a bit." Mary's cheeks flushed slightly.

Xiang Zhi looked at her half-dry hair, which was obviously just blown, and smelled the faint scent of forget-me-not shower gel wafting over her body, and suddenly a sentence flashed in her mind:

Women are those who please themselves.

For a while, Mary didn't continue to speak, and Xiang Zhi didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and sipped milk tea.

"Ah, Claude, you are here." Mary stood up happily, paused on Xiang Zhi's hands, and turned her head suddenly, just in time to see Claude stepping into the booth with long legs and walking past her, Pick up a gust of wind, and...stop beside Mary.

Mary warmly took his arm, pulled him to sit beside her, "I called you your favorite New York Lier freshly ground coffee, it will take a while to serve, do you want some milk tea first?"

Claude took the glass that Mary handed over and took a big sip.

"How does it taste?" Mary put her glass back down.

"It's not bad." Claude seemed to have noticed Xiang Zhi just now, with an unnatural expression on his face, "Are you there?"

The empty cup that was drunk is still steaming, but the temperature on the cup has already faded away.Xiang Zhi's fingertips trembled involuntarily. She tried hard to control it, but the cup accidentally slipped and fell onto the table with a bang.

Fortunately it didn't break.

She's embarrassed enough.

"Well, I still have training, so don't bother me, see you later." Xiang Zhi said to Mary, and Claude looked at the little robot that was coming, but didn't meet his eyes.

"Don't overdo the training, come on for the competition~" Mary urged behind her.

Xiang Zhi nodded, got up quickly, rushed out as if fleeing, almost bumped into the little robot holding the cup of freshly ground coffee, and then quickly walked out of the store, walking faster and faster on the pedestrian street, until the tea shop could not be seen When the orange light came on in front of the restaurant, she ran fast.

Faster, faster.There seemed to be a pair of eyes watching her from behind.

She just wanted to run away quickly.

Far away, far away.Get out of that store, get out of Mary, get out of Claude, get out of—

Leave them on, too, with the scent of forget-me-not body wash.

Just as Xiang Zhi went out, the little robot brought the freshly ground coffee Mary ordered for Claude to the table, and Claude looked at Xiang Zhi's back and stood up quickly, almost knocking over the table.

He was about to go around behind Mary, but Mary grabbed his sleeve.

"This is your so-called method? Pour the bath liquid all over me?" Claude lowered his head and frowned. Although he tried his best to control it, his tone was still very bad.

"It has already worked. If you catch up now, all previous efforts will be wasted." Mary stopped.

Claude saw Zhi Zhi's flashing figure outside the glass and a silver light flashing faintly on his cheek, he broke free from Mary's hand, rushed out of the private room and chased after her.

Rather than using these little tricks to make her sad, he would rather be by her side all the time, as long as he can protect her smile, he will have nothing else to ask for in this life.

But Xiang Zhi's speed today was too fast, abnormally fast.When Claude rushed out from the door, her figure had disappeared into the crowd.

Claude looked around, looking for that familiar, thin figure, for no reason, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his heart.

hateful.

Xiang Zhi ran with all her strength, trying to free her mind, but her mind began to recall uncontrollably.

Among the people I know, Xiang Zhi uses jasmine, Claude uses fragrance-free, Ivan and McCann both use papaya milk, and only Mary uses forget-me-not.

On the days when Mary took a bath once a week, it was rare for her to be surrounded by a strong fragrance, so Xiang Zhi was very impressed, and she will definitely not remember it wrong.

Mary had obviously just come out of the shower just now, and the wind brought by Claude's passing by her was also the same, the smell of forget-me-not shower gel.When I ate just now, there was no such strong aroma.So for more than an hour, they have been together...

Ah.Don't think about it, are you an idiot?

Yes.

Xiang Zhi ran desperately, in the pedestrian street bustling with tourists, as if she had suddenly gone crazy, she rushed past the crowd, bumped into others from time to time, and complained a few words behind her.

As she ran so fast, the cold night wind blew into her eyes, stinging her eyeballs so coldly that she shed tears, then dried them, and shed tears again, and so on.

Life is a one-man show, and the audience is just passing by as they please. The joy in their eyes is a flower that blooms in an instant, but it will wither after all.

How can I be so dull and not realize this?

In the future... what should I do in the future?

Xiang Zhi felt ashamed to face her friends again.

We all have each other's lives, it is her, a ray of lonely soul in her different world, disturbing their peace, trying to blend into this peaceful lake, but she is just a feather, which will only wet herself and sink to The bottom of the lake is full of mud.There was a rippling wave in the lake, but it was calm after all. She struggled in the mud at the bottom of the lake and looked up. The sparkling water surface and the sunlight were like jumping gold. That was their world.

She was just a feather at the bottom of the lake, drenched in the cold water, deep in the silt.

Just one last time, look at the dazzling sun above.

This time the new star league is over, she will leave.After bothering for so long, it's time to find the life that really belongs to me.

She is an adult, but she is greedy for the care and warmth of others.In exactly one month, she will be an adult, no longer needs a legal guardian, no longer needs to have anything to do with anyone.

She can support herself, and the translation income can maintain a basic life.Although she has the identity of a supernatural being, she cannot escape the world of supernatural beings, but she can also choose to be a freelance mercenary, accepting missions, doing missions, getting paid, and only talking about business, not relationships.

It was she who threw herself into the relationship without authorization, it was she who longed for the same emotion, it was she... who overstepped.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, she noticed this in time, noticed her mistake in time, and now there is still time to make up for it and get away.

Just wait until the Rising Star League is over.

In the end, let this sweet dream last for a while longer, and keep the jumping sunshine and sparkling lake in memory to brighten the days to come.

Mary sat limply in her chair. There were three cups on the table in front of her, but she was the only one left in the booth.

Xiang Zhi's cup was empty, she only took a sip, and Claude's coffee remained untouched.

She looked out the window quietly, as if all her strength had been drained, and she was a little absent-minded.

The terminal beeped.

"Have you used anything?" A cold voice came from the opposite side.

"Yeah." Mary squeezed out her throat.

"Congratulations, everything has been arranged properly. Next, let's watch the performance in the special seats."

Mary hung up the communication and picked up the milk tea that Claude had just drank, which was already completely cold.She lightly stroked the mouth of the cup that Claude had drunk with her finger, stroked it repeatedly, then picked up the cup, clinked it with the coffee that Claude had never touched on the table, and drank the milk tea in one gulp.

Yes, everything has been arranged and there is no going back.
