Peter foolishly lent Rebecca the only bottle of body wash, so he could only use soap to clean himself up. He pulled the towel over his head, sighed deeply, and thought of Rebecca's wet appearance in her nightgown just now, and murmured: "She looks like this." It's also pretty!"

Well, forget it!You've been thinking too much lately!Peter wiped his hair vigorously. This time he didn't dare to leave the bathroom naked. Instead, he wrapped himself in a towel and went to draw the curtains immediately. Looking in the direction of Rebecca's room.

The lights in Rebecca's room were on the terrace, but with Peter's keen five senses, he didn't hear any sound, it was as quiet as if there was no one inside.

Yes, Rebecca was indeed not in the room.

10 minutes ago, Rebecca brushed herself until her whole body turned red, and felt that she had really washed off the lingering stench on her body. She found clothes in the shopping bag and put them on slowly. I went to the bathroom to dry my hair when I heard a knock on the door.

Rebecca glanced at the mirror, put down the hair dryer and went out of the bathroom, asking, "Who?"

The person who knocked on the door did not answer her.

Rebecca raised her eyebrows, thought for a while, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Eric was standing outside the door. Rebecca looked at him in surprise and said, "Dad?"

Eric took one look at her and said, "Dry your hair and come to my room!"

"Why?" Rebecca remembered the unpleasant conversation in the corridor in the afternoon, "I'm very tired, what can't you say here?"

"I'll say it again, dry your hair and come to my room!" Eric stared at Rebecca, hesitated for a while, and said, "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious?" Rebecca curled her lips and said, "You don't want to reiterate that you want Peter to stay away from me? If that's the case, then I don't think we need to talk about it anymore!"

Eric narrowed his eyes slightly, and said displeasedly: "I'll give you 5 minutes!" After speaking, he turned and walked slowly towards the stairs.

Rebecca tilted her head and watched him go downstairs, pouted and muttered: "You said I would go to your room? Did you say 5 minutes? 5 minutes? Am I not tempered? I don't! Hmph!"

However, 5 minutes later, Rebecca stood at the door of Eric's room, stroking her half-dried hair, a little angry with herself, but she obediently obeyed him and went downstairs!He raised his eyes and reached out to knock on the door.

The door was not locked. When she knocked for the first time, the door was knocked open a crack. Rebecca pursed her lips and pushed the door open without hesitation, but her father was not in the room.

Where did he go?Call someone over, but he won't be there by himself?

Rebecca walked into the room slowly, looked around, and finally set her eyes on the door that he didn't allow herself to enter last time. She turned her head and glanced at the door, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and walked quickly. When I got to that door, didn't you let me in?Now that you are not in the room yourself, you can't blame me!

She reached out and grabbed the doorknob and turned it, click, the door was locked!

Rebecca bit her lip, locked it?This is not a problem for her!She looked down at the spherical door lock and tapped it lightly. In an instant, the doorknob turned into a group of small butterflies flying all over the room, leaving only a round hole at the doorknob position. She smiled happily , reached out and pushed the door open.

Behind that wooden door is a bedroom. Apart from a big bed, there is only a wardrobe in the bedroom. Isn't this too crude?

Rebecca tilted her head, to be honest, she thought her father didn't allow her to come in because there was something hidden, but in the end, it was just a bedroom!She shrugged, it's nothing!Is it necessary not to let her in?

Rebecca walked in and touched the bed. The bedding made of black and white was slightly hard to the touch and felt like hemp material. Wouldn't it be too rough to sleep on the hemp quilt?However, no matter what, it's my father's choice, so whatever, as long as he's happy!

She turned her head to look at the closet on the side, and suddenly became a little curious. This room was left by the professor, so it can be seen that he has used it before. So, what will be in the closet?Clothes he's worn before?Is his dressing style the same as before?Hmm, I'm really curious!

Thinking of this, Rebecca stretched out her hand to grab the closet door, pursed her lips, paused, and opened the closet door abruptly.

There were three coats hanging in the closet, looking a bit lonely.

Rebecca's gaze fell to the bottom of the wardrobe.

At the bottom of the closet, there are many photo frames, big and small photo frames are crookedly piled up there, as if they were randomly stuffed there.

Rebecca knelt down and reached out to pick up a photo frame. It was a black and white photo, badly damaged, half of the picture on it was gone, and only three blurred smiling faces remained. A family of three, with a little boy wearing a dark hat smiling brightly at the camera standing in the middle.

This is... my father?

Rebecca stretched out her fingers to gently touch the smiling face of the little boy. She was silent for a while, put the photo frame aside, and reached for another one. This time, what she saw was a colored photo. In the photo, two young people put their shoulders on each other's shoulders, holding wine glasses in their hands to the camera, with a grinning expression on their faces.

Rebecca recognized these two young people, one was her father and the other was a professor. The appearance of the two in this photo was not much different from that of the two who had been rejuvenated by her now. She stared at the two young people in the photo. For the two of them, I have to say that my father seemed much more handsome than the professor when he was young!uh-huh!She smiled and put this on the frame of the black and white photo just now.

With so many photos hidden in the closet, does my father mean to hide his memories?While thinking about it, Rebecca picked up another one, but this time, her hands suddenly clenched the frame.

this... this is...

"Rebecca!" Eric's angry voice came from behind.

Rebecca pinched the photo frame and looked around, only to see Eric wave her hand, and the photo frame in her hand flew towards him.

Eric grabbed the metal photo frame, glanced at the photo, frowned, and said sharply: "Get out! Immediately!"

Rebecca hadn't gotten out of the complicated emotions of seeing the photo, she just stared at him blankly without moving.

"I told you to get out! Did you hear that?" Eric slammed the photo frame in his hand on the bed, strode up to Rebecca, looked down at Rebecca, pointed at the door, and said angrily Say, "Get out!"

Rebecca looked at the photo frame that he threw on the bed, stood up silently holding the cabinet door, raised her head, stared at Eric's cloudy face, hesitated to speak, turned her head and slowly walked out of his bedroom .

Eric stared at her back, until she came out of the bedroom, he turned his head to look at the bed, the photo frame was lying quietly, there were two people in the photo, one was him, the other was Rebecca's mother, beside him Holding the little Rebecca in his arms, his eyes darkened, he walked to the bed and looked down at the photo for a long time, then turned his head and walked outside.

Eric was about to speak, but found that Rebecca was not in the small living room outside, the door was wide open, and she was gone!He looked at the corridor outside through the wide open door for a while, then turned his head, walked to the sofa and sat down, reached out and grabbed the wine bottle on the coffee table, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine.

Rebecca came out of Eric's room and walked towards the stairs silently, her mind still stuck on the photo.

I never thought that I would see a photo of myself and my mother here, let alone that the person taking a photo with them was my father.Some people may be surprised why they didn't think about it, but Rebecca really didn't think that there would be such a photo in this world.

In Rebecca’s family, there is not a single photo of him. In the photo albums from childhood to adulthood, there are only her and her mother. Occasionally, there will be friends of her mother or her friends, but there is no picture of her father. Therefore, she took it for granted that he knew nothing about her upbringing.

Rebecca walked towards the third floor step by step, holding on to the handrail like a ghost, and the words that her young self asked her mother appeared in her mind.

"Mom, why did Dad come to see me? Doesn't he know Rebecca at all?" Rebecca asked, scratching the edge of the dressing table.

The mother, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and painting her lips, glanced at Rebecca and said, "Of course he knows you, but he can't come and see you!"

"Why?" Rebecca asked, blinking.

"Because..." Mother looked at Rebecca and said with a slight sigh, "Because I don't allow him to come to see you! Rebecca, so, he can't come to see you!"

Since then, every Christmas she has received a small present and a small card.The little card said simply: Happy Birthday, Rebecca.

Just last night, when she found that he didn't seem to know her birthday, she wondered whether he knew of her existence in the past years.

But, she was wrong!

Rebecca reached out and pulled out the necklace with the silver maple leaf pendant from her neck, and held the maple leaf in her palm.I feel that my mood has been in chaos from the moment I saw the photo just now.

Very confused, perhaps, since seeing him come to Xavier, her mood has been very confused!

"Rebecca?" Peter looked at Rebecca who was standing blankly at the turning of the stairs, "Hey! Rebecca? Are you okay?"

Rebecca raised her eyes, looked at Peter standing at the stairs, and said, "Peter."

Peter raised his eyebrows and asked, "Well, I'm here, what's the matter?" He walked down the stairs and walked towards Rebecca.

Rebecca raised her eyes slightly, looked at Peter who was standing in front of her showing concern, and asked in a low voice, "Peter!"

"Hey, I'm in front of you! What's the matter with you? You look very bad? Is it because you're too tired from the fly-swatter?" Peter asked.

Rebecca shook her head slowly and said, "Peter, can you give me a hug?"

(⊙o⊙) What?hug me?Peter was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he stammered, "Oh, this...it's too sudden! Uh, of course...of course...it's ok, but...for...why...you "The second half of his sentence disappeared.

Rebecca threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his lean waist.

Peter opened his arms blankly, and looked down at Rebecca who was hugging him tightly. Her body was so fragrant and soft. Girls and boys are really different...

Uh, wait!Did she just say let him hug her?Peter touched his face, which was almost cooked, and slowly lowered his arms, trying to let himself hug her back naturally.
