However, Rebecca didn't expect that the aftermath of supervising Peter's bath was so serious that she almost didn't look at Peter at dinner time. "the behavior of.

"Rebecca!" Rebecca smiled and called out to Rebecca who wanted to slip away after eating.

Rebecca took a quick look at Peter who was helping to clear the plates, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Rick raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "You skipped the afternoon class, didn't you?"

"Oh! That's right!" Rebecca nodded, "I thought that after I found Peter, I would be able to catch up, but I didn't expect..." She shrugged.

"I can help you with tutoring, because you just came to school, and I'm worried that you won't be able to keep up!" Rick said, "Are you interested?"

Rebecca looked at Rickdo's sincere face, thought for a while, and said: "If you want, I am very grateful!" Although she may leave Xavier at any time, there is no harm in learning more. , Xavier School for Gifted Boys really has a few courses that are different from the education she received.

"I am very willing, you know!" Rick laughed and said, "There should be no one in the reading room at night, and we will go there to give you tutoring in a while!"

"Okay!" Rebecca nodded and walked out of the restaurant with him.

Rick took another look at Rebecca, who was not in good spirits, and said, "By the way, what happened to you this afternoon?"

Rebecca smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just went to find Doctor Strange."

Rick knew she wasn't telling the truth, so he didn't continue to ask, and said, "Speaking of Doctor Strange, his magic enchantment class is tomorrow morning! The professor has sent a text message to everyone."

"SMS?" Rebecca pointed to her head, "But I didn't receive it!"

"No, it's not such a text message!" Rick laughed more, took out his mobile phone and said, "Xavier has a special information system, which is specially made for the school by Mr. Stark, and every student will receive course changes in time. And notifications like school events. You didn't join the system, so you didn't receive it!"

Rebecca snorted, and said, "Mr. Stark is really hardworking!" She thought of Namu who was pressed to the ground by his small cloak, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "However, it sounds like this system Not bad, so how do I join?"

"You have to provide the professor with your mobile phone number, and he will add your number to Xavier's system." Rick said, looking at the stairs, "Okay, I have to go back to my room to get my notes, we will read them in 10 minutes See you in the room?"

Rebecca nodded and said, "Okay!"

Rick walked towards his dormitory on the first floor.

"Hey! Rebecca!" Peter called.

Rebecca turned her head and saw Peter turning in from the door of the dormitory. She stretched out her hand to hold on to the railing of the stairs, and walked up without a word.

"Rebecca!" Peter quickly caught up and said, "Wait! Why didn't you wait for me and left?"

Rebecca looked sideways at Peter and said, "Who stipulated that I must wait for you?"

"Didn't you want me to protect you personally?" Peter looked up at Rebecca who was standing on the stairs. "Besides, I have to do what I promised you!" .

Rebecca turned her head and continued walking up.

"Why, why do you seem angry to me?" Peter asked after her.

"I'm not angry!" Rebecca quickened her pace.

Peter also quickened his pace and said, "Really? Well, maybe that's my illusion?"

Of course it's your illusion!Rebecca said secretly in her heart, and turned to look at Peter, "I thought you would help wash the dishes."

"I'm not washing the dishes today, I'm on duty on Monday." Peter followed Rebecca easily, "Lilith hasn't put you on the restaurant's rotation list yet, and when she does, you will You have to participate in the management of the restaurant like everyone else.”

"Management? It's just a small school cafeteria that still manages it! People who don't know it may think it's some high-end restaurant in Manhattan!" Rebecca said, "You guys are so interesting!"

"Oh, Rebecca, you are now a member of Xavier." Peter said, "It's not you, it's us!"

Rebecca squinted at him, with a very serious look on his face, she shrugged and said, "I just agreed to stay here with the professor temporarily, it doesn't mean I will study here with you! So, Peter, it's you, isn't it?" us!"

Peter blinked and said, "I don't understand, but you're in Xavier now, you're part of Xavier!"

Rebecca turned her eyes away speechlessly, and said to herself, why does she think...the serious and stubborn expression on Peter's face now looks so cute?

Seeing that Rebecca didn't speak, Peter smiled and said, "Well, actually, I quite understand how you feel. After all, you've only been here for a few days at Xavier. Here. But trust me, Rebecca, you'll grow to like it, everyone here is wonderful, like the professor, Bucky, Lilith, Anne, Logan, Laura, Lucas, Rick, Barry, Tom..."

"Could you stop declaring the names?" Rebecca interrupted Peter, who seemed to want to count all the school members, "I don't know how long I will stay here, you received my mother today This means that she already knows that I am here, so I may be taken away by my mother at any time! Do you understand what I mean? This has nothing to do with whether I like Xavier or not!"

"So what's the matter?" Peter asked.

Rebecca choked, and said perfunctorily, "Your question is really good! But, I don't want to answer it!"

Peter laughed and said slyly: "If you can't answer, it means that the reason you said is just a random talk! Do you think I am a fool?"

"Aren't you an idiot?" Rebecca glanced at him. "We realize now, since when did you do something smart?"

Peter looked at her with his head tilted, showing disbelief, and said, "I helped you get rid of those people your mother sent!"

"It has nothing to do with being smart, right?" Rebecca stopped at the door of her room, "Okay, I'll go in and get my things now, and then I'll go to the reading room."

"To the reading room?" Peter asked in surprise, "Do you want to read?"

Rebecca shook her head and said, "Rick is going to help me with extra lessons. As my temporary bodyguard, you better hurry up and get ready!" After finishing speaking, she turned her head and entered the room.

"When did Rick become so kind?" Peter scratched his head in doubt, and said to Rebecca in the room, "Hey, you don't know, he is notoriously out of gregarious!"

Rebecca opened the closet and took off the small cashmere coat she wore when she was eating, took out a pink pullover sweater and put it on the bottom of the white dress, listening to Peter rambling about Rui Ke Duo raised his eyebrows about his cold deeds in the past, why did he tell her these things?

After talking for a while, Peter didn't see Rebecca speak, so he stood at the door and asked, "Rebecca?"

Rebecca braided her shawl hair into braids in the bathroom, came out with a laptop, and asked, "Why?"

Peter was taken aback, looked at Rebecca who had changed her clothes, and said, "Wow! Aren't you going to tutoring? You're dressed too beautifully, right?"This is not like going to tutoring!Those who didn't know thought they were going on a date!

Rebecca tilted her head slightly, Peter stared at herself stupidly, she looked down at her clothes for no reason, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me wearing this?"

"No, there's nothing wrong!" Peter smiled awkwardly, "Very, very nice!"

Rebecca looked at Peter's empty hands and said, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Peter asked back, "Why don't you go? Of course you will!"

"Then you go like this?" Rebecca raised the computer in her hand, "I've never seen anyone who doesn't bring anything to study, unless your memory is very strong!"

Peter hurriedly said, "Oh! Wait! I'll get it! Wait for me, one minute!"

Rebecca watched Peter hurriedly go to the room to get something, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

reading room.

Rick stood in front of the table, looked around, and waved his hand.

A gilt-silver copper vase with flowers flew in from outside the door and landed lightly on the center of the table.

Rick rubbed his chin, and beckoned to the inside of the reading room. A pair of silver candlesticks with white candles slowly landed beside the vase. He stared at the table for a long time, pondered for a moment, and stretched out his hand A pair of candlesticks were pushed towards the center, and then he took a few steps back, nodding in satisfaction.

Rebecca pushed open the door of the reading room with her laptop in her arms, and saw a pair of candles lit on the table at a glance, and the candlelight leisurely illuminated a circle of faint light.Under the dim light, Riktor was reading a book quietly.She reached out and knocked on the door lightly, saying, "Ricko!"

Rickdo raised his eyes and laughed, saying, "You're late!"

Rebecca said apologetically, "Oh, yes, I'm sorry for having a few more words with Peter!"

"Peter?" Rick asked, "He's a famous talker throughout Xavier."

"Yes! That's right!" Rebecca turned her head with a smile, and looked at Peter behind her, "Talking!"

Peter said dissatisfiedly: "Hey! How about not having the whole Xavier?"

When Rick heard Peter's voice, he was taken aback and said, "Huh? Peter is here too?"

Peter followed Rebecca into the reading room and said, "Hi! Rick, thank you for your willingness to help us with tutoring!"

No, I don't want to help you with tutoring!Or, more accurately, I'd rather help Rebecca with tutoring, not you!Rick watched Peter and Rebecca sit down side by side at the table and said, "Oh, you're welcome!"

Peter looked up at the colorful glass lamp hanging on the ceiling of the reading room, and asked suspiciously: "Oh, by the way, Rick, why didn't you turn on the light, and instead use candles? Is it because this lamp is broken?"

Rebecca just turned on the laptop in her hand, and when she heard the words, she raised her head and glanced at the beautiful antique lamp above her head. She thought it was strange when she came in, but thinking about it, it might be Xavier's strange rules, She didn't ask, but when Peter asked, she smiled, looked at Rick and said, "It seems that the light is broken?"

Riktor's face was flickering in the flickering candlelight. He smiled reluctantly and said, "The light is not broken. I'm sorry. I just wanted to experience the atmosphere similar to the medieval night." He said, He flicked his fingers in the air.

In the distance, the light switch in the reading room snapped automatically.

In an instant, the lamp above their heads shone brightly.

Rikdo hastily blew out the two candlesticks.

Rebecca said regretfully: "If I don't need tutoring, I'd be happy to experience the atmosphere of the Middle Ages with you, the kind at night!"

Peter smiled and said: "Oh, then you should be very willing to spend Thanksgiving at Xavier! You know, we have a party here on the night of Thanksgiving! According to Lucas, it seems to be a candlelight dinner!"

Rick squinted, looked at Peter and asked, "Candlelight dinner? Why didn't I know?"

Peter looked at him innocently and said, "Oh, when they were talking about this, you were poisoned and lying on the bed!"

Rick looked at Peter, smiled helplessly, and unconsciously squeezed the pen in his hand tightly.
