[Comprehensive British and American] Alien girls are still saving the earth today

Jinx is a little curious about the summer vacation, but far less excited than Michael Pietro.Back then, the Military University actually had no holidays. After the semester exams, there would be a two-month military internship, and most students would not be bothered by the lack of holidays, but would be excited because they could enter the army to experience military life. endlessly.

Jinx is the same.

So much so that she woke up at seven o'clock the next day, quickly got up and changed her clothes, and after realizing that the summer vacation had already begun, she was at a loss for a minute.

The summer in West Chester dawns very early, the sun has brought some temperature after [-] o'clock in the morning, the bottle containing the Cantabrian narcissus has not been changed for a long time, and the bright goose yellow flowers are a little listless , She stood in front of the desk for a while, picked up the vase and went to the bathroom to replace it with new water. After thinking about it, she moved the bottle to the shade on the desk.

She then sat down at the desk and looked out the window with her chin resting on her hands.

The morning light filled the entire Xavier School. The lights and water spray at the bottom of the water lily pond downstairs had been turned off, and the surface of the pond was quiet. Among the layers of lotus leaves, water lilies bloomed in twos and threes, and occasionally a dragonfly swayed. Tap lightly on the surface of the water, and there will be shallow ripples in circles, which is too beautiful to behold.

She sighed, the leisurely summer life made her a little at a loss, she opened the drawer, looking for some textbooks to read, but she basically read through the textbooks of last semester except math books, circling around in front of each textbook Going around, she still feels that learning is endless, and she should open up a new learning battlefield.

Thinking of this, she eagerly ran down from the third floor. The soft soles of the Converse canvas shoes were turned back on the stairs by her, and they were layered in the empty stairwell, as if they were going forward for a military parade. Same with the army.

She went downstairs, turned around the corridor, and came to the library on the first floor.

At this time, the library is no longer crowded with people during the review week before the exam. From one end of the room to the other at a glance, it is deserted and empty.She wandered around among several bookshelves, looking for a few big bricks on religion and world history, and stopped when passing by art books, and she found a book on timpani basics among a pile of musical instrument teaching books.

Although he threatened in the "Tchaikovsky's Sadness" group that he would lead the Midtown High School Symphony Orchestra to victory over Westchester High School to glory, but under Peter's doubts, Jinx had no idea whether timpani and seaweed There is no difference in the drums and some are not sure.

Thinking of this, she simply put the big bricks in her arms on the ground, went out the "Basics of Timpani", sat down on the ground, and started to study.

The timpani drums on the earth were made of animal leather many years ago, and later made of plastic, and now most of them are made of synthetic fiber materials, and the timpani is not a percussion instrument that expresses rhythm in a single way as she understands. In the seventh century, the timpani had mechanical pedals, which could be used to control the tone of the pedals, breaking through the stereotypes of traditional percussion instruments, becoming a flexible and versatile accompaniment instrument, and also the soul of a large symphony orchestra.

Jinx turned a few pages, and only felt that the difference between the timpani and the seaweed drum was that there was an extra pedal.

After thinking for a while, she put the "Basics of Timpani Drum" on the "Bible" she borrowed, and then, holding these thick books like bricks, she stood up and walked to the door, about to stretch out her right hand When she opened the door of the library, the door had already been pushed open from the outside. She stepped back reflexively, and then saw a corner of Charles' wheelchair through the pushed open door.

She simply stood in front of the door, and when Charles controlled the wheelchair to enter the library, half of her head poked out from the door, her eyes met Charles's, and then she blinked.

—She didn't know it herself, she blinked when she wanted to show kindness to someone, since she was a baby octopus, she was in the Gulf of California, trying to surfboard with humans , it will stretch out its tentacles to wrap around the surfboard, and wink at the person.It's just that most of the humans who were treated friendly by her didn't pay attention to her eyes. They covered their faces and screamed, or fell off the surfboard directly in shock. Not only did she not be able to play the surfboard, she was confused. And dive back into the sea to save people.

After transforming into a human form, due to brain injury, she has no redundant expression on her face all year round, and because of years of interstellar battles, she has cultivated murderous eyes that make people look at two warring eyes. Blink, the person who is blinked by her will only feel that they are about to become the dead soul of this interstellar cold-faced killer.

It can be said that no one has ever understood her heart looking forward to pure friendship behind this small gesture.

……

Charles knew that there were people in the library before he opened the door. Only him, Henry, and Jinx were left in the entire Xavier school. Considering that Jinx had just had a summer vacation, at this moment he should be sleeping under the covers to enjoy the summer vacation. The privilege of staying in bed, he guessed that the person in the library should be Henry.

Just pushing open the door, the people in the house did not show up immediately, but when he controlled the wheelchair and entered the house, half of his head suddenly popped out from behind the door.

Thick black long hair, heroic-looking eyebrows, and a pair of blue-green eyes with a slight evil spirit.

He froze for a moment, and saw those eyes blinking at him.

Jinx's eyes are beautiful, but his brows are pressed down and the tails of his eyes are upturned, always carrying a strong and gloomy evil spirit, with a bit of Gothic atmosphere, like a cynical, rebellious and crazy retro rock lover, although he Knowing that she was actually the complete opposite of what she appeared on the outside, but this playful little move still surprised him slightly.

...and feelings that I don't know how to describe.

His hands froze on the armrests of his wheelchair, his blue eyes met Jinx's, and after a moment he smiled.

Behind him was the morning light of West Chester in midsummer. Against the backdrop of the morning light, his eyes were blue, with the end of his eyes slightly narrowed, giving him a youthful look.Jinx tilted his head and stared at his smile, only to feel that the facial muscles were beginning to lose control of the brain, and every nerve was being lifted up, trying to raise the corners of her mouth into the same arc as Charles.

This was the first kind response she received after she made this little gesture subconsciously. At this moment, Charles was smiling exactly like the old photo saved in her mobile phone.

She wanted to come out from behind the door, but the pile of big brick books in her arms was too high, and the top book hit the edge of the door, and it brought the books below with it and fell down. A few, but two or three fell at Charles' feet.

Charles bent down to pick up one of them, and raised his eyebrows: ""The Basics of Timpani"?" He raised his eyes and looked at Jinx, "Do you want to learn timpani?"

Holding a mess of books in his arms, Jinx nodded with difficulty: "There will be a performance on the homecoming festival."

Charles raised his lips: "Are you going to perform timpani?"

"I'm going to be in charge of the timpani in the school symphony orchestra." She emphasized, "This is a team activity. It's not me performing, but everyone performing together."

Charles nodded, and turned back to the title page of the book: "Since you are reading "Basics of Timpani"...then, you won't?"

"No." She replied honestly, "so I have to study hard."

"It's not very useful to read a book like "Basics of Timpani." Charles closed the book and put it gently on the carpet at his feet, and said, "Come with me."

He controlled the wheelchair and turned around, and walked out of the house to the corridor. The morning light was shining brightly in the corridor, and the creepers on the eaves dangled wisps of vine leaves, as if wrapping the corridor tightly. He controlled the wheelchair to move forward, as if he was going to be melted by the sun. After walking a certain distance, he didn't hear Jinx's footsteps, so he turned his head and looked at Jinx who was holding a pile of books: "You can put these books down first."

Jinx tilted his head, bent down and put the book in his arms on the carpet, next to the "Basics of Timpani", arranged them neatly, closed the door of the library, and hurried away A few steps, followed behind Charles.

Charles took Jinx to the musical instrument room at Xavier School.

Jinx didn't expect that a pheasant university like Xavier School with only two professors would have music classes. She walked around the grand piano and looked back at the piano bag in the corner. Charles, a violinist, said, "So, who's giving the music lessons?"

"Henry." Charles looked up at her and said with a smile, "In addition to teaching chemistry, he will also be a music teacher."

"Henry?" Jinx thought of the Henry who always pushed his glasses and smiled shyly, "What musical instrument can he play?"

Charles twisted the fine tuner on the violin, adjusted the tuning, then clasped the violin on his shoulders, put his chin on the chin rest, held the bow in one hand, looked at Jinx, and said with a smile: "Harmonica. "

Jinx: "????"

Charles narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something, and smiled sinisterly. He put the bow on the strings and pulled it up slowly. The melodious and cheerful sound of the violin resounded throughout the music classroom. He played the violin , while saying: "However, this course is equivalent to no, and I will come to take a surprise quiz in the end."

Jinx: "..."

She lights wax for the students of Xavier School.

There are two teachers in Xavier School, the music class is practically empty, the teacher is Henry McCoy who can only play the harmonica, and the other teacher, who can play the violin, always uses the music class to conduct surprise quizzes.

After the song was over, Charles pointed to the musical instrument in the corner with his bow and said, "Try that."

Jinx turned his head and saw an instrument composed of several drums and gongs.

"That's the jazz drum," Charles said. "You can use the jazz drum to practice rhythm first."

"Oh." Jinx nodded, and then took out his mobile phone to google the basic tutorial of jazz drums, but Charles saw her open the google page, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You don't need to look for tutorials, I will teach you. "

Jinx looked away from the phone screen and looked at him: "You will?"

Charles nodded with a smile.

Jinx: "...Does Henry know?"

Charles smiled: "No one actually knows."

Jinx: "..."

So why is the music teacher at Xavier School Henry who can only play the harmonica?
