The week that followed was very uneventful.

No cases, no interruptions, no accidents.

Shia sketched the prototype in her mind, drew pictures in her spare time, and drew all her memories of Fox Town.

The last painting, finished during lunch break.

Since eating with the Karen family that day, Mercedes has not looked for her again, and Shia's lunch pattern has also become fixed.

Shia saved the picture and put away the board, "Edward, what's your email address? I'll give you the picture."

Edward took Strawberry's hand and said, "Did you draw it?"

Xi Ya nodded, and stuffed a strawberry into her mouth: "I've drawn it a long time ago, and I haven't given it to you."

Then why not give it when the first painting is finished, but give it now?

The answer to the question wasn't what Edward wanted to hear, so he didn't ask.

He doesn't ask, it doesn't mean Alice doesn't ask: "Xia, why didn't you give it before, but now?"

When Alice asked, Xi Ya remembered a more serious problem: she was used to being alone, and she even forgot to tell her new friends that she was leaving.

Xi Ya smiled embarrassedly, for her own habit: "Sorry, I have been paying attention to Huahua these days and forgot to tell you that I will be leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Go?" Alice blinked, not quite understanding, "Where are you going? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Shia was even more embarrassed.

Alice still wanted to accompany her to the place she wanted to go, but she... "I'm sorry, Alice, I haven't told you all this time. I'm a first-year student in the Visual Department of New York University. I'm a college student. I'm coming to Fox this time because Ms. Gao Han asked me to come here." Yes. Now it's over, she's gone, and I should go too."

Shia's reasons were half and half, half because the matter was over, and half because she couldn't stay here for a long time and couldn't afford the hotel fees and daily expenses.

Edward knew that Shia was leaving.

That night, when he was guarding at the window as usual, he heard Gao Han talking to himself:

"I have been raising her for 18 years, but in the end I asked her to do something and she pushed her back and forth. She was either raised or not kissed! Go, leave tomorrow, and let this heartless person stay here alone! Button Take her pocket money and see how long she can stay!"

From Gao Han's unspoken thoughts, Edward knew something.

In ordinary families, daughters are brought up by their mothers, so they are naturally closer to their mothers.The Lin family is different, running around the world in the high and cold, Xi Ya has been taken care of by his father since he was sensible, and he takes it for granted that he is close to his father.

This alone cannot explain the problems and estrangement between mother and daughter.

But I'm afraid there's no time for him to seek answers.

Edward lowered his eyes and wrote down the email address, "Mine."

Shia took it, and immediately sent all the portraits of Edward that I drew after I came to Fox: "I got your permission before, and I drew a lot of pictures. Don't worry, I won't post these pictures randomly. If you look at Stay if you like."

Like it, how could you not like it?

Edward was silent, nodding.

Shia looked at Alice and Rosalie again, "We've known each other not long ago, and I have a gift to give you before we leave. Since I'm empty-handed and very poor, I can only give you two paintings."

As soon as Xia finished speaking, Alice, who had seen Edward's portrait earlier, rushed over and hugged Xia, and rubbed against her excitedly: "Ah, I have long wanted to have a painting that is more beautiful than Edward's, so I am not ashamed to speak, no Thinking of Shia, you actually drew me!"

A painting even more beautiful than Edward's, Alice has seen it before?

Before Shea could react, Alice hurriedly opened the digital tablet that Shea had put aside, opened the picture album familiarly, and found her own painting.

Alice's impression can be described in four words: Lively and cheerful.

When sketching Alice, the first impression in Shia's mind was the sunflowers all over the mountain, facing the sun, thriving, sunny every day, happy every day.

The whole painting uses particularly bright and bright colors, sky blue sky, golden white sun, pure white clouds, emerald green leaves, golden sunflowers, and Alice running among the sunflowers all over the mountain.

Delicate face, cheerful smile, sparkling in the sun, that is the joy that will infect people's hearts.

[May my friends be happy forever. —To Alice. 】

Shea's English writing is so beautiful that Alice wants to cry.

Alice put down the board, turned around and hugged Xi Ya, "Xia, what should I do, I'm starting to miss you now."

"Fool." Shia patted her head, letting Alice act like a child in her arms, "The communication is so advanced, you can find me with just one phone call."

"That's different!"

Alice pursed her lips, thinking in her heart whether she should simply confess her identity.

As soon as this terrible idea came out, Edward's face turned pale, and he winked at Alice vigorously.

no!Absolutely not!

If Shia lived in Forks Town for a long time, Edward might hope to let her know their identities one day.

She was going back now, and everything was different.

She is too smart and heavy-hearted, and she can't be burdened with such a big secret anymore. Adding to the burden will overwhelm her.

Alice nodded regretfully.

She didn't want Shia to leave, and she didn't want the Volturi to know the vampire's secret after she knew the vampire's secret as a human being. That would be a consequence they couldn't bear.

Rosalie was very surprised.

Edward has paintings, she has seen them, Alice has paintings, she is not surprised, but she also has...somewhat unexpected.

Before she could do anything, Emmett, who couldn't bear it, picked up the board that Alice had put down, clicked on it, and smiled immediately.

"Rosalie, look!"

Rosalie's impression has always been very cold, it seems that no one can open her frozen heart.

Shia is good at seeing people, she can see that Rosalie is wrapping her inner heart with a cold shell, which is so soft that it is a mess.

When drawing Rosalie, Shia accidentally drew a child.

On the beach in Fox at sunset, under the background of sea and sky, Rosalie squatted barefoot on the beach. In front of her was a smiling child, a small version of Rosalie with two braids.

The child's smile was so pure that the cold Rosalie melted her heart, and her tightly pursed lips curled up slightly.

Rosalie opened her mouth slightly in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't look like she liked it, Xi Ya scratched her face and said, "Sorry, I always felt that you were lonely when I was drawing, so I drew one more. If you don't like it, I will delete it right away. "

"no!"

Rosalie blurted out, looking at the painting with slightly gentle eyes, even looking at Shea, "I like it very much."

Shia smiled and exchanged glances with Alice, without saying anything.

The presents were delivered, and the afternoon classes were over, and Shia wanted to drive around Forks one last time.

As soon as he got into the car, Edward knocked on the car glass.

"Is something wrong?"

Edward said slightly uncomfortable: "Carlisle and Esme invited you to our house."

"Now?" Shia looked down, not sure what they meant.

After this point, it is inevitable that they will stay at Karen's house for dinner, but their family obviously...

"Yeah." Edward nodded.

Before he could give any reason, Alice ran over and warmly invited: "Shia, come to our house tonight! You have been in Fox for so long, and you haven't been to our house before you leave. Carlisle and Esme I am looking forward to your arrival, and the meal is ready."

Do you invite people when the meal is ready?

Xi Ya helplessly raised her forehead, are they not prepared to accept her rejection at all?

"OK then."

Look, I just said I can.

Alice proudly said to Edward in her heart.

Edward laughed but said nothing.

Volvo led the way at an unprecedented low speed, and the silver Chevrolet followed steadily, followed by the bright red Porsche and green Jeep, like the most loyal guards waiting at the end.

The Karen family lives far away from the small town of Forks.

Several people drove, detoured one road after another, passed through the dense jungle, and came to the surprise hidden in the jungle.

The Karen family lives in the jungle, seemingly isolated from the outside world, but in fact the whole house covers a large area, has a moderate number of floors, is designed with a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows, and is full of modern equipment inside.

Just from the outside, it is absolutely impossible to tell that this is the home of a local tyrant with every single piece of decoration inside.

Shia fell in love with the design of this house at first glance, it is simple and generous, and the key is to receive sunlight to the greatest extent.

"Who designed this?"

Alice hooked Shia's arm and proudly puffed out her chest: "It's me, how is it?"

Xi Ya gave her a big compliment: "It's great! Next time I have a chance, I must give my house an idea."

Alice giggled, "Of course."

As soon as the two entered the door arm in arm, Esme warmly hugged her, "This is Shea, right? You really are a very cute child. I've always wanted to see you, and I finally saw you today."

Esme was a very gentle mother, and Carlisle greeted her gentlemanly and sat quietly beside her.

In this family, the father is loving and the mother is loving, and the children have strange personalities, but the advantage is that there are many people and it is lively.

Shia glanced around, taking in the furnishings in the room.

The academic hats on the wall in the corridor are a bit strange. For a family of six with four children, the number of hats is too much, unless they have special preferences and like to use various academic hats as wall decorations.

Observing other decorations and furnishings, it is easy to find that their hobbies are normal.

Esme served plate after plate of dishes, "Edward didn't tell me, I don't know what you like to eat, it's the first time I cook Chinese food, and I don't know if it suits your taste. If it's not delicious, thousand Don't force yourself!"

It can be seen that Esme did everything with all her heart.

The position of the basin is exactly right, the carving looks a bit rough, but it is very good for the first time.

Xi Ya tasted every dish and gave pertinent advice.

Then, she had to face up to the question that she had ignored for many days: "Aren't you going to eat?"

The Karen family: "..."

At this time, should we use the obvious lie of "we have eaten" or the same lie of "we are not hungry"?

Carlisle smiled, and rounded it up with relatively smooth words: "This table of food is prepared by Esme for you to eat alone. You don't need to worry about them. They are so big that they will take care of themselves when they are hungry."

"Then I'm impolite." Xi Ya lowered her eyes to eat, hiding the deep thought in her eyes.

A family of six, the same coldness, the same golden eyes, the same...not eating.

The Karen family did not deliberately hide their differences from ordinary people in front of her, and even inviting her home was a good message.

It's a pity that she is destined to go, and she should not expose this secret.

At least not now.

Meanwhile, a half-worn police car drove back to Forks from Seattle.

The Swann policeman couldn't hide his excitement, "Bella, how long do you plan to stay here this time?"

The pretty girl turned her head and smiled meaningfully: "Come back, I won't leave."

Her father, lover, family, friends, daughter are all here, why is she leaving?
