Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The two of them walked along the road going down the cliff, walking through the gravel road and heading towards the white and purple buildings in the canyon.

"Mel's back."

"Mel doesn't have class today. Oh, it turns out he brought a friend back."

"Sister Mel, can you play with us today?"

"Auntie made something delicious. Mel, would you like to come and have some?"

Along the way, the two met and greeted various people. Everyone was very familiar with Mel, and Aiwujiwu entertained Heshia, which made the girl a little flattered.

"Mel is very popular." The girl couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, everyone is a good person." Mel nodded.

"Are all Mel's relatives and family members living here?" It turns out that most of the residents here have hair colors similar to Mel's, either light purple or deep purple and almost black.

"Mostly."

The two of them were talking, and then Mel and Heshia stopped in front of a large mansion.

There is a low wall that is half a person's height around here. Although it is a wall, adults can actually walk in with just a step. The surface of the white stone is slightly jade-like and appears a little transparent in the sun. The courtyard is also made of the same material. The style of the house is similar to that of a classical mansion, with purple tiles, transparent arched glass windows, tall doorstep columns, and a few patterns of water waves and conch shells under the eaves.

There are three tall ancient trees in the courtyard, and under one big tree lies a tiger with white patterns, sleeping soundly.

Pushing open the light white wrought iron door, Mel walked in with Hessia. The slight sound of pushing the door and footsteps also woke up the tiger sleeping under the tree. It opened its eyes and looked at the person who walked in. Mel, arched up, stretched, retracted his paws, and then continued to sleep under the tree.

"This is 'Calabash'. Don't be afraid. It is usually lazy and won't attack people." Mel introduced it to Heshia. The gray moon cat in her arms meowed when she saw the tiger fighting not far away. , then jumped out and ran towards the white tiger taking a nap.

"The cat came to play with it again." Mel was not surprised by this and continued to lead Hesia into the house.

Entering the lobby on the first floor, an old butler with gray hair was already waiting here.

"This is Miss Heshia, hello. My name is Perlan Burke, and I am the housekeeper here. Miss Heshia and Miss Mel, please sit down for a moment. Mrs. Hathaway will be here soon."

He invited the two of them to sit down, then brought them black tea in a white porcelain gilt teacup, and then stood aside quietly.

About 2 minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps coming downstairs. An old woman wearing a long skirt and neatly dressed hair slowly walked downstairs. Her hair was light purple with a little gray. She looked about seventy. Or over eighty years old.

"Ms. Heshia has been waiting for a long time." After arriving in the hall, she greeted simply, and Heshia also presented the small gifts she brought, a bouquet of flowers mainly made of white kites, and an oriental-style gift box. Liuyun cake brocade box.

Speaking of bringing gifts, she chose it after asking Anneli. Although she didn't care much about it, considering that this was her first time visiting someone else's home, she still tried to follow traditional etiquette.

"Hesia is interested. In fact, there is no need for such red tape. Haha, you young people don't need to learn these old-fashioned methods." Mrs. Hathaway simply waved her hand and asked the housekeeper on the side to accept it.

"It would be better to be as relaxed as possible. Speaking of which, when I was young, I also liked to run around. I would often walk into my friends' houses empty-handed, and I didn't care at all at the time, haha~"

"Where has Madam been before?" Hesia has never been out of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, and only occasionally heard others talk about the characteristics of her place.

"That's more. At that time, I was studying in the central Snowland star field. The Snowyland star field is not large in area. The main inhabited star in it, Sea Shell α-3, has a pleasant climate. 80% of the entire planet is It is covered by the ocean and has many prestigious schools with long histories.”

Recalling the past, Mrs. Hathaway told Heshia about her schooling experience, in which she also experienced many things, such as the confusion in choosing a direction, the dilemma of changing tutors, various things she encountered while practicing with her classmates, etc. Wait, gradually, Hesia and Mel were immersed in Hathaway's ups and downs of the past, and it took a long time to get out of it.

"It's amazing. Grandma has experienced so many interesting things before. Why didn't she tell me before?" Mel was a little unhappy.

"That's because you were young and obsessed with playing with small animals. I can't force you to listen." Mrs. Hathaway responded with a kind smile.

"Speaking of which, I unknowingly talked for too long. I wonder if Heshia was a little impatient."

"No, I'm actually very interested. I learned so many new things." The girl truly spoke from her heart.

"That's good. If you are interested, you can come here more often in the future. Mel and I are always welcome."

"Thank you, madam. I will visit again if I have the opportunity in the future."

The two chatted about some small things, and then gradually turned to the main topic.

"Actually, Hesia must be curious as to why I invited you over. After all, we didn't know each other before."

"Although you don't know me, I know you to a certain extent. Speaking of which, I met your mother when she was a child. She was also a very cute girl. I don't want more than twenty years to pass by like this."

"Ah this." Hesia blinked her eyes, not expecting to meet someone who knew her mother.

"That was a gathering many years ago. In order to discuss some issues in the northern districts, many celebrity representatives were invited, including the leaders of Jilou City. Let me think about it, your mother was only 14 or 15 years old at that time. Well, I am also coming here with the elders."

"When I was shopping in the North District, I fell in love with a velvet rabbit sold in a pet store, but it was a pity that the elders didn't buy it for her. She also cried. It looked very pitiful, so I was deeply impressed."

"Later, that is, last year, after you received the admission notice from Yuanting, the academy sent representatives to negotiate with Edes. After learning some information, they paid special attention to it, and your life experience slowly emerged. , I realized that you are Gu Yongrong’s daughter.”

"Looking back at the past, it's really sad. The well-known factions in the northern districts have gradually declined, and now only a small number are left in this northern district."

"I invite you here this time because I want to reminisce about the past and let you know about the past and present situation, as well as some of the friendship left behind by our older generation."

"I am currently one of the school directors of Yuanting Academy. My ancestors wandered here with the Yuanting Academy. I have witnessed many changes in the world and lamented the changes in the world."

"When people get old, they inevitably like to reminisce and miss the past. All the faces I once knew have passed away before me. Now I can only look at their descendants to comfort my thoughts."

"Mrs. Hathaway, when were you in college?" Hesia suddenly felt that the old woman in front of her was definitely not just seventy or eighty years old.

"Haha, you, little girl, are asking questions politely. I went to university in 1092, which is about 160 years ago."

"But in front of Mrs. Isabel, she is still a junior. She was a well-known professor in the university when I was studying."

"To be precise, I should be considered Mel's great-grandmother, but when she was little, she didn't know what great-grandmother was, so she would simply call her grandma, and that's how it continued."

"Hey, isn't it wrong to call me grandma?" Mel was also surprised at this time. She always thought that this was grandma, but she didn't expect that it was far from it.

"That's right. After all, younger always sounds better, haha." The old woman covered her mouth and smiled. Although her hair had a lot of white strands, she could still see some of her youthful beauty.

"It's getting late. I'll ask the butler to prepare lunch first. It's still early today and we have plenty of time to chat."

"I'm also very interested in Hesia. I wonder how your stay with Edes is going now. If you encounter some problems, I may be able to give you some advice."

"Although my body is old, I still don't want to admit it. I always want to use my remaining energy to prove my worth. If many years later, there are still people who remember me, it will be a happy thing."

"Okay, come on, let me go to the restaurant on the other side and take a seat. If you don't go, the housekeeper will probably think I'm nagging you, haha."

"No, madam, you are still as charming as you were when you were young. No one would think that waiting for a lady is a waste of time." The butler walked out of the restaurant on one side, smiling and bending to make a gesture of invitation.

"Ahaha, you, the honest child back then, have now learned to say such witty words." With that said, Mrs. Hathaway led the two of them into the restaurant nearby.
