one step away [Interstellar]

25.

When Heber came back, it happened to be when the sun was in the west.Passing through the atrium full of flowers, she saw the young man sitting at the end of the corridor at a glance among the layers of flowers under the magnificent light of the setting sun.

She was lying on the rattan chair under the shelf built by purple roses, most of her figure was blocked by the seemingly dense wall climbing tiger.Hebe held up her skirt and walked along the path in the garden, looking at her as she walked forward.

The occluded realization gradually opened up, and the exquisite side face of the young man hidden in the greenery fell into the eyes with the line of sight.

In the quiet flower pavilion, teacups and several plates of snacks are scattered on the elegant coffee table, as well as a very conspicuous red tome.And the slender young man nestled in the narrow wicker chair, as if he was asleep, he turned his face inward, only half of his white side face was exposed, looking extremely peaceful and peaceful.

He Bo couldn't help slowing down, stepped onto the entrance of the corridor, and looked at Xia Zuo, who was nestled deep in the flowers, across the corridor five meters away.As if feeling something, the person who seemed to be sleeping at first trembled slightly, then turned his head slowly, and opened his eyes covered in mist.

The blue eyes are ambiguous and blurred, like the surface of a lake gently shrouded in the night, deep and clear.Heber froze for a moment, looked at each other for a long time, and then realized that the person in front of him was not awake. He took a few steps forward and said softly, "Why did you fall asleep here? The weather is not very warm yet. It's still cold in the shade, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Xia Zuo, who had found consciousness the moment he woke up, saw He Bo walking towards her, quickly corrected his posture, and stood up. "It's so comfortable, I fell asleep after reading for a while. The weather is beautiful today, I really like it, but it's a pity that I can't spend it with you."

She smiled, looked at the woman who appeared in front of her, and showed concern, "You look very happy, today's date is great, isn't it? Sonny told me that you went out to see a design exhibition today."

"That's right." He Bo nodded, and set his sights on Xia Zuo's right cheek, the white and tender skin was covered with red marks by the rattan chair, looking very pitiful. "your face……"

"Huh?" Xia Zuo didn't know why he raised his hand to touch his cheek, looking at He Bo in a daze.

There was a hint of a smile in the gentle red pupils, He Bo said softly, "Don't sleep like this in the future, your face will be embossed." She stretched out her hand and pointed to Xia Zuo's right cheek.

Almost in a state of embarrassment, Xia Zuo raised his hand to press his right cheek, only feeling a hot breath burning from his neck to the top of his head, his whole face and the tips of his ears turned red.

Her reaction was too cute, she was a shy girl at all, Heber couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You don't have to..."

This is completely irrelevant, but Xia Zuo blushed and said solemnly, "Please don't look at me like this, I know it's too rude to be like this now, so please allow me to keep talking to you like this."

"Pfft..." Unable to bear it, Heber covered his mouth and laughed again.Seeing the young man's growing embarrassment, he slowed down and said, "Okay, I didn't mean to make fun of you. What did you do this afternoon, just read a book here? An anthology of poetry?"

"Yes..." Xia Zuo nodded, still covering his face with his right hand, "This kind of book is not suitable for me, I only read more than ten pages, and then lay down sleepily, I really don't have much artistic talent. "

"Hmm..." Hebe couldn't help but glanced at her cheek again, "I can't say that, most people don't like this kind of book." She reached out and stroked the gold letters on the red cover, "omega... I would prefer emotional literature more."

"Then do you like it?" Xia Zuo asked, covering his face, "After all, your literature is very good, ah, my literature has always been stable at the passing line when I was a student." Even in the subjects that alphas must learn , Appreciation of Love Poetry, Xia Zuo, who was good at other subjects, still passed the test with a low score in this course.

No wonder Ellen always said that she was so clumsy that she couldn't speak sweet words to people, so that she was still an alpha with little experience at an early age.

Because of this, she was asked to make up for it during the holidays. Fortunately, in the next few years, the omega who needs to communicate will not break up.

Otherwise, she would never want to read such a collection of poems.

Heber looked up at her and smiled without saying a word.Looking at her smile, Xia Zuo took the opportunity to change the topic, "How's the design exhibition going? Have you seen any of your favorite works?"

He Bo shook his head, and Xia Zuo knew that she hadn't photographed anything.She didn't know if Heber went with someone, which made her a little concerned, but it was inexplicably inconvenient to ask, so she could only say, "But you look very happy, and you must have encountered something pleasing."

"I had a meal with my friend, so I'm in a good mood." Heber nodded and responded.

Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, stretched out his left hand to pick up the books on the table, and said, "How is your body feeling? Are you tired? Let's go in first, it's too shady here, it's not too cold for you." good."

"Yes." Heber walked beside her, and the two walked towards the corridor together.The stubborn Xia Zuo was still covering his cheeks. He Bo felt helpless and said, "Are you going to talk to me like this all the time? In order to protest what I said, you must know that I didn't mean to laugh at you. Why do you... "

"It's not like this." Xia Zuo explained, holding a heavy book, and said seriously, "Before the traces dissipate, I think I have to do this. My mother said that being rude in front of others is a sign of disrespect. I do not wish……"

"You really listen to the princess..."

"..." Xia Zuo was teased, and pursed his lips and said, "I just want you to understand that whenever I want you to feel that I value you. To me, you are a A friend worthy of respect."

friend?Just that?That's right, she has never had such a strong desire to get close to someone, probably because Heber is too irresistible, too gentle, and too yearning.

"..." Because of the solemnity revealed in her words, Heber was taken aback for a moment.It's very comfortable to be friends with this person.That said, the relationship is pretty good too.Heber nodded, and asked back, "Friends should be honest with each other, right? Why bother to stick to the formality... It's just a trace... Wouldn't it be... from alpha..."

She looked at Xia Zuo, and the evil humor she occasionally revealed was too cute and moving.Xia Zuo smiled and said, "It can also be said that it is out of the dignity of alphas, Ms. Heber, I must emphasize again that in front of omega, no matter what kind of relationship alpha has the consciousness of maintaining a dignified appearance, this It's the most basic etiquette."

"What's more, I'm facing a beautiful omega like you." She blinked, and the delicate light flowed in the blue eyes, which were playful and moving.

You know, Alpha's skin is not so thick.She can be pure and innocent, with some stubborn traditional reserve, and her style is like an old-fashioned gentleman, but she can occasionally show the free and easy style of young people.

Really... a person with thousands of faces... a very interesting person.

It's just so cute.

Seeing her covering her face and talking to herself, Heber couldn't help but laughed again.

The relationship between them is like a creeper spreading on the flower pavilion, and with the summer, it quietly covers the entire bright courtyard.

Soon, after several days of sunny weather, a heavy rain fell on Granville.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky like pearls and landed on the sycamore tree in a continuous line, hitting the green leaves and making a crackling sound.The wind blew the tall and straight redbud trees, and the raindrops fell on the low bushes, gradually covering the clean path, leaving traces of branches and leaves, and the sound of clattering.

Holding an umbrella, the servant came hurriedly from outside the duke's mansion.He held a pile of letters in his arms, and when he walked to the gate, he put away the umbrella and handed the things in his arms to Old Vito.

The energetic old man took the things, turned around and walked towards the spiraling steps.When they reached the second floor, they turned to the long winding corridor, walked along the deep corridor to the study room built in another building, and then knocked lightly on the door.

"Your Excellency, today's letter has arrived, do you want me to send it in?"

Xia Zuo, who was sitting in the middle of stacked bookshelves, listened to the sound of rain coming from outside the terrace, flipped through the books in his hand, and said yes.The respectful old servant put a pile of letters in his arms on her desk, greeted her a few words, turned around and closed the door to leave.

After clipping the bookmark, Xia Zuo closed the books, took the packed letters, and sorted them one by one.

Most of them belonged to her. Xia Zuo was the first to pick out his own part. Xia Zuo got a package without any information and opened it, and a dozen thick photos appeared in front of him.

In addition, there is a test report from two months ago.

She roughly flipped through the photos in her hand. They were all pictures of a handsome boy staying with another handsome and hearty boy. Such a familiar face, Xia Zuo, who has almost no memory, can naturally recognize it. come out.

And those test sheets... Except for Xia Zuo, who is not proficient in literature and art, he can naturally recognize the quantitative results of early pregnancy.But obviously, the boy two months ago was not just out of two months of pregnancy.No wonder, it was only a qualitative result when telling Lynn.

Xia Zuo sneered, it seemed that his brother was too green.

After getting the information he needed, Xia Zuo, who was ready to play according to the inferred next step, put away the photos boredly and sealed them back.

Then, he picked up the scattered letters and began to process them.

Some were hers, some were Hebe's.

The industrious Xia Zuo divided up the letters between the two until he got a mail marked as Weil.

Xia Zuo looked at the bronzing envelope in his hand, and then carefully looked at the exquisite logo on the cover, as well as the person who wrote the letter.

The envelope with the words "Federation International Windsor Design Competition Organizing Committee" made Xia Zuo frowned.She thought for a while, it should be an invitation to a design competition, anyway, Heber was handling such matters, so she thought about it for a while, and put it in Heber's place.

After sorting, Xia Zuo suddenly became interested, holding a book and those letters for He Bo, he happily walked towards He Bo in the piano room.

At that time, the rain falling outside the window happened to harmonize with the sound of Youyou's piano, which was very beautiful.

The author has something to say: the Cherry in the last chapter means a virgin, so I don’t need to explain how erotic this poem is.
