Taking advantage of the lunch break, Paula and Gabriel printed dozens of cat hunting notices.Since Gabriel did not have timely and effective contact information, Paula lamented that Gabriel was really like an alien, while leaving her contact information on the notice.One noon, the two quickly posted these notices all over the block.Even so, Gabriel doesn't expect to be able to find Duck 100%, if he is lucky enough to find some clues, that would be great.

Besides thinking about Duck, Gabriel of course also misses Eve.In fact, it's not that she can't figure out that the reason why Eve lied to her is to maintain their superficial peace, but she still can't accept this fact-in her heart, Eve will always be that innocent and kind little woman, and she can't convince herself to put "Liar "This title is equivalent to Eve's face.

Eve, who stayed at home alone, was also having a hard time. After Gabriel went out, she didn't turn on the phone again, and turned off all light sources, sealing herself in the isolated darkness.She's curled up on the bed, listless but unable to sleep, holding the big-headed Spider-Man in her arms as a substitute for Gabriel.She put it on her heart, or on her chin, or even on her lips, no matter what, it was silent and felt very good.

Not without remorse.The original intention of lying to Gabriel was not to hurt her, but to find a balance between Adam and Gabriel.But it turned out that this was her wish.Perhaps, it was because her ability was too poor and the way she chose was too sloppy that the problem that should have been solved was turned into a pot of muddy water.

Sleepiness has always been tempting Eve not far away, she yawned, still remembering in a daze, Gabriel went to work on the first day today, but he didn't sleep half the night last night, she had already seen the lack of energy this morning.That person's mood and spirit are equally as bad, so don't be scolded by the boss after something goes wrong... I don't know how the boss's temper is, whether the colleagues get along well, whether she is used to working there...

……

The day passed quickly, and when it was time to get off work, Gabriel said goodbye to his colleagues. Although he was extremely tired, he still couldn't help but look around for a while. I hurried home.

As soon as you enter the door, the whole room is dark, giving people a sense of heaviness for no reason. Gabriel turned on the light and changed shoes sleepily, and glanced at the shopping bag on the sofa, which still contained an open bag of cat food, and then she thought of Duck again, her heart felt sore, and her nose felt sore again.However, she still had some doubts as to why the cat food was opened, but at this moment she was powerless to inquire, so she passed the closed bedroom door, walked into the DVD room, closed the door, and collapsed into the sofa.

The sound of the door closing woke Eve up. She opened her eyes and knew that the night was coming again, and Duck had been missing for almost a day.She sighed, got up and walked out of the bedroom, her eyes touched the thin door of the DVD room, but she couldn't muster the courage to approach it.So he turned to persuade himself that Gabriel was very tired, and it was important to let her rest, but in fact he was looking for reasons for his cowardice, and he could escape for a while longer.

Opening the refrigerator door, Eve stared blankly at the last half bag of plasma.If she continues to accommodate Gabriel and doesn't meet Adam, she will have to find another business partner.She pursed her lips, took out the bag, and carefully poured out the bottom of the cup into the cup—it was not easy to find the next one, it was hard to come by, and she had to tighten her belly before she found it.

The darkness of the night became more raging and unrestrained in this impenetrable place, and even Eve rarely felt bored.She lifted the curtains, opened the window, and let the night wind stir the cramped room.The liquid in the cup was emptied in one gulp, her hand holding the cup was stiff, her head was sometimes sober and sometimes confused by the gust of wind pouring in.Therefore, the mind wavers along with indecision.

Are we going to come to a compromise here?

She has her freedom and the right to choose her friends. If she insists on continuing to communicate with Adam, Gabriel has no right to interfere.

But when two people are together, one of them has to compromise with the other, isn't it? Otherwise, how can those trivial bumps in daily life be resolved?Cherishing and compromise always go hand in hand. If you want to go for a long time, you must hide some edges and put away some edges and corners in a timely manner, so that the two sides can be more closely integrated.

She frowned, lying on the back of the sofa, tortured by contradictions.

After a short rest, Eve put the goblet on the low table, hesitated, and brought the bag of cat food, hoping to meet Duck and give him a full meal before blaming him.

When she walked out of the house, she turned on the mobile phone. After entering the password, the short messages poured in like a flood. It shook for a full minute. She took a look and found that they were all Adam's. That moment begins.

These news reminded her again of the uneasiness in her heart when she lied last night, and self-blame and remorse quickly invaded her heart that had just calmed down a little.She sighed softly, a little irritable, didn't read any of the messages, and just threw the phone into her pocket.

Just as she couldn't face Gabriel, she couldn't face Adam at this time.A friend who treats her sincerely, but she can't repay him with the same sincerity without any scruples, and even "involved" him a little because of the unpleasantness with Gabriel. At least, before this matter subsides, she may There is no way to get along with him without distraction, just like before.

……

Finding Duck is a hopeless endeavor, and Eve has heard that lost cats are hard to find again.But, like Gabriel, she couldn't give up, couldn't believe that Duck, who had been with them for so long, would never come back.She thought, it might just be for a long time, go out to see the higher sky, walk a longer distance, when the interest fades and the strength is exhausted, it will naturally feel homesick.

She searched the streets and alleys, but did not see Duck, but was attracted by the notices posted in the streets and alleys to find cats.She stopped and recognized Duck in the picture of the gray cat on the notice without looking closely.Because she remembered that photo, which was taken with Gabriel, the edge of the slipper faintly visible in the corner of the photo, and the lovely white toes painted with crystal blue nail polish, all came from Gabriel.

It was that day that they bought a few new bottles of nail polish, and Gabriel repeatedly emphasized that the white gold suits her very well, so she took the opportunity to rely on Gabriel and asked her to paint it for herself. Gabriel had just finished manicuring Duck's nails, and then came to help her again, joking that she was also a lazy cat.She simply lay in Gabriel's arms, like a well-behaved little pet, with Gabriel's arms around her, watching Gabriel trim and polish her nails one by one, and then meticulously painted it with shiny white gold.

The posture of being close to Gabriel made her feel warm, and the faint fragrance of freesia on Gabriel's body also turned into an invisible hook, luring her so that she could not escape.She couldn't help kissing Gabriel for a moment, then raised her head and continued to rest on Gabriel's fair neck, watching her reaction.However, Gabriel didn't react at all, his face was very flat, as if just a small blade of grass brushed across his cheek.This made her very frustrated, and she has been sleepy since then, but she didn't expect that when they took a bubble bath together at night, she was "bullyed" by Gabriel in the bathtub!Until finally when she managed to move herself out of the bathtub, her whole body was limp...

Eve stood in front of the cat-hunting notice, stuck in the sweetness of the past, and smiled unconsciously. Thinking of the frozen state of the two of them now, the smile froze on her face a little bit.This obsessive appearance frequently attracted the exploration or ridicule of passers-by, but she didn't realize it, all she could think about was GabrielGabrielGabriel.

It was only at this moment that she came to her senses. In fact, from then on, she should have known that Gabriel was not to be messed with.But she realized it later, and deserved to dig a hole by herself and ask for trouble.

She saw the cat hunting notice from beginning to end, and before leaving, she was attracted by the contact information on it.

An unfamiliar contact——

Gabriel didn't have a phone of his own, but didn't keep hers either.

She stared at the string of numbers for two seconds, then turned and left.

She didn't want to think about the reason.She likes to believe that Gabriel is doing this to protect her, and save her the trouble of being unable to come out to meet well-meaning people who provide clues or find cats during the day.

Being awkward is being awkward, but from the bottom of her heart, she is still the closest to Gabriel.I'm sure Gabriel did the same.

……

Eve spent the whole night and still got nothing.

Because she hadn't eaten enough the night before, when she finally got home, her face was already a little blue.

On the way, I met a young woman with a suitcase and a child, probably returning from a journey.She smelled a strong fragrance unique to Onegative blood type from a long distance. When they passed by, she tried her best to bear it, but she didn't know whether it was because the glint in her eyes was too scary, or because of her pair. The fangs that popped out before you knew it really didn't look like a clumsy prop for a masquerade party. In short, the little boy who was jumping up and down with his mother suddenly screamed, pointed at her and shrank behind his mother, frightened. The little face is pale.The boy's mother didn't know why, and looked at her inquiringly.She hurriedly turned her head away, quickened her pace, and fled in the direction of home, smiling miserably while fleeing.Everyone is afraid of vampires, but they don't know that the vampires in this world are the most pitiful. In order to keep the moral bottom line, they often can't even satisfy the most basic desires.Because I have witnessed how difficult it is for human beings to move towards a civilized society step by step, I would rather hide myself and let people think that vampires do not exist, and I cannot bear to destroy the balance of this world.

When returning home with heavy legs, Eve felt that he was about to die, hesitated again and again, and took out the remaining stock and drank a couple of sips.Then, he slumped into the sofa, unable to even move his strength.

The phone in her pocket vibrated again, and after a while, she took it out slowly, and glanced at the screen that was a bit dazzling in the dark.

Adam.

Be cruel and heartless, still press it down.This is already No.17 missed calls.

She didn't even have the strength to wash her face and change her clothes. Her body slumped on the sofa slowly slid into a supine position, with her palms covering her eyes, and fell asleep before dawn.
