[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 72 Indecision
When the sun gradually sank to the surface of the earth, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the white clouds red, Cedric dragged his tired body slowly from the Quidditch training ground to the castle. At this time, he was still thinking about the training just now, and he knew that If I want to become an excellent seeker, I have to work harder to make up for my disadvantage in size.
Just when he was thinking deeply, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a girl sitting on the marble steps in the side corridor, with an open book on her lap, but she was not reading, but holding the book in her hand. The sandwich was broken into small pieces and sprinkled lightly on the ground where several robins were casting longing eyes at her.
Cedric didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after seeing the color of the girl's bow tie and knowing that she was a Ravenclaw, he subconsciously took a few more glances, because he paid more attention to Ravenclaw students recently.At the same time, he also felt that the twittering of the robins was very interesting, so he couldn't help standing still and watching for a while, and then he found that he knew the girl who was feeding the birds.
That seemed to be Cho's friend, Cedric thought.He decided to go over to say hello, but as soon as he walked over, the robins who were eating happily at first heard the approaching footsteps, and they all flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Seeing that the robin was scared away by himself, Cedric was a little embarrassed, but he calmly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hey, we met on the train. Remember?"
He was talking about what happened when he was going home during the Christmas holidays a while ago. Due to the successive attacks a while ago, no students were willing to stay in school this Christmas. Everyone was scrambling to get on the earliest bus home. , In this way, the train becomes very crowded, especially when you are full of luggage when you get on the train, if you are not careful, you are very likely to be squeezed and fall down.
When Cedric met Camelia for the first time, it was in this situation. She fell hard that day, and even the suitcase in her hand fell open, and the things inside fell to the ground, but the onlookers There were many, but none of them stepped forward to help, but stood there and sneered. In this way, she could only rely on herself.
Seeing this happening, Cedric couldn't sit still. He stepped forward to help and reminded those people to be careful not to step on her things, especially her clothes, because there were a few neat clothes When I picked it up, there were already several eye-catching footprints.
Perhaps seeing Cedric speak, many people who wanted to wait for an opportunity to retaliate stopped making trouble and just walked away. Afterwards, the same helpful friends around Cedric also came to help.
Just as things were almost packed, Qiu came over. She first talked with Camelia and learned what happened from her, and then she took it upon herself to speak to Cedric for Camelia. Sending a thankful smile, the very smile that made Cedric come home and complain about why this Christmas holiday was taking so long.
Camelia always remembered those who helped her very clearly, so she quickly recognized him, "Are you Digory?"
"Yes." Cedric sat next to Camelia and spread his hands, "Sorry, I scared the birds away."
Camelia told him it was okay, and then she took out a lunch box from behind her and asked Cedric if he wanted some sandwiches.
Cedric declined her offer. "No, I'm actually going to the auditorium. So this is your supper?"
Seeing Camelia nodding, he frowned, "With all due respect, you're not fat at all, and there's no need to go on a diet. It's not good for your health if you go on like this for a long time."
"No, I can't eat much, this is enough."
"Be obedient and go to the auditorium for dinner with me."
Camelia lowered her head and said softly, "I don't want to go."
Cedric recalled the scene on the train, and he understood, and said cautiously: "Did someone bully you?"
She shook her head, "No, no. I just... don't really like being in crowded places. Besides, there's been another attack, and everyone's been talking about the Heir of Slytherin lately, so I guess I'll just... Because I'm a pureblood."
So Cedric didn't force her, but he saw the wry smile on the girl's face, and his heart suddenly became heavy at that moment, but he didn't know why it happened, obviously he and her were not very familiar.
In order to make the atmosphere less awkward, he tried to change the subject.
"Then what book are you reading?"
After Cedric finished speaking, he touched his nose, wondering if it would be blunt to change the subject like this.
"Nothing, I'm just looking around."
Camelia showed the cover of the book to Cedric. There were a few planets drawn on it, and a few lines of formulas were written next to the planets. Cedric guessed that it was probably a Muggle book, but it didn't look like it anyway. The wizard's book.
"It seems very profound."
Afterwards, they didn't speak and just sat there together. Camelia continued to eat the sandwich she had for dinner in silence, but the robin who was scared away didn't fly back this time. Cedric felt that he should be with her. What to talk about, but he was not good at talking to girls, and he almost racked his brains and couldn't think of any suitable topics.
Together they watched the sun go down completely, and then they walked into the castle and parted in the great hall, Cedric heading for the auditorium and Camelia heading for the library.
A few days later, at the door of Camelia Ravenclaw's lounge, she met Cedric again. When she saw him, he was pacing back and forth outside the door.
"Hi, we meet again." He behaved a little unnaturally.
Just when Cedric was worrying about how to explain why he appeared here without expressing his intentions, Camelia asked directly, "Are you going in to find someone?"
So Cedric pointed at the eagle ring and showed a helpless smile, "Yeah, but as you can see, I'm in some trouble."
Because the problem of the Eagle Ring will be updated from time to time, Camelia stepped forward to check whether the above problem was still the same as the one in the morning, but as she expected, it was already a new problem.
"That's an interesting philosophical question, isn't it?"
"Yes, then how many angels do you think can stand on the tip of a needle?"
Camelia just thought about it for a while.
"My opinion is that angels belong to a kind of thing that only exists in people's imagination, and no one has actually seen it, so it can be said that he does not exist in space, but we cannot guarantee that it is in another dimension that we cannot recognize But the tip of the needle is different, it exists in the space. So my answer is that countless angels can stand on the tip of the needle, because the angel itself does not occupy a position in space.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eagle ring on the door opened, as if he couldn't be more satisfied with this answer.
"Before you, a few people from your college came back, but they were as clueless as I was about this problem, so they all went downstairs again. I heard they said they were going to the library to look for it. I didn't expect You figured it out all at once, it's amazing." Cedric praised, "If you came back later, I'm afraid I'd have gone away."
"Actually, there is no accurate answer to this kind of question. Everyone can have their own unique opinions. As long as you can come up with a reason and convince the eagle ring, it will open naturally."
They walked in together, and there were basically no people in the Ravenclaw common room during the day on a school day, so they could only see a few people who were concentrating on their studies in the common place.
Cedric scanned the surrounding area but couldn't find the person he was looking for, so he cheekily stopped Camelia who was about to walk towards the dormitory, "Sorry, I want to trouble you again, do you know Do you know where Qiu might be now?"
"Probably go to divination class. Is there anything you can do with her?" Camelia said.
"Well, I thought she didn't have a class, so I ran up specially, because I thought it might make me appear more sincere." Cedric said.
Camelia said, "Is there anything for her? Or something to say to her?"
"It's not an important thing, I just want to ask her if she would like to go to Hogsmeade village with me next week, but I think it's better for me to ask her face to face." Cedric said with some embarrassment , "But I didn't make the trip in vain. I am also very happy to meet you."
Camelia kindly explained to him, "You can go to the divination classroom later, or go to the library. Generally, people in our college don't go back to the lounge so early, especially during class days."
"I understand, you live in such a high place, it is really hard to climb the stairs every day. But why did you come back so early? Is there no class?"
"I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart when I was in the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class, so I came back early."
Cedric asked with concern, "Have you visited Ms. Pomfrey?"
"This is an old problem. I know it myself. It will be fine after I sleep." Camelia said, "But why do you care about me so much? We don't know each other well."
"I know Qiu and you are Qiu's friend, so I thought we were already friends."
"No, I'm not friends with her." She took a deep breath, "No one wants to be friends with someone like me."
"How come? I am willing to be your friend." He showed a bright smile.
Camelia's expression was obviously stagnant, and she opened her mouth to look like she wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Cedric repeated what she had just said, but this time there was another explanation.
"I would like to be your friend, you are obviously a very good girl."
But Camelia shook her head and denied Cedric's words, turned around and entered the girls' dormitory area.Because Hogwarts stipulates that boys are not allowed to break into the girls' dormitory, and the area is enchanted, if any boys step in, they will be ejected by the magic, so Cedric can't chase after him. He blamed himself for scaring people away.
It's just that they might really be destined, and it's only been a week since Cedric scared Camelia away that they met again.
"I can't sleep, come out to look at the stars." When Camelia spoke, her arms were still resting on the guardrail of the Astronomy Tower, resting her cheeks in thought.
"What a coincidence, so do I." Cedric stood beside her, "But lady, do you know that if you are caught at night tour, you will be locked up."
Camelia tilted her head and said to him, "Aren't you just like me?"
"So if someone comes later, we have to help each other." Cedric couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"What are you laughing at?" Camelia asked in confusion when she saw him smiling.
"It's nothing, I suddenly think you're cute."
Cedric thought that Camelia would be happy when he said that, because girls like to hear people say that she is beautiful or cute, and this is what he really thinks in his heart. As a pure Hufflepuff Oddly, he can hardly lie to people, but what he didn't know was that Camelia actually didn't like to be praised for her cuteness, and she turned her face away indifferently and didn't continue talking to Cedric.
Cedric was anxious when he saw this, wondering if she was angry, but he didn't know what he had said wrongly.Just as they were thinking this way, they heard some rustling sounds.
It was the man's heavy footsteps and heavy breathing, as well as the crisp sound of metal colliding, and the crackling sound of inferior kerosene burning.
The two thought to themselves that it was not good. It should be Filch the gatekeeper. At night, he likes to wander around the castle with a lamp. Be merciful, because his favorite thing is to punish students who violate discipline.
As the footsteps gradually approached, Camelia and Cedric had no choice but to climb over the guardrail and hide behind the pillar together. Both of them took out their wands from their pockets, ready at any time, thinking that if Phil Qi found out, at worst, he cast an Oblivion Curse while he was not paying attention, because he is a squib and does not know any magic, if they fight, they will not be their opponents at all.
Maybe Filch didn't check carefully because he was still sentimental about the murder of his cat, Mrs. Norris, or maybe he was sure that few students except the murderer had the courage to go out for a night tour, so he didn't even leave. When he came inside, he just stood at the stairs and held up the lamp to illuminate the surroundings. After he didn't find anyone, he cursed in a low voice and walked away.
Fearing that Filch would come back again, Cedric and Camelia didn't come out from behind the pillar immediately.
While Camelia was still tense, she heard Cedric beside her say with great joy: "This is a life-and-death friendship, right?"
"What kind of—"
Camelia was about to complain, but just as her tense nerves were relaxed, she almost couldn't stand still. At this time, a strong wind blew up again, and she was already on the verge of falling, and there was no one around them. Any protective measures, even if they were wizards, would kill them if they fell from such a high place, but fortunately, Cedric quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her in hard to escape the danger.
But at this moment, Cedric didn't dare to make any more jokes. He first protected Camelia and crawled back, while he followed behind.
As soon as Cedric landed, he couldn't wait to say: "Now it's time to go through life and death, and you really need to eat more. See, you were almost blown away by the wind just now."
Camelia blushed, "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite. If you want to thank you, why don't we make friends."
"Why do you want to make friends with me? My reputation is not good, you should stay away from me, or you will be hurt." Camelia looked a little surprised, "Because there were people before... but you I am already very happy if you are willing to talk to me, thank you. But forget about being friends, I am used to being alone."
"You are a good girl, and I believe you will be a good friend, so I am willing to be your friend. This is my own business, and I don't care what others think of it."
She looked like she was about to cry, and then she said thank you. For some reason, Cedric's heart was pulled by something for no reason. He couldn't think of why he said thank you for such a thing. He obviously didn't do anything.When Cedric thought about it later, he regretted it very much. If he could understand what the sudden heartache meant at that time, wouldn't there be so many regrets between them.
Cedric liked Qiu at that time, but he couldn't say what he liked about her specifically, he just felt that being with her was very relaxing. He knew that Qiu was the girl back then, and he also felt that she was different because of that incident. But what he can be sure of is that at first this feeling was not liking, but more gratitude, but as we gradually got along, that little gratitude turned into a little bit of liking, and then it accumulated over time, and when he found that every time he saw Qiu, his mood was different. Only when she recovered immediately did she realize that she seemed to be in love with her.
But this firm liking was shaken after Cedric and Camelia gradually got to know each other, because he found that when he was with Camelia, he felt like when he was with Qiu, but they clearly They are two very different people, almost everyone thinks so, but in Cedric's eyes they are so similar in some places.
Can a guy like two girls at the same time?
Because of this, Cedric was almost confused by himself, and sometimes he would tell himself repeatedly in his heart that the girl he liked was Cho, especially when he was with Cho, because he often thought of Camelia, which made him feel very sad. He couldn't forgive himself, even though he hadn't dated Qiu at that time, but he was very principled and still felt that he was being unfaithful to his relationship, obviously he was sure that he liked Qiu.
As early as when Qiu and Qiu were still in an ambiguous stage, Cedric always ran to the Ravenclaw common room, but the problem with the eagle ring was full of strange things, not to mention him as a Hufflepuff, even some Ravenclaws Lao's students are always stumped, and they can only wait outside the door for those who can answer them back, but no matter how weird Eagle Ring's questions are, it is a piece of cake in front of Camelia, so Se Whenever Derek needs to enter the Ravenclaw lounge, he always has the cheek to go to Camelia for the answer to the eagle ring.
But in fact, there are some problems that Cedric can solve by himself, but even if he knows the answer, he must go to Camelia to check it. Although she sometimes makes fun of her, he can't solve it. Control yourself not to go to her.On the surface, it seemed that he frequently went to Ravenclaw's lounge to find Qiu, but the truth was that he was finding an excuse for himself to have more contact with Camelia.
During the summer holidays, when Cedric was writing to Cho, he tried not to think about Camelia.
When he was at home, he found that he felt much better because he could not see Camelia in person, and then he felt that he liked Cho better, although she was sometimes cold to him, and sometimes she was very enthusiastic, and she looked just like Iris. As April guessed for Cedric with the greatest malice, she deliberately treated him hot and cold like this for fun, or she thought she had him in her hands and played hard-to-catch tricks with him. If Qiu really thinks this way, it’s not surprising that Qiu really thinks so. After all, she is very popular in school, and she has the confidence to play with her temper, but Cedric doesn’t Would like to believe that she is so.
During the summer vacation, in order to exercise himself, Cedric went to Lihen Bookstore to apply for a temporary job. Due to the heavy daily workload, he had no time to think about those tangled things.Just when he thought he had corrected the mistake of mistaking his friendship with Camelia for love, he met Camelia who came to the store to buy books while working one day.
She didn't wear a wizard's robe that day, she was dressed like a real Muggle girl, and she didn't wear the pair of black-rimmed glasses. Her upper body was a simple short-sleeved shirt, and she wore a suspender denim skirt underneath. She also paired a headband of the same color as the shirt, and the big butterfly on her head trembled as she walked. Standing far away and not looking carefully, she thought it was a butterfly resting on her hair. .
That feeling was different from seeing her at school, Cedric couldn't tell what was different, but he knew he wasn't just a silly boy obsessed with pretty faces.
In the most secret corner of the bookstore, they squatted and rummaged through ancient books together. At this moment, Cedric felt a burst of nervousness for no reason. Camelia, nothing else, but he forgot for a moment that the word friend existed.He probably had vaguely realized it at that time, but he still didn't fully understand what he was thinking about her.
When Cedric, who started working very seriously, felt that she seemed to be approaching his direction, his heart immediately became flustered. When he was excited, he couldn't help flipping the book a little more, and the dust that was raised up was all towards him. Floating in the direction of Camelia beside him, she was choked by the dust and started to cough. Cedric was extremely embarrassed, and straightened up to take her out first, but he bumped his head against the bookshelf without noticing. In this way, Camelia began to blame herself again, bluntly saying that it was all her fault and she shouldn't bother him.
But Cedric thought it was obvious that he was clumsy and didn't serve his guests well, and he found out that Camelia was always apologizing to people, and it was clear that many things were not her fault, which made him feel even more sorry.
Fortunately, she finally found the book she wanted without any risk, but a sudden rainstorm later trapped her in the bookstore temporarily.For a moment Cedric wondered if this was God's will, but he quickly put such absurd thoughts out of his mind, and it happened that the manager of the bookstore over there ordered him to make a cup of tea and bring it to Camelia.
The manager appreciates Cedric very much. Except at work, he is easy to get along with in private and cares about his employees.Cedric knew that the manager must have misunderstood, and he must have regarded Camelia as the girl he liked, but he didn't explain it, but thought that the manager was right, and he should really make a cup for her at this time Good tea.
After delivering the tea, Cedric started to work on the unfinished work again. When he looked up halfway through the work, he found that the rain outside the window was still falling endlessly, and he had no intention of stopping at all. He found that Cammy The tea in Lia's teacup was about to run out, and she was staring out of the window with her chin resting on her cheeks, wondering what she was thinking. At this moment, Cedric discovered her cuteness again, but it also made him feel uncomfortable. After spending most of the summer vacation, I was once again confused about what I thought I wanted to understand.
The author has something to say:
I originally finished writing the "Original Sin" series because I wanted to write something sweet, because I was thinking about Qixi Festival, but after seeing the depressing feedback from readers in the previous chapter, I changed my mind and finished writing all the episodes related to the previous life first.Regarding this extra episode, I think there will be a lot of controversy, so I haven’t written it for a long time. Since there is still the next part to be written, I have thought of some possible doubts about this extra episode, which will be in the author’s statement of the next article The explanation is mainly to explain why Seid’s liking in the previous life was so contradictory. The reason for the explanation is that some readers may not understand the meaning expressed in the text, so I will express my thoughts and see if I can understand.
At the end of the last article, let me just briefly mention that, excluding the encounter in the Astronomy Tower, in the previous life, Jamie met Seid much later than in the later life. When Jamie met Seid in the previous life, Seid had already had a crush on Qiu. , and even liked her already, and he is a very principled person, even if he later realizes that he has a strange liking for Jiami, he still thinks that he likes Qiu.
As for the others, I will put down an analysis.
Just when he was thinking deeply, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a girl sitting on the marble steps in the side corridor, with an open book on her lap, but she was not reading, but holding the book in her hand. The sandwich was broken into small pieces and sprinkled lightly on the ground where several robins were casting longing eyes at her.

It was the man's heavy footsteps and heavy breathing, as well as the crisp sound of metal colliding, and the crackling sound of inferior kerosene burning.
The two thought to themselves that it was not good. It should be Filch the gatekeeper. At night, he likes to wander around the castle with a lamp. Be merciful, because his favorite thing is to punish students who violate discipline.
As the footsteps gradually approached, Camelia and Cedric had no choice but to climb over the guardrail and hide behind the pillar together. Both of them took out their wands from their pockets, ready at any time, thinking that if Phil Qi found out, at worst, he cast an Oblivion Curse while he was not paying attention, because he is a squib and does not know any magic, if they fight, they will not be their opponents at all.
Maybe Filch didn't check carefully because he was still sentimental about the murder of his cat, Mrs. Norris, or maybe he was sure that few students except the murderer had the courage to go out for a night tour, so he didn't even leave. When he came inside, he just stood at the stairs and held up the lamp to illuminate the surroundings. After he didn't find anyone, he cursed in a low voice and walked away.
Fearing that Filch would come back again, Cedric and Camelia didn't come out from behind the pillar immediately.
While Camelia was still tense, she heard Cedric beside her say with great joy: "This is a life-and-death friendship, right?"
"What kind of—"
Camelia was about to complain, but just as her tense nerves were relaxed, she almost couldn't stand still. At this time, a strong wind blew up again, and she was already on the verge of falling, and there was no one around them. Any protective measures, even if they were wizards, would kill them if they fell from such a high place, but fortunately, Cedric quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her in hard to escape the danger.
But at this moment, Cedric didn't dare to make any more jokes. He first protected Camelia and crawled back, while he followed behind.
As soon as Cedric landed, he couldn't wait to say: "Now it's time to go through life and death, and you really need to eat more. See, you were almost blown away by the wind just now."
Camelia blushed, "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite. If you want to thank you, why don't we make friends."
"Why do you want to make friends with me? My reputation is not good, you should stay away from me, or you will be hurt." Camelia looked a little surprised, "Because there were people before... but you I am already very happy if you are willing to talk to me, thank you. But forget about being friends, I am used to being alone."
"You are a good girl, and I believe you will be a good friend, so I am willing to be your friend. This is my own business, and I don't care what others think of it."
She looked like she was about to cry, and then she said thank you. For some reason, Cedric's heart was pulled by something for no reason. He couldn't think of why he said thank you for such a thing. He obviously didn't do anything.When Cedric thought about it later, he regretted it very much. If he could understand what the sudden heartache meant at that time, wouldn't there be so many regrets between them.
Cedric liked Qiu at that time, but he couldn't say what he liked about her specifically, he just felt that being with her was very relaxing. He knew that Qiu was the girl back then, and he also felt that she was different because of that incident. But what he can be sure of is that at first this feeling was not liking, but more gratitude, but as we gradually got along, that little gratitude turned into a little bit of liking, and then it accumulated over time, and when he found that every time he saw Qiu, his mood was different. Only when she recovered immediately did she realize that she seemed to be in love with her.
But this firm liking was shaken after Cedric and Camelia gradually got to know each other, because he found that when he was with Camelia, he felt like when he was with Qiu, but they clearly They are two very different people, almost everyone thinks so, but in Cedric's eyes they are so similar in some places.
Can a guy like two girls at the same time?
Because of this, Cedric was almost confused by himself, and sometimes he would tell himself repeatedly in his heart that the girl he liked was Cho, especially when he was with Cho, because he often thought of Camelia, which made him feel very sad. He couldn't forgive himself, even though he hadn't dated Qiu at that time, but he was very principled and still felt that he was being unfaithful to his relationship, obviously he was sure that he liked Qiu.
As early as when Qiu and Qiu were still in an ambiguous stage, Cedric always ran to the Ravenclaw common room, but the problem with the eagle ring was full of strange things, not to mention him as a Hufflepuff, even some Ravenclaws Lao's students are always stumped, and they can only wait outside the door for those who can answer them back, but no matter how weird Eagle Ring's questions are, it is a piece of cake in front of Camelia, so Se Whenever Derek needs to enter the Ravenclaw lounge, he always has the cheek to go to Camelia for the answer to the eagle ring.
But in fact, there are some problems that Cedric can solve by himself, but even if he knows the answer, he must go to Camelia to check it. Although she sometimes makes fun of her, he can't solve it. Control yourself not to go to her.On the surface, it seemed that he frequently went to Ravenclaw's lounge to find Qiu, but the truth was that he was finding an excuse for himself to have more contact with Camelia.
During the summer holidays, when Cedric was writing to Cho, he tried not to think about Camelia.
When he was at home, he found that he felt much better because he could not see Camelia in person, and then he felt that he liked Cho better, although she was sometimes cold to him, and sometimes she was very enthusiastic, and she looked just like Iris. As April guessed for Cedric with the greatest malice, she deliberately treated him hot and cold like this for fun, or she thought she had him in her hands and played hard-to-catch tricks with him. If Qiu really thinks this way, it’s not surprising that Qiu really thinks so. After all, she is very popular in school, and she has the confidence to play with her temper, but Cedric doesn’t Would like to believe that she is so.
During the summer vacation, in order to exercise himself, Cedric went to Lihen Bookstore to apply for a temporary job. Due to the heavy daily workload, he had no time to think about those tangled things.Just when he thought he had corrected the mistake of mistaking his friendship with Camelia for love, he met Camelia who came to the store to buy books while working one day.
She didn't wear a wizard's robe that day, she was dressed like a real Muggle girl, and she didn't wear the pair of black-rimmed glasses. Her upper body was a simple short-sleeved shirt, and she wore a suspender denim skirt underneath. She also paired a headband of the same color as the shirt, and the big butterfly on her head trembled as she walked. Standing far away and not looking carefully, she thought it was a butterfly resting on her hair. .
That feeling was different from seeing her at school, Cedric couldn't tell what was different, but he knew he wasn't just a silly boy obsessed with pretty faces.
In the most secret corner of the bookstore, they squatted and rummaged through ancient books together. At this moment, Cedric felt a burst of nervousness for no reason. Camelia, nothing else, but he forgot for a moment that the word friend existed.He probably had vaguely realized it at that time, but he still didn't fully understand what he was thinking about her.
When Cedric, who started working very seriously, felt that she seemed to be approaching his direction, his heart immediately became flustered. When he was excited, he couldn't help flipping the book a little more, and the dust that was raised up was all towards him. Floating in the direction of Camelia beside him, she was choked by the dust and started to cough. Cedric was extremely embarrassed, and straightened up to take her out first, but he bumped his head against the bookshelf without noticing. In this way, Camelia began to blame herself again, bluntly saying that it was all her fault and she shouldn't bother him.
But Cedric thought it was obvious that he was clumsy and didn't serve his guests well, and he found out that Camelia was always apologizing to people, and it was clear that many things were not her fault, which made him feel even more sorry.
Fortunately, she finally found the book she wanted without any risk, but a sudden rainstorm later trapped her in the bookstore temporarily.For a moment Cedric wondered if this was God's will, but he quickly put such absurd thoughts out of his mind, and it happened that the manager of the bookstore over there ordered him to make a cup of tea and bring it to Camelia.
The manager appreciates Cedric very much. Except at work, he is easy to get along with in private and cares about his employees.Cedric knew that the manager must have misunderstood, and he must have regarded Camelia as the girl he liked, but he didn't explain it, but thought that the manager was right, and he should really make a cup for her at this time Good tea.
After delivering the tea, Cedric started to work on the unfinished work again. When he looked up halfway through the work, he found that the rain outside the window was still falling endlessly, and he had no intention of stopping at all. He found that Cammy The tea in Lia's teacup was about to run out, and she was staring out of the window with her chin resting on her cheeks, wondering what she was thinking. At this moment, Cedric discovered her cuteness again, but it also made him feel uncomfortable. After spending most of the summer vacation, I was once again confused about what I thought I wanted to understand.
The author has something to say:
I originally finished writing the "Original Sin" series because I wanted to write something sweet, because I was thinking about Qixi Festival, but after seeing the depressing feedback from readers in the previous chapter, I changed my mind and finished writing all the episodes related to the previous life first.Regarding this extra episode, I think there will be a lot of controversy, so I haven’t written it for a long time. Since there is still the next part to be written, I have thought of some possible doubts about this extra episode, which will be in the author’s statement of the next article The explanation is mainly to explain why Seid’s liking in the previous life was so contradictory. The reason for the explanation is that some readers may not understand the meaning expressed in the text, so I will express my thoughts and see if I can understand.
At the end of the last article, let me just briefly mention that, excluding the encounter in the Astronomy Tower, in the previous life, Jamie met Seid much later than in the later life. When Jamie met Seid in the previous life, Seid had already had a crush on Qiu. , and even liked her already, and he is a very principled person, even if he later realizes that he has a strange liking for Jiami, he still thinks that he likes Qiu.
As for the others, I will put down an analysis.
