[Zhongyingmei] If you don't dig a hole, you will die

After the first expected visitor came, the guys who came later came from all over the world, and they had nothing to do with her:

For example, Pamela, who is currently working as a teaching assistant for Hetty's professor.She asked Hetty for a long sick leave, and it was okay for her to rest at home for a while before going back;

She also said that if she can't keep up with her homework, she will bring books and courseware to make up for her in person. With rich theoretical and practical experience, as an "excellent graduate", she is smart enough to tutor someone with homework. Hetty poked more than enough.

Another example is that she arrived right after Jason, but waited for Jason to leave before coming in to visit Natasha, her SHIELD representative.

When Natasha came, she brought her a new document, which was different from the previous one. The main content can be summed up as "After confirming that you are not dangerous, we will be responsible for your personal safety, and we will take care of it." your" treaty;

This new treaty raised her security level by more than one notch.However, the destination was completely sealed with opaque black wax paint, and Hetty was not told where her security and files were transferred.

It's just that "it can better ensure her safety" written in black and white on it, so Hetty signed it in a daze.

Another example is many of her classmates.Although everyone thinks that Hetty is usually a cold-faced top student, and feels a bit out of place with them——

The same persona might not be very flattering on just anyone—but Hetty is so good-looking and good-looking, and she's been too good for the girls before.

So their feelings towards Hetty became complicated, somewhere between "really envious" and "dare not approach";

After the girl who "if she attends classes 360 and [-] days a year, Hetty Brown may really not be absent all year round" took a sick leave for the first time, she has been fighting endlessly with her two kinds of Among the attitudes, the third attitude of "going to care about it" that popped up suddenly prevailed.

The flowers and snacks they sent directly filled half of Hetty's room, and the snacks for the remaining half of the room were provided by the guys in the "Daily Planet" who once had a brief colleague relationship with her. delivered.

The system watched as Hetty's room was gradually filled with various things.But the person who should have appeared at this moment and was connected with her blood did not come, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be sad, Hetty, you also know the nature of her job. Geologist, a year They haven’t been home for more than ten months, not to mention that no one knows where their team has gone, and it is very likely that they are still in the remote mountains and old forests.”

"She just failed to receive the news of your accident. If she did, she would definitely come here as soon as possible!"

Hetty nodded slightly, showing an almost imperceptible smile: "Okay, I would like to borrow your words."

If the system had an entity, it would have been in a hurry by now.But it was not easy for her to tell Hetty what she had done, so it was as if she was asking for credit, and finally persuaded Hetty: "She will come back, little Hetty! You have to believe me!"

It can be seen from this that no matter which world Hetty is in, she is not the kind of person who will take credit.

They might try to amuse people with little, innocuous things.But if they really do something important that can actually help others, their mouths will be tighter than clams until the last moment, and no one will be able to pry out half a word from it, even if Not even Hetty herself.

Hetty knew this characteristic of herself too well, and Pamela had gently reminded her that she would suffer in this regard;

As for herself in another world, she was also very confident. After all, she was all herself, so she asked suspiciously, "Did you help me again? Are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter to me!" The system felt that it was about to turn itself into a spinning top right now:

"What do you think I was doing when you were in that world? I'm helping you, silly girl, but if this method doesn't work, if I leave in the future, you will really have no relatives to rely on Already!"

Hetty was startled, and just when she was about to say something, she suddenly heard someone unlock her door with a key, and the sound of messy footsteps hurriedly came to her door——

Her pupils shrank.

Sure enough, no matter how anxious and messy the footsteps were, after the owner of the footsteps came to her door, he knocked on the door three times in a very polite and unhurried manner: "Hetty Brown, please open the door .”

Hetty stumbled off the bed, and opened the door, and the weather-beaten face outside the door, which was still five points similar to her, came into her eyes:

This is a very perfect, very elegant woman.Even on the forehead, neck, the corners of the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes where age is most likely to be exposed, there are countless fine lines quietly spreading, indicating that she is getting old.

But she still has a kind of demeanor that is not angry.As long as she stands here, no one will question her identity and feel that she is a good match.

Even a blind person could tell from her voice, which was as cold as if it had just been quenched in ice water, and could cut through the air, that she was not a small person.

Only when communicating with Hetty, her voice would often be raised to the point of being too harsh due to loss of control and exhaustion.

However, when she was not "Hetty Brown's mother", but "Mrs. Brown, a geologist", no one could have imagined that the word "gaffe" could appear on her.

Even Hetty, as a child, thought she might be out of her mind the first time she saw a completely different side of her mother at work than in life.

With such a mother as a teacher for a long time, it is almost a matter of course that she will implement a high-pressure education method——

Don't you still expect a piece of ice to show the posture of spring wind turning rain?

Hetty just took a quick look and didn't dare to look any more. She lowered her head, avoiding the gaze of those blue-green eyes like hers, and called out in a low voice: "Mother..."

She didn't expect to get any humane answer, she stood there dejectedly, ready to accept the stormy reprimand from Mrs. Brown, but after half a day, there was no movement from the person in front of her.

Hetty looked up in half-shock and doubt, but immediately noticed something amiss:

Her mother, Mrs. Brown's eyes, hidden behind her eyes, were flushed, as if she had just cried, or...

It was as if the act of "standing in front of Hetty's door" exhausted all her ability to control her emotions, and also exhausted her ability to be angry.

She took a step back cautiously, and asked tentatively, "I, shall I pour water for you?"

Mrs. Brown didn't answer her, just walked into her bedroom, closed the door casually, hung the coat on the hanger at the door, and sat down with the whole movement. It's not like letting her mask collapse in half.

The corners of her clothes still bear traces of dust.Sure enough, as the system said, this geologist just came out of an unknown ravine;

However, when she spoke, her voice was calm like it rarely appeared in front of Hetty.Even a little hoarse: "Hetty Brown."

Hetty thought that in the next second, she would hear the phrase "let's talk" that brought her countless nightmares again, but what she never expected was that Mrs. Brown crossed her fingers and put her chin on her hand But what he said was completely different: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

This geologist, who has been strong in front of his daughter all his life and cold-faced in front of his colleagues, bosses and students, finally showed a different look.

She took off the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and said to Hetty: "Give you a day, I will be here and not going anywhere. No matter what you say, I won't refute."

"Okay, let's start talking."

Hetty couldn't believe what she heard, she was dreaming about this day, so she trembled her lips and stammered and asked: "Really, really? Is what you said true? "

Mrs Brown looked into Hetty's eyes.After she took off her glasses, she showed a sharp gaze that was completely different from Hetty's. She stared at her daughter for a long time. It was the first time that Hetty experienced this kind of expression that outsiders have said countless times. "Be seen through from the inside out" means:

"When did I ever lie to you, Hetty Brown?"

This is real.Although Mrs. Brown's parenting style is not the problem at point 01:30.

But she has always been a person who keeps her promises, she is what she says, and those guys who don't take promises seriously are indeed two kinds of people.

After getting her mother's promise, Hetty began to cry for a moment, as if she was about to cry. Over the years, she has been asked by Mrs. Brown to "be well-behaved and sensible", to "be a good child", and to ask for this and that. But she never paid attention to the grievances in her heart, as if she vented them all through tears.

She cried so heartbreakingly that she didn't retain the slightest image, and she spoke in a messed up manner.

However, even so, she didn't complain to her mother, and the most serious sentence was nothing more than this——

"I haven't even been able to live a good life as an independent self!"

The way the two get along is completely reversed now.Normally, Mrs. Brown was responsible for all the talking, but today, it was Hetty who spoke.

Mrs. Brown really didn't say a word, she just poured a glass of water for Hetty when she was tired from crying, and sat on a chair beside her at other times, listening to Hetty's crying silently.

It took several hours before Hetty's emotions gradually calmed down.

Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen.But in my heart, I feel that I have never been so happy in my life.

And at this moment, Mrs. Brown finally spoke, and said something that made Hetty feel that she might really be dreaming at this moment:

"You're right, boy, it's all my fault."
