[Zhongyingmei] Small vase

Chapter 18 The Ice Mouse

It was a necklace, designed in the shape of an eyeball, the entire eyeball was painted a weird orange red, and a ring of fireworks was inlaid in the eye socket.

Abby stretched out her hand to touch it, and the fireworks burned around the eyes like a burning fire ring, and then disappeared quickly; the remaining lifelike eyeballs creaked, and suddenly two sprouts grew from the inside. Row of pointed teeth, touching up and down, giving out a strange smile of "Jie Jie Jie".

The moment Abby saw it fall out, sobs overflowed from her throat; when she heard the laughter, her well-developed lacrimal glands could no longer control it, and tears rushed down.

She pressed the necklace to her heart, as if she could feel the familiar temperature again.

The teeth were still clenching up and down tirelessly, and suddenly it seemed that something had been bitten, and it made a "click, click, click" sound as if it was cold.

Abby froze for a moment, quickly held up the necklace in her hand, and looked at it carefully under the lamp.

The teeth are still "cracking", as if someone is chewing ice hard.

A look of confusion flashed across Abby's face.

The eyeball necklace has never made such a strange sound before, although the shape is really scary.When Abby received this gift, she almost jumped from her seat to the long table, but in fact, when the necklace exposed her teeth, nothing strange happened——

It just spit out a Bibi strange-flavored bean from Scarlet's mouth.

Abby ate it angrily on the spot, and it was surprisingly delicious.Bibi's Weird Beans were cappuccino flavored, and she still remembered the taste.

But now, the eyeballs are still energetically "clicking", as if they can scream for a lifetime.

Abby wiped her tears, and stuck her fingers between her teeth hesitantly.

An even stranger thing happened: the moment Abby's finger was inserted into the mouth, the "click" sound disappeared.The two rows of teeth were opened stiffly, and suddenly, as if they had eaten some irritant such as chili pepper, they spit out a ball of paper with a "poof".

The ball of paper bounced off the table and was caught by Abby.

She unfolded the crumpled paper ball and carefully flattened it under the light.

Seeing the familiar, round handwriting, Abby couldn't help showing a little smile on her face with teardrops.

Written on the ball of paper:

"You have to smile more, want to know why? 』

At the end, I added an ugly tongue sticking out emoji, and a small PS: "The answer is on the next page. 』

Abby turned the note over, and there were stick figures drawn on the back: a large and a small stickman, with thin lines, holding hands and swinging on the huge crater.

From Abby's point of view, it was a crater, the kind that is common on the moon; or the footprint of a prehistoric monster.

But the note said, 'Because then we can dance on your dimples! 』

It turned out that the crater was a dimple.

"Laugh!Be sure to smile more! 』

The stickman stands in the center of the picture, and the left and right sides of the pit are filled with meaningless onomatopoeias of "hahaha" and "tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap," which looks as lively as a flower blooming above his head.

Abby couldn't help but burst into tears.

She doesn't know how to describe how she feels at this moment: it's not that she's forgotten it, it's that she's been avoiding it for too long.Escape is her snail shell, the panacea for all problems.

In order to get rid of the unpleasant and even sad past, she allowed herself to travel across the ocean, from London to New York; at the same time, she let the precious gifts gather dust in the drawer box.

But now, she suddenly didn't want to escape.

She would like to thank her mother and Neville, if it wasn't for them, she might never have found the ball of paper.But when the paper ball was peeled off, all the happy and happy memories flooded in.

Abby touched the eyeball necklace one last time, hanging it around her neck and hiding it under her close-fitting clothing.

……

After finishing her own work for a week, Abby started to prepare a return gift for Steve.

Before they exchanged bodies, Steve gave her a pair of finely crafted earmuffs, and Abby wanted to give her a practical winter gift with a certain purpose, but after the terrible things they went through together, and Abby After causing so many troubles to others, she felt guilty, so she paid more attention to the preparation of gifts.

She cut several freezer vines from the greenhouse, and they were planted together with the probe ball, because it is not very conspicuous because of its petite size; but it has a great effect.

Abby spent a week weaving and repairing the freezer rattan into a modest box containing a bunch of her favorite snacks, all from Honeydukes.But she also took care not to choose particularly weird ones, such as the explosive bonbons and the black pepper naughty boy, whose magical effects are too eye-catching.

As soon as those colorful candies were put in, there was a "Zi" sound from the whole box, as if taking a breath, and white mist leaked from the opening and closing "mouth" of the box.

This is the beauty of the freezer vine: the box made of it can ensure the freshness of snacks, such as candy, which is easier to store, and can even last for decades.

Holding the precious little box, Abby knocked on the door of Steve's house.

She hadn't seen her neighbor for a week, and he didn't seem to be free either.Abby often pays attention at night, and sometimes it is not until the early morning that the familiar footsteps can be heard in the corridor.

But apparently she was lucky today, Steve was home.He quickly opened the door.

She was greeted with his usual sunny smile: "Hi, Abby."

He was wearing the apron that Abby had seen before. He looked like he had just wrestled with the kitchen for a long time, exuding the delicious smell of food.

Abby swallowed.Steve's ears moved, and the arc of his smile widened a little.

"Hi, Steve." She finally remembered the business, holding the snack box in both hands, looking like a tribute, "This is a gift for you."

"Oh...thank you, I really don't know what to say."

Steve wiped his apron deliberately with both hands, in the perfect houseboy pose.

His eyes suppressed a little eagerness very well, and he took the box over.

"Can I open it now?"

"of course."

Steve opened the mystery box.Even if he was prepared, he was still taken aback: the snacks in the box were piled up as high as a hill, filling the space to the brim, almost overflowing!

He was a little dumbfounded: he was too early to love sweets, and he was not a gluttonous little girl.

However, Abby introduced to him so seriously: "This is cream mint, but it looks like a toad... Actually it tastes good; this is Zizi honey candy, you should be careful when eating it: if you don't use it with your mouth Wrap it, it might splatter a lot of honey..."

She lowered her head when she spoke, with thick eyelashes and puffed cheeks, like a big Barbie doll.Any girl would want to have a Barbie doll like this in her childhood.

Steve relented immediately.If sharing snacks brings Abby joy, why wouldn't he accept the gift?

Although this gift seems a bit childish.

He pretends to be speechless with surprise, and if Iron Man were here right now, he'd be complaining about his poor performance: he looks like a grumpy granny getting back her beloved dentures.

"Oh my god Abby. I never thought you'd send me this, I love candy so much."

Abby laughed dimpled immediately: "Do you like it?"

Steve nodded: "Of course." In order to increase the credibility of his "like", he asked her, "Can I try one now?"

The candy is dark blue and shaped like a sharp little mouse, which is really cool.

"Wait, that might be a little icy—"

Abby tried to stop, a little nervously.But Captain America smiled and said "it doesn't matter"; he did think it didn't matter, after all, with his strong body—

He put the mouse candy in his mouth.chew--

"Crack."

O Holy Mary of my Jesus Christ! ! !

He only chewed one mouthful, and couldn't chew any more, so he could only hold it stiffly.It was really too cold, too cold, too cold, it was so cold that his brain was numb, and his teeth that he had just clenched were chattering wildly——

It was so cold that Captain America even wanted to swear.It is such a terrifying ice.

"It's a miniature ice mouse. Because it's too cold in winter, I only hid one at the bottom. I wanted to remind you to put it away before eating... Are you okay?"

Abby watched him nervously.Steve doesn't move, and neither does the smile on his face, looking completely petrified.

After a second, two seconds... After a full five seconds, all the spells of petrification were finally lifted.After all, Captain America is Captain America. He used his strong willpower to increase the stretching of his facial muscles, and squeezed out a natural smile again.

"I, I'm still fine."

But his teeth were still chattering, and he made a "creaking" sound from time to time, and he shook his words into waves.

Steve finally tried a repeater.

Abby wrinkled her face guiltily: "Yes, I'm sorry—"

Steve was most afraid of her expression, it was so pitiful that his heart was broken, and killing him would not be a crime.He tenaciously stabilized his voice, and waved his hands in the style of a general:

"It's okay. I have to blame myself, too reckless."

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Abby breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't know you liked candy so much..."

In the cold weather, the ice mice are so eager to swallow it, it's so refreshing!

Abby is touched by Steve's love of candy.

Merlin's snacks, she is really not sincere enough!

For this huge misunderstanding, Steve cried into a ball inside, and forced a smile on the outside.

He stretched out a hand and rubbed his numb cheeks, then abruptly changed the subject:

"I just made some milky pumpkin tart, and I'm worried that I can't finish it alone. Would you like to help me with one or two?"

...It turns out that it is the taste of milky pumpkin tart!

Abby finally knew where Steve's fragrant breath came from.

She rubbed her left heel against her right foot: "I..."

I kind of want to eat.

Seeing her hesitating, Steve added fuel to the fire: "Recently, I don't have a good appetite, and my food intake is so small that it bothers me a bit. Abby, help me."

Abby's head was muddled, and she looked at him dazedly.He showed a mouthful of white teeth in a smile, and the two upper teeth were slightly pointed, which actually looked a bit like the arc of a wolf.

The author has something to say:

The [-]-year-old man warned the wizard children: Don't eat ice mice in severe cold weather, don't ask him how he knows, you are trying to die.

Today is still Abby, a professional householder of Cengfan.

Luo Qihei, you feel your conscience!How many cows do you eat in one meal!You have the nerve to say that you have a bird stomach!

(Hmph! I'm scheming, bah

ps Combined with the previous ones, I think the clues I gave are quite obvious. Maybe someone will guess who gave the necklace?
