Childhood sweethearts are magic sticks [Comprehensive Yingmei]
Hexagram 45 - Chapter 45
Peter's concern for her made Ruth, who was going to sleep directly and have a good rest, finally dried her hair, sat at the desk in front of the window and took out parchment and quill.
"Buzz-buzz!"
Just as the quill was inserted into the ink bottle, the sudden vibration of the phone made Ruth's hands tremble. The quill, which she was not holding hard, fell into the ink bottle, and the invisible ink was splashed onto the paper and pajama cuffs.
"Hmm..." Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly, and while taking out the quill, she pressed the ON button with her little finger, and with her left hand holding the parchment, she squeezed the wand against the cuff and the paper, "Clean it up."
Stains that only Ruth could see were cleaned up.
"Hello, Peter?" Ruth put her wand back in satisfaction, lowered her head while writing on the paper, and greeted the person on the other end of the video call, "I'm already writing to Professor Pritchett, are you actually Don't worry about me so much."
Now I can finally clean it up with a wave of my wand when the ink is spilled, and the saving of not having to find a new piece of paper adds to Ruth's already happy mood.
After all, if you own something for a long time, whether it is human or magic, you will become accustomed to it, so that you will forget the excitement and novelty when you first met him.
"Oh, by the way, it's just a simple..." She wrote down the name of 'Pritchett'. She didn't hear Peter speaking in the video, and thought he was worried that she used magic again just now, and was planning to tell Peter Explain that it's just a little magic, not as difficult as 'apparition'.
Unexpectedly, the voice from the opposite side of the video interrupted her.
"You and Peter are in touch again?" It wasn't Peter's voice!
Ruth raised her head abruptly, a pair of black eyes jumped into her sight first, pale face and meticulous black hair, it was already eleven o'clock at night, but she was still dressed up and dressed as if she had just attended someone's party .
When I got home, I called Ruth before I could change my clothes.
"Harry?" Ruth moved the wand that was randomly placed on the table towards the back of the video screen, and then asked, "Calling so late, what's the matter?"
She ignored Harry's question about Peter. Although the two of them had more frequent contact than Peter, since she broke up with Peter in the third year of high school, she and Harry had reached a tacit understanding, and never talked about Peter during small talk.
"Oh, by the way, you look, um...have a good time." Ruth looked carefully at Harry in the video, then looked at the background of the interior furnishings behind him, and said with a smile, "A while ago Are those things that you have a headache about to solve? Is work going well, and the body?"
She asked so many questions in a row that a normal person would forget the original 'question' after slowly answering each of her questions.
"Yes, what I want to tell you is indeed related to these." Harry's actions were exactly the same as Ruth's, and he also moved something on the table to the back of the video, "The work is going well, I just participated in the staff's party , They respect me a lot more than before... Uh, no, I mean, who cares if they respect or not, they are all working for me."
At the beginning of the serious reply, it seemed that he couldn't make up any more, Harry took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair violently, and exhaled the breath in his chest again.
"None of them matter." Harry unbuttoned his collar with his long fingers, and looked up at Ruth.
But what is that hidden thing?Ruth was a little concerned.
Because she seemed to see that he was hiding something similar to a 'photo', and what was even more strange was that the color of the photo was very similar to the color of the clown's clothing.
At first, Harry pinched a corner of those photos, probably wanting to show her, but why did he change his mind immediately after mentioning Peter?
She really cared about this flash of suspicious action.
"I just want to know that you and Peter are in touch again, right?" It's a pity that Harry didn't intend to answer all Ruth's questions at all, he just wanted to keep chasing the first question.
"Why, didn't you say you didn't love him?"
"Who is Pritchett?"
"And why should Peter worry about you? Has something happened to you?"
"Why don't I know?"
Step by step.
**
The conversation with Harry was cut off hastily. He was unwilling to tell Ruth what was the cause of the pain that caused him physical pain and distress for a long time. He just said that 'the solution has been found'.
He didn't show Ruth what he had just hidden, ignored Ruth's repeated refusal to answer Peter-related questions, and kept asking questions.
He behaved strangely like Peter after he was entangled in venom, irritable and without grace.It was as if Harry had actually endured it for a long time, always covering his heart with a warm appearance.
What broke his disguise and irritated him was Ruth's intimate conversation with Peter without raising her head.
The inflated balloon was poked by the tip of the needle, and with a "bang", it exploded.
"I'm in love with Peter again, okay?"
Ruth said irritably with a quill, scribbling a message to Pritchett on a piece of paper.
She also has a temper. She obviously has no relationship with Harry other than friends, and clearly rejected him when he confessed.
"Obviously at the beginning we agreed to just be friends, if you want to develop further, I can stay away from you and not contact you!"
"We are not boyfriend and girlfriend! Harry, why did you suddenly behave like this tonight!"
"And, whether I'm with Peter or not, whether I'm in contact with him or not, it has nothing to do with you, does it?"
At first she avoided Harry's questioning, unwilling to tell him the latest developments in her relationship with Peter.
One reason is that after graduating from school, even if they contacted each other, it was inevitable that the relationship between the two would become farther apart.
She was obsessed with making potions, while Harry was busy managing the company. Since taking over from Osborne, Harry seemed to be a different person. He became mysterious, and his life and work seemed to suddenly become a secret.
Secondly, Harry once liked her. Although after the refusal, he was very careful not to embarrass Ruth at all when getting along with her. For a while, Ruth even felt that he really didn't like her anymore. Just get along with ordinary friends.
But she didn't want to mention it because she respected Harry.
But Harry's relentless pursuit was completely disrespectful to Ruth's performance.
"Yes..." Ruth looked angry, and with a few words in a row, Harry woke up who was in annoyance. He touched his nose in embarrassment and apologized.
"……sorry."
Ruth had a good temper, and she was almost never angry with Harry, or anyone at all.The small amount of anger can be treated as coquettishness.
But this time she was so angry, and she used a quill pen to scratch vigorously on the seemingly rough paper, as if she was writing but forgot to dip the ink, she must have been offended by him and made her dizzy.
—Harry thought so.
"I was wrong. I've been really tired recently, and I didn't control myself just now."
Harry's apologetic face was very convincing, and his well-groomed appearance couldn't hide his indescribable exhaustion.
He was suddenly furious, and then felt that his gaffe just now was really inexplicable.
The fact that Peter and Ruth got in touch again really messed up his position. Originally, he planned to pursue Ruth well after dealing with the company's affairs and his 'genetic disease'. Originally, he thought there was still time.
But now, the sense of crisis makes him feel that the method of slowly softening Ruth by 'being a friend' is too roundabout. Maybe after being a friend for a long time, he really becomes a 'friend'.
But he shouldn't be angry in the first place, as Ruth said, he has no right to be angry.
But disease always makes people dizzy.
"I don't intend to offend you, but Ruth, you know that my feelings for you have not changed in the past few years. They have been hidden in my heart for a long time and will always..."
Now that you've already got a good impression, it's better to take the opportunity to make it clear, but the girl also noticed what he meant.
"Don't tell me about the sickness, and don't tell me when you encounter distress."
She interrupted Harry.
"I'm really worried about you. We're friends. You're the only friend I've had since Gwen passed out."
Pull back the relationship he desperately put aside.
"And as a friend, you don't qualify."
She said the word 'friend' over and over again, pointed out her relationship with Harry over and over again, and reminded Harry over and over again.She was afraid that Harry would continue the topic just now, and she didn't know how to answer it.
"As a friend you should... you should..." But there were so many words about 'friends', and every sentence was forced to be quoted above, and Harry interrupted her after a few sentences.
"I know, but I didn't intend to be your friend at all!" He shook his head, his rebuttal words were weak, and his tone was somewhat helpless.
Judging from what Ruth said just now, Harry knew that the two of them would not be able to discuss anything today.
But his purpose must be clear to Ruth: "You have to remember this, from the beginning to the end, I like you, and it has never changed."
You can't quarrel, get angry, and lose a lot of favors, but nothing changes except alienation.
Ruth froze there and seriously said every word of Harry she didn't want to hear to the other end of the video, speechless.
She didn't know how to ask so as not to hurt the heart of the black-haired boy in front of her. Could it be that she wanted to say, "But you promised that we would only be friends before I would continue to contact you"?
No one could ever say that cruel sentence to Harry, even if it was true.
"It's true that I went too far today, and I can't remember why I called you..."
Harry shook his head, it was more like he was talking to himself than talking on the phone, with more and more helplessness in his voice, "Oh, yes, I just wanted to say that I have been busy for the past two days and have not contacted you. The way to treat my disease, I also found a way to get the potion today. I remember you know Spider-Man, because I need to get my potion from him..."
"But forget it now, I'm sorry, you don't need to be fidgety and draw on the paper, and be careful not to cut your hands." He looked up at the screen, "It's getting late, I'll call you again in a few days .”
After speaking, without waiting for Ruth's reply, he hung up the phone directly, leaving behind Ruth who was finally in a good mood, and after a conversation, was full of troubles.
After writing the letter in a messy brain, and letting Tessa bite and send it, Ruth thought about it and sent Peter a text message before going to bed.
[Harry has a 'genetic disease', which seems to be terminally ill, but he just said that the potion that can cure his cause is in Spider-Man, he wanted me to contact you but... but we had a big fight. ]
A few seconds later, there were five or six vibrations in a row, and several letters from Peter "Click Ceng Ceng" all popped out.
[new letter:]
[Genetic disease?Harry is sick?Why didn't he tell me? ]
[How did he know we knew each other?Oh yes... I carried you past him before. ]
[You had a fight?Don't be angry, I will go to him tomorrow, don't worry. ]
Looking at the frequency and number of words sent in this message, coupled with Peter's voice in her brain, Ruth could almost immediately confirm that Peter was wandering outside wearing a Spider-Man tights at this moment, and maybe he had just been beaten a few times at this moment. a gangster?
Ruth laughed, and the boredom disappeared.Sure enough, it was Peter who reassured her the most.
"Buzz!" The phone vibrated again.
[new letter:]
[Peter: Forget it, I'm going to find him now! ]
Not long after Tessa left with the letter in her mouth, when Peter's last letter arrived, a burst of blue light lit up outside Ruth's bedroom, and then that burst of blue light broke into the interior of the building.
The speed of the blue light was very fast, and it walked in front of Ruth in an instant, and was close to the tip of her nose. The sudden approach scared Ruth back several steps, stepped on the bed sheet under the corner of the bed, and almost fell backwards .
"Ah!" She screamed, closing her eyes tightly to face the pain of falling, only to feel the tightness of her left hand in the next second, and a force pulled her to prevent her from falling.
"You regained your magic!" Blu-ray turned out to be Pritchett!
He held the letter in his left hand, held Ruth's left hand in his right hand, and looked at her with eyes full of surprise.
"Who is so and so, who is there!" Tony's voice came from outside the door. After a loud noise, the door of Ruth's bedroom was kicked open. Tony, who was not wearing armor, only had a robotic glove on his left hand, and pointed his palm at Pu. Lichette.
He is also wearing pajamas with watercolor cat faces.
The author has something to say: emmm, maybe the weather is cold, maybe the author is out of breath, maybe the little fairies have abandoned the author, anyway, you don’t leave any comments, and you don’t love me anymore.
Okay, then I'll just bear with it.
——From an author who was left out by the little fairies, in a cold dormitory, physically and mentally cold.
"Buzz-buzz!"
Just as the quill was inserted into the ink bottle, the sudden vibration of the phone made Ruth's hands tremble. The quill, which she was not holding hard, fell into the ink bottle, and the invisible ink was splashed onto the paper and pajama cuffs.
"Hmm..." Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly, and while taking out the quill, she pressed the ON button with her little finger, and with her left hand holding the parchment, she squeezed the wand against the cuff and the paper, "Clean it up."
Stains that only Ruth could see were cleaned up.
