[Comprehensive British and American] 280 days of tragedy

The weather in New York is rare, the gloomy gray atmosphere has faded away, all the gloom in the sun has been swept away, and the golden light renders the sky extremely clear.

Ye An likes this kind of weather very much, and she also likes Times Square in New York, which is full of novelties.

Due to her unstable ability, she basically would not leave school unless necessary. As a result, it has been ten years since she came to the United States at the age of 9, and she has been to only a few places. Get lost in this busy city.Before Kurt came to the school, when she got lost, Professor Xavier would locate her, and then Mr. McCoy or Alex would drive her back to pick her up.

It is probably because of the shadow of her childhood that she could not understand the language and was always lost, Ye An sometimes had a natural fear of going out, always felt that she would get lost in this metropolis, and after a vicious cycle, she did not like to go out. up.

"Have you never been to New York Plaza?" Harry looked at Ye An and stared outside with good eyes, and even forgot to look back at him, which made Harry feel a little uncomfortable.

"Every time I come here, I have something to do." The vehicle stopped at this time, and Ye An stared at the huge banner advertisement outside with relish, while explaining, "Come here to help or something, like the previous apocalypse incident."

The apocalypse event refers to the resurrection of an original mutant who wanted to rule the world a few months ago due to the irrational activities of some religious elements in Greece.New York bears the brunt, almost completely destroyed.

"Every time I come here, Kurt or Pietro send me here, and I don't have time to go around after I'm done. Due to the rules of the "Mutant Contract", even if we come to help, we have to go through government approval, or sometimes Time is running out, we have to act first, and we have to go to the guards to make up for formalities when we turn back." Ye An said calmly, but suddenly there was a turning point, and the serious topic suddenly went straight down, "The most important thing is, we The school is a boarding school, and students are not allowed to go out to play without the consent of the professor."

"Didn't you try to skip class?" Harry just asked, when Ye An turned his head extremely fast, his eyes frightened, as if he saw something terrible, he couldn't help but lower his tone, "What's the matter?" ?”

"...We are facing the most gentle and terrifying principal in the world. As long as we have the idea of ​​skipping class, Professor Xavier will know immediately." It is simply the American version of the principal who appeared at the back door of the classroom in those years.

With a trace of curiosity, Harry couldn't help asking: "It seems you have tried."

"Yes... I tried it with Sean (Sonic) when I was a child. He can fly for a short time by making sound waves. I also had the ability to be invisible at that time."

"and then?"

"Then I ate sauerkraut for a month... Sauerkraut is a kind of pickled food in China, which is made by sprinkling Chinese cabbage with salt and marinating in a jar for a month." Recalling the darkness dominated by sauerkraut, Ye An looked back in dismay: "That's the scariest dish in the world."

"Sounds really scary." Harry chuckled.He didn't dislike the trivial matters of life that Ye An talked about. Judging from the habits she showed, I'm afraid she had been well taken care of all the time, so she had such an almost innocent personality and thoughts.

"That's not bad." Seeing Harry's interested expression, Ye An continued.

"When Professor Xavier first founded the mutant school, he received a lot of students at once. There were more mutants, and the professor lacked orthodox teaching experience. Instead of turning into the utopia he imagined, the whole school was turned into All kinds of unruly brats made a mess."

"The professor's character is not as friendly as it is now. The students who were in trouble for three days were either chased by Mr. McCoy, or set by Professor Xavier to dance four little swans at the school gate. Some mutants themselves survived The environment is different from ordinary people, they need to stay in the water or float all the time, and some mutants will take root after staying in one place for a long time, and there are always various situations that make the school a mess."

"When we first started, the school had to be renovated every one or two months because a student had an electrical leak, or another student blew up his room while he was having nightmares. There were countless cases like this, but it was still Well, this is a school for mutants, and it is much more convenient for mutants to rebuild a place than ordinary people."

While talking, Ye An subconsciously flipped the golden pendant on the phone.

The scarab refracted a ray of light in the sunlight, which happened to pass Harry's eyes, and his gaze unconsciously rested on the pendant on Ye An's fingertip.

Ye An also noticed it. She pinched the scarab and hid it in the shadow of the car, "Sorry, I'm used to playing with pendants sometimes, so I forgot to reflect."

Harry shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.Pretending to be casual, he asked the question that had troubled him for a long time: "This pendant is very special, is it a souvenir bought in Greece?"

He said it was troubled because this was not the first time he had seen this pendant.When they first met, he noticed the charm on Ye An's phone.

Four years ago in New York, a pharaoh's heart was stolen. At that time, the matter was aroused. A few days after the Museum of Natural History was closed, the pharaoh's heart reappeared miraculously, the heart studded with golden scarabs It was placed firmly in his chest cavity.A year later, the pharaoh was sent to a museum in London for exhibition. When the curator was sorting it out, he found that the heart was missing a scarab.

That's the point - that scarab is exactly the same size as the pendant on Ye An's phone.

That's why when Ye An appeared beside Harry that day, he thought that the other party had some purpose to approach him.

Of course he doesn't think so now.If Ye An's acting skills were not good enough, then this scarab was most likely given by someone else.

"This?" Ye An raised the phone, and the golden scarab swayed with her movements, "This is a gift from someone else."

Just as Harry had guessed, that pendant was indeed given by someone else, and she was able to carry it with her for so long without being discovered by anyone. The very straight face played its part, and no one suspected that she would be a thief.

"Anyone else?" Harry asked persuasively, "Is it someone important?"

Ye An pondered for a moment, this was originally given by Remy, but Ye An found out that it was stolen and returned it, and Akamanla gave it to her again.

Nodding seriously, "Yes, this is a gift from my ex-boyfriend."

Harry paused, and the corners of his mouth that had a slight smile on his face were instantly tightened, and unpleasant emotions suddenly spread from his heart. He looked at the slightly shaking scarab calmly.

As an antique, it is undoubtedly well maintained, and it is not difficult to guess from the shiny back that the owner of the pendant often touches it and puts it in the most conspicuous position.

"Ex-boyfriend." He repeated blankly, his icy blue eyes fixed on Ye An, and he wanted to try his best not to show any expression of concern.In a place like the United States, it is quite normal for a 19-year-old girl to have an ex-boyfriend. Even if she keeps his ex-boyfriend’s things well and brings things from him with her after breaking up, this is also Can't represent anything.

"Hmm..." Ye An replied hesitantly, and the nerves finally came to his senses. The man in front of him seemed to be angry, "But we broke up three years ago, and he is going to London...so...why are you angry? ?”

"Not angry." Harry quickly retorted, straightened up, and leaned on his original position reservedly.

This is obviously angry.

Without hesitation, Ye An moved over slowly, touched his arm lightly with his soft arm, tilted his head in front of Harry, "Because of this pendant? It's just a pendant."

Ex-boyfriend's.

Harry added in his heart that he was startled that his attitude was wrong and he should calm down a bit, so he slowed down and repeated, "I'm not angry."

"Oh." Ye An responded, and sat back in his seat without knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Harry turned his head slightly to the side, and saw Ye An leaning on the other side of the car window, looking down and playing with the chewing gum box that the driver put on the car.

Without the flat voice of the girl, the atmosphere in the car suddenly cooled down.

Harry leaned against the car window, looking at the girl reflected in the window, her fluffy ponytail was gently pressed against her fair neck like a cloud, and she was playing with the gum cap intently.

Asians have always been classified as yellow, but her skin is very white, almost transparent.When the sun shines on her skin, you can even see the light blue veins underneath her thin skin.

She moved slightly, and Harry immediately looked away.

After a while, he felt the scent of flowers approaching, Ye An finally dropped the damn gum box, leaned over and held out his hand to him.

"You kept looking at me just now, did you want to eat chewing gum?" Ye An asked calmly, and handed the box of chewing gum to him.

Harry stared at the chewing gum bottle, not knowing whether to refute what Ye An said to see her or throw the bottle out of the car first. Contradictory and strange emotions kept intertwining in his heart, which made him pay a little attention to these uncontrollable emotions The reason for the ups and downs.

Ye An felt completely fine.She interpreted all of Harry's abnormalities as pregnancy syndrome, and did everything she could to coax a man who had become pregnant out of nowhere.She just saw that this chewing gum is edible for pregnant women, and chewing gum can achieve a good decompression effect, and it can also relieve pregnant women's prenatal anxiety.

"You can try it, it's orange-flavored." Ye An stuffed the bottle into Harry's hand, then lowered his head and played with Devil's Notes.

Harry held the gum box, resisting the urge to throw it out the car window.

"Nothing's Gonnagemy Love" was played in the car at the right time. Ye An seemed to like this song very much, and she hummed softly to the rhythm of the song.

She even sang along when the song reached its climax.

"the worldmaygemywholelifethrough, but nothing'sgonnagemyloveforyou.

Harry paused suddenly, and moved his fingers lightly in the gum box, and the lid of the gum box popped off.

A headshot of a little bear was painted on the cover with a black ink pen. The big eyes looked very innocent, and two round palms opened a note, which said [sorry].It seems that when Ye An was playing with the gum cover silently just now, he was busy drawing pictures on the inside of the gum cover.

"Are you in a better mood?" Ye An poked Harry's arm, and his delicate and pretty face came closer, with an obvious smile in his eyes, "Would you like to listen to a story from school?"

Harry's answer was to stuff a piece of gum into Ye An's mouth, lowered his head oppressively and kissed her lips, and bit her hard a few times before letting her go.

The girl's light-colored lips turned slightly red from being bitten, she didn't realize what happened, and looked at Harry blankly.

His fingertips were still on the corner of Ye An's mouth, his voice was soft and slow, "This is the right apology, Ann."

Well, Ye An accepted his answer.She bit the gum in her mouth, leaned forward and left a kiss on Harry's lips, then sat upright, turned her head and asked very seriously: "Okay, then I will continue to tell you School story?"

Ye An planned to continue the topic at the beginning and bypass the pendant.

Harry's eyelashes trembled, and he looked at Ye An's hand from the corner of his eye. She had already put the mobile phone in her pocket, and soon remembered the question about the pendant before, "Your pendant."

"Do you know where it came from?"

The topic came back again, Ye An glanced at Harry cautiously, and considered his words, "Akamanla gave it to me, he said he hoped I could keep it safe, he said it was his most precious One of the treasures." Because this is part of Akamanla's heart, it is not a lie to say that it is the most precious treasure.

Harry froze.

Isn't Akamanla the unlucky pharaoh who lost his things twice?
