stay together, down

If a relationship is mostly painful, is it a kind of luck to start forgetting?

There is an old tree in the courtyard. Cole said it was a ginkgo, and its leaves were delicate and pleasing like a small fan.Lin An picked up a few fallen leaves to make a bookmark, which has a faint fragrance.

They have lived here for several months, and it has already entered autumn. The leaves of the ginkgo trees have become withered and yellow, and the trees are full of round ginkgo fruits.Cole removed the inner and outer shells of the fruit and handed it to Lin An and Rebecca to cook ginkgo porridge.

The lawn on both sides of the path is the new grass that she and Cole moved and spread by themselves at the beginning of moving in. They grow very well in summer and are full of greenery.Lin An sometimes felt that he was the same as these plants, growing peacefully and dormant quietly in autumn and winter.She is satisfied with her life now.

As for the person in his memory, Lin An never even remembered him when he didn't come to bother him. --"disturb"?Lin An chuckled, is his presence a disturbance to her now?

Cole walked over holding the phone, "Although I also think he deserved it, but believe me little cat, if you don't answer the phone, he will fly over to scare you."

His voice rang in his ears, "Cole said you are doing well." Maybe there are too many things separating them, but the distance is the most insignificant.

Cole said you're doing fine.Lin An couldn't help laughing at his words, and accused him cautiously with a little anger.She still knows him so well.

It was the first phone call between them in months.Cole's self-assertive mind control did not make Lin An forget him.

—“Let go of those feelings that make you sad, Lynn, and love yourself.” —that was what Cole told her.

Lin An has been in this world for three years.When everything she knew was turned upside down in an instant, no one told her how to face it.She walked cautiously and fearfully, no one had ever taught her how to avoid harm, and in the end she was covered in bruises.Only Cole looked into her eyes and told her, "Lin An, you should love yourself."

She remembered all the things she and Klaus experienced, but the relationship that was mostly painful ended up as a calm lake, and when she occasionally read it, there was no ripple.

That's fine.

"Klaus, I hope you are doing well too." Lin An heard himself say this.

**********

On a leisurely and warm afternoon, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old oriental girl walked around the streets on the New Orleans side.A girl strolling idly doesn't stand out in this gorgeous and bustling city.The girl bounced and walked through one tree-lined street after another, and finally stopped at the next corner.

In front of her is a mansion that looks empty and grand, giving people a rather ancient feeling, accompanied by darkness and depression.The whole street is quiet, and there are no pedestrians or tourists passing by, as if detached from this noisy city.

The girl puffed her bun face and seriously considered whether to go in directly.She hasn't faced the ancestor directly yet, so she doesn't know if she can.

The girl thought deeply, but she was the first to notice the man who suddenly turned around and walked towards her at the intersection.

He was a very young man with a clean and friendly face.Seeing a little girl "curiously" standing alone at the door of Michelson's mansion, she hesitated for a moment and walked over.If possible, he would never approach this place rashly, especially in this sensitive period.

The man stopped beside the girl and said gently, "Little sister, this is not a place to play. Where is your family?"

The fine sunlight shone down, and the girl stood facing her, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, looking narrow and cute.

Red blinked, looked at the man in front of her, and said, "I am alone. I have no family."

The man frowned imperceptibly, thinking in his heart that he should be a little girl who ran away from home in a fit of anger.He glanced at the crowd waiting for him at the intersection.

"This is not a fun place, you leave here and go home quickly."

After a quick word of persuasion, the man turned and walked back.Walked a few steps, stopped, turned back. "You can't follow me." Looking at the little girl following behind, the man said in embarrassment.

"Didn't you tell me to leave?" the girl asked innocently.

The man can't, he needs to bring back what Marcel wants on time.Send this little girl back later.

It seems to be an old abandoned warehouse, which looks dire and dilapidated from the outside.

Hong stood with others in the open space outside the warehouse, and the man leading the way was talking softly to Marcel standing in front of them.In the last battle with the werewolves, the vampires led by Marcel suffered heavy losses and were even driven out of the French territory.To get back on his feet, he first needs to recruit new players.

"Whether you are qualified or not is up to me, Joshua." Although this is already the No. standard.

Like a ruler inspecting his soldiers, Marcel walked past the crowd one by one, and then stopped in front of Hong.The astonishment in his eyes flashed past, and then he called Joshua calmly, "You forgot my principle - don't move children."

"I didn't bring this one, but she came here by herself," Joshua said.

Marcel asked no more.

Hong was interested, this was the first person she met after she came out of another world and saw Lin An's similar face without making a fuss.He stood quietly and listened to Marcel's ingenious "newcomer interview".

What Marcel wants is a warrior, a truly tough person who will fight for his faith and family, not a killing tool created by simple transformation.He gives them hope, shows them the power of a vampire, and then wipes their memories.Only those who follow the true yearning in their hearts can remember the way back here again, and are qualified to stand with Marcel.

But such an inspiring "speech" could not calm down a certain girl. Hong raised her right hand high, like a student waiting for the teacher to speak by name in an elementary school class.Marcel took one look at her, choosing to ignore her funny childish behavior.

"Maybe you yearn for power; maybe you yearn to be a warrior with something worth fighting for; maybe one of you even wants to live forever...you can have it all! Because being a vampire is what it is..."

The girl was not discouraged and impatient, she hopped on tiptoe and raised her hand to signal.She seemed to love the game, giggling and jumping around with her hands held high.The crowd was attracted by her.

"You! Girl!—" Marcel pointed at her at last.

The girl stopped and said with a serious face, "I have a question—are you Klaus's vampires? I'm here to find him, can you invite him?"

When she first arrived in New Orleans, Hong seriously considered two partners for alliance, Esther and Francesca.It's not impossible to go directly to Klaus, but he certainly won't tell her where Lin An is going.An enemy's enemy is a friend, and it's more fun that way.

Unexpectedly, she first met Marcel, who is also an enemy and friend. The girl nodded silently, it's okay, although the strength is slightly weaker, but with her, the average strength is far superior to others.

Marcel and Joshua were silent for a second, then hurriedly ended the "interview".

The girl bounced into the house after Marcel and Joshua.Joshua, who was closely following Marcel, was still repeating, "I really didn't know she knew Klaus, I just saw her a little girl standing in front of the Michelson mansion to persuade her to leave. And how could she know Klaus?" Klaus?! She just looks like..."

Marcel interrupted Joshua, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine, "Don't you think she looks like a person? Appearance." Yes, it's just that the appearance is similar, but the personality and behavior are almost completely opposite.

Hong had already sat down on the sofa at one side, and was looking at Joshua with a smile.Although he is a vampire, Joshua, who is pure and kind, was embarrassed by the girl's unwavering gaze and smiled back.

"You want to see Klaus? How about we start with, who are you?" Marcel said.

"Nothing new," said the girl.Stretching out a hand, he stretched out his palm in front of Marcel with a mysterious expression, and then calmly clenched his fist under the eyes of the two opposite people.

At the same time, the wine glass in Marcel's hand burst with a "pop!", and the whole thing burst open, splashing water everywhere.

Marcel and Joshua froze in place.

"Are you a witch?!" Marcel asked.

The girl raised her eyebrows, and the next moment, the wine bottles and glasses placed on the table behind Marcel exploded in a series of shattering sounds.

"Okay, I see, you are a witch." Marcel said helplessly, holding his forehead.

The girl was happy, and leaned back on the sofa behind her, shaking her head like a lion cub proudly showing off.

"Now can you tell me why you are looking for Klaus? Or, how did you know Klaus?"

Before the words fell, a arrogant male voice came from behind:

"I heard someone said they were looking for me? Do you want me to have the honor to know, is it a friend or an enemy?"
