[Comprehensive British and American] The predecessors are missing one

My wild guess is obviously very reasonable.I can't find any other more likely factors, can I?

Afterwards, I didn't tell Yili about it, not wanting to cause her panic.Diana told me that when I was shot and fell in front of Yili, Yili's whole body collapsed and her abilities were completely out of control.I wish I could make it so that Eli doesn't experience this feeling again.

The sense of familiarity between us came back very naturally, as if we had never been apart.At least, that's what I think.When I asked Ellie to go to the ball game that weekend and called her, I was actually a little nervous.

"Hey."

"Hey, Barry.What's wrong? 』

"Uh...I want to say, I bought two tickets, the Nets Knicks, at Madison Gardens. If you promise, I can take you there this weekend."

God, what am I talking about?I "may" take you there?If I were a girl, I'd all like to reject myself.

Yili's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"OK. ’ she said, with a smile, ‘Is this a date? 』

"Oh. Hmm." I felt embarrassed, it seems that Ellie's habit of teasing me was developed at this time—no, maybe earlier, "Yes, it is. So are you coming or not?"

The ball game was played very well, and the intermission performance was a female singer from Disney. I and Yili loved her songs very much when we were in middle school.I hardly paid attention to the score. In the first half, Yili felt anxious because the team she supported was slightly behind. I fed two strings of marshmallows before she calmed down a little.

"I can't believe you remember my favorite team," Ellie said at halftime.It was very noisy in the arena, and we had to lean against each other and get very close to hear each other clearly.

I glanced at her.Of course I remember, "Because you're the only one I know who likes the Nets." No wonder, that's because I was forced to watch a lot of Nets-vs. other teams games in the first two months.

The spectators in the back kept booing loudly with cheering props. It seemed that they were very dissatisfied with the progress of the game.

Eli looked skeptical. "No way. My team is so good!"

I smiled.Just then the camera was aimed at us, and our faces appeared on the big screen above the center of the court.

"Huh?" Yili was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.

Her smile is just too cute.I couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

Yili covered her face reflexively, her eyes widened, but she was completely harmless.The audience next to us also found us on camera, and they started booing after witnessing this move.

"Barry!" Ellie called out my name, covering her face with her hands, her ears flushed.I smiled and hugged her so she could lean on my shoulder to avoid the camera.But this seems to have aroused the photographer's interest instead, and even the narrator noticed us and joked: "Why only kiss on the cheek?"So shy, this college couple. 』

"Why does he know we're just college students?!" Yili asked in surprise, burying her face in the crook of my neck.

"Yeah, why only kiss on the cheek?" I deliberately asked Yili.I thought her focus was too strange.

Eli responded with an elbow.It didn't hurt much, but I'm sure everyone in the world saw it...and they were laughing!Please, this is not funny!

I would meet Ellie after class, go to Imperial College, we would have dinner, play under the bridge, practice magic on the beach, and finally, send her home.We're all on the frugal side and usually go to the cheap a la carte restaurants.Everything went well, and I saw them again—Eli's friends from Imperial University, Peter, Hermione, Raven, Osborn.I am so happy to be friends with Peter again.

The strange thing is, who is that weird figure in the red tights who is always beside or near Yili, wandering around in the dark...?

After observing for a week, I finally couldn't bear to ask Yi Li.They looked like they knew each other, several times I wanted to rush up and grab each other and ask why they followed Yili.

"Red tights? Oh, that's Wade," Elly said.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at her uncertainly, "Wade? Wade Winston Wilson? Deadpool? That mercenary?"

Ellie nodded and drank her strawberry milk. "Yeah, he's supposed to be...protecting me or something. I hired him for something."

I frowned.using force.

"What happened?"

To be honest, I felt my pride was hurt.But now self-esteem is not the point. The point is that Yili is in trouble, but she chooses to tell a passerby who came out of nowhere, a notorious mercenary on the road.I was there for her, but she didn't think I could protect her.She also needs another bodyguard.

Even if I'm not really around her 24/24—I mean, does Ellie really need some man, [-]/[-] close protection?Please, she herself is the sea god.She is the daughter of Gaia and Poseidon, she is a Greek goddess.

Eli turned her head away, avoiding my gaze.

We're eating at a restaurant, sitting at the bar.I turned and faced her head-on, not giving her a chance, and pretended to stare at her apple pie, as if interested in the burnt part of the crust.

"It's a complicated thing to say..." Ellie began to play with the straw.Look left and right, but don't look at me.

I frowned and looked at her with some hurt.She still doesn't want to tell me.Is it because we broke up?I'm an ex-boyfriend?

"...Okay." I took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the grievances, dissatisfaction, doubts and pains in my heart, "If you don't want to say..."

"It's not like that." Yili quickly interrupted me, looked up at me with a complicated expression, "I just... oh. Let me think about what I should say."

I stare at Eli.Her expression looks like she's saying, "Oh my God, how do I explain that?".As a child, I used to wish I could read minds so I could see what everyone was thinking of me.At this moment, I'm not sure if I still want to have this ability.I probably wouldn't want to know what Ellie really thinks.

Ellie finally stops playing with straws.She turned around, also facing me, and took a deep breath.

I waited for her to tell me her secret.

"Okay. It's like this." Yili said, lowering her voice, and quickly scanned around us to make sure that no one was secretly watching us. "I'm cursed."

"what?"

Eli pursed her lips and repeated, "I'm cursed," she said, lifting the sleeve of her left arm to reveal the rose tattoo on her head.

etc. "Isn't this a tattoo?"

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, held her wrist, and looked at the rose totem in puzzlement. "It looks lifelike..."

"Because it's real." Yili emphasized, without pulling her hand back, and let me observe her curse mark.

So, it's cursed.Eli is cursed.She was being targeted by someone and could be attacked at any moment.

This realization made me flustered. "Who did this to you?" I looked up, looking directly at Eli.

Yili blinked her eyes and parted her lips. "Don't worry, Gaia has already dealt with the idiot who cursed me."

I wasn't comforted at all. "But this curse... what will it do?"

Yili pursed her lips tightly, looking embarrassed. "Oh, that's the point of it," she said, looking away briefly. "I hope you don't get me wrong...let's put it this way. Do you know why I was at the party that day?"

I frowned uncertainly, and shook my head, "You appeared at the banquet, and you were cursed, what is the relationship between these two things?"

"Because I'm going to find you," Ellie said, gasping, speaking super fast, "I was going to find Clark to be precise. This curse must be broken with a kiss of true love, Zeus told me, I My true love is among my three ex-boyfriends."

good.This is beyond my expectations.

I wish I didn't have to look at Ellie with that alien look, although judging by her reaction, that's exactly what I was putting on.

"Wait. What? True Love Kiss? Seriously?"

"Yes, the kiss of true love. You heard it right." Yili emphasized, rolling her eyes, "And, now I can't kiss anyone other than my true love candidate, something terrible will happen."

I feel like I need to spend more time digesting this message.And I noticed another thing.

"You've already experimented, haven't you?" I pulled away a suspicious smile, and prayed in my heart that Yili's answer would not be the same as I guessed.

Eli looked away.

"That's why I don't want to talk about it," she whined under her breath, glancing at me. "When we first found out about the curse, I kissed Peter, just on the cheek, and then I passed out. Yes, I did experiments. Also Yes, I admit, I tried everything possible to get close to Clark in order to break the curse."

I frowned and stared at Yi Li, having no idea what was going on.

it's wired.Was this supposed to happen?

I didn't hear future Ellie mention that she was cursed...nor did anyone else.This shouldn't be... something that can't be told to me, so no one told me, can I think that this thing shouldn't have happened?

Eli looked at me worriedly. "I should have told you sooner," she said ruefully, with guilt and resignation in her tone, "but I don't want you to think that I agreed to date you because I wanted to break the curse. Although part of it is true, but……"

"It's okay. I understand." I tried to smile as hard as I could, trying to assuage Ellie's guilt.

"No! This is not good at all." Yili hugged her head in pain and sighed, "Yes, a part of me is to break the curse, and I want to try to see if you are my true love. But I don't want to hurt you .”

I narrowed my eyes again alertly, and my heart began to sound the alarm.

"What's the meaning?"

The author has something to say: These days, there is a big return of goods, and all the autumn and winter products are returned, and I don’t want any of them.At the same time, I was buying and transferring, and I was the only one who went to work, and the new colleague next door was really really annoying. Before I got off work yesterday, I was so angry that I was shaking (really shaking), she said more than He doesn't do anything for his job, which is worse than the messy part-time worker before.It is simply the MAX version =_=.

So when I got home, I really didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to rest.I was really almost crying... It's been a long time since no one can make me so angry.I can't remember the last time I was this angry.It seems that at the end of last year, an Asian customer yelled at me in Chinese in public, and later complained to her white husband in English (damn it, I can’t understand English?_?), and completely distorted the facts.

I hate people who distort the truth so much!!! This is the case this time too!!!!

In short, after sleeping for a long time, I finally managed to write a manuscript today... I was in a really bad mood yesterday|||, I was very tired and busy after two days of work, my waist was a little strained when I moved the goods, and I even touched To such a bad thing.

Then the mermaid will finish around the end of the month.Then I'm going to go back and update the number one, Clark's story, right next door.Everyone can go there~~Let’s revisit the plot first and catch up with the progress LOL, just in time to connect with my update~~
