Chapter 1404
one thousand four hundred and four
Mr. Guan sat on the sofa, listening with a smile to the chatter of the women beside him, and nodded from time to time - as if he listened carefully to everything. In fact, their chat ups and downs, like the wind, wiped past their ears, leaving no trace.
In fact, he was very impatient with this kind of Tea Party of sitting and chatting, not to mention that he endured her divine chatter in the house of Elizabeth, the divine mother-in-law; But I can't help it. Who called Jessica?
Even with the navigation and help of the character manual, he can't stand Jessica's appearance now. He can stare at her with love and admiration for two minutes, but no more. He has to look at others - such as Pinker - to take a breath for himself. When Jessica and Li'er went to the bathroom together, he felt like he had taken all the burden off.
"Do something that means a lot to Jessica and makes her really happy."
This is Mr. Guan's goal of the game, which also means that he will always be around Jessica.
Fortunately, although Jessica's appearance is not easy to get into the play, her personality is quite easy-going and talkative; When Mr. Guan chatted with her without words, she was always very patient. If you don't look at your face, it's really like spring breeze to associate with her.
"You're back," he said as soon as Jessica's thick shadow appeared in the living room. He quickly moved the pillow away, made room for Jessica and Li Er, and asked, "do you want something to drink? I'll pour it for you." Elizabeth set up a small table in the corner of the living room with a lot of drinks.
"What would you like to drink?" Jessica immediately turned to Li Er and asked.
Li Er's lips curled, and he still had the attitude that no one else was worthy of talking to her - from the beginning of the game, Mr. Guan had no good feelings for this girl; If he had to choose between her and Jessica to have a secret love, he would still love Jessica. He just didn't understand how Jessica became friends with Li Er because she was so gentle and kind? Still inseparable? Moreover, the better outsiders treat Jessica, the worse Li'er's attitude is. Obviously, they are jealous of Jessica.
"No," answered Li Er impolitely, "she doesn't even want to use tea, and the juice has to be mixed with water... She doesn't even have a biscuit. After drinking a bellyful of water, she has to run to the toilet all the time. I don't want it."
Jessica smiled with an apologetic smile, "I'm not thirsty, thank you."
Then he won't go, and he's too lazy to drink Elizabeth's juice mixed with water.
In other words, the game goal of Elizabeth is like a black fly on a white wall, which can be clearly seen at a glance. Since everyone sat down, she was trying to tell the story of her past dealings with ghosts, all of which involved her own spiritual abilities; If she didn't make it up, Mr. Guan would be willing to cut off his head and give it to her.
Unfortunately, for her attempt, everyone dealt with it politely, and not many people even stood up to see the doll. It's not that they deliberately want to embarrass Elizabeth. What they don't believe is that they don't believe. Even if they pretend to believe, it won't help Elizabeth's goal, will it?
However, Yan Huang, who was not very stable in spirit, hurried Elizabeth into the kitchen as soon as he came out of the corridor, and closed the door. He didn't know what to talk about. The reason why Mr. Guan can notice Yan Huang, who is not within his radar range at all, is that Jessica was just watching her enter the kitchen.
"You say, did she hear?" After the door closed, Jessica asked Li Er in a low voice.
Mr. Guan immediately leaned over his head. He didn't want to miss any word Jessica said.
"Hear it when you hear it," Li Er moved to the other end of the sofa and leaned on the armrest, as if he didn't want Jessica to get too close. "Her husband didn't say less. She may have known it long ago."
Jessica didn't seem to realize that her good friend actually didn't like her at all, so she leaned close to Li Er again and drew closer. "I hope we didn't make her sad and angry... When she came out, her face was very ugly."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Guan hurriedly asked, "is there anything I can do for you?"
Li Er rolled his eyes quietly, probably thinking that no one had seen it.
"No, when we were talking outside the bathroom just now, we didn't know that the person inside was Xiao Huang. As a result, she might have heard." Jessica was a little embarrassed and explained, "I'm not talking about her behind her back. We're just worried about her."
"You are so good-natured, of course you will worry." Mr. Guan said with relief. For him, Xiao Huang and her mental problems are as far away as the dust on another planet. If Jessica hadn't spoken, he wouldn't think of Xiao Huang until the end of the game. "She will definitely understand you. Don't worry."
"Thank you," Jessica sighed. "I hope she gets better."
The host didn't know what to do. Her story, tea and reception were too simple to keep people. Soon, some people couldn't sit still and got up to leave. Of course, Jessica has no reason to stay. After discussing with Li Er, she decides to leave - Mr. Guan is a little anxious.
"What is significant to Jessica and makes her happy", in addition to helping her achieve her game goals, is there a better choice? However, roles cannot communicate their goals with each other; He thought he could take advantage of the tea party to ask for clues and try to guess Jessica's game goals. Before they got into the theme, they decided to go back to the small world that only two female college students could enter.
Isn't he going to be locked out of the door again?
"By the way," when he was anxious, he suddenly remembered Li Er's words. "Didn't you just say that you want to eat some snacks? Next, go to my place and have a try of the cake and cookies I baked? I promise you good tea and drinks."
The two girls looked at each other. "Mr. Guan," Jessica said with a smile, "can you bake cakes?"
This is an opportunity for him to increase his favor in front of Jessica. He smiled and replied, "I often bring my own baked snacks to some students in the school who live too far away from home to catch up with breakfast. Now you don't come to eat during the holiday, and I'm afraid I'll have handmade when school starts. Come on, just do me a favor."
The good thing is that Jessica really agreed; The disadvantage is that Li Er naturally has to follow.
When everyone stood up to say goodbye to Elizabeth, Mr. Guan glanced at the sofa cushion Jessica had just sat on. The cotton cloth was sitting wrinkled, pressing out a semicircular shallow pit, leaving the shape of her hips. Even without touching, he knew that the shallow hole on the sofa cushion must still have Jessica's warm temperature.
When the three of them went out, Elizabeth and Xiao Huang had gone back to the kitchen - the latter was the only one who didn't leave. Jessica walked at the end, just about to close the door, suddenly "ah".
"Sorry, wait for me," she smiled at the two people outside the door and said, "I seem to have dropped my hairpin."
Without waiting for the two to respond, she turned around and entered the room and closed the door. Mr. Guan and Li'er looked at each other for a few seconds, and they both felt that it was annoying to see each other. Instead of standing here foolishly, he might as well follow in and help Jessica find the hairpin, so that he can have a little time alone.
After all, it's someone else's house. I'm a guest. I always turn the door on and off badly. Mr. Guan gently screwed the door handle, trying not to make any noise; Through the crack of the open door, his eyes fell into the living room before his feet.
Elizabeth and her husband were still in the kitchen; Jessica is kneeling on the floor of the living room.
She buried her face deeply on the sofa cushion where Li Er once sat, and took a hard breath.
