"Are you sure?
Don't stay for dinner?
”Robben looked at Hoden with strange eyes, with a hint of doubt, a hint of confusion, a hint of rejection and other intricate emotions, and a little disgust.Hoden didn't mind, shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just being polite, there's no need to look at me with a 'I might try to poison you' expression." ”was complained about by Hoden like this, but Robben didn't mind, and his cold expression seemed to say: It's good that you have self-knowledge.Despite being disgusted, Horden dragged his lazy body to his feet and personally escorted Robben to the door downstairs.Robben glanced at Hodden coldly, "There's no need to be so polite, I can find my way home." ”Hoden nodded approvingly, "I know.I made a special trip downstairs to buy snacks, you can go by yourself. ”After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Robben, and took a step on his own.Robben was left standing in place, and above his head it seemed that crows could be seen flying by en masse.Robben used all his strength to suppress his urge to pull out the ten-meter big knife, otherwise he might have blood splattered on the spot, and then turned around and took a step, exuding a cold aura that no one could enter, and walked away, disappearing into the remaining light on the edge of the sky.As for Howlen?
Hoden is serious, the snacks at home have bottomed out, whether it's doing homework or investigating a case, he needs to replenish his snack drawer.I have been in Iwabuchi for more than a month, and the biggest gain is that there are many strange ingredients here, which have opened the door to a whole new world for Hoden - the seaweed stewed small bone mushroom is a dish that he has developed himself.Since there is no way to go home for the time being, then you must learn to treat yourself well and really "take risks".Carrying a large bag of snacks, I was content to step on the noisy floor at the beginning of the lanterns, and my heart, which had been a little heavy because of the clues of the tailor shop and the examination room, was lightened again, and I thought about what I should eat tonight, and at the same time I thought that I could taste new snacks later.Babble.Pushing open the door on the first floor of the apartment, Hodden could see a small head poking out behind the door panel on the right side of the corridor, and he recognized the figure at a glance.The curvature of the corners of Holden's mouth rose slightly, and he took the initiative to walk over and knock on the door.A crack was carefully opened in the door panel, and Pete Lechman's pink little face appeared in front of him, and his eyes were slightly reserved."
What, I'm not welcome?"
Hodden said with a smile.Pete hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened the door of the room, but still stood awkwardly in the doorway, his head bowed, and did not speak.Something strange.Howlen pretended not to notice, walked straight inside, and called out, "Connor?
Zack?
Where are you?
”Connor and Zach are the other two children of the Lechman family, both boys, one five and the other three, just the most mischievous age.Usually the Lehrmans have to work, they don't necessarily have time to take care of the children, more often it is Pete and Jasmine who take turns to take care of them, sacrificing school time, but both children are very sensible, and they have never fallen behind in their studies, but they are at the top of their classes.Occasionally, when Pete and Jasmine couldn't take care of it, Hoden also helped take care of the two little ones.In addition, Nair often came over to help with extracurricular tutoring, mainly for Connor and Zach, learning some basic literacy and math, and later helping Pete with some school homework.The job later fell to Holden's shoulders.But in the past month, Horden has been too busy to take care of himself, and he doesn't know anything about the situation on the Norsnes continent, so the extracurricular tutoring has been delayed.The Lechmans did not ask the Helo brothers to help with tutoring and teaching, but only to make the Helo brothers feel guilty, so they proposed extracurricular tutoring.Holden forgot, and the Lechmans naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it.Now, though, Pete seems to be a little angry.Just now, when Hoden escorted Robben away, Pete quietly looked at them through the crack in the door, and stopped talking; And now the awkward and restrained appearance seems to deliberately keep a distance, with "I don't know you" written all over his body, but his eyes have never been able to maintain real coldness, and he quietly moves with Hoden's footsteps."
Hoden!
Hoden Hoden, Hoden, Hoden!
”Connor, who was a little older, stomped all the way over, and from afar, he spread his arms and rushed towards Hoden in the form of a swallow returning home.Hordon took the initiative to squat down and catch Connor steadily, but because Connor's forward momentum was very fierce, Hordon maintained a half-squatting posture and his center of gravity was a little unstable, so he stood up with Connor, and then you could see Zach's swaying pace.It looked like it was already crumbling, but his mouth was giggling, and the cheerful laughter made the corners of the mouths of others rise together.Hodden took the initiative to meet him again, holding Connor with his left hand, and then holding Zach up with his right hand, as if he were holding two lucky dolls.Bright and cheerful laughter spilled all over the narrow room, like a faint light in the darkness to guide the way forward.Hodden walked to the shabby couch next to him with the two little ones in his arms, and put Connor and Zach down one by one.Connor covered Howlen's cheek with his little red hand and squeezed it hard with both hands as if he was playing with dough, "Hoden, you haven't been here for a long time.I, Zach and I are learning the story of 'The Frog and Mom,' Pete ......
Pete doesn't want to read it to us, why don't you come?
”Out of Hoden's vision, Pete could see Pete still standing awkwardly in the doorway, and he showed a big smile and said to Connor, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
If Connor misses me in the future, he can take the initiative to knock upstairs and knock on the door, even if I am doing my homework, I promise to answer you, okay?
”"But......
But Mom said that you also need to study, so let's not bother you casually. ”Connor stumbled.Hodden winked at Connor, "I'm studying every day, and I want to be lazy once in a while, so Connor can give me a reason." ”Connor chuckled, his big watery eyes narrowing into a slit.Hodden opened the snacks he had just bought, rummaged through them, and took out a small bag - these are snacks that children can also eat, and then placed them on the coffee table, opened the pocket, "Connor, Zach, which one do you want to eat?"
Take your pick. ”"Yay!"
Zach just wanted to go straight to it.But Connor covered Zach's hands, his eyes flashing wide, and he asked Holden, "Is that really possible?"
”Even though he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he still asked seriously.Hoden smiled and nodded, "Really!
If mom and dad asked, I would tell them; However, dinner time is coming, so you can't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat dinner. ”()
