The guest rooms were all on the second floor, and only the owner lived on the third floor. It was obvious who was coming down.
Xia Yibing looked up inadvertently.
Heavy long skirt, black face and white courage as always.
But it seems a little different...
It seemed as if there were two mysterious black gauze jumping and moving under the skirt.
Those are slender ankles...
Through the black gauze, you can vaguely see the outline of the heel...
Xia Yibing couldn't help but widen her eyes as she watched the girl go downstairs.
"..."
Hitzfeld's whole body felt numb from being stared at by such a passionate gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry and embarrassed.
"It's just a change of socks, why is it like this - ah!"
Halfway through her speech, she let out a short scream. She was so busy looking at the other person's expression and organizing her words that her right foot suddenly stepped a little further.
With this extra section, only the small part of her heel was in contact with the step. This contact surface was obviously not enough to bear her whole body weight, so she naturally lowered her body due to inertia and gravity, and was about to fall on her buttocks on the step.
Xia Yibing rushed forward immediately.
She reacted quickly and was confident that she could grab the girl.
But the reason why accidents are accidents is that people can't imagine what will happen next.
As he rushed forward, Xia Yibing clearly saw Hitzfeld's feet raised, his lips parted, and his right eye wide open in a look of fear.
The two slippers flew off, and the hem of the thick, conservative long skirt was lifted up at the same time, just revealing all the scenery under the girl's skirt.
At that moment, Xia Yibing's mind went blank.
She forgot that she was rushing forward to catch Hitzfeld.
Forget who you are, where you are, and what you are doing.
The only thing left in my sight — and even in my mind — was that mysterious scenery.
Keep your body's forward momentum and keep moving forward.
Until it completely collides with the end of the scenery.
"puff!"
My nose seemed to hit something soft, followed by a sharp pain in the bridge of my nose.
The pain quickly woke Xia Yibing up. She immediately hugged the body in front of her with both hands to stabilize her center of gravity, thus avoiding the tragic end of being knocked down the stairs.
fine……
I felt relieved.
It's not a big deal if she is knocked down. After all, she has been exercising since she was a child and has a strong frame, so this kind of impact is nothing.
I’m afraid something might happen to Hitzfeld.
Her physical condition is not much better than that of a small animal. Although it has improved a lot recently... Xia Yibing definitely does not want to make such a dangerous attempt.
"Are you okay?" she asked tentatively.
Then she immediately realized that the voice sounded muffled, and that something was not right with the position of her head that was buried deep inside her head...
What is this...
Thanks to her quick thinking, Xia Yibing instantly went over everything that had just happened in her mind.
Including slow motion footage of the girl falling over.
Including the soles of her feet, which were raised up and wrapped in stockings, which she had never seen before.
Also includes……
Well……
Xia Yibing swallowed her saliva.
And the place where her whole face was...sticking...
Chapter 8: Separation
Mapes-Dallent felt that the atmosphere of this breakfast was a little strange.
In his opinion, the two people who had a very good relationship suddenly seemed to be in a cold war and stopped talking to each other. Everyone was just busy eating, and the temperature in the living room dropped by at least three degrees compared to last night.
Look at Ashley.
The strong girl ate with big mouthfuls, and her look was full of carefreeness.
Look at the guest who came from afar, Miss Norm.
She kept looking at Hitzfeld with an uneasy look on her face. But even so, she did not forget to chew the bread and fried eggs in big mouthfuls. This kind of behavior should not be described as carefree, but rather heartless.
So am I the only one who noticed something was wrong with these two people and cared about them?
Darent raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to say something to liven up the atmosphere.
"So Hitzfeld has decided to help?" He looked at the gray-haired girl.
"Yeah." Hitzfeld cut off a piece of fried egg with a calm expression, "After considering many aspects, I think it would be a good idea to go to Green Town."
Jerry Norm, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, immediately showed an excited look, but she didn't dare to shout out. She immediately covered her mouth and peeked over here from time to time.
"So Agent Xia Sha is also planning to go back to Wayne today?" Darent turned to the other side again, "I seemed to hear you say last night that your colleagues would join this operation. I wonder if he has already..."
"Ethan Doyle will arrive in this city before 17:15 at the latest." Xia Yibing glanced at him coldly, "I have already informed him in our way that he does not need to rest. You can leave for the Southern Station at : in the afternoon and buy tickets for four people first. You can board the train directly after picking him up."
"Maps, are you leaving?" Ashley looked up and glared at Darent. "Heath is leaving, and you're leaving too. Doesn't that mean no one wants me anymore?"
"Someone will come to look after you, Ashley," Hitzfeld said. "Maps is unreliable, and it was a wrong choice to ask him to take care of you. This time I plan to find Mrs. Morrison, the most famous woman on this street. She has worked as a preschool teacher for many wealthy families, so I think it won't be a problem for her to take care of your daily life and study."
"But I don't know Mrs. Morrison!" Ashley blinked.
"It doesn't matter. You didn't know me or Maps at first."
"But I don't want those strangers getting too close to me!"
"You have to get close to them." Hitzfeld rejected all her objections. "You can't be willful about this matter. I will give Mrs. Morrison a study target. I want to see your results when I come back."
Ashley was completely depressed, but she was rarely willful anymore.
Although she was not sensible, she was more perceptive than other children. Although Hitzfeld's unhappiness was not written on his face, she could still sense it. Compared with the two, she didn't want to make him angry.
"Let me clean it up."
After they had almost finished eating, Xia Yibing stood up to pack up her things and said she was going to wash the dishes.
Darent couldn't help but glance at Hitzfeld.
Ever since he started working as a customer at Flo Street, washing dishes has always been his job.
This was also the arrangement of the hostess - she said that "more water on wood won't do any harm".
Darent had always felt that although this statement was correct, it was very disrespectful. He had tried to resist many times but failed. He did not expect that this convention would be broken today.
He was liberated, but he didn't seem happy.
In the end what happened?
Watching Xia Yibing putting on an apron and walking towards the kitchen, and Hitzfeld going upstairs without saying a word, Agent Darent was puzzled.
You can't say he was slow to react, it's really hard to explain.
Even if he...
I didn't even notice that Hitzfeld had changed into a pair of black socks.
What am I doing?
Returning to the room and locking himself in, Hitzfeld pulled his hair hard again.
Am I having a tantrum?
This kind of little girl's behavior... I have always despised this kind of behavior...
Xia did something wrong, but it wasn't her initiative. To put it bluntly, the whole thing was just an accident, and we broke up soon...
She kept organizing her words in her mind, but as she organized, she found that she seemed to be simply defending the other party.
What about the loss I suffered?
she asked herself.
Although she didn't mean it.
Although it was just an accident.
But she was touched in that place!
The girl clenched her fists tightly, her nerves were tense, and her whole body was trembling slightly because of excessive shame.
In theory she shouldn't care.
This was definitely not the reaction she had imagined for herself.
But she found that she just couldn't control herself.
So what is she struggling with?
She doesn't understand.
I can’t figure it out either.
……
This tense atmosphere lasted until 13:30 .
Xia Yibing carried the suitcase to the door to change her shoes.
She is ready to leave.
At this time, Darrent was packing his things upstairs; Ashley was in the room having her first conversation with Mrs. Morrison; Jerry was embarrassed to stay here all the time, so she said she would go to the station in advance to buy tickets for them.
If Hitzfeld didn't come downstairs, there would be no one to see her off.
I guess this is my own fault.
Looking at the empty staircase, Xia Yibing laughed at herself.
But that kind of scenery...
That touch...
She licked her lips.
Really hope to come again.
"Are you leaving without saying hello to your master?"
A voice came from behind.
"Hitzfeld?"
Suddenly turning around, Xia Yibing was surprised to see the girl coming down the stairs.
"Um, I'm sorry about what happened this morning..." Then she immediately remembered what to say at this moment, "I didn't expect it... But it was indeed my mistake... I shouldn't have..."
"it's not your fault."
Hitzfeld interrupted her forcefully.
At the same time, she felt completely relieved.
Since it was an accident, the responsibility should be attributed to the accident itself.
"…I'm glad you think so."
The woman opened her mouth.
Having said that, she was still not sure if the girl was really no longer angry.
So you still have to be very careful.
