Nine hours and twenty-seven minutes after Betty issued her declaration of never seeing each other again.
Harry Wright and Benika Tina reunite again.
"Youyou are" Betty stood in the light and couldn't see clearly Harry's appearance in the darkness. She hesitated to determine Harry's identity.
"Just like what happens in the movie, after the heroine declares that she will never meet again, if nothing goes wrong, she will definitely meet the person she said this to again. ButI I didn't expect it to be so soon." Harry bowed to Betty and said with a smile.
With Harry Wright¡¯s eyesight being able to see through everything as long as there is a faint light, of course he recognized Tina immediately. Harry is in a good mood now. He feels like a shipwrecked ship in the ocean meets land, or a person who is short of water in the desert finds an oasis, so he can't help but joke.
"It's really Harry." Betty stepped forward to greet him and shouted in surprise.
"Youwhy are you wandering alone in a place like this? Is itcould it be"
"I will explain the reason in a moment." Seeing the stars flashing in Betty's eyes again, Harry hurriedly interrupted her next speculation and said.
"Is it convenient for me to stay tonight? Do you want to explain it to your family?" Harry said.
"Hehe This is originally a small restaurant and hotel, but only old customers will patronize it. Because this is the back door, you didn't notice it. Don't worry, my family will welcome you." Betty smiled said.
"Then I won't be polite." Harry said.
Opening the door, Betty, who walked in first, shouted to the two people who were sitting at a large, simple log dining table having dinner: "Aunt Lianna, Cousin Dis, let me introduce to you a person I just came from. Friends you meet on the street.¡±
The two people raised their heads in surprise and looked at Harry who was following Betty.
The door of the restaurant that serves as a restaurant is not large, with more than a dozen rectangular dining tables neatly arranged in two rows. A long and narrow brown sandalwood counter separates the activity space of the owner and customers according to the best proportion.
On the owner's side, the layout is completely home-style. Judging from the placement of furniture, it is no different from the dining room in ordinary people's homes. Behind the dining table where the owner dines, there is a staircase leading to the second floor. The charcoal fire in the fireplace placed under the stairs is still burning. Looking at the orange-red flames, Harry, who had been rescued from the cold autumn wind, felt like he was in heaven.
Taking a few steps forward, Harry bowed deeply to the two of them and said hello: "Hello you two, I'm sorry to disturb you all during the meal. I am a friend Betty and I just met today. My name is Harry Wright."
"Ah, you you are the young man that Betty has been praising as soon as she came back today. Haha I thought it was another movie plot she was imagining, but I didn't expect that there really is such a plot. Handsome young man. You are welcome to be our guest. I am Liana Tia Nida. Please sit down." A woman with a gentle and round face stood up and smiled at Harry.
In middle age, she has begun to show signs of aging. From the charm that still remains on her face, it can be seen that she was undoubtedly a very charming woman when she was young. Although she is not tall, she is still well-maintained. Her hair is tied back in a bun and she has a hearty smile on her face.
Sitting next to her was a boy with light blond curly hair like Betty. The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his body had just begun to develop. He has a delicate face and lively and cunning eyes. The gray-brown eyes looking at Harry are full of surprise. Suddenly the boy covered his face with a napkin and started crying. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Dis, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Betty asked hurriedly after seeing the boy's behavior.
"Soso touching."
"Cousin Betty, since you watched the modern version of 'The Prince in Trouble' six years ago and developed the habit of rescuing strangers on the street. After being disappointed sixty-four times, deceived thirty-one times, and dumped twenty-nine times, Seven times later, now you have finally come to the end of your hardships and caught a real Prince Charming.¡±
"Cousin Betty's infatuation must have moved the merciful God. He was too lazy to arrange other miracles for you, so he sent you a handsome priest directly. I am so excited. Woo hoo I "Dis wiped the non-existent tears in the corners of his eyes with a napkin, with a mischievous smile on his face.
Before the boy could finish his words, a pot of boiled beans in salt water landed on his face.
"Iwe are just ordinary friends who just met today. And, I??It's not like Dis said. "Betty blushed and defended hurriedly.
"Haha don't listen to my son's nonsense. Betty, like me, really wants to help others. There are often some stowaways from other countries who cross the sea and come to this city to work illegally. If they can't find a job quickly, Life will be difficult. Occasionally there will be some people wandering here. When we see them, we will help as appropriate. Because our ancestors also came here illegally. Although they have obtained legal status now, they still help people in adversity. It's our family tradition. Betty and I often take in and help some poor elderly people." Aunt Lianna said with a smile.
"Cousin Betty might hope they are magic witches" the boy who picked up the fallen beans back into the basin one by one interrupted. This time, he received a hard and familiar slap from his mother on the back of his head.
"II'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed." Dis rolled his eyes, made a face at Betty, and rubbed the back of his head. After saluting Harry, the boy ran upstairs along an oak staircase behind him.
"This kid is really rude. He is not usually like this." Liana said apologetically.
"Don't mind, I think he is a good boy." Harry smiled as he sat down with Betty.
"He is a troublesome child." Betty said, but her face was full of love for the boy.
"By the way, I wonder if you have used the supper. Do you want to have something to eat with us?" Aunt Lianna asked what Harry wanted to hear most.
"If it's convenient, yes. In fact, I haven't even had dinner yet." Harry said with a wry smile.
"No way?" the other two people asked in surprise. Harry's clothing and temperament did not look like someone who would be short of food and clothing, so it was natural that the two of them would be surprised.
"Thisit's a long story"
Harry began to explain what happened
"Hehehahahahahahaha"
Betty was lying on the table, laughing so hard that she couldn¡¯t straighten up. Aunt Lianna could not help laughing several times. And Harry's sensitive ears could pick up the muffled laughter of Dis rolling around upstairs.
¡°I¡¯ll steam another plate of sausages for you.¡± Lianna stood up with a smile and walked into the kitchen at the back.
"Hahaha It turns out you really don't have the money to buy another ticket. Fortunately, I still worship you as a hero in the movie. Hahaha But I really want to meet some of your friends, especially that one Ouyang Yang." Betty smiled.
"I didn't think you would be a student at Ultra Academy. With your performance and demeanor, I thought you were already in your thirties. Who knew you were only four years older than me."
"My friends all say that I am young and mature." Harry smiled helplessly. Almost everyone who meets Harry ages him, and Harry is used to this kind of thing.
"So, are you here for the colorful egg that you will bid at the secret treasure auction seven days later?" Betty asked.
"That's right, that's something very important to our community." Harry replied. In fact, he didn't know what the importance of that thing was.
"Hehe How are you going to survive these seven days if you are penniless?" Betty asked.
Harry was speechless. He drew his pistol and placed it on the table.
"Could it beare you going to rob a bank?" Betty screamed.
"Stillorare you going to rob this place? Youdon't mess around." She asked tremblingly. Betty created a victim scenario for herself in her mind.
"Hahaare you going to paw it?" Liana walked over from behind Harry holding the sausage.
"That's right, I only have a few days to deal with this kid." Harry gently stroked the gun on the table and said apologetically.
¡°There¡¯s no need, just stay here for the next few days.¡± Betty said sheepishly when she found that her old habit of making random guesses had relapsed.
"How is this possible?" Harry said.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, our upstairs is the hotel. There is no guest now and there are many empty rooms. If you really feel embarrassed, you can wait until the check is received before paying." Liana smiled.
Harry thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
"Then, I will disturb you all in the past few days." Harry said.
"I don't knowuncle?" Harry asked because he had never seen Lianna's husband.
"Hahaexcept for Dis, there is no male master in our family. I?For singles, having children around is enough. Lianna covered her mouth and smiled.
"Auntie is really a strong person." Harry concealed his surprise and complimented.
"Oh hehehe What a talkative young man. Auntie, if I met a handsome man like you when I was young, I might have married him." Liana patted Harry on the shoulder, like a young girl. He said with a hearty smile.
"Betty, in a moment, you will take the guests to rest." Liana said to Betty.
"No problem." Betty responded.
"I must fall asleep before twelve o'clock at night. I have to let Betty greet you. I'm resting." Lianna winked at Betty and said.
Knowing that Aunt Liana was creating opportunities for them to be alone, Betty couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
