Chapter 59: Rose entangled in thorns

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Alex turned his head back, his dark blue eyes fixed on him.
"Nothing." Chi Hao hurriedly replied, did not look carefully at his neighbor's appearance at this time, raised his hand and rushed to the pool and rushed with cold water. "Just cut it, go back and pack it."
He said that he turned back and smiled at Alex and walked back to his room. He remembered that the mother had put a box of Yunnan Baiyao Band-Aid in his side pocket.
It was just a small injury and broke the flesh on the surface. After posting the band-aid, I continued to go back to the kitchen to cut the potatoes and fry potatoes. However, it was only a moment of work, Alex and his steaks were gone.
Is it already finished? It is unlikely that it will be so fast, it is more likely to go to his friends.
I didn't care too much, and continued to finish my dinner.
In the evening he was lying alone on the bed, and he was hearing a knock on the door while he was about to fall asleep.
Alex’s voice came from outside the door: "Jerry, Jerry, are you sleeping?"
Jerry is a late English name, which was started by his primary school English teacher. At that time, the English teacher just prepared some of the most common English names and randomly assigned them throughout the class. At that time, I was very glad that no one in their class would like to call Tom. However, the name of this kind of thing has its own certain stickiness. Many of his social accounts are also registered with this name. It is naturally not easy to change now.
"Well, I have already slept. Is there anything important?" Chi Hao took the phone and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock. "If you don't worry, can you say it tomorrow?" He has now washed off his clothes. It will be very troublesome to get up and change clothes.
"Oh, nothing." Alex muttered something outside the door, late and didn't hear it, nor did he put it in his heart.
He went to a big class and a discussion class today. After class, he went to the school gym and ran a step. He consumed more energy. He didn’t take long to sleep when he closed his eyes. He heard the 408 room on the right. The sound of opening the door and talking. It’s Emily’s room, so late, is she just coming back, or is she going out?
Thinking this way, Chi Yu gradually entered a dream.
The next day is Saturday. I have no class after class, but I have to go to the school library and a group of classmates to discuss the topic of the assignment report. When he went out, he happened to see Emily. She had a trash can in her hand and it seemed that she was preparing to go to the kitchen to dump the garbage.
I looked down slowly and saw that the big group above the trash can was stained with blood.
He looked up and saw the scar on the wrist of Emily holding the trash can. The dark and bruised bruises were particularly striking on the white arms.
"Is it hurt?" he asked.
"Nothing," Emily raised her head and smiled, rubbing her left hand with her right hand. "Just accidentally scratched, and there was more blood."
"That's a little careful, I also cut my hand yesterday. It's really bad luck." Chi Hao also smiled and said goodbye to each other, took the elevator downstairs alone, and gradually felt a trace of violation - the wound is not like scratching, more Like... bitten by something.
He was a little concerned, remembering the flash of black shadows seen in the roadside groves on the way from the school gym to the dormitory last night. That thing is like a big dog, very tall and strong. Is there a large dog near here? There are even more terrible conjectures. Jiang Tian said that he once heard wolves in the night. This place has a good ecological environment. Maybe there are really wolves? Maybe it will run down from those mountains?
He has also seen articles and reports on people on the Internet about people and animals in some ecologically sound towns, even with wild animals such as wolves and bears, but if they live around their living areas, they will attack people. The meat beast is still a bit scary.
However, the action of Emily's later covering the wound showed that she did not want others to see the injury, and the scratch may be just an excuse, or not to ask people's privacy is better.
Later, the team members discussed the five o'clock in the afternoon. He thought that today is Saturday and there are not many things just after the start of school. Those in the dormitory will definitely open a party on the fifth floor. When they are in the room, they will be arguing that they can’t do anything. They simply stay in the library. Wait until nine o'clock to pack up and go back.
His dormitory is built outside the school, and the distance between them is not close. There are school bus pick-ups on weekends, and at least 30 minutes on foot.
The summer night is very cool, the heat is dissipated, the fragrance of the vegetation is scattered in the air, and the right to walk is late.
"Jerry, Jerry!"
After hearing the shouts and footsteps, it took a moment to react and the other party was shouting. He turned his head and saw Alex coming towards him.
"Are you just coming out of school? Go back to the dormitory? Let's go back together."
I was a little surprised: "Why didn't you attend today's party?"
In his impressions, Alex and his friends are all downright "party animals", and it is strange to stay in school today so late.
"Because I found something more worthy of expectation and people can't control." Alex replied softly.
"Yes, I also agree that sometimes I can't stop if I learn by immersing myself. So there is a saying called 'Thinking for knowledge,' and curiosity and appetite are really two things that cannot be contained and cannot be concealed." Later, he said, "By the way, did you come to me last night?"
"It's not an important thing. I had a party with my friends last night. I still lack a ‘children’ and would like to ask if you would like to be with us.

"That's a pity, I hope I will have another chance to attend your party next time." He said with a grin, but his heart was thinking so late, even if he didn't plan to sleep, he wouldn't be with Alex and his friends. Go out to the carnival.
The two walked in the direction of the dormitory while talking. Black and white along the way, only the street lights emitted dim orange light, pulling the shadow of the roadside shrubs long and long. They copied a shortcut, and at this time they were walking in the middle of the two buildings. This road was not short, but it could only rely on the light from the roads on both sides of the road to illuminate it, which made it even darker.
"There will be another chance." Alex smiled unconsciously. "So it doesn't matter. I just met Emily yesterday and invited her to go."
"That's fine. But I saw Emily seem to be hurt today. Do you know this?"
Alex's blue eyes darkened: "Is it? She is really careless."
He was walking on the side of the wall, and he found that Alex was getting closer to himself. They are now just in the middle of the road, and Alex suddenly stopped and turned to face him.
"Jerry." He lowered his head and revealed a kind smile. "Can you do me a favor?"
I am not used to being so close to people, and I stepped back: "What?"
"I seem to be sick, some uncomfortable, I hope you can help me a little busy." His eyes faintly appear a strange red glow, staring intently at the late eyes.
"What disease? Acute gastroenteritis? I sent you to the school hospital?" Later, I also felt that my neighbor was really wrong.
Alex seemed to be a bit stunned for a moment, but the next second was alert and straightened up. Like the lion who is ready to eat, he found other leaders.
At the end of the road, they came in the direction of the street lights on the other side of the street and did not know when to stop a black car.
His eyesight is far better than the average person, and you can clearly see the extremely detailed things. The front window of the car was half open, and there was a gray-haired middle-aged man sitting on the chest with a dark gold pocket watch on his chest. Some patterns were engraved on the case of the pocket watch.
He narrowed his eyes and looked more closely - the uneven lines on the pocket watch were countless bushes and a rose that was tightly wrapped around it.
The rose entangled in thorns, that is the symbol of Prince Emory.
Alex's pupil tightened.
The rear window was tightly closed, and he couldn't see the inside. He could only see a black outline that was reflected on the window.
