Chapter 3: Lydia, Rimmer and Smith

On Wednesday, early morning, someone's bedroom at Smith Manor. ? 8? 1 Chinese ?? www.81zw.com?
Lydia stretched her body, and if she could, she really wanted to lie down on her bed forever to destroy the world. But she can't, Eve doesn't know what ancient etiquette is followed, and thinks that it is absolutely not allowed for guests to get up later than the host!
Lidia quibbled like this, "Eve, this is my home, I can sleep to any time I want!" She quibbled against a flying red butterfly in front of her.
"But I am, uh, 'guest'." Butterfly made Eve's voice. "And you are my descendant. The descendant should get up before the elders. You need to serve me."
"Maid can serve you!" Lidia continued to fight for her time in bed.
The red butterfly stopped inciting its wings, but hovered in the air against the common sense. "You mean, let those servants in the backyard serving your biological parents (Old Smiths) serve me?" The butterfly incited again Get up, "Lidia, you make me sad. If I were older, would you treat me like that, and transfer my servant away ..."
"Eve! I'm up!"
Lydia left the bed and sat in front of the dresser mirror without her image. She twitched the corner of her mouth, her finger on the mirror, closed her eyes, her chest slightly undulated, she seemed to meditate something, and the blurred image began to appear in the mirror, slowly and clearly.
"Lidia, you really don't have talent." The butterfly stopped on Lidia's shoulder. "It takes you so long to reflect magic best, and it will take so long. I don't have a moment to wonder. Why did I accept you to become Rimmer. "
"Because I have money." Lidia rubbed her lips and started dressing up. "A lot of money. When I traveled around the Federation, I didn't know where to use it. And Rimmer was poor, poor, and downcast "" Lidia raised her eyebrows. "Think of it now. I really don't like your original secret alliance."
The butterfly seemed to sigh.
Oh, it's just early morning, the two Ranmers chatting casually.
"Suddenly left without actually taking you." Lidia picked up a gray eyebrow pencil like something. I started to draw crow's feet at the corners of my eyes. That's right, this woman's makeup is not to make herself more beautiful, but to make herself older.
Look at the person in the mirror. It's simply Kepler, 25. Now she is drawing to Kepler in her thirties.
Lidia's makeup skills seem to be very skilled, which does not affect her dialogue with a butterfly, "I remember the first time I saw you, I actually pulled a yellow curtain on the street and performed magic ..."
"Lidia, don't let me recall that dark time.? August 1? Chinese? Text ◆ net. Www.81zw.com?" Butterfly's tone is very sentimental, "And that is not magic, it is magic, really real Positive magic. "
"I know." Lidia shrugged. "I do remember that I was bored at that time and I gave you some suggestions. If you want more people to see, you should go to the theater to perform."
"We couldn't believe it at that time." The butterfly fanned his wings. "A strange foreign woman, who even opened a show for us, said," You look very talented, why not? " Let's rent a theater to perform. '"
"Did I drive a lot at that time? Huge amount?" Lidia blinked at the mirror, and the thirty-something woman in the mirror did the same.
The butterfly fanned its wings again. "To us at the time, yes. We basically had no concept of money. All the supplies used to be provided by the secret alliance until the supply disappeared. We didn't realize that we had no money." The voice went down and seemed to be shy, " Rimmer is not as convenient as other clans, we still need human food ... "
"What is the price of eternal life." Lidia laughed. "Oh. Perhaps if you are not so attached to the survival of the soul. Becoming a real vampire will not be so sullen."
"Giving up the soul is equal to giving up the magic." The butterfly flew up, with a serious tone. "This is impossible. Our purpose in pursuing eternal life is because of magic. You see those werewolves in In'an, because they don't have their magic talent, oh, It ’s called the witchcraft talent, because it was abandoned by their leader (Papa ’s midnight) and became a werewolf. There is no way for the Indians to coexist with eternal life and soul, but I ’m not ready to give up. "
Lidia raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face, "Whatever you want, Eve."
"Lidia, thank you for your company."
The conversation suddenly became emotional, and Lidia smiled at the butterfly and just opened her mouth.
"Someone is coming to you." The butterfly finally flapped its wings once, and its red wings split and disappeared in the air.
The door of Lydia's bedroom was pushed open.
Smith walked in neatly and pursed his lips. The owner of Smith Manor still got up earlier than the guests.
"Lidia." Smith looked at her sister who was sitting in front of the dressing table in her pajamas, frowned, and turned around like a gentleman. "We need to talk."
Thirty-year-old Lidia rolled her eyes, "Lucius." Smith's name, between these two siblings, would naturally not be commensurate with the surname, "I now you are the same as before, do not knock The door comes in, and then pretend to be considerate of others and avoid the sight. Your hypocrisy hasn't changed at all. ?? Bayi Middle School ▼? 文 网 www.81zw.com? "
Smith sighed, "You can say whatever I say is hypocritical, but sister, we really need to talk."
Lidia also sighed, "Brother." These two names are really very targeted. Lidia's tone was a little helpless, "Can't you wait until breakfast, I just got up."
"No." Smith also had a helpless face, "We need to talk while your guests haven't gotten up yet, and parents have to join early today ..."
"Flander and Eve are not my guests, but my husband and stepdaughter." Lidia has interrupted her brother, "Accept this reality, Lucius."
Smith turned his back to his sister, with a bitter look, "I ... I." His face was tight, and he seemed unacceptable in any way, "This, how is this possible, that Eve, Eve ..."
"Flander." Lidia rolled her eyes again to make up.
"Fu, Flander ..." Smith looked like he had eaten ten lemons. He couldn't help it. He was full of the face of a man whose skin was like a bark and ugly enough to describe it. He could hardly imagine his own sister. Will marry such a man!
Smith decided to change his direction and took a deep breath with a serious tone. "Father, mother. You are forbidden to be in a room with Flanders. The attitude is already obvious. How do you deal with it?"
Lidia pursed her lips and picked up her pencil again, and now she was trying to put her 30-year-old woman into 29. I hope you understand what I am saying.
"They will accept it. They must accept it. This is the truth." Lidia said so.
"Lydia!" Smith turned around and walked to his sister with a serious face. He sat down next to him and stared at the side of his sister who hadn't seen him for many years. .
"Whether do you want to talk?" Lidia looked at her brother with disgust. "You know if you are my brother, if a man looks at me like this, Flander will come and beat him!"
Smith frowned. "He is violent? Are you actually married to a violent man ?!" Smith's thinking jumped at this time, caring about such 'small' things.
"No!" Lidia turned away in disbelief, looking at her brother's sincere and worried face, "He has no tendency to violence! That is the desire to protect! Remember, I like someone to protect me, defend me, stand by me Here! "Lidia's cheek twitched and turned her head back, her voice calmed down." Huh, this is the home. I have never given anything to me. "
Smith couldn't bear it, and his tone softened. "Lidia, you can't always hold these. The decision of the father and mother is not wrong."
"What about you?" Lidia put down her cosmetics and looked at Smith again. "Father and mother have their decision, what about you?" Lidia turned her body completely, "Brother, you know I am as capable as you. Can manage our family business well. "
Smith's eyes turned away and he couldn't seem to look directly at his sister's eyes.
Lidia continued, "I never asked a person to inherit the family business, I like to run our family with you, Lucius, why not? Tell me, brother, why not? I must deprive all of me Something makes me a idler? What's the point? When I squander your hard earned money outside Barton, do you think I am happy, or are you happy? Or are my father and mother very happy ... "
"Okay Lydia." Smith frowned, and didn't seem to want his sister to go on.
"Look." Lidia shook her head, her face disappointed. "You have no decision at all, you will only follow your parents' arrangements. When I need you to stand by my side, you do nothing." Lidia He turned back, looked at himself in the glasses, and continued to pick up the pencil.
The brief silence made the atmosphere worse, Lidia listened to Smith's breath with her head down, and pursed her lips. Unlike Lydia himself, his brother is really old.
Lidia seemed to be soft-hearted, and he said, "Yes, Lucius, where did our servant go? Why are the people in the middle and front court gone, only the old servants on the father and mother's side are still there. "
The topic was turned away, and Smith let out a breath, but raised his head with a smile on his face, "Oh, some little things happened a while ago, and all quit."
Lydia frowned, "Small things?" Although Eve was judged to be really not talented, Rimer was ultimately a non-human, a member of the thirteen vampire clan, so no matter how normal the look of Smith around him, She still heard an instant heartbeat.
Lidia tilted her lips and seemed to be too lazy to ask, "What about the original decoration? I remember there was a vase from Mrs. Quinn outside my room? Why is it missing?"
"Oh, it's because of that little thing that many of the extra decorations have been taken away." Smith kept a smile. "After all, there are fewer servants, and it's troublesome to clean up those things."
Lidia looked sideways at her brother, "'Little things', hum, if you say that, I won't ask."
Smith shook his head with a smile.
"See if you don't, this is support." It turned out that Lydia wanted to express a point of view. "I expect you to do this to me."
Smith's face wrinkled back, and the topic went back, "You mean ..."
"Yes!" Lydia turned her head, "I mean Flander's Eve, you have to support me." Lydia's tone increased, "Brother. From now on, we will be a family."
"Lidia ..." Smith softened his tone completely, he was trying to return it.
"Aunt Lidia ?!" Kepler appeared at the door of Lidia's room. The girl in pajamas rubbed her eyes hard. "Are you? Lidia ?!"
"Kepler!" Lydia pushed the obstructed Smith directly, "My favorite niece!"
Kepler ran in, rolled his eyes, and excited his face, yes, I know this expression is a bit complicated, but girls, there will always be such an amazing performance, "It is the only niece!" Kepler gave Lidia a big hug directly, "When did you come back?"
"Yesterday morning!" Lidia patted Kepler's back and made an angry look, "Where have you been? You didn't see you all day yesterday!"
"Uh ..." Kepler's body stiffened. "Hey, there is something to do with Lola, and I'll be back late ..."
Although Smith had no choice but to interrupt his conversation with Lidia, Smith had adjusted his expression and, with the majesty of his father and the momentum of his family, said to Kepler, "When you came back last night, let you After dressing up, you went directly to the room and went to bed. Do you know what you missed now? "
"Then you have to tell me ..." Kepler was arguing aloud, but now his father, Smith stared at himself in an obscure manner, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "Lydia is back, I will I won't miss it ... "When it comes to being coquettish with a little grievance in the end.
Smith was unimpressed. "And yesterday morning, I called Parker Elementary School to get you back, but you were not there."
"I ..." Kepler turned his attention to Lidia as soon as he opened his mouth, "Save me!" My favorite and only aunt Lidia! ’
Lidia could n’t help noticing that her niece ’s heartbeat flew up and looked at Smith with a smile,
Brother, have n’t you heard? It ’s with Lola, the things between the girls, but also to you Does this father explain? "
Smith's face was embarrassed for a moment, his eyes drifted away, and he nodded his head, "I won't disturb you for now."
Lidia raised her eyebrows at Kepler with a sigh of relief. "Quick, tell me what you have done in recent years." Pulling Kepler straight to the bed.
Lidia waved her hand briefly, impatiently, "It's just boring things that are still going to school in the West End." Immediately it turned into a smile again, "From high school to North End! Quickly, I want to know everything! Friends, lovers , All interesting things! "(To be continued.)
