Queen Revenge

The mysterious guest was playing piano music again, and I was sitting in the courtyard with Pheobe Wilson, my head propped up on my hands looking up, the window open so that from my angle I could see half of the man’s side.

The light of the setting sun shone obliquely over and hit his body, as if it was gilded with a layer of faint golden edges, to be feathered away.

Gu Xuan walked in from outside and stopped at the sound of the piano, “This tune, I seem to have heard it somewhere before.”

Pheobe Wilson was surprised: “You’ve heard it before? Where have you heard it before? He composed it himself, how could you have heard it.”

He composed it himself?

Pheobe Wilson knew it so well, it seemed not to be an ordinary acquaintance.

Gu Xuan pondered for half a second and slapped his head, “I remember, once I followed my brother to attend the Richter family … Ouch, Sister Pheobe, why are you hitting me.”

Gu Xuan did not finish his sentence, Pheobe Wilson popped Gu Xuan on the head, “Why did you hit you? What have you been doing all day today, it’s such a busy day and you’re being lazy, do you want to dock your paycheck again, go help in the back kitchen or you won’t be able to eat dinner.”

Pheobe Wilson was fierce, Gu Xuan was like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, muttering, “I’ll just go and help, such a fierce bitch, which man would dare to want oh.”

“What did you say.”

Pheobe Wilson swept over with a look, Gu Xuan hurriedly ran, “Pheobe sister no one wants me to.”

“Bastard, next next month’s paycheck will be deducted.” Pheobe Wilson had a good and funny look on her face as she too found an excuse to go to the back kitchen.

I sat in the yard quietly listening to the man upstairs playing tunes, one after another, trapping me in memories of the past.

It’s New Year’s Eve again, I wonder if SWEETHEART will miss me?

I wonder how Jane Hasis and Alva Hill are doing, how Martin Mo’s health is doing, and how Fiona Croix and Jack Astor are doing.

Is he … okay.

The piano suddenly came to a screeching halt.

I snapped out of my funk.

Pheobe Wilson came out of the back kitchen with the dishes, “Alva, get ready for dinner.”

“Okay, I’ll go to my room and be down in a minute.”

I had wrapped New Year’s red envelopes for the guys to give to them later at dinner.

I went upstairs and entered, and just as I closed the door, I heard the door next door seem to open, and the mysterious guest came out.

I didn’t think much of it at the time, I pulled open the drawer and took the red packet I had prepared, and took my medicine before going downstairs.

All the employees of Pheobe Wilson’s store were at the New Year’s Eve party, and there were seven of them, including me.

Pheobe Wilson had prepared eight tables and eight sets of dishes.

One set of chopsticks was prepared for that person.

When the picks were all served, everyone sat down together and waited for the man to arrive.

Gu Xuan urged, “Sister Pheobe, go upstairs and see what that mysterious friend of yours is up to, and don’t come down to eat yet, we’re all hungry.”

“All you know is hunger all day long, why didn’t I see you so active when you were working.” Pheobe Wilson spat, “Sit down and behave yourself, this is New Year’s Eve, don’t give me any nonsense.”

Pheobe Wilson went upstairs to call someone, everyone waited for the man to arrive, but after waiting for a few minutes, only Pheobe Wilson came down, she said, “He is a bit uncomfortable, so he won’t eat with us, let us eat first, by the way, there will be a party in the town later, it’s very lively, everyone ate and went to be lively. ”

Gu Xuan skimmed his mouth, “What kind of person, such a big stand, so many people waiting for him alone, but still not coming down to eat.”

Pheobe Wilson glared at him again, this time Gu Xuan was honest.

Pheobe Wilson prepared red packets for everyone as well, before eating, she got up and cleared her throat, saying, “It’s another New Year’s arrival, today is my third year in the town, thanks for taking care of you all, every day with you all, I’ve had a really happy life, I also hope that all of you are happy as well, here’s the red packet that I’ve packed for all of you, it’s not a lot of money, it’s for good luck, hope that all of us will be happy in the coming year. good luck, I hope all of us will be better in the coming year.”

Pheobe Wilson handed out the red envelopes in her hand one by one, even I had one, she said, “Alva, a new year, everything will be better, I hope we can spend it together every year.”

Her New Year’s wish was for my good health.

I smiled lightly and said, “Good, every year is a new year, I also prepared red packets for everyone, like Pheobe said, for good luck, thank you all for taking care of me during this time, I really appreciate it.”

“Sister Alva, you are also too polite.” Gu Xuan receives the red packet the fastest, a few other employees receive it, and a few of us raise our glasses to drink one together.

Today happy, I let Pheobe Wilson also pour wine, at first she is not let me drink, my body, one day after the day, who knows if I can still wake up tomorrow, also not afraid to drink this wine.

I’m not afraid to drink a little wine.

Later, Pheobe Wilson accompanied me to drink, this New Year’s Eve dinner ate a full two hours, the night sky, some people set off fireworks, gorgeous fireworks bloom, fleeting, as this person, a snap of the fingers, but it is dozens of years.

Wine over three rounds.

The town was buzzing.

Pheobe Wilson let us all go to lively, I am also happy today, so I followed along and went out to stroll around, watching others release river lanterns, release Kongming lanterns, fireworks.

Everyone was looking forward to a better year ahead and making New Year’s wishes.

“Alva, there’s a three life stones in front of us, I heard it’s very spiritual, come on, let’s go over and take a look too.” Pheobe Wilson pulled me over.

Beside the Three Lives Stone, there were quite a few couples gathered.

There were quite a few red threads wrapped around the Three Lives Stone, men and women each stood at one end and randomly picked a red thread, if two people could pick the same one, then it was destined to be a marriage.

Quite a few people were playing this game.

Gu Xuan egged Pheobe Wilson on, “Sister Pheobe, let’s go play too, try it.”

“Who’s going to try it with you, it’s for couples to play, it’s not like I’m with you, so cool it on the side.”

Gu Xuan was stubborn, sincere eyes staring at Pheobe Wilson: “Sister Pheobe, give me a chance, if we pick the same line today, it’s destined by heaven, you can’t escape, if we’re not destined to be together, I, Gu Xuan, would have left the town in the morning, and I won’t bother you anymore.”

Gu Xuan was gambling.

Pheobe Wilson was mortared and didn’t move, she should be very conflicted inside at the moment.

“Sister Pheobe, do you dare.” Gu Xuan was provoking Pheobe Wilson.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Many people around her were listening to Gu Xuan’s words, and they were all clamoring for Pheobe Wilson to give it a try, it was rare for Gu Xuan to be sincere.

Pheobe Wilson looked at me, this kind of thing, I can’t make the decision for her, and didn’t respond to her.

Pheobe Wilson hesitated for a few seconds and agreed, “Okay, there are so many red lines, I don’t believe I can pick the same one, if not, you have to leave tomorrow.”

Pheobe Wilson was trying to break Gu Xuan’s mind, she didn’t want to hold Gu Xuan up any longer.

With tens of thousands of red lines, for two people to be selected at the same time, it was a one in a billion chance.

Pheobe Wilson and Gu Xuan stood at the two ends of the Three Lives Stone, and Gu Xuan was confident: “Sister Pheobe, I’m going to marry you, wait to be my wife.”

Pheobe Wilson’s face turned red with shame, there were quite a few people watching around here.

“Don’t be too pleased with yourself too soon, choose.” Pheobe Wilson chose one randomly, she didn’t believe in them and didn’t care about them.

Gu Xuan stretched out his hand, considering between the red lines, hesitating, before finally choosing one, the two of them slowly closed the line, the people watching were more nervous than the two of them as if they were all staring intently.

The people watching were more nervous than the two of them, all staring intently. The two of them closed the line little by little, perhaps it was destined by heaven, the two of them really chose the same line.

Gu Xuan was ecstatic: “Sister Pheobe, it seems that we are really destined, you are destined to be my wife.”

Pheobe Wilson, on the other hand, froze for a moment and threw the red rope away, “This is just a game, it doesn’t count, no more.”

Pheobe Wilson ran away in exasperation.

She couldn’t afford to have a marriage destined by heaven.

“Sister Pheobe.”

Gu Xuan chased after her.

I stood by the Three Lives Stone.

The boss asked me, “Little girl, do you want to try it too?”

Who would I try with?

I glanced across the street, there were couples here who came to try for a marriage, and there were also strange men and women who were strangers and came to look forward to a marriage granted by heaven, which was also considered a kind of matchmaking, and this kind of marriage by fate was also very popular among the young people.

I looked at a pile of red thread, ghostly God chose a, wrapped in the palm of the hand, slowly tighten, suddenly, the rope taut, the rope at the end of someone and I chose the same one.

I looked up and saw the person who was holding the same red line with me and froze.

It was Walker Richter who was holding the same red line as me.

At that moment, the world seemed to stand still.

The people around me became the background, and Walker Richter and I stared at each other, creating a feeling of a glance that would last a thousand years.

He came after me after all.

I looked at him in silence, and with a sore nose, I forced back the tears and threw away the rope: “It’s all a lie, it doesn’t count.”

Where is there any such thing as a destined marriage.

I’m a dying man, do I want Walker Richter to die with me?

I ran away, only to hear someone behind me say, “What’s going on today, why are both of them running away.”

“Alva,” Walker Richter squeezed through the crowd and caught up with me at the river.

I shook him off, my heart trembling with fear, and I yelled at him to cover my emotions.

“Who told you to follow me, Walker Richter, I told you I don’t like you, why don’t you understand.”

“Alva, I don’t care how many days, or minutes, or seconds you have left, I, Walker Richter, will be there for you, stop running away.” Walker Richter leaned closer to me and softly said, “Every second we spend together now is a gift from above.”

He turned out to already know.

He was the mysterious guest who lived next door to me.

He was also the one who had been playing the piano for me.

“Pheobe told you didn’t he.” I was already sobbing, “I knew it, she told you, why are you so stupid, why are you still chasing after me.”

“It’s only natural to come after your own daughter-in-law.” Walker Richter smiled and held me in his arms, “Alva, stop pushing me away.”

Leaning against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and feeling his body heat, all my strength collapsed in an instant.

Turns out, I wasn’t as strong as I thought I was.

He hugged me tightly, and at that moment, the night sky was constantly beautiful with fireworks blooming.

He said, “Alva, Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year.” I hugged him tightly after all.
