Overturned Tower

"Hey, our busy man is here!"

Russell and Delphinium had just entered the hall when they heard enthusiastic voices coming from beside them.

It sounds sweet and warm, reminiscent of malt liquor. It's just that compared to Malt Liquor's more mature and charming soft voice, this voice is sharper, crisper and more immature... To put it metaphorically, it's like that of an anchor who "sounds very girly and overly enthusiastic" Business voice is average.

Judging from the stranger's first reaction, it must be that the voice sounds a bit weird.

Russell knew, however, that her voice did. When she was in school, she was told by the teacher to "speak well" and laughed at by her classmates because of this... But from another perspective, many boys thought her voice was very nice.

"Renee?"

Russell looked back in the direction of the sound and saw a red-haired girl: "Why are you down here?"

She has long mixed-colored hair of white, pink, red, and a little black, and her ear feathers are also a gradient color from white to red.

Although she is half a head taller than Russell, her skinny figure and childlike face make her look like a student who has not yet graduated.

"I'm right up there."

Renee said casually, swinging her yellow sunglasses smoothly with her fingers like a key ring. But her eyes did not look at Russell, but stared at the Delphinium intently.

There was a kind of enthusiasm in her eyes: "Is this... your girlfriend, Russell? So beautiful!"

"I already have a code name now, you can call me Ultramarine."

Russell corrected her first, and then introduced her: "It's better to say she is my fiancée than my girlfriend. Her name is Delphinium."

"Pigment? Then we are somewhat similar. My name is 'Cinnabar' now."

Renee looked at the delphinium, a little confused: "Why is the code name of the canine animal called 'sparrow'?"

"Isn't it uneducated?" Russell countered on Delphinium's behalf, "Delphinium is the name of a flower.

"That's right... why is it called cinnabar? Isn't it just because you are a flamingo?"

"I think this is quite a good reason. Of course, the top priority is to be able to remember the codename. If you give a nickname that others can't remember, doesn't it mean that you haven't remembered it."

Renee crossed her arms and said unceremoniously: "I was going to just call them flamingos. But I took a look and saw that there were a little more people outside Sogo Island calling flamingos... so I took it. A code name that is a little less popular, yet makes people think of it as my code name at first glance.

"On the other hand, you - you can easily be confused with someone with blue hair, right? 'Who is the ultramarine?' I think your colleagues should all have this question."

Chensha said with a smile.

She was still looking at Delphinium, and even wanted to shake hands with her enthusiastically.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Russell waved it away unceremoniously: "Don't take advantage of my wife."

Chensha shouted dissatisfied: "Oh, it's okay..."

"...She should be...probably a girl, right?"

Delphinium asked uncertainly.

Judging from their voices and looks, they all seemed to be girls, and they were quite beautiful.

Compared with the overly simple and almost solid-color clothing of the people around him, this high school classmate of Russell was wearing long red stockings that were extremely conspicuous. Starting from the deep red near purple at the ankle, it gradually changes to bright red, light red, pink, and white, and the top end merges with the fair to almost transparent skin.

Coupled with her white vest and shorts, plus the shawl with a circle of white fluff draped outside, and white pointed-toe cowboy boots, this is an extremely bold, chaotic and coordinated look. It's just too fashionable.

Even if it is placed on Happy Island, it can still attract the attention of passers-by - not because of how beautiful it is, but because of the ultimate soil.

But there is a saying that goes well: when it comes to extremes, it becomes fashionable. This weird but eye-catching outfit, coupled with her good looks and extremely confident attitude, would make passers-by think it was some kind of fashion.

It's just that her chest is really too flat... and with the exception of Russell, who looks almost exactly like Alice after dressing up a little, Delphinium is not sure of her own judgment now.

"Indeed," Russell curled his lips, "But she also likes girls. Don't let her fool you."

"...oh~"

Delphinium suddenly realized.

Although she seemed to be being watched, she felt even more relieved.

——It’s okay, it’s embarrassing.

It's better to say this...

Because the conversation between Chensha and Russell was so casual and natural, full of a sense of familiarity between friends. Although Russell brought her here just to let Delphinium see a more comprehensive version of herself and witness the trajectory of her previous life. But when she really met Russell's former acquaintances, she still felt a slight sense of loneliness.

It's like seeing a Samoyed humming on the side when his owner squats down to pet the puppy on the roadside.

She also wanted to interrupt, but she really had nothing in common with the other person, and she was so polite that she felt distant from others. When she is with a stranger, she will never take the initiative to talk to him unless necessary. Then once the topic didn't fall on her, she could only watch in silence.

"You kid... don't talk nonsense when you get up here. I brought my girlfriend here."

Cinsha stretched out a slender finger and warned Russell.

"Girlfriend? Is it still that one?"

Russell raised his eyebrows: "That black-haired, petite kitten?"

"of course not."

Chensha crossed her arms and said, "Are you talking about Li'er? Then your version is a bit behind... I have changed three of them."

"You are such a scumbag." Russell said in disgust.

"This time is different, I swear!"

Chensha was full of confidence: "This time I will definitely get to the end...I feel that this time she is my destined partner!"

"You say that every time."

"So every time is better than the last. Every time I feel like 'it's her', and the next time I fall in love I feel 'better than my ex', so I can always have love. To be honest, I always feel that I In fact, I'm quite lucky... As far as I know, after a breakup, it's more unlucky to never find someone better than your ex."

"That's called specialization."

Russell complained: "Why do you always speak so lightly? After you and Jacqueline broke up, do you know how long she came to me and cried?"

"I've told you so many times," Chensha waved her hands impatiently, tilted her head and said, "You were deceived by her. She wanted to use me as a springboard to get close to you in the first place. Didn't I give you a stone hammer all the time? Really? I found out that her motives were impure, so I kicked her immediately - isn't this enough for a brother?"

"It's not that easy to lie to me."

Russell followed Chensha's example, folding his arms and tilting his head: "At least from what I saw, she must have really fallen in love with you."

"That's not okay. I hate people lying to me the most, especially this kind of relationship - his grandmother, a straight woman pretends to be awkward and gets close to the target's female brother and has an acquaintance relationship. How can a relationship be so complicated? Why doesn’t she take the postgraduate entrance examination?”

Hearing this, Delphinium became energetic.

She reached out and gently pulled Chensha's shawl, and said seriously: "Tell me more."

"okay!"

Hearing Delphinium's words, Chensha suddenly became energetic.

When she was about to roll up her sleeves and elaborate, Russell interrupted: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get up.

"Standing at the door and blowing the cold wind, you are not cold but I am still cold."

"Oh, too!"

Chensha nodded happily, ran to the middle behind Russell and Delphinium, stretched out his hands to hold their necks, and pushed them to the elevator. At the same time, he was still shouting to Russell: "I'm telling you, Russell Su. All the brothers are here today... It’s been four or five years, and we haven’t had such a day together!

"Daben was still talking just now. It's rare that everyone is here today, but you are the only one missing. Then as soon as he finished speaking, I received your message here! You said this was a coincidence!"

"Why did you suddenly choose today to have a class reunion?"

Russell was a little curious: "Today is not a special day...except that the day after tomorrow is my birthday. You are not celebrating my birthday, are you?"

Hearing this, Chensha suddenly stopped.

She looked at Russell in confusion before reacting: "Oh, right, you don't know about this... no one told you last year."

This time last year was when Alice was most seriously ill.

Russell did not participate in any activities... He was so anxious that he was almost depressed.

"What's up?"

"Tomorrow last year...or rather, tonight. Lycaon died. He must have been killed."

Chensha whispered: "Today is his death anniversary."

When Russell heard this, his eyes widened slightly.
