Chapter 39 The Boys
Leisa, the housekeeper of Quinn Manor, was waiting for them downstairs.
When Atal was seated, Peter walked down the stairs slowly, a little afraid to look into Atar's eyes, not knowing what happened between Connor and him, which made Atal feel a little funny, and couldn't help but feel sad. The idea of teasing came up.
Peter sat on the chair with his head down and a sad face. There were plates, knives and forks in front of him, and he had just picked up the knives and forks.
Suddenly, Atar put his hands on the table and turned towards Peter: "Hey!"
Sure enough, Peter said "Ah!", shaking his hands in fright, and threw all the knives and forks on the table, making a crisp clacking sound when they collided with the plate.
Atal laughed out loud, and he reached out to pinch Peter's cheek, but was embarrassed to find that his arm couldn't reach the other side of the table.
Atal: "..."
So, he coughed, pushed away the chair and stood up, walked to Peter, squeezed Peter's face, and bullied him confidently: "What's going on? It's like I'm going to eat you?"
Peter let out a "huh", but he just stretched out his hand and struggled a few times symbolically, and then let Atar grab his little face listlessly, and even, in order for Atar to pull it more comfortably, Peter turned his head to the side. He leaned over there.
Atar's heart felt dark for a while. After all, as the youngest brother in the family, all the peers he met were a few years older than him except Damian. Wearing some baby fat that hasn't faded yet.
"What's the matter?" Atar was concerned about the mental health of this little friend, "You are shy because we saw you changing your pants?"
Peter: "..."
We can still be good friends without mentioning this!
"It's not because of this..." Peter said intermittently, feeling embarrassed, "Connor told me, you know..."
Atal didn't know what Connor had said to him, so he chose to stand still.
"...I'm sorry," Peter said wearily, raising his arms and covering the lower half of his face with his knuckles, "Before, I shouldn't have lied to you, suspected you, my purpose of being friends with you was not pure , I repent, and I will treat you sincerely in the future, sorry."
Peter said sorry twice, but didn't hear Attar's answer. He secretly turned his gaze to Atar, just in time to find that the other person's expression became indescribable.
... It's such a big deal, he can still tell if it's really insincere.
If Peter didn't care at all at first, then Atar would never be so stupid as to be friends with him, he would not even bother to say a word to him.
Atal let go of Peter's cheek, stroked his chin, and said to himself: Unexpectedly... Connor is so bad.
He was actually scaring Peter with something he'd known from the start.
"So, forgive me." Peter looked at Atar with all his attention, put his hands together and put them on his forehead, then closed his eyes and eyelashes and trembled, "Please!"
... Conscience began to ache.
"..." Atar opened his hand, "Let's eat first."
Then he sat back in his seat, and Peter opened his eyes cautiously: "You don't mind?"
The anger he imagined was different, Peter thought anxiously, shouldn't they quarrel, make up again, quarrel again, make up again, so that they can become friends.
Atal seemed to see what he was thinking, so he said, "I have decided to break up with you."
Peter's eyes widened, and then he was discouraged: "Sure enough..."
"Several friendship for three seconds, one, two, three, okay, let's get to know each other again, good friend." Attar said.
He propped his face to see Peter's shocked expression, and felt amused again: "What? Are you still not satisfied? Let's do it again?"
Peter quickly waved his hand: "...No, no, no, just don't mind."
He breathed a sigh of relief and almost slipped under the table. Peter stabilized his body and sat up straight quickly.
Atal began to eat, and the two of them could only occasionally hear the sound of the knife and fork hitting the plate. After a while, Atar put down the knife and fork, picked up the white handkerchief beside the plate, and pressed it on his lips a few times. Then gently put it back.
Leisa pulled out the chair behind him ahead of time, Atar stood up, and said to Peter who was still eating: "I've finished eating, you can come and play with us later, it's on the back lawn, let's eat together play badminton."
Peter paused the movements in his hands, raised his face and shook his head: "No, I'll just stay in the room."
Atar didn't force it either: "I know."
Leisa handed Atar a new warm towel, he wiped his hands perfunctorily on it, put it back, and immediately ran out briskly like a little squirrel, his figure quickly disappeared from Peter's sight.
Peter looked at his back in a daze for a while, then lowered his head and continued to eat.
Although the bottom of my heart was slightly relaxed, there was a sense of loss that could not be ignored. Why didn't he ask more questions?Is this even a friend?
……
The lawn behind Quinn Manor is mowed by special servants, so the lawn looks very beautiful.
There is a fountain in the center, and there are small sprinklers at the corners of the square, showing rainbow brilliance under the sunlight, moistening the green grass and looking full of vitality.
In Atar's sight, the three of them were not playing badminton at all, and their rackets were thrown aside randomly, overlapping, like toys abandoned by boys.
Stepping on the lawn, Roy pulled out the rubber hose from nowhere, and then sprayed Connor's head with water.
The latter also held Roy's head unceremoniously, and threw him into the fountain, with a harmonious appearance of exchanging feelings.
Jason didn't escape either, he was completely soaked, the red sports jacket was taken off and thrown aside, and the t-shirt was completely glued to him.
He was busy helping Roy pull the water pipe, with a relaxed smile on his lips, as if he was purely childishly happy that he had the upper hand in two-to-one.
Atal: "..."
A good pair of three people rolling on the lawn avi
The three of them probably didn't realize that Atar had come, and they didn't stop their movements, and they were still playing with each other childishly. Atar had the feeling that he had entered the high school boys' dormitory in a trance.
... Ah, youth.
Even Connor, who has always been steady and calm, was not spared, he tugged at Roy's red hair.
Atal felt a pain in his scalp in the air, and heard Connor's voice gritted his teeth and said: "...You're going to be bald!"
Atal: "..."
At most three years old did not run away.
Atar: "...cough cough."
He deliberately made a coughing sound to make the three of them notice that he was coming. Jason, Roy, and Connor finally stopped their hands and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound source.
After discovering that it was Atar, the three of them unified: "..."
They all dropped what was in their hands.
Connor let go of Roy's hair, Roy took a step back guiltily, Jason reacted even more, he flicked the water pipe away.
The three of them couldn't help trying to create the feeling of a mature brother in a panic.
But it's a pity, if it wasn't for their hair sticking to their cheeks with wet hair, and their upper body clothes almost becoming transparent, Atar might choose to believe it.
However, seeing the expressions of the three of them as if they had done something wrong, Atar couldn't bear it, so he turned his back, put on sports coats for them, and took time to sort out their image.
But just as he was turning around, he accidentally stepped on the rubber hose that Jason threw at his feet. It was dented in an arc, and then the water column splashed up, drenching Atar from head to toe for summer. The day is cool.
Jason: "..."
Okay, stop playing badminton, let's all go back and change clothes.
In the frozen atmosphere, Connor turned his wrist over, and the rest of the people didn't poke at his affectation.
Connor said in a tone of surprise that would obviously be exposed: "Ah... it's four o'clock!"
But none of the famous detectives present said anything, they only wanted this moment to pass quickly, or that Connor's acting skills would quickly get to the point.
"It's getting late," Connor continued, "let's go and get ready to change, the dinner party is about to begin."
The four of them returned the same way in silence, Jason was a few steps behind, and Atal noticed it, so he glanced at Connor and found that he was talking to Roy.
Atal took a few steps back, came to Jason's side, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Well...how did you sleep last night?"
Jason glanced at him: "Not bad, Quinn Manor is very good, if that's what you want to hear."
"I don't care much about the niceties, Jason," Attar explained. "You're happy here."
When playing with Conner Roy before, Jason's smile on his lips stunned Atal for a while. I have to say that Jason's smile is much better than when he is expressionless. , making his entire facial features come alive.
"Do you talk like that to everyone?" Jason said suddenly, and Atal didn't know why he was angry.
Jason dropped those words and let out a long sigh.
Very annoyed, he quickened his pace and walked forward, as if he wanted to get rid of Atar.
Atar frowned, then chased after him again, looking for a topic: "You just got water on me."
"I'm sorry, and then?" the other party said irritably, and pulled away again, "Are you going to punish me for this, little hunter? Shoot me an arrow?..."
But the next moment, a bow and arrow suddenly passed by his cheek and nailed to the lawn.
Connor in front of him took out his bow and arrow from somewhere. He lowered his hand and glanced at Jason.
"Be careful who you're talking to," Connor said.
It was a warning gesture, Jason narrowed his eyes, and Roy immediately stepped between the two of them, blocking Connor's view.
"What's going on? What are you doing," Roy said, patting Connor's chest. "Do you want to be late for the party and be laughed at by others?"
Atal put his hands on Jason's shoulders, and shook his head at Connor. The latter was taken aback, but he still didn't say anything. He just put away his bow and arrow, put his back on his back, and looked deeply at Atar I glanced at you.
Then, Connor turned around and left. Roy stuck out his tongue at them, silently said "Smoothie", and immediately chased after them.
……
"I'm starting to feel unhappy now." Jason said in a muffled voice. He must have done it on purpose. "It's not good here at all."
Atar pulled out the arrow stuck in the lawn, held it in his hand and asked, "How did it change so fast?"
Jason glanced at Connor's back, clicked his tongue and said, "Ask the question knowingly, pretend to be stupid."
Atal laughed out loud, and he glanced at Jason: "...Well, yes, this is me."
Jason inexplicably felt that this sentence had a deep meaning.
Wait, last night when he leaned over by the locomotive, he acted like he didn't know what he was going to do...
Could it be that Atal is not what he thought, and he doesn't know anything about it? !
He looked full of doubts, but Atar had already pursued Connor in front with his arrow in hand, leaving no time for him to ask questions.
Jason: "..."
...he'll figure it out sooner or later
