Chapter thirty-two, bad weather
After delivering the express, Alice naturally rushed to Disneyland and played with her family all day. Although she was quite unhappy when she met Mariana, the depression quickly disappeared.
However, when Alice got up the bed the next morning, just Monday, he found that it was still low today.
"Is it not possible to get along with me? I know that I hate low pressure weather the most, so I am here to bother me?"
Standing in front of the bedroom window, Alice looked at the sky in frustration. Although it was already a day's morning, thanks to the dark clouds, the visibility was no different from dusk. Not to mention that the surging low pressure was everywhere. In conjunction with the tumultuous weather, Alice started to sigh as soon as she got up.
When I walked downstairs, it turned out that the whole family sat listlessly at the dining table again, just like yesterday morning. Low pressure phobia is definitely a genetic disease. Alice looked at Sophie's bored face, James frowned, Oscar looked like he was owed money, Hannah pouted her lips and stared blankly, it was really similar to herself.
"Oh, Vivi, you got up quite early today. This is your fried egg. Well, eat it quickly. I still want to sleep after you all finished eating. I am really uninspiring."
Sophie served everyone listlessly, and Alice swallowed the egg into her mouth in one bite, but it was very difficult to chew; Oscar kept complaining that he couldn't eat, but because of Sophie's erotic power, he had to force himself. Hannah was very obedient and ate in big mouthfuls.
James drank two sips of milk silently and said, "This kind of weather is definitely not too much. Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate after all. If London's temperate oceans are heated up... Humph, the tropical rainforest climate is probably not a single one of our families can stand it."
"Dad, just have breakfast, don't show off your geography knowledge, okay?"
Alice gusted with oatmeal porridge and choked by her appetiteless appetite: "Just say we should be dry and rainy, and it's that type and this type, why don't you go to work at the Marine Meteorological Bureau tomorrow."
James laughed and drank a sip of milk from a big bowl: "Okay, okay. Oh, by the way, Sophie, you really help us check the weather forecast today. It seems that another tornado is about to log in. Vivi's express delivery is about to New York, so don't be delayed."
Oscar snorted and forked a bacon with a fork: "At worst, I can give you another one, it's not a comic urge to urge manuscripts~"
Alice groaned: "I still have to feel wronged now, so I won't need it in the future. After Cisco develops, there will be networks and personal computers everywhere in the United States. If you want to send manuscripts or something, just send an email directly. Some people don't have that chance even if my manuscript is delayed~"
Hannah chuckled: "Oscar, did you hear it? What should you do?"
"Well...if I curse Cisco, I can't develop it...Dad, mom, you won't beat me up, right?"
The whole family looked at Oscar. Facing Alice's terrifying smile, Oscar could only look at his mother.
Sophie: "Well...you guess?"
Oscar: "...then let it go."
The low pressure and cloudy days not only affected Alice and her family. When she boarded the school bus, she found that nearly forty students in the whole bus looked listless. Even the girl who liked to roll her eyes the most was not energetic, but she was just drowsy in her seat.
However, Sissi, who sat in the corner of the back row as usual, is an exception.
"I guess I'll have a very easy life in school today."
As soon as Alice sat down, Xixi said: "Everyone has a legitimate reason to sleep in class, and the teacher herself may not be affected. Maybe she can get off school early, what do you think?"
After Alice sat down, she put her head on Sissi's shoulders and put her hands on her: "Dear, hug me~"
Xixi immediately flashed and looked at Alice with disgust: "Stop pretending there. Can the mere low pressure defeat the magical Alice? Get up and fight quickly, Ultraman fights the little monster!"
Alice looked up at the girl in front of her: "Ultraman?"
Facing the white and tender face that was close to her, Xixi raised her eyebrows exaggeratedly: "What's wrong? Are you only allowed to watch Ultraman's videotapes? Although I can't understand those Japanese for a few miles at all, it's still very satisfying to fight."
Almost every day, Sissi can bring new surprises to herself. Looking back on the first time she met her last winter, Alice still has fun from time to time until now.
The encounter with Xixi was also quite accidental. The first snow last winter was a little later than before. Alice was on vacation in New York at the time, walking into the alley and seeing a gangster surrounding the girl, she immediately stepped forward to help.
Three of the bastards had broken bones, two of them had concussions, and the girl showed her true nature after being saved, kicking them at their lives one by one.
"Hello, my name is Sissi Lawrence. I am eleven years old this year. I am a French immigrant and Capricorn. My favorite book is Margaret's "Gone with Gone" and my favorite food is Chinese cuisine. What about you?"
She was the same age as Alice and immigrated from France to New York to work hard with her parents. Since this incident, Alice has become good friends with her. Just two months later, Sissi took her parents to live in Los Angeles in order to go to school with her.
Today, Xixi's predictions about the school were indeed not wrong. With dark clouds and rare sultry and humidity, coupled with the rare low pressure, the whole class became listless from the early morning. The first textbook should be mathematics, but when Mr. Joseph, who was teaching, saw that almost everyone was dozing off, he simply made Xixi's prediction come true.
"Everyone have a good rest in this class. The weather forecast last night just said that Typhoon Emmel was formed in the Eastern Pacific. Don't forget to go to the supermarket with your parents to buy something. Who knows what will happen?"
After leaving this sentence, Mr. Joseph happened to receive a call and left the students in the classroom and walked out.
Alice immediately fell to the table helplessly: "Typhoon... Can God really make the Oscar's curse come true?"
Xixi was planning to unpack a pack of potato chips, but when she heard this, she looked at her: "Curse? What kind of curse?"
Alice slapped on the table, muttering with mosquitoes: "Don't you want me to write a novel? I just mailed the manuscript yesterday, but I encountered such a ghost weather that has never been seen in a century. Why do you want a typhoon..."
"What did you say!? You've finished writing it!?"
Xixi's green eyes suddenly widened: "What a joke? You really wrote it? I'm just joking with you! Wait, wait, wait... you've finished writing it? You've already... contributed it all!?"
"You're so scared, Xixi, you're so scared!"
"It's not a matter of being quiet!"
The surprised mood was not something that others could hold on to with just one word? I didn’t care about the occasion at all, so Xixi simply shouted: “One week! From conception to writing and then to submission, you only have one week in total! We still have to go to school! We also have to do homework! You don’t go home on time after school every day! How could you write a novel so quickly!”
Alice was just muttering casually, who would have thought that Sissi would have such a big reaction and such a loud voice?
Rumbled the voices kept ringing, but she still had the energy to continue lying on the table?
As a result, it didn't matter if he looked up. Alice looked around and was stunned.
The whole class looked at her.
Yes, the whole class was silent at this time, and almost everyone looked at them in surprise. However, there were a few of them, who were a little drowsy because they couldn't stand the weather today. When Xixi's voice sounded, she was either shaking her head in a daze or asking her deskmate what was going on.
In the end, Johnny, who was not far away, spoke first.
"Sisi, what did you say just now? Alice wrote a novel?"
There were nearly thirty people in the entire class, all staring at Alice and the two girls without blinking, waiting for them to answer.
Sissi looked at Alice: "You explain it yourself."
Faced with Ji You's irresponsible behavior, Alice had to touch her nose and accept it.
I'm really just muttering casually.
Why did Xixi hear it?
It doesn’t matter if I hear it, why did I answer so realistically?
It doesn’t matter if I hear the answer, stinky girl, why are you calling me!!
"Well... it's true. I just wrote a novel. I just used FedEx to New York yesterday. I guess the publisher has received it now."
After saying that, Alice touched her nose hard and looked at the entirely silent classmates around her.
As expected, the fat Johnny widened his eyes in surprise. Ron in the corner grew his mouth. Even the third-beautiful Jennifer, who was second only to her and Sissi, had no image on his face, and his mouth was almost enough to swallow an elephant!
So, after the moment of silence, the expected explosion naturally came!
Chapter completed!
