Chapter 57 (2/2)
”After all, some people can't know more at the age of 14, can they?”
Andre raised his chin and looked at Alexei, and finally nodded in a reserved manner.
”In the afternoon you'll get to know someone else. He's stupid sometimes, but he's a good guy.”
”I believe he will.” Alexei said.
So, for such a short period of time, after Anna arranged for her two children to sit in the carriage, she found that Andre's sense of exclusion had disappeared.
”So you know each other, don't you?” She asked.
”Yes, we'll get along well, Aunt Anna.” Alexei replied.
Anna was relieved. She asked Andre's parents some questions and was relieved after they had answered them all right.
At noon, Anna asked the two children for lunch.
She thought it would not be easy. After all, boys of this age are not very quiet, but in fact, both Andre and Alexei are quite clever.
There was no need to worry about their table manners. After a brief conversation, the boys went back to their bedrooms for a lunch break.
At a quarter past two in the afternoon, corney told Anna that they had arrived.
Anna received Charlie's mother and asked the little boy to find Andre himself.
”But he may still be sleeping.” Anna said.
”If he's sleeping, don't disturb him, Charlie.” Said Charlie's mother.
”I see.” Charlie answered and went upstairs.
When no one saw it, the little gentleman with a bow tie began to run wild.
He finds Andre's bedroom, opens the door and sees a puffed quilt.
The boy tiptoed over to try to play a trick. Just as he was about to shake, a huge shadow from behind him covered him in.
Good afternoon, count Charles
Andre laughs, arms in his hands, watching his friend struggle in the quilt.
”It's not the same as the reunion of other families.” Charlie just lay on the bed. ”Even if there are no flowers, at least you have to give me a hug? Brother. ”
Andre had a disgusting look.
Charlie got up and couldn't help but let the two complete the sticky embrace.
”Nice to meet you, Andre!” He said happily, ”in Petersburg, I didn't find any better friends than you.”
The latter sentence soothes Andre.
”I thought you knew that for a long time.” Then he mercilessly drove Charlie out of bed and made his own messy bedding.”Well, that's just like you.” Charlie shrugged, pulled a chair and sat down. He began to talk about his experiences in Petersburg, most of the time he was bitter, but in fact, a lively little boy like Charlie would not lack friends no matter where he went.
But he knew Andre so well that he couldn't tell each other that he had a great time in Petersburg.
They talked for a long time until Charlie's mother was leaving.
”You can't give them any trouble, you know?” Charlie's mother warned her son.
”I won't, I'll be good, just like a newborn lamb.” Charlie grinned and promised.
”Remember what you said.”
Although she didn't believe her son's promise very much, Charlie's mother could only say so. After all, she also knew that their decision to move did hurt the two children, and that although her son seemed heartless and free, she understood that Andrea was also his best friend, as close as a brother.
Therefore, with such an opportunity, and with the care of Mrs. Karenin, she only felt a lot less guilty in her heart.
After accepting his mother's kiss, Charlie happily said goodbye to his mother, and then ran to Andre and looked at Alexei.
”We're all blonde. It seems that we get along well.” Charlie said he was born with a natural familiarity.
”Your statement is totally illogical.” Andrea commented.
”You're jealous. Girls love blonde hair.” Charlie said indifferently. He touched his hair and tried to pat his friend, the blonde alliance, on the shoulder and found he couldn't reach it.
Then he realized the fact that, well, he seemed to be the shortest of the three
But it's OK. He is also the youngest one! The boy comforted himself and patted Alexei on the thigh.
”Right, Alexei.”
”I don't know, maybe.” Alexei said he didn't hate the familiar look of the blonde boy, but he was a little reserved at the beginning. After all, he didn't get any friendly contact in boarding school all year round.
Charlie was not satisfied with the answer.
”Hey, Alexei, if you have a good-looking girl, don't hide it. Good brothers always share everything.”
”Or, smaller? Maybe she doesn't mind the age gap. ”
Alexei shook his head. ”Girls don't like me.”
Charlie's eyes widened. ”Are you kidding? If girls don't like you, do they like Andre's obsessive-compulsive disorder? ”
”Hey, I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder!” Cried Andrea, emphasizing, ”I just like to get things organized and organized, OK?”
Charlie nodded perfunctorily. He continued to look at the blonde and smacked his lips in disbelief: ”there must be something wrong with it. Blonde hair is the best. We are very handsome!”
Anna didn't want to disturb the conversation of the three boys, but until Charlie's problem made Alexey a little confused, she began to worry, afraid that the straightforward boy would accidentally hurt Alexei, but the latter's last words made her understand that she didn't need to worry at all.
”As the nearest, only woman around you right now, I want to say, Charlie's right, Alexei, you look great.”
Alexei's face was a little pale with a flush on it.
”You don't have to comfort me, Aunt Anna.”
”It's not comfort. You have to believe my eyes. You just need to look better.” Anna said, and her eyes brightened.
”Yes, you need to look better.” ( )
