Chapter 1016 Walking to school, Melissa has company
"Why are you following me?"
Melissa asked as she waited for him to arrive.
His eyes were full of suspicion.
She also became wary of him.
As a girl, it is understandable that she would be paranoid when faced with being followed by a stranger.
Chiba didn't even know her in the same way. Although she misunderstood her, she still replied very nicely: "No, right? We're just on the same road."
go the same way?
Is it really such a coincidence?
Melissa looked suspicious: "Then where are you going?"
"Technical School Tingen."
Chiba said, stepping forward first.
He is also from Tingen Technical School?
Melissa felt something was wrong, but she just had no evidence.
But he still caught up and asked: "Then why haven't I seen you before?"
"I didn't live here before, so of course I couldn't see it. Now I've moved into the apartment next door to you, so I'm going this way. Besides, I'm two grades older than you, and you're a freshman. It's not normal for you to not seem to know each other.
?”
Qianye had already thought of the right words for Melissa's little problem, but couldn't find any clues.
What Melissa thought about was: "Then why didn't you take the car instead of walking to school?"
"Don't you also hike? Why can't I?"
Melissa: “…”
"I'm trying to save money. If my family doesn't have the conditions, it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Don't I like it?"
Melissa: "Pretend I didn't say that!"
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Chiba was happy and leisurely. He walked side by side with her and said, "I tell you Melissa, there are not many girls who like steam and machinery, but why do you like this industry?"
"I like it, don't you?" Melissa said, imitating his tone and words.
Chiba: "..."
It seems that this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
…
Fifty minutes later.
Chiba and Melissa arrived in front of a college. The huge stone at the door had the words "Tingen Technical School" engraved on it.
Looking at the male-to-female ratio, the number of girls is less than one-tenth of the number of boys.
It's normal that some girls like gears, bearings, springs and other objects, and she has a special liking for them.
Of course, there are also some girls who have the same interests and hobbies as her.
There are also some people who have no choice but to attend this college.
Not only did Melissa have no choice, she decided to become a steam mechanic.
Relatively speaking, this world is not an ordinary steam machinery world, but an extraordinary world, a world with extraordinary power.
Extraordinary is undoubtedly alien energy, dark matter, etc.
Magic is one of the extraordinary energies.
Students who were not students of Tingen Technical School were not allowed to enter, but this was not the case in Chiba. A shrinking man had already arrived on the playground, faster than others could see, so no one saw how he appeared.
Melissa didn't pay attention for a moment and saw Qianye already on the playground. Although she was curious, she didn't take it seriously.
Without saying much to him, he walked towards his classroom.
…
As the sun set in the west, the bell rang for the last afternoon class at Tingen Technical School.
Then there was the lively scene of students finishing get out of class, leaving the classroom, walking to the playground and going home.
Melissa came to the playground and looked around, but she never saw him.
When she walked out of the school gate, she didn't see him at the door.
"Didn't he come out?"
Melissa muttered to herself as she walked back home.
I would look back from time to time, hoping that he would catch up.
But every time I looked back, there was nothing behind me, and there was no sign of him anywhere.
"Where is this guy going after class? Isn't he going home?"
Maybe she was too bored walking home alone and wanted to have a companion to walk with her.
After all, it takes fifty minutes to walk from the apartment to the school. It would be nice to walk a few hours slower and have a companion to walk with and talk to.
But every time she looked back, Melissa didn't see his figure, and she felt a little disappointed.
…
Da da da~
Until she heard that special footsteps again.
is it him?
Melissa looked back uncertainly, and this time he was not disappointed. She saw Chiba just ten feet away behind her.
So I slowed down and waited for him to catch up with me.
Chiba came to her side within a few steps and put his arm around her shoulders: "Melissa, why did you go alone first and didn't wait for me?"
"I...why should I wait for you?" Melissa said shyly.
He shook his hand off forcefully.
Chiba wasn't angry either: "Okay Melissa, what are you going to eat tonight?"
Melissa thought for a while: "I asked Klein to buy peas and lamb in the morning. Let's just stew the peas and lamb, bread, and tea!"
"What about you? What does your family eat? Your parents should be waiting for you to come home for dinner, right?"
Since Melissa's parents passed away, she has had no sense of security. Benson is busy with work and rarely goes home. Mainly because he is far away from home and only comes back on Sundays.
So she was very envious of children with parents.
"Well, I'm just one person, so where can I find my parents?" Qianye said the truth.
After traveling through time, he is an orphan and has no parents.
"What about your parents?"
"I grew up in an orphanage without parents."
Melissa was a little moved when she heard this, which was considered to be related to the same disease: "I'm sorry! I didn't know you..."
"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Chiba said, putting his hand on Melissa's head and touching it a few times.
