Chapter 128: My first love Seifer

In the courtyard.

Lake held a glass of bourbon, sat in a chair, and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

That's right.

Christmas, Christmas, there is no Santa Claus, if there is no snow, what's the point?

Skye, wearing a white down jacket and an edelby cap, opened the door and walked out.

Lake tilted his head.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Skye sat on the chair next to him, looked at Lake, and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "You didn't seem to mention to me that you were also adopted."

Lake frowned and looked at Skye: "No?"

There should be.

Lake remembers that when he asked Skye why he didn't go to a foster family when he was in the hospital, he seemed to have mentioned that he resonated with Skye.

Skye shook his head: "No, you don't."

Lake shrugged: "Well, now you know, how about it."

"...What about what?"

"Do you feel that you are so lucky to meet me?"

"If you say "gratefulness" refers to the first time I met you with appendicitis, and the second time I met you to have a craniotomy, if that is the case, yes, I am indeed very lucky."

"..."

Lake laughed and shook his head.

This is probably the most memorable memory of the two of them. After all, one encounter is an accident, and the second meeting in a row is to lie in a hospital bed. Wow, this is no longer an accident that can be described.

Skye clapped his hands and looked at Lake: "So, can you tell your story?"

Lake looked at Skye: "The story is the same as you, the most is that I am so lucky than you are."

There is nothing to tell the story.

But Skye was willing to listen, and Lake felt that it didn't matter if he told it, his story was not a movie, there was no hot spot, no ups and downs at all.

The story is simple.

Lake was three years old when he awakened his memory. He was in a rescue center in Washington, D.C., and maybe because he was a bit too demented before awakening, no foster family was willing to adopt him.

Then, Lake stayed in the rescue center until he was five years old. One day, Karen and Thaddeus came over, hoping to adopt a child from the rescue center.

The social atmosphere at that time was different from the somewhat exaggerated atmosphere at the time. Simply put, the federation was in a golden age at that time, and it was not like a lot of low-level trash whites who liked to adopt children to cheat for aid.

The foster family at that time was undoubtedly paradise for the children in the rescue center.

and so……

At that time, the children in the rescue center that Lake was in all laughed and ran to the conference room, looking at Karen and Thaddeus inside, hoping to choose themselves as if they were choosing numbers.

Lake didn't go there.

He has Su Hui, and it feels weird to recognize himself as a parent inexplicably, so when everyone ran to the meeting room, Lake went to the library to continue to recognize ABCDE.

When Skye heard this, he blinked: "Then how can you..."

Lake shrugged: "Karen looked for the bathroom to find the library."

When Lake was looking at the literacy book with pictures and texts in the library at the time, Karen didn't know when he appeared behind him.

After Lake came back to his senses, he pointed to himself and said that he is not for sale, and the items that can be sold are waiting for you to choose at the door of the conference room.

Think about it afterwards.

Lake felt that it was probably because of this sentence that Karen was abducted and returned home.

But at that time, Karen was just taken aback by these words, and then told Lake that she was looking for the bathroom, and Lake said oh and led Karen to the bathroom.

Three days later.

The person from the UNICED informs Lake and tells him to clean up and prepare to go to his new home.

Lake turned his head to look at Skye: "That's it, I'm coming to Karen's house."

Skye blinked, "I think it must be the non-sale item that touched Karen."

Lake laughed and said, "You are not for sale, are you?"

There was a slight smile on Skye's face.

Lake touched his chin: "But... when it comes to this matter, in fact, Thaddeus wanted to adopt a friend of mine at the time."

Sky was stunned.

Lake thought about it, and then shook his head: "However, I found her at the time. If this is the case, I would definitely not leave. Even if I had to leave, I would take her with her, but she denied it at the time.

"and then?"

"No more."

Lake returned to his senses: "About the tenth day, I persuaded Karen to go to the rescue center again, but at that time, she had been adopted away."

"she was?"

"Correct."

Lake smiled, looked at Skye, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Speaking of which, she and I gave each other our first kiss."

Skye made a disgusting expression: "Hey, hey, I'm only thirteen years old."

I lost my first kiss at the age of five.

Did I enter the wolf den?

A scene suddenly appeared in Skye's mind. She was a white rabbit grazing leisurely, and then the scene turned around and she fell into the wolf's den.

Isn't this guy wanting to play with some ghost father?

This is to be sentenced.

Skye looked at Lake with a look of horror in his eyes.

"boom!"

"Wow!"

Skye clutched his head: "It hurts, is this corporal punishment?"

Lake took the badge on his waist and shook it: "You go to the police."

"..."

Skye rubbed his head angrily and changed the subject: "So, that girl from the rescue center is your first love?"

Lake nodded: "Yes, don't tell Karen."

Skye the chicken thief smiled and looked at Lake: "Then tell me, do you remember the girl's name?"

Lake looked up at the heavy snow falling in his eyes.

He remembered that the girl's name was related to snow. After all, their first kiss was not on a snowy day when they were four years old. Lake also wrote a poem at the time.

Today I come to think, the snowy night is flying.

"Sev!"

"what?"

Lake looked at Skye, thinking that the picture became clearer under this memory, and smiled and said, "Her name, Seifer!"

Skye muttered twice, then looked up at Lake: "Is there no last name?"

Talking.

Skye seemed to have thought of something, and made an apologetic gesture towards Lake.

What surname can a group of orphans have? Although many orphans know the surnames of their biological mothers, some do not know the names of their biological parents.

Such as Skye.

Skye wanted to come, that Seifer should be just like her.

"Have you never thought of looking for her?"

"found."

Lake said in a light tone: "I searched for three years, but if I couldn't find it, I didn't find it."

Skye tilted her head: "She was adopted. Maybe, her name and surname were changed."

Lake shook his head: "Maybe, but she shouldn't change her name."

"why?"

"We agreed."

Lake took a sip of Bourbon: "We said in the rescue center that even if we separate in the future, I will still be named Lake. Maybe we will have an extra surname, but our name will never change."

Skye moved in his mind and looked at Lake cautiously: "So..."

She is dead?

Lake shook his head: "Maybe, after I couldn't find a match in the system, I went to the rescue center, but it had already been changed to other things. At that time, most of the rescue center's information was paper. Yes, but no information about her can be found in the system, there are only two possibilities."

Either die.

Either you become a foreigner.

but……

The second possibility is very low. When Lake and Karen went to the rescue center at the time, they heard the reception staff say that the person who adopted Seifer was an ordinary family.

and so.

High probability is dead.

Skye stuck out his little tongue and said to Lake, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Lake waved his hand: "I have already seen it, but I tell this story not to tell me anything, but to tell you something."

Skye pointed to himself and blinked: "Me?"

Lake nodded, sat up from the chair, and looked at Skye with a smile on his face: "Do you have any friends who have made an appointment? Maybe you can make up for my regrets on you."

Skye was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed twice: "Thanks, but unfortunately, I don't have one."

Finished.

Skye got up and walked into the house.

real or fake.

I fell in love at the age of three, and it’s a pity that you thought I was you, but my first kiss was well preserved.

Lake looked at Skye who flung his ponytail and disappeared from his sight. He laughed haha also got up and walked into the house, preparing to add some wine to his glass.

Inside the house.

Betty and Skye, who had just walked in, were adorning the fireplace with the Christmas tree that Lake bought in the afternoon.

Originally Rose had promised to bring one back from Quantico.

unfortunately.

There was a minor in the family this year, which made Betty very excited, and asked Lake to buy one first, while Karen didn't say anything.

But not speaking means not standing in line by default.

It is clear.

Lake couldn't entangle Betty, so he could only make a phone call with Rose and told him not to bring a tree to his house. He ran to town and bought such a Christmas tree.

Since Betty was eighteen years old, the decoration of the Christmas tree was done by Betty, and all the decorations were kept by Betty. In the past few years, Betty was a little irritable after she was fresh, but today, there is an extra little loli. , Betty's freshness seems to be back again.

At this moment.

Betty was teaching Skye’s example, telling Skye how to hang extreme decorations on the Christmas tree so that it would not bend the Christmas tree, and how to draw a circle around the Christmas tree so that he could tell Santa Claus who came out of the fireplace at night. How to put his gifts will also save time for Santa Claus.

"Is Skye's gift ready?"

"get ready."

Lake, who was at the wine cabinet bar, listened to Karen's whispered words, and said with a smile, the gifts are stored in the storage space, and they can be taken out at night.

"Jingle Bell!"

Lake took out his old-fashioned mobile phone, looked at the caller number on it, and connected.

"Hey!"

"...Long time no see, Lake!"

"..."
