Chapter 357
Chapter 357
Not to mention the mental journey Maria had gone through.
When her mother heard the noise and came to the door, she asked Maria what happened.
Maria looked at the "Maria" in the mirror who was looking at her with a smile, and barely suppressed her anxiety and replied: "It's okay, I just tripped."
After a simple chat, her mother left with peace of mind.
Maria plucked up her courage and trembled to the mirror again. She looked at the "Maria" in the mirror who looked the same as herself, but looked like two different people. She whispered tremblingly:
"You are not real... It's my imagination."
But in the end, she couldn't help but ask: "Why can I see you?"
"Because I've been here." The "Maria" in the mirror said meaningfully.
Maria was puzzled: "Who are you? I don't know you."
"You don't know?" The person in the mirror walked back and forth, staring at Maria, "You can go to the window and see, where you are I am. When you see yourself, you actually see me."
Maria did it.
Sure enough, the reflection of herself in the window blinked at herself like a person in the mirror.
Maria had never experienced such a thing.
"How long have you been here?" She was very frightened.
The person in the mirror smiled and asked back: "How long have you been here again?"
Maria said excitedly: "What do you want to do?"
The person in the mirror was very calm: "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want me to do?" Maria clenched her fists in panic.
Finally, the person in the mirror narrowed his eyes and said his purpose:
"I can take away your sadness."
"Listen, I came for you. I understand you. I know your secrets, your desires, your fears, who you love, who you hate. I understand you best."
"But you are not me, right?" Maria said tremblingly.
"Yes." The person in the mirror was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Look at me, what do you see?"
Maria raised her head and looked carefully: "The other me...you...are very beautiful."
Unlike the timid and withdrawn self in reality, who is charming but never shows off her tail.
When Maria looked at the person in the mirror, she saw another charming self who was completely opposite to herself, like a peacock spreading its tail, generously and naturally showing herself, without the slightest bit of withdrawnness and anxiety.
This was something Maria could never imagine before.
It was also the reason why she mustered up the courage to chat with herself in the mirror.
"We are very beautiful." At this time, the person in the mirror corrected Maria's words and then introduced herself.
"Alan. My name is Alan."
"Remember, I can help you." Alan said to Maria seriously, "Just like the man who helped you today and didn't make you embarrassed, you didn't dare to contact him or express your feelings. I can help you, you just need to sit back and enjoy the success."
Maria's face flashed with interest.
Seeing this, Alan curled his lips and continued: "And Paul and his gang bullied you. You dare not retaliate, I will help you completely. In addition, there is Amy, that bitch..."
Maria interrupted quickly: "Amy is not a bitch! We have been best friends since the third grade."
"Do you really believe that?" Alan laughed sarcastically.
"In the third grade, I remember she left you alone in the sandpit. Alone! Just because she wanted to play with other girls."
"That's not true!" Maria shook her head and denied.
Alan snorted and said, "On the first day of school, you agreed to sit together. But she didn't do it."
Maria continued to shake her head: "No! She was late that day. She..."
"No!" Alan said coldly, "She got there before you, Maria. She sat next to Chloe and pretended not to know who you were."
"Poor little Maria, you were there, sitting alone, wearing a pink dress. Because she asked you to wear it, saying that you looked like a princess. Don't you remember?"
"But I remember! I remember her laughing at you behind your back. When you weren't paying attention, she rolled her eyes at you. I remember all the things you selectively forgot."
Maria stopped shaking her head.
She actually had guesses in her mind about the things she didn't want to mention and wanted to forget.
But Amy was her only friend, and she would subconsciously defend her every time, thinking that the other party was unintentional or had other important things to do.
"True friends will share pain." Alan said sincerely, "Maria, you have too much pain in your heart. I can help you share the pain. Not only that, I can also help you with love, family, and friendship.""You just need to believe me! Believe in yourself!"
Maria's expression moved.
She looked at Alan with hope.
Alan, who had always been calm, showed excitement in his eyes.
"Let me help you! I'll wait for you! You don't have to be alone."
Alan said, and put one hand on the mirror.
"Come on!"
She looked at Maria expectantly.
Maria thought of Amy, Paul, Robb, whom she just met today, and all the failures in the past. She slowly stretched out her palm and overlapped it with Alan's right hand through the mirror.
Alan's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently: "Give me your other hand. And... kiss me!"
Maria did the same with her other hand, and moved her lips closer to Alan.
Seeing that the great work was about to be done, Alan was about to show a bright smile of rebirth.
A hand wrapped around her shoulders and suddenly pulled her away.
Maria was left empty-handed.
Instantly, the smile on Alan's face froze.
"Who! Who is it!"
After more than ten years of anticipation, she was about to succeed, but it was destroyed at the last moment. Alan couldn't bear it no matter how good her temper was.
Not to mention that she herself was not good-tempered.
In extreme rage, Alan didn't think about what kind of person would pull her away from the mirror.
A strong resentment burst out from her body, and she rushed towards the owner of the hand behind her regardless of anything.
However, the next second.
As if she had encountered a natural enemy, the resentment disappeared without a trace.
Before Alan could react.
A familiar voice sounded in her ears, as well as Maria's ears, who was staring at this scene in amazement outside the mirror.
"Little girl, don't think about fighting and killing all day long."
"Be elegant, be cute, and be considerate."
"Do you know?"
......
Florida Express: A man was too excited about playing with mysterious leaves, so he picked up a knife and cut off his Barrett. The man left ketchup all over the floor, and did not forget to give a treat to the crocodile in the canal behind the house. He threw the Barrett to the crocodile to grow. The man was rushed to the hospital due to excessive blood loss. The most amazing thing is that the man's Barrett was picked up. I don't know if it was too chewy or too hard to bite, so it could only be made into a specimen to leave a memory for the man.
