Chapter 34: Finding Memories
The more Lorcan thought about it, the more he regretted it. He should have talked to Blanche Capra when he sent her back, but he didn’t take the opportunity to do so!
After thinking about it, Lorcan George decided to ask Blanche Capra to come out and have a good chat.
“Hey little sweetheart, it’s me, Lorcan,” Lorcan George said as he finally plucked up the courage to call Blanche Capra after half thinking about the wording.
“Hmm… What’s up?” Blanche Capra’s emotions were a little mixed when she saw Lorcan George’s call, and she wasn’t sure what kind of mood she should be in to face him right now.
“Are you free right now? Let’s come out and talk, okay?”
“A chat? The phone is fine. You have something to say right now.” Blanche Capra didn’t want to see Lorcan George right now, especially alone, after an argument like the one they’d had, after the embarrassment he’d just witnessed from her, after everything that had happened.
“little sweetheart, you don’t even want to see me now?” The sadness in Lorcan George’s voice was palpable.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but hear it in her heart, “No, I just think it’s easier to talk about things over the phone. Since you must meet then so be it. When are you free? Where shall we meet?”
Blanche Capra made a snap decision that she would not be able to avoid this meeting, so the sooner the better.
Lorcan George was overjoyed to hear that Blanche Capra had finally agreed to talk to him face to face, and he couldn’t wait to tell Blanche Capra: “Little sweetheart, I have plenty of time. As long as it is with you, what time I am free, but I think some things or earlier to explain clearly we can each other to get rid of the knot. Are you free today? If so, let’s make a date now.”
“Well, I’m on holiday today. I have time, so where should we meet?” Blanche Capra ignored the seeming confession in Lorcan George’s words and was only focused on asking him for the address.
“little sweetheart, do you remember that spicy hotpot in front of the school before? It’s just that business is particularly good.” Lorcan George purposely chose the meeting place next to the school.
“I remember, his spicy hot pot is cheap and affordable, and it tastes especially good. Every time we went there, the owner’s wife greeted us.” Although the family was not allowed to eat such cheap and unhygienic things as spicy hot pot, she always loved to sneak in and eat it when the adults weren’t looking.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth when she thought about how young she was back then.
“How about we meet there then?” Hearing the pleasure in Blanche Capra’s voice, Lorcan George took the opportunity to ask.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sure, I’ll be there later.”
Lorcan George saw Blanche Capra as she walked to the front of the shop, “little sweetheart, over here!”
“Have you eaten yet? Why don’t we have spicy hot food again?”
Lorcan George didn’t mention what he wanted to talk about when he met Blanche Capra, as if he was just out for a trip.
Blanche Capra see this shop so many people in, talk about the words is really not appropriate, it just happened that he has not eaten, so he agreed.
“Aiya, it’s you two. I didn’t even notice when I was ordering just now. I haven’t seen you for so many years, is this a visit to the school today?” When the food was served, what Blanche Capra and Lorcan George didn’t expect was that the boss’s wife even knew the two of them.
“The boss’s wife has a good memory, she even remembers the two of us after so many years.” Lorcan George greeted the boss lady with a smile.
“That’s so impressive that it’s hard for me not to remember. I remember when you guys used to come to my place every Friday afternoon after school for our spicy hot food, more punctual than ringing a bell. Every time, you sat at this table.” The owner’s wife smiled broadly at the mention of those days.
Lorcan George, on the other hand, looks a little embarrassed and his face is a little red: they were only in primary school at that time. Lorcan George is also a slightly chubby snacker. Lorcan George was also a slightly chubby snacker who was particularly fond of all things tasty, especially when he was hooked on spicy hot pot.
Fearing that the family chauffeur would come early and take them home, every Friday when the school bell rang, he would run to the shop with his school bag, dragging Blanche Capra and the others along with him.
Blanche Capra, apparently remembering this as well, smiled derisively towards Lorcan George.
“Ahem: well, hurry up and eat, or it won’t be good when it gets cold later.” Lorcan George somewhat unnaturally changed the topic.
Blanche Capra was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she laughed at him again: after all, it was black history. So he buried his head and ate as well.
The aroma of the dish was mixed with the spicy strength of the chillies, and the air was filled with an aroma that was unique to spicy hot pot. The soup is fresh and spicy, and the noodles are sinewy and refreshing.
After all these years, the flavour of this spicy hot pot still hasn’t changed.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but sigh in her heart after eating it.
“It just so happens that this place is not far from the school, should we go in and take a stroll?” Lorcan George suggested as the two wandered aimlessly along the road.
“Yeah, it seems like I haven’t been here since I graduated. I wonder if anything has changed inside the school.”
“Changes are supposed to be there, I haven’t been here in a while either, just in time …”
“Blanche Capra!” interrupted Lorcan George before he could finish his sentence, such an angry and familiar voice …
Blanche Capra turned her head to look and couldn’t help but hold her forehead: sure enough it was Shireen Miller!
Shireen Miller woke up this morning feeling dizzy, as if she had a low-grade fever. She is usually afraid of going to the hospital, so she wanted to take her own medication at home to see if she could get better, who knows that after a short while, not only did she not get better, but her head became even more dizzy. She had no choice but to ask the driver to take her to the hospital.
“Stop the car!”
Shireen Miller was sitting impatiently in the car when she suddenly saw two familiar figures: who else could it be if not Blanche Capra and Lorcan George?
Shireen Miller wondered: what was Blanche Capra doing at Brandi’s old school? Was he trying to get close to York again?
When she thought of this and saw Lorcan George beside Blanche Capra, Shireen Miller’s heart felt a burst of anger that couldn’t be contained: what did Blanche Capra mean? What did Blanche Capra mean by seducing York and then Lorcan George?
She called off the driver. Blanche Capra and Lorcan George took a few pictures and sent them to York Charlie: Blanche Capra, you shameless woman! I’m going to expose your hypocrisy in front of York!
After all this Shireen Miller still didn’t feel relieved, she thought about what Blanche Capra had done and moved faster than her brain.
Shireen Miller got out of the car and slammed the door shut with a hard “snap-” and ran with little steps in the direction of Blanche Capra and the others, calling out to Blanche Capra.
Even after seeing Shireen Miller and knowing that she was sure to be a nuisance as soon as she arrived, Blanche Capra wasn’t daunted, “Miss Miller, what’s the matter with you?”
Shireen Miller walked all the way here very fast, plus she was still sick, at this time she spoke obviously a little bit gasping, but she was still arrogant, “Nonsense, if I don’t want to find you something, why do I call you?”
Said she crossed her arms, as if this is more powerful, “Blanche Capra, you this two-faced, hook three women. What? You leave York and you find another one? After York, now you’re messing with Lorcan George? How many guys are you trying to hook up with?”
“Miss Miller you’ve got it all wrong, Little Sweetheart and I are just out to say something. Besides, there’s nothing between little sweetheart and York Charlie, it’s York Charlie who’s been pestering us little sweetheart. Miss Miller please be careful what you say.” Lorcan George couldn’t help but interrupt Shireen Miller when he saw her talking harder and harder.
