Chapter 142 The Poignant Flower (142)
I can pretend that I am happy, but I cannot pretend that I no longer love him.
——Rita Rossweisse
"Does she want to come too?"
"..."
"Okay, I understand. So, my nephew and Rita are inseparable..."
"She can stay here, I just think it's for Xiao Kong."
Then, Theresa hung up the phone, exhaled, and held her forehead.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Theresa said, "Please come in."
The person who opened the door and walked in was Ji Zi: "Principal, is there a new person coming to our academy?"
"Ah, his name is Kuuga, Kuuga Kaslana, and he is my nephew."
Hearing what Theresa said, Jizi also became interested. He walked to her and asked curiously: "Nephew? I never heard you mention it. Isn't Kiana your only niece?"
"Honestly, even I was surprised."
"Neither Cecilia nor Siegfried mentioned him to me; but I am sure that he is Kaslana's man."
"Strictly speaking, he is Kiana's brother?"
That's all Theresa and Jizi could talk to. Jizi smiled slightly and became interested: "Kiana's brother? This is quite interesting..."
"Wait, you just said, what is his name?"
"Empty self, empty self Kaslana."
Ji Zi thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be very familiar. She had definitely heard someone say it before: "Koraga..."
"Um..."
"Ah, I remembered..."
"My former captain once mentioned to us that she met several children who impressed her deeply when she was doing social practice in Manchester."
"And, with her special recommendation, I joined Tianming."
This is also an old thing. Jizi only remembers it roughly. It was when Ragna chatted with them on the battlefield during the second Honken.
"There should be Xiao Kong among them..."
"I remember, Rita seems to be British, right? Is her hometown in Manchester?"
Theresa asked again. She probably guessed what was going on. Xiao Kong was probably a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Rita. Otherwise, how could they have such a deep relationship?
"Rita? She is a British national, but I don't know where her hometown is. That woman has no clues. It is destiny that few people know her past."
"What? Is your nephew related to Rita?"
Ji Zi seemed to be more interested, and Theresa snorted helplessly: "More than just being related, she is regarded as a treasure."
"The two of them are inseparable. That day, I went to Tianming to find Grandpa and ask him for Xiaokong..."
"When I was talking to Xiao Kong, I accidentally said something bad about Rita. This guy almost hit me."
After hearing this, Ji Zi couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and became even more interested in Sora: "Huh? Really? He protects Rita like this?"
"Of course it's true. Do I need to lie about this?"
"Oh, it's my fault too, I still don't understand Rita very well."
"I always feel that she is not worthy of trust."
"Himeko, what do you think of Rita?"
Theresa wanted to hear Jizi's evaluation. After thinking for a while, Jizi gave her own opinion: "Well...how should I put it..."
"This girl is quite special. She's good at everything, but she just doesn't make people like her."
"If I say this, can the principal understand?"
Jizi's answer can be considered to the point. Rita is like this, so special, so mysterious, and she has almost the same attitude towards everything, so that no one is willing to get to know her deeply, even if there is no one. Even in front of Rita, who was in a blind spot, all failed.
As time goes by, no one can choose to trust her.
"Yes, because you think the same thing I do."
"Rita is a good kid, but I just can't get close to her, let alone trust her."
"But, since Xiao Kong believes in her so much, I think we should also try to get to know Rita again through him."
"Maybe we all misjudged Rita, maybe she is not as unpredictable as we thought..."
"I trust my nephew's vision."
Theresa thought this way. Since Xiao Kong was willing to believe it, she might as well try to believe it. After all, it was only a matter of time before they became a family.
"I can do that. Since the principal of the academy has said so, what opinion can I, a teacher, have?"
"Besides, no matter what, you are his relative after all. As an aunt, how can you, as an aunt, keep a check on your nephew?"
