In a private dining room of a certain Beiduo Music Academy restaurant, everyone ordered a table full of dishes, ready for a meal together.
The banquet was both a celebration of Harrisons release from prison and a thanksgiving to Carrie Thomas and the Lambert siblings for saving his life.
It was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but while Carrie sat to the right of Harrison, Avril sat to his left.
If it had been the old Harrison who faced this situation, he would have felt a little awkward.
But now, having seen so much and even being attacked by an alien invader, he had unwittingly become far more steady.
Ill toast you twice, Harrison. First, to thank you for saving my life; second, to thank you for writing the song and composing it for me.
Carrie picked up the Lafite bottle, intending to pour Harrison a drink.
Harrison instinctively covered his glass, I cant drink; it will lower
myumokay, just a little.
He almost blurted out that drinking would lower the level of his Azure Dragon Armor, but luckily he remembered that there was no such thing in this era.
Susan Lambert chuckled from across the table, Harrison, are you afraid it will lower your resistance, getting you wasted and out of control?
You shut up! Carrie glared at Susan, her face slightly flushed.
Harrison was pretty speechless.
It was over.
Done for.
If Carrie hadnt said anything, it would have been fine.
But she actually responded to Susan with a sultry tone instead of a stern one, telling her not to talk nonsense.
Big problem!
Harrison didnt dare say anything, just sipping his drink quietly.
Two cups of wine went down his throat.
He hadnt drunk in so long, so the taste was a bit spicy, causing him to eat more food quickly.
Carries alcohol tolerance seemed ordinary, as her face was flushed by the second cup.
The atmosphere at the table was somewhat solemn and strange. Avril broke the silence, By the way, Harrison, youre out on bail now, but youll have to come back to Beiduo Music Academy later to go through the procedure. Also, you may not have seen the news online, but its become quite a big deal, so its best to stay out of the public eye for the next six months, to avoid any gossip. Harrison thought for a while, Thats fine, I wont be on stage anyway; Ill stay behind the scenes.
Ive heard you play the guitar before; your performance level is very high. Ah, its a pity. Avril sighed.
Harrisons mouth full of food, Well, whats to pity about it? I know my own level, and my performance is just okay.
Susans eyes rolled, Let me ask you something, Harrison. Carrie said you went to steal someone elses motorcycle to save us because your right eyelid was twitching. Is that what you told the police?
Harrison nodded, Yeah, what else could it be? Its the truth.
Susan giggled, Then your psychic senses are very sensitive! I wouldnt dare to be so confident myself. Is this the legendary love bond between lovers?
She laid it all out, bringing up some topics Harrison would rather avoid right now.
More terrifyingly, Carrie didnt stop Susan from speaking out, instead pretending to be shy and subtly observing Harrisons reaction.
Harrison realized that he had become entangled in a situation as terrifying as facing the apocalypse.
First of all, he now fully recognized Carries importance.
But her importance was not only rooted in her current persona.
Her yet-to-be-completed, and not even truly begun, artistic career was equally important.
However, in all the timelines Harrison had experienced so far, there was no indication that the two of them had dated.
Carrie had always been a very independent and resolute single woman.
This time, due to the car accident and perhaps some previous accumulation, as well as Harrisons seemingly presumptuous but unavoidable plagiarism, her single-minded beliefs had been greatly shaken.
But now, Harrison really didnt dare to pursue Carrie.
When she was single, she could write those catchy and profound songs.
That was her talent.
Harrison couldnt guarantee whether she would become a love song queen who only wrote about love after falling into a romantic whirlpool.
Before becoming a music master, Carries more fundamental identity was that of a woman.
Once they took that step together, regardless of whether they grew old together or parted ways someday, it would definitely profoundly change her outlook on life and ultimately affect her creative philosophy.
Harrison didnt rule out the possibility that he might pursue Carrie someday, but not now.
Only in the future, a thousand years later, when looking back on history, would he discover that the two of them had become a couple and that humanity had achieved the final victory.
So, despite some regrets, sorry.
Harrison suddenly reached out, grabbed Susans hand, squinted his eyes, and spoke in a magnetic voice, Susan, youre right; our bond is so strong that it must have taken thousands of past life encounters to lead to our acquaintance in this life.
Susan was first stunned, then looked into Harrisons electric eyes, her heart pounding, face reddening, and at a loss for what to do.
Ha-ha, now you know not to play with me!
Harrison knew when to quit.bender
Avril then pulled the topic back, The police didnt believe you, did they?
Harrison nodded, Right, they told me that superstition is not good. But when I asked them, Didnt I end up saving them in the end? They couldnt answer.
Avril: Youre really funny. But you cant mess around like this anymore. I dont know whether to praise you for being clever or to scold you for being superstitious. By the way, you wrote another song for Carrie this time, and both Mr. Owen and Leah benefited a lot from you.. When are you going to write a song for me?
