HP: Hogwarts Snake

Chapter 387: Della at the center of the title

When Tang Jing caught up with the three younger brothers and sisters in front, they were talking about Della.

"She's amazing. How did you get to know such an amazing person?" Tang Ming couldn't help but say, "I heard that she used to be roommates with that Bellinda. Is she the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the F country school that you studied in?"

"Why don't you say that you are not related to me at this time and are getting in between the lovers?" Tang Yu plucked a handful of flowers on the roadside and teased his sister as usual.

"That person is always wrong sometimes," Tang Ming turned her head and snorted, reaching out to pull Tang Ming who was a few months younger than her, "What do you think, Fifth Brother?"

"Hmm..." Tang Yun looked thoughtful, "She is definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe she is a big shot abroad that we don't know about."

"You, don't know about wizards abroad?" Tang Yun interrupted the conversation at this time. He had been taught foreign languages ​​by various materials by different people in his family since he was a child. His grandfather used letters, his grandmother used classics, and his mother and father used foreign newspapers, but the former used one from a Muggle newspaper and the latter used one from a wizard newspaper. He also saw Della for the first time in the Daily Prophet.

"How many wizards are there abroad? Can they fill up a county? What kind of a big deal can they cause?" Tang Yu said as a matter of course, "Besides, famous things over there have never been circulated here. Of course, we prefer to watch international events."

"So, Della is indeed very famous?" Tang Jin asked with her head tilted.

"Go back and check it for yourselves." Tang Yu didn't want to say anything that could not be considered positive about Della. He felt that just telling others about her life experience could be hurtful.

"It can be found..." Tang Yun lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and his ponytail drooped with it.

"Never mind that," Tang Yu, who was aroused by Tang Yu during the day, looked at Tang Yu with curiosity in his eyes. He planned to go straight to the point, "Second brother, how did your family entertain that little girl at that time? Is there any story in between that we don't know?"

"It's just a normal game, the same as the one I took you guys to play before." Tang Yun's eyes unconsciously looked forward, avoiding direct eye contact, "What kind of story can there be..."

"Why do I seem to hear regret?" Tang Yu raised his voice and said in a mean way, "I thought there was something going on between you two, and I thought it was a meeting gift."

Meeting gift...

Grandpa and his friends gave Della a red envelope.

Tang Yu was a little dazed. Of course he knew the real reason why the red envelope was given out, but he still unconsciously gained some pleasure from this forced act.

A pleasure that made him spit.

"Huh?" Tang Yu, who had just mentioned it casually because his parents said they were going to give Belinda a meeting gift, looked at Tang Yu's dumbfounded expression and shouted, "No, are you really giving it to me?"

Tang Ming and Tang Yu also looked at Tang Yu, their eyes full of doubt, but they still waited patiently for Tang Yu's explanation.

"Of course it's not a meeting gift, it's just a return gift," Tang Yu, who was being held up, explained, "She came on Christmas Day and prepared gifts for us, but we didn't. We were also giving a red envelope to Bellinda at the time, so we used the red envelope as a return gift."

"You just keep guessing." After hearing this, Tang Ming hit Tang Yu first.

"Yes, Third Brother, you are really something. It would have been fine if you didn't know how to talk about it before, but it's impolite to talk about it now," Tang Yu said righteously, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who fanned the flames in Tang Yu before, "How could someone who can play such a good chess game get involved in such a weird emotional entanglement."

Tang Yun felt that this was wrong, as if being in love with him was a very strange thing, but he didn't know where to start to refute it. And Tang Yun's next sentence made it even more difficult for him to retort.

"She can play such a meticulous chess game, second brother. It's not that she looks down on you. She can easily kill you, and you don't know it yet. But don't worry, she will never do that, because she must have a broader vision, and all her intelligence will be poured into greater careers, and will not be wasted on love affairs."

"I didn't expect that, although you are shameless, you are quite eloquent." Tang Yu, who was stabbed in the back, let out a click of the tongue and began to look at Tang Yu with admiration.

"But I think I can still spare some energy for love," Tang Yun changed the subject, took out a small mirror and looked at her pretty face with satisfaction, "and my second brother is too old, I think I am pretty good."

"Shameless!" Tang Yu slapped Tang Yu's head. Tang Yu grabbed his hair and swung his fist.

Needless to say, everyone praised Della's intelligence in the evening. She became the center of the topic, and the topic about Della continued even after everyone went home late at night.

The incense burner in Zhou Yushi and Bellinda's room was lit, and thick but not greasy incense smoke rose from the mountain-like burner. The two people in love sat cross-legged on the bed, with red envelopes spread out like fish scales around them.

Belinda can earn money, and a lot of it, but today's wealth crisis is too great, so much cash, so many jewelry fell directly on her, no one loves money more than Belinda at this moment.

"If you count money, wouldn't it be a greater happiness if you get tired of counting?" Zhou Yushi joked as he opened the red envelope and counted the money with Bellinda.

Belinda raised one hand to her chest, raised her swan neck and said in a dramatic voice, "What should I do, dear? I am corrupted by money!"

"Then go and become a goddess made of gold!" Zhou Yushi raised his hand and performed a little magic with a laugh. Money burst out from several unopened red envelopes, and those bills became the fluttering background behind Belinda.

Belinda smiled and stretched out her hand, grabbing two bills. As she moved, a jade bracelet slipped off her wrist, making her laugh even more. "Why didn't you tell me that Country Z's home is so good before, dear?"

"I'm afraid you'll look down on those houses that are just for show," Zhou Yushi said pitifully. He moved closer to Belinda, pressing down the red envelopes on the bed. "Promise me that you'll be more tolerant of me when we return to Country F, okay?"

"We should be stricter with other ignorant suitors, right?" Belinda pinched Zhou Yushi's chin, twisted her body, raised her eyebrows, and in an instant she was charming and cold. If her chin hadn't been held down, Zhou Yushi would have pounced on her.

But tonight, there are other topics that need to be discussed.

Things are done one by one, but one side cannot do the other side, otherwise the side that he originally did will be wasted.

"That's even better, Belle," Zhou Yushi responded, putting away his charming thoughts. He looked at Belinda's expression, estimated how much Belinda's good mood could alleviate the impact, and spoke in a normal manner, "Oh, I think there may be more gifts next time. Those people had a great time playing chess with Della today, and they all said they would come to visit again."

"I heard them praising her at the dinner table," Belinda kissed Zhou Yushi and then let go of his chin, successfully changing the subject, "I think Della had a very happy day today."

"I think so too. When I went to call her at night, she said she liked playing chess," Zhou Yushi immediately took advantage of the situation, "which made me feel more at ease. When I came back, grandpa told me that she--"

Zhou Yushi stopped talking, his eyes slightly open, as if he had said something wrong. He had a rare shy look, which successfully led Belinda to delve into the topic, "What's wrong with her?"

Bellinda's eyes widened. Seeing that Zhou Yushi was still in a dilemma and unwilling to speak, she continued aggressively, "You said your grandfather was a great doctor. Is there something wrong with Della's health? Is it very bad? Tell me now! Zhou Yushi!"

When the full Chinese name came out, Zhou Yushi was shocked and couldn't help but feel fortunate that Tang Yun could sacrifice his own interests, otherwise a year later, it would be difficult for him and Bellinda to end up in a bad situation over Della's matter.

"I'm afraid you'll worry, and I'm even more afraid that Della will know this news," Zhou Yushi said sincerely, "This news is too bad. I'm afraid it will make her condition worse. You know, her mental condition is already not good."

Knowing that her emotions were easily exposed, Belinda slightly suppressed her anger, but her face was still as cold as ice. "So what exactly is going on?"

"I became ill from worrying, so my health was badly damaged," Zhou Yushi observed her reaction and said slowly, "My grandfather said that even if I get rid of my worries, it won't get better overnight."

"Could it be..." Belinda's nose felt sour, and her amber eyes suddenly became empty, "Dela..."

"It's not incurable yet," Zhou Yushi said quickly, holding Bellinda's hand. "I asked my grandfather to find a solution. Sister Xueji has made some progress, but you know, it's hard to guarantee a cure. I'm afraid you'll be too worried. I really don't know how to tell you."

"So, there is still hope for Della?" Belinda sniffed, tears finally welling up in her eyes. She fell into Zhou Yushi's arms and said softly, "I want to see her being able to be herself without any scruples. I've thought so since the first time I saw her."

"I know," Zhou Yushi stroked Belinda's back gently, "such a heavy sense of distance shouldn't appear on a teenager like that."

"So," Zhou Yushi lowered his head and looked seriously at Belinda's amber eyes that fascinated him, amidst the red envelopes on the bed, "let's all work hard for Della's pursuit of self."

Belinda looked into those black eyes, sobbed, and buried herself in her lover's arms in a rare moment of vulnerability.
