Chapter 1492
Crystal didn''t get up until it was veryte.
She looked into the mirror to make sure that there were no dark circles under her eyes and her
eyelids were no longer swollen. Then she slowly came out of the room.
It was warm downstairs.
It was noon, and the air exhauster in the kitchen was buzzing.
Crystal walked over and saw her parents in the kitchen. Adam was standing in front of the stove.
Anthea was watching him cook with a cup of water in her hand. When they asionally and
casually looked at each other, their eyes were full of affection.
She curled her lips.
She grew up in a loving family. Every time she saw such a scene, she felt extremely warm and
yearned for it.
She also wanted to find her man.
Erik''s figure appeared in her mind.
She closed her eyes and suppressed such thoughts.
When she opened her eyes, the couple happened to notice her. They waved at her lovingly. "Lil
Star, you are here."
Crystal immediately pounced over with a smile. "Dad! You''re back!" "Good girl!" Adam smiled.
"Our daughter is gettingzier andzier. Only when it''s lunch time can she get up from her bed!"
Anthea joked. Thinking of something, she added, "By the way, Lil Star, didn''t you go out with Erik
Crystal said vaguely. "Emm..."
Seeing that she didn''t want to talk, Anthea stopped to ask her to help serve the food on the table.
Adam had exquisite cooking skills. As long as he was at home, he would cook for his family. After
not seeing them for a week, he would naturally cook a big feast.
When Crystal smelled the food just now, she had started to feel very hungry.
One-third of the dishes on the table were her favorites, of course, the remaining two-thirds were
Anthea''s favorites.
After setting the bowls and chopsticks, Crystal looked upstairs and tried to sound natural. "Is Erik
still sleeping?"
Anthea said, "Erik is gone!"
"Gone?" Crystal was stunned.

Anthea exined, "He went back to the
Tbridge City. He left early in the morning! He said that he didn''t want to disturb you sleep, so he
didn''t wake you up!"
Crystal nodded slowly.
She sat on the chair, feeling stiff.
Anthea sighed and said disappointedly, "In fact, I was reluctant to let Erik leave. I wanted to keep
him for the new year, but after all, he has his own biological mother now. She would also want to
see him. He has been in Ice city for so many days. I can''t stop him from gathering with her!"
Adam looked at his daughter and said, "Lil Star, let''s eat."
Crystal said in a low voice. "Ok."
She picked up the bowl and started eating.
Seeing such a rich meal, she unexpectedly had no appetite at all. It was as if her heart was stuffed
with a stone, heavy and stuffy.
The following days went by quite normally, day after day.
The New Year seemed to have passed very quickly, like the sands between fingers.
Crystal stayed at home after the new year and in no hurry to go back to Francis. It seemed that she
tried to avoid something. When the semester was about to start in March, Anthea urged her to pack
up and book a flight.
When she left home, Anthea reminded her, "Your father is busy. And it''s a peak time in hospital now.
We can''t see you off. Be careful
I ”
on your way!
Crystal smiled childishly. "Oh, Mom, I''m not a child! I can go alone!"
Anthea nodded with relief.
She was quite reassured that her daughter was independent. When Crystal was a child, she and
Adam loved her as much as they could, but they did not spoil her. For example, to train her ability,
they supported her to go to Tbridge City as a volunteer.
Anthea sent Crystal to the airport. When they were about to say goodbye, she said, "By the way, Lil
Star, I have called Erik. He will pick you up!"
Crystal was stunned.
It was a long flight and it was almost afternoon when shended.
Crystal went home in a hurry, so she didn''t have any luggages. With her lightweight bagpack, she
went to the exit along with the stream of people.
Coming out of the airport lobby, she saw Erik from a distance.
He did not wear military uniforms and his shirt cor was open, revealing his neck and corbone.
He was leaning against the car, with a cigarette in his hand, and the white
smoke scattered with his breath.
His face was enveloped in the smoke.
With merely a nce, Crystal was unable to breathe smoothly.
She clenched her hands and adjusted her breath. Then she walked towards him in high spirits and
greeted him sweetly as before, "Erik!"
"Lil Star." Erik straightened up.
When he saw her, he stubbed out the cigarette.
No matter when they meet, Erik was very concerned about her. "Have you eaten yet? Are you
hungry?"
Crystal shook her head. "Not at all, I''ve eaten on the ne!"
Erik nodded and opened the car door for her. Then he got in the car.
Crystal fastened her seat belt and asked, "The flight is a littlete. Have you been waiting for a long
time?"
"Not bad!" Erik said.
Crystal said helplessly, "In fact, I can just go back by myself. The transportation is so convenient.
You don''t have toe all the way here!"
"Of course I have to. I am your brother." Erik said in a mocking tone.
After smoking, the cool smell of tobo lingered on his body.
She couldn''t help but ask, "Didn''t you quit smoking?"
Erik''s eyes were dark. "Well, I couldn''t hold back sometimes!"
An hourter, the car stopped at a high-rise residential building in downtown.
Erik took her backpack and walked ahead. Crystal silently looked at his broad back. Their
interactions seemed to be the same as before, but she still felt a slight alienation between them.
Just now, when Erik straightened up, she thought that he would rub her head like before, but he just
opened the car door. After all, they were just siblings.
Crystal clenched her hands.
The door was opened and they entered one by one.
When Crystal stepped into her room, Erik said to her, "Lil Star, let''s have dinner outside and then
pick up someone at the high-speed railway station!"
"Okay!" She nodded.
At the same time, she was a little confused about who to pick up.
