Chapter 379 Party Call

11:30 late at night.

Darkness starts from the horizon of the town and goes all the way to the end of the universe. The ancient wilderness - human fantasy, only humans can think about such a profound place, all dims into black with the darkness of the night sky, leaving only the vast sky. The vast silence and the cold air. The inside and outside of the house are all in harmony, and only the last spark of humanity lights up a lamp that will remain on the street forever.

Mandy bent over and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator. Her lowered hair hung down by her side to let in some light from the room. Her pure white loose T-shirt hung on her back, and the excess fabric on her chest and front was covered by Gravity pulled me down, and the outline of the beautiful trajectory was vaguely reflected under the transparent white T-shirt.

It's a pity that not many people are lucky enough to appreciate this scene, because only Mandy lives in this house. The large house is empty, echoing the wind blowing from the lake, and there is a whining sound behind the curtains. When you open a slit in the blinds with your fingers, you can still see half of the moon swaying on the black lake in the distance.

Homework and textbooks were scattered on the coffee table in the living room, and endless TV commercials were playing on the TV. When Mandy walked to the table with a cold beer, she muted the TV and patted the table. The tape recorder started playing "Old_Time_Rock_and_Roll_" after a slight jam in the room. The dynamic music made her couldn't help but pat the back of the hand holding the cold beer, shook her body slightly, turned around and lay on the bed. .

Maybe it was because she fell too fast. After landing on the bed, a little of the cold beer in her hand spilled out and poured onto her T-shirt. The refreshing cold liquid made her cry out. He immediately sat up and wiped the water stains with a slight embarrassment. At this time, the white phone on the table rang.

Mandy lowered her head and wiped her clothes while picking up the phone, and turned down the volume of the recorder. After answering the phone, there was a lot of noise from the other side, which made her couldn't help but tilt back slightly and pick up the phone with her eyebrows raised. Stay a little further away from your ears, and wait until the sound on the other side becomes normal before coming closer.

"Mandy! Mandy! Can you hear me! Mandy!" The girl's excited and crazy cheers came from the other end of the phone. The background music was the noisy screams of many people, as well as the noise of heavy objects falling into the water and Water splashed and the crowd screamed.

"Lily? Is it Lily?" Mandy held the phone and gently scratched her eyebrows, "You called me at the party?"

"Yes! Mandy, I'm at a party and you really should come. Oh my god, he's trying to jump over the bonfire! That Italian transfer student! He's trying to jump over the bonfire!"

"What bonfire...? Lily, what's the reason for calling me? How much wine have you drunk?" Mandy smiled bitterly and shook her head. In fact, she probably heard that the other party had drunk too much. The group of fraternity boys usually They all had a great time, and I don’t know how much alcohol Lily had drunk tonight.

"Wine? I don't know. There's so much wine here! I just wanted to tell you. The party tonight was great! I wish you were here too! Mandy! You know what. Hahahaha just now Someone put the fish in the fish tank on the grill, grilled it, stuffed it into hamburgers and hot dogs, and ate it haha!" Lily laughed out loud, matching the cheers that suddenly surged in the background. shouted, "He jumped over! I knew transfer students could do it! He jumped over the bonfire!"

"Okay. Are you in a villa in the suburbs? And you have a bonfire? Please tell me that the host of the party is the president of the fraternity, Cross? That's the name, right? I remember to ask him to be restrained and pay attention to the fire. I don't want my uncle. I have to run to your place with the fire brigade in the middle of the night." Mandy sighed and advised helplessly.

"You really should come, Mandy, I'm serious, you really should come! All the transfer students are here! There are so many, many, many unknown people! Some of them proposed to fill the swimming pool with beer! The Italian transfer student is calling the bar down the street. You really should come! Come now just in time to get to the interesting part!" Lily shouted with some inarticulate speech.

"No, let me forget it. I just finished my homework and am watching TV at home." Mandy raised her head and glanced at the TV commercial on the TV. "For you guys, just have fun, but be careful not to drink too much. Be careful, be careful of others taking advantage of you. Where is Amara? She should be with you, right? Is she still awake?"

"Amara? Amara Amara is such a loser!" Lily shouted with a giggle, "She was drunk! She passed out drunk and was taken out of the party and sent home!"

"Being carried. Who was carrying her out of the party?" Mandy was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked after realizing that Lily's choice of words was inappropriate, "A boy? Or someone we know? Who took her away?"

".Boys! But which one. Hey, Mandy! Are you coming to the party? They've prepared a cake and they're going to play Russian roulette, and whoever loses has to do a dance covered in cake!"

"Lily, wake up, I'm asking you who carried Amala out of the party." Mandy suddenly sat up, pressed her temples and asked, "She is our good friend! Don't let him be taken out of the party by someone you don't know." People were taken away! This may be serious, Lily! Can you hear me?"

"Oh my god, there are two boys who are planning to imitate that Italian transfer student in jumping over a bonfire! Wait, do they know there is someone on the other side of the bonfire they are facing!"

Lily's attention on the other end of the phone was no longer on the phone at all, and she was just reciting the party scene to herself, as chaotic and crazy as her current logic and articulation.

"Lily. Hello! Lily! Is there a phone next to Amara?"

"They jumped! Oh, what the hell!" There was a chaotic cry on the other end of the phone, and Lily shouted, "Those two boys hit the bonfire and fell. Drag them out! Drag them out quickly! Throw them in In the swimming pool! Hahahaha”

Mandy was sitting on the couch listening to the chatter on the phone with a headache and anxiety. One of her best friends was now drunk and possibly taken away from the party by a stranger! Although it is common for men and women to have sex at parties, being carried away from the party is a big deal. It is hard to imagine what would happen to a young girl being taken to another place so late. matter!

However, the only other friend who might be able to help Amara was still watching the two idiots dancing on the bonfire. She began to think about whether there was a chance to save her friend from the stranger's crotch by running to the suburbs now. .

"Oh, they're okay, thank God. Mandy Mandy? Are you still there? Mandy!" Lily seemed to have come back to her senses on the phone. After being frightened by some stimulation, she finally regained consciousness and remembered that she was still there. I'm on the phone with my bestie.

"I'm here, Lily, listen to me, I'm asking you a question. Who did you see Amala being taken away by? Do you know that person? How drunk was Amala?" Mandy covered her ears (actually Not helpful at all) asked loudly.

"Why do you care about this? Amara was just drunk, and the transfer student sent her home." Lily's voice was still a little confused.

"Transfer student?" Mandy frowned, "You give the phone number to the host of the party and tell him that I have something to do with him."

"Hey! Wait a minute, I want to play Russian roulette too. I mean, I'm really good at dancing!" However, Lily stopped listening to Mandy on the phone. The girl's mind went astray again. This time He simply forgot about the phone call. Mandy only heard a whistling wind, and then the sound of falling into the water, until the phone was forced to hang up.

Mandy put down the phone with a sad and depressed look on her face. She could probably guess what kind of treatment the phone on the other end received. She also didn't know how the host of the party would feel when he woke up tomorrow and found his phone floating in the swimming pool.

But the most important thing now is Amala’s problem. Lily said that Amala was taken away when she was drunk. Mandy was really concerned about this matter, especially since some unpleasant things happened in school this afternoon. It's hard for her to feel relieved. Although everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their own actions, she has always regarded Amara as her junior brother. No, no, she is a junior sister. Those who are seniors must always treat their junior classmates. Responsible, right?

Mandy quickly put the beer can on the table, plugged the phone back into the slot on the table, turned off the TV, stood up, picked up the coat on the sofa and started to rush out. Just as she was about to walk towards the door, she suddenly stopped He stopped walking and suddenly turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the yard for no reason!

Outside the window, the lawn was silent under the dim moonlight. There was no sound of crickets in the bushes. Iron thorns stood on the top of the black-red fence surrounding the yard. Outside, there was a dark street. The nearest street lamp was shining. Ten meters away, the dim light could not illuminate the entire courtyard.

Mandy stood frozen for a while, staring out the window at the dark and silent yard without saying anything. The room was so quiet that only her breathing could be heard. Her expression in front of the door was reflected in the turned-off TV screen and the floor-to-ceiling windows. The motionless figure.

After a while, the unsettling silence was broken by the sound of a passing motorcycle engine outside the street.

As if the ice was broken, Mandy suddenly let out a breath, ending the strange standoff. She didn't even know why she suddenly froze, as if someone had locked her neck. But there was only one person in this room. She alone? What on earth is she suspicious of?

".illusion?"

She took a breath, straightened her coat to soothe the goosebumps that had appeared for no reason, and was about to leave the house, but just as she put her hand on the doorknob, the phone on the table inside the house suddenly rang.

The piercing ringtone made Mandy's whole body jump, and she took a step back. When she turned to look at the phone on the table, she took a deep breath and tilted her head to gasp out, then quickly walked over and answered the phone.

"Hello? Who are you?" Mandy hesitated and asked.

"Is this Mandy Gonzalez's house?" A strange voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

"It's me. Are you?" Mandy quickly searched for the voice in her mind, but she had no impression.

"Today's transfer student is the red-haired one," the girl said.

".Chen Motong?" When mentioning the red-haired girl, Mandy's mind jumped to the three impressive transfer students this morning.

"It's me." Chen Motong said, "Did you just call Lily?"

"Yes, I want to ask my friend Amara if she was taken outside the party by a stranger?" Mandy said, "Were you also at the party? Do you know about this?"

"Amara? The one with light blond hair?" Chen Motong asked.

"Yes, have you met him?"

"She drank too much and was very uncomfortable. She kept yelling that she wanted to go home. I asked my friend to take her back first." Chen Motong explained, "I just heard Lily mention at the party that you might come to the party to find someone." Amala, I just borrowed the phone to call you, Amala should be home by now."

".I see." Mandy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa. After being quiet for a while, she continued to nod and said, "Thank you. I will thank you personally if I have time tomorrow. I heard that Amara was killed before. It scared me to take it away.”

"Just explain it clearly. Aren't you going to come to the party? It's quite interesting here and everyone is having a good time." Chen Motong asked.

"Are you at the party now? Why didn't you hear the noise?" Mandy asked.

"I'm in the villa, and the soundproofing effect of the room is very good." Chen Motong said, "They are probably doing a striptease now. I don't like it, so I came in to take a rest."

"You just have fun." Mandy shook her head and said, "I won't come."

"Don't like social activities?" Chen Motong asked.

"Absolutely." Mandy smiled softly and said, "But you transfer students are quite good at it. You can sneak into the fraternity party so quickly."

"One of our transfer students was the president of the student union of another school before coming here. He has pretty good social skills. In half a day today, he already became brothers with the guys in the fraternity. The president even insisted that he should be promoted to the next president. Give him a seat." Chen Motong also said with a chuckle.

"That Caesar Gattuso?"

"That's right. It seems like he left a good impression on you?"

"Not really." Mandy shook her head and said with a smile, "I like the black-haired guy more than him. I guess his name is Chu Zihang?"

"Do you like boys with black hair?" Chen Motong nodded thoughtfully.

"This is a bit taken out of context." Mandy smiled lightly and lay on the sofa with her fingers twirling the hair in front of her shoulders. "I just think that person named Chu Zihang is quite familiar. I feel like I have known him somewhere before. People like him.”

"I will convey the exact words to Chu Zihang." Chen Motong said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the prom queen, the most influential figure in the school, would actually like a black-haired boy. Those black-haired boys will be so happy, right?"

"It's up to you." Mandy heard that the other party was just teasing her, and she also smiled nonchalantly and said, "Have fun."

"Okay. Are you home alone?" Chen Motong asked casually before hanging up the phone.

"Yes, I live alone, what's wrong?" Mandy asked.

"It's okay. You have to be careful if you live alone. After all, something happened in the afternoon." Chen Motong reminded.

"Got it." Mandy responded and hung up the phone.

Sitting on the sofa and letting out a long breath, Mandy turned to look at the quiet yard outside the window. She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened it. Suddenly, a cool breeze rushed in and blew into her wet white T-shirt. Somewhat cool.

She walked barefoot to the lawn outside and stood alone in the dark yard. The only light source was the white light in the house behind her. The shadow was cast on the lawn of the yard. She turned around and looked at the corners around the yard to make sure that there was nothing wrong. After leaving, he shook his head and walked into the house, closing the floor-to-ceiling windows and locking them.

Before returning to the sofa, Mandy picked up the phone and dialed a number. After waiting for two full minutes, only a busy signal came from the phone. She patiently dialed again, and after dialing for the fourth time, At that moment, the phone finally answered with a click.
