Hoffa looked into the room. From afar, he could see Aglaia's back facing him, her silver hair flowing down like a waterfall.
She had two maids by her side. They were standing beside her and changing her headdress.
Aglaia's room was light yellow, but it was not as exaggerated as the hall downstairs. Although it was large, there was only a large purple bed, and the rest were bookshelves.
The only thing that truly reflected her identity as a young girl was the dressing table in front of Aglaia.
If the scene downstairs made Hoffa feel like a social ball in the 19th century, then this scene made him feel like he was back in the 18th century before the industrial revolution.
Noticing the movement at the door, the two maids turned their heads and saw a strange-looking young man standing at the door.
It was a young man with gray hair and light golden eyes. He wore a black suit, a bow tie, and a pocket watch. There was a silver stud in his ear, and his expression was indifferent.
Aglaia saw the reflection in the mirror and almost laughed out loud. But she immediately regained her serious and proper expression.
"Go out, this is my friend. I have something to talk to him about."
Aglaia said to the two maids in a reserved manner.
That tone, that voice, it was so dignified that Hoffa felt it was inconceivable.
When did this girl speak in such a tone in school? Every day, she would either brag or say something like "Hogwarts is really a trash school."
The two maids put down their headdresses and floated past Huo Fa with curious eyes.
Bang.
The door closed, and the footsteps disappeared.
Aglaia stood up and turned around.
Inside the spacious room.
She wore a light purple dress and crystal clear high heels. She wore a silver half-moon hair accessory and white gloves. Her hands were placed on her abdomen, revealing her collarbone and shoulders. She was as dignified as a princess of a kingdom.
Hoffa didn't know what to say for a moment. Compared to last year, she had grown taller again. She was probably still taller than him. If she was still a girl last year, she could indeed be called a young girl today. Some feminine qualities were gradually becoming apparent on her.
He felt as if he had returned to two years ago, when he had first laid eyes on her at Nine and Three Quarters Station. She had been breathtaking.
However, this time, the amazement didn't last for more than three seconds.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and then …
"Hahahaha …!!"
Aglaia pointed at Hoffa and laughed out loud.
The sudden change in style caught Hoffa off guard.
"You're wearing … a bow tie … Oh my god, they actually made you wear clothes from twenty years ago … Hahahahaha!"
She burst into laughter.
Huo Fa shrugged and heaved a sigh of relief, unable to hold back his laughter.
Only then did he confirm that the other party was his classmate from Hogwarts.
He walked into the room and sat down on the other person's bed. He tore off the bowknot-like thing on his throat and threw the meaningless pocket watch aside.
"You can do it." Hoffa said, "You left me in the hospital for a month and didn't care about me at all. Seeing you once was like seeing Churchill."
"You think I want to?"
Aglaia kicked off her high heels and jumped onto the bed barefoot. She looked up at the sky and sighed exaggeratedly.
"Ah!! I've really, really had enough. This summer, my mom locked me up for a whole month and didn't let me go out for a whole month. She wouldn't even let me take a step out! "
Hoffa was shocked. "Why?"
"Because there's a war and people are dying. She thinks that if there's a war outside, I might be kidnapped, killed, or shot. Oh my god, I'm going to go crazy if I keep it in. Even if I don't go crazy, I'll get depression! "
She hadn't seen Hoffa for a long time. The moment she saw him, she poured out her grievances. She even pulled out a few summer vacation plans that her mother had made for her and showed them to Hoffa. Hoffa took a look. There were only three things on it.
Wake up, eat, and sleep.
"Your mom didn't do anything wrong …" Hoffa said gloatingly.
"Aiya, aiya, don't talk about me first."
Aglaia tossed the list aside in annoyance and climbed up from the bed. She excitedly whispered into Hoffa's ear, "I heard that you injured someone from the hospital. And severely injured at that! How does that feel? Beating up your boss? "
When she asked this, her eyes were shining as though Hoffa had done something incredible.
"Get lost. If you hadn't assigned me that unlucky position, would I have done something like that?" Hoffa was annoyed.
"Yo, you're blaming me now."
Aglaia punched Hoffa. "Aren't you always Mr. Nice? Why are you suddenly so hot-tempered?"
"You have the nerve to say that I have a hot-tempered temper."
Hoffa sneered.
She giggled. "What's the Eastern saying again? One is marked by the company one keeps, right?"
"You know a lot. You even know the proverb."
Hoffa thought of something and his expression turned serious. "I want to resign."
When Aglaia heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "Ha, what did you say?"
"I said, I want to resign." Hoffa repeated.
Aglaia sat up straight and knelt on the bed. Her expression was serious. "Why do you want to resign? Didn't you promise me?"
"The system of Saint-Mango Hospital doesn't suit me. I don't want to work there." Hoffa spread out his hands and jumped off the bed. "The hospital makes me feel suffocated."
"You're suffocating? I'm the one who's suffocating!" Aglaia said angrily.
Hoffa said lightly, "What do you have to hold back? Put on makeup, receive gifts, and enjoy the pursuit of hundreds of people."
Aglaia narrowed her eyes and looked at Hoffa with her arms crossed. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I'm just complaining."
"Do you think I want to celebrate this birthday?"
Aglaia said softly with disdain. "My mother just found a reason to gather the family members who don't usually contact each other."
"Your mother?"
"Yes."
Aglaia sat cross-legged on the bed. She didn't look ladylike at all. "Elise Dracath."
Hoffa came to her dressing table with his hands behind his back and picked up a photo.
In the photo, Aglaia, who was about six years old, was holding a ball with snot running down her nose. Next to her was a woman sitting cross-legged on the grass. She was smiling, but there were only mother and daughter in the photo.
"Where's your father?" Hoffa asked.
"Him? I've barely seen him. "
"I saw him send you off last year …"
"That's the only time I've seen him in my life."
Aglaia said coldly. "He's a half-elf. He's always wandering outside. That's how I got my hair."
"Oh," Huo Fa replied and put down the photo. He started to feel upset. She looked like a rich kid, but she was actually a girl from a single-parent family. No wonder she was so stubborn.
Aglaia said, "Anyway, there's something wrong with the hospital. That's why I asked you to go there. If you're not even willing to help, then you're too mean. "
"I've already crippled him," Hoffa said calmly.
"So what? I've wanted to beat up people like Bolton for a long time. His nephew harassed me more than twenty times during the summer vacation."
"You're using someone else to do your dirty work?"
"Bah, don't make it sound so bad."
"No, I still have to resign."
"Why are you so difficult to talk to?" Aglaia was anxious.
Hoffa shook his head. He thought that half of the summer vacation had passed, and he hadn't even gotten a single shard to level up. He felt so sorry for himself that he was still in Saint-Mango.
Aglaia said, "Then tell me, if I let you go, what do you want to do?"
"Travel."
Hoffa chose a nicer way to put it.
"Why are you the same as Miranda!?"
Aglaia rubbed her hair angrily. "She runs away when it's the summer vacation."
"She's not coming to your birthday?"
"Humph, she went to New Zealand. She's probably hanging out with the Maori Wizards now."
"Oh my god."
Hoffa groaned. This was probably Ravenclaw's characteristic. He always had a sense of independence.
"So, you're not allowed to resign."
Aglaia put her hands on her waist. "I can agree to your other requests, but you're not allowed to resign.
"Are you crazy? Isn't it easy to hire a receptionist to guard the hospital? Why do you want me to do it? I don't want to stay in the hospital. "Hoffa did not waver.
Aglaia was stunned. She tilted her head and asked, "Just not staying in the hospital?"
"I don't want to stay in the hospital," Hoffa emphasized.
Aglaia immediately perked up. She jumped on the ground barefoot, put her hands behind her back, and mysteriously came to Hoffa with a smile on her face.
Hoffa took a step back and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"
Aglaia rolled her eyes at Hoffa and said, "I knew you couldn't sit still."
"And then?"
