Chapter 119 Warmth
"What's wrong."
"Nothing, just yelling."
Carl lay on Beth's bed, his arms folded under his head.
Beth was also sitting on the other side of the bed, fiddling with the MP3.
Carl accepted Hershel's invitation without any hesitation.
Of course, when Hershel said move in, he meant there was another room on the first floor, and the bedding was already made.
But Carl felt that it was still early, and it would be the same to stay in Beth's room for a while. Well, it would be better to stay until late and fall asleep directly.
"Carl, do you have any favorite music?" Beth turned her head and looked at Carl.
Karl shook his head, then nodded, "I don't listen to many songs, but I seem to have a few that I like."
"what is it call?"
"I forgot, otherwise I wouldn't have shaken my head."
"Damn it, I can even forget this."
"Maybe I just heard a snippet and didn't have the name, so how can I remember it?"
"Okay." Beth pouted and then asked, "Don't you need to go back and tell them today? It's almost eight o'clock."
"Why, are you trying to drive me away?" Carl glanced at Beth and wanted to laugh, but he held back. "I won't leave even if you drive me away."
"Damn it, Carl, you know that's not what I meant. You haven't been home all day, Sean and your mom should be worried."
Beth hit Carl a few times in annoyance and straightened the quilt.
"It's okay, they can't take care of me. Well, they have people they should care about now." Carl curled his lips.
Beth frowned slightly, thought for a while, and seemed to understand something, "Karl, are you unhappy?"
"No."
Beth thought about it, felt that she had to persuade him, and said:
"Hey, Carl, I'm sorry, but your father is dead and your mother Lori is still young, this is normal, and Sean is very good to you, you should try to accept him."
"What if my father wasn't dead?" Carl looked at Beth.
"Carl, you have to accept reality." Beth said helplessly.
"What I said is true, and I can be sure that my father and I will be reunited. Forget it, if you don't believe it, forget it. Okay, that's it. Okay, if you don't believe it, I won't say it.
Well, since you don't believe me, let's just leave it at that and go to sleep."
Karl pulled up the quilt to cover his head angrily.
Beth smiled, leaned over next to Carl, and tapped Beth gently, "Carl, you are like a little kid now, um, very cute."
"Damn it, don't describe me as cute." Carl unhappily poked his head out again.
"That's a compliment, it's really cute." Beth couldn't help but pinch Carl's cheek.
Carl gave up struggling, with a look of despair on his face.
After a while, the flesh on Carl's cheek turned a little red. Carl's skin was still very tender. Beth didn't expect it to turn red, so she quickly put her hand down.
"Sorry, sorry." Beth smiled awkwardly, then said, "I didn't say I didn't believe you, but why are you so sure? And even if what you said is true.
Your father is still alive. I believe that if he meets you one day, he will understand. He will understand your mother. You can't blame your mother.
After all, he hasn't shown up for so long, and Sean has done so much for you. In fact, neither Sean nor your mother can say they are wrong about this matter."
"Yeah, thank you. I see."
Carl didn't feel unhappy, he just missed Rick a little. At the same time, he seemed a little unhappy for Rick. He didn't know how Rick was doing and when he could see him again.
"By the way, Karl, do you really not need to go back? And I can go with you and help you get some things. Didn't you already promise my father to move here?"
"Tomorrow, when the marks on my face have faded a little, otherwise Sean will definitely ask me, and then Jimmy will be in trouble. After all, you don't want anything to happen to Jimmy."
In fact, the real key reason is that Carl doesn't want to leave this warm bed now. As for Sean, he is not impulsive as long as he doesn't watch himself being beaten.
"Karl, you are really thoughtful. Well, don't go back yet. You have already promised me that you will not tell Sean."
Beth thought about it and realized that it was true. Considering Sean's physique, Beth felt that Sean might knock Jimmy's brains out with one punch. It was best not to let Sean know.
"Will not."
Beth nodded and raised her headphones, "Karl, do you want to listen?"
"I don't listen to this. Well, I only listen to your singing." Carl said seriously.
"I'll sing for you when I have the chance." Beth smiled, put the earphone in her right ear, and lay down.
"Why not now?" Carl turned his head and looked at Beth beside him, covering her with the quilt.
"Because I'm listening to it now. No, you can listen to it too. It's not bad." Beth held up another headphone.
Carl hesitated for a moment, but still took it and put it in his right ear. Beth moved the one in her right ear to her left ear because the wire was not long enough.
I don't know if Beth clicked to play again, the song just started. When Carl heard the song, he was slightly startled, and it seemed familiar.
"I'm used to seeing
Calling your name
If I can't see you tonight
I will be in pain
I don't understand why
Time starts to slow down
..."
"I've heard of it." Carl suddenly said.
"Oh? Really? It's a classic song. I like it very much." Beth smiled."Well, this is one of the ones I mentioned I liked but didn't know the name of." Carl looked puzzled.
Is this a coincidence? Carl didn't notice what songs were on the memory card before giving it to Beth.
"It's called 'Uncontrollable Notes'," Beth said with a smile.
"Keep listening." Carl nodded. The particularly warm tune suited the current atmosphere very well. Carl was a little intoxicated.
The song didn't end.
"I'm slowly realizing we can do this, baby
At least tonight belongs to you and me
I can't lose you, it's too painful
I found the abandoned street
You are so haggard
Baby, we can do it
Turn everything around and get through this together."
It was over, and Carl asked, "Can we play it again?"
"Of course, it seems you like it as much as I do." Beth smiled.
Carl glanced at Beth's smile and said, "Not only that, but it also fits the current atmosphere."
"Is there?" Beth thought about it carefully, and it seemed like there was something but she couldn't quite put it into words.
Carl nodded and immediately thought of a song, "Is there a peach in this? It would go better."
"Peach? What?" Beth was stunned.
"It's okay, it's just a song I thought of." Carl suddenly remembered that it is now 10 years later, and that song has not appeared yet and will never appear.
"Carl, who sang the song you mentioned? I don't seem to have any impression." Beth thought about it carefully and asked with some confusion.
"It's a song I thought of myself, not sung by anyone."
Carl felt that in this time and space, even if another ten years passed, this song would not appear in the world.
