Chapter 59 The Earl's Personal Servant 13
"Master Earl, this painting..."
Mond spoke softly, interrupting Su Jinzhi's thoughts. He quickly regained his senses and replied: "I painted it."
"But I didn't see any paint lines on the painting." Mond was a little surprised.
Su Jinzhi was silent for a while before he said, "Only I can see this painting. It is my lover."
"He's really a bastard, only willing to see me in the dark, making me miss him during the day, and disturbing my sleep at night, running into my dreams. He is still stingy and doesn't like others seeing his handsome face "Su Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at the painting. He could feel Reeves’s vision projected on him getting hotter and hotter, but he just refused to move his gaze to look at him. He painted it and left it to my own person."
Mond was a little startled: "You already have a lover..."
"Of course, is this something surprising?" Su Jinzhi asked, turning around to look at him.
Mond lowered his eyes: "No, it's nothing."
Su Jinzhi said: "Let's go, we are going to miss lunch time."
Mary Jane was unable to come to the dinner table to have lunch with them because her head hurts. Mond, as a holy man in the temple and a magician of light, was obliged to heal her, so she was long. At the dinner table, Su Jinzhi was alone again.
As in the past countless days, the boy sat alone in the seat of the table master, and his loyal servant waited by his side and placed food for him.
But today, after the maids had arranged the plates, Reeves couldn't wait to rush them away.
The maid bent over, and when she was about to leave, Su Jinzhi called to her: "Don't leave, come and pour me some wine."
Reeves said immediately, "I'll do it for Lord Josh."
"No." Su Jinzhi was finally willing to look up. He smiled at Reeves, and reached out and handed him a piece of bread, "You come to spread jam for me."
Reeves pinched the slice of bread, sighed lightly, took out the jam jar and resignedly spread the jam on him.
So after Su Jinzhi ate his lunch diligently, and Reeves finally got his wish to clear away all the servants in the hall, Su Jinzhi was not accidentally pushed onto the long table by him.
"My little Josh..." The man kissed him eagerly and fiercely, with irrepressible joy in his voice, "Have you remembered me?"
"Remember what?" Su Jinzhi panted and pushed Reeves away, arrogantly tidying up his messed-up collar, then glanced at him and walked out, "Oh, I remembered. I haven't reviewed the magic lesson for many days, and it's time to read the book."
Reeves hugged his waist from behind, wrapped him in his arms, and kissed his neck closely: "I know you won't forget me."
Su Jinzhi elbowed him: "Let go, I'm going to read a book."
Reeves said: "I can teach you those things."
"Teach me what?" The boy turned his head, his beautiful blue eyes were full of worry, "Is it missing magic? You learned this magic well."
"I never left you." Reeves held his shoulder, "I have been by your side."
Su Jinzhi stared at him without speaking.
Reeves sighed, then leaned over to kiss his eyes: "Well, this matter is a bit complicated..."
Reeves brought Su Jinzhi to the bedroom. It was noon, and the curtains of the bedroom were opened. The bright and clean sunlight passed through the rose window and projected onto the thick and gorgeous felt blanket, and the dust floating in the air was faintly visible. , Reeves took him to a stop where the sun and shadow met.
He was standing in the dim shadow in a warm and bright beige shirt, while Reeves was bathed in the sun with a dark gray male servant holding his hand. Su Jinzhi could feel the heat in the palm of his hand, and the warmth that was constantly pouring around him.
"Warm?" Reeves tore off the mask on his face and asked Su Jinzhi's hand in his palm.
Su Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at him. The bright light was immersed in the man's deep eyes, intertwined with love. The moment his eyes met, Su Jinzhi drowned in the gentleness.
He lowered his eyes and spoke softly: "Warm."
"But I shouldn't have such a temperature." Reeves curled his lips, his voice was a little slow, "Because I am not a human being."
When Reeves spoke, he leaned down slightly. In the next instant, Su Jinzhi heard the sound of clothing tearing, and then a shadow enveloped him. He looked up and saw the man's back suddenly stretched out two pieces. Huge black wings.
People from the depths of darkness can stand under the light, but people who should be standing under the sun can only curl up in the embrace of darkness forever. This is really a great irony.
The pitch-black feathers lightly fell on his feet like night, Su Jinzhi looked down at Feather, then looked up at the man's wings, frowned and said, "...Are you an angel?"
"Of course not, my little Josh." The man hugged him, and his black wings slowly surrounded him. Su Jinzhi lay on his chest, listening to the man's dull laughter from his chest, "My mother just Yes."
"I'm the same blood as my father." Reeves hugged him, carefully shrouded him with feathers, and stepped into the sunshine with him. "But there is a bright part in my blood, so I With temperature and heartbeat, the sun will protect me."
There was some grievance in his voice: "But you think my blood is hard to drink, so I can only carefully remove all the golden blood."
Su Jinzhi listened to him and suddenly remembered the question that the man had asked him--
"Do you like your blood?"
"like."
"Then wait for me, when I come back, you will definitely like the smell of my blood."
Reeves lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips: "I'm back. I'm glad you didn't forget me, my dear little Josh."
"But no matter how bad your blood is, I like it." Su Jinzhi raised his hand back to hug him, and gently sniffed the man's breath. The smell was refreshing and clean, like the smell of the sunshine that he had been away from for a long time, warm and warm. Hot, "Will you leave in the future?"
Reeves kissed his eyes lightly: "No, I will always be by your side."
Su Jinzhi raised his head and gently stroked his very familiar face.
At this moment, he was extremely convinced of the existence of the soul, because he really fell in love with this unique soul for him. It had nothing to do with the body they were in, and the world they were in. It had nothing to do with him. People related.
Suddenly, for some reason, Su Jinzhi wanted to cry, his eyes were red, but he couldn't shed tears, so he could only respond in a quiet voice: "I also sincerely hope that I will be with you forever."
Reeves looked back at Su Jinzhi, his gray eyes filled with gentleness. He said, "It will, it will definitely be."
In the Leeds Mountains in July, summer is coming to an end.
The people in the imperial capital were already preparing for the autumn harvest, but Mond still failed to catch the Jimmy Gu who was hiding in the Black Swan Castle. Mary Jane is the only female slave of the Black Swan who has survived from winter to the end of summer, so at some point, the news that Earl Josh Hillier planned to marry her was spread.
While Su Jinzhi knew the rumor, he received a letter from the emperor.
The emperor said in the letter that a humble lady is not qualified to be the Countess of Hillier. In a few days, your cousin Doris Attlee will come to you. She is a beautiful and intelligent girl with a descent. Very pure, if you marry her, you will surely give birth to healthy and lovely offspring.
Su Jinzhi sneered at this statement. The chances of malformed children born from close relatives of immediate relatives within three generations were very high. The real reason why the Er family hid in the Leeds Mountains was not just because of porphyria, but also because of part of their deformed body.
So Su Jinzhi hurriedly wrote to the emperor, saying that his castle was not safe recently and she had better not come for the life of her cousin. One of Su Jin's personal writing was not enough, and he pulled Mond to write together.
Mond also agreed with Su Jinzhi’s approach. After all, the six generations of kinship were not small characters. During this time, two slaves and a maid died at Black Swan Castle, and even one of the waiters in their temple died. Who knew that the emperor's reply came faster after they did this. The emperor said in his reply that he was still a little worried, but since there is the existence of Mond, the great saint of the temple, it must be able to protect Doris, so at the same time as the letter, there are many cousins of Josh Hillier. Liz Attlee.
Doris Attlee is the daughter of Old Josh's married sister and Earl Attlee. She is very healthy, so people once forgotten that she also had the blood of the Hillier family.
Josh Hillier had only heard of this cousin's name before, and had never met her, and had never seen her in the Leeds Mountains. Why would she not come early or late, so she chose Black Swan Come when the fort is not peaceful?
Su Jinzhi shared this question with No.1, and No.1 quickly asked him: "You know that the Hillier family is so bloodthirsty and cruel, but why has this family not fallen for hundreds of years?"
"I don't know." Su Jinzhi said.
"Because of the Philosopher's Mine in the Leeds Mountains, only men with the blood of the Hillier family can open it."
"Can't women?"
"No way."
At this point on the 1st point, Su Jinzhi already vaguely knew why the emperor asked his cousin to come to him.
No matter how great Josh Hillier was, he was only an illegitimate child. In such an age of strict hierarchy, it is definitely not so easy for him to successfully inherit the title of old Josh. But he had the blood of the Hillier family, so the emperor made him easily become Earl Hillier, for the sake of the Philosopher's Mine in the Leeds Mountains.
Josh Hillier is twenty years old. Although he has a long life span and ages slowly, there is no woman around him. Ordinary nobles at his age, even if they are not married, must be accompanied by some beautiful female slaves.
But everyone knows that Josh Hillier’s maids dress more modestly than anyone else, fighting for one to be uglier... In addition, the scandals between him and Mary Jane have gone to the capital these days, the emperor sits couldn’t help it, so sent his cousin to test, to see if he could continue to hold him in the palm of his hand, or-just wait for him and his cousin to give birth to a child, and then cultivate a more loyal Greek. Count Lil came out.
Josh Hillier’s reputation for blood and cruelty is too great, and he is not so loyal to the emperor. In addition, the huge magical stone mine of the Leeds Mountains is only in his hands, it is not impossible for the emperor to fear him. .
But even if he sent Doris Attlee here, it was useless. He didn't like women. Su Jinzhi thought, and Reeves must be upset when Doris is here.
Reeves was really upset. He made Su Jinzhi unable to get out of bed the day before Doris's arrival. He also sucked a large red hickey on his neck—the one that can't be blocked by a high-collar shirt So on the day Doris entered Black Swan Castle, only a bunch of senior servants and men went out to greet her.
Mond is a guest of Black Swan Castle, and Mary Jane is a fallen aristocrat who was bought into the castle as a slave. Neither of them is qualified to meet Doris. Su Jinzhi, because of Reeves's trouble, can only say that he is ill, so Reeves takes his servant to pick up Doris. But Reeves refused to move, saying he wanted to stay and "take care" of him, and refused to leave the bedroom.
Su Jinzhi also thinks about it. Reeves and him like each other. Doris is now a rival to Reeves. How can she let her target welcome the rival? Although it was rude to Doris to do so, he loved Reeves and could only be sorry for Doris.
So on the first day Doris entered Black Swan Castle, she was taken to the guest room by the servant without even seeing the owner of the castle.
It wasn't until the next day that the marks on Su Jinzhi's neck subsided a little before he saw his cousin at the dining table in the living room.
Doris is good-looking, with long honey-colored curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. She is wearing a dark blue velvet dress sitting in an armchair and wearing a wide-brimmed top hat of the same color with embroidered lace on her head. Holding a cup of black tea and drinking quietly, seeing him coming, immediately put down the cup and smiled sweetly at him: "Cousin Josh."
Su Jinzhi sat at the table and smiled at her: "Doris."
Doris is not as silent and reserved as the ordinary noble lady. On the contrary, she is very elegant and very angry. She told Su Jinzhi a lot of interesting stories during breakfast, and Su Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh with her.
There seems to be a magical power in her body, which can make people involuntarily get close to her.
After Su Jinzhi stayed with her for a while, he couldn't help but feel good about her, so after breakfast, Reeves became unhappy again, dragged him to the study and closed the door.
"Master Josh seems to like Miss Doris?" Reeves leaned over and stared into his eyes, and asked him word by word.
"No." Su Jinzhi quickly retorted, "I only love you."
Sure enough, Reeves' lips curled up after hearing what he said, and his voice was slightly softer: "But you talked and laughed with her all morning."
Su Jinzhi immediately answered, "Then I spend the rest of the day with you, OK?"
"You are always like this..." Reeves sighed, raised his hand and gently stroked his cheek, then lowered his head to kiss the corner of his mouth, "It can easily make me angry, and it can quickly make me happy."
Su Jinzhi's heart trembles, can't help holding his neck and raising his head to reach his lips.
Falling in love is really a magical thing. Sometimes you obviously don’t do anything, but you are approaching each other, hugging each other, and kissing each other. There is always a sweet feeling in your heart.
This kind of feeling makes people can't help indulging, and can't help but fall. Surrounded by this sweetness, is the valley of the invisible abyss. If you accidentally fall into it, you have to go through it if you want to get close. The sheep intestine path covered with thorns was bruised all over.
But even so, no one can resist its temptation.
It is like a sweet chronic poison. When you take the first sip, you know that you will die of it one day, but you will not regret it.
Since the first world, Number One has been warning him not to fall in love with the goal of salvation, and not to have too much emotional involvement with him, no matter hate or love. As long as the favorability value for him reaches one hundred, it means he was killed by him.
In the last world, Su Jinzhi already knew that as long as he let go of the valve of his emotional control, his condition would deteriorate rapidly and he would suffer from the pain for a long time. He knew all the consequences.
He was dying from the moment he fell in love with him, but he did not regret it.
Even if this relationship lasts for a very short time, he is willing to exchange it with what he has.
In the end, Su Jinzhi and Reeves were bored in the study for an afternoon, reading some magic books, or books that record strange things on the mainland, and they didn't go out until the evening dance began.
This dance party was specially prepared for Doris to welcome her. Although it was a dance party, it was actually just a small party.
But Doris has to be held in accordance with the specifications of the party. The wine should be the most mellow, and the fruits and vegetables should be the freshest. These things are in the remote and desolate Leeds Mountains. It is difficult to get without enough money. There is money in Josh Hillier, so it is not difficult for him. So when Doris made this request, Su Jinzhi quickly agreed.
There are not many people in the Black Swan Castle, but fortunately, those in the temple are also there these days, so they are also invited to the dance party.
As the owner of the castle, Su Jinzhi is the protagonist of this ball, so he has to dance with Doris at the beginning of the ball. This is a responsibility he can't shirk, and Reeves knows it.
He didn't stop Su Jinzhi, but pulled him to a dimly lit place and kissed him for a while before Su Jinzhi entered the dance floor.
Fortunately, he remembered that Su Jinzhi and others would be exposed to bright lights, so he didn't use much strength when sucking the boy's lips.
Su Jinzhi can dance ordinary ballroom dance, but the opening dance of the ball in this world is more complicated and difficult, so he greeted No.Zero early, and asked No.Zero to control his body to help finish the dance.
When dancing, the two people's bodies were very close, and Doris also changed into a low-cut light pink dress. Her breast weight was not small, and the white flowers were exposed outside, following her breathing. The movements between the dance steps and the movements fluctuate slightly.
Su Jinzhi didn't have the mood to admire the Great European School anymore. During the dance, he kept staring at her. He didn't dare to look around, because he knew that Reeves was staring at him.
"Zero, can you help me see, is Reeves still staring at me?" Su Jinzhi sighed quietly, feeling that he was doomed tonight, even if he had been well-behaved, he felt that Reeves Si Youhuan's fiery gaze almost burned a hole out of him, especially the arms he was holding Doris, it was the hardest hit area.
No.Zero glanced quickly and replied, "Yes, Master Overlord, the main goal of the rescue has never looked away from you."
Su Jinzhi's heart is suddenly sweet and sour. The sweetness is because Reeves cares about him so much. The sourness is because he feels a little sorry for Reeves. If the dancer at the moment is Reeves and other women, he will also Jealous.
Thinking like this, Number Zero suddenly added: "It's like Miss Mary Jane is watching him all the time."
Mary Jane has been staring at Reeves?
Su Jinzhi was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Number Zero was saying, and immediately turned his head to look at Mary Jane outside the dance floor subconsciously. Indeed, as No. 1 said, the girl in the goose-yellow fishtail skirt has been watching the tall man not far from her. The emotion in her eyes is no stranger to Su Jinzhi, because he often looks at Levi with this gaze. S-So Mary Jane likes Reeves? !
"She likes Reeves?" Su Jinzhi asked Number Zero in disbelief.
"Yes, Master Host." Zero quickly replied, "She has reached 80 for the total goal of rescue. Master Host, you must not be like her."
Su Jinzhi didn’t care what was said after Zero. He stared at Mary Jane for a while, and made sure that Mary Jane’s eyes were correct. Then he asked Zero: "Zero, do you know when Mary Jan likes it? Is it for Reeves?"
Reeves accompanies him as a whole, spinning around him. Where does the time come to contact Mary Jane? Did Reeves secretly do something unspeakable behind him?
Number Zero thought for a while, and explained to Su Jinzhi: "It should have been during the period when she first came to Black Swan Castle. At that time, Master Host, didn't you often ask Reeves to fetch Miss Mary Jane's blood for you? ?"
