"You didn't come back last night."

Doge was sitting on the sofa in the attic room. The posture with his legs raised and the armrest made him look like a "husband-controller".

Ye Qimeng, who had just opened the door to the room, was so frightened by his angry look that she froze in place before she could take a step into the room, like a guilty ghost who had his pigtails pulled.

"Uh...I'm at Morning Star." She was ready to find any excuse to fool him.

"Xia Chenxing came back with Dunn last night." Obviously this poor reason did not confuse his clear thinking.

Judging from Dogo's tired eyes, he must have been waiting all night.

"I came back with Leia, and then went to Chenxing's place to spend the night." Ye Qimeng said as he was dying.

"Really?" Dao Ge's eyes were like sharp knives pointed directly at her heart, making all her lies invisible.

After looking at each other for a long time, Ye Qimeng finally admitted that he had spent a difficult night in Knight's room.

***

When Boyd saw her appearance, there was not much emotion on his face, but his slightly messy blond hair exposed his bestial nature.

Sure enough, as Knight said, these talented "old Hawks" are all a group of hypocrites. Boyd who was at the banquet just now may have already been depressed.

He quietly hid the hand holding the belt behind his back, used his other free hand to swipe a handful of sweat-stained hair from his forehead, and restored his original meticulous hairstyle with a big back.

Boyd is taller than Knight, but much stronger than Knight. The flesh on his face was tight, but his cheeks were somewhat sunken, making him look like a villain.

In fact, he should be a villain.

Ye Qimeng thought.

Facing such a powerful guy, she didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, because she knew that Boyd didn't dare to touch her, a celebrity who "stole the limelight" in school.

At least she won't be touched in the territory of the Hawke family, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the student union.

Boyd pulled up his pure black suit jacket, walked up to her, cleared his throat and said, "It seems you want to help me teach Nate."

After saying that, as they passed each other, he patted her shoulder, as if he had solemnly handed over a difficult task to her, and left the slightly eerie and dark room.

Only Ye Qimeng, who was standing at the door at a loss, and Nate, whose back was turned to her, were left.

The scarlet scars on the clear spine were clearly displayed in front of her eyes, making it impossible for her to ignore this problem.

"Uh...can you return the necklace to me?" She walked up to him and stretched out her hand calmly behind his back: "I think I have done you a big favor."

Didn't Knight call her here just to show her the unknown side of the Hawke family?

As expected, Knight slowly turned around.

In front of her, he picked up the white shirt that was thrown on the chair aside and slowly put it on.

He turned his back to the cold light shining in from the window, so she could only roughly see his thin facial contours and high bridge of nose, but she could not know the changes in his facial expressions.

But her intuition told her that Knight's eyes never left hers.

She waited silently for him to button up his shirt one by one and stand upright in front of her, as polite and proud as when they first met.

She sighed softly and complained in her heart: This guy seems to be unable to understand human speech. Do I need to emphasize my purpose again?

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Knight somehow conjured up the necklace that belonged to her and handed it to her, as if he had the ability to read her mind.

"Thank you..." She wanted to take the necklace, but he took it back early: "Are you kidding me?"

She was a little angry, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Stay with me for one night and I'll give it back to you." Knight's tone was emotionless, but his words were a little frivolous.

"Then I don't want it anymore. Goodbye." Ye Qimeng didn't accept his words, then turned around and prepared to leave the gloomy Hawke family mansion.

She really didn't want to stay in this miserable place for a moment longer.

"Are you sure you don't regret it? My dear...Miss White..." Knight seemed threatening: "I think we have met somewhere before."

This respectful title almost made her sprain her feet due to lack of concentration. She quickly lowered her voice and refused: "Ahem, don't call me this name."

He must have seen the photo in the pendant. Although Ye Qimeng has not met Duke White and his wife in person, members of the rival Hawke family must know them and the daughter who is rumored to be fostering in the countryside.

"Why do you want to hide your identity?" Knight asked without hesitation: "I didn't expect you to be able to transform."

"I think you heard about what happened on the day of the funeral. I don't want to go crazy again."

She remembered what Ella had said about the time "she" in this world suddenly ran out of the church. Members of the Hawke family were also present at the time, including Knight, the young master of the Earl's family.

"I just didn't expect you to be alive."

Suddenly, he bent down and came close to the broken hair on her cheek, giving her an unexpected warm hug. Like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, he hugged her back tightly.

"Um...can you return the necklace to me?"

This inexplicable hug made Ye Qimeng feel that Knight actually had no ill intentions, but that he didn't understand what happened before.

"Let's go after I fall asleep." Knight raised his head and held her shoulders, his eyes softening a bit when he looked at her.

His eye sockets were somewhat sunken, and there were uncoverable blue eye circles under his long golden eyelashes. It looked like he hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, and the sapphire blue irises were covered with red bloodshot eyes.

He pushed the necklace into her hand without putting down her palm, as if he was silently begging her to stay.

This made her unable to refuse, and she replied in a strange way: "Okay."

At that moment, a child-like smile appeared on Knight's face, and until he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Qimeng felt sleepy, but her willpower kept her awake, so she sat on the edge of Nate's bed all night.

It wasn't until the early morning light shone into the window sill that she silently pulled away Knight's hand that was holding her tightly and left the Hawke family mansion, which was still air-conditioned.

After she explained the situation at that time, Dao Ge's expression was complex that she had never seen before. His gray-blue eyes were mostly covered by thick platinum eyelashes, as if he was trying his best to restrain the emotions that were about to burst out from his heart. mood.

Standing in front of him, Ye Qimeng vaguely felt a chill down his spine, and it seemed that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped a lot.

In order to break the deadlock, she took advantage of Dao Ge's attention and stepped over to sit on the armrest of the sofa. She put one hand around Dao Ge's strong neck, which made him feel at a loss.

"If it weren't for getting back this necklace, I wouldn't want to stay in the Hawke family's mansion any longer." She used her other hand to take out the only relic left by the Duke and Duchess of White from her coat pocket, hanging it on Dogo's return Showed in front of angry gray eyes.

The necklace woven with golden chains and black satin ribbons swayed in the air. At the bottom of the necklace was a metal pendant that was still as new as ever, shining brightly under the firelight of the fireplace next to the sofa.

The pendant had complex patterns, perhaps ancient guardian runes, perhaps the symbol of the White family, which reminded her of the fire-warmed cabin and the steaming dinner on her first day in this world.

"Then again, I never took it off..." she murmured.

This necklace seemed to have its own unique charm. Dao Ge's brows were no longer as furrowed as when he first entered the door. Instead, he had a much more relaxed look on his brows and stretched out his slender fingers, gently opening the extremely delicate pendant.

A small miniature painting leaked out, showing two familiar and unfamiliar faces. They both have blue eyes and delicate faces given by the gods. Even from such a small portrait, the dazzling luster on their skin can be clearly seen. .

"I..." Dao Ge seemed to have lost his mind at this time, and his tone became gentler, muttering: "I remember them..."

"They are the original owners of the zoo." Ye Qimeng thought that Dao Ge had been looking at the door for more than a hundred years, and he should have met the Duke and Duchess of White. It was reasonable to know them.

"They took care of me for a while when I was a child, and then sent me to the zoo..." Dogo slowly recalled.

Today, Doug seemed to be particularly talkative, but he did not continue to pursue her stay at the Hawke's mansion. Instead, he told her about the memories of the Duke and Duchess of White and the previous time at the zoo.

The previous zoo seemed to be particularly prosperous, with various animals from the human world to the Elf Continent. Although it did not receive any tourists, the puppet Chilaner still took good care of the animals in the human world. Occasionally, the Royal Physician Davis They also come to treat injured animals.

Perhaps because of the close distance, she could feel the emotional changes in Doge's breathing.

But his eyes kept staring at the pendant in his palm, never looking at her, as if he could avoid the topic of her.

"Don't stay overnight at Hawke's house next time." Dao Ge suddenly turned his head and looked at her extremely seriously and said.

"...Yeah." Although she didn't like Dao Ge's commanding tone, she still agreed to his request because of her guilty conscience.

"I will keep this from now on." He put the necklace around his neck and warned, "Stay away from that violent guy Boyd."

Ye Qimeng moved her face closer, looked carefully into Dao Ge's gray-blue eyes, smiled and joked: "You are caring about me, puppy, hehe." She even rubbed his messy head lovingly. platinum hair.

Dao Ge's expression was obviously startled, but he still said aggrieved and dissatisfied: "I'm not a puppy."

"Okay, big dog, give me a hug =w=" She buried her face between his shoulders and neck, took a deep breath, and felt the sunshine radiating from his body.

Turning her head to the side and seeing his earlobes that instantly turned red with embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile secretly.
