In the bedroom.

In order to set off before dark, Mia is packing her luggage. Looking at the beautiful room, she felt a little reluctant to leave.

I haven’t even lived here for a few days yet…

She touched the small lily-of-the-valley-shaped oil lamp on the bedside table and sighed.

squeak-

Dio opened the door and came in naturally, as if he was entering his own room.

Looking at Mia's gloomy expression and the oil lamp in her hand, Dio asked doubtfully: "You don't like it?"

The lily of the valley is carefully crafted by craftsmen and is lifelike. The firelight shines through its translucent white glass, reflecting a layer of golden light, like a flower spreading its petals in midsummer.

"No." Mia shook her head, picked up the oil lamp and looked at it carefully, "It's very cute, and it looks a little familiar..."

"So you never noticed?" Dio frowned, and the shock of seeing the peerless idiot flashed across his face.

"What did you find?" Mia was a little confused.

Dio stopped talking for a while and explained helplessly: "This room and the swing in the garden, don't you think you've seen it somewhere before?"

Mia thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I do feel this way, but..."

Dio rolled his eyes: "Didn't you have a dream before? A dream about a sudden fortune coming from the sky, and then we throw away Dario and buy a new house with our mother."

Dream……

Lightning flashed in her mind, and Mia remembered the happy dream she had a few years ago.

"Dior, thank you~" Mia's eyes lit up with little stars, Mia looked around, looked at the bedroom again, and said with emotion, "It would be great if mom was here..."

Recalling his mother's gentle expression, Dio stiffly curled his lips: "Death is death. For her, leaving this world is considered a kind of happiness."

His mother is the kindest person he has ever met. Even if he encounters an injured stray dog ​​on the roadside, he will stop and try to bandage its wound.

Perhaps it was because of this kindness that the mother did not abandon his unusual son.

But it was this kindness that prevented her from adapting to life in the slums.

Before her death, his mother held his hand and told him to be a "good person."

I don't know where the strength came from in those skinny hands, but it hurt to hold him. He nodded in agreement, and his mother closed her eyes in relief.

but……

In that moment, he understood.

Kindness is the most useless thing.

Loot by any means necessary and win.

This is the path he chose for himself.

"Mia."

Dio raised his eyes and stared into her warm green eyes.

"I didn't abide by my mother's last wish. Do you blame me?"

Mia looked surprised: "Why should I blame you? This world is either stepped on by others, or stepped on by others. As long as you win in the end, good or evil will not matter."

"I thought you……"

I thought you were just tolerating it out of family affection.

Dio couldn't say the rest of the words, turned his head and looked out the window. The sky in London was as gloomy as ever, and the soot from the factories shrouded the earth, making it difficult for people to lift their heads.

"The lily of the valley flowers for the oil lamp are handmade, right? We are not doing a serious business. A lily of the valley may be a life."

Mia walked up to Dio, stood on tiptoes, and stroked his blond hair.

"But it doesn't matter. You gave it to me. It's very beautiful and I like it very much."

Perhaps the hand on top of his head was too warm, so Dio couldn't help but bend down so that she could touch him more easily.

After chatting, Mia started to pack her things.

Dior has been having trouble lately and bought her a lot of things. Mia likes them all, but there are so many problems that she worries that her family will go bankrupt. She stuffed them for a long time and found that she couldn't take them all away, so she pursed her lips and took away the ones she liked the most.

The side of Yaodao is in the countryside and there is no shopping mall. Dio shouldn't buy anything for her anymore, right? Mia was worried about her family's financial problems and couldn't help but sigh.

A few hours later, everything was packed away.

When Mia left, she took the small suitcase with her.

Noticing the familiar box, Dio peeked several times and then looked away.

Johnny didn't know anything. He just thought he was going on a trip. He was carrying a small brown schoolbag and gritting his teeth in a silly way. After receiving Dio's order, the five maids called "Master Johnny", took the family pets, and surrounded him into the carriage.

Looking at Johnny's red face, Mia touched her chin: "This boy is very lucky."

"Stop looking." Dio lowered his face and pulled Mia into another carriage.

In the carriage, the slight shaking made Mia a little sleepy. She shamelessly ignored Dio's death gaze and rested her head on his lap.

Drowsiness spread and Mia closed her eyes.

In a daze, something seemed to be wandering on her face, as if a paintbrush were painting her facial features.

When he was about to fall asleep, Dio's cold voice came from above his head.

"Mia, please marry me."
