Today, Sheen wore a beige shirt, a light yellow vest, and brown pants.

He stretched lazily and walked out of the room.

Not far away, I saw Bonnie who had just gone out. It seemed that she had recovered.

"Good morning, Sheen." Bonnie responded enthusiastically.

Today, Bonnie wore a plain long dress with orange texture. Her beautiful long red curly hair was tied up behind her head. She looked like a good girl.

"Good morning, Miss."

Sheen rubbed his eyes and greeted Bonnie who came out of her room.

The two were silent for a while.

Bonnie shook her head like a rattle:

"You call me 'Miss'...it sounds a bit uncomfortable."

Sheen was confused.

"So what do you want me to call you?"

"Call me sister."

Bonnie looked at Sheen expectantly.

Sheen couldn't help but hiccup:

"Hiccup (purely nervous)."

Then he looked at Bonnie stupidly, with a look that said "Are you sure?"

"Is this the Bonnie from the novel 'I want Xiren to be my little brother'??"

The brother and sister were walking down the stairs.

"I was serious."

Bonnie snorted coldly with her hands behind her back.

“I gave Xi Lun so many things, but he didn’t remember any of them.

"Unlike you, I just did a small thing and you knew to buy me something to thank me, and that thing actually saved my life."

"Now that I think about it,"

Bonnie lowered her head and sighed.

"Why did I choose such an ungrateful person as my brother?"

In fact, Sheen really wanted to say, "It's not your fault, because you were brainwashed by Alex."

But think about it, it doesn't seem necessary.

……

Looking at Bonnie's expectant expression, Sheen said firmly:

"not called."

Well...

Bonnie's heart felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over it.

But she still comforted Xien.

Or to comfort yourself:

"You've only been here for a short time, and you won't accept it if I suddenly force you to call me so affectionately."

Xien wanted to roll his eyes inwardly:

The main thing is that you broke up with Xilun and then wanted to recognize me as your brother.

I really called you sister, Xi Lun won't eat me after knowing that?!

Moreover, he will soon leave the Duke's Mansion to go to the Magic Tower for further studies, so it is better not to play such emotional cards in front of Haines and others.

……

The two of them separated slightly as they walked along the corridor through the single-person path.

Sean deliberately let Bonnie walk in front, but soon Bonnie slowed down and walked next to Sean.

Looks like Bonnie has something to say.

"In order to completely give up all hope in Xi Lun, I will never go to Rufus's house again." Bonnie muttered.

In this situation, Sheen really wants to create a background music for Bonnie:

Heartbroken, the real heartbrokenness is not about making a scene, the real disappointment is not about crying... (quote from a certain pun)

(The self-congratulation in my mind ends)

"Really? But Xi Lun has been living in the Duke's Mansion during this period."

Sean put his hands in his pockets and did not forget to remind Bonnie.

Luckily, Xi Lun wasn't there...

"what?"

Bonnie looked around.

"But why haven't I seen him for a while?"

The brother and sister turned a corner and came to the marble staircase, and walked down slowly one after the other.

"I heard from his servants that Xilun was not feeling well and was resting in his room during this period,"

Sheen answered nonchalantly,

"Think of his healing powers. I think he was irritated by what I said."

Sheen's words were spoken in a dark corridor, not during trial time.

But it was obvious that Bonnie had misunderstood.

"Drink,"

Bonnie couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"If you can't even bear this little bit of grievance, how can you inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future?"

Xien's eyes were full of watching a show:

This guy changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Grand Duchess Haines, Second Master Haines is here—"

Not long after, the brother and sister arrived at the restaurant, sat in their respective seats, and watched the maids place the carefully prepared breakfast on the table.

Everyone’s different:

Sheen had a chicken breast, carrot and cucumber wrap today, a portion of cut dragon fruit, and a strawberry milkshake.

"Finally, there is something acceptable."

Sheen felt like vomiting when he thought about the blue cheese he had eaten a while ago.

Bonnie had a vegetable salad, yogurt with oatmeal, and a piece of bread today.

Two steamed baguettes and a cup of coffee were placed on the Duke's seat.

The chef prepares it right in front of them:

He cut the baguette into slices and spread condensed milk and cheese neatly on the sandwich.

Place lettuce, bacon and tomato slices on top, then pick up a piece of baguette and layer it on top, then garnish with caviar.

Sheen was made hungry by this operation.

But thinking that he would have time to eat it later, he did not dare to ask the Duke for it.

(Not necessary)

Ok?

Sheen looked upstairs a few times:

"Xi Lun isn't here? It's almost time for dinner."

One of the main principles of the Haines family is punctuality - you should understand this unspoken rule when you see the clock tower installed inside the Duke's Mansion.

"Do you still think about him?"

The Duke came last.

After he sat down, he closed his eyes, took a sip of the coffee, and then slowly put it down:

“After you scolded Xi Lun that day, I really thought about your words all night.

"What you said does make sense. I can't let Xilun go on like this."

Sheen carefully cut the burrito into slices, not paying any attention to the Duke's chatter:

If you had realized this earlier, the book would have ended.

(Conclusion: Impossible)

Seeing that Sheen didn't respond, the Duke added:

"Alas, the current situation does not allow me to break up directly like this, otherwise the forces supporting him will cause trouble for me."

The Duke's additional words made Sheen feel that "this is the Duke."

The Game of Mediation summarizes in one sentence why the Duke still has feelings for Siren:

"There is not enough evidence to prove that Xiren is not qualified to inherit the Haines family, or that Xiren has committed a crime that deprives him of his inheritance rights.

The Duke will not kick Xiren out directly."

This is Duke Haines.

Bonnie said "hmm" perfunctorily next to Sheen. She had completely adapted to this lifestyle.

Sheen secretly congratulated himself on not completely letting his guard down, and just continued cutting the burrito while the Duke spoke.

(You talk yours, I eat mine)

Sheen (the novel reader) expressed his position with a cold attitude:

Anyway, this is the usual attitude of Haynes and others.

Bonnie lowered her head and scooped up the cereal with a spoon, while asking:

"Then why didn't Xilun come down? I just found out that Xilun lives here."

"Maybe he doesn't want to see people scolding him. This kid is really too arrogant, just like his father."

The Duke hummed and prepared to eat, but he did not stop mumbling.

"I wish I could see him when I announced the penalty, otherwise I would think he was guilty."

When Sheen heard what the Duke said, he almost burst out laughing.

(Hold on, hold on)

"That's it,"

Bonnie's attitude towards such things is much colder than before.

"Xi Lun has been eating in the room. Can your body bear it?"

The tone was full of perfunctory.
