Quick Wear: I'm bound to the love strategy system
Chapter 157 The Noble Mad Duke * The Speculative Girl (15)
The ladder beneath April's feet was steady, but her heart began to flutter.
Strahl was holding a book with a black cover, her eyelashes curled, and her eyes were looking at the words on the cover.
April pulled out the spine of the book, bringing in more light, and Strahl looked forward.
Seeing April through the narrow gap, there was pure admiration in her honey-colored eyes.
Without any other desire, just looking, stupidly.
Strahl's hands were long and slender, covering the words on the book cover. His palms were narrow and the skin on the back of his hands was so tight that blue veins could be seen.
April didn't know what to say, so she hugged the huge picture album to her chest and even breathed lightly.
Strahl greeted April, "Ms. Shara, nice to meet you."
He always smiled when he spoke, with the corners of his lips elegantly angled. In the sea of books, his arrogance was obscured by the fragrance of books.
April wanted to salute him, but her feet were still on the ladder and the height of the two steps restricted her movements.
She could only nod like Strahl and greet him in a ladylike tone.
"Mr. Blanchett, good afternoon. Nice to meet you."
She didn't know how to proceed with this conversation and could only hope that Strahl would take the initiative to say goodbye.
But Stral seemed to see through April's intention to escape, and the smile in his eyes deepened, which was not what she wanted.
"Ms. Shara, are you here to look for a book to read as well?"
April complained silently in her heart, what's this nonsense, what are you doing in the library if not reading, is it flirting?
But she replied with a proper smile: "Yes, I heard there are many manuscripts of masters."
Strahl didn't look at the book in April's arms, but at the area between her eyebrows.
This angle gave his eyes a natural arrogance, but the smile on his face showed his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Miss Shara, what are you looking for? I have some impression of the books here. I hope they can be of help to you."
April hugged the book tightly in her arms, struggling to resist the temptation from Strahl.
"It's a great honor, but I've found it, and if there's an opportunity next time, I'd love to."
After hearing what April said, he put the book away without any regrets.
He extended an invitation to April.
"Ms. Shara, I have also found the books I need. Do you want to come with me?"
April couldn't help wanting to agree, but after slapping herself in the heart, she finally said no.
"The atmosphere here is great. I think I'll continue reading here for a while before leaving. I may not have the honor to travel with you again."
Even after being rejected twice by April, the smile on his face did not change at all.
After the casual invitation was rejected, he left naturally.
April carefully climbed down the ladder and watched Strahl's back as he left.
His hair did not sway, his steps were steady, and his back was straight.
April held her heart and felt it beating violently.
Her pink cheeks were flushed. If Strahl had left a minute later, April would have been exposed.
She leaned against the bookshelf and calmed herself down.
She didn't want to admit that she was superficial, but it turned out that she seemed to be such a superficial person.
At this moment, she particularly hoped that Duke Blanchett was a commoner.
This way she could make him her lover after she became Viscountess.
Or maybe he doesn't mind his lover being someone else's wife, in which case she doesn't mind being his lover either.
How could Father God bear to let such a beautiful person come down from the crystal heaven?
April sat on a chair in the library and opened the huge collection of manuscripts, but her eyes never stayed on it for a moment.
Her mind was still preoccupied by Strahl, who had only appeared for less than three minutes.
April didn't see the master's manuscript, but she thought she knew what she should draw.
Strahl became her inspiration.
But when he picked up the paintbrush, Strahl could never get the color of his eyes right.
The colors in his eyes are so gorgeous that one has to crush the gems to get 70% of their colors.
After April estimated the value of the gem in her mind, she gave up without hesitation.
She had not seen Strahl many times, but every time Strahl appeared, April always looked at him very seriously.
The person she wanted to draw was not in front of her, but April did not hesitate at all when she started drawing.
This beautiful person has disturbed her dreams for too long.
In her painting, Strahl sits by a stream, wearing a white robe, his long hair, like the morning light, hanging down into the water.
A laurel tree in full bloom was beside him, but he did not look at the tree. Instead, he looked at himself in the water.
There was no decoration on him, just pure beauty.
After April finished painting, she looked at her painting and felt that this painting had exhausted all her life's talent.
She knew that the painting must not be seen by others, so she asked the maid to put it at the door when she came to deliver food.
April admired the people in the painting at sunset and made up her mind.
Once the painting was dry, she would make sure to hide it away and not take it out again until she left Blanchett House.
It is really rude to secretly paint a gentleman into your painting.
Her mind told her that such a painting that was infused with so much love should be destroyed, but her emotions told her otherwise.
She couldn't do it, she couldn't resist Strahl's beauty.
His face was more beautiful than Narcissus's, but his authority was more dazzling than the sun.
After a few days of panic, April returned to her normal state of mind.
While teaching, he gradually forgot his obsession with Strahl.
She has a firm goal in mind.
She wanted to teach Miss Blanchett how to play the bamboo flute as quickly as possible and then leave Blanchett Manor.
Blanchett had many tutors, and her arrival did not convince them.
But fortunately, she has a sweet smile, which always makes people like her.
She also hinted during the conversation that she would not stay at Blanchett Manor for long.
Miss Blanchett was very easy to get along with, she liked April very much and gave her many gifts.
April looked at the brooch Miss Blanchett gave her, a daisy made of pink crystal.
It was so beautiful that no jewelry could compare to it.
She carefully kept the things Miss Blanchett gave her and only wore them occasionally when she was teaching.
April looked for the headband outside the Wisteria Garden many times, but unfortunately.
All the flowers in the wisteria garden have withered, and April has not been found yet.
That invaluable headband became a mystery in April's heart.
But she soon put the matter completely out of her mind.
Because there's going to be a ball at Blanchett Manor.
