dream tour

A [-]-year-old boy said with a deadpan expression, "When a man has money, he turns bad", you can't help it!

Dorian Gray's face twitched. "Who taught you that?"

"No one, it's just my conclusion based on what I saw with my own eyes."

Can anyone tell him what scene this child saw to have this kind of "witness"?

Dorian Gray was still struggling with what he saw with his own eyes, and Ellis continued: "As for why I remind you so much, I just don't want to see a pure person degenerate in this corrupt environment."

"Thank you, I will pay attention to it." Dorian Gray said with a complicated look, pursing his lips.

Ellis turned around and said, "You're welcome, you walked the road yourself, you are no longer that kid living in the country, please go on strong, don't lose yourself, and don't make mistakes under the slander of others." Something to regret."

Seeing the expressionless little boy say such admonitions to himself, Dorian Gray's mood was very complicated, and the originally confused road seemed to be illuminated by a light.Even though he is still confused many times, he will deeply remember that on the day he came to London, there was someone who really treated him well.

A few days later, in a small auditorium, Dorian Gray sat in front of the piano, flexibly changing his fingers to play a deep and beautiful piano sound, and the aristocrats in the audience appreciated it with great interest, especially the ladies. The performance of the beautiful young man, I can't wait to pick up the whole person.

After the performance, the ladies introduced the famous artist Basil Howard to Dorian Gray one after another.

After making a friendly acquaintance with him, Basil invited Dorian Gray to his studio, and he would paint a portrait of this rare and beautiful boy, and Dorian Gray readily accepted.

On this day, because of the smooth performance of the show, Ellis was also at Gray's house, and his adoptive father Victor planned to celebrate Dorian Gray for a while.

After returning home, Dorian Gray looked very happy. He went back to his room and called Ellis.Apparently, Dorian Gray trusted Ellis more than his housekeeper Victor. With a pure smile, he said excitedly: "My performance went well! Everyone likes me very much. He also introduced the most talented and individual artist here. Meet me, his name is Basil Howard, do you know Ellis?"

"I know, he's a nice guy. Although he's a bit flirtatious, the flirtatiousness doesn't imply obscenity. I think he admires you very much and expressed his willingness to paint a portrait for you, right?"

"You guessed it right!" Dorian Gray was surprised. "To be honest, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were not as mischievous as an ordinary ten-year-old child, but rather mature and calm."

Ellis was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not that I guessed it right, but I'm a little familiar with him. He even drew a portrait for me. Do you want to see it?"

"Huh? What kind of painting is it? I'm curious about what this artist, who is considered to be a very powerful artist, can do." Dorian Gray made no secret of his curiosity.

"Next time you can come to where I live, and I'll show you."

"Speaking of where you live, do you usually live with Victor, Ellis?" asked Dorian Gray.

Ellis shook his head: "No, I don't live with my father, I live in my own house."

"You live alone at such a young age?!" Dorian Gray, naive as he was, was not yet naive enough to think that a ten-year-old would be safe in a big house, "It's too bad Yes! If you can, you can move here."

Hearing this, Ellis showed a faint smile: "I live with my uncle, so there is no need to worry about my safety."

"You still have an uncle? I've never heard you talk about it." Dorian Gray couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. After all, he had already regarded Ellis as his friend in the past few days.

"It's nothing, it's nothing special, is it? Never mind." Ellis saw Dorian Gray's depression. "My uncle is a nice man. His name is Richart."

"The name sounds good." Dorian Gray didn't know what to say, so he said something casually.

"However, my uncle and I have completely different personalities. He is very cheerful and generous. Although he is often confused, he is often reliable at critical moments." Ellis gradually put the topic aside, "It's you, it's better not to participate in any reunion."

"Why?" Hearing the word "party", Dorian Gray showed a look of interest.

Ellis: "Because now that you are like this, you will definitely obey those people, and you won't have any resistance. You can't even tell right from wrong."

Dorian Gray smiled bitterly: "Is that why you don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe in you, but that your methods are weaker than mine... Forget it, you don't seem to have any great skills, except for being played by those men, especially men like Lord Henry Wharton. middle."

"I've heard you say this man many times, and you seem to dislike him." Dorian Gray was really curious why Ellis, who always looked so steady, could dislike a man so much.

Ellis glanced at Dorian Gray and said, "He's a hedonist. He stays with a group of trash who only know how to squander their wealth, wasting his time and overdrawing his life."

Having said that, Ellis changed his voice: "You know about cigarettes, right?"

"Of course, many people like to smoke."

"So you like it?" Ellis asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't smell good, it smells bad," Dorian Gray said honestly.

Ellis explained: "You can't accept a stranger's cigarette, remember, never."

"why?"

Ellis frowned, and his lovely face was full of disgust: "Sometimes, they will mix addictive drugs in it, sometimes it will be aphrodisiac. You are so good-looking, it is easy to attract Some people with ulterior motives want to get on you—if that’s all it is, they may have some kind of disease themselves, and things like sexual/disease are often contagious.”

Dorian Gray touched his nose in embarrassment: "Eris, you know too many things you shouldn't know."

"It's nothing. In this rotten society, it's hard to meet a good person. It's better to stay on guard than to be hurt."

Dorian Gray frowned slightly: "You are indeed right."

"You are too unsuspecting, I suggest you to learn martial arts and equestrianism with me for a while, you will also meet many famous people in the equestrian arena, those people are better than those who linger in the wind/moon place. "

"Okay then." Dorian Gray also felt that he didn't know too many people, so he simply wanted to make friends. It would be better to go with Ellis - although Ellis is a child, but this child has the power that even he has. No young master temperament.

It was a calm demeanor as if reading a book on the table in the afternoon, which was very attractive.

But the current Dorian Gray actually has some literary and artistic temperament, but it is all blessed by a beautiful face.

Temperament is something that makes people feel special even if you wear a mask to disfigure your face, so it is considered temperament.

☆、Portrait of Dorian Gray III

Dorian Gray seemed to be deeply infatuated with the sport after his return from riding.

"It's such a joy. I've never been so happy when I was a child... The feeling of galloping on a horse is so good! When I was a child in the countryside, I actually envied those children who rode horses, but unfortunately this was not allowed." Thinking of my own As a child, Dorian Gray said with some regret.

Ellis smiled lightly. He liked martial arts and other sports very much. Seeing that Dorian Gray had the same hobbies as his own, his tone was gentler: "You like equestrianism, very good."

"Ah! By the way, I have to go to Basil's studio tomorrow. The painting is not finished yet, so I have to continue to be a model. Do you want to come and see it? By the way, can you ask Basil to draw one for you?" said Lin Gray suggested enthusiastically.

Ellis didn't nod or shake his head, the silence puzzled Dorian Gray: "What's the matter? Why don't you speak?"

"I was just wondering, would my sudden visit be bad?" Ellis said. After all, although he knew Basir, he hadn't seen him for a long time. Strictly speaking, he could be called Basir. He said "uncle", after all, his father knew him before his death, and they were considered friends, and Basil also attended his father's funeral.

But after not seeing each other for many years, it was still a little rusty after all.

"No, I heard that your father was friends with Basil before?" Dorian Gray said with concern.

"Yes... did you listen to him?"

Dorian Gray said with a smile: "Yes, Basil said that you used to be lively and obedient, calling him 'uncle' all day..."

Realizing that this was when Ellis' father was still alive, Dorian Gray silently shut up for fear of poking into Ellis' pain point.

"That's right, I haven't visited him for a long time. After all, he is also my elder, so it's unreasonable."

Dorian Gray thought: It's a good thing Ellis doesn't look sad because of this, really have to pay attention to what he says in the future!

The next day, Ellis went to Howard's studio with a basket of pastries and Dorian Gray, and the door was opened by an elegant lady.

"Aunt Victoria, long time no see."

"Huh? Isn't this Ellis? In a blink of an eye, you are a big boy... Hello, Mr. Gray, please come in." Victoria welcomed the two into the door and made a cup of black tea herself.

Dorian Gray went to the studio, while Ellis chatted with Victoria.

Seeing Eris, who was sitting upright and perfect, with an indifferent and elegant demeanor, Victoria sighed deeply in her heart: "Is the black tea delicious?"

"It's delicious. Thank you for the black tea. Forgive me for coming without warning. This time, it is also thanks to Mr. Gray that I remembered that I haven't visited the elders for a long time."

Victoria felt as much in her heart as Alice did, and said softly, "You live with your Uncle Richard now?"

"Yes." Ellis took a sip of the black tea, put the cup down slowly, and there was a half-sound, his every move was a model of etiquette, "Uncle Richart and you can meet occasionally, after all, the decorations in the house are all He bought it slowly."

"He always looks like this." Victoria chuckled lightly.

Time passed, and it wasn't until laughter came from the stairs that Ellis turned his head and found that Dorian Gray was having a happy conversation with Lord Henry Wharton, frowning slightly.

"It's been so long before I know it, and I have to go back with Mr. Gray, and I'll come to visit again someday." Ellis replied politely, without any hint of displeasure at all.

Victoria gently hugged Ellis: "Lovely child, you are welcome to come and play anytime."

"I will."

Ellis walked up to Dorian Gray and nodded slightly to Lord Henry Wharton: "Your Majesty, Lord Henry Wharton."

Henry Wharton saw that he was a child, behaved generously, and had begun to show his aristocratic temperament, so he replied: "Your safety, my child."

Ellis didn't say much, just pulled Dorian Gray's sleeve lightly: "Dorian, we have to go back."

This behavior seemed to be full of dependence on his brother, so Henry Wharton had no choice but to give up the conversation with Dorian Gray: "Mr. Green, you should play with this lovely child well now."

"Um... I think so too." The corners of Dorian Gray's mouth twitched slightly, but fortunately Ellis squeezed Dorian Gray's hand hard, so he didn't let himself show a strange expression, "Then goodbye. "

In the carriage, Ellis said without changing his expression: "What did he say just now? You look so happy."

"Eh..." Dorian Gray scratched his face, "He praised me for being good-looking..."

"In other words, he said a lot of compliments." Ellis chuckled, "In fact, of course you are very good-looking. Although other people didn't say it, it's just that they think that you are a self-aware person. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything."

"Ah..." Dorian Gray was dumbfounded.

Ellis shook his head lightly: "As expected, I was right, you were pinched to death. Now you look like a ball of lamps lit with hot oil."

"Am I really... that pretty?" Dorian Gray hesitated.

Ellis generously admitted: "Of course, you are better than you think, so you can be presented in the beautiful painting. In fact, you are much better than you think, but it's a pity that after so many years in the country, you Not only did he develop a low self-esteem, but he was also prone to vacillation.”

Dorian Gray blushed a little at what Ellis said.

"Aristocrats are always like this. Their conversation skills are actually simpler than you think, but you just lack of learning." Ellis smiled lightly: "I deeply found that you need more systematic guidance, starting today , except for your home, horse farm and studio, you'd better not go out."

"Huh...?" Dorian Graymond was at a loss.

Under his horrified eyes, Ellis showed a smile as bright as the sun, pure and flawless like an angel bathing in happiness: "I will teach you what to say and what to do. What can be done, what to do You can say; what you can't do, what you can't say... In short, your words and deeds must be recognized by me as qualified!"

"Why, why?" Dorian Gray stuttered in fright.

"Just a little rhetoric can make you happy, just like now, look at my sitting posture." Ellis gestured to Dorian Gray to express his feelings with his eyes.

"... very correct, very perfect, very noble." Dorian Gray praised sincerely.

"Do you know what you are like when I am serious?" Ellis grinned at the corner of his mouth, smiling like that indifferent child, "cowardly, it seems difficult to become a master."

"Crack!" Seeing the wooden stick that Ellis took out from nowhere and slammed it heavily on the seat beside him (the two were sitting facing each other), Dorian Gray seemed to see the malice condensed into substance.

"Actually, dear Mr. Dorian, compared to martial arts, you are still not enough. Don't look at me, I can only reach your chest...but I can hit ten of you." Ellis said very sincerely , not kidding at all!

Dorian Gray: Help, help...!

The author has something to say: fgo, who has been living for a day today, has been brushing the boss with 600 million blood, it feels so cool!

☆、Portrait of Dorian Gray IV

"Jealousy will overwhelm a person's mind, and let him destroy you..." When Ellis said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, his smile deepened, and his expression seemed relaxed and natural. Dorian Gray felt the coldness hidden in it.

Ellis swept a glass to the ground, pointed to a pile of debris on the ground and said, "Mr. Dorian, you should never expect a man who is jealous of you to turn around and make friends with you - that would be as if you picked He picked up the glass shards on the ground and wanted to drink tea, but not only did he not drink the tea, but he also got scars all over his body."

Dorian Gray: "But Ellis, how do you know he's jealous of me?"

"Oh~" Ellis glanced at Dorian Gray mockingly, "You are too naive, a person who will say behind your back that you are sick, would like you? You are dreaming."

"He, he really said that?" Dorian Gray stared in disbelief, unable to imagine that Henry Wharton, who was still mild and amiable in front of him, looked down on him secretly.

Of course, Eris learned of this by accident, from Victoria's mouth.

"Why did I lie to you?" Ellis' face suddenly sank.

Dorian Graylian said: "Yes, I'm sorry, I really didn't doubt you. It's just...it's incredible."

Ellis clapped his hands: "There are so many incredible things. For example, a certain fool would say to his portrait that he sold his soul to the devil. Of course, if you have eternal youth, you would think What are you going to do? Have fun?"

"Uh..." Dorian Gray scratched his nose, "I don't know..."

"Look, indulging in momentary happiness may make you feel happy, but you are more emptiness when you are alone." Ellis shook his head, "In fact, the last time you went to the Henry Wharton What do you think of the banquet? Is it easy to smoke?"

"It's choking," said Dorian Gray truthfully. "I don't think I'll ever smoke again."

"Excessive smoking can cause people to get sick. If you stay in the place where other people smoke, it will also cause great damage to your lungs. You can see the people in those fireworks places. People who go in and out of such places generally look sick. said Ellis.

Dorian Gray: "Actually, I've always been curious, how did you know about that place? You're just a kid, aren't you?"

Ellis had no expression on his face: "There is a theater there, and my uncle and I occasionally go to see a play."

"Oh." Dorian Gray blinked. "How about a snack?"

"No need, I'm not hungry yet. But the time for the etiquette class is coming up today, and the etiquette teacher is coming, so go get ready. I'll come with you and see how much you've improved during this time—" —but you do look better."

Dorian Gray was praised, a little happy and a little sad: "That teacher is very strict! If I fail in one place, I will start all over again. I must make everything perfect."

"Etiquette is like this. Only when you do more standard, others can't say anything to you." Ellis nodded, admiring the etiquette teacher's education method.

"But--"

"But what? Did he spank your palm? Or did he spank your ass? It's not good for such a big man who can't even suffer a little bit." Ellis said with a straight face and earnestly.

Dorian Gray genuinely felt that Ellis was sometimes more of an elder than his own.

The etiquette teacher Bronte Scott is wearing an orthodox suit and has a mustache. The number of steps seems to be calculated each time. Ellis has been sitting upright and watching Dorian Gray being fucked/practiced. The etiquette teacher Occasionally spanking his ass with a cane...

Before leaving, he also said: "Even a child is much better than you."

It turned out that Mr. Blount had already noticed Ellis, who had a perfect sitting posture and a qualified tea-drinking posture.Looking at his students again, he immediately felt disgusted.

Dorian Gray is so miserable that he can't tell!

But fortunately, because of Ellis' warning, Dorian Gray didn't go to those messy banquets afterwards, and his behavior and etiquette were corrected little by little, making people unable to tell mistakes gradually, and even his mind seemed to be mature. few.

Basil's portrait has also been perfectly completed, and this portrait, which has attracted almost all the ladies in New York, is hung in the hall.

Due to the success of the art exhibition, Dorian Gray has become a handsome man who is popular in New York.

On this day, when Dorian Gray finished the etiquette course, Mr. Blount expressed approval: "You have graduated from me, and I will not continue to teach you after today."

The hard etiquette class ended at once, and Dorian Gray said happily and reluctantly: "Thank you so much these days."

"Haha, I only came to teach you because of that kid's relationship. After all, he said that you are a rough stone. As long as you carve it properly, you can become the most shining star." Blount said with a rare laugh.

Unexpectedly, he still had such an image in Ellis' heart. Dorian Gray was in a complicated mood, but he was more relieved.

Finally, he was not looked down upon by this child.

On the same day, Dorian Gray invited Ellis to his home as a guest. When pouring tea, the proper curvature of the mouth and the movements of the hands were made by Dorian Gray, which has a natural charm.

"You look great." Ellis couldn't help but smile. It was rare not to see that kind of bright smile that implied a cold glow, and Dorian Gray readily accepted it.

"It's the best to be neither humble nor overbearing, and don't be anxious." Ellis said lightly, tilting his head slightly, with a face like a puppet of an angel - it lost its warmth but was very delicate.

Dorian Gray saw that Ellis's mood suddenly became depressed, and he couldn't help asking with concern: "Is something wrong?"

"That's not the case." Ellis sighed wearily. "Recently, my uncle suddenly fell ill. I checked his diet carefully and found that there were indeed traces of poison in it."

"Poison!?" Dorian Gray was so excited by the word that his hair stood on end, and he lowered his voice, "Why is it poison?"

Ellis took a sip of the black tea: "Uncle is in business, he may have posed a threat to the other party...the plant poison was still used, but I could smell the smell instead."

"You know poison?" Dorian Gray asked in surprise. Ordinary people, even nobles, wouldn't know this kind of thing.

"The black witchcraft from a book." Ellis chuckled, "I bought it from a second-hand bookstore, I just wanted to read it casually before, and I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect it to be used by me. "

……stunned.

"Why is there such a book, and you want to 'just' read it?!"

Ellis waved his hand: "I like to read, and I usually read a lot of books. To be honest, although I am many years younger than you, I read as much as you do. It is not enough to have etiquette in place. I will do it for you tomorrow. Recommend a few books, you need to read them within a few days."

"Wait!" Why did he have to start reading again after the etiquette class!Dorian Gray was frustrated, "But reading a few books in a few days is too exaggerated..."

Ellis: "But what are you going to do when you don't read, don't go to class, don't go to parties that waste time?"

"This..." Dorian Gray thought about it, and it seemed to be true.

Because of Ellis' relationship, he was tired of those chaotic noble gatherings, everyone was wearing a hypocritical human skin, they would say something about you in front of you, but they said something else behind their backs, which made Dao Lin Gray couldn't hold back, after all, the person closest to him was the child Ellis.

So much so that the current Dorian Gray is very noble in the eyes of outsiders, and he is also a rare good man.

"I think you are more like a child than me." Ellis endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it, and decided to express his impression of Dorian Gray in his mind.

Crit again!

Dorian Gray was silent.

The author has something to say: I am still addicted to FGO today... orz

☆、Portrait of Dorian Gray [-]

"Are you really leaving New York and going to the countryside?" Dorian Gray looked at Ellis reluctantly. To be honest, the people he knew best in New York were Ellis, the housekeeper Victor, and the painter Basil.

Ellis shook his head helplessly: "The return date is uncertain. Even if I find out the reason, there is no way to heal it, and I can't find anyone to heal it... I have already told my adoptive father that I will leave tomorrow. I am here to say goodbye to you. .”

Dorian Gray also drooped his eyes in disappointment when he heard the words, but he also came back from the countryside. Thinking of the prosperity of New York, he felt sad, but he hated the depravity and decay under the prosperity...

Ellis couldn't tell Dorian Gray to give up his present life and go to the country, after all they were just good friends, weren't they?

How many people who have seen the prosperity of New York can abandon the prosperity in front of them?

Ellis looked at the silent Dorian Gray, said "goodbye" to him, and left without looking back.

Back in his own house, Ellis stared at the haggard man in front of him. Only his facial features could tell him how handsome he was before.

It's unbelievable, but in just a few days, a tall and handsome man will become this lingering appearance on the sick bed.

Ellis clenched his fist tightly, if he knew who it was...!

"Eris, have you said goodbye to your friends?" Richart's weak voice came, and Eris squeezed out a seemingly relaxed smile.

"We have already said goodbye."

"Hey..." Richart, who was lying on the bed, sighed deeply, "It's your uncle who has troubled you. You are still a child, how can you go to the countryside to take care of your uncle..."

Sitting by the window, Ellis held Richart's hand, those broad, warm palms were like a cold stone at this moment, and he tried to pass the temperature on his hand to the other party: "It's okay, I Talked to my adoptive father, he will help us look after the house."

"Your adoptive father is still the housekeeper of Gray's family... He must be very busy at ordinary times. I'm really embarrassed that we bother him so much!" Richart felt powerless because of his physical condition.

"Why bother, you are Ellis' uncle, and I am his father, we are all a family." At this moment, Victor entered the room.

Victor is a good friend of Ellis' father, and of course Richart's. In recent days, Victor has not even done the housework so diligently in Gray's house. The reason is naturally that he is worried about Richart's safety.

"It's not troublesome. Good friends just want to help each other when they are in trouble. Besides, how many years have we known each other?" Victor took off his black hat and sat down on the chair beside Richart's bed. "You don't have to worry about Ellis's character. Don't you, an adult, always be taken care of by a child?"

Richart couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth just grinned, and he coughed hoarsely: "Ahem..."

Victor hurriedly saw the water on the bed cabinet handed over, and when Richat was relieved, he said: "We are old friends anyway, don't let anyone who can help you, you can stay in the country to recuperate, come back Then we had a drink to celebrate."

"Good! Good! Drink and celebrate."

After chatting for a long time, Richart was tired and fell asleep on the pillow.

The two quietly walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Eris, are you sure you can cure Richart's illness in the countryside?"

Ellis nodded, turning his head slightly, so that Victor could not see the coldness in his eyes: "The doctors in New York City said that there is no cure, and they have used all kinds of medicine, but uncle is still getting weaker every day. Go down. And my uncle has a severe cough, the air in the countryside is always better than New York, and I will take care of the food and daily life personally...Father, has the house in the country been tidied up?"

Maybe Richart didn't like the depravity of New York. He spent a lot of money to buy a farm in the countryside, but he didn't expect that the reason why he moved there for the first time was because of his own health problems.

"Okay, I sent someone to repair it in a short period of time, and it is now clean."

"Thank you, father." Eris smiled gently, and after sending Victor away, he began to pack his luggage.

Daily necessities, clothing, belongings... It's actually not a lot, but Ellis still packed two boxes.

The next day.

Ellis stood at the train station, with the slightly hazy New York sky behind him, and Ellis let out a deep breath.

"New York, maybe never again."

Supporting Richat, Eric had already stepped onto the train with one foot, and Victor and the Basil couple stood together to see them off.

Ellis was a little disappointed, after all, he still didn't see Dorian Gray.

But just after Eric stepped into the car, a familiar voice shouted into his ears.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

It turned out that Dorian Gray ran over carrying a large suitcase that looked heavy, and looked profusely sweating.

The train was about to leave, and Dorian Gray rushed into the carriage and stopped quickly.

"Victor, the Gray family entrusts you!"

Dorian Gray waved his hand, smiling brightly and heartlessly. He was vaguely still the boy with low self-esteem and cowardice, but the beautiful boy back then became even more dazzling after regaining his confidence.

Ellis was silent for a while, and Dorian Gray couldn't help waving his hand in front of him: "We have to go to our seats, the train is about to leave."

Eric moved his lips: "...how did you come here?"

"It's nothing, I just think the city is too complicated, or is the country more suitable for me?" Dorian Gray shrugged, "Look, I even brought the portrait painted by Basil, and I plan to live long. "

"How can you be sure we're not going back?" Ellis asked back.

"I can guess from your reaction, I'm smarter than you think." Dorian Gray laughed, "You don't know, at first maybe I enjoyed being looked at with fiery eyes, which made me feel that I was The only light in the world... But gradually, I noticed the maliciousness in those people's eyes... The feeling of wanting to take off all my clothes and expose my whole body naked really disgusted me ? So I simply go out less and less.”

The train was about to start, and Ellis helped Richat to the sleeping berth, where his sick uncle rested, and then he found that Dorian Gray's seat was only two cars away from them, not far away.

After the conductor checked the ticket, Ellis and Dorian Gray stood in front of the berth he had booked.

"It's unbelievable. Are you going to sit in the chair until tomorrow afternoon?" Ellis couldn't help taking a breath. "I think you'll be so sore that you won't be able to get out of bed all day."

"I can't help it. It's too late to book a ticket." Dorian Gray said, "I found out from the housekeeper where you are going, so I rushed over here."

"Why? Are you sure you want to live longer?" Ellis said with a frown.

"Yeah." Dorian Gray said frankly, "It would be nice to travel to New York once in a while. Actually, I don't like where I live now. It reminds me of bad memories..."

"My mother died shortly after I was born. My grandfather thought it was my fault. When I was young, I was often locked up in the small attic... The scars on my body were produced at that time..."

After listening to Dorian Gray's words, Ellis couldn't help but lightly "huh": "But I don't remember any scars on your body? Yes, I'm sure I read it right."

Dorian Gray said in disbelief: "Impossible, you must have read it wrong, those intertwined scars have been with me for ten years!"

"Really not!" Ellis shook his head. "When we arrive at the destination, there should be a mirror there, and you will believe what I say."

"I don't believe you..."

Ellis gave a rare chuckle: "You just can't believe it. Don't worry, I won't say anything more after you've chased me here."

Now, he really recognized Dorian Gray and regarded him as his friend.

After experiencing the baptism of prosperity, Dorian Gray still maintains his youthful innocence. I have to say that no matter who sees him, he will have a feeling of pity.

The author has something to say: It will be 30 tomorrow...Sorry, I had a day of eating, drinking and having fun, and I started coding orz immediately after I got home, so it was too late

☆、Portrait of Dorian Gray VI

The so-called farm in the countryside is a very remote and spacious place. If you want to go shopping and live, you may have to drive for half a day. Of course, there are no neighbors or anything.

Corn, wheat and other crops are planted on the farm, as well as cattle and sheep, but in fact, the houses where people live are not big. If the granary for storing grain and the houses for keeping cattle and sheep are removed, it is not a spacious house. It's just a small rural building with two floors, but it's more sturdy and warm.

After entering the house, I found that the inside was very clean. There were herbs and other things hanging by the window, and an old but solid wooden table stood beside an old but solid wooden table.
