[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Caroline walked to the sofa and sat down in a panic, so she didn't see the red face of the man behind her who was rarely seen in 27 years. It's also hard to spot in such light.

He opened and closed his five fingers repeatedly, and finally strode to follow without changing his expression.

Caroline noticed that he was approaching, and immediately shrank back, occupying only a small corner of the sofa, but Darcy had lost the courage to sit on the same sofa with her. In fact, if Caroline was tougher now If you lose your temper once, Mr. Darcy won't be able to release his skills on CD...

It's a pity that Caroline is a fake Queen Fan, and his previous move completely frightened her.

She is timid and cares about face-saving and likes round surface skills. She is very afraid that the husband in front of her will make a big move such as "I will hug you" by surprise. It was entirely because he retreated and retreated before that it fueled her arrogance. , let her have the illusion that she is a domineering...cough!

In short, the atmosphere is very harmonious at this time.

"Do you...would you like champagne?" This was Mr. Darcy standing beside him like a waiter.

"Okay, okay..." This was Miss Caroline who felt like she was spending money in a high-end restaurant.

So Mr. Darcy stepped up and prepared to go to the buffet counter to get a drink. Before leaving, he suddenly frowned and turned his face: "Since you are wearing high heels today, don't run around anymore."

The implication is, don't let me look for you everywhere, otherwise...

Caroline, who had finished making up her mind, really wanted to show him the throwing knife, but she didn't dare.But she really wanted to grab his shirt collar and yell all her entangled anger onto his face: why on earth did you behave like this, you tell me clearly!In the plot, after falling in love with Elizabeth, he immediately proposes once or twice, and when he gets to her, he dares to come to her with the ambiguous trick of "I will hug you". Is there such a big difference!

Caroline didn't know it at all, all this was because she once said that no matter what she did, she would not like Mr. Darcy.So unless she immediately holds her heart in her hands, her eyes and even her body language say "Mr.After all, there is no such thing as falling in love in this era. A man asks to marry his lifelong partner. Isn't it too shocking and desperate to be rejected?Especially since she is such a tangled girl!

But in fact, Caroline is now [-]% confident in the side that Mr. Darcy likes her. After all, all his actions can't make her continue to deceive herself.But he refused to say it, so while he was holding back a small fire, there was also a sweetness fermenting that became more and more intense. This feeling is really... sour and refreshing.

So women still like men who are occasionally strong, they are a kind of creatures who love to say no, but if men really don't want it, then the end will be miserable...

This is actually a manifestation of insecurity. Even when facing the most intimate person, women will always say what they say and try to figure it out with words. At this time, it is best for men to express all their feelings in the most direct way, which is the most effective. Straight to the heart.

Mr. Darcy took two glasses of cider, recommended by the kind Charlotte and Elizabeth, who had just passed the self-service area.Darcy was a little surprised to find that the people of Meriton seemed to be more friendly to him, so when he met many gentlemen who had visited Netherfield before, they would briefly introduce their family members.

So it was a bit late when he returned, and Caroline was no longer there. Darcy glanced around and soon saw her on the dance floor.Now she is playing a very cheerful dance music. Her dance partner is a young man who looks very young. He is also dressed in the same way as everyone else, but he has a young face and a tall figure. When he looks at people, he is very focused and sincere.

He has been talking to Caroline, with a mixed smile of shyness and bravery on his face. Caroline was not interested at first, and it seemed that she was just being polite when she said a word. Later, in the middle of the hour, she finally Was amused by the other party.

Darcy felt that he hadn't seen her sincere smile for a long time. Her clear eyes were dotted with shining lights, and her brows and eyes were stretched, which made people want to smile knowingly.

After the dance was over, her partner escorted her back to her original position. When Caroline saw Darcy, the conversation she was having with great interest stopped for a while.

"Mr. Darcy, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Fred Holt."

Darcy held out his hand to the other party calmly.

The young man looked even more childish when he got closer. He was like her peers beside Caroline. You must know that Caroline always looked three or four years younger than her actual age.

"I'm just a nobody...you can call me by my first name, Mr. Darcy."

"You shouldn't underestimate yourself, Mr. Holt, every seed has a chance to grow into a towering tree, as long as he can take root in the soil." Caroline smiled and said: "I think compared with other people of the same age, You are very mature and smart, and you are still young, if you can find the right direction, you will go to success."

Mr. Holt Jr. looked a little moved, because he was from an ordinary family and was not the eldest son with only a small amount of inheritance. In the eyes of many people, he was already a failure from birth, and few people would be so sure of himself.He bowed to Caroline and said sincerely, "Thank you for your encouragement, Miss Bingley."

"It seems that I can't think of other words to praise you except this sentence, because the compliments I can think of are too superficial. But I will try my best to find the direction you said..." Then he laughed, bringing Looking at the solemnity different from his age, he glanced at Mr. Darcy and said, "But now I have to excuse you, and I hope to see you at Meriton's ball in the future."

Perhaps because he was aware of the disparity in identity, the young man looked at her with relief and regret, so it seemed that his admiration was very sincere and earnest.

Since when did Caroline gradually become the object of attention of men?

After the other party left, Darcy handed the wine glass to Caroline, and said in a low voice: "It seems inappropriate for you to say that, because before many seeds are planted, the land he can take root is dry and desolate. Why send such a hopeless What about encouragement?"

"Flowers can bloom even in the desert, Mr. Darcy." Caroline immediately said: "Besides, this will definitely be an increasingly fair world. Family background and starting point can never represent everything, and this is full of motivation." Young people are the hope of the future, aren't they?"

"Your idea is very bold, miss, and very dangerous!" Darcy whispered, staring at her bright eyes when she was outspoken.

Caroline immediately turned her eyes away by drinking, "This wine is good, Mr. Darcy, and it is very special. It seems that I have never drank it anywhere else. Did you choose it?"

Not intending to pursue her behavior of avoiding the topic, Darcy replied graciously: "No, I wouldn't have noticed such an unremarkable wine if it wasn't introduced by a local. In fact, this is Miss Bennett and Lu Recommended by Miss Cass."

"Oh..." The sweet and mellow taste of the fruit wine suddenly seemed sour and astringent. Caroline swallowed it with difficulty, and then handed the glass to the passing waiter.

"I'm still not very good at drinking..." She moved the corners of her lips, explained something, and then urged him to return to the dance floor: "I don't find it boring, in fact, the people in Meridon are very interesting, I am very happy I would like to have more contact with them. And Sir Lucas is very enthusiastic, he will introduce some worthy partners to me, so you don’t need to stay here at all.”

"I……"

"Oh, I saw that Miss Jane from the Bennet family is there. I hope you don't mind if I excuse you for a moment." Caroline saw Jane approaching alone, she immediately nodded to Mr. Darcy, and then went up to meet her.

There was some surprise in Jane's gentle eyes, but more joy, she is also a person who likes to make friends.

Caroline has always had a good impression of her, especially for a long time before, she regarded Jane as her future sister-in-law, so she got closer.The two found a corner with few people. Through the conversation, Caroline's previous thoughts of using her as a shield gradually disappeared. When Charles came to her and said that he was going to leave, they could be regarded as having a good conversation.

She found that Jane's English accent was very similar to the accent of most people in London's upper class. When Caroline curiously asked the reason, Jane also explained very generously and naturally that it was because Sir Lucas specially hired a teacher to teach the authentic mainstream An accent tutor to teach her daughter, and Charlotte is also willing to help Jane and Elizabeth improve together.

But in the Bennett family, only Jane and Elizabeth have different accents, and everyone else seems to feel that there is no need to change themselves.

Indeed, just like the comments I heard before, there seems to be nothing negative or bad in Jane's eyes, which makes her look kind and gentle, and her smile is also contagious, full of positive energy.

Caroline liked her very much. When she left, she noticed that Charles didn't express any unnecessary emotions to Jane, so she conservatively said that if she had the opportunity, she would invite her to Netherfield as a guest, because Caroline was still a little worried about that ghost. The lingering Wickham will appear in the Herfordshire instance. If so, she hopes to remind Jane earlier to restrain her sister to avoid tragedy.

When the three returned to Netherfield, it seemed that only Mr. Darcy was in a bad mood.

Charles expressed understanding: "Thank you, dear brother, there were seven dances tonight! I will say more good things to Cynthia for you."

Ha, can you summon the dragon?

Seeing that Mr. Darcy's mood became darker, Caroline decisively greeted him in advance.

She went to Louisa's room immediately, and the light was still on. She knocked on the door lightly, and when she opened it, she saw Mr. Hurst whispering to herself.The husband and wife lived in a suite with a bedroom inside, Louisa was already asleep, and Mr. Hurst was reading in the small study outside.

Caroline glanced at the sleeping face of her pregnant woman through the crack of the door, and then retreated with peace of mind.

In order not to disturb Luisa, the rest of the people's rooms were all arranged on the second floor. She held the shawl and the hem of the skirt and walked down with her head down, so focused that she deliberately silenced the sound of her footsteps.When approaching the second floor, a person suddenly walked out of the shadows in front of her. Caroline was startled. fall from above.

The gentleman who didn't want to be the culprit at all moved very quickly, almost like an instinctive reaction, he strode forward and caught her.

"I, I'm sorry, although I didn't intend to scare you, I just want to say good night..." Darcy explained incoherently, and he anxiously asked with heat on his back: "Is there any injury?"

Caroline just felt like she had hit a wall, and then there were chains as thick as her arms bound her, and her face was buried in his chest, almost suffocating.

"Open my net..."

Because he didn't hear clearly, Mr. Darcy, who had a tendency to get closer and closer: "What's wrong?"

"Let go first, I'm suffocating!" Caroline's voice finally shook his heart, and he let go of his hand belatedly. Mr. Darcy, who hadn't thought that he might be too hard, was a little embarrassed. Caroline Pushed him, and when he stepped back, his foot fell to the ground with a sharp pain.

Someone who observed her expression carefully asked immediately, "Did you twist your foot?" Before he could finish asking, he knelt down on one knee with super power, and then found that Caroline's skirt was too long. Unable to see anything clearly, he raised his head innocently and asked, "Which foot?"

Caroline said that she was going to be stunned... What is this situation?Why is kneeling so natural, and who did he learn it from!

Mr. Meikong, who was testing the water temperature and was about to take a hot bath, shivered, and poured half a pot of boiling water again to be satisfied.

"It's not twisted." She reluctantly took a half step back, but found that the gentleman who squatted down still gave a strong sense of oppression frowned in displeasure.

Caroline had a very ominous premonition in her heart.

"Although it's a bit impolite, I think I will be forgiven for my behavior in the face of a lady who doesn't take her own safety seriously." He stretched out his hand very decisively, and directly pinched Caroline's waist through the hem of the skirt. ankle.

"Hiss..." That hand was really blunt, she couldn't hold back her breath.

"The right foot." Mr. Darcy made his diagnosis very calmly, and then he said without changing his face: "Did you take the initiative to let me have a look, or did you decide to continue to make unnecessary resistance?"

Caroline's hairs were about to stand on end, but after a pause of just two seconds, Mr. Darcy actually lifted her foot directly, put the high heels on the ground, and touched Caroline's sprain with skillful gestures, carefully I pinched and moved my joints again.

"It's just a little swollen, but it should be more serious tomorrow... That's why I said that you should never wear high heels in the future. The people who designed these shoes are too nonsense, and they didn't think about the safety and comfort that the shoes themselves should have. .”

He was filled with solemn righteous indignation, and Caroline's cold ankle fell into his hot palm, which was an unrivaled torture.

"What are you doing, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy!" She couldn't bear it and scolded in a low voice: "Although I sprained my foot accidentally, and this matter has nothing to do with you, you can call the maid for me Come on, you can even call a doctor, he is on call at any time in the guest room on the first floor... Why did you do such a thing? As a British native in the nineteenth century, what kind of trouble is he suddenly so unrestrained!"

Mr. Darcy, who was a little unnatural when he heard the first half, was confused by her concluding remarks: "What native... Caroline, is this a new type of satire?"

"That's not the point!"

Caroline freed her foot from his hands and stepped directly on the ground: "If you don't have a good explanation, then if you do any overstepping behavior in the future, I have full authority to express my disapproval on behalf of another member of the Bingley family." Welcome!"

Looking at her flushed face, Darcy couldn't tell whether it was anger or embarrassment. For a moment, he felt that he was being bewitched and almost impulsively about to reveal all his thoughts.But her words were so harsh, it was hard for Darcy to tell, if he said that he was in love with her under such circumstances, would it be considered an overstepping the norm...

Georgiana also suggested to herself, don't be in a hurry, approach her slowly to touch her, until you find yourself in her eyes, and then confess, so that you won't be self-defeating.

Although he felt that he had reached the limit of his patience, he was even more afraid of getting a sad answer.

Caroline's eyes darkened.

For a moment, she almost thought that he was about to say something that would make her abandon all her worries. She was not even afraid of his confession that was so straightforward that it could anger Elizabeth, but unfortunately, he still didn't say it in the end.

"Good night, Mr. Darcy, as you said, my injury is not serious, so please let me go back to my room by myself."

Caroline turned around and walked away stubbornly with one step up and one step down from her back. She looked distressed and distressed. Darcy held her shoes and hesitated whether to catch up and put them on for her, but she stopped and took them off. He took off the other shoe, and walked back to the room as if he was not injured at all.
