[Devil Lover] Water Lotus

When Shen Yuelan woke up, she realized that she was leaning on the soft sofa, covered with a thin blanket, and beside her was the straight and upright Reiji Tomaki. During the performance, Shen Yuelan looked away, only to realize that it was the turn of the classic show of those beasts jumping through the fire hoop.

When she became interested, she sat up straight, Tomaki Reiji glanced at her, stretched out her hand to cover her blanket, Shen Yuelan nodded to him:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After Tomaki Reiji finished speaking, he and Shen Yuelan watched the performance below.

The circus in Moscow is indeed top-notch. The beasts are well-trained, no matter how difficult and dangerous the performance is, they can successfully complete the performance, but they don’t know if these beasts have been abused in private.Shen Yuelan's eyes suddenly darkened: she thought of the darkness and injustice in the world, and suddenly felt a little boring.In the final analysis, she is no different from these beasts. Just like the freedom of beasts imprisoned by shackles, doesn't she also live in invisible shackles, although she has changed from helplessness to obedience.

But it is not free after all.

"do not like?"

Reiji Somaki was paying attention to her expression all the time, and seeing her in a nonchalant state, he asked.

"Fortunately."

Shen Yuelan glanced at the back-roller who was watching the performance in the front right and looked excited, and said:

"This trip is finally not in vain, Master Zuoren is very happy."

"After all, it's to make him happy, and I've wronged you."

Nijuan Liansi said such a sentence for the first time, Shen Yuelan suddenly felt better when she heard it, she turned to look

Looking back at Reiji, his already fair face became even paler in the dimness, but he revealed a bit of temptation in a daze.

Shen Yuelan rolled her eyes unnaturally:

"I want to go out."

For the first time, she said it a little waywardly—seeing the animals below being manipulated and played by humans at will, she was always uneasy. She was originally a soft-hearted person who could not see the sad things in the world.

"I'll accompany you."

Reiji Tomaki stood up, stretched out his arms to her, and led her out of the box.

After leaving the circus, it happened to be afternoon tea time. As soon as the two got together, they found a nearby exquisite coffee shop to sit down and kill time.

After the dim sum on the classic three-tiered tray of Great Britain was brought up, along with the fragrant Earl Gray milk tea, Reiji Tomomaki observed Shen Yuelan's expression, confirmed that she was peaceful and even had a hint of joy, and then said:

"My father wants to see you."

"kindness?"

Shen Yuelan, who just took a small sandwich from the tray, was stunned. The handsome young master saw her and suddenly thought she was cute, so he coughed pretendingly, and then continued:

"Father wanted to know what it was like to be a woman who fascinated me."

"...Are you kidding me?"

Shen Yuelan took a bite of the sandwich slowly, and almost didn't tell the fact that she had met the other's father a long time ago, and it took a long time before she made a sound.

"I'm telling you this very seriously and seriously."

Reiji Tomaki was serious, Shen Yuelan knew that this was the other party's unquestionable attitude, she sighed, and finally decided to tell the truth:

"However, I'm not sure if I have the same affection for you."

She finished the sandwich, took another sip of milk tea, and noticed that the face of the person opposite was not looking good, so she decided to continue:

"Although I don't know what made you decide that you like me, even so much that you want to consider me as your partner,"

Shen Yuelan paused for a moment, her face flushed a little. After all, it was the first time she said such a thing. As a girl, such bold remarks really made people feel ashamed.

"But I still can't boldly say that my fear of you has disappeared. Sometimes, I still stand in awe of you, Reiji."

When she said this, she noticed Reiji's frowning expression, so she stopped talking, and Reiji was silent for a while, and finally said only one sentence:

"I see."

Then he never said another word.

Shen Yuelan's goal was achieved, and she didn't speak much anymore, but she still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden silence between the two of them.She didn't think about anything, but she felt a little bored inside.

On the return journey, in order to avoid embarrassment, Shen Yuelan chose to ride in the same car with Subaru Tomaki, so Reiji Tomaki sat with his elder brother.

Ni Juanxiu thought about the second brother's expression, which was not a good expression, after a long time, he recalled it, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes:

"Shen Yuelan rejected you?"

Reiji Tomaki gave him a serious look, but didn't speak.

"Let me guess...you proposed to her?"

His icy blue eyes were shining brightly, Reiji Tomaki took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and said:

"No, just tell her father wants to see her."

"Well, and she refused?"

Niimaki Xiu went on smoothly, and was glared at by Niimaki Reiji again, he smiled:

"Did I hit the mark?"

"...She told me she didn't know if she liked me or not."

After a while, Reiji Tomaki said these words lightly, then leaned on the back of the sofa, rubbing the sun with one hand

point, showing a rare fatigue.

Ni Juanxiu was secretly surprised: The second younger brother in his impression has always been a model of self-denial and courtesy, he attaches great importance to his image, and never lets himself be rude in front of others, even to his brothers, he is always well-dressed It was the first time he had seen the gentlemanly elegance and the tired state like this one.

He pondered for a while, and he probably knew the reason. In line with the brotherhood of a mother and compatriots, he said a word:

"It seems to me that she is not completely indifferent to you."

Toimaki Reiji suddenly looked at him sharply, and the young master Tomonaki raised his eyebrows, allowing him to look at him generously.

"She and you have almost the same hobbies, reading, playing chess, and enjoying the afternoon time. Moreover, she only listens carefully when she listens to you every time."

Nijuanxiu changed into a comfortable posture, and slowly expressed his observation conclusions.

"I remember that you have no experience in this area, Xiu, so I remain skeptical about this conclusion."

After hearing this, Reiji Tomaki's eyes calmed down, and then he returned to his usual tone and replied.

"How much you believe is up to you."

Reverse Scroll was noncommittal, and finally screened out his younger brother:

"However, if you slow down a bit, I estimate that you will be able to attend her wedding in three months' time, at the guest table."

"Reversal repair!"

The second young master became angry.

"Ha ha."

The young master just closed his eyes and meditated.

In another car, Subaru put down the game console in his hand, and said weakly to Shen Yuelan who had been in a daze for a quarter of an hour:

"If you're bored, just look at the scenery."

Don't stare at me all the time, it's uncomfortable.

He didn't say the second part of the sentence: the sofa arranged in this Bentley's private car is just right for people to talk face to face, so Shen Yuelan and Tomaki Subaru are facing each other, but because a certain girl's mind wanders as soon as she gets in the car In this state, Subaru Tomaki couldn't stand the empty sight even if he was playing the game all the time.

"what?"

Shen Yuelan returned to her senses in a daze, and seeing Subaru's frown tightly, she quickly apologized:

"Feel sorry……"

"kindness……"

Subaru put down the game console, looked at Shen Yuelan fixedly, and finally asked:

"What's going on between you and Reiji? Did he propose to you?"

I really don't know if this is a commonality among the brothers of the Tomaki family, the question asked by the Tomaki Subaru is exactly the same as the Tomaki Shu.

But Shen Yuelan turned pale with shock:

"of course not!"

For the first time, she showed such a flustered look, and waved her hands desperately:

"He just said your father wanted to see me."

"Oh."

Looking at her distraught look, Subaru Tomaki was speechless:

"Why are you so nervous?"

"No."

Shen Yuelan leaned back on the sofa relaxedly, like a tired cat.

"I was just thinking about how I felt about him."

That's what she said at last.After five seconds of silence, Subaru Tomaki suddenly said:

"You are a good match."

Although he was slightly critical of Reiji's behavior, he had to admit that Shen Yuelan and him were a perfect match.

"You don't know that you can still joke, Master Subaru."

Shen Yuelan looked at the silver-haired vampire with a strange look, Subaru Tomaki was impatient with her look, and continued to play the game console without looking at her face, while saying angrily:

"You basically go in and out together every day, it makes me sick of it!"

"That's not a reason."

"Tch, what other reason do you want? You only lose your temper with Reiji, and Reiji won't be really angry. Is this reason enough?"

When Subaru Tomaki finally said this, his eyes suddenly became sharper in an instant:

"Hey, you shouldn't have forgotten the nature of a vampire."

Shen Yuelan was silent.

Silence pervaded the carriage, and after a long time, Shen Yuelan sighed with some fear:

"You're right, I suddenly feel lucky to be alive."

No matter how gentleman Reiji Tomaki is, he is still a ruthless vampire in his bones, and she has thrown his temper at him more than five or six times during this period.

Did she let her guard down?Or did she relax her guard against Reiji Somaki?

Shen Yuelan once again fell into a state of emptiness. This time, Tojuan Subaru simply closed his eyes and went to sleep instead of looking at her.

The author has something to say: here is VV, who is overwhelmed by heavy schoolwork,

The Reiji line has already been opened, well, although it is about marriage from the beginning, but VV draws on the habits of the British nobles in the 89s and [-]th century, and they will get married first before talking about feelings. . .

I hope everyone can get used to this conservative feeling. . . .
