West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

The blood, drop by drop, fell on the ground, flowed over the skin, stained the corners of the clothes red, and gathered patches of bright red silhouettes under the light.

In this small bar, the original bustling noise has receded, peeling off into a suffocating silence.Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere, glasses were broken all over the floor, and people's attention was all focused on the brown-haired boy in front of the bar, watching him hold his bleeding arm tightly, frowning, and remained silent.

"Are you ok?"

Leaning closer to West, he asked with some concern.Lancelot slowly helped him lay the injured arm flat on the bar, and then looked around, as if looking for something to temporarily stop the bleeding.

"I am fine."

Answering in a low voice, indicating to his companions not to worry, West didn't even look at his miserable arm, so he wasn't trying to be brave.After all, he had been injured too many times that were more serious than this, and it was just a little bit more blood. He really shouldn't, and there's no need to make a fuss too much.

However, some people don't think so.

"Put this on him and don't move."

Turning around, he tore off the tie around his neck and threw it to Lance.Merlin's voice sounded calm, even a little gentle, but anyone who knew him well knew that the archmage was completely pissed off now.

Together with Arthur and Gao Wen, they confronted several tall strangers in front of them.He glanced at the bloody wound on West's arm, and his heart was so angry that he wanted to desperately use magic to throw these culprits into the Thames.

10 minutes ago.

When Merlin's mood was unstable, and he was about to smash his head with West, a sharp scolding sound instantly brought his reason back.Looking back, I saw a few drunk people looking for trouble, surrounding a girl to strike up a conversation, and their actions became more and more indiscreet, even faintly obsessive.

——A very common scene in bars.

This matter should have nothing to do with them, but it can't stand the chivalry that Arthur and the others still maintain even after reincarnation.Soon, Gao Wen, who couldn't see the girl being bullied the most, put down his wine glass and walked over. He couldn't persuade him with good words, but lit up the anger of both parties while pushing and shoving, and would fight if there was any disagreement.

Now, it was impossible for Merlin and West to sit down in peace.

Going forward to stop Gao Wen who was about to throw a punch, while Merlin patted Arthur, who was clenching his knuckles. In fact, the Hermit didn't want to watch them fight from the bottom of his heart.After all, it is impossible for him to reveal his ability in public. Although he is not afraid of anything, he would not feel so happy if someone pointed his nose at the monster and called him a monster.Therefore, he winked at the mage and asked him to appease the passionate young men of the Knights, while he took two steps forward, intending to communicate with the other party, but don't do anything if he can speak well.

result.

Before he could say a word, a wine bottle was thrown directly in the face.

Drunk people have no reason to talk about, and West felt that he really shouldn't forget this.Coupled with the fact that he couldn't dodge in time, and didn't dare to reveal his identity, he had no choice but to raise his arms to protect his head, and took this rather powerful blow. The broken glass shards were embedded in the flesh, although it was not a serious problem, but It really hurts him.

Lord Hermit was stunned on the spot.

——Now, who can bear it?

Rubbing between his brows, Arthur stepped forward with an ugly expression as if he had swallowed a fly.

There was a dark light flowing in his eyes, and even his light-colored pupils seemed to be stained with a layer of coldness.Merlin pulled the young man who was frowning in pain, and stuffed it behind him, a sharp arc gradually formed at the corner of his mouth.

He is really mild-tempered and doesn't want to argue with others.

However, this does not mean that he will remain indifferent when he is stepped on the bottom line.

"Get lost, and never let me see you again!"

After all, he used to be the famous knight of the round table in Great Britain. Even if he didn't remember anything after his reincarnation, the fighting skills of the knights still amazed West.Soon, contemptuously looking down at the opponent who could only grunt on the ground, Gao Wen pressed his knuckles with disdain, drawing a perfect end to this farce in the bar.

Withdrawing the magic secretly cast by his fingertips, and the golden light in his eyes gradually faded, the archmage snorted coldly, as if he was deeply dissatisfied with these guys being so careless.

——I still like to trip up others behind their backs, Merlin.

Shaking his head helplessly, no matter how concealed the mage did it, he couldn't escape West's eyes.The memories of the time in Camelot were involuntarily recalled, and thinking of their current situation, the boy could only smile wryly.

"How's your arm?" Instead of going to clean up the mess with Arthur and the others, he turned around and sat beside him with a frown. Merlin's face was still unhappy: "I'll send you to the hospital for bandaging right away."

"No, I'm not going to the hospital."

As a mutant, he is rather special. Unless he has to, he will not take the initiative to go to that kind of public medical place to avoid the leakage of biological information.

So, without even thinking about it, West opened his mouth and choked Merlin who was about to pull him up.

"Just let me go home, I can handle it myself when I get home."

"The broken glass in your wound hasn't been cleaned up yet, how do you deal with it yourself?"

The brows were almost twisted into a flower, and the mage gave him a disapproving look, as if he was thinking about whether he should ask Percival to carry this guy who might be drunk directly, "Follow me to the hospital, go now .”

"Do not."

However, unexpectedly, West, who was always very talkative in front of Merlin, bit his tongue to death on this point.No matter how much he coerced and lured him, he insisted on going back by himself.Fearing that his wounds would suffer if he froze for a long time, Arthur couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly pulled away the mage who was about to punch Lord Hermit's handsome face, and offered a compromise suggestion.

"Isn't Gaius at home?" The former King of Camelot sighed.Although he didn't want to care about the affairs of these two enemies at all, he really couldn't turn a blind eye: "Since West doesn't want to go to the hospital, he can only ask his private doctor to bandage him... I don't think he should Mind if you bring someone back so late?"

This is indeed a good way.

However, Arthur has never noticed that upon hearing Gaius' name, both Merlin's and West's expressions became a little subtle.

Since Gao Wen and the others still had to stay here to compensate the boss for the loss, they couldn't leave for a while, so Merlin took the wounded back to the apartment alone.On the way, West learned intermittently from the mage that Gaius in this life still loved his medical career and became a doctor in a private clinic, while Merlin stayed at his home while studying in Oxford.Hearing this, the young man couldn't help feeling the magic of fate. Even if he was reincarnated for a thousand years and forgot the past, he could still reproduce everything in the past with such a realistic attitude.

Perhaps, Arthur, Merlin, the Knights, and even Gaius, they are an inseparable whole, no matter how many years have passed, they will not be separated.He was thinking so quietly, stepping on the dim yellow shadow of the street lamp, just a flicker, and disappeared under the dazzling starry sky.

And he was just a complete intruder from beginning to end.If it wasn't for the time-space dislocation accident, he and them would have been strangers who had nothing to do with them. One was as lively and bright as ever, and the other was still ups and downs in deep-rooted hatred.

"arrive."

The hoarse voices of the people around him returned to his sanity.West looked up, and was surprised to find that Gaius's house was actually only one street away from his own residence, but because their backs were facing each other, he and Merlin would go to class along different streets every day, so they haven't met each other until now. things happen.

...So, have they always been destined to each other?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he shook off all these thoughts.West watched Merlin take a few steps forward and knocked on the door. He clenched his fingers a little awkwardly, and suddenly felt a rare tension.

In fact, he was glad to see him again.

The doctor who treats him sincerely and wholeheartedly treats him as his own child.

"come in."

With a sound of 'squeak', the door was opened from the inside.I don't know if the mage had told him something in advance, but the gray-haired old man poked his head out from behind the door, not surprised by the young man's visit, but smiled gently at him.Just like every day he lived in Camelot thousands of years ago, no matter when, he would leave a light for them waiting to go home.

The gentle light scattered from the house shone on his body, and a straight silhouette fell on the ground.Probably because he noticed that the boy hadn't moved for a long time, Merlin also turned his head from the threshold, and looked at Gaius together, with peaceful eyes.Just like many, many years ago, they had stood side by side in front of the cottage like this, waiting for West to come from the shadow of the castle, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and the sky was full of dazzling stars behind him.

Lowering his eyes, he smiled slightly.

……

Whether in the past or now, Lord Hermit has never doubted Gaius's medical skills, let alone a small wound that is not even considered a minor injury.If it wasn't for Merlin's resolute refusal to let him go home alone, West believed that he would be able to take care of this injury.

"Okay. Don't get wet for the next few days, and change the dressing on time." After fastening the bandage carefully, he gave a few worried words.Gaius closed the medical box, gave the mage a wink, and began to clean up the mess on the table.

Naturally understand what he means.Merlin, who had been leaning against the wall to watch, understood, straightened up, and motioned for West to come with him: "I'll find you something you can wear."

Because the shirt and trousers were stained with blood, the smell of rust all over his body was really tormenting. In addition, the mage's face was not very good after he came out of the bar, so West didn't have the guts to disobey him.However, when he was about to stand up, he encountered some small obstacles - Gaius's cat, a white long-haired puppet, for some reason, didn't dislike the hermit in the blood, lying on his knees all the time , No matter how hard you drive, you can't drive away.

——Am I just so destined?

One arm is unable to exert strength, and the weight of the puppet cat also determines that it is impossible for him to lift it with one hand.Remembering that the folded ear that Bucky raised in the Avengers Building also liked to lie on his chest to bask in the sun, West shook his head helplessly, and wanted to touch the puppet's head, but was patted on the back of his hand by a paw. Apparently just a cute little guy with a bad temper.

"It seems that Abby likes you very much." Putting away the last roll of straps, Gaius happily watched West and his cat compete with each other, and seemed to have no intention of helping, "Although she is usually very She is clingy, but it is the first time I have seen him have such a good impression of someone other than me and Merlin."

"Is that so?" Seeing his hand scratched with three red marks, West could only smile wryly, not feeling Abby's kindness towards him at all.

"Of course, although she seems to be losing her temper with you, she really wants to get close to you."

The brows were full of kindness, Gaius glanced at the back of Merlin who had already walked upstairs, remembered the obviously angry face of the mage when he entered the door, and winked at the young man meaningfully:

"Sometimes, she may just not express herself. But you have to believe that as long as you spend more time with her, you will find that she is really trying to show kindness to you."

"After all, no one stipulates that you can't fall in love with someone when you meet for the first time, right?"

After trying to chase the cat away, West raised his head almost hastily.
