【Adele】

There are almost no people on the streets of Paris late at night, as dead as a cemetery.

Eric walked me to the door of the apartment and stopped. Although I invited him in, he refused.

"Go in? So that the golden retriever can point at my nose and laugh at me? I'm not that stupid."

— Eric said so.

Looking at the back of Eric leaving, I think he still really minds that Lester laughed at him for being "broken in love".

"Hi, little Adele, good evening!" Someone patted me on the shoulder from behind, and I knew it was Lester without looking back.

"That poor lovelorn is gone? Tsk tsk, what a pity, I still want to comfort him from the standpoint of a friend."

Listening to this regretful tone, those who don't know will really think that he wants to comfort Eric.Fortunately, Eric left early, the theater ghost is really very prescient.

"Adele, you and Grenouille have had a cold war for a few days, right? When I went to the palace today, this guy was in a low mood and sullen. He wanted to leave several times, which scared me into a cold sweat," Lester said. Turn around, and suddenly pointed the finger at me, "Isn't it because he sneaked into your bed/on your bed while you were asleep, and didn't do anything formally. The reason you are so angry is because you don't like him at all?"

"Lester, you're taking it too far," I said angrily as I clutched the bottle of perfume returned by Eric in my pocket, and walked into the apartment, "It's not just because of this, you don't Know the process of making this bottle of perfume, don't know his past, or you wouldn't say that."

Lester shrugged and followed me upstairs: "Okay, ok, I don't know the reason, but you can tell me. You two, you can't keep fighting like this?"

I walked up and saw Jean waiting for me in the corridor. His eyes were still clear and happy looking at me, but he was also a little uneasy and bewildered. Until now, he still doesn’t understand why I haven’t talked to him.

"I don't know how long I will have a cold war with him, maybe when he fully understands that I am not his property." This sentence is an answer to Lester's question, and it is also for others to listen to.

"Well, Grenouille, you have heard that little Adele is determined to teach you, even I can't help," Lester spread his hands, shrugged, and smiled, "Now, it's probably time for me to It's time to say goodbye to you."

"What?" I think my expression must be the same as my mind - it's all blank, what did Lester just say?

He said he was leaving?

"That's right," Lester took it for granted, with a look of indifference: "My revenge is over, our agreement is completed, of course I have to go."

The news came so suddenly, I replied dully: "I thought you would continue to stay with us..."

In addition to having a different schedule than normal people, I almost forgot that the man in front of me was a real vampire. I was even used to taking Lester into consideration in everything, and I was used to relying on his help on certain things.

Lester is no longer an ordinary friend to me, he is like an elder, like a brother.Although the mouth is a bit cheap, but the person is very good.

As a result, my words made Lester laugh out loud, and he patted my head: "Vampires and humans can't stay together forever, when did our clever little Adele become so stupid?"

"And..." He licked his lips, his eyes glowed green, and he looked longingly: "It's been a long time since I drank human blood, I'm so hungry..."

As soon as this sentence came out, Rang, who was standing quietly in the corridor, suddenly ran up to me and stared at Lester very vigilantly.

"Hey, Grenoye, do you think I will suck Adele's blood?! You don't believe me so much? It makes me sad..." Lester widened his eyes and wiped his tears pretending to be sad.

"Can't you stop drinking human blood? Isn't animal blood good too?" I sighed. Once Lester left, I really couldn't control him.

And... I looked at the man standing in front of me, and my mood became more complicated.I know that Jean's actions are to protect me. He has always done this. I used to think that his behavior was very heartwarming, although he was often suspected of being overprotective.But now, I feel that he does this because he doesn't want his things to be destroyed, just like a child cherishes his favorite toys.

I began to have less and less confidence in whether I could change Grenouille.

"Lester, when do you plan to leave?" I asked pitifully, reluctant to part with him, but his intention to go was very firm, and I knew he would not be able to keep him, even though he was reluctant to part with him.

But he's right that vampires can't live with humans forever, and it's not just a matter of race.

"I don't know, depending on my mood, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night, maybe I'm gone now. But... maybe one day, I will come back suddenly, who knows?" Lester smiled at me , the azure blue eyes are as deep and beautiful as the sea. At this moment, I suddenly realized that, I don't know when, the hostility in Lester's body became weaker and weaker, and finally completely replaced by a peaceful temperament.

Although his bad habit of talking and talking has not changed, compared with the Lester when they first met in the swamp, he seems to be a different person, completely reborn.

It seems that the agreement we made with him was very correct.

Adele, you did a good job.

【Jean Grenouille】

The night Lester left, I knew it might be because I had developed a habit of sleeping with her some time ago, and now I am alone, I can't sleep at all.

"Hey, Grenouille, are you here to see me off? Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that the guy who hates me the most came to see me off!" Lester sat on his coffin, touched the coffin lid, It seemed a bit reluctant: "I slept very comfortably. The carpenter in Orleans is good at craftsmanship. Keep it well. Maybe I will come back to live someday."

"Don't wake up Adele, I'm leaving right away, if she comes, she will hug me and cry with tears in her eyes, I can't even leave if I want to, oh~~~"

Does this guy feel a little too good about himself?

But I really won't wake her up, not only because I don't want Adele to hold Lester and cry, but also because her bedroom is now my forbidden place, and I'm afraid that if I go in, she will get angry again.

"By the way, Grenouille, I would like to give you one last piece of advice. If you like Adele, tell her directly. Although I don't know what's wrong with you, I think she seems to have misunderstood you."

like?I like Adele?what is like

This series of questions popped up again, and I haven’t found a definite way to prove it, which can tell me clearly——I really like Adele, and it has nothing to do with her smell that fascinates me out of control, but simply likes her.

I'm not even sure myself, how can I tell Adele?

morning.

Adele was wearing a nightgown, sitting cross-legged on the lid of Lester's coffin, in a daze. When she saw me, she only asked, "Lester is gone?"

She finally talked to me!

Let me think about it, how should I answer better, nod?No, nodding is not enough, I have to say a little bit more, like, like what...

"You don't need to answer, I know, if he's not here during the day, he must have left," she sighed softly, "I'm really reluctant."

"Let me tell you, I'm going to the Opera House soon. The Opera House has to be transferred. I'll go and see Eric to prevent any trouble. I don't know when I will be back, but it doesn't matter. The boy from King Street will come to help You receive today's custom-made perfume guests."

"I go with you."

"No, no, Jean, you don't need to accompany me," Adele shook her head again and again, "Words about your going to the palace yesterday have spread all over Paris, Grenouille, you are now a famous perfumer in France, the one who engraves you Signed empty perfume bottles can sell for tens of francs, you have succeeded, Jean. You have more than you think now, but this does not include me, I am just your friend, you can't see me as you I don’t need to have such a strong possessive desire for me. I”

"Jean, you are no longer the boy with nothing at the beginning, you have to get used to your current role. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the small shop on King Street. Believe me, as long as you show up, you don't need that bottle of perfume. Receive countless adoring crazy eyes, they are all really yours, and they really identify with the name 'Jean Grenouille'."

She smiled at me gently: "Jean, you are very powerful now. You have fame, status, money, and more in the future. It's great to think about it, isn't it? So you have to get used to it and learn to accept it. adapt."

"I can't be with you forever, Jean."

Adele's words made me feel very at a loss. When I first found out that I didn't smell, I did fear and doubt whether I existed, and I was very eager to prove myself with the best perfume.

But the result of the proof is that I found that they were only confused by the perfume, and they valued the perfume instead of me.

This time, it was Adele who told me that I was Grenouille, smell or not, and that to her I was me.

She is the proof of my existence.

But now, she tells me that she can't be with me forever, she is not mine, and one day she will...leave me?

Money, fame, status?She said I have these, people love to adore me, and I will have more and more in the future.But what Adele means is... Of all the things I own, she's not included?

What's the point of that?

She will leave me, her smell will leave me, she will belong to someone else, her smell will be smelled and enjoyed by others, she is not mine at all?
