The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The success of John's leg suturing operation was not the only thing in the Designia territory, it happened more or less in every city.

The success of a suturing operation is just an exception, and may not attract much attention.

However, news of the success of the operation slowly spread in various cities, which means that the treatment method proposed by Lord Designia is really feasible.

All these things were published in newspapers, and then distributed and sold everywhere.

When everyone was eagerly talking about the suture operation, Xia Zuoyi first found Orville in the castle, hoping to have a talk with him.

The two of them sat alone in the study, facing each other.

"Wow."

Nian Gao was held in Orville's arms, and Xiaoxuehu's petite size allowed it to curl up on the Duke's lap, and was comfortably smoothed down through her snow-white hair.

However, when Nian Gao saw Xia Zuoyi sitting on another sofa, her dark eyes lit up, and she tried to stand up and jump out of Orville's embrace.

But his legs and feet moved, and he was still hugged tightly when he came back to his senses.

Xia Zuoyi saw Nian Gao's four short legs kicking in the air under Orville's embrace, standing still...

puff.

He couldn't help laughing.

"cough……"

Xia Zuoyi then cleared his throat, looked at Orville seriously and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

When Orville heard this, his expression rarely softened: "Of course, as long as it is a question you ask, I will definitely answer it."

He kept on stroking the big tail of the rice cake.

Xia Zuoyi: "I hope you must answer this question."

"If you had to choose between me and a group of fluffy beasts, you can only choose one of them. If you choose, I will not be able to touch the fluffy beasts. If you choose fluffy beasts, there will be no me ..."

"Orville, how would you choose?"

Orville's hand touching the rice cake's tail froze.

His light gray eyes looked at Xia Zuoyi very quietly, and asked for a while, "Do you have to choose?"

Can't you have both?

Xia Zuoyi understood what he meant, shook her head and said, "Things always have shortcomings, you can't keep everything by your side..."

"You can't stay either."

Orville lowered his eyes silently, just in time to meet the curious look in the small eyes of the last rice cake.

"Wow?"

"Impossible..." Orville murmured.

Xia Zuoyi: "Have you really recognized your feelings for me?"

"I like you and I want to stay by your side."

"Whether it's in the territory of Designia or Achiayoli, as long as you want, I can agree and compromise for you." Orville looked serious.

Xia Zuoyi sighed and said, "Then you make a choice, Orville."

"In your heart, can you choose me without hesitation? Am I more important than fluffy ones?"

Orville didn't answer because he couldn't choose.

In his heart, he would hesitate and hesitate to choose Xia Zuoyi, but abandon the fluffy beasts... He couldn't choose any of the answers.

But... why can't I have both.

In his opinion, little Zoe is one with the fluffy ones, and he and his beasts will never be separated.

Xia Zuoyi saw his hesitation.

Before Orville answered immediately, he already understood.

He said: "Orville, I need a lover who treats me wholeheartedly. He must have all eyes on me and put me first."

"Instead of hesitating when I ask the question."

"You may like me, but this kind of feeling is not love."

Orville said softly: "Then what is love... I don't understand, you can teach me."

Xia Zuoyi: "No, Orville, I can't teach you about this, because I..."

He thought of His Majesty the Pope, and his expression softened unconsciously: "Because I have decided to give my like and love to another person."

"...Is it the Pope?" Orville whispered.

His light gray eyes seemed to be immersed in a layer of misty mist, and he looked rather pitiful.

Although Xia Zuoyi felt a little bit unbearable, she still wanted him to recognize a cruel reality.

"Orville, you have to know that when a person's heart belongs to him, he can't accept others, unless the person changes his mind."

"But I will not change my mind. Even if you stay here for a month, a year, or even three or five years, it is impossible for me to agree to be with you."

Xia Zuoyi said: "Between friends, I will not have unnecessary feelings for you, and it is impossible for me to go back to the Aqiyayoli territory with you."

"Besides, why do you think you like me?"

Orville: "You are very good. We have known each other for so long. I am the happiest with you. I don't have many friends, but you are the most important one."

Xia Zuoyi: "Then let me be your lifelong friend."

"Friendship is something more precious than love to a certain extent..."

He used poisonous chicken soup for the soul to boil the Grand Duke Orville who was still "simple" in a certain way, so that he would no longer be obsessed with this matter.

No need, really no need.

Since I like fur more, I can touch it without becoming a lover.

Orville was silent for a while before saying, "Little Zoe, I have a request."

"What, you said."

"Can you send the briquettes to..."

"impossible."

"Snowball is also fine."

"impossible."

"Youth group? Brown sugar? Ice cream? Rice cake? Rolling..."

"...Wake up, it's still daytime."

Fortunately, Grand Duke Orville is still very sensible, he knows that no matter how much he waits, little Zoe's decision will still not change.

That being the case, why would he force a fruitless relationship.

However, Orville was still a little sad, so he slept in the plush room that night, with rice cakes in his arms and rolling beside him.

After Xia Zuoyi persuaded the Grand Duke to take back his thoughts, he immediately went to find Archibald.

"You're going to reject me, aren't you?"

As soon as he entered the study, Archibald said, "Orville can't recognize emotions, but I can't."

"Are you going to tell me the reasons for persuading him again?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Archie, do you find it useful?"

Archibald has already answered the question with an expression.

Xia Zuoyi: "Since it doesn't work at all, then I won't talk nonsense."

"But you must also understand that it's better to let go of this kind of thing earlier, because I can't accept you, Archie, we should be friends and partners."

Xia Zuoyi decided to talk a little harder with Archie than with Orville.

After all... long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Some things are just fine to say no to.

Archibald: "Do you think we can still be friends?"

"If you don't want to be friends with me again... Archie, I just hope we won't be enemies." Xia Zuoyi was silent for a while.

Archibald Lake's green eyes dimmed for a moment, and he smiled wryly: "Don't you try to keep me..."

Xia Zuoyi: "I don't want to force you, if the relationship of friends will make you sad... then it's better to be a stranger who knows each other."

After he finished speaking, the air seemed to be silent.

In Archibald's eyes, there seemed to be raindrops falling on the clear lake, and then ripples splashed drop by drop, just like the lake water under the rain, always with a little deep and sad.

"Archie..." Xia Zuoyi's lips moved, but she didn't go any further.

But he thought that the period of time since they returned to the Designia territory from the San Airo Empire should have been enough for Archibald to see clearly his attitude towards this matter.

His non-response is already the best answer.

For the sake of acquaintance since childhood, best friend, and partner, he actually didn't want to talk too much... In the end, maybe even...

"Aside from responding to your feelings, I respect your decision and attitude on other matters," Xia Zuoyi said.

His caramel-colored eyes looked at Archibald earnestly, with spirit and sincerity.

How sad it is.

Archibald thought, he was one step too late... He was really not reconciled.

He closed his eyes and hid the things that seemed to be revealed inside. After opening them again, those emerald-like emerald-like emerald green eyes had returned to normal.

Archibald: "Can I give you a hug?"

Xia Zuoyi opened his arms hesitantly.

Archibald stepped forward and hugged him.

He buried his head on Xia Zuoyi's neck, resisting the trembling sigh that was about to blurt out, and said in a slightly weak tone: "Little Zoe, we will be... forever friends and partners."

"Don't alienate me, okay?"

"it is good."

Xia Zuoyi raised her hand to pat him on the back to comfort him, but finally put it down.

…………

After that, Archibald never showed any attitude or behavior beyond friendship to him, and they seemed to have returned to the way they used to get along.

Within a few days, they even talked about cooperation on new crops.

"I should go back."

Before Orville planned to leave the territory of Designia, Archibald said: "The matter of new crops is very important, and I will go back to Anas Kingdom to arrange it."

"Little Zoe, you always surprise me."

Xia Zuoyi: "I hope I can keep giving in the future."

Archibald smiled at him upon hearing this.

Xia Zuoyi personally went to the port to send Archibald away, watching the fleet belonging to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce drift away, he sighed softly.

But things finally worked out.

Time will heal everything slowly.

Xia Zuoyi thought that it would be quiet for a while, but when they passed Fort Comoi, the soldiers guarding the city gate stopped the team and said they had something to report.

Judit got out of the carriage and went over to ask what happened.

The soldier said that a black leopard appeared in the city, which seemed to be the lord's beast, but beside him was a strange young man and a silver-haired girl whom he had never seen before.

Judit immediately explained this matter to Xia Zuoyi.

Xia Zuoyi: "..."

Who else can carry the Black Panther...

——One of the supporting characters in the original book, Brali, the leader of the Kadi tribe.

As for the silver-haired girl... I can even guess who it is.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help feeling a little headache, is it over yet? !

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Head hurts, head hurts, why did they come to the territory of Dexinia, can't they just go back to the Kadi tribe? !

Pope: Hug, in fact, you can also wait for me to make a move. Whether it is those two people or this woman, I will...

Xia Xia: Cover your mouth.jpg, forget it, let me do it, it’s not suitable to see blood.

Pope: ^^
