[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

It is too difficult to decide whether to admit it or continue to insist on it.

Aldridge's eyes widened, his fists were clenched, and his body trembled slightly.

After struggling for a long time, he finally closed his eyes tightly and said, "You guessed it right."

After saying this sentence, he no longer had the courage to stay by Alice's side. He turned around and really wanted to escape and leave, but his strength was too little, he didn't even have the strength to move.

How could he be so embarrassed?

How can it be so embarrassing to like someone?

"Are you leaving without saying a word?"

When he was struggling, such indifferent words came from behind her. Her voice was not sharp, but rather flat, but it made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His throat remained silent, and his body shook slightly, as if he was shivering, but the magnitude was so small that he himself felt that it might be an illusion caused by his body being too cold.

"I need an explanation." Alice's voice grew louder, better, but also more terrifying.

He froze completely.

"Alice..." he began at last, "what can I say?"

He turned around, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and compared to his pale skin, which was as pale as a dead man's, his eyes were even more terrifying.

Alice's eyes just widened for a moment, and in the next second, they turned into a sharp line. She pursed her mouth tightly, stepped forward without hesitation, and reached out to touch Aldrich's face.

Aldrich was a head taller than her, and she needed to touch it on her toes, and she thought she would always be on her toes, but within a few seconds, Aldrich bent down and lowered his proud head.

His red eyes were closer to her, but they were no longer scary, because there was nothing scary about a beast-like red eye that was weeping.

Alice hesitated for a moment, then moved her hands neatly.

Aldrich’s face-changing makeup was applied with some sticky things. She didn’t have anything on hand to help soften the sticky things. She also forgot, so she tore off one part fiercely, revealing that the inside was torn Alice froze when she saw her red skin.

Aldridge didn't blink his eyes, and he didn't avoid his movements.He was like a huge stone sculpture, just gazing at her calmly.

Alice pursed her lips, turned around and wanted to find something to soften, but remembered that she didn't have one, so she asked Aldridge, "Where are your makeup removers?"

Aldrich looked down at Alice's pure blue eyes, as if he had been swimming in the sea of ​​her two big and round eyes for a long time, and finally drowned: "Tear it like this, it doesn't hurt, just look at it. It's just scary."

He gave up struggling.

Indeed, there was nothing to struggle with. He already had nothing, and everything was stolen by various means.

His dark emotions kept piling up in his body, and gradually rose into his eyes. For a second, Alice felt that the way he collapsed to calmness was a bit scary.

However, she was not afraid of him, she knew and was convinced that he was a paper tiger after getting along so deeply.

"Then I'll tear it up," she said without sympathy, asking Aldridge for his opinion one last time.

Aldrich closed his eyes, revealing his thick and long lashes.

His face became softer and more docile, but his complexion was also pale enough to turn blue.

Alice started to do it without hesitation. It was a bit difficult to tear off, but that was not a problem. The problem was that when she got to the third part of the small piece of camouflage, she left traces of tearing skin on Aldrich's face, revealing the inside The inner layer of skin is red and swollen to the point of bleeding.She felt pain when she saw it, but Aldrich only trembled for a while before regaining his composure. He still closed his eyes and drooped the corners of his mouth, waiting for her to tear him apart.

Alice was silent for more than ten seconds, and said, "Give me the makeup remover, aren't you afraid of being disfigured?"

Aldrich opened his eyes, straightened up, revealing a taller and bigger figure than Alice, but the words he said were so fragile: "I just don't want to..." He smiled bitterly, and said, "Just take the makeup remover The time for the supplies is too long, I don’t want to suffer for so long, since you want to see it, I can only beg you to read it quickly.”

Alice's tearing action was too forceful before, and now the torn skin on Aldrich's face is oozing more and more blood.

She turned her head away, stopped looking, hardened her heart, and sneered submissively: "Come on, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. It's obvious that you lied to me, and you lied to me for so long. Is it fun?"

"I... didn't mean that..." He couldn't explain it, so he could only defend it with difficulty, but he also knew that there was nothing to justify, so he gave up and just looked down at Alice's shadow on the ground.

That shadow couldn't see Alice's expression, and it was very close to his shadow. The more he looked at it, the more he envied his own shadow.

Alice's words didn't stop, she still said to him: "It's almost the same without that, I ask you, are you Aldrich Campbell?"

As a princess, she called Aldrich by his first and last name, and the voice was like a drumstick, hitting Aldrich's heart heavily one after another.

Aldridge held back the great discomfort in his body, he opened his dry lips, gritted his teeth and said forcefully: "Yes."

All right.

Everything is finally screwed up.

Everything is finally over.

He stretched out his weak hands, gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, and began to tear off the camouflage near the injured skin on his face.

Alice was stunned for a moment, watching his numbness double the size of her wound, then she frowned and said to stop: "What are you doing?"

"...Don't you look at my face?" He said after a long silence.

"It's completely determined who you are, why should I watch?" Alice returned to her indifference.

Aldrich was obviously a little slow in his movements, and he paused for a moment before putting down his hands as if he finally understood what Alice meant.

"Indeed," he smiled silently after he finished speaking, his eyes were still dull, as if he had lost everything he was interested in, "that's right, it's unnecessary."

He turned around, then turned his head again quickly, looked deeply at Alice and said: "I was very grateful to have this new dress before, because it allowed me to be close to you, but now I regret it, I regret that I did it again." It makes you unhappy, and I regret that when I failed, I didn't even have the qualifications to show my truest self in front of you."

The blood on his face was still running, and it pooled into drops at the chin, dripping into his light-colored clothes, dripping more and more, but the color of the blood stains gradually faded, and Alice could see clearly that it was because The liquid in his eye sockets finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it gushed out all at once.

Alice's face turned ugly in an instant. She held back and held back, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Why are you crying? I am even more wronged! Do you know that because of you, even if I don't want to be affected, I am still affected ? Do you think I can heal the wound after I scolded you and vented a lot? Don't do this in front of me, I won't eat it!"

She was still full of hostility and dissatisfaction towards Aldrich, that's why she could say such words.

Aldrich suddenly felt that he really had no right to be sad.

He silently wiped away his tears, and apologized hoarsely: "I'm sorry, I have caused you new troubles. I...I really have no position to say, you...do you need any compensation?"

This question was very difficult to answer, but his brain had stopped working, so he could only ask Alice's needs in such a straightforward manner, so as to compensate Alice.

"I haven't thought about it," Alice smiled coldly, "but now I hope you leave quickly."

"Okay." Aldrich turned around and walked away, he was walking carefully while looking at the ground, as if he was really afraid that something would trip him up on the flat ground.

Alice watched his back completely disappear without a word, and the anger finally spread to her heart.

Ahhhhh, how could she be deceived by this Aldridge again?

Ahhhhhhhh, why did you ask him to leave just now? Now that she has so much money and time, she should take revenge on him and make her happy.

The heart is already going crazy, but the brain is still calm, because she knows that this is indeed the most comfortable way for her.

A person's time is limited, and her brain doesn't want her to waste time on a nuisance who's determined she doesn't need to interact in the future.

With such rationality, within a few days, she waited for the news of Aldrich's departure brought by the servant, and a few days later, she began to receive all kinds of valuables and money sent by Aldrich.

Yes, it is starting to receive.

Aldridge started to make up for her as if he really felt guilty.

Alice looked at more and more things piling up in the warehouse, and began to believe that Aldrich's guilt, which was hard for her to believe.

Yes, when Aldrich said he loved her or clinged to her, she didn't have any strong feelings. Only when this item was delivered bit by bit, did she gradually have a sense of reality.

It's not that she lacks this, it's impossible for her to lack this, but she also knows that unless it's really like and guilt, who would be willing to keep sending expensive gifts to someone who doesn't give any response? Also sent for five years.

"Why is that King Campbell's again?" Mech looked curiously, and he persuaded him in a low voice that had grown up, "Alice, tell him not to give it away, it's too much." too much……"

Alice smiled and picked up some of the jewels. Her eyes became bright because of the reflection of the jewels she contained. She recalled slowly: "At first, I just thought about sending it and taking it. Anyway, he owes me money." , But later, I was curious how long he could keep it, I didn’t expect it to be five years, you said, if I didn’t call to stop, would he keep it for ten years?”

Mech is not very close to Alice, and he is a little uncomfortable with the way Alice tells him what's in his heart, let alone the kind way Alice looks at him, even though the kindness may be because of the content of what she said.

He paused and asked, "Will it change in ten years? Will you like him?"

"Of course not. I haven't thought about it that much, and I don't know what will happen in the future. I'm just curious. How long will it take for him to give up." Alice looked deeply at the gift in her hand and said, "He is really a strange person. people."

The author has something to say: I hate working overworked, waiting so long.
