Count of Monte Cristo

Edmund stood on the deck for a long, long time. He stood there all day. The sailors came and went to express their curiosity. Edmond still greeted with a smile, very calm.But Lin Ke could still feel the turmoil and suffering under his calm face, because those unsmiling eyes and the hatred and regret hidden in his bones were tearing his heart.

Finally, because the captain needed him for something, Edmund left the deck and entered the wheelhouse.

Lin Ke went to the galley to find something to eat. They missed dinner and only had two meals a day on board.There was no one in the kitchen, and the chef didn't know where to go. Lin Ke searched for a long time but found nothing, only some bacon and flour.He watched the flour and made noodle soup by himself, and then returned to the cabin with a bowl.

Before Edmund came back, Lin Ke drank his share of noodle soup to fill his belly, and then consciously took out his book, and began to complete the task assigned by Edmond——Latin homework.After reading those annoying tadpole articles for a long time, the eyes will be dazzled... Lin Ke cursed, if he returned to the present and his current level, he might be able to be recommended to the university.He can speak five languages ​​now, besides Chinese, he can also speak English, French, Italian and Latin. Of course, he can only speak some simple conversations, but he is still very good at speaking!

Hahaha... Thinking about it, I suddenly became interested in learning again...

It would be great if I could really go back, but I won't be able to see Aidemeng again...

Alas... Lin Ke sighed while doing his homework.

When Edmund came back, Lin Ke had finished his homework, and the noodle soup was cold.Lin Ke reminded it, but Edmund didn't care, and drank up the noodle soup.

Sitting on the bed, Edmund said to Lin Ke, "Thank you for reminding me today." Lin Ke knew that he was referring to his gaffe that almost revealed his identity.

Lin Ke hummed and didn't mention anything on the deck, "Is the captain asking you to go there for something?"

"We may have to detour to another sea area. There is a shortcut there. He wants to return to Marseille Port quickly." Edmond said.

"Hmm. We might arrive early then."

"We will not return to land. We will disembark directly at the small island of Monte Cristo. The captain agreed to my request."

"But does this pass there?"

"If you make a detour, you'll pass the isle of Monte Cristo. You'll be there in three days."

"Yeah." Lin Ke had no objection.

"Aren't you asking why I'm there?"

"I know." Lin Ke blurted out, suddenly remembering what happened on Monte Cristo Island before, he hesitated, and said, "I know that there are treasures on that island. And I know you found those treasures too. Treasures, we are going to carry those treasures this time." He said all he thought in one breath, and then carefully observed Edmund's expression.

Edmund was not surprised at all, "You are right." This sentence was very flat, without any emotion.Then Edmund stopped talking, Lin Ke thought he would ask you how you knew and why you knew the news, but Edmund didn't ask anything, his expression was calm.Lin Ke is not calm anymore, he is uneasy.

"You don't ask me, why do you know this?"

Edmund answered quickly this time, "Maybe you are a man of God." This answer made Lin Ke dumbfounded, but it can also be seen that Edmond didn't care at all, he just said it casually, and he didn't have any Doubt him.

Lin Ke said: "I..." Edmund interrupted him before he could speak, "Don't make up a reason, maybe you will tell me one day, I don't mind your concealment, but I mind your lies. And I have my own secrets, I just believe that you will not betray me, and if I promise to take care of you, I will definitely give you trust."

Linko remained silent.

Edmond lay on the bed and said to himself: "Maybe we will be honest with each other, maybe we will hide from each other... Let time give us the answer..." Lin Ke also heard his words, his heart was shocked, and suddenly I felt absurd, these words seemed like an oath...

The wrecked Wren had been diverted, and after a day and a night of sailing they had arrived at Sardinia, and within a day they would reach the isle of Monte Cristo.

Edmund went to look at Sykes again. After staying in his cabin for a long time, the two of them chatted for some unknown time. When Edmund came back, his expression showed no sadness or joy.

Lin Ke didn't go, he was reciting a Latin poem, and he was so sad that he almost wanted to jump into the sea... He was full of resentment, wishing to be like Brother Ma, shaking Edmond's shoulders desperately and roaring Why oh why why did he learn Latin?What is the use of this! !

When Edmund came back, he was almost shot to death by Lin Ke's resentful eyes.Seeing Lin Ke's appearance, Edmund smiled, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

He stepped forward to ruffle Lin Ke's hair, "How is the recitation going?"

Lin Ke recited mechanically, with no ups and downs in his voice, and he was sent for a while. In the end, Edmond had to interrupt him with a frown, "Lin Ke, if you didn't recite tonight, you are not allowed to eat."

Lin Ke became furious when he heard it, and eating is his lifeline.

He dropped the book and rushed towards Edmund, but tripped over the small bench under his feet, and threw himself directly into Edmund's arms.Edmond hugged him subconsciously to prevent him from falling.

"Damn black wizard! I can't recite, and I have to eat!" Lin Ke was still talking about his persistence.

Edmund originally wanted to push him away, but when he was thinking about it, he wrapped his arms around and moved his feet, and then their posture changed to Edmond sitting on the bed, Lin Ke was held in his arms .

Lin Ke was still clamoring for his own rights, but he didn't notice this ambiguous gesture at all.He has the trust of his father, brother, teacher and friend to Edmond, and since Edmond was bitten by a poisonous snake on the desert island, Edmond has more limbs and animals towards him, all of which are very small and unconscious Actions.

Lin Ke also discovered these small changes before them, but their relationship has become very close because of many life and death encounters. After all, the emotional experience of living and dying together is incomparable to others.So Lin Ke didn't show any rejection of such a change. On the contrary, he was faintly happy, and he couldn't figure out what he thought, but it was certain that he liked such a change.And Edmund became more and more tolerant towards him, a kind of tolerance that was completely different from what he had been on the Maiden before.how to say?Even though Edmund on the Maiden was very kind to him, there was always a layer of separation, which made him afraid for no reason. Now, even if Edmond was angry at him with a serious expression, it would not make him feel scared.Because Lin Ke knew that Edmund would not hurt him.

"When you and I are messing around, you are much better at studying than you." Edmund laughed, and a deep laughter came from his chest, which made people feel sexy for no reason.

His laughter made Lin Ke recover from his complaints, and he could see their posture clearly.He paused for a moment, and then quietly wanted to get out of Edmund's embrace, but Edmund seemed to have noticed his movement, and wrapped his arms firmly around him, and continued: "Know why I want you to recite this poem Is it?" Before Lin Ke could answer, Edmund recited the poem softly by himself. Lin Ke knew that this was a poem about missing his hometown. It was a poet who was exiled because of the war. Unable to go back for various reasons, he finally died in a foreign country.

Edmond's voice was deep and magnetic, he recited it eloquently, with sincere and natural feelings, Lin Ke was gradually attracted by him, and then listened to Edmond's recitation, this poem is a long narrative poem with classical hesitation , Edmond recited fluently and affectionately. Lin Ke looked into his eyes, as if he suddenly felt the sorrow and lament of the poet living in a foreign land, the regret and longing that he couldn't ask for, the pain of not being able to return home, and the pain of being unable to return to his family. Best wishes and thoughts...just like him...

Edmund recited in an affectionate tone: "...forgive me for not being able to live without you, forgive me for admiring the beauty of your body and mind, forgive me for wishing to be with you forever..."

Lin Ke trembled, the surroundings seemed hazy, and he felt as if he had entered a fog.The heart trembled slightly, like a cool breeze caressing gently...

Edmund's arm gradually went up and attached to Lin Ke's back, and his other hand suddenly pinched Lin Ke's chin.

Lin Ke was startled, and felt the heat on his chin, and then his eyes went dark, and Edmund's kiss fell.Landing on his forehead, gently, with comfort, "Don't cry..." Lin Ke realized that tears were streaming down his face...

Embarrassed, he pushed away Edmund and wiped the tears from his face.

Edmund was also a little embarrassed. He couldn't help it just now, but he quickly adjusted his mood, coughed a few times and said to Edmund, "It's getting late, let's go out for dinner."

Lin Ke was very upset, nodded his head indiscriminately, and walked out first.

Edmund squinted at his back, his brows deep.
