I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

George Rexar struggled across his eyebrows, and he closed his eyes.

"Lucy," he said again, the man's voice was hoarse, "What do you think love should look like?"

Pei Xiang replied without hesitation:

"I can't tell. But I think it should be more joyful than painful, more relaxed than heavy. The time when two people get together is more bright and clear than when they are alone. and smell the fragrance of roses."

This answer made Rexxar couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth:

"I think so too. The theme of 'love' is more or less explained in the books I have read, the music I have listened to, the performances I have enjoyed and the true stories I have watched, but I am just a visitor and have never felt the same .It wasn't until one day that I moved my heart, that I began to seriously think about this extremely special intimate relationship between people."

Pei Xiang asked with interest: "Then what did you come up with?"

"The result? No, I can't draw conclusions about love," Rexxar shook his head, "Even, I can hardly calm down to analyze 'love' rationally and calmly. She is as sweet as sugar, but it also brings jealousy, Lost, doubts and unwillingness, and worrying about gains and losses."

"So, are you afraid? Want to escape or forget?"

"How? I cherish her, and hope that she will accompany me through the long years, if... I am so lucky."

Pei Xiang's brisk footsteps paused for a moment, she wondered what the "lucky" in Rexxar's mouth was, did she get a sympathetic response, or... just referring to the length of life?

long years?

She looked sideways at the tall man beside her, and asked directly:

"George, are you worried that your multiple identities will kill your love halfway? Death, disappearance, serious injury, or a very likely war. These uncertain futures are preventing you from confessing to your sweetheart?"

Rexa, who had been guessed, suddenly turned around.

He stared intently at his keen and straightforward sweetheart, his jaw was slightly tense, and there was a flickering light in his deep eyes.

He thought, doesn't such a smart girl deserve a better partner?

It is true that he loves her, loves her sincerely!But her beautiful life does not lack his love. Does he really want to disturb her peaceful life with an unpredictable relationship?

Pei Xiang let Rexxar's gaze fall on her, while she herself began to look at the buildings and pedestrians around the street.

When she saw the figures of Edward and Melanie diagonally opposite her, she turned around and said in a low voice while walking towards the acquaintance:

"George, do you know how much love dies in the calm daily life? Even if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, love itself is a scarce and dangerous product. Some people would rather live freely and unrestrainedly for the rest of their lives, and some choose vigorously. Love till the flaming rose burns to cold white ashes.

"Of course, there are still people who choose to compromise and reconcile with the unpredictable and ever-changing life circumstances. They love moderately, lose gently, grieve briefly, and start over firmly...George, what do you think my choice is, and your choice What is it?"

"Some feelings, once started, I can't easily forget." Rexxar whispered.

"And I follow the principle of fairness." Pei Xiang's eyes were burning, "The choice that my lover feels happy is also what I want. George, think about it differently. You will avoid your sweetheart just because he is in danger. Do you treat each other as equals and trust her to be responsible for her life choices, just as you trust yourself."

Rexxar was slightly dazed, and after he came back to his senses, he only felt that his whole heart was soaked in the spring spring, as if everything in the world was singing gracefully.

"Lucy, what if..."

"Hey, Lucy, Professor Rexxar, we're here!"

Edward's shout of joy came from across the street, interrupting Rexxar again.

"Brother, wait a moment, we'll go there now." Pei Xiang waved his hand towards Edward.

Rexxar took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

With a sullen face, he secretly made up his mind that next time, next time, he will never say any foreshadowing words, nor will he hesitate any more, he must express his heart directly!

Pei Xiang squinted at the change in the expression of the man beside him, snorted and turned his head away, leaving him with a beautiful back of the head.

She thought to herself, it's rare that this fairy is planning to fall in love today, but some people don't seize the opportunity.

——Then let’s do it first, if you really can’t bear it, wait until the American Civil War is over, and then come to this fairy to confess your love.

After that day, neither Pei Xiang nor Lexa brought up the topic of love again, not because they lacked the opportunity to be alone, but because they lacked a certain atmosphere and opportunity for success.

Often when Rexxar just showed some intentions, Pei Xiang could find various reasons to interrupt him.After so many times, how could George Rexa fail to see that this girl was "holding vengeance"?But what can he do, he can only continue to work hard.

At the same time, Pei Xiang worked as a work assistant for Lexa according to the previous agreement, and gradually took over part of the professor's apparent work.

She helped him translate papers written by foreign scholars, organize meeting minutes and communication reports, help him plan his schedule and deal with some trivial but important daily events.

After the first few days of running-in and some gossip, Pei Xiang successfully became Lexa's work partner, sharing a lot of daily affairs for him.After that, Rexxar began to put more energy on the secret intelligence work.

With Pei Xiang's maneuvers and cover, Rexxar left the hot spring town more and more.

Pei Xiang spent most of his assistant's non-work time in the temporary meeting building.Because she discovered that the function of this small building is not only for holding exchanges and seminars, but also stores a batch of very precious books, which are the private collections of several famous scholars who came from aristocratic backgrounds.

One evening after more than half a month, Pei Xiang suddenly wanted to check some documents after soaking in the hot spring, so he planned to return to the small meeting building.

She dried the moisture from her hair and put on light clothes, and after explaining to Edward, she hurried away.

"Ms. Hoffman, good evening." The guard of the conference building greeted Pei Xiang.

"Jim, good evening, I'm here to check some information, is there anyone else working upstairs?"

"Oh, Principal Modinant and the two young students from Austria are still here. Mrs. Clara and Miss Garfield are also helping to revise some manuscripts. They plan to have dinner here. Oh, yes, Hoffman Miss, are you going to the library or Professor Rexxar's studio?"

"I'm going to Professor Rexxar, Jim."

"Aren't you going to the library? Well, then I won't go up to the third floor to light the lamp for you, Miss Hoffman."

"Of course, Jim, hey, I'm going to the second floor first, bye."

"Goodbye, Miss Hoffman."

After separating from the doorman, Pei Xiang followed the spiral staircase into the east corridor on the second floor, then stopped in front of the door of the penultimate room, and took out the key to open the door.

With a "click" sound, the door was pushed open.

Pei Xiang, who was about to enter the room, suddenly looked down.

She quickly swept across the area in front of the door, and then looked into the dark room. Everything in the room seemed to be the same as it was before she left. Generally speaking, there was nothing more and nothing less.

Walking into the house, Pei Xiang locked the door behind his back.Then, she went straight to the French windows connected to the terrace, and quickly lifted the half-hanging dark green velvet curtains...

The four eyes met, the cold sharpness in Rexxar's eyes melted instantly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the arm holding the dagger naturally dropped to his side.

"Lucy, it's you. I heard the sound of the key unlocking the lock, but at this point in time, I'm not sure if it's you."

Pei Xiang blinked, and fixed his gaze on Rexxar's upper body, to be precise, it was the naked upper body wrapped in blood-stained gauze.

"You are hurt?"

"Well, I went to meet an important person today. However, there should be a traitor around that person, who leaked our meeting place. Someone wanted to take the opportunity to find out my true identity, so they set up a series of traps .”

As he spoke, Rexxar took a long leg and moved down from the railing by the window. He left the shadowy corner behind the curtain and returned to the house.

Now, Pei Xiang finally saw clearly the injured parts on his front and back.

There are obvious blood stains soaked in one place under the ribs and two places on the back, and it can be seen that there are deep wounds under the gauze.

In addition, where the gauze did not cover, there were several long and thin scars engraved on the muscular shoulders and chest, with half-dried blood on them... All of this silently showed that this man had suffered a lot before. how dangerous.

"You were treating the wound just now?" Pei Xiang walked to Rexxar's side, frowning to check his injury, "Where's the medicine box? I'll help you."

Rexxar looked down at the stern-faced girl in front of him, swallowed the brave words of "I'll do it myself", and cleared his throat slightly uncomfortably:

"After I heard the sound of the key opening the door, I didn't have time to hide the medicine box again, so I just put it on the terrace outside."

Pei Xiang nodded and went directly to the terrace without saying anything.

But after a while, Pei Xiang, who was carrying the medicine box, came back into the house again. When he raised his eyes, he found that the man who was standing obediently just now was bending over to pull out a white shirt from behind the sofa.At the same time, because of his large movement, the blood on the gauze seemed to be deeper.

"Come here, the gauze in the medicine box is still enough, I'll help you re-bandage it."

Rexxar sighed, giving up the unrealistic idea of ​​putting on clothes.

For the next half hour, the house was extremely quiet.

Pei Xiang's movements to treat the wound were swift, skillful, and meticulous.

Not only did she use various medicines in the medicine box, but she also poured out some strange medicine powders from a few small bottles that she carried with her, mixed them thoroughly and applied them all on the cleaned wounds.

Afterwards, Pei Xiang took out another well-sealed pill, and after opening, she handed the pill to Rexxar's lips.

"If you believe me, take this pill."

Rexxar opened his mouth to hold the pill, and after a while, his lips touched Pei Xiang's fingertips.

Pei Xiang glanced at him, but said nothing.

Afterwards, she took out a clean gauze from the medicine box to bandage Rexxa's wound, and because of the need to wrap it, she inevitably wrapped her arms around Lexxa's thin waist, and her cheeks seemed to rub against the warmth. hot chest.

Rexxar's Adam's apple slid down, and his muscles tensed a bit.

Pei Xiang looked up at him, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and there was a little light in the misty blue eyes, and a strand of long hair with a faint fragrance slipped loosely, gently sweeping over Rexxar's arm.

The beautiful woman is close at hand, and her breath blends together.

"Your heartbeat is a little too fast," Pei Xiang said lightly, "This is not good, George."

"It's out of my control, Lucy." The man sighed in a low voice.

"I don't believe that," the girl who lowered her head and worked seriously said with a laugh, "Professor Rexa Xiang is far-sighted, calm and calm, able to control the private emotions in his heart, and not change his face after being injured." I deal with the wound alone. I come and go in a hurry every day, and my mind is full of big things, how can I not control my heartbeat?"

While talking, Pei Xiang finally finished bandaging.She tied a beautiful knot, looked at the fruits of her labor for a while, and then got up to leave.

Lexara took Pei Xiang's hand.

Pei Xiang tried his best to get away, but Rexxar, who knew Pei Xiang's strength well, quickly grabbed him into his arms, completely ignoring whether he would bump into the freshly bandaged wound.

"Lucy, I have something to tell you."

"I do not want to hear."

"I like you."

"Well, I already knew."

"I know you do. What about you, would you accept my kisses and hugs?"

Pei Xiang's eyes shifted quietly - Xiaoxia.

She knew in her heart that Resac was talking about relationship issues, but her first reaction was the beautiful abs that she had looked at carefully for a long time and touched many times, um, and the man's lips that were neither thin nor thick.

From a masculine point of view, she thought, she would.

Therefore, Pei Xiang nodded in a strange way.

Rexxar was overwhelmed with surprise, he was already prepared to be "tossed and revenged" by this girl, but he didn't expect her to agree directly.

——Is it because of my injury?

No matter what the reason is, Mr. George Rexar, who is well versed in rare opportunities, said quickly:

"I will call on Mr. Hoffman tomorrow and explain our marriage to him."

"What marriage?" Pei Xiang cleared his mind, and immediately showed innocent eyes, "No, George, it's too early to talk about marriage. Have you forgotten your previous worries? War, conspiracy, danger that follows you everywhere, look, You got hurt today."

Facing his sweetheart who was pretending to be stupid, the gentle joy in Rexxar's brows never faded, but he sighed in his heart, and said inwardly that it was true.

"Lucy, when my injury is a little better, I will propose to you, okay?"

"No, I only fall in love, not marriage."
