[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Chapter 56 [Catching Insects]

When Edmund pushed open the study door, Carlisle was standing at the desk making tea.

Yes, make tea.

"Hey! I can't believe my eyes!" The boy put his coat on the recliner, and approached with a curious expression, "The vampire is actually making tea."

"For you to drink." Carlisle tilted his head and smiled at Edmund, "Sri Lankan black tea (that is, Ceylon black tea) was sent by a friend of mine."

"Thank you.—it smells delicious." The boy bent over the table and looked at the steaming white teapot on the tray. "I remember you said you used to like this one the most."

"Yes.—But at that time, the transportation was not developed. So I only tasted it two or three times... By the time I had enough conditions to buy it, I couldn't taste any of it."

"This is a nightmare." Edmund shook his head. ——In his opinion, it is unimaginable to live for more than 300 years but only touch his favorite things two or three times.

Carlisle put the lid on the gold-rimmed pot, raised his left hand and gently rubbed the boy's soft hair.

"How's school going, Ed?"

"The school environment is very good, and the teachers and students are also very... enthusiastic. I was very lucky to be the focus of the entire Fox High School today. Even if I went to the bathroom, I would be treated as the White Wolf of Newfoundland (White Wolf of Newfoundland, Also known as the North American white wolf, it is a large, long-headed wolf species. The North American white wolf is white all over, only the head and feet are light ivory. In 1911, they became the first of many subspecies of the North American gray wolf. an extinct subspecies)... but generally pretty good. — Oh, yes, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"I just came back to my room to find Emmett drinking and drenching my bed... I was going to put the mattress in the dryer but unfortunately Edward broke it. "Edmund reached out and grabbed Carlisle's hand from the top of his head, unbuttoned the white button on his cuff, and flexibly rolled up the cuff, revealing a beautiful white wrist. —he thinks it looks better that way. "Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

"Of course." Carlisle didn't seem surprised by the news at all. ——In fact, he knew that Emmett and Edward might do this, but he still didn't make a sound to stop it.

The vampire in the family seems to have been on a high since he confessed to Alice earlier in the day that he was about to make a move. (Perhaps Rosalie should be excluded.—the haughty blond beauty seems to have been having a hard time accepting that Carlisle identified Edmund as a mate. In her view, Edmund is the child of all of them and should not Carlisle alone. Especially as a "partner". But at the same time, she also very much hopes that her family can be happy. So she did not clearly state whether she supports or opposes it.)

Emmett wets Edmund's bed, Alice keeps an eye on Edmund's future, Edward breaks the dryer, and almost cuts off Edmund's close contact with his classmates (especially female classmates), Jas Pa and Esme always make time just in time for the two of them to be alone...

If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity at this time, he might really "die alone".

"Ed."

"Ok?"

"There's something on the face."

"what?"

"Just stand there and don't move."

"Oh."

Carlisle took half a step forward, put one hand on the boy's shoulder, slightly raised the other hand, and gently stroked the skin of the boy's face with his fingertips, before reluctantly leaving after a few seconds .

"What's there?" Edmund held Carlisle's hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything strange on it, so he asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I lied to you."

"..."

It's really unimaginable that Carlisle would joke with him like that. ——This is extremely inconsistent with the other party's gentle and calm personality.

Well, maybe it was influenced by Emmett?

The boy shrugged, just about to criticize Carlisle for being too childish, but when he looked up, he saw the vampire's gentle smile.

At that moment, he felt as if he had never looked at Carlisle's face carefully. ——No matter how beautiful things are, they are not enough to describe that perfect face.

Although he thought he had read many books, it was only at this time that he realized that he could hardly describe how handsome the other party was.

Carlisle was a vampire, and one of the most attractive vampires he had ever known.

【Is he really single? Has it been for over 300 years?Is it because Carlisle is too picky or is there a problem with the vision of the people around him? 】

Edmund pondered over this question in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he realized that he was tilting his head up, with one arm around Carlisle's waist, and the other hand on Carlisle's shoulder, pressing down hard. , seems to want the latter to bow his head obediently. ——He bet that his lips were only an inch away from Carlisle's at that time (about 2.5 centimeters), and he could even feel the cold temperature from the other's lips.

[Wait, what am I doing here? ! 】

The boy let go of Carlisle almost like an electric shock after realizing what he had done, and then quickly took a few steps back with his hands behind his back.

His mind is in chaos right now, he can think about everything——

[Can the vampire's lips be softer?I kissed it when I was a child but I completely forgot about it. 】

[Will Carlisle be angry?Absolutely will be angry! ——Well, I think I'll ask Edward tonight to see if I can sleep in his room...]

[Wait, why didn't Carlisle resist just now?Oh no, the word 'revolt' is a bit odd.Huh?It seems that the point is not this. 】

[What's the use of thinking about it now, Edward downstairs must have heard my thoughts all over the place. —Maybe I’m thinking about how to teach me to respect my elders later...]

"Ed, if you stay in a daze, the tea will be cold." Carlisle stood still and looked at Edmund with a livid face, before opening his mouth after a while. ——His tone was very calm, as if the scene just now had never happened at all.

"Oh...cough." The boy moved forward a few steps, took the teacup from Carlisle's hand, and quickly retreated to the recliner.My mind is still a mess.

To be honest, Edmund was not in the mood for tea at all.The only thing he wanted to do was to run out of this room quickly, plunge into the quilt and bury himself deeply. —He felt that he had no face to face Carlisle.

"What happened just now is not your fault." Carlisle said suddenly, and said softly, "The responsibility lies with me. ——I asked you to do this."

"What did you say? Sorry, I didn't catch it just now." The boy looked at the handsome vampire suspiciously, his hand trembled, and almost spilled the black tea in his hand.

"Humans can't resist the charm of vampires, even you who have lived with us for a long time." Carlisle walked over slowly, asking with his eyes if he could sit next to the boy.

"Oh..." Edmund moved to the side, making enough room for the other party to sit. "Feel sorry."

"It's not your fault, you don't need an apology." Carlisle moved his lips and said softly, "...I want to ask a question, Ed. — In your opinion, am I rich?"

"...If this is the first time I see you, maybe I will think about it for a while before answering." The boy tilted his head and said quickly, "You can buy two or three islands on the Pacific Rim as a resort , have their own villas all over the world, and even a few very beautiful private jets... If you are not rich, then there are no rich people in this world."

"But I still feel like I'm missing something... Sometimes I suddenly feel very uncomfortable and almost don't want to do anything. ——This feeling, even if I have established my own family, there is no way to get rid of it."

The boy looked at the blond vampire's face suspiciously, as if he didn't realize what he was talking about. —Is Carlisle going to talk to him about money now?Things like "money isn't everything", "everyone (ghost?) has problems with everyone (ghost?), ", "vampires sometimes get suddenly depressed" or something like that?

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— —————————————————————————————————

"You...today is a bit strange." Edmund was silent for a while before speaking. "What's wrong?"

Carlisle bowed his head slightly, turned his head and looked at the white carpet under his feet, as if he didn't want to answer the boy's question.

This made Edmund anxious.

"Carlisle, what happened? Have the Volturi backed down? Or are they trying to take Edward and Alice away?" The boy put the teacup aside, supported Carlisle's knees on the carpet, and stared at him seriously s face. ——It was the first time he saw Carlisle's lonely expression.This made him feel very uncomfortable.It was as if someone had covered his entire head with a big plastic bag, and he was almost out of breath. "Can you tell me? - Of course, if you don't tell me I will..."

"I'm fine." Carlisle reached out and rubbed Edmund's hair.

"No, you have something to do." The boy said firmly, "You are very abnormal today.——You used to only care about my affairs, and rarely talked about your own feelings, especially negative ones... What are you doing today? What's wrong?"

"It just popped into my head."

"This is not very good. If this continues, what if one day he commits suicide...I'll call Jasper and Edward."

"Ed."

"You're welcome."

But before Edmund got up, he was held down by Carlisle's hand, unable to move.

"I'm really all right.—Trust me, okay?"

"Oh..." The boy blinked, and followed the strength of the opponent's arm to sit on the recliner again. "Well, if you don't bark, don't bark.—But is there anything I can do for you? Anything."

"Can I lie down for a while?" Carlisle smiled at Edmund.

The boy raised his hand and picked his ear. He felt that he seemed to have misheard just now.

"Cough... what did you just say?"

"Can I lie down for a while?"

"Lie down?" Edmund asked, tilting his head.

"Yes; is that ok?"

"Oh!—Of course!" The boy patted his thigh generously with an expression of "Lie down, lie down, no matter how long you lie down", "Come on!"

Then things developed inexplicably like this——

The handsome young Dr. Cullen was lying flat on Edmund's lap, and seemed to be resting under a blanket.And that boy... was pressing his hand on the other's smooth forehead, lowering his head, and gently covering the vampire's eye sockets with his lips.

Rosalie now felt the urge to drag Edward Cullen out of his room and shake him by the collar twenty times a second for ten minutes. —Edward had told her Carlisle had business with her just half a minute ago, so she had come up, and managed to get into the house without knocking.

Result, result, just, see, arrived, this, like, one, one, scene, scene! ! !

The blond beauty pursed her lips, and looked at the vampire who seemed to have no time to react (Carlisle heard Rosalie go upstairs, but didn't expect that the other party forgot to knock on the door), and it took less than half a second He backed out abruptly, and quickly slammed the door shut.

Edmund, startled by the sound of the door closing, raised his head suddenly. ——He looked at the door that seemed to be still shaking, and then set his sights on Carlisle.

His cheeks were suddenly as red as a crab thrown into a pot of boiling water.
