While I was dumbfounded, I heard a knock on the door, accompanied by a familiar gentle voice: "Richard, may I come in?"

It's Rae, Rae is back!

My heart was in a mess, Jamie suddenly rushed to the door and pulled the door open.

"Ray..."

Seeing the strange boy who appeared in front of her and calling her name affectionately, Rui Yi was obviously stunned, but the next second Jamie rushed up and hugged him tightly.

"Who are you?!" Rui Yi pulled away the boy's hand in astonishment, and pushed him aside.Judging from his current size and strength alone, Jamie is obviously not at the same level as Ray.

Staring at Rui, Jamie's eyes were already red: "Rui...I'm Richard, Richard! It's been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much, Rui..."

In the past, with the earl's haughty temperament, he would never have said such a thing.Having undergone a complete change of role, identity and environment, the impact on him is already evident...

Rui turned his eyes to me, then looked at the boy, his face full of astonishment: "Richard, what's going on here? Who the hell is he?!"

I was trying to figure out how to make it clear when Jamie spoke again: "Ray, remember? The first time we met was at the Triumph Racecourse, and you were riding on horseback in a pure white jumper and brown breeches, It shines like the sun, when I kindly invited you to the Duke of Salem's ball, but you said you were not interested in that kind of occasion..."

Rae turned away and started looking at Jamie seriously.

"Rui, remember the first gift I gave you? I forced you to accept that Siren pocket watch, and I know you never leave it. Until that time when we had a fierce argument and you threw it on the ground , I wanted to repair it and send it back to you, but there is no chance..." Not only Jamie's words, but also the affectionate look in his eyes.

After listening to his words, I suddenly remembered the delicate pocket watch I saw in the Earl's safe in the past...

Ray watched Jamie's blue eyes widen, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Rae... the first time we had each other was on the rug in the little study, when we both beat our heads and I broke your arm. You said you hated me to the bone and I said, Hate is always more unforgettable than love, I just want you to remember me forever! That was the first time I saw you cry..."

"Stop it!" Ray finally cut him off hoarsely.Look at him, then look at me, Rui Yi's lips trembled slightly, and finally locked his eyes on me: "Tell me, when I went out to sea and encountered a storm, I once said a word, you said you would Keep it in your mind, and tell me, what's that, Richard?"

I just opened my mouth, speechless.During that sea voyage, the only thing left in my body is the impression of a beautiful sunrise, but I have no memory of the storm at all...

"Let me answer you." Jamie took a step forward and approached Ruiy again, "We all thought we were doomed during the storm at sea, so we fixed our bodies in the cabin with ropes, the two of us were firmly Bundled together. At that time I said, I did many wrong things to you, all because I love you too much, I am sorry for you. I also asked you, if there is an afterlife, would you be willing to be with me? I will spend my whole life atoneting for your sins. At that time, you answered me, if this passenger ship sank, would you be willing... just to die in the bottom of the sea with me, even if it is, forever..."

Tears finally welled up in Ray's eyes.He retreated to the door, looked at us helplessly, and suddenly yelled: "What the hell is going on?! Ah?!"

"Jamie, please go out first. I will explain clearly to Rui." I said in a deep voice.

But obviously, Jamie didn't intend to leave at all, but cast a scorching gaze on me: "It's you who should leave, shameless thief!"

"Drowsy!!!"

With Rui Yi's unbearable cry, Jamie quickly fell on the carpet and fell asleep.

The next moment Ruiyi walked in front of me stiffly, with blue eyes fixed on me: "Speak, I'll listen."

"Rui..." I pulled him to sit down on the sofa, trying to keep my voice calm, "I remember you once told me that since I was shot, I have been completely different from the past, including my personality. , the way of speaking, all changed."

Ray stared at me and nodded silently.

I continued to ponder over the sentence: "Actually, from the night when the gunman attacked me, the person in this body is no longer Richard von Hamilton. Let me introduce again...my name Call, Xia Chen, from another world, I don’t know why I came here and occupied the earl’s body...Really, I didn’t mean to hide it from you on purpose, but I just feel that such a bizarre thing has been said You won't believe it either. The more important reason is that you are the most trustworthy and cherished person I have come to this world. I am very afraid...of losing you. This is the whole truth of the matter. I'm sorry, Rui Yi."

After finishing speaking in a low voice, I observed Rui's expression.He closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa without saying a word, as if trying to calm down his mind.

In the unbearable silence, time seemed to stand still.My heart was up and down, as if I was standing in the dock, anxiously waiting for the court's final judgment on me.

After what seemed like a century, Rui finally let out a sigh of relief, opened his eyes but didn't look at me: "Understood."

"Hmm." I don't know what to say, what do these three words mean?He has accepted the reality, forgive me, or? !

"Now... what should I call you?... Xia Chen?" Looking back at me, he seemed to smile.

"Just call me Xia Chen, Ruiyi." The atmosphere between us suddenly became a little alienated, which made me very uncomfortable. I believe that his feeling is exactly the same as mine.

"...Xia Chen, um, take a good rest." Rui patted my shoulder lightly and stood up, "I'm tired after a day of magic class. I'll take him out first." Rui Yi pointed to Jamie who was sleeping on the ground, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay... good night, have a good dream." I stood up, held Rui Yi's face, and kissed his lips.He also kissed me back, and replied lightly: "Good night."

Watching Rui leave with Jamie in his arms, after closing the door, I fell into the sofa and leaned back on the sofa with my eyes closed. .

"Owner……"

Robin also flew onto the back of the sofa, carefully approaching my face, observing my expression.

"Son of a bitch!!"

The sudden swearing made Robin flap his wings in fright.

I sat up abruptly, gritting my teeth.Why did Jamie, who is a blood slave, suddenly appear in Castle Black and become a servant of Castle Black?Is this too coincidental? !

If Peventis is really behind all this, I won't forgive him...never!

……

Robin was already hanging upside down from the ceiling and snoring slightly, but I was still there, sleepless at all.

Gently pushing open the coffin lid and stepping out of the sleeping coffin, seeing the little thing sleeping contentedly and soundly, suddenly envious of it.If I were also a pet bat, I wouldn't have so many troubles.

He opened the door and went to the corridor, and there was silence everywhere.Everyone should be asleep, except—me and Ray.

Standing at the door of Ruiyi's room, while feeling his familiar breath, I listened to the sound of him turning over from inside, accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the bed frame, and not long after, there was another sound.Ray was still tossing and turning, having trouble sleeping.

After standing in front of his door for a long time, I finally left quietly without knocking on the door.

Ray needs time to think it through, I shouldn't disturb his mood anymore.How should we go in the future, me, Richard, and Rui, among the three of us, he is the one who has the hardest choice.

At the thought of losing him, I was at a loss as if I had been disturbed by something, which is why I was running around in the corridor like a chicken without a head.

Standing at the corner of the corridor, I looked at the closed amber door of Peventis from a distance.For a moment I expected the door to open suddenly, and I seemed to see it, and there stood Peventis, with his hideous smile, looking at me silently.

However, nothing happens.The door to Peventis' bedroom was still shut tightly, not even giving me a chance to vent my emotions.

After standing blankly for a while, I finally turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the lower floor in my memory.

In the silence, only the slight sound of the soles of my boots rubbing against the carpet can be heard.The daze and loneliness that I haven't had for a long time suddenly surrounded me, like a small boat in the vast sea, I don't know where to go...
