Apprentice Succubus Hunting Notes

Josh's eyes widened, his nose twitched subconsciously——

No, it's just a resemblance.He is not Hantian.

Unlike the sweet-scented Han Tian, ​​this person's soul has no smell.There is no sweet fragrance, no stench, probably just an ordinary soul.

Perhaps Josh's surprise was too obvious. The man stood there for a few seconds, held the hat in his hand, and asked again: "How are you?"

Only then did Josh come back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Would you like something to drink?"

The man closed his eyes slightly, sniffed the air lightly, opened his eyes again, and said with a smile, "I smell the aroma of black tea. Please bring me a cup of black tea."

Josh led the man to a round table by the window and sat down, saying: "Okay, wait a moment", while peeking at the man's face uncontrollably.

So much alike, so much alike.

If it is in dim light, it will make people mistakenly think that he is Han Tian.

Only after the sunlight from outside the window came in, could one see clearly that this person was actually several years older than Han Tian, ​​and there were some very fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Moreover, there is a bunch of obvious white hair in his hair, which is extremely conspicuous.

With such a similar appearance, there should be some relationship between this person and Han Tian, ​​right?Is it Han Tian's "relative"?

Speaking of which, I really wish Han Tian never said what kind of family is he?

Thinking of this, Josh couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at himself: Hey, I am a little devil who got out of an egg, but Han Tian is not.Why didn't I think about it, what is Han Tian's parents and family like?Maybe it's because of these details that the progress of my current project will be stuck, and the trapping value will not increase!

While thinking angrily, Josh made a cup of black tea with a tea bag. The tea soup was clear and the tea tasted mellow.

After he delivered the black tea, the man looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Is there any cake here? I can smell the aroma of cake."

Josh nodded: "Yes. The brownie is very fragrant, the cheesecake is very pure, and the strawberry cream cake tastes fresh... In short, everything is delicious. Which one do you want?"

The man stroked his chin back and forth with his black-gloved hand, and finally smiled slightly: "Since you think everything is good, then you can have a portion of everything."

"Ah! Okay!" According to the other party's request, Josh took out a portion of each cake from the cabinet, put them on a tray, and divided them twice before serving them all.

"Your cake, please use it slowly."

When he took the last chocolate muffin to the table, his hands suddenly felt a little weak, and he shook slightly, almost dropping the muffin to the ground.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Josh apologized, but he was a little strange: what's going on?Why are my hands shaking?

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it." The man comforted softly.

Josh felt that this person's tone of voice and attitude towards people were very similar to Han Tian's.

They are all equally courteous, gentle and generous.

The same appearance, similar temperament, so, what is the relationship between this person and Han Tian?

But it's too abrupt to ask such a sudden question, right?

He was thinking about how to speak cleverly and without trace, the man picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, his brows stretched, and he sighed softly: "This taste, I miss it so much..."

Ok?

After hearing this, Josh continued to put on a business smile, just like a diligent and conscientious clerk would do, and asked politely: "This tea has a special formula, does it still suit your taste?"

"Special formula?" The man really noticed the word, raised his head, with some surprise on his face: "Really? I thought only my brother could make this taste. Could it be that other people have this formula? "

"Your...brother?" Josh dragged his voice and asked meaningfully.

"Well," the man nodded, with a bit of regret and nostalgia in his smile: "My brother, Xiaotian. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Your brother Xiaotian?" Josh looked at the man intently.

The other party was playing with the dessert spoon with his gloved hands, his face was full of doubts and expectations: "Yes, Xiaotian. I heard that he works in a private hospital nearby, so as soon as I arrived in this city, I rushed to In this neighborhood, I think I might be able to meet him..."

Looking at Josh's expression, the man asked tentatively: "Could it be, you happen to know my younger brother? Oh, I'm sorry, look, I was so excited that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lorraine, and I There is a younger brother named Luo Tian. However, he should have changed his name to 'Han Tian' now."

The other party has said this to this extent, and Josh immediately thinks that there is no need to pretend anymore.

"Coincidentally, we do know each other." Josh smiled and said frankly: "My name is Josh, and Han Tian is mine... er, my colleague. He used to work here, you The black tea I just drank was also made from the tea bag he gave me."

"Really?" Lorraine stood up from his seat with a look of surprise, and even stretched out his hands, trying to hold Josh's hand——

However, before Lorraine's hand touched his, as if being electrocuted by something, he took it back with a swipe.

"I'm sorry, I was so excited at the moment, it's too rude." Lorraine's face turned a little pale, and he shook his wrist, explaining with a little embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's understandable." Josh said so, but he still felt that the person's posture just now was a bit unnatural.

"Mr. Josh, if you're not busy, can you tell me how Xiaotian is doing recently?" Lorraine said sincerely, even begging for mercy in his tone.

Looking at this face that was almost exactly the same as Han Tian's, Josh couldn't refuse to speak to himself in this tone.Besides, there was nothing else going on in the cafe at all.

So, he sat opposite Lorraine and talked about Han Tian's recent situation in a simple and clear manner.

For example, Han Tian is an excellent doctor and a visiting professor. He not only donates to students, but also supports orphanages. He has a gentle and good temper. In short, he is very good.

Of course, he didn't intend to tell this brother that he was staying at his brother's house now, and he almost kissed his brother yesterday.

After listening to Josh's fancy praise, Lorraine looked relieved and sighed: "That's great, I'm relieved to see that our Xiaotian is living so happily now."

Our boy?Josh frowned slightly.

Lorraine didn't seem to notice Josh's expression at all, and continued to sigh: "When Xiaotian was a teenager, he chased after me every day. I love drinking black tea. He learned to make black tea to make me happy... He is still very young. He thoughtfully added his secret formula to the black tea, which has a very unique aroma. So, as soon as I drank this tea, I immediately thought, maybe Xiaotian will be here?"

Um?Because you like to drink tea, so Han Tian learned to make black tea?

Why does this sound so uncomfortable?

Unknowingly, Josh frowned even tighter.

Lorraine paused, and said with an apologetic smile: "Ah, look at me, why are you talking about these little things. Compared to these, you must want to know why I have been so close to my brother for so many years. Haven't met yet?"

Josh gave a "hmm" and pointed to the dessert on the table at the same time: "Mr. Luo, I'm actually more concerned, which piece of cake do you plan to eat first?"

It's been a while since these cakes were taken out of the cabinet with constant temperature and humidity, but this person didn't move a single bite.

"Oh, don't worry about it." The man didn't take it seriously, and at the same time began to talk about his family story with Han Tian.

This story is not much different from the grievances and grievances of wealthy families that Josh read from the "Extracurricular Extension Reader" of "Human Sociology" before.

Probably, a hundred-year-old family, the empress of a famous family.Both brothers have high hopes from their parents, but Han Tian, ​​the second son, is especially intelligent and highly anticipated.On the contrary, the eldest son Lorraine is slightly inferior.

Among the big families, the relationship is intricate, and naturally some people support Lorraine and try to suppress Han Tian.Therefore, all kinds of open and secret struggles have never been interrupted.

However, in the end it is brotherly love.In order for his elder brother to succeed in the position, Han Tian took the initiative to announce his withdrawal from the competition, left the family, and started his own business.

After that, Lorraine tried to contact Han Tian more than once to let him return to the family, but all failed.Even these years, he has not been able to see Han Tian again.

"So, although I know that Xiaotian is going to pursue his dream, I still feel that I am ashamed of him and forced him away from home. I hope that I can have a chance to have a good chat with him , apologize to him..." Lorraine's words were extremely earnest, and even faint tears flashed from his eyes.

This scene, this tone of voice, if it were a soft-hearted person, they would all wipe their tears together.

However, Josh just nodded, and asked again: "Mr. Luo, which piece of cake are you going to eat first?"

"Huh?" Lorraine was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting that Josh's focus was still on the cake.He seemed to be still immersed in that sad emotion, he just used a spoon to dig a small corner on the matcha layer cake, and continued: "Actually, I always wonder if Han Tian insists on refusing to see me. Are you angry with me? Or is it that he has too much affection for me, so he can't let go? So, this apology is very important to him and to me..."

Josh pursed his lips slightly, somewhat disapprovingly.

In his opinion, Han Tian is living a very good life now, every day is very fulfilling, and there is no need for an apology.

As for Han Tian leaving the family and refusing to see this brother, Josh believed that Han Tian must have his own reasons.

"Mr. Josh?" Lorraine dug another corner of the brownie with a spoon, and at the same time continued to ask politely: "I just wanted to ask, the little star you wear around your neck has a unique shape, very similar to The decorations that Xiaotian made by hand before. Could this be given to you by Xiaotian, right?"

"This?" Josh touched the small pendant.He originally wore a small pendant next to his body, but it seemed that when he bent over just now, it fell out of his clothes.

"Well, yes." He added: "Well, Han Tian specially gave it to me."

"... Sure enough..." Lorraine's eyes were a little sad, "I miss it so much. He gave me similar things before."

"...Ah, is it?" Josh didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he could only respond dully.

Lorraine looked into Josh's eyes, and said in a very sincere tone: "Mr. Josh, if it's convenient, can you take this pendant down and let me have a look?"

"Huh?" Josh frowned tightly, and subconsciously pressed his hand on the shining pendant, "This? Sorry, I don't want to."

He just doesn't want to.

Han Tian gave him something, why should he take it down for others to touch?Not even if you are a brother.

Being rejected so firmly by Josh, Lorraine's face changed slightly.

But soon, with a smile again, he took out a small box from the windbreaker pocket, "By the way, look at this."

Lorraine opened the small box, and inside was a small star, which was almost the same as the one hanging around Josh's neck, except that the color was much dimmer.

"Look, this is the star he gave me before. Is it exactly the same as yours?" Lorraine said with a smile, "Once, I was seriously ill, and he was always by my side, crying for me He prayed and made this little star for me. He also said that this star can replace him and protect me..."

etc?Han Tian cried and prayed for you?

Josh glanced at the star again, feeling very uncomfortable, even a little... Nausea.

And it's so weird, as an elder brother, Lorraine seems to be in his 30s, yet he still runs around with the toys his younger brother gave him when he was a child?It's not necessary to rely on such a small toy to recognize each other, right?

In addition, this elder brother, why does he remember the nonsense that his younger brother said when he was a child so firmly?

What guards do not guard, it is all children's nonsense, it must be nonsense.

Thinking of this, Josh's expression became even uglier.

"Mr. Josh, since you and Xiaotian are colleagues, I wonder if I could ask you a favor." Lorraine said earnestly.

"Mr. Luo, please tell me." Josh froze.

"I haven't been in touch with Xiaotian for many years. I don't think it's appropriate to rush to the door to find him so rashly. You seem to be familiar with him. Otherwise, you can help me bring this star to him. He saw this Xing Xing will naturally think of me and know that I'm here, maybe—after so many years, he also wants to see me." Lorraine finished speaking in one breath, with a somewhat humble expression on his face.

Josh frowned again.

This is really just a simple request, as long as you accept the stars and bring them to Han Tian, ​​wouldn't this poor brother's wish be fulfilled?

Seeing the complicated expression on Josh's face, Lorraine opened his lips slightly, and whispered: "This star is so small, it's really easy to lose... If this star is lost, it probably means that I The brotherhood with Han Tian is now completely over. I probably will never want to find him again."

These words seemed to be just talking to himself, and seemed to be just helpless self-pity.

But in Josh's ears, it has other meanings.

If I accept Little Xingxing and throw it away, will this brother who was so close to Han Tian really never come to him again?

From this point of view, it seems that it is not bad?

Aware of Josh's wavering, Lorraine had a sneer on his face, then quickly disappeared, and continued to mourn: "Then, Mr. Josh, would you do me this favor?"

However, Josh finally gritted his teeth and shook his head, "No."

A gloomy look flashed in Lorraine's eyes.

He smiled and asked, "Ah, will this matter be troublesome..."

Josh looked at him, then looked at the little star on the table, and said firmly: "It's not troublesome. But, Mr. Luo, you also said that Han Tian left home by himself and lived hard for so many years .In my impression, Han Tian is an assertive, kind and gentle person. If he was willing to see you, he would have done so long ago. If he didn't, then he must have his own reasons. So, I don't I will remind him about it, I don't want to add to his troubles."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Josh paused and added: "Besides, I'm easy to lose things. I accidentally lost the one he gave me before. This time, I don't want to put You lose this one again. You should keep it for yourself.”

Lorraine froze for a moment, and finally a look of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face.

"In this case," Lorraine took another sip from the cup, stood up slowly, and said, "In this case, I will wait for the opportunity in the future and go find him myself."

After speaking, Lorraine put away the dim star and walked towards the door.

Josh looked at Lorraine's back, and then at the table full of desserts that had only moved a little or not, and finally couldn't hold back.

He quickly walked a few steps, grabbed in front of Lorraine, and said, "Mr. Luo, although you look very similar to Han Tian, ​​I now feel that you are not like that at all! Han Tian is a person who never, never wastes food! "

There is no way to recycle this table of cakes, they will all be wasted!What a pity!If you give it to Tongtong and the others, how happy they will be!

"Waste...food...?" Lorraine looked at him in surprise.

Before Lorraine could react, Josh opened the door for him and said loudly, "Then, thank you for coming! Welcome to come next time!"

After finishing speaking, he shut the door with a "bang".

The author has something to say: Josh: No Food Waste!snort
