Rhines' blond hair became wet and stuck to the side of his face, and his light blue pupils were covered with water vapor.The 16-year-old boy was as white as a small bouquet of rose petals, huddled in the corner of the wall in a daze and fear.
Or a baby rabbit cornered by hounds.
But despite this, he still pursed his lips tightly and refused to make a sound.
The cloth on Rhines' body was almost torn, and even the pair of gray boots on his feet were thrown downstairs.
Rhines put his legs together in shame, the edges of the gray marks rubbed on his arms were red.
His older brother, Herbert Sauk, had one foot on the abandoned plank, and one hand was holding the empty jug.The water stains on Rhines' body came from the cold water that was once contained in the jug.
This is an abandoned cottage on the manor. It may have been the center of the family when Herbert's grandfather started his business decades ago, but now, from the foot of the rolling hills in the north to the seashore in the distance All are the territory of the Sauk family.
The noble lord built a new manor, a small house made only of wood and plaster that had not been visited for a long time.
But recently, when Herbert discovered that his younger brother born by a maid likes to hide here, this old man has welcomed the new heir of the Sauk family after a long absence.
Herbert narrowed his eyes and looked at Ilya. He was two years older than Rhines, but he looked like two Rhines.It was clear that Rhines's money-grabbing maid mother was not raising her only child well.
Herbert squatted down slowly. Like many noble young masters, he was tall and strong. The green eyes of the Sauk family were as malicious as two emeralds soaked in venom. Wet through, and you will suffer from frostbite when you return from here."
It was August recently, even if Herbert left half a pair of trousers for Rhines, Rhines would be able to go back by himself.
Rhines shrank himself back a bit, but the right-angled corner had no shielding function at all, it just made him get more dust.
"Why don't you cry?" Herbert pinched the side of the boy's face and pulled him out forcefully, "Cry!"
That piece of milk-like skin quickly turned red, and Rhines' eyes were quickly clouded with mist, but he still bit his lower lip tightly and didn't say a word.
Rhines struggled to step back to the side, his weak legs stepped on Herbert's body, trying to kick him out a little.
Herbert grabbed the sole of the foot that was on his knee, and exerted all his strength.That foot was cool and delicate, and the slender bones in it were hidden under the flesh, almost as if it would break if pinched.
"No, let go, uh..." Rhines let out a cry of pain, and finally made a sound.
Herbert was not satisfied at all, and abruptly twisted the soles of Rhines' feet outward.
"Let go-uh!"
Rhines's legs had been lacking since birth, and the legs of those noble ladies hidden under their skirts were not as slender and beautiful as his.But those two little things were always so fragile that Rhines couldn't even walk for more than an hour, or he would be too painful to get out of bed the next day.
Rhines was dumped by the Duke to the Duchess at the age of seven, and it didn't take long for Herbert to discover his new brother's little secret.
A boy has a voice more beautiful than an oriole, and a body more delicate than a lady.Weak to the point of morbidity, in the past two years, probably due to his age, Rhines' physique has become much stronger than before.
It's a pity, if he could be softer, Herbert would have saved a lot of time.
Herbert sneered, "It hurts so much. Seeing that you can run so far away to hide, I thought you were healed."
Even though Rhines hated sunlight and sports due to physical reasons, in order to avoid Herbert, he would still cross half the manor and come to this small house.
Rhines was like a white fish thrown on the deck, struggling weakly and desperately.But the more he struggled, Herbert clenched harder, and Rhines almost heard the sound of his own bones breaking.
Herbert liked to hear him cry, maybe it was to vent his anger on his mother, or maybe he just couldn't understand Rhines.But after Rhines discovered this, in front of Herbert, the little golden oriole of the Sauk family became a mute.
Herbert lifted Rhines' jaw angrily.
Might have to sleep here tonight, Rhines pursed his lips and thought.
"Master Herbert—Master Herbert! Where are you?" An anxious servant of the Sauk family shouted from a distance.
Herbert's face froze, and he remembered that he was going to hunt with his father today. After being here for so long, the servants probably thought something happened to him.
If it was other things, Herbert could still push it away, but it was impossible to change it to hunting with his father.If you go late, maybe you will be reprimanded.
Herbert looked at Rhines deeply, thinking whether to let him go.The naked and disgusting gaze was as real as it was, making Rhines almost nauseous.
Herbert looked up from his bruised ankle, to Rhines' slender arm, to somewhere in the shadows.
The aristocratic gentlemen's preference for male prostitutes is not lower than those of women, and the patriarch of the Sauk family is even more so.Herbert had grown accustomed to the tricks played upon them.
He grinned, "My dear Rhines, I just remembered that there seems to be no other clothes here."
Of course not here.
Herbert threw something thin and cold on Rhines' body.
It was a vermilion long dress made of silk.
It was left by one of Herbert's lovers, and it smelled of roses.
Rhine avoided it as if he had touched some red soldering iron, he knew what Herbert wanted to do.
He just wanted to force Rhines to put on this lady's dress by himself, and then waited leisurely at the gate of the manor, laughing loudly at Rhines' disgust.
This is not the first time Herbert has done this kind of thing.
The servant outside yelled again, it should be really urgent, the young male servant was already crying.
Herbert glanced back in disgust, and took away the leather gloves that hung on the battered wood.
……
It was not until a long time later that Rhines breathed a sigh of relief.He supported the ground with his porcelain white arms, but he didn't have the strength to support himself to stand up.
He looked like a fledgling abandoned by the side of the road, Rhines knew how messed up he looked, but he couldn't help it.
From birth, he was so weak and delicate. Although his mother used these two words to describe him lovingly, Reines always felt that he was just a waste.
A superfluous existence that should not exist in the world.
This body seemed to be God telling him that even if you were born in this world, you would not get any mercy.
Rhines felt that the corners of his eyes were swollen, and he was blaming himself.But in the end, he stood up while leaning on the railing.
The scarlet satin dress fell to the ground like a pool of thick blood.
Rhines closed his eyes tightly.
The sling was designed with a very low neckline, completely exposing his slender neck, collarbone and a small half of his chest.Like a girl who secretly puts on her underwear.
Rhines' appearance itself was pretty. The only trace left by the Duke on his face was his fair enough skin, and his facial features and posture were completely inherited from his mother.
The soft cloth completely covered his body, like another layer of skin.Ladies would probably like this kind of material very much, but Rhines just felt as if he was not wearing anything.
It was more than an hour's journey from the hut to the Sauk family's manor.When he was outside the manor, Rhines would always find a way to sneak into his room to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.
As long as he can get back before Herbert...
Thinking of this, Rhines limped while supporting the wall and walked towards the old wooden stairs. Every time he landed, the wooden boards would make a creaking sound.Maybe in the next second, they will break because of being overwhelmed, just like the exhausted Rhines.
Outside the hut is a bush that connects to the woods, and they have grown new leaves this season.These jagged leaves will always leave some red marks on Rhines' legs.
He walked to where the stream was, and the grass was more comfortable without bushes.
He lowered his eyes to look at his left foot, the place where it was held just now was already turning blue.It didn't take long for these places to turn from green and red to black and then swell up. It took about three days to heal.
If he wants to go back, he must take advantage of the present.In fact, if he could choose, Rhines would of course want to stay in the wooden house, but there would be wolves coming to look for food at night.
……
Rhines pursed his lips and pulled up the scarlet silk skirt a little, but the skirt was slit high, so that his two fair and slender legs were completely exposed outside.
Embarrassment and a kind of indescribable youthful temptation.
Fortunately, no one was watching him in this area, otherwise Rhines would have been injured in other places besides his feet.
Rhines tried his best to walk as fast as possible, the August sun became scorching in a very short time, and Rhines' exposed skin was slightly tanned.
Another hour of exposure to the sun would cause him to get sunburned, and in severe cases he would even have a fever at night.
Rhines was a little hesitant, at least an hour and a half away from Sauk's house...
Find a place to rest first, Rhines thought.
In the eyes of some people with malicious intentions, many of the special features on Rhines seemed to be born for people to play with him.Weak and beautiful, she could turn red with a little pain, and it would be even better if she was forced to cry a little more.
But these are all natural "disabilities" brought about by his mother's frail body during pregnancy, and they are incurable.
He doesn't even know how long he will live.
Rhines walked towards the lawn by the river beach, where there was a row of tall oak trees, and the shade under the canopy was enough for him to rest temporarily.
At this moment, Rhines suddenly covered his chest.For some reason, a burst of heart palpitations came suddenly.
——At the same time, in the imperial capital across a strait from the Sauk family, a certain palace was experiencing chaos.
"What about things?"
"...Here." The researcher covered in black robes moved a crystal pool out of the ruins.
In the turbid liquid, there was a piece of... meat?
The leader who had more rings on his robe immediately came up to check, his face livid, "Is this the one you found here?"
The researcher was a little apprehensive, "Yes, there are only less than one-third of the specimen left. Fortunately, we cut almost half of it before."
"Damn it!" The leader suddenly dropped the stone window sill.
The place where they stood was hidden enough that even nobles who had lived in the imperial capital for half their lives would probably not know about this palace.Behind the researcher, the pool was empty, and there were reports of overturned test tubes everywhere.
Hundreds of researchers in the same clothes hurried on their feet, with the same pale faces.
No one spoke, but silently searched for something that could be used in the ruins.
"Your Excellency Opern..." After a while, the voice of the researcher next to the leader trembled, "So he is awake, right? Then will we... He will come back and kill us, right?"
……
"uncertain."
Oppern took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket, "We cut off at least half of him, and according to records, during this time, he will re-grow in a juvenile form.
...this is our only chance. "
The author has something to say:
Take a look at the advance receipt: "I will never play strategy games in this life"
Slice Crazy Criticism X Gentle Face Control Neptune Shou
Gu Jin never thought in his life that he would enter the strategy game with no lower limit.
When playing the game:
Gu Jin: "Isn't this just a little mother? If the fragrance is dead, I want a male mother."
Fan: "Come on!"
Gu Jin: "The little wolf dog definitely wants it, I want to rub the abs with the tip of my nose."
Fan: "Post! Post me!"
Gu Jin: "I know I already have two treasures, but I have to pick the flowers of Gaoling."
Fan: "Cai! Depends on the overturned black house!"
Anyway, it's a game, Gu Jin can be as stimulating as possible, Dapeng spreads his wings on the edge of happiness.
Two months later, the game system: "Dear player Gu Jin, please complete the plot according to the script you chose. If the plot collapses, you will never return to reality~"
Gu Jin looked at Luo An who was helping him put on his socks, and the chain of glasses swayed slightly on the side of his face.
"Ah Jin," Luo An raised his head, stroking his ankle with his fingers, "Why are there marks here?"
Because I was bitten by a dog two days ago.
The support from the fans outside was overwhelming, and the big star with sequins on his eyelashes twirled the ring he gave him.
"Brother, this doesn't seem to be my size."
Indeed, it was bought for someone else.
The big guy with clear eyebrows and eyes looked at the document with his head propped on one hand, and the scenery outside the car quickly receded. It seemed that nothing major would happen.
Gu Jin: Cat stall jpg.
"Gu Jin."
Gu Jin: ovo huh?
"The auction house said that you bought an antique watch." Gao Lingzhihua turned the page calmly, "Is it for me?"
No, it's being worn on Roanne's hand right now!
Or a baby rabbit cornered by hounds.
But despite this, he still pursed his lips tightly and refused to make a sound.
The cloth on Rhines' body was almost torn, and even the pair of gray boots on his feet were thrown downstairs.
