As I expected, Xia Ke hasn't come back for almost half a month. Before he left, he had finished all the hacking work and backed it up, which made it easy for the next player to take over.

He has always been considerate, whether it is to people or things.

In the afternoon, I was sitting on the rattan chair swing in the yard, shaking slowly and slowly, holding the eyeball of the subosteosaurus in my hand, watching it bathed in the sun. Slowly turning into sea blue.

The maid next to me was holding a fruit plate and bent slightly towards me. I glanced at her cute and lively face, shook my head, and said softly, "I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes, ma'am."

The appearance of her obediently bowing her head and turning away was exactly the same as her back after being rejected by the knight that day.

In the week half a month ago, although I couldn't say a word to Xia Ke, it's not like I didn't meet him at all.

I was also sitting in this rocking chair that day. The afternoon breeze was blowing and the sun was still. In addition, I was a little tired from thinking about knights, so I took a short nap. , the knight was being dragged by the maid and chattering about something.

It was a little far away and I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I was about to get up, but I saw the maid hugging the knight with a flushed face. All disappeared, I let go of the armrest, and slowly leaned back.

After watching the knight push away the maid, and said something to her with a gentle smile on her face, the maid calmed down somewhat even though there were still tears in her eyes, bowed slightly to pay her respects, and then left .

The knight looked in my direction, although I had a lot to say to him, but I knew he was avoiding me on purpose, so I closed my eyes and returned to the way I was when I was asleep, waited for a while, and after confirming that he had left , I slowly opened my eyes.

The knight is tall, handsome, knowledgeable, and kind. It is a matter of course that he is popular, but because there is no comparison before, I just wishful thinking that the gentleness of the knight towards me is a good impression.

In fact, his gentleness is simply treating everyone equally.

"Miss."

Spein walked to my side and said, "My lord, please go to the drawing room."

"Understood," I stood up and carefully put the eyeballs of the Naya Orthopedic Dragon into the hidden pocket of the dress, and asked casually, "Is there a visitor?"

"It's the head of the Case family and the young master visiting."

"what?"

As soon as I heard the name Alman Keith, I was very annoyed. This guy must have hated me for throwing red wine at the banquet that day when he was so good-looking. Today's visit must be a bad person.

I came to the living room with some anxiety, but the atmosphere inside was very harmonious. Arman even stood up and opened the stool for me: "Long time no see, Miss Linsa."

His appearance as a hypocrite gentleman only made me sick, but since his father, Adam Case, was also present, I put away my disgust and sat down and thanked him gently: "Thank you."

Obviously just came to visit, but that Mr. Adam is wearing gold and silver, and even a tight suit can't cover his huge beer belly. He squinted and smiled, and the creases on his face seemed to squeeze out the nouveau riche "Mr. Albert, look! The picture of these two children staying together is so eye-catching. The word 'talented and beautiful' is tailor-made for them!"

The father echoed with a smile: "You are right, Mr. Adam."

As he said that, he turned his head and glared at me, saying: "Linsha, haven't you apologized to Xiaoman for the rude thing you did at the banquet earlier?"

I pursed my lips and raised my eyes to look around. The Keith father and son didn't speak, they just waited for me to speak leisurely with the posture of a superior, especially Yarman, who seemed to have nothing to do with his lips. sarcastic smile.

Although I was full of resentment in my heart, the gentle and calm smiling face of the chivalrous man appeared in front of my eyes, so I imitated his smile, looked directly at Arman, and said with a smile: "Mr. Arman, then It's because Linsa is not mature enough, and she did such impolite things on the spur of the moment when she was provoked by your angry joke, please allow me to apologize to you here."

I gave him enough steps to define those shameless rogue words as "jokes", but I also explained the whole story. Without his "jokes", I would not have done anything beyond the etiquette.

After I finished speaking, Adam Keith stood up pretending to be a good person and smoothed things over: "Okay, it must be a misunderstanding. Of course, the dog has some inappropriate words. Please forgive me, Miss Linsha."

I smiled and nodded.

After the father exchanged pleasantries with Adam Case for a while, Adam coughed, took a sip from his teacup, and said slowly: "That's the end of the gossip, we should get into the topic, next month's NO. 18 should be the day when Miss Linsa's coming-of-age banquet will be held, right? I think the engagement ceremony between the Keith family and the Nestola family can also be arranged after that."

got engaged?Absolutely not.

Not to mention that I like chivalrous men, Yarman's one set of devil temper behind another, after I get married, I will only be treated like a toy.

I didn't care about being reprimanded by my father in the future, so I bite the bullet and said, "I'm still young, and I'm bound to be reckless and impulsive. Naturally, I can't get into Mr. Arman's eyes. Mr. Arman is so good, he must be affected by it." Women are welcome, you should also have someone you like, right?"

"The person you like? Of course I have it," Alman said jokingly, "Isn't it you, Miss Linsa?"

I said with a dry smile, "We've only met a few times, so stop joking, Mr. Yarman."

Arman's eyes were full of sarcasm, but he pretended to be affectionate and said: "Don't Miss Linsa know that there is a word in this world called 'love at first sight'? When I met you for the first time a few years ago I was deeply fascinated by you, but now you are trying to shirk this marriage again and again, could it be..."

He narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "You also have someone you like?"

Yarman has followed Adam in the mall since he was a child, taking both black and white. Naturally, I can't compare his thick skin and handling of things. Now he is cornered by him.

The eyes of the three of them were fixed on me, especially my father, as if as long as I said "yes", he would be able to tear me apart and eat me in the next second.

To be honest, I was very scared. In the past, my father made decisions for me no matter what. Sometimes even if it was something I hated, due to my father's authority and my own weak personality, I would choose to accept it. But At this moment, I don't want to be an obedient boy like before. I really want to be with the person I really like.

I stretched out my hand silently, and pinched the eyeball of the suborthopedic dragon through the material of the cloth. After taking a deep breath, I replied, "Yes, I do have someone I like."

"...It seems that the Stola family intends not to marry the Keith family." Before his father could speak, Adam narrowed his eyes, stood up shaking while leaning on the table, "then there is nothing to talk about today. Now, let's discuss about the engagement later, son, let's go."

After Keith and his son left, the reception room was terribly quiet. My father sat there holding his brows. I knew he was extremely angry, so I shrank aside and didn't dare to irritate him again.

"...Who is that kid?"

Hearing my father's question, I bit my lip and shook my head. The chivalrous man had nothing to do with this matter, and besides, it was my wishful thinking towards him all along, and I didn't want to involve him.

"You think I don't know if you don't say a word, do you? Knight, it's him, right?"

I was startled and frightened, and quickly denied it: "No, it's not..."

Unexpectedly, my father slammed down the table, got up and dragged my wrist and walked out: "I will settle the score with you later on the matter of you disobeying me and refusing to marry the Keith family, and now you have learned to lie, right? "

My father took me to the monitoring room, and ordered his servants to pull out the video, which showed the picture of kissing the knight half a month ago when I found out that he had left without saying goodbye.

unambiguous evidence.

In a rage, my father grounded me and ordered me not to go out until next month's coming-of-age ceremony, and told me not to think about the matter with the knight, and to be ready to marry into the Keith family.

I feel sad for my own powerlessness, just like the canary in the cage. Although beautiful, it is just a pet for others to watch.Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, would things be different if I were Eliza?

I haven't had an appetite for food for three days in a row. My father, who was so busy negotiating with the Keith family about business matters, heard the report from the housekeeper, and just said coldly: "Whatever she wants, miss won't eat. , and threw away the food to feed the dogs."

In the past few years, my father has become strange and scary. Maybe he is just angry, or maybe he is really too busy to care about my situation. I try to think of excuses to comfort myself.

The door was knocked again, and I sat on the window sill with my eyes closed and blowing the night wind, and said softly: "I don't have an appetite to eat, so don't use it to persuade me."

But the servant continued to knock on the door persistently, and I couldn't help frowning: "I said I don't want to eat."

There was a moment of silence behind me, but there was the sound of opening the door. Anyway, it was a bit too much to ignore my young lady's order. I turned my head to ask questions, but saw the knight who hadn't seen him for half a month holding a Tray stood at the door and looked at me with a smile.

It was clearly late autumn, but he was wearing his sleeveless red T-shirt and white trousers again. His bangs seemed to have been trimmed and shortened, but his bright green eyes were still shining as before.

Seeing me staring at him blankly, he blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Xiaosha, are you really not going to eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll just take it away?"

I bit my lips and looked at him in disbelief. The sense of grievance that I had been holding back since he left was like a tide, which made him panic: "Hey, hey, I just opened a Just kidding, I won't take the food away, don't cry..."

"I thought you would never come back again..." I cried like a child, sobbing and bewildered, wiped my nose and tears fell again, "I thought that even if you came back, you would never talk to me again... "

"how could be?"

He closed the door and walked to my side. Before he put down the tray, I hugged my waist. Thanks to his sharp eyes and hands, he quickly stabilized his center of gravity, so he didn't spill the soup.

I didn't feel at ease until I felt the smell and temperature of the knight, and felt that he was by my side. There are still a lot of things to be solved, but the strange thing is that as long as the knight is by my side, everything seems to be the same. It doesn't matter anymore.

"Hurry up and eat," he patted my head with one free hand, and said softly, "I haven't seen you in a while, you've lost a lot of weight."

I hugged him tightly, stubbornly refusing to let go, just shook my head vigorously: "I don't want to be locked in the room, I don't want to marry Arman, I, I miss you so much...I really want You knight..."

"I miss you as well."

When I heard this sentence from the top of my head, I couldn't help being startled, and the tears that had finally stopped flowed out again. I don't know how much sincerity and how much falsehood he kept when he said this, all I know is that I Just his words are enough.
