substitute

On August 1999, 8, because the annual large-scale underground auction was approaching, Youkexin City was much more lively than ever.

After I closed the door of the clinic, I found that it was drizzling outside. The morning weather forecast clearly said that it would be cool and cloudy all day today. Could it be that God gave a surprise in advance for the auction the day after tomorrow?

I was afraid that the rain would become heavier and I would have to go back to cook for the children, so I quickened my pace.

Just after turning the corner, the intersection not far away showed a green light, and I was about to trot over, but someone grabbed my wrist and pushed my body against the wall behind.

I looked up in surprise, and this person turned out to be Arman Keith, who I thought would never have anything to do with him again in eight lifetimes.

Yarman grabbed my arm with one hand, propped the other on the wall behind me, and said with a grin: "Long time no see, my ex-fiancee."

There are a lot of traffic and pedestrians on this road, but Youkexin City has always been a place that is relatively open to the love between men and women, and it is still raining, many people just glanced at us in a hurry, not wanting to get involved in this thing.

I glanced sideways at my tightly grasped right hand, and slowly shifted my gaze to Arman's face, then turned my head back and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Arman?"

Maybe it was because I didn't see his expected expression on my face, which made him a little unhappy, but I saw him frowning slightly, and then stretched the space between his brows, and said: "I haven't seen you for so many years, Miss Linsha is getting more and more beautiful, woman Full of flavor."

He leaned closer and whispered in my ear: "I heard that you were raped/raped by a man on your birthday. Did this open the door to a new world and have been raped by many men?"

I deepened the smile on my face, and retorted: "I heard that Mr. Yarman will be finished in three seconds on the bed. Do you need me to introduce you to a reliable doctor to see the situation?"

"You..." Yarman's face darkened, and he threatened in a low voice, "Do you think you are still the young lady who has the backing of Nie Stola? Even if I take you back to torture you now, there will be no harm." Someone is here to save you!"

I couldn't help laughing out loud, and glanced casually past the two bodyguards in front of Case's car behind him, and said, "Try it if you have the ability."

Arman didn't know where the strong self-confidence in me came from. He didn't let his bodyguard act rashly. He just looked at me for a few seconds, then released the restraint on me, smoothed the folds of his suit, and recovered. With the usual appearance of a beast in clothes, he said: "Did you know that there will be a large underground auction in Tianyou Kexin? I can let you attend with me as my female companion."

I was a little puzzled by his commanding tone like charity: "Where do you come from so confident that I will answer your begging?"

Arman raised his eyebrows uncomfortably at the word "begging", and said, "Although I really don't want to admit it, you are indeed the most exquisite-looking woman I have ever seen, and you used to be from the Nestola family Miss, bringing you here will definitely give me a lot of face. I heard that this auction has an eyeball of an orthopedic dragon. Didn’t you compete with me for such a thing back then? If you accompany me this time Attend, and I promise that no matter how much it costs, I will take it and give it to you."

The eyeballs of a subskeletal dragon?

"unnecessary."

"what?"

I said softly, "I don't need that kind of thing."

"Master," a bodyguard stepped forward and said respectfully, "It's almost time."

Yarman nodded, turned around, and said, "You answer me after you think it through. I will send someone to pick you up in three days."

After that, he got into the car and walked away.

I've said that I don't need it, and this bastard's selfish and arrogant character has not changed at all.

Although the rain was falling densely, it was still as thin as a needle point, as light as a cow's hair, and fell silently.

Being interrupted by Yarman, I suddenly lost the interest to go home. I walked around in the smoky drizzle with my eyes downcast. Because there was a red light ahead, I stopped at the crossroads. .

There were two people holding an umbrella on the opposite side, looking like a couple. I glanced at the red light and there were still ten seconds left in the countdown. Lifting up suddenly, I met the man's eyes.

My breath was suddenly suffocated, and my body suddenly couldn't move.

He was wearing a black shirt and white trousers, standing tall and straight, showing his beautiful muscular lines, his handsome face remained, and his clean temperament still remained, his brown hair had a beautiful circle of honey-golden light, and his bangs were finely chopped There is a faint luster flowing in the green eyes that are like emerald glass, so dazzling that I can't take my eyes off them.

All the surrounding noises seemed to disappear, leaving me and his eyes glued to each other in the rain.

The countdown to the red light has jumped to the fifth second.

I noticed the pretty girl in the little light blue dress next to him holding his arm.

Fourth second.

I found my breath and my heartbeat.

Third second.

I ignored the dull pain that was growing in my left chest.

Second second.

I withdrew my gaze and looked straight ahead without squinting.

Last second.

I had a perfect, serene smile on my face.

The green light, I stepped forward, they came towards me, the distance was getting closer and closer, but they passed by each other like strangers, the girl's sweet Wu Nong soft words came into my voice In the ear: "Xia Ke, I fancy a new dress, can you buy it for me later?"

I heard him gently reply: "Okay."

——"Xia Ke, which one looks better, this blue dress or the white dress?"

——"Choose this one, the white dress will match your golden hair better."

I couldn't help but turned my head in the crowd, the girl had waist-length blonde curly hair, and she looked exactly like me from the back.

Presumably, this girl is the regular female companion beside the knight that Yiermi and Hisoka mentioned.

A boy who lowered his head to answer the message accidentally bumped into me and complained, "What are you doing standing in the middle of the road?"

He followed my line of sight and turned around, and said blankly: "Beauty, did you drop something?"

I came back to my senses and smiled: "Yes."

As early as four years ago, my heart was lost by me along with the eyeball of the suborthopedic dragon, and I don't know where it fell.

"That can't stand in the middle of the road." He dragged me to the opposite side, looked at the time, and said, "Is it something important? How about I look for it with you?"

I shook my head and thanked politely: "No need, I probably can't find it back."

On the night of August 8, when it was close to nine o’clock, the doorbell rang suddenly. I asked Sasha to open the door, and I heard him say in surprise, “Mom, Sister Maggie is here.”

I don't know when this child stopped being called "Aunt Maggie" as I taught him, but changed to "Sister".

I quickly got up and wanted to hug her: "Maggie, why are you here?"

Unsurprisingly, after being dodged by her, she heard her ask: "You won't go to the underground auction tomorrow night, will you?"

"Of course not, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow, the brigade will have an event with all members dispatched. The target is all the treasures of this auction. I am not in charge of the auction site. If you go, you may die."

I didn't expect Maggie to come here on purpose to give me a reminder just in case, and I couldn't help but feel warm, and said: "Thank you Maggie, I understand."

"There's a lot of free time, and he's here too."

I understood the hidden meaning in her words, hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "Actually, I saw him on the road today, and the girl beside him."

"...You mean Beth?" Maggie frowned and said, "He accidentally rescued him on the side of the road more than half a year ago, but he fell in love with him at first sight and followed him everywhere, saying that he would be a 'substitute' It doesn't matter, heh..."

Maggie's cold smile contained undisguised mockery, and she didn't know whether it was aimed at the knight or Beth: "That's the situation, do you have anything else to ask?"

Seeing me shaking my head, Maggie turned around and said, "That's all for now, I'm leaving first."

Before I could make a sound to persuade me to stay, Keersha trotted over, hugged Maggie's leg, and said coquettishly, "Sister Maggie, don't go, you haven't come to visit us for a long time, today is the day Stay and sleep with Xiao Ke?"

"..."

Maggie glanced down at Keersha who was on her lap, raised her eyes and motioned for me to solve it.

I smiled and said, "Let's stay and sleep together today."

"..."

On the morning of September 9st, Maggie said she was going to gather and left early in the morning. I went to the clinic for business as usual, but I didn't want a person dressed as a bodyguard to block me at the door and said, "Excuse me, is this Miss Linsha?"

"Yes?"

"Master Arman is here to invite you."

Is that bastard for real?

Not to mention that I didn't plan to go at all, just because Maggie gave me instructions, I couldn't go to the Hongmen Banquet itself.

I was thinking about whether I should use force to drive away the bodyguard, when he suddenly picked up the phone: "It's me... what? Don't you need it?... Miss Nion's divination? Okay, I get it .”

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly to me, then turned and left.

"..."

No matter what the reason is, it would be a great thing to give up on the initiative.

It was already evening after returning home, maybe it was because the street outside was too lively today, Keersha was clamoring for me to take her out to play, but I had a headache, so I asked Sasha if I wanted to go with her.

He was not very interested, saying that the next door bought a new type of computer, and Mrs. Madeleine's son Nora had been inviting him to play there.

I also took Sasha to the next door, and after telling him not to cause trouble to Ms. Madeleine's house, I led Keersha out.

There are lights and festoons everywhere on the road, and there are all kinds of small competitions in the form of auctions. Kersa wandered around here and there, and I was a little tired at the end. She was still licking the cotton candy I bought for her, looking energetic It seems that when she grows up, she will be a good shopper.

"Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma," she said while pulling my hand, her eyes sparkling, "It's so lively over there, shall we go and have a look?"

"Okay, baby, run slowly."

She happily pulled me over to join in the fun, pointing to a box held in the arms of a silver-haired boy, and said: "Ma Ma, that ring is so beautiful, isn't it?"

I took a closer look, the ring was very beautiful, but the little brother who was wandering around holding the ring was very familiar, but...

I was surprised: "Qi, Qiya?"

"Huh?" Qi Ya turned his head when he heard the sound, then widened his cute cat eyes, and said, "Linsa? Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? My family just lives here, why am I here," I said speechlessly, "Didn't your elder brother mention it to you?"

Qi Ya touched his head: "I said it, but I forgot."

As Qi Ya approached, Ke Ersha's eyes became brighter and brighter, like a pool of clear green lake water, and she raised her head and stretched out her hand to pull Qi Ya's clothes, saying: "Brother, you are so handsome."

I:"……"

I originally thought that Sasha had a good way of picking up girls, but did Keersha also hide her tricks?

Qi Ya looked down at her, then at me, and asked, "Is this, Kersa?"

Kersha nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, brother, do you know Xiao Ke?"

"Not only did I know you, I even hugged you when you were a child," Qi Ya looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I can't tell that it was the little monkey at that time, um, you are more beautiful than Linsha."

I was not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but I saw Keersha tugging at Qiya again, and said, "Brother, you are so handsome, can you show me this ring? I'll treat you to cotton candy!"

As she said that, she really handed over the marshmallow that was licked by her and was full of saliva.

Qi Ya really deserves to be a real sugar controler, he can find a place to eat such a horrible cotton candy.

While eating, he handed the ring to Ke Ersha, and said, "I'll have to return it later, if I give you the prize, Leorie might beat me up."

"Is Leorio here too?"

"Well, not only Leorio, but also Xiaojie."

As he spoke, Qi Ya pouted his lips back.

I looked at Leorio, the host over there, and Xiaojie, who was in full swing during the game, and then turned my gaze back to Chiya, who was teasing Kersa, and couldn't help but smile. The child who was lifeless when I met for the first time It's great to be able to make close friends now.

I took Kersa to visit Leorie and Xiaojie, and after hearing about their competition rules, I couldn't help but think that the knights had taken me to participate in similar competitions before, and he told me about this kind of roadside liar Ordinary people have no chance of winning at all.

I can see that Xiaojie who participated in the competition and Qi Ya who is holding the prize are full of Nian Qi. Although Leori is much inferior, he has learned Nian Qi after all.

I think it's almost time, and I'm going to take Kersa home, Leori is quite reluctant to part, but Kersa is reluctant to part with Qiya, and said: "Brother, you must come to Xiaoke's house to play when you are free. If the prize is also there, bring it with you too."

This sentence made me a little confused whether Keersha was reluctant to part with Qi Ya or the diamond ring in his hand.

******

Xiaodi, who lost to Xiaojie, returned to Franklin, regretting: "That diamond is really beautiful, that kid is too strong."

Franklin comforted: "You are left-handed, why did you wrestle his wrist with your right hand?"

"Ah, that's right," Xiao Di suddenly realized, "Because they said to stretch out their right hand, I used my right hand to compare. I really want to go back and challenge again."

"No, there is no time. Besides, we are thieves, so we shouldn't use the method of competition to obtain things."

Franklin looked at Fei Tan who was still looking at the competition booth, and said, "Fei Tan, what's wrong with you?"

"……nothing."

Fei Tan glanced at the figure of the woman who seemed to have known him before, then squinted at the little luotou beside her, looked away, and said, "I must have recognized the wrong person, let's go."

******

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when I got home with Ke Ersha, she and Sasha usually go to bed at nine o'clock, this little guy was already yawning all the way, I picked Sasha back, he was also tired appearance.

After taking them to wash up, I may have been a little tired these two days, and soon fell asleep with them.

The vigilance and perception of people with telekinetic ability are much higher than that of ordinary people. When I noticed movement at the door downstairs, I immediately opened my eyes and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was two o'clock in the night.

Without disturbing the children, I went downstairs in a low voice, the movement over there was getting louder and louder, and the pores on my body were full of vigilance.

As soon as I arrived at the door, the locked iron door had already been pried open and opened. I didn't even want to swipe at the man with a thoughtful palm, but I was caught by someone.

I was about to break free when the man said, "Linsha."

This voice that had penetrated deep into my heart made me freeze in place, and I felt timid in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, I raised my head tremblingly, and in front of me was the handsome face of the knight with a gentle and gentle smile.

The author has something to say:
