Chapter 31

Both of them forgot to draw the curtains before going to bed last night, and the sunlight covered Benoit's face like a satin, waking him up early.

Benoit opened his eyes and looked at Nibel, who was facing him, his face was an arm's length away.At this time, Nibel was facing the light, and his hair was outlined in light brown by the light, exuding a faint halo.He got up and tried to draw the curtains, but his hair was held down by Nibel, and Nibel woke up when he pulled it out.

Nibel opened his eyes slightly: "Is Dr. Sun here?"

"No, we're not in Psyche." Benoit said while thinking, fortunately, now that Nibel's acupuncture has been changed to three times a week, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back for a day.

The pear tree outside has sprouted some small flower buds, giving off lazy warmth.Looking at Nibel's half-opened eyes, Benoit felt that his face was fairer than usual, and his eyelashes were longer than usual.He thought for a while and asked again: "I forgot to ask you last night, why did we come to the neighboring city? Do you know that there may be clues about Basile here?"

Nibel turned over and lay face up, covering his eyes with his hands: "Not all. Part of it is because I don't want to be found that I don't even have a place to live in Roswell's house."

"What about the other part?" Benoit got up to wash up.

"Before, when we met in the tailor shop, I came with him."

"I remember, we all lived here. But I didn't see him that time."

"Generally speaking, the servants live in the servant's room, unless the master declares that the servant will live with him. But when I came back that time, he slept on the sofa."

"He came up by himself?"

"Well, I asked him later, and he said he came to help me clean up. Because he had been acting cowardly and cowardly at that time, I didn't doubt it too much."

"and then?"

"I met Mrs. Mill here before I went upstairs that day. She rushed out of the building in a panic. I chased her out, but the doorman fell asleep and didn't see her. But she is a weak woman who can run faster than Am I still fast? I didn’t even see her shadow all the way.”

"Mrs. Mill? Did she come alone?"

"Before that, she came to me and begged me to do her a favor. I asked her what was the matter, and she didn't say anything. She met Basile that day and sat on the ground in fright. I thought she was just being called by someone. I was taken aback, now it seems that my thinking was too simple."

"You mean that she and Basile knew each other, or that Basile had something to do with her?"

"I don't know the specifics, I just have doubts. I suddenly remembered yesterday that the former owner of the Thrush Hotel was a Frenchman, but he passed away two years ago. There are rumors that he passed on the property to his adopted son, of course We all knew it was his illegitimate child."

"Mr. Leroy? I met him a few years ago. He was about my father's age. We didn't expect him to be so suddenly..."

"Yes, but his illegitimate son has never been seen in public, and we don't know what he looks like."

"You don't think..."

"I'm just guessing. After all, there are no clues now. I can only kill the mouse." Nibel put down his hand and got under the quilt again.continued:

"I originally wanted to ask the employees here, thinking that the boss can never hide from the employees forever."

"Then why didn't you ask yesterday?"

"My room was booked by someone with your last name."

"I think the name Ruixi is very familiar, but I can't remember it for a while."

"It's a brand of perfume. This person probably picked up a fake name at random. If Basile booked the room, ask the staff who receive him and he will naturally know if he is the boss here."

"Using a pseudonym to show that he doesn't want to be recognized, but booking a room in the name of Guy, and feeling that he wants to be discovered by us. This person is so strange."

Nibel sighed: "Let's take a step and see. Can you close the curtains for me? I'm still a little sleepy."

So Benoit got up and drew the curtains, and there was a pear blossom outside, which only opened a little.He thought for a while, then lay back on the bed and got under the covers.

The quilt is warm, and after a night, it exudes the scent of Benoit's usual perfume, which makes people unable to help but relax.Benoit moved closer to Niebel, feeling the heat from his body through the thin pajamas.

"Hurry up and sleep." Nibel closed his eyes in a daze.Benoit looked at Nibel's side face, pursed his lips and did not answer, and kept laughing.

After not sleeping for a while, there was a knock on the door.Fortunately, Benoit was not asleep, he jumped out of bed to open the door, and saw Tom standing outside the door.

"Why so early?" Benoit stood up and made room for Tom.

"Is it early?" Tom panicked and went to see Benoit cautiously, for fear that he would get angry, and grabbed his cuffs: "I waited for a while..."

He is no longer wearing an oversized shirt today, but a well-fitting school uniform, which makes him look energetic.

"Are you going to school today?" Benoit asked, "I've been waiting for a long time, sorry, just sit down. What do you want to eat?"

"No, I ate an egg on the way here."

"How can one egg be enough? You are just growing up." Benoit entered the bedroom and wanted to wake Nibel up, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he still didn't speak, and went into the bathroom to wash up.After washing and walking out, he realized that there was no food in the room, and smiled awkwardly at Tom: "I forgot, breakfast hasn't come yet, sorry."

Tom was still standing, and Benoit told him to sit still, and he didn't move until the door was knocked again, and the waiter brought the breakfast, then he turned and ran to the door to help bring the breakfast in.

There was breakfast for two on the plate, two bowls of oatmeal and two sandwiches.Benoit broke his sandwich in two and gave half to Tom.

"Mr. Guy, I really don't need it!" Tom blushed anxiously: "I'm not hungry, sir!"

Just after waking up, Benoit's complexion was not good, and his lips were a little pale. Tom felt how he could compete with this kind of patient for food, so he quickly shied away.

Seeing this, Benoit stopped forcing him, picked up the oatmeal by himself, took a spoon to drink it, and asked Tom while drinking, "Don't you have to go to school?"

"Not today."

Seeing Tom's dodging eyes, Benoit knew that the kid was lying.But he just smiled and told Tom to sit down, his tone a little forceful.Tom was just sitting on the edge of the sofa, and those who didn't know thought he was walking.

Just when Nibel woke up, he walked out of the bedroom, squinted his eyes to look at the living room, and found that there was another person, and asked, "Tom is here? Benoit, why don't you let him sit down, how tired he is from squatting."

Benoit laughed and put down the oatmeal quickly for fear of spilling it.Tom blushed, and sat down a little: "Mr. Roswell, I'm sitting. Mr. Guy didn't let me sit."

"Okay." Nibel turned and went into the bathroom.

The sandwich was filled with bacon and ham, and a large lettuce leaf.Knowing that Nibel didn't like lettuce very much, Benoit helped him take out the lettuce and put it back.

"Where is your home?" Benoit asked Tom.

"Psyche."

"Psyche?" Benoit put the sandwich away and stuffed the vegetable leaves into his mouth: "What's your last name?"

"Wilton."

Benoit stopped: "Is your father's name George?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Nibel came out of the bathroom, looked at Benoit who was holding his hand, and looked at Tom who was holding Benoit's hand, and fell silent.He walked over and stood beside Benoit: "What are you doing?"

Benoit let go of his hand and rubbed Tom's head: "This kid is George's son. Last time his parents came to visit us."

"It's him?" Nibel looked at Tom: "Why don't you go to school?"

"Not today," Tom replied.After learning that Benoit and himself are fellow villagers, he obviously relaxed a lot.George and the others didn't mention Benoit in front of Tom, so they didn't recognize him at first.

Nibel snorted: "No need to go? I think you don't want to go." He picked up the sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth: "But it's okay. It's not interesting to go to school. If you don't want to go to school, you can't go to it. It's no big deal."

"No..." Tom sat back on the sofa, leaning his arms on his thighs: "I really don't need to go today."

"Why did you travel so far to go to school in a neighboring city? There are good schools in our city too."

"The tuition is cheaper here," Tom replied.

Niebel sat next to Benoit and did not speak.After the two finished eating, Tom took them out.
