[Comprehensive] Light and Shadow

"Vincent's body will be handed over to you."

The body of the butler standing beside the woman was stiff, and waves finally appeared in his usually cold and calm eyes.

"I just want his blood."

The woman's voice was indifferent and calm, the face looking at Wen Sen was calm and elegant, and the grief and despair before were no longer in those eyes, even though looking at Wen Sen was like staring at a stranger's corpse indifferently .

"Ma'am, are you sure you want to do this?" The housekeeper, who never questioned women's decisions too much, confirmed it once after being silent for a while.Vincent's body has been frozen, and the wife's words mean that no matter what happens to the boy's body, as long as the blood in his body remains.

"Hmm." The woman nodded slightly, then turned her head and looked up at the housekeeper, "Is there any problem?"

The butler's eyes were cloudy and hollow, lowered, as if he didn't recognize the woman in front of him.

"Madam, isn't Master Vincent your baby?"

The old housekeeper's voice was gloomy and hoarse, and when the words came out, his throat was so dry that it hurt a little.

"Yes, of course." The woman's answer was very positive. When she said this, the corners of her mouth raised, her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be filled with love, but when the woman turned her head and looked at the corpse on the bed At that time, the expression in his eyes gradually turned cold, and there was still some disgust, "But this is not."

Her baby is not a cold corpse. How could this bluish face, stiff body, and bony body in front of her be her baby?The woman frowned slightly, then looked away feeling a little disgusted.

The butler looked at the woman blankly, his lips moved slightly.

"I'll leave it to you." The woman seemed to no longer want to stay in this place, and she always felt that she could smell the stench of corpses. She stood up, her face still elegant and indifferent, and stepped out of the door step by step with high heels .

The old butler stood where he was, the wrinkles on his forehead still couldn't be stretched. This man who was determined to be cold seemed to be aging rapidly at this moment, and finally heaved a deep sigh.

Master Vincent is right, crazy, everyone in this family is crazy, everyone is crazy about jealousy.

Jealous of everything around him and everything he has.

【Master, you seduced Madam. 】

The dark heart is crazily jealous, and the selfish heart hates and hates his existence from the very beginning.

What he will never be able to get, but this young man has it easily. Everything is obtained because he can't ask for it, so he is jealous, jealous of what he sees, hears, touches, and gets.Even though he knew that the young man was desperately begging for redemption, he just closed his eyes indifferently, his heart was empty and peaceful.

The bright and bright smile of that young girl in memory has now turned into a cold and haughty face.

It has changed, everything has changed.

The old butler lowered his deep eyes slightly, and slowly pulled the white cloth up, covering the boy's face.

He always thought it was Chris who shouldn't have met Vincent, but the real thing was that Vincent shouldn't have met Chris.

What is there to be jealous of? ——just, the victim of a pathetic jealousy.

The man stretched out his hand to hug the boy, but he hesitated for a moment when his hand touched the white cloth. Then, with lowered eyebrows, he stretched out his right hand and slowly pulled the white cloth down. Little by little, the boy's face reappeared in front of his eyes , For the first time, there was a look of pity and pain for the young man in the man's eyes.

Maybe, even Chris doesn't know how much her baby loves her.Regardless of whether she is or not, she is regarded by Vincent as the most important mother, the only relative in the world, and family affection is always more important than love.

Does Vincent really like that person named Leo?That person is just a person he met by chance outside the world, and the liking he said is just liking. There is nothing wrong with liking someone who is good to you.

It's just a person who has met a few times, how can it be more important than the mother who has taken care of him for more than ten years.

Such a simple matter, but only Chris couldn't see clearly.

A person who has only known each other for a few months can say "as long as you say it, I will believe it", with that kind of trusting and serious eyes, it seems that as long as Vincent says a word, he can immediately do everything for him the same as the beginning;

However, the mother of more than ten years can imprison him with a cold and vicious face, spit out cruel and cold words every word that hurts his heart, hurt him wantonly without scruples, and watch him struggle in pain with happy eyes ...

The real pain is not the body, but the spirit.

The teenager curled up in the black box and cried loudly, not for Vincent, but for Chris.

Chris will never see, the love this boy gave her.

The man raised his cloudy eyes and stared blankly at the curtains, then slowly walked over and stretched out his hands to open the curtains. A large swath of sunlight fell, golden fragments scattered on the white cloth, and the boy's cold and bruised face seemed to be stained with a touch of tinge. warmth.

"Master, it's time to get up."

The butler closed the curtains as before, then turned his head to look at the cold body on the bed, his voice was calm and hoarse.

When he said these words, the man felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

【Vincent's body will be handed over to you, all I want is his blood. 】

The butler walked up to the boy, looked at the boy's silent face, then lowered his eyes and put his hand on the boy's forehead.

"Master, you can sleep peacefully."

The sleeping world will definitely be much cleaner and happier than this world.

"God bless you."

The man once again covered the boy's face with the white veil, then leaned over and picked up the boy and walked towards the open door.

"Forgive me." The man lowered his eyes and murmured softly, his eyes were empty but showed a kind of firmness, that kind of firmness was more like a kind of determination, he left the light behind, and walked towards the dark hell without hesitation.

This road is not over yet, no matter what the ending is, he will accompany Chris to the end.

***

"What the hell did you sell to that woman!"

The man sitting on the ornate wooden carved sofa is elegantly sipping tea, in stark contrast to the irascible man sitting opposite.The count raised his eyes and looked at Leo helplessly. This guy's temper has been getting worse and worse recently. The count put the teacup back on the tea table with one hand, propped his chin with the other hand, and leaned lazily on the chair. On the hand, black hair scattered around the corner of the eyes, "Leo, do you care what I sold, or what Vincent bought?"

"How could Vincent come to your store to buy pets!" Leo retorted subconsciously.

"So? Do you think I will make up those words to deceive Mrs. Chris, and then give away the treasures of our shop?" The earl's voice was light, with a slightly raised tail, with a strange charm, as if a little With a chuckle, "Also, I know Mr. Vincent, that's a definite fact."

"He..." won't lie to me.

Leo silently denied it in his heart, no matter how much he thought about Vincent's expression that he didn't know the earl and Chinatown at that time, it was impossible to fake it.But what the earl said was not unreasonable, but Leo didn't want to doubt Vincent in his heart.

He promised, no, promised, as long as Vincent said he would believe it.Perhaps it was because of the persistent paranoia in his heart and the painful guilt that could not be alleviated all the time, he acquiesced in this promise even more in his heart, even if it was unreasonable, he would stubbornly believe what Vincent said.

"Why are you so serious?" The count sighed softly, looking at Leo's frowning brows and tense face, he seemed unable to understand why the human beings in front of him must be obsessed with such trivial matters, "Mr. Vincent is dead , Believe it or not is meaningless. But since you want to know, I can tell you."

Leo froze for a moment, then immediately stared at the count seriously, almost holding his breath to listen to the following words.

"Mr. Vincent bought a snake, but this treasure has another identity." The earl raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, and there was a strange light in the strange-colored pupils. The right hand was slowly raised, the slender and white index finger was lightly erected in front of the lips, and the voice sank softly:

"—It's a demon."

"Don't, don't be joking!" Leo's body shook, and then suddenly roared loudly, but he felt a little palpitation for no reason.How could this kind of thing be possible, Leo said to himself over and over again in his heart, but his subconscious seemed to be invaded by something, a feeling of panic entered his mind, and his uncontrollable premonition became stronger and stronger, "How could the devil or something Yes! And you still want to say, you keep demons as pets!"

"Human beings are always so immodest, confining the world to their own narrow cognition." The earl put his index finger down, and said with some sighs, the corner of his mouth still had that faint smile, but the smile was not enough. In the bottom of his eyes, this expression gave Leo the illusion of being completely isolated, "You don't know, and you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Actually speaking, I'm just taking care of it." The count stood up and walked towards a place, his blue robe fluttering slightly with his steps. When the count returned, he held a The thin paper was handed to Leo.

Leo took the paper, and at a glance, he knew it was a contract. He had also seen other people's contracts for buying pets here.Just looking at it seriously, Leo stared at it with wide eyes in disbelief, his hands holding the paper trembled slightly.

[There are three things to note:

[-]. Don't let others see him.[-]. Daily feeding with his master's blood.[-]. Don't try to wake him up. 】

"What's the meaning of the second article! What is feeding with blood!" Leo said in shock, raised his eyes and stared angrily at the indifferent Earl, and when he saw Vincent's last signature, his heart welled up A strange feeling, "Vincent, even if he really came, how could he sign such a thing!"

Breeding pets with blood, who would do such a thing!And the earl said it was a demon, what the hell is that!Vincent, why on earth did he come here to buy such a pet.damn it!How many things did he keep from telling?

"Leo, don't you really understand?" The earl narrowed his eyes slightly, but stared at Leo seriously.

"Understand what?" Leo asked back, but his throat was a little dry, and his eyes were a little wandering away.

The earl pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth still had such a shallow arc, he looked down at Leo but didn't speak.

Seeing the earl like that, Leo became flustered for no reason, as if he had been completely seen through. Leo sat up from the sofa abruptly, wanting to leave here suddenly for some reason.

Human beings see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.

Just like the Vincent in Chris's eyes, the Vincent in Leo's memory is also the same, beautiful, clean and dazzling.

Because I believed so in my heart, I felt that it must be so.

But if you really encounter remarks that are contrary to what you believe in your heart, no matter how much evidence there is, human beings will continue to create perfect excuses in their hearts, and then continue to believe what they believe.

"Leo, don't get involved with Vincent anymore."

Leo who rushed to the door stopped suddenly, then turned his head hesitantly.

"This sentence is not advice, but a warning."

The figure of the man was sunk in half the shadow, he was wearing a long blue robe, and the big blue-purple unnamed flowers on the cuffs were delicate and beautiful.The man stretched out his right hand, picked up a small piece of dessert from the delicate and fancy plate, then bit and swallowed like that, and then licked his fingertips happily.

On the handsome face covered by the hair, a slight curvature of the corner of the mouth can be vaguely seen.

"Are you sure you really know Vincent?"

Leo was stunned, the voice in the air made him a little dazed, and even he began to doubt his memory and feelings.

How could it not be known?

Those encounters, those text messages, those words, those photos, why didn't I know each other!How can you pretend that you don't know each other!

Wen Sen said he liked him personally, handed him the last photo, and finally said good night to him and never woke up again.There was still a slight smile on the young man's face after his death, as if he had fallen into a dream. The pain, sorrow, and guilt he witnessed with his own eyes, could it be faked?

"What do you mean, I don't know, do you know?" Leo questioned the count with red eyes, clenched his fists tightly.

The earl still had a smile on his lips, turned his head, and his eyes of different colors looked at Leo from afar.

"That's because you didn't see what I saw."

This handsome man has always been like an indifferent bystander, sitting at the other end of the world as if watching a play happily and calmly.

"Leo, there are some lines in this world that cannot be crossed. You have already touched that line, and you should go back."
