love, don't bother

==================

"Ah-choo—" Duanmujin opened the car door, and just showing his head, he poured a mouthful of cold wind into his face, his nose tickled and sneezed earth-shatteringly.

He rubbed the tip of his red nose, and regardless of his demeanor, he directly pulled the black scarf piled around his neck to cover half of his face, leaned back into the car, and said to Lu Xinghe who was taking off his seat belt.

"Uncle Lu, it's windy outside, put on your hat, scarf and gloves before getting out of the car."

Lu Xinghe looked helplessly at Duanmujin who was wearing a black bread jacket, with half of his face hidden in a scarf, wrapped like a bear, only showing a pair of blue-gray eyes and brown curly hair.

He tugged at the white parka on his body, "I didn't wear as many clothes as you when I went to the South Pole. Can Berlin be colder than the South Pole?"

Lu Xinghe's voice was full of laughter, which was meant to be a joke.But I forgot that Antarctica has long been a minefield for Duanmujin. I can't even hear or read these two words, not even penguins.

Now when I heard that the ship crashed into an iceberg in Antarctica, almost everyone told Lu Xinghe there to mention these two words, Duanmu's blond hair was blushing, "Don't mention the stars! Listening to it, I have a headache!"

"It's okay, okay, I don't say it's okay." Lu Xinghe knew where Duanmu's golden heart knot was, so he hurriedly comforted him in a gentle voice, and gave up the scarf hanging around his neck as a decoration a few times. Asked as if changing the subject.

"The scarf is ready, can I get out of the car now?"

"No." Duanmujin pointed to the hat on Lu Xinghe's clothes, "button the hat too, don't catch a cold."

Lu Xinghe was really afraid that Duanmujin would be wordy again, so he put on the hat with fluffy white fur in a compromise.

Duanmujin nodded in satisfaction, trotted around the front of the car until the co-pilot opened the door to let Lu Xinghe get out of the car.

"Ah Jin, you are really looking more and more like an old lady." Lu Xinghe felt the wind blowing on his skin, which was almost the same as the wind in Meishi for three or nine days.

He glanced at Duanmujin through his glasses and laughed at him for fussing over a molehill.

"That's when you got out of the car, and you'll know how bad it is when you stand outside for a while." Duanmujin was severely frozen in Germany in November, and has a little PTSD.

But he also said it harshly, how could he really be willing to let Lu Xinghe freeze outdoors in minus ten degrees.

He held Lu Xinghe's hand, seeing that his hand was as cold as ice, he pulled it to his mouth and let out a couple of breaths, taking advantage of the heat, he stuffed it into his warm pocket.

"Hey, it's Adrian's stinky brother looking for trouble, otherwise we wouldn't need to come to Germany in winter to find Dong."

Duanmujin murmured and led Lu Xinghe to walk quickly towards the castle, but Lu Xinghe looked at the ancient castle quietly standing in front of him through the white hairy gap in front of his eyes.

The castle is a typical Gothic architecture, with towering towers, pointed rib vaults, flying buttresses and huge stained glass windows.

With a gray-blue curtain with no sunlight and only dark clouds, the castle is like a beauty that has gone through years of precipitation, wearing a mysterious black gauze and red lipstick, the beauty is quiet and treacherous.

"It's so beautiful." Lu Xinghe exclaimed.

"Huh?" Duanmujin raised his head and hurriedly glanced at the castle, which looked even weirder from a closer look, shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal, "Did you see the bare gardens on both sides?"

Lu Xinghe nodded, "I see."

"They were planted with Damask roses by Adrian. If you look at the flowering period..."

A picture of swaying dark red roses in front of the eerie Gothic castle emerged in Duanmujin's mind.

If someone told him that an old vampire lived in the castle for hundreds of thousands of years, he would believe it.

"It's nothing to see, it's very gloomy, and I don't know if it can live with people." Duanmujin hurriedly chased away the messy thoughts in his head, curled his lips and complained.

"Your own house, you don't know if you can live in people?" After entering the castle, the heat was blowing in his face, the hot Lu Xinghe tore off his scarf, squinted and laughed and teased.

"What is my house? I don't have a dime here. To tell you the truth, Xing Xing, it's the first time I've entered a castle." Didn't look any further.

"The last time I came, I was not allowed to enter the castle."

"Why?" Lu Xinghe wondered.

"The blood is not pure. Mixed blood, in the eyes of that old lady, is a bastard." Duanmujin sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Master Yannick, the old lady is also concerned about you." Wearing a black suit and white gloves, Ludwig, who had blond hair combed back, walked down the stairs with a formulaic smile on his lips.

"Do you believe it?" Duanmujin hugged his and Lu Xinghe's coats, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ludwig.

Ludwig smiled silently.

"I don't believe it."

Duanmujin shrugged indifferently, and he didn't want to discuss the Duchess of Graf with Adrian.

He didn't come here looking for the grandmother's love that recalled that he never got. His grandma gave enough, and he really didn't lack for it.

"Is Adrian alright?" Duanmujin asked bluntly, and he didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with Ludwig, because he really didn't know him that well.

"Frankly speaking, the master is not nice at all." The formulaic smile on Ludwig's face turned into a wry smile, thinking of the two upstairs, his head started to hurt again.

The cold war between the castle's two owners has escalated since photos of that room were discovered.

Mr. Yu, who seemed indifferent and desolate, lost his temper and hit the whole room in a blink of an eye. Of course, this also included the head of their owner in the room.

Ludwig still remembered his young master standing in the dark corridor with blood all over his head and face for an unknown amount of time. By the time he happened to check, the blood had already solidified and changed color.

Ludwig was so frightened that he dozed off and ran away, almost fainting.

He still remembered that his master looked at him faintly, his blue eyes glowed red, and his whole body looked like a ghost crawling out of hell, which made him tremble all over with fright.

And this evil ghost actually asked him with a distressed face, Ah Ci is angry and won't let me touch him, what should I do?

Ludwig didn't want to recall his feelings at that time. He looked at Duanmujin and Lu Xinghe in a speechless manner, and said, "Mr. Yu proposed to go back to Meishi. If he refuses, he will go on a hunger strike. He hasn't eaten anything for two days now. .”

"Adrian doesn't agree?" Duanmujin finished speaking, but felt impossible.He didn't dare to say how much he knew about his younger brother, but he really poured out his heart for Yu Ci.

How could he be willing to go on a hunger strike to starve to death?

"Master won't eat with Mr. Yu. I really have no other choice, so I asked Master Yannick to persuade the master."

"What?" Duanmujin was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, his face sank, and he cursed in a low voice, "Fuck, they're all fucking lunatics."

He threw the clothes to Ludwig and asked, "Where is the man? I'll go find him."

"The master has the fifth study on the left hand side of the third floor." Ludwig took the clothes that were about to hit his face, and the sadness on his face finally dissipated.

If it was what Master Yannick said, the master should listen to it.

He didn't want to send away the two masters in five years, that would be the biggest failure in his career.

After Duanmujin heard this, he rushed upstairs, Lu Xinghe quickly walked a few steps, and stopped him, "Ah Jin, let's go see Yu Ci first."

"?" Duanmujin looked at Lu Xinghe suspiciously, not knowing why he made such a decision, but still nodded quickly.

There is no way, Duanmujin has long developed the habit of being obedient in everything at Lu Xinghe's place, and he is more obedient than a domestic dog.

"Knock knock knock."

Yu Ci raised his head from the German version of "The Little Prince" in his hand, looked in the direction of the door lightly, lowered his head again, and returned his gaze to the rows of letters.

The people outside seemed to be very patient, and knocked three more times without hearing the voice inside.

Yu Ci still ignored it, and hit it three more times.

Three times and three times, Yu Ci was amused by the persistence of the people outside, closed the book with a "snap", said "please come in", and waited for the people outside to come in.

When the door lock was unscrewed, Yu Ci wondered with great interest whether the person who persisted was Ludwig or someone else in the castle.

As for Adrian, Yu Ci threw him out as soon as the knock on the door sounded.

The reason was simple, Adrian would never knock on the door when he returned to his bedroom.Even if he locked the door inside, he still had the key in his hand, and he would never let someone with bad legs and feet open the door.

When the door opened and the orange light shone on the person who came by, Yu Ci was taken aback for a moment, her calm expression turned into astonishment, and even her upper body leaned forward slightly in disbelief.

"Lu Xinghe, Duanmujin, why are you?"

"Ah Ci, long time no see." Lu Xinghe greeted Yu Ci with a gentle smile, but his eyes hidden behind the glasses looked at Yu Ci indistinctly.

After seeing that his hands and feet exposed outside the milk tea-colored home clothes were free from trauma and imaginary things that restricted his activities, his heart fell into place.

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

During this period of time, Yu Ci saw all the Germanic people with blond hair and blue eyes, high nose and deep eyes. Suddenly, he saw Lu Xinghe, who was also a good friend with the same black hair and black eyes as himself.

As for Duanmujin, Yu Ci automatically attributed him to Lu Xinghe's humanoid pendant, so ignore it.

In the past, when he, Lu Xinghe, and Xia Ran got together, there would be a pendant in the shape of a person next to them, and the owner of the pendant would just tell him that they didn't exist.

At first, Yu Ci still felt awkward, and the topic would be to take care of Jin Shao of the Duanmu family and the head of the Xia family, but after getting used to it, she just ignored it.

After Lu Xinghe sat down, he saw that he was sitting on the high-backed sofa opposite, and saw that his friend only looked good after his face became thinner, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Seeing the German version of "The Little Prince" on the small round table, he asked with a smile, "So Ah Ci still understands German?"

"I just started learning when I was bored recently." Yu Ci's slender fingers gently touched the gold-plated cover of the hardcover edition, with unclear emotions in her eyes, "I've seen it before, and I can understand it even with guesswork."

"By the way, why did you come to Germany?" The emotion in his eyes was fleeting, and when Yu Ci raised his eyes again, his eyes and the corners of his mouth were still smiling slightly.
