That's what he said, but Klein knew that Nata would definitely not embarrass Mephides.

When he went out, he warned a few more words, but was swept out of the door by Nata in disgust.

When he came out of the yard, he still had a smile on his face. Thinking about facing Heyman, his relaxed mood gradually subsided. When he got on the power car, he had recovered his usual expression and looked out the window casually.

Klein arrived more than ten minutes early and got off the car outside the captain's house.

The signboard of the Captain's House is a boat made of blue fluorescent materials that is riding the wind and waves. The bow of the boat faces the street directly, as if it has just passed through the storm and sailed to the lively street.

The layout of the shop is also the same as that of the cabin, divided into several areas. Guests can choose which area to eat in. Of course, the prices in different areas are different.

Klein entered the store and reported Heyman's name, and the waiter said respectfully, "Mr. Heyman is waiting for you in the captain's cabin."

The captain's room is the area with the highest consumption level in the captain's house. There is only one captain's room in the entire restaurant, which is equivalent to the first-class box in an ordinary restaurant. Even if you don't order anything, you will need to spend one or two gold coins just to reserve this box.

Klein came to the captain's house once to discuss the matter of the Pearl with a certain customs official. He knew that it was not so easy to make an appointment for the captain's cabin. Heyman put so much thought into it, so he had to cheer up to deal with it.

After a pause, he followed the waiter to the captain's cabin.

The layout of the captain’s cabin is very similar to that of the observation deck of the Pearl. On the highest floor of the captain’s home, the wall facing the port is replaced by glass. Standing by the window, you can see the sea in the port clearly.

The room is covered with thick carpets with complicated patterns, some ornamental plants are placed at the door, the warm yellow lights diffuse down, and the melodious and soothing sound of the violin floats out.

When he walked in, he saw a dining table in the center of the room with red wine on it. Heyman was sitting on the sofa by the window, looking out of the window with his face propped sideways, and turned his head when he heard the door opening.

Klein: "..."

It can be seen that Heyman attached great importance to this meeting, his hair was neatly arranged, and he even put on a dark green jacket with gold buttons. His facial features are more three-dimensional, like a knight of an ancient family.

He stopped in front of Klein and waved his hand at the waiter at the door. The waiter exited the room and closed the door behind him.

"..."

The sound of the piano lingered in the room, and Klein glanced at the door, intentionally breaking the charming atmosphere, and said, "I'm late."

Hyman's expression was lazy and casual, as if he was integrated with the lingering music.

The violinist was standing at the side of the room and was pulling the strings intently. There was no one else around. His attitude became more and more ambiguous. He traced Klein's outline inch by inch. His eyes were as thick as amber that hadn't yet formed. People are trapped and sealed up layer by layer.

Klein was so stared at, he would rather go to the sea to face the storm than get along with Heyman. It was more comfortable than being submerged in honey and breathless.

Judging from his long-term experience of being entangled by men, once he evades at this time, he will be regarded as timid by the other party and further teased.

Therefore, he maintained the attitude that should be in contact with the sheriff calmly, looked back at Heyman with clear eyes, and tried his best to dispel the sticky atmosphere around him without being rude.

Heyman is very good at observing people's subtle expressions. Klein hopes that he can realize that he is not interested in dating men as soon as possible, and swallow those words that may end badly.

However, Heyman's usual keen observation suddenly failed, or perhaps, he was deliberately ignoring Klein's reaction.

He went around behind the chair beside Klein, pulled the chair away, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Waiting is a virtue, and I also want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to show myself."

It is a gentleman's performance for a man to open a chair for a woman. To open a chair for the same sex, especially if the same sex does not seem to need to be taken care of, this kindness seems a bit superfluous.

It's not that easy to fool around after watching tonight.

Klein said thank you, sat down on the chair, and Hyman sat down opposite him, gestured to the violinist, and the violinist stopped his movements and exited.

Not long after, the waiter came over with the dining cart, put down the plates and cutlery one by one, opened the sober wine, and poured it into glasses.

When the waiter was pouring the wine, Klein saw the label on the bottle. If he remembered correctly, this wine was brought back from the Kingdom of Toust by the Pearl.

I heard that this kind of wine is brewed by elves. It has a beautiful color and mellow aroma.

The cargo capacity of the Pearl is limited, and it is impossible to bring back everything that comes across. At the beginning, Klein stayed in the Toust Kingdom for a month and tasted dozens of wines before he selected a few to bring back to Havre in large quantities. kingdom.

Before the wine was unloaded from the pier, it was fully booked by the restaurants in the Havre Kingdom. At the moment, there is a wave of red wine in the Havre Kingdom.

Although these wines were selected by Klein himself, in fact, he doesn't like the delicate and soft taste.

Compared with the red wine brewed by elves, he prefers the brandy and vodka that sailors at sea always keep in their hands. He drank it in one gulp with the sound of the waves, and his throat felt hot, stretching all the way to his stomach, which was very refreshing.

So, Klein thought, would there be so many people treating him like a bad boy and entertaining him with red wine instead of brandy, or is his appearance too refined?

While Klein was staring at the liquor, Hyman was also observing him from across the table.

His attire was the same as usual, except that his coat was buttoned a little more, not as casually as he had been walking in the port that day.

Handsome facial features are another matter, what attracts Hyman even more is the enigmatic aura about him——

Klein's appearance is somewhere between sharp and handsome. His eyebrows, nose bridge, and facial contours all have a tough start, but they are finely drawn in the end.

It's like rubbing a fine picture that perfectly combines two styles. Each stroke is strictly in accordance with the bottom plate that has been polished countless times to achieve perfection. The painter's skills are profound, and the lines are smooth. , there is not a trace of arc and turning point that should be there, and there is not a trace of it, it is completely natural.

When you first saw Klein, you would think he was a handsome, aggressive captain with a sharp and tough style.

Get closer, and if you have the opportunity to talk to him a few more words, you will find that his voice and attitude are calm, but his eyes are gentle and full of magnetism, and his conversation is extraordinary and quite graceful.

Of course, there are also many people who reversed his contrast. At first glance, they thought he was a rabbit who was ravaged by others. He was tied up and hung over the side of the boat to feel the speed of life and death in the storm. Only then did he realize that he came out to bask in the sun. lion.

Klein was brought back to his mind by Hyman's low smile, and looked towards the opposite side, only to see Hyman staring at him sideways with one hand for an unknown amount of time.

"..." Klein picked up the wine glass and continued to drink, blocking his sight.

Heyman said suddenly, "I'm a little curious."

Klein took a sip of the red wine, put the glass on the table, and asked, "What are you curious about?"

"Curiosity..." Heyman's eyes fell on his lips wet with wine, "What attitude will you have when you face your lover?"

"..."

"Do I have that honor?"

"..."

Klein thought that with Hyman's character, he would have to go around a few more circles, but he didn't expect a showdown when he came up.

At this moment, Hyman's sharpness came back online, his elbows rested on the table, his fingers crossed, and he said with a smile, "I think you want to talk more openly, don't you?"

"..."

Indeed, I have been acting with him all the time, and I have indigestion when I eat.

Heyman brought the matter to the fore, and Klein was finally able to give him a chance to formally refuse, and said shortly, "I'm sorry."

"You answered so quickly, don't you think about it?"

Klein smiled lightly.

"So cruel."

Heyman said so, but he didn't show any surprise to his answer. What he was curious about was the reason: "Why? My qualifications should be good, right? My appearance and family background are among the best, and I'm still a sheriff, so it should be very suitable for you. Are there conditions for choosing a spouse?"

When he boasted, he really didn't blush at all, and he was really confused why Klein turned a blind eye to such a high-quality man like him.

In all fairness, Klein felt that what he said was correct, but there was one additional condition, "If I like men."

Hyman raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you trying to say that you don't like men?"

Klein helped him pave the steps and said, "Maybe I wasn't clear enough."

"I've never looked away."

"There are always exceptions?"

"is it?"

"..."

Hyman raised his glass, and Klein clinked with him.

After taking a few sips of red wine, he put down his glass and said, "As far as I know, you have never had a girlfriend. My source is very reliable."

The implication is that Klein should not try to make up someone to send him off.

As soon as Klein heard it, he knew who he had checked with. Dick was the only one who knew him so well and had a close relationship with Heyman.

Klein didn't deny it, but responded, "I don't have a boyfriend either."

"Then how do you know you don't like it?"

"..."

Heyman slowed down his voice, and said seductively, "Maybe if you give it a try, you can discover your potential hobbies. I'd be happy to be your test subject."

"Trouble your Excellency, but no need."

Hyman looked at him with a half-smile.

The index finger and middle finger of Klein's right hand were stuck on the foot of the cup, the middle finger was bent, and he turned the cup, thinking about how to speak——

He had neither a boyfriend nor a girlfriend, and rejecting Heyman on the grounds that he didn't like men really seemed like an excuse.

The tricky thing was that Heyman had already got through with Dick and knew his situation well, so he had to find someone who even Dick didn't have time to know.

When he was on the beach, Heyman questioned Mephidash's identity. Compared with fabricating a lover out of thin air, it is obviously more convincing to use a ready-made person whom Heyman doubted.

Moreover, as long as it is said that he likes Mephides unilaterally, it will not have any influence on Mephidess, and even if Heyman asks the people on the Pearl, he will not show any flaws.

only……

When he thought of those eyes, Klein couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

The wine in the glass swayed slightly with the rotation of the glass. After a long time, his fingers stopped, and he raised his eyes and said, "Now... I already have someone I admire."

Mephides: Really?I do not believe
