[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

The snow field is vast, and it is pure white as far as the eye can see.

The castles, forests and lakes in the distance are all stained with the cold color of winter.

The wind is blowing snowflakes head-on, almost blinding people.

A touch of black between the sky and the earth is particularly conspicuous.

The black is getting closer, closer and closer.

With a neighing sound, the black horse raised its front hooves and stopped beside Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao looked up at the boy on the horseback.

The boy in the snowstorm is particularly outstanding.

Darcy jumped off his horse at once.

"How do you..."

Before Qiao Qiao finished speaking, Darcy pressed her shoulder.

"Don't go, Joe!"

Darcy stared at her without blinking, his smoky eyes were full of sincerity.

Qiao Qiao quickly recovered, and asked with a smile, "Who said I'm leaving? Where am I going? I'm just... just seeing those people off."

Darcy was dumbfounded, and let out a dumbfounded "ah".

Qiao Qiao opened his arms, "Do you think I'm going on a long trip?"

There were red marks in the corners of his eyes that he didn't know whether he was forced to rush or was blown by the wind. Coupled with his pale complexion, he was really pitiful.

Darcy: "You, aren't you leaving Pemberley Manor?"

Even though it was winter, Qiao Qiao's eyes were soft but like lake water in spring.

She watched him tenderly.

Under her gaze, he lowered his voice, "Aren't you going to leave Pemberley Manor..."

Although the content of the two sentences is the same, the attitude has changed greatly.

The system couldn't help but said: [What's wrong with him? 】

Jojo replied in his mind: "Ah, let George fuel the fire a little bit."

system:【……】

Take anger from his father, and then get it back from his son?

……

ten minutes ago.

Darcy wanted to talk to Joe, but he searched around the mansion, but he didn't see Joe.

When Darcy was about to go out of the manor to look for it, there was an idle voice behind him——

"Hey, what is Master Darcy going to do? You are in such a hurry?"

Darcy turned and saw George leaning against the wall, with one foot on the wall and the other on the ground.

Darcy had a stern face and a cold expression, obviously not wanting to talk to George.

Although he promised Joe not to tell about George's past and present, it didn't mean he didn't hate George any more.

Darcy walked past him as if he didn't see this person.

"Hey!" George suddenly stretched out his foot and stopped him.

Darcy turned his head, frowned and said, "What are you going to say? I advise you to be more peaceful in the house, and don't add burden to Joe."

George smiled brightly, "But, my Joe loves to clean up my mess."

Darcy clenched his fists.

George tilted his head, "Are you looking for Joe?"

Darcy was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Where is she? What do you know?"

George whistled, "What do I know? I know she's going to be a maid in the house soon. By the way, Master Darcy must be very happy, right? You thought you couldn't catch her, but now she's fallen from heaven In the mud."

Darcy hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't think so!"

George: "But, even if you want to do this, I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

Although Darcy reminded himself not to pay attention to this man who was full of lies, he still couldn't help being distracted by what he said.

"what?"

George turned sideways, propped his cheek with one hand, leaned his elbow on the wall, and smiled maliciously.

"My sister heard that she was going to be a maid, and being slandered and jealous by so many servants in the manor, she decided to go to her aunt's house."

He stared at Darcy with malice in his honey-colored eyes, "Joe is leaving Pemberley Manor!"

Darcy opened his eyes wide and took a step forward, "Really?"

George smiled and said, "Fake."

Darcy: "..."

He really wanted to punch George in the face with his hippie smile.

With a straight face, Darcy put his clenched hands behind his back and tried his best to bear it.

George glanced at his arm, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, she is leaving the manor now, if you go after her now, there is still time."

Darcy opened his mouth.

George smiled and added: "If you delay for a while, you really won't see Joe."

Darcy had no choice but to hastily say "You wait for me to come back and settle the score with you".

After all, he ran downstairs in a hurry, not even caring about his dignity.

George leaned on the railing, looked at Darcy's back in a hurry, and smiled with his chin propped up.

……

Darcy came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "That guy actually lied to me!"

Qiao Qiao asked innocently and blankly: "Who? Did he tell you that I was leaving the manor?"

Qiao Qiao said softly: "My father and younger brother are here, where can I go?"

She lowered her eyelashes, "Go home? But, isn't my home right here?"

Darcy was taken aback for a moment, and a burst of indescribable joy suddenly appeared in his heart.

Even though he was standing in the wind and snow, his heart became scorching hot in an instant, and a scorching warm current poured from his heart to his limbs.

The next moment, he felt ashamed of his feelings.

How despicable that he should be happy and thankful that Jojo was homeless.

He stared at Qiao Qiao firmly, "You treat this place as your own home."

Qiao Qiao smiled helplessly, with a distant and gentle expression.

His heart cooled down a little bit.

Qiao Qiao noticed that his complexion was not good, and hurriedly said: "Why did you come out like this? You didn't even wear more clothes."

Darcy looked down at his dress.

He had only time to put on his house shoes and a cloak in his haste to keep Jo away, as he hurried out.

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but once she says...

"Ah-"

Darcy covered his nose and sneezed.

Jojo: "Go back quickly."

"Okay... Ah Choo!"

He took two steps, then looked back at her.

Qiao Qiao could only smile and followed.

Darcy jumped on his horse and held out his hand to her.

Qiao Qiao shook her head at him with her hands behind her back.

"No, this is not good."

Darcy pursed his lips and said softly, "You're right, I was not thoughtful."

Jojo: "It's not too far from the castle, you should go back first."

Darcy glanced at the direction of the castle, shook the reins, and led the black steed around in a circle.

The black steed seemed to be speechless by the movement of its master on its back, snorted, and paved the ground with its hooves uneasily.

It is ready to run at its own speed at any time, so that the owner can take a good look at it.

The next moment, the back was suddenly empty.

Darcy jumped off the horse again.

He squeezed the reins, put his fists to his mouth and coughed.

He turned his head away from looking at Qiao Qiao, "I'll walk back with you."

Qiao Qiao smiled like a rose flower towards him.

Darcy's cheeks suddenly felt hot.

He rested the back of his hand on his cheek, silently holding the rein and following behind Qiao Qiao step by step.

Qiao Qiao turned around to look back, and he looked around embarrassedly.

Qiao Qiao: "The road here is not easy to walk, so don't go behind."

Darcy lowered his head and said softly, "It's because of the snow that the road is difficult to walk, so I have to walk behind you..."

While talking, Qiao Qiao slipped and fell backwards.

Darcy quickly put his arms against her back, supporting her properly and gently.

"Go slowly, I'll follow you."

Qiao Qiao stood up straight and smiled slightly.

She stepped into the deep snow, made a footprint, and looked back at him from time to time, signaling him to follow her footprints.

"How can I make a lady..."

Qiao Qiao explained: "After all, you are wearing indoor shoes, which are easy to get wet from snow."

Darcy pressed his forehead, "...How can I let you step on the snow for me first? Sigh."

What stupid things did he just do?

Darcy got on the horse again, but let go of the rein, and opened his arms towards Jojo.

He endured and shyly said: "You'd better get on the horse, I'll put you down when I'm near the castle."

Qiao Qiao tilted his head, "You are riding a horse, no matter if I sit in front of you or behind you, it's not very good."

Darcy couldn't help frowning in distress.

"However, it's different when I ride you on horseback."

Darcy looked puzzled.

Isn't this the same reason?

Qiao Qiao stretched out her finger, hooked it lightly, and the hair that was blown on her lips by the wind brushed it behind her ears.

Darcy: "If you can agree to get on the horse, I have no problem."

Jojo showed a bright smile.

System: [...Master, I feel like you are cheating Darcy again. 】

As a result, the servants in the castle mansion saw Miss Wickham riding a black steed gallantly, while their Master Darcy was bent over, with his hands on the horse's back helplessly, with a look on his face. Sitting awkwardly on the back of Miss Wickham's horse.

He blushed, not daring to touch Joe's back at all.

Master, don't you feel ashamed when a boy sits behind a girl?
