[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Dorian Gray envies both Jo's spotlessness and her innocence.

He wanted to tear her down from the sky and let the angel fall into hell.

His heart was full of poison, but a pure and innocent smile appeared on his face.

He said to Joe politely: "Miss Wickham, please allow me to apologize to you. At the same time, in order to express my apology, I would like to invite you to the ball tonight."

Darcy looked up at him immediately.

Dorian Gray stared at Joe unblinkingly with blue eyes, "Miss Wickham, please come."

Joe refused with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gray, I accept your wish, but I won't go to the ball."

Dorian Gray was stunned for a moment, and asked hastily: "What dissatisfaction does Miss Wickham have with me? Or do you think the ball I hold cannot catch your eye? You say, as long as it is proposed by Miss Wickham , I will do it for you."

Darcy grabbed the armrest of the sofa and stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Gray," he said dryly, "you have misunderstood Miss Wickham. She won't go to balls. That's not her way of life."

He walked to Joe's side step by step, and said seriously: "Miss Wickham is an ascetic monk, she never likes these pleasure activities."

Joe smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you Mr. Gray for the invitation, but I can't attend."

Dorian Gray was stunned for a moment, he looked Joe up and down, "In this case, I don't want to destroy your penance."

"I want to go to the countryside for vacation. Miss Wickham might as well go with me, and bring good news to those country people."

Mr. Darcy shook his head disapprovingly.

Why should Dorian Gray live in the country when he was not taken up by his grandfather?What position does he have for saying such a thing?

Although Mr. Darcy thought so in his heart, he did not say it to save Mr. Dorian Gray's face.

It's just that his attitude is more reserved and indifferent.

Dorian Gray naturally noticed the change in his expression.

He was suddenly upset.

Sure enough, everyone looked down on him, even if they didn't show it on the face, the arrogance of the aloofness separated him from them.

Could it be that he is willing to be born by his parents?

What a Mr. Darcy, I thought he was so good at first, but the results were all false.

Since he looked down on him, he was going to steal what he cared about most.

What he cares most about...

Dorian Gray's eyes fell on Joe.

Joe felt Dorian Gray's intense emotions, as if he had obtained the "exploitation manual" of his emotional resources.

Since the instructions are all prepared for her, wouldn't it be a pity not to make good use of them?

System: [This Dorian Gray committed a crime in your hands, so he deserves it. 】

Those who don't play tricks on Joe and George will be stripped of their skin by their siblings, let alone those who want to play tricks. Not only will you need mental energy, but you will also have a mental breakdown.

Dorian Gray, give you some wax ahead of time.

Qiao's eyes sparkled, and he pressed his chest, and said slowly: "Mr. Gray's proposal is very meaningful, and I will definitely go, but right now I want to go to the seminary to receive more teachings, so that I can go to the seminary better." Spread the Gospel."

Dorian Gray was taken aback. "Seminary?"

It was really far away from him.

Dorian Gray rolled his eyes and smiled immediately: "Then can I visit Miss Wickham? I have never been to a seminary."

Mr. Darcy said: "This is not something that Miss Wickham can decide. It's better for Mr. Gray not to force Miss Wickham."

Mr. Darcy frowned, doubting: "I don't know when Mr. Gray became so devout?"

Dorian Gray pretended to say: "I used to know too little about these things, and I was led astray by those nobles, but now I want to walk a clean path, and I also want to bathe in God...God's light, power Can Miss Cobham help me?"

When he talked about God, his expression was quite unnatural, as if he wanted to ridicule, but he restrained it abruptly.

Darcy frowned even tighter.

Dorian Gray's words, even if he hadn't listened with his ears, he knew he was telling lies.

Joe didn't seem to feel Dorian Gray's hypocrisy at all, and his smile was still gentle and appropriate, "Well, God will not reject anyone."

Dorian Gray sneered in his heart, but showed a serious look on his face.

He stared at Joe intently, and said affectionately: "Then Miss Wickham, what do I need to do?"

Joe: "Start with the simplest, go to church at a fixed time, listen to the gospel, and confess your sins."

Dorian Gray pursed his lips, feeling complicated in his heart.

Joe said frankly: "Mr. Gray, you have to take this step first before I can help you."

She showed a very gentle smile.

Dorian Gray: "Then, will Miss Wickham hear my confession?"

Joe froze for a moment.

Dorian Gray mocked in his heart: Sure enough, Jo Wickham, known as the "Saint", also looked down on him.

Joe shook his head.

Dorian Gray's heart sank, and he didn't know why. He knew that there would be such a result, but he still couldn't help being disappointed and even hated.

"What? Even Miss Jo Wickham despises me? Doesn't Miss Wickham treat everyone equally?" His tone became more and more annoyed.

Qiao's eyes were clear and gentle, "Mr. Gray, you misunderstood."

"What have I misunderstood? Does Miss Wickham only accept the confession of a man of Mr. Darcy's character and family?"

Joe looked at him patiently, without a trace of impatience.

She explained softly: "I shook my head not to refuse, but to feel helpless. Mr. Gray, this is my responsibility. How could I push you to others?"

Dorian Gray was taken aback, "You, why do you think so? I am your responsibility?"

Qiao said helplessly: "It is precisely because I met you that you have the idea of ​​wanting to bathe in the divine light and repent of your sins. This is naturally my responsibility."

"Mr. Gray, I'm right here. If you need me, you can come to me anytime. I'm willing to listen and help you whenever and wherever you want."

Dorian Gray was simply overwhelmed by Jo's words.

He still knows how unlikable he is except for his face.

Moreover, after seeing his true face painted last night, he also knew how dirty he was.

Even so, she is still willing to regard him as her responsibility...

Dorian Gray blinked and said softly, "Miss Wickham, are you kidding me?"

He raised his voice and said: "I know how bad my reputation is, and I also know that there must be many people who will hinder you from dating me. Not to mention, even the Mr. Darcy in front of you will definitely not want you to associate with me dense."

Mr. Darcy gave him a cold "you know" look.

Dorian Gray ignored Darcy's eyes, he looked at Joe intently, and asked earnestly, "You..."

Before he could say what he wanted, Joe stepped forward with a smile and gave him a gentle hug.

In an instant, the exhaustion, regret, jealousy, and boundless and inescapable desires in Dorian Gray's body caused by indulgence day and night seemed to disappear completely.

His heart is open, his mind is clear, and his body and soul seem to be a little lighter.

It's as if he was still the boy in the country back then, although he was poor, he had happy moments——

He played with the children, stepped barefoot on the grass warmed by the sun, butterflies were flying around, and the sky under the setting sun was like orange jam, fragrant and sweet.

Soon, this sweet emotion also disappeared completely.

Joe let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, my action was too sudden, but the look in your eyes just now seemed to say to me, please hug me, please save me."

Dorian Gray, who hadn't recovered from the emptiness, was in a trance and nodded blankly.

Joe raised his hand and touched the boy's soft golden wool roll.

"Go back and have a good rest, you look like you haven't slept all night."

Dorian Gray nodded, turned around, and walked away slowly.

Darcy watched this miraculous scene and didn't speak for a long time.

Joe looked at Darcy.

Darcy thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Are you okay?"

Joe tilted his head, puzzled.

He pointed to the direction where Dorian Gray left, "You bring this magical feeling to people, won't it affect your body?"

Joe smiled, "Although the stories of others are amazing, I never think it's my credit. I think everyone longs for a hug. In a warm and forgiving embrace, people will solve their own troubles."

Joe looked at Darcy, as if waiting for something.

Darcy pressed his chin and asked with a smile: "What are you waiting for? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Joe: "I thought you would persuade me."

Darcy sighed, "Although I'm worried, it's not like I didn't expect this day."

Darcy lowered his eyes, "I know that in your eyes, a king is no different from a beggar. To you, embracing Dorian Gray is no different from embracing a sheep or a chicken."

"This is your nature and your divinity. I can't blame you for it."

Darcy looked at Joe and smiled.

There was one sentence he never said.

Joe went to comfort everyone, then he went to protect her.

Although he does not have a title, nor does he have as much power in the capital as some nobles, but he is willing to give everything he has.

The system said with emotion: [What a wonderful Mr. Darcy. 】

Joe: "Well, it's just that now Dorian Gray has the same emotional energy as Mr. Darcy."

system:【……】

Joe: "Well, the embarrassing thing is that the violent ups and downs of Dorian Gray's mind can't be done by me alone. I need someone to cooperate with me."

George, who was looking at this side from a distance, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey, why didn't Dorian Gray come to me? If he came to me, I would be able to stir up the violent emotions in him better."

George: "After all, his weakness is too obvious. As long as he mentions his past and tramples him in the mud, he will hate me to death."

Joe: "As long as you give him a hug when he's dirty, he'll love it to death."

George: "How many times have I been in bed, but I don't even get many simple and warm hugs. It's sad."

Joe: "Just a hug can make him overwhelmed with joy, innocent."

Joe and George said at the same time: "It's so beautiful!"

System: [You sing with yourself... It's amazing! 】

This time, Dorian Gray thought he was on the second floor and could lure Joe to fall, but he didn't know that Joe was in the atmosphere, waiting to tap his emotional energy.

"Human scum" in the eyes of others may be sucked into a scum by Joe.
