you turned on the love game

A week passed, and Hisoka had adapted to life in the manor.Sometimes he will climb the outer wall of the manor and rush to your window without making a sound, just watching what you are doing through the glass.

When you saw it for the first time, you were taken aback by his face reflected on the glass, for fear that he would fall from the wall, and only when you opened the window did you find that he was stepping firmly in the depression of the bricks in the wall.

— and don't know how he found those depressions.

It's a good thing he's only six years old, otherwise this kind of behavior could be called perverted—you look at Hisoka with a funny face.

"Want to come in?"

The red-haired kid outside the window stares at you and nods.

As a result, the closed window was half opened, and the cold air quickly entered the room along the open gap, and one breath made one feel that the nasal passages were so cold that they were about to frost.

Then the child jumped in over the window frame.

He looked at you blankly at first, and a few seconds later, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and his tone was a little sweet: "Ah... what are you doing?"

You close the window and point to the books on the table: "I'm reading..."

Hisoka puffed up an unhappy face.

—He hates reading.Very boring.

Not interested in books, he sits on the chair next to you instead.Fold your hands over the back of the chair, rest your chin on your arms, and watch your movements without blinking.

It's just that it doesn't matter, but you can hear the sound of chewing gum bubbles bursting from time to time-"pop", "pop", and you are finally immersed in the text and suddenly interrupted by this sound.

He did it on purpose.

You know very well.

You close the book, turn your head to look at Hisoka: "Even if you keep looking at me, you can't find any loopholes. I don't have any clues here."

He is always watching you.

In addition to looking for loopholes in this manor surrounded like iron barrels, they are constantly looking for opportunities to observe you.

He never gave up leaving this place.

Hisoka, whose purpose was guessed, didn't panic at all, but smiled even more happily, and nodded cooperatively, "Well, yes, you don't seem to do anything else, just read."

"However, they all listen to you."

"Because I will pay wages."

"Is that so..."

He didn't say he believed it, nor said he didn't believe it. He tilted his head and leaned on his arm, and continued to blow gum bubbles enthusiastically.

In this case, it is impossible to read the book well.

You close the book, meet his eyes, and ask, "Why do you want to leave? You don't need to think about how to live tomorrow, and you don't need to worry about meeting scoundrels, isn't it good?"

"That kind of thing... I haven't worried about it."

"That's right, your movements are very quick, and you can escape smoothly even if you encounter one." You nodded knowingly, "Then why do you want to leave?"

Hisoka stopped chewing, glanced lazily at the cumbersome decorations in the room, and the corner of his mouth curled down.

"so boring."

This manor is like a large and beautifully decorated cage, the end of which can be clearly seen at a glance. There is nothing new at all, and it does not arouse the slightest interest.

The smooth red hair fell down on his forehead, and he frowned, chewing gum twice vigorously, as if venting his anger.

"Too boring."

"I hate boring places."

so...

You tapped the table lightly with your fingertips, a small dimple formed on the corner of your lips, "Then, do you want to watch something interesting?"

Youkexin Big Apple Circus.

The world's largest performing group tours hundreds of cities every year, including acrobatics, trapeze, tightrope walking, equestrianism, magic and clowns.

And this year, they happened to have several large-scale performances in this city, and even the newspapers used two full sections to report on this event.

I heard that the scene is grand and tickets are hard to come by.

Lina is learning wilderness survival skills this week, and you were planning to take them with you next week.But since Hisoka mentioned being bored today, it doesn't matter if I take him to watch it first.

After checking the tickets, you were taken to the VIP room by the staff, which is located on the second floor of the venue, and it is also the place closest to the stage.

Apart from providing drinks and fruits, you can also clearly see the performances off stage through the glass, and you can also turn on the TV screen and directly connect to a fixed camera, which is several percentage points higher than ordinary seats.

Hisoka stuck his whole face against the glass, staring straight at the performance on stage.

You turn on the TV: "Want to watch this? It will be clearer."

"No..." he said, "I only trust what my eyes see."

You lift your head slightly.

This circus is indeed the most famous. The long-distance jump without protection from a height of ten meters above the ground is perfect, without any stagnation in the movement, but the tightrope walking is the most beautiful thing in your opinion.

When in the middle of the steel wire, the performer's foot almost fell, and then he hooked the steel wire with the back of his foot while the audience exclaimed, and a homeopathic rotation brought the body back to balance.

At the end of the curtain call, it was said that this was an impromptu performance, and the audience immediately applauded enthusiastically, praising the wonderful performance.

You also applaud slowly.

Regardless of whether it is an impromptu performance or not, being able to react in just half a second and save my life while maintaining the effect of the performance is very powerful.

After the performance, the auditorium left the venue one after another. You bit your fruit and asked Hisoka, "How is it? Do you have any favorite performances?"

With an excited smile on his face, Hisoka propped his arms on the display cabinet beside him, jumped vigorously and sat on the edge, with his legs dangling in the air.

"Yep……"

"I love that magic trick."

His eyes sparkled with interest as he spoke.

"magic?"

You were a little surprised, but after thinking about it, you think it's normal for him to like unexpected magic tricks.

"Want to see you?"

"The gentleman who performed the magic trick."

Outsiders are usually not allowed to enter the backstage of the circus, but there are exceptions to everything. If you have money and background, it is not impossible to visit a little bit.

The magician is an adult with a beard and curly black hair. He takes off his hat and bows slightly to you, then leans over and asks Hisoka, "What do you want to know, little friend?"

"How did your playing cards change to other suits?"

The magician smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you. The basics of magic is to surprise people if they don't understand the secret."

Hisoka tasted his words, "Huh? Very interesting."

Then he raised his face and challenged with a smile, "Can I ask you to perform it again? I have already guessed the secret."

The magician grimaced.

"If I guess the card you changed, then I will win, and then give me the set of poker in your hand..."

"If you don't guess it, you lose?"

Other members of the circus were also attracted, but they didn't mind a child's provocation, they just laughed teasingly while waiting for the end of this "competition".

"Losing?" Hisoka seemed to have heard a joke, "I won't lose."

The magician's expression suddenly became serious.

Magic poker is his specialty. Even if the opponent is a child, he will inevitably get angry when he is provoked by such arrogance. The technique is faster than the performance on the stage, and there are almost no flaws.

"Wow! This guy tried his best!"

"Hahaha, don't be so serious about children."

"No way, he is a serious person."

The circus companions laughed kindly.Amidst the laughter, the magician stopped the final action and pressed the playing cards on the table with a "snap", waiting for Hisoka's answer.

"Now, what card is in my hand?"

The incandescent lamp above his head flickered suddenly, and the smile on Hisoka's face became extremely strange at that moment.But when the lights came on again, it felt like he was just smiling normally.

"It's the Ace of Hearts..."

The magician's angry expression disappeared.

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and turned over the playing card.

——"Ace of Hearts"

You suddenly feel an indescribable sense of familiarity.

It seems that somewhere... have you heard a similar conversation?

The onlookers were silent for two seconds, then exploded, applauding and applauding, and some people patted the magician on the shoulder and laughed at him—"It's not as skillful as a child!"

"Excellent..." said the magician, "who did you learn from?"

Hisoka tilted his head and didn't answer his question, just squinted his eyes and repeated the bet: "You lost. Give me the playing cards."

The magician didn't ask any more questions, and packed the playing cards and gave them to him.

The game is over, and the sense of familiarity that suddenly appeared just now has disappeared. After thinking about it for a long time, you can't remember where similar things happened, so you can only attribute it to a dream.

When he left, Hisoka had been playing with the poker cards he had won, and turned over all the cards one by one, showing a happy mood that was no less than eating his favorite chewing gum.

He likes poker very much.

——You see through it at a glance.

However, this little red-haired wolf...

Even when he was playing poker, he kept some minds.

He also used the action of playing poker to scan the surrounding environment as if there was nothing, planning to take the opportunity to escape.

It's a pity he's still too young.

If you don't hide your thoughts well enough, you'll discover them in no time.

Hearing the sound of shuffling the cards, you suddenly stopped, lowered your head and asked him, "Want to learn magic?"

Hisoka paused for observing the environment.

look up at you.

"You can invite a magic teacher. Do you want to learn?"

Learn more about magic and leaving the manor...

Which would he choose?

You looked at him with a smile, curious in your heart.

"..." The red-haired wolf hesitated.

He looked down at the poker cards in his hand, the top card "Ace of Hearts" was lying quietly in his palm, and the pattern of that red heart was reflected in his golden pupils, showing a unique coquettishness.

There are bodyguards waiting outside the door, and circus performers inside. There are only the two of you here.

If you want to escape, now is the best time.

leave? or stay?

He thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips happily.

A soft hum came out of your throat, and you pulled out "Red Heart A" to your lips, and opened your eyelids to meet your eyes, which were full of interest.

of course……

"OK……"

--Leave.
