Those years of falling in love with Mosaic [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 64 How to Be a Qualified Servant
The place Kou Qiu arrived at in the middle of the night was the exchange.
After slavery was abolished, the exchange also lost its most important source of income, and was gradually abandoned. Finally, it moved away from here and built another inconspicuous small house, while the original building became a deserted place.The carriage circled the corner of the street, and the nobles who used to come and go in the past seemed to have disappeared. The whole street was empty, and only the sharp and mournful cry of wild cats could be heard.
No matter who looks at it again, he would never have imagined that this place was such a bustling and prosperous place a year ago.
Kou Qiu jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, and then slammed on the gate of the exchange.
"Boom!"
He slammed his fist against the closed door and shouted, "Xavier! Are you there?"
"..."
The hall was quiet, without any movement.The only response to him was the howling wind at night.
"Are you there?" Kou Qiu knocked on the door again, waiting expectantly for the voice inside.
A feral cat circled its soft tail and slowly paced into the shadows, as if looking at a madman who had lost his mind.
"Xavier!"
"Xavier!!"
His voice became louder and louder, and the birds perched on the tree were startled and flew into the air.
Kou Qiu still refused to give up.He bit his lips tightly, as if his soul had been sucked away, leaving only an empty shell.He just stood at the door, knocking on the door persistently again and again, not even aware of the bloodshot joints in his hands, and felt no pain at all.He kept knocking until his voice became hoarse, he couldn't raise himself any higher, and his strength was taken away little by little.
In the end, even the coachman couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and grabbed him, "Master, you can't do this, you've already been injured—"
But this is the first time in history that the young master who has always been precious has let go of his hand.
"Xavier..."
He stroked the door, his voice slowly turning into tears.
"I know, you will definitely be here..."
Where else can I find you but here?
—Only here.
——This is where we first met.
The coachman still tried to come up and help him: "Master, Xavier might not be here—"
"He must be here! He can only be here!"
Kou Qiu still stubbornly stood where he was, unwilling to leave, he had searched, every corner of the city.The white rose is not on the ground, it must have been taken away by Xavier himself - where can Xavier go?Where else could he go but here?
But no matter how desperately he knocked on the door and shouted, no one answered from the door.Kou Qiu even had a weird illusion, as if he was the only one who could remember Xavier, and when he forgot, Xavier really didn't exist.
Just like water drops into water, it is extremely easy for a person's existence to be obliterated.
What about him?
Can he have another world?
Kou Qiu pressed his forehead against the heavy iron gate, and for a moment he seemed to have abandoned his own soul.He stood there blankly, and after a long time, he reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth.
【Azai,” he said, 【Did I lose him completely? 】
There was a cry in the system's voice.
【Abba,】 it said, 【Don't do this, there will definitely be another one.Dad loves you so much, he will definitely follow you there...]
When it comes to the latter, even it itself has no confidence in what it says.The system cub pursed his mouth and almost cried out.
Gradually, a fish-white color appeared on the horizon.
Kou Qiu pressed his head against the door, his throat was burning hot, and he could hardly make any sound.He couldn't cry at the top of his voice any more, he could only lean against the door, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes little by little.
The last glimmer of hope was also snuffed out.
"I'll give you..." he said hoarsely, "I'll sing for you, okay? Let's sing a lullaby, the one you've heard most times before... "
He closed his eyes and slowly uttered the first broken note.
"Be good, baby..."
The flames of war suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again.He was tightly protected by the man in his arms, and beside him were brothers from District Seven.Facing the long wind with fluttering flags, they stepped on bones and sang amidst the shadows of swords and swords.He saw the hair of the twins fluttering in the air, and he could vaguely see their identically curved eyes.
"Baby, baby, sleep well..."
Jiaolong wiped away the tears on his face with Jiaolong's hand, and Teacher Zhuo kissed his wet eyelashes.Hua Peacock squatted aside, tightly covering her ears, shedding tears in aggrieved way.
These pictures are clearly clear, but Kou Qiu's voice suddenly became hoarse.
He barely suppressed the soreness in his throat, and slowly finished singing this lullaby.
"If you can hear it," he said softly, "I'll use this song to buy you back, okay?"
"It's not the same as last time's Gold Gallon," he said, even beginning to incoherent, "we've agreed, it's really going to be a lifetime—a lifetime that doesn't miss a minute or a second. I don't complete the task It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you die in this world—I don't need to be a civil servant, I don't need to be a young master, I can be sick forever, I use so many things to exchange you, okay?"
There was still no movement in the hall.After a long time, even Kou Qiu began to give up hope, and he finally heard a soft sigh coming from it.
"--not good."
The hoarse voice whispered.
The system was startled, and suddenly raised his heart, Kou Qiu stroked the door, but tears came down all of a sudden.
"Xavier..."
"not good."
The voice still persisted, so weak that it seemed that it could be cut off at any time, just across a door, the young man tightly closed his eyes.His pale blond hair was already dirty and messy, pasted on his cheeks, covered with stinky pus.
"not good......"
Enduring the severe pain, he said slowly, "I don't agree."
Kou Qiu knocked on the door harder.
"Then come out," he cried, "come out! Why don't you see me—"
"Master," Xavier interrupted him, looking up at the high ceiling and at the top box, "I won't live long."
"What nonsense!" Kou Qiu was furious, "No matter what the disease is, we can..."
"No." Xavier cut him off calmly. "It's smallpox."
Kou Qiu's voice was suddenly blocked in his throat.
His whole body began to tremble, and he couldn't even say a word for a while, he could only spit out one word mechanically: "What?"
"It's smallpox."
Xavier repeated the answer again.
He looked at the large and small pustules bulging on his body, as if looking at the hands of death.The hand that had claimed millions of lives touched him now, sharp as a sword ready to fall at any moment.
"A friend of mine died of smallpox," he said in a low voice. "I know better than you how this kind of thing kills people."
The young man sighed softly.
"I—" he said, "I really want to dedicate this bouquet of white roses to you."
But now, it has passed through his hands, so he can't take it anymore.
Xavier already had a bad feeling when he was attacked by a patient suffering from smallpox.He didn't go back, just huddled in a corner where no one passed by, quietly waiting for God's sentence—but this time, God didn't come to him again.
He was thrown back into hell again.
In the early hours of the morning, he developed the same symptoms.The high fever persisted, the corners of the eyes turned white, and large areas of skin swelled up, like boiling water.Xavier knew what smallpox looked like, and he also clearly understood that with this fierce force, he might not be able to survive it.
No doctor would treat a patient who was infected with smallpox. He could only stay in hell, waiting to die day by day.
Death is not an easy word.
Especially when you still have concerns in your heart.
"I miss you." Xavier said slowly, "I've been thinking about you..."
Thinking of you who trembled and poured down a whole box of golden gallons, and thinking of you who gave me unprecedented honors countless times later.Thinking of your trembling appearance under me, thinking of those flowers, those winds, thinking of the back of your kissed hands and the aroma of crushed grass.
"So you open the door, okay?" Kou Qiu pressed against the door, he could almost feel the weak breathing of the young man behind the door, his eyes were closed, his voice was trembling, "Open the door, I miss you too... .I'll be with you, okay? Don't leave me alone again..."
His tears fell, and he beat on the door desperately.
"You open the door, otherwise, I will always be here."
There was a deeper determination in his voice.
"You're going to die—I'll go with you."
There was no movement behind the door again, and Xavier smiled softly after a long time.He leaned against the door and said softly, "Master, why are you doing this?"
Kou Qiu's lips trembled, and he said softly, "But I think there's nothing wrong with going crazy like this."
This is the answer Jiaolong once gave him.It's just that now, he understands the meaning of this sentence more clearly than ever.
He just wanted to be a lunatic.
With a creak, the door was finally slowly opened.Kou Qiu's whole body was trembling, he looked at the figure slowly appearing in front of him, seeing the man's panicked appearance at the moment, he felt as if someone had punched his head hard.
"Xavier..."
"I have become like this," the young man calmly raised his silver-gray eyes, and smiled at his little master, "Are you still willing to accept my flowers?"
In his hand, the dust on the bouquet of white roses had been wiped off with great care. The delicate petals were turning yellow, but they still exuded a faint fragrance.
Kou Qiu didn't answer.
Trembling, he took two steps forward, opened his arms without hesitation, and hugged him.
"I promised you would stay by my side all the time," he changed his tone rarely, with cruelty in his voice, "You promised, never leave like this again!"
The young man was stunned for a long time, and then smiled softly.
"Yes," he said in a low voice, "—my master."
Kou Qiu brought the seriously ill young man back to the room.He didn't let others take care of them. Seeing that the servants were afraid of being infected, he simply dismissed everyone, leaving only himself and the young man in the upstairs room.He used spirits twice a day, kept ice cubes on his forehead, and even used the water seedling method from the East to stuff the pox vaccine into his nose and waited for seven days.
Seven days later, Xavier developed a fever and acne.
Kou Qiu's heart also slowly fell back into his stomach.
Maybe it was luck, or God's mercy, Xavier was clearly so ill that he lost consciousness several times, but he was still dragged back from the death line abruptly.The veil of death could not cover him, and after a few months, Xavier's condition gradually improved, and the acne on his body gradually faded.
When the doctor came to see him, he saw the young man's face looking much better now, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"You are simply a miracle," he said to Kou Qiu, "but do you have any infection?"
Kou Qiu shook his head.
The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with the servant Xavier, it is obvious that the safety of a young master like Ulysses is more concerned.The doctor walked down the stairs, remembering the rumors that were popular in the city these days, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "You... just for a servant? Are you taking such a big risk?"
His eyes were filled with puzzlement, pity and surprise, "Why are you doing this!"
"But if I don't do this, I will take a greater risk." Kou Qiu lowered his eyes and smiled calmly, "I don't want to lose him."
He stared at the upstairs quietly, and there was an indelible sweetness in his eyes.
"Perhaps, you will understand after all."
Doctors really don't understand.
Ulysses Braden is the most beautiful rose, and countless people flocked to him.But this little rose, who is favored by God, would rather take her own life as a bet to save an insignificant servant.
what is this?
Thinking of the rumors he had heard these days, he couldn't help laughing.
Is this really what those people call love?
He adjusted his hat for the last time, and glanced at the strange pair of master and servant.But the strange thing is that he is clearly a believer, but now he has a little longing for such a love that obviously does not conform to the rules.
Being willing to take the greatest risk in the world for the other party, even if the world disagrees with it, it cannot be denied that it is touching.
So touching.
After Xavier recovered, John Braden also met the valet.He looked between the two with complicated eyes for a long time, and only then did he tell Ulysses' real life experience.
"Your mother is a princess," he said briefly. "If you wish, you have a higher right of inheritance than His Royal Highness."
Kou Qiu didn't respond to such a statement.He even just nodded and said, "Thank you father for your kindness in nurturing."
John Braden stared at him for a long time.
"Perhaps," he said, "you want to—"
"Do not."
Kou Qiu stopped his next words, and silently held his lover's hand tighter, "No."
"I don't have such thoughts, and I don't have such desires. Today, I am content."
John Braden sighed softly.
He didn't persuade anymore, but said in a deep voice: "You have your mother's heart."
After this secret conversation, a letter was sent to the court in a blink of an eye.Dolores, who was sitting in front of the mirror, looked at it, and then slowly opened the secret letter that she had changed places, and gently placed the secret that had been dusted for many years on the dancing candle flame.
It ended up being a puddle of soft ash.
Dolores' emerald eyes stared at the ashes for a long time, and then the corners of her lips curled up.
"love......"
she murmured.
This word reminded her of the ball with the skirts spinning, the mother waiting in the carriage, and the quiet kiss on the stairs.
Fortunately, she didn't have the courage at that time.Now, his family has enough courage.
She held the pool of ashes that still had the lingering warmth, as if she was holding back the love that she could not get back for a long time.
After two years of searching, Kou Qiu found Helun.The former Viscount Helun no longer has the title of nobility, so he can only live in other places, relying on his handsome face and sharp skills to barely make a living.He didn't dare to join the army anymore, and he didn't have the ability to revolt again. His arrest warrant is still posted in the streets and alleys, so he had to rely on his strength to do some work in the half-blind blacksmith shop.
Kou Qiu didn't bother him, but quietly ordered his subordinates to reveal his address to the woman he had cheated on.
Within a few days, Ive came to the door.
Of course she didn't come to hope for reconciliation.
"Give me the money!" Eve held the child who was already able to walk on the ground, raised eyebrows, "You left this at the beginning, how can you not be responsible?"
Seeing Helun's distressed appearance, the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Why," she said slowly, "When Viscount Heron tricked me into betraying his master, how glorious was it? Now, how come you can't even produce half a gallon?"
Heron couldn't stop being disturbed, and the progress of the task rose in a straight line, and soon reached seventy.Seeing that he was approaching the danger line, Kou Qiu hurriedly arranged for him to be appreciated artificially, and picked up a big pie that fell from the sky.
When Helun really thought that he could start over with a different identity, the noble person who admired him disappeared without a trace.
Heron: "..."
No, just leave after giving hope?How could there be such a ruthless thing in the world!
The ruthless old cadre Kou silently added fire to him.
The next day, Helun opened the door and saw the familiar figure of the woman in the exchange again.
His eyes suddenly went black.
......two.
Ruined.
What's the difference between this and sending him to hell directly?
A few days later, the third one also arrived.The Countess Shi Shiran came, she was looking forward to her, and her temperament was superb. When Helun saw her, she suddenly had some hope in his heart.
He tried his best to try to win the beautiful woman's heart again.Countless sweet words were poured out of his mouth, he expressed the guilt that he had been haunting all these days, and sincerely begged the countess to give him another chance.
The Countess listened patiently from the beginning to the end, and finally said to herself in amazement: "How could I fall in love with such a naughty person?"
Heron: "..."
No, when you say this, can you not pretend that I don't exist?
"I already have a fiancé," the countess stood up, curling the corners of her lips, "Viscount Helun, seeing that you are living in such a bad way, I feel relieved."
"There's nothing I can give you as a present..." She rummaged in her handbag, and finally found a half-new handkerchief, and threw it into the other party's arms. Thank you for opening your eyes.”
All Helun's skills were useless, and he just stared at her blankly.
The countess went out briskly, and there was another handsome figure waiting for her in the carriage.Seeing her coming out, the man immediately got out of the carriage and took her hand full of admiration.
The rumble of carriages sounded, and they went further and further away.
The countess did not look back.
She only stretched out her hand to pull the brim of the hat, and threw that inferior and indifferent self far behind the horse.
The days passed quickly, and when Kou Qiu was invited to attend Ellen's wedding, he unexpectedly discovered that Ellen had also sent an invitation for Xavier.He watched the girl in a snow-white veil walk slowly past the eyes of everyone, and slowly handed her hand to another person. This scene was sacred and touched people's hearts.
It wasn't until the wedding was over that the bride came over and looked at Kou Qiu.
All she said was, "I've known it since hunting."
Xavier squeezed his master's hand tighter all of a sudden, and Kou Qiu noticed that he was sweating slightly, as if he was afraid of hurting Ulysses' reputation.
Xavier's voice was dry: "You..."
"Bless you," Ellen cut off his words, still looking at Kou Qiu, "you—you are the most gentle person I have ever met."
She smiled, and that smile was like a spring flower blooming, bringing in the sunshine all at once, "So, what you have is what you deserve."
She took out the white rose she had been hiding in her hand all along, and inserted it into Kou Qiu's buttonhole.
Kou Qiu also looked at the other party, only said: "You will be happy."
None of them said any more.
After the end, Kou Qiu couldn't help feeling sorry: 【What a revolutionary comrade in arms! 】
[Don't think about it,] the system said quietly, sneering, [Do you really want to abolish the feudal monarchy and establish a democratic country? — Just kidding, you are not General Gu! 】
Veteran officer Kou: […]
He was about to say something more, but he felt the breathing of the people beside him suddenly tightened.When he raised his head, although Xavier still had a smile on his face, he held on to his hand and looked straight at him.
"What are you thinking?" the young man asked in a low voice.
Senior officer Kou saw the big dog's jealousy at a glance, and immediately comforted him: "I miss you."
The big dog was still looking at him quietly, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help flicking its tail happily.
"But I'm by your side."
Kou Qiu could only coax: "Then I miss you too."
"What about Max?"
"..." How can I still remember this, "I don't want him."
"why?"
"He has no dowry."
The corners of Xavier's lips tightened, as if he was thinking about his dowry.Looking at his appearance, Kou Qiu couldn't help laughing, and resignedly clenched the big dog's paws even tighter.
"Don't even think about it," he said. "There's no one else but you."
——From the beginning to the end, it has always been you.
When Kou Qiu woke up, the fragrance was extremely strong.That kind of aroma, like too much makeup powder, kept drilling into the nose, like a slippery snake.Obviously, he couldn't bear the smell of luxury, so he sneezed suddenly and sat up.
"Ah!" He heard a soft and greasy voice, both male and female, "Father, are you awake?"
Kou Qiu was dizzy, still thinking, when will I have another cub.
Before he could finish thinking, he heard more voices coming towards his face mixed with the fragrant wind.
"Father! Daddy, you haven't woken up for so many days, but you're so worried!"
"..."
Kou Qiu thought hesitantly, people?
"Boss Bai has come to find someone to serve him several times, Dad, I have earned you a lot of money—"
"..."
Kou Qiu thought, serve?
At the same time, the sound from outside finally reached his ears little by little.He could hear the thin groans, rasping his throat, mixed with joy, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his voice and shouted: "My lord, slave, slave—"
Senior officer Kou was completely frightened out of his confusion just now.
The successor of socialism opened his eyes and carefully glanced at the person in front of him.
A group of soft and charming boys stood in front of his bed, their clothes were wide open, and their faces smeared with makeup were directly in front of him.
"Dad? Dad?"
This scene is indeed a bit too exciting.
Kou Qiu gasped in grief and indignation, and shouted: 【Azai! 】
He pointed at the group of people in front of him with trembling fingers, [When did you have so many brothers! 】
No, when did he have so many sons! !
After slavery was abolished, the exchange also lost its most important source of income, and was gradually abandoned. Finally, it moved away from here and built another inconspicuous small house, while the original building became a deserted place.The carriage circled the corner of the street, and the nobles who used to come and go in the past seemed to have disappeared.

The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with the servant Xavier, it is obvious that the safety of a young master like Ulysses is more concerned.The doctor walked down the stairs, remembering the rumors that were popular in the city these days, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "You... just for a servant? Are you taking such a big risk?"
His eyes were filled with puzzlement, pity and surprise, "Why are you doing this!"
"But if I don't do this, I will take a greater risk." Kou Qiu lowered his eyes and smiled calmly, "I don't want to lose him."
He stared at the upstairs quietly, and there was an indelible sweetness in his eyes.
"Perhaps, you will understand after all."
Doctors really don't understand.
Ulysses Braden is the most beautiful rose, and countless people flocked to him.But this little rose, who is favored by God, would rather take her own life as a bet to save an insignificant servant.
what is this?
Thinking of the rumors he had heard these days, he couldn't help laughing.
Is this really what those people call love?
He adjusted his hat for the last time, and glanced at the strange pair of master and servant.But the strange thing is that he is clearly a believer, but now he has a little longing for such a love that obviously does not conform to the rules.
Being willing to take the greatest risk in the world for the other party, even if the world disagrees with it, it cannot be denied that it is touching.
So touching.
After Xavier recovered, John Braden also met the valet.He looked between the two with complicated eyes for a long time, and only then did he tell Ulysses' real life experience.
"Your mother is a princess," he said briefly. "If you wish, you have a higher right of inheritance than His Royal Highness."
Kou Qiu didn't respond to such a statement.He even just nodded and said, "Thank you father for your kindness in nurturing."
John Braden stared at him for a long time.
"Perhaps," he said, "you want to—"
"Do not."
Kou Qiu stopped his next words, and silently held his lover's hand tighter, "No."
"I don't have such thoughts, and I don't have such desires. Today, I am content."
John Braden sighed softly.
He didn't persuade anymore, but said in a deep voice: "You have your mother's heart."
After this secret conversation, a letter was sent to the court in a blink of an eye.Dolores, who was sitting in front of the mirror, looked at it, and then slowly opened the secret letter that she had changed places, and gently placed the secret that had been dusted for many years on the dancing candle flame.
It ended up being a puddle of soft ash.
Dolores' emerald eyes stared at the ashes for a long time, and then the corners of her lips curled up.
"love......"
she murmured.
This word reminded her of the ball with the skirts spinning, the mother waiting in the carriage, and the quiet kiss on the stairs.
Fortunately, she didn't have the courage at that time.Now, his family has enough courage.
She held the pool of ashes that still had the lingering warmth, as if she was holding back the love that she could not get back for a long time.
After two years of searching, Kou Qiu found Helun.The former Viscount Helun no longer has the title of nobility, so he can only live in other places, relying on his handsome face and sharp skills to barely make a living.He didn't dare to join the army anymore, and he didn't have the ability to revolt again. His arrest warrant is still posted in the streets and alleys, so he had to rely on his strength to do some work in the half-blind blacksmith shop.
Kou Qiu didn't bother him, but quietly ordered his subordinates to reveal his address to the woman he had cheated on.
Within a few days, Ive came to the door.
Of course she didn't come to hope for reconciliation.
"Give me the money!" Eve held the child who was already able to walk on the ground, raised eyebrows, "You left this at the beginning, how can you not be responsible?"
Seeing Helun's distressed appearance, the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Why," she said slowly, "When Viscount Heron tricked me into betraying his master, how glorious was it? Now, how come you can't even produce half a gallon?"
Heron couldn't stop being disturbed, and the progress of the task rose in a straight line, and soon reached seventy.Seeing that he was approaching the danger line, Kou Qiu hurriedly arranged for him to be appreciated artificially, and picked up a big pie that fell from the sky.
When Helun really thought that he could start over with a different identity, the noble person who admired him disappeared without a trace.
Heron: "..."
No, just leave after giving hope?How could there be such a ruthless thing in the world!
The ruthless old cadre Kou silently added fire to him.
The next day, Helun opened the door and saw the familiar figure of the woman in the exchange again.
His eyes suddenly went black.
......two.
Ruined.
What's the difference between this and sending him to hell directly?
A few days later, the third one also arrived.The Countess Shi Shiran came, she was looking forward to her, and her temperament was superb. When Helun saw her, she suddenly had some hope in his heart.
He tried his best to try to win the beautiful woman's heart again.Countless sweet words were poured out of his mouth, he expressed the guilt that he had been haunting all these days, and sincerely begged the countess to give him another chance.
The Countess listened patiently from the beginning to the end, and finally said to herself in amazement: "How could I fall in love with such a naughty person?"
Heron: "..."
No, when you say this, can you not pretend that I don't exist?
"I already have a fiancé," the countess stood up, curling the corners of her lips, "Viscount Helun, seeing that you are living in such a bad way, I feel relieved."
"There's nothing I can give you as a present..." She rummaged in her handbag, and finally found a half-new handkerchief, and threw it into the other party's arms. Thank you for opening your eyes.”
All Helun's skills were useless, and he just stared at her blankly.
The countess went out briskly, and there was another handsome figure waiting for her in the carriage.Seeing her coming out, the man immediately got out of the carriage and took her hand full of admiration.
The rumble of carriages sounded, and they went further and further away.
The countess did not look back.
She only stretched out her hand to pull the brim of the hat, and threw that inferior and indifferent self far behind the horse.
The days passed quickly, and when Kou Qiu was invited to attend Ellen's wedding, he unexpectedly discovered that Ellen had also sent an invitation for Xavier.He watched the girl in a snow-white veil walk slowly past the eyes of everyone, and slowly handed her hand to another person. This scene was sacred and touched people's hearts.
It wasn't until the wedding was over that the bride came over and looked at Kou Qiu.
All she said was, "I've known it since hunting."
Xavier squeezed his master's hand tighter all of a sudden, and Kou Qiu noticed that he was sweating slightly, as if he was afraid of hurting Ulysses' reputation.
Xavier's voice was dry: "You..."
"Bless you," Ellen cut off his words, still looking at Kou Qiu, "you—you are the most gentle person I have ever met."
She smiled, and that smile was like a spring flower blooming, bringing in the sunshine all at once, "So, what you have is what you deserve."
She took out the white rose she had been hiding in her hand all along, and inserted it into Kou Qiu's buttonhole.
Kou Qiu also looked at the other party, only said: "You will be happy."
None of them said any more.
After the end, Kou Qiu couldn't help feeling sorry: 【What a revolutionary comrade in arms! 】
[Don't think about it,] the system said quietly, sneering, [Do you really want to abolish the feudal monarchy and establish a democratic country? — Just kidding, you are not General Gu! 】
Veteran officer Kou: […]
He was about to say something more, but he felt the breathing of the people beside him suddenly tightened.When he raised his head, although Xavier still had a smile on his face, he held on to his hand and looked straight at him.
"What are you thinking?" the young man asked in a low voice.
Senior officer Kou saw the big dog's jealousy at a glance, and immediately comforted him: "I miss you."
The big dog was still looking at him quietly, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help flicking its tail happily.
"But I'm by your side."
Kou Qiu could only coax: "Then I miss you too."
"What about Max?"
"..." How can I still remember this, "I don't want him."
"why?"
"He has no dowry."
The corners of Xavier's lips tightened, as if he was thinking about his dowry.Looking at his appearance, Kou Qiu couldn't help laughing, and resignedly clenched the big dog's paws even tighter.
"Don't even think about it," he said. "There's no one else but you."
——From the beginning to the end, it has always been you.
When Kou Qiu woke up, the fragrance was extremely strong.That kind of aroma, like too much makeup powder, kept drilling into the nose, like a slippery snake.Obviously, he couldn't bear the smell of luxury, so he sneezed suddenly and sat up.
"Ah!" He heard a soft and greasy voice, both male and female, "Father, are you awake?"
Kou Qiu was dizzy, still thinking, when will I have another cub.
Before he could finish thinking, he heard more voices coming towards his face mixed with the fragrant wind.
"Father! Daddy, you haven't woken up for so many days, but you're so worried!"
"..."
Kou Qiu thought hesitantly, people?
"Boss Bai has come to find someone to serve him several times, Dad, I have earned you a lot of money—"
"..."
Kou Qiu thought, serve?
At the same time, the sound from outside finally reached his ears little by little.He could hear the thin groans, rasping his throat, mixed with joy, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his voice and shouted: "My lord, slave, slave—"
Senior officer Kou was completely frightened out of his confusion just now.
The successor of socialism opened his eyes and carefully glanced at the person in front of him.
A group of soft and charming boys stood in front of his bed, their clothes were wide open, and their faces smeared with makeup were directly in front of him.
"Dad? Dad?"
This scene is indeed a bit too exciting.
Kou Qiu gasped in grief and indignation, and shouted: 【Azai! 】
He pointed at the group of people in front of him with trembling fingers, [When did you have so many brothers! 】
No, when did he have so many sons! !
