[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Darcy frowned slightly after hearing his sister's description.He didn't want to bring his worries to Georgiana, so he just said to her, "I see. If he shows up again, I'll take care of it."

It was not until Georgiana walked out of the room that Darcy showed a worried look.

After experiencing what happened to Wickham, Georgiana always became a little different from before.And this change is not limited to her—people around Georgiana, from the servant Darcy herself, are all cautious and careful about her relationship issues.

Of course, this is not to say that Georgiana's social circle ended here, but since she saw Wickham's true face, she became somewhat indifferent to the men around her.Darcy wanted to discuss this topic with Georgiana, but he was Georgiana's elder brother and had always played the role of father.Really want him to sit down and talk about love with his sister... Stop messing around!Since his own problem has not been tossed clearly!

Darcy thought about Georgiana, and then about Skye, and deeply felt that he could not easily solve all the things.He felt a little frustrated.

When London is colder in winter, Christmas is only a few days away.Skye was dragged out by An Wenqiang for several shopping trips.The dazzling array of goods and Christmas decorations on the streets all highlight the festive atmosphere.At the same time, it's also stimulating people to shop*.

When it was cold, Skye was usually reluctant to go out.Even if Anwen generously said that he can pay for all the orders Skye bought, it still can't stop Skye from guessing——Anwen just wants to take the opportunity of shopping to find the things he saw that day in various stores. girl.

But Skye didn't expose Anwen.Whether or not Anwen was lucky enough to get what he wanted, Skye enjoyed his jokes.

The two brothers and sisters walked on the snow under umbrellas. The thick snow and the pine trees on the side of the road decorated a bustling scene.There are several young couples walking hand in hand by the roadside. If they encounter mistletoe, they will obviously have a chance to kiss openly.

God-given props for love.Even if there are some sad myths and legends involved, who would care?

Skye was afraid of the cold in winter, she tightened her clothes, feeling that talking would waste a certain amount of heat.For the time being she decided not to waste her energy on pointless bickering.

But Anwen was not prepared to let her go.

"It's been so many days, and Mr. Darcy didn't give any explanation. Maybe he just doesn't want to keep in touch with you. If you knew that this kind of thing would happen, wouldn't you have Got into a fight with him."

What Anwen said was not really to satirize Skye.He just mistook Skye's silence for a sign of gloom.After all, it's not in her nature that Skye didn't start a verbal war this time around.

Skye took a deep breath.When the cold air enters the trachea, it takes away a lot of heat.She really couldn't think about it before going shopping with Anwen - Skye thought depressingly.And when the exhaled breath condensed into the air, Skye's temper was even worse.

"It depends on Christmas. After all, not everyone is as free as you on Christmas Eve." Skye pulled Anwen into a clothing store.The warm yellow lights in the store gave her a little comfort.

At this time, if there is a footstool and a fireplace, it will be perfect.

Skye looked at the clothes and skirts in the store slowly, and continued to say to Anwen: "Christmas... Although I don't believe in the story of Santa Claus, there are still gifts. Let me say first, I don't want to be Wake up and see socks on the bed, but still need Christmas presents!"

"That means your brother can also receive the first gift from your sister?"

Skye rolled her eyes, and she ordered the clerk next to her to bring her a dress with a long skirt. The design and tailoring of the mermaid tail are very interesting.Skye wasn't sure if there was a fishbone design in the blue dress, which is why she took it down to have a look.

"I thought you tricked your poor sister into giving you a gift when you were younger?" Skye was really young at that time.A guest gave her a lovely pearl necklace. ···Later, Anwen tricked him into taking it as a Christmas present.

"But those are gone..." Anwen looked at the pearls inlaid on the other dress with some regret, as if it was made of the necklace Skye gave him when he was 'young and ignorant'.

Skye was silent.She quickly asked the clerk to take down another dress.

When he reached the corner of the shop, Anwen supported Zhi Skye with his arm, and motioned her to look up at the ceiling of the shop.

This clothing store sells expensive clothes and caters to a discerning clientele.The clerk carefully cleans the store every day, and there must be no spider webs.

Skye followed Anwen's gaze upwards, and what Anwen pointed out to her was a mistletoe.

"Hiss..." Skye gasped, and quickly took a few steps back as if she saw something dirty.He didn't stop until he was out of the range of the mistletoe.After Skye stood still, seeing Anwen's expression, something was wrong.

Anwen looked innocently at the ceiling, then at Skye, "The decoration of this shop is really cryptic. Think about it, if a couple of lovers find this by accident, it would be a nice surprise..."

Anwen saw that Skye was still looking at him with an exaggerated frightened expression.His eyes turned slightly, and fell on the clerk who was holding a large pile of clothes.

——Anwen's original intention was to think that Skye bought clothes so quickly.Looking carefully at the clothes she picked out are really good, not perfunctory.

But the clerk who was stared at by Anwen didn't have such a good feeling.He himself stared blankly at Skye retreating such a long distance, as if seeing something dirty.But before he finished his daze, the gentleman who accompanied the lady looked at him with admiring eyes.

The misunderstanding came so suddenly.

The clerk looked up at the mistletoe hanging above the store. This was what the boss called a surprise, and at this time it became more or less frightened.He quickly retreated from directly below, and obediently retreated behind Skye.

Now both Skye and Anwen saw it.They glanced at each other, one showed a helpless expression, and the other laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his waist.

Skye felt that Anwen's expression was really funny, and at the same time, the embarrassment of the clerk after realizing that it was a joke was also a bit dramatic.

Skye went under the mistletoe again.She never believed in these things, but this did not prevent her from teasing Anwen: "I just don't know that a witty gentleman will pay off this little surprise."

Anwen shrugged: "It's not a wise move to do such a thing in public."

"But there are always girls who like this kind of romance." Skye Ninja said with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Anwen glanced at Skye suspiciously.

Skye nodded.

She believes that some people will accept it happily. After all, the magic power of mistletoe is to temporarily reconcile enemies.

Well.This dress looks good, buy it.

So back and forth, when the clerk was about to be overwhelmed, the clothing store ushered in new customers.

"Mr. Darcy?"

"Skye?"

If it weren't for the accidental encounter, Skye probably wouldn't have realized how strange her and Darcy's mutual address was.One is to use the given name, and the other is to use the surname.

Skye pursed her lips, - "Fitzwilliam." She repeated the address angrily.

Darcy didn't quite understand this attitude, but addressing him by his Christian name was always a further explanation.He walked up to Skye and repeated: "Skye."

—simply stupid not to look directly at.

The air is filled with the embarrassment of unfulfilled love.Fortunately, the parties involved still remembered the onlookers around them, so they quickly acted cheekily as if nothing had happened.

But how could it be as if nothing had happened?Anwen stood aside and saw the development just now.He interjected cheerfully: "Ah! Mr. Darcy. You've come just in time."

This is obviously not a good opening. Something must have happened if Anwen wanted to show courteousness to Darcy.

"Mr. Unwin." Darcy didn't know whether to call him 'Anter' or 'Holt'.Skye's elder brother always gave him a feeling of being helpless and carefree.Therefore, Darcy didn't like to joke with him unless it was necessary to talk.

"Skye and I went shopping. As you can see, I think today is really a special day for you to meet under the mistletoe." Anwen showed a narrow smile: "Of course, this is also a special day , allowing you to see a side of Skye that you don’t often show.”

Skye's scalp tingled.She guessed Anwen's sinister intentions.The footsteps moved slightly to the side, trying to keep a little distance from the clerk behind him without any trace.

The clerk holding a pile of clothes is obviously still wandering.After all, Skye had never seen a high society clothing store clerk entertaining customers with clothes in his arms before today. ... But that's not a problem, as the clerk is holding the clothes like this, those skirts are about to bury him on the ground.Those who didn't know thought that Skye was trying to decorate a Christmas tree, and Darcy saw this scene!

A woman's desire to shop is not a bad thing, but it does not conform to Skye's consistent image.

Darcy froze for a moment.Without Anwen's reminder, he couldn't connect Skye with the clothes on the clerk's hands.But obviously, if it wasn't for Anwen's habit of publicly wearing women's clothing, then these clothes were indeed purchased by Skye.

In my impression, Skye has never appeared in front of him wearing the same two clothes.Darcy recalled silently. Of course, the bad situation of Sky Bookstore should not be included in the scope of comparison.

"If you can... please give me this chance." Darcy said to Anwen without hesitation.

He wants to pay the bill!How can this be!

Of course Skye was not short of this money, and Darcy was also famously rich.But if Skye worked so hard to buy items, if she couldn't make Anwen lose a fortune, or hang Anwen as a Christmas tree, then it would be meaningless for her to go out in such a cold day.

"I don't think so." Skye politely refused. "Anwen will be happy to pay the bill for me."

"What happened last time..."

"Fitzwilliam!" Skye interrupted.She pointed at the ceiling helplessly, and said as if she was telling a little secret: "Under the mistletoe, I will not pursue these for the time being." Skye didn't want Darcy to think too much about her words, which would cause any distortion. Then asked: "By the way, why didn't Georgiana come with you?"

Darcy already knew something about Skye's jumpy speech.He looked back at the direction of the store door and explained: "We met two of her friends when we were in the cake shop just now. I came out first when they were chatting."

These words are more or less a sign of loyalty.Skye figured it out after a little thought.How attractive Mr. Darcy, the golden bachelor, was to Georgiana's friends--ladies who were just within the age range to be Mr. Darcy's wife.

Perhaps it was one thing to chat with Georgiana, and quite another to take the opportunity to talk to Darcy.

It's just that Darcy doesn't like to intervene in the chat between her sister and her friends. She considerately gave the ladies a chance to tell private stories, and may have guessed the intentions of those ladies.

All in all, the results are good.Skye nodded, striding away from the clerk, a reduction that associated her with a 'shopaholic'.

When the store door was pushed open again, a beautiful lady walked in.She first saw Skye standing at the opposite door and showed a big smile.

"Brother! Skye!" She walked in quickly.

At this time, Anwen was still admiring an interesting crystal ball on the counter.

The crystal ball is also a Christmas-inspired item, with blurry glass filled with sparkling sequins.I don't know what kind of magical technology was used, but the inside of the crystal ball showed liquid fluidity, and when it was shaken gently, it was like snow falling in a thick fog.

The workmanship could be improved, but the idea is very novel.

Anwen played with it casually, and he gave Darcy and Skye a relatively open space, allowing them a little time to communicate.Skye has obviously made up his mind on Darcy, so it's good to toss about his future brother-in-law, because if it is too much, he may lose his grace.

Anwen thought about how the gadget in his hand could be improved, and he believed that many dignitaries would be interested in it.The store manager watched Anwen's actions very worriedly, for fear that he would accidentally drop the things.

——This is a very expensive crystal ball, and the craftsmanship is also very rare...

The nervous store manager didn't notice the other female customer who entered the door, but Anwen heard the names of Darcy and Skye being called.With his back to the store door, he felt someone walking past him, bringing a slight fragrance.

Anwen looked back...

The next moment, the crystal ball in his hand fell to the ground.
