08 Negotiation
When Sus and Hu Chiyo returned to their station, the two girls were busy tidying up their rooms. The basement on the upper and lower floors was quickly sorted out into four single rooms and a hall, which looked decent.
Seeing Sus's bloody clothes and Hu Chiyo following him, the two left-behind knew what should have happened before. Neither of them tacitly asked about the story. Lucia didn't ask because she couldn't talk too much about anything she did, while Ellie simply didn't care, and it seemed that the matter was over.
"Help Chiyo change a set of clothes and take care of it."
"Yes, young master. Miss Chiyo, please follow me."
In fact, Hu Chiyo also wanted to ask about the arrest of Xiusi himself, but now that Xiusi looked worried, she opened her mouth and swallowed the words in her mouth. Of course, it was not only Hu Chiyo who saw that Xiusi was abnormal, and Lucia also found that Xiusi unconsciously frowned.
"That,..."
"Where is my room?"
The girl was simply interrupted by Xiusi as soon as she wanted to speak. Such a very impolite thing would not usually be done by Xius, which made Lucia more confirm her judgment. But how to open your mouth? Lucia is a little uncertain. She knew that according to Xiusi's temper, as long as he told him where the room was, he would definitely leave himself without asking, close the door to think about the result alone, and would never say what he thought even if he couldn't think of the result. Lucia really wanted to walk into his heart, so Lucia seemed to be hesitant about Sius's straightforward question. Talk directly? It's not appropriate. Xiusi is not the kind of person who will confess when you confess, so the girl decided to take a detour first.
"Well, Xiu, can you change your clothes first?"
"Hmm." He still accepted this pertinent opinion and casually took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair.
"Wait a minute, come to me! I'll find another one for you."
After saying that, Lucia held his wrist without waiting for Sus to refuse and dragged him into her room.
The room separated by magic in the temporary basement makes people feel narrow and cold, so Lucia's walls are basically treated with warm colors, and the orange room gives people a hot feeling. In addition to a single bed placed by the wall, there is only one wardrobe and a fitting mirror in the room. Obviously, the owner of this room is quite concerned about his appearance.
Sius didn't look too much at Lucia's room. After all, it is not very ethical to peep into other people's private space.
"Wait here and I'll look for it."
After saying that, Lucia got into her big wardrobe. In fact, Xius was very puzzled that she wanted to find something and find another one. Why is it so troublesome!
After rummaging through the box and cupboard, Lucia found a male student uniform from Belsas Magic College and handed it to Susie: "Change it here! If it's not suitable, I'll look for it again.
Hearing this suggestion, Susus paused on his face and looked at Lucia with inexplicable eyes. Lucia just smiled brightly at this:
"Don't underestimate me. I'm very skilled at doing this kind of thing." The girl deliberately waved her little fist, as if to increase the reliability of her words.
At this time, Suses found some things she had ignored before: when Lucia followed her to escape, she not only did not have a big lady's temper, but also showed a high degree of proficiency in various chores, as if practice makes perfect in everything. Of course, even Xius knows that this kind of thing is impossible.
"Aren't you a young lady?" The teenager asked.
Lucia just smiled at this, "I'm just a fake young lady."
"Falge?"
"Well, fake, this is just a simple political trick. For some reasons, the family needs a certain number of female children to gain more benefits for their family, so they use some adopted baby girls to replace these fictitious places. At their age, they marry these girls as a political exchange, but the other party does not know that they married is just in-laws. It's just a few dogs raised since childhood.
Lucia's tone is very relaxed and sounds like she is talking about other people's things. But Moses can't keep a calm heart to listen to this matter. To some extent, Lucia and himself are probably in the same situation, and his situation is slightly better, but he doesn't need to marry himself for some unacceptable reasons.
"After knowing the truth, I feel that I should take the initiative to at least find a husband who can make me glorious and rich for a lifetime without looking at the face of the family. But in the end, it turned out to be just a meaningless struggle.
Just as Xiusi didn't know how to comfort Lucia, the girl gently came over and put her coat on Xiusi' shoulder, and the golden waves flashed across her face and emitted a faint, good smell.
"Don't comfort me, because I have been redeemed. Although I didn't regret it until I was walked into the church by a completely unknown man in my wedding dress, it doesn't seem too late."
Lucia hugged Sus from behind. Just like their first meeting, Lucia hugged Xius tightly from behind, but this time there was no teasing, no temptation or utilitarian. The beautiful girl breathed gently in Xius' ear:
"So don't take care of many things by yourself. I also hope to know about the repair and help share the troubles of the repair."
It's a little weird and warm. Xiusi, who doesn't know how to face this feeling, is a little slow. He understands that he is not a person who is good at understanding his feelings, and it is difficult to detect the feelings contained in other people's words. But it has been confessed like this, and no matter how dull you are, you should have responded! Thinking of this, Xius felt that he should say something.
"Actually..."
"Hmm?" The girl blinked her water-blue eyes and waited for the follow-up of Sius.
"Actually, I don't know what's going on. I went to the church to save Chiyo before. The other party was a quite strange person and said a messy thing. Although the words are messy, I always feel that what he said is true. I just want to think about it clearly.
"So that's it." Lucia nodded suddenly, and then smiled delicately, "Hey, I'm nervous."
"It's nothing."
The two of them were talking, but they did not find a gap in the crack of the door. In the gap, a black eye was staring at them with quite unpleasant eyes. If you really want to describe it in one word, it's resentment!
"Damn it, this sneaky cat!"
Hu Chiyo, who lay on the crack of the door and peeked, muttered in a dissatisfied voice, looking like a cat that had been taken away from the fish. The little tiger's teeth rubbed back and forth, as if he wanted to jump on it and bite people.
The maid leaning on one side to watch the play is quite indifferent. She is not even interested in peeking. Just seeing Hu Chiyo's unwillingness, the maid kindly suggested, "Aren't you going to get involved?" At least it may have ruined their current atmosphere!"
"No, we are not so unlevel people. No matter where we are, we will win with dignity!"
The samurai girl stood up her chest and declared to Ellie, looking very confident. However, the dragon-eyed maid didn't like her. She glanced at the wall of Chiyo's flat clothesline, shook her head slightly, and then sighed gently.
seemed to be hit by the maid's action. Chiyo was like a cat with a trampled tail. He jumped up in an instant, showing his tiger teeth and staring at Ellie.
"Do you look down on us? We will definitely become beautiful!"
"Ah, yes." Without the mood of accompanying Chiyo, Ellie casually and perfunctorily. She looked at the two people in the crack of the door intentionally or unintentionally. A shadow flashed in her two-color pupils, but disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
-
The dinner is made by a professional maid, so it looks quite exquisite. Even without a good knife and fork, a gorgeous silver plate, and no bright light, Xius and others ate quite happily. Such a meal is rare and precious for Xius and others who have been struggling, but no one knows how long this comfort can last.
At midnight, Lucia and Chiyo, who had been running around for a day, were tired and soon fell asleep. Only Xius was still thinking about the future with his eyelids.
After all, hiding in Belsas is not a long-term solution. Although the church chase order in the mouth of the strange divine servant did not know what it was, Xius did not feel the need for him to be alarmist. Thinking of this, Xius began to hesitate whether he would stay with Chiyo. Besides, he still has a lot of his own things to break, and it is impossible for him to stay in this place all the time.
Just as Susis struggled repeatedly, the door of the room was gently knocked.
"Come in."
"Young master, why don't you rest?"
Seus found that it was his dragon-eyed maid who pushed the door and entered. At this moment, the girl was holding a dim oil lamp, and her golden and cyan eyes reflected strange light under the reflection of the light. Xiusi was very strange about her visit. Even if he was as dull as Xius, he knew that the maid's attitude towards her was unreasonable. Why did she have time to knock on her door at this time?
"What can I do for you?" Sius simply asked.
"I have something to talk to you about." The maid said so.
