Early the next morning, Ronald came upstairs on time and knocked gently on the door.
The door on the third floor was not closed, but the scene in the room was openly revealed.
Ronald knocked on the door as a courtesy to alert the two people in the house of his arrival.
"..."
"Huh? It's Ronald."
Hearing the knock on the door, Patricia, who already lived here, immediately turned her head and smiled at him.
Not far in front of the girl, Mrs. Hudson, the landlady of the apartment, stood here. The landlady looked the same as before this morning, and she also nodded slightly to Ronald at the door.
Immediately, the two people in the room continued what they had been doing before.
Patricia didn't regard Ronald as an outsider.
After saying hello, he gently touched his chest with his right hand, then bowed slightly towards Ms. Hudson and said:
"Ms. Hudson, this is a really disturbing time."
"I only rented it for this period of time before informing you that I am leaving. Please forgive me for being so rash."
"No, no, no!" Faced with Patricia's sincere apology, Mrs. Hudson immediately shook her head, "It is an honor to have a polite and dignified lady like you renting my house.
Ah. Among the residents I have met over the years, Miss Patricia is definitely one of the best."
At this point, Mrs. Hudson seemed to remember something, turned her head and glanced at Ronald who had just come in at the door, and immediately added:
"Of course, Mr. Ronald, you are also an excellent gentleman."
Ronald immediately put on a smile and replied:
"Ms. Hudson, thank you for the compliment."
"This is not a compliment, it is a fact."
Smiling and nodding to Ronald, Ms. Hudson stopped being polite to the two of them and turned around and walked out of the room.
"As for you two, I won't bother you."
"Miss Patricia, just pack your things and I'll clean the room later."
While talking about her plan, Mrs. Hudson's voice disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
I heard the rhythmic footsteps fading away at the bottom of the stairs.
Ronald and Patricia were now alone.
A man and a woman stood quietly in the room. They were surprisingly tacit and shy with each other, neither of them looking at each other.
After being silent for three to five breaths, Ronald spoke first.
"..."
"Patricia, are you leaving today?"
"yes."
Responded to Ronald.
Patricia, who had been standing there just now, seemed like a clockwork doll, and immediately continued to pack her luggage.
On the chair in the room on the third floor, a suitcase about thirty inches in size was open. In addition to the daily necessities and clothes put in it, the 'umbrella' that Patricia had used before was also leaning on the edge of the chair.
The luggage that the girl prepared was only a normal amount, corresponding to her status as a noble, so it was absolutely okay to say it was shabby.
But that's not the point of the problem now.
Just like Ronald knew.
——Patricia is leaving.
Her work in Burrenwich has ended, and as an important member of the Nicklaus family, she must return to the Springs in time.
Patricia has a responsibility and an identity of her own.
This was something decided early on.
"..."
He packed his items carefully and everything was in an orderly manner.
At this moment, the girl saw Ronald's eyes out of the corner of her eye.
"well?"
"Ronald, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"..."
Didn't you sleep well?
I won the grand prize last night!
He complained silently in his mind, but before answering in reality, Ronald still hesitated for a moment. He pondered for a few seconds, put on a smile on his face, but in the end he still did not tell the truth about what he had discovered last night.
"Isn't it true that yesterday's party was too exhausting?"
"After a night of commotion, this was probably the worst night of rest I've had recently."
"Ha ha--"
Hearing this reason, Patricia smiled happily.
"You guy, it's a shame that I praised you last night."
"Here, this is for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Patricia took out a small bottle from the box and threw it over.
Ronald took it firmly in his hand and looked at it carefully.
A colorless glass bottle the size of mascara, with about four-fifths of the light yellow liquid inside. There was no label or nameplate on it, so Ronald naturally couldn't figure out what it contained.
But considering the current topic...
"Patricia, is this used to eliminate dark circles?"
"No." Patricia turned around and continued to pack her luggage, while explaining without looking back, "I have never prepared anything to eliminate dark circles."
"As for this..."
"This thing is called Gaoshui. It's a refreshing potion."
"When I go out to do errands, if I feel low, I will unscrew the bottle cap and smell it. In addition to refreshing me, it can also suppress minor headaches, which is very effective."
Ronald immediately thanked:
"Thank you so much..."
She carefully put the water into her pocket, and Patricia also packed her luggage.
With a 'click' sound, the small suitcase was locked by her.
Pick up the decorative sword from the side and hang it on the buckle at your waist.
Put on the final coat.
At this time, Patricia was dressed exactly the same as when Ronald saw her.
Her slightly smiling expression reveals her temperament.
As heroic as ever.
Looking at Ronald, Patricia immediately said:
"Okay, it's time for me to go."
"..."
"I send you."
As he spoke, Ronald stretched out his right hand and picked up the packed suitcase for Patricia.
The girl organized her luggage in such an orderly manner that he didn't even feel much shaking inside after lifting it up.
Go downstairs and say goodbye to Mrs. Hudson.
The two called a carriage and soon arrived at Burrenwich Railway Station.
Naturally, the staff here would not completely forget about Ronald in more than a month.
But after seeing Patricia who came to the train station with him.
These people had no intention of coming to say hello.
Immediately, Ronald and Patricia walked through the passage and entered the platform.
The Dongfeng's arrival time in Burrenwich was morning. After handing the suitcase to the steward for delivery, Patricia turned to Ronald with an expectant look at the end of getting on the train:
"Ronald, see you in Springs?"
Ronald nodded seriously and immediately replied:
"Well, see you in Springs."
After getting the answer she wanted, the girl immediately turned around and got in the car.
There wasn't a trace of hesitation in the background.
Wuwuwu——
哐珰哐台哐珰——
White steam roared out, and as he watched the Dongfeng gradually leave the platform, Ronald shuddered unconsciously, a shiver that shouldn't have occurred due to his current physical condition.
"Tsk——"
Ronald smiled to himself.
After watching the other party leave, he slowly walked to the hawker and bought a piece of bread with a few narrations.
Sitting on a bench and eating cheap bread for lunch, he threw the wrapping paper into the nearest trash can.
Then there are some things that are the same as more than a month ago, and some things that are different.
